Chapter 272 Everyone really wants to mess with Manchester City!
You may not be able to understand how much Manchester City is struggling just by looking at the record, but it can be described with one fact:
In the past, under the leadership of Zhao Jinge, Manchester City barely encountered any decent resistance when facing teams like Stoke City, but now those opponents who had surrendered three points already felt that they could resist Manchester City's rule!
Guardiola also gradually realized a problem, that is, the strong central axis that Manchester City once relied on for survival.
Already with the departure of Aguero, Kompany's constant injuries, Yaya Toure's visible decline, and David Silva's poor condition, he has ceased to exist in name only!
And Manchester City's new generation central axis is also facing the injury of core midfielder De Bruyne. No matter how good Zhao Jinge is, he is only one person!
It is impossible for him to score twice in every game, score a hat trick and other things to single-handedly lead the team to victory.
This is a war for eleven people, not a game that can be successfully completed by one person!
If a striker can score one goal in each of the [-] games he plays for the team in each season, it would be amazing.
Apart from Zhao Jinge, only those two people on this planet can do it, and it was during the peak seasons of those two people!
After the start of the season, including the Community Shield, there were three games and five goals. Although Zhao Jinge felt that his condition was not good and his performance was a bit slow on the offensive end, in the eyes of Guardiola, he could perform like this. Zhao Jinge is already burning himself to light up the team!
You couldn't ask for more from him!
Zhao Jinge needs a right-hand man who can really help him. Obviously, David Silva and Yaya Toure in these games have not been able to really make a strong impact on him in the midfield due to various reasons. support.
On the two wings after Mahrez was injured, Sterling's performance can only be said to be satisfactory, while Mane's finishing ability, which has scored more than ten goals in the league this season, is also somewhat unsatisfactory.
The midfielder cannot provide the most suitable and powerful support, and the finishing ability of the other two positions on the forward line needs to be improved. One can imagine Zhao Jinge's fatigue and helplessness since the start of the game!
In this regard, Guardiola can only pray that De Bruyne can recover as much as possible in the limited time he squeezes out, and respond to his and Zhao Jinge's expectations in the tough battles ahead.
Time flies by, and it comes to next Sunday without paying attention. The third round of the Premier League is about to begin. This is also Manchester City's last game before a large number of main players return.
Manchester City faced the challenge of the Hammers at home. Among their opponents this time, Manchester City met Zabaleta, an acquaintance who had just transferred to West Ham United this summer.
West Ham United has had a sluggish start to the new season and is temporarily on the edge of the league's relegation zone. Not only did the league have a bad start, but the Europa League play-off qualification they finally won last season was in vain and they failed to break out of the Europa League play-offs!
Manchester City continued to maintain a four-three-three formation, but Guardiola asked the team's full-backs to increase their assists and aggressiveness before the game to help Zhao Jinge better open the situation in the midfield.
I thought that the head coach Bilic on the opposite side would also set up the bus like last season, but Guardiola didn't expect that he made a wrong calculation!
So far in the season, West Ham United, which has suffered two losses, one draw and one win, actually has the guts to prepare to eat dumplings at the Etihad Stadium!
In the opening game, Manchester City was the main attacker, and the full-backs were highly aggressive in assists. Zhao Jinge played the ball in the middle and hit the wing. Two waves of crosses have not yet been threatened.
The fast break that West Ham turned around naturally also hit the wing.
Ashley - Fletcher served as the center, Valencia and Antonio wings together, playing a textbook fast break.
When Clichy was not in a defensive position, Antonio first penetrated the right wing. Ashley Fletcher received the ball in the middle and then played the ball to find Valencia who was cutting inside.
When Valencia cut inside and passed Yaya Toure with a stoppage, Guardiola couldn't help but touch his scalp with raised veins.
Toure, Toure, what happened to you this season?This decline is too serious!
That little-known Valencia can beat you, tell me what do you think?
If you think I have arranged for you to play the main force and you have an opinion, you can speak up and don't play me like that!
Zhao Jinge, who was preparing to return to defense in the frontcourt, couldn't help but darken his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him.
Toure, you want to perform like this every game. After that year, Guardiola wants to clean you up, and the brothers have nothing to say!
Valencia, who passed Toure, then hit the wall with Ashley Fletcher to penetrate Stones' defense, and volleyed the ball from the left side of the penalty area into the dead center of the goal!
West Ham United fans are so crazy!Dream start to Manchester City!Is there anything more wonderful than this?
The song "I'm going to blow bubbles" rang through the Etihad Stadium, and the Blue Moon fans who occupied most of the stadium were extremely uncomfortable!
For three consecutive games, each game started poorly, which has almost become a routine!
Is this the number one in the Premier League today?In addition to comforting themselves that Zhao Jinge came to the rescue behind them, Blue Moon fans could not think of any other way to comfort themselves.
Zhao Jinge is used to the team's difficult start.
The pace of the Premier League is fast. If he does not chase back to the backcourt as soon as West Ham United counterattacks, he will not be able to contribute in addition to counterattacking on the front line.
Moreover, his tactical position does not allow him to expend energy to do things that are not within his scope, unless Manchester City is determined to set up the bus.
Today, in addition to Yaya Toure, Manchester City's midfield also includes Kante and Gundogan. In terms of defensive hardness, it is already a tough enough combination, but conceding the ball at the beginning is really a bit unbearable!
David Silva was put on the bench by Guardiola. Gundogan, who had been out for three weeks, got his first chance to play this season, but he didn't look any better than David Silva. Where to go.
In a word, Manchester City's current midfielder is still unable to stop the opponent's attack, so what else can it do?You can only fight to attack.
The full-backs continued to attack, and the generals in the midfield and backfield were well aware of how bad their defense was just now. At this time, they were also trying desperately to make up for it, using all means except intentional fouls. Anyway, they were running as hard as they could. A life-threatening press, we must not give the Hammers another chance!
Zhao Jinge continued to play steadily without interference in the frontcourt. He had a chance to break through but had no chance to distribute the ball and cooperate.
Manchester City's new season games have been played for nearly a month. At least when Zhao Jinge is on the court, the team's offensive system can always produce threats regardless of the number of players or the number of players.
West Ham United's counterattack and fast break were impressive and exploited every opportunity, but their defense was not seamless and watertight.
In the 305th minute of the game, Zhao Jinge knocked the ball back to Gundogan in the middle of the frontcourt, and then took the initiative to run towards the left rib of the penalty area.
Gundogan couldn't pass the ball directly, but the full-back Chrissy came up, and he immediately passed the ball diagonally, and Manchester City's triangle pass was effective.
Zhao Jinge took advantage of the situation and drove the opponent's defender Masuyakou back towards the baseline. In the next step, he suddenly stopped behind him. The ball changed direction and then turned crosswise. Masuyakou stretched his legs. Zhao Jinge dodged and glanced at the moment he moved. When the door is opened, he calmly kicks his feet and shoots.
West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian fell to the ground and was a step too late to pounce. The ball was not fast but had a tricky angle. It hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal.
Blue Moon fans raised their hands in the air and were excited. They had to watch their new king at the critical moment!So far, the biggest source of excitement for Blue Moon fans watching the game is Zhao Jinge!
Guardio's ramen didn't change color, as if it was completely expected.
""GOAL! ! ! ! ! "
"Zhao Jinge scored in three consecutive Premier League games! Although we all know that Manchester City did not show its dominance in these games and more or less gave the opponent a chance to win.
But this does not include Zhao Jinge!
His offensive dominance has not declined at all!
He is still the man who scares the entire Premier League and the entire European continent! "
West Ham United head coach Bilic sighed. There was a hurdle in his mind that he couldn't overcome. When he led the Hammers to a winning streak last season, his back was broken by Zhao Jinge's hat trick!
West Ham United, which was expected to compete for a spot in the Europa League, fell to seventh place in the league due to the negative impact of Manchester City's two consecutive massacres, and then directly lost in this year's Europa League qualifying play-offs. , ended his dream of European war!
As a result, I want to touch the whiskers of the sick cat today, and then what?
It was Zhao Jinge's unreasonable operation again, and the dream start was ruined again!
How can this game against Manchester City be so difficult?
Could you, Zhao Jinge, be a little more restrained?Give us ordinary teams a little gaming experience!
I have brought the team to what it is now in the new season. If I am massacred again, you will probably kick me out of class!
Be gentle with your feet!Brother, Brother Zhao, can we be gentler?
Bilic felt a little depressed. Whenever he saw hope, there would always be Zhao Jinge who would jump out and crush it. When will these days end?
Manchester City's offense continues, but except for Gundogan who can keep up with Zhao Jinge's rhythm, Yaya Toure still has not found his own rhythm.
The offensive players coming up from the wing are only supporting or passing the ball. If Zhao Jinge doesn't pass the ball to the two wingers, he can only set up a fort for the midfielder who comes in behind, or he can do it himself.
With the cooperation of Zhao Jinge and Gundogan, Manchester City's offense has the stability of organizational advancement, but it is somewhat difficult to create last-minute opportunities.
Too few attack points was the root cause. The scene that Guardiola expected for the midfielders to take turns to form a linkage and continuous fire suppression did not appear.
Among Gundogan, Yaya Toure, and Kante, the latter is the least likely to steal the right to fire. Although the other two's long-range shots are world-class, one person has to be responsible for the midfield organization, and the other person is in a sluggish state. There is really no way to provide fire support from midfield!
The Hammers' defense couldn't stop Manchester City's long-range shots from the outside. Unfortunately, they focused on blocking Zhao Jinge. Other Manchester City players had opportunities, but unfortunately they didn't have the strength. Today, Mane has already fired two anti-aircraft guns!
As the first half of the game was coming to an end, Zhao Jinge cooperated with Gundogan from the center and entered the West Ham United penalty area. After passing the opponent's defender Collins on his bicycle, he shot hard into the far corner of the goal. Unexpectedly, he returned to the defense. Masuyaku cleared the ball in front of the goal line.
The Eagle Eye technology of the Premier League also specially played a small video on the big screen of the football pressing the line but not crossing the goal line as a whole.
West Ham United launched a quick counterattack.
Ashley Fletcher was dribbling in the middle, facing Yaya Toure and a player who was keeping up with the midfielder, he easily broke through with a simple wall collision!
Yaya Toure took the lead and handed over his body weight very simply, and was beaten more cleanly.
Guardiola's blood pressure soared as he watched from the sidelines, and he thought about selling Yaya Toure!
Ashley Fletcher crossed the ball across the right when Kante and Otamendi came to pinch.
Antonio broke into Manchester City's penalty area from the outside and made a decisive pass.
Valencia outflanked the middle of the goal.
Seeing that there was a chance to grab a shot, someone was faster than him and sent the ball directly into Manchester City's goal!
Guardiola was stunned, looking at the situation in front of his own goal, people were going crazy!
Otamendi put a shovel to intercept but scored an own goal!Didn't you expect that? !
This time it was me who scored the own goal again!
I shoveled the ball directly into my own goal!
Manchester City fans couldn't bear it anymore and greeted Otamendi's family in the Manchester dialect of the computer!
West Ham fans cheered wildly again, and the Etihad Stadium reminded them of their loud song "I'm going to blow bubbles" again.
Zhao Jinge looked at the backcourt with a sad expression. To be honest, Otamendi's mistakes in two consecutive games made him a little confused!
You have to work hard for a long time in front to score a goal, and sometimes you can't score a goal, but you are relaxed in the back, conceding own goals every day!
Which forward can you say can stand this situation? !
Those who enter from the front are not as many as those who are lost from the back!
Hurry, you are tired, destroy it!
Zhao Jinge was speechless. Fortunately, there was someone more manic than him. Guardiola angrily criticized the situation on the court. If the assistant coach hadn't stopped him, he would have replaced Otamendi now. End!
Fortunately, his rationality stopped him in the end. After all, he was a player bought for 5000 to [-] million euros. If he was replaced at the end of the first half without saving any face, I am afraid Otamendi would be really useless!
If you want to change, you must persist until the intermission no matter what!
Thinking of this, and the assistant coach's dissuasion, Guardiola, who suppressed his anger, reluctantly called out Laporte, who was watching the show on the bench:
Tell him that there is no need to go back to the locker room during the halftime break. He can go directly to warm up and replace Otamendi in the second half!
