Chapter 682 Falling behind by 3 goals in the first half

Salah's performance this year has been phenomenal. Some media praised him for being so outstanding in his first season in the Premier League and that his future is limitless.

In fact, 2017-18 is not Salah’s first Premier League season, but his third.

Swiss winger Valon Behrami, who is 33 years old this year, cannot be regarded as an old friend of Zhuo Yang, but he is indeed an old acquaintance he met in Serie A. The relationship is not bad. Through the Madiburg player Tranquillo Ba Netta knew him.

When Zhuoyang was at AC Milan, Behrami was at Lazio, and when Zhuoyang was at Barcelona, ​​Behrami moved to Fiorentina after a round of West Ham United.

No matter where he is, Behrami is a very good midfielder who can attack well and defend well. In the summer of 2012, the financially strapped Viola could not retain its core players, so Behrami and Gamberini moved to Naples together.

In order to make up for the vacancy in the back wing after Behrami left, Fiorentina loaned Colombian wing attacker Juan Cuadrado from Chelsea, the same one who is now at Juventus. At that time, he could not play at Chelsea.

A year later, due to Cuadrado's outstanding performance in Serie A, Florence initiated the buyout process, and 20 million made him completely a Florentine.

Another year and a half later, at the beginning of 2015, Chelsea felt that they had made a loss on the sale, and then spent 31 million to buy Cuadrado back in the winter window. As a bonus to the deal, the then 23-year-old Mohamed Salah was loaned to Fiorentina for free.

The flow of personnel in football is basically such a chain reaction. Two people who can't be beaten, Behrami is now at Watford, and Salah is at Liverpool.

Salah stayed at Chelsea for the second half of the season in 2013-14 and the first half of the season in 2014-15, so the 2017-18 season is his third year in the Premier League.

Salah has scored 2 and 3 goals in the Premier League this season, behind Zhuo Yang. He should not be the same person as Chelsea Salah, or even the same species.

In the Champions League, including those just scored, Salah scored 10, tied for second with Zhuoyang, and the first was Ronaldo's 12.

Not only Salah, the Liverpool Trident is very strong in the Champions League this year. Firmino has scored 8 goals so far. Mane is slightly behind, but there is rarely such a cluster of firepower.

.

Have you ever seen someone ride on your back like a chair and then score a goal? See you today.

Manchester City's third goal conceded came from Zhuo Yang's passing error.

There was a scramble between the two sides near the center circle. Silva was tackled by Henderson while dribbling the ball, but Chamberlain tried to catch the ball and was stabbed by Sane first.

Zhuoyang got the ball with his back, knowing that Van Dyke was behind him, so he didn't bother much, quickly pushed it back to Silva, and turned around to cut. If Silva can get the ball back in time, it will be a single goal in the half.

But the pass and run once again went awry. Silva ran away and pulled away. Zhuoyang's return pass seemed inexplicable and ended up in the open space.

Defensive forward Firmino always goes back deep. He took advantage of this. After turning around and running for two steps, he pushed diagonally to Salah on the right.

Laporte can prevent Salah from breaking through,

But it is unrealistic to completely prevent him from cutting inside and shooting.

After Salah cut inside, he suddenly shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. Lao Kong and Ota both blocked it. The football hit Lao Kong and bounced sideways. The clever Salah bypassed Laporte and regained the ball. Still in the restricted area.

Mane was at the back, and when he saw this, he wanted to bypass Feiniao, who was returning to defend, and get into the front position. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground with his pout.

Fei Niao turned his back to squeeze him, and by doing so, he happened to sit firmly. If it were anyone else, they would look like slave owners and slaves more than a hundred years ago.

There were pads of flesh during the fierce game, and Feiniao really wanted to sit there for a while, but Firmino had already run to the middle of the empty goal behind Lao Kong. Feiniao could only give up enjoying it and jumped forward to stick to his national team teammates.

Salah passed the ball.

Mane used his hands and feet to hide behind Feiniao. Walker saw the danger, but he was entangled by the bulldozing Detu.

Five people formed a long snake formation in front of the door.

Feiniao tried his best to prevent Firmino from heading the ball, and he succeeded.

In order to prevent Detu from grabbing the point, Walker tried his best, and he succeeded.

Therefore, it was Mane in the middle who took off and gave a powerful headbutt, and he succeeded.

3:0. The scene reappeared three months ago, conceding three goals in a row in 18 minutes. Manchester City was a loser in front of Liverpool.

.

In football, sometimes you have to believe in fate.

After 0:3, Guardiola did not dare to hesitate anymore and directed the team to tighten the fence first and stabilize their position.

Three months ago, in the 23rd round of the league, Liverpool scored three goals in ten minutes in the second half and suddenly overturned Manchester City. Uncle Zha's team spent a little more time today, taking 18 minutes to score three goals.

At 4:3 in that game, the trident and the halberd defeated Chamberlain with a goal. They were not the halberds, but the gold-plated phoenix wings of Yuwen Chengdu.

Today's familiar story reappears in version 2.0. Salah, Chamberlain, and Mane scored again, with only one Firmino missing. Are you afraid?

In the rest of the first half, even Zhuoyang returned to the penalty area. If he hadn't made a clearance 0.1 seconds ahead of him in the 40th minute, Firmino would have had his wish come true today.

Fortunately, no more goals were conceded in the first half. After the referee Bruchy's whistle sounded, the Manchester City players fled back to the locker room in disgrace.

Guardiola did not make personnel adjustments immediately because Liverpool was too fierce and had a attitude of no tomorrow. Whoever replaced him would be enough to drink a pot, so it was better to be content with it for now.

Indeed, Guardiola was right to remain calm at this time.

There is little hope of getting back in today's game. The key is to score away goals in the second half and create as many comeback opportunities as possible for the next round.

In the 4:3 match three months ago, Manchester City took advantage of Liverpool's lack of physical strength after 70 minutes to score two goals. Today they might as well follow the same example.

Waiting for opportunities, waiting for opportunities to appear on the field before making personnel adjustments.

There were no substitutions, but Guardiola changed the formation. Kyle Walker was in a good position, David Silva retreated, and Manchester City turned into a 3-5-2 with three central defenders, making the midfield competition more intense.

After arranging the team, Guardiola asked Zhuo Yang: "What happened to the passing mistake just now?"

"Frankly, I don't know."

"...Okay. You can't be smart today. If Van Dyke is too difficult to deal with, don't take it back. Just press it on both ribs to see if he can bear it."

"Well, let me figure it out."

"It's okay to flop, you don't need me to teach you, right?"

Zhuo Yang shot two goals in the first half. Although Van Dyke is strong, it is not the key to not scoring. Manchester City's midfield was thrown into chaos by its opponents, and Zhuo Yang could not get support.

Why be so passive? Because Guardiola likes to do everything as soon as he comes to the big game, and he is also a kind of do-it-yourselfer.
