Chapter 150: The Weak Side

"Aguero!! Sergio Aguero's clever follow-up !! Pretty!!! The ball went in!! Manchester City pulled a goal back!! ”

The Etihad Stadium instantly became a sea of cheers, and when Aguero made a follow-up shot, the Manchester City fans behind the goal all stood up from their seats and raised their arms high!

"Huh... Wait!!!!!! In China, in the live broadcast room of CCTV, Duan Xuan sighed. Manchester City pulled a goal back, and now the score is 1-3, although Manchester United is still two goals ahead, but it has to be said that Manchester City has pulled the suspense back of the game, and Manchester United's victory is not guaranteed. ”

'Pep Guardiola's adjustments were very effective, and City kept moving the ball from front to back, from left to right, and finally opened the gap on the right flank. Raheem Sterling's shot was blocked by David De Gea with his chest, but there was nothing he could do in the face of Sergio Aguero's shot!! Andy Gray said from the commentary seat.

Ancelotti jumped up in the dugout, just now Manchester City's attack made him smell the danger signal, and the opponent really scored on this side, what worried Ancelotti even more was that Manchester City's goal was not the kind of long-range shot that hit the world wave on the periphery, nor did it pass the ball into the penalty area, and the defender made a mistake to let Manchester City score.

This goal was entirely an opportunity created by Manchester City's own slow passing and mobilization, which means that Manchester City could replicate a similar goal!!

I can't let the other party pass so easily.

Carlo Ancelotti immediately called for a substitution.

Lingard was urged by Ryan Giggs to warm up, and although technically it would be difficult for him to compete with Juan Mata or Di Maria for a main position, Lingard's strength lies in his fitness, aggressive running, and good pace, which make him a qualified tactical flagman.

"Go up and kick the right side and strengthen the run! Wrap up the opposing player with the ball!! ”

After Carlo Ancelotti's final explanation, Jesse Lingard stood on the sidelines and was ready to come on as a substitute.

City's players didn't celebrate, they ran into their own half of the pitch after scoring to get back to play as soon as possible, but a substitution from United halted the game for more than a minute.

It was Juan Mata who was substituted.

Mata took off his shin guards, held them in his hands, and jogged to the sidelines.

At the urging of the referee, United finally completed the substitution.

After Manchester City's goal, the ball returned to United's side.

In fact, Manchester City's strange formation is not without flaws, their flanks are too weak, three defenders, two midfielders, are hoarded in the middle, this is purely to strengthen their own passing position, when they do not have the ball, the weak wing becomes their weakness.

Manchester United certainly spotted this, and the ball quickly spread to the wings.

Jesse Lingard, who had just come on as a substitute, broke through Sane!

Sane is a good winger, but he's really not very good at defending.

Lingard dribbled the ball all the way to the left side of the Manchester City penalty area, and then Fernando made up for this position - Otamendi and other central defenders did not dare to come out, because Li Qingshan has been in the middle, just in front of the central defenders, if there is not enough defenders, when facing Li Qingshan, the players in the back line will always be uneasy.

Lingard, who came up with the ball all the way, saw that he was unguarded, so he rushed directly into the penalty area.

At this time, Manchester City must have someone to defend Lingard, otherwise it would be a death to let a professional player take the ball into the box.

Fernando posted it.

Jesse Lingard stopped the ball and handed it to Paul Pogba in the middle.

These two are good friends, good friends who have trained together in Manchester United's academy since childhood, so there is still quite a tacit understanding between the two.

Pogba stopped the ball with his right foot and reached out to keep Fernandinho on his left.

Li Qingshan turned his back to the goal and demanded in the penalty area.

Pogba passed the ball, Li Qingshan stopped the ball with his right foot, arched his buttocks, and pushed Kompany, who was pressed behind him.

Otamendi tried to cut the ball over from the other side and Zabalata came too.

Three-person siege!!

Li Qingshan doesn't seem to have any good solutions, he has to pass the ball back.

Sure enough, Li Qingshan made a gesture with his right foot to push the ball back, but at the moment when the arch of his foot was about to touch the ball, his right foot suddenly crossed the top of the football, and then the arch of his foot hooked the ball behind him, and then turned around halfway, and shot sideways with his left foot!!

Kompany was hit by Li Qingshan's loss of center of gravity and almost fell backwards, but before he fell to the ground, he still reached out and blocked the ball off the line.

The Belgian broke out in a cold sweat, and Bravo also broke out in a cold sweat.

It was too dangerous, the three of them were surrounded and robbed, and Li Qingshan completed the shot.

It's a... Monster!!

Manchester City's players looked at Li Qingshan with fear in their eyes, Manchester City's morale was high after the goal, but Li Qingshan's shot let them know that their goal was in danger at all times, especially when the wing defense was so weak.

The result of Manchester United's easy cross was to see how Li Qingshan, a tall centre-forward, performed his header in the box.

The same goes for corner kicks, Di Maria's corner kick on the left side, the football flew towards the Manchester City penalty area with a distance spin, Li Qingshan jumped high in the middle, and rubbed the ball far away with his forehead........

Oh........

There was a sound of inhalation in the stands, and the Manchester City fans held their heads and looked at the box in horror.

However, Li Qingshan's rub was still a little thinner, and the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the column.

Pep Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief that possession was finally back on City's side. He put on such a formation, completely aimed at the attack, and if City are lucky, they may be able to pull the score back...

The current situation has left Guardiola pinning his hopes on luck.

City are so skilled on the ball, so skilled that people would think they could have played this game all game if they wanted to, but now they are the side behind and even if they are skilled on the ball, they need to press up and attack.

And it's risky to press on the offense!!

Like this time!!

Sane made a mistake in passing! Cut off by Herrera midfielder!

Herrera didn't waste time, he passed the ball directly to Li Qingshan!!

Li Qingshan took the ball with his back to the attacking direction, he didn't turn around, and flicked the ball with his right foot and dialed it to Lingard, who was inserting forward at high speed!!

Jesse Lingard took a step forward with the ball and passed it directly from the right to the left...

"Di Maria !!!!!"

Amid the commentator's roar, Di Maria took the ball into the box on the left!
