In the stands, the fans found the clue at the first time, which sparked heated discussions:

"Center? How is this possible? ”

"Could it be that Pep Guardiola wants to build a new squad?"

"It's good to play on the wing, why do you want to switch to the center forward position?"

In the VIP box, Manchester City's senior executives were also full of surprise.

Boss Mansour blurted out: "New attempt? ”

The senior executives next to him nodded repeatedly.

"It's okay!"

Mansour felt that it was not a bad thing to make a new attempt.

After Li Chuanqi came on the field, it caused a lot of discussion.

Pep Guardiola's use of Li Chuanqi as a central striker not only surprised Manchester City, but also surprised Bournemouth, and also disrupted their defensive set-up.

Bournemouth's coaching staff gathered around to discuss a defensive strategy urgently, and the defenders responded immediately.

After the game restarted, Li Chuanqi took the initiative to retreat and interact with the midfielders.

As a Spaniard, he understands the strikerless squad better than any other player.

With his drop-back, City's midfield was more in control and more comfortable in passing.

In the eighteenth minute of the second half, Manchester City suddenly increased the tempo of the attack and distributed the football to the left side.

David Silva switched positions with Raheem Sterling, took De Bruyne's pass and sent in a quick cross!

Li Chuanqi, who followed up in the middle, jumped high and pressed the opponent's central defender to hit the goal with a flick!

The soccer ball flies off the pitch over the crossbar!

"Coax! ……”

A loud bang rang out at the Yoon Tihad Stadium, followed by thunderous applause.

Manchester City fans are encouraging Li Chuanqi because he played a center forward that he is not familiar with.

The goal caused the Bournemouth defenders to argue, with each other believing it was the other's defensive responsibility.

However, the argument quickly subsided, as the game was now underway.

The game continued, Manchester City launched a high press, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.

The Bournemouth defender simply kicked a big foot and launched a long counter-attack.

Although it was a long pass with the nature of a clearance, it worked wonderfully as left winger Fraser picked up the ball, quickly advanced along the touchline and suddenly cut inside, causing panic in the Manchester City back line.

Fraser cut and crossed the ball to the middle.

"Peng! ……”

After striker Wilson got the ball, he got rid of Stones and shot directly from a distance!

The soccer ball blasted towards the goal like a cannonball!

The hearts of the Manchester City fans stopped beating and their faces began to change.

But the angle was too good for Ederson to save the ball and Stones rushed to get the ball under control before Fraser could make a follow-up shot.

"Nope! ……”

Bournemouth held their heads in pain, what a good chance to overtake the score......

"Good shot! ……”

Manchester City fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the pitch, John Stones knew it was an opportunity for a quick counter-attack and quickly moved the ball to David Silva, who picked up on the wing.

The Spanish midfielder took the ball and advanced at high speed, quickly passing through the midfield.

"Smack! ……”

David Silva suddenly passes the ball with one kick!

Surprisingly, David Silva didn't pass the ball to De Bruyne, who was closest to him, but straight to the edge of the box!

This is looking for Li Chuanqi!

The pass was very sudden, and suddenly the back line at Bournemouth was not ready.

Li Chuanqi quickly judged the landing point of the football and moved quickly towards his right front!

"Quick!"

Bournemouth centre-back Mins followed Li Chuanqi closely and yelled at Daniels, another centre-back behind him: "Bag clamp! ”

Bag clip?!

Li Chuanqi raised his chest, and the football fell accurately.

Bournemouth centre-back Mins took advantage of this opportunity to stride behind Li Chuanqi and grab Li Chuanqi's shirt with his left hand!

Another centre-back, Daniels, also came behind Mings.

At the moment when the football made contact with his chest, Li Chuanqi's body suddenly retreated to defuse the impact of the football.

Li Chuanqi unloaded the football very well, and when the football fell to his waist, he lifted his left leg and used his thigh to pad the football to the right front!

The ball flew towards his right front.

Bournemouth central defender Mings pulled his left hand and took a big stride at the same time to get stuck between Li Chuanqi and the goal!

It's a standard defensive countermeasure.

"Peng! ……”

Li Chuanqi didn't seem to be affected by Mins's pull, and when the football was still twenty centimeters from the ground, he completed the volley!

】

When the football was about to leave his ankle, Li Chuanqi took advantage of the situation and pulled upward.

Bournemouth central defender Mings hurriedly stretched out his left leg to block!

The ball flashed under Mings' calf, creating a rainbow in the air and flying over the head of Bournemouth goalkeeper Begovic!

However, there was no surprise in the eyes of Manchester City fans, because according to the trajectory of football, the ball would fly off the pitch against the crossbar!

In an amazing scene, the football fell sharply after passing over Begovic's head!

"Pong! ……”

With a loud bang, the ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced towards the goal!

"Drop! ……”

When the ball flew into the goal, the referee blew the whistle for the goal.

This sound broke the silence of the Yin Tihad Stadium and ignited the passion in the hearts of Manchester City fans!

"Entered!"

"The ball is in!"

Instantly, deafening cheers and cheers flooded the entire stadium!

At the moment, Bournemouth centre-back Mings's left leg was still in the air, and goalkeeper Begovic consciously put his hands above his head, as if to block the football......

Li Chuanqi pointed at David Silva and ran towards him, and the Manchester City players ran towards the two of them excitedly......

The group of reporters on the sidelines once again heated up:

"Is this a success?"

"Forget it......"

"Nima, this guy Li, hey, what do you want to say...... It seems like you really can do anything......"

"Chest stop, thigh cushion, volley...... Coherent! ”

"That's the way the center striker plays, it's simple and effective!"

In the VIP box, there were cheers and applause from Manchester City's top management.

Boss Mansour nodded and said, "Not bad! Not bad! I thought I bought a winger, but who knew I bought a center! ”

The higher-ups knew that he was joking, and followed along:

"We've been missing a strong centre-forward, and now we've finally dug it out!"

"Will Pep Guardiola also have a headache, to let Lee play as a center forward, his tactics will also have to be adjusted!"

"Yes, as a no-blade play, is it going to change?"

In the command area, Guardiola breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and letting Li kick the center forward was not his temporary intention, but it was premeditated, but it has not been implemented.

Before tonight's game, he had a premeditated plan to let Li Chuanqi play center, but he was afraid that Li Chuanqi would not agree, so he did not discuss it with him in advance.

If Li Chuanqi does not perform so perfectly in the center position tonight, he will be counterattacked by Li Chuanqi himself, and the media will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to attack him.

As for the fans......

So he's under a lot of pressure, and this ball can take a lot of pressure off him.
