i want to be king

Chapter 770 Who agrees?Who is against it?
On the evening of August 22, at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

In the pre-match dressing room, Manchester City's players are making their final preparations before the game.

Some are busy putting on their pants, some are busy tying their hair, some are arranging their jerseys, some are praying with their eyes closed...

Every player has his own habits, and he is preparing for the game according to his own habits.

Su Dong had already tidied up, sitting on his seat, looking at the photos sent by Wang Chuqing on his phone.

Today is Sunday, and she came to Manchester yesterday. After watching Sudong's game tonight, she will return to Oxford overnight.

In the photo, she was smiling very happily, mingling 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 something he needs to do every time he goes on the pitch.

When all his teammates gathered around, Su Dong spoke again.

"The last game against Tottenham Hotspur, we performed very well, 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 score three points again!"

"Are you confident?" Su Dong asked in a deep voice, emphasizing his tone.

"Yes!" The teammates replied in unison.

"To be honest, my current situation is quite bad. Drogba has five goals and three assists. Both the scorer list and the assist list are all tops. There are also some other players, such as Anekal, Kalou, Walcott..."

Su Dong read the names of many players in one breath, which made the Manchester City players feel amused.

"I feel that I can no longer hide my strength. I decided to release the devil in my heart so that I can gain a firm foothold in the crazy Premier League. Otherwise, I probably won't be able to survive."

Su Dong's words made the locker room burst into laughter.

The outside media did say that, because Su Dong's current scorer ranking has already reached the top ten.

Due to the urgency of the British media, I will not criticize Su Dong for the time being. The main reason is that he still missed a round, but if he can't beat Liverpool tonight, then what awaits Su Dong tomorrow will probably be overwhelming doubts.

What can be done?

Who has seen such a crazy Premier League?

Only in the second round of the league, three games were [-]-[-], and there were too many goals.

The game was wonderful, and the fans were happy, but Su Dong said, Yalishan is great!

"Angel, David, Tony, Alexis." Su Dong called the names of four players in one breath, all of them were Manchester City players who organized the offense around him, "I decided to make a big move, you have to pay attention, help me get a few more assists, I don't believe I can't kill Drogba!"

Su Dong's words excited not only the four players he named, but also Marcelo.

"And me, and me, I can score 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 that I have not adapted to the Premier League. He is confident that he can guard me. I personally said that I was hurt and sad. I felt humiliated, so I decided to kill him!"

"Who is for? Who is against?"

…………

…………

Under the whistle of the referee Phil Dodd and the cheers of more than 4 Manchester City fans, the second round of the Premier League's most watched focus match officially kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool took the lead and Manchester City took the initiative to attack.

The trident headed by Su Dong immediately launched an urgent press towards Liverpool's defense line, and the midfielder followed closely behind, quickly pressing up and immediately forming an oppression on Liverpool's backcourt.

Although it is an away game, Liverpool played an English-style four-four-two formation tonight.

The double forwards are Torres and Ngog, the midfielder is Yuewan Norwich, Lucas, Gerrard and Dirk, the defense is Agger, Carragher, Skrtel and Glenn Johnson, and the goalkeeper is an old acquaintance Reina.

Manchester City's high-post press directly rushed to the back line, even to Reina, forcing Liverpool to drive the ball into the frontcourt with a big foot, and finally Manchester City grabbed the spot in time and controlled the ball under their feet.

After grabbing the ball, Manchester City passed the control patiently.

A midfield three of David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets helped the team hold onto the ball, passing it back and forth, patiently organizing and looking for chances.

But the first threatening attack of the whole game came from Liverpool.

It's 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.

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, that Torres' explosive power had really declined.

Not to mention anything else, in the situation just now, if it was at the peak moment, it would be really difficult for Pepe to stop Torres.

If the opportunity in the 3rd minute was not obvious, then in the 8th minute, when Jovanovic made a cross from the left to the center, Torres stopped the ball 25 meters away from the goal and started to dribble forward.

At this moment, Pepe suddenly caught up from behind, came from behind, and once again took the lead in stealing the ball.

Twice in a row, Pepe successfully intercepted Torres' dribbling attack.

……

Hodgson paced back and forth on the sidelines, reaching out from time to time to remind the players on the field to pay attention to their positions.

After 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 10 minutes as a substitute in the first round of the Premier League. It was his first game and he performed very badly.

Now it seems that the state of tonight is not much better.

Hodgson frowned, and called Gerrard again, signaling him to try to stabilize the midfield defense.

What Manchester City is best at is to control the ball from the center line to the 30-meter area, patiently back and forth from left to right, and when they find an opportunity, they suddenly send a deadly direct pass.

"Be careful," Hodgson shouted.

Looking at his backcourt again, he felt a little more stable in his heart.

Tonight, he selected three central defenders, Agger, Carragher and Skrtel, just to limit Su Dong.

So far, it looks good.

He is not Redknapp, Liverpool is not Tottenham Hotspur, his creed has always been pragmatic.

In the face of a team like Manchester City, don't think about fighting the opponent, just defend.

Hold and then fight back.

Seeing that the scene was somewhat stable, and that Liverpool had gained a firm foothold under the pressure of Manchester City's high pressure after the opening, Hodgson was also secretly relieved, and when he looked at Su Dong again, his face was a little more playful.

Liverpool has not been in the headlines for a long time. If they can hold the score tonight and freeze Manchester City and Sudong, then tomorrow will definitely be the headlines.

You know, Su Dong is now ranked outside the top ten in the Premier League scorer list.

This is No. 1 in world football, but he can't handle the Premier League?
Thinking of this, Hodgson couldn't help becoming excited again, walked to the sidelines, and shouted at Carragher, Skrtel and others in the back line, signaling them to pay attention to Su Dong and don't give him a chance.

But I don't know if Hodgson's shouts distracted them. In an attack by Manchester City, Liverpool's defense unexpectedly had a loophole that shouldn't have appeared.

……

City engineered an attack down the left and Marcelo and Di Maria failed to complete the left wing 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, transferred directly, and gave the ball 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 immediately, trying to block Sanchez in the right corner of the penalty area.

However, the Chilean winger was very fast and did not give Agger any time to react. After a fake move, he immediately turned to the bottom line, forcibly broke through Agger's defense, and passed the ball to the center.

Su Dong quickly moved forward, and on the right periphery of the small penalty area, he took the lead to stop the ball.

But at this time, Skrtel was already behind Su Dong.

Su Dong tried to squeeze Sktel away with his body, but failed. The Liverpool central defender's physical confrontation ability is also super strong.

If you turn around and hit the goal, the shooting angle is very small, and Reina has already controlled a large area.

Su Dong immediately judged the situation at the moment of stopping the ball. After stopping the ball, he blocked Skrtel with his body, turned to the right, with his back facing the goal, and sent the ball gently to the right of the arc top of the penalty area with his left foot.

I saw Toni Kroos, who had been ambushing outside the 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 shot.

The ball, like thunder, went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 11 minutes, Manchester City successfully broke the deadlock on the field!"

"Toni Kroos, a young player from Germany, received Su Dong's back and took the ball back to open the scoring for Manchester City!"

"Sudong's assist was beautiful, and Toni Kroos' long shot was also wonderful!"

After Toni Kroos scored a goal, he rushed to the sidelines excitedly, but was soon surrounded by Su Dong and Sanchez who were catching up.

Other Manchester City players also stepped forward to congratulate.

After a wild celebration, Toni Kroos faced Su Dong, knelt down on one knee, raised his left foot, wiped the stains on his sneakers with his jersey, thanked him for his assist, and then the two hugged again.

"Brat!" Su Dong affectionately scratched Tony Cross's head a little harder.

The German midfielder smiled cheerfully, obviously very satisfied with his goal.

When walking back, Su Dong took a special look at Hodgson in front of the coach of the visiting team.

The latter was obviously a little lost about the conceded goal, and even a little flustered.

Su Dong grinned at him.

Don't worry, there's more to come!
