Chapter 661
In the second round of the 2007-8 Premier League, the second half of Manchester City's home game against Derby County started soon, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.
After the opening.
After the coach Billy Davis's chicken soup, the Derby County players were still very active.
After all, the score was only 1-2 behind.
For them, as long as they could recreate the goal at the beginning of the game, they could equalize the score.
But Manchester City was in hot form and no longer gave Derby County a chance.
......
In the 56th minute of the game.
James kicked the goal kick to Kompany.
Kompany took Zambrotta and Alves in the middle and advanced with the ball.
Close to the center circle.
The ball was handed to Pepe who was advancing.
Next, there was a continuous short pass between Manchester City's frontcourt players, and rapid penetration.
The football was finally sent to Su Fei's feet in the hinterland of the frontcourt.
Su Fei took the ball with his back.
He used his body to block Derby County's defensive midfielder, Felhaber.
Then he suddenly pulled the ball and turned around.
He passed the ball sideways.
This pass sent the ball straight to Modric who was following him in the left rib area.
There was no one guarding Modric within one meter of the ball.
A flash of inspiration came to him.
He twisted his body, exerted all his strength, swung his left foot, and used the outside of his foot to hit the bottom of the ball hard.
The ball turned into an electromagnetic cannon with an unscientific trajectory, drew an arc in the air, and rushed straight to the Derby County goal.
"Modric received Su Fei's pass."
"Suddenly shoot!"
"Shoot with the outside of the foot!"
"This ball..."
"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"
"GGGOOOAAALLL!"
"GOAL!!..."
The Etihad Stadium, which had just cooled down a little due to the halftime break, exploded again in an instant.
3:1!
......
With Modric's goal and a 2-goal lead, Manchester City players had no scruples and were completely excited.
Next.
Directly launched a series of fierce attacks.
67th minute of the game.
Between Zambrotta and Pepe, who were advancing on the left, continuous back passes in the area were used to promote the advancement, constantly attracting Derby County to participate in the defense.
Then Pepe made a cross.
Su Fei headed the ball and headed it to Modric nearby.
Modric faced the falling football.
A volley.
The ball changed its trajectory instantly, becoming a precise through pass that could penetrate Derby County's defense.
Balotelli successfully received the ball in one step in the penalty area.
He raised his leg decisively and kicked the ball.
"Bang!"
The ball turned into a heavy artillery in the penalty area and hit the near corner of the goal.
4:1!
.............................................................
Looking at the Manchester City players celebrating on the field, listening to the deafening cheers of Manchester City fans.
Billy Davis sighed.
Sure enough.
As a newly promoted team, it is still a bit too wishful to challenge the newly crowned triple crown champion Manchester City.
In the face of the absolute overall strength and individual strength gap between the players.
Let alone winning.
Even if you want a draw or want to lose decently, it is difficult.
The angry ram was no longer angry.
His eyes were absent-minded.
Looking at the depressed and lost players on the field, he could not bring up a trace of blame.
Now.
He knew what he should consider.
After the game, how to comfort the players and not let this tragic defeat ruin the confidence that the players had just built up in the Premier League because of the draw with Portsmouth in the opening game...
....................................................................
In the following time.
Guardiola replaced Knight, Bale and Podolski one after another.
The Spanish coach's idea is very simple.
Anyway, there are three substitutions without quota.
It's a waste not to use them.
Why not let the old Manchester City players who have been cheering for their teammates on the bench today go up and warm up their feet.
Guardiola's idea is this.
Knight is different.
As a champagne lover, he is too jealous of the players who scored in the last game and this game.
So.
Knight, who was substituted in the 80th minute, turned into a running boy who never stopped. Even if the game has completely lost suspense, he still keeps looking for opportunities.
Those who know Knight, no one knows him better thanYu Sufei.
Sufei still remembers the request Knight made to him when he received champagne last time.
So.
Whenever Sufei receives the ball, he will subconsciously observe and find Knight's position to see if he can feed him a goal.
But.
The players on Derby County's side really don't want to concede a goal again. Even when the game is about to end, they still grit their teeth and insist on defending.
After all, they fought hard in the Championship last season and finally got promoted to the Premier League. The team's resilience is still there.
But our Master Su is a master of making goals after all.
......
The 93rd minute of the game.
Manchester City's last chance to attack.
Sufei received Bale's diagonal pass in the penalty area. Pull the ball, turn around, and do it in one go.
Push the ball sideways.
Send the ball to Knight who entered the penalty area from the right.
The moment Knight grabbed the ball.
There was no Derby County defender in front of him, only goalkeeper Bywater as the last line of defense for Derby County.
This moment.
Knight seemed to see the champagne with his own print waving at him in the sky, and he did not hesitate to hit the football with all his strength.
"Bang!"
Then.....
Then the football was really sent into the sky by Knight, directly to the stands behind the goal.
"Beep!!"
With the referee's whistle, the game was over, Manchester City fans in the stands cheered for the victory, and Manchester City players on the field also high-fived each other and hugged to celebrate.
Only Knight.
He was petrified in front of Derby County's goal.
.................................................................
After Su Fei hugged Balotelli, Modric and other teammates, he found that Knight was still standing there stupidly.
He couldn't help but come to his buddy's side.
He comforted him.
"It's okay. If we didn't score this goal, we can just look for another chance in the next game. Isn't it just champagne? Does our young master Knight need this bottle of champagne?"
"No! You don't understand! Su! What kind of champagne have I not tried? I just want to try the taste of goal champagne, woooo..."
"Uh... why are you acting like a spoiled child here? How about this, I'll bring you a bottle tomorrow, okay? Including today, I already have three bottles."
"No! I won't drink anything that doesn't have my name on it! It has a different meaning, woooo..."
Su Fei knew that Knight was playing tricks again.
He didn't indulge him.
He turned around and walked towards the player's tunnel.
After a while.
Knight really caught up with him.
His eyes were sad.
"Su, you didn't coax me. You weren't like this before."
".......Is it possible that I was creating opportunities for you all the time, and you missed the ball yourself. Just that ball, even the security guard at the gate of our base could have scored!"
"......Uh, you're so hurtful, Su! I don't want to play with you anymore!"
"Go away!"
Then Su Fei watched Knight run to Cassano, chatted for a few words, and came back with a pout.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to play with me anymore?"
"Su! Antonio, that idiot, mocked me when I went over and said he would drink champagne tomorrow. I can't stand him!"
"......He won that bottle of champagne by himself. It's really not like you, you can spit out the cake you feed into your mouth."
"........Fuck"
Manchester City won today, and all Manchester City people are very happy, except......
