Chapter 154
Cook shouted to encourage his teammates after the goal, and Steve caught Cook touching Cindy Jr.'s tattoo before yelling.

The taciturn boy finally became brave under the gaze of the little angel.

Cook found that Phillips was a bit difficult to support as a single midfielder, so he expanded his running range to reduce the defensive pressure on his side.

Most of the players that Leeds United played today have become familiar with the 433 formation at the end of last season. Coupled with the continuous rehearsal in the preseason, they have become more and more accustomed to the 433 running and positioning.

On the other hand, Manchester City, apart from the newly joined Stones and Nolito, are all veterans of the team in today's starting lineup. They are obviously still adapting to Guardiola's tactics, mainly relying on the personal strength of the frontcourt players. Opportunities are being created.

After losing the ball, Leeds gradually regained the dominance of the game by relying on tacit running and passing.

Steve noticed that the oily man (Red Fern) kept writing and drawing in a small notebook while observing the performance of the Leeds players in attack.

Steve couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and pretended to be nonchalant, he moved towards Brother Oily Little by little, and finally moved to an angle where he could peep.

Fatty noticed that Brother Youtou drew the running map of each player, and even took a false aim at some traveling and passing routes. Because the drawing was too abstract, Fatty lost interest in an instant.

On the court, Cook brought down Sterling who was dribbling the ball through a fierce tackle. Sterling's small arms and legs rolled several times on the lawn.

Sterling stared at the referee Madeley with big innocent eyes. Madeley signaled that there was no foul and told him to get up quickly.

Sterling joined Manchester City last season with a value of 4400 million pounds plus 500 million floating fees. After one season, he played 31 times in the league and only scored 6 goals, which was far below the expectations of the fans.

His performance on the court is far inferior to Liverpool's 3s (Sturridge, Suarez, Sterling's offensive combination) period, which also made Sterling questioned by fans.

Guardiola won Sane, who is also a winger, in the transfer market.Compared with Sterling, Sane's physical fitness is stronger and his speed is more abnormal.

The joining of Sane made Sterling feel the crisis.If Sterling can't show a better performance, he will be put on the bench by Guardiola.

In today's game, Sterling was closely guarded by Robertson, and he was also shoveled by Cook from time to time. Sterling only felt hopeless, and he couldn't play this ball.

After Cook steals the ball, he immediately presses forward to instigate the offensive.

Sterling got up slowly and failed to return to the defensive position in time, which caused Gua Shuai to yell at him. The voice of the abuse was so penetrating that it made Sterling tremble all over. It felt like a bench. He was already waving at himself.

Cook quickly advanced to the top of the arc in the penalty area. Fernandinho was afraid of Traore's speed, so he did not choose to grab, but chose to block Cook's passing line.

Seeing that Cook had no chance, he could only transition to Joe Allen's feet.

At this time, Robertson seized the opportunity of Sterling's failure to return to the defense and advanced at high speed. Leeds United formed a numerical advantage on the left!

Allen saw this and transferred the ball with a non-stop diagonal pass. The football drew a wonderful arc and came to Robertson's feet accurately.

Sagna on the right of Manchester City was so angry that he was about to scold his mother. Now he has to defend against Robertson's kick pass, and also defend against James who needs to cooperate.

Robertson didn't make Sagna entangled for too long, and directly kicked a cross at a 45-degree angle.

The ball landed on the side of Kolarov's defense. Belotti was keenly aware of Robertson's thoughts and ran directly towards Kolarov.

It is really difficult for a full-back to compete with Zhengyin center for the top.Although Kolarov is 187cm tall and 6cm taller than Belotti, Belotti has a sharper prediction of the landing point and starts faster.

Belotti easily won the header, and a standard center forward shook his head and smashed the ball out!

Caballero soared into the air, stretched his arms lightly, and lifted the ball over the crossbar with his fingertips.

The TV director understood the psychology of the audience very well. After Caballero made this wonderful save, he immediately cut the camera to Joe Hart who was on the bench.

Big Mouth Carragher did not forget to add fire: "It seems that Hart has to sit on the bench for a longer time."

Carragher expressed his dissatisfaction with Hart in previous interviews. He believed that it was Hart's poor performance that led to England's upset and being eliminated by Iceland. The national team should reconsider the positioning of Hart.

Steve outside the court also slapped his hands angrily. Facing a strong team like Manchester City, we must seize limited opportunities. It is a pity that Belotti's goal just now.

This corner kick will be taken by Phillips. This young man who only started at the end of last season has shown his talent for taking set kicks early. After a summer of hard training, the free kick made Steve in A deep memory in the training match.

In the game against Domzale, Phillips' free kick assisted Cook's header, which strengthened Steve's confidence and decided to give the 20-year-old the right to set the ball. .

Before taking the corner kick, Phillips pretended to raise his hand to signal his teammates, but secretly confirmed his eyes with Maguire.

The ball was looking for the top of Maguire's head. Stones' small body was like a bamboo pole against the overly strong Maguire.

Relying on his tendons, Maguire suppressed Stones so much that he didn't even jump up. It was too bullying and violent!
The fat man suddenly felt that Stones was really pitiful.

Maguire made a wild impulse and the ball went slightly wide of the right post.The Manchester City fans sitting behind the goal screamed in fright and almost broke the city gate. It was too impactful and scary.

Guardiola was also very dissatisfied with this defense, and he spread his hands at Stones and yelled angrily.

With only 10 minutes left in the first half, Leeds continued to pose a threat to Manchester City's goal, which also boosted the morale of the Leeds players. It seems that the "tyrant" players on the opposite side are not as strong as imagined.

In a good situation, Fatty also felt a little worrying: James is basically invisible on the court, and he is too awkward to play on the left side. It seems that he needs to consider supplementing a Zhengyin left winger.

Just thinking about the current situation of the club, Fatty became even more worried. Will the club still invest money?

Joe Allen seems to adapt quickly to Leeds' style of play. He can always observe his teammates' running positions and send threatening passes. The tacit feeling seems to have cooperated with each other for many years.

Allen once again saw the defensive gap between Silva and Clichy, and a through ball as precise as a scalpel found Traore again.

Traore showed excellent control over his body, not only throwing Clichy away with a sudden start, but also maintaining his body's balance under Kolarov's constant impact.

Traore took the ball straight to the penalty area. The Manchester City fans behind the goal were shocked again and shouted: "Tmd! Stop him."

Kolarov was irritated by the noise and decided to take a gamble. He fell sideways and tackled the ball under Traore's feet with the inside of his foot.

It's a pity that he underestimated Traore's speed too much, this kick only shoveled into the air.

Traore faced Caballero directly in an instant. He observed Caballero's position and directly volleyed the far corner with his right foot.

This shot was very fast, and Caballero had worked hard to save it, but the reaction speed was still too slow.

The football whizzes past Caballero's glove, hits hard...

At the far post!

"Fuck!" The fat man was so angry that he swears, and the oily brother was so anxious that he threw the small book to the ground heavily.

Stones was very focused and hurried forward to clear the ball out of the sideline.

At this time, there was a scene of disharmony on the field, and Kolarov and Clichy began to blame each other.

"My grandma can run faster than you!"

"Fuck! If you didn't miss it, can I come and wipe your ass?"

A Serbian and a Frenchman are surprisingly fluent in English at this time!
Silva hurried forward and pulled them away, and the two were still chattering.

Guardiola quietly watched what was happening in front of him, thinking secretly whether he should find an opportunity to kick these two troublesome spirits away.

Clichy was basically defeated by Traore in one-on-one, which also disrupted the team's defensive system to a certain extent, because the teammates always had to think about filling for him.

Guardiola looked at Clichy, then at the bench, lost in thought.

The Leeds players became more and more excited as they played, and De Vrij, who wanted to atone for his sins, even overwhelmed halftime.

De Vrij tried a long-range shot in the crowd, but it was a bit too strong and failed to hit the goal.

After this shot, the referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.

Carragher concluded: "Welcome to the Premier League, Guardiola! This first half was enough for Josep (Guardiola) to understand that the Premier League is not so easy to mix."

Blue Moon fans originally hoped that the team would usher in a big victory, but this halftime made them feel like they were eating fly shit.
