Chapter 1140 The difference lies in the center
"The first half was good, but in the second half Manchester City will definitely bounce back ... tangle with them and find opportunities to lead them. Our strikers can score more goals than them, that's our advantage, get it? Yes, Be careful of Gundogan, his forward mid-range and long-range shots are still very threatening, which can easily pose a threat to our goal." Ji Ya said in the locker room.
The players nodded one after another. Of course they are very familiar with Gundogan. This is also an old teammate and old opponent. Under such circumstances, of course they need to deal with them well.
Gundogan's mid-range shot after going forward is indeed more likely to break the goal. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to pay attention to it.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City's state really improved, and Gundogan's performance also became active.
In just one minute of the opening, Gundogan sent a pretty long pass in the backcourt. The ball crossed Southampton's defense line. After receiving the ball, Torres broke into the penalty area and volleyed decisively. out of the near corner.
Torres shook his hand regretfully, and he wanted to make more adjustments, but De Ligt returned to the defense too quickly, and he could only shoot decisively, but it was still a little bit short.
A few minutes later, Manchester City played another beautiful cooperation. After Rodri advanced forward, he played two-for-one with Sterling. After attracting enough attention, he crossed the ball to Gundogan who advanced. .
Gundogan has already thought about how to deal with the ball next, but when he just got the ball, McAllister has already entangled him from the side!
The height and confrontation of the two sides are similar. Under the entanglement of McAllister, Gundogan can't take any long shots. He can only control the ball in a relatively embarrassing manner, and then turn around and pass the ball to B who is responding. seat.
Seat B took a hasty shot, but kicked it straight away, causing a burst of laughter from the stands.
"It seems that the pressure created by Southampton is indeed quite large, otherwise Manchester City players would not continue to make such mistakes... Although the score is still one to one, it is obvious that Southampton's advantage has begun to be established. !"
The narrators said with some certainty that this point has already been shown quite clearly.
Guardiola scratched his head. He knew that a change must be made at this time. Although he is not a coach who particularly likes to make changes when the game is still balanced, he is still quite decisive at this time.
Manchester United changed two people in a row.
The underperforming B seat was off, the veteran Fernandinho came on, strengthened the defense of the midfield, Mahrez came on, replaced Torres, who was mediocre, and strengthened the speed and technique in the wings and counterattacks.
"This is a very targeted substitution." Ji Ya sighed.
"Are we going to make a substitution?" Benelli asked.
"What's the rush? We have an advantage. We don't need to rush to make a substitution at this time. Instead, the gap in their substitution is an opportunity we can take advantage of." Ji Ya rubbed his chin and said.
The players on the bench nodded one after another. They felt that what the boss said made sense.
After 5 minutes, they all jumped up from the bench and began to celebrate wildly!
Ji Ya's words are not only reasonable, they are too reasonable!
Southampton got two corner kicks in the next time, one of which De Bruyne kicked directly to the goal, and Ederson, who was concentrating, kicked the ball out, but the next corner kick caused a penalty in the penalty area. In the chaos, in the melee, Sterling stopped the ball with his hands, and then made a big foot clearance...
The Southampton players raised their hands one after another, and the referee also ran to the penalty spot, and then pointed to the penalty.
Although Sterling's handball was inconspicuous, it was real, and it happened to be seen by the referee. In fact, even if the referee couldn't see it, after var intervened, it was still a penalty.
Sterling covered his face, what he was thinking at that moment, maybe only he knew.
"Come on." De Bruyne said to Du Yue.
"Okay, then I'll come."
Du Yue didn't refuse. He wanted to score more goals this season, so he couldn't pick and choose. Penalties are also goals!
After standing on the penalty spot, Du Yue seemed quite calm, then he started to speed up, and then he accomplished it overnight!
Although he reacted, Edson still failed to touch the ball. The ball quickly flew past his hand and plunged into the far corner of the goal!
Two to one, Du Yue scored twice to help Southampton lead Manchester City in this game!
"Whether it is against strong teams or against weak teams, he has maintained a very high scoring rate! This is his No. 20 four goals in the 44 rounds of the league... Such a scoring rate is simply impressive. Terrible! Even if he can't maintain such a good state, it is enough to create a terrible record! When he scored [-] league goals last season, he didn't have such an exaggerated scoring rate!"
Amidst the commentator's sighs, Du Yue slid and knelt, and then accepted the excited cheers of the fans.
"Hat-trick! Hat-trick!"
The fans shouted loudly, they are extremely eager to see Du Yue can complete the hat-trick. In such a game, the probability of Du Yue performing better is quite high!
For Manchester City players, they are actually worried about this kind of thing happening...
So in the following time, they started to guard Du Yue more closely.
However, it was precisely because of this emphasis that they completely lost hope of winning this game.
The two sides entangled all the way to the game No. 804 minutes, Du Yue started to break through with the ball from the side, and broke through two players from the left in one breath. When Manchester City's defenders began to panic, he quickly transferred the ball to the penalty area Right!
Valverde, who advanced in that position, did it himself this time. After receiving the ball, he faced the attacking Ederson, calmly pushed the far corner, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal. [-] to [-], Southamp Dayton set the victory!
Ji Ya waved his fist, this match is considered to be won!
And winning this game also means that Southampton will gain a huge advantage in this season's league!
Guardiola shook his head helplessly. Manchester City's performance in this game was not much worse than the opponent's. However, Du Yue's goal and Southampton's successful counterattack allowed them to win this crucial game!
And Manchester City's Sterling became the key to the victory. He scored a goal, but also gave the opponent a penalty. Strictly speaking, Manchester City's loss means that they lost at the center position. !
"We must find a way to get a good center next season." Guardiola gritted his teeth and thought.
What he didn't know was that after the end of the season, he couldn't fulfill this wish...
