Chapter 42 Encountering the Barbarians

Maine Road Stadium, today will be Manchester City's first home game this season, and his opponent is Wimbledon.

Because of Manchester City's outstanding performance, more and more fans are coming to support Manchester City. Except for the area reserved for the opponent, the Maine Road Stadium is already full.

Messiah was fascinated by the fans' voices. Although he couldn't hear what they were shouting, the atmosphere was very good and he was very moved.

The game started, and Manchester City kicked off first. This time, there was no change in the main force of Manchester City. Ronaldinho was still sitting on the bench. Messia did not let him enter the starting lineup because of his outstanding performance.

The ball came to Seedorf's feet, he didn't pass it forward, but passed it back backwards, Wimbledon didn't rush up to fight, the two sides seemed to play very conservatively.

Only Messia understands that it's not that Wimbledon is conservative, but that they are good at defense and don't like offense very much. This is also the strangeness of this team.

After 3 minutes, Manchester City started their first tentative attack, which was initiated by Seedorf. He started to lead forward, waited for someone to grab it, and then sent the ball to Teban Matias Cambiasso behind , a two over one continue to dribble the ball, and then without waiting for the next person to come up, cross Litmanen who is on the parallel line with him.

Litmanen splits the side, and then quickly advances himself. After Henry takes the ball, he starts to go down, and then passes back to the full back Ashley Cole who came up to meet him. Passed to Litmanen who was plugging in, Litmanen kept the ball, passed it to Ronaldo, Ronaldo made a pendulum pass, and then went to the penalty area to hit the goal.

The football and the goalkeeper brushed each other, the ball went in, the score was 1:0.

The whole process is clear and well-coordinated, fully embodying the strength of the whole, which makes people want to watch and is very excited and enjoyable.

Ronaldo ran to the fan area and shook his fingers, with a pure smile on his face.

Standing on the sidelines, Mesia didn't show much joy, because Wimbledon is not a strong team, let alone skills and tactics. What Mesia is afraid of is that they will play horizontally and crush their bodies.

Although on the surface it seems that the physical fitness of the players on both sides is similar, you must know that the physical confrontation of Manchester City's players is within the normal range of the game, not strong but not weak.

But Wimbledon is different. What they play is the body, not to mention small movements, so Messia is afraid that because of a game, he will be injured a few times, so it is not suitable.

The first ball was accidental, Wimbledon was not familiar with Manchester City's rhythm, and did not show their rogue at the beginning, so the goal was relatively simple.

But it's easy to say now, the game has only passed 16 minutes.

The game continued, Wimbledon kicked off, they played the traditional 442, so after the kick off, they mainly played a combination of side and center.

Maybe it was stimulated by the goal, and this time the offense was a little more active, but it's a pity that the players' strength gap is too large. One dribbled the ball, and just halfway through the half, he lost the ball.

Messia's mouth is wide open. How can such a team still mix in the Premier League? They are not as good as the teams in the League One.

But immediately Messia knew what Wimbledon was relying on.

Originally, Manchester City should counterattack immediately after getting the ball, and the Manchester City players also thought so, but the opponent suddenly lost the ball and passed the ball to his feet, which made him stunned for a while. The man who lost the ball came up.

The speed is not slow, Manchester City's players have no time to react, and fly out directly.

The referee immediately blew his whistle, indicating a foul, and immediately warned the opponent.
