Chapter 380 Pochettino's fear of Chu Zheng!

With the passage of time, Guardiola's face in the sideline coaching area has become a little grim.

In the opening 5 minutes, the situation was extremely obvious, and their defense seemed a little out of sync before Tottenham's running and fighting.

Not only that, but the defensive line was also compressed very tightly. Facing Tottenham's rib penetration and looking down from the wing, there was nothing to do.

For a while, Guardiola was full of helplessness, and he was really afraid of something.

Although Guardiola guessed what tactics Pochettino would adopt before the game, he didn't expect this guy to be so crazy. He really deserves to be Bielsa's personal disciple.

On the court, Guardiola did not impose strict restrictions on Chu Zheng because he learned the lesson from the Celtics.

So Chu Zheng is free, he can do whatever he wants.

Seeing that the backcourt was robbed in a bit of a mess, Fernandinho and Fernando were busy fighting fires and filling holes, Chu Zheng simply withdrew to the backcourt to participate in the defense, and was going to stabilize the defense first.

There is no way, he can't get the ball if he doesn't come back, let alone attack.

At this time Chu Zheng missed De Bruyne a little bit.

When De Bruyne was on the field before, although the two of them pressed forward at the same time, they would also tacitly retreat to each other's midfield to help the team move forward.

Now that that guy is suddenly missing, Chu Zheng is really aggrieved.

Go back, although he can get the ball, but he can't connect the offense in the frontcourt immediately, he can only play forward layer by layer.

Don't go back, it's even worse, you can't get the ball, and it hurts to blow the air in front.

In the 6th minute of the game, Tottenham got a sideline kick from the right.

Kyle Walker tossed the ball straight to Sissoko in front of the top right corner of the box.

Chu Zheng was right behind him, and he pushed up directly, and within the time the two were in contact with each other, Sissoko was knocked to the ground by Chu Zheng.

The referee, Marina, watched not far behind the two of them, making no expression.

After Chu Zheng took the ball, he quickly started to move forward along his left rib.

Ali on Chu Zheng's right side quickly leaned over, trying to steal the ball.

As a result, Chu Zheng stepped forward and raced directly with Ali.

Ali is a talented player who has emerged in England in recent years, but his speed is really not what he is good at, and he was forcibly overtaken by Chu Zheng in a blink of an eye and left behind.

Soon, Wanyama was blocked on Chu Zheng's advancing route.

Chu Zheng glanced to the front left, and found that Aguero was almost parallel to Alderweireld. His speed suddenly faltered, and he lifted his right foot directly to the side.

The ball passed by Wanyama's left foot, but the tall Wanyama couldn't turn his center of gravity for a while, and could only watch the ball slip away from his feet.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ball turned along the ribs to the side, like a bent chopstick.

Alderweireld quickly turned around and moved to the side, trying to block Aguero on the sideline and buy time for other teammates to return to defense.

But as a central defender, although he has the speed to chase back, he is not enough in front of Aguero's speed.

And Chu Zheng's pass was very comfortable for Aguero.

Facing the ball coming in the forward direction, instead of slowing down, Aguero pushed the ball forward vigorously and accelerated again.

Three seconds later, Aguero entered the Tottenham penalty area from the left. Facing the goalkeeper Lloris who attacked in front of him, he directly pushed the far corner of the goal.

At the moment of Aguero's shot, Lloris stretched out his left foot to the left, but the ball brushed past the sole of his foot and missed the ball.

Suddenly Lori's heart skipped a beat. In the eyes of the experienced Lori, the ball was definitely within the range of the door.

At this moment, Vertonghen, one of the elders of Xuanming in Belgium, slapped his horse and accurately blocked Aguero's far corner shot from the bottom line in the small penalty area.

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

Seeing the end of the crisis, countless Tottenham fans in the stands all panted heavily. They were so nervous that they subconsciously held their breath just now.

"Chu Zheng passed the ball so beautifully!"

"Aguero also ran very timely!"

"It's a pity! Vertonghen came back just right!"

Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino was terrified, but at the same time he knew that this was Chu Zheng.

In this summer transfer window, Pochettino also has a strong interest in Chu Zheng who is still in Leicester City, but in the end he submitted a request to Levi to sign Chu Zheng but failed because he had no money and couldn’t afford it. , he had no choice but to give up chasing Chu Zheng.

In the player era, Pochettino played as a defender. He knew too well how terrifying and difficult a player with comprehensive skills like Chu Zheng was.

You compete with him for speed, and he is faster than you.

If you fight with him, he will be stronger than you.

You seal his foot, and others use that foot.

Even if you can block the opponent at the moment when they turn from defense to offense, they still have sharp breakthrough skills and passing skills.

Although Chu Zheng's breakthrough dribbling skills are not as high as Messi's, they still have their own characteristics. The weird rhythm changes and the heinously delicate little skills are simply the nightmare of all defensive players.

Mourinho once said a word to the media, that is, 'When you face Messi alone, then you are dead!It will definitely be passed! '

Pochettino felt that this sentence was also suitable for Chu Zheng.

Because Chu Zheng's surmounting success rate is also extremely high so far, most players can only be played when facing Chu Zheng's breakthrough.

Pochettino had a headache every time he encountered those players with comprehensive skills, because such players could not be restricted at all.

Soon, Manchester City corner kick,
Kolarov went directly to Chu Zheng who was at the previous point.

Chu Zheng failed to win the ball under the harassment of Alderweireld and Vertonghen, who are nearly 190 tall.

But after the ball was cleared by Walker, it fell to the right.

Navas quickly sprinted into the penalty area to get the ball, made a pass with his feet, and made a pass directly from the bottom. This is the trick he is best at.

Just as Chu Zheng was about to exit the penalty area, when he saw the ball flying over again, he quickly ran backwards and forwards, leaving behind Alderweireld who was standing beside him, who was sluggishly set off, and then relied on the strength of the run-up Take off, and hammer the ball towards the goal with a header in the air.

Seeing Chu Zheng's take-off height, the eyes of Vertonghen near Chu Zheng were straightened.

No matter how much he struggles with this kind of bounce that is at least 80cm off the ground, even if you give him a head, he won't be able to reach it!
In the next second, Tottenham came back from desperation!

The ball slammed on the crossbar with a bang and bounced directly back to the top of the arc.

Fernandinho rushed to the landing point at the first time, took off first, overwhelmed Eriksson, who was a step slower, and headed the ball back to Stones.

When the ball was stopped by Stones, Chu Zheng also retreated from the penalty area.

Seeing that Chu Zheng turned his back to ask for the ball before the top of the arc, Stones gave it without saying a word.

After Chu Zheng took the ball, Wanyama went up directly, but perhaps out of fear of Chu Zheng's breakthrough ability, he didn't dare to go up directly.

This was exactly what Chu Zheng wanted, and he directly split the ball to the right.

The moment Aguero received the ball with his back, Sissoko, Vertonghen, and Danny Rose quickly gathered in the upper right corner of the penalty area.

Being pushed from behind by Sissoko, Aguero not only did not miss the ball, but also turned around, facing the side, and quickly passed the ball to Navas.

Tottenham's response is also extremely fast, and they quickly perform their duties.

Danny Rose dropped quickly along the sideline of the penalty area, blocking Keylor Navas on the sideline.

Facing Danny Rose, Navas slowly dribbled the ball and forced Danny Rose back a little bit.

At this time, Chu Zheng in the middle ran around and forward in Tottenham's dense defensive position.

After Navas crossed the center line, he spotted Chu Zheng's fast-moving figure in the middle of the restricted area, and immediately understood Chu Zheng's intentions.

In the next second, Navas swung the instep of his right outer foot to the right suddenly, and after turning around, he quickly swept a low and flat ball in front of the near goal post.

Vertonghen was right in front of Chu Zheng, but he stretched out his foot and missed it. The ball was too sudden and extremely fast.

On Chu Zheng's side, facing the ball that jumped in front of him at once, he didn't stop the ball. Instead, he rubbed his right heel lightly at the moment the ball passed under his crotch, and the ball changed obviously. Line, directly to the lower corner of the back penalty goal.

Facing Chu Zheng's unconventional shot, Lori, who completely blocked the near corner, had no choice.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ball quickly rolled towards the other goal post.

In the next second, the ball hit the inside of the goal post and bounced towards Walker who was pointing back.

Walker was too scared to take the ball in his own penalty area. With a swing of his right foot, he kicked the ball directly to the left sideline. It was so frightening!
"Ah yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu exclaimed again!
"Chu Zheng's shot slipped past the goal!! What a pity!!"

"Genius-like imagination and creativity!!" Zhang Lu was amazed at Chu Zheng's performance every day!
On the sidelines, Guardiola held the marinated eggs in both hands. Although it was a pity, the team has obviously entered the game state, which is a good sign.

Next to the coaching area, Pochettino, like countless Tottenham fans, was so frightened by Chu Zheng that his heart missed a beat.
