Chapter 112 The First Round of the Semifinals

On January 1, the first round of the League Cup semi-final was played at Elland Road Stadium.

In the locker room, the fat man started cursing after getting Manchester City's starting list. "Chilean engineer" Pellegrini really didn't let the fat guy worry, and sent most of the main players to fight Leeds.

In the starting list, the center forward is Aguero, the three front midfielders are De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, David Silva, the double midfielders are Delph and Fernandinho, and the four backs are from the right. To the left are Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala and Clichy.

The goal will be Argentine veteran Caballero.

What worries the fat man the most is Aguero. Blue Moon's number one sharp knife declared his return as king with a goal in the previous league match with Watford.

The Argentine center is short in stature and does not seem to have the physical fitness of a traditional center player. At Atletico Madrid, he also relied more on speed, agility and dribbling ability to find opportunities in front of the goal.

But when he joined the "Blue Moon", thanks to the continuous improvement of core muscle strength, the short and strong Argentine center did not lose the slightest in the confrontation with the strong men in the Premier League, and with his good jumping ability, he always scored Wonderful header.

Excellent physical fitness coupled with excellent dribbling, precise shooting, excellent grabbing awareness and surprising explosive power, plus the attributes of being good at scoring goals in big scenes (Aguero's last game in the 11/12 season A round of lore QPR helped Manchester City win the long-lost Premier League championship), Aguero has become a nightmare for all Premier League defenders.

Fatty's lineup was much easier to understand, he didn't even rotate the position of the goalkeeper, and went straight to the main force.

After the game started, the fat man felt that his worries seemed a bit unnecessary, because the one who ravaged Leeds in the backcourt hated the most was "Tintin" De Bruyne, who only joined Manchester City this summer.

The Belgian midfielder's transfer fee reached a staggering £5400 million, more than three times the fee he paid for his move from Chelsea to Wolfsburg a year and a half ago.Just because Ding Ding dedicated a phenomenal performance in the Bundesliga last season: scoring 10 goals and sending out an astonishing 20 assists!
The fat man observed Tintin closely, only to realize his horror.His ability to get away from the spot and pass the ball is like a crime!

I saw Ding Ding received Delph's pick pass with his chest in the midfield. Under Cook's strong interference, Ding Ding steadily stopped the ball with his right foot in the air.

This short moment integrates stopping the ball, turning around, and getting rid of it.

In order to destroy Ding Ding's possession of the ball, Cook took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground with a shovel.

Ding Ding then dexterously stepped on and pulled with his right foot. During the second pause caused by his stepping on the ball, he just avoided Cook's tackle, and then Ding Ding quickly pulled the ball to his left foot.

Cook still wanted to get up and grab again, but Ding Ding didn't give him this chance. With an iconic pass from the outside instep, the ball drew a perfect arc and landed at the feet of David Silva on the right side of the front court. The speed, strength and angle of the oblique long pass are just right.

Fatty's feeling on the sidelines is that Ding Ding is using a scalpel to dismember Leeds United's defense line after knife.

After receiving the pass, Silva swept the football in front of the goal. Fortunately, Coady kicked the ball out of the baseline first.

The fat man was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Ding Ding's corner kick accurately found Mangala in the crowd. Fortunately, the Frenchman missed the right position and the kick was high and flat.

This made the fat man miserable, under the fear of being dominated by Tintin, he couldn't even breathe freely.

In the subsequent transition from defense to offense, Ding Ding proved that he is the most beautiful boy in the midfield.

He cruised to the left side of the front field, and after receiving a pass from Yaya Toure, he did not stop the ball and made a diagonal pass from the outside of his foot. The football perfectly bypassed the two Leeds defenders and came to Aguero.

The Argentine center stopped the ball forward and faced the goalkeeper directly.

Fortunately, Gollini struck out in time, blocked the shooting angle, and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

From this ball, it can be seen that Aguero is not in the best condition after returning from injury, otherwise he can pass the goalkeeper just by accelerating.

Just now, Tintin's pass made the fat man completely speechless. The football crossed half the field, as accurate as comparing it with a ruler. This is not a crime, what is it!
Slowly, the fat man felt that Pellegrini's lineup for this game was a bit incompatible. There was no real winger in the frontcourt, and the three midfielders needed to hold the ball without absolute speed. It seemed that they were competing with each other. hold back.

In addition, Ding Ding has just arrived and has not yet been established as the core. Now the boss of Manchester City's frontcourt is "black and hard" Toure.

Yaya Toure is 32 years old and in decline in all aspects, but no meritorious player will give up his core position.Because the core position not only symbolizes glory, but also means the highest salary of the team.

The fat man gradually saw such a picture. After De Bruyne had a few amazing performances, Toure stopped passing the ball to him very much.

Toure chose to take more long-range shots after getting the ball in the frontcourt, but he no longer had the accuracy of his peak, and most of the long-range shots missed the target.

This also greatly consumed Aguero's enthusiasm. The Argentine center didn't even bother to run when he saw Toure holding the ball.

Under such circumstances, Leeds United gradually stabilized the situation and tried to counterattack.

After Toure shot a shot straight into the sky from the penalty area line, Gollini saw the opportunity and quickly opened the goal kick.

A short kick found Hughes who was running back. After taking the ball, Hughes quickly turned around. Under Delph's constant interference, he stubbornly stuffed the ball at the feet of Blade Warrior (Traore).

Faced with Chrissy's pull, the blade warrior maintained a good balance, and the frequency of his feet became more and more pleasant.

Chrissy, who grabbed the opponent's jersey, soon found that he was being dragged away!
The strong overtaking of the Blade Warrior forced Chrissy to accept his old age.

Traore, who was three meters long, soon came to the penalty area line, and the red beibei in the penalty area shouted at him in unproficient English: "Pa... ss me!"

Hong Beibei was really in a hurry, afraid that the blade fighter would shoot again, but he never thought that the blade fighter who is a Spaniard can't understand English at all!
Traore still heard the roar of his teammates, obviously hesitated, wandering between shooting and wanting to shoot.

It was this hesitation of a few tenths of a second that gave Mangala a chance. The Frenchman swept the ball with his long legs and knocked the ball out of the baseline.

Seeing this ball, Fatty's lungs exploded on the sidelines: What are you going to do?He jumped up and punched the ceiling of the coach bench hard.

At this time, the first half had entered stoppage time, and Leeds United went all out, leaving only two full-backs wandering on the center line.

Hughes carefully placed the football and looked in the penalty area.

He raised his right hand high, and then started to run up and kick up.

I saw Maguire staring at the ball and taking off, fully stretching his body in the air.Toure, who was marking him, was obviously distracted, so he could only try to raise his hand to interfere after Maguire took off.

The soft interference was useless, Maguire made a standard head shake, and the football hit the goal net hard!

Leeds United scored first in the passive beating!

The energy that a person explodes in depression is even more astonishing. After seeing the football hit the net, the fat man began to dive hysterically in celebration!
The fat guy crazily ran for dozens of meters in front of the home fans, a bold "bomber dive".

Completely ignite the Elland Road Stadium!
