Green Journey

Chapter 448 Wuhu!Jordan possessed!
"Judging from the current situation, Vertonghen's absence has a huge impact on Tottenham's defense.

Tottenham's three central defenders originally had a clear division of labor, but now that Vertonghen is away, no one is taking on the role of interception, making the defense often passive. "

"Currently, Manchester City's midfield is dominated by a large army. Guardiola's fast-paced thinking today hits Tottenham's goal."

"Without a tacit defense, Tottenham are now afraid of Manchester City's rushing style of play, and the position of Manchester City's players is too flexible, not only makes you unable to mark, but also leads to chaos if you are not careful. There were frequent defensive misses."

"And the frontcourt was also dragged down by the defense, which made Ali, Eriksson, Wanyama and Dembele unable to play."

"We know that the two sides of the three-center back system are very important, but Ben Davis and Danny Rose were so rushed by Sane and Sterling that they didn't dare to go up..."

Before Zhang Lu finished her analysis of Tottenham, Manchester City played the most ferocious offensive in the first half.

In the 25th minute of the game, outside the upper corner of the left penalty area, Kolarov took the ball and saw that the left half was full of Tottenham players. He moved directly to the right half.

Otamendi gets the ball and quickly advances along the ribs.

Seeing Sterling drop back along the ribs, he raised his foot and passed.

Sterling came to the center line of the ribs to catch the ball with his back, his speed decreased slightly, and Weimer directly pushed up behind him.

De Bruyne, who was on the right side of Sterling outside the arc of the center circle, saw that after Vermer came up, no one went to make up for the gap in the defense line near the arc of the center circle mentioned by Tottenham. He quickly started forward to contain .

His run directly attracted Alderweireld in the middle, causing the distance between Alderweireld and Dell to be instantly widened.

Aguero in the middle and Sane, who was inward from the left, appeared directly on the left and right sides of Dell, ambush Tottenham's defense.

On the center line of the ribs, Sterling accelerated again after taking the ball. Instead of turning around, he retreated first, then turned to the right, and brought Wilmer into a U-shaped turn.

Wimmer really can't keep up with Sterling.

When Sterling came outside the arc of the middle circle and faced the middle of the frontcourt, the opportunity appeared again.

Because Alderweireld's position was slightly behind, Tottenham's defense line to the left of the center, Aguero and Sane, who fell slightly behind Dell, were not in an offside position.

Seeing Wanyama on the left start to charge horizontally from the middle circle area, Sterling directly kicked through.

At the moment of passing the ball, Aguero was about to start it, but Dell didn't talk about martial arts, and after realizing the danger, he directly grabbed him and pulled him back.

The referee Marina directly blew his whistle, and then ran over to give Dell a yellow card warning.

"Manchester City's mutual movement coordination is almost perfect, and they are interlocking. Tottenham's defense line can't stand it at all." Zhang Lu exclaimed.

"Yes. If Dell didn't foul this ball, when Aguero receives the ball from between him and Alderweireld, it will be a single-handed ball."

"Tottenham are in trouble now. The two defenders in the three central defenders have received yellow cards..."

"Haha!" Zhang Lu shook her head and laughed.

On the field, this free kick is just outside the 30-meter area in the middle, about 35 meters away from the Tottenham goal, and it is directly facing the goal, which is not a good opportunity.

At the front of the penalty area, Tottenham were ready, and everyone withdrew.

Although Manchester City is not good at competing for high balls, the precise guidance of De Bruyne, Chu Zheng, and Kolarov cannot be underestimated.

Although Aguero is small, he has an extremely keen sense of smell in the penalty area and can often kick his head and kick for the ball.

After a while, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne stood on the left and right sides of the ball.

These two guys are biped monsters, and the Tottenham players can't tell who will take the penalty.

beep!
Whistle!

Chu Zheng kicked forward lightly with his right foot, and the ball was stopped by De Bruyne in front of him, and then Chu Zheng followed up with a long pass.

After the ball was vacated, it turned from the center to the left.

At the same time, Otamendi, in the left rib area at the top of the arc, took the lead in breaking through Tottenham's long snake array with his strong physical fitness.

At the landing point, in the upper left corner of the small penalty area, Otamendi met the ball without interference.

But this guy made an outrageous choice.

Obviously he could shoot directly, but Otamendi chose to take the ball to the right center, looking for Sane who was in the back.

As a result, the ball was caught and intercepted by Alderweireld, who was in the middle of them.

Guardiola was flammable and explosive on the sidelines.

Even Chu Zheng and De Bruyne shook their heads.

But there is no way, Otamendi is a central defender, so it is understandable not to choose to shoot.

If Sterling or Aguero and Sane catch up, the ball will be hit directly, so there are so many ideas.

On the sidelines, Pochettino has already begun to consider whether he needs to change his lineup in the current situation.

But for a while he was a little undecided.

It's not that simple to change the formation. If you are a little careless, not only will you not receive the effect of the formation change, but it will further deteriorate the situation.

But soon Chu Zheng helped him make a decision.

In the 27th minute of the game, after Chu Zheng, who retreated in the middle, got the ball from Yaya Toure, he saw that the left side of Tottenham’s backcourt was a little empty, and he suddenly kicked a long-distance low-level ball at the kick-off point With a direct pass, he directly found Zabaleta who was plugged in on the right.

Sabaletta saw Danny Rose approaching quickly from the ribs. He suddenly poked the ball into the penalty area with his feet, trying to overtake, but collided with Danny Rose and both fell to the ground.

Aguero took the ball in the upper right corner of the penalty area, followed by a bicycle, and then a fake shot, advancing continuously along the end line of the penalty area to the middle.

After successfully shaking out the shooting line, Aguero lifted his foot and shot directly from long distance.

This shot was powerful and heavy, and the angle was a bit straight. It went straight to the crossbar in the middle of the goal.

In front of the goal, Lloris saw that the ball was extremely fast, and Sane was in ambush on the left side of the penalty spot. In order to avoid losing his hand, he took off directly on the spot and dragged the ball out of the crossbar with one hand.

Chu Zheng came along the middle road, saw this scene, frowned, and then shook his head helplessly.

The ball De Bruyne was in the top area of ​​the arc, and everyone was attracted by Aguero to the right side of the penalty area.

At this time, as long as the ball is passed, De Bruyne's long-range shooting ability will definitely be more threatening than Aguero's own play.

But Aguero is a striker and his job is to shoot.

If he is selfless, it is a good thing, but you can't say that he did something wrong even if he is selfish.

And Chu Zheng can probably guess Aguero's recent mentality.

Since mid-November, Aguero's shot conversion rate has only been 11%, which shows his sluggish state.

In the past, he was the absolute No. 1 choice for the center position of the Manchester City team, but the arrival of Jesus made Aguero's position no longer so stable.

Jesus is sitting on the bench today, and Guardiola's intentions are obvious.

If you can't, then replace it.

So Chu Zheng can also understand the pressure Aguero is facing. He urgently needs to regain the state he had at the beginning of the season, so as to stabilize his position as the top striker in the Manchester City team.

In a blink of an eye, Manchester City's offensive resumed.

In the 29th minute of the game, Kolarov received a pass back from the front wing at Manchester City's left rib at the top of the arc.

But as soon as the ball stopped, Ali entered the ribs from the wing to press him.

At the same time, Harry Kane in the middle is also running towards the top of the arc, trying to cut off the connection between Kolarov and Riotamendi, the left rib area at the top of the arc.

After all, he is a seasoned veteran who can stand up to pressure.

This time Kolarov didn't hesitate. He first ran horizontally towards the top of the arc, and then turned the ball [-] degrees to the middle, keeping Arika on the left back all the way.

Coming to the front of the 30-meter area in the middle, seeing Dembele and Wanyama blocked in front of the arc of the middle circle in the middle, Kolarov was not going to continue to take the ball down, and decisively scored the ball to the right rib area .

After De Bruyne took the ball, he made a slight adjustment, and before Wanyama ran across from the left, he directly kicked his ribs.

But this time he passed too accurately.

In the frontcourt, Sterling used his speed to eat Weimer raw, leading by half a body.

As a result, the ball did not pass, but hit Sterling's left heel precisely, and then bounced upwards, allowing Wimmer to quickly clear the sideline.

Chu Zheng in the middle was very happy to watch, sometimes it's not a good thing to pass too accurately.

Soon, Zabaleta sent a throw-in ball.

Relying on the tacit pass and movement cooperation with De Bruyne and Sterling on the side, the ball continuously avoided the grabs of Wanyama, Ali, Danny Rose and others, and quickly developed to the rib area .

Seeing that there was no one around Chu Zheng in the middle, De Bruyne directly crossed Sterling's return pass.

After Chu Zheng took the ball, he quickly moved forward and directly attacked the weak side of Tottenham's defense on the left rib at the top of the arc.

From the center to bring the ball diagonally to the left rib area at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng fired with his left foot.

bang!
The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal like a fired shell.

In front of the goal, Lloris, who was very focused, quickly flew to save and blocked the ball out of the baseline in time.

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

Suddenly, there was a collective burst of exclamation at the Etihad Stadium!
"Chu Zheng's shot is of high quality, the point of aim and his position are very good."

"It's a pity, Lori is not Bravo, and he doesn't have the attributes of shooting to death!" Zhang Lu finished speaking, and Zhan Jun suddenly said something else.

"Haha!!!" Zhang Lu burst into laughter.

"Tottenham's five-man defense line is a bit deep this time. Only Wanyama and Dembele are left in the midfield, and Ali and Eriksen are back on defense, so they are four-on-four against Manchester City. Manchester City, who are good at controlling passes, will definitely have the upper hand."

"And when De Bruyne turned to Chu Zheng's side, the space at the front of the left rib area at the top of the arc was exposed."

"As for Tottenham, Wanyama and Dembele all lost their positions again because of the press, which really made Guardiola count as dead."

Soon, De Bruyne in the corner on the right raised his hand.

Tottenham's large penalty area is heavily guarded.

The front point is Yaya Toure, the center is left, Chu Zheng, and the back point is Aguero.

But Tottenham have enough defensive personnel, there are 10 people in the penalty area, and 11 people are really guarding the goal.

In the corner area, De Bruyne saw Chu Zheng, Yaya Toure and Otamendi, who was lagging behind in the penalty area, were about to be overwhelmed by Tottenham players. Leta sent a low ball.

On the free throw arc on the right, Zabaleta possessed his body, opened his right arm to maintain balance, and volleyed directly with his left foot while turning to the right side of his body.

And still cut with one foot sticking to the ground.

The ball stuck to the turf and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

"Oh yo!!!!!!!!!"

"Missed!!!!!!!!!"

"Lori is totally unresponsive!!!"

"Just a little bit, the ball just passed the outside of the post!" Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun exclaimed in LeTV's live broadcast room, their voices full of regret.

In the restricted area, seeing Zabaleta miss, Chu Zheng also covered his face with his hands, feeling very sorry.

On the sidelines, Guardiola also jumped on the spot in annoyance.

And Pochettino next to him was terrified at this time.

After making up his mind, Pochettino quickly walked to the sidelines, shouted at the Tottenham players on the field, and conveyed new tactical instructions.

In a blink of an eye, Tottenham changed.

Dell mentioned the midfielder before his position, and played 3 midfielders with Wanyama and Dembele, and changed to a 4321 formation.

Pochettino's intention is obvious, to get rid of Manchester City's suppression of them in the midfield, and to change to a four-back system for a solid defense.

Guardiola saw Pochettino change, and he always had a smile on his mouth.

For Pochettino's choice, he had already planned.

So Guardiola also stood on the sidelines and shouted at the Manchester City players on the field.

Soon, Manchester City's press became more aggressive, giving people a feeling of being reckless and not worried about being counterattacked by Tottenham.

Manchester City fans are very excited, they like this way of playing.

In the eyes of some Manchester City fans, Manchester City's defense is terrible anyway, and there is a card goalkeeper who shoots on target and dies.

Therefore, it is impossible to defend with a high probability. It is better to attack happily, heartily, and darkly, and the world is turned upside down.

Soon, Pochettino on the sidelines discovered that his changes did not have much effect.

Under the pressure of the full field, Tottenham players still made frequent mistakes on the field, and it was difficult to attack the front of Manchester City's penalty area.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Tottenham were robbed of the ball in their own half and couldn't get up, so they had to pass back to Lloris continuously.

Seeing that the Manchester City striker was getting closer and closer, Lloris received a return pass from the right side of the penalty area for the third time, and drove directly to the midfield without stopping the ball.

On the left side of the midfield, Clichy quickly arrived at the landing point to take off, and pushed the ball forward to Sane, who was also on the wing seven or eight meters away from the frontcourt.

Sane turned the ball around, but Ben Davies squeezed him out of the way, rubbing the bouncing ball towards his ribs with his chest.

Alderweireld was about to be snatched out of his psychological shadow. To be cautious, he raised his left foot and sent the ball directly back to Dembele in the left rib area of ​​​​the center circle.

But the ball has not completely fallen, Yaya Toure, who is behind Dembele, quickly jumped up and took the ball back to the Tottenham defense line in the middle.

Wimmer quickly moved forward to stop the ball.

But the ball hadn't even come to a stop before De Bruyne charged in front of him and promptly cut Vermer from Wanyama on his left front.

Wimmer thought that Wanyama would drop back to catch the ball, and he knocked the ball horizontally to the left without saying a word.

As a result, Wanyama stayed in place, causing the ball to pass directly to Sterling, who was also in the middle on the right side of Wanyama.

"A mistake again!" Zhan Jun exclaimed.

On the field, Sterling quickly put Wanyama behind him after taking the ball.

At this time in front of him is De Bruyne.

Seeing that Sterling successfully got the ball, De Bruyne quickly threw it away and ran to the right rib at the top of the arc to contain it.

Further up is Aguero, who sits between Alderweireld and Danny Rose.

Because Wimmer pushed out from the defense again, there was another four or five meters of horizontal space between Alderweireld and Danny Rose at this time.

As long as the ball is stuffed forward, Aguero is directly a single-handedly.

However, Sterling acted like a monster again at this moment.

Although he successfully resisted Wanyama's forward ball behind him, he may have been disturbed, resulting in a weak pass.

Aguero, who was before the top of the arc in the middle, was forced to slow down and wait for the ball.

After waiting, Aguero waited for Alderweireld and Danny Rose.

The gap in front of him was instantly blocked.

There is no way, Aguero had to give the ball to the front and back of the body and had to dunk to the left, avoiding Alderweireld's upper grab, and cross the belt to the left.

At this time, Chu Zheng was already in place in front of the penalty area line on the left rib at the top of the arc, and he pointed at his feet to let Aguero pass the ball over.

But Aguero's center of gravity was out of balance due to spiking at this time, and he couldn't score the ball immediately.

On the free throw arc, when Aguero regained his focus, Vermeer had already returned in front of him.

Alderweireld has also blocked the passing line between him and Chu Zheng who entered the penalty area.

Weimer snatched from the right back, but Aguero had already noticed it, and he dunked again with his left foot.

Wimmer couldn't stop the car and ran forward. When he turned around, Aguero had successfully sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

At this time, Tottenham's defense in the penalty area was chaotic again, resulting in Reed Browne being completely unmarked in the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area.

De Bruyne stopped the ball with his right foot, quickly adjusted, and quickly passed the inside of his right foot to the point.

Seeing the ball coming, Chu Zheng on the left side of the penalty area bounced off and knocked away Ben Davis next to him.

The moment he crossed the end line of the small penalty area on the left, Chu Zheng stepped forward with his right foot, kicked hard, raised his knees and rose into the air, facing the ball to the top.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!

What kind of fairy take-off height is this!
What about playing basketball on the football field?
Running on the football field to jump high?

boom!
A muffled sound!
At the front of the left post, Chu Zheng hammered from close range!

The jump height made all the fans who witnessed this scene tremble!

In front of the goal, Lloris flew to the right, but the distance was too close. He just stretched his hand to the upper right corner of the goal, and the ball had already flown into the goal.

“goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Chu Zheng, this is Jordan's possession!!!!!!"

"It has to be Chu Zheng! An unstoppable close-range explosive hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The fans at the scene and Zhan Jun in the live broadcast room shouted almost at the same time!

At this moment, the Etihad Stadium ushered in a long-lost tremor!

The voices of tens of thousands of fans cheered at the same time rumbled, and the cheers swept away in all directions like a stormy sea.

On the sidelines, seeing the goal, Guardiola jumped high on the spot, landed and punched hard to celebrate.

This explosive hammer has great visual impact and is completely violent aesthetics!

On the field, after the ball was hammered in, Chu Zheng went directly from the back of the goal to De Bruyne's side after hitting the ball, and the two hugged each other heavily.

This ball is so comfortable to hammer!

De Bruyne's ball pocket is absolutely perfect!
Next to Guardiola, Pochettino's face still has this horror.

He saw clearly just now that Chu Zheng's take-off height was simply speechless.

From Pochettino's point of view, Chu Zheng has jumped higher than the goal crossbar.

There is definitely more than 2.7 meters from the ground to the top of Chu Zheng's head, minus Chu Zheng's height of 185, which means that Chu Zheng's take-off height is above 85 cm.

Pochettino saw it clearly, and Chu Zheng took a short run-up.

If this kid is allowed to fully charge up and then jump, it will be fine, it will definitely break 3 meters, and the distance from the ground must definitely break one meter.

This jumping ability is simply terrifying!
