Chapter 477 Battle against Manchester City ([-])

Aguero dribbled the ball laterally in front of the penalty area, and the Manchester City fans in the stands seemed to see the Aguero against the "Queens Rangers" in the last round of 2012.

Once a fast and solid player like Aguero flies, it will be difficult for defensive players.

On the one hand, Zhou Dun posted it, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to touch it, because he had already entered the restricted area, and any action was likely to be punished by death.

Aguero kept watching, all fools knew that he was going to shoot, Zhou Dun could only follow the position and not give Aguero too much shooting angle.

In the end, the trick worked. Aguero couldn't get out of the way to shoot from an angle. With a hasty shot, the ball went wide.

In this game, "Pellegrini" sent the strongest lineup.

Goalkeeper - Hart

Defenders - Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov

Defenders—Yaya Toure, Fernandinho

Midfielders - Nasri, Silva, Sterling
Striker - Sergio Aguero
The value of this set of starters is at least 2 million euros or more, and each position is basically top-matched.

Within 5 minutes of the opening, taking advantage of "Dortmund"'s unstable foothold, Manchester City's "Aguero" launched several surprise attacks and used his own speed to cause several threats. However, "Dortmund"'s defense line was very stable and never gave Aguero a good chance to shoot.

In fact, this is also a problem that Manchester City has not been able to solve in recent years, that is, the individual ability is super strong, but the overall cooperation has always been insufficient.

This Klopp has studied, and Manchester City's way of buying people is different from other teams. For example, "Dortmund" first determines the team's overall style of play, and then buys people.However, Manchester City first spent money to buy a bunch of big names, and then told the head coach, use these people well for me.

This is also the biggest reason why Manchester City is big but not strong. In fact, Manchester City also knows it, but the rich boss has no patience. If you ask him to wait 10 years, and then succeed in 20 years, he can't wait at all, so it can only be counterproductive.

After Aguero rushed a few times, slowly, Manchester City's offense slowed down.

Klopp was very steady. The tactics of "Dortmund" were to advance layer by layer. When the ball reached Bender's feet, he handed the ball to Wang Kong.

When the ball reaches this position, "Dortmund" encounters strong resistance in attacking, that is "Yaya Toure".

Côte d'Ivoire's iron waist can be regarded as the spiritual leader of Manchester City. He is very strong. He stretched his long legs and covered Mkhitaryan. The latter was in a hurry and could only distribute the ball to Li Qiao on the left.

The defender here is Sagna. The Frenchman "Sagna" is very characteristic. He is braided and looks very recognizable. More importantly, his defensive ability is really strong, and he is also a French international.

Li Qiao moved the ball forward, but Sania immediately turned around and got stuck in the position. This caught Li Qiao by surprise. Li Qiao originally planned to compete with the opponent's speed, but Sania didn't even give Li Qiao a chance to fight for speed, and directly stuck in the position. This is also the smartest way to defend.

Through this ball, Sania gave Li Qiao a big blow. Sania became famous at Arsenal and is a disciple of Wenger's subordinates. It is not easy for Li Qiao to pass him today.

Take a closer look, Manchester City's defense line is really good, except for "Otamendi" who is slightly worse, everyone else is a world-class player in every position.

"Dortmund" is used to relying on Li Qiao and Royce to solve the problem, but once the two of them can't solve the problem, then "Dortmund" will be patient and find the other side's space.

So the "Dortmund" midfielder is just like an old Chinese doctor, passing the ball from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left, trying to see where the opponent's space is.

After trying for a few minutes, he found that there was no space. At this time, Li Qiao took the initiative to stand up and moved to the middle. Mkhita understood and gave the ball to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao wanted to hit Kompany in the middle!

Some people will ask, is Li Qiao stupid?Kompany is stronger than Sagna, he gave up the easy challenge to the more difficult one?

Yes, this is Li Qiao's character, the more difficult it is, the more he wants to challenge it.

But the Belgian captain is really not in vain. After Li Qiao accelerated and overtook Kompany, Kompany still chased him back and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

Klopp understands that for weak teams, "Dortmund's" unreasonable style of play is effective, but for a team of Manchester City's level, such a strong breakthrough has little effect.

Uncle Zha gestured to Li Qiao and Royce to stop being reckless and cooperate with each other!

*****
Manchester City not only has a strong ability to resist blows, but what is even stronger is that they can also attack every corner and organize a counterattack.

Yaya Toure steals the ball to Nasri, who does not stop the ball to Silva.

Silva made a cross to Aguero in front of him. This is called passing the ball too slowly. Hummels could deal with it calmly. He leaned on Aguero, but unexpectedly Aguero's foot was too solid to squeeze.

Not only that, Hummels used too much force, but staggered under his feet.

Aguero took advantage of the situation to wipe Hummels, and Klopp's heart tightened. Hummels was too careless and violated the taboo of a central defender, that is, rushing too hard.

In this way, we can only look at Weidenfeller and Zhou Dun.

Zhou Dun gestured to Weidenfeller, meaning that I will pounce first, you are in the rear, and Roman stands still.

Zhou Dun saw the ball and made a shovel. Aguero pulled the ball with his feet and avoided the shovel. Just when Aguero was enjoying himself, Weidenfeller was already blocking him.

The advantage of the goalkeeper is that he can use his hands. Seeing that Weidenfeller reached out to catch the ball, Aguero stretched out his foot in desperation, and the ball missed because he was too hasty.

Zhou Dun got up and gave Weidenfeller a high-five, the trick succeeded! !
Then "Dortmund" also made a fast break. Zhou Dun made a direct long pass to find Li Qiao.

"Fuck, it's kind of like Arsenal," thought Joe Hart.

But in fact, it looks a bit like, the heat has not yet arrived, if it is Arsenal, then Royce will not shoot directly, but will give the ball to Aubameyang.

*****
After that, the cooperation of "Dortmund" in the frontcourt became more and more tacit. The effect of practicing once in the game is better than training without confrontation a hundred times. After 20 minutes of cooperation, finally at 25 minutes in the first half, "Dortmund"'s offense blossomed.

Aubameyang leaned on Kompany and made it back to Li Qiao in the penalty area. Li Qiao followed up with a volley, and Otamendi came up to block the eye-catching, but unexpectedly, Li Qiao didn't shoot, but made a false shot and passed the ball to Royce on the right.

Royce made another false shot and made a real pass, tricking Kolarov who was defending here, and then passed it back to Li Qiao. Facing Joe Hart, Li Qiao didn't take a shot, and nudged Aubameyang, who pushed the empty goal successfully, 1-0.

This ball is too complicated, the cooperation of the three people is as precise as playing a game, and Manchester City convincingly threw this ball.

Yaya Toure witnessed everything just now from the position of the midfielder. To be honest, he almost applauded "Dortmund". This ball is so wonderful.

Although it was Aubameyang who scored the goal, everyone knows that the credit for the goal was shared equally by three people, especially Li Qiao, who was connected in series in the middle.

After the goal, a large "TiFo" was raised on the Signal Iduna Park Stadium, on which was a picture of the team holding the Champions League Big Ears Cup.

But there is one person who is very calm, and that is Klopp. He pretended to chat with the assistant coach, but in fact he was hiding his smile. He was secretly having fun at this time, but the two rounds are 180 minutes, so he can't be arrogant yet.

*****
Re-kick-off, Silva flicked the ball, Aguero rushed out like an arrow from the string, "Pellegrini" turned his head to one side, feeling helpless, what's the use of fighting alone.

Sure enough, Aguero passed Wang Kong and Bender, but he couldn't pass Zhou Dun. This attack wasted time, energy, and gained nothing.

Pellegrini pointed to Yaya Toure. Nasri and Silva's skills are very good, but against the German team, no physical confrontation is not enough. We can only let "Yaya Toure" participate in the attack.

Yaya Toure suddenly dribbled the ball straight in the midfield. Fans who often watch the Premier League should be familiar with this scene. He often did this in the Premier League.

Wang Kong passed by Yaya Toure's side and didn't go up to hit him at all. Wang Kong reckoned that if he bumped into him, he would be the one who suffered the most. Yaya Toure's body was like playing rugby.

But now Wang Kong's defensive experience has increased, and if he doesn't hit, it doesn't mean he has given up. Wang Kong is behind Yaya Toure, ready to defend Yaya Toure with Bender or Zhou Dun.

Zhou Dun was in front, and Yaya Toure was going to do the same. He was a tank, and Zhou Dun was just a light truck, not of the same level.

Zhou Dun stretched out his left index finger, signaling to Wang Kong to wait and pounce to the left, and then he put all his eggs in one basket to shovel Yaya Tourei.

Sure enough, Yaya Toure flicked the instep of his right foot, ready to pass the ball, but after a closer look, what happened! !
Wang Kong was always behind him ready to go, but Yaya Toure's ball was given to Wang Kong, and when Yaya Toure chased back, Wang Kong had already disposed of the ball.

The angry Yaya Toure jumped, because Aguero had already asked for the ball just now, if he didn't show his strength and passed the ball directly, that would be fine, "Damn", Yaya Toure scolded the French national curse.

Pellegrini finally couldn't sit still. He stood up and yelled at the court, and kept gesticulating. The left hand was inserted into the right hand, and the right hand was inserted into the left hand, which meant that you ran and interspersed with each other.

Old problem, old problem! !

The old problem of Manchester City players not cooperating tacitly committed again. Pellegrini turned his head and shouted at the bench, "You, warm up."

A blond-haired teenager rushed out, everyone looked at it, good guy, isn't he the champion of last summer - the Belgian "De Bruyne"?
