Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 431 Manchester City Dynasty
Every year after the national team match day, there are many players whose condition is affected due to the national team match.

Especially those areas very far away from Europe, such as South America.

In the fifth round of the Premier League that started on September 9, Aguero, who had just participated in the Argentine national team game and returned to the club all the way back, was injured and retired in the 12th minute of the first half, which cast a doubt on the game. cast a shadow.

Aguero is not the only one affected by the FIFA virus. Many players in the Manchester City team were not in good condition in this game.

And their opponent happened to be Crystal Palace, which ranked second in the league. This game was played at home by Crystal Palace. They continued their good momentum since the start of the new season and played very decisively at their home court.

At the end of the first half, Crystal Palace's ball possession rate reached 45% and the number of shots reached 6.

For a strong team like Manchester City that plays pass-and-control football, the opponent's ball possession rate exceeds 40%, which proves that they have not been able to completely suppress their opponents.

So at the end of the first half, Manchester City had a rare misfire and failed to take the lead.

This situation did not change in the second half. Seeing the game time passing by, the Manchester City fans who came to the scene to cheer for the team began to worry.

Will my team's winning streak be ended here?

Although Crystal Palace fans really want to see their team overthrow Manchester City at home, they also know that the possibility of this is very low.

Even when Manchester City is in poor condition, it is so difficult to deal with them.

If they meet Manchester City in their heyday, then even if they play at home, this game may not be as good or bad.

Therefore, Crystal Palace fans can accept a draw.

With their lineup and strength, drawing with the powerful Manchester City is not only not shameful, but is also something worth boasting about.

The 90-minute regular time was coming to an end, and the two teams still failed to score.

The expectations of Crystal Palace fans seem to be coming true soon!
Although in the second half, Manchester City increased the ball possession rate to 58%, gained control of the field, and formed a siege on the Crystal Palace goal in the second half.

But they blasted 20 shots but didn't get a single goal!
In this game, goalkeeper McCarthy, whom Crystal Palace bought from Queens Park Rangers for £490 million this summer, performed very well. He made 6 effective saves with high passes and saved his team time and time again.

Without his divine performance, Crystal Palace's goal would have been breached long ago.

On the sidelines, Guardiola could no longer sit still.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at his team's bench, seemingly preparing to make the final substitution.

The reason why Manchester City struggled to score in this game was mainly because after Aguero retired from injury, Lin Quan was targeted by the opponent.

The lack of support on the front line caused Lin Quan to easily fall into an isolated and helpless situation.

The poor condition of his teammates also resulted in no one being able to stand up and share the pressure for him.

Therefore, the opponent's targeting had a very good effect and silenced Manchester City's offensive firepower.

The best way to change this situation is to replace Lin Quan with a forward to share the pressure.

It's just a pity that no one expected Aguero to be injured before the game, so the substitute forward Guardiola brought was not Jovetic, but Isina, who was trained by Manchester City's own youth training and is not yet 19 years old. Joe.

At such a moment and on such an occasion, is it really possible to let a young player under 19 years old play?

Seeing that the game was about to end, and the score on the field was still 0:0, Guardiola gritted his teeth, moved his heart, and replaced Iheanacho on the field.

Iheanacho jumped up from his seat and immediately ran to Guardiola's side, as if listening to advice.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"Listen, Kelechi, go up and rush into the penalty area to help Lin Quan stretch the space. If Lin Quan passes the ball to you, then boldly shoot and help me send the damn ball into the opponent's goal!"

Hearing that Guardiola had given him such an important task as scoring a goal, Iheanacho felt dizzy and seemed to be hit by happiness!
The boss actually thinks so highly of himself that he would replace himself as the savior at this moment?
"Cletch, do you hear me clearly?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be distracted, Guardiola asked in a more serious tone.

"No problem, wrap it on me!"

Iheanacho's self-confidence has already exploded. He feels like he has been given a hundred injections of stimulants. He can no longer hold back and wants to go on the field and use the [-] methods passed down from his ancestors to send the ball into the Crystal Palace goal.

"Well, let's go!"

Guardiola patted him on the shoulder and sent him on to the field.

Manchester City's substitution at the last moment caught the attention of the Crystal Palace people, but when they saw that the person who was replaced was just a little-known young player, they suddenly felt contempt in their hearts.

"Haha, Guardiola is in a hurry and has to seek medical attention. Even Lin Quan can't break the goal. How can such a young player be able to break it?"

"I think he is planning to give up, so he acts as a doctor, thinking that stacking forwards in the frontcourt can change the situation. This is too naive!"

"Haha, I've heard about Guardiola's reputation for a long time. When I see him today, I can't stand it!"

The fans of Crystal Palace are already swollen to no limit at this time!

What a bullshit Premier League hegemon, what a bullshit Champions League champion, they won’t work in front of our Crystal Palace.

So what if your Manchester City worth is high?

So what if there are more stars in the team?
Isn’t it also impossible to score our goal?
We at Crystal Palace are invincible!
As if to confirm what Crystal Palace fans were thinking, Iheanacho made a mistake with his first touch of the ball after coming on the field.

He failed to form a tacit understanding with his teammates. When his teammates passed the ball to him, he made a mistake in stopping the ball due to lack of preparation. He was successfully intercepted by a Crystal Palace player and almost started a counterattack on the spot.

Fortunately, Kanter appeared in time and completed the counterattack, thus resolving the crisis in time.

"Concentrate and don't let your mind wander!"

When retreating to catch the ball, Lin Quan passed by Iheanacho and gave him a reminder.

"Okay, boss!"

Iheanacho nodded heavily. Although he was a little embarrassed by the mistake just now, he quickly put it behind him.

He fantasizes about being the team's savior, running and pulling very hard in the frontcourt, trying to find space.

Although the Crystal Palace players despised him in their hearts, they did not dare to leave the opponent alone, so his seemingly random running around actually had a certain effect.

At least when Lin Quan dribbled the ball again, there were fewer defensive players coming to double-team him.

good chance!
The opponent reduced the number of troops outflanking him, allowing Lin Quan to see the opportunity for a breakthrough.

So when De Bruyne was leaning towards him, he pretended to pass the ball to De Bruyne, but when the opponent relaxed his vigilance, he turned around with a spike and wiped out the No. 1 defensive player.

The player No. 2 double-teamed saw Lin Quan pass his teammate, and in a hurry, he subconsciously stretched his foot to intercept, trying to intercept the ball.

However, Lin Quan's foot frequency was much faster than he expected. It was obviously him who took the first step, but the football was not broken by him as he thought. Instead, it was taken away by Lin Quan, a fried ball, and then one person.

The third person also rushed over at this time, but he had no teammates around him to assist him, so he could only defend Lin Quan one-on-one.

In football, some defenders who suffered losses at the hands of Lin Quan learned a lesson: Don't try to challenge Lin Quan in a one-on-one!
If you fight him one on one, you will end badly!The Crystal Palace player may know this, but he has no choice at this time.

He can only block as much as possible before he is passed, creating conditions for his teammates to make up defense.

However, Lin Quan only used two extremely fast spikes and changes of direction to get past him.

However, the defender's efforts still paid off. In order to get past the opponent's defender, Lin Quan took a diagonal line when dribbling the ball into the penalty area. At this time, his position was already close to the bottom line near the goal. The shooting angle is very small.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper McCarthy had also blocked the near corner at this time, blocking almost all Lin Quan's shooting angles.

In this case, unless Lin Quan learns Tiger shooting and even drives the ball into the goalkeeper, it is impossible for his shot to get past McCarthy.

However, football has never been an individual sport, but a team sport.

When Lin Quan broke through with the ball, Iheanacho kept Guardiola's instructions in mind and worked hard to move and pull.

The opponent invested so many troops to encircle and suppress Lin Quan, but the result was that Iheanacho was left undefended - he was left open!
As long as you can get the ball into the goal, what does it matter if you score it yourself?

When Lin Quan, the goalkeeper of Crystal Palace, rushed toward him with all his teeth and claws, he immediately passed the ball back to the open Iheanacho in an inverted triangle.

Iheanacho watched Lin Quan passing the opponent's players one after another at close range. All he could think about was how awesome Lin was, but he suddenly saw Lin passing the ball to him.

Before his mind could react, his body seemed to have a conditioned reflex and subconsciously stretched his legs to complete a kick.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and the football flew high into the sky and quickly flew into the Crystal Palace goal.

The quality of this kick is not high, and the height is obviously high.

But fortunately, Iheanacho was relatively close to the goal when he shot. Otherwise, the ball might have been fired by an anti-aircraft gun.

When Guardiola on the sidelines saw Iheanacho's shot, his heart was almost scared out of his chest.

This damn guy, at such a close distance, the goal is still empty, can't you just use push shot?

If you insist on a kick, it will be too high!

Fortunately, the ball finally went in. If it hadn't, he would have had to give Iheanacho a two-hour lesson with a hair dryer.

When Iheanacho scored, Crystal Palace's home court was silent.

The fans were all dumbfounded!

They never expected that the last goal scorer would be the unknown person they looked down upon!

Iheanacho himself did not expect that the goal would come so easily. The script he imagined in his mind was to be like Lin Quan, defeating six generals through five levels, single-handedly destroying the opponent's entire defense, and then scoring in a cool and unrestrained manner. Send the ball into the opponent's goal.

Although the process is a little different, the end result is still the same.

So, he followed the way he had planned to celebrate before, putting his palms next to his ears, running towards the sidelines, and asking for applause from the fans in the stands.

However, this silly boy didn't know if he had bad eyesight. He ran to the wrong fans' stand and ran under the stands where Crystal Palace fans gathered.

So, what greeted him was not a roaring tsunami of cheers and applause, but a sky-wide boo and a rain of coins and lighters.

Crystal Palace fans thought this guy was here to provoke them. Some angry fans even climbed over the railings and rushed onto the court to beat him.

Iheanacho was startled, ran back to the court, and celebrated with his teammates heartlessly.

"Good boy, your last kick almost killed the ball!"

Captain Kompany rubbed Iheanacho's head dotingly and said to him with a smile.

As the captain and veteran, Kompany was extremely pleased to see such outstanding young people emerging from the team's own youth training camp.

Kompany came to Manchester City at the age of 22 and has played for Manchester City for 8 years so far. He is one of the oldest players in the Manchester City team.

When he first arrived, Manchester City was just a very ordinary mid-to-lower team with almost nothing.

But now, Manchester City has held three Premier League championships and two Champions League championships, and is the most successful club in Europe in the past five years.

A Manchester City dynasty is gradually taking shape thanks to the hard work of these players.

But there is an iron camp and flowing soldiers.

Kompany is about to turn 30, and he may not be able to play for Manchester City for too long.

One day, these veterans will leave Manchester City, either retire here, or leave the team to live their lives elsewhere.

After they leave, the team needs young people to step up and take their place.

Therefore, Kompany appreciates and takes care of these young people in the team very much.

He hopes that these people can thrive in Manchester City, carry the banner of Manchester City in the future, and lead Manchester City to achieve greater glory.

Iheanacho didn't know what Kompany was thinking. He smiled and explained:
"Hehe, before my brain could react at that time, my body had already taken action."

"Then you have to learn more and practice more, and try to perfect your subconscious shooting movements, just like Lin did!"

David Silva, another team veteran on the side, said.

Iheanacho nodded vigorously. Lin Quan was his idol, and learning from his idol was what he dreamed of.

Iheanacho's goal occurred in the second minute of stoppage time. By the time Manchester City's celebration was over, the stoppage time had almost run out.

So when the game restarted, the referee quickly blew the whistle to end the game.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 1:0 in an away game, achieving a perfect start to the league's fifth consecutive victory.

The focus of the fifth round is Manchester United's home match against Liverpool.

Mourinho's team performed well in this game, beating Liverpool 3:1 at home, which not only stopped the team's decline, but also further gained the favor of the Red Devils fans.

In the hearts of Manchester United fans, Liverpool is even a more hateful opponent than Manchester City.

Therefore, the Double Red Club every year is extremely important to Manchester United fans.

On the other side, Arsenal defeated Stoke City 2:0 at home, while Chelsea lost 1:3 away to Everton.

Ranieri's Leicester City staged an earth-shattering reversal at home.

After falling behind 0:2, they scored consecutive goals in the final stages of the second half, and finally defeated Aston Villa with a score of 3:2, leading Manchester United by one point in the standings, with a gap of four points. Ranked No. 2 in the standings!

Being able to stand out among the powerful players, Leicester City's dark horse qualities finally attracted the attention of all parties after this battle.
