Chapter 353 West Ham United's short highlight moment!
On the field, after West Ham pulled back a goal, Antonio rushed into the goal and hugged the ball out. On the way to the center circle, other West Ham players ran over.

The fans of the Hammers, who had been silent for more than 60 minutes in the stands, also became active, causing the on-site director to frequently show the camera on the stands where West Ham United is located.

There is actually a strange phenomenon in the Premier League, that is, teams with relatively weak strength on paper, if you can’t directly kill the suspense of the game, once they score a goal, then this team may go crazy in the next step. In turn, kill the opponent.

In recent years, this example of the weak defeating the strong has occurred almost every season. From Manchester United to Liverpool, almost every giant has capsized in the gutter.

It's just like the current situation, being kicked by one side, pressing on the ground and rubbing wildly, and then suddenly pulled back a goal, morale immediately rose and turned to attack.

Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Guardiola quickly replaced Kolarov.

But it was not Chrissy who was replaced, but Stones who was poked in the defense just now and his eyes were crying, and he could hardly keep his eyes open.

On the side of West Ham United coach Bilic, Lanzini, who had just recovered from a muscle strain, replaced Enna Valencia.

Lancini is also a versatile frontcourt player who can play as a striker or as an attacking midfielder.

So Bilic's intentions are already obvious. The Croatian coach hopes to take 1 or 3 points from the Etihad Stadium.

Soon, the game resumed.

Sure enough, after successfully pulling back a goal, West Ham received Bilic's new tactical instructions, and the avant-garde line directly pressed out for a high-position press.

Midfielder West Ham United also stepped up the intensity of their pressing.

From time to time, a central defender will come up from the back line to join the fight in the midfield, trying to use their own hardness and tenacious willpower to smash Manchester City's goal again.

In the next short period of time, West Ham United ushered in a highlight moment for the audience.

West Ham United players ran actively and spared no effort, they frequently intercepted the ball in the midfield, forming a counterattack trend, and they suppressed Manchester City abruptly.

In the 70th minute of the game, the ball moved horizontally from the left side of the center circle all the way to the right side.

Sam Byram turned around with the ball and saw that Antonio, who was in the inside position on the front line, had already accelerated forward, and he directly made a long pass.

Antonio's speed is really fast, surpassing Chrissy in a blink of an eye.

After seeing Kolarov in the ribs, he quickly moved towards Antonio, and Clichy took advantage of the trend to make up for it.

Outside the right sideline of Manchester City's penalty area, Antonio caught up with the ball, without any hesitation, extremely resolute, swung his right foot and passed directly.

The experienced Kolarov judged very accurately, but Antonio's pass was so powerful that the ball hit his intercepting left foot and turned into a high ball.

In the middle, Ashley Fletcher was always behind Otamendika. When he saw the ball bounced, he jumped ahead of him and threw himself forward.

The next second, Ashley Fletcher headed to the top in a posture riding on Otamendi's back.

On the other hand, Otamendi was bent over and could not defend effectively at all.

"fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Witnessing Ashley Fletcher's header hit the left post and passed the sliding goal, the Etihad Stadium suddenly burst into deafening exclamations again!

"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun stared and stretched his voice!

"Manchester City escaped a catastrophe!!!" Zhang Lu expressed regret, and the game situation suddenly reversed, which was really beyond his expectation.

On the sidelines, Guardiola yelled at the field like a lunatic, and kept making gestures with both hands, raising them up for a while, pressing them down for a while, matching his serious expression, as long as he had eyes, he could see that he was on the ball. The team defense is extremely dissatisfied.

Bilic, who has heavy metal rock attributes next to him, was also not idle, and he also shouted at the players on the field while making gestures.

The two coaches also frequently attracted the attention of the broadcast cameras.

Seeing the two coaches fighting, countless fans in front of the TVs would all smile.

On the field, although the game situation was not good for Manchester City, Chu Zheng remained calm.

After realizing the plight of the team, Chu Zheng stopped pressing forward and began to stay in the midfield to sort out and dispatch the ball.

Play tempo control!
Ha ha!

simple!
Chu Zheng's coping strategy is also very simple, that is to play fast, just as Guardiola's tactical requirement for them is to be fast.

Since West Ham United wants to grab and rush, let them grab and let them rush.

In the first 60 minutes of the game, West Ham United has been following their game, and Chu Zheng clearly knows how much energy is consumed by such a passive style of play.

He did not believe that West Ham United could maintain this intensity of pressing and quick impact until the 90th minute.

After Chu Zheng took advantage of the dead ball to communicate with De Bruyne and Fernandinho, the fans soon discovered that Manchester City had changed and played pass control in the backcourt.

But this kind of pass control is not slow, and the rotation of the ball is still very fast.

On the sidelines, after seeing this scene, Guardiola's eyes suddenly brightened like stars.

Especially in the eyes of Guardiola, a master tactician, Chu Zheng's position selection when breaking West Ham's press in the midfield and backcourt is simply art.

Chu Zheng has already chosen the position as soon as the ball reaches a certain area.

As long as the receiver is pressed by West Ham United players, then Chu Zheng will definitely be able to break the opponent's press at this point.

In addition, Chu Zheng's strategy also inspired Guardiola and provided another tactical idea.

Bilic also found that Chu Zheng had expanded his range of running, and every movement on the field that accurately hit their dead spots, he was amazed and amazed.

Bilic felt that Chu Zheng was more enchanting than last season. He could see that Chu Zheng seemed to be at ease in Guardiola's system.

In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester City's offensive resumed.

Chrissy, who has learned a lot from a pit, has learned to be smart this time.

He didn't wait for Antonio to come up in the backcourt, and directly kicked the ball behind his back with a big foot, which directly resolved another West Ham United's wing attack.

More than ten meters behind Chrissy, Nolito and Sam Byram were in place at the same time.

Nolito took off half a beat faster and was high enough, and quickly pushed the ball horizontally to the left.

The ball lands near the intersection of the center line on the left side of the center circle and the arc of the center circle.

Sterling quickly turned and rushed to the ball.

On West Ham United's defense line, Aubangna reacted quickly and rushed up quickly.

But he can't start and accelerate better than Sterling.

Seeing that Sterling had a high probability of touching the ball immediately, he quickly gave up his original plan and instead stuck in his position to prevent Sterling from waving the ball in an instant.

Sterling had no choice but to kick the ball back the moment he touched the ball.

Outside the arc of the center circle on the left side of Manchester City's half, Chu Zheng found that Sterling's back pass was too strong, and the ball flew behind him, so he quickly turned around to chase the ball.

At the same time, Obonna, Kuyat, and Lanzini, who came up behind Chu Zheng, formed a triangle and surrounded Chu Zheng.

But before the three of them surrounded Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng made an astonishing move.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng turned around and took two steps, then suddenly jumped forward. After laying his body in the air, he stretched out his left foot and made a hook, and the ball turned around and flew towards Sterling.

Chu Zheng's magical kick once again turned everyone over. Even Guardiola was taken aback. He never expected that Chu Zheng would pass the ball in this way.

On the arc of the middle circle, Sterling was stunned when he saw the ball coming back. He reacted and quickly knocked the ball horizontally to De Bruyne on the left, then turned around and prepared to drill towards Aubang to leave the gap.

But Aguero is faster than him and has already run the gap ahead of time.

After Sterling found out, he slowed down and stayed on De Bruyne's right side to support.

De Bruyne hadn't run very far with the ball, and Noble, Masuaku and Kuyat quickly surrounded him from the left and right.

Seeing that he was about to be entangled, at this time, De Bruyne saw Aguero in the middle suddenly turn to the left rib at the top of the arc, so he quickly kicked and passed.

The ball was packed beautifully, and the timing was very precise, Chu Zheng's offensive plan was not wasted.

At the intersection of the penalty area line and the left side of the free throw arc, Aguero got the ball and slowed down at the same time. He flicked the ball slightly on the outside of his right foot, with the intention of turning slightly to the right to go inside.

But after Aguero finished this action, he quickly turned to the left, and at the same time he led the inside of his right foot, suddenly accelerated, and he led the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Winston Reed was played around by Aguero and wanted to keep up, but his body didn't allow it. After running two steps inside, the card staggered and slipped.

Outside the upper left corner of the small penalty area, Aguero followed up and raised his foot to explode the pole, directly swiping the near corner.

With a bang, the ball actually hit the outside of the post and bounced off the baseline.

"Oh, Aguero missed the chance to kill the suspense of the game!" Zhan Jun regretted.

"Aguero, a natural shooter, all actions are prepared for the next shot..."

On the sidelines, Guardiola also turned around in frustration.

Chu Zheng and De Bruyne have done it to the extreme.

Chu Zheng pulled up the attack speed at once, and De Bruyne didn't let the speed slow down, and sent a wonderful pass, but he just couldn't score, which made people feel aggrieved.

After this attack, West Ham United's offensive was gradually suppressed by Manchester City.
