Chapter 1274: Rear Oxtail

Neymar watched the replay of the game and lowered his head again.

At the beginning, he played in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as a player who could only run with the ball and score from distance, but now, after many years of experience in the Europa League, he has become more and more comprehensive, showing his keen sense of running and grabbing points.

Today, Glory has been able to use a variety of methods and techniques to score goals, and it is better to say that he is a striker than a striker.

Neymar saw in Glory the value of European football for a player.

He kept his head down, feeling that perhaps he should leave Santos sooner rather than later and go to Europe. For the first time, he regretted that he had just renewed his contract with Santos.

※※※

The game continued. After Manchester City took the lead, they were more demoralised and attacking.

And at the second and three minutes, he extended the lead.

It was still Sneijder's attack, he passed the ball to Kaka, who passed the ball to Milner, who in turn passed the ball to Glory.

After the glorious horizontal dribble, the ball was passed to Ibrahimovic.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic turned his back to goal and moved straight to the left wing.

At this time, the left-back Alba, who ran up from the backfield, kept the ball and crossed directly, but the glory of passing the ball to Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area just now had already appeared in front of the goal, he jumped high and headed the goal!

However, his header hit the crossbar before bouncing back into the box.

This time, Ibrahimovic, who turned around and ran to the penalty area, ran to the landing point of the football, he unloaded the flying football with his chest, and then directly volleyed with his foot!

Before the ball hit the ground, Ibrahimovic's right foot was swung towards the goal!

Goalkeeper Rafael had just been saving a glorious header, and at this time he landed, and he didn't have time to get up, let alone save, he could only watch the football fly into the goal and crash into the net with the other Santos players!

2:0!

"Ibrahimovic-!! A beautiful team attack! Ibrahimovic's follow-up shot brought the attack to a successful end! When City passed the ball in succession, Santos' players could only run around with the football and grab the ball...... Manchester City looked relaxed against Santos, they passed back and forth, and they seemed to be at ease, almost making people think that they were not Manchester City, but Barcelona......"

This is really the case, this ball just now Manchester City really played like Barcelona, continuous possession passes, and finally mobilized Santos's defense, one blow is a kill.

But it can't be said that this kind of football is unique to Barcelona, in fact, with the technical ability of Manchester City's players, it is not impossible for them to play the ball if they want to play the zhì ball. It's just that Benitez thinks it's more efficient to win by playing defensive counter-attacks, so he chooses defensive counter-attacks.

Now facing Santos, who are much weaker than them, Manchester City don't mind playing something they didn't play much before.

※※※

City didn't slow down their pace or tempo after the goal, and they continued to bombard Santos' goal.

In the 26th minute, Kaka sent a through ball to Rongguang again, and Rongguang formed a single knife in the front court. However, Santos' right-back Danilo returned in time to clear the ball, otherwise Santos could have conceded two goals in a row in just three minutes.

A minute later, Santos finally had a shot that could threaten the City goal, and Neymar's low shot from inside the box was denied by Joe Hart.

In the 29th minute, Sneijder flicked a through ball to Kaka, who formed a one-on-one shot, but his powerful shot from a tight angle was blocked by the post, startling the fans in the stands with a loud gasp.

In the 41st minute, City scored again. Ibrahimovic didn't choose to shoot directly after receiving a pass in the box, but instead unexpectedly made a clever back-heel pass to the back of the line, and the glory chased the ball to shoot near the baseline.

Goalkeeper Rafael saved, but instead of saving the ball off the line, it bounced into the middle.

Sneijder made a stoppage, but this time the ball was blocked by Santos defender Rafael Leao with his body.

The football fell to Kaka's feet, and Kaka faced a scuffle in the penalty area, very calmly and directly pushed, and the football rolled against the turf into the goal. Manchester City leads 3-0!

"Kaka! 3:0! I think the suspense is out of the game, and even though there are a full 45 minutes to go, City are three goals ahead and we don't see any hope of Santos equalising or overtaking. To be honest, although Santos is the winner of the Copa Libertadores, the Copa Libertadores title is not enough to look at in front of the Champions League winners these days......"

John Mortensen's words may sound uncomfortable to Santos fans, but he is telling the truth. And Santos fans in South America won't be able to hear him anyway......

※※※

At this point, Manchester City's attacking trident has all scored, and everyone has a goal.

Not long after, the first half of the game was over.

The Manchester City players walked off the pitch with a relaxed look and a smile on their team-mates, while the Santos players looked very depressed with their heads bowed.

They conceded three goals in the first half, even if they didn't think the winning rate was high, but they didn't lose so badly, right?

If you lose three goals in the first half, then if you lose three more goals in the second half, won't it be a tragedy?

At the start of the second half, Manchester City played a counter-attack up front. Ibrahimovic's low shot from inside the Glory box was blocked by Rafael before Leao turned and kicked the ball away.

Then Manchester City pressed Santos to continue the onslaught, and Santos's attack was difficult even in the half.

At first, Neymar was still waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him in the front court, so that he could play a counterattack or something.

As a result, he found it difficult for his teammates to get the ball on, so as the game wore on, he moved further and further down the pitch. In the end, they were almost in front of the forbidden area.

His impressive skills in the Brazilian league were on display just two minutes into the game.

On the contrary, it was Rongguang and Kaka and Ibrahimovic who became the protagonists of the game. The three of them have different technical characteristics and different divisions of labor on the field, but no matter who they are, the skills they show can amaze the fans in the stadium and the audience in front of the television.

On the contrary, Neymar, who has more fancy actions than them, has no chance to show Xiàn.

At the start of the 60th minute, Benitez made his first substitution, replacing Ibrahimovic with Berbatov.

Five minutes later, Kaka was replaced by Gareth Barry.

Glory continued to be left on the pitch while City had one substitution remaining.

Kaka and Ibrahimovic were substituted, and in the eyes of many fans, half of the media for this game was lost.

But fortunately, Glory was not replaced, otherwise there would not have been even the remaining half.

Santos also made substitutions, such as replacing full-back Danilo with midfielder Elano in an attempt to strengthen the attack.

Santos manager Faosetti believes that after Kaka and Ibrahimovic are both gone, Manchester City's attack will not be as fierce as before, and Santos should have a chance.

However, in the 71st minute, Matuidi gave the ball to the retreat after stealing Neymar's dribble at the back.

After receiving the ball, Rongguang turned around and faced Ganso in front of him, Rongguang was different from Neymar, who was dangling left and right just now and was cut off by Matuidi, he directly took the football forward, the football rolled past Ganso's side, and the fast Ganso couldn't react.

After kicking the ball out, Glory accelerated at the same time, rushing over from the other side of Ganso, and a man came to the ball!

Next, there was a huge cheer from the stands of the Yokohama International Stadium, and the Japanese fans cheered for a Chinese fan, and they all chanted: "Rush, Rongsang!" ”

The commentators were also excited, because everyone knew that this was the moment when Rongguang was best at speed sprint performance!

※※※

After Glory got rid of Ganso with his speed, he caught up with the football.

Unabated, facing Santos midfielder Bruno, who pounced on him to defend him, Glory rushed straight with the football.

Just when the two men were so close that Bruno thought he could break the ball of glory with a single stretch of his foot, he stretched his foot, but the glory stabbed the ball forward faster than him!

He kicked it empty.

At the same time, Glory had a sudden stop and jump movement, dodging Bruno's kick, and then he landed, started, accelerated, and went around Bruno's side.

He chased football again.

This kind of breakthrough dribbling is a great test of the player's explosiveness, but this kind of thing is not a problem for Glory at all.

With his explosiveness, after three steps, he caught up with football.

But at the same time, Santos' centre-back Rafael Leao has also caught up with football.

Glory caught up with the ball and pulled it back with the sole of his right foot, just in time to avoid Leao's first tackle. But Leao's second kick swept up, and he seemed to expect Glory to pull the football back, so his second kick went straight to the football that Glory pulled back.

It looks like the glory can't be flashed at all this time.

And Leao's kick is menacing, if you don't know that Glory will not only lose the ball but also get injured, Leao is really anxious, even if he uses fouls, he has to keep Glory and football here!

It seems that Glory's best option is to give up possession and jump to avoid Leao's "sweeping leg" this time.

But with the glory of the football still under his right foot, he did not give up the intention of giving up football, and his right foot continued to step on the football and pull it back.

Not just pull back, but also behind your left foot.

When the soccer ball was shifted to the back of his left foot, Glory's right foot slipped off the soccer ball, he bent his left leg, stretched his right leg, skimmed his ankle, bypassed the supporting left foot from behind, and then stabbed the soccer ball to the right with the tip of his right foot!

The soccer ball circled around his left foot, rolled in front of his left foot, and rolled past Leo's swept foot, rolled in the direction behind Leo, and passed Leo!

Oxtail on the back!
