Green Journey

Chapter 340 The state is so good that it explodes!
At 2:45 a.m. BJ time, the game officially started.

"In this game, Manchester City is Caballero in the goalkeeper position, and the new aid Bravo in the goalkeeper position did not start the game!"

"At the back, Stones and Otamendi are in the center, Kolarov is on the left and Zabaleta is on the right."

"In the midfield, looking at Fernandinho's activity area after the start, he should be in the position of a defensive midfielder."

"And Chu Zheng and De Bruyne are on the two sides of Fernandinho, Nolito and Sterling are on the left and right sides, and Aguero's single striker is at the front."

"Yeah!" Zhang Lu nodded next to her, "It's like a starting lineup with a 4141 formation."

After finishing the words, Zhang Lu continued: "After Guardiola arrives this season, everyone knows that Manchester City's style of play will definitely undergo a huge change!"

"But in Manchester City's first warm-up match against Bayern, I didn't see that Manchester City had changed much. Guardiola's tactics were not clear enough in the game!"

"But in the next two warm-up matches, including today's game, you can see that after Manchester City presses up to attack, one of Sabaletta and Kolarov will always appear in the middle. This is Guardio. Bring something new to Manchester City."

"The European media all say that this is another tactical innovation of Guardiola, but the specific effect remains to be tested by time..."

Before Zhang Lu finished speaking, Manchester City played a beautiful attack on the field, and the initiator was Chu Zheng.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Aguero actively pressed forward in the frontcourt.

Star Bucharest right central defender Tamas in the top area of ​​the arc took the ball sideways.

Seeing Sterling coming up along the left rib, he didn't dare to pass the ball to his partner Tosca in the area of ​​the right rib at the top of the arc, but directly passed back to the goalkeeper Nita in front of the small penalty area.

Nita hit the ball directly with a long pass into the circle.

At the landing point, Kolarov rushed over quickly, jumped in front of Stanciu, the midfielder of Star Bucharest, and hammered the ball to De Bruyne who retreated along the middle.

But De Bruyne was followed by Star Bucharest midfielder Muniru, unable to turn around.

Facing the incoming ball, De Bruyne raised his left foot and rubbed it, and the ball rolled laterally to the right of Manchester City.

Sterling retreated to take the ball, and De Bruyne, a free man in the frontcourt, immediately moved forward to the right side of the frontcourt and the sideways.

When Munilu was taken away from the center by De Bruyne, Sterling dunked, quickly turned around and dribbled the ball diagonally, and rushed towards the front of the center arc.

Sterling's run directly attracted Azim, another midfielder of Steaua Bucharest.

At the same time, Chu Zheng, who was on the left side of the center, directly ran into the gap opened by Azim and the right back.

Seeing that Chu Zheng was in place, Sterling tapped his right foot horizontally, and the ball landed at Chu Zheng's feet.

At this time, Manchester City quickly established a local numerical advantage in the left rib area at the top of the arc.

Chu Zheng and Nolito, who came up quickly from the left and crossed diagonally into the penalty area, formed a two-on-one situation against Steaua Bucharest's right-back Enaki.

But Enach was experienced and knew he was at a disadvantage.

So instead of turning around and retreating, he blocked Chu Zheng's direct transmission line behind him, and gave way to Chu Zheng's direct transmission line to Nolito.

He made a lot of small calculations, and was even ready to intercept Chu Zheng as soon as he passed the ball.

Chu Zheng knew at a glance that this little guy was trying to trick him, so he followed suit.

Chu Zheng quickly turned to the left while there was no one around him, facing Nolito outside the upper corner of the penalty area on the left, and at the same time moved the ball with his right foot to his left foot, making the preparations for the pass very realistic .

At this point, Enach, who believed it was true, began to turn to the right, ready to intercept.

At this moment, Chu Zheng tapped the inside of the toe of his left foot to the right, and the ball that had just rolled over returned the same way.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zheng swung his legs on the spot, rubbed the instep of his right foot, and the ball turned into white light and went straight behind Ainaki.

Enach could feel the ball brushing past his heels, but he couldn't complete his turn and realized he had been cheated the other way around.

At the same time, Nolito accelerated again, ahead of the turning Ennaki, rushed to the upper left corner of the small penalty area and raised his foot to hit.

In the next second, there was a bang, and the goal was whining!
"Shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ouch!!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, He Wei and Zhang Lu raised their voices instantly.

It's a pity that Nolito wasted Chu Zheng's exquisite instep through.

The ball was swung by Nolito on the crossbar in the upper left corner of the goal and flew out of the baseline.

"Look, Chu Zheng's thinking and timing of passing the ball are so good!"

"He knew that Enaki deliberately gave up the space in front of him just to wait for him to pass, so he tricked Enaki by turning around and changing his feet, and then at the moment when Nolito and Enaki were almost at the same level , rubbed the ball from the originally blocked through line, this timing is too good!"

"Chu Zheng's feet are becoming more and more difficult to tell which is the dominant foot!" He Wei shook his head and laughed, "This way of passing the ball can only be achieved by a player like Chu Zheng whose feet are perfectly balanced." If it can be passed on, it is simply impossible to guard against.”

On the court, Nolito, who missed the ball, shook his hand, looking very annoyed, but he did not forget to give Chu Zheng a thumbs up to indicate that the ball was passed beautifully.

On the sidelines, Guardiola, who was happy for nothing, has returned to sit on the coach's bench, smiling and wondering what he is talking about with assistant coach Arteta.

As the saying goes, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day.

As the game time passed, the direction of the game was exactly as expected by the media and fans before the game, and the scale of the game was completely tilted towards Manchester City.

Because the two full-backs of Manchester City took turns to receive the position of the midfielder, and with the mopping up of Chu Zheng and De Bruyne, Star Bucharest could not fight back even after stealing the ball in the backcourt. Every time it was not Chu Zheng An interception is to be successfully counter-robbed by De Bruyne in the first place.

Steaua Bucharest didn't even have time to develop wide after stealing the ball.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lu said in amazement: "The effect of Chu Zheng's joining Manchester City is extremely obvious. Manchester City's current midfield control ability and counter-stealing ability after losing the ball are better than last season. Rini was more than a notch better when he was in charge."

Not long after Zhang Lu's words fell, Manchester City's first goal appeared.

In the 12th minute of the game, De Bruyne took the ball in the right rib area of ​​​​the middle circle of his own half and crossed it to the right.

As a result, two Steaua Bucharest players pinched from left to right, and the ball was snatched back.

Fernandinho quickly moves laterally to counter tackle.

With one against three, he made consecutive grabs and finally successfully kicked the ball back to Steaua Bucharest's backcourt.

Tamas quickly retreated along the middle.

But Aguero was not slow to come up, so he didn't dare to stop the ball under his feet, but chose to push the ball horizontally to Tosca in the right rib area of ​​​​the top of the arc.

As a result, Tosca didn't stop the ball at his feet, it was a bit big.

Sterling, who had already rushed behind him quickly, rushed up immediately, and with that agility, he got in front of Tosca and got the ball.

Entering the big restricted area and coming to the upper right corner of the small restricted area, Sterling suddenly buckled his right foot and avoided Tosca who was chasing back.

Following up three steps horizontally to get the ball, Sterling saw that Aguero was closely watched by the opponent's midfielder Azim at the penalty spot in the middle, and he passed behind Aguero without saying a word.

At the same time, Chu Zheng entered the penalty area from the top of the arc, ran to the left side of the penalty area, and stretched his legs to stop the ball in front of him.

After stopping the ball, Chu Zheng didn't adjust at all. He swung his leg sideways and swung his left foot to hit it.

The next second, there was a muffled bang!
The ball entered Steaua Bucharest's goal from the upper left corner of the goal at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Goalkeeper Nita didn't react at all to Chu Zheng's close-range shot.

"pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Chu Zheng's first goal after joining Manchester City!!!!"

"What should come will come sooner or later!!!"

"Chu Zheng played the ball so smoothly! He didn't hesitate at all! He was extremely determined!" Zhang Lu also burst into laughter, "But Chu Zheng has to thank Sterling for this ball!"

"Yes, Sterling made a good grab and a good dunk!"

On the sidelines, after seeing the team score a goal, Guardiola, who had just picked up the mineral water, yelled with joy, then immediately put down the water bottle and stood up, two with Arteta and Domenech Torrente The assistant coach hugged and celebrated, and then went to the coaching area to applaud.

On the field, Chu Zheng also hugged Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling and others to celebrate.

After this goal was born, it was officially announced that the game had entered Manchester City time.

Just 3 minutes later, Sterling was kicked to the right calf and fell to the ground by Muniru during the breakthrough in the Steaua Bucharest penalty area.

The referee awarded a penalty kick without saying a word.

Manchester City Aguero is the first penalty shooter in the team.

But this time Aguero let the Manchester City fans down.

His intention was predicted by goalkeeper Nita, who fell to the right and directly blocked the ball shot to the lower right corner of the goal.

Suddenly there was chaos in front of the Bucharest planet gate.

Outside the upper left corner of the small penalty area, Chu Zheng flashed again, raised his left foot and blasted the stick at close range, blasting the ball into Steaua Bucharest's goal again.

2-0!

After scoring two goals, Chu Zheng's first assist in Manchester City soon came.

In the 38th minute of the game, Nolito broke through from the side and was blocked back. He brought the ball back and suddenly kicked a cross.

At the front of the arc, Chu Zheng rushed a little too far this time.

But it's okay.

In full view, Chu Zheng jumped up, crossed his feet in the air, and used the inside of his right foot to stop the ball behind his left heel to Aguero who was rushing from his left side.

Seeing that Chu Zheng had erected the turret so perfectly, Aguero barely made any adjustments, and kicked and shot.

The ball went straight to the bottom corner of the far goal and once again got into Steaua Bucharest's goal.

3-0!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the electronic board showing the score at the National Stadium was an exaggerated score.

8-0!

Not only did Chu Zheng complete a hat-trick in the second half, but Aguero, who missed two consecutive penalties in this game, also completed a hat-trick with the alternate assists of Chu Zheng and De Bruyne.

In the final period of the game, Aguero, who was fed up by Chu Zheng and De Bruyne in turn, didn't bother to hit the empty goal, and directly crossed to his younger brother Sterling.

And Sterling did not show his happy attributes, and easily pushed the empty goal.

After the game, Chu Zheng became the well-deserved best player of the game. With three goals and two assists, he declared to everyone that his state was as hot as ever.
