Chapter 96 The blue moon rises in the sky, and the Divine Blade returns!(1/2)
Running interception, back and forth between the midfield and his own penalty area, and high-intensity running made Zhao Jinge feel a little bit tired.
Seven or eight minutes have passed since Tottenham's goal on the court. Tottenham's pursuit of victory made Manchester City's defense even more difficult.
Taking advantage of Demichelis' big-footed clearance after another defense, Zhao Jinge stopped running and squeezed his sore thighs with both hands, trying to relieve the lactic acid accumulated in the muscles.
"We can't go on like this. If Tottenham continues to attack like this unscrupulously, sooner or later they will lose goals!"
Seeing Tottenham's calm organization in the opposite half, Zhao Jinge was breathing heavily while thinking about ways to change the situation.
Zhao Jinge turned around and looked at De Bruyne and David Silva who were also taking a moment to catch their breath in the middle of the court.
Due to the huge defensive pressure, the two players as the core of Manchester City's organization were suppressed in several halves.
Ali, Eriksson and Lamela continued to harass them. Once one of them had the ball, they immediately pressed closely.
De Bruyne and David Silva's confrontational ability is still a bit weak, and they simply cannot control the ball in the midfield during frequent confrontations.
Yaya Toure, who has an advantage in the confrontation, has to constantly help the defense to find and fill gaps, which also greatly limits his ability to move forward.
Manchester City, which has a world-class midfield and frontcourt and focuses on passing and controlling the ball, will one day be unable to control the ball. It is like a joke!
Unable to control the ball, the forward offensive organization almost came to a standstill. How should I counterattack? You can't expect me to ride thousands of miles alone!
The more Zhao Jinge thought about it, the more difficult it became. Tottenham's defense was also very unstable. Last season, it was even called the "two major defense teams" in the Premier League along with Manchester United's defense.
At the beginning of this season, they were often penetrated, but when facing Manchester City today, Tottenham's defense handled it very well.
Today's Tottenham Hotspur are very tight in defense, with three offensive midfielders pressing high, giving you no room to break through in the middle.
When Manchester City moves to the wing to attack, one of the defensive midfielders moves laterally in front of the full-back to participate in the defense. The offensive midfielder on the same side also gradually presses, forming a three-on-one or three-on-two encirclement on the wing!

Coupled with their excellent physical fitness and Pocellotti's tactical configuration, except for Zhao Jinge's attack, Manchester City's offense has completely failed!
While Zhao Jinge was brainstorming, the situation on the field was changing rapidly. After Tottenham passed several rounds of midfield passes, Ali knocked the ball back to Eriksson, who was retreating.
After Eriksson observed for a moment, he passed the ball accurately to Kyle Walker, who was ready to go on the right side of the court.
After Walker received the ball, as an atypical full-back with extremely strong physical fitness, he immediately turned into a bulldozer and smashed Manchester City's defense line on the right side of the pitch into pieces.
Porcelloti, who was standing on the sidelines, watched Kyle Walker advance by leaps and bounds on the wing, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
After waiting for a whole year, a healthy Kyle Walker is definitely a top full-back and will hardly disappoint.
For Pocellotti's Tottenham, they rely heavily on the performance of full-backs on both the offensive and defensive ends.
Tottenham's two full-backs must quickly tighten up and cooperate with the retreating midfielder when defending, and when attacking, they must open up in time and rush forward quickly.
Last season, due to Walker's injury and Danny Rose's poor performance, Pocellotti's Tottenham simply failed to produce the technical and tactical results he wanted.
By this season, Kyle Walker, who has returned from injury and is full of energy, and Ben Davis, who is gradually growing, are very suitable for Pocellotti's technical and tactical performance.
Coupled with the budding Trippier and the already enlightened Danny Rose, Tottenham's talent pool of full-backs will definitely make the major giants jealous.
Guardiola on the opposite side of the pitch could not wait to swap the full-backs on both sides immediately to give Tottenham a taste of being beaten on the wing!
Kyle Walker held the ball and advanced to the right side of Manchester City's penalty area. David Silva, who came to intercept, had already been left behind by him.
In front of him were Yaya Toure, who rushed to the rescue, and Korolav, who was fighting behind Toure.
Facing the interception by two people, Kyle Walker immediately stopped and turned around and handed the ball to Ali who ran out of space in the middle
After receiving the ball, Ali passed the ball to the left side of Manchester City's penalty area without hesitation.
Son Heung-min quickly moved forward, got ahead of Sagna, stopped the ball with his chest, and quickly drove the ball into Manchester City's penalty area. Before Kompany could grab it, he sent a kick that penetrated the entire Manchester City penalty area defense.
Low ball.
Harry Kane, who was in front of the penalty area, fell to the ground and tackled the shot under the interference of Demichelis, but the football still passed by him as he desperately stretched his toes!
Although he didn't score a goal, his shot completely attracted Joe Hart's attention!
Joe Hart, who was nervous, immediately went to the ground to block Kane's shot the moment Harry Kane fell to the ground.
"Son Heung-min's pass is dangerous! Harry Kane fell to the ground at the front and missed the shot! There is still a chance at the back! Kyle Walker!"
"Goal!!!! Kyle Walker scored with a shot from the back! Joe Hart, who was staggered by Harry Kane's shot, fell to the ground and could only watch Kyle Walker score easily.
An empty goal!"
"We can't hold it anymore, we can't hold it at all! Tottenham made more points in Manchester City's penalty area and took the lead before the end of the first half!"
Lineker cheered loudly for Tottenham's goal in the live broadcast room.
White Hart Lane has also turned into a sea of joy. Tottenham fans never expected that their team could give them such a huge surprise at home!
Forty-five minutes into the game, Manchester City, the current Premier League leader, was directly pushed to the ground and rubbed, unable to find the North!

After the passionate cheers, many Tottenham fans suddenly became angry, Porcello Di, you mother could have just beaten you like this!
At the beginning of the season, they tried out the lineup like crazy, and their dismal record almost gave Tottenham fans a heart attack!
Not to mention the disastrous home defeat against Arsenal a few days ago! You are simply seeking your own death!
Whether they are surprised or angry, the favorable situation on the field at least makes the hearts of Tottenham fans no longer numb and start beating again.
On the contrary, there are those Manchester City fans who have fallen into gloom.
If Porcelloti gave Tottenham fans a wave of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the first half, then Guardiola had already pushed the heads of Manchester City fans into the toilet!
A bucket of answers for all Manchester City fans!
The extremely bad situation has caused Manchester City's cheers to hit rock bottom just like their situation.
With the current situation, does Manchester City really still have hope? The first defeat of the season is really coming!
"I'm so stupid, really."
In the stands of the visiting team, a little girl of about four or five years old who was accompanying the team raised her eyes that had lost their vitality and weakly said to her father beside her:
"I knew White Hart Lane was the home of the Devils, but I didn't expect Tottenham to be so powerful.
We still have the mentality that as long as we play hard, we can easily defeat them... How did the result become like this? Wuwu"
The young Manchester City fan threw himself into his father's arms and cried sadly.
The fan's father, who was also in a very bad mood, first patted his daughter's back, and then comforted her softly:
"Don't cry, baby. It's not the moment to decide the outcome yet, at least we still have time to reverse, right?"
"Reversal? Is it really possible? We played so poorly!"
After listening to her father's words, the little girl buried her head deeper and complained aggrievedly about her dissatisfaction with Manchester City's performance.
"Of course! Baby, we still have Zhao on the court! Right?
Just like playing against Chelsea, Barcelona and West Ham United, Zhao will stand up and bring us the results we want!"
"Daddy's little baby, don't you like Zhao the most? Don't you still believe in him?"
After hearing his father's repeated consolation, the young fan, wearing the children's version of Manchester City's No. 9 jersey, finally lifted his aggrieved face full of tears from his father's arms.
I was just about to wipe my tears with my sleeve, and then I suddenly realized that this was my precious jersey.
Then he lowered his head and wiped away the tears and snot on his face with the corner of his father's Manchester City No. 10 jersey.
Then he immediately turned around and shouted to the field in a milky voice that still had a hint of crying:
"Zhao Jinge, come on! Manchester City will win!"
The father beside him couldn't care less about his signature 11-12 season championship commemorative jersey, and followed his daughter's voice to shout.
At this time, Clattenberg blew the whistle to end the first half, and the game entered the intermission.
Just as Zhao Jinge and other Manchester City players were walking toward the sidelines dejectedly, the live broadcast camera captured the Manchester City father and daughter shouting "come on."
The two figures appeared on the big screen at the scene. The scene of the little girl with tears in her eyes and shouting appeared in front of all Manchester City players and fans.
The Manchester City players who were about to leave the field stopped and froze in place. The Manchester City fans who had fallen into silence also seemed to wake up.
One, ten, a hundred, in just ten seconds all the Manchester City fans at the scene shouted cheering slogans again.
The words "Zhao Jinge, come on!" also spread throughout the audience.
Hearing his name, Zhao Jinge, who had some mental fluctuations after the team lost the ball again, felt a warm energy coming from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the little girl with hazy eyes, Zhao Jinge finally fully accepted Manchester City at this moment. This time he felt the warmth of home here.
Maybe it's still not as high as Wolfsburg's status in his heart, but it's enough to make him stop for a long time.
Guardiola walked over, looked at his players, and pointed at the fans in the visiting team's stands:
"Now, we all must do something! At least we must be worthy of the fans who love us!"
After finishing speaking, Guardiola turned and walked into the player tunnel, and the Manchester City players also returned to the locker room.
When everyone entered the locker room, Guardiola threw aside the tactical board in his hand.
"Now we are the lagging side, and now we don't need to worry about that damn defense! We need to score goals!
In the second half, I hope to see a Manchester City team that can compete with Barcelona!
