Hexagonal monster crushing European football

After Manchester City kicked off the ball in the center circle, they were not in a hurry to attack.

Gundogan's position began to move forward.

The formation is more like a 4141.

The football continues to run at Manchester City's feet.

Zhao Yi and Sterling began to move frequently at the front.

Lamy and Kovodjczak still followed Zhao Yi closely to prevent him from catching the ball in advance.

Silva and Gundogan began to press forward.

Because of Zhao Yi's pull, Sevilla's center became empty.

This forces the defenders on both sides to start pulling in, making the defense more layered.

Sterling and De Bruyne's positions began to open wide.

When the ball is moved to the wing, the defender must get to his position quickly.

As a result, Sevilla's defense is relaxed, but it requires more physical fitness from the players.

Zhao Yi hardly catches the ball, and the football goes back and forth under the feet of De Bruyne, Silva, Gundogan, and Sterling.

This made Lamy and Kovodzejczak slacken in their guarding of Zhao Yi.

They began to actively move closer to the wing to help their teammates defend.

In case Sterling or De Bruyne breaks into the penalty area and finds an opportunity.

De Bruyne made a simple cooperation with Kolarov, who inserted the ball behind him.

Kolarov bypassed Koke and went straight into the half-space.

This location is very dangerous.

Lamy quickly made up the defense.

Kolarov did not force a breakthrough, he quickly passed the ball to the center.

David Silva receives the ball.

Without any hesitation, a through ball!

The football passed through Ebola's defense and headed towards the open space in the penalty area.

Lamy had tried his best to defend backwards.

But because of the replacement just now, there was a moment of defensive vulnerability.

Zhao Yi, who had been running and never caught the ball, this time was still running forward as before.

But this time is different from before, this time he has the ball at his feet!

Kovodzejczak's size is definitely enough.

But the turn was too slow.

The football passed through the defense line, and when he turned around to pursue him, Zhao Yi had already moved past him by almost two bodies!

Unless he has the speed of The Flash, he's out of reach!

His retreat speed is not as fast as the full-back Tremolinas who recovered.

Tremolinas didn't hesitate, he slid diagonally towards Zhao Yi and tackled directly!

brush!

Zhao Yi pulled the ball back directly in front of the small penalty area.

Tremolinas blocked Zhao Yi's shooting angle.

This gave Lamy enough time to return to defense and gave goalkeeper Nico time to adjust.

Lamy stretched out his long legs and stepped on the football in front of Zhao Yi.

Block the entire left shooting angle.

Nico also struck directly.

Leaning his body to the right, he judged that Zhao Yi's shooting route was the lower right corner.

Because there is almost no space on the left.

Zhao Yi bumped into Lamy with his shoulder and pushed the ball away.

Nico put strength on his feet and tried his best to pounce out.

He fell to the ground, but unfortunately did not touch the ball.

Because this is not a shot, but a pass from a wider angle.

Nico, who fell to the ground, reacted quickly and got up from the ground.

But at this time, Sterling, who rushed in from the side, was already twisting his big butt, and Bang just kicked him!

The football was like a cannonball, going from bottom to top, causing the entire net to shake violently.

Sterling turned around and rushed to the side of the court, sliding out of the court with a graceful kneel.

I didn't understand the tactics.

The wingman didn’t quite understand either.

Anyway, the empty door was pushed in.

Three defenders and a goalkeeper are all rushing towards Zhao Yi. If I can't push in anymore, I may have to be fired!

After Sterling slipped and knelt out, although Silva rushed over to celebrate, the name shouted in the Etihad stands did not seem to be him?

He clearly heard the word Zhao Niubi.

Sterling, who was hugging David Silva, turned his head and saw a scene that made him even more uncomfortable. Gundogan and De Bruyne were already hugging Zhao Yi.

What do you mean?

I scored the goal!

Soon, the three of Zhao Yi also ran to Sterling, and they formed a circle and hugged each other.

Sterling finally showed his big white teeth.

"Sterling! Scored an empty goal! Manchester City equalized the score at home!"

"Sevilla's defense still had a little problem, and with just such a small gap, Zhao Yi passed through!

The two central defenders turned too slowly and couldn't keep up!

This ball... Zhao Yi really took most of the credit.

If Sterling hadn't pushed in... he might not have been able to get out of the Etihad Stadium.

After Lamy's collision, Zhao Yi lost his center of gravity, but he still passed the ball accurately.

Nico's save was just a hair's breadth away.

Zhao Yi's passing is as accurate as a computer. Just a little difference is the difference between heaven and hell! "

"Zhao changed his playing style during this period. He no longer dropped back to catch the ball, but stayed in front, constantly pulling and looking for opportunities.

It is impossible for defensive players to stay focused all the time. As long as they relax for a moment, opportunities will appear.

Zhao and Silva, including De Bruyne, have top-notch understanding of defensive reading.

As the game continues, Sevilla's defenders decline in physical fitness and lack concentration, and may make greater defensive mistakes.

Emery's tactics are very good, but the players may not be able to implement them perfectly! "

Sevilla's defenders were speechless.

Lamy and Kovodzeychak communicated for a while, and then tried their best to keep an eye on Zhao Yi.

But what about two days on the wing?

Wait until both Manchester City defenders rush to support, then just ignore it?

Let them run wild on the wing?

But if you pull him out to help defend, what should you do with this monster in the middle?

This guy can not only score goals, but he can also pass the ball!

Passing vision and desire to pass are very good.

Emery shouted from the sidelines, asking Lamy to keep an eye on Zhao Yi.

Don't change your established tactics.

Midfielder players, including frontcourt players, can come back to help defend.

Don't give Zhao Yi any chance!

Wherever he runs, follow him!

Guard him to the death!

He is the most threatening one!

He's in a position where once he gets the ball, big things happen.

Only Zhao Yi, who can't get the ball, will make people feel at ease.

Of course, if Zhao Yi takes the initiative to retreat to get the ball, there is no need for the central defender to continue to follow.

As long as he's in the center position, he's locked in.

Sevilla's goal is clear, which is to take one point.

Then find an opportunity and luck, and steal another one.

It is not easy for them to cross the midfield and attack with all their players.

So for half an hour, as a La Liga powerhouse, their ball possession rate was only a pitiful 22%.

After the kick-off in the center circle, less than half a minute later, the ball was snatched from the backcourt by Manchester City.

Manchester City reorganized their attack.

Lamy and Kovodzejczak discovered a serious problem.

This guy Zhao Yi ran out of the penalty area, but instead of retreating, he ran to the wing.

De Bruyne retreated and gave Zhao Yi the entire space on the left.

They don't have a center anymore.

It became a 424 formation.
