Chapter 353 West Ham United’s brief moment of glory!
On the field, after West Ham United pulled a goal back, Antonio rushed into the goal and took the ball out. On the way to the center circle, other West Ham United players ran over.
The Hammers fans, who had been silent for more than 60 minutes in the stands, also began to become active, causing the on-site director to frequently show the camera to the stand where West Ham United was.
There is actually a strange phenomenon in the Premier League, that is, for a team that is relatively weak on paper, if you cannot directly kill the suspense of the game, once they score a goal, the team may go crazy next.
In turn, kill the opponent.
In recent years, there have been examples of this team defeating the strong in almost every season. From Manchester United to Liverpool, almost every giant has capsized in the gutter.
It's like this situation. I was kicked by one side, pressed to the ground and rubbed wildly. As a result, I suddenly got a goal back, and my morale immediately increased and I started to attack in turn.
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Guardiola quickly replaced Kolarov.
But the person who was replaced was not Clichy, but Stones, who had been poked in the defense and was in tears, and could hardly open his eyes.
West Ham United coach Bilic replaced Enna Valencia with Lanzini, who had just recovered from a muscle strain.
Lanzini is also a versatile frontcourt player who can play as a forward or an attacking midfielder.
So Bilic's intention is very obvious. The famous Croatian coach hopes to take away 1 or 3 points from the Etihad Stadium.
Soon, the game started again.
Sure enough, after successfully regaining a goal, West Ham United received Bilic's new tactical instructions, and the forward line directly pressed out to press high.
West Ham United also increased the intensity of their pressing in the midfield.
From time to time, a central defender would come up from the back line to join the midfield battle, trying to use their own hardness and tenacious willpower to break open Manchester City's goal again.
In the next short period of time, West Ham United ushered in the highlight moment of the game.
Through active and physical running, West Ham United players frequently stole the ball in the midfield and formed a counterattack, which actually suppressed Manchester City.
In the 70th minute of the game, the ball moved laterally from the left side of the center circle to the right side.
Sam Byram took the ball and turned around. He saw that Antonio, who was in the inside position on the front line, had already started to move forward. He directly passed the ball with a long kick.
Antonio was really fast and surpassed Chrissy in an instant.
After seeing Kolarov in the ribs, he quickly moved towards Antonio, and Clichy took advantage of the situation and moved in to fill the position.
Outside the right sideline of Manchester City's penalty area, Antonio caught up with the ball. Without any hesitation, he was extremely determined and crossed with his right foot.
The experienced Kolarov made a very accurate judgment, but Antonio's pass was so powerful that the ball hit his intercepting left foot and turned into a high ball.
Ashley Fletcher in the middle was stuck behind Otamendi. When he saw the ball bouncing in front of him, he jumped first and threw himself forward.
The next second, Ashley Fletcher reached the top of the ball in a posture of riding on Otamendi's back.
Otamendi, on the other hand, was bent over and unable to defend effectively.
"fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Witnessing Ashley Fletcher's header hitting the left post and passing by the sliding door, the Etihad Stadium suddenly burst into deafening exclamations again!
"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun stared and said in a long voice!
"Man City escaped disaster!!!" Zhang Lu looked regretful. The situation of the game suddenly changed, which was really beyond his expectation.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was yelling on the court like a madman. He was gesticulating with his hands, raising them up and pressing them down. With his serious expression, anyone with eyes could tell that he was dealing with the ball.
The team's defense was extremely dissatisfied.
Next to him, Bilic, who has heavy metal rock attributes, was also not idle. He also gestured and yelled instructions at the players on the court.
These two coaches also frequently attracted the attention of broadcast cameras.
Seeing the two coaches fighting each other will make countless fans in front of the TV smile.
On the field, although the game situation was not good for Manchester City, Chu Zheng looked calm.
After realizing the difficulties the team was experiencing, Chu Zheng stopped pressing forward and began to stay in the midfield to sort out and manage the ball.
Play with rhythm control!
hehe!
Simple!
Chu Zheng's response strategy is also very simple, which is to play fast, which happens to be Guardiola's tactical requirement for them to be fast.
Since West Ham United wants to rob and rush, let them rob and rush.
In the first 60 minutes of the game, West Ham United followed their lead, and Chu Zheng clearly understood how physically demanding this passive style of play was.
He didn't believe West Ham could maintain this intensity of pressing and rapid attack until the 90th minute.
After Chu Zheng took advantage of the dead ball to communicate with De Bruyne and Fernandinho, fans soon discovered that Manchester City had changed and started passing and controlling in the backcourt.
But this kind of passing and control is not slow, and the ball still rotates very quickly.
When Guardiola saw this scene on the sidelines, his eyes suddenly lit up like stars.
Especially Chu Zheng's position selection in the midfield and backfield when breaking West Ham United's press, in the eyes of Guardiola, a master tactician, it is simply an art.
Often as soon as the ball reaches a certain area, Chu Zheng has already chosen the position.
As long as the receiver is pressed by a West Ham United player, Chu Zheng will definitely be able to break the opponent's pressure.
In addition, Chu Zheng's strategy also inspired Guardiola and provided another tactical idea.
Bilic also discovered that Chu Zheng had expanded his running range, and every movement on the field accurately hit their weak spots, and he was suddenly amazed and amazed.
Bilic feels that Chu Zheng is even more evil than last season. He can see that Chu Zheng seems to be as comfortable as a fish in water in Guardiola's system.
In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester City's offensive resumed.
Chrissy, who has learned a lot from his mistakes, learned wisely this time.
He didn't wait for Antonio to come up in the backcourt, and directly kicked the ball behind him with his back, directly defusing another West Ham United side attack.
More than ten meters behind Clichy, on the center line of the wing, Nolito and Sam Byram were in place at the same time.
Nolito took off half a beat faster, with enough height, and quickly pushed the ball horizontally to the left.
The ball’s landing point is near the intersection of the center line on the left side of the center circle and the arc of the center circle.
Sterling quickly turned around and rushed towards the ball.
In West Ham United's defense, Ogbonna was not slow to react and rushed forward quickly.
But he can't start and accelerate as well as Sterling.
Seeing that Sterling was likely to touch the ball immediately, he quickly gave up his original plan and blocked his position to prevent Sterling from passing the ball in an instant.
Sterling had no choice but to kick the ball back as soon as he touched the ball.
Outside the arc of the center circle on the left side of Manchester City's half, Chu Zheng discovered that Sterling's return kick was too powerful and the ball flew behind him. He quickly turned around to chase the ball.
At the same time, Ogbonna, Kouyate, and Lanzini, who were coming up from behind Chu Zheng, formed a triangle and surrounded Chu Zheng.
But before the three men surrounded Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng did something amazing.
In front of everyone, Chu Zheng turned around and took two steps to catch up, then suddenly jumped forward, put his body horizontally in the air, stretched out his left foot and hooked the ball, and the ball turned around and flew towards Sterling.
Chu Zheng's amazing kick once again stunned everyone. Even Guardiola was stunned. He never expected that Chu Zheng would pass the ball in this way.
Sterling was stunned for a moment when he saw the ball coming back from the arc of the center circle. After reacting, he quickly knocked the ball horizontally to De Bruyne on the left, then turned around and prepared to drill into the gap where Ogbonna left.
But Aguero was faster than him and had already reached the gap in advance.
Sterling slowed down after discovering it and stayed on De Bruyne's right side to provide support.
Before De Bruyne could run far with the ball, Noble, Masuacu and Kouyate, who were behind him on the left and right, quickly surrounded him.
Just as he was about to be entangled, at this moment, De Bruyne saw Aguero in the middle suddenly turn to the left rib at the top of the arc, so he quickly kicked off and passed the ball straight.
The ball was stuffed very beautifully and the timing was very precise. Chu Zheng's offensive plan was not wasted.
At the intersection of the penalty area line and the left side of the penalty arc, Aguero got the ball, slowed down at the same time, flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, and turned slightly to the right with the intention of rushing inside.
But after Aguero finished this action, he quickly turned to the left. At the same time, he led the inside of his right foot, suddenly accelerated, and he led the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Winston Reid was thrown around by Aguero and wanted to keep up, but his body did not allow it. He took two steps inside and then stumbled and slipped.
Outside the upper left corner of the small penalty area, Aguero followed up and raised his foot to blast the ball directly into the near corner.
There was a loud bang, and the ball hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced out of the baseline.
"Oh, Aguero missed the opportunity to kill the suspense of the game!" Zhan Jun lamented.
"Aguero is a natural shooter. All his movements are in preparation for the next shot..."
On the sidelines, Guardiola also turned around and threw his hands away in frustration.
Chu Zheng and De Bruyne have done their best.
Chu Zheng immediately increased the attack speed, but De Bruyne did not let the speed slow down and sent a wonderful pass, but it just couldn't go in, which was frustrating.
After this attack, West Ham United's offensive was gradually suppressed by Manchester City.
