Chapter 1112 - Than Assist
In a sense, Leonardo's targeted defense in this game was still effective.
Because Glory and Ibrahimovic really didn't score in this game.
However, that doesn't mean Inter will be able to win Manchester City away from home.
It's true that Glory and Ibrahimovic didn't score in the match, but they did ...... Assists!
Here's the thing.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides were still evenly matched.
Manchester City, playing at home, may still have a slight advantage, but it is not to the point of directly pressing Inter Milan to play.
However, in the 21st minute, it was a different story when Glory shook off the Inter defenders on the wing and feints to get into the box and then passed the ball to Sneijder, who was unmarked in the back row.
Sneijder was not polite in the face of the nanny assist sent by Glory, and directly volleyed his foot, and the football bypassed the ten fingers of goalkeeper Cesar and flew into the goal.
Manchester City leads Inter Milan 1-0!
The ball was like a bolt from the blue on Inter Milan's head!
The Inter Milan fans who came with the team immediately fell silent, and the sky above the Manchester City Stadium was filled with cheers from the Manchester City fans.
Taking a one-goal lead at their own home stadium means that City are in good form, based on City's usual appearance.
Then they can expect more goals in the next game, and it will definitely be a win in the end!
Assist Sneijder's glory and Sneijder hug and celebrate, and the rest of his teammates rushed forward.
Ibrahimovic did not go up to join in the fun.
He pursed his lips.
Just now he ran to the goal, but Rongguang didn't wear the football to himself, but passed it to Sneijder.
Ibrahimovic admits Sneijder was better than himself when he was unmarked, but ...... If he passes it to himself, even if he has two Inter players around him, he can still play football.
Now that Glory is out of the limelight with this breakthrough, Sneijder is following suit, and what about himself? It has nothing to do with myself.
Ibrahimovic was not convinced.
Isn't it just the babysitter assisting?
Me too!
Just now, Glory passed three Inter Milan players who defended him in one go before the assist, and then accurately delivered the football to Sneijder's feet while being caught between two Inter Milan players, and Sneijder's goal was 80 percent...... No, maybe 90 percent of the credit goes to the glory.
Just look at how loud the cheers from the stands rang out when he broke through with the ball just now.
Manchester City fans were completely mesmerized by the glorious individual performance.
Ibrahimovic won't let Glory stand out on his own.

Next, when Leonardo, who was on the sidelines, was still thinking about how to equalize and finally complete the reversal, Ibrahimovic was already gearing up to be more relieved than anyone's assist.
Yes, peace of mind.
Since it is to assist more than the nanny, it is natural to be the most worry-free to be considered a nanny.
You bring the meal to the people, of course this is the babysitter.
But people have to do it themselves if they want to eat.
If you want to make people worry-free, of course, you have to taste the rice directly in the other person's mouth.
However, until the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic did not find the most worry-free way to assist, so in the assist, he is currently behind Glory with a score of 0:1.
Manchester City also did not score, and the score was still 1-0 at the end of the first half.
Leonardo was a little unhappy that his team didn't equalise right away, but it was good that he didn't concede more goals at the end of the first half.
He thought it was a good sign, and after his adjustment at halftime, he began to launch a Jedi counterattack in the second half!
※※※
However, when he came out of the break for fifteen minutes, reality gave him a blow at the beginning of the second half.
In the 49th minute of the game, four minutes into the second half, City launched an attack.
Sneijder wanted to pass the football to Rongguang, but found that Rongguang was surrounded by Inter Milan players, so he changed his mind and passed the football to Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and as the most advanced player in Manchester City's attacking lineup, Ibrahimovic was still outside the box, so it can be seen that Inter Milan's defense is still relatively successful.
As soon as Ibrahimovic got the ball, the Inter players surrounded him and prevented Ibrahimovic from bursting into the box or shooting.
In such a situation, Ibrahimovic rubbed forward with his right foot on the football, and then suddenly turned around!
Of course, instead of turning and bursting into the box, he turned backwards and distanced himself from the players who defended him closely.
Inter Milan centre-back Materazzi, who was responsible for defending Ibrahimovic closely, did not expect Ibrahimovic to do so...... So he didn't react to Ibrahimovic's turn, just watched Ibrahimovic adjust his body to face the goal.
It's normal, Materazzi will definitely think that Ibrahimovic is going to turn around, and he is also trying to break through to the penalty area, where did he turn back?
What he didn't know was that Ibrahimovic turned to face the goal in order to make it easier for him to make the next move.
As soon as he finished turning, he picked up his right leg, which was to shoot directly from outside the box!
Seeing this, Materazzi hurriedly stepped forward, intending to block Ibrahimovic's shot with his body.
However, as soon as he stepped forward, he was detained by Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic faked a real dunk, and Materazzi rushed up to break the ball too fiercely, and Ibrahimovic easily dunked it.
Ibrahimovic then used the outside of his right foot to push the ball forward, and with another step, he was right behind Materazzi.
Ibrahimovic then continued to dribble the ball and he slid the ball into the box.
Right-back McCone came up to grab the ball at Ibrahimovic's feet.
He's aggressive, and he wants a big kick to kick the ball out, which is also a very clean defense.
However, Ibrahimovic had already seen through what he wanted to do, and instead of continuing to dribble the ball, he suddenly made a sudden stop, stretched out his foot and stepped on the ball back, and McCone slammed it into the air.
His foot and the football passed by, and there was only a few centimeters of difference.
McConn, who kicked in the air, also lost his balance and fell straight to the ground.
At the same time, Ibrahimovic leaned back sharply when he made a sudden stop, and the defender Muntari, who had caught up from behind, suddenly felt like he had hit a wall.
Ibrahimovic didn't move, and he was pushed backwards by the reaction......
The Swede then used his right foot to dunk the ball to the left.
This time in front of him was another centre-back, Samuel.
The Argentine "The Rock" did not rush to the top of the game, but spread his legs and lowered his center of gravity to face Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down in the face of Samuel in the process of dribbling, he just dribbled the ball and stabbed it with his left foot, and the ball rolled between Samuel's legs, and then, Ibrahimovic turned slightly and brushed past the Argentine central defender!
He's facing the goalkeeper right now!
Julio Cesar dropped out and pounced on Ibrahimovic, who looked to have a chance to block Ibrahimovic's angle!
However, at this time, Ibrahimovic gave full play to the advantages of his long legs!
I saw that I stretched out my left leg almost like a fork, and then stabbed the football!
Cesar, meanwhile, was on the ground and lunged at the ball, expanding his defence a lot and believing that Ibrahimovic's hasty shot would be blocked.
If Ibrahimovic's shot was aimed at the goal, Cesar would have thought so.
But...... Ibrahimovic didn't kick the ball towards the goal!
This stab of his is stabbing the football to the side!
The football passed in front of Cesar, and Cesar couldn't do anything but watch!
In the direction in which the football rolled past, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye!
Ibrahimovic poked...... David Silva! ”
John Mortensen shouted happily that he could have predicted the ball in advance.
Ibrahimovic gave the entire Inter defence to the goalkeeper and then passed the ball to David Silva, who was plugged in behind.
The Spaniards are now facing an empty goal from Inter Milan, and it is a chance that it is more difficult to score than to score, will this goal still run?
David Silva even had a chance to stop the ball after receiving the ball from Ibrahimovic, and then he raised his right foot and knocked it sideways into the goal!
The ball is in!
Manchester City leads Inter Milan 2-0!
"David Silva! David Silva! Manchester City have a two-goal lead at home! Can we say that this game is over? May I? Of course! In the first half, Rong assisted Sneijder to score, and in the second half, Ibrahimovic assisted David Silva to score! Inter Milan want to score three goals in a row away from home and turn the tables around, that's impossible! ”
Once again, the Manchester City Stadium burst into deafening cheers.
David Silva was thrilled after the goal, ran to Ibrahimovic, who had passed the ball to him, and then jumped up and threw himself into Ibrahimovic's arms.
Ibrahimovic was ready for this, and after breaking free of Cesar, he stood still, arms outstretched, leaning back slightly, waiting for David Silva to pounce.
He caught David Silva firmly and the two of them hugged each other to celebrate the goal.
