Chapter 451 Chapter 116: The Regent is coming!
But at this moment, something happened on Tottenham's side.
Alderweireld fell to the ground without the ball, clutching the muscles on the back of his right thigh, then sat on the lawn and raised his hands to make a substitution.
When Pochettino saw that Alderweireld could not persist in the game, his heart fell to the bottom, and his defensive team was completely finished.
In the blink of an eye, Pochettino replaced him with Winks and was forced to make adjustments again.
"Winks comes on, then Wanyama will probably have to return to the defense to partner with Dier!"
"As a result, Tottenham's defense team can be said to be completely offline. Dell and Wanyama may not be able to withstand Manchester City's luxurious frontcourt attack group!"
However, the next game was beyond the expectations of Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu and everyone.
Winks' appearance was not just a substitution. This guy brought new tactical instructions to other Tottenham players, which was to press the attack at all costs.
Anyway, they have already lost three, and Pochettino doesn't mind conceding two more.
Under the command of Guardiola from the sidelines, Manchester City's crazy high-pressing tactics continued to decline in intensity, and the forward-pressing formation also retreated to half-court defense.
In Guardiola's view, although a 3-goal lead is not safe enough, it is almost enough.
This is not the Champions League final or the last round of the Premier League. They still have a series of games to play.
Therefore, it is a good choice to retreat to the half court to consume time and save energy to prepare for the next game.
So when the enemy retreated and we advanced, Tottenham pounced on them, like a hungry and cold wolf, madly biting Manchester City.
In the 68th minute of the game, Tottenham moved it to the right outside the Manchester City penalty area, but was blocked by Chu Zheng, De Bruyne and other five players.
The ball continued to pass back to the midfield along Tottenham's left wing, and then moved to the center.
On the arc of the center circle on the right, Wanyama received a cross from Dell on the left.
Facing Sane who was rushing up the ribs, Wanyama suddenly made a direct pass to the left more than ten meters away from the ground. He directly penetrated the Manchester City midfield defense and found the Manchester City midfielder in the left rib area thirty meters away.
And Ali between the two lines of defense.
Ali took the ball and turned to face the penalty area. Otamendi grabbed the ball, causing Manchester City to retreat to the front of the penalty area and a gap appeared in the ribs of the defense.
Facing Otamendi's attack, Alli turned sideways to stop the ball with his right foot, then released the ball with his left foot. His movements were extremely coherent and he kicked the ball to Kane at the top of the arc in the middle.
But Kane's ball failed to stop.
Chu Zheng just rushed back to him, fell down and shoveled the ball to the right wing.
Outside the upper right corner of the penalty area, Ben Davis quickly arrived and passed the ball directly without stopping.
In the middle, on the end line of the small penalty area, Ali got out between Zabaleta and Otamendi, rose into the air, and neatly hammered the ball in from the left side of the goal.
"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed in LeTV's live broadcast room one after another!
"Dele Alli, 11th Premier League goal this season!"
"here we go again!"
"here we go again!"
"This is Tottenham's first shot on target in this game, and the ball went in!!" Zhan Jun's words were full of meaning.
"Haha!" Of course Zhang Lu knew where Zhan Jun's words were aimed, and she was immediately overjoyed.
On the sidelines, Guardiola looked at Bravo, who was raising his hand to signal Alli for offside in front of the goal, with disappointment in his eyes.
Although the ball was a bit close, Bravo was in the path of Ali's hammer. As a result, Bravo made the save but missed it again.
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"..."
Seeing the team lose the ball, the collective mentality of Manchester City fans exploded, and the stands suddenly rang out one after another with uniform curses.
As more and more Manchester City fans responded, the chants of 'fuck off Bravo' resounded throughout the Etihad Stadium, deafening.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was sitting on the coach's bench indifferently, his eyes were a little empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Bravo, who was targeted on the field, instantly turned pale.
Chu Zheng, De Bruyne and others all looked at each other.
Facing the cheers from the fans and looking at Bravo's somewhat distracted expression, Chu Zheng couldn't bear it.
In the LeTV live broadcast room, after domestic fans heard the voices of the Manchester City fans at the scene, the barrage also showed "fuck off Bravo", which made Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu a little dumbfounded.
Bravo is guilty of public outrage.
Seeing Bravo being slapped in the face by the camera, Zhang Lu couldn't bear it and smiled: "Actually, Bravo cannot be entirely blamed for this goal."
"The position where Ali received the ball just now should actually be the responsibility of Yaya Toure, but he did not get there in time, so Otamendi had to step out."
"This gives Kane a gap to run!"
"But luckily Kane didn't stop the ball properly, allowing Chu Zheng to clear the ball to the wing, temporarily resolving the crisis."
As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast camera happened to choose a far-angle shot to replay the entire process of Tottenham's goal.
So Zhang Lu spoke faster and said: "But at this time, Manchester City has a new problem and a new crisis."
"Look at the two wingers of Manchester City, Danny Rose on the right and Ben Davis on the left. After these two men, Manchester City has no one to watch them."
"Looking at Ali again, he was inserted all the way from the top of the arc, and there was still no one watching over him."
"Yes!" Zhan Jun understood, "So Bravo cannot be entirely blamed for this goal. There is actually something wrong with Manchester City's overall defense."
"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded repeatedly with a smile.
But Tottenham don't care about that much.
Ali did not celebrate after scoring. He ran into the Manchester City goal and took the ball out, then called on his teammates to run towards the center circle.
In a blink of an eye, the game starts again.
After pulling back a goal, Tottenham's morale skyrocketed and they launched a fierce attack on Manchester City's goal.
But Manchester City concentrated on retreating, and after being more vigilant, the defense did a good job without any danger. They blocked Tottenham's shots time and time again and did not threaten Bravo, who was devastated by boos.
But the second goal came anyway.
In the 77th minute of the game, in the left rib area of the Manchester City midfielder, Chu Zheng blocked Dembele who was holding the ball.
When Dembélé saw that Chu Zheng was not shaking his head, he stopped thinking about Chu Zheng.
Because he knew he couldn't pass, and in terms of burst activation speed, Chu Zheng could turn him into pieces in seconds.
Chu Zheng's steal data is there. Even Hazard, who was better than him, was once doubted by Chu Zheng. Even Barcelona's Argentinian football champion suffered a few defeats.
The ball was crossed to the right by Dembele.
When Chu Zheng ran to the wing, Ben Davis suddenly passed the ball back to Dembele.
At this time, Manchester City had another problem, and Yaya Toure was not in position, so Dembele contacted Eriksen.
Dembele grabbed the ball before Chu Zheng and Aguero came from the left and right, and quickly passed the ball to Eriksen who was standing in front of the left rib area at the top of the Manchester City arc.
At this moment, Manchester City's defense caused a chain reaction because Yaya Toure was not in place in time, forcing Kolarov in the left rib area at the top of the arc to push out, giving up the gap behind him.
Kane.
Son Heung-min on the right wing was not idle either. He also quickly started running towards the middle and directly took away Clichy from outside the upper corner of the penalty area.
The next second, Eriksen, who was blocked by Kolarov and cut off Kane's through line, came to the upper corner of the penalty area, then made a cold pass and pushed the ball to the left rib area of the Manchester City penalty area.
Kane in.
Kane played the ball with his back, knocked it with the outside of his right foot, and the ball flew horizontally towards the center of the penalty area.
The penalty kick was to the right, and Son Heung-min pushed directly into the lower left corner.
Cards goalkeeper Bravo's save came up empty again.
Double kill!
"Son Heung-min!!!!!"
“Knock on the door!!!!!!!”
“OMG!!!!!!!!!”
"Goal again, Tottenham's second shot on goal!!!!!" Zhan Jun was excited again.
This time Zhang Lu was also left speechless!
On the sidelines, Pochettino quickly rushed to the coaching area. He already saw hope of an equalizer or reversal.
3-2!
One ball left!
On the field, the Manchester City players, led by Chu Zheng, were besieging the referee Marina again.
Because the moment Kane made the ball, he and Zabaleta, the last man of Manchester City in front of Son Heung-min at the penalty spot, were almost on the same line.
Otamendi, who was next to Kane, strongly stated that Kane was offside.
"Oh! It's indeed a bit offside!"
"But from this perspective, it's really difficult to judge whether it's offside or not!"
"I guess the linesman can't see clearly!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu analyzed whether Tottenham's goal was offside.
On the court, after a while, Chu Zheng and Marina concluded their negotiation, upholding the original verdict and the goal was valid.
Seeing referee Marriner blowing the whistle and pointing to the center circle, the anger of the Manchester City fans waiting anxiously in the stands was once again ignited collectively.
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Fuck off Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"..."
For a moment, the deafening curses echoed through the Etihad Stadium again!
Guardiola couldn't sit still on the sidelines. He quickly replaced Sterling with Jesus, Stones replaced Clichy, and Fernando replaced Yaya Toure.
Guardiola's continuous substitutions and adjustments to player positions on the field allowed Manchester City to gradually stabilize the precarious situation.
As time went by, the physical fitness of the players on both sides declined, coupled with Chu Zheng's extremely high defensive accuracy after moving to the midfielder position, Tottenham could no longer penetrate the areas on both sides of Manchester City's single midfielder.
The gap then threatens Manchester City's goal.
On the other hand, on Manchester City's side, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne took advantage of Tottenham's crazy pressure and each used scalpel-like passes to launch three extremely threatening counterattacks.
But in the end, Manchester City still failed to score the fourth goal that killed the game.
When the final whistle sounded, all the Manchester City fans were sweating profusely and frightened, for fear of being tied by Tottenham.
