With the goals of Hao Qiang and Dzeko, Manchester City eliminated Newcastle United 2:0 in overtime and advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
Pellegrini dare not touch Yaya Toure in the overall situation.
I can only play tricks secretly.
Yaya Toure played the full 90 minutes in the Carabao Cup match in midweek.
After continuous fighting, he came to the weekend league, and he gave Yaya Toure a rest for legitimate reasons!
Because after playing the weekend league, they will play in the Champions League again next week.
The league gives Yaya Toure a rest, and the Champions League will come again.
In the 10th round of the league, Manchester City faced Norwich at home.
Yaya Toure doesn't care about this ordinary opponent.
He didn't even make the roster, but he came to watch the game.
Just think of it as a way to create a sense of presence.
Manchester City still plays the 433 system.
Hao Qiang, Aguero and Navas form a trident.
There is no doubt that among the three forwards, Navas is a pure support.
In the midfield, Xavi Garcia and Fernandinho partnered as a double midfielder.
David Silva plays as an attacking midfielder and is responsible for offensive organization.
When the two teams started a battle, Norwich came to the away game with a conservative attitude and were prepared to withstand pressure.
Hao Qiang, Aguero, and Silva can cooperate in a small area. When Norwich tightens the defense, Silva's organization and scheduling can come into play and transfer the offensive to other areas with a relaxed environment.
Navas and the two full-backs Zabaleta and Clichy can also play a role in the offense.
Manchester City's operation is not only smooth and silky, but also the offense is full of variety.
Being able to continue to play threatening offense will gradually suppress Norwich in terms of rhythm.
It leaves the opponent's defense breathless.
In the 16th minute, Hao Qiang and Aguero changed positions. When cutting in from the wing, they received Clichy's cross. They controlled the ball in the penalty area and then suddenly moved the ball toward the baseline. As soon as they had the advantage of depth, they vigorously crossed the ball.
The area in front of the goal.
Aguero rushed to outflank and was about to score. Unexpectedly, midfielder Bradley Johnson was eager to save him and tried to intercept with a flying tackle.
As a result, he overestimated himself and knocked the ball directly into his own goal.
Own goal.
Manchester City 1:0 Norwich City.
The Manchester City generals ran to Hao Qiang to celebrate together.
Although he didn't score the goal, it was his own goal that caused his opponent.
There was no discordant scene on the field at this time. Manchester City fans didn't think much and just celebrated and enjoyed the joy of taking the lead.
Yaya Toure sat in the stands with a calm expression.
The mentality of the Norwich generals is obviously a little impatient.
Actively launch a counterattack when the score is behind.
As a result, he was quickly educated by Manchester City.
Only 5 minutes had passed since the goal was conceded.
Manchester City stole the ball in the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack.
Navas advanced from the right and passed the ball to the center when he was intercepted. David Silva took possession of the ball and passed it over the top.
Hao Qiang just happened to counter offside while sprinting in the middle. He entered the middle of the penalty area and dumped the ball sideways to his chest. When the football bounced off the ground, he swung his leg and volleyed!
There was no delay at all.
The speed of a football is as scary as a cannonball!
In the blink of an eye, the ball has flown into the goal!
Hao Qiang smiled and pointed at David Silva, praising the opponent's wonderful pass.
The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium was lively, and the fans danced the Poznań dance with their arms around each other.
Norwich were two goals behind but refused to accept it.
He regained his strength and continued to attack Manchester City's defense.
There were two dangerous situations in Manchester City's defense, but Joe Hart was able to resolve them in front of the goal line.
The fans were a little on tenterhooks.
I'm afraid that the defense line will explode with stars.
Manchester City's current financial situation is not particularly strong.
There is no problem with the fullbacks in the back line, but if Kompany is absent from the center back, the fans will have trouble sleeping and eating.
But in the 25th minute of the game, when Manchester City's fast break reached the frontcourt again, Hao Qiang and Aguero changed positions.
Aguero was restrained in the middle, and Hao Qiang received Silva's pass from the wing. He dribbled in and was intercepted. After an emergency stop, he made a push and a dunk to speed up the breakthrough.
Johnson's interception focus was very thorough, and Hao Qiang broke through cleanly.
After Hao Qiang passed by, the dribbler just approached the left side of the top of the penalty area and hit the goal hard.
The football traced a shocking straight line straight into the upper right corner of the goal!
The entire Manchester City fans cheered for joy!
The little worry I had just disappeared in an instant!
"Is this Hao Huang? He scored three goals in 11 minutes!"
"Today, every attack we made not only had clear ideas, but also coordinated well and was smooth and smooth!"
"Without Yaya Toure's troubles, the team's efficiency instantly soared!"
"Well, this is Norwich, not Chelsea."
"That's what I say, but whether the team's overall performance is good or not, anyone who is not blind can see it."
The teammates also rushed to congratulate Hao Qiang with great excitement.
The Norwich fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium did not recover for a long time.
Less than 30 minutes, 3 goals behind?!
You come all the way to cheer for the team and you don’t even finish half the time and there’s no suspense anymore?
this......
Norwich were clearly confused.
I was at a loss for a while.
Now the pressure on Manchester City's defense was reduced, but the offense did not fall behind.
When Hao Qiang returned to the center position again, Norwich's defense completely instinctively blocked him and swarmed to surround him.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Silva sent a wonderful pass in the frontcourt. Aguero cut inside and connected with the ball to penetrate Norwich's loose defense line with a stop as all the troops went to block Hao Qiang.
Then he hit a powerful shot into the near corner of the goal.
Aguero also ran to celebrate with a smile.
Manchester City fans were singing and dancing, extremely excited.
4:0!
The Norwich generals were devastated and almost wanted to give themselves a few big mouths.
See if you are having a nightmare!
It’s indeed a bit scary!
Pellegrini had mixed feelings in his heart.
You guys are so showy, don't you consider Yaya Toure's feelings?
They really haven't considered it.
When Manchester City began to control the tempo, Norwich was at a loss.
So I can only passively slow down.
Hao Qiang moved outside the penalty area to cooperate with his teammates. His touch of the ball in the middle would cause Norwich's defense to shrink.
So he quickly released the ball and Silva shifted the attack.
Navas made a pass from the right, and Hao Qiang hit the center of the goal.
When fighting for a high-altitude ball, sometimes there are no more people than there are people. You have to step on the spot.
Hao Qiang jumped high in the crowd and sent the flying football directly into the goal!
"Hat trick! Hao Huang's dominance is terrifying!"
"It's really a false start. Hao Huang alone is like a thousand troops!"
"5:0! A tragedy is going to happen today!"
At the end of the first half, Norwich fans were in a daze.
Not to mention them, the players who left the field were like zombies.
Yaya Toure, who was in the stands before, was nowhere to be seen.
After the start of the second half, the scene was calm for quite some time.
Manchester City seems to have withdrawn its troops.
I don’t want to get too entangled with Norwich City.
But just after 60 minutes of the game, when Manchester City began to speed up their attack again, Norwich was caught off guard again!
Hao Qiang, Aguero, and Silva plus Xavi Garcia and Clichy who came up with assists completed a quick pass and cut as a team.
When Clichy sent the football into the left rib of the penalty area and was swept towards the middle of the penalty area by Aguero who cut inside, Hao Qiang moved forward to grab the spot and shot directly, but stopped the ball to adjust.
Center defender Basson put down his shovel to block his shooting route. Unexpectedly, Hao Qiang could still hold back and not shoot!
Adjust the ball control by moving the ball to the right to widen the angle and then hit the goal.
I also specially made a reverse cut line.
Goalkeeper Rudy fell towards the right goal post, but looked back towards the left goal post.
The football flies into the goal.
After Hao Qiang scored, he turned around and smiled and hugged Aguero, who ran over. Other teammates came over one after another.
"Hao Huang's fourth birthday! Whose record is the Premier League's all-time scoring record?"
"Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's 34 goals."
"Hao Huang breaks this record, it's a big deal!"
"Hao Huang bought for 150 million euros is a great deal!"
