"In the first half, in the first 30 minutes, the Celtics did a pretty good job of pressing in the frontcourt. Rogers put up to five players in the frontcourt to press. These players did a good job of cutting off Manchester City's two players.
The connection between the centre-backs and the full-backs and the defensive midfielders.”
"The distance between the three lines of his overall formation is also very good, and he always moves forward and backward within a range of 40 meters. This tactical strategy allows them to frequently steal the ball from Manchester City players in the midfield and frontcourt, and gain
Plenty of counterattack opportunities."
"Yes, we can see that the possession rate of the two sides in the first half was evenly divided, with Manchester City's 49% and Celtic's 51%.
"This data is very rare for Manchester City games. In most of Manchester City's previous games, their ball possession rate was above 60%."
"But we can also see from the 8-13 shot count that 7 of the Celtics' 8 shots were completed in the first 30 minutes of the first half."
"At the end of the first half, especially after Chu Zheng scored the second goal, Manchester City gradually took control of the situation and took the initiative."
"Yes, in the last 15 minutes of the first half, the Celtics' offense, especially the counterattack, was a bit difficult to organize. Not only were the breakthroughs on the wing not as sharp as in the first 30 minutes, but the midfield was also blocked by Chu Zheng and Feier.
Nannandinho steals the ball frequently."
Amid the discussion between Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun, referee Rizzoli blew the whistle to start the second half.
Neither Celtic nor Manchester City made substitutions during halftime.
As for the layout and improvement of tactical strategies, no changes can be seen for the time being.
Just as people were silently observing whether the two teams had any changes in tactics, the goal came again, and it came with no psychological preparation.
In the 46th minute of the game, the Celtics got a sideline ball outside the penalty area on the left side of the frontcourt.
Tierney waited for Neil Beaton to come to the wing before throwing the ball away.
Seeing Neil Beaton taking the ball, Aguero quickly came over, but did not rush to grab it. Instead, he prepared to block Neil Beaton on the sideline and wait for David in front of Neil Beaton.
·Silva came over to fight together.
As a result, when Neil Beaton was slowly dribbling the ball forward, at the moment when David Silva grabbed the ball, he moved the inside of his right foot, then pushed forward with the inside of his left foot, and passed by easily.
David Silva.
Seeing David Silva being breached, Sterling quickly stepped forward.
As a result, Sterling was also tricked by Neil Beaton.
Neil Beaton's center of gravity tilted to the right, and it looked like he was going to lead inside. However, after leaning over to deceive Sterling's center of gravity, he tilted his body to the right, poked forward with his left foot, and the ball
Roll forward at Sterling's feet.
Sterling quickly turned around and chased back, seeing Tierney on the sideline. Zabaleta was also on Sterling's right.
At the same time, David Silva also quickly came to the upper left corner of the penalty area to fill in the defensive area.
Manchester City's defense was quite solid this time, and the only way left for Celtic was to force a cross.
There was no other way, even the backward pass or return line was blocked by Aguero.
However, the next second, more than one meter away from the left corner flagpole, Tierney made a direct pass with his left foot before Sterling could get close to him.
At this time, in the middle of Manchester City's penalty area, Moussa Dembele was on the left side of the penalty spot.
On the right side of the penalty spot is Forest, just two players.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has five players, each standing in different key defensive areas.
At the front of the small penalty area on the left, Kolarov was on the path of Tierney's cross.
Facing this half-high ball, Kolarov raised his right foot and tried to make a clearance.
But compared with Manchester United's Valencia's left foot, his right foot is only half as good and both are disabled.
The ball was clearly close at hand, but Kolarov missed it. The ball rubbed his raised right foot and leaked from his crotch to the center.
Near the penalty spot, Moussa Dembele, who was facing the right side of Manchester City and facing the goal, saw the ball bounce to his left back. He quickly turned his back to the goal, raised his left knee, and directly raised the ball.
, and then the body leans back, directly forming a barb with a somewhat stiff posture.
The next second, the ball flew into Manchester City's goal from the upper left corner of the goal.
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
At the moment of the goal, Celtic Park suddenly erupted again like a volcano that had accumulated for thousands of years. The deafening cheers of the fans were like the hot lava, sweeping every corner of the venue.
In the stands where the Manchester City fans were, countless Manchester City fans also looked confused.
How did this ball miss?!
This can actually be missed?
Wait, all the question marks were written on the faces of the speechless Manchester City fans.
It’s so weird!
Three fatal mistakes!
It is not easy to appear even in low-level professional leagues.
But in the end, Manchester City did it, which is simply amazing.
“Goal!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Goal!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!"
“Incredible!”
"incredible!"
"Just one minute into the second half, the Celtics got off to a perfect start again!"
"3-2, Moussa Dembélé, he played crazy today!"
"Facing the ball missed by Kolarov, Moussa Dembélé hit his knee, turned around, hooked and other actions in one go!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun were stunned for half a second when they saw this extremely sudden goal, and then they exclaimed at the same time.
In the top area of the arc, Chu Zheng looked at Kolarov's low-level and amateurish mistake, and he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Chu Zheng really couldn't imagine how Kolarov missed it.
That position was just on the path of the ball, and the ball was heading towards Kolarov. Even if he stood still with his arms folded, the ball would hit him, but he chose to use his foot, which was not his dominant foot.
At this moment, Chu Zheng was very grateful that he had been training his non-dominant foot all these years, otherwise he might have encountered such an embarrassing situation.
On the sidelines, witnessing Moussa Dembélé scoring a ground-breaking goal, Rogers raised his right arm high, then clenched his fist and slashed it downwards, and even roared with excitement!
Behind Rogers, everyone on the Celtics bench jumped up from their seats in celebration.
On the sidelines, Guardiola's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to take up the knife and chase Kolarov.
It’s so stupid! I’ve never seen such a stupid defender.
"What the hell!!"
"What are you doing???"
"FAK!!!!!!!!!"
In front of the goal, Bravo got up from the ground and felt extremely frustrated.
The third time, the third time!
In less than fifty minutes, he was cheated three times by his teammates and scored three goals from the goal. How could this not make Bravo angry?
He also has reason to be angry!
Faced with Bravo's questioning, Otamendi and Kolarov fell into collective silence.
Kolarov looked very ugly and wanted to explain.
But I don't know what to explain.
If he hadn't used his right foot in that position at that time, he wouldn't have had time to clear the ball, and the ball would have hit him directly.
So he had to use his right foot, which he was not good at, to make a save.
As a result, I never expected that I would make such a low-level, even amateur-level mistake.
Looking at Otamendi who looked innocent, Kolarov felt angry because he felt that Otamendi had tricked him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Kolarov, who had been staring at him. Otamendi also felt a little guilty because he wasn't very focused just now.
