Chapter 873 Manchester City's Fast Break
Chapter 873 Manchester City's Fast Break
This is a cross that flies to the back point.
When he passed the ball, Vardy, who had already strode into the penalty area, jumped to meet the falling ball.
At this time, it is not that Manchester City has no one to return to the defense, and Stones has already withdrawn. Although he is one step short, he jumped up and can also interfere with Vardy.
Edson has already blocked the front point.
However, Vardy didn't want to shake his head and attack the goal, but directly ferryed the ball with a header and passed the ball back to the middle!
Du Yue, who advanced in that position, faced the falling ball and shot directly in the air!
Mendy next to him has almost no room for interference, he can only watch Du Yue lift his foot, and then volley the ball into Manchester City's gate!
Four to three, Southampton completed the overtake within 15 minutes of the second half!
This goal can be said to have stunned Manchester City.
The fans in the stands have nothing to say, and the game has reached this point, and there is indeed nothing to say.
Guardiola shook his head and stood up. Manchester City had a big advantage just now, but they failed to score. Instead, Southampton relied on counterattacks to score goals-this is where the attack is uncontrollable, even if you are very good. , It doesn't mean that you will definitely be able to score goals. Who can seize the opportunity better depends not only on the strength of the players, but also on luck.
Goals really depend on luck-this sounds unscientific, but football games have never been scientific.
If it is scientific, there is no way to explain how to deal with even the same opponent. Some players can score goals in one game, but they will be mediocre in the next game.
However, under such circumstances, the adjustment of the coach is equally important.
Guardiola started to make substitutions.
He first changed to a defender.
The old captain Kompany came on and replaced Stones.
Stones did not perform very well in this game. He was not good at both ends of the offense and defense. Guardiola himself liked him because he had good skills at his feet and could participate in the passing of the ball. However, in this game In the confrontation with each other, his advantages can't be used well. At the same time, he can't stand up to Maguire and Vardy when defending. His performance is indeed very average. Replace with a more stable Kompa Ni, let's stabilize the situation first.
I have to say that this substitution of Guardiola is also quite reliable. He is not in a hurry to change the offensive problem, but stabilizes the defense first.
In this way, the mentality of the players will be easier to stabilize.
"Tsk tsk, this substitution is really old-fashioned, but we don't need to rush to change it now, let's see it first." Ji Ya said to Benelli.
The game restarts.
After the substitution, Manchester City quickly stabilized their defense, and then continued to launch a fierce attack.
Southampton is resisting the opponent's attack, constantly waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
But then their counterattack effect is not so good. After all, if you want to counterattack under such circumstances, it is very important to quickly hit the forward through the midfield.
Vardy grabbed a few headers in the frontcourt before. Relying on his experience, running position, and ability to judge the landing point, he made Stones and Laporte, two central defenders, very good at playing. uncomfortable.
However, after Kompany came up, it was his turn to suffer.
In terms of experience and judgment, Kompany is no worse than him. Coupled with his height advantage, Vardy quickly fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two veterans.
When the counterattack was not smooth, Manchester City's offense began to play more fiercely.
Playing the ball from the backcourt is always unable to form an offensive pressure, and Southampton can only be forced to press more on the offense to create a threat.
In this way, it gave Manchester City more opportunities to counterattack.
In the 607th minute of the game, Manchester City evened the score through a beautiful counterattack!
De Bruyne passed the ball to Du Yue, and Du Yue gave it to Grealish on the left. Grealish was entangled by Walker when he broke through with the ball, and then took the opportunity to break his ball and get out. The ball was taken by the b seat, he quickly took the ball and passed the ball to Aguero who retreated to respond.
Aguero catches the ball and turns around and breaks forward!
His breakthrough was still very sharp, Rodri was accidentally broken by him, Maguire came up to intercept him, Aguero kicked out while running, and sent a beautiful direct pass again!
The ball flew to the left side of the penalty area, Sterling plugged in at high speed, Chilwell was a step too slow to turn back to the defense, Sterling got the ball first, and then took a step forward, when Mendy attacked, he was in Take a decisive shot from a place with a small angle!
This was a shot that flew close to the ground and flew towards the far corner. Mendy, who made a hasty attack, fell to the ground and was a step slower. The ball rolled past his armpit, and then flew into the far corner of the goal!
Four to four, Manchester City equalized the score!
After being overtaken by Southampton, Manchester City once again equalized the score through a counterattack!
"Keep attacking!"
Ji Ya waved his fist off the court, and then he replaced Rodri with B fee to strengthen the offensive in the frontcourt.
This obviously means going all out to attack. For Southampton, they must not back down at this time!
And Guardiola used up the second substitution quota. The teenager Fudeng came on the stage and replaced David Silva, who was physically declining.
This is also an offense-oriented substitution.
Although the teenager Foden is young, he has already been in Manchester City's first team for two seasons. His skills and coping ability are quite good, and Guardiola also attaches great importance to his training.
The game has now entered a fever pitch, Southampton and Manchester City, in the next time, the offense will be more active!
At this time, both sides have consumed a lot of physical energy, so the exposed flaws are obviously much larger than before.
After Fudeng came on the stage, he quickly showed the value he can show at this time as a top young player.
He played only 5 minutes, received a pass from Fernandinho in the counterattack, and then started to break forward!
Valverde went up to defend him, but was freed by Foden's sudden stop and acceleration. This breakthrough disrupted the rhythm of Southampton's return to defense. Foden took the ball forward again, and then quickly passed the ball to the forward. Insert Sterling!
After Sterling broke through with the ball, he crossed again. Sane, who outflanked the ball, received the ball and shot decisively!
The ball passed Rudiger who was intercepting, and Mendy who was saving at the same time, and quickly flew into the dead corner of the goal!
Five to four!After being scored twice by Southampton in the second half, Manchester City once again took the lead in this game by passing two goals within 5 minutes!
"Manchester City's fast break is really lightning fast! I didn't expect Guardiola to train such a beautiful fast break in addition to possession tactics!"
