Chapter 819: Gorgeous Offensive Drama
Eddie Gray was full of praise for Yang Fan's goal, he found all the words he could use to praise the goal, and Yang Fan's success in getting rid of the goal before the goal surprised Gray the most, such a pass is definitely a combination of the player's skillful foot skills and quick reflexes. Marshmallow Fiction Network //
Unlike Eddie Gray, BBC5 commentator Lineker is very interested in Yang Fan's last shot, the former England international striker understands the value of a goalscorer better, the last shot, the goal is always the most important, Yang Fan's last shot made Lineker stunned, and the Chinese striker's calmness in front of the goal was simply terrifying.
"1-0, Man City leads!"
This was Yang Fan's twelfth goal in the Super League this season, and after three months, Yang Fan scored again. The commentator said this, looked at the number in his hand, and exclaimed, "Although he has been resting for three months due to injury, Yang Fan's current twelve goals are still ranked third, which is really incredible." โ
He is not mistaken, the league has been played for 18 rounds, and on the scorer list, Chelsea's Ivorian striker Drogba leads with 16 goals, while Manchester United's Wayne Rooney ranks second with 13 goals, followed by Yang Fan, counting the goal just now, his goal count is 12 goals, and behind Yang Fan is Tevez, whose goal count is 11 goals.
Considering that Yang Fan has been absent for three months due to injury, counting today's game, he has only played six Premier League games this season, so the gold content of his twelve goals is amazing!
In other words, he took a three-month break, and Drogba and Rooney still haven't been able to close the gap at the top of the scorer list!
"What a horrible shooter. Lineker sighed.
Bruce covered his face in pain when he saw Yang Fan score, and then he walked to the sidelines and waved to signal the players on the field to calm down.
With just over 10 minutes to play, Sunderland didn't have a chance to change the scoreline, provided they weren't led by Manchester City, of course.
Before the game, the media said that for Sunderland, every game is a relegation battle now, which is true, the whole Sunderland team is indeed desperate now, and they are also prepared for the difficulties of this game, so after the game restarted, Sunderland did not show panic, they returned to their rhythm and sought offensive opportunities on the basis of solid defense.
Malblanco was dribbling the ball, and after a combination with Fraser Campbell, he dribbled the ball in the middle to face Gareth Barry's defence, suddenly flicked the ball to the right and shook off the air to shoot directly from 30 meters away!
The angle of the shot was very positive, but the victory was great power and the speed of the ball, Manchester City goalkeeper Givens did not dare to hold the ball, he was afraid to get rid of it, so Givens chose to lift the ball off the crossbar.
There was a round of applause from the stands at the Municipal Stadium to cheer for Given's save, as the fans knew the ball and knew it was the best option for the goalkeeper to lift the ball over the crossbar.
"Why don't you block it?" Given, holding the ball over the crossbar, then shouted to his teammates, "Why didn't anyone go up and intercept it?!"
Clearly, Given's frustration with the team's defence was an unforgivable mistake when no one was defending when Malblanco was shooting, allowing the Australian to shoot with his feet so easily.
Manchester City coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines was startled by Malblanco's shot, he shook his head, knowing that this was the impact of the absence of Dutch defender De Jong, in previous games, De Jong and Gareth Barry formed a double back can play a better role in the midfield to shield and limit the opponent, today Manchester City's midfielder is Gareth Barry, Ireland, Wright Phillips and Bellamy, of which only Gareth Barry is in charge of the defense, can be imagined how poor the interception ability in midfield is.
This is also a set of plans chosen by the Manchester City manager in the case of De Jong's injury, strengthening the attack and using the number of goals to make up for the defensive gap. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search]
Sunderland's corner.
Malblanco slowly placed the ball in the corner and raised his hand to make a gesture.
As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Henderson immediately ran over to answer it, and Malblanco immediately dialed the ball to him, a tactical corner!
After Henderson got the ball, he made a flick of the ball and cut inside into the small penalty area, Ennuoha quickly came up to intercept, he stretched out his foot to poke the ball, but it was empty, it was Henderson who preemptively passed the ball out, and then people saw Fraser Campbell pass the ball into the box.
"Be carefulโ" shouted City goalkeeper Given, but it was too late as Sunderland defender Saha leaped high and jumped a head higher than Richards, who was defending him.
It was a beautiful header shot.
Given's reach for it, but he couldn't touch the football.
"Sunderland! they equalised!"
"Mensaha, he scored for Sunderland!
The Sunderlanders celebrated wildly as their head coach Bruce jumped to his feet and swung his fist hard, his tactics paid off, and the goal came just in time.
There was a roar of cheer in Sunderland's dugout and on the bench, while City's side was a bit dead. It didn't take long for the goal to be equalized by the opponent, which was indeed a bit demoralizing.
Mark Hughes leaned back in his seat, he couldn't even swear words, this goal gave Manchester City a wake-up call, after Yang Fan's goal, Mark Hughes also thought that the victory in this game would be more smooth, and now it seems that he underestimated Sunderland.
However, the Manchester City players on the field were not affected too much, and the camera found Yang Fan and saw him gather several players together and say a few words.
"Oh, this is Manchester City captain Yang Fan having a meeting on the pitch again. "Yang Fan is becoming more and more like a good captain, he knows what to do when and when!"
"However, I think with Yang Fan on the field, the rest of the Manchester City players should not be too panicked. Lineker said.
As he said, the current Manchester City has changed a lot from the previous impression that the Manchester City collapsed once it encountered difficulties, and after Yang Fan came to this team, the young captain injected something different into this team, that is, strength and resilience!
This is the resilience that Yang Fan can always stand up for the team in difficult situations and use goals to temper for the team.
Therefore, Sunderland's goal, although it was a bit of a surprise for the Manchester City players, the players were not frustrated and were not affected too much.
After kick-off in the centre circle again, it was noted that City were not panicking over the goal conceded and continued to press Sunderland's goal, and it was clear that they wanted to score as much as they could to put the score over again.
Sunderland's attack found near City's box and Campbell tried to cut inside with the ball, but he was suddenly tackled by Silvinho.
The former Barcelona full-back, who had been silent, broke the ball and immediately passed the ball to Wright Willlips, who received the ball outside the box and drove forward quickly, and Sunderland's left-back McCartney saw that the situation was not good, and immediately chased back to block it.
"It's a quick chance for Manchester City!"
This kind of quick counter-attack is Wright Phillips' specialty, and the opposition players have no time to return to the defense, and the defense is weak, which is the best time to score.
After Wright Phillips took a distance, this time he did not continue to stick the ball, but knocked the ball to Gareth Barry, who was protecting in the middle, and continued to plug it in, Barry understood and immediately knocked the ball back to Bellamy next to him, who sent the ball directly forward, and the ball was again under the control of Wright Phillips, and Manchester City played a beautiful one-three to form a breakthrough on the right side.
Sunderland midfielder Reid immediately tried to chase back, using both hands and feet, pulling and pulling, and finally brought Wright Phillips to the ground. The referee's whistle didn't blow though, as Phillips passed the ball before he fell to the ground.
Phillips passed the football to Ireland, Ireland couldn't shoot with their backs to goal, the only thing he could do was pass the ball again!
Yang Fan saw Ireland get the ball and began to cut inside on the side, looking like he was going to make a match with Ireland, seeing this scene, Sunderland defender Saha immediately became nervous, he quickly pounced on Yang Fan, and the other Sunderland defenders were also nervous, and for a while everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Fan.
Ireland's pass came, and it was really looking for Yang Fan!
Mensaha immediately stepped out to break the ball, knowing that Yang Fan would definitely try to stop the ball and turn around.
But Yang Fan didn't follow the script in Mensaha's heart, I saw that Yang Fan didn't stop the ball, he made a move to stop the ball, but he raised his foot, and he let the football pass!
This time, the Sunderlanders were shaken!
The ball rolls over and to the other side and Tevez is there!
Does anyone pay attention and defend the Argentine?
The answer is no!
Mensaha followed Yang Fan, Northworth was also paying attention to Yang Fan, and McCartney went to the wing to help defend Ireland, Henderson was watching Bellamy, and everyone else was guarding against someone else!
The Sunderlanders are leaking!
In the face of such an opportunity, Tevez will not let go, he meets the ball and volleys!
Sunderland's goalkeeper Jurgen Flopp was unprepared and the ball was already flying by as he prepared to pounce...... Flew into the net!
In the stands at the Municipal Stadium, Manchester City's home stadium, City jumped out of their seats and the goal ignited the excitement of the stadium......
"Man City scored, Tevez scored, they put the score on the scoreline again!"
"Tevez scored!!, he became the hero of the team!"
"Sunderland's defence is torn apart!"
'It was a beautiful goal, Ireland's assist, Tevez's goal. "Don't forget Yang Fan, though, his movement has caught the attention of most of Sunderland's backline, and his missed ball is wonderful!
On the commentary seat, the passionate shouts of the commentators rang out and mingled.
On the sidelines, Mark Hughes also rushed out of the dugout, and he waved his fist in celebration of the goal, which was fantastic both in terms of the process and the timing of the goal.
"It's two-one!" Manchester City once again put the score on the scoreline at home. โ
Tevez excitedly celebrated the goal, Yang Fan came over to hug his friends, and more people gathered around to celebrate the goal.
With 29 minutes played, City took the lead again.
Sunderland manager Bruce spat on the ground unhappily, this time he didn't rant at his players, this goal was not because Sunderland made a mistake himself, but Manchester City's attack was too exciting, not a war crime.
Bruce stared at Yang Fan with a gloomy face, the opponent has such a superstar, and it is too difficult for Sunderland to take away a satisfactory result from Manchester City's home stadium: Bruce can see clearly, although this goal was scored by Tevez, but Yang Fan has half of the credit, this Chinese star did not touch the ball at all, just a run made the Sunderland defense collapse, and Yang Fan's leaky ball directly penetrated Sunderland's shield......
Just five minutes later, another goal from Manchester City arrived.
It was Carlos Tevez's long-range shot that resulted in a save from the goalkeeper and City were awarded a corner flag opportunity.
Gareth Barry takes a corner.
Yang Fan fought for the point in the penalty area, and his accurate judgment of the landing point was perfectly reflected in this moment, and he jumped first, which allowed him to overpower Mensaha, who was half a beat slow to jump.
Yang Fan shook his head!
Shake your head and hit the goal!
Sunderland goalkeeper Jurgen Flopp pounced on the ball but didn't save!
The Sunderlanders were stunned, but the ball hit the post and bounced back, and before the Sunderlanders could clear the ball, Bellamy's tackle had already arrived, and the Welsh shooter almost slid into the net with the football!
The ball is in the goal!
"Three to one!"
'City stretched the gap to two goals. โ
With 35 minutes played, City led Sunderland 3-1.
Seeing Bellamy's goal, Mark Hughes was now determined, leading by two goals, and playing at home again, he didn't think his team would have problems.
Sunderland manager Bruce's face is full of sadness, and he really has little hope for his team to come back and win the game.
All the goals of this game came in the first half.
Three minutes later, a Sunderland corner was prompted by Reid's header in the Manchester City penalty area, and Richards made a mistake to clear the ball and kicked it directly to Malblanco, who fired a long-range shot from the top of the box and the ball flew straight into the net.
Sunderland pulled a goal back to make it 2-3.
The goal also thrilled the Sunderland fans in front of the TV for a while, and they seemed to see hope of an equaliser.
Truth be told, Sunderland played quite well in today's game, scoring two goals in the first half of the game in a passive situation, which is not easy for Sunderland, who are second from bottom in the league.
However, Sunderland met Manchester City, who burst out with huge energy, and after Yang Fan returned from injury, under the leadership of this young captain, Manchester City seemed to have burst out of the energy that had been held back for three months.
With 42 minutes played, Wright Phillips' breakthrough earned City a free-kick in front.
Gareth Barry put the ball in front of him and looked up at his team-mates in the box, where he saw Colo Toure, who had rushed into the box to scramble for a header, and the centre-back had a good header.
Gareth Barry thought for a moment and didn't hesitate any longer, as the referee's whistle blew, he hoisted the ball into the box and headed it straight over Toure's head.
Toure was just about to take off when a huge figure jumped diagonally and got stuck in front of him, scrambling to get to the landing point.
It was Sunderland defender Turnard, and when Toure ran into the box to participate in the attack, Turnard noticed the opposition centre-back with good header ability, and he was prepared to jump first.
However, Toure is ability is indeed good, although he was preempted by Turner to jump, but, the same jumping up Toure still made Turner not feel good with his physical elements, although he hit the football, but the ball was not able to go far, the ball drew an arc and fell to the edge of the penalty area.
There, Sunderland midfielder Malblanco was just about to clear the ball when Richards kicked the ball into the air.
It was Richards who once again passed the ball into the box.
This caused chaos in front of the Sunderland gate.
Sunderland defender Saha swooped in on the ball and he was about to clear the ball with his feet.
At this time, a figure appeared, it was Yang Fan!
He successfully grabbed in front of Men Saha, and he squeezed Men Saha behind him, who desperately squeezed forward, but was stuck behind by Yang Fan.
Hell, is this guy so strong? Mensaha cursed in his heart, and then he saw Yang Fan's foot movements, and his eyes widened in despair.
Yang Fan raised his right foot and faced the flying football, which was directly a half-volley!
The ball flew from Sunderland's goalkeeper Jurgen Flopp's armpit into the bottom right corner of the net, just in time for the goalkeeper to turn around and see the ball hit the net. This shot is so powerful that it can't be saved!
The net is hit high by a football!
A goal with sky-high momentum!
