Green Journey

Chapter 374 Two powers harm each other whichever is less

Manchester City's celebrations continue at Celtic Park.

Aguero excitedly jumped onto Chu Zheng's back, and the others surrounded Chu Zheng to congratulate him.

This goal is no small feat.

Although Chu Zheng's goal is not exactly similar to Ice Prince Bergkamp's turn-of-the-century goal, it is as good as it is in terms of fluency and viewing.

Moreover, Chu Zheng directly played three players on the Celtics defense line, including the goalkeeper, with one against two.

The whole process of Chu Zheng's turn and goal perfectly reflected his delicate technique, excellent on-the-spot adaptability and unconstrained imagination and creativity.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that Chu Zheng's goal will be recorded in the history of the Champions League and remembered by the world.

Chu Zheng was also very happy from ear to ear.

He just had a flash of inspiration just now, and he didn't have time to think so much.

The muscle memory of years of training reacted quickly.

It turned out that luckily, he really succeeded.

At this moment, Chu Zheng, who scored such a goal enough to be recorded in football history, was also very excited.

Of course, what Chu Zheng was more excited about were the colorful talents and fragments scattered in every corner of the court.

His goal just detonated the audience.

But looking at where these pieces of talent fell, Chu Zheng knew that most of them were dropped by his teammates.

In London, there is another person who is happier than Chu Zheng, even hyperactive.

Mario was going crazy with joy.

This kind of goal is of great benefit to Chu Zheng's popularity.

After witnessing Chu Zheng's goal in the office, Mario jumped up from his chair and rushed out of the office to greet more than a dozen employees in the workshop.

"Now, immediately, immediately, within 15 minutes, I saw the video of Chu's goal on YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Netflix, Dailymotion..."

"Do it within 15 minutes, 200 pounds per person!"

Excited, Mario uttered a series of names of video websites in various European countries.

"OK! Boss!"

"We only need 10 minutes!" Upon hearing that there was a bonus to be won, all the staff in the studio immediately became bloody, and immediately lowered their heads to work after echoing loudly.

After explaining his work, Mario returned to his office non-stop and continued to watch the game.

Celtic Park, after kick-off, Manchester City quickly won the ball back through midfield.

After Chu Zheng got the ball, he saw a Celtic player in every key position in front of him, and he directly passed the ball back to the backcourt.

Kolarov, Otamendi, Fernandinho and others all clearly understood Chu Zheng's intentions, so they took control of the ball, took the initiative to slow down the pace of the game, and played quite patiently .

On the sidelines, after seeing the situation stabilized, Guardiola returned to the coaching bench, whispering to Arteta and Torrent while writing and drawing on the tactical tablet.

Aside, Rodgers could also see that City had broken free from their predicament in the opening 15 minutes, out of their tempo control.

In today's game, Rogers' tactical strategy is to play fast and rush.

He told the Celtics players to bring the pace of the game as fast as possible, and let Manchester City follow their pace of the game.

Before the game, he and the coaching staff did a very detailed job at the level of intelligence collection and analysis on Manchester City.

Rogers knows that once the game situation allows Manchester City to control through this overall pass control, it will be difficult for them to obtain the ball.

So the key to this game is how to limit Manchester City's pass control and let Manchester City follow their rhythm.

In the first 15 minutes, his tactical strategy was implemented very smoothly.

But now, a simple retreat from the monster's midfielder made his calculations go to waste through his powerful personal ability.

Also as a head coach, Rogers really envied Guardiola.

Whether in Liverpool or the current Celtics, he cannot buy the players he likes as Guardiola does.

"Man City are playing patiently now."

"Yes! Especially after Chu Zheng retreated, he took back the right to control the rhythm from David Silva."

"The effect of Chu Zheng's retreat is immediate."

"But the situation is still a bit unfavorable for Manchester City at the moment."

"The position of the Celtic players on the field today has now cut off many of Manchester City's short passes on the ground, often forcing Manchester City to launch offensives with mid- and long-distance long passes in the backcourt." Zhang Lu laughed.

"This is one of the reasons why Manchester City frequently lost the ball today. They are better at keeping the ball under their feet." Zhan Jun nodded, "Chu Zheng is back now, but there is another person in charge of advancing and organizing in the frontcourt. The impact of Browne's injury on City's attack now looks huge."

"Yes! Chu Zheng also chose the lesser harm between the two powers, and made a choice."

"And Manchester City's recent schedule is a bit too intensive, and Guardiola's tactical play consumes the players' physical energy, so Manchester City players look a little tired today."

"Yes, the reasonable distribution of players' physical energy on the field is also a key factor affecting the outcome of the game. Even if Chu Zheng can run back and forth in a wide range, he will not do so until the last moment."

Not long after the two talked, Manchester City's goal appeared in danger again on the field.

In the 18th minute of the game, the Celtics left in the middle of the half.

After Tierney got a pass from the backcourt near the center line, he was robbed by Sterling, who was pouting his hips, completely unable to turn and face the frontcourt.

In order to avoid losing the ball and being counterattacked by Manchester City, the petite and nimble Tierney made a fake spike and quickly passed the ball back behind him.

Sviachenko has the ball in the half.

Seeing Aguero approaching quickly, Manchester City's formation quickly pressed up, he did not panic.

Because that's exactly the offensive opportunity they're looking for.

Aware of the emergence of offensive opportunities, Sviachenko quickly continued to move laterally.

But as soon as the ball was passed, Aguero turned to the left halfway and went straight to the passing line.

Suddenly everyone was terrified.

But Aguero was still half a beat slow in the end, and his legs were not long enough, so he failed to intercept Sviachenko's cross.

After Kolo Toure, who was four meters away from the arc in the middle of the middle circle, got the ball, he saw David Silva also rushing up, and he continued to shift to his right.

Nolito quickly sprinted to the wing and pressed Lustig who was holding the ball.

But Lustig didn't give him a chance to get close at all, and after quickly adjusting, he swung his right foot and made a long pass to Manchester City's left rib in the middle of the half.

At this time, Manchester City's defense line has reached the vicinity of the center circle arc, and Moussa Dembele, who retreated in the center and acted as the fulcrum of the attack, is on the landing point.

Facing the incoming ball, he quickly turned his back and stuck Otamendi, who was brought out from the defense, behind him.

Although Otamendi did not take advantage of his position, he still made a leap and did not give up.

At the same time, Sinclair, who followed up in the middle, ran directly to the space behind Otamendi.

The next second, Moussa Dembele won the aerial duel with a header that landed just in front of Sinclair.

At the right position of the front of the top of the arc, Sinclair took advantage of the situation and thought of Su Qiang suddenly.

But this time Zabaleta and Kolarov in the right rib area at the top of the arc reacted quite quickly.

The two quickly rushed in both directions, and in time came a closed door in front of Sinclair to defend.

Sinclair had no choice but to turn the ball back on the outside of his right foot and turn his back to the goal.

At this time, the area on the right side of Manchester City's backcourt was completely empty.

After Sinclair turned completely, Rogic in front of him ran diagonally towards the right half of Manchester City, and he immediately wanted to pass the ball.

But the next second he adjusted his position and was about to hit the ball, Chu Zheng slapped him.

Chu Zheng's choice of position amazed countless people!

This position accurately cuts off the passing line of Sinclair and Rogic, as well as Tierney on the other side.

Sinclair was also decisive enough to continuously dial the ball in circles on the spot, facing Kolarov in the right rib area at the top of the arc and preparing to make a breakthrough.

But soon Sinclair was out of control.

Before he started to rush inside, Otamendi and Fernandinho came back and completely blocked the middle of the inside.

Forced to do so, Sinclair turned the ball to the right with his right foot and broke through to the outside.

Kolarov found the right time to grab it, but Sinclair's foot frequency was faster than him, causing him to trip Sinclair with his foot.

"Oh, another free kick!"

"This position is a bit dangerous!"

"About 20 meters away from Manchester City's goal, just in front of the penalty area line!"

"Hey!" Zhang Lu laughed, "Sinclair's dribble today really caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City's defense."

"Yes, this is already the Celtics' fifth free kick in the first half!"

"It's all due to Manchester City's fouls in the backcourt!"

Surrounding the stands, seeing that the team had another chance to threaten Manchester City's goal, the Celtic fans cheered wildly again, which intensified the noise on the scene.

"To the right, a little to the right!"

"Chrissy, what about you!"

"OK! It's done!"

Bravo stood bent over the near post to command the wall on the right side of the penalty spot.

Chu Zheng saw two Celtic players standing on the left side of the wall, intending to tear down the wall and hit the far corner.

To be on the safe side, Chu Zheng came to the far right side of the human wall and stood beside Otamendi, protecting the near corner.

Sinclair and Rojic, who were on the left and right sides of the ball, frowned when they saw Chu Zheng appearing suddenly.

Especially Sinclair, with a helpless face.

Chu Zheng's position is just below the line he chose to hit the curveball at the close corner.

Chu Zheng is not tall, but his NBA-level bounce is really scary. He knows that it is unlikely that the ball can go around smoothly.

So Sinclair quickly gave Rogic a look on the right.

"Beep!" Not long after, the referee Rizzoli whistled.

Sinclair jumps over the ball on run-up, and Rogic takes the penalty with his left foot.

After Rojic's run-up, he directly slashed with his foot on the ground, and the ball went straight to the lower corner of the goal at the far point.

In front of the goal, Bravo chose his position accurately. When he fell to the right and flicked his right hand, the ball rubbed against the outside of the post and rolled out of the baseline.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed suddenly!

There was also a short exclamation in time!
Countless Celtic fans rubbed their heads and rubbed their faces with regret.

The penalty was too dangerous!
On the sidelines, Guardiola was also frightened and his heart was pounding.

The threat of the Celtics' free kick today cannot be underestimated, they are simply full of tricks.
