Chapter 62 The roar of the beast!
Chapter 62 The roar of the "wild beast"!
Simon Grayson's adjustment idea was still correct, and the effect was immediate. When Jonny Hausen and Bentley retreated to limit Nasri and David Silva's performance, Manchester City's smooth offense became stuck.
"The tactics of Leeds United have changed. The midfielders Jonny and Bentley, who were originally focused on offense, retreated to help defend. This effect is still good. Now it seems that Leeds United has begun to stabilize their position. I have to say that although their ability to predict the opponent's tactics is not enough, Simon Grayson's front-end command is still possible. Now David Silva and Nasri are all restricted, and the ones who are following Aguero are our rising star Shaq! Ha, I think everyone is just like me and want to know who will win against Aguero?"
After seeing that his team's offense was no longer as smooth as before and could not threaten Leeds United's goal, Mancini sat off the court and frowned. He didn't even think about attacking through "KUN" Aguero. At that time, Aguero was placed behind Dzeko in the middle, in order to use his flexible running position to restrain Zach Thompson while also having the opportunity to help his team's offense. But now... this idea seems to need to be adjusted.
After the European Cup in the summer, Zach Thompson became famous all the time. Now he is a well-known star, especially when he is playing for the England team, he can solve the problem of "double Germany" well, and he is very strong on the court. His running distance is not less than 10,000 meters in every game, and he basically doesn't make any news on weekdays. How could such a hardworking and low-key young man not win the likes of fans?
Besides, "Shake"'s defensive ability as an iron waist is still recognized by everyone. Even Manchester City fans are not optimistic about the confrontation between Aguero and Zach Thompson. After all, after ten minutes of the game, Aguero did not even have the chance to touch the ball except for that shot.
Just as Mancini was thinking about countermeasures, the storm on the court suddenly changed. Leeds United attacked from the left again, but this time Jonny Hausen did not choose to dribble the ball to attack Manchester City's defense line. Instead, after attracting Serner, he suddenly sent the ball to the left. Defender Ben Parker rushed out from behind like a gust of wind, and rushed the ball towards the bottom line.
Ben Parker was secretly happy while running: Shaq was indeed not wrong, and my condition is indeed more suitable for assists today!
Just before the game started, Zach Thompson grabbed Ben Parker, and he encouraged his friends to try more in the back row of the wing in this game so that he could use his assists in the game.
Ben Parker was quite hesitant at first. After all, the task assigned by the head coach was to guard the left path to prevent Manchester City from breaking through here. However, when he saw that his team's offense was suppressed under the opponent's strong attack power, Ben Parker chose to obey Zach Thompson's arrangements. Unexpectedly, his first attack was successful.
After the European Cup, Zach Thompson's teammates' bonus skill points reached 17 points. After adding explosive power and pass to Jonny Hausen, there were 8 points left. Then he used Ben Parker. As a result, Ben Parker's explosive power reached full value, his crossing ability was also improved to 19 points. Zach Thompson believes that if this happens, Ben Parker will have a great chance of gaining an assist in this game!
However, even if Ben Parker gets secret help from Zach Thompson, it is not so easy for him to easily break through Manchester City's No. 33 Serner's defense. The 30-year-old Croatian international has extremely rich game experience. He has played 98 games for the Croatian national team and has scored 19 goals with his super personal ability. Although he is not so evident, he is definitely among the top ten in the world in the right back position.
Ben Parker's assault only advanced fifteen meters, and was resisted on the sideline of Manchester City's penalty area, and Serner had already blocked him!
At the critical moment, a white figure running over from the corner of Ben Parker's eyes immediately stopped!
"Bang!"
Ben Parker's movements were very flexible and fast, and a cross passed the ball to the tall Ameobi's feet.
Serner turned around and took a look, but Ben Parker had started again and rushed to the bottom line, and Ameobi also pushed the ball out just right...
This time, Serner is really too late to make a comeback!
Even though Serner immediately turned around to chase Ben Parker, Ben Parker did not dribble the ball at all, but instead made a cross after catching up with the ball!
"Bang!"
Ben Parker kicked a curve ball through a cross. When the ball flew to Manchester City's goal, Zach Thompson appeared in front of Johart!
"ah!"
Seeing Zach Thompson rushing up, Joe Hart's heart trembled. When he was in the England national team, he had fully realized the heading ability of "Shaq". This kid's physical condition is so good. His ability to compete for heading is really not ordinary. Although he is still a little worse in predicting and positioning than Terry and Ferdinand, "Shaq's super jumping power makes it easier for him to complete the heading action when attacking.
Subconsciously, Joe Hart slowed down his attack a little, and his body also prepared to pounce Zach Thompson on the header...
"Swoosh!"
Just as Zach Thompson was about to hit the ball, he suddenly shrank his neck and gave the ball over his head!
Just like Joe Hart knows Zach Thompson, Zach Thompson also knows this young English goalkeeper. Joe Hart's big-foot ball and hand-to-ball throwing ability are not very good. His prediction ability and career are also relatively ordinary, but his reaction ability is very good. Often, some shots that seem difficult to save are blocked under the influence of Joe Hart's sensitive reflex nerves.
So this time, when Zach Thompson rushed up, he saw Tevez also crossing the back point, so he just deliberately missed the ball!
Bochetti's attention was restrained by Snold Grace, while Kompany and Krish were restrained by Zach Thompson. Although Manchester City did not value Leeds United's opponent before the game, they still attached great importance to individual Leeds United players, especially with the three England internationals, Joe Hart, Richards and Milner, they still value Zach Thompson very much. Although Captain Kompany mainly defended Ameobi, he also had to take on the defensive task of preventing "Shake" from suddenly entering.
At this time, Yaya Toure and De Jong both had just retreated to their own penalty area.
So Teves was empty!
A "wild beast" with no one around him defends is very terrible!
Especially now Tevez is still full of hatred for Manchester City. He has been holding back his energy in this game and wants to score goals. Now he has finally waited for the opportunity, how could he miss it?
Although he didn't expect Zach Thompson to suddenly leak the ball, when the ball suddenly fell in front of him, Tevez still responded quickly!
The most correct reaction a world-class striker should have...shot!
"Bang!"
Teves' shooting move was very simple. Even because the ball came too suddenly, he didn't have time to exert force. He just pushed the ball out with his foot arch. However, a world-class forward like "Beast", even if he completed the shot in a hurry, was still very threatening because he controlled the angle of the shooting very well... the lower right corner of the Manchester City goal!
After being shaken by Zach Thompson, Johart turned his body and moved over, but was blocked by Krish in front of him. Then when he saw the ball again, the ball was already rolling towards the dead corner of the lower right corner of his goal.
"Um--"
Johart fell to the ground quickly, and even the pain from his body made him groan, but his left hand still couldn't touch the ball...
Well!
The ball entered!?
As the ball slowly rolled across the goal line, Wembley Stadium seemed to have suffocated for a moment. No one could believe what their eyes saw. This ball... This ball actually entered!?
Manchester City fans don’t believe what they see, but the few Leeds United supporters were too surprised. Their team was crushed into that virtue. Why did they suddenly score a goal?
The first thing I realized was of course the referee on duty. Howard Webber, the referee who has the highest level in the English football field and is most trusted by the English Football Association in recent years, made a gesture very conscientiously, and his finger pointed to the center circle... The goal was valid!
After seeing Howard Webber's gesture, the evil fire in Teves's heart suddenly burst out...
"ah------"
Roaring angrily!
Teves rushed to the camera behind the goal, grabbed the yellow Leeds United team logo on his chest, and kept poking his fingers...
"Did you see it? Did you see it!? Have you seen it!"
Teves looked angry, and his face, which was not very handsome, became ferocious...
"In the 14th minute of the game, Carlos Tevez scored! This is his first goal after leaving Manchester City to join Leeds United, and he also happened to break the goal of his old club Manchester City! This is a revenge! Perfect revenge!"
Of course, Tevez has reason to vent his dissatisfaction. After leaving Manchester United, he joined the city's archenemy "Blue Moon". He has played for Manchester City for three seasons. In the first year, he played 42 games for Manchester City and scored 29 goals in 39 games in the second year. Although he only played 14 games last season due to tension with Mancini, he also contributed to Manchester City's championship. He is worthy of the salary paid to him by Manchester City.
However, such an outstanding, professional world-class striker was eventually sold out because of his tense relationship with head coach Mancini. In order to sell Tevez, Mancini accepted the Leeds United's down payment of only 6 million pounds, which shows his determination to drive Tevez away.
But at this moment, Mancini, who had no expression on his face, still felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have accepted the offer from domestic teams in England at the time. Even the offer from Juventus, Inter Milan, even AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Naples and other teams was higher than that of Leeds United. If he wasn't anxious at that time, why should he endure the feeling of eating a fly now?
