Football: From becoming a god-level striker

By this time, baseball fans were downcast.

Except for those fans who were determined to regard Zhao Gang as a baseball player and whose heads were not bright enough, the hearts of slightly more normal fans were almost broken.

This season, they have been comparing each other.

Think of Zhao Gang as Sun Xingmin's biggest enemy in the Premier League.

While shouting that Zhao Gang is not good enough, they secretly observed Zhao Gang's game.

Every goal, every assist, every wonderful dribble, confrontation and so on.

Every time I see these, I feel worse than killing them.

Even if you are stubborn, you have to admit it.

In terms of performance on the court, Sun Xingmin is far behind Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang's choice on the court is almost impossible to make mistakes.

His character, his technique, his charisma, are really so likable.

To borrow a sentence from Pochettino, everyone loves Zhao Gang.

Many fans even think that Pochettino, when he evaluates Ali, is basically evaluating Zhao Gang.

It's just that as the head coach of Tottenham, he can't say it blatantly, he can only use Ali's name to speak his mind.

Those in Yingguo who are still watching the game at this time are real fans, not fans of a certain player. They are enjoying the strong dialogue of the Premier League.

"Hey, we have a lot of good players, but none of them are the core in the top league!

In the past, Sun Xingmin in the baseball country made those little stickmen shout on the Internet every day, but I didn't expect that the dragon country could have such a player..."

"Our country's football level is 20 years ahead of Longguo. As a result, Zhao Gang is almost wiped out. Judging from the last time Longguo played against Qatar, we may not be able to beat them."

"A core can really refresh the whole team and make up for a big technical deficiency!"

"The players from Longguo and Baseball have performed so well in the Premier League. When will we have one?"

"Sun Xingmin has grown up rapidly in the Premier League, and Zhao Gang...has made it through in the Premier League. I didn't expect that one day, I would envy Long Guo's football. There is no reason to say it."

"When I was in Dragon Country, I knew too much about the status of Dragon Country football. The fans scolded the players and the Football Association every day. Now they don't scold them, they are all boasting..."

"That's not true. I also stayed in the Dragon Kingdom. The people of the Dragon Kingdom can be irritable. They can argue about everything. They have to compete in any field. When they talk about football, they have nothing to say. Now it's broken. Can't hold them back."

"In the past, they envied our players, envied our overseas players from the five major leagues, envied our football youth training, envied our football level, and envied our qualifying for the World Cup.

Now, looking at the situation, something big is about to happen.Longguo is also very likely to qualify for the World Cup this time. "

"Can one person have such a big influence? Can a team be brought to this level??"

"It is impossible for a star player to bring a trash team to a top team, but it is still possible to bring a poor team to a mid-level level.

After all, the players of the Dragon Kingdom team can be regarded as professional players. As long as they are willing to fight and dare to fight, they are quite competitive in Asia.In the past, they were just too scattered. Now that they have a backbone, their spirit is different. The overall level may still be not good, but it is definitely not the garbage team before. "

"If things go on like this, even if the Dragon Country's youth training is bad, as long as Zhao Gang is still in the national team, the competitiveness of the Dragon Country will not be much worse in the next ten years. Once they actively produce some good seedlings, it is really possible revival."

……

Pochettino desperately needs his midfielders to stand up and deliver the shells to the frontcourt.

However, Ali had some problems with his performance. Eriksson's best long pass was also blocked by Fernandinho, which made it difficult to give full play to Sun Xingmin's speed advantage.

You can only find Sun Xingmin through short passes. In this way, Kyle Walker has already found a good position, and it is almost impossible for Sun Xingmin to find a better opportunity.

And once Tottenham lose the ball during the attack, Zhao Gang, who is in the midfielder position, can quickly get the ball and hit a counterattack.

Manchester City do not need to advance step by step.

He appeared in that position and seemed to have fewer offensive opportunities, but in fact Manchester City's frontcourt players will get more opportunities.

Pochettino is desperate for a change, but doesn't know where to start.

The current lineup may be the best, with speed and impact.

If this Tottenham team still can't beat Manchester City, he really has no other cards in his hand.

On the court, the Manchester City players stood in a defensive position according to Guardiola's deployment.

Before the game, Guardiola studied Tottenham's style of play.

Tottenham's most commonly used style of play is long passes from the midfield and crosses from the wing.

They have a very capable center and a fast horse on the wing. Ali and Trippier will often cruise to the wing, looking for opportunities to tear the defense.

They pack a punch.

However, now that Kyle Walker is sitting on Sun Xingmin's wing, it is a lot of reassuring, and Fernandinho and Sane's restrictions on Eriksson make it difficult for them to play long passes.

At this point, Ali was a little nervous when he came up. He kept dribbling and breaking through, and couldn't cooperate with his teammates. Tottenham's tactics can be said to be scattered.

Kane, who couldn't get the ball, could only sigh.

After finally finding an opportunity in the penalty area, Zhao Gang, who has excellent jumping ability, will destroy it in advance.

In this game, Tottenham played a little depressed.

Especially for Ali, Pochettino has high hopes for him, hoping that he can use his personal ability to tear the line of defense.

As a result, his performance was disappointing, and he stopped passing after getting the ball.

After Eriksson communicated with him, he changed somewhat, but after hearing the singing of Manchester City fans, he became emotional and more eager to prove himself.

Bumping around like a headless chicken.

As a result, Tottenham players no longer dare to hand him the ball.

His random attack can be tolerated, maybe he is lucky and can really break into the penalty area and score a goal.

But what is unacceptable is that once he loses the ball indiscriminately, Zhao Gang will get the ball and fight back!

If it weren't for the rusty cooperation between Zhao Gang and Sane, Tottenham's midfielder would have been sieved long ago.

Twice, Zhao Gang directly found Sane who was rushing forward, but because of some problems with Sane's running position, after the ball was sent out, he stumbled and delayed the offensive rhythm.

At the last moment of the first half, Ali rushed up with the ball, and was intercepted by Fernandinho and Kolarov. Zhao Gang directly found De Bruyne with one kick.

This time, there is no need for Sane's support, and this is what Pochettino is most worried about.

Zhao Gang did not find such a long pass opportunity throughout the first half, but this time he did.

With this kick, it only takes three or four seconds for Manchester City to switch from defense to offense!

If neither Jesus nor Sterling had received De Bruyne's wonderful pass, Tottenham would have been completely useless!

At half-time, Guardiola asked the players to relax.

"I know that all of you players, all the Manchester City staff, and tens of thousands of fans want to knock Tottenham into a sieve.

Use a massacre to vent your anger!

Zhao, I also saw some of you..." Guardiola paused, "Some of your selfishness, on the court, you keep looking for opportunities to confront Ali, because he heard what Pochettino said before the game After some words, you think he is the best young player in the Premier League and you want to teach him a lesson and prove yourself.

But for now, you have to resist this useless urge, and everyone needs to stabilize! !

Tottenham regard us as opponents, just like Ali only has Zhao in their eyes now.

The truth is, Tottenham have never been our level of opponents, our goal is the championship!League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League!

And Tottenham have nothing, they can only increase their confidence and presence by beating us!

The relationship between us and Tottenham is like the relationship between you and Ali Zhao, he has never been your opponent!

You never have to do something that hurts yourself on the court for him! "

Zhao Gang scratched his head and nodded again.

Guardiola nodded accordingly, this child is so reassuring, listen to persuasion.

"Don't move too much, don't get hurt!!! That's what I'm trying to say.

Don't all try to irritate Tottenham.

Not because we are afraid of confrontation, but because we have higher goals!

I want you to stay focused and do your own thing well. There is no need to do extra things. When we win all the trophies, it is the best proof! "

"In the second half, we don't need to make too many changes. Zhao, I need you to stand firmly in your position. When you are there, everyone in Tottenham will be scared, and there will be a lot of pressure when attacking.

The rest should not lose the ball easily. Once the ball is lost, the first thing to do is to fight back immediately. If you can't get it, you must return to your defensive area as quickly as possible!

Sane, you are doing well. "Guardiola specifically mentioned that Sane's running position often overlaps with his teammates. This is because of his previous tactical play. There is no way, it needs to be adjusted slowly.

But after he lost the ball, he actively counter-robbed, which needs to be praised.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City's players certainly understood what Guardiola meant.

Tottenham were not their goal at all, and scoring seven or eight goals was meaningless.

Tottenham have a great reputation. If they are impatient, some accidents are likely to happen directly.

The most important thing for them now is to win the game and stay healthy.

Therefore, Manchester City did not rush to attack, but stabilized the rhythm, began to progress step by step, and became the same as Guardiola before.

Kicking makes people sleepy.

But very easy to use, very stable.

The players maintained good physical fitness and were able to win the game smoothly.

Manchester City stabilized, and it was even more difficult for Tottenham to score goals, especially when Pochettino saw Ali's performance, he was heartbroken and replaced Carmela on the field, trying to find new opportunities.

As a result, it is conceivable that Tottenham lost another explosive point, and the offense failed to fight.

Moreover, Zhao Gang's position is too far back. With Jesus Sterling in front, Tottenham need to always worry about Manchester City's counterattack when attacking.

And what to worry about.

In the 80th minute of the game, Tottenham launched an attack after another, trying to get a goal back.

As a result, after Sun Xingmin cut inside, the ball was destroyed by Otamendi.

Zhao Gang, who had been conscientiously standing in his position, half turned around and kicked the ball forward!

This footwork, in the eyes of Jesus, is simply a GPS cruise missile!

Brazil has such a big character, and it couldn't be kicked like that grandma by Germany two years ago.

Jesus swung his arms and rushed up, his legs were about to take off.

The Tottenham players behind him couldn't catch up at all. He was like walking a dog, sprinting all the way to the Tottenham penalty area with the ball!

Danny Rose, who was chasing back from the wing, saw this situation, his head was hot, and he was a little anxious to lose. Taking advantage of Jesus' time to adjust and prepare to hit the goal, he put a shovel behind him!

Jesus yelled, rolled twice, and fell into the penalty area.

The referee rushed forward decisively, penalty kick, red card!

From above the Ittihad stands, there was a frenzied shouting and cursing.

With this kind of ball, Danny Rose's foul is definitely not worth the candle.

In the absence of defenders, it must be a red card and a penalty kick, and when it is still two goals behind, this kind of foul is simply a sign of losing!

This is losing and losing!

Jesus grinned and got up, young, in good health and uninjured.

"Danny Rose is really too impulsive!"

"Yes, this kind of foul is really unnecessary. It can't show his active defense at all, it can only show that he is a little out of control..."

"This ball should be taken by Zhao Gang, right? After Aguero was injured, the first penalty should be Zhao Gang."

"It's really hard to say. It stands to reason that Zhao Gang should take the penalty, but Zhao Gang's character... If a teammate has a strong idea of ​​​​taking the penalty, and now he is leading by two goals, he may really let it go." Zhang Director Junzhang looked at the broadcast camera. Although Zhao Gang was standing there, he found a pair of very abnormal eyes.

Jesus was eager to stare at the penalty spot, and then looked up at Zhao Gang fieryly.

He and Zhao Gang had very direct eye contact, and they could fully see the desire and expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Gang hesitated for a moment. Danny Rose did not foul the ball, and Jesus probably scored.

From this point of view, it is normal for Jesus to want to punish himself.

The most important thing is that Manchester City is now leading by two goals. This goal seems to have no effect on the overall situation.

Jesus is so eager, and Zhao Gang has no paranoid pursuit of goals.

Giving it to him can satisfy Jesus' desire to score goals and give him a great sense of accomplishment and presence.

It didn't have much impact on Zhao Gang himself.

Moreover, the biggest weakness in Zhao Gang's character is that he is not very good at rejecting other people's requests.

After he left Norwich, he had a lot of ideological struggles, and his rejection of Wenger made him depressed for a long time.

Including Oli, it was because of this weakness of character that they got together.

If it was another woman who confessed at that time, Zhao Gang would agree in all likelihood.

Therefore, facing the gaze of Jesus, Zhao Gang is a little embarrassed.

He held the ball, thought about it, let out a breath slowly, shook his head at Jesus, and placed the ball on the penalty spot.
