Chapter 410 Coquettish Assist!
After the game restarted, it was soon discovered that Manchester City, which had a balanced attack on the three lines, shifted its offensive focus to the right.

Chu Zheng and De Bruyne also frequently appeared in the right half, pressing, connecting, organizing, and suppressing Chelsea on the left through a wide range of running.

Conte on the sidelines quickly noticed Guardiola's intentions, and then began to have a headache.

Conte is well aware that Guardiola has changed his tactics again and bared his fangs at him.

This is to suppress their very active left attack through a fierce right-leaning offensive, and at the same time attack Fabregas, the left midfielder, who is even further back than Kanter.

But Conte didn't have a good coping strategy for a while.

Because this is a natural hidden danger brought about by his formation.

With Fabregas' defensive ability, he can't provide effective protection for the left, but he can't withdraw Fabregas yet.

Because he chose Cesc Fabregas and Kanter today for a purpose.

Today he came to the Etihad Stadium not for defending, but for 3 points.

Thinking of this, Conte's head hurts and his heart is extremely tormented.

Before the game, he knew that Guardiola was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect Guardiola to have so many tricks, so difficult to deal with.

Before today, he and Guardiola had never played against Guardiola in their player or coaching careers.

But now Conte knows why Guardiola is famous all over the world, and why he is called the tactical master of today's football.

As long as this guy makes a move, he will come to your life.

Soon, what Conte worried about happened.

In the 35th minute of the game, Kolarov's wing advance was blocked and he passed back in time to Fernandinho, who was on the left side of the center circle.

Fernandinho looked in front of him and found that the Chelsea players blocked the sideways. He knew that the probability of trying to penetrate Chelsea's defense from this side and threaten the goal was not high.

Immediately afterwards, Fernandinho directly kicked his big foot and made a long pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Navas quickly retreated to the sideline to unload the ball.

Seeing that Alonso has come to the front, guarding against his crosses and inside cuts, Navas passed back to Chu Zheng at the front of the right rib at the top of the arc without saying a word.

Chu Zheng stepped the ball forward with his right foot, then lowered his head and swung his legs sideways to follow up, making a 45-degree cross directly.

The moment Chu Zheng passed the ball, Aguero and Sane on the left side of the penalty spot quickly started to move.

Sane ran to the front of the middle of the small penalty area, while Aguero ran back to the front of the small penalty area.

In the next second, the ball flew over and fell straight to the back.

Aguero pressed Moses and hit the ball with his forehead.

The ball bounced in the middle of the small penalty area, and then, like a bolt of lightning, went straight to the right side of the goal.

The ball was so close that Courtois had no time to make a save and could only watch the ball bounce off his left side.

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

Seeing Aguero's header hit the right post of the goal and fly out of the baseline, countless fans were so frightened that their livers trembled.

Soon, Manchester City made a comeback.

In the 38th minute of the game, Otamendi's right rib in the middle circle received a cross from the left rib Gundogan and then dribbled the ball in, and distributed the ball to Chu Zheng on the right.

After Chu Zheng took the ball, he saw that the two lines of Chelsea at the front of the penalty area were very close together. The players kept a good gap between each other, and there was almost no gap for them to pass the ball. Chu Zheng knew that it was difficult to penetrate from the ground. .

Therefore, if you want to threaten Chelsea's goal, you still have to take the air route.

So Chu Zheng dribbled the ball horizontally and pushed towards the middle.

Kanter, Cesc Fabregas and others on the midfield defense line were very cautious, so they stood firmly and let Hazard follow Chu Zheng horizontally.

On the outside road in the upper left corner of the restricted area, Sane stood alone.

Seeing Chu Zheng dribbling the ball horizontally, he didn't react at first, but soon he guessed Chu Zheng's intention.

In the next second, Sane suddenly started, first running horizontally along the line of the big penalty area, and then suddenly turned left to the front area of ​​the upper left corner of the small penalty area.

Moses, who was near him, was thrown behind by Sane.

Sure enough, the next moment he started, Chu Zheng, who brought the ball to the middle, suddenly drew the ball towards Chelsea's penalty area with his left foot.

The landing point is at the front of the upper left corner of the small penalty area, in the direction Sane is heading.

At the same time, at the front of the small penalty area, Sane and Aguero played two against one.

Aguero at the front of the small penalty area in the middle is completely unguarded.

As long as Sane passes the ball, with Aguero's shooting skills, 90.00% of them will be a goal.

However, this is the perspective of the live broadcast and the fans in the stands.

On Sane's side, when he was in position, he found that Courtois and Azpilicueta, who was stuck between him and Aguero, were in an exquisite position.

As long as he passes the ball in front of Azpilicueta, Courtois, who is a little closer to the goal post, has every chance to catch it.

So Sane didn't dare to pass it on like this.

So under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sane took off before landing, and used the inside of his left foot to pad the ball from behind Azpilicueta to the middle.

Aguero also made two-handed preparations here, and did not overrun.

Seeing the ball bounce from behind Azpilicueta, he quickly adjusted his posture and volleyed directly with his left foot.

But it's a pity that Aguero played the ball too positively and failed to threaten Courtois. Azpilicueta, who moved laterally, successfully blocked the ball with his thigh, and then the ball was blocked by David Luiz. Clear the sideline.

At the front of the arc, Chu Zheng rubbed his face with his hands when he saw that the ball still missed.

Two-on-one can still make people block the ball back, what else can he say.

Sane gave the ball quite smartly and beautifully, Aguero did not delay the opportunity, but he lacked a little luck, and Azpilicueta was in good condition.

In the stands, the Manchester City fans were also so angry by the ball that they hugged their heads in annoyance.

Guardiola almost knelt on the sidelines. Chu Zheng almost fed the ball into his mouth, but Aguero and Sane still spat it out abruptly.

Sane handled the ball very well, and Guardiola is beyond reproach.

But Aguero really made Guardiola helpless.

This guy didn't look very excited today, and compared to the previous period, his state seemed to have declined again.

Aguero's ups and downs can really give Guardiola a headache, but he has no choice.

There is Iheanacho on the bench, but compared with Aguero, the young Iheanacho is still a bit far behind.

"During this period of time, Manchester City's attack from the right suddenly suppressed Chelsea's active left, and also restricted Hazard's performance."

"According to the data, during the period when Manchester City changed its offensive line, the percentage of Manchester City's offensive third line attack on the right has almost reached 50%."

"Guardiola's on-the-spot adjustment is still very effective, making Chelsea very nervous."

"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded, "The reason why Chelsea fell into a disadvantage all of a sudden has something to do with their own tactical weaknesses."

"First, Hazard's main offense is not defensive, which puts the left wingback Alonso under tremendous pressure."

"Especially after Manchester City's offense was heavily skewed to the right, Alonso's pressure can be said to have doubled several times."

"The second is Cesc Fabregas, who plays the left midfielder. His position is even further back. Kante is sweeping back and forth in front of him for protection today. This makes Chelsea's weak left defense even worse."

"The last point is that the Chelsea defender's turning ability is weak."

"Look at Chu Zheng's two long passes, he directly missed the gap behind him, and the pass was extremely accurate, which made the Chelsea defender panic when he retreated to defend the back ball." Zhang Lu said clearly that the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. reason.

Zhan Jun repeatedly nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Guardiola is now aiming at Chelsea's ribs, focusing on the gap between the three center backs and the wing backs. Just now, Moses was hit straight by Chu Zheng, and he was completely caught. Sane swung away."

On the sidelines, Conte was a little restless at this time, walking back and forth in the coaching area, frowning, and yelling at the players on the field from time to time.

One thing about Conte is actually very similar to Guardiola, that is, neither of them is the kind of taciturn head coach who stands on the sidelines. Both of them pay special attention to the details on the field, so they often stand on the sidelines to remind the players on the field in time .

Now Conte only hopes that the first half will end as soon as possible so that he can make comprehensive adjustments. He needs to revise his tactics.

No way, Conte has to admit that he lost a little in the confrontation with Guardiola today.

Now Conte only hopes that the team can keep the score, so that his tactical choices in the second half will be more calm.

But soon Conte's hopes were dashed.

In the 41st minute of the game, Chelsea, whose left attack was basically abolished, launched an attack from the right.

But when they hit outside the penalty area of ​​Manchester City, Chelsea made a pass and run error. The ball was passed directly from the right rib to Stones on the penalty area line of the left rib at the top of the arc.

After losing the ball, he quickly launched a high-position press in the frontcourt.

But the Chelsea players have not forgotten the streamlined tactics of Manchester City's long pass and direct attack behind them.

Therefore, the players in Chelsea's defense were not too deep.

As a result, because of this, there was a sudden disconnect between Chelsea's defense line and the sudden forward midfield line, leaving a huge vertical space between the two lines.

In the right rib area at the top of the arc, Stones showed off his footwork again after taking the ball, which really made him show off.

Facing the defensive rookie Hazard's grab, Stones slammed to the right, then started, squeezed Hazard away with his body and rushed over.

After breaking through Chelsea's first pressing line, Stones quickly sent the ball to Chu Zheng, who was more than 40 meters in the middle.

Seeing the ball coming, Chu Zheng quickly turned his back and prepared to stop the ball. He knew very well that behind him was a large grassland where he could gallop freely.

At the same time, Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, and Kanter surrounded Chu Zheng from the left rear, right rear and right rear. These three were also aware of the danger.

Alonso and Cesc Fabregas reacted quickly, and immediately approached each other, trying to close the door behind Chu Zheng and let Kante go.

At this time, Chu Zheng, with his back on his back, actually didn't have a good choice.

Once he turns around, there is a high probability that he will be blocked by Alonso and Fabregas.

There was no one on the left flank. Navas had retreated too far just now and hadn't caught up yet.

There are Manchester City players on the right flank, but this side was the main line of Chelsea's attack just now, and there are still many players at this time. Once the ball is transferred, with Chelsea's pressing ability, the ball may not come out.

After quickly making a judgment on the situation, Chu Zheng also made his choice.

Forcibly break through from behind!
When the ball came in front of him, Chu Zheng didn't stop the ball, but turned around first, making people feel as if he was about to leak the ball from the left side to his front.

Turning around to face Cesc Fabregas and Alonso, seeing that they hadn't had time to fully close the door, Chu Zheng instantly realized that a breakthrough was possible.

In the next second, Chu Zheng, who was sideways, first stopped the ball with his left outer instep, giving people a feeling that he was about to turn his body back again.

Alonso, Cesc Fabregas and Kanter were confused by Chu Zheng's sideways movement to stop the ball.

Alonso believed in his own judgment, and he chose to go straight to the grab.

Fabregas was a little confused. He couldn't make a judgment and chose to occupy his position.

Kanter thought that Chu Zheng was going to pass back to Fernandinho, who was following up at the top of the arc, and quickly turned to the passing line of Chu Zheng and Fernandinho.

However, in the next moment, after Chu Zheng stopped the ball, he suddenly started sideways, leaning forward severely, as if he was about to fall.

At the same time, Chu Zheng didn't stay idle. Instead, he used the inside of his left foot to lead forward, and even dribbled the ball through the middle of Alonso and Fabregas.

After a successful breakthrough, Chu Zheng had no choice but to support himself on the ground with one hand because his body was leaning forward severely. Then, the core strength of his feet and waist and abdomen exploded at the same time, and he quickly straightened up. .

"Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Immediately, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun shouted in unison!
On the sidelines, Guardiola also felt the adrenaline soaring at this time, and his heart was beating wildly, like a sculpture, his eyes moved with Chu Zheng.

Next to him, Conte's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wished he could bring a knife to the stage and kill the three super stupid people who were played around just now.

On the court, Chu Zheng advanced the ball at high speed and entered the center circle area. The three Chelsea central defenders in front of him retreated in a line.

At this time, using Chu Zheng as a reference point, De Bruyne is on the right front, Aguero is on the left front, Sane is on the left, and Navas with two legs thrown out is behind him on the right.

Seeing this five-on-three situation, the Manchester City fans cheered and cheered continuously at the Etihad Stadium.

As for the Chelsea fans, a bad idea popped up in everyone's mind at the same time, as if they had seen the upcoming scene in advance through the long river of time.

On the court, Chu Zheng, who has a nearly perfect combination of human and ball, is so fast that his blood is spurting. He perfectly interprets what speed and passion are.

In a few blinks, Chu Zheng dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area at the top of the arc.

At the same time, De Bruyne, Aguero, Navas, and Sane also tried to break up the three groups of Chelsea through tacit running.

But Cahill, David Luiz, and Azpilicueta remained unmoved and still lined up firmly to block the middle.

Chu Zheng knew what the three of them were up to, so he took the initiative to take the ball to the right rib area at the top of the arc.

This change in the dribbling route directly forced David Louis, who was at the front of the top of the arc, to push forward, and formed a layered front and back defense with Cahill, trying to surround Chu Zheng on the right side of the top of the arc.

Chu Zheng also did as David Luiz wished. He brought the ball into the right rib area at the top of the arc, and then gave the ball to De Bruyne on the right.

After splitting the ball, Chu Zheng quickly moved forward in the middle of the penalty area.

At this time, the three of Cahill were completely brought to the right side of the penalty area and retreated behind the end line of the penalty area.

Seeing Chu Zheng's movement, De Bruyne probably guessed that Chu Zheng wanted to cooperate with him.

But at this time, Azpilicueta and David Silva were blocked on the left and right in front of Chu Zheng. He had no direct line at all, so he had to pass the ball behind Chu Zheng.

De Bruyne is well aware that Chu Zheng has a super brain that is different from ordinary people, even Chu Zheng can handle the ball behind him.

Even if Chu Zheng really didn't catch the ball, he could still pass it to Sane who followed up from his left rib.

So De Bruyne didn't stop the ball, and passed the ball directly behind Chu Zheng with the inside of his right foot in the upper right corner of the penalty area.

At this time, Chu Zheng, who entered the penalty area from the top of the arc, faced Azpilicueta who was coming up in front of him.

Azpilicueta quickly headed out, stretching his feet to get ahead and destroy the ball.

As a result, the moment he rushed out, Chu Zheng, who was running, quickly turned around, from facing the goal to facing away from the goal.

After successfully turning around, Chu Zheng, who was leaning back a little, stretched out his right foot, grabbed the front and rubbed his toe with a hook, and the ball changed its line, causing the ball, which was heading towards the left rib of the top of the arc, to bend forward. To the left rib of Chelsea's penalty area.

In the next second, Sane, who was always unguarded, followed up and volleyed the ball from the upper left corner of the small penalty area without any pause.

Immediately, the ball was like a white lightning, and went directly into the goal from the upper corner of the near post, making Courtois stare again.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Witnessing Chu Zheng's magnificent 360-degree turn and the ball showing off the sky, the Etihad Stadium once again erupted like a volcano, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to its peak.

"The goal has been scored!!!!!!!!!!" In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu raised their arms and shouted again at the moment the goal appeared!
"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star!"

"Chu Zheng's nearly 70-meter wave-riding attack successfully assisted Sane!!!"

"This is Sane's first Premier League goal!"

"Chu Zheng's turn around is simply amazing. He directly rubbed the ball in front of Sane, allowing Sane to hit without slowing down!" Zhang Lu's tone was also very excited, "This is what Guardiola wants, just like A smooth attack like mercury pouring down the ground!"

On the field, after Sane scored a goal, he jumped directly onto Chu Zheng's back and swung his right arm in circles to celebrate.

Chu Zheng fed the ball so comfortably, he swung the ball in without any adjustments.

On the sidelines, Guardiola smiled like a chrysanthemum. Excited, he rarely waved to the fans in the stands, indicating that the cheers should be louder.

Manchester City fans love this bald guy so much at this moment, and they responded one after another. For a while, the cheers at the Etihad Stadium were deafening!
Next to him, Conte let out a long breath. When he encountered such a monster player, he felt nothing but helplessness.
