my team is going to attack

Chapter 90 Red Card
Manchester City strengthened the press in the midfield, and Liverpool immediately fell into a passive position.

Royce and Wright Jr. on the wing also became active, and the two performed brilliantly on the wing many times.

In the 18th minute, Lewandowski received a pass from Royce in the penalty area. After he unloaded the ball to his feet, he used his body to withstand Carragher behind him.

Cahill from the backcourt followed up and received a return pass from Lewandowski at the top of the penalty area. He kicked the ball without stopping, but Reina was very focused. Very high, but not able to get past Reina's defense.

He hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists, Babel stopped the ball with his chest, and was about to turn around, but the ball was intercepted by Mascherano next to him.

Brother Xiaoma didn't want to dribble the ball to challenge his old club's defense, but returned it to David Silva who entered the right side.

Seeing the dense crowd in the penalty area, Silva did not blindly play the ball inside, but returned the ball to Kompany behind him.

Reorganize the attack and pull Liverpool's players out of the box.

Gerrard directed his teammates to go up to intercept, and Kompany suddenly passed the ball to Maicon on the left.

Maicon received the ball and passed it directly into the small penalty area. Inside, Lewandowski, Petrov, Mascherano, all three squeezed into the small penalty area.

Lewandowski missed the ball at the front point, and Mascherano behind him pushed the ball with his shoulder.The ball missed the target and was still far from the goal.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester City got a very good chance.

Under Manchester City's fast pressing, Liverpool's defender Insua made a mistake. After receiving the ball from goalkeeper Reina, he originally wanted to turn around, but he didn't expect Royce to come so quickly.

Royce kept stretching his feet and hands to interfere with Insua. The latter suddenly returned the ball to Reina, but he didn't realize that his teammate Reina had turned around, and his kick was not strong.

"Be careful the ball is coming!"

Insua regretted it after taking the ball. Royce had already passed him and headed for the ball. He hurriedly reminded Reina loudly.

Originally, Reina was already half-turning around, but he didn't expect his teammates to dig a hole for him, so he turned around and rushed out immediately.

Royce's speed is very fast, and he touched the ball before Reina, trying to pick it up and pass the opponent's goalkeeper.

It's just that he underestimated Reina's reaction speed. The moment Royce picked the ball, Reina stretched out his hand and gave the ball on the top of his head to Insua in front of him. Hot potato, kick the ball to the opposite half with a big foot.

Bang bang! !
Reina stood up and punched Insua a few times, "Concentrate and don't panic."

Insua also waved to Reina to signal that he understood.

Like the fans on the sidelines, Su Bai let out a cry of pity. It was indeed a pity that Royce could not seize such an opportunity. If it was Robben, he might have passed Reina on the ground.

However, Su Bai didn't think there was a big problem with Royce's handling. Many forwards also liked to use pick-and-roll methods to get past the goalkeeper. It's just that this time Royce couldn't fool the more experienced Ray. accept.

After all, Royce is still young and has little experience in the game. He must be inferior to Robben and the others in handling some details.

After Marcelo received the ball, he came up from the backcourt. Seeing that Petrov in the middle circle was free, he passed the ball over. Petrov received the ball forward, and Benayoun came from the side. They also have to learn from Manchester City. That way, strengthening the press in midfield is at least as easy as making your pass easier.

Petrov wanted to pass Benayoun, but who knew that the opponent didn't take it and intercepted the ball. After losing the ball, Petrov immediately surrounded him, using both hands and feet, and Benayoun pressed Petrov to find it. Gerrard in front.

Gerrard rushed to Manchester City's penalty area with the ball, but Wright Jr. and Cahill closed the door, and the ball was accepted by Maicon behind him.

Gerrard is not a player who likes to dribble the ball into the opponent's backcourt, but now Liverpool's frontcourt has no one who can hold the ball except him.

Gerrard misses his former teammates Alonso and Mascherano, as well as Torres on the bench.

In the 30th minute, Silva found an opportunity on the left side of the edge of the penalty area. There were no defensive players around him. Silva aimed at a far corner. The arc of the ball had already stretched him far, but it was Reina's stretched finger. At one point, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline for a corner kick.

After driving out, let Carragher hit the first point and push out of the penalty area. Marcelo was right in front of the ball, and he kicked the ball. Rodriguez did not flinch, and used his chest to block this powerful shot. out.

"Ho ho!"

Rodriguez took a few deep breaths, and the ball was blocked back to the midfield by him, and he rubbed his chest hard a few times, which hurt a lot.

Gerald came up and patted his shoulder, "How? Is it okay?"

"can."

Rodriguez replied loudly.

"Nice job," said Gerrard, who was very pleased with the bloodiness of his teammates. Marcelo's strong shot and the ability to block it with his chest at close range are all heroes.

Manchester City's offense was blocked, and Liverpool was still very tough even if they were pushed back to defend. For a while, neither side was able to get a good chance to shoot.

Before the end of halftime, Liverpool almost scored a goal. Gerrard took a corner kick. Skrtel beat the defensive player Wright and shook his head. The ball rubbed the post and went out of the baseline.

Then, Marcelo led the ball past Gerrard in the backcourt, and the latter suddenly made a shovel. Wharton was not soft, and a second yellow card was issued.

During the 15-minute intermission, neither Su Bai nor Benitez made any substitutions. Manchester City launched a charge just after the second half started.

In the 49th minute, Wright passed Lucas from the right side and dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom line. When he wanted to pass back, Babel blocked the bottom line and took a corner kick.

Silva and Pony made a tactical corner kick. After receiving the ball, Pony gave it back to Silva when the defender rushed out. The latter passed the ball into the small penalty area. Skrtel grabbed Lewandowski He pushed the ball out of the baseline in front of him.

This time the corner kick was replaced by Petrov, this time Petrov drove outside the penalty area, waiting here was Royce, stop, Royce volleyed on the spot, but hit his teammate, Cahill Said very hurt.

Then, Silva and Petrov surrounded the middle circle of Dirk Dirk and turned around a few times. Dirk still failed to pass the ball and was stabbed by Silva. Petrov went straight to the frontcourt. In front of Lewandowski, who was grabbing the position, Lewandowski and Agger were pushing against each other with their bodies, stepping on the ball under their feet. Lewandowski held Agger with his hands below, but did not let the other party come forward. Of course, Agger's The hand is also pulling under Lewand's jersey.

Seeing Royce coming up from the left, Lewandowski knocked across, but when Royce received the ball, Carragher was already guarding his inside line and could not cut inside. Royce could only take Carragher to the bottom line.

The bodies of the two are not on the same level. Royce is still much worse than Carragher. After several collisions, he almost lost the ball, and Insua is also coming to help defend.

Kicked the ball in Carragher's leg and the ball bounced off the baseline.

Royce can only use this way to solve the attack.

Silva took another corner, but this time it was too close to the goalkeeper and Reina jumped up and took it off with both hands.

Throwing the ball to Rodriguez on the right, seeing that there is no teammate in front of him, he had to take it up by himself, but Manchester City's defense immediately came over, before reaching the middle circle, Rodriguez was caught by Mars Celano snatches the ball.

Rodriguez, who fell on the ground, complained to the referee Walton that the opponent had fouled, but Walton ignored it, indicating that the ball was a strike and there was no problem.

Brother Xiaoma handed the ball to Royce on the wing again. This time Royce didn't go down because he saw the gap between Agger and Insua and aimed at the through ball. The speed of the ball was not enough. Slowly, out of the corner of Agger's eye, he saw Lewandowski crossing the line of defense from behind.

The ball can't let it go.

With an awkward movement, Agel fell sideways to the ground, poking the ball that had passed through himself and Insua out of the baseline with his toes.

Lewandowski regretfully signaled a strike to Royce.

In just a few minutes, Manchester City won four corner kicks.

Petrov took a corner kick, Lewandowski hit the first point, the angle was not enough, and it fell into Reina's arms.

Reina saw the situation in the midfield. He rushed to the edge of the penalty area with the bomb in his arms and threw it hard to Babel.

"Tick!!"

Wharton showed a yellow card to Mascherano, and then took out a red card, and Xiao Ma did not protest. This is an obvious tactical foul.

If Xiao Ma didn't pull Babel, he could single out Maicon, leaving only Maicon and Hart behind, Xiao Ma subconsciously made a tactical foul.

PS: I watched the Champions League last night and Chelsea won. Maybe many people thought Manchester City would win before the game, right?Is Guagua careless?It may also be that the Manchester City players are too proud.

Didn't Sterling say before the game that the only one who can stop them is himself?It really worked.

Also, Abu is really old now, with white hair all over his head, and the years are merciless.

My own favorite team is Chelsea, even though I am writing about Manchester City, I hope Chelsea's group of talented young players can do better.
