i want to be king

Chapter 921 Look at how I deal with him!
On Fulham's bench, Senderos felt the head coach Martin Jol put his eyes back on the court, and he turned his head again, but he was extremely ashamed in his heart. Obviously no one noticed his abnormality, but he still felt countless eyes like steel needles, constantly piercing his face.

In fact, he couldn't accept himself like this, but he really couldn't help it.

For some reason, every time he met Su Dong, he would feel frightened, and even trembled all over when he was most serious.

It is a humble mentality of the weak when they face the invincible strong.

He didn't like it very much. He liked the self who was fearless back then, who would fight desperately on the court even if it was bleeding.

That's the real Felipe Senderos!
But he really can't control it.

Su Dong is like a nightmare hidden deep in his heart, every time he mentions it, it will devour his soul and make him feel cold all over his body, as if he is in the end of the world.

He even occasionally dreamed back at midnight, and when he had nightmares, he couldn't help but dream about the tragic situation of being knocked into the air by Su Dong.

That was a nightmare that he could never get rid of in his life until he retired.

…………

Sudong was substituted soon after, he replaced Dzeko.

This is also Su Dong's first partner with Aguero this season.

After hugging Dzeko on the sidelines, Su Dong sprinted directly into the court and waved at Zabaleta.

The Argentine defender wanted to hand over the captain's armband to Su Dong, but Su Dong felt it was unnecessary.

His status in Manchester City and whether he has the captain's armband are not important at all.

Whether it was Gareth Barry, Toni Kroos, or Hazard, they all ran over to give Su Dong a high five.

"I'm controlling the two central defenders, pass the ball to my side more often." Su Dong said without doubt.

Hazard, Toni Kroos and even Aguero all nodded to show they heard it.

"Pay attention to that Hangelande." Aguero leaned over and reminded.

Hangeland's reputation is not very big, but in the Premier League, his performance has always been very good.

With a height of 1.9m1000, the Norwegian central defender has the strong body and strength of the Nordics, and his defense is also very stable. It can be said that he is the pinnacle of Fulham's defense. Before the introduction of Mertesacker, Arsenal once contacted Fulham to discuss the introduction of Hangeland. At that time, Fulham offered a price of [-] million pounds.

The shrewd Wenger made a comparison later and chose the cheaper Mertesacker, but Hangeland's strength is beyond doubt.

In the previous game, he has always restricted Dzeko. Except for the header ferry to Aguero, Dzeko did not get any advantage from Hangeland throughout the game, which is evident in his defensive strength.

Su Dong understood that Aguero reminded himself that he was kind, so he immediately smiled and patted Aguero on the shoulder.

"It's okay, just watch how I deal with him!"

Aguero was a little dumbfounded.

Just... so... confident? !

……

But after the start of the game, Aguero did feel the changes brought about by Su Dong.

Obviously, he is facing much less defensive pressure.

When Dzeko was there just now, Aguero had to bear a lot of pressure. Obviously, after defending Dzeko, the Fulham defenders still had the energy to deal with Aguero.

Aguero's performance has been active, and Manchester City's offense has also improved.

Passing the ball has an advantage, and the forward line suppressed Fulham's defense line. Manchester City began to occupy an overwhelming advantage on the court. This is very different from when Dzeko was there just now.

Manchester City had the advantage just now, but Fulham was still able to move and resist, and even counterattacked frequently.

But now Fulham really can only hide and defend.

Even so, in the No.807 minute, Fulham's defense still had problems.

Aguero passed back to Toni Kroos after his attack was thwarted on the right.

After the German midfielder stopped the ball near the middle, he sent a diagonal pass over the top and behind the defense line on the left side of the penalty area.

Fulham's defense was pulled by Su Dong, and Hazard easily stepped in and unloaded the ball from midair.

Stephen Kelly retreated to the inside for the first time to intercept, but after Hazard stopped the ball, when he was about to make a fake move, he suddenly buckled the ball back and crossed it to the penalty spot.

Su Dong was originally on the right side of the penalty spot, facing the goal sideways, and blocked Hangeland with his body. When he saw the ball coming, he immediately went up to meet it, and put on a momentum of kicking directly to hit the goal.

Given the situation at the time, Su Dong could have done it directly.

Therefore, the two central defenders of Fulham, Baird and Hangeland, intercepted at the same time, as if the two gates were closed, blocking all the shooting angles of Sudong.

But what they didn't expect was that after Su Dong caught up, he didn't kick directly, but just a fake move. After deceiving the two of them, he suddenly turned the ball to the right and turned around flexibly.

After turning around, he pulled the ball to the right with his right foot, pulled a gap from Hangeland's body, and shot angrily with his foot.

The ball, like a cannonball, shot into the lower right corner of Fulham's goal quickly.

Three to two!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"At the critical moment, it was Su Dong's goal again!"

"Three to two, Manchester City surpassed the score again!"

"Look at the slow-motion playback, this is the strength of the world's top superstars."

"If he kicked directly at that time, he would still have a chance to score, but Hangeland and Baird have blocked the shooting angle, and the chances of being blocked if he barely kicked is very high, and a superstar like Su Dong, he is able to change his strategy according to the rapidly changing situation on the court."

"The shot just now was very beautiful, which fully demonstrated Su Dong's personal ability and his value to Manchester City."

"The same opportunity, whether it is Dzeko or Aguero, is difficult to grasp like Su Dong."

After Su Dong scored the goal, he rushed out of the field excitedly.

Aguero followed closely behind, full of admiration.

He now understands why Messi always has that complex expression of admiration and depression every time he mentions Su Dong.

The reason for admiration is that Su Dong's strength is really admirable, especially the top professional football players, they know Su Dong's strength and value better than anyone else, so they are very admired by Mr. Ou.

But the depression is also because Su Dong's strength is so strong that as a teammate with him, he can only live in his shadow forever.

Messi in the past and Aguero now are all like this.

But the charm of Su Dong is that it is difficult for you to feel jealous towards him.

Not only because he is too strong, but also because he is too good at life.

…………

…………

In the end, Manchester City defeated Fulham [-]-[-] by virtue of Su Dong's critical moment lore and won five consecutive victories.

After the game, the most discussed in the media was Su Dong's goal and Joe Hart's misfortune.

The two conceded goals have little to do with him, but they all happened when he was on the court, which has to be said to be problematic.

On the one hand, Courtois is becoming more and more stable and better, and on the other hand, Joe Hart is losing the ball frequently. Now even the British media can't hold it anymore.

It's impossible for them to brag about Joe Hart with the cheek all the time, right?
From the point of view of performance, England's national team is indeed inferior to Courtois as a whole. The key point is that the gap between the two sides is even more obvious in terms of the number of goals conceded. Courtois has never conceded a goal so far this season.

Joe Hart can be said to be unlucky, he can be backed by luck, and he can find a lot of reasons, but in the cruel football competition, more goals are more goals, and more explanations are useless.

So much so that even the authoritative Times believes that Joe Hart should perhaps take a break, calm down, find out the reason, and start again, hoping to win back the main position.

Yes, the Times has clearly assumed that Joe Hart has lost his place and Courtois has taken his place.

…………

Three days later, Manchester City ushered in the first League Cup game of the season at home.

This is the third knockout round of the League Cup. Manchester City was lucky in the draw and got home. Their opponent was Birmingham from the British Championship.

Although it is the League Cup, Manchester City still carried out a substantial rotation and played with an all-substitute lineup. The goalkeeper arranged for veteran Shay Wen to start. This is his first appearance this season.

As for other positions, they are basically a combination of substitutes and young players.

But even so, Manchester City still relied on home court advantage and overall tactics to suppress Birmingham, seize the initiative, and successfully took the lead in the No. 17 minute. Gareth Barry took advantage of a melee and shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area, piercing Birmingham's goal and opening the scoring for Manchester City.

No.308 minutes, Leighton Bynes sent a pass from the left, Milner passed into the penalty area, Dzeko turned around and hit the goal after stopping the ball in the chest, making another victory for Manchester City, further expanding the score, [-]-[-].

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Manchester City continued to attack.

At No. 60 minutes, three 16-year-old players came off the bench respectively, namely Sterling on the wing and Bellerin and Rekik on the defense.

Sterling and Bellerin had performed quite well in Manchester City's youth academy. After Bellerin was played, Trippier was switched to the midfielder position, pushing Thiago forward.

This is also the characteristic of Guardiola, he likes to specially transform players according to them.

Rekik is the main defender of the champion team of the U17 European Youth Championship. He has performed well, and Manchester City is also giving him some chances to play.

This is the case for all European teams. Once the young talents of the youth team do not see the hope of emerging, they will be frustrated in their progress, or they will leave the team. This is the case for all teams.

After the three young teenagers played, Manchester City played steadily.

No.709 minutes, it was the cooperation between Bellerin and Sterling on the wing. Sterling dribbled into the penalty area and fell to the ground after being fouled by the opponent, creating a penalty kick. Dzeko calmly took the penalty and made another victory for Manchester City.

Three to zero!
In the end, with Dzeko's brace and Gareth Barry's goal, Manchester City defeated Birmingham [-]-[-] and successfully advanced to the next round of the league.

But most importantly, this battle in the League Cup has allowed the entire Premier League to see Manchester City's growing bench thickness.
