Chapter 66: Brother Doesn't Shoot
"I feel like Manchester City have a lot of luck in the FA Cup. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"This is the best chance City have come close to an FA Cup final in 30 years, and any mistake is fatal, let alone a well-placed free-kick, and Lescott's future at Manchester City is really worrying."
The media certainly likes to be alarmist, but what if Lescott succeeds?
It can only be said that Lescott is a very smart player, but this time it was just bad luck.
For such a player, the vast majority of people prefer this to be their teammates rather than opponents.
Mancini stood on the sidelines, making adjustments from time to time.
'It's the semi-finals and it's Manchester City's home stadium, so from the draw they have a big advantage, but they don't play too well...... Commendable. ”
'Liverpool have faced tough opponents on the road to the FA Cup, and if they can safely reach the final and win the title this season, it will be the most expensive FA Cup title in recent years.'
Judging from the strength on paper, or in terms of value, Manchester City is not too far behind Liverpool, especially because they have a deep plastic surgery and the bench is much more expensive than Liverpool.
However, if the opponent's main lineup is not damaged, this squad depth is only a theoretical advantage, and there is not much chance of turning into a practical advantage.
At present, Liverpool also has a lot of injuries, but they have basically avoided the championship schedule.
Therefore, just in terms of the lineup on the field, there is still a big gap between Manchester City and Liverpool.
Mancini imagined he would be behind, but he didn't, three minutes behind.
When Liverpool kicked off, they were in a particularly relaxed state, and many people were still amusing Suarez.
Suarez also said that biting his mouth and changing a goal is a good deal, but he can't do too much, after all, he has to tease the girl with his face, everyone in the front court rolled their eyes, and in the entire midfield, Suarez is the ugliest.
can't be said to be ugly, it's just that the gap is too big compared with Wang Zhen Kaka, who is recognized as a handsome.
Manchester City, on their side, took advantage of the opportunity to kick off and organized a wave of attacks, but to no avail.
Liverpool continued to dominate and possession began to rise significantly.
"Sixty-seven per cent possession means that Liverpool have twice as long as Manchester City!"
It's not just the lead in possession, since the possession rate is suppressed, it means that the suppressed side also has many mistakes, that is, a lot of broken balls, and Liverpool is leading in all aspects of pass success rate and broken ball filter shots.
In the tenth minute, Wang Zhen received a pass from Gerrard and was about to sprint, but the hook with his left foot slipped, so he hurriedly braked, jumped with his right foot in place, and looked down at the ball.
The opponents next to him all came up, and Wang Zhen had no chance to break through, so he had to choose to pass.
Since his left foot didn't hook the ball and the ball was still in place, Wang Zhen simply used the instep of his left foot to flick the ball to the side.
Suarez saw that Wang Zhen didn't get up, so he turned his head sideways for the first time and saw the football coming.
The ball rolled almost parallel to the line of the penalty area to the left, and only a metre away from the line of the penalty area, Suarez's eyes lit up and he volleyed directly on the spot.
The ball sliced over the penalty area, not above the crossbar, but grazed the right post and flew out.
'Suarez had three good chances in the game, scoring a goal from a free-kick, but both of the shots flew wide.
"Wang Zhen clearly made a start-up error, which is rare in Wang Zhen, who is known for his stability, but his experience turned this mistake into a great pass, but Suarez did not take the opportunity to extend the score."
Actually, there is a reason for this mistake.
Wang Zhen's body has entered the golden career period, and his explosive power has increased a part, so when he starts from zero speed, the speed is faster.
Since he has always been accustomed to starting with his right foot, Wang Zhen has subconsciously adapted to the process of increasing his explosive power.
On the contrary, with the left foot, there was an embarrassing situation where the force was too violent, the person passed first, and the ball was still in place and was not kicked.
A mistake almost turned into a wonderful assist, which also made Mancini even more determined that he should stare at Wang Zhen.
The players on the court can clearly perceive who is more under defensive pressure or teammates, and Wang Zhen can also clearly feel it.
In the seventeenth minute, again, Wang Zhen received the football at the position of the penalty line, and the Manchester City defenders all looked at it.
Wang Zhen turned around, handed the ball out at the same time as he turned around, and passed the ball out with a slight twist of his right foot.
The football passed directly between Silva and Barry, and although Gerrard, who was in the position of holding the ball, did not expect Wang Zhen to make the ball for him, he did not hesitate and shot directly with his feet.
Hart pounced and knocked the ball off the line.
Gerrard was also a little disappointed, and turned back to Wang Zhen and gave a thumbs up: "Beautiful pass." ”
Wang Zhen shrugged: "Let's take a corner." ”
Gerrard is in this lineup, and he has to take on part of the task of opening corners, first of all, he has worked with Wang Zhen for more than two years and deliberately developed part of this ability, and secondly, Kaka has the task of heading the ball.
"It's so dangerous, Wang Zhen once again chose to pass the ball instead of attacking, is this a maze or a signal to hand over the ball?"
Hart stood by the right doorpost and shouted, "Resist Wang Zhen!" ”
Everyone knows that as long as Wang Zhen is on the field, in corner kick tactics, header is always the first choice, in England, header in corner kick tactics is already very favorable, not to mention that Liverpool has a big killer like Wang Zhen.
Gerrard takes a corner kick and the ball flies over the box, particularly high.
Hart is even more sure that Wang Zhen is going to head the ball, because this position is only he can touch.
Wang Zhen was entangled by Kompany, but he still jumped hard, and he didn't seem to be affected at all.
Wang Zhen in the air is extremely stretched, and the header will be very comfortable.
Hart was also standing near the right post, ready to pounce.
However, Wang Zhen was in the air, bowed slightly, rubbed the football on the top of his head, slightly changed the direction of the football, and raised the football, making the arc of the football higher!
"It's not a shot! It's a pass! ”
The ball went straight over most of the box and towards the left, with the entire Manchester City defence centred on the right, which was extremely empty.
Kaka is preparing to fight for the header, Suarez is in front of goal, Modric is on the right side of the penalty area, who can get this goal?
A red lightning bolt came out of the line, and facing the football was a heavy whip leg.
"This is, Gareth Bell!"
"Shoot!"
Bel? When did he get to the left?
When Kaka entered the box, Bale followed Modric.
Before Gerrard could take a corner, various runs in the box began.
Modric and Bale were both cross-runs, and the defense was attracted to Modric, and Bale quickly retreated.
At this time, Gerrard had already taken a corner, and it could be judged from the initial route that it could not be outside the penalty area, so the Manchester City players did not care about Bale at all.
However, Bale sprinted at full speed along the line of the penalty area towards the left, looping around the outside and into the open area.
All eyes were on the right, but Bale didn't feel like he was running for nothing.
Because on the football field, maybe you run ten times and the ball doesn't come over, but you have to run, because you have a better chance of running.
And Wang Zhen seems to have seen Bell's running when he took off, so he transitioned directly after the jump.
Bale, volley!
The football flew like a cannonball into the close goal!
