Chapter 952 "Pep Style" Football

The audience behind the red No. 7 all stood up, pious Ping stretched out his hands and shook, trying to pass his spiritual power to his captain in front of him——

Mr. Zhang hesitated. He saw Mr. Wu, Bald Qiang, Dong Zi and Dakui all stand up and shake their hands together with everyone. Even Feng Yihan stood up a little "shyly" and imitated——

"what--------"

Bald Qiang was extremely surprised, the always serious old man stood up and stretched out his hands, he couldn't help exclaiming: "This is not Zhang Lao, you are Tai Chi movements..."

The free kick on the left sideline next to the penalty area is farthest from the goal. It is extremely difficult to directly break through the gate of Manchester City. Li Liang put down his right hand and directly took a free kick with strong rotation——

The two sides competed fiercely at the front point, and Kompany beat the national team teammate Lukaku to take the lead in clearing the siege with a header.

Asuka headed the relay point to Xiwa, who turned around beautifully on the spot and got rid of McTominay, then dunked the upper thigh of the grabber, and sent a long pass directly!

Sane started like a rocket, and Ashley Yang was completely at a disadvantage in the pursuit and lost his balance and fell to the ground——

Yang's plot failed, and Sane who was hit just staggered twice and immediately returned to the full-speed sprint state!
Bayi, who made up for the replacement, rushed up at an astonishing speed, but was still half a beat too late, and Sane touched the ball first and waded over——

Smalling desperately chased back, and Sane's continuous shifting speed has exceeded one position!
In desperation, Smolin fell to the ground and put the shovel——

De Gea has also rushed out at full speed——

With a bang, the ball rushed straight into the stands.

The home fans immediately cheered loudly, applauding Sane who knelt on the ground with his head in his hands and couldn't believe his eyes.

Guardiola turned around angrily and waved and cursed. Torrent, Arteta and other assistants were extremely depressed on the coaching bench.

Lineker exclaimed, "What happened?
Looks like both teams are wearing the wrong jersey? !

Manchester United penetrated and besieged the densely defended Manchester City with more than 10 consecutive short passes, and then Manchester City launched a long pass to counterattack and almost succeeded? ! "

Ferguson told Charlton: "That's why the turf isn't adjusted?

To hit Pep with Pep's tactics? ! "

Charlton smiled bitterly: "It can only be said that Pep and Jose are too familiar with each other!"

Manchester United began to organize an attack, Li Liang ran back to the center line to demand, and when he turned back and moved forward, he found that Blue Moon had already set up a tight defense line in the midfield——

Gerald said suddenly: "I see!
The opening strategy of the two sides is the same, both try their best to contain the opponent's most threatening offensive tactics in the defensive position——

So no one should try to open the gap with the method they are best at! "

Lineker asked: "If that's the case, then why don't United put more water (on the turf)?"

Gerald was speechless for a moment.

Seeing the thigh and Yang switch positions on the left side of the front court, Valencia even assisted near the penalty area, Gerrard slapped his thigh: "Manchester United want to compete with Manchester City for possession?!"

Li Liang began to cooperate with the thigh continuously, and Sane immediately caught up with the Manchester United captain like a shadow.

After De Bruyne approached, Sane immediately gave up the defense zone and chased Yang who was rushing forward——

Faria cursed in a low voice: "Damn, they all thought of it!"

After seeing Li Liang looking for a fighter but turned around and transferred the ball to the right with his big foot, Magic Bird replied: "Aren't we too?!"

The combination of Laporte and Asuka made a mistake in grabbing Valencia, and Manchester City regained the ball.

Xiwa continued to speed up to get rid of Matic's pursuit and then handed the ball to Sane. The German winger continued to change direction and failed to get rid of Valencia, so he simply turned around and gave the ball to captain Kompany.

Heizi was a little disappointed: "Ding Ding, why didn't it look exciting on TV!

Brother Liangzi played so well in the last game, and Manchester City's little cooperation was also fierce! "

Ding Ding replied: "Looking at the scene must be different from the perspective of the broadcast...

Besides, this is a knockout match, they must all be waiting for an opportunity, waiting for who will make a mistake first! "

Seeing the two sides fighting in the midfield, Lineker sighed: "The first half of the game has come to the 15th minute. After the mutual tentative attacks at the beginning, the two sides turned into a stalemate in the midfield.

I think Jose will miss Paul (Pogba). If Paul is on the court, he will help Lee share a lot of pressure. "

Gerrard shook his head: "As far as I know, Paul is recovering very well and should be able to play the whole game..."

Lineker was a little surprised: "Steven, you mean——

Jose intentionally put Paul on the bench?

But why did he do this? ! "

Gerrard stared at the field, Li Liang suddenly accelerated in the middle and tried to force a breakthrough, Kompany directly pulled the Manchester United captain——

"It's just speculation, I'm not sure," he said.

Seeing that the referee didn't even give a verbal warning to the captain of Blue Moon, there was a huge booing in the stands, and many excited fans even cursed.

Mendy finally saw a familiar figure not far away, and he happily squeezed over to hug Falcao, Mbappe and Talon one by one.

"Benjamin, why did you come?" Mbappe asked.

Mendy said with a bitter face: "The club is shooting a documentary, and there are shots of me in the stands of Manchester City fans."

Falcao asked, "What documentary?"

Mendy couldn't help cross-examining and said, "Uh--

The club wants us to have a real breakthrough this season, so we will be recording these key games..."

In the 19th minute, Xiwa instigated an attack in the frontcourt. Sane made consecutive breakthroughs from the left side of the penalty area, and was surrounded by Smalling and Valencia.
The ball was played very positively and the speed of the ball was not very fast, but the Brazilian center Gabriel Jesus rushed forward with lightning and stretched his foot in front of De Gea to hit the ball!

Amidst the exclamations and screams, the ball bounced violently, bounced off the unprepared De Gea and flew into the goal——

The Brazilian got up and rushed to the stands where the Manchester City fans were, and made the iconic "call" action——

The crazy celebrations of the Manchester City fans came to an abrupt end. Jesus was shocked to see the opposite Blue Moon fans holding their heads with their hands, and more people began to reprimand loudly——

Jesus stopped to celebrate and looked back disappointed to see the referee indicating that the goal was invalid!The lineman at the far end is holding up the flag resolutely——

The replay on the big screen showed that Jesus, who had been activated before Laporte shot, threw away Bayi by more than one position!

The Red Devils fans who escaped from death immediately regained their enthusiasm and began to shout with all their might.

Ferguson's face was getting ugly: "...It's very difficult to beat Pep with the ball, the idea is really stupid!"

Charlton also shook his head again and again: "Yes, we only have a few players, including Lee, but this also provides them (Manchester City) with first-class turf!"

Lineker sighed: "Although the ball was offside first, Manchester United's attempt to play 'Pep' football seems to have been considered a failure!
Manchester City are controlling the situation with ball possession and ground passing! "
