Chapter 423 The Crucial Victory

When the FA arranges the English League Cup and the FA Cup, it often inserts the game directly between the two league games, regardless of the feelings of the team, which directly leads to the extremely strange interval between the Premier League teams. .

Take a team like Manchester City that needs to play in the Champions League. Since the start of the English League Cup and the Champions League group stage, it has been a week of double matches for several weeks, or even a week of triple matches.

After the Carabao Cup match against Swindon, after Manchester City rushed back to Manchester from the away game, they only had two days of rest and training time, and their buttocks were still hot, and they had to rush to London again to prepare for the tenth round of the Premier League.

Facing such an intensive schedule, not to mention the exhaustion of the game, even the journey is enough to make the players exhausted.

So Mancini had to start planning ahead. If the FA Cup starts, should Manchester City give up some unimportant games.

Otherwise, in a league without a winter break like the Premier League, the gradually cold weather will dramatically increase the chances of players getting injured.

Just when Mancini began to think about this issue, the time soon came to November 11, when Manchester City came to London's Upton Park Stadium to play away against West Ham United.

The Hammers, who once made their opponents "frightened" in the Premier League, fell into the British Championship in 11. After a year of hard work this year, they returned to the Premier League through the promotion play-offs.

Under the leadership of the upgraded coach Allardyce, West Ham has had an impressive start this season, ranking ninth in the standings with four wins, two draws and three losses in nine league rounds.

Such a result is quite good for a newly promoted horse.

Annampton, who is also newly promoted, sits firmly at the bottom of the standings.

Look at those teams that are under pressure by West Ham United, Newcastle, Liverpool, which one is not a strong team.

Therefore, although West Ham United is a newly promoted horse, they cannot treat the ball as an ordinary newly promoted horse.

Even though the second Champions League match with Ajax will be ushered in three days later, Mancini dare not carry out a large-scale rotation in order to win.

Except for Ibrahimovic who played the whole game in the English League Cup and sat on the bench, the other main players started to play, which shows that Mancini attaches great importance to West Ham United.

However, after the relegation of players and the training of Allardyce, the rough and tough style of this West Ham United team has somewhat faded.

Today, when the top teams in the Premier League are becoming more technical, you can see the simple and direct traditional style of the Premier League in this West Ham United team.

The team led by Allardyce seldom sees delicate passing and control, and it is often simple and rough passing, passing the ball forward.

Allardyce once said in an interview that he always requires players to pass the ball forward immediately, even when facing a better defensive Premier League team.

Because Allardyce believes that a fast forward pass can create better scoring opportunities, and too many crosses and back passes will slow down the offensive rhythm, allowing the opposing players to have time to organize their defense.

This kind of thinking is completely different from the mainstream tactics in European football today.

After Barcelona's successful rise, using continuous pass and control to form a local advantage, and then tearing through the defense to complete the offense, the concept of overall football has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even in Manchester City, where the pace of the game is fast, Mancini attaches great importance to possession of the ball. Kicking the ball out and attacking quickly can only be seen on one person, and that is when Yang Mo holds the ball.

And even Yang Mo had to cooperate with his teammates in most cases, instead of just using his own abilities.

When Yang Mo is on the court, he helps the team far more than when he relies on himself.

If he can win the game in cooperation with his teammates, why would he bother to do it alone?
Although Mancini is not a top coach, he was ridiculed by many people for winning the double crown last season because of Yang Mo's performance.

But no matter how you say it, Mancini holds the trump card of Manchester City in his hand, and he has placed his main lineup very carefully against a team like West Ham United, so the victory is obvious.

Only 7 minutes into the first half of the game, Yang Mo and Aguero, the most terrifying pair of blue wings in the Premier League today, helped Manchester City open the scoring.

Facing West Ham United's double-team defense against him, Yang Mo only made a cross offensive run with Aguero, and West Ham United was at a loss.

The terrifying speed cooperation of the two made West Ham United unable to adapt at all. After Aguero suddenly entered the penalty area, Yang Mo's light pick pass helped Aguero complete the goal.

"Beautiful goal, West Ham United has no resistance at all against Yang Mo and Aguero's speed."

"Especially the defense against Yang Mo. After Yang Mo's cross-lane attack, he completely failed. There is no way. This is the gap in player ability."

"Unable to restrain Yang Mo, coupled with the single tactics, West Ham United's game is dangerous..."

Penguin Sports, Zhan Jun obviously has no hope for West Ham United.

After scoring the first goal, West Ham United launched an attack impatiently. Their tactics of constantly passing the ball forward were completely restrained by Manchester City's strong defense.

In the 9th and [-]th minute of the first half, Thiago Silva intercepted West Ham United's offense in front of the penalty area and sent the ball to the midfielder with a long pass.

Nasri, who received the ball, made another diagonal pass and handed the ball to Yang Mo in front of the penalty area.

Yang Mo received the ball, turned around, and saw two defenders who came forward and wanted to double-team, and a goalkeeper with a nervous look.

He faked a breakthrough first, then when the defender moved his body, he pulled the ball, out of space, and kicked the goal.

The football arced quite nicely and went straight into the dead corner to make it 0-2.

After leading by two goals, Manchester City's offense in the first half did not end.

In 37 minutes, Zabaleta took the ball forward from the left and passed the ball diagonally to Silva in front of the penalty area.

After Silva saw that Yang Mo had entered the penalty area, he decisively sent the ball into the penalty area with a through ball. Yang Mo pushed the ball along the ball path, scored again and scored twice.

At this time, the score on the field has reached 0-3. Manchester City is at West Ham United's home court, completely rubbing West Ham United on the ground, showing their strength to everyone.

The three-goal lead was maintained until the end of the first half.

After the intermission, Mancini made personnel substitutions. Rodwell, Nastasic, and Maicon played one after another, while Yang Mo, Zabaleta, and Barry were replaced for a rest.

In the second half of the game, Yaya Toure assisted Nasri to score a goal, and West Ham United relied on a corner kick to score a face-saving goal.

In the end, the game ended 1-4, and Manchester City won their sixth consecutive game in the Premier League. With a total of eight wins, one draw and one loss, they ranked first with 26 points.

In this round of the league, Chelsea was tied by Swansea due to an upset. Not only was Manchester City took the opportunity to open the gap, but it was also overtaken by Manchester United in one fell swoop.

After ten league rounds in the 12/13 season, the top two in the Premier League standings have become the familiar duo of Manchester City. I thought they were going to compete for hegemony, but it feels like they are going back to the familiar red-blue duel.

After the league ended, the Manchester City team hurried back to Manchester.

Because there are only two days of preparation time, they will usher in the second Champions League group match with Ajax at home.

For Manchester City, the poor record in the first three games makes them have to do their best in the next three group games, otherwise it will become very dangerous to qualify for the group.

For Ajax, although there is little hope of advancing, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they still want to fight.

Even if you can't qualify for the group stage, you must try your best to win and strive for the third place in the group to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Therefore, when Manchester City played against Ajax at home on November 11, it was quite intense.

The two teams that wanted to win were all the main players. They fought hand-to-hand, and the bayonets were red. The two teams fought a hearty battle.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City scored the first goal by Yang Mo in the 7th minute, but only 5 minutes later, Ajax relied on Siem de Jong's long-range shot to equalize the score.

After that, in the first half, Manchester City and Ajax scored another goal and entered the second half with a score of 2-2.

After the start of the second half, the two teams scored goals again, making the score 3-3.

The 3-3 score was maintained until the final stage of the game. Just when everyone thought the game would end in a draw, Yang Mo stood up.

In the 87th minute of the game, Manchester City won a corner kick.

Silva took the corner kick and sent the ball to the point behind the penalty area.

Just standing here, Yang Mo, who was double-teamed by Ajax, looked at the height of the football and did not choose to stop the ball.

He jumped up and swept his left foot from the outside to the inside. A scorpion in the air swung its tail in a strange and amazing way, and swept the ball directly into the goal.

After scoring the goal, under the command of Yang Mo, the stands of Old Trafford set off a huge blue wave that made everyone crazy!
In the final minutes, despite Ajax's desperate attack, they failed to equalize the score and lost the game 4-3.

And Yang Mo, relying on this scorpion kick to kill the game, helped Manchester City win a precious victory!

In this game, Yang Mo scored twice and scored a lore. He is the well-deserved best player in the game!
At this time, the results of another match between Dortmund and Real Madrid came, and Manchester City realized how important their victory was.

2-2, Dortmund finally drew with Real Madrid after a fierce fight.

Because of this draw, Manchester City surpassed Real Madrid in points in Group D and took the initiative to qualify.

After winning an exciting Champions League victory, Mancini waved his hand and gave the players a day off.

After all, with the intensive schedule for several consecutive days, what the players need most is rest.

But for Yang Mo, even if he is resting, he must complete the basic training required by the system to ensure his competitive state.

After waking up in the morning and completing training in the gym, he went shopping with his girlfriend in the afternoon and sprinkled dog food to the general public in Manchester, which attracted many media to follow up, resulting in the cancellation of the candlelight dinner plan in the evening.

After a simple one-day vacation, Yang Mo returned to training again.

As a professional player, especially a professional player in the Premier League, under the glamorous professional appearance, the life of a player is actually quite boring and boring.

If a hobby becomes a job, it is destined not to be a happy thing.

The reason why professions are powerful is that they spend unimaginable energy on this matter.

Some ordinary people often have a feeling that their profession is nothing more than that when they watch football, and they have the illusion that I can do it myself.

If you want to smash this illusion, you only need to let it set foot on the official court and kick a ball.

Professional ball games and amateur ball games are completely two sports.

With high-intensity physical confrontation and fierce competitive rhythm, ordinary people may not even be able to find their position when they go up, so they can only passively run with the ball, and then quickly exhaust their physical energy, completely dumbfounded.

The difference between all these lies in those trainings.

In a fierce game, every pass, every defense, and every move has to go through countless times of training, how can it be done just by imagination.

At the beginning, Yang Mokong had the body and skills. When he went to Eindhoven for trial training, he was kicked by Eindhoven's youth echelon.

If there is no system for cheating, maybe Yang Mo is hanging out with some Chinese Super League team this time.

After just two days of training, on November 11th, when Everbright Chinese people celebrated "Singles' Day", the No. 11 round of the Premier League kicked off, and Manchester City ushered in their rival Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Tottenham's performance at the beginning of this season is not bad, with 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in ten rounds, accumulating 17 points, temporarily ranking sixth in the standings.

But even so, when Tottenham faced Manchester City, which had won six consecutive league victories and was in hot form, it was still a bit overwhelming.

Especially Manchester City's striker lineup, they played so badly that Tottenham wanted to die.

In positional warfare, with Ibrahimovic, the super center, as the fulcrum, and a quick counterattack, the blue wings formed by Yang Mo and Aguero are not blocked by many teams in today's football.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Yang Mo broke through from the side to attract Tottenham players to defend, and then passed the ball to Silva in the middle.

Silva saw that the defense in the penalty area was empty because of Yang Mo, so he decisively passed the ball to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area with a through ball.

After Ibrahimovic received the ball, he dunked and shot the ball with his long legs, and immediately scored. Manchester City led Tottenham 1-0.

And Silva, who made an assist, also completed his tenth assist this season, firmly sitting on the throne of the Premier League assist king.

After scoring the first goal, with the help of Tottenham's eagerness to equalize the score, Manchester City quickly incorporated the game into a familiar fast-paced attack.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Yang Mo received a pass from Zabaleta from the left back, turned and volleyed and scored his first goal of the game, extending the score to 2-0.

After entering the second half, Manchester City scored again just after the game resumed.

Yang Mo launched the attack from the left, made a continuous breakthrough and made a cross pass to the goal. Ibrahimovic stepped forward and scored successfully.

After the goal, Ibrahimovic was very excited, because this was the first time he scored twice in the league. How could Swindon's double in the English League Cup be compared to the double scored in the league? sense of accomplishment.

After the score was 3-0, Mancini replaced Yang Mo with Nasri so that Yang Mo could have a good rest.

After the game, Yang Mo will go to Iraq overnight to gather with the national team to prepare for the world preliminaries on November 11 two days later.

And just after the world preliminaries, he had to rush back to Manchester overnight, because November 11th is the time for the No. 17 round of the Premier League.

In just seven days, spanning two continents and playing three games, Mancini must consider Yang Mo's physical fitness.

But just after Yang Mo left the field, Tottenham seized the opportunity to get back a goal, and finally let the game end with a score of 3-1.
