i want to be king

Chapter 772 Don't always try to make big news!
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, neither side made adjustments during the intermission.

Manchester City, playing at home, relied on the advantage of kick-off, firmly locked possession of the ball from the first second, and grasped the initiative of the game in their own hands, while Liverpool put on a strict defensive posture from the very beginning.

Obviously, Hodgson already knows clearly that the most important thing for his team now is to keep his own goal.

After Manchester City controlled the ball, they played very patiently and did not rush to attack. Instead, they controlled the ball back and forth in the front of the 30-meter area, and the left and right sides took turns to test the attack.

The benefits of this style of play are very obvious. It can not only pull the opponent's defense line and create defensive loopholes, but also consume the opponent's physical energy and even attack the opponent's psychological defense line.

Especially this kind of difficulty in touching the ball for a long time is a considerable blow to the player's psychology.

As the person concerned, Su Dong obviously felt that Guardiola's style of play had a completely different idea from Rijkaard's style of play back then.

Rijkaard's style of play at the time was offensive, giving full play to the personal abilities of Su Dong, Ronaldinho, and even Messi and others in the frontcourt, creating offensive threats through personal abilities and team cooperation.

The most important task of midfielders such as Harvey and Deco is to deliver shells to the frontcourt.

But Guardiola is obviously different. He is more patient in possession of the ball. The center of gravity of the entire team is actually in the midfield area. Once the midfielder finds a loophole and passes the ball to the frontcourt, the speed is immediately raised.

Don't underestimate this seemingly inconspicuous difference, but it is actually two completely different concepts.

Although I have talked a lot with Guardiola before and I am no stranger to his tactical thinking, Su Dong can only barely understand it, and it is far from a mastery.

Even after the summer training camp, he and a few new players are only able to play the game smoothly, and even the players have not yet established a tacit understanding with each other.

Therefore, at critical moments, the best performers are often the cooperation between a few old acquaintances.

……

With two minutes to go, Sanchez and Micah Richards' attack on the right was contained and passed back to Toni Kroos.

The German midfielder stopped the ball, glanced to the left, and found that Marcelo was already in place. He immediately made a big kick and transferred a long pass.

Marcelo was close to the left sideline. Without any defense, he stopped the ball with his left foot. Without waiting for the defender to approach, he quickly kicked the ball to Di Maria in front.

Di Maria stopped the ball with his back, behind right back Glenn Johnson, and the Argentine winger failed to create a threat after stopping the ball, took a step back, and quickly passed back to Marcelo who was running inside.

After Marcelo got the ball, he quickly went straight forward and dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the front of the penalty area. After attracting the attention of Gerrard and Glenn Johnson, he passed the ball diagonally back to the left line.

In an instant, Glenn Johnson was startled and dropped Marcelo immediately, heading straight for the left line.

I saw Di Maria rushing straight to the bottom line at the fastest speed. After receiving the pass from Marcelo, he stopped, looked at it, and made a pass with his left foot.

In the penalty area, Su Dong, who wanted to meet Marcelo just now, suddenly turned around and went straight to the left side of the goal, facing Di Maria's cross from the front point, without even taking off, he directly headed the goal.

Reina stood on the left side and raised his hands high to intercept, but Su Dong's header passed through his hands, wiped the lower edge of the crossbar, and hit the Liverpool goal behind him.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

"Su Dong scored a goal!!!"

"In two minutes, from Di Maria's cross from the left, Su Dong scored Liverpool's goal with a precise close-range header. This is Manchester City's third goal in this game, and it is also Su Dong's third Premier League goal this season."

After landing, without waiting for others to react, Su Dong quickly turned around and rushed to the sidelines. He rushed straight to the bottom of the stand where Wang Chuqing was, stretched out his finger to point to the area where she was, and kissed the ring on his left hand forcefully.

At this moment, the Etihad Stadium was boiling.

More than 4 Manchester City fans were shouting Su Dong's name hoarsely.

On the big screen, the live TV camera also captured Wang Chuqing's position in the stands, and gave her a close-up.

"We saw that Su Dong was celebrating his goal by kissing the ring on the sidelines. At the same time, he was showing love to his fiancée in the stands. The relationship between the two is very good, and they can be called a model couple in professional football."

"According to the German media, in the past three and a half years, Su Dong has been picked up by his fiancée to and from the training base, and Su Dong has expressed his gratitude to his fiancée more than once during interviews, believing that she has given him great support."

"Now, we can see that the two are interacting at a distance, celebrating Su Dong's goal."

"Three to zero, Manchester City is basically sure to win!"

……

Being behind zero to three is a disastrous blow to any team.

Liverpool can be called an iron army, but no matter how iron-blooded the team is, it will still be physically and mentally exhausted under such an overwhelming disparity.

If it is said that last season, Manchester City had an amazing ability to control the ball, then this season, what Manchester City has shown is not only the ability to pass and control the ball, but also sharp offense.

Di Maria and Sanchez have played in the Premier League for a year, but they have never caused so much trouble for Premier League opponents like the past two games.

Behind Sanchez are still Micah Richards and Zabaleta, and behind Di Maria has changed from Bridge to Marcelo.

But can this explain the sudden explosion of the two wingers this season?
Even not only the wing attack, Manchester City's entire offensive system has become more threatening and three-dimensional.

The only reasonable explanation is that the joining of Su Dong greatly improved Manchester City's offensive firepower, and at the same time drove the performance of the surrounding teammates, allowing everyone to play to their due level.

This is the trait of a core player!

Not only can they display super strength, but they can also drive the teammates around them and help them perform exceptionally well.

So that it will appear that after a certain team loses a certain player, it suddenly plummets.

Even, this example is the Liverpool in front of Su Dong.

After losing Harvey Alonso, the Red Army really declined rapidly. Not only Benitez, but also Hodgson this season, still failed to stop the decline.

In the same case, there was the Galactic Warship back then. After losing Makelele, wouldn't it be a thousand miles away?
……

After leading [-]-[-], Manchester City continued to maintain the pass and possession advantage and continued to look for opportunities patiently.

Liverpool did not even make a substitution.

Hodgson currently does not have a good replacement candidate on hand.

Whether it's Babel, Pacheco, or Maxi Rodriguez, none of them have the ability to turn the situation around on the field, especially in front of Manchester City's passing and possession style of play.

All Liverpool can do is stabilize their defense.

In addition to defending, Liverpool also kicked a counterattack. After Gerrard hit the post with a long shot, he was firmly hugged by Joe Hart and failed to form a shot.

Then Torres' shot was blocked by Pepe again.

Torres was sleepwalking tonight.

But for Torres' slump, others still think that he is far away from the stadium and training ground due to long-term injuries, which has caused his body to be far from being in shape. As the game progresses, he will gradually return to his peak.

Su Dong is more inclined to the analysis and judgment of Nuno Cruz, and Torres may find it difficult to return to the peak.

Next, what he should consider is transformation.

……

After Liverpool's two consecutive counterattacks created a threat, Manchester City's offense once again delivered a fatal blow.

Marcelo's cross from the left, David Silva scored the ball to the right, Sanchez dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the right rib, facing Daniel Agger's defense, the Chilean forced a breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area.

When the two were in contact, Agger bumped into Sanchez with his body, causing the Chilean winger to stagger and almost fell to the ground. However, after Sanchez barely stabilized his position, he continued to rush into the right side of the penalty area. After catching up with the ball, the ball passed low and flat to the front of the small penalty area.

Su Dong, who had been in ambush for a long time, quickly jumped in, and before Carragher, he shot and sent the ball into the lower right corner of Liverpool's goal again.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Four to zero!!!"

"Two goals!"

"Su Dong scored twice!"

"This is already the third consecutive game in which he has scored twice."

"Before, in the first round of the Premier League and the Europa League qualifiers, he had two shots and one pass, but tonight, he has two shots and two passes!"

"Oh my God, Su Dong has shown super personal ability. From the very beginning, he has shown his superstar level that stands out from the crowd, so that everyone can clearly see the strength of the world's top superstar!"

After scoring the goal, Su Dong rushed to the sidelines again and kissed the ring on his left hand again.

But this time, he was hugged by his teammates.

Everyone is excited and excited about his goal.

Before the game, Drogba topped the scorer list and assist list with five goals and three assists. In contrast, Su Dong's two shots and one pass were a bit shabby, and he even ranked outside the top ten.

Unexpectedly, after one game, Su Dong caught up with the amazing performance of two shots and two passes, and even reversed the situation. Now he has four goals and three assists, tying Drogba in the assist list, and only one goal behind Drogba in the scorer list.

I have to admit that the Ivory Coast Elephant King really started the season quite crazy.

However, after Su Dong's astonishing performance tonight, I believe the situation will suddenly reverse.

No one would doubt Su Dong's stamina.

On the contrary, everyone should be more worried about Drogba, wondering how long he can last in this state?

You know, Su Dong is a monster who scored more than [-] league goals in a single season!
The most depressing player in the audience was Hodgson.

When Su Dong returned to the field after celebrating the goal, he looked at Su Dong, as if he saw the joke from Su Dong's seriousness.

You, better be honest.

Don't always try to make big news!
You see, things are going to be messed up now, right?
