Seven Hundred and Sixty-Nine Who Agree? Who Is Against It?
On the evening of August 22, Etihad Stadium, Manchester.
In the dressing room before the game, Manchester City's players are in full swing for the final preparations before the game.
Some are busy putting on pants, some are busy tying their hair, some are sorting their jerseys, some are closing their eyes and praying...
Every player has his own habits and is preparing for the game according to his own habits.
Su Dong had already packed up, sitting in his seat, looking at the photos sent by Wang Chuqing on his mobile phone.
Today is Sunday. She came to Manchester yesterday. After watching Su Dong's game tonight, she will return to Oxford overnight.
In the photo, she smiled very happily and got into a commotion with the surrounding Manchester City fans.
This makes Su Dong happy.
Seeing that his teammates were almost ready, Su Dong put away his phone, took a deep breath, and stood up.
"Okay, everyone, get ready to play!"
As captain, this is what he needs to do every time he plays.
When all the teammates were gathered around, Su Dong spoke again.
"We played very well against Tottenham in the last game, and tonight against Liverpool is our first home game of the new season. I hope everyone can continue to show the performance of the last round and once again Three points!"
"Are you confident?" Su Dong asked in a serious tone.
"Yes!" The teammates answered in unison.
"To be honest, I'm in a pretty bad situation right now, Drogba has five goals and three assists, top scorers and assists, and some other players like Anekal, Kalou, Walcott. …”
Su Dong read out the names of many players in one breath, which made the Manchester City players feel amused.
"I think I can no longer hide my strength now. I decided to release the devil in my heart so that I can gain a firm foothold in the crazy Premier League. Otherwise, I guess I won't be able to survive."
Su Dong's words caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.
The outside media really said that, because Su Dong's current scorer rankings have already made the top ten.
Taking the urine of the British media,
I don't want to criticize Su Dong for the time being, mainly because he still has one round less, but if he can't beat Liverpool tonight, it is estimated that there will be overwhelming doubts waiting for Su Dong tomorrow.
What can be done?
Who has seen such a crazy Premier League?
Only in the second round of the league, three games 6-0, the goal is terrible.
The game was exciting and the fans were happy, but Su Dong said, Yali Shanda!
"Angel, David, Tony, Alexis." Su Dong named the names of four players in one breath, all Manchester City players who organized the attack around him, "I decided to make more moves, you can get Be careful, help me get a few more assists, I don't believe I can't kill him Drogba!"
Su Dong's words made not only the four players named by him excited, but also Marcelo.
"And me, and me, and I can score goals too."
The crowd laughed again.
But I have to admit that Marcelo's footwork is indeed quite delicate.
"Just yesterday, Hodgson said in front of the media, I haven't adjusted to the Premier League yet, he is confident that he can stop me, I personally said it was hurt, sad, I felt humiliated, so I decided to kill him. !"
"Who is for? Who is against?"
…………
…………
With the whistle of the referee Phil Dodd, and the cheers of more than 40,000 Manchester City fans in the audience, the second round of the Premier League's most watched focus battle officially kicked off.
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool took the lead and Manchester City took the initiative.
The Trident headed by Su Dong immediately launched a pressing attack on Liverpool's defense line, followed by the midfield and the backcourt, which quickly pressed up and immediately put pressure on Liverpool's backcourt.
Although it is an away game, Liverpool played a British-style four-four-two formation tonight.
The two forwards are Torres and Ngog, the midfielders are Norwich, Lucas, Gerrard and Kuyt, the back line is Agger, Carragher, Skrtel and Glen Johnson, the goalkeeper It was Reina, an old acquaintance.
Manchester City's high pressing directly rushed to the back line, even to Reina, forcing Liverpool to use a big foot to drive the ball to the frontcourt, and finally Manchester City grabbed the landing point in time and controlled the ball under their feet.
After grabbing the ball, Manchester City patiently passed the control.
The three midfielders of David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets help the team hold the ball firmly, pass it back and forth, organize patiently and look for opportunities.
But the first threatening attack of the whole game came from Liverpool.
It was a quick counterattack.
After Gerrard steals, he quickly passed the ball to Ngog, who then passed to the penalty area. Torres got the ball in the penalty area, and Pepe, who was back on defense, took the lead, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball out of bounds.
After getting up from the ground, Pepe made a confident gesture towards Su Dongbi from a distance.
Obviously, he really believed what Su Dong said before the game, and Torres' explosiveness really declined.
Not to mention anything else, in the situation just now, it would be really difficult for Pepe to stop Torres at his peak.
If this opportunity in the third minute is not obvious, then in the eighth minute, when Jovanovic crossed from the left to the middle, Torres stopped the ball 25 meters away from the goal frontally, Start dribbling forward.
At this moment, Pepe suddenly caught up from behind, came from behind, and once again took the lead to steal the ball.
For the second time in a row, Pepe managed to steal Torres' dribbling attack.
...
Hodgson paced back and forth on the sidelines, reaching out from time to time to remind players on the field to pay attention to their positions.
Seeing Torres dribble the ball again, he shook his head helplessly.
It was Torres' first start of the season.
It was also Torres' second game after the World Cup final.
He played less than 20 minutes as a substitute in the first round of the Premier League, and it was his first game, and he performed poorly.
Now it seems that the state of tonight is not much better.
Hodgson frowned and called out to Gerrard again, signaling that he should try to stabilize the midfield defense.
What Manchester City is best at is to control the ball from the midline to the 30-meter area, patiently back and forth, and after finding an opportunity, suddenly send a deadly straight pass.
"Be careful," Hodgson shouted.
Looking back at his own backcourt, he felt a little more stable in his heart.
Tonight he lined up three central defenders, Agger, Carragher and Skrtel, just to limit Su Dong.
So far, it looks good.
He's not Redknapp, Liverpool is not Tottenham, he's always been pragmatic.
In the face of a team like Manchester City, don't think about playing with the opponent, you just have to defend.
Hold and then fight back.
Seeing that the scene was somewhat stable, Liverpool stood firm under the pressure of Manchester City's high pressing after the opening, Hodgson also secretly relieved, and when he looked at Su Dong again, the expression on his face became a little more playful.
Liverpool has not been on the headlines for a long time. If they can hold the score tonight and freeze Manchester City and Sudong, tomorrow will definitely be a proper headline.
You know, Su Dong is now ranked out of ten in the Premier League scorer list.
This is the first person in the world of football, and he can't handle the Premier League?
Thinking of this, Hodgson couldn't help but get excited again, walked to the sidelines, and shouted at Carragher and Skrtel on the back line, indicating that they should pay attention to Su Dong and don't give him a chance.
But I don't know if it was Hodgson's shout that distracted them. In one of Manchester City's attacks, Liverpool's defense had a loophole that should not have appeared.
...
Manchester City planned an attack on the left. Marcelo and Di Maria failed to cooperate on the left and were forced to pass the ball back to David Silva.
After David Silva stopped the ball in the middle, he glanced at the right and transferred the ball directly to the right line.
Sanchez stopped the ball close to the right line and dribbled the ball from the right rib to the penalty area.
Agger stepped forward to defend the first time, and wanted to block Sanchez in the right corner of the penalty area.
But the Chilean winger was very fast and did not give Agger any reaction time. After a fake move, he immediately turned towards the bottom line, forcibly broke through Agger's defense and passed the ball to the middle.
Su Dong moved forward quickly, on the right periphery of the small penalty area, and took the lead to stop the ball.
But at this time, Skrtel was already stuck behind Su Dong.
Su Dong tried to use his body to push away Skrtel, but failed, and the Liverpool central defender's physical confrontation ability was also super strong.
If you turn around and hit the goal, the angle of the shot is very small, and Reina has already controlled a large area.
Su Dong immediately judged the situation the moment he stopped the ball. After stopping the ball, he blocked Skrtel with his body, turned to the right, turned his back to the goal, and gently pushed the ball to the top of the penalty area with his left foot. One delivery on the right.
I saw Tony Cross, who had been ambushed on the periphery of the big penalty area just now, walked forward quickly, quickly grabbed ahead of Gerrard, faced Su Dong's pass, swung his right foot, and shot a long-range shot.
The ball was like thunder, straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the eleventh minute, Manchester City successfully broke the deadlock on the field!"
"Tony Kroos, a teenager from Germany, took the ball back from Su Dong's back and opened the scoring for Manchester City!"
"Su Dong's assists are beautiful, and Tony Kroos' long-range shots are also wonderful!"
After Toni Kroos scored, he rushed to the sideline excitedly, but was quickly surrounded by Su Dong and Sanchez who were catching up.
Other Manchester City players also stepped forward to congratulate.
After a frantic celebration, Tony Kroos faced Su Dong, got down on one knee, raised his left foot, wiped the stains on his sneakers with his jersey, thanked him for his assists, and then two Man is another hug.
"Stinky boy!" Su Dong scratched Tony Cross's head with a little force.
The German midfielder smiled cheerfully, apparently satisfied with his goal.
When walking back, Su Dong took a special look at Hodgson in front of the visiting team's coach.
The latter was obviously a little disappointed with the goal, and even a little flustered.
Su Dong grinned at him.
Don't worry, there's more to come!
