Chapter 449 Forced one-on-one understanding!
In the 46th minute of the game, the ball was pushed back and forth in the air at the front of the 30-meter area of Manchester City's half.
Wanyama and Dembélé flanked Sterling on Manchester City's right rib and pushed the ball to the wing, trying to pass it to Danny Rose, who was trailing behind on the wing.
But this time Danny Rose didn't come up.
Zabaleta quickly rushed to the wing and saw that there was only one Alderweireld next to Aguero on the penalty arc in the middle of the frontcourt. He rushed to the sideline without stopping the ball and directly hit Spurs with a long pass.
back.
The ball took off from Manchester City's right wing and then turned in an arc and fell to the center. The ball landed on the ribs of the thirty-meter area.
In the middle, Aguero and Alderweireld started chasing the ball at the same time.
Aguero starts very quickly.
But Alderweireld was very alert and defended very smartly, not allowing Aguero on the left to squeeze from in front of him to the right.
The two were on the right front, and the ball continued to bounce toward the center after it landed.
In an instant, Aguero, who was half a length ahead of Alderweireld, got the ball at the top of the arc in the middle.
Alderweireld took advantage of Aguero's deceleration and quickly rushed in front of him, turned around and took a back step to defend.
Seeing Alderweireld positioned in front of him, Aguero seemed a little lack of confidence and headed the ball directly to the front left.
Alderweireld follows up laterally.
In the blink of an eye, Aguero was forced by Alderweireld to the upper left corner of the small penalty area, and the shooting angle was almost gone.
But Aguero still relied on his own ability to complete the shot.
The ball went straight to the near corner of the goal.
But Lowry is not Bravo.
Although Aguero shot on target, the near corner of the goal was completely blocked by Lloris.
Lori fell directly to the right in front of the goal post and blocked the ball directly from the baseline with both hands.
At this moment, referee Marina looked at his watch and blew the whistle to end the first half.
As soon as the camera returned to the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun smiled and said: "Drink the strongest wine and play the wildest football."
"Facing Tottenham, which has always been known as a 'wild player', Guardiola's strategy in this game was to change the gentleman's football that penetrated and controlled the game in the past. Today he also played wild football with Pochettino."
"Sane and Sterling are flying together on both wings, and the single defensive midfielder Yaya Toure does not play B2B like before, but sits firmly in the back and strategizes, acting as a barrier in the middle of the team.
The zero-second acceleration attacks created by Chu Zheng and De Bruyne in turn also caught Tottenham off guard. Tottenham's defense team made many mistakes throughout the first half, and they all relied on Lori to save their lives!"
"So Zhang Zhi, what is your evaluation of Manchester City in the first half?" Zhan Jun looked at Zhang Lu with a smile.
"Uh!" Zhang Lu chuckled, "Whether it's from a situational or tactical perspective, Manchester City can be said to have won completely in the first half."
"Tottenham were beaten by Manchester City and rushed to attack. They completed a shot in the first half, but it was not on target. It can be said to be a complete defeat."
"Even if Pochettino temporarily changed the formation and switched to a back four, it still didn't have much effect. The midfield was still suppressed, and Alderweireld and Wimmer on the back line still made mistakes one after another.
"
"The only bad thing about Manchester City today is the same old problem."
"It's just a matter of low offensive efficiency. Sterling and Aguero took turns squandering opportunities."
"Indeed, in the first half, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne each created several excellent scoring opportunities for Manchester City."
"Yeah!" Zhang Lu nodded, "The key to a football match depends on your offense and your scoring efficiency. In this way, the defense will not be so strenuous."
"Yes, I think Guardiola has also discovered the problem of Manchester City's current low offensive efficiency.
That's why he put Jesus, who had just joined the team, on the substitute list. Perhaps this was a warning to Aguero or all the Manchester City forwards."
"Recently, Manchester City can be said to have entered a strange circle. Even if Chu Zheng and De Bruyne send scalpel-like passes time and time again to create murderous opportunities, Sterling and Aguero can't even eat the cake now.
good."
"In past games, whether they win or lose, Manchester City has been able to maintain its advantage in passing and control.
However, meeting Guardiola's requirements in terms of data does not mean that they will eventually win the game."
"In fact, in some of Manchester City's more classic defeats this season, they were able to stay on top of the field and even have a certain advantage.
In terms of creating opportunities, Manchester City with Chu Zheng and De Bruyne is definitely the only one in the Premier League and even the five major leagues, but they are lagging behind in seizing opportunities," Zhang Lu said again.
As the two of them talked and laughed, the fifteen-minute intermission passed in a blink of an eye.
As soon as the players from both sides stepped onto the court, the fourth official on the sidelines directly raised the substitution sign.
No. 7 Son Heung-min replaces No. 27 Wimmer.
Looking at Son Heung-min in the camera, Zhan Jun grinned and said: "Sun Heung-min hasn't started for a while. When Pochettino played in a four-back system, Son Heung-min started every game and performed well.
Tottenham's switch to a three-centre-back system will inevitably require one less player in the frontcourt, so Son Heung-min became Tottenham's only victim."
"This should be a change of formation. Um, adding one more player in the frontcourt may mean we have to change to 4231."
Soon, the game started, and just as Zhang Lu said, Pochettino indeed changed his formation again.
The Tottenham players on the field have a very clear position in the 4231 formation.
Dier, who was pushed out by Pochettino in the second half of the first half, returned to the defense and partnered with Alderweireld at center back.
Wanyama and Dembélé partnered as a defensive midfielder.
Behind Harry Kane in the frontcourt, from left to right are Son Heung-min, Eriksen and Alli.
As for Manchester City, there are no personnel changes, the formation has not changed, the same is true for the tactical strategy, and there is no need to change.
For Guardiola, apart from the low offensive efficiency of the team in the first half, there was nothing else that needed to be adjusted.
As for Pochettino's change of formation, Guardiola doesn't care too much.
If Tottenham had Modric and Kroos in the defensive midfield position, or Busquets and Rakitic, he would still be a little more wary.
As for Wanyama and Dembele, it’s not that Guardiola is arrogant, but that these two are actually more than one level behind Chu Zheng, Yaya Toure and De Bruyne.
In the midfield, no one is afraid of Guardiola with Chu Zheng.
Guardiola believes that in the second half, the midfielder, led by the super commander Chu Zheng, can still suppress Tottenham's midfielder.
On Tottenham's side, Pochettino sat on the coach's bench, looking at the players on the field with burning eyes, hoping to see the effect of the adjustment.
However, he saw the second goal conceded.
In the 49th minute of the game, Lori directly passed Danny Rose's back pass to the midfield in the backcourt.
The landing point was in the left rib area of Tottenham's half-court circle.
Son Heung-min rushed to the landing point before Zabaleta, and took the ball to Wanyama who was three meters in front of him.
Wanyama stopped the ball with his chest, then quickly took a step forward to the right, before Chu Zheng and Zabaleta came over, stretched out his feet and pushed the ball behind them.
Son Heung-min started quickly after receiving the ball and moved to the wing.
But as soon as he crossed the center line, Yaya Toure on the ribs stuck to him from the right, and then Otamendi in front of Son Heung-min ran across to the wing and made a sliding tackle, leaving the ball at his feet.
After Otamendi got up, he quickly pushed the ball to Chu Zheng who was chasing back from the left front along the wing.
Chu Zheng took the ball and turned around quickly, and saw Tottenham's defense reaching the arc of the center circle. Sane in the center circle had already started in advance, and he took a shot directly from the spot.
Bang! It was a direct long pass.
"Precision guidance!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed in unison in the live broadcast room.
In the live broadcast footage, Chu Zheng's long pass was neither fast nor slow, and after reaching the middle of the road, it flew over Sane's head.
The next second, at the top of the center arc, about 212 meters away from the fans, the ball landed accurately in front of Sane, as if he had eyes.
How accurate is Chu Zheng’s shot?
It was so accurate that Sane didn't even need to slow down, he rushed to the ball and directly used the instep of his right foot to cushion the ball that was about to touch the ground.
To the left and right of Sane, Ben Davis and Dier were chasing after him with gritted teeth, but they couldn't keep up and could only watch as Sane shot the ball over the top.
Before the penalty kick, Lori was numb when he attacked.
In Lori's judgment, the ball will hit the ground first. He has even found the point where the ball will hit the ground and rebound, and he is ready to leave the penalty area and dive directly to the top to clear the ball.
As a result, Lori didn't expect Sane to handle it this way, and he handled it so perfectly.
In the stands, countless Manchester City fans leaned forward and waited for the goal to be scored.
On the field, after passing by Lori on the left, Sane caught up with the ball again and pushed the ball into the goal with a crisp kick.
"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Suddenly Etihad was shocked again!
"The ball is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Chu Zheng's 18th Premier League assist this season!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were excited again when they saw Chu Zheng's fatal long pass. The pass was so beautiful.
On the sidelines, Jesus, Caballero, Nolito and others on the bench also high-fived each other in celebration.
In front of the bench, Guardiola smiled brightly and waved his fists.
Next to him, the brilliance and expectation in Pochettino's eyes have faded, replaced by solemnity.
Trailing 0-2, this game is difficult to play.
Pochettino was disappointed but also a little angry. This goal was caused by a series of defensive problems.
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu have already started analyzing the slow-motion playback.
"Look, the moment Manchester City regained the ball on the wing, Sane's side had already started in advance and signaled to pass forward."
"Yeah! Really smart." Zhan Jun nodded, "Tottenham's defense is too far forward. For a speedy winger like Sane, if you give him such a large deep space, once he rushes you
I can't hold it back."
"The key is that Chu Zheng passed the ball so beautifully that Sane didn't have to adjust at all to catch it. He just dodged Lori's attack with just one touch."
Zhang Lu nodded and continued: "Tottenham's side is actually still a problem with the defense. Ben Davis wanted to step forward to participate in the attack, so his position was more to the right and forward, resulting in a gap between him and Dell who was standing parallel to each other.
There was a huge gap."
"Yes! Pochettino has a certain amount of responsibility." Zhan Jun nodded and answered, "It is precisely because this midfield substitution changed the characteristics of Tottenham's defense. Ben Davis was not taken back at all.
If you run behind and can't catch up, I guess it's because you haven't switched from the defensive thinking of three central defenders or five defenders."
"Lori's attack is also debatable, and it feels a bit reckless."
"If he doesn't come out, then Sane will choose to stop the ball."
"The speed has to be slowed down at this stop, and then the opportunity will come for Alderweireld and Ben Davis. Maybe they can steal the ball or interfere with Sane."
"Yes!"
On the court, he received another assist. Chu Zheng was very happy. He finally had someone who was reliable.
But Chu Zheng felt that 2-0 was not safe enough, because he had been psychologically affected by his own defense.
Therefore, Chu Zheng planned to enter Tao Insurance again, that is, to get another one.
Preferably 4-0 or 5-0.
There was no way, I was afraid of being cheated, and even 3-0 Chu Zheng felt it was not safe enough.
What if Bravo triggers the death debuff immediately after being shot.
Chu Zheng felt that he could remember that Everton match forever.
It's so weird, every kick has its own kick, and he really can't tell whether Bravo is too weak or Everton's players are too strong.
The game will soon resume.
But two or three minutes later, Chu Zheng discovered that something was wrong with Tottenham, and there was a problem with the players' mentality.
On the sidelines, Pochettino, who had been observing the team closely, also discovered the problem and immediately became nervous.
Tottenham are the team with the lowest average age in the Premier League.
In the past two seasons, it is precisely because of this youthful storm that has just begun that Pochettino has achieved amazing results.
However, the disadvantages of a team that is too young are that it is not stable enough, has weak ability to withstand pressure, and is not strong enough in mental attributes.
If the kick goes smoothly, everything will be fine and the opponent can be slaughtered directly.
But once they encounter the current situation of absolute adversity, these young players may become confused and collapse on their own.
Pochettino was a little anxious for a while, but he didn't know how to adjust. Tottenham didn't have a commander-in-chief like Chu Zheng on the court.
Soon, Pochettino's ominous premonition came true.
Five minutes later, in the 54th minute of the game, Eriksen was brought down by Clichy and Sane on the left side of Manchester City's half-time circle, and referee Marriner blew the whistle directly.
Eriksen quickly got up, bent down to place the ball, and without even straightening up, he kicked the ball out to the frontcourt.
But he was too anxious, causing the ball to deflect and kick the ball directly to Kolarov who was retreating inside to guard Kane on the wing.
Kolarov immediately turned around to stop the ball, and then passed Kane with his left foot to the right before grabbing the ball behind him.
Seeing Kane rushing past Kolarov, Yaya Toure passed the ball forward to Chu Zheng in the left rib area of the center circle, who was on the wing.
Eriksen quickly grabbed the ball from behind Chu Zheng.
But as soon as someone else ran up to him, Chu Zheng kicked the outside of his right foot, and the ball was sent laterally to the wing. Then Chu Zheng quickly turned around and pushed forward along the ribs.
Clichy followed up to get the ball, saw Sane in front of him retreating to catch the ball, and passed the ball without saying a word.
The moment Sane received the ball with his back from the wing, Chu Zheng crossed the center line, entered the ribs of Tottenham's half, and stood parallel to Sane.
Seeing Chu Zheng in place, Sane quickly pushed the ball in front of Chu Zheng with his right foot, then turned and pushed forward.
Chu Zheng knew Sane's intention very well, so he kept pushing the ball back to the wing.
In the blink of an eye, Ben Davis behind Sane was once again killed by this simple one-two.
After taking the ball, Sane quickly ran inside and got Ben Davis stuck behind him.
But Alderweireld quickly positioned himself in front of the upper left corner of the penalty area and directly blocked Sane outside the penalty area, forcing Manchester City's attack to slow down.
As soon as Sane saw that there was no chance of a strong breakthrough, he slowed down and slowly moved the ball with his right foot into the left rib area at the top of the arc.
Although Alderweireld retreated again and again, he never let Sane move away from his position.
Sane was helpless. When he saw Chu Zheng coming up, he directly pushed the ball across.
At this time, there were four Tottenham players in front of Chu Zheng, and they were waiting for him.
Chu Zheng glanced at Sane, who was standing in the upper left corner of the penalty area after passing the ball, and Ben Davis between them, and he found that he could not distribute the ball.
As long as he dares to score, Ben Davis can intercept it by stretching his foot forward.
Just when Chu Zheng was about to pass the ball back to reorganize the attack, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
Seeing that Ben Davis was a little far away from Alderweireld in front of him, Chu Zheng suddenly had an idea.
So the next second, in full view of everyone, Chu Zheng suddenly kicked the ball forward to the right with his right foot, directly hitting the right waist of Dell, who was facing Chu Zheng and standing sideways on the right front.
Immediately afterwards, the ball bounced into Tottenham's penalty area, as if someone had passed through Chu Zheng.
The next second, Chu Zheng exploded on the spot, his ejection accelerated, and he directly passed by Alderweireld.
"this……"
"This, this..."
For a time, countless people were dumbfounded by Chu Zheng's show, and countless commentators did not know how to explain Chu Zheng's unconstrained move.
"Fuck!!!!!!"
"Nima!!!!!!!"
"Can you still play like this?!!!!!!"
“It’s really an eye-opener!!!!”
"Is this even okay?!!!!!!"
"The God of Chu is mighty!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, when I saw Chu Zheng forcing a one-two, the barrage exploded instantly.
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect Chu Zheng to play like this?
At the scene, after Chu Zheng entered the penalty area, he successfully got the ball that bounced in.
Facing Lori, Chu Zheng didn't hesitate at all. He raised his right foot and shot directly.
In front of the goal, Lori had no time to react. He only felt the strong wind passing by his left ear, and he heard the trembling sound of the ball entering the net!
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"what a goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
“what a goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Under the leadership of Etihad's live DJ, Manchester City fans in the stands on all sides were jumping and cheering like crazy, creating waves of cheers!
On the sidelines, Guardiola knelt down to celebrate!
Before Chu Zheng played tricks, Guardiola used himself to save others, thinking that Chu Zheng had the only option to pass the ball back, but Chu Zheng slapped him in the face with actual actions.
What a genius!
That’s it!
Next to him, Pochettino was also dumbfounded and was filled with shock.
In the stands, Kyle Walker saw the team losing goals continuously. He felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time he also made a decision in his heart.
On the court, Chu Zheng was overwhelmed by his teammates, and all Manchester City players gathered in a group to celebrate.
Next to him, Tottenham players looked frustrated.
Especially Dell, who assisted Chu Zheng, looked dazed.
Dell looked down at his right waist. He was curious about how Chu Zheng could calculate so accurately. This kind of ability to control the ball was terrifying.
"Chu Zheng has scored his 17th Premier League goal this season. The league has just passed halfway. Chu Zheng is now leading the Premier League scorer list and assists list. If this super high goal assist efficiency continues to develop, Chu Zheng is likely to break it himself this season.
