Chapter 919： It's all Su Dong's fault

Three days after playing Dortmund, the team went south to London and challenged Fulham away.

This is the fifth round of the Premier League this season.

Although Courtois’ outstanding performance has won unanimous praise after finishing Dortmund, Guardiola and Bergeristan have decided after research to let Joe Hart start this game.

On the one hand, it is for rotation, and on the other hand, it is also to appease players and fans.

In any case, Joe Hart is England's national goal, a few games decided that he loses the main position, it is a bit unreasonable, and the mood of the local fans is also the team's key consideration.

After communication and coordination, it was finally decided to let Joe Hart start.

After the UEFA Champions League game against Dortmund, the team was very exhausted, so Guardiola decided to carry out a vigorous rotation in this game, and even eliminated Hazard, Dzeko and Aguero in the frontcourt. The trident combination put Douglas Costa on the bench.

Also sitting on the bench is Su Dong, who performed well in the game against Dortmund, and this is a rotation.

At Craven Farm, Manchester City still insisted on a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Joe Hart, the defensive lines are Leighton Bynes, Harvey Martinez, David Luiz and Sabaletta, the midfielder is Busquets behind, Moutinho and Tony Cross came forward, and the trident in the front court was a combination of Hazard, Dzeko and Aguero.

Tony Kroos is very reused by Guardiola and has played many times in a row. This also makes people see that Guardiola relies heavily on the German midfielder, and Tony Kroos’s performance has become more and more stable. Become an indispensable and important passer in the Manchester City team.

According to media statistics, Tony Kroos and Busquets are the players with the most passes and the highest success rate in the Premier League this season. Even in the five major leagues, they only lost to Barcelona’s Xavi and Iniesta. Similar to Messi.

...

Su Dong sat on the bench of the visiting team, watching the game intently, analyzing the situation of the enemy and us.

Manchester City pressed heavily from the beginning, suppressing Fulham, relying on skilful passing and controlling, firmly locked the initiative of the game, and frequently created threats, creating several consecutive attacks into the large penalty area. Shot chance.

The home team Fulham did not complete the first shot until the fifteenth minute, a long shot from the left side of the penalty area.

Joe Hart acted very steadily this time, catching the ball firmly.

Just two minutes later, Tony Kroos sent a through ball from the front of the penalty area. Moutinho pushed to the right near the penalty spot. Aguero ran out of neutral and formed a single shot after receiving the ball. First record.

One to zero!

Su Dong, together with all the bench players, stood up from their seats and applauded Aguero's goal.

Since joining Manchester City, Aguero has scored a lot of goals, and his efficiency is even higher than when he was at Atletico Madrid. His performance is also stronger, which makes him win more and more recognition.

His old father-in-law, Maradona, said that Aguero has received more support in Manchester City, but he has to stay below Su Dong. The implication is somewhat playful. It should be his own. The son-in-law is no worse than Su Dong.

For this matter, Aguero also explained a few words to Su Dong in private, but Su Dong didn't care about it.

For Aguero, Su Dong still appreciates it very much.

Who makes them both have a good friend in common?

...

After the goal, Fulham once tried to counterattack.

Martin Jol is a Dutch referee and he is more inclined to attack.

But Manchester City quickly passed a quick counterattack. After Hazard took the ball on the left, he broke through forcibly, attracting the attention of two defensive players, and then passed it to Leiden Bynes, who was inserted later. Shot from a long distance, slightly higher than the goal.

Did not score, but knocking the mountain shocked the tiger, still scared Fulham into a cold sweat.

Manchester City continued to stabilize the situation, adopt high-pressure tactics against Fulham, frequently exert pressure and create threats.

Fulham is under heavy pressure, although quite embarrassed, but also patiently waiting for the opportunity to launch a counterattack, but more can only threaten Manchester City's goal through long shots.

Joe Hart's performance tonight was relatively stable, and he did not give his opponent a chance and made no mistakes.

In the first half, Manchester City took the lead one to zero.

After the intermission, the second half changed sides to fight again. In just ten minutes, the ball returned to the backcourt after the frontcourt kick-off. Harvey Martinez moved to the left and Leiden Bynes gave a long pass. Co ferryed the header and gave it to Aguero. After the Argentinian unloaded the ball, he rushed to the outside of the penalty area and suddenly kicked and cold shot.

This kick shot was fast and urgent. Although goalkeeper Schwarzer made a save, but failed to stop it, the ball went into the net.

Two to zero!

...

After scoring two goals, everyone basically believes that Manchester City is the overall situation.

Even Pep Guardiola is signalling the players on the field to be a little more stable. On the contrary, Fulham is more open when behind two goals, frequently instigates counterattacks, and is more determined in the counterattack.

This is basically in line with the characteristics of a Premier League team.

An away game can be lost, but at home, especially in front of home fans, you must show aggressiveness and desire to win anyway. Otherwise, how to persuade home fans to continue buying tickets to support?

With Fulham's growing counterattack, Manchester City declared a goal in the 55th minute.

After a steal in the backcourt, Dembele and Dempsey two players passed in a row, tearing the Manchester City's defense line, Zamora blocked Harvey Martinez in the penalty area with his body, and turned around and forced his foot. Hit the goal and scored a goal for Fulham.

One to two!

This goal can be said to have played Fulham's morale.

Just two minutes later, there was another long pass in the middle circle, and Dempsey hit the penalty area at high speed, intending to kick the ball directly.

At the critical moment, Sabaletta, wearing the captain's armband on the field, returned to defense in time, blocked Dempsey's shot and resolved a crisis.

But then Fulham played more and more vigorously, frequently launched counterattacks, the players were also affected, and the performance became more active, which made Manchester City's passing ball start to make mistakes, and Fulham launched a counterattack again and again.

Guardiola made a decisive substitution, replacing Moutinho with Gareth Barry, obviously also wanting to strengthen the defensive force of the midfield and contain Fulham's counterattack as soon as possible.

But in the 68th minute, it was Occasionally, Sidwell made a pass. Murphy shot directly from the outside of the penalty area. When the ball flew into the penalty area, it hit David Luiz’s leg and made a collision. Manchester City's goal.

Joe Hart was dumbfounded on the goal line.

Ma Dan, even this works?

The referee immediately blew his whistle to signal that the goal was effective, but it was not an own goal, but Murphy scored a long shot.

Now Manchester City is in an awkward situation.

Joe Hart was so depressed that he could hardly take down the goal in front of him.

His performance tonight is not bad, it can even be said to be quite good, but he was scored in the end, and he scored two.

Nima, can't you wait to bully people like this?

He is now at the critical moment of competing with Courtois for the main goalkeeper, and he is playing this kind of game at this time?

It's like God is joking with him!

...

Su Dong was on the sidelines, watching the team lead from two to zero and was chased by Fulham for two goals.

Joe Hart cannot be blamed for these two goals.

The first problem with scoring is that Harvey Martinez is not a central defender. When a midfielder is defensive, he has a different perspective from that of a central defender because he has a defender behind him.

But the central defender was different. It was very terrible to be turned around by the opponent and kicked directly.

Harvey Martinez’s defensive habit caused the first goal to be conceded. This is really to blame, but Guardiola can only be blamed. Why should Harvey Martinez play as a central defender?

As for the second goal, it is purely a matter of luck.

Sometimes football matches are like this.

It’s like Murphy’s long shot. If David Luiz doesn’t block or touch it, he may not be able to make it. But it is David Luiz’s touch that causes the ball to change direction. So the ball is scored.

Su Dong saw that Guardiola was obviously very depressed and shook his head with anger on the sidelines, obviously also very dissatisfied with the result.

It's the same for everyone, from two to zero to two to two, who can accept it?

Perhaps the happiest thing is the tens of thousands of fans on the scene, as well as the people of Fulham.

Even, they played more vigorously, as if they were going to reverse Manchester City on the spot.

Especially in the seventy-fourth minute, Murphy's back was plugged in again, and after a false shot from the outside of the penalty area, he suddenly passed the penalty area and assisted Rise to kick in the penalty area, but slightly higher.

Fulham is really playing more and more vigorously, Manchester City is a little flustered.

Guardiola finally lost his breath, and immediately made substitution adjustments.

...

"Su, we need you!"

Guardiola came to the bench with a stern face and shouted to Su Dong.

The noise at the scene was too loud. If he did not shout loudly, he was afraid that Su Dong would not be able to hear it.

Su Dong stood up from the bench, nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

After speaking Su Dong ran out to warm up for a while, then ran back to the coaching bench.

At this time, Fulham coach Martin Jol has noticed the movement on Manchester City, especially seeing Su Dong warming up, he immediately reminded his players to pay attention, especially Hangeland.

But he still seemed a little worried, and immediately looked to the bench.

At this moment, the Swiss defender Felipe Senderos, who was loaned from Arsenal this summer, was sitting on the bench, and he was shaking when he noticed the head coach's eyes.

Especially when he felt Martin Jol's hot eyes, he could not help but looked at him.

Martin Jol met with a helpless sigh.

How could a Zhongwei embryo who had been so good back then was so mentally overshadowed by Su Dong's abuse?

What a tragic and tragic story!
