Chapter 822 Su Dong is here!
When the game progressed to No. 70 two minutes, a chance of a dead ball, the referee Chris Foy whistled to suspend the supplementary match.

Su Dong, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, reached out to applaud his teammates who were about to leave the field.

The broadcast in the arena is the news of the substitution.

No. 14 player Su Dong came on and replaced No. [-] player Santa Cruz.

This substitution decision was immediately greeted with warm cheers from the Manchester City fans in the Etihad Stadium. There was overwhelming applause from the entire stadium. This was the Manchester City fans cheering for Sudong.

Santa Cruz walked off the pitch with a dejected look on his face, clearly dissatisfied with his performance after playing more than 70 minutes.

After coming to the sidelines, he gave Su Dong a polite hug.

Su Dong expressed his gratitude for his performance, and he cheered for Su Dong.

The two passed each other as if it was their fate at City.

Anyone can see that in today's Manchester City, Su Dong is the most unshakable player. It is a tragedy for anyone to substitute Su Dong, and Santa Cruz is a tragedy of tragedies.

Because he doesn't even like coach Guardiola very much.

He is the favorite of the former Manchester City coach Mark Hughes. When Mark Hughes coached Blackburn, he successfully activated Santa Cruz and brought him the peak of his career. Paraguayan players were therefore able to join Manchester City.

But Guardiola doesn't like this type of player, so Santa Cruz has had a miserable time in Manchester City in the past two seasons.

From the current point of view, it will be sooner or later that the Paraguayan striker will leave the team.

It may even leave the team during the winter break transfer period.

……

Su Dong ran into the field, raised his hands above his head, and responded to the applause of the fans.

In fact, his right foot has not fully recovered, but he still took the initiative to apply for the game.

He clearly knows the importance of this game to Manchester City.

More importantly, he knows his body.

After running into the court, the first thing Su Dong did was to pull together several teammates in the frontcourt.

"Angel, Alexis, you two pay attention to stretching the line of defense, and don't let the two wingers shrink into the penalty area, can you do it?" Su Dong asked in a deep voice, his tone full of unquestionable firmness.

"no problem."

"I'm fine."

The two wingers of Manchester City did not hesitate and agreed directly.

"David, Tony, you two pay attention to my position and pass more straight passes." After a pause, Su Dong added, "My right foot is not fully healed yet, and I can't run too much. Thank you for your hard work!"

Everyone was also aware of Su Dong's situation, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's okay, leave it to me to press the defense line." Sanchez promised.

"I still have energy now, leave the left side to me." Di Maria also expressed his opinion.

"And me and Tony, we can all move on."

After David Silva finished speaking, Toni Cross kept nodding.

Su Dong nodded heavily.

"Okay, then don't talk too much, just perform well!"

……

Ferguson was on the sidelines, watching Manchester City's central and frontcourt players gather together, as if they were plotting something, he immediately walked to the sidelines, shouted to Ferdinand and Vidic, and signaled them to pay attention to Su Dong.

At the same time, the two sidewalks should pay attention to prevent crosses from the sideways.

Carrick, Fletcher and Scholes should pay attention to Manchester City's midfield and try to cut off the pass to Sudong.

After the arrangement was finished, he was still not at ease, and immediately asked Wes Brown and O'Shea to warm up and prepare to replace them at any time. Nani and Hernandez were also actively preparing.

Ferguson has been waiting, waiting for Guardiola's trump card.

He knew that if Su Dong entered the big list, he would definitely not be aimless.

If Manchester City wins, then Su Dong will basically not play, but once Manchester City is passive or falls behind, Guardiola will arrange Su Dong to play.

It was like a sword of Damocles hanging over Ferguson's head, putting him under a lot of pressure.

So Ferguson has been waiting for Su Dong to play.

But now, with Su Dong playing, the real test is coming.

……

The game restarts.

Manchester City is still the same as before, controlling the ball, passing the control patiently, and organizing the attack.

Manchester United is focused on stabilizing the defense, patiently waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The game is still relatively stalemate, but after Manchester City played Su Dong, the two wingers obviously played more vigorously and resolutely.

No.705 minutes, Marcelo quickly moved forward on the left, and after completing a cooperation with David Silva and Di Maria, he made a low pass to the penalty area before the bottom line on the left, but Ferdinand blocked the ball from the bottom line.

Su Dong was obviously a beat slower to keep up.

"It can be seen that Su Dong is still affected by the injury, and he still avoids confrontation with his opponent."

"But his deterrence is still there, and he has exerted enough pressure on Manchester United's defense to make Manchester City's two wings able to play a threat. This should be regarded as an obvious change from when Santa Cruz was there just now."

"Look at the corner kick this time."

"David Silva took the corner and it went in the middle of the box."

"In the penalty area, players from both sides are fighting!"

"Su Dong grabbed the spot and headed the goal!"

There was a burst of regret and exclamation from the entire Etihad Stadium.

Su Dong's header barely touched the crossbar and went out of the baseline, failing to score.

This made him feel very depressed.

When he took off just now, he was still a little apprehensive about his right foot, and there was a problem with his power, which caused him to fail to jump well, so he made a mistake when heading the ball, and he didn't grasp the angle and strength properly.

This is actually beyond his control.

The right foot is injured, and the body will instinctively avoid using the right foot.

Just a little bit!

"Manchester City's corner kick attack was very threatening. Su Dong grabbed the spot, headed the goal, and almost broke Manchester United's goal. This is also the most threatening attack of Manchester City so far in the second half."

"We saw that Ferguson was very anxious on the sidelines, and he was going to make a substitution."

"Wes Brown is going to come off the bench, and it should be Rafael. Just now, when the Brazilian was defending Di Maria and Marcelo, he failed to block the ball from the side. Instead, he let Marcelo make a successful pass, and this was the corner kick."

"For Manchester United, if it is a zero-to-nil score, that is also a very good result."

"At least the gap has not been widened by Manchester City."

"Ferguson said before the game that he is confident of reversing during Christmas and winter break. Now, what Manchester United wants to do is to shorten the gap with Manchester City as much as possible, and create more favorable conditions for the reversal during Christmas and winter break."

……

"Su."

When walking back, David Silva deliberately lagged behind, walking side by side with Su Dong.

"Wait a minute and you pay attention to running in the neutral position. I will take more balls and pass them to you. I will try to create one-on-one opportunities for you."

Su Dong stretched out his hand, touched David Silvana's sweat-soaked head, and laughed.

He is really happy, because he feels that David Silva is no longer the little brother who followed him back then, but his comrade in arms, who can provide him with maximum support when necessary.

Being able to say this proves that David Silva has considerable confidence in his own abilities.

Facts have also proved that David Silva has performed better and better this season. He is one of the best players in the Manchester City team after Su Dong and Kompany.

Speaking of Kompany and Pepe, these two players also completely imprisoned Berbatov and Rooney.

If it is said that Santa Cruz is restricted by Manchester City, then the situation of Manchester United is not much better. Berbatov is also restricted by Pepe and Kompany.

Rooney is because of the previous toss, first recruiting J door, and then contract renewal disputes. He finally renewed his contract and was injured again.

In contrast, Manchester City's performance here is not bad.

……

The game restarts.

Su Dong followed the advice of David Silva, and he was still running in space more than receiving passes from his teammates.

His right foot is injured, so he still runs more in the neutral position that is convenient for playing with his left foot, for example, he is more on the left side of the penalty area.

Ferguson must have had this kind of conjecture early on, so he arranged for Wes Brown to replace Raphael, just to work with Ferdinand to restrain Su Dong's left foot.

The right foot is still injured, and the left foot is naturally the key.

After several attempts, Su Dong failed to catch the ball.

Manchester United has been prepared for this and will not let Su Dong easily catch the ball with his left foot.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon entered 10 minutes.

David Silva and Toni Kroos tried several forward passes, and even Marcelo and Di Maria tried to pass the ball, but it didn't work well.

Ferguson made his last substitution at 10:[-], replacing Berbatov with Nani and pushing Rooney up front, creating a very interesting situation.

Both Manchester United and Manchester City are betting heavily on their star players, and both are betting on the two players who have just returned from injury, who is more able to seize the opportunity and create a deadly killing opportunity in the game.

Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium are starting to get a little restless.

Especially after the game time entered 85 minutes, they began to worry even more.

Su Dong had been up for more than ten minutes, and apart from that header, he didn't create any threat.

Could it be that tonight at the Etihad Stadium, it will be a zero-to-zero draw with Manchester United?

The team is so strong this season, is it still impossible to deal with Manchester United?

Manchester City fans were not reconciled, they cheered harder and louder for the team.

They hope that the team can persist until the last minute, the last second.

In the No.806 minute, after Carrick completed a long shot from the outside of Manchester City's penalty area, Manchester United basically adopted a defensive posture, obviously beginning to be satisfied with the draw.

Zero to zero, quite good for Manchester United in an away game.

But not for Manchester City.

Therefore, Manchester City's players are still organizing the offense.
