255. Goal
In the 9th minute, Mkhitaryan made a mistake in the frontcourt and was intercepted by Bari. After Yaya Toure dribbled the ball, Manchester City took the counterattack. Tevez got Toure's pass from the right side of the penalty area and passed Aguero. Aguero got an excellent opportunity, but Akun actually knocked the ball away.
"Fake!" Mancini kicked all the Aquarius on the sidelines and cursed.
He has to be in a hurry. In his vision, Manchester City will seize this opportunity.
Mancini knows the characteristics of Crystal Palace: when there is a ball, the ball is slower in the backcourt, which is healthy, but generally the rhythm of passing the ball in the frontcourt will be fast, whether it is a pass or a belt, it will advance quickly, and the rhythm is poor when playing, and the movement of the middle and backcourt is also very fast, especially on both sides.
Crystal Palace players are not gods, and they cannot guarantee that they will not make mistakes in passing at high-speed offensive rhythms. Therefore, it is inevitable to lose the ball. This is exactly the opportunity his team can take advantage of. Even such an opportunity still has to face the opponent's high-level pressing. Compared with other teams' defense without the ball, Crystal Palace's high-level pressing is the best in the Premier League. It will be difficult to do it well if it is replaced by Manchester City. Aguero is easy to use, but he is lazy in the style of playing and doesn't like to spend a lot of physical fitness on pressing. Besides, physical fitness is indeed his weak point.
It is not easy to penetrate the central defender of Crystal Palace, and it is normal for him to be wasted such a chance.
But Lombardo, a friend sitting on the bench, had another idea.
"Oh, Manjo is anxious!" Lombardo thought to himself. Mancini's angry moves were very difficult to understand. After all, it is normal for a forward to miss an opportunity. There has never been a good forward in this world who missed a good opportunity!
The casual action of a friend on the sidelines made everyone feel that he was very anxious and was easily misunderstood after the game. It’s okay to win, but hehe, there are many media outlets who have taken advantage of the situation. Manchester City players are famous for having many thorns.
Lombardo does not think the team can win the championship, and even if they win this game, the chance of winning the championship is slim. The situation is more beneficial to his old club, Crystal Palace.
But if Manchester City can't even keep the second place, their friends may really be dismissed. So Lombardo doesn't think that friends should be more low-key and introverted in such an occasion, don't expose their emotions. A small incident affects the team's stability. If you may not win the next game against Manchester United, you may not win. You should know that the next game is more difficult than this game. Manchester United will never allow themselves to be double-killed by opponents in the same league. Double-killing is a shameful event for Ferguson and Manchester United.
Mancini's movements were captured by the camera by the audience, but they were not captured by Manchester City players. Moreover, even if they were captured, they would still ignore Mancini's movements. In this game, not only Mancini wanted to win, but also Manchester City players wanted to win. Manchester City players were necessary to not like Wen Sheng. They were beaten up by Crystal Palace in the first round and were eager to take revenge.
Manchester City's counterattack also made Wen Sheng stand upside down, but he still won't give up his playing style. He has the capital, who wants to be vulgar?! There is no need to be too vulgar.
The game continues, Crystal Palace still dominates the game, while Manchester City is waiting for the next opportunity.
Vardy's performance also made Wen Sheng a little worried. Vardy has made great progress compared to his previous life, but it is still not enough. For example, the ability to get rid of the ball after receiving the ball is still not good, and his feet are not good at work. His strengths still require his teammates to give him a fatal first pass.
"It's good to have Aguero!" Wen Sheng thought silently, but this was just thinking about it. It was impossible for him to buy Aguero.
Just as he was lamenting for Valdy, he didn't expect this guy to score a goal.
The goal routine is so simple.
In the 17th minute, Crystal Palace was in the backcourt and attracted Manchester City players to grab it. Stroman suddenly made a long pass from the backcourt, and the ball went straight behind Manchester City's defense. Vardy succeeded in counter-offside with his flexible running and super explosive power, got a single shot, calmly pushed and shot, and a fatal blow.
Wen Sheng couldn't help but smile knowingly, "This kid is still top-notch even if he is not Aguero! At least his running ability is really amazing!"
A drawdown reverse run easily defeated Manchester City's defense!
Mancini got angry again and scolded him on the sidelines that he was not focused on the defense and pressed too much.
Captain Kompany and Lescott both regretted their intestines, and their responsibilities were heavy.
In fact, during the pre-match preparation, these two people also watched Vardy's goal highlights. Vardy was very simple and didn't seem so difficult to defend. On the court, Vardy came to Scott and posted it tightly, but gradually, when they found that Vardy was not as strong as the legend, and even had few chances to get the ball, they knew that they ran around and chased the ball, which made them careless. They never expected that Vardy, who was strolling backwards, suddenly formed such a tacit understanding with their teammates, and it was too late to react again!
Vardy hugged Stroman, who assisted him, and praised his teammates for their wonderful transmission.
Stroman, who was highly expected by Wen Sheng, finally got a lot of opportunities this season. His playing time was much more than another player, Matic, and his growth was also rapid. If Melo didn't play, Stroman would basically be the world, and Wen Sheng's efforts also reaped rewards.
Although Stroman didn't have many assists and goals, his first pass in the backcourt played a crucial role when De Bruyne was absent. However, many times Stroman did not directly assist, but instead went to the side.
In the stands, De Bruyne clapped hard and smiled. After two months of recovery, he has returned and participated in the team training. Maybe he will have a chance to play in the next game. He is a little sad to be eliminated in the Champions League. However, his teammates have withstood the pressure in the league. Now his lead is huge and the championship is about to win. De Bruyne will win his first top league trophy. How can he not be happy?
"What's going on?! How can the defense be so fragile?! Mancini is still an Italian coach. I think the skills of tuning defense are really..." Soriano put eye drops in front of Mubarak.
Mubarak's face was also very cold. He was not only dissatisfied with the goal concealed, but also dissatisfied with the situation on the court. Crystal Palace gave him a very calm impression, defense and offense organization were organized in a regular and law. On the other hand, his Manchester City was always passive. He remembered that his team was also like this a few days ago in the game against Arsenal. Fortunately, Arsenal's magic striker Van Persie's foot was not smooth, otherwise how could he lose the game 0:1?!
This Mancini is still limited in her ability! Cook was blind at the beginning! Mubarak even complained about Cook who resigned.
Chapter completed!
