Nine Hundred and Fifty-Two Let Me Come!

When the game reached fifty-eight minutes, Guardiola made the first substitution of the game.

He replaced Milner with Aguero.

This is a signal to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense.

The opposite Hodgson also responded quickly, using No. 17 midfielder Graham Dorrance to replace striker Odem Wenji. Although Dorrance was both offensive and defensive, he was replaced by a midfielder. Strikers, this in itself is a signal for defense.

The two coaches are also using their own means. Guardiola wants to attack, and Hodgson wants to stabilize the defense.

The game continued to stalemate.

In any regular football game, defense is always easier than offense, and the requirements for players are lower, which is why almost all weak teams will adopt defensive counterattack tactics instead of taking the initiative to attack.

Goals need to be created, defenses need to be destroyed.

That is why, the reform of football has always encouraged attacking and scoring goals.

It is said that football tactics are an upward spiral.

In fact, it can be seen this way, that is, with the development of science and technology and the advent of the information age, the means and abilities of training players are also constantly improving. From diet to physical training, from various data analysis, these make players' Training has changed dramatically.

This results in a player's body becoming faster and stronger.

So the question is, will the control of the ball improve with the progress of the times?

The answer is, no!

Pele and Maradona, such ingenious geniuses, will change their style of play, their playing style, and their bodies, but they are still extraordinary geniuses.

Players who can control the football skillfully on the football field like these geniuses will always be in the minority.

With the progress of the times, the defense will become stronger and stronger, the pressure will become tighter, and the space left for the offensive players will become smaller and smaller, and everything will always develop towards the side that is more conducive to defense.

Therefore, it is necessary to encourage offense through reforms.

The same reason,

In a football game, especially a Boxing Day football game, when both sides are in poor form and fail to score, it is actually the defending team that has the advantage.

But after Manchester City replaced Aguero, the performance still did not improve much.

Aguero was placed in a position similar to midfield and attacking midfield by Guardiola, hoping that he could play and plug in, cruising behind and around Su Dong, ready to catch fighters at any time, but he did not play well.

After about ten minutes of playing, Su Dong communicated with Guardiola on the sidelines, found Aguero, and exchanged positions with him.

"You go up, I retreat."

After that, Su Dong ran back to the midfield without waiting for Aguero to agree.

The Argentine striker couldn't believe it. Is this the rhythm of Su Dong making the ball for himself?

He has a feeling of flattery, which makes him more powerful in the frontcourt.

But soon, Aguero found that he thought too much.

...

By the time the game reached the 77th minute, when Manchester City stumbled in midfield, West Bromwich Albion had already formed a tight defensive formation and the pace of the game slowed down.

Just as Thiago, who was behind, took the ball and was looking for the ball, he saw Su Dong running back and raising his hand for the ball.

Thiago passed the ball to Su Dong almost without thinking.

Behind Su Dong's side is Dorrance, who has just come off the bench and is very vigorous and runs very actively.

But without waiting for Dorrance to approach, Su Dong pulled the ball directly, stopped and turned around, immediately blocked Dorrance to his side, and passed the ball to Aguero in front of him.

"Stand on, let me come!" Su Dong shouted.

Aguero ran over to catch the ball, and after hearing Su Dong's shout, he subconsciously stepped on the ball, and then he felt a majestic figure flying towards him like the wind. The overwhelming pressure made him feel suffocated for a while.

With a light foot, I felt that the ball I just stepped on was stabbed away by Su Dong.

Su Dong's explosive power is too fast!

When Aguero reacted and looked at the past, his speed had already picked up, he took the ball, went straight to West Bromwich's back line, and faced the bloomers' central defender Orr in the top area of ​​the penalty area. Sen, suddenly made an emergency stop, swiped the ball to the right, avoided Olsen, and rushed to another center defender Macaulay to block the direct shot with his right foot.

From starting to emergency stop and changing direction, to kicking the door and hitting the door, everything happened in an instant.

By the time everyone reacted, the ball had penetrated West Bromwich Albion's defense like a bolt of lightning, flew between the two central defenders, and got into the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Foster flew sideways, but it was too late.

The ball hits the net!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"It's another long-range heavy artillery shot from Su Dong!"

"At the top of the penalty area, Su Dong kicked a heavy cannon and knocked on West Bromwich Albion's goal!"

"So beautiful! So hearty!"

"Manchester City finally took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 77th minute, 1-0!"

After Su Dong scored, he clenched his fists with both hands, raised it above his head, and roared.

The surrounding Manchester City players have also chased up.

Aguero stood there, looking at Su Dong dumbfounded, as if he was looking at God.

He now finally understands why Su Dong took the initiative to request a withdrawal.

It turned out that it wasn't to make the ball for him, but because he couldn't see it, and felt that he failed to change the trend of the game after coming off the bench and shared the defensive pressure for him, so he simply came and let himself go.

Thinking of this, Aguero was really ashamed, but more admired.

He has always known that Su Dong is very strong, but this time he is really too strong, and he can't even admire him.

Just as a teammate rushed up from Aguero's side, the Argentine striker woke up, and he immediately flew towards Su Dong.

…………

…………

Sudong's goal opened the door to victory for Manchester City.

West Bromwich Albion didn't think about counterattack after conceding the ball, but Hodgson obviously knew very well that it was impossible for his team to defend their goal in the case of counterattack.

So in the end, the bloomers gave up the counterattack and continued to concentrate on defending, waiting for Manchester City to make mistakes.

In the end, Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion 1-0 away with a goal from Su Dong.

As the team's scoring hero, Su Dong took the initiative to accept media interviews after the game and defended many teammates who did not perform well in the game. He said that many Manchester City players are still not used to the intensive winter break. The schedule, coupled with Boxing Day, so the overall performance of the team is not particularly ideal, which is understandable.

"Anyway, we finally got the precious three points." Su Dong laughed.

These three points continue Manchester City's winning streak, which has reached an 18-game winning streak.

It is no longer news that Manchester City won the half-way championship. The real news is whether Manchester City can win this half-way championship with a 19-game winning streak, that is, a complete victory record.

You know, no matter in the history of the Premier League or the top leagues in England, there has never been a team with a complete victory record and won the half-time championship, even in other top leagues, this is unique.

When asked by a media reporter, Su Dong said he was looking forward to the team's 19th game.

Unfortunately, Manchester City ushered in consecutive away games, which is indeed very unfavorable for Manchester City.

In the nineteenth round, the opponent was Sunderland, the black cat coached by Martin O'Neill, who was also a tough stubble.

Su Dong jokingly said that even the schedule does not want Manchester City to win the half-time championship with a complete victory, but Manchester City is full of expectations and desires for this.

"This is a rare honor for all of us."

But Su Dong also reminded everyone again and again that Sunderland is not an easy team.

Don't look at the black cat Sunderland is currently ranked 15th in the Premier League. Facing the top seven teams in the league, except for Manchester City, they only got a draw against Liverpool. defeat.

But it would be a big mistake to look down on Sunderland because of that.

The team coached by Martin O'Neill also has famous stars such as Wes Brown, O'Shea and Ben Turner, which makes the black cat Sunderland not weak, and even against Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal Sunderland can play back and forth with Na and other teams, which shows that its own strength is not bad.

...

In this battle on Boxing Day, many Premier League teams have dropped points one after another.

Chelsea drew 1-1 at home with Fulham, Liverpool drew 1-1 with Blackburn at home, and Arsenal drew 1-1 with Wolves at home. All three games were 1-1, which made people see the battle on Boxing Day. difficult.

But the biggest surprise was Manchester United.

The Red Devils are at home against Wigan Athletic. With Rooney on the bench, Berbatov's hat-trick, as well as goals from Park Ji-sung and Valencia, rout the opponent 5-0.

This is already two consecutive rounds of the Red Devils, 5-0 victory over the opponent, the last round was away against Fulham.

What makes Ferguson the most happy is that the handsome brother Berbatov has regained his best state in the Christmas devil schedule, which has greatly improved Manchester United's originally weak offense and won two consecutive rounds of opponents.

More importantly, five attackers scored in the last game, and this game was scored by Berbatov, Park Ji-sung and Valencia, which made Manchester United's attacking lineup seem to be in a state of blooming everywhere. Manchester City depend on Sudong, Arsenal depend on Van Persie, Chelsea depend on Drogba situation is completely different.

The team's big victory gave Ferguson the confidence, but also allowed him to regain his ambition to hit the league title and reverse Manchester City's ambitions.

Ferguson said that Manchester United is an extremely experienced team and has a good tradition of reversal, so he is not worried about how much behind Manchester City is now, because no matter how many points behind, he will find a way to reverse.

The British media also gave a very high evaluation to Manchester United's strong recovery.

But when the Red Devils were given overwhelming praise from the outside, in the 19th round of the Premier League three days later, Manchester United was exposed.
