i want to be king

Chapter 788 Su, Well done!

Ashley Cole pressed forward to the outside of the 30-metre area and passed the ball to Malouda in City's half.

Sanchez ran back at the first time, and when Malouda turned to the left, he hit him directly.

The two collided, and the ball at Malouda's feet was also blocked by Sanchez.

The ball fell behind Malouda, and Toni Kroos, who was about to come over to defend Malouda, stopped the ball and glanced ahead.

At this moment, Su Dong happened to be standing behind Ashley Cole, almost at the same level as central defender Alex. After seeing Tony Cross looking over, he immediately pointed in front of him.

The German midfielder had a tacit understanding with Su Dong, and he didn't think about it at all. He just put his foot on the ground and sent the ball to the direction designated by Su Dong, and passed it to Chelsea's penalty area.

Almost at the moment when Toni Kroos passed the ball, Su Dong quickly activated his whole body and sprinted forward like a rabbit.

Alex was at Su Dong's side, reaching out to grab Su Dong, but he couldn't catch him, so he could only chase after him desperately.

The whole Etihad Stadium screamed.

"A quick counter-attack from Manchester City, Toni Kroos goes straight behind!"

"Su Dong succeeded in countering offside, let's see this time!"

After throwing off Alex, Su Dong's speed was quickly raised, racing all the way, after catching up with Toni Cross' through ball, he strode forward and drove straight in.

On the outside of the penalty area, Terry chased Su Dong back, but there was still no way to prevent Su Dong from rushing into the penalty area with the ball.

After rushing into the penalty area, Su Dong pressed Cech step by step.

Terry couldn't stop it from the side, Su Dong didn't give him any chance to intervene, and Cech was near the small penalty area line, staring at Su Dong's every move like an enemy.

Finally, Su Dong made his move!

No feints, nothing fancy, just a small kick with a leg swing, and the ball passed Cech at a very fast speed.

The Czech goalkeeper lowered his body and tried to block the ball, but he was powerless.

The ball went straight into Chelsea's goal, one to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"In the 8th minute, Su Dong used a wonderful anti-offside kick to open the scoring for Manchester City!"

"A direct pass from Toni Kroos, Sudong took his chance calmly."

"This is the first shot of the two teams in the game, and Su Dong seized the key opportunity, one to zero!"

After Su Dong scored, he kept waving his hands, signaling the Manchester City fans to cheer louder.

Let your cheers come louder!

The fans at the scene also cheered wildly as Su Dong wished, cheering and cheering for the players on the field, especially Su Dong, especially when seeing Su Dong rushing to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, the whole audience was shouting his name.

One to zero!

Manchester City opened the scoring!

"This goal is very important to Manchester City. It can be said to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Su Dong has such strength. He can always stand up at critical moments."

"As Guardiola said before the game, Su Dong is a natural leader, which is why, after Su Dong joined, he put on the captain's armband for him without hesitation, because only Su Dong is the most suitable leader for Manchester City!"

…………

…………

After Guardiola saw Su Dong's goal, he jumped up on the spot and cheered.

Turning around again, I kept high-fiving and hugging my assistants in celebration.

"Su, well done!" Guardiola turned around, covered his mouth with his hands, and shouted at Su Dong, who was celebrating his goal from the sidelines.

The assistants around were also cheering and celebrating loudly.

"Ancelotti is probably deflated now!" Domenech Torrent laughed.

As early as before the game, Manchester City's coaching staff made a special analysis report.

It is also a five-game winning streak, but Chelsea's schedule is completely different from Manchester City's schedule.

Among Manchester City's opponents in the first five rounds of the league, Tottenham Hotspur ranked fourth last season, Liverpool ranked seventh, and Blackburn ranked tenth. That is to say, there are three teams in the top ten teams in the league.

Among the remaining two teams, Sunderland is well-known in the Premier League at home, and Manchester City is playing away.

In the first five rounds of the league, Wigan Athletic was the only player who really played well. Last season, they ranked No. 16. In the first five rounds of this season, they also fell to No. 18, entering the relegation zone.

But what about Chelsea?
West Bromwich Albion and Blackpool are both newly promoted, Wigan Athletic needless to say, Stoke City ranked No.11 last season, and West Ham United ranked No.17, almost relegated. In the first five rounds of this season, Stoke City ranked No.17, and West Ham United ranked bottom.

From this schedule, it is not difficult to see that Manchester City's opponents in the first five rounds are more than one level ahead of Chelsea in terms of overall strength. This is why many media believe that although the points are the same, Manchester City's gold content is higher.

Because Chelsea have not been tested in any way so far.

Of course, the strength of the opponent is due to the schedule. In any case, five consecutive victories are better than other teams.

However, it should also be noted that behind the five-game winning streak lies Chelsea's almost crushing advantage in strength. Whether it is strength, speed or technology, Chelsea must completely beat their opponents, so they can enter a wave of offensives and achieve an amazing ball possession rate. Even Essien can turn into a passing midfielder.

But Manchester City are not the opponents that Chelsea have faced in the first five rounds.

Manchester City is not only super strong, but also has excellent pass and control ability, and because of this, Ancelotti naturally chose to defend in this game instead of competing with Manchester City for possession.

Facts have proved that since the beginning of the game, facing Manchester City's possession of the ball, Chelsea has no good way but to defend.

And Su Dong's goal is a manifestation of Manchester City's style of play.

After conceding the ball, all players threw themselves into the counterattack immediately.

Guardiola requires that after the team loses the ball, it must get it back within six seconds.

Taking advantage of this kind of counterattack, taking advantage of Chelsea's counterattack and the opportunity of the back line pressing up, Manchester City quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball, and Su Dong succeeded in countering offside and scored the goal.

This is the team's overall strategy, and in terms of local offense and defense, especially on the defensive end, Manchester City's tactics are cutting.

Chelsea is not as good as Manchester City on a technical level, especially the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt.

Therefore, the strategy adopted by Guardiola is to suppress the midfield, forcing Ramirez and Essien to dare not press forward easily, and lose touch with the trident in the frontcourt.

The front trident was also cut, Malouda was handed over to Zabaleta, Marcelo had a hard time dealing with Anelka, so Busquets and David Silva actively returned to defense and helped Marcelo defend the left.

Both Di Maria and Sanchez actively suppressed Chelsea's full-backs.

Through this overall suppression and partial cutting, Manchester City contained Chelsea and firmly controlled the ball.

…………

…………

After conceding a goal, Chelsea began to act a little anxious.

But only 1 minute later, there was another quick counterattack after stealing the ball. David Silva once again sent a through ball. Su Dong succeeded in countering offside and went straight to the left side of the penalty area.

Di Maria raised his hand very depressed. He didn't understand Su Dong's intention in time. After the position change, he didn't advance decisively at the first time, which resulted in missing the best opportunity. Otherwise, it would be another goal.

No. In the 11th minute, Marcelo finally freed his hand. After a quick jump, he tried to break through on the left after receiving a pass from Di Maria. Ivanovic tripped him on the left side of the penalty area and won a free kick for Manchester City.

David Silva took a free-kick too close to the goal, and Petr Cech deflected it from mid-air.

Manchester City began to stabilize possession and frequently launched offensives against Chelsea.

No. In the 17th minute, with a pass from Zabaleta on the right, Toni Kroos made a wide-range transfer and gave it to Di Maria on the left.

Both full-backs can participate in the frontcourt attack, which shows that Manchester City has controlled the scene.

Chelsea could only defend passively. It was not until the 19th minute that Drogba got a chance in Manchester City's penalty area. He used his body to squeeze Kompany away, but he didn't kick the ball at the first time, but chose to stop the ball with his chest.

But as soon as he stopped the ball, Pepe made a decisive kick to clear the ball, which made Drogba furious.

It wasn't until No. 203 minutes, when Essien shot from a long distance, that Chelsea really completed the first shot of the audience.

And this shot almost caused Joe Hart's mistake, but fortunately it missed slightly.

Manchester City's main goalkeeper has been unstable for three consecutive games.

But soon, Manchester City changed their colors. Su Dong used a sudden shot from 30 meters away and almost broke through the goal guarded by Petr Cech.

The two sides came and went, and the scene gradually became tense again.

Chelsea also took advantage of the trend and stepped up their pressure on Manchester City's midfield. In the 207th minute, Ramirez broke into the penalty area again and was blocked by Pepe on the goal line, failing to break through Manchester City's goal.

In the 30th minute, Su Dong turned around to get rid of Mikel after receiving a pass from his teammate. He dribbled the ball forward along the middle, approaching Terry and Alex, forcing Chelsea's two central defenders to retreat again and again.

Seeing that he was about to retreat to the front of the penalty area, Mikel, who had been chasing beside him, suddenly intercepted the ball.

The ball didn't break, but it tripped Su Dong about 25 meters away from the goal.

The referee Marina was aware of the situation, and immediately blew the foul whistle, gave Mikel a yellow card, and gave Manchester City a free kick in the front court.

Su Dong grabbed the hands of David Silva and Sanchez and got up from the grass.

Looking at Mikel who retreated angrily, Su Dong showed a sly smile.

Just now he deliberately sold a loophole to Mikel, luring him to make a foul.

One-on-three, it's no wonder he can get by.

Well now, at least I have earned a free kick in the frontcourt.
