Chapter 281 Lore!

"Smash! Smash them to death!"

Sun Yi excitedly directed the Southampton team to frequently bombard Manchester City with high-altitude balls.

In doing so, the Southampton team's offense has become less attractive, and the ball possession rate has also declined.But the effect is very good.

Sun Yi can clearly feel that the Manchester City defenders are under a lot of psychological pressure.

This made him even more excited.

Keep hitting it.Now that I have grasped your weakness and smashed it down desperately, I don't believe that I can't kill you.

Southampton players also know that they can bully opponents with high-altitude balls, and they are all very excited.

"Boom!" The Southampton team used the tactic of crossing from the bottom during the attack, allowing Odins, who had just been up for a while, to score a header once.

The header that hit the goal post and went out of bounds, it can be seen that Odins did have a header twice.

Watching the team's defensive pressure increasing, Guardiola frowned and began to think about countermeasures.

It is not once or twice that the Manchester City team has faced such a situation, so Guardiola can quickly figure out a way to deal with it.

After coming up with a countermeasure, Guardiola took the opportunity of the dead ball to call Dellauna nearby to confess.

"This way... this way..., you go tell other people and start kicking like this, do you understand?"

"clear."

After De Bruyne returned, he began to pass on Guardiola's meaning.

Guardiola's prestige in Manchester City is really high.After his words were passed on, the expressions of the players on the Manchester City team began to firm up.

Even the guards seem to be getting a little more at ease.

"What did Guardiola tell De Bruyne to pass? It actually stabilized the mentality of the Manchester City team."

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the Manchester City players, Sun Yi was both surprised and curious.

No matter what Guardiola said, it is certain that it will not be a good thing for the Southampton team.

Now that Guardiola has responded, Sun Yi feels that he should be more vigilant.

"Steady first. Don't kick too fast."

"Van Dijk, please be careful."

Sun Yi's reminder this time was really timely.

After Sun Yi reminded, the Southampton team was first attacked fiercely and quickly by Manchester City.

Turning their heads, the Southampton team was about to organize an offensive, but they were firmly pressed by Manchester City.

High-pressure press in the frontcourt!

Sun Yi immediately discovered Manchester City's intentions.

"Watch out for their pressing. Be quicker at the back."

Sun Yi's reminder was considered timely, but he still underestimated Manchester City's determination.

Although many of Manchester City's frontcourt players are not tall enough, they have a great advantage in the frontcourt pressing.

The speed of grabbing is fast enough!
This brings more pressing pressure.

Although the Southampton team, under the reminder of Sun Yi, knew that Manchester City was pressing them in the frontcourt.But when they faced the press, they still felt tremendous pressure.

Captain Davis' performance today is indeed amazing.But his upper limit is only A level after all.At this level, you can hardly expect him to carry an entire team.

And he himself is a defensive midfielder.In terms of ball handling ability, even Prowse is not as good as him.

He didn't organize the team's possession when the whole team was under the frantic pressure of Manchester City.

As the pressure felt, Southampton began to panic a little.

Organizational cooperation has also been greatly disturbed.

The pressure that Southampton put on City was concentrated in the box.If there is a problem with the organization, the threat of natural attack will be greatly reduced.

For a while, the momentum of the Southampton team was suppressed a lot.

"Okay. This is the right way to press." After seeing that Manchester City's press was very effective, the Blue Moon fans in the stands were very happy.

The momentum on the field often ebbs and flows. Once one side's momentum is weak, the other side will take the opportunity to increase their momentum.

Feeling less pressure on the defense, Manchester City's morale is very encouraging.Gradually, he became excited again.

And as the effect of the high pressure in the front court began to show, the pressure on Southampton's defense also continued to increase.

"The momentum of the Manchester City team has risen again! There are some troubles." Dior said worriedly.

He found that the situation on the field changed dramatically in just a few minutes.

This conversion is not good for Southampton.

"Sun, we have to find a way. Otherwise, if the momentum of the Manchester City team is completely revived, it may return to the scene of the first half."

"En!" Sun Yi nodded.

Dior is right, there are indeed signs of such a development on the court.But it's really not easy for him to think of a way for a while.

Guardiola's mind turns so fast!There was such a vicious response so quickly.

This kind of on-the-spot command ability is really mind-blowing!

Sun Yi thought hard for a while, but he still couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.

And the game on the court, when he was thinking about the solution, had gradually turned in favor of Manchester City.

"The momentum of the Manchester City team has really risen. Otherwise, let's just avoid it first." Diao suggested.

What Dior actually means is to weaken the offense and strengthen the defense.

But isn't this similar to the situation in the first half?

In the first half, Southampton not only failed to hold on, but also fell behind by two goals.

This is definitely not what Sun Yi wants.

"No! This choice is not that good." Sun Yi shook his head and refused.

The refusal was a refusal, but Sun Yi knew that it was right to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Manchester City team.

Now we need to defend, but we can't repeat the mistakes of the first half.

Therefore, we still need to find a way quickly.

"What should we do? Manchester City's pressing puts a lot of pressure on us. Pressing ~ um! By the way, if we want to defend, we can also press!"

Sun Yi suddenly felt enlightened.

Manchester City is making a high-pressure press in the frontcourt. If Southampton follows suit, it will become a fight between the two sides in the midfield.

In this way, the pressure on Southampton's defense will naturally not be so great.

"Okay. Just do it!"

Sun Yi did it when he thought of it.Immediately he came onto the pitch and shouted to the players: "Touch them. We're like them, high-pressing. Let's see who beats whom!"

At Sun Yi's request, the Southampton team also started a high-pressure press.

This request should be said to be Captain Davis' favorite.

His own defensive interception ability is very strong.His power was truly revealed when he and his teammates launched a press against Manchester City.

Faced with Davis' press, even if it is as strong as Aguero, as long as he is not careful, he will be intercepted.

Driven by Davis, Southampton's defensive power continues to increase.This has greatly restricted Manchester City's offense.

This in turn boosted the morale of the Southampton team.

Although they are still under a lot of pressure when facing Manchester City's pressing, the defensive pressure on the back line has been reduced a lot.

Once you have nothing to worry about, you can naturally put more energy into other aspects.

Because, once Southampton has possession of the ball, they will be frantically pressed by Manchester City.The improvement in offense is not much.

But even so, the offensive and defensive lines of both sides gradually shifted from the front of Southampton's penalty area to near the midfield.

The battle for the midfield was thus formed.

"Come on. Manchester City. This is our home court. Get rid of them!"

"Come on, Southampton, fight them off!"

Seeing that the two sides began to fall into fierce competition in the midfield, the fans of both sides cheered desperately for their respective teams.

They know that now is the most critical time for the game.

Once who gains the advantage in the midfield competition, it is likely to take the initiative in the remaining game time.

Under the fanatical shouts of the fans on both sides, the two teams also fought more and more fiercely.Slowly entered the white heat.

This is the Etihad Stadium.We must defeat our opponents!

Manchester City's players have big winning beliefs.They vowed to keep Southampton's momentum down.

We are Southampton Saints.We have so many fans watching us.Even if this is an away game, we cannot lose to each other.

Fight!Fight them!Keep them down!
The Southampton team was also full of fighting spirit, desperately trying to fight Manchester City.

With neither side backing down, the fight in the midfield became more and more intense.

Muscles and muscles collided fiercely, causing people to turn their backs on their backs from time to time at the beginning of the field.

But even so, neither side has the slightest intention to back down.There is only one thought in my heart.Fight each other!
And for fierce confrontation, fouls are naturally indispensable.Not even a yellow card.

With the appearance of fouls and yellow cards, this not only did not reduce the physical contact between the two sides, but began to increase the smell of gunpowder.

It's a pity that the Etihad Stadium here is the home stadium of Manchester City.

Regardless of any league, the home whistle is always inevitable.

Therefore, in being punished, the Southampton team still has to suffer a bit.

This will naturally arouse the emotional dissatisfaction of the Southampton team.Especially the young and vigorous Pawar.

"Paval calm down! Control your emotions. You know, you have a yellow card on your back."

And Sun Yi stepped forward in time to ease the players' emotions.

He didn't want his staff to be reduced because of poor emotional control.The one who suffers can only be himself.

Under Sun Yi's comfort, the emotions of the Southampton players did not get out of control.

But having said that, although today's referees have more or less problems with the home whistle.But it's not particularly serious.

At least, there has not been any biased whistleblowing that will affect the direction of the game.

In this regard, Sun Yi felt that the referee on duty today was quite fair.

After the mood of the Southampton team stabilized, there was no problem of downsizing.

But there is still a problem with this situation, that is, the offense cannot be played.Most of the energy is consumed in the fight in the midfield.

Sun Yi was not particularly anxious about this.

But the Manchester City team, which is playing at home, can't do this.

Guardiola, after the 10th and [-]th minute of the game, began to constantly ask the players to strengthen their offense.

"Attack! Be firm!"

"We need to attack!"

"We are Manchester City, we want to attack, not defend!"

Under Guardiola's request, Manchester City's offense began to become tougher.The offensive attitude has also become more determined.

Even in the face of Southampton's pressing, they attacked very resolutely.Even forcibly breaking through.

Seeing such an attitude from Manchester City.Sun Yi also simply let the Southampton team strengthen their offense.

"Attack! You guys also give me some firmness!"

"Tell them that your offensive ability will not lose to anyone!"

At this point in the game, the fight is full of momentum.

If anyone backs down, the momentum will be taken away by the opponent.At that time, the game is not necessarily lost.

As a result, the game on the field slowly turned into an offensive confrontation between the two sides.

It may be due to the frenzied fighting in the midfield.The physical strength of the players on both sides has dropped very badly.

This makes their offensive efficiency far less than when they were physically fit.

Then, a balance of power was formed again.Although the number of shots is rising, there is no sign of scoring.

This is surprising.But reality is like this.

And what is even more unexpected is that the game has been deadlocked for 10 minutes.

As the game entered the stoppage time stage, and as the physical fitness of the players on both sides reached their limits, a draw seemed to be in sight.

A draw in the away game is acceptable to Sun Yi.Therefore, at this time, he is quite willing to end the game like this.

But reality played a joke on him.

When the stoppage time reached the final countdown stage, De Bruyne suddenly blasted a world wave in the [-]s.

"GOAL!"

This is lore!
