Football: From becoming a god-level striker

Now it's not just the Spanish media's reports, many media in England have also begun to speculate, thinking that Manchester City's backcourt lineup is not worthy of the luxury of the frontcourt, let alone Zhao Gang.

Some media even bluntly said that if Zhao Gang really wants to catch up with and surpass Melo, Manchester City is definitely not a good choice.

Looking at it now, Manchester City's defense is indeed a bit poor.

As the schedule deepens, each team begins to study Manchester City frantically, and this line of defense will become more and more transparent.

There is still one month before the winter window, and Manchester City has already begun to contact Guardiola's favorite candidates.

The owner of Manchester City has never been afraid of spending money. Chelsea, Paris, Real Madrid, and Barcelona may not be better than Manchester City.

Similarly, Manchester City is also taken advantage of in the transfer market, often buying players at a premium, and paying more wages than other clubs.Only in this way can good players be attracted to join.

The reason is, of course, that although the Manchester City team has a long history, it has never had the background of a strong team.

Now, Manchester City has an excellent record and has won several championships in the Premier League. At most, they will be called a strong team. No one will say that Manchester City is a giant.

Without the Premier League champions of the Champions League, what qualifications are there to be called giants?

Zhao Gang is what Guardiola believes, and the core of Manchester City's team building in the future will definitely try their best to keep him.

However, with regard to this defense line, Zhao Gang scored three in front, and they could lose four. How can they go further in the Champions League?

Real Madrid has shown considerable sincerity, and Abramovich has recently been interviewed by the media for the first time, saying how good Zhao Gang is. It must be a wonderful thing to play with Hazard Pedro Costa.

Guardiola knows Zhao Gang very well. He is good in every aspect, but his skin is too thin. When others need him, it is difficult for him to refuse.

Guardiola is worried that facing the sincere Florentino and Abramovich who is eager for talent, he will fall into the troubles of happiness. If there is any variable, if he leaves Manchester City, something big will happen.

So this winter window, there must be heavy signings, even if it costs more money, the defense must be remodeled.

Unlike Guardiola's frowning, Conte has sat firmly on the coach's bench, right, that's right.

Our offense has never been weaker than that of Manchester City, because of the 3421 system, the two full-backs stand forward and can quickly supplement the offense.

This offensive ability is stronger than Manchester City.

The defenders don't get distracted...

Thinking about the defense, Kong Er stood up in a daze, ran to the sidelines aggressively, and yelled at Chelsea's defense personnel.

Stare at me, stare at!

Fabregas, if you make that ridiculous mistake again, don't play!

sell you!

There are wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

Kong Er is a fool, his tactical thinking has always been very advanced, his temper has always been very irritable, and he is extremely stubborn, and no one can change what he thinks.

If the boss doesn't listen to him, it's easy to solve, I resign myself, love whoever!

So when the team's record is very good, everyone is happy, and Conte often has conflicts with the team management.

If Fabregas really makes such a low-level mistake again, he will definitely try to sell him.

Manchester City still took the initiative on the scene, and Chelsea still followed the opening tactics, giving up part of the ball and waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Manchester City's two full-backs are always worried about Chelsea's efficient counterattack, so the number of assists to respond is significantly less.

This relieved the pressure on Chelsea's defense. Cesc Fabregas and Matic cooperated very well. Matic moved a little slowly, but his defensive ability was quite good. As long as he didn't make up the defense, stay in position and cooperate with Fabregas , there will be almost no major problems in the middle.

Zhao Gang wanted to find a breakthrough in the middle several times in a row, but unfortunately the defense line in the middle was too dense, so he had to find a way from the two sides.

Sterling's impact is a good choice, and the retreat of Moses and Alonso has increased the defensive strength of the back line.

Obviously, Zhao Gang's first goal made the Chelsea players understand that Matic and Fabregas in the middle had better not move. Once there is a gap, they will be found.

Chelsea's ability to adjust is very strong, and the addition of two full-backs has made up for the loopholes in the opening.

The Manchester City players are a little anxious, but there is no good way.

After more than ten minutes, Manchester City's two full-backs began to increase their personnel again. They found that there were not enough offensive players. If they want to turn their advantage into a victory, they must increase their offensive players.

Chelsea Costa's restraint made Manchester City's central defender dare not press too high at will, preventing Chelsea from playing a very efficient long pass counterattack.

With Manchester City adding offensive personnel, Chelsea's defense has felt a lot of pressure.

Zhao Gang and Jing Duoan had two shots, which made Chelsea's defense a little bit overwhelmed.

Aguero has tried to attack the goal twice, but the result is not satisfactory. Gundogan also tried to hit the goal from the outside. The threat is good, but it is not close!

Manchester City's offense has been effective. Chelsea's two full-backs retreated too deeply, making it difficult to increase the speed of the counterattack. There is only one Costa left, which is still a bit difficult to do alone.

But Chelsea has never given up on offense.

Especially Hazard and Pedro, the two are in their own half, but they have been waiting for the ball to launch a deadly counterattack.

In the 308th minute of the game, Alonso on the wing finally found the right opportunity, fought with the supporting Kolarov, and poked the ball out with one kick.

Fabregas, who was defending Zhao Gang, saw this opportunity, of course he rushed over immediately, received the ball and turned around, Zhao Gang went over and raised his foot, but did not stop him.

Fabregas found Hazard with a low-to-the-ground pass.

He showed a strange smile at Zhao Gang, I can't guard you, but you can guard me?

Zhao Gang ignored it and quickly retreated.

Manchester City's players, especially Kolarov, ran the most fiercely. He lost the ball, and he had to fight back to defend!

Hazard's speed was too fast, Zhao Gang was too far away from him, and there was still a turning movement, so when Zhao Gang started to chase back, Hazard had already crossed the center line!

Fernandinho tried to make a direct tactical foul, Hazard poked the ball out, and then accelerated again, passing Fernandinho directly.

The entire Stamford Bridge, after waiting for so long, finally cheered wildly again.

You have black lightning, we have fast blue horses!

"Chelsea's high-speed counterattack! Hazard drove straight in with the ball, Moses, Alonso, Pedro and Costa, three lines, four reinforcements.

Manchester City's retreat speed is a bit slow!

Even Zhao Gang can run faster than the full-backs, how can this work? ? Zhan Lu was a little confused, Zhao Gang quickly chased back in the middle, even faster than Kolarov who was sprinting desperately.

On the way, Hazard suddenly changed direction and cut into the middle, directly throwing off Otamendi's supplementary defense.

Now the only Manchester City players in front of him are Stones and Bravo.

And Chelsea and Costa were running around, and Stones was a little confused.

Gundogan's position is not bad, he retreats the fastest, and reinforcements can be in place in just two or three seconds, but how can Hazard give him so much time?

In desperation, Stones had no choice but to give up Costa and pounce on Hazard.

And Costa reacted a little slower, was in an offside position, and waved at Hazard hurriedly, don't pass it, don't pass it!

Stones' supplementary defense slowed down Hazard. He swayed from side to side twice. Stones has quite a lot of experience. He has been retreating and following Hazard without shaking. Once Hazard breaks through forcefully, he will Will quickly squeeze the space.

At this time, Jing Duoan finally rushed back, and Zhao Gang also accelerated all the way, and the reinforcements were about to succeed.

Hazard suddenly made a diagonal pass in the penalty area. Stones had no time to steal the ball. Gundogan gritted his teeth and saw Pedro rushing to him. He accelerated with two steps, fell to the ground and slid towards the football, making a fierce shovel. !

Pedro was extremely fast, was shoveled by Gundogan, and fell heavily on Gundogan.

The two looked pained, while covering their ankles, they rolled on the ground.

The fans at Stamford Bridge rioted instantly, boos everywhere.

The referee and the players from both sides quickly gathered in front of them.

Zhao Gang saw Jing Duoan gritted his teeth in pain, closed his eyes, tears were about to come out, he hurriedly greeted the sidelines.

Physician, Physician here!

Pedro covered his feet, rolled twice, grinned, and beat the lawn vigorously, obviously in great pain.

The team doctors of the two teams came quickly, and the two head coaches stood on the sidelines, watching the two men on the field worriedly.

"This... Pedro avoided Gundogan's tackle and stepped directly on Gundogan's ankle... ouch..." Zhan Lu felt his heart twitch when he saw it.

"Gundoan missed the ball, this one! This one is not only injured, but also very likely to be a penalty..."

The Manchester City commentator was stupid. If Gundogan was injured and couldn't hold on, and was awarded a penalty, it would be worse.

"The team doctor's gesture is a stretcher...Substitution! Gundogan's injury is not clear yet, but this game will definitely not last. This has a great impact on Manchester City. Only Fernando is still reliable in this position. , but Gundogan’s ability to play the ball and attack is irreparable. Manchester City now needs not only defense, but also offense! Fernando may not be able to replace in offense... Oops, it’s still a penalty! This..." Isn't this the end of it?
