i want to be king

Chapter 927 The rich will be willful, but the poor will accept their fate!

Although the goal was conceded in the first 4 minutes, for Manchester City, morale was still not affected much, and Villarreal still launched a fierce attack, and still firmly controlled the situation on the field.

Today's Manchester City is no longer the mercenary that was created more than a year ago.

The current Manchester City is the Manchester City who won the Treble and defeated the Champions League champion Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup.

Even in the UEFA Champions League group stage, facing giants such as Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan, Manchester City can beat each other. The team's confidence has been greatly improved, and they will not be defeated by their opponents.

As for the conceded goal just now, it was more of a mistake by David Luiz. The goalkeeper Courtois made a decisive attack and has already saved the first one, and even almost succeeded in the second one. His performance is also remarkable.

David Luiz's problem is beyond everyone's expectations, but within reason.

Guardiola likes his ability to dribble, pass and get in behind, and his slightly reckless mistakes are naturally well known by players, and even many times, players are already mentally prepared.

In the locker room, teammates also talked about these things about him.

Of course, there is a premise that the team can reverse.

If it can be reversed, this is a joke, if it loses, it will be different.

Marcelo has a close relationship with David Luiz. Both are the main players of the Brazilian national team. Seeing that David Luiz made a mistake and the team lost the ball, Marcelo also became very excited and behaved very vigorously.

No.12 minutes, when Marcelo advanced to Villarreal's 30-meter area, he received a cross pass from Busquets.

This long-range shot was very sudden, and it was directed directly to the right side of the goal.

Goalkeeper Diego Lopez made a flying save, but the ball slid slightly past the goal.

Just 1 minute later, it was Marcelo's quick forward move along the left flank.

Toni Kroos was in the middle of the penalty area, suddenly sent a long oblique pass, and gave the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo cuts in at high speed, grabs the ball just before the right defender Zapata, and crosses the ball with his left foot into the penalty area.

Di Maria inserted into the left side of the penalty area at the fastest speed, and shot directly without stopping the ball, but failed to hold down the ball and was too high.

No.20 minutes, after Sanchez got the ball from the right side of the front field, he threw away the defensive player and cut inward. He was fouled by the left back Katara, and won a free kick for Manchester City, which was nearly 40 meters away from the goal and the position was already biased to the left.

Su Dong took the penalty himself, took a very strange arc with his left foot, and hoisted the ball directly to the upper right corner of the goal. Unexpectedly, Diego Lopez jumped and hit the ball directly with one hand.

Subsequent corner kicks failed to create a threat.

Manchester City's consecutive attacks created opportunities, but they were never able to break through Villarreal's goal.

……

As early as when Su Dong was still playing for Valencia, he knew that the chairman of Villarreal was the younger brother of the chairman of Valencia, Roig Jr.

Roig Jr. has been running Villarreal for many years and is committed to the South American style. He has invested a lot of money to introduce a group of high-quality and low-cost South American players, such as Forlan, Riquelme, Marcos Senna, etc. These players have brought Villarreal a tyrannical strength.

During the coaching period of Chilean engineer Pellegrini, the Yellow Submarine reached its peak. Not only did it achieve outstanding results in La Liga, but it also continued to achieve surprising results in the Champions League, winning the recognition of European football.

After Pellegrini switched to Real Madrid, the Yellow Submarine hired Valverde, but his performance quickly declined. The reason is simple. Valverde's philosophy could not be integrated into Villarreal, and he even encountered seven rounds of invincibility during his coaching period.

After Valverde was fired, Roig Jr. appointed the second team coach Garrido as the team coach, which stopped Villarreal's decline, and won the fourth place in La Liga last season, and returned to the Champions League.

This seems to make people see the re-emergence of Villarreal.

Garrido can be said to have witnessed the rise of Villarreal and the whole process of Pellegrini's coaching from beginning to end, and he has been cooperating with Pellegrini to train the best youth academy in La Liga.

Before taking over as the coach of the second team in [-], he had worked in the youth team for nine years. Many young players in the first team were under his command, and the youth team coached by Garrido surpassed Real Madrid and Barcelona and became the benchmark of the Spanish youth academy.

He has every reason to succeed at Villarreal.

However, after the outstanding results last season, due to the strong rise of Malaga this summer, a wave of crazy buying was launched in Spain, which led to the departure of the core player Cazorla, and Villarreal failed to provide timely reinforcements in the transfer market, which put them at a disadvantage in La Liga.

Does burning money work?
Malaga, which ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the league last season, burned 6000 million euros and is now ranked sixth. Villarreal, who sold his core player Cazorla and earned 1000 million euros in the transfer market, fell from fourth to No. 11.

The other Getafe team, which was dug out, was in a worse situation, directly approaching the relegation zone.

And behind all this, in the final analysis, it is all about money.

Villarreal lacks financial resources, so they can only make more money, and the Champions League is undoubtedly the key.

According to the strategy formulated by the management and head coach Garrido, they want to break through the Champions League group stage and reach the knockout round.

Unexpectedly, they were so unlucky that they were assigned to the death group with Inter Milan, Manchester City and Dortmund.

There is no other way, if you want to achieve the season strategy, then you can only work hard.

So, they smashed Inter Milan, Dortmund, and now Manchester City.

If you have money, you will be willful, if you have no money, you can only accept your fate!

……

As the captain on the field, Su Dong is very familiar with La Liga and Villarreal.

He believes that in terms of strength, Manchester City has an overwhelming advantage.

Today's Villarreal is no longer the yellow submarine of Pellegrini's coaching period. Rossi is far from Forlan.

Both Marchena and his partner Gonzalo Rodriguez are only 1.8 meters two, which is [-] centimeters shorter than Sudong.

But Manchester City did not take advantage of this well.

So, seeing that the team was unable to attack for a long time, Su Dong immediately, as the captain on the field, ordered the players to slow down the offensive rhythm, slowly move forward, and penetrate and tear apart Villarreal's defense by patiently passing and controlling the ball.

The change took effect in less than 10 minutes.

First, Su Dong pulled to the right and responded to Sanchez.

At that time, Sanchez was already in a tight siege. After Sudong's transition, the Chilean winger immediately dribbled the ball inward along the perimeter of the penalty area, first asked Toni Kroos to cooperate, and then passed the ball to David Silva.

David Silva passed to Di Maria in the penalty area, but the Argentine didn't get a chance, and immediately passed back to David Silva, and then distributed to the left wing to Marcelo who came in from the back row.

Marcelo made some adjustments after stopping the ball. Before Zapata came close, he passed the ball with his left foot to the back point.

Su Dong, who was responding on the right side of the penalty area just now, quickly inserted to the back point at this time, and headed the ball from close range to a far corner.

Diego Lopez was too late to react and the ball crashed into the net.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

"No. 308 minutes, Manchester City finally broke through Villarreal's goal, one to one!"

"The game was very difficult. Villarreal was very tenacious, but Manchester City still relied on their passing, possession and strength advantages to tear through the defense of the yellow submarine."

"The long-distance connection between Marcelo and Su Dong was very beautiful, and the passing back and forth of several Manchester City players before was also very exciting. With this goal, Manchester City successfully tied the score."

……

After the score was tied, Manchester City also tasted the sweetness.

Continue to pass the ball patiently according to Su Dong's previous arrangement.

On the contrary, Villarreal, after conceding the ball, the scene was a little chaotic, and Manchester City seized an opportunity and played a quick counterattack again.

Toni Kroos dribbled the ball across the halfway line and quickly handed it to Sanchez.

The Chilean winger dribbled the ball down the right flank, advancing to the right of Villarreal's perimeter, before cutting inside and passing the ball to David Silva.

After the Spanish winger dunked the player defending him, he passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area with his left foot.

Su Dong originally came to meet David Silva on the left side of the top area of ​​the arc, but suddenly turned in a different direction and ran to the right side of the penalty area. Just in time, David Silva's pass came in front of Su Dong.

Goalkeeper Diego Lopez defended the right side of the goal, blocking Su Dong's shooting angle as much as possible.

But Su Dong is too experienced in such situations. After a fake move tricked Diego Lopez into making a save, he shot the ball with his foot.

The ball went over Diego Lopez's head and crashed slowly into the goal behind him.

Two to one!

……

After reversing with two goals in a row, Manchester City ended the first half with a [-]-[-] lead.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. After just over a minute, Manchester City grabbed the ball and launched a wave of offense.

David Silva tried to shove in from the outside of the box, but Marchena was the first to block it.

The ball fell to the right side of the penalty area, Zabaleta followed up to stop the ball, adjusted slightly, and passed diagonally to the front of the penalty area.

Su Dong quickly stepped in, facing Zabaleta's pass, he volleyed directly without stopping the ball, and Su Dong sent the ball into Villarreal's goal again.

hat trick!

Three to one!

……

Manchester City played more and more smoothly, and then Sanchez scored a goal, but was sentenced to offside first and the goal was invalid.

But Manchester City still launched a fierce attack on Villarreal.

Until the end of the game, Aguero, who came on as a substitute for Sudong, once again seized the opportunity to pass the ball from the wing and scored another victory for Manchester City, four to one!

In the end, with Su Dong's hat-trick and Aguero's goal, Manchester City reversed Villarreal [-]-[-] and won three consecutive victories in the group stage!
