Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 193

Marquinhos waited for the ball for a long time but didn't see any overhead kick, so he trotted back to his backcourt.

This also means that Paris' offensive round has come to an end.

Soon the time came to the 25th minute.

Chen Chen moved to the middle to get the ball.

Paredes and Herrera were double-teaming him.

Seeing this, Chen Chen simply turned a corner, bypassed Gundogan who was inserted on the right side, and directly passed the ball to Mahrez in front of the right.

Guy was looking at Gundogan, and Nuno Mendes was looking at Mahrez after receiving the ball. This was really a 1v1 duel of real men.

Mahrez saw that there was no space behind Guy, so he decisively passed the ball to Bernardo Silva!

Although it is difficult for B-Sai to be a center forward, it is enough to occasionally get forward to put some pressure.

He doesn't need to be so awesome, to get rid of the double-team and turn around to shoot in one go.

As long as we can attract the attention of the opponent and create opportunities for teammates, it will be fine.

For example, now, after attracting the attention of Kimpembe and Paredes who turned back to defend, B席's crotch leaked!

The ball leaked to the back point!

Sterling followed up with a small angle shot!

"Chen Chen, pass it to Mahrez!"

"Paredes was empty behind him because of defending Chen Chen!"

"Polo King, pass it to B席."

"Oh! Did he not touch the ball or was it a tactical play he chose specifically? The football went directly to the back point!"

"Sterling, hit the far corner!"

"The ball went in!"

"The imagined Messi led the team to equalize again did not appear, but Manchester City seized the opportunity and continued to score at home!"

"3-1!"

At the Etihad Stadium, Sterling, who scored a goal, ran arrogantly to the edge of the court, and then slid down to celebrate!

The Manchester City players who followed him hugged him in the middle!

Everyone cheered and celebrated together!

Scored three goals and led by two goals!

Compared with the first round, this was a very wonderful leading moment!

In the studio, Zhan Jun said with emotion,

"Let's take a look at this wave of replays."

"When Paredes and Herrera pressed forward together, Chen Chen did not choose to pass back, but took the ball out, and then found the gap on the right side."

"Pay close attention here."

"Herrera came up to press without any problem, but Paredes was a bit rash."

"There was a flaw in the connection between him and Guy, and the two did not reach a unified idea."

"This also led to the middle being directly empty, and B Seat occupied the position very comfortably."

"On the bench of Paris are Verratti and Danilo Perreira, Pochettino needs to think about how to make a choice."

Because the broadcast of football matches needs to face a large audience, Zhan Jun's words seem very pertinent and vague, and he did not clearly state that it was all Paredes's problem.

But anyone who is not blind can see that Paredes played very averagely, and he needs to consider making substitutions at this point.

Although the game time is only less than 30 minutes, it is not impossible to make substitutions immediately.

Unfortunately, Pochettino lacks the courage to cut off his arm, and it is no wonder that the aircraft carrier of Paris was overturned by him.

You know, Paris was very competitive during this period.

Although everyone ridiculed that the overall level of Ligue 1 was low and should be expelled from the top five leagues, this is not Paris's business.

MMN in the frontcourt, Verratti + Pereira + Herrera in the midfield.

Ramos + Marquinhos in the back line.

Navas + Donnarumma as the goalkeepers. With this lineup, who can say that the Premier League big6 will win?

But what is the result?

In the 21/22 season, Paris won a stable French Ligue 1 championship. What French Super Cup, French Cup, and Champions League have nothing to do with them.

No wonder Pochettino left Paris immediately after the season.

Then he went to Chelsea to save the team a year later but failed, and left again.

Finally got a job with the US national team.

It's not that the job is bad, after all, the money is good.

The main thing is that he went to the US to make money at the age of 52, and he really has no ambition to be a head coach.

It seems that the former Spanish coach really has no ambition to lead a European team to the top of Europe.

Interestingly, although Pochettino is already the head coach of the US national team, there are many people who scold him in the Chelsea fan group.

The main reason is that Chelsea's 0-5 Arsenal game was too amazing.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Manchester City now.

Paredes is the most average player in Paris, and Guardiola hopes that Pochettino will not replace him.Soon, both sides returned to the center circle to prepare for the kick-off.

Time passed by little by little.

The game time came to the 31st minute.

Paris's left side throw-in.

Guy threw the ball to the Portuguese Nuno Mendes behind him.

Nuno Mendes and Cancelo are both members of the Portuguese national team. In this game, both of them played as left backs.

However, it should be noted that Cancelo's left back position was arranged by Guardiola, because there is no player more suitable than him for the left back position.

Why is there no more suitable?

You have to ask Benjamin Mendy, a player who almost went to prison.

In fact, Cancelo was born as a right back. When he first joined Manchester City, he played as a right back and Mendy was the left back.

As for Kyle Walker? At that time, he and Cancelo were competing for the position.

Therefore, Nuno Mendes and Cancelo do not have any position conflicts in the national team, which is why many people say that 2022 is a promising year for Portugal.

Because the defense led by Pepe is indeed very strong on paper, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a lot to be done.

Nuno Mendes, Ruben Dias, Pepe, Cancelo.

Not to mention the gap between the front and midfield, just this defense line, the old leads the young, the experienced players lead the peak strength, which is a perfect World Cup semi-final standard.

At the Etihad Stadium, Nuno Mendes chose to dribble forward.

He attracted Mahrez's attention.

The polo king came up to stick to him.

Just when he couldn't continue to dribble and break through, Nuno Mendes saw Messi moving to the middle area and waving for the ball.

Even the commentator could see the problem of Paredes, how could Messi not see it?

So the Argentines chose to move to the middle to organize the attack.

Seeing this, Nuno quickly passed the ball!

Messi received the ball smoothly!

Then, before Chen Chen was ready to press, Messi used the outside of his right foot to give a lead to the right side, and Herrera on the right side caught the ball.

The Spanish midfielder began to stride forward with the ball.

Manchester City's defense quickly moved back as a whole.

Ashraf inserted from the right side of Herrera and took the ball away from Herrera's feet.

The Moroccan rushed to the bottom line!

Finally, before the ball was about to go out of the bottom line!

Before Cancelo stretched his legs to intercept!

Ashraf stopped and dribbled, and kicked the ball in place!

Hanging in the penalty area!

He wanted to find Mbappe and Neymar!

"Heading clearance!"

"It's Ruben Dias again!"

"It can be said that the height advantage of the Portuguese central defender is fully demonstrated in the header!"

"Paris's cross from the wing has no effect."

"The ball is on the periphery."

"Leo Messi!"

"The Argentine star got the ball!"

"Cut inside! Lift your legs!"

"Tricked the goalkeeper into diving!"

"Dunk again!"

"Adjust and shoot!"
