i want to be king

Chapter 783 This is the gap!
"I understand! Everyone has worked hard, leave the second half to me!"

I don't know what's going on, but when Su Dong listened to the analysis and arrangement of coach Guardiola, and then heard clearly the situation encountered by his teammates, he just said such a sentence lightly, and then everyone felt a sense of peace of mind.

As the queue walked out of the player tunnel and stepped into the Red Bull Stadium again, David Silva looked at Su Dong's tall and burly body at the front of the queue, and felt a sense of security protected for no reason.

Su Dong is such a player, he always makes people feel at ease.

David Silva believes that not only him, but teammates around him should feel this way.

That is to see him, the whole person is at ease.

……

As the brigade returned to the court, each set up their positions.

Salzburg Red Bull's Dutch coach Stevens was obviously a little surprised when he saw Sudong coming off the bench.

He didn't expect that Guardiola would make a substitution during the intermission, let alone that he would directly replace Santa Cruz.

Could it be that he didn't intend to give the Paraguayan center another chance?
But soon, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

At the beginning of the game, the Salzburg Red Bull took the lead in attacking, trying to launch a wave of rushing to overwhelm Manchester City.

But only 4 minutes later, Manchester City made a quick counterattack.

Bridge picked a pass from the left, and Di Maria dribbled straight in with the ball, running all the way to the left side of the penalty area. The low-level pass entered the penalty area. Su Dong, who responded from the center, thought that Di Maria would pass to the goal. Unexpectedly, he was interfered by the defensive players and passed behind him.

Caught off guard, Su Dong turned around nimbly, blocked the central defender with his body, and stopped the ball with his foot.

After all, it was a hasty move. Su Dong didn't stop the ball well, which caused him to miss his best chance, but he quickly took another step forward, protected the ball, and quickly returned to the penalty spot.

I saw David Silva quickly plugged in, pushed the bottom right corner with his left foot, and sent the ball into the goal of the Salzburg Red Bull.

After the Spanish teenager scored a goal, he opened his arms and ran all the way out of the field.

The players of Sudong and Manchester City also rushed to catch up one by one, and directly overwhelmed David Silva on the sidelines, celebrating the goal.

"This is the key!"

"As we analyzed during the intermission, Santa Cruz's few passes in the first half were not of high quality, but we can see Su Dong's role in Manchester City's attack just now."

"Di Maria was interfered by the defenders, and this pass was not ideal. If Santa Cruz was in the middle, then the ball would probably be gone, but Su Dong reacted quickly enough, turned around and stopped the ball with his foot, and quickly protected the ball."

"That's the difference!"

"Although Su Dong didn't get the chance to kick directly, he not only stopped the ball, but also protected it. He reversed an attack that was doomed to fail, recreated the offensive opportunity, and sent a comfortable pass for David Silva. David Silva followed up and hit directly."

"The same pass, Santa Cruz also passed for David Silva in the first half, but during the intermission, we can see from the replay that the pass was uncomfortable at that time, and David Silva was barely kicked."

"But Su Dong's pass happened to be on David Silva's sprint line, and he pinpointed the pace."

"It looks like there is no difference, but in fact, the gap inside is amazing!"

……

Guardiola was loudly applauding from the sidelines, cheering on the performance of the players on the field.

As the head coach of the team, he knows better than anyone else the importance of Su Dong to this Manchester City team.

This is not even measurable by goals and assists. At the same time, his tactical role and his stability on the court are unmatched by any other player.

Su Dong is the well-deserved king of this Manchester City team!

Thinking of this, Guardiola couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he decisively replaced Su Dong during the intermission.

……

At the entrance of the player channel, Santa Cruz, who was arranged to take a shower in the midfield, stood there, watching his teammates play.

He never thought that in just 4 minutes, Manchester City scored a goal!

Is this a coincidence?

But where are there so many coincidences in the world?

With so many chances in the first half, neither he nor his teammates scored half of them, but as soon as Su Dong came on the field, he scored immediately.

Santa Cruz's feelings for Su Dong are extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he admires Su Dong's achievements and the strength he has shown, which makes him feel ashamed.

But on the other hand, he deeply felt an irresistible oppression.

He chose to leave Bayern back then because Su Dong's joining made him see no hope.

Unexpectedly, time has passed. After his outstanding performance at Blackburn, he came to Manchester City. He originally hoped that his career could go further. Who would have thought that Su Dong is here again!

He even had a feeling that Su Dong was deliberately targeting him?
This is of course a vain thought, because Su Dong didn't see him as an opponent at all. Su Dong was already standing too high, so high that he might not be able to see the existence of Santa Cruz.

Just like in this game, Santa Cruz fully realized the desperate disparity between himself and Su Dong.

He knew very well that as long as Su Dong was around, he wouldn't have any chance.

What a desperate reality this is!
……

With Su Dong playing, Manchester City's offense began to play vigorously.

In two minutes, David Silva reciprocated and sent a through ball. Su Dong sprinted forward, dribbling the ball and forcibly breaking away from the pincer attack of the two central defenders.

Sanchez, who followed closely all the way, quickly stepped in, calmly pushed and succeeded, reversing the score for Manchester City, [-] to [-]!

After the Chilean winger scored, he was also extremely excited.

This is Guardiola's first official European game, so why not his?
After reversing the score, Manchester City's offensive became more vigorous, continuously creating offensive opportunities.

No.603 minutes, after David Silva received a cross from Di Maria on the left, he passed the ball to Gareth Barry.

The England midfielder stepped forward and shot an angry shot directly, hitting a powerful long-range shot.

But Gareth Barry's shot was directly saved by the opponent's German goalkeeper Tremel.

The ball was thrown into the penalty area, and Su Dong quickly appeared in the most fatal position. Facing the saved ball, he easily pushed the empty goal and scored a goal in vain, smiling from ear to ear.

Three to one!

……

After conceding three goals, Stevens changed two players in a row to strengthen the team's defense.

Manchester City also accepted as soon as it was good, and did not continue to pursue.

The game soon entered a stalemate garbage time, the Salzburg Red Bull lacked fighting spirit, and Manchester City had no idea of ​​​​continuing to score goals. After all, this can be regarded as a respect for the away game.

A three-to-one reversal of the opponent is enough to ensure that Manchester City takes a victory from the away game. Why bother the home team again?
Sometimes football is like that.

It seems that he is also extraordinary. When Ronnie first landed in the Premier League, he was often kicked. Some fouls were even intended to hurt him. Why?

Because he played too lavishly!

Defensive players will have a feeling that they are already depressed when they are passed by someone. If you play tricks again and again, then I'm sorry, and don't blame me for being cruel.

The same goes for football games.

In away games, sometimes you should accept it as soon as it is good, and don't always try to score a big score.

Especially when fighting in a foreign country like this, it is also a wise move to protect yourself by restraining your edge appropriately.

……

Manchester City finally reversed the Salzburg Red Bull [-]-[-].

In the post-match press conference, Guardiola praised Su Dong by name, believing that his coming off the bench reversed the situation of the game and was a key factor for the team to reverse the opponent.

"My greatest hope now is that Su Dong can be intact every day and participate in competitions and training in good health. This is more important than anything else!"

Let Guardiola say such a thing, which in turn shows the importance of Su Dong to this Manchester City.

The media and fans also basically agree with Guardiola's remarks, because Sudong has indeed turned the tide of the battle.

In another game at the same time, Juventus sat at home against Poznan Lech from Poland.

After Poznan Lech sold the Golden Boot winner Lewandowski, his overall strength has declined significantly, but unexpectedly, Juventus performed even more sluggishly at home.

Shortly after the start of the first half, two consecutive goals were conceded, which put the Bianconeri in a desperate situation.

Subsequently, Juventus scored three goals in a row and finally reversed their opponents.

Just when everyone thought that the Bianconeri was going to win the opponent, in stoppage time, Poznan Leahy made a fatal match, replacing Lewandowski's center Rudneves with a powerful long shot, breaking Buffon's goal for the third time, tying the score to [-]-[-].

Rudneves also scored a hat-trick with this long shot!
When Manchester City received the news from as far away as Italy after their game against Red Bull Salzburg, everyone was stunned.

Del Neri what is this operation?
With the strength of Juventus, let the opposing center perform a hat-trick?

It would be fine if he was a famous player, but this Rudneves is only 22 years old, a Latvian international, who played for the Latvian domestic league and the Hungarian league before.

Having said that, it can still be seen from it that Del Neri's transformation of Juventus still has a long way to go.

You know, this summer, Juventus invested more than 6000 million euros in transfer fees to further enhance the team's competitiveness on the original basis. But from now on, the league started with a draw and a loss. First, they lost to Barry in the first round, and lost [-]-[-] at home to Sampdoria last weekend.

Today, the Europa League lost again by three to three, and the opponent was a weaker Polish League team.

This has to be worrying.
