I Want to Be the King of Football

Manchester City defeated Newcastle 3-0 at home and survived the first hurdle of the Devil's schedule.

This became the focus of various media rushing to report on the next day.

Before this game, Newcastle defeated Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur and ranked third in the Premier League standings. His performance was very good and won the unanimous praise of the Magpies fans. .

Even many Magpies fans believe that Newcastle has a chance to be upset away.

But at the Etihad Stadium, Newcastle never got the initiative to play from start to finish. With a mere 23% possession rate, Padreu's team suffered a painful blow.

The Magpies head coach confessed in the post-match press conference that Newcastle's strength is indeed not as good as Manchester City.

"A great team can always find effective ways to cope with the different strategies of the opponents. Whether it is a confrontation or an unbreakable iron barrel formation, they are not afraid. Manchester City is such a team. ."

Padru spoke highly of Guardiola's team, and he also praised Su Dong, who was elected the best player of the game. He believes Su Dong is the most critical core player for Manchester City.

"In fact, for a pass and control team like Manchester City, patience is very important. They have a super ability to pass and control the ball. While consuming the opponent and creating pressure on the opponent, they are also creating a huge psychological burden on themselves. ."

"That is, what if I don't break the opponent's goal again?"

"Grabbing so many possessions, but not breaking the goal late, it's impossible to justify."

Padreu believes that Manchester City encountered such a problem in the 2009-10 season. They can always control the ball, but it is easy to play impatiently, which causes them to lose points in many unnecessary games.

But this phenomenon has been completely changed after Su Dong joined.

"Su Dong is the most powerful and terrifying scorer in the world, and he is also the most perfect center forward. His presence makes everyone in Manchester City believe that he can score goals."

"This is not spoken by the mouth, nor is it given by the head coach, nor is it awarded by fame or influence. It is what Sudong and Dong passed game after game, one goal after another, and instilled in the players. Let everyone believe that he can do it."

"So, every time Su Dong plays, Manchester City will play more smoothly, because they play more patiently and calmly, which makes them not easy to make mistakes."

"When a team with super ball-handling ability is patiently exhausting with opponents and never makes mistakes easily, it is often that the opponent is making a mistake, and Su Dong can keenly grasp the opponent's mistakes, and Score a goal."

Padru believes that this is a virtuous circle that complements each other.

If you want to cut off this cycle, either Su Dong has a problem, or Manchester City's passing system has a problem.

"But from the current point of view, in the foreseeable short-term, unless there is a major change in Manchester City itself, otherwise, other teams will basically have no way to face Manchester City's play and staffing."

Padreu said a lot of the aspirations of the Premier League and even European football teams.

You know, Manchester City is not only unsolvable in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League.

Four-game winning streak, two rounds ahead of time to qualify as the top of the group. Such results are eye-catching in other groups, not to mention being placed in the group of death. This is definitely for Manchester City, who participated in the Champions League for the first time in history. The most amazing.

In the media praise, Manchester City soon ushered in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

...

...

The away game against Dortmund is a rare respite for Manchester City, who have already qualified in advance.

Guardiola didn't even arrange for the main lineup to play, but instead played with a rotation and a substitute lineup, more to give the main players more preparation time to cope with the 13th round of the Premier League this weekend.

And Manchester City also performed well away. Aguero opened the scoring for Manchester City in the 42nd minute, but at the end of the second half, Lewandowski scored a goal for Dortmund.

In the end, the two sides shook hands one to one.

…

Inter Milan defeated Villarreal 3-1 at home.

This is not surprising. The yellow submarine team is unlikely to qualify, so they simply gave up the Champions League and focused on playing in the domestic league. Naturally, Inter Milan grabbed a valuable three-pointer.

With these three points, Inter Milan beat Dortmund and ranked second in the group.

In this way, the final round of the group stage between the two sides becomes crucial.

Manchester City faced Inter Milan at home and Dortmund challenged Villarreal away.

This is undoubtedly a very suspenseful round of competition.

It's just that for Manchester City, they hadn't put this round in their eyes long ago.

...

...

On November 27th, Liverpool Anfield.

Among the 45,000 enthusiastic Liverpool fans who continued the whole game, the Red Army relied on strict defense and insisted on holding the waves of Manchester City's offensive.

Dalglish is currently ranked sixth in the standings and does not seem to be outstanding, but in the scores against the top seven teams in the league, Liverpool only ranks behind Manchester City and Manchester United, which can be said to be a strong dialogue. One of the best Premier League teams.

The outstanding performance in the strong dialogue comes from Liverpool's own impressive strength, especially the team's defense.

In the first twelve rounds, Liverpool only lost eleven goals. In the Premier League, they lost only to Manchester City and kept pace with Newcastle. It can be said to be the best defensive team in the Premier League.

Facing the powerful offensive Manchester City, Dalglish arranged two powerful central defenders, Daniel Ag and Scott, to target Soviet Union full-time. At the same time, before the defensive line, Lucas and Charlie Adam were arranged to form a double defensive midfielder. .

Charlie Adam is not well-known, but the effect is very good. He is trusted by Dalglish. In the last round of Liverpool's 2-1 away game against Chelsea, Charlie Adam performed very bravely. Under the best player of the game.

Lucas came to Liverpool as the successor of Harvey Alonso, but after joining Liverpool, his performance has not met the expectations of the outside world, but in recent times, his performance has given people the feeling Gradually opened up.

Today's Brazilian midfielder is no longer the organizational core of the year, but gradually transformed into a defensive midfielder.

Since this season, Lucas is the Premier League midfielder with the most interceptions and steals. He is also one of the players with the longest running distance. It can be said that he is already an outstanding midfielder.

This is indeed very embarrassing.

The organizational midfielder of the year has become the defensive engineer now. Lucas is not the first and will not be the last.

Ferguson transforms Anderson, Mourinho transforms Mikel, basically the same.

In this battle, Dalglish let Lucas and Charlie Adam form a midfield double midfielder, in front of which is the England midfielder Jordan Henderson, who was once valued by Guardiola.

Liverpool's defense this season is very good, but the offensive problem is very big.

Suarez performed fairly well, not as amazing as he did when he was in the Eredivisie; after Carroll joined Liverpool, he was no longer as dazzling as he was at Newcastle; after Tangning came to Liverpool, he exposed that he was not strong in scoring, and he was a one-on-one individual player. Problems such as lack of confidence in combat.

As for Henderson, it is also difficult for him to bear the burden of passing the team forward.

It is precisely because of this that although Liverpool's defense is strong, but the offense is messed up, it ranks sixth in the Premier League.

Otherwise, with a defense like Liverpool, as long as the offense is stronger, it can be ranked in the top four.

This is a problem when it is weak, but when it comes to a strong team, Liverpool has shown its power.

At least in the face of Manchester City, the Red Army defended more firmly and better than Newcastle.

…

From the first minute of the game, Manchester City organized a wave of offensives.

Although Liverpool is playing at home, they do not stubbornly smash with Manchester City. They firmly grasp the defense. They do not care about the gains and losses of the space on the field, but are committed to ensuring that their goals are not lost.

Under the guidance of Dalglish, this Liverpool army used life, tactical execution is very high, and the players are also very active. In addition, Daniel Agger and Scott are taking care of Su Dong every step of the way. Manchester City's attack was contained. UU reading www.uukａnshu.com

Dalglish obviously learned the lessons of Newcastle, so he played more conservatively than the Magpies.

You know, Newcastle is an away game, and Liverpool is based in Anfield.

But it didn't matter, Dalglish was determined to lower his face and guard against it.

Even before the game, he let out cruel words, as long as he scored one point, he was satisfied.

This may be psychological warfare, but it may not be what he thinks.

After all, facing Manchester City, it is quite difficult to get a point.

So far this season, Manchester City's twelve consecutive victories are not fake.

It is in this pragmatic and conservative thinking that Liverpool through strict defenses and the concerted efforts of the players, under the waves of Manchester City's offensive, they ensured that the goal was not lost.

From the beginning to the end of the first half, from the beginning of the second half to the substitution, and then to the 80 minutes into the game, Liverpool never gave Manchester City a good chance to score.

Su Dong also created shots, but they failed to pose a threat.

The two defenders, Daniel Agger and Skrtel, have a strong enough body and an excellent sense of cooperation, coupled with the fact that they are closely following Su Dong in the whole game, so it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to perform.

The game was so deadlocked.

Time is passing bit by bit, Manchester City has never been able to break the deadlock, while Liverpool continue to guard strictly.

The Liverpool fans in the stands have been singing the team song from the first minute of the game, calling on the team to cheer for their team, as if they will never be tired, they can shout until tomorrow morning.

Su Dong was not discouraged either, still actively running and pulling on the court, constantly shouting, cheering for his teammates.

He didn't believe it!

Even if Liverpool really guarded the last second of the game, he had to do everything possible to score!
