Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine, It's All Su Dong's Fault

Three days after playing Dortmund, the team headed south to London for an away game against Fulham.

This is the fifth round of the Premier League this season.

Although Courtois's outstanding performance won unanimous praise after playing Dortmund, Guardiola and Begiristan and others decided to let Joe Hart start this game after research.

On the one hand, it is for the rotation, and on the other hand, it is also to appease the players and fans.

In any case, Joe Hart is the national goal of England. It is a bit unreasonable to decide that he will lose his main position in a few games, and the mood of the local fans is also a key consideration for the team.

After communication and coordination, it was finally decided to let Joe Hart start.

After the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund, the team consumed a lot, so Guardiola decided to make a strong rotation in this game, and even discharged Hazard, Dzeko and Aguero in the frontcourt The trident combination put Douglas Costa on the bench.

Also on the bench was Sudong, who had a great performance against Borussia Dortmund, this time in a rotation.

At Craven Farm, Manchester City still insisted on a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Joe Hart, the back line is Leyton Baines, Harvey Martinez, David Luiz and Zabaleta, the midfield is Busquets, Moutinho and Tony Kroos came forward, and the trident in the frontcourt was a combination of Hazard, Dzeko and Aguero.

Toni Kroos is very much used by Guardiola and has played many times in a row, which also shows that Guardiola relies heavily on the German midfielder, and Toni Kroos' performance has become more and more stable. Became an indispensable and important passer in the Manchester City team.

According to media statistics, Toni Kroos and Busquets are the players with the most passes and the highest success rate in the Premier League this season. Even in the five major leagues, they only lost to Xavi of Barcelona, ​​and Iniesta. Similar to Messi.

...

Su Dong sat on the bench of the visiting team, watching the game intently, analyzing the situation of both the enemy and the enemy.

From the very beginning, Manchester City pressed heavily and formed a pressure on Fulham. Relying on skillful passing and controlling the ball, they firmly locked the initiative of the game, and frequently created threats, creating several consecutive shots into the penalty area. Shot opportunity.

The home team Fulham did not complete the first shot until the fifteenth minute by Dempsey,

Long shot from the left side of the box.

Joe Hart was solid this time around, holding the ball firmly.

Just two minutes later, Toni Kroos sent a through ball from the front of the penalty area, Moutinho pushed it to the right near the penalty spot, Aguero ran out of neutral, and after catching the ball, he formed a single-handed shot and easily pushed the shot successfully for Manchester City. First record.

One to zero!

Along with all the bench players, Su Dong stood up from their seats and applauded Aguero's goal.

Since joining Manchester City, Aguero has still scored a lot of goals, and even the scoring efficiency is higher than when he was at Atletico Madrid, and the strength he has shown is stronger, which has earned him more and more recognition.

His old father-in-law, the football king Maradona, said that Aguero received more support in Manchester City, but he had to succumb to Su Dong. The son-in-law is no worse than Su Dong.

For this matter, Aguero also explained a few words to Su Dong in private, but Su Dong didn't take it to heart.

For Aguero, Su Dong still appreciates it very much.

Who made them both have a mutual best friend?

...

After the goal, Fulham once tried to counterattack.

Martin Joel is a Dutch referee, and he is more inclined to attack in his bones.

But Manchester City quickly passed a quick counter-attack, after Hazard got the ball on the left, forced a breakthrough, attracted the attention of two defenders, and then passed to Leighton Baines who came in behind, the latter one A long shot with the foot, slightly above the goal.

No goal, but knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger still made Fulham break out in a cold sweat.

Manchester City continued to stabilize the situation, adopting high-pressure tactics against Fulham, applying pressure frequently and creating threats.

Fulham is under heavy pressure, although it is quite embarrassed, but it is also patiently waiting for the opportunity to launch a counterattack, but more can only threaten Manchester City's goal through long-range shots.

Joe Hart's performance tonight was relatively stable, and he didn't give his opponent a chance and made no mistakes.

The first half ended with Manchester City taking the lead 1-0.

After the intermission, the second half changed sides and fought again. In just ten minutes, after kicking off the frontcourt and passing it back to the backcourt, Harvey Martinez was assigned to the left, Leighton Bynes made a long pass, Section headed the ferry and gave it to Aguero. After the Argentine unloaded the ball, he rushed to the outside of the penalty area with the ball, and suddenly kicked a cold shot.

This shot was hit quickly and urgently. Although the goalkeeper Schwarzer made a save, he failed to stop it and the ball went into the net.

Two to zero!

...

After scoring two goals in a row, everyone basically believes that Manchester City is the overall situation.

Even Guardiola signaled that the players on the field should be a little more stable, but Fulham, on the contrary, was more open when they were two goals behind.

This is basically in line with the characteristics of the Premier League team.

You can lose away games, but at home, especially in front of the home fans, you must show your enterprising spirit and desire to win no matter what. Otherwise, how can you persuade the home fans to continue to buy tickets to support?

Under the increasing counterattack of Fulham, Manchester City declared the goal in the 55th minute.

After a steal from the backcourt, Dembele and Dempsey passed two consecutive kicks, tearing Manchester City's defense. Zamora blocked Harvey Martinez with his body in the penalty area and turned around to force a kick. Hit the door and score a goal for Fulham.

One to two!

This goal can be described as playing Fulham's morale.

Just two minutes later, it was another long pass from the middle circle, and Dempsey entered the penalty area at high speed, intending to kick the door directly.

At the critical moment, Zabaleta, who was wearing the captain's armband, returned to defense in time, blocked Dempsey's shot, and resolved a crisis.

But then Fulham played more and more vigorously, frequently launched counterattacks, and the players were also affected and became more active, which caused Manchester City to make mistakes in passing and controlling the ball, while Fulham launched a counterattack again and again.

Guardiola made a decisive substitution and replaced Moutinho with Gareth Barry. Obviously, he also wanted to strengthen the defense of the midfield and stop Fulham's counterattack as soon as possible.

But in the 68th minute, with a pass from Sidwell, Murphy shot directly from the outside of the penalty area. When the ball flew into the penalty area, it hit David Luiz's leg and turned into Manchester City's goal.

Joe Hart was dumbfounded at the goal line.

Damn, can this even work?

The referee blew his whistle immediately, indicating that the goal was valid, but it was not an own goal, but Murphy's long-range goal.

Manchester City's situation is embarrassing.

Joe Hart was so depressed that he could not help tearing down the goal in front of him.

His performance tonight was not bad, it could even be said to be quite good, but he was still scored, and he scored twice.

Nima, don't wait to bully people like this, okay?

He is now at a critical moment in the competition with Courtois for the main goalkeeper. How could he be playing this kind of game at this time?

Even the gods are joking with him!

...

Su Dong was on the sidelines and watched the team lead from 2-0 and was chased by Fulham twice.

Can't really blame Joe Hart for those two goals.

The problem with the first goal is that Xavi Martinez is not a central defender. When a midfielder is defending, he considers the problem from a different angle than a central defender, because there are defenders behind him.

But the central defender is different. Being turned around by the opponent and kicking the door directly is very fatal.

Xavi Martinez's defensive habits caused the first goal to be conceded, which is really to blame, only Guardiola, why let Xavi Martinez play central defender?

As for the second goal, it was purely a matter of luck.

Sometimes football games are like that.

It's like Murphy's long-range shot. If David Lewis didn't block or touch it, he might not be able to score, but it was David Lewis who touched it, which caused the ball to change direction. So the ball went in.

Su Dong saw that Guardiola was obviously very depressed. He shook his head in anger on the sidelines, and was obviously very dissatisfied with the result.

It's the same for everyone, from two to zero to two to two, who can accept it?

I am afraid the happiest is the tens of thousands of fans on the scene, as well as the people of Fulham.

Even, they played more vigorously, as if they were going to reverse Manchester City on the spot.

Especially in the 74th minute, Murphy's back plugged in again. After feinting a shot from the outside of the penalty area, he suddenly made a straight pass to the penalty area and assisted Riise to kick the goal in the penalty area, but it was slightly higher.

Fulham is really playing more and more vigorously, while Manchester City seems a little flustered.

Guardiola finally couldn't hold his breath, and immediately made a substitution adjustment.

...

"Su, we need you!"

Guardiola came to the bench with a grim look and shouted at Su Dong.

The noise at the scene was too loud, and if he didn't shout louder, he was afraid that Su Dong wouldn't be able to hear it.

Su Dong stood up from the bench, nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's alright."

After speaking, Su Dong ran out to warm up for a while, then ran back to the coach's bench.

At this time, Fulham head coach Martin Joel had noticed the movement of Manchester City, especially seeing Su Dong warming up, he immediately nervously reminded his players to pay attention, especially Hangeland.

But he still seemed a little worried, and immediately looked at the bench.

At this moment, the Swiss central defender Felipe Senderos, who came on loan from Arsenal this summer, is sitting on the bench, noticing the eyes of the coach looking over, and his heart is shaking for no reason.

Especially when he felt Martin Joel's hot eyes, he couldn't help but look at him.

When Martin Joel saw it, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

What a good central defender back then, why was Su Dong abruptly abused and psychologically shadowed?

What a sad and tragic story this is!
