Green Journey

Chapter 440 What kind of fairy efficiency is this!
At exactly 13:30 London time, with referee Clattenburg's whistle, the game officially started.

On the field, after the game started, Manchester City played not 4231, but 41212.

Aguero and Sterling are at the front, and Chu Zheng or De Bruyne are behind them.

Chu Zheng's position in today's game is the same as in previous Manchester City games. It is as flexible as ever, not limited to the center, and sometimes runs to the two sides, or the midfielder, or even the center position.

This is also a major feature of the team coached by Guardiola. The players do not seem to have a fixed position.

On Everton's side, Guardiola's old friend Koeman did not blindly shrink the formation to fight back.

Instead, they widened the width of the formation, actively sought physical confrontation, and tried to use their most powerful weapon to prevent Manchester City from passing and controlling on the ground.

But as the game time passed, Manchester City had an overall advantage and gradually retracted Everton's formation to their own half.

But even so, Everton relied on Lukaku, a bulldozer with a rocket engine, to counterattack quite well.

In the 10th minute of the game, Everton got a left corner kick, but took a tactical corner kick.

The ball was quickly pushed to the left rib area at the top of the arc.

Miralas quickly turned around after taking the ball, and kicked a diagonal pass before Sterling was on top.

But the ball failed to find Lukaku, and Yaya Toure headed to Aguero before the free throw arc at the top of the arc.

Aguero was very smart and alert with this ball. He guessed that there was an Everton player behind him, so he kept the ball and headed to the right.

The ball flew to Chu Zheng who rushed out from the right rib area at the top of the arc.

When Chu Zheng saw the ball coming, Tom Davis behind Aguero also rushed forward, and he turned around quickly.

In the next second, Tom Davis, who was only 18 years old, was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and directly bumped into Chu Zheng's left rear side, and was kicked and squatted.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zheng kept the ball on the spot and raised his leg to pad the ball to the left to Yaya Toure in the right rib area at the top of the arc.

Yaya Toure made a direct alley-oop. After taking off, he tried his best to head forward, and the ball went straight to the rib area six or seven meters away.

At the same time, Aguero and Chu Zheng, both on the ribs, chased the ball one after the other.

Seeing that Coleman quickly appeared in front of Aguero, Chu Zheng changed the line directly to the right, giving both the ball and the left to Aguero.

A second later, Aguero, who was holding the ball on the left side of Manchester City's half-time circle, was blocked by Coleman.

At the same time, Chu Zheng also inserted at high speed along the rib area from the inside line.

After Coleman discovered Chu Zheng's intention behind running, he panicked instantly.

At this moment, Ashley Williams rushed to Aguero in time, and Coleman quickly gave up Aguero after seeing it, and followed Chu Zheng instead.

When Aguero took the ball across the center line from the side, Chu Zheng in front had already circled back to the side.

Seeing that the passing time was ripe, Aguero directly kicked the ball from the side.

The moment the ball was passed, Chu Zheng accelerated again.

Suddenly, Coleman, who is known for his explosive power and fast speed in the Everton team, was directly blasted to pieces by Chu Zheng.

On the outside of the upper left corner of the penalty area, Chu Zheng, who left Coleman behind, met the ball and directly made a low and flat cross pass.

Baines returned to the penalty area from the left side of the top of the arc but could only watch the ball roll past him. Chu Zheng's choice of passing route was as perfect as ever.

In the next second, the ball continued to the right and came to the feet of Sterling before the penalty kick in the middle.

Facing Robres who was attacking, Sterling shot directly over the top when the left and right shot angles were blocked.

In the next second, there was a burst of loud laughter at Goodison Park.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sterling directly picked the ball to the back of the goal. The ball was at least one meter high from the crossbar, which was a big distance away.

Seeing that Sterling was happy again, Chu Zheng was so angry that he cursed his mother in Sichuan dialect.

Guardiola was also so angry that he directly covered his face.

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also speechless.

"The ball Robres came up very timely, he completely compressed the ball holding space in front of Sterling, and the two shot angles on the left and right were also very good, which caused Sterling to only catch the ball. Take a hasty shot, or the ball will be thrown away." Zhang Lu, who was born as a goalkeeper, cheerfully analyzed.

But in fact, with Sterling's technical level, he can handle this kind of ball, but now he flies the ball. It can only be said that Sterling has a problem with his mentality.

"I just like watching him play football, I'm very happy!" Zhan Jun grinned ironically.

"Haha!" Zhang Lu was overjoyed.

After this attack, Manchester City continued to suppress Everton. The offensive was like a wave, really a wave.

Sterling finished Aguero's wave, Aguero finished Sterling's wave, and there was a wave in the wave.

As a result, the waves come and go, bringing man-made disasters and bad luck to the waves.

Under the pressure of Manchester City, Everton's first shot did not come until the second half of the first half, but it turned out to be a hit and hit the tenth ring directly.

In the 36th minute of the game, Coleman was entangled by Clichy on the right side of Everton's backcourt.

Coleman, who was cautious, took the ball to the sideline and directly kicked up a long pass to the center circle.

Lukaku in the middle quickly retreated and returned the ball to Ross Barkley on the arc in the middle circle in front of him.

After Barkley stopped the ball, he swung his right foot in slow motion, and after Lukaku got in place, he quickly sent a through ball forward.

But the intention of passing the ball was too obvious and was seen through by Otamendi on the right side of Lukaku.

Otamendi swung his right leg backwards, blocked it with his calf, and the ball flew to the right and fell towards Stones in the ribs.

Finding Miralas grabbing from the left back, Stones directly headed the ball to Yaya Toure's feet in the middle of the front.

As a result, Miralas still did not give up, and rushed over again.

Yaya Toure also headed the ball back to Stones without stopping the ball.

Stones quickly turned the ball around and blocked Miralas, who was rushing back, before he controlled the ball and pushed it to Chrissy on the wing.

In the face of Coleman's menacing attack, Clichy directly passed forward.

In Everton's half, on the right side of the circle, Chu Zheng, who was not prepared at all, was so angry that he vomited blood at Clichy's kick.

Seeing that Davis intercepted the ball directly in front of him, Chu Zheng really wanted to open Chrissy's brain to see if it was brains or paste.

Are you blind?
Can't you see someone in front of him?
Risky passing can't be so risky, isn't this sending the ball to the opponent!
In front of the center line of the ribs, Davis took the ball and took a U-shaped turn and moved forward quickly.

Chu Zheng chased back quickly, and Davis chased up from the left side of the inside line as soon as he ran two meters.

At this moment, Davis suddenly sent a scalpel-like thrust through his ribs with his right foot, giving Chu Zheng no time to stretch his foot at all.

The ball passed impartially between Chrissy on the wing and Stones on the ribs, and went straight to Miralas who advanced from the right rib area at the top of the arc.

Yaya Toure quickly followed up the penalty area. He wanted to cut off Miralas's pass to the center inside.

But as soon as he ran to the left back of Miralas, Miralas passed the ball.

Yaya Toure stretched out his feet, his long legs were long enough, but he was a step slower.

On the right side of the top of the arc, Lukaku quickly pressed into the penalty area and received an inverted triangle cross from Miralas on the right side of the penalty spot.

Lukaku is very clever, he stops with his left foot so he can hit the goal directly.

When he swung the ball towards the goal, Otamendi in front of him had just turned back, his feet were crossed, and he couldn't extend his feet to block it.

At this moment, Otamendi's shortcoming of turning slowly was once again exposed to the public's attention.

Next to the right post, facing Lukaku's close-angle shot with a straight line, Bravo, who slammed sideways to the lower left, leaked the ball from his armpit into the goal in a way that stunned everyone.

"Let's hit it directly!!!!!!"

"pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"It was Everton's first shot in the first half and it went straight in!!! Incredible efficiency!!!!"

"It's still Lukaku, this is his 12th Premier League goal this season!"

"Everton recently scored 6 goals against Manchester City, and Lukaku scored 4 goals alone!!"

"Little monster!!! Lukaku!!!!!!"

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

Witnessing the birth of the goal, Goodison Park stadium boiled instantly, and nearly [-] Toffees fans reveled in joy!
On the field, amidst the cheers of the fans, the little monster Lukaku opened his arms and looked around the stands, nodding constantly. This is a celebration.

On the sidelines, Koeman jumped directly from the coach's bench, and then rushed into the coach's area with his arms raised high.

Guardiola, on the other hand, looked constipated.

After a long time, Gua Shuai let out a long breath, and then took a sip of water.

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun shook their heads. Manchester City's defense line was like a piece of paper under Everton's extremely simple attack.

Clichy's false pass was the fuse, and Otamendi's turn and Bravo's save were even more catastrophic.

Pushing the goal at this angle, the speed of the ball is not very fast, but Bravo still missed the ball.

Now Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun know why Guardiola wants to buy a goalkeeper again.

Caballero's departure at the expiration of his contract may only be a secondary factor. The main factor may be that Guardiola has been extremely disappointed with Bravo.
