MTL - Strong Waist-Chapter 972 Sterling comes on
Chapter 972 Sterling enters the field
"Arsenal! They scored two goals in the first half, and they pushed Manchester City into a desperate situation!"
"Before the game, no one thought that Arsenal could play such a smooth game. With two counterattacks, Arsenal scored two goals in a row within 15 minutes!"
"This is a huge blow to Manchester City. Arsenal's performance completely broke their plan! Everything planned!"
"Guardiola needs to make some changes, Manchester City can no longer be so passive!"
Andy Gray lamented Arsenal's performance in this game, and also reminded Manchester City that they need to make some changes.
If this rhythm has been maintained, then for Manchester City, the only thing left for them is failure.
Arsenal played too well.
Needless to say in terms of defense, his counterattack performance is also extremely good.
It can be said that the first 35 minutes of the game were almost Arsenal's highlight moments.
In contrast, Manchester City's performance in this game has become extremely passive.
"Manchester City has a problem with the possession of the ball on the central axis. No one dares to enter this area. Even if they enter, it may end like Kyle Walker. Of course, if it is a midfielder, it may still have a certain We have to say that Kyle Walker is a little too anxious!"
"But this is also reasonable. After all, the situation of Manchester City is uncomfortable for anyone to watch. As a member of the game, Kyle Walker must be more anxious than us!"
"This also just shows the problem of Manchester City. They need to arrange a few more ball-holding points in the frontcourt!"
"At least from the current performance, whether it is the performance of Sane or Bernardo Silva, the two wingers are not qualified.
Guardiola was also standing on the sidelines at this time, with Sterling standing beside him.
Obviously, Guardiola couldn't sit still at this time.
It was not a good time to make substitutions in the first half, but Guardiola and Manchester City could not get the second half at this time. Once Arsenal played a better situation, they would have no chance to recover.
Be sure to recover a ball!
Before the end of the first half, be sure to get a goal back.
This is the task Guardiola gave Sterling.
35 minutes, Manchester City made a substitution.
Silva is off and Sterling is on.
The main task of Sterling on the field is to increase the propulsion of the ball in the frontcourt. Guardiola wants to use Sterling's dribbling ability to open up Manchester City's offensive line.
At the same time help De Bruyne relieve some of the pressure on the midfield.
After Sterling came on the field, he first found De Bruyne and David Silva to convey the words of coach Guardiola.
Sending a message is very simple, just one sentence.
‘Go towards the middle! '
Obviously, Guardiola can't stand it anymore. Attacking in the middle will have the dedication of being intercepted, but you can't give up the space in the middle in order not to be intercepted.
Besides, De Bruyne and David Silva are also very capable of distributing the ball in the middle, at least to rationalize the frontcourt offense.
"Manchester City finally can't sit still. After falling behind by two goals, they will become extremely passive. Perhaps Guardiola and Manchester City players did not expect that Arsenal could score two goals in 35 minutes. It made their situation extremely worse!"
"However, Manchester City is also looking for a solution to the problem. Guardiola chose Sterling. This is obviously to use Sterling's dribbling ability to stabilize the chaotic rhythm of the frontcourt attack!"
"Sterling is indeed an excellent player. His dribbling and breakthrough ability is very strong, but the problem is still that Sterling will always have some inexplicable 'happy moments'."
"And we all know that when Sterling faces Arsenal or Kay, his performance will become extremely bad!"
"I don't know if Guardiola understands this situation, or that Sterling can already overcome this opponent who is enough to be called a nightmare!"
Sterling took a deep breath to adjust his mood.
At this time, their situation is not optimistic, and he knows this, so he must perform.
In a difficult situation, Guardiola chose him based on his trust, and Sterling cannot live up to this trust. Once he performs poorly, he is likely to silently mark a big X in Guardiola's heart.
Of course, Sterling is also extremely nervous.
After all, what he needs to face is Arsenal led by Lucky.
Since the time of Liverpool, this guy has caused him a lot of trouble, and now he is even dubbed by the media as his own nightmare.
Sterling does not deny this, after all, every time he meets Lucky, his performance will be very bad.
Data do not lie.
But he is also very helpless, because every time he faces Le Kai, under the huge defensive pressure, he will make some inexplicable actions, and even his head is cloudy, as if he can't think, and he just keeps his head down. ball.
In the one-on-one duel with Lucky, Sterling really didn't have the confidence to beat Lucky.
But the current situation has to work even if it doesn't work.
At this time, they can only bite the bullet.
Lucky is looking at Sterling.
In fact, Lucky recognized Sterling's ability, but this guy would really twitch his head sometimes, and then he would become inexplicable.
If the level is always on the line, it is extremely difficult to prevent Sterling.
Both Sterling and Messi have the same ability, that is, when dribbling, the combination of man and ball is very good. When they are dribbling, the distance between the ball and the instep is just right, which makes it difficult for defensive players to defend. action.
But unlike Messi’s calmness, Sterling sometimes strides the ball suddenly, and the choice of the timing of the ball is not very correct, which makes Lucky and other defensive players find opportunities to carry out targeted defense.
Besides, Sterling can sometimes dawdle himself to the point of confusion, which is also the opponent's problem.
But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, Sterling's ability is still very strong.
Especially when this guy kicks out the feeling, he will become extremely difficult to target.
Aguero returned to the middle circle again to prepare for the kick-off.
This is the second time he kicked off with the ball in the middle circle.
It doesn't feel good to be two goals behind, it can be said to be very bad.
But Aguero and the Manchester City players are thinking about how to get back the score.
The stadium was full of cheers from Arsenal fans.
They're already having fun.
The two-goal lead relieved their tense atmosphere. At this time, they can fully enjoy the sense of transcendence brought by the game.
After all, leading by two goals means that they have enough opportunities for error tolerance.
This also allows them to watch the game with more peace of mind.
On the other hand, Manchester City fans are a bit tormented.
They can no longer concede the ball. If they concede a goal, it really means that the championship is hopeless.
After all, 'Istanbul Night' is not so easy to create.
At this time, the Manchester City fans felt that their hearts seemed to be grabbed, and they were extremely uncomfortable.
They are praying like gods, God, even if it is a goal, even if it is a goal, at least let them take a breath!
Beep! !
At this time, the whistle sounded and the game restarted.
After Manchester City has undergone substitution adjustments, the center of gravity of the ball distribution has also begun to fall towards Sterling.
Of course, when they pass the ball, they must ensure that Lucky is not around Sterling, so that he will not face the pressure of Lucky in the first place.
After receiving the ball a few times, Sterling all chose to pass back and did not make a breakthrough.
The main reason is that Arsenal's defense on the wing is too good. Robertson follows up very fast, and he cannot get the space to turn around.
Forcibly surpassing others is likely to lose the ball.
After Sterling came on the field, he became extremely cautious and did not have the usual reckless style.
Lucky is also observing Sterling all the time.
Blocking Sterling's dribbling breakthrough route, and sometimes selling some flaws, but Sterling was not fooled.
"This guy is too cautious!"
Lucy secretly sighed.
But he also understands that Sterling will probably be torn apart by Manchester City fans when the waves rise during this time period.
Obviously, Sterling also understands the priorities, so he patiently waits for the opportunity while ensuring the possession of the ball.
David Silva and De Bruyne cooperated in the midfield one after the other.
The two finally entered Arsenal's midfield and cooperated in passing and receiving the ball.
Although the process was uncomfortable, the kick was also very difficult.
But at least it can guarantee the smoothness of the pass, and at the same time connect the two wings and the offensive line between the center.
This is good news for Manchester City.
