my team is going to attack

Chapter 71 Three-game losing streak

In addition to wanting to introduce a striker, the mood in Manchester City is not very good.

There are quite a few players who also want to leave, especially those who were the main players last season, but this season there are no players who even have the chance to play.

For example, old captain Dunn, midfielder Johnson, Ireland and several other players all have the idea of ​​leaving Manchester City.

So Su Bai must be in this devil's schedule, not only to win the game, but also to optimize the team's lineup.

After a few days of rest, Su Bai led the team to White Hart Lane in London.

In the 17th round of the Premier League, they will be a guest against Redknapp's Tottenham.

Lao Lei's team performed very well this season. Although they have not yet entered the top four, compared to previous seasons, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tottenham has risen.

Since entering the new century, Tottenham have often lingered in the relegation zone, and have struggled to relegation success every season.

This season was once ranked in the top four in the league, even now they are only four points behind No.4 Arsenal.

They are very hopeful this season to hit the European seats.

不过最近三场比赛表现并不是很好，1比1战平阿斯顿维拉，接着2比2战平埃弗顿，然后上一轮他们0比1还输给狼队。

But this is the team, the offense is very nerve knife.

在此前的比赛中，他可以5比1大胜赫尔城，也可以5比0大胜伯恩利，更是在主场9比1创纪录的战胜维冈竞技。

So if Tottenham and their offense go crazy, they will really see who they are and destroy who they are.

Facing Manchester City in this round, Lao Lei naturally played with all the main players.

Goalkeeper, Gomez,

Defenders, Joel Luka, Dawson, Bassoon, Hector,
Midfielder Lennon, Huddlestone, Palacios, Kranjica,

Forward Defoe, Crouch.

The reason why Tottenham were able to play high-scoring games in the first few games has a lot to do with their striker Defoe.

So far this season, Defoe has scored 12 goals, ranking first in the scoring list.

Defoway became England's main striker.It’s funny to say that in the first half of last season, Defos was sent to Portsmouth, and then in the second half of the season when the old Ray came from Portsmouth, he also brought Defoe back to White Hart Lane Stadium.

After half a season, Defoe returned to Tottenham again.

There is another Robbie Keane, who also went from Tottenham to Liverpool, and then returned from Liverpool half a season later.

This kind of show operation can only be done by Tottenham.

Su Bai also made some personnel adjustments today.

The goalkeeper remains the same, Hart.

At the back, Cahill returned from injury, partnering with Marcelo, Zabaleta and Richards.

Midfielder, Mascherano, Fernandinho, Wright Jr., Johnson.

Forward Royce, Negredo.

Today Su Bai did not use the 433 formation, but chose 442.

Su Bai also used this formation to express his dissatisfaction with the loss to Bolton in the previous game.

Cahill returned from injury, as for Maicon, he will be observed for another week, and Kompany's performance in the last game was also very bad, so Su Bai put him on the bench this round.

The biggest change is in the midfield. David Silva, Robben, Lewandowski, and Bell did not start, but sat on the bench.

The performance of these offensive players in the last round was too bad, and it was decided to let them sit on the bench and calm down.

In this game, both Su Bai and Redknapp let their teams play offensive football, and the whole game was very unrestrained.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, Negredo got a very good chance. He received a through ball from Marcelo in the small penalty area and shot the ball. Unfortunately, Dawson flew to save the ball and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Crouch, who turned his head to replace Robbie Neo, did not jump at all when he took the corner kick. Down, also higher than the beam.

Then in the 9th minute, Tottenham's fast winger, Marlennon, dribbled the ball straight down from the right, and Manchester City's midfielders couldn't keep up with his speed.

In the cross, Kranjca shot from a distance of 15 yards, but it still missed the right post slightly.

However, there was a discordant scene on the field at this time. Tottenham players Hades and Negredo quarreled on the field.

The referee was not relentless, and each person received a yellow card, telling you to calm down.

In the 18 minutes of the game, another controversial scene occurred. Defoe was tripped by Mascherano in the penalty area, but today's referee Willy refused to award a penalty.

Instead, he signaled Defoe to stand up and not flop.

This immediately ignited the atmosphere at White Hart Lane, and angry Tottenham fans shouted and insulted Willy loudly.

Lao Lei and his coaching staff also rushed to the sidelines, very emotional.

Willy still insisted on his penalty, pushed away the Tottenham players surrounding him with both hands, and warned them that they would play cards if they came again.

In the 20th minute, Lennon took a corner kick, and it was still Crouch, who was taller and had an advantage.

Crouch headed the ball, and Kranjica, who was standing next to him, shot in the penalty area. Unfortunately, his shooting skills were not good, and the shot missed.

After the restart, it was Manchester City's turn to counterattack this time. Cahill made a long pass from the midfielder. Negredo overwhelmed his defender in the penalty area. He stopped the ball in his chest and then turned around and volleyed. Missed the target.

Still Cahill passed the ball, this time it was Royce who received the ball and shot from 30 yards.

The quality of Royce's kick was good, and he shot backwards within the range of the goal. Unfortunately, he couldn't pass Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez and held the ball out of the baseline with one palm.

Johnson's corner kick allowed Tottenham to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Because he was too close to the goalkeeper, Gomez rushed out and tossed the ball to Lennon on the wing.

The latter was very active, turning around and putting Marcelo behind him. Fortunately, Cahill did not leave his position. At this time, Lennon had no choice but to pass back to the middle. Hudson, who followed up, was caught Zabaleta was entangled, and as soon as he caught the ball, Zabaleta snatched it from the side.

It was Manchester City's turn to counterattack again.

The two sides came and went, and the whole half played very intensely.

At 37 minutes into the game, Tottenham still took the lead at home.

In this game, Lennon, who performed well in this game, passed Zabaleta easily on the right, and made a pass from the edge of the penalty area. Crouch beat Richards with a header in the small penalty area, and the ball allowed Royce, who returned to defend, to stretch his leg to block out.

But the ball landed at the feet of Kranjčar, who didn't waste the opportunity and shot from close range, and Hart couldn't react, after all, the distance was too close.

1 is better than 0
Tottenham, who played at home, took a one-goal lead, and Manchester City, who was behind, continued to attack the opponent's goal at the request of Su Bai.But today's bad luck, brother Ma, Negredo, the next shots all missed the goal.

Spurs maintained their lead until the end of the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City was hit. Negredo charged the goalkeeper at 48 minutes. Willy showed him a second yellow card again. Two yellows turned one red and he was sent off.

Su Bai always feels like the house is leaking and raining all night. When you are about to start, you can only beat 10 to 11.

However, Su Bai did not retreat, and he could not retreat, replacing Royce and Lewandowski, and continued to attack Tottenham.

At 58 minutes, Tottenham expanded the score again.

Goalkeeper Gomez made a long pass from the free kick in the backcourt, and it was the tall guy Crouch who had an absolute advantage when fighting for a high-altitude penalty kick.

Under Cahill's defense, Crouch gave Defoe a header.

Marcelo rushed to clear the siege, but missed the ball. The top scorer in the Premier League this season did not waste his chance, stabbing the goal from the edge of the penalty area.
Even if they were behind by two goals, neither Su Bai nor Lao Lei stopped the team's offense. Throughout the game, both of them kept the team's high-tempo attack.

It's just that Su Bai was really unlucky today, the players did not perform badly, but they were always a little short of scoring goals.

For example, Lewandowski, who came off the bench, shot in the penalty area and was saved by Gomez, and then Cahill received a header from the corner, allowing Crouch to make a clearance on the goal line.

In the end, Johnson did not fool Gomez when he lobbed in front of the penalty area, and hugged easily.
