Chapter 771 How many goals can he score tonight?

Just 7 minutes after the last goal, Manchester City once again launched a strong attack on the right.

Relying on his personal ability, Sanchez dribbled the ball on the right side and made a forcible breakthrough. He cut inward from the front of the penalty area and tried to contact Su Dong, but was intercepted by Lucas, who returned to the defense in time, and was forced to pass the ball back to Toni Cross.

After Toni Kroos got the ball, he seemed to be slowing down and reorganizing, but suddenly made a long pass, shifted laterally, and gave the ball to the left. At this time, Marcelo had already advanced quickly, stopped the ball on the left, and drove straight in.

Until this moment, everyone knew that Toni Kroos was not trying to slow down, but was waiting for Marcelo to advance.

After the Brazilian left back got the ball, he rushed to the left side of the penalty area along the left side, and completed a beautiful two-for-one cooperation with Di Maria. Marcelo crossed to the front point near the baseline.

Su Dong blocked the position with his body, blocked Skrtel firmly behind him, stopped the ball with his left foot, and knocked his heel behind him.

I saw David Silva quickly plug in, behind Su Dong and Skrtel, after stopping Su Dong's pass, he pushed and hit the far corner, making another victory for Manchester City!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"Two to zero!!!!"

"Manchester City scored again!!!"

"It's still an assist from Su Dong!"

"It was David Silva who attacked this time!"

City's players stormed off the pitch again, celebrating a goal.

Su Dong also caught up directly with David Silva, reaching out and touching his head vigorously, smiling from ear to ear.

The other Manchester City players also caught up and surrounded the two of them.

"Manchester City's offense is very active now. The left and right wings create threats back and forth, making Liverpool's defense impossible to defend against. Su Dong is the key node of the team's offense. He can not only score goals by himself, but also create opportunities for his teammates. This is his scariest part."

"Tonight, he's already had two assists."

"Hodgson should reflect on his tactics tonight. At least before the game, he vowed that he was full of confidence in the team's ability to freeze Sudong, but judging from the game process, that was not the case at all."

"Whether it's Skrtel, Carragher, or Agger, they can't limit Su Dong, and even the defense of Manchester City's two wings is not ideal. The left side of Di Maria and Marcelo, and the right side of Sanchez are very active."

"Less than 10 minutes, conceding two goals in a row, Liverpool should really reflect on it."

…………

"Toni Kroos is really a talent!"

In the coaching bench of the home team, Guardiola praised with a smile.

From the scoring process just now, he thought of many interesting offensive routines and many possibilities. He decided to try it out in the next training or in the game to further enrich Manchester City's offense and organization.

"His long pass is very threatening and quite accurate. Su Dong is right, he is a rare midfielder." Manchester City's chief assistant coach Torrent also nodded with a smile.

When Guardiola came to Manchester City, he only brought four assistants, all of whom were close friends of Guardiola, or partners who had in-depth cooperation during Barcelona, ​​and they all knew Guardiola’s tactical intentions very well. Domenech Torrent was one of them, and he was Guardiola’s right-hand man.

"The goal just now, apart from Su Dong's brilliant heel, is very important to Toni Kroos' wide-range long pass. His long pass is not only accurate, but also very fast. It is quite threatening to cooperate with Marcelo and Di Maria's side." Torrent analyzed.

"It's not true. With such a player with excellent long-passing ability, the offensive methods will be much richer. On this point, the report that Su Dong gave us at the beginning was very strategic." Another assistant coach, the former Olympic water polo champion Estiat, admired Su Dong even more.

Of course, the Bayern executives and head coach Heynckes are aware of the characteristics and potential of Toni Kroos, so Heynckes desperately wants to prevent Bayern from selling Toni Kroos.

For example, Bayern really has no way to promise Toni Kroos the main position, because the status of Modric and Schweinsteiger is unshakable, so they are forced to choose to sell Toni Kroos.

"Kals, later on, you can edit a video of Toni Kroos' pass." Guardiola urged.

Video analyst Carles Planchart raised his hand to say he heard it.

He is also an old partner who has worked with Guardiola for many years.

The last of the four assistants is Lorenzo Buenaventura, a fitness coach born in Real Madrid. He also tailored a summer training plan for Manchester City, with the purpose of fully improving the running ability of Manchester City players.

Judging from the first two rounds of the league, the running of Manchester City players has improved a lot.

After explaining everything, Guardiola returned his attention to the court.

After the game restarted, Manchester City still controlled the situation on the field.

"Two assists, Su Dong should start preparing to score!" Guardiola said expectantly.

He knows Su Dong too well.

This guy is not only a picky Virgo, but also has a stronger competitive spirit than anyone else. He can't accept the reality that he is not as good as Drogba anyway, so he will catch up. He will completely disappoint all the media and fans who question him.

Guardiola has never doubted that Su Dong can score tonight, there is only one suspense.

How many goals can he score tonight?

…………

…………

After all, Hodgson is the head coach who led the team to the Europa League final, and Benitez has personally trained Liverpool's defense for many years. If the Red Army unites their thinking and concentrates on defense, Manchester City's offense really has no way to break it.

After helping the team score two goals in a row, Su Dong began to try to score goals himself.

Of course, if he has the opportunity, he will still help his teammates score goals.

But it's kind of evil to say the least.

After leading by two goals, Liverpool paid more attention to defense, but Manchester City's offense was always a little bit worse.

It's not that Su Dong didn't get the chance, but he always missed it.

For example, in the No.14 minute, David Silva sent a through kick. After Su Dong broke into the penalty area, he kicked the goal, but it hit the outside of the post and went straight out of the baseline.

Then he took another shot from long range, which went slightly wide.

The most threatening thing was in the No. 30 minute, after Micah Richards sent a cross from the right, Su Dong stopped the ball at the penalty spot, dunked Lucas and Carragher, kicked the goal, and was saved by Reina.

Two minutes later, it was Su Dong's kick again, which was cleared by Ag.

Manchester City was almost playing against Liverpool, but the Red Army firmly withstood Manchester City's attack, and even made several threatening counterattacks.

Torres was obviously not in the best form. He counterattacked to his feet several times, but failed to create a threat. The only time was before the end of the first half, Torres wanted to break through Pepe, but was knocked down by Pepe. Fortunately, he passed the ball to Gerrard first.

After the Liverpool captain got the ball, he shot a long shot and it went slightly wide.

The shot also ended the first half of the game.

Gerrard was so angry that he yelled at the scene, obviously very depressed about the situation in the first half.

Torres drooped his head, obviously very dissatisfied with his state.

No one knows whether Torres is aware of his physical condition, maybe he just feels that his body has not adjusted to the best state due to long-term injuries.

As for whether he'll be able to get back to his physical best, who knows?

…………

…………

Returning to the locker room with a two-goal lead, Manchester City's players were elated.

Su Dong didn't feel sorry for missing consecutive opportunities in the first half, because those few opportunities were actually not very good.

Being able to score goals can reflect Su Dong's strength, but not being able to score goals is considered a normal phenomenon.

However, the trouble is that Liverpool's defense is really tight.

Although Sudong only played for Benitez for one year, it was this year that Valencia won La Liga and the Champions League.

What impressed Su Dong the most was Benitez's rigorous tactical system. He even threatened at the beginning that if he was given eleven robots, he could win all the games.

This is definitely not a vain boast!

From [-] to [-], Benitez trained Liverpool for six years. The team's offense has always been unsatisfactory. It only improved slightly after Torres arrived, but their outstanding results are entirely dependent on their solid defense.

Harvey Alonso's departure has dealt a blow to their organization, but the defensive level has not declined significantly.

Even if they ranked seventh in the league last season, Liverpool's number of goals conceded is only inferior to Chelsea and Manchester United, ranking third in the Premier League. One can imagine how strong the Red Army's defensive strength is.

Guardiola was pleased with his team's first-half performance, but also pointed out the problem.

"We didn't pull Liverpool's defense enough. I hope you all keep in mind that our passes are more to pull the opponent's defenders. It is best to let them leave their own defense area and create holes in the defense."

Guardiola's possession of the ball has never been to pass a threatening ball, but to pull the opponent's players.

As long as the opponent's players are fully pulled, the opponent's defense can be thrown out of order, and loopholes will naturally appear.

The next step is how to exploit the loophole.

The strategy given by Guardiola is that the two wings should be more active in the second half, and the large-scale shifts between the left and right sides can be more frequent, creating more scoring opportunities for Su Dong in the middle.

"I look forward to seeing a hearty victory tonight!" Guardiola said excitedly.

It can be said that his performance in the first round of the league and the first half tonight gave him a strong confidence.

This is what Manchester City failed to do last season.

Especially Su Dong.
