Chapter 1088: Me Too!

When FC Twente stepped onto the Manchester City Stadium, the players and the manager were still thinking about qualifying with Manchester City.

In the final round of the group stage, Twente hosts Manchester City, and by that time both teams may have appeared in advance.

It's going to be a friendly game. FC Twente fans will hang a banner in the stands that reads "FC Twente and Manchester City join forces".

In this game, Twente's tactics are to defend to the death, strive to be able to keep 0:0, and getting a point is also a victory.

Facing Manchester City, who boast glory and Ibrahimovic, Twente's manager Predholm is not delusional that he can beat Manchester City on the road......

Judging by the first half, FC Twente's tactics were very successful.

Their stubborn tactics didn't allow City to score.

City were a little underdog at the start of the game, but after 20 minutes, they found that they couldn't score, so they started attacking aggressively and were a little impatient.

For their impatience, Twente shrank even harder.

In the end, the two sides played to a 0:0 draw in the first half.

"The players in Twente in the first half were very tenacious and they could go back to the dressing room with their heads held high! And if City can't solve the situation where the attack is rushing up, I don't think their attack will improve in the second half. The Dutch TV commentator commented on the first-half performance between the two sides.

In the dressing room, Rafael Benitez was very harsh in his criticism of the team's first-half table.

Pride is followed by impatience, and there is simply not a minute that is right.

Rafa Benitez demanded that the team have to change that mentality in the second half, to be calm and recognise that FC Twente are a very strong opponent and very difficult to deal with. Treat them like defending champions.

After all, they also drew 2-2 at home to Inter Milan.

"The defending champions were held to a draw by FC Twente because they were beaten lightly, are you going to repeat the mistakes of the defending champions?"

※※※

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Twente played with more ease after a successful first half.

They insisted on a rigid strategy, believing that as long as the game dragged on until 75 minutes, City would become more and more impatient, and then the attack would be completely disorganized, and Twente would be closer and closer to the goal of picking up a point.

City will face seemingly endless numbers of FC Twente players in and out of the box every time they attack.

In this way, Chelsea's dense defence in the last league game was almost full of holes compared to FC Twente......

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored in the previous game, faced all kinds of close pressing from the Twente players in this game, and there was no chance to score.

The same is true for Glory in the box, as long as he has the ball, he is a Twente player in front of him, left and right.

Like now.

Glory ran into the box to receive a pass, but he couldn't get close to the goal because it was full of people from Twente.

David Silva, who picked up the ball on the flank, opted to force a cross, but there was nothing too good for him to do......

As a result, the ball hit the foot of the Twente player who came up to defend him, and there was a change of direction.

Instead of flying in front of Ibrahimovic's goal, he flew back towards the penalty spot.

It's too late for Ibrahimovic to turn around and catch the ball again.

Glory, who wandered in the penalty area, was more flexible, and he changed direction directly to chase the landing point of the football.

Relying on excellent explosiveness and speed, he took the football one step ahead!

However, after Rong Guang stopped the football with his chest, he also lost the opportunity to hit the goal.

Because at this time he was already facing away from the goal, and there were two players behind him who were close to the defender, making it impossible for him to turn around!

At this time, it seems that the only way to pass the football out of the penalty area is to glory......

At this moment, Glory suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

He thought of the goal from Ibrahimovic's last league game.

"Heels" brainwashed him in the past half a week, so that he even appeared in his dreams when he slept.

With your back to the goal and you can't see what's behind you at all, how can you shoot?

Only the heel!

Yes, shoot with your heels!

Thinking of this, Rong Guang suddenly raised his right leg, and then slammed the football he stopped back with lightning speed!

Like a pool cue cue on a cue cue ball, a white soccer ball drilled between two Twente players!

The FC Twente players, who were close to Glory, didn't expect Glory to kick the ball with their heels, and they didn't react to the close action!

The football was knocked out by glory, not only through the two Twente players who defended him closely, but also through the entire Twente defense, the Twente players in the penalty area did not react to this sudden kick, after passing through two people, there was a Twente defender under the crotch drilled over!

Even goalkeeper Vanov is the same. Because he was all teammates in front of him, his vision was blocked.

He didn't even see Glory raise his foot to shoot.

He was shocked when he saw the soccer ball suddenly come between his teammates' legs!

At this time, it was completely instinctive for him to fall to the ground to save again.

But the distance between the football and him is too close, and the body's instincts are too slow in the face of this distance......

When he fell to the ground, the ball had already slipped under his armpit and rolled into the goal!

※※※

"Ball...... The ball went in?! Because there were so many people in the box, John Mortensen, who was sitting in the commentary box, didn't see it too clearly, he just saw Glory kick the ball with his heel all of a sudden, and then everybody, legs, legs, legs, legs

Then he saw Twente goalkeeper Vanov fall to the ground.

Then he saw the net move.

But he was still not sure if the football had gone in, because he didn't see the ball in the goal - the area in front of the goal was tightly blocked by players from both sides.

Second, he didn't see Ibrahimovic raise his arms and cheer. If City have scored, shouldn't Ibrahimovic celebrate as a Manchester City player?

But it didn't take long for John Mortensen to react - with Ibrahimovic's relationship with Glory, how could he possibly raise his arms and cheer for Glory's goal? He hadn't once celebrated a glorious goal!

Thinking of this, John Mortensen couldn't care about anything for a while, even if he didn't see the football in the goal at all, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "GOOOOOOOOOAL!" Glory! Glory! A brilliant back-heel goal!! ”

At this time, the words were shouted, and he finally saw Sneijder raise his arms, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground—he had finally made the right bet, and there was no shame......

He was betting on Rong's super personal ability just now.

At the same time, there was a huge cheer from the entire Manchester City Stadium, and apparently those Manchester City fans also confirmed that the goal was really scored!

"Heels! Rong's heel goal! This may be the farthest heel from the goal! John Mortenson continued to shout excitedly.

When Rongguang shot with his heel just now, he was already almost on the line of the big penalty area, which is really far away...... The average person can't guarantee a goal goal rate when shooting in a normal way in this place, let alone a heel shot.

Glory can really be said to be "the art master is bold"!

Alan Hansen suddenly remembered: "Ibrahimovic had just beaten Chelsea with a back-heel goal in the last round of the league...... Now Rong has scored another heel ......"

He and John Mortenson looked at each other, and John Mortenson laughed.

It's no secret that Ibrahimovic and Rongguang are competing in the dark, so it's natural for the two of them to associate it with this.

Is this a comeback not to be outdone after seeing Ibrahimovic score a backheel ball?

It's so likely!

※※※

Rong Guang twisted his body and looked back after the shot, which was a little awkward, but he didn't care about it in order to confirm the results of his heel shot.

He saw the ball roll under the armpit of Twente's goalkeeper Vanov into the back of the net, and he was sure he had scored.

Yes, I scored with a backheel myself!

He then shook his fist and celebrated the goal.

By the meantime, Sneijder had pounced with open arms.

"That's amazing!!" The Dutch roared as they pounced on Glory. "How did you do that?!"

Shooting with a heel at such a distance is so sudden that no one would have thought about it. But if that's all it takes, it's not enough for Sneijder to admire it so much.

It's nothing more than hitting the other party off guard.

The key is that Glory's heel shot is of high quality, and the ball shot with the heel is very powerful, fast and at a good angle. So even if FC Twente's defenders could expect Glory to shoot with their heels, it would be difficult for them to defend effectively in the face of such a quick and accurate shot......

Ibrahimovic was a genius strike, and this goal of glory was also not lost to Ibrahimovic!

Sneijder and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have been teammates and he now feels that he made the right choice to come to Manchester City because he is so happy to be teammates with such two talented players!

Other Manchester City players also poured in from different directions, drowning glory and Sneijder in an instant.

Glory's goal not only opened the deadlock for the game, but also relieved the pressure on City's players as the game went on.

Now they can really do what Benitez calls "peace of mind......
