246 Chapter 246
Gabriel Jesus took a few seemingly nonchalantly steps before suddenly accelerating and receiving a pass from Zhivkovic. Mario Fernandez has followed. Also Brazilian, Mario knows the characteristics of Gabriel Jesus.
The talents of the Brazilian genius are varied, but one thing that cannot be separated from them is the unpredictability of their movements.
Gabriel Jesus is now less than thirty metres from goal, with his back to goal and Mario behind him. He made a fake movement and then suddenly picked up the ball. He still has his back to the goal.
Next to Gabriel Jesus, Ian was ready to get stuck and intercept the ball, but the ball was suddenly picked into the air and he didn't know what to do with it. And the Brazilian civet-like body has jumped up.
Gabriel Jesus has his back to the goal and hangs the golden hook upside down!
It was a long-range barbed shot and Ibrahimovic may have had a barb from England that far away, but that was when Joe Hart was already out.
And now Hans is standing in front of the door of the QPR - this is a naked/naked/naked provocation.
Mario was aware of what Jesus was going to do when the ball was in the air, and he subconsciously jumped to intercept it, but the ball flew overhead.
The ball flew sharply towards the goal, and Hans pounced sideways to the top right corner and punched the ball out!
Gabriel Jesus was a move that seemed like a streetball player's trick, but it was unexpectedly threatening, and Bahmeier proved his Premier League number one goalkeeper by blocking the imagination of the Premier League's best player. ”
Jesus, who landed on the ground, glanced back and shrugged.
Lu Ling knew that most of the balls couldn't be scored, and she guessed that Jesus also knew. What she couldn't have seen, though, was Pep Guardiola's slightly disappointed face when Gabriel Jesus fired a curled shot.
Yu Zixiang came back from defense and got the ball when it was almost out of bounds. He dodged Sterling's pressing and brought the ball along the touchline.
Raheem Sterling was still in hot pursuit after he got rid of him. Jacob is already close to the past and wants to find a cooperation, maybe make a hit against the wall and hit the ribs of Manchester City.
But Yu Zixiang didn't seem to see his teammates.
Lu Ling knew the player very well, so even if Tim next to her muttered "To Jacob", she didn't react.
Zixiang likes to take the ball. He is probably the left-back who likes to hold the ball the most besides Marcelo that Lu Ling has ever seen, and of course he may also have the best skills.
The majority of Asian players, especially in East Asia, are not very physically advantageous, which also limits the upper limit of the sport in this group. But Yu Zixiang is that small part, and he has a high physical talent. In addition, it may also have something to do with his diet and training style since he was a child.
His skill combined with his physicality has basically made him the number one left-back in the Premier League. However, Luke Shaw, another left-back in the England national team, is also very strong, so Zixiang, who prefers to attack, often plays as a left winger in the national team.
Sterling's speed was almost as fast as Yu Zixiang's, but Zixiang firmly controlled the ball, and the moment Sterling collided, he carried it on his shoulder, and Sterling bounced directly to the side.
A Manchester City fan in the nearby stands let out an exclamation.
However, Gundogan, who came on the way, tackled the QPR's left-back.
Yu Zixiang rolled in pain outside the sideline, and his ankle was tackled. The QPR team doctor ran over quickly, and Gundogan received a yellow card.
Lu Ling doesn't think Yu Zixiang is right, it's just that she has always given players a certain degree of freedom. You can't expect every choice a player makes on the pitch to be rational – of course, that's just her coaching style.
It's different from Pep, it's different from Nick.
After Zixiang fell to the ground, Lu Ling stood up from the coach's seat suddenly, she definitely didn't want to see Zixiang get injured at this critical time.
Yu Zixiang's fall to the ground this time gave the Manchester City manager on the sidelines time time to call Jesus over. The Catalans whispered a few words.
Jesus nodded, his expression a little more serious.
What Pep Guardiola said was: "It's not a game, Gabriel, if we're 4-0 up, I don't mind you, but are you going to score with a barb from that position?
****
When Gabriel Jesus tried that long barb, the Everton players watching the live stream in the Finch Farm common room let out an exaggerated "oh", and then the QPR goalkeeper knocked the ball out and they let out another "oh", followed by laughter and teasing.
"The Brazilians don't take the Germans too seriously. ”
"Yes, Bahmeier has always been very good at saving long-range shots and I tried a few times this season to no avail. ”
"But Jesus's action was incredible. ”
"yes, Patrick isn't in the QPR anymore, but it's fun to watch Jesus challenge Bachmeier, and I wonder if Jesus is cunning enough......"
"Oh, would you like to see Bachmeier sent off?"
"It's unlikely, but I'm looking forward to it...... Oh, and there was a guy on Twitter who said the same thing: 'Hans vs Gabriel, Germany vs Brazil in advance of the World Cup'...... I thought Neuer was still the number one national ...... in Germany."
"Maybe the next World Cup. ”
"Hahahaha......"
If it weren't for the lack of beer, Nicholas would feel like he was watching the game in a pub. These professional players are in the same state as ordinary fans when they watch the game. He smiled. The dressing room had a great atmosphere, as it has always been.
In fact, as a head coach, the quality of tactical level is definitely not everything, and the ability to manage personnel is also extremely important. And now it seems that whether it is the former or the latter, he is doing well. Otherwise, the team wouldn't be at the top of the league at the end of his second season.
In the first half of the season, the media gave Christine and Patrick all the praise, and now, it has become him and the team he leads who enjoy the praise.
He should have hoped that Christine would have lost this game, and of course a draw would have been better, in which case City's threat would have been largely gone. But the moment Jesus barried, he actually wished that goal would not go in.
He didn't know if he was not interested in this kind of inspirational, lucky goal, or if he just didn't want to see her sit in the dugout with a disappointed look on her face.
But when she confronted him directly, he enjoyed the disappointment, anxiety, and anger on her face.
There's a thrill of conquest.
'If Gabriel scores, he will definitely be a candidate for the best goal of the season...... Oh no, no, I forgot about Patrick's epic goal...... In front of that goal, any goal is meaningless. "Juan was basically talking to himself.
"Guess what Pep said to Jesus?" Nicholas suddenly asked his assistant teacher.
Juan smiled, "Isn't that obvious, though, I'm more curious, if Osman had done that, would you have done the same thing as Pep?"
"It depends on how likely I think that choice is to give us the lead. ”
Juan raised an eyebrow at Nicholas, "And Pep ...... I always felt that even if the goal was scored, he might not appreciate it much. Of course, he must have been happy. ”
"How do you know I'm going to appreciate it?"
"Oh come on, Nick, you're a pragmatist. ”
The Everton boss didn't say anything more.
On TV, Yu Zixiang has returned to the field, and it seems that he can still hold on.
****
On the field, QPR finally set off a wave of offensive. However, Leon lost possession under the bag. The QPR was quickly withdrawn and moved back into a defensive position.
Manchester City's 3241 formation unfolded again, enveloping the back of the QPR.
Andrea Zhivkovic's left-footed possession of the ball is exquisite, and every touch of the ball seems to be accompanied by the beautiful folk music of the Balkans. There is no shortage of talented players in the region, and Zhivkovic is dancing in a beautiful technique reminiscent of the artistic football played by the great masters of the former Yugoslavia throughout history.
He got up and lightly passed Yu Zixiang's ferocious snatch, but he slowly retracted his steps, and the rhythm was obviously easy for him. Just as he slowed down, his left foot suddenly struck the ball, and the ball flew through the QPR defence.
Gabriel Jesus understood it and slotted straight into the right side of the box before swinging his leg for a volley.
Hans had secured the near corner, and he looked at the Brazilian, leaning low and his arms slightly outstretched.
But Gabriel Jesus suddenly relented and quickly touched the falling ball and let it fall to his feet. After that, it suddenly turned from right to left.
This was the perfect blow to shake off Glenn Mitchell, who pounced on him from behind to block the shot.
It's like having eyes on your back.
Even Patrick Amber, who was in front of the TV, couldn't help but applaud in his heart when he saw this moment, but at the same time, his heart was tight.
Gabriel Jesus switched to his left foot and shot at goal. The ball is fierce and the distance is very close.
But Hans had moved from the goalline to Gabriel Jesus in less than a second before quickly reaching out his left leg and bouncing the ball off with his knee.
Jesus shook his hand in frustration.
Hans came over and patted the Brazilian on the back with his hand.
The condescending gaze of the Germans did not make the Brazilians feel very comfortable. He didn't respond and walked away.
Jack Amber suddenly spoke: "Pat, that's very difficult, but that should be the only option, right?"
Patrick nodded, "yes, Glenn came up quickly. If you hit the door at the first time, you may be blocked out, or you will be knocked away by interference. ”
Jack didn't speak again. He saw his son's brow furrowed.
Patrick's concern is that the QPR is not on the offensive, at least not yet.
He's gone, and the team struggled to play a strong team in the second half of the season.
Draw with Manchester United, lose to Tottenham, draw with Arsenal, draw with Everton, draw with Chelsea.
Their last game against Liverpool was their only win against a top-eight team in the second half of the season.
However, he only lost one game. She and the coaching staff, as well as the teammates who used to fight side by side with him, must have exhausted all means to grind it out one game at a time.
So, until now, it can maintain the second place in the standings.
****
Lu Ling was by no means without a plan to attack.
It's just that she's waiting for her time, and before that, she needs to trust her players to defend well.
But now it doesn't look so good. Although City didn't find the back of the net, you could feel the team's fighting spirit after one failed goalkeeper.
Pep Guardiola and his players want the three points.
She stood up from the dugout. 166 Reading Network
