Chapter 433 Two passes and one shot! Chu Zheng is in explosive condition!
As Zhang Lu expected, Manchester City and Liverpool played more and more open in the next game.
This season, apart from Manchester City's defense, which is often criticized by the media and fans, Liverpool's defense is not much better, let alone the second brother.
So when two teams meet like this, the game turns into a duel in terms of offensive efficiency.
Whoever has a higher offensive efficiency and shot conversion rate may get 3 points.
On the field, Manchester City and Liverpool had a 50-50 ball possession ratio.
Klopp's tactical strategy today is not just a rush, he also requires players to slow down and control the ball at the appropriate time.
As for Manchester City, Chu Zheng, who was particularly excited today, could almost be said to be running all over the field. He made many steals in the frontcourt in the first half and then launched a second attack in an instant.
Many fans discovered Chu Zheng's anomaly, which also gave these Manchester City fans the confidence to win today.
In the Manchester City team, if you want to find a player who makes fans the most satisfied, it is undoubtedly Chu Zheng.
Now half a season has passed, Chu Zheng's jersey sales at Manchester City have surpassed Aguero and De Bruyne, becoming the number one player in the Manchester City team.
The fans' approval rate for him has also jumped from 45% at the beginning of the season to 95%, and only a few fans are dissatisfied with Chu Zheng.
Coupled with De Bruyne, who has been in high spirits during happy events recently and is in explosive condition, the scene of Manchester City's frontcourt attack can be said to be picturesque.
The only pity is that Aguero's condition is neither high nor low, and his ability to seize opportunities has not returned to the hot state he had at the beginning of the season.
Unfortunately, Chu Zheng started his performance again.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Chu Zheng came to the left side of the frontcourt to move.
After Yaya Toure received the ball from the center in the 30-meter area, he quickly passed it.
Manchester City transfers the attack very quickly, all with one pass.
But after the ball came to Chu Zheng's feet, Chu Zheng saw all the Liverpool players retreating inside and outside the penalty area. He slowly dribbled the ball forward and feinted left and right a few times.
But Klein and Wijnaldum, who were standing on the left and right in front of him, not only blocked the passing line, but their positions were also very good, leaving Chu Zheng without much confidence that he could use his starting speed to rush to the bottom line and pass back in the inverted triangle.
Create a threat in the middle.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Zheng spiked the ball back and then passed it back, directly slowing down the rhythm.
So the ball was passed back from the left half to the right half, and passed back to Bravo through Otamendi on the right side of the backcourt.
On Liverpool's side, the pressure in front of the formation was extremely fast, and they immediately pounced in front of Manchester City's penalty area.
Firmino came up and went straight to Bravo.
Bravo retreated to meet the ball and waited for Otamendi to retreat further along the wing before passing the ball to the right.
Otamendi took the ball in the upper right corner of the penalty area and quickly moved forward before Coutinho rushed forward.
De Bruyne retreated along the right side of Manchester City and immediately picked up the tempo after getting the ball.
Manchester City's continuous passes from right to left narrowly avoided the pressing of Liverpool players, and the ball was transferred back to the left.
Chu Zheng retreated to the left center line to get the ball again.
Turning around, facing Klein who was stuck in front of him, Chu Zheng directly started to lead inside.
A second later, before Chu Zheng had run far, Liverpool's triangular encirclement was quickly formed.
Klein, Wijnaldum, and Henderson stood in a triangle position, surrounding Chu Zheng in the middle, and the three of them followed Chu Zheng and ran towards the ribs.
However, before the three of them could completely compress Chu Zheng's ball-carrying space while moving, Chu Zheng suddenly started a second stage of acceleration and burst through the gap between Henderson and Klein that had not yet been closed.
This scene made Klopp grin from the sidelines.
What kind of midfielder is the most terrifying?
Chu Zheng is the answer!
He can run, he can grab, he can fight, he can get the ball, he can break through, he can deliver all kinds of high and low balls at every opportunity, and he also has an unbreakable will.
You can cut off his passing lane, and he will try to make a personal breakthrough with you.
You can block his breakthrough, and he uses the pass to instantly break through your defense.
Even if you can block all his passing and breakthrough routes, he can still make you spin around on the spot with his excellent and delicate ball-taking skills.
On the field, I saw Sterling running from the ribs to the wing, crossing paths with Chu Zheng. Klein behind Chu Zheng quickly stopped chasing and moved to the wing to watch Sterling.
Henderson and Wijnaldum continued to defend Chu Zheng on the left and right.
When Chu Zheng entered the rib area, Lovren pushed up from the back line.
Attempting to cooperate with Henderson and Wijnaldum to encircle Chu Zheng again.
However, Chu Zheng, who had just slowed down a bit, didn't wait for him to get closer. Suddenly, the ball accelerated again, from a diagonal to a horizontal dribble, and suddenly passed in front of Lovren.
"oh!!!!!!!!!!!"
"oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the stands, seeing Chu Zheng's continuous breakthroughs, the cheers of the Manchester City fans became louder and louder! It was almost drowning out the boos of the home Liverpool fans.
At the top of the arc in the middle, behind Klavan, Aguero saw Chu Zheng hook the middle-aged Lovren on the bicycle, and he quickly started running towards the gap in the Liverpool defense created by Lovren's departure.
So at the same time, after Chu Zheng came to the middle, Emrejan also rushed towards him.
The next second, Chu Zheng slowed down slightly, turned left, and faced the top area of the arc.
As soon as he turned around, Chu Zheng tapped the inside of his right foot, and the ball went straight to the gap in Liverpool's defense.
In the left rib area at the top of the arc, Klein realized the danger, but he was too late to completely block the gap.
The next second, the ball was stuffed into the penalty area from the left side of Aguero.
Klein took action directly in front of the penalty area, but even though he was willing to commit a yellow card foul, he still failed to hold Aguero.
In the left rib area of the penalty area, after Aguero caught up with the ball, he raised his left foot and hit it without any hesitation.
Klavan, who moved inside from the right side of Aguero to block the ball, fell to the ground and slid to block it, but it was already too late.
The next second, the ball passed the fingertips of Karius, who was diving sideways, and penetrated into Liverpool's goal again from the lower corner of the far side goal.
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In an instant, Ittihad was detonated again!
Nearly 50,000 Manchester City fans cheered in the stands!
"Big Sky Wing Aguero!!!"
"A kick with an almost perfect angle!!!"
"Goal drought!!!!!!!!!!"
Hearing Zhan Jun's excited voice, Zhang Lu smiled and said: "Perfect pass and run!"
"Chu Zheng's rush attracted all the defensive forces of Liverpool. Aguero found the right moment and started to advance forward, forming an almost perfect passing and running understanding with Chu Zheng."
"Chu Zheng didn't mean to take this ball all the way to the penalty area and hit the goal. From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to give it to Aguero!"
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "This is one of Chu Zheng's many advantages. He has the ability to surpass others with the ball, but he is not alone. He has a top-notch sense of cooperation and rarely shows off his personal skills. As long as his teammates
If it runs away, the ball will definitely pass if there is a chance."
On the sidelines, Guardiola is very happy!
But Klopp is sad!
He couldn't scold Lovren for this goal.
Lovren is fulfilling his duty by going up to the top.
Klopp saw it clearly. Before Lovren stepped up, he specifically looked back at the wing.
People only took the position after seeing Klein in his position.
As a result, Klein, who moved in to make up for the position, failed to block it in time. In addition, the big wooden Klavan who was stationed at the top of the arc did not move laterally to cooperate with Klein to tighten the hole immediately.
Aguero got it right.
Looking at the Manchester City players celebrating on the field, Klopp felt helpless. This terrible defense was really tormenting.
Soon, Liverpool kicked the ball out again.
Chu Zheng found that after scoring the second goal, the team's morale was even higher. Taking advantage of a throw-in, he and De Bruyne had a head-to-head encounter.
Then the pace of Manchester City's game was picked up again.
So the balance of the game began to tilt towards Manchester City.
Through Chu Zheng and De Bruyne, two nuclear players in the midfield, Manchester City immediately suppressed Liverpool in the half and continued to attack.
In the 28th minute of the game, Chu Zheng took the ball from the left rib of the arc in the front court, once again attracting Liverpool defenders to attack.
But Chu Zheng relied on his flexibility to control the ball with his feet, dunk or flick, and continuously avoided Mane and Wijnaldum's advances.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Chu Zheng kicked his heel back and made another blind pass.
The ball was passed to the left by Chu Zheng.
Kolarov then inserted the ball without stopping and passed directly.
At this time, the back of Liverpool's penalty area was empty.
Sterling in the right rib area at the top of the arc reached the landing point in time.
Although Milner was not slow, his take-off was half a beat slower than Sterling's, and he watched as Sterling rushed to the top of the ball.
But with tens of thousands of Liverpool fans booing wildly, Sterling hit the ball into the stands, which triggered even more violent boos and jeers.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Guardiola also regretted letting Sterling start under such pressure at this moment. He was wondering whether Sterling should be replaced in the second half.
From the beginning to now, Sterling's performance is not that invisible, not that serious, but it can be seen that he has indeed been affected.
But Guardiola hopes that Sterling can withstand this pressure and learn more from Chu Zheng.
Guardiola had a smile on his face when he thought of Chu Zheng being indifferent to the boos from nearly 100,000 Barcelona fans at Camp Nou, but instead getting more and more excited.
Chu Zheng's ability to withstand pressure was something that even he couldn't achieve as a player.
Looking at today's football world, there are only a handful of players with a big heart like Chu Zheng.
On the field, Manchester City's offensive continues.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Manchester City went on the right side of the half.
After receiving the ball in the backcourt, Zabaleta drove the ball all the way to the right side of the center circle, and then passed it diagonally to the left and followed Yaya Toure in the ribs.
The moment he stopped the ball, Emrezhen blocked him directly, and Emrezhen quickly knocked across the ball.
As a result, Firmino, who retreated between Yaya Toure and Zabaleta, suddenly accelerated, successfully intercepted, and took the ball across the center line back to his own half.
As a result, just after crossing the midline, Sterling moved laterally from the ribs.
Firmino's attention was a little distracted, and he continued to pass back to the wing in front of him, trying to pass to Milner on the back line.
As a result, he didn't notice that De Bruyne, who was also on the wing in front of Milner, had started.
The next second, the ball was taken away by De Bruyne in an instant, starting from the wing and going straight to the top of the central arc.
At this time, there was another huge gap between Lovren, who was guarding Aguero in the middle, and Klavan, who was in the ribs.
But this time Klavan learned his lesson, quickly turned around, and then adjusted his position, not moving inward toward Lovren immediately.
This guy has his merits in being valued by Klopp.
He moved slowly to the right with a crab step, firmly blocking De Bruyne's route behind him in the right rib area at the top of the arc.
De Bruyne was also decisive. Seeing that he could not pass the ball through to Aguero, he accelerated again and broke into the middle.
This decision immediately put Klavan on the spot.
By the time Klavan completed his turn to the right, De Bruyne had already forced his way past and left him behind on the right side.
At this time, Lovren had been brought to the right rib area at the top of the arc by Aguero.
At the front of the left rib area at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng was already in place, leaving Klein once again faced with a dilemma.
Soon, Klein gave up on Chu Zheng and moved inside the top of the arc, preparing to block De Bruyne.
De Bruyne brought the ball to the penalty arc. At this time, Firmino and Henderson on the left and right behind him were already catching up.
But De Bruyne still didn't play the ball.
Because Klein was stuck on the midline, cutting off his through line to Chu Zheng in the left rib area at the top of the arc.
"Kevin!!!!"
Just when De Bruyne hesitated, he suddenly heard Chu Zheng's roar.
Seeing Chu Zheng pointing at his feet, he pushed the ball to Chu Zheng's feet in time just before Henderson hit him from the right.
On the penalty area line at the top of the arc, Klein quickly turned to the right, only to see Chu Zheng lead the ball forward three meters away without stopping, and then ejected. The speed of the start made Klein feel desperate.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng, who was unguarded, caught up with the ball on the left sideline of the small penalty area.
Facing Karius who was near the goal post, Chu Zheng followed up and passed the ball low and cross with his left foot without stopping.
From behind, there was no one around Aguero to defend him.
At this time, Liverpool's shoddy engineering-level defense was completely turned into a pot of porridge by De Bruyne.
Coupled with Chu Zheng's visually impactful lead breakthrough, all Liverpool players were attracted to Chu Zheng's side, and no one noticed that Aguero had slipped behind and started to catch up.
Facing Chu Zheng's early crossing, Aguero followed up and raised his right foot, rubbing the inside of his foot. The ball hit the near corner and entered the Liverpool goal for the third time. The net trembled after hitting the goal.
!
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The moment the goal was scored, more than 5,000 Manchester City fans who came to Anfield with the team cheered collectively. They could already smell the victory!
Liverpool fans in other stands were wailing, and countless Liverpool fans in the KOP stands were so angry that they jumped to their feet.
"Farke!! This damn defense!"
“What the hell!!!!”
"These bastards are doing such a good job, they didn't even notice that Aguero was behind!!!! Damn it!"
"..."
The KOP stand is the stand for die-hard Liverpool fans and is only a platform.
But at this moment, this group of die-hard Liverpool fans were shouting curses, and they were all kicked out. All kinds of vicious curses came one after another.
Because Manchester City's goal could almost be said to have been passed in, which made them feel as if someone had slapped them hard on the face, and the pain was heartbreaking.
On the sidelines, Klopp bared his big white teeth again, and this guy was smiling again.
Next to him, Guardiola also stopped celebrating. He just waved his fist and stopped celebrating.
After all, it was an away game, and there were Liverpool fans behind him, so he had to stop it. He didn't want another olive pit to hit his bare braised egg, which would be quite painful.
After watching the replay of the goal in the LeTV Sports Live Room, Zhang Lu exclaimed: "Chu Zheng took the ball so beautifully. From the moment he took the ball out, he didn't think about hitting the goal himself, but stared at it.
Aguero's goal was very clear."
"Yes! Aguero scored twice today! His condition is getting better and better!"
"Chu Zheng is in great shape today. This is his 16th assist this season. He also had two passes and one shot today!"
