Chapter 237 Here Comes the Semifinals
Yang Daye's goal is really rare.

It came so suddenly.That's amazing.

Everyone at West Brom was celebrating wildly, not wanting to end it for a long time.

"Oh! My God! Did we really score?"

In front of the TV, countless West Brom fans were cheering.This goal really surprised them.Even after the celebration, some couldn't believe it.

Who would have thought that West Brom, who had been suppressed for most of the game, could suddenly counterattack and succeed in one fell swoop?And who dares to think, the person who scored the goal was Yang Daye who almost made people think he had changed to a defender?
Anyway, West Brom fans couldn't believe it.In fact, after West Brom started to fight back, they were still worried that this was a trap for Manchester City.He also didn't expect Yang Daye to make any contribution on the offensive end.

"1:0. Haha, we actually lead Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Haha, what a surprise."

"Defense, all return to half court."

"The bus! Come on, get the bus! Let's take the Manchester City team home on the bus."

After the surprise, many West Brom fans yelled at the TV and set up the bus.In the past, they didn't like the practice of setting up buses, but today they took the initiative to bring it up.And I was afraid that Pulis would not do this.

Pulis doesn't do that?How can it be?

Pulis never disappoints when it comes to driving the bus.After Yang Daye and others finished their goal celebration, he gave very clear instructions to the players on the field: show me the bus.

Therefore, when the game restarted, the West Brom team immediately set up a bus for Manchester City.Even Long Dong, who was at the forefront, retreated directly past the middle circle.

Leading, for the West Brom team, the next thing to do is very simple, that is to defend, and then defend.

As long as they keep the goal firmly in the remaining [-] minutes, they will win today.

"shameless!"

"Damn West Brom. You cunts, you pussies."

"Come out. If there is a goal, don't shrink back in the half court."

Seeing that the West Brom team resorted to the bus tactic again, the Manchester City fans in the entire stands were angry.They are not too angry that their team lost the ball, but this utilitarian approach to West Brom is really unacceptable.

So much so that, since the re-kick-off, whether the players of the West Brom team have the ball or are in defense, Manchester City fans have booed them.

The continuous boos over the entire Etihad Stadium are like the unreconciled curses of Manchester City fans.If booing can kill, at this moment, every player on the West Brom team probably has died dozens of times.

Boos from fans often have a very bad psychological impact on the booed players on the field.But today, no matter how booed Manchester City fans are, it can't affect the mentality of any player on the West Brom team.

Since taking the lead, the consensus of the West Brom team is to defend with all their strength.They only have one thought in mind now, to keep their own goal, even if they block the ball or get injured.

It is with this belief that the West Brom team became crazier and more desperate when defending with all their strength.

Fighting frantically, every possible opportunity will not be missed.

Any opportunity that can stop Manchester City's attack will not be missed, and any opportunity that can consume an extra second is not willing to miss.

And Yang Daye once again turned into a defender fighting fires everywhere.He appeared the most on the field, and he became the person who was booed the most by Manchester City fans.

No matter, the people of Manchester City have nothing to hate about West Brom's approach.But they have to admit that there are not many effective ways for Manchester City to face this kind of defense.

Manchester City began to attack frantically.The intensity of the offensive far exceeded any previous period of time.But most of their crazy offensives were turned into hand-to-hand combat by the tenacious West Brom team.

Seeing that the offense was not effective, the Manchester City players also became anxious.They were eager to attack and score goals, but the dense presence of the West Brom team in the penalty area made them somewhat unable to do what they wanted.This makes many of their offenses no longer patient organizations, but often end with reluctant long-range shots.

Watching the players on the field anxious like ants on a hot pot, Guardiola, who had been standing on the sidelines for a long time, couldn't help scratching his head.After scratching it a few times, I also found that I was bald, and there was nothing to scratch at all.

Frowning, Guardiola thought for a while, and finally turned around and decided to use the last substitution.

And his substitution this time is quite special.Aguero was replaced by Kolarov who played left back.

Replace the striker with a left back, is Guardiola trying to prevent another sneak attack by Yang Daye?

of course not.After Kolarov replaced Aguero, he did not play his own left back, but stood at the center.Guardiola wants to use his height of 186cm to act as a header firepower in the penalty area.

With Kolarov and Ishinacho, Manchester City now has two more high points in the penalty area.The purpose of this is obvious, which is to completely abandon the traditional ground pass and control play and change to high-altitude bombing.

And then, the Manchester City team really changed their previous style and began to play long balls like some other teams that they despised as barbaric backwards in the past.

This change of the Manchester City team did immediately pose a great threat to the West Brom team's penalty area.Their significantly increased headers have put a lot of pressure on West Brom's defense.

In order to cope with these defensive pressures, Pulis also used up the last substitution quota in a single way, and replaced Rondon, who was still full of energy, with a defender.

Longdong's physical fitness is not a problem, but he has no complaints about being replaced.After all, defense is not his strong suit, and it is a better choice to let a teammate who knows more about defense come up.He also wants to play in the semi-finals, maybe even the final.

West Brom have added a strong defensive force, which has effectively supported their defense.

But this is the Etihad Stadium after all, Manchester City is unwilling to be eliminated by the weak West Brom at home anyway.

After the West Brom team completed the substitution, Manchester City completely gave up defense.Except for the goalkeeper, they all overwhelmed the halftime, and they also let the central defender Stones, who has strong high-altitude ability, rush up.

"Bah, bah, bah..." Manchester City kept sending high-altitude balls to West Brom's penalty area one by one, and then the tall players from both sides competed desperately for the top.

Manchester City were bombarding West Brom's penalty area desperately and brought several threatening headers.

To defend against high-altitude bombing, Yang Daye's height was not very useful in the penalty area, so he began to stop the opponent from hitting high balls outside the penalty area.

Manchester City are desperately attacking, West Brom are desperately defending.Everyone on both sides is fighting tirelessly.This makes the intensity of the field not like entering the end of the game.On the contrary, it was as intense as the early stage of the game.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and with the continuous cheering and cheering of the Manchester City fans, the Manchester City team continued to attack wildly.It's just that it's always a little short of the goal.

Before you know it, the normal game time is over and it enters stoppage time.In the 5-minute stoppage time, Manchester City attacked even more desperately, and even Bravo gave up goalkeeping and rushed up to participate in the attack.

But West Brom's defense is too tenacious.No matter how Manchester City attacked, it was destroyed by them in every way.

When Yang Daye blocked Manchester City's high pass with his foot and cleared to the frontcourt with a big foot, the referee finally blew the whistle.

"Wow! It's finally over."

Yang Daye collapsed on the ground exhausted before he had time to cheer.He lay on the ground with big characters, and after taking a few deep breaths, the joy of victory appeared on his face:

"I'm here for the semifinals."
