Chapter 307 A devastating game

Manchester City's defense cannot rely on Zhuoyang to chase back from the forward line every time to make up for the leaks. Football is not played like this, and he is not that capable.

Not to mention the forwards, it is wrong to let the center back bear everything every time. The center back is a human being, not a pot.

When Manchester City conceded the goal, Otamendi and Stones were indeed ruthlessly crushed by Falcao in their movements. But where did Falcao come from and why no one followed him? This is a question. As the protective barrier in front of the central defender, Yaya Toure needs to think deeply.

Toure is a good midfielder, but he is not a midfielder who does dirty work. As far as the defense of the throat is concerned, he prefers a one-shot deal and lacks the defensive awareness that Federer and Busquets can continue to cling to after failing to tackle. In the midfielder position, Toure is very elegant.

This shortcoming is a very important reason why Guardiola has never liked him.

Then this one has to say that Toure is more suitable to play as an attacking midfielder, but he actually does not have the ability to lead the team single-handedly in the attacking midfielder position, and needs a group of high-level teammates to support him. Toure is an attacking midfielder in the Ivory Coast national team, but his performance in the national team is far inferior to that of the club.

Toure is an outstanding B2B midfielder. In this concept, he was once ranked among the top three in the world. But his excellence must be based on having a defensive midfielder who can do the dirty work on the court and a front midfielder who can pass and organize, and then go to romantic B2B, so that he can produce very beautiful personal data.

In other words, Toure has the offensive and defensive skills of a B2B midfielder, but does not have the protagonist leadership skills necessary for B2B. He is actually a genuine role player type B2B. But you already have a role, what else do you need for B2B?

A defensive midfielder like Toure will be basically useless once the opponent suppresses him in a targeted manner, making him afraid to cover his position defensively, and unable to use his long legs to dribble the ball and get in behind the ball offensively. Therefore, Jardim is a very sharp-edged coach who can ruthlessly magnify his opponents' flaws.

In the third defensive step, seat B was kicked down and Monaco received a free kick.

Fabinho suddenly hit the ball quickly, and Mbappe turned around from Toure with a 'whoosh~' and went straight down. Toure was not sure, so Sayazi went after him, but honestly speaking, he was twice as old as Mbappe, and his speed was really cruel.

As the saying goes: Between two o'clock, Bell is closest.

This is exactly what Mbappé means now. Not to mention the possibility of being chased by others after running, there is not even a chance of blocking him head-on.

After rushing into the penalty area, with Toure on the back of his butt, Mbappe volleyed directly in front of Stones and Otamendi, and hit Caballero's head. The word "quick" was all he needed. The fastball is fast too.

A thunderbolt flashed across the night sky in Manchester, and the score became 1:2.

This is Mbappe's 12th goal this season. At the age of 18, he is the second youngest scorer in the Champions League knockout rounds.

On April 1, 2008, in the first round of the 14th Champions League of the 2007-08 season, Bojan went to Schalke and scored the only goal of the game, becoming the youngest scorer in the history of the knockout round at the age of 17 and 21. The person who assisted Bojan that day was Yaya Toure.

Including all competitions, the youngest scorer in the history of the Champions League is a little-known Ghanaian Peter Ofoliquaye, who scored a goal for 1Limpiacos , his age at that time was 17 years and 194 days.

.

This conceded goal would have been enough to give Manchester City another warning, but the ensuing controversy overshadowed the warning.

In the 44th minute, Ding Ding passed the ball from the wing to the middle. Zhuoyang squeezed the ball and turned the ball in one go. Aguero suddenly formed a single shot in the penalty area.

The defender was at his wits end, but goalkeeper Subasic was quite alert and his attack was very timely.

Aguero changed the direction of the ball to the left, and Subasic lowered his waist to tackle it. The football slipped away on its own, and Akun crashed in the penalty area.

The people of Manchester were all jubilant, but before Zhuo Yang could pull Akun up to praise him,

The Laos referee couldn't wait to take out the yellow card. He felt that Aguero was diving, and there was no doubt about it.

But Zhuoyang saw clearly that it was Subasic who kicked Aguero's foot, and it was a real penalty kick.

Zhuoyang argued with the referee on the court, Guardiola jumped up and down off the court, and the crotch line of his trousers under his down coat was almost torn apart, but he still couldn't make Laos change his opinion.

There is no way to change this, unless Laos does not want to be involved in the refereeing world in the future.

The first half was over, and the Manchester City people were still immersed in the grievances of misjudgment, completely forgetting the hidden dangers today, and not paying much attention to the five yellow cards they received in the first half.

In order to stop Monaco's attack, Manchester City players frequently used foul tactics in awkward situations. Except for Aguero, four people, including Zhuo Yang, received yellow cards. Sterling will also be suspended for tiredness in the next game.

Monaco only had two yellows. Both Glick and Sidibe had to foul because they were defending Zhuoyang's breakthrough.

In terms of the ball possession rate that they have always been proud of, Manchester City is only 54%. Although it is still ahead of Monaco, this lead is a bit embarrassing for those who do not pass the ball or die.

"Feiniao, lean more towards the center when attacking." Zhuo Yang warned Feiniao after walking out of the lounge.

"Lean on it, I've been leaning on it." It was obvious that Feiniao was living in a dream during this game.

Zhuoyang originally wanted to say something to Toure, but he felt that he couldn't talk to him. That guy was not someone who could listen to what others said.

In fact, Zhuoyang played very average in the first half. Affected by the offensive enthusiasm of his teammates, he always clustered in the middle after 1:0, and was keen to force breakthroughs in crowded crowds.

But Zhuoyang has realized this and deliberately opened up the offensive width in the second half. But the root of Manchester City's problems lies in defense.

In the 48th minute, Zhuoyang was double-teamed by Sidibe and Fabinho on the wing, and passed back to Sagna.

The B seat came very quickly, and Sagna passed it back to Stones without stopping.

Stones could get the ball at his feet, but he lacked confidence due to a series of mistakes and the criticism after the mistakes during this period. He didn't want to cause more trouble for himself, so he hurriedly pushed forward to find Toure.

As a result, the football was interrupted by Mbappe in the Manchester City half.

What happened next was so simple. Mbappe made a diagonal pass from Seat B. After a single pass, the score became 1:3. Mbappe scored twice. Monaco, which has the strongest offensive power in the five major leagues, also achieved the lowest consumption of goals per game.

Zhuo Yang was a little confused. Today's game felt so wrong.

Falling behind by two goals at home, it is impossible for Manchester City not to go crazy. The offense is even more disorganized and the defense is even more unattended.

In the 5th, Mas Lemar made a long pass from the backcourt, and Tiger Falcao unloaded the ball on the right side of Manchester City's empty penalty area.

Toure was not far away from him, but when he saw that Stones was already close to him, he chose to stop and watch the show.

Falcao squeezed Stones into the penalty area. Otamendi and goalkeeper Caballero came up to surround him, but Falcao, a chicken thief, used a rub shot.

When the arc of the hanging door crossed the goal line, no Zhuoyang could rush back to rescue him this time.

Falcao also scored two goals, 1:4. Manchester City collapsed in this game, and Zhuoyang's face became extremely ugly.
