Soon, the law in football that repeated wasted opportunities will be punished came into effect.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Aguero's long-range shot from the top of the arc was not fully effective and the ball was confiscated by Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone.
After his teammates pressed forward, Mannone directly kicked the ball towards the frontcourt.
In the left rib area of Manchester City's half-time circle, Watmore rushed to the landing point immediately, turning his back to prepare to unload the ball into his chest.
But Clichy was extremely determined to grab the ball, hit the front right side of Watmore and took off, directly hammering the ball out of the sideline.
The ball bounced into the Sunderland coaching area. Moyes caught the ball and quickly threw it to Donald Love who ran over to prepare for a quick start.
Donald Love lifted the ball over his head and threw it toward Watmore.
But Clichy stuck very closely from behind, which not only prevented Watmore from turning around, but also interfered with Watmore's ability to get the ball.
But this time Watmore was on guard, and Chrissy couldn't defeat Watmore.
Although the two were about the same height, Chrissy was 7kg behind Watmore in terms of tonnage, so Chrissy was quickly stuck behind Watmore and stopped the ball with his chest.
feet.
Chu Zheng, who was retreating along the wing, saw this and accelerated directly, preparing to flank Watmore with Clichy.
But Watmore didn't give Chu Zheng this chance.
After pushing Clichy backwards, he turned around and charged towards the top of the arc in the middle, giving people the feeling of being dizzy.
Because before and after the end line of the penalty area in the right rib area at the top of the arc, Fernandinho and Kolarov stood vertically parallel, waiting for him to fall into the trap.
When Chu Zheng saw Fernandinho approaching, he stopped pursuing him.
The defensive ability shown by this big brother in training is excellent and completely trustworthy.
So Chu Zheng took advantage of the situation and dragged him to the left rear side of Watmore to prevent this guy from spinning around and killing him.
As a result, the next second, Fernandinho taught Chu Zheng a lesson.
Damn it, boy! Blind trust is not allowed!
In front of everyone, outside the upper right corner of the penalty area, Watmore, who was clearly sandwiched by Fernandinho and Clichy, miraculously delivered the ball.
The ball rolled past Fernandinho's feet and went straight to Borini in the right rib area at the top of the arc.
David Silva was right next to the passing line. When he saw the ball rolling in front of him, he quickly extended his legs to intercept it, but he was sloppy and his legs were a bit short and he couldn't reach it.
"Kevin!!! Cut the line!!!"
Seeing David Silva continue to follow up and grab Borini, Chu Zheng immediately spoke to remind De Bruyne who had just retreated along the middle.
But before he finished speaking, Borini passed the ball.
The ball went straight to Rodwell in the center and in front of the penalty arc.
De Bruyne, who was between Rodwell and Borini, had long enough feet, but this guy reacted a step too slowly and watched the ball roll away from him.
The moment Rodwell stopped the ball, Stones, who was inward at the top of the arc, directly pressed out, and De Bruyne also grabbed it from the right side.
But Stones's move to grab the ball exposed the space behind him.
Rodwell saw this space, but he was not in a hurry.
Instead, he turned the ball to the left and faced Lyndon Gooch, who was unguarded in the left rib area at the top of the key.
This turning movement immediately deceived Sagna, who was guarding Defoe at the top of the left arc.
Sania has an obvious movement of shifting his center of gravity to the right.
Defoe beside him suddenly started to drill into the space behind Stones at this moment.
The next second, Rodwell, who had a false shot, pushed the ball away with his left foot.
The ball rolled past Stones' crotch and went straight to Defoe.
Defoe took the lead, turned left to face the goal, raised his right foot and pushed directly into the center of the goal.
At such a close distance, Caballero was completely powerless and could only watch the ball roll past his feet and then into his own goal.
"good chance!!!!"
"The ball is in!!!!!!"
"Defoe!!!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu suddenly exclaimed.
"Sunderland equalized at the Etihad Stadium!!!"
"Jermain Defoe, this is his 16th season in the Premier League and he is also the 8th Premier League player to do this!"
On the coaching bench on the sidelines, Guardiola sat expressionless and took a whole bottle of mineral water directly into his mouth.
In the coaching area, Moyes was already shaking his fist in celebration.
In the stands, the Manchester City fans were also a lot quieter. Everyone had a look of helplessness on their faces, and at the same time they were afraid that the team would lose the opening game of the new season.
"Stones was a bit too reckless to grab the ball!" Zhang Lu said after watching the replay.
"Look, as soon as Stones came out, a huge gap instantly appeared between Sagna and Kolarov, who were originally on the same line with him!"
"This hole was immediately caught by Rodwell and the experienced Defoe, and they ran away without any hesitation!"
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "This ball Rodwell is also very brave, and he just hit Stones' crotch!"
"Defoe's turn when leading the ball is also very beautiful. It completely saves the time of adjustment. He just lifts his foot and hits, without giving Kolarov and others a chance to get close!"
On the sidelines, Guardiola had already stood up after drinking a bottle of water.
Beside him stood Nolito.
After Guardiola gave Nolito some brief tactical instructions, the fourth official on the sidelines soon raised the electronic sign for substitutions.
"Oh! Nolito is substituted!"
"The replacement is No. 21 David Silva!"
"In this case, Chu Zheng may return to the middle!"
Zhang Lu's guess was correct. After Nolito came on the scene, he appeared directly on the left, while Chu Zheng returned to the middle.
This substitution is effective, and the effect is explosive.
Less than five minutes after the game restarted, countless fans in the stands and in front of the TV discovered that Manchester City's midfield operation and scheduling had gone up to a higher level, and even the pace of the game had become faster.
On the defensive end, Manchester City's backline also became solid under Chu Zheng's command, and it didn't look as loose as it did in the first half.
And all of this is inseparable from the blue figure No. 10.
Ten minutes later, most Sunderland fans reacted as if their team had not had an effective and threatening counterattack for a long time.
Suddenly, these belated Sunderland fans finally realized that the situation was not good.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Moyes, with his arms folded, stared at Chu Zheng, who was strolling in the middle of the field, commanding and dispatching calmly, showing the demeanor of a general. His eyes were full of incredulity.
He had heard Chu Zheng's name before coming to the Premier League, but he knew the media very well and always liked to over-praise a player who performed well.
However, today, he realized that maybe the media was telling the truth.
Soon, Moyes no longer had any thoughts.
In the 76th minute of the game, Chu Zheng was in the 40-meter area in the middle of the Sunderland half. After breaking Sunderland's press with the cooperation of Fernandinho and others around him, he suddenly stuffed the ball to the top of the arc.
In the left rib area, De Bruyne, who is within the flanking range of Sunderland players, quickly moves forward.
When he came to the front of the right rib area at the top of the arc and saw Sterling adducting, he took advantage of the situation and pulled it to the outside of the rib area.
Near the upper left corner of the penalty area, De Bruyne took the ball and faced the goal.
But Lamin Cone was right in front of De Bruyne. Although he didn't stretch his feet to steal, he blocked De Bruyne's breakthrough and passing route to the center.
On the left wing, Nolito moved forward in time to contain Donald Love, preventing De Bruyne from being flanked from both sides. However, Donald Love cut off De Bruyne's pass to Nolito's baseline.
line.
De Bruyne lingered in front of the penalty area line for about two seconds, and suddenly moved his right foot outward, facing the top area of the key.
At this moment, he saw Chu Zheng in the upper corner of the penalty area on the other side.
At this time, Chu Zheng was also looking at De Bruyne.
The two people looked at each other in the distance, and sparks suddenly collided. They were so blessed that they seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking.
The next second, De Bruyne continued to move his right foot outwards, followed up and quickly crossed the ball.
At the same time, Chu Zheng also broke into Sunderland's penalty area from the upper right corner of the penalty area.
But when De Bruyne passed the ball, O'Shea turned around in time to pounce and interfered, causing a slight deviation in De Bruyne's passing line.
In the right rib area of the penalty area, Chu Zheng instantly judged that De Bruyne's ball was a little weak.
It landed on the position of Van Aanholt who was stuck in front of him.
Just when Chu Zheng was about to go up and fight for the top, he suddenly saw Van Aanholt turn slightly and face the goal.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Chu Zheng's mind.
The next second, Chu Zheng quickly started and rushed directly towards Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone in front of the goal post.
As soon as Chu Zheng's shot came out like a spring, Van Aanholt headed the ball back towards goalkeeper Manol.
Seeing this scene, Moyes jumped up on the sidelines and wanted to drag Van Aanholt down and beat him up.
Playing with Nima!
However, the next second, Moyes couldn't care less about being angry. He was so dumbfounded that he turned into a sculpture in the coaching area.
On the field, in the upper right corner of Sunderland's small penalty area, Chu Zheng, who had predicted his run in advance, stretched out his right foot in time and hooked the ball back in front of him that was about to land on the line of the small penalty area.
The ball first jumped to the top of Chu Zheng's head, and then fell slightly behind Chu Zheng after reaching the highest point.
In front of Chu Zheng, goalkeeper Mannone, who was about to take the ball into his arms, saw this scene and his eyes widened.
But when he saw the ball being hooked behind Chu Zheng, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, he saw Chu Zheng suddenly brake after hooking the ball, and his body was at an angle of about 50 degrees with the ground.
At this time, from the perspective of countless fans, the ball was above and behind Chu Zheng's head, and was about to start falling.
At this moment, Chu Zheng made an action that made everyone feel numb.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Zheng was seen using his right foot to support himself and suddenly exerted force, forcing himself to twist his body backwards.
When Chu Zheng turned around completely, he pushed hard and his body fell backwards with the help of the remaining inertia.
The next second, the instep of Chu Zheng's right foot, which he swung upward, directly hit the falling ball.
boom!
A muffled sound!
Then the ball turned into a white light under everyone's eyes and flew into the goal from the upper corner of the near post.
At this moment, the huge Etihad Stadium suddenly hit the bottom, making people feel as if the Etihad suddenly became quiet.
Most of the 55,097 fans in the stands had the same movements and expressions.
They put their heads in their hands and stared at Chu Zheng on the court with wide eyes.
There were even many staff nearby watching this scene blankly.
In the live commentary box, Manchester City's official commentators Martin and Smith also had their eyes widened, as if they were shocked.
Two seconds later, there was a bang!
A terrifying wave of cheers suddenly rose up, sweeping towards every corner of the stadium like a stormy wave, causing countless people to subconsciously cover their ears!
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" At the same time, Martin and Smith's hoarse roars also sounded at this moment.
But compared with the sound waves raging in the Etihad Stadium, the shouts of the two people were as small as a grain of sand in the sea.
On the sidelines, Guardiola, who was sitting on the bench, witnessed Chu Zheng's miraculous overhead shot. He held the sides of his bald head with both hands and had an incredible smile on his face.
Yaya Toure, Sane, Otamendi and others on the bench were also shocked!
In the LeTV Sports live broadcast room, the moment Chu Zheng scored this ground-breaking goal, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu jumped up from their seats at the same time, and cathartic cheers echoed in the empty live broadcast room.
At this moment, countless domestic fans who witnessed Chu Zheng's shocking hook felt the blood in their bodies rushing through their veins, and they just wanted to roar out to vent.
They did the same thing.
However, the price for yelling and screaming in the middle of the night is a beating from a family member or a yelling from a neighbor!
At the Etihad Stadium, Chu Zheng stood up and ran towards the corner area with open arms. Halfway through, he first did a three-front somersault, then followed up with a two-meter-long sliding kneel, and finally brought his unique celebration posture to the Etihad Stadium.
Etihad Stadium.
"This is a goal that can be called a miracle in football!!!!" In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun, who was overly excited, directly gave Chu Zheng's goal an exaggerated definition.
Next to him, Zhang Lu nodded wildly, with a face full of amazement. She raised her voice and said at a very fast speed: "From the prediction in advance to when Van Aanholt was about to pass the head to the goalkeeper, every step Chu Zheng made was magical.
.”
"Especially his series of actions in which he hooks the ball and then quickly turns around and jumps to complete the overhead shot. It is simply an art!"
"As long as the strength is greater or less, he will not be able to kick the ball!"
"But everything is so perfect! From hooking the ball to completing the shot, everything is in Chu Zheng's plan!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the Puskas Award can only be won once, Chu Zheng might not have won the FIFA Puskas Award this year!"
When Zhan Jun heard Zhang Lu's words, he immediately laughed and said: "This kind of goal may not be so beautiful even if it is replaced by Melo!"
Zhang Lu nodded and said no more. He needed to calm down.
But when he thought about the scene just now, he became excited and couldn't calm down.
As a professional commentator for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such a goal. It was already magical enough to predict it in advance.
As a result, Chu Zheng hooked back and turned around to hit. The series of actions were completely natural. The viewing effect of this goal was simply explosive!
