Football: From becoming a god-level striker

Everton in the away game was a little impetuous after being scored consecutively.

Is Manchester City really unstoppable now?

Zhao Gang, who is best at passing the ball, now doesn't catch the ball, doesn't organize, just stands in the front and waits to be fed, how can he defeat his opponent so easily?

Everton's players have been passively defending, and the back line is involved by Sterling and Zhao Gang, so the offensive firepower is a bit weak. With the interception of Gundogan Fernandinho in the midfield, the difference between Zhao Gang and Sterling in the frontcourt Stopping interference makes it difficult for Everton to transition to the frontcourt smoothly even if they get the ball in the backcourt.

However, it is impossible for Manchester City to maintain this high-level press all the time.

At four and 10 minutes into the game, the Everton players finally had a chance to breathe.

After Manchester City led by two goals, the press relaxed.

This allowed Everton's players to start sorting out their offense and be able to hold the ball in midfield.

Instead of looking for Lukaku, they were able to pass the ball smoothly through the midfield and started some methodical attacks.

Everton's formation began to move forward slowly, playing steadily, trying to control the football and not easily wasting offensive opportunities.

Lukaku on the wing asked for the ball, and the pass from his teammate passed immediately.

Center forward Lukaku, what he likes to do most is to pull sideways and explode crosses.

With his tonnage and speed combined with his age, even in the Premier League it is difficult to guard him.

Lukaku started quickly, and Stones in the middle quickly cooperated with the wing to block Lukaku's passing route.

Lukaku, who was trapped in the double-team, couldn't see his teammates. He was just about to pass back, and the blue Fernandinho was in his eyes. There was no way. Lukaku gritted his teeth and squeezed hard. Run straight to the bottom line.

I'm upside down!

I passed the restricted area!boom!

Me... Where are my teammates? ?

Lukaku passed the ball in an inverted triangle, but Stones stretched his legs and did not stop it.

Otamendi, near the penalty spot, kicked the ball out of the penalty area.

Lukaku frowned, look at other people's central defenders, and then look at our central defenders, they don't even know how to clear the penalty area.

The football was held between two people, and someone kicked it in.

"This inverted triangle kick is quite a threat, Claywell, Kone didn't grab the ball, allowing Otamendi to clear the siege in advance, otherwise it might really be a high-quality shot.

Lukaku is a great threat, which is really difficult to guard against! "

Otamendi kicked the ball out, and Everton's ball was still on the outside.

Seeing the opportunity, Lukaku ran all the way from the baseline back into the penalty area and directly squeezed Otamendi away!

Powerful.

Barry on the outside looked at the right time and hoisted the ball into the penalty area with one kick!

Lukaku stood inside, rising from the ground, with his head on the football.

"Lukaku header!!"

Manchester City fans stood up in fear, Lukaku was still fierce, Manchester City's defenders were not tall enough in front of him, and their strength was also a bit weak.

Air defense capability is considered Manchester City's weakness.

It's a pity that the ball was so upright that it was directly hugged by Bravo.

"That's right, Bravo's pass!"

Bravo threw the ball without hesitation.

Normally, he would look for Zhao Gang. Today, Zhao Gang was placed in the center position. When he saw the opportunity to counterattack, he ran to the front.

But Silva trailed behind.

Bravo passes the ball to a half-turned Silva.

Silva took the ball and ran for a few steps. When a defender approached, he kicked straight and found Zhao Gang who was rushing and then suddenly retreated to get the ball.

Everton's defense was not stable yet, so they swiped and rushed towards Zhao Gang, trying to prevent him from continuing to break forward.

After Zhao Gang took two steps, the defensive players blocked in front.

"Everton's defense is the same as before. It's not once or twice, completely emptying Sterling! How could Zhao not see this kind of opportunity! I beg you, don't miss anyone! "The Everton commentator was on the verge of tears.

Over there, Sterling charged again.

The ball passed by Zhao Gang was so fast that the defender had no time to react, and directly passed through the gap between the two!

This ball leads Sterling's running position!

Sterling hardly needed to adjust, he ran two steps forward, and kicked up!

"Sterling hit the goal from a small angle, oops, what a pity, it was saved by Howard!"

Howard, who was extremely concentrated, hit the ball with both hands, and the ball flew to the middle.

There was chaos in the middle, and Zhao Gang, two of Everton's central defenders, rushed over together!

However, the two central defenders started to run back after observing Sterling's shot and found that the ball had been saved. Zhao Gang had already started when Sterling shot.

Regardless of whether Sterling will score the ball or not, Zhao Gang is ready to make a follow-up shot.

If the ball is scored, or is saved by the goalkeeper, or even does not bounce to the position where Zhao Gang ran, Zhao Gang will be regarded as running in vain.

However, Zhao Gang's position is center forward, and his biggest task is to score goals, to capture opportunities!

Zhao Gang, who was ahead of the two central defenders, had only one more position, but the two central defenders had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Gang, who was overtaken by the flying football, kicked it into the door!

The two central defenders pursued by Everton supported their knees, lowered their heads, and gasped for breath.

This guy's judgment on where the ball falls is too good!

In fact, Zhao Gang was just one step ahead. He didn't know that the ball would be hit, and he couldn't judge where the ball would land.

But he just rushed over!

It can be said to be luck!

But luck is always for those who are prepared!

"3:0! Zhao Gang's supplementary shot in front of the goal! The ball was not offside. Although he was one position ahead of the central defender, he was still behind at the moment Sterling shot! After the ball was saved, he was already At the forefront!

This kind of goal, any professional player can score it with a high probability, but it absolutely needs the top striker to run out of this kind of opportunity! "

Indeed, many goals look easy, even mediocre, but the shot opportunity before the goal is the most difficult to grasp!

"Two goals, this game is the least time Zhao has touched the ball in the Premier League, not even Fernandinho, Otamendi and other defenders for a long time!

His position allows him to hardly participate in the team's downfall, but he has also become Manchester City's most dangerous player!

Almost all of Manchester City's dangerous attacks were initiated or ended by him!

This is the adaptability of a top star!

Yes, he is not an ordinary player, nor is he an excellent professional player, he is the top star!

As long as he is on the field, even if he is standing on his own goal line, the opponent cannot let him go. It only takes one negligence, and he can make the opponent pay a heavy price!

Zhao!Dragon Kingdom Zhao! ! ! "

Sterling ran to Zhao Gang and expressed his thanks to him.

Because Sterling has not played in the starting lineup for a long time and his condition is not at his best, Zhao Gang still chooses to trust him several times and pass the ball to him.

This kind of trust makes Sterling very grateful.

In this game, there was not much cooperation between Zhao Gang and De Bruyne. Instead, they repeatedly went to find Sterling on the wing.

It is only one reason why Zhao Gang helped Sterling find his status. The bigger reason is that when Zhao Gang got the ball, he was already in a dangerous area, and it was the best choice to pass it to Sterling who was running.

Zhao Gang himself is Manchester City's best passer, why bother to pass to De Bruyne and let De Bruyne organize the offense?

Sterling's running position is top-notch. Zhao Gang in the middle is different from Zhao Gang in the wing. He can find Sterling faster and more stealthily.

No transition in the middle is needed.

Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, nodded, of course he could see this more clearly.

He wanted to try this style of play a long time ago, so Aguero and Zhao Gang were frequently switched positions before.

It's just that Aguero's side impact is still worse than Sterling's, and the effect is not as good as expected.

Now put on Sterling, the effect is much better.

Even if the opponent can easily see this simple tactic, it is still quite difficult to defend against it.

Although Zhao Gang is in the center position, there is almost no header competition.

But his support, breakthrough, and passing.Simply amazing.

You don't need to touch the ball too much, use your own running position, once the ball reaches his feet, it is a dangerous signal!

It chills opponents even more than when he held the ball in his previous position.

Guardiola touched his chin, maybe finding two young players with stronger impact in the midfield will make Manchester City's style of play more varied.

Now it's time to find a new candidate.

Next season, Manchester City will become even more impeccable!

Guardiola is no longer in the mood to continue watching. Everton's previous defense, because Zhao Gang's position is advanced, has already stretched his hips to the point of failure. Everton has no chance in this game.

The next game, an away game against Real Madrid, is what Guardiola should consider carefully.
