Chapter 854： Absolutely a blind spot!

On March 13th, in the FA Cup quarter-finals knockout, Manchester City played against Reading at home.

Due to the expedition to Kiev, Ukraine just in the middle of the week, in this game, Guardiola arranged the lineup in a rotation situation, resulting in the team's delay in opening the field.

Until the 76th minute of the second half, Pepe relied on a corner kick to beat his opponent's header and scored the only goal for Manchester City to help the team advance to the FA Cup semi-finals.

After the game, after a draw, Manchester City will host Arsenal in the semifinals.

This is the humiliating 9-to-1 match between the two teams, Manchester City and the Gunners have met again.

Both Manchester City fans and the British media have given high praise to Manchester City's entry into the FA Cup semi-finals.

This is the first time Manchester City have reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 30 years, and the last time can be traced back to 1981.

In that year, under the leadership of head coach John Bond, Manchester City defeated Ipswich in the semifinals and advanced to the final, but lost to Tottenham in the final two to three. Thorn, missed the championship.

This also makes countless Manchester City fans regret it.

In the following thirty years, Manchester City has never reached the FA Cup semi-finals. From this point, it is not difficult to see how weak Manchester City's background is.

But precisely because of this, Manchester City once again reached the FA Cup semi-finals this season. It immediately aroused the intense attention of fans and the media. Countless Manchester City fans have called for the team to stick to the end and be in the FA Cup. Make a difference.

Manchester City have been there for many, many years and have never tasted the joy of championship.

The last championship of Blue Moon was the League Cup, and that was already in 1976.

Although he won the Champions League in 2002, it is not convincing that this is the second-tier league champion.

This season, Manchester City finally showed the temperament of a strong team, moving head-to-head on three lines, giving people hope.

...

...

On the evening of the 17th, Manchester Etihad Stadium.

In the second round of the Europa League knockout round, Manchester City played home against Dynamo Kyiv.

In the first leg in Kiev, Manchester City was an expedition away, traveling long distances, and the team performed poorly.

But now, Blue Moon is sitting at home, but it is the Dynamo Kyiv expedition. Under this trend, Manchester City can be said to have the advantage, and Guardiola's game strategy is also quite active.

"I hope the team will secure the victory from the first minute and don't give the opponent any chance!"

The players also basically fulfilled the coach's tactical intentions, grabbing the ball from the beginning, and preemptively controlling the situation and rhythm.

Dynamo Kyiv is also very aware of their situation. They have no advantage in the away game and can only defend and counterattack.

But in the fourth minute, Manchester City played a beautiful match. David Silva received a straight pass from Thiago and passed it diagonally to the right side of the penalty area. Sanchez stopped the ball and made a low pass to the goal.

Su Dong rushed through the two centre-backs of Dynamo Kyiv and easily opened the goal for Manchester City.

This goal made Dynamo Kyiv completely passive.

In the case of one to one in the first leg, Su Dong's goal allowed Manchester City to seize the advantage.

But Dynamo Kyiv is a traditional European team. Even when the situation is lagging behind, it still organizes a tight defense. It does not become restless, but patiently looks for opportunities.

Manchester City controlled the ball and the game, but never found a good opportunity to score.

Until the 39th minute of the game, David Silva was fouled while dribbling the ball on the left, winning a free kick for Manchester City.

But the position of the ball is too far off.

…

Su Dong stood behind the penalty spot, looked at the angle and the opponent's wall, and shook his head.

"Not sure? I remember that in training, you took a free kick from this angle, and the accuracy was not bad." David Silva said quite unexpectedly.

Su Dong also practiced free kicks on weekdays. He has practiced in every position and different angle. This is the reason why the free kick skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.

But Su Dong still shook his head, "Their players are a bit tall, and they are too biased, I'm afraid I can't hold them down."

David Silva understood what Su Dong meant.

Sometimes he really thinks, is Su Dong too conservative?

Of course, this is not a bad thing, but he never fought uncertain battles, so that when he was in Valencia that year, Benitez told him to let him wave as much as possible, kick more shots, don’t have to What a psychological burden.

But after so many years, Su Dong has not improved much.

Sometimes David Silva really feels that if Sue Tung has half of Ronnie’s wave strength, he will definitely be able to score a higher level, not to mention anything else, use his foot strength and footwork, just kick it. , The possibility of scoring is very high.

But Su Dong has a strange temperament. He is a perfectionist, and he rushes to the dead corner with every shot.

Didn’t someone say that Su Dong alone raised the aesthetics of football fans all over the world?

In the past, other people could not score a few wonderful goals in their lives, and Su Dong was scoring every day.

Even, most of his goals are placed in other professional players, which are the level of the top ten goals of his career. The shots are too tricky, but the goals are also too good to watch.

But there are also depressions, just like now, David Silva feels that Su Dong should kick his feet, just like in training.

Su Dong pondered the wall for a while, still shook his head, but approached David Silva again, and murmured a few words in front of him.

David Silva, who was not lost just now, suddenly shined.

"Is this all right?" The Spanish midfielder was excited.

Su Dong smiled and nodded, "Don't you know if you try?"

It seems that he is quite sure.

Of course David Silva would not refuse, and immediately ran to find Marcelo.

Su Dong quickly walked away.

"It seems that Su Dong is not very sure about the free kick in this position. He has already walked away and does not intend to take the free kick. Instead, he walked to the middle of the penalty area, to the right of the penalty spot. It looks like we are going to grab some points."

"Marcelo came up to take the penalty, and David Silva also left the penalty spot and ran to the side of the wall."

"This should be an indirect free kick. A pass from the left to the penalty area and find your teammate."

"Dynamo Kyiv's wall has been set up, let's see how Manchester City will cooperate with free kicks this time."

With the referee's whistle, Marcelo immediately ran forward, seeming to be going to pass directly, which immediately caused chaos in Dynamo Kyiv's penalty area.

What surprised everyone was that Marcelo did not pass directly, but suddenly pushed the ball laterally and passed it to David Silva on the right side of the wall. The Spanish midfielder quickly rushed to the big On the left side of the front of the penalty area, the ball is stopped with a foot.

To say that David Silva's footwork is really very delicate, this stop, the ball is really very obedient, and gently stopped in the direction of the top of the arc, and at this time, all the talents suddenly realized that this It is a tactical free kick coordination.

Su Dong, who didn't know when he ran over, suddenly appeared in the top area of ​​the arc, ran across to the left side, facing David Silva's pass, and quickly kicked a curve ball with his left foot.

As Dynamo Kyiv put up a wall in the left corner of the penalty area, and the ball was passed to the right, the goalkeeper Shovkowski and the defensive players in the penalty area were all focused on the center and right.

Who would have thought that Su Dong suddenly came out, kicked a curve ball with his left foot, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Shovkowski was all moving to the middle, there was no way to adjust the center of gravity in time to save, he could only watch the ball drill into the upper left corner of the goal!

This is a dead end in an absolute sense!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Man City is another city, two to zero!"

"Su Dong scored twice and Manchester City staged a very imaginative tactical free kick match."

After Su Dong kicked the arc to shoot, he knew in his heart that the ball was a good ten.

When the ball hit the net, he raised his hands high and rushed to the side of the court. But just halfway through, he was hugged by David Silva and Marcelo, and they stopped him alive. In the stadium.

Marcelo even grabbed his left hand, not allowing him to complete the celebration of the kiss ring.

"Don't kiss, most readers say aesthetic fatigue!"

"Every time you score a goal, you kiss the ring. UU reading is not annoying, you have to consider other people's feelings!"

Su Dong said that he was speechless.

Can't I celebrate after I scored a goal?

If you really want to talk about aesthetic fatigue, then I can't help it. Who makes me score more goals?

If you want to play on the court every time you score, as Tony Cross said, how many brain cells would have to kill me?

No matter how hard Marcelo and David Silva were, Su Dong finally broke free from the entanglement of these two scumbags and kissed the ring on his left hand in front of the live broadcast.

Only then did he complete the process of scoring a goal celebration, cool!

On the contrary, it was Marcelo and David Silva, they were speechless, only a long sigh.

Isn't this guy a mouse?

Why are you so stubborn that you can't hold back life and death?

…

Manchester City eventually defeated Dynamo Kyiv 2-0 at home, and finally advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 3-1.

Shevchenko said in an interview with the media after the game that he believes Manchester City is the number one favorite to win the UEFA Cup this season.

"Su Dong will be able to lead Manchester City to the end!"

Shevchenko's demeanor can be seen by being able to speak up even after being eliminated.

Manchester City's promotion also won unanimous praise.

First the FA Cup, now the Europa League, coupled with the domestic Premier League leading all the way, these have made Manchester City's performance win everyone's approval, and many people even think that Manchester City is fully capable of attacking three champions at the same time. .

Su Dong said, "Don't make a choice. The slogan you all want has won the support of fans and the media."
