Chapter 61 "Shaq", go up!

Don't look at Leeds United's bold words before the game, saying that they only have respect for the upstarts of the English Premier League and have no fear, but after actually arriving on the field, the "grassroots atmosphere" engraved in the bones is exposed.

At the beginning of the game, the first kick-off "Young Guards" also controlled the ball through the inverted foot, but under the pressure of the Manchester City team, they were soon forced to pass the ball back to the feet of their own defenders, "Blue Moon" is worthy of the hegemony of twenty super teams, when this team is serious, the pressure they bring to Leeds United is very huge, and there is a real gap between the two sides in terms of strength.

In this game, Mancini put out a 4-2-3-1 formation, the powerful goalscorer Dzeko was at the front alone, and behind him were David Silva, Aguero, Nasri three people to share the tasks of organizing attacks, breakthroughs, tandems, etc., and behind these four people are Yaya Toure and De Jong two strong backs, the strength and luxury of this midfield lineup is really shocking, and the pressure that these stars bring to Leeds United is also unprecedentedly huge, and even the captain Jonny Hausen has made mistakes.

Just a minute and a half into the game, Jonny Hausen, who was unwilling to be suppressed by his opponent, strode forward with the ball, but when he faced De Jong, because the breakthrough was a little bigger, De Jong would force his next pass route to change, and the ball that was supposed to be passed to Snodgrass was sent directly to Kompany's feet.

Seeing Jonny Howson's mistakes, Zach Thompson couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he still added Jonny Howson's explosiveness and speed to the full value today, and originally hoped that his good partner could make a greater contribution to his team's attack, but he didn't expect Jonny Howson to make a small mistake at the beginning of this game, it seems that Manchester City can break the monopoly of Manchester United and Chelsea to win the Premier League title, and its overall strength has reached an amazing height under the accumulation of countless money.

And then--

Manchester City's counterattack is coming!

"Tom!"

Kompany kicked hard, but instead of delivering a long ball, he pushed the ball to David Silva on the left with the arch of his foot, and the Belgian defender is now an all-round centre-back who can dominate defensively and control the team's tempo when attacking.

David Silva, who was the hero of last season's Manchester City triumph, led with his left foot and went straight to his left striker and struck forward along the touchline.

It was Reid who appeared at Leeds United's right-back in this game, and after careful consideration, manager Simon Grayson put the more comprehensive strength of Reid at right-back, Connori's strength was still a little worse, and it was the more experienced Irish international Odi who replaced Reid in central defense.

Simon Grayson had already fully considered Manchester City's strong attacking power, but when he saw David Silva break through Red's defense with just a simple change of tempo, he couldn't help but smile wryly......

"David Silva breakthrough! Leeds United's right-back Reid is still too young...... Ah, Red is actively chasing back! This New Zealand player is still very tough! ”

The Wembley Stadium resounded with cheers from the City fans, and the diminutive Spanish midfielder has proved with his superb skills and prowess that the £24 million City have spent on him is not in vain.

"Bang!"

The ball flies!

David Silva got past Reid and immediately came in with a cross, but Reid's follow-up did not cause any interference, and the ball flew low and fast, but it didn't land very well, and was directly punched out by Leeds United goalkeeper Ronegan with a double fist.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa............"

There was a round of applause in Wembley Stadium, and the fans of the "Blue Moon" were still very satisfied with David Silva's performance, his performance was as usual, and he was often able to break through the opponent easily, but the quality of the cross was not very high, but Mancini did not use his cross, but he liked his speed, delicate technique, strong shooting ability, full of aura, fast frequency at the feet, strong ability to change direction and accelerate, and he was also a left-footed player, flexible enough, witty enough, capable of both left and right, and can also play in the middleAs long as David Silva is on the field, Manchester City's midfield will be very closely linked.

Three minutes later, City attacked again, but this time they did not fight back, but through positional battles.

The ball first flicked at the feet of David Silva on the left, and seeing that Reid was defending very carefully, David Silva did not choose to break through on his own, but handed the ball back to Yaya Toure in the back, and then the ball was sent to the feet of Nasri in the right midfield.

The "duck" Nasri, who became famous in the "Gunners" Arsenal, is regarded as a superstar of the French team, after transferring from Marseille to Arsenal for 12 million pounds, he was trained by the "professor" Arsene Wenger, and three years later he doubled the value of Manchester City, and he has become a real star, now Nasri's basic skills are extremely solid, not only is the ability to control the ball stronger, but also the combination of the ball, the technique of getting rid of the ball is also very good, and the rhythm of the ball is very good, It is very similar to his predecessor Zidane, and his left and right foot ability is balanced, he has a considerable long-range shooting ability, he can kick a high-quality long-range shot anytime and anywhere, and even when he takes a free kick, it is enough to run two steps, but his explosiveness has not been very good, which is very similar to Zidane, and it is natural that he is praised as the "new Zidane" by the French.

The moment he received Yaya Toure's pass, Nasri made only two moves, stopped the ball with his right foot, then turned and pushed the ball into the right side of the Leeds United box with the arch of his left foot!

Nasri's two movements were so simple that every footballer or even ordinary person would play a ball, but they were so fast that Ben Parker, who defended him, didn't have time to react, and the effect of this pass was amazing, and when the ball rolled into the penalty area, Aguero, who had not touched the ball since the start of the game, appeared.

Aguero, who is hiding behind Dzeko, is like a ghost, wandering near the Leeds United penalty area line through constant running, which can not only contain Leeds United's defensive strength, but also free himself, just like this time, Aguero and Nasri formed a tacit understanding, and directly came to an anti-offside position to face the goalkeeper.

"Nasri's beautiful pass...... Sergio Aguero's counter-offside success...... Kicker! Shot! ”

"Bang!"

Aguero, who ran diagonally to the ball path, gave way to the ball and then picked up his right foot and kicked it towards Leeds United......

"Ahh

Critical moment-

Roneckan reacted quickly, roared and pounced towards a fish on the right, and the palm of his right hand touched the ball, which was changed to the feet of Red, who quickly turned around and kicked the ball far off the sideline.

"Oh---"

In Wembley Stadium, Manchester City fans sighed in frustration, such a goal was not scored, is it the luck of Manchester City or the luck of Leeds United?

"Leeds' goalkeeper Ronnegan has done really well, he has cleared the danger twice in a row, but Manchester City have taken the initiative in just a few minutes after the game starts, which is not a good thing for Leeds United, and they can't rely on the goalkeeper to block the opponent's attack every time!"

Everyone watching this game has a feeling that Leeds United and their opponents are really not on the same level, the two attacks of the "Blue Moon" have formed a threat, and the door of Leeds United is in danger, which is definitely a reflection of the strong strength of the Premier League champions, and if you continue to play like this, waiting for Leeds United is definitely a failure.

Simon Grayson frowned hard, he is really a little helpless now, in the past, Leeds United was able to limit the opponent's organizational core through Zach Thompson's strong back, in today's game, Simon Grayson gave Zach Thompson's task is to keep an eye on Aguero, who would have thought that the Manchester City team would not play Aguero at all, but used David Silva and Nasri to make a fuss from the two wings, The task of organising and mobilizing the team's attack was handed over to Yaya Toure and captain Kompany, and just Zach Thompson left Aguero a little, and as a result, the Argentine striker almost broke the door of Leeds United, and now Leeds United is really very passive, if they continue to play like this...... It's dangerous!

However, who should their treasure of the town team, "Shaq", be targeted?

Simon Grayson frowned and kept thinking, they have Zach Thompson in the team as a midfielder who can really play a defensive role, while Manchester City has David Silva, Nasri, Aguero can create a threat, and they don't seem to go in the middle at all, so Zach Thompson's defensive role is even smaller!

"Bang!"

With eight minutes played, City had an attacking run when Dzeko beat Craig Dawson in the box and headed the ball into the top left corner of the Leeds United goal.

Seeing this, Simon Grayson gritted his teeth and began to adjust, and he called out to the captain Jonny Hausen: "Jonny, go tell Bentley to withdraw and keep an eye on David Silva, and you also withdraw for me, go and keep an eye on Nasri!" Let Shaq top it for me! The entire middle lane is his, and the offense and defense are up to him! Also, let Robert back a little and help organize the attack! Go ahead! ”

Simon Grayson patted Jonny Hausen on the back hard, and asked his captain to convey the latest instructions, he really has no good way now, the initiative of the game has been lost, and he can only give up the tactics he planned before, although Jonny Hausen and Bentley's defensive ability is only average, but as long as the two of them can limit David Silva and Nasri, then Manchester City's offense should not be so efficient!

Playing Aguero?

Hmph, you might as well try it and see if our "Shaq" is vegetarian!
