Chapter 976 Ibrahimovic, if you have the guts, don't run away!

In the crowded Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans were shouting hoarsely.

The score was still two to zero, with the home team ahead and the visiting team behind.

After the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half, the situation of the game still did not change much. Manchester City continued to firmly lock the ball and rhythm. AC Milan could only blindly defend and get beaten.

Players such as Ibrahimovic, Shalawi and Robinho can only vent their anger through long shots.

Anyone can see that the overall strength of the two sides is not at the same level.

Not long after the start of the second half, Manchester City actively launched an offensive on the two sides and won corner kicks one after another.

It is now 1 minute into the second half. Sanchez made a forced breakthrough on the right and created a corner kick.

David Silva stood in the corner and slowly raised his left hand.

AC Milan's penalty area is full of people, one staring at the other.

Manchester City arranged a total of three central defenders tonight, Pepe, David Luiz and Harvey Martinez, all tall and strong players with excellent header ability, plus a high center forward Su Dong, which made AC Milan's defensive players feel the pressure.

Corner kicks were created one after another, but they still failed to pose a threat. Su Dong decided to adopt a different corner kick tactics this time.

Just now a group of people got together to talk, and everyone followed Su Dong's arrangement.

Now Pepe and David Luiz are in ambush at the front, Harvey Martinez is standing in the middle, and Su Dong is in ambush at the back. AC Milan is also facing a big enemy, specially arranged for Nesta to mark Su Dong, Thiago Silva to defend the front, Van Bommel and Ambrosini and others also returned to the penalty area.

In an instant, there was a panic in AC Milan's restricted area.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were also tense.

Only hearing the referee's whistle, David Silva ran up and kicked a corner kick with his left foot.

Not a tactical corner!

AC Milan's defensive players immediately followed the players they were marking.

I saw Pepe and David Luiz, who were ambushing at the front point, running at the same time. David Luiz took the initiative to press forward and ran out of the range of the goal.

Immediately, Thiago Silva and Ambrosini, who were defending them, didn't think much about it. They immediately followed the two Manchester City central defenders. The right post of the goal was directly in front of the goal, and the area before the point was suddenly empty.

When a corner kick is taken, the defensive player has no time to judge the path of the ball. The first thing is to keep up with the player he is marking.

If not, the path of the ball has been judged, but the landing point is not within your range, and the opponent gets stuck in the position first, how can you defend yourself?
First follow closely the target you are guarding, and then judge the landing point. Even if you can't grab the landing point, your opponent can't grab it either.

But this will bring a risk, that is, missing people.

There are many types of leaky defenses, and one of them is what Manchester City wants to create now.

Almost at the same time that Pepe and David Luiz started running, Harvey Martinez broke free from Van Bommel, took two quick steps forward, and then suddenly backed away, which made Van Bommel, who followed him every step of the way, not think much, and immediately followed him back.

Di Maria, who was originally near the penalty spot, quickly slanted to the back at this time. This move attracted Nesta's attention, while Su Dong quickly rushed forward taking advantage of Nesta's swaying opportunity.

It was between Pepe and Harvey Martinez that Su Dong rushed over, and Nesta, who was following him, was blocked by two Manchester City players.

Everyone was shocked, and no one knew what was going on.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and even the live TV could only see Su Dong suddenly rushing forward from the back point, jumping high in the empty position at the front point, like a god descending from the earth.

David Silva's corner landed exactly in that spot, and Sudong flicked his head in from close range.

The ball hit Su Dong's head, turned in one direction, and quickly shot into the upper right corner of AC Milan's goal.

Bonera, who was in front of the goal, used both hands and feet, trying to hit the ball, but he didn't touch it at all.

The ball goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Three to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"In 1 minute, Manchester City used a corner kick to knock on AC Milan's goal again, and Su Dong scored a hat-trick!"

"My God, Manchester City's cooperation this time was very exciting, especially the movement of the players, which dazzled the defenders and made them unable to cope. However, Su Dong calmly seized the opportunity and hit the goal with a header."

"Three to zero! Su Dong completed his first hat-trick in this season's Champions League knockout round!"

After landing, Su Dong rushed out of the court excitedly.

Pepe, David Luiz and others behind him also rushed forward frantically, throwing him to the edge of the court early.

The whole Etihad Stadium is shouting his name.

"This is a slow-motion replay. I still can't see the running positions of the Manchester City players clearly. Let's slow down."

"It can be seen that Manchester City's players cooperated very well. Pepe and David Luiz created a defensive vacuum at the front. Harvey Martinez and Di Maria made a feint. Su Dong's movement was very fast. Nesta wanted to follow, but was blocked by Manchester City's players."

"We can only see the clever running positions of Manchester City players through slow-motion playback. AC Milan's players are changing rapidly, and it is difficult to keep up with the running coordination of Manchester City players."

"fantastic!"

"Manchester City scored the third goal of the game, a hat-trick from Su Dong!"

Manchester City's players happily walked back to the pitch after celebrating their goal on the sidelines.

AC Milan's players were like roosters who had lost a fight, they all died down and their heads were downcast.

No wonder.

The zero-to-zero first round gave them hope and made them think that they could attack Manchester City. Even before the game, when Allegri arranged his tactics, he also used offense to offense to try to win away goals.

It is the first time for Manchester City to participate in the knockout round of the Champions League, which makes many people feel that Blue Moon lacks experience in the knockout round, while AC Milan is one of the giants with the most experience in the European war, so it is normal for them to have such an illusion.

But when it came to the game, the cruel reality slapped them three times.

…………

…………

With Manchester City scoring three goals in a row, AC Milan completely gave up their luck.

In 5 minutes, Allegri replaced Shalawi with Kevin Boateng, let Robinho go up and partner with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a double striker, and the lineup configuration also returned to the one set in the first round.

But the facts have also proved that the same set of tactics and the same set of lineups have completely different effects in different game environments, especially when Manchester City replaced Harvey Martinez with Trippier after 65 minutes of the game. When the team returned to the four-three-three tactics, Manchester City's offensive power became significantly stronger.

Contrary to what many people imagine, Manchester City's three-four-three is actually more to improve ball control ability, and four-three-three is to activate the team's offense, because the two full-backs will be more active forward and form an advantage on the side.

This also reflects Guardiola's determination, that is, to give AC Milan a complete defeat at home to avenge the first round.

AC Milan also understands this, so they retreat with all their strength.

But even so, Manchester City still seized an opportunity at No. 706 minutes.

After stealing the ball in midfield, Trippier made a 45-degree diagonal pass to the frontcourt to find Sudong.

Su Dong retreated behind Van Bommel, stopped the ball with his back, turned around and went straight behind the left side.

Di Maria slanted into the left side of the penalty area. After stopping the ball before Bonera, he made an emergency stop and suddenly started, throwing off the defender, and passed the ball low with his left foot to the back point.

The unguarded Sanchez rushed to the goal and easily pushed the mid-air goal, four to zero!

The Chilean winger roared with excitement and rushed out of the field crazily, waving his hands all the way, looking extremely excited.

This is the first Champions League knockout goal in his career, how can he not be excited?
This goal also completely killed the game!

Afterwards, although AC Milan still had a counterattack, they were basically unable to play a decent offense. After leading by four goals, Manchester City did not continue to chase and fight hard, but left some face for the visiting team.

After all, after leading by four goals, Manchester City has firmly won the right to advance.

In the end, the game ended with a score of four to zero for Manchester City.

…………

…………

At the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Etihad Stadium completely turned into a sea of ​​jubilation.

Su Dong was also deeply encouraged and celebrated with his teammates on the court.

Many of them participated in the Champions League knockout round for the first time, or participated in the UEFA Champions League knockout round as a main player for the first time, and the draw in the first round made them feel very uneasy and uneasy, and also under considerable pressure.

But precisely because of this, after winning now, they are extraordinarily excited and excited.

Participating in the Champions League for the first time can reach the quarter-finals, which is definitely a satisfactory answer.

More importantly, Manchester City's management has offered a heavy bonus for the Champions League. To be able to break into the quarter-finals, every player in the first team can get a considerable game bonus.

Fame and wealth are in both hands, how can anyone not be happy?Who wouldn't be excited?
After celebrating with his teammates, Su Dong went to bid farewell to the AC Milan players who were about to walk off the pitch.

Nesta, former teammate Van Bommel and others, although they couldn't hide their disappointment, still congratulated Sudong in a very gracious way. Even Robinho shook hands with Sudong politely when they met.

Back then, when he joined Real Madrid, the media always compared him with Su Dong. Over the years, Robinho was far from meeting the expectations of the outside world, not to mention the new Pele, not even the first-tier stars.

What disappointed Su Dong the most was that he didn't see the rebellious Swedish center on the court.

It is estimated that this guy slipped away after the game.

Pity!
Ibrahimovic, don't run if you have the guts!
