Chapter 946 Golden Wind Yulu 1 Meeting
Chapter 946 Golden Wind Yulu 1 Meeting
Guardiola looked at this from a distance, the reason is very simple, that is, he did not expect Ji Ya to dare to attack.
The reason why Guardiola chose to attack is very simple - firstly, this is our home stadium, and secondly, your number one striker is not there.
In our home court, if your Du Yue can't play yet, and we dare not confront you, then we will lose all face!
Under such circumstances, Manchester City certainly has the courage to attack. Their offensive ability is only slightly inferior to Southampton. In terms of goals, even Liverpool cannot compare with them.
Liverpool can rely on the strong strength of their forwards to score a lot of goals in a certain game, but compared to the goals scored throughout the season, they are still not at the same level as these two teams.
It seems that after 34 games in the league now, Southampton has scored 93, Manchester City has scored 88, and Liverpool has 77, which is eleven less than Manchester City and sixteen less than Southampton.
Of course, they have a full ten more goals than Arsenal, which has the fourth most goals.
From this perspective, in the absence of Du Yue, Manchester City has every reason to attack Southampton.
But Ji Ya's idea is a little simpler.
This is away.
We didn't concede a goal at home.
So even if we attack each other, we naturally have a one-ball advantage. What else is there not to bet on?
Under this kind of thinking, after the start of the game, the two sides quickly launched a fierce confrontation!
Whether it's Manchester City or Southampton, they are...professionals when it comes to scoring goals.
Otherwise, it would not have averaged more than two and a half goals per game in the Premier League. This number does not seem to be good, but it is actually an extremely terrible number of goals.
In the Champions League, they basically maintained such a goal rate.
To be able to do this, in addition to their excellent ball control and the ability to always occupy enough offenses on the court, their offensive players' strong scoring ability is also a key.
Nearly one-third of Southampton's goals were scored by Du Yuejin, but other attackers also scored a lot. Manchester City does not have such a shooter who can bring a lot of goals, but their frontcourt players also have scoring ability , Aguero and Jesús are good strikers who always bring goals.
As for Sterling, although he always has some brains that do not match his body, and he often appears very happy on the court, his personal ability is beyond doubt—just like Bashen back then, you can question his brain, but cannot question his strength.
Manchester City started to pass in the midfield. Gundogan and David Silva are both very good playmakers. After a two-for-one cooperation in the midfield, Gundogan went forward to get the ball, and then suddenly kicked , Passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!
Sterling, who also slashed into the penalty area, threw off Cancelo's defense during the run, and then grabbed the ball in front of De Ligt. After poking the ball, he dodged De Ligt's interception, and then himself Quickly follow up with a step, after catching up with the ball, take a quick shot with your right foot!
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, then passed Mendy's outstretched hand, and flew into the back of the goal quickly!
"Goal in! From Sterling! City scored in the second attack after the opener! Sterling put in a brilliant solo display as he dribbled past De Liher after receiving a pass from Ilkay Gundogan. Te, and kicked the ball into the far corner of the goal! Hearty performance!"
In the chanting of the commentator, Sterling opened his arms and began to celebrate wildly on the field, while the Manchester City fans in the stands greeted him equally wildly and gave him warm applause.
The goal lost in the away game was recovered early, and the Manchester City fans began to be full of confidence.
They firmly believe that they can win and enter the Champions League semi-finals, and then take advantage of the trend to win the league championship and the FA Cup championship, becoming the third team in the Premier League to win the Triple Crown!
You must know that for Manchester City fans, for a long time in their history, they have been a mid-lower team. They can only watch the performance of their rivals in the same city and envy and hate them. The top champion!
They are desperate to win.
But Southampton's players don't want them to do so.
This is not what they think of Manchester City, but the championship competition.
This conceded goal did not cause them any emotional fluctuations. For the Southampton players, no matter whether they concede the ball or not, they also want to attack crazily.
In this game, they didn't intend to spend it zero-to-zero.
City didn't celebrate for too long and the game resumed soon after.
Southampton also settled in the midfield and started a possession attack.
Manchester City, on the other hand, launched a press in the midfield, trying to affect Southampton's possession offense.
However, the cooperation between De Bruyne and Rodri has become more and more tacit. The two seem to complement each other, constantly passing each other, and controlling Southampton's midfield.
Guardiola frowned. Of course he has been paying attention to the changes in Southampton this season, but he did not expect Southampton to be able to achieve such a level in the midfield.
Being able to do this is not only a matter of tactics, but also a matter of players.
De Bruyne is of course a very top midfielder, but when the partners around him changed last season, he could only maintain a fairly high average performance.
But now, with Rodri by his side, he has improved his performance and midfield control ability to a higher level!
This is the point that Guardiola could only reach when he had a peak midfielder like Habaibu!
Many people say that the Barcelona team improved to that level because of Guardiola's tactics, but Guardiola knew in his heart that in addition to his excellent tactics, it was also because of players like Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. The perfect combination of the three midfielders who are most suitable for his tactics has such a magical effect!
Has the ability to crush any team!
After Xavi gradually aged, even if Guardiola coached himself, Barcelona's ability to control inevitably declined.
The characteristics of the players and Guardiola's tactics are complementary to each other.
The so-called golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world.
Jinfeng and Yulu are indispensable.
There is no way to win without one, but there are countless in the world.
If Guardiola's tactics are in place, there will be no disadvantages, then his best results in the three years at Bayern will not be just the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
