i want to be king

Chapter 953 Let me come!
When the game went to 58 minutes, Guardiola made the first substitution of the game.

He replaced Milner with Aguero.

This is a signal to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense.

Hodgson on the opposite side also responded quickly, replacing forward Odemwingi with No. 17 midfielder Graham Dorrance. Although Dorrance has both offense and defense, replacing the striker with a midfielder is itself a defensive signal.

The two head coaches are also using their own means, Guardiola wants to attack, and Hodgson wants to stabilize the defense.

The game continued to be deadlocked like this.

In any regular football game, defense is always easier than offense, and the requirements for players are lower, which is why almost all weak teams will adopt defensive counterattack tactics instead of taking the initiative to attack.

Goals need to be created, defense only needs to be destroyed.

That's why football reforms have always encouraged offense and goals.

Some people say that football tactics are spiral.

In fact, you can look at it this way, that is, with the development of technology and the advent of the information age, the means and abilities of training players are also constantly improving. From diet to physical training, and from various data analysis, these have caused earth-shaking changes in player training.

The result is that the player's body becomes faster and stronger.

So the question is, will the control of the ball improve with the progress of the times?

The answer is, no!
Unborn geniuses like Pele and Maradona will change their style of play, style of play, and body, but they are still super geniuses who have never been born.

Players who can control the football skillfully on the football field like these geniuses will always be a minority.

With the progress of the times, the defense will become stronger and stronger, the pressure will become tighter, and the space left for offensive players will become smaller and smaller. Everything will always develop towards the side that is more conducive to defense.

Therefore, reforms are needed to encourage offense.

By the same token, in a football match, especially on Boxing Day, when both sides are in poor form and fail to score, it is actually the defensive side that has the upper hand.

But after Manchester City replaced Aguero, their performance still did not improve much.

Aguero was placed by Guardiola in a position similar to that of midfielder and attacking midfielder. It is hoped that he can play back and play, cruising behind and around Su Dong, ready to catch fighters at any time, but he did not perform well.

After playing for about ten minutes, Su Dong communicated with Guardiola on the sidelines, found Aguero, and exchanged positions with him.

"You go up, I retreat."

After finishing speaking, Su Dong ran back to the midfield without waiting for Aguero to agree.

The Argentine striker couldn't believe it, Su Dong wanted to play the ball for himself?

He felt flattered, which made him more powerful in the frontcourt.

But soon, Aguero found that he was thinking too much.

……

When the game progressed to No. 707 minutes, when Manchester City fell slowly in a midfield, West Bromwich Albion had already organized a tight defensive formation, and the pace of the game slowed down.

Just as Thiago, who was lagging behind, held the ball and was looking for a point of exit, he saw Su Dong running back and raising his hand to ask for the ball.

Thiago passed the ball to Su Dong almost without thinking.

Behind Su Dong's side was Dorrance, who had just come off the bench, performed very vigorously, and was very active in running.

But before Dorrance approached, Su Dong pulled the ball directly, stopped and turned around, immediately blocked Dorrance to his side, and passed the ball to Aguero in front of him.

"Step on it, let me do it!" Su Dong shouted.

Aguero ran over to catch the ball, and when he heard Su Dong's shout, he stepped on the ball subconsciously, and then felt a majestic figure galloping towards him like the wind. The pressure on his face made him feel suffocated for a while.

With a light step, I felt that the ball I stepped on just now was stabbed away by Su Dong.

Su Dong's explosive power is too fast!
When Aguero reacted and looked at the past, he had already picked up his speed. With the ball, he went straight to West Bromwich Albion's defense, and in the arc top area of ​​the penalty area, facing the center back Olsen in bloomers, he suddenly made an emergency stop and turned the ball to the right.

From starting, to sudden stop and change of direction, to kicking the door, everything happens in an instant.

By the time everyone reacted, the ball had penetrated West Bromwich Albion's defense like a bolt of lightning, flew between the two central defenders, and entered the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Foster swooped sideways, but it was too late.

The ball crashes into the net!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Another long-range shot from Su Dong's heavy artillery!"

"At the top of the penalty area, Su Dong hit West Bromwich Albion's goal with a heavy shot!"

"It's so beautiful! It's so hearty!"

"Manchester City finally took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the No.707 minute, [-]-[-]!"

After Su Dong scored the goal, he clenched his hands into fists, raised them above his head, and roared angrily.

The surrounding Manchester City players also followed suit.

Aguero stood there, staring at Su Dong dumbfounded, as if he was looking at God.

He now finally understands why Su Dong took the initiative to ask for a retreat.

It turned out that it wasn't to make the ball for him, but because he couldn't see it, and felt that after he came off the bench, he failed to change the trend of the game and share the defensive pressure for him, so he simply came and let himself go up.

Thinking of this, Aguero is really ashamed, but more admired.

He has always known that Su Dong is very strong, but this time it is really too strong, and he can't help but admire him.

It happened that a teammate rushed up from Aguero's side, which woke up the Argentine striker, and he immediately rushed towards Su Dong.

…………

…………

Su Dong's goal opened the door to victory for Manchester City.

It's not that West Bromwich Albion didn't think about counterattacking after losing the ball, but Hodgson obviously knew very well that it was impossible for his team to defend their own goal in the case of a counterattack.

So in the end, the bloomers gave up the counterattack and continued to concentrate on defending, waiting for Manchester City to make a mistake.

In the end, Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion [-]-[-] away with Su Dong's goal.

As the team's scoring hero, Su Dong took the initiative to accept media interviews after the game and defended many teammates who performed unsatisfactorily in this game. He said that many Manchester City players are still not used to the intensive schedule of the winter break. In addition, it is Boxing Day, so the overall performance of the team is not particularly satisfactory, which is understandable.

"Anyway, we got the precious three points in the end." Su Dong laughed.

These three points allowed Manchester City's winning streak to continue, and it has reached [-] consecutive victories.

It is no longer news that Manchester City won the half-time championship. The real news is whether Manchester City can win the half-time championship with [-] consecutive victories, that is, a record of complete victories.

You know, whether it is the Premier League or the history of England's top leagues, no team has ever won the half-time championship with a record of complete victories, and even in other top leagues, this is unique.

When the media reporter asked about it, Su Dong said that he was looking forward to the team's No.19 game.

Unfortunately, Manchester City ushered in consecutive away games, which is indeed very unfavorable for Manchester City.

In the No.19 round, the opponent is the black cat Sunderland coached by Martin O'Neill, which is also a hard stubble.

Su Dong jokingly said that even the schedule does not hope that Manchester City will win the half-time championship with a complete victory record, but Manchester City is full of expectations and desires for this.

"This is a rare honor for all of us."

But Su Dong has repeatedly reminded everyone that Sunderland is not a simple team.

Don't look at the black cat Sunderland currently ranked No. 15 in the Premier League. Facing the top seven teams in the league, except for Manchester City, they only got a draw against Liverpool. Without exception, they all lost.

But it would be a big mistake to underestimate Sunderland because of this.

The team coached by Martin O'Neill also has famous stars such as Wes Brown, O'Shea and Bendtner, which makes the black cat Sunderland not weak, and even against Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams, Sunderland can play back and forth, which shows its own strength.

……

In this battle on Boxing Day, many Premier League teams have lost points one after another.

Chelsea drew Fulham [-]-[-] at home, Liverpool drew Blackburn [-]-[-] at home, and Arsenal drew Wolves [-]-[-] at home. All three games were [-]-[-], which made people see the difficulty of the Boxing Day battle.

But the biggest surprise was Manchester United.

The Red Devils played at home against Wigan Athletic. With Wayne Rooney on the bench, Berbatov's hat-trick and goals from Park Ji-sung and Valencia beat their opponents [-]-[-].

This is already two consecutive rounds of the Red Devils, with a [-]-[-] victory over their opponents. The last round was an away game against Fulham.

What made Ferguson most happy was that the chic Berbatov actually regained his best form in the Christmas devil's schedule, which greatly improved Manchester United's weak offense and beat their opponents in two consecutive rounds.

More importantly, five attackers scored goals in the previous game, while Berbatov, Park Ji-sung and Valencia scored goals in this game. This makes Manchester United's offensive lineup look like it is blooming everywhere.

The team's big victory brought confidence to Ferguson, and at the same time allowed him to regain his ambition to hit the league championship and reverse Manchester City.

Ferguson said that Manchester United is an extremely experienced team and has a fine tradition of reversal, so he is not worried about how much behind Manchester City now, because no matter how many points behind, he will find a way to reverse.

The British media also gave a very high evaluation of Manchester United's strong recovery.

But when the Red Devils were given overwhelming praise outside, Manchester United revealed their secrets in the No. 19 Premier League round three days later.
