Chapter 883 Achieving the Triple Crown

When Sudong knocked away Otamendi and took the ball straight to the penalty area, everyone in the audience was basically sure that no one could stop Sudong from threatening Porto's goal again.

Porto goalkeeper Erton stands in the small penalty area line, hesitating whether to attack?
He attacked just now, but was tricked by Su Dong, now what?

But at the moment when he was hesitating, he saw Su Dong who had just rushed into the top of the arc and hadn't even rushed into the restricted area, and suddenly shot without thinking.

The ball, like a cannonball, flew straight towards the goal with lightning speed.

When Elton reacted, he was about to make a save when he felt a gust of wind passing by his side.

That's too late!

This idea popped into his mind instantly.

The ball is in!

The Brazilian goalkeeper is dumbfounded.

He never imagined that Su Dong's kick would be so decisive and his shot would be so powerful. What's more frightening was that with such a strong force and such a fast ball speed, he could still find the best angle. What a terrifying shooting technique!

Erton stood there dumbfounded, from beginning to end, he didn't even have time to react.

A sense of despair quickly occupied his whole body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Twice single-handedly, both times scored!
……

After Su Dong scored a goal, he ran out of the stadium excitedly, shouting all the way, calling his teammates to come and celebrate. At the same time, he also called on the fans in the stands to shout louder and more passionately.

"Manchester City attacked very smoothly tonight."

"Porto failed to suppress Manchester City's midfield, which allowed Manchester City to control the situation and the ball smoothly."

"We can't understand why Villas-Boas adopted such a tactical play. We can only say that from the beginning to the present, Manchester City has suppressed Porto both in terms of tactics and player performance."

"Obviously, Manchester City played their own advantages in overall strength, and also played an advantage in passing and possession."

"Two to zero, the current situation is quite unfavorable for Porto."

"Su Dong used two single-handed goals to prove his calmness and stability at critical moments, helping Manchester City lead by two goals."

"If Porto can't come up with a more effective solution, then tonight's final may be dominated by Manchester City."

…………

…………

In the stands, like all Manchester City fans, De Bruyne and Courtois stood up excitedly and applauded Su Dong's goal vigorously, especially Courtois, who was obviously more excited.

"It's amazing!" Courtois praised convincingly.

This made De Bruyne next to him very surprised. This is the talented goalkeeper Courtois he knew, who was arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously?
"If you were to defend the ball, would you be able to defend it?" De Bruyne suddenly asked with a curious smile.

Courtois really thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "It's probably difficult."

"Is it difficult to pounce?" De Bruyne felt strange, and the ball didn't seem to be very tricky.

Courtois thought for a while and said: "Before Sudong kicked the goal, it gave people the impression that he would take the ball into the penalty area, and the goalkeeper has always judged it this way, but the problem is that the Porto goalkeeper obviously hesitated, and Sudong seized this loophole and kicked directly. The timing was good and very decisive, but the most important thing is that his entire shooting movement was too fast."

"From kicking the goal to scoring, the legs are small, the foot is strong enough, the angle is good, and the ball is very fast. After the goalkeeper reacts, it is too late to save. This is the most desperate thing."

Speaking of this, Courtois looked at De Bruyne and found that he was confused, so he could only shake his head and smile wryly.

"To put it simply, facing Su Dong, you can't make any mistakes, but which goalkeeper can make no mistakes? Especially when dealing with such sudden changes on the field, who would have thought that the defense would suddenly lose the ball? Who would have thought that Otamendi would be knocked away directly?"

De Bruyne understood now.

It is indeed very difficult to not make mistakes when you are so caught off guard.

"Su Dong is really strong!" De Bruyne also said convincingly.

They are all young players, all talented young players. They used to be a little bit arrogant, thinking that others can do it, but they can do it themselves. But after watching the game live, they will find that they are not as good as David Silva, Toni Kroos, Busquets and others, not to mention comparing with players of Su Dong’s level.

Even midfielders like Moutinho and Thiago are midfielders with good strength and extraordinary potential.

The reason why De Bruyne is willing to return to Genk, Belgium to play for another season is to consider that with his current strength, if he comes to Manchester City, it may be difficult to get a position and there are few opportunities to play. It is better to stay in Belgium and continue to practice.

People are more mad than people.

Tony Kroos was born in 1990, and Thiago was also born in [-]. One is one year older than De Bruyne, and the other is only a few months older than De Bruyne. But now, one of them is the main midfielder of Manchester City, and the other is an important substitute.

De Bruyne himself feels that in front of them, he really has no capital to show off, so he can only continue to improve himself and strive for a chance to play in Manchester City after a year.

But Courtois decided against him.

"You really decided to stay?" De Bruyne asked with concern.

Courtois is still an option.

Manchester City hopes that he will stay and compete with Joe Hart and Shay Wen, and even the club does not rule out the introduction of another powerful goalkeeper this summer, but if Courtois himself asks for a loan, it is estimated that Manchester City is also very likely to agree.

However, Courtois chose to stay.

"Yes, I want to stay and train and play with the best strikers in the world. For me, this is the best way to improve. As long as I can defend Su Dong's shot, there is no goal in this world that I cannot defend!" Courtois seemed confident.

He has many shortcomings, but one thing is the most rare.

That is, he is always so confident, so confident that he is a little arrogant.

…………

…………

In 1 minutes, they led by two goals, which was a very painful blow to Porto.

Boas also felt very helpless about the team's start.

He now has a personal experience of Ferguson's difficulties, and knows why Ferguson chose not to send someone to mark Su Dong in the FA Cup final, and did not tailor a targeted defense for him.

When Porto invests too much defensive power for Sudong, the overall defense will be weakened, especially the midfield defense, which will inevitably lead to the team's midfield losing power. Manchester City will naturally control the midfield and possession of the ball, and then form an overwhelming advantage on the scene.

After Manchester City's midfield has formed an advantage, it will send an endless stream of opportunities to the teammates in front. With Su Dong's ability, coupled with the assistance of Di Maria and Sanchez on the two wings, it will be a matter of time before scoring goals.

And like Manchester United, they are unwilling to invest too much defensive power on Su Dong, which will cause Su Dong to gain more freedom and space to play, which will disrupt Manchester United's defensive deployment.

This is a dilemma.

When the passing and possession of Sudong and Manchester City are integrated, no matter which one is guarded, it cannot be guarded.

Boas is now ashamed and annoyed. He realizes that it's not that Ferguson can't do it, but that no one can do it.

Fortunately, he had proudly thought that he could do what Ferguson couldn't do, but what happened?

He has done worse than Ferguson.

At least Ferguson didn't concede two goals in the first 1 minutes.

After realizing this, Villas-Boas began to change his tactics and let Porto take the defensive.

This is also no way.

If you defend, you may still have a chance. If you don't defend and let Manchester City continue to attack like this, they may be scored a big score every minute.

But after defending, Boas was embarrassed to find that his entire lineup was for offense, especially the midfield.

……

Manchester City didn't pay too much attention to Porto's ideas. They were still steady and courageous, and they played the game methodically according to their own rhythm and thinking.

After Porto retreated, the defense stabilized, but Manchester City still had the advantage in possession.

Especially in the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, Porto did create opportunities.

On a counterattack after a mid-court interception, James Rodriguez picked a pass behind, Falcao came in behind, grabbed the middle of Kompany and Pepe, headed the goal, and headed a far corner, but slipped out slightly and failed to score.

On the contrary, in the No. 607 minute of the second half, Manchester City once again played a wave of fierce offensive.

After Marcelo, Di Maria and David Silva cooperated continuously on the left side, Marcelo picked up the ball from the left corner of the penalty area and passed it to the front of the penalty area.

Otamendi grabbed the spot and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

James Rodriguez got the ball, turned and dribbled the ball to start a counterattack, but the ball was intercepted by Busquets in time and passed quickly to Toni Kroos.

After the German midfielder stopped the ball, he sent a diagonal pass to the right sideline, which is the weakest area of ​​Porto's defense.

Sanchez quickly cut in, stopped the ball and forced a breakthrough with the ball, crossed into the penalty area before the bottom line, and passed back to the penalty spot.

Su Dong followed up in time, inserted into the penalty spot, shot angrily, and once again pierced Porto's goal.

Three to zero!
hat trick!

There were wild cheers from the Manchester City fans in the Dublin Arena.

Su Dong opened his arms, like a glider, flying in the night sky of Dublin Arena.

Manchester City's players also rushed out of the pitch one after another, hugging Su Dong.

Three to zero, Manchester City won the game without any risk!

When Boas' Porto faced the powerful Manchester City, they didn't have any strength to resist.

Falcao and Hulk, who were blown into a flower before the game, also did not perform in front of Pepe and Kompany, the two best central defenders in the Premier League this season. Except for a header from Falcao and a shot from Hulk that created a little threat, the audience was misfired.

And with Su Dong's hat-trick, Manchester City achieved the Triple Crown!
