Green Journey

Chapter 351 I finally ate it!

At the Etihad Stadium, the Hammers fans in the stands saw their team being rubbed against the ground by Manchester City, and everyone had a look of worry on their faces.

So far in the game, they have not yet completed a shot, which is simply unbelievable last season.

Although this is Manchester City's home court, it is impossible for them to be suppressed to such an extent.

The only thing that makes Hammer fans feel lucky is that Manchester City's striker seems a little out of shape today.

But they don't know how long this luck can last.

Maybe in the next second, maybe in the next minute, Manchester City's goal may be coming.

The Manchester City fans were in high spirits.

The dominance shown by the team made them feel fresh and new. They only felt that Guardiola was too strong to make Manchester City reborn.

After seeing Manchester City's outstanding performance recently, many fans suddenly realized why the club's top management pursued Guardiola so much.

For this reason, at the beginning of this year, before the end of last season, it was officially announced that Guardiola will enter Manchester City next season.

It now appears that Guardiola is indeed much better than Pellegrini.

Thinking of the two rounds against West Ham United last season, the gap between Pellegrini and Guardiola is really clear at a glance.

And Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng who came to Manchester City also shocked them.

Chu Zheng was indeed terrifying in Leicester City before, but now under Guardiola's tactical system, Chu Zheng is even more terrifying.

Look at Chu Zheng's performance inside and outside the West Ham United penalty area like a fish in water, breakthrough, through, cross, series attack, organization attack, he is omnipotent.

At this moment, countless Manchester City fans are extremely grateful that Guardiola started quickly enough.

Otherwise, let this kind of monster midfielder go to Arsenal or Chelsea and other rich opponents. With Manchester City's current defense line, it will definitely be miserable against Chu Zheng.

As for Aguero and Sterling who took turns wasting scoring opportunities, although they looked very worried, they believed that the goal would come sooner or later.

The premonition of the Manchester City fans was correct, and soon Manchester City's goal came, and it was an extremely beautiful goal with the characteristics of Guardiola's coaching style.

In the 23nd minute of the game, Manchester City won the fourth corner kick.

De Bruyne saw that Chu Zheng was in a tight siege again, and he passed his right foot directly to Fernandinho in front of the penalty spot.

But Kouyat had been prepared for a long time, and took off almost at the same time as Fernandinho, using his height advantage to shake his head and directly eject the ball from the arc area.

Zabaleta chased the ball along the middle and returned to near the middle circle.

Seeing West Ham striker Ashley Fletcher coming in aggressively, he quickly tapped Clichy back on the kick-off before pulling wide to the right to set up a touchdown.

Clichy brought the ball back three meters, then turned around and crossed Sabaletta in the left rib area of ​​the center circle.

Zabaleta stopped the ball on the center line of the ribs and saw West Ham United's 541 defensive formation quickly pressed up. The four players in the midfield were closely connected with each other, making him unable to find a forward pass.

It happened that Fernandinho returned to the center circle area, so he transferred the ball across.

Fernando takes the ball across the halfway line and goes forward to the right.

Chu Zheng stretched out his right foot to stop the ball, and kept observing West Ham United's 541 formation, but he didn't find a good attacking space.

If there is no ready-made one, you can only create it yourself.

Chu Zheng did what he said, dawdled on the spot for a while, and suddenly dribbled the ball sideways.

Before the arc of the middle circle, Stones quickly got in place and established a contact point.

Chu Zheng raised his foot and passed before Enna Valencia approached, and then continued to run horizontally.

The moment Stones took the ball, Noble, Fletcher, and Valencia beside Chu Zheng quickly formed a triangular encirclement, which quickly shrank.

Stones understood Chu Zheng's intention of passing the ball, and he was very competent as the bait.

Stones didn't stop the ball, but knocked it back to Chu Zheng.

Just passing back and forth like this, the 4-man defense line in West Ham United's midfield was in chaos.

After Chu Zheng took the ball, he saw a gap between Noble and Gokhan Trey. He stepped forward when he touched the ball, turned to the right, and dribbled the ball directly.

Enna Valencia was chasing after Chu Zheng, and her whole body was almost attached to Chu Zheng's back.

He first wanted to squeeze in front of Chu Zheng, but was blocked by Chu Zheng, and then he directly pulled Chu Zheng.

However, Chu Zheng was as unshakable as a mountain, and on the contrary, Chu Zheng's center of gravity became unbalanced, and he was so precarious that he almost fell down.

The referee Marina was standing next to him. He could see Enna Valencia's foul action clearly, but he didn't stop the game because the offense was favorable.

After killing Enna Valencia, Chu Zheng quickly rushed into the 30-meter area of ​​the penalty area, facing Antonio and James Collins who were standing parallel to the left rib at the top of the arc.

In front of the free throw arc in the middle, Aguero helped Chu Zheng contain Obonna and Winston Reed with one against two.

Two seconds later, Chu Zheng entered the left rib area at the top of West Ham United's arc.

Nolito on the left has come up and is making a diagonal cut towards the sideline of the penalty area.

But Chu Zheng didn't pass it immediately, but continued to lead it slowly, and turned to Nolito at the same time.

Antonio saw Chu Zheng's obvious intention to pass the ball, and he quickly turned to the right to face Nolito's side.

But that's what Chu Zheng wanted.

Just then, Nolito came to the upper left corner of the penalty area.

Seeing that the timing of the pass was ripe, Chu Zheng suddenly made a direct pass from the ribs with a scalpel.

The ball rolled past Antonio and rolled into the penalty area impartially.

Seeing the ball coming, Nolito accelerated again.

At a position more than one meter away from the left sideline of the small penalty area, the moment Nolito touched the ball, James Collins, who followed up inside, quickly fell to the ground and threw himself out, trying to block Nolito's shot with his body.

As a result, he made a mistake in his judgment. Nolito didn't shoot at all, but directly passed back to Sterling's inverted triangle on the penalty spot.

Before the penalty kick in the middle, Sterling quickly stood still, raised his buttocks and raised his right foot to push directly to the lower right corner of the goal.

Before approaching the goal post, West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian swooped quickly.

But distant water cannot save near fire.

The angle of Sterling's kick was too tricky, and Adrian, who was far away from the far post, could only sigh and be helpless.

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

On the commentary booth, Manchester City's official commentators Martin and Smith jumped up at the same time, raising their arms to cheer.

The Manchester City fans in the stands also jumped up at the same time, instantly forming a soaring sound wave, sweeping the Etihad Stadium.

"Yes!!!!!!!!!"

"Sterling! A calm and calm push!!!"

"It's messed up, it's all messed up, West Ham United's defense made Chu Zheng make a pass, and all his attention was drawn to the left side of the penalty area. As a result, Sterling, who followed up in the middle, had no one to defend him!"

"Although it wasn't Chu Zheng's assist, most of the credit for the goal should be attributed to Chu Zheng!"

"Yes! Chu Zheng's brain is really good!" Zhang Lu nodded, "His ability to create space and control the timing of the ball is already perfect!"

"Yes! Enna Valencia chased Chu Zheng for nearly 30 meters, but Chu Zheng didn't even look at it, and was always stuck on the route of Valencia's pursuit!"

"With five defenders, Bilic failed to prevent Manchester City's combination of side and center!"

"The frontiers can't be defended, and the middle and the middle can't be blocked!" Fan Zhiyi also said cheerfully.

"Nolito passed the ball well, very calm, staring at Sterling's pass!"

"Yes! Although Nolito has just transferred to Manchester City, his performance is obviously better than that of Sane and Navas, and he adapts to Guardiola's tactical system very quickly. This is why Guardiola reused him! "

Manchester City's coaching bench, Guardiola, Domenech Torun and Art Tate suddenly raised their arms and shouted out at the moment of scoring, and the expressions of the three were extremely excited.

On the field, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sterling score a goal, and then ran over to hug Sterling and others to celebrate.
