Football: From becoming a god-level striker

Everton hit a few counterattacks, and Lukaku's ball protection and breakthrough ability are indeed very strong.

But because the speed of his teammates was too slow, he was alone in the frontcourt, running all the way, seemingly dangerous, and even made Everton fans feel excited, but he never had a chance to hit the goal.

On the other hand, Manchester City, whether it is Silva, or Gundogan, who has a deep premise, or De Bruyne, can control and pass the ball very well.

If it weren't for the concentration of Everton's defenders, who not only kept interfering with Zhao Gang, pinched back and forth, and destroyed the ball in advance, there might have been a big problem.

"The current situation is very bad for Everton. The two defensive midfielders seem to be unable to find their own positions on the field. They retreat very deep. The defensive position and the defender are highly overlapped. The offense cannot be well connected. It's like a headless chicken.

Their initial defensive task should be Zhao, but now that Zhao appears on the Everton back line, the two defensive midfielders seem to have lost their target, allowing Silva to easily take the ball and organize the attack several times.

Their defense is extremely lacking in hierarchy, and it will be a matter of time before they are penetrated. "

Stones made a sudden long pass from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, Silva dribbled the ball forward again from the middle.

McCarthy and Barry were directly taken away by Sterling and De Bruyne.

The two did not conduct zone defense, but man-to-man, which gave Silva a lot of space.

"The role of the defensive midfielder is not to mark people! It needs a wide range of running interceptions, how can Silva be given such a large room for movement?" The commentary is a bit difficult to understand.

At this time, Zhao Gang suddenly retreated to get the ball. In the first ten minutes of the game, he was playing games with Everton's defenders. This time, he suddenly changed his running direction.

Everton's central defender Cargill moved forward quickly, ready to interfere with Zhao Gang.

"Zhao Gang's back to the ball, this kind of situation is really rare, this is something that Aguero is better at, let's see... huh? Passed???"

"After Zhao Gang received the ball, he didn't stop, he just tapped his heel, pierced the crotch of Cargill who just came up, turned around, and the ball passed!"

Cargill felt the ball pass through his legs, and when he looked down subconsciously, Zhao Gang had already turned around and started to accelerate!

"The ball passed very smoothly. Zhao Gang faced Galloway and was still dribbling forward. Galloway didn't dare to grab it easily. He was waiting for the support of his teammates, Coleman and Barry's help defense!"

There was only one back line left, and all three people stopped in front of Zhao Gang. Saneka rushed over between Zhao Gang and De Bruyne. Move right.

Zhao Gang suddenly changed his center of gravity, the three of them were half a beat slower, and there was a gap on the right. It was difficult to break through, but the ball was enough to pass.

Zhao Gang pushed the outer instep of his right foot, and the football quickly went forward to the right.

The three turned their heads to look at the same time, and Sterling, who had rushed to the horse, led the ball and rushed into the penalty area.

Such a big space? ?

Sterling pulled aside just now, didn't someone pass by? ?

The Everton defender was blindsided and quickly chased back.

Goalkeeper Howard faced Sterling who was rushing from the right, shaking his body.

After adjusting his pace, Sterling lifted his foot.

boom!

The football soared into the sky, hit the crossbar, and bounced into the goal!

1: 0!

Manchester City, who played at home, took the lead.

brush!

Sterling's classic sliding kneeling went beyond the bottom line.

"Barry, there is a serious problem with this position. First, he was taken away by Sterling, leaving a huge space for Silva. At the critical moment, he stopped following Sterling, and ran to defend Zhao, Zhao The pass ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh does Barry take Cho for himself? Think Cho can't see the open Sterling??

What kind of tactics are these! ! "Everton's commentator, watching Barry make repeated mistakes, his sense of position is extremely poor, and almost cursed.

The Everton head coach stood on the sidelines, his face not very good.

The pre-match arrangement required Barry to help defend Zhao Gang, so when he saw Zhao Gang was about to break through, he rushed over.

But Zhao Gang's position is no longer in the midfield. He is already in front of the penalty area, and he can enter the penalty area with one pass and find Sterling.

You threw Sterling, in that position, which teammate can help you defend?

"Well, don't tell me, in Zhao Gang's position, his technique of holding the ball with his back is quite good. He passed Cargill directly. Although he fell into the double-team of the opponent's defenders, his passing and vision are too strong. Easy to find Sterling!

As a center forward with a single arrow, although the number of times he has the ball has decreased, he has become more threatening. After he has the ball, the entire Everton defender will be thrown into chaos. "

Whether it's De Bruyne, Silva Gundogan, or even Sterling has a very good pass, Zhao Gang stays in the middle, and there will be no situation where he can't get the ball.

He can grab points, or he can support the ball, making Everton's defenders exhausted and don't know how to defend.

"After Zhao Gang reduced the chances of touching the ball, he didn't feel uncomfortable. He still showed his very strong ability to distribute the ball through these few opportunities to touch the ball!

He is standing in the center position. Although the previous grabbing point is indeed a bit poor, his coping ability, breaking through and scoring the ball can create a very threatening attack!

Manchester City took the lead in No.208 minutes! "

Lukaku kicked off with another classic reverse foot, and then rushed forward, obviously trying to make a small cooperation.

Seeing that Lukaku was double-teamed by Stones and Otamendi, it was difficult to find opportunities, so he could only find Barkley with a long pass.

Everton's one of the few wing attacks, Barkley's breakthrough ability is quite good, stepping on a bicycle, constantly moving forward, trying to break through the defense, but he has not fully demonstrated his ability, Gundogan appeared alertly Next to him, step down directly.

Although he didn't grab it, it still affected Barkley. Barkley hurriedly played the ball and looked for Clive.

The football pass was a bit off. The extremely excited Sterling rushed back from the frontcourt to defend, and just stretched out his foot and broke the ball.

He turned his head and started sprinting.

Lukaku spread his hands, a little out of breath.

I'm here, open, Barkley, you don't pass the ball, you step on the bicycle, and you make a mistake after you step on the bicycle!

Really too much!

Manchester City's midfielder pressed forward, and Everton's players quickly shrank their formation.

Sterling has already dribbled the ball across the halfway line, running wildly.

He watched two players from Everton approaching, ready to double-team him. Sterling, who had just scored a goal, was full of confidence. He imitated Lukaku's movements and made a burst, and then prepared to use his speed to throw off the defender. .

As a result, as soon as he rushed up, he was squeezed by someone. Galloway stretched his foot ahead of time and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

This counterattack was considered a failure, but Sterling was very vigilant. He didn't stop for a moment, ran outside the sideline, picked up the ball and sent it directly to Gundogan who came up from the edge.

Gundogan is not as fast as Sterling, but the level of passing is quite good.

The Everton players saw the ball go out of the touchline, and they relaxed for a moment. When they reacted quickly and rushed to Gundogan, Gundogan had already pushed the ball, and Sterling started sprinting along the touchline again.

"Sterling's speed is really good!"

This time, Sterling passed a kick to himself two seconds later. Galloway did not squeeze the position, and Sterling rushed into the dangerous area with a swipe.

"Sterling!"

Seeing that the defender in front of Sterling is in place, Sterling's footwork is still a bit worse than that of Zhao Gang, and he really has no confidence in using his center of gravity to shake his opponent away.

But he was very fast, rushing to the baseline with the ball.

"It's still moving forward, there's no angle, and I can't squeeze in!"

The defender rushed over in a straight line, Sterling was fast and out of the way, but it was absolutely impossible to break through the bottom line and enter the small penalty area.

His passing vision is also not good, and now he doesn't know where his teammates are at all, he only sees Everton players in white in the penalty area.

But here we are, and there is no turning back.

He only cares about an inverted triangle, regardless of whether he has someone or not, he passes first!

The inverted triangle entered the penalty area, and Cargill and Coleman, who rushed back, rushed over quickly, preparing to control the football.

Both of them saw each other, and suddenly they seemed to be short-circuited, and they gave way to each other in the restricted area!

Like a bolt of lightning, the blue figure passed between the two with a swipe.

The two hurriedly stretched their legs at the same time. Zhao Gang had already kicked the ball with all his strength, and then he was tripped by the two of them.

The two hurriedly stretched out their hands to indicate that they did not foul!

And the entire Etihad Stadium has fallen into cheers!

The Everton manager was jumping and cursing from the sidelines.

Are you two idiots? ?

Distracted in the restricted area? ? ?

Why did the ball score and raise your hand to indicate that you didn't foul? ? ?

Thinking of the referee blowing the ball out and awarding a penalty? ?

Goalkeeper Howard stood on the goal line with a dark face, and the football rolled out of the net and stopped at his feet.

2: 0!

"The ball went in!! Sterling's inverted triangle pass, Coleman and Cargill's clearance made a huge mistake! These two people gave in to each other!"

"They probably didn't expect Zhao Gang's speed to be so fast, or maybe they didn't realize Zhao Gang's position at all, or they didn't expect that Zhao Gang could squeeze in and kick the ball when two people protected the ball in that situation! Sterling This pass has already failed, there is no teammate to respond, but Everton's defensive players also have problems, can they be distracted in the penalty area?"

Zhan Lu saw that Zhao Gang was risking injury, and the football was under the double-team control of Coleman and Cargill. He only had such a short opportunity, so he rushed over without hesitation.

It is this kind of preparation at all times, and the desire to attack at all times, in exchange for a goal.

If an ordinary person sees that the ball is not within their own control and the ball appears within the opponent's control, they may subconsciously think that the opponent will directly clear the siege, and it is impossible to rush over.

As for Zhao Gang, he didn't go to fight after seeing the two distracted. At that time, Coleman and Cargill had already had time to react.

Zhao Gang started it ahead of time. Under normal circumstances, this should be a waste of energy to run, but Zhao Gang did not give up.

This is not the first time he has fought like this.

It was several failures before, and finally created this opportunity and hit the ball in!

"Hey, it was a game yesterday. A player ran a bit in front of the penalty area. A pass from his teammate missed behind him. Instead of chasing it immediately, he complained about the route of the pass from his teammate. In fact, there was no defender behind him at all, if he turned around and chased back immediately, the ball was almost a one-handed ball, but he complained, and the defender who came back kicked the ball to clear the siege, hey!" Zhan Lu If you think about it, you will get angry. If you are not good at technology and attitude, what should you do? ?

"Hehehe, I think even if he catches the ball, he can't score it alone." Of course Director Zhang also watched the game. Although he was laughing, what he said was really full of disappointment.

"Hahaha..." Zhan Lu shook his head and smiled wryly.

Zhao Gang has achieved what he has achieved now. He kept scoring goals in the Premier League and became a phenomenal player. He relied on talent, technology, hard work, and an attitude of always being prepared on the court!

Those uncles are envious of Zhao Gang, but they also have face?

Zhan Lu looked at Zhao Gang who got up from the ground and celebrated with his teammates, feeling relieved and longing but also sad.

I am gratified that Longguo has produced such a champion.

Looking forward, Zhao Gang is likely to be selected for the next national team, because Lippi has already taken office!

Sad, Zhao Gang's attitude, this kind of energy into the national team, playing with teammates like those landlords, will it cause brain trouble?
