Chapter 832 Dude, shoot at my goal!

In the final round of the Europa League group stage, Manchester City challenged Juventus away.

Since Manchester City announced the 18-man roster for the away game, the whole world knows that this game has been given up by Manchester City. In fact, as early as the last round, Manchester City played with a full substitute lineup.

The game against Juventus was even more so. Guardiola even brought the English teenager Sterling, who had just turned 16 on December [-], into the squad. This was the first time an English genius entered Manchester City's squad.

There are eleven positions in the entire starting lineup, and there is no regular main force, which is enough to explain the problem.

Even the commentator on the live TV joked that if Poznan Lech saw Manchester City play in such a lineup, he might complain to UEFA that Manchester City deliberately released water to help Juventus advance.

But things have come to this point, Manchester City can be said to be benevolent, Juventus actually performed very badly at their home court, and did not score until the No. 403 minute.

It's okay to score late, and then Juventus failed to score again, which is understandable, but in the 77th minute, the Juventus defender took the initiative to give a gift and passed the ball directly to Adam Johnson.

This time, the England winger dribbled the ball directly to the bottom and made a cross. The Portuguese midfielder Moutinho stepped in decisively and scored in front of the goal to equalize the score for Manchester City.

Things suddenly got interesting!
There are still about 15 minutes before the game. If Juventus immediately launches a mad attack, there may be a chance, but the problem is that the Bianconeri have shown an indifferent attitude, as if they don't care whether they are promoted or not.

Since you have acted so coldly, it is of course impossible for Manchester City to stick your face to the opponent's cold ass.

Especially after Guardiola replaced the teenager Sterling, the kid played very actively on the wing and created several threats, which made Juventus' defense tense.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

……

Lord Hades is hard to persuade the damned ghost!
These words are really suitable for introducing Juventus.

It is very surprising and disappointing that Manchester City showed such a lack of aggressiveness at home when Manchester City has already dispatched all the substitutes, and the only hope of promotion is to win.

After the game, the Italian media criticized Del Neri's coaching overwhelmingly.

The Europa League is really not attractive. There are many games, less prize money, and it consumes a lot of players. Therefore, many teams are reluctant to play. This is understandable, but this is only the group stage, especially being eliminated in this way, which is too demoralizing!

As the Turin Sports News said, Juventus did not take the initiative to give up the Europa League strategically, but was eliminated miserably!

The former is understandable, while the latter is caused by insufficient strength and problems. The two are not the same.

Of course, Poznan Lech beat the Salzburg Red Bull [-]-[-] away.

Therefore, in theory, even if Juventus beat Manchester City, they still failed to win the championship in the end.

But things can't be seen that way.

The two games were played at the same time. If Juventus defeated Manchester City and failed to advance in the end, it would be justifiable, but a draw against Manchester City would be tantamount to giving up the right to advance, which is hard to be forgiven.

In the end, both Manchester City and Poznan Leahy qualified together.

……

After the last Europa League group match, the Europa League draw, Manchester City ushered in Greece's Thessalonika Aris.

The name of this team is not famous, but it has a very famous head coach.

Cooper!

Yes, it is the Argentine coach who once led Valencia to the Champions League final twice, and the Argentine coach who had a grudge against Ronaldo at Inter Milan.

This also basically determines the characteristics of this team, with a solid defense.

For Manchester City, there is another huge challenge, and that is the away game.

The first round of the game will be played in mid-February. Manchester City will travel long distances to Greece, and the consumption of the journey may be greater than that of the football game.

…………

…………

December 26, Boxing Day.

Guardiola's management is relatively humane, and the team is basically not required to gather the night before the game.

But just after Christmas with my family, I have to get up early the next morning to gather in Carrington, and then head north to Newcastle. This is a very depressing thing for any player.

The players were all emotional throughout, and everyone was unhappy.

Even Su Dong himself felt very depressed.

Wang Chuqing finally had a holiday, but he was busy with the competition all the time.

In the past, whether in Spain or Germany, he could accompany Wang Chuqing to travel around during the winter break, but now he can only leave her at home alone. How can Su Dong be happy?

As the captain of the team is like this, then the emotions of other people can be imagined.

The coaching staff was also prepared for this, but they themselves were also very depressed.

It's a bit like getting up angry, everyone knows it shouldn't be, but it just happens to be angry.

And the facts have proved that not only Manchester City's players are like this, but Newcastle's players are even more outrageous.

How much?
In less than a minute of the opening, when the goalkeeper Krul passed the ball to the front midfielder Barton, he failed to make a good pass, and was killed by Su Dong with a diagonal stab and successfully intercepted the ball.

It looked like Krul had let off steam on the Boxing Day game, throwing the ball straight to Soudon in retaliation.

"Dude, I am optimistic about you, hurry up and shoot at my goal!"

The "pass" of the ball made Su Dong feel embarrassed, so after he dribbled the ball to attract Coloccini's attention, he was too embarrassed to rush into the penalty area to kick the goal, but passed the ball to Di Maria, who calmly pushed and scored the goal, opening the scoring for Manchester City, [-]-[-]!

The emotion of the Newcastle players is really much greater than that of Manchester City!
……

After scoring the first goal, Newcastle launched a round of fierce attack, trying to equalize the score, but in the 5th minute, Manchester City seized an opportunity, stealing the ball from the midfielder and instigating a counterattack, Su Dong passed the ball to Milner, who knocked back.

Two to zero!
After leading by two goals, Manchester City began to slow down.

This is also a strategy formulated by the coaching staff before the game, and they will not fight Newcastle in such a game.

No need, Manchester City now wants to get three points steadily.

In the second half, Su Dong was replaced in 5 minutes.

Newcastle and Manchester City failed to score again after that.

In the end, Manchester City beat Newcastle [-]-[-] away.

……

Manchester United defeated Sunderland [-]-[-] at home. Ferguson also seduced Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson before the game, but he did not hold back in the game.

Chelsea continued their invincible record, losing [-]-[-] to Arsenal in the away game.

Although the score gap is quite large, in fact, the two teams are evenly matched. Arsenal scored two goals in 2 minutes before the end of the first half and shortly after the start of the second half.

Most of the rest of the time, the two teams were basically the same.

Everyone can see that Ancelotti has entered the countdown to the end of get out of class.

…………

…………

Two days later, Manchester City returned to Manchester and ushered in their No. 20 opponent, Aston Villa.

Only 8 minutes into the game, David Silva sent a through ball to the left side of the penalty area. After Su Dong got the ball, he refused to fall to the ground and sent the ball into the goal with his right foot.

One to zero!

Just 5 minutes later, Manchester City took advantage of a corner kick and Pepe scored with a header to expand the score for Manchester City, two to zero!
No. In 207 minutes, a goal that made all the fans in the entire Etihad Stadium stand up and applaud was born.

Starting from Marcelo and Pepe in the backcourt, to David Silva, Moutinho, Gareth Paris and Busquets, and then to Su Dong in the front, Manchester City completed 36 consecutive passes in a short period of time.

During the entire passing process, Aston Villa didn't even have a chance to touch the ball, and the entire defense line was completely played by Manchester City. In the end, David Silva sent a direct pass from the left rib, tearing the defense line.

Three to zero!
This is also Su Dong's brace!

No.303 minutes, Moutinho pushed the ball to the outside of the penalty area. After attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball to David Silva. The Spaniard rushed into the left side of the penalty area and pushed calmly, four to zero!
After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City launched a fierce attack at the beginning. After Sanchez dribbled the ball on the right side and broke through the opponent's two players, he made a pass from the bottom line to the goal.

Five to zero!
hat trick!

In three days and two games, Su Dong scored four goals, which is quite surprising.

More importantly, Manchester City also showed strong offensive firepower.

In the end, Manchester City was also at home. With Su Dong's hat-trick, they beat Aston Villa [-]-[-]!

…………

…………

Manchester City continued to win and continued to lead the Premier League standings.

Ferguson's Manchester United also relied on Berbatov's goal to beat Birmingham [-]-[-] in the away game and scored another three points.

Arsenal narrowly beat Wigan Athletic [-]-[-] away.

The top three teams in the league have basically won their opponents.

Among them, Manchester City's momentum is the strongest, especially the goal scored after the continuous pass, which was hailed by the media as the best goal of this round, which has won the essence of Barcelona football. Cruyff also spoke highly of Su Dong's goal in the column.

Chelsea continued with its embarrassment.

Ancelotti's team originally scored a goal by Malouda in the No.601 minute, but it was a pity that it was judged offside by the referee, and it was gone.

The final score was zero to zero, and the Blues lost again.

The eight rounds of victory finally caused Chelsea to fall out of the top four, and Tottenham Hotspur replaced them.
