Hexagonal monster crushing European football

Sampaoli looked ugly.

He made a lot of preparations.

Targeting Zhao Yi.

In the midfield five, Vazquez and Hiroyuki Kiyotake can support the defenders at any time.

In a small area, a double-team was formed against Zhao Yi.

Forcing him into turnovers.

As a result, Zhao Yi's position and playing style have changed now. He no longer forces himself from the side and then cuts inside to hit the goal.

He started passing the ball again.

And the passing route is elusive.

Sampaoli felt like a heavy punch hitting cotton, and he was helpless.

No matter how he adjusted it, it seemed that he couldn't target Zhao Yi.

The best way is to squat and defend, not only to guard Zhao Yi, but also to keep an eye on all Manchester City players.

Otherwise, Zhao Yi will revitalize other teammates.

Last season, Zhao Yi's assists still needed to break through first, and then watch the movement of his teammates and pass the threatening ball.

This season, he can already pass the ball first and lead his teammates to move.

What's even more amazing is that he doesn't even want to observe his teammates.

It's as if all the moves of his teammates are under control.

Sampaoli shook his head. This season, Zhao Yi and Manchester City have once again completed their evolution.

Apart from luck and tireless defense, he didn't know how a team like Sevilla should compete with Manchester City.

After Emery's departure, Sevilla is undergoing a transformation.

With Sevilla's current combat effectiveness, it is really difficult to pose a threat to Manchester City.

Sampaoli, the head coach, has a somewhat paranoid personality, and it is difficult to change what he insists on.

Therefore, Sevilla did not change their formation and all squatted in the penalty area to defend.

They are still at 352, trying to maintain their offensive momentum.

Of course, after the restart, they passed the ball into the backcourt in hopes of stretching the formation.

Let Manchester City's defense have some problems.

Manchester City has changed their formation, with Zhao Yi retreating, with Sterling and Aguero in front.

Waiting for counterattack.

Silva and Kanter formed a double midfielder, with Zhao Yi and De Bruyne sandwiched between the forward and midfielder.

Like a 4222 formation.

This just gives Sevilla's two wings the possibility to attack.

The two wing-backs began to move forward frequently.

However, because Zhao Yi and Kanter are both on the left side of the team, Sevilla's right side plays more of a containment role.

They began to look for opportunities on Manchester City's right wing, which is also their own left wing.

Manchester City has Silva on the right to help defend, and there is also the fast and strong Kyle Walker.

This allows Sevilla's offense to reach the frontcourt, but it is difficult to complete breakthrough crosses.

You can only forcefully lift your foot at an angle of 45 degrees and hang into the penalty area.

It seems that there are opportunities and gaps on both sides, but it is difficult to truly attack with a threat.

In the penalty area, Ben Yedder was restricted by Kompany and Stones and basically did not perform.

Bilotto couldn't rush again.

Sevilla's offense was like constipation.

The center cannot penetrate, and it is difficult to break through from the side.

Vitolo finally forced his way down, but still couldn't break through Kyle Walker.

He could only force a kick and the football was blocked from the bottom line by Kyle Walker.

"The addition of Kyle Walker has really improved Manchester City's defense a lot.

Manchester City has spent a lot less this season, but the improvement on the defensive end is very obvious.

Kyle Walker and Kanter have raised the toughness of Manchester City's midfield and backfield to a higher level.

Judging from Bravo's several friendly matches, it seems that it did not meet Guardiola's requirements.

On the other hand, Ederson, a young goalkeeper, is quite capable of playing the ball.

No stage fright, have confidence.

Let’s look at Sevilla’s corner kick opportunity this time. It is a rare opportunity for Sevilla! "

"Sarabia takes the corner kick."

Sarabia raised his hand, and the Sevilla players in the penalty area began to move.

As the football was lofted into the penalty area, the spot was found well, but unfortunately the speed was a little lacking.

If the ball speed is too slow, it will be easy for the goalkeeper to determine where it will land.

The goalkeeper in the penalty area can use his hands.

So Ederson rushed to where the ball landed and made a big jump.

The hands directly catch the football.

In the small penalty area, the goalkeeper has a huge advantage. After controlling the football, the opponent will not have any reasonable confrontation.

Ederson threw the ball away.

Zhao Yi, who had withdrawn, stayed on the left, turned around and pushed with the outside of his right foot, and he started running after the ball.

Manchester City's quick counterattack was very fast.

Kanter, who was originally near the penalty area, ran like a small piece of black and blue lightning.

Chiliu, he rushed into the Sevilla players, and he rushed out of the encirclement.

Not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, Kanter's support and pulling are also top-notch.

His speed and dedicated attitude made Guardiola nod his head.

40 million bought a baby.

Kanter's forward ability and shooting ability are both good, but his passing ability is a bit poor. This is why Guardiola was not optimistic about him at the beginning.

Judging from this game, Kanter does lack passing cooperation with his teammates.

But after he got the ball, he knew how to look for Zhao Yi, and when he didn't have the ball, he knew how to run.

Retreat more actively.

Excellent interception ability.

He is a good hand at counterattacking.

Even if it cannot be used as a top receiving point, it can also be used as a ball release point.

But Manchester City already has enough players in the midfield to take the ball.

Can cover up Kanter's shortcomings.

In certain lineups, Kanter can serve as a surprise player.

If you insist on playing a ball-possession system, you can let Gundogan play.

After Zhao Yi got the ball, his left foot was the axis and his right foot was close to the ball.

As soon as Philho passed behind him, the football flew from the left to the right.

De Bruyne ran like a little tank.

Sterling quickly received the ball and ran along the wing.

After De Bruyne cut inside, Sterling passed the ball.

Then move forward again along the side road.

At the moment when he was about to go offside, De Bruyne sent the ball behind the defender.

Sterling made a half circle and rushed behind the defender.

He took the football and rushed into the penalty area.

A series of quick passes tore apart Sevilla's defense.

After Sterling entered the penalty area, he was intercepted.

In this game, it seemed that Sterling was infected by his teammates' precise passing.

Sterling also wanted to show off and sent the football out of the penalty area without forcing a breakthrough!

Kanter, who had already rushed from the backcourt to the front of the frontcourt penalty area, received the ball.

This is the most typical b2b midfielder.

Running back and forth from the front edge of his own penalty area to the front edge of the opponent's penalty area.

The defense has him and the offense has him.

For a period of time, Guardiola also thought about playing Zhao Yi as a B2B player.

Later, I thought that this was too much of a waste of natural resources, so I simply gave up the idea of ​​transformation.

"Kante, another kick!!"

In this kick, Sevilla's defense was not in place.

Let him fully enjoy the power without any hindrance.

The football went straight to the far corner.

Rick was unable to intercept a shot of this quality.

“The ball went in!!

Manchester City 3:0!

In Kante's first game after joining Manchester City, he contributed a wonderful long-range goal!

From the current point of view, these signings made by Manchester City are quite effective! ! "
