Green Journey

Chapter 462 Intense Hedging!

The reason why the heat of this game is not weaker than that of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona is precisely because Manchester City and Monaco have never met for the first time in the European elimination stage.

Guardiola and Jardim's battle records are also blank, so this makes the confrontation between the two sides full of uncertainty.

On the field, as the game progressed, the pace of the game between Manchester City and Monaco became faster and faster without knowing it, and in a blink of an eye they formed a confrontational trend.

In the 14th minute of the game, Manchester City got a throw-in opportunity near the center line on the right side of the half.

Walker took advantage of Jiang Lai and Bakayoko not retreating in front of him, and quickly threw the ball behind them.

Chu Zheng turned the ball around and followed it to his ribs.

Seeing Fabinho on the left rushing quickly from the center, Monaco's defense line should have been in the center. Glick was also brought to the center by Aguero's running, causing Glick and Monaco's right rib There was a huge gap between Sidibe, and Chu Zheng quickly realized that this was an opportunity.

In the next second, while Chu Zheng was running, he suddenly made a very concealed arc pass, trying to get the ball from Sidibe to Risane in the right rib area of ​​the top of the arc in Monaco.

At the moment of passing the ball, Sane on the other side of the rib started to speed up and went straight to the right rib area at the top of the arc in Monaco.

But Sidibe on the inside line on his right was not slow, and was very alert. He saw the gap between him and Glick in advance, and then quickly sprinted forward to the right.

However, the arc was pulled out by Chu Zheng, but the strength was slightly weaker.

As a result, the ball was intercepted before and after Sidibe.

"nice shot!!!"

"The idea is right, but the strength is not enough! It's a little smaller!" Zhan Jun laughed happily.

On the court, Sidibé cut the ball with his right outer instep, turned around quickly, and then swung his leg to split the ball to his right.

Bernardo Silva ran quickly from the center to the flank and got a pass from Sidibe.

De Bruyne quickly started to follow out laterally.

Near the center line, Bernardo Silva took the ball and entered the wing before turning around.

De Bruyne stretched out his foot to steal when he found the opportunity.

As a result, Bernardo Silva dunked the ball to the right with his left foot, sent the ball forward with his right foot, and avoided De Bruyne cleanly with fast foot movements.

Bringing the ball near the center line on the wing, Sane rushed back from behind him and slammed directly.

But Bernardo Silva's flexible kickback not only avoided Sane's attack, but also resisted Sane's impact, firmly protecting the ball under his feet.

At this time, Yaya Toure was already on the center line of the ribs. Seeing Bernardo Silva rushing horizontally with the ball, he just kicked up.

The result was kicked empty.

Bernardo Silva was too thieves, he was prepared, he poked the ball directly under his crotch, and then swiped past Yaya Toure with his waist down.

Then suddenly there was a scalpel thrust from the ribs to the middle.

The ball rolled from the front right side of Kompany, who turned and chased back, to Mbappe between him and Kyle Walker on the left.

The line and speed of this ball are so exquisite that Kompany can only stare blankly.

On the left side of Mbappe, Walker saw that the captain was helpless and couldn't keep up with Mbappe. He quickly prepared the coping strategy after Mbappe received the ball.

Before the free throw arc on the right, Walker squeezed to the right like a tank the moment Mbappe received the ball.

Mbappe couldn't bear the squeeze of Walker's body, and the dribbling line deviated to the right
When the two entered the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area, it was like a supercar Mbappe was directly shoveled by Walker's forklift to the wall of Otamendi who rushed back from the ribs.

In the next second, being caught by Walker and Otamendi, Mbappe lost the ball.

After sitting on the ground and seeing Otamendi clear the ball to his own backcourt, Mbappe was so angry that he smashed the lawn to vent his depression.

Mbappe glanced at Walker, who was panting wildly beside him, with a helpless expression. Basically no one in Ligue [-] could put him under such great pressure like Walker.

On the sidelines, Guardiola's heart was pounding and he applauded Walker for the third time.

Guardiola really didn't expect Walker to be able to do this to this extent today.

This time Walker's defense is also full of wisdom and experience, and the most commendable thing is Walker's calmness.

Walker didn't stretch his feet indiscriminately throughout the defensive process, he just focused on occupying the position and drove Mbappe away from the center until he hit Otamendi who was in the position.

Manchester City fans also gave warm applause!
Inspired by the applause, Manchester City soon launched a fierce offensive to retaliate.

In the 16th minute of the game, Fernandinho and Sane got rid of the defense of Mbappe and Bernardo Silva through consecutive two-person passes on the left side of the front court.

After turning around, Fernandinho quickly passed Sterling outside the upper corner of the penalty area.

Sterling took the ball and turned to face the penalty area, and was quickly surrounded by three Monaco players in a triangle position.

Sterling was not in a hurry, and after waiting for half a second, Chu Zheng appeared on the end line of the penalty area on the right rib at the top of the arc in Monaco.

Seeing that Chu Zheng was in place and then stepped into the Monaco penalty area, Sterling suddenly hit the ball horizontally, and then quickly moved forward behind Fabinho.

Just as Fabinho, Rajixun and Glick behind Chu Zheng were standing in a triangle position to encircle Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng didn't stop the ball.

Facing the fast rolling ball in front of him, Chu Zheng wiped the ball lightly with the inside of his left foot the moment the ball passed between his legs.

Immediately afterwards, the rolling line of the ball became parallel to the end line of the penalty area, and went straight to Aguero before the goal penalty spot.

"Oh hoo!!!"

"Chu Zheng missed it, the long-eyed series on the back of his head!!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu looked straight.

Chu Zheng's touch and omission is simply another stroke of genius.

This omission not only made Glick on his right back miss the air, but also took advantage of the opportunity to transfer the ball to the middle of the weakly defended penalty area for the first time.

At this time, there was no one on the other side of the penalty area, behind Aguero and Mendy next to him.

At the front of the top of the arc, seeing the ball roll horizontally towards Aguero, De Bruyne Fu was so heartbroken, he suddenly started to slant into the penalty area and hit his ribs.

Before the penalty spot, Mendy tried to push Aguero out of position to get the ball for himself.

But after the two met, Mendy felt that Aguero was short, but his body was hard, and he couldn't move the power from his body for a while.

However, when he was thinking about how to destroy the ball, or stuck Aguero to prevent him from turning around with the ball, Aguero's side also caught him by surprise.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aguero stretched out his left foot to hook the ball and lifted it up, and even missed the ball again.

"Later!!!"

"De Bruyne!! Opportunity!!!!!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu said in unison
At the back of the penalty area, De Bruyne slapped him.

Although Jiang Lai behind him is fast, his body is a big weakness, so that De Bruyne is stuck behind him and cannot squeeze forward.

Outside the upper corner of the penalty area, De Bruyne carried Jiang Lai behind him and pushed the ball.

In the next second, there was a bang, and the ball hit the outside of the far post and rebounded in front of the goal. Glick, who felt it in time, cleared the sideline.

"Foo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A huge exclamation resounded through the Etihad Stadium!
Seeing that his push was rejected by the goal post of his own stadium, De Bruyne covered his mouth with both hands, and his face was full of regret like countless Manchester City fans.

He felt good after the ball left his feet, but he didn't expect it to be in the center post.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Excellent cooperation, continuous leaks made Monaco's defense go round and round, but it's a pity that De Bruyne's luck is a little bit worse."

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu watched in great spirits.

Chu Zheng and Aguero's consecutive missed goals are simply a stroke of magic.

Coupled with Sterling's forward cover, the Monaco defensive players completely misjudged the direction of Manchester City's attack.

After this attack, the pace of the game continued to speed up, stimulating the fans in the stands around them to howl.

Manchester City is focused on attacking Monaco on the right, and Monaco is also wholeheartedly using high-position siege and group counterattacks to deal with Manchester City.

In the 17th minute of the game, Chu Zheng and Sane hit the wall to cooperate, and Sane received the ball from the bottom and then passed back in an inverted triangle.

Chu Zheng followed up and succeeded in pushing the shot, but Sane was offside first.

The goal was invalid, and ittihad wailed for a while!

In the 19th minute of the game, Fernandinho took the ball from the side and wanted to find Sane in the upper corner of the penalty area, but Bakayoko, who was chased back, looked back at the moon to clear the ball after taking off.

The ball fell to Fabinho on the wing.

Fabinho kept the ball and kicked a long pass.

In the right rib position of Monaco's middle circle, Mbappe reached the landing point ahead of schedule.

But Otamendi behind him is not slow.

As a result, Mbappe, who was back, rubbed his heel and stopped directly.

The ball was rubbed behind the two, and then Otamendi was eaten raw by Mbappé who catapulted off the start.

Fortunately, Kompany was there, and he quickly entered the ribs and blocked Mbappé's front left side, preventing him from cutting in to the center.

After entering the 30-meter zone, Mbappe was forced to slow down.

Seeing Falcao in the middle, Mbappe raised his foot and swung it. As a result, the chicken thief feinted.

After Otamendi, who was cheated and chased back, fell to the ground and slid in front of him, this guy calmly stuffed the ball to the ribs of the other half.

On the penalty spot, Walker quickly moved laterally, blocking Mendy who took the ball into the penalty area in time, and blocked Mendy's right foot and the shooting line from the far corner.

Seeing that he was about to miss the angle of the shot, Mendy had to use his left foot to shoot a close angle.

But it is a pity that the Chilean regent is not standing in front of Manchester City today.

Ederson, who blocked the near corner of the goal, quickly went to the ground, blocking Mendy's ground cut from the bottom line.

In a blink of an eye, Monaco sent a corner kick.

At the end, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho continued to fall off the top, allowing Mbappe to hammer the ball at close range.

It's a pity that Mbappe used his face, and the ball he hit directly hit the side net outside the goal, which almost scared the Manchester City fans to death.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Manchester City continued to hold the ball in the backcourt.

Monaco's side may have been a bit aggressive in the first 20 minutes.The rush was a bit fierce, so I needed to take a breath, and it was rare that I didn't press the high position in the frontcourt.

So Kompany and others made continuous left and right cross passes from the backcourt, slowly poured the ball to the center circle, and then split the sides again and developed to the left.

After attracting Monaco's defensive focus to the wing, Fernandinho, who took the ball on the center line, suddenly crossed to the right.

On the center line of the ribs in the middle circle, Chu Zheng stopped the ball with his right foot, and then quickly relayed with his left foot to attack with a long pass.

The ball was directly guided by Chu Zheng to the upper corner of the penalty area in the other half.

Sterling unloaded the ball perfectly, then went straight to the bottom, and then suddenly passed back to De Bruyne in the upper corner of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

After De Bruyne was in place, he directly passed the ball low and flat in an awkward posture.

Aguero had no one to follow up in the middle, and after following up, he shoveled directly in front of the goal.

But the line of the shot was too straight, the ball bounced off Subasic's thigh, and Raj, behind Aguero, made another timely clearance.

On the sidelines, Guardiola covered his face and shook his hands in annoyance.

In fact, starting from the 20th minute of the game, the rhythm of Manchester City and Monaco's offensive and defensive transitions has been dizzyingly fast, and it seems to have reached its peak.

Sometimes within a short 1 minute, Manchester City and Monaco can quickly complete an attack that threatens the opponent's goal.

This kind of fast-paced offensive battle has made countless fans who watched the game hooked.

Although it was already four o'clock in the morning in the country at this time, these domestic fans not only did not feel sleepy at this moment, but they still felt hot on their bodies.

If the match goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before a goal is scored.

Chu Zheng lived up to the expectations of domestic fans who stayed up late to watch football.

In the 28th minute of the game, Chu Zheng came to the left sideline to catch the ball.

Sidibe also quickly stepped forward, right in front of Chu Zheng's left, blocking Chu Zheng's route to the bottom line.

Facing the burly Sidibe, Chu Zheng didn't want to go head-to-head. Although he couldn't suffer, he probably couldn't take advantage of it too much.

And it is too close to the sideline, and it is easy to go out of bounds if you are not careful.

So Chu Zheng stood on the spot and swayed to the left and right, but Sidibe didn't hesitate to sway, and stuck to his position, which was evident from his rich defensive experience.

The next second, Chu Zheng straightened up again. Seeing that the insider Sane quickly plugged in and restrained Fabinho who was going to snatch him, Chu Zheng instantly had an idea in his mind.

Since you don't want to do simple feints, let's give Sidibe some more difficult ones.

Be careful, Chu Zheng suddenly pushed the ball with his left foot to his right foot, and then his body leaned sharply to the right.

Suddenly Sidibe was a little confused about Zheng's true intentions, and subconsciously took a step forward to the left.

As a result, this step opened a gap in the wing space behind him.

In the next second, Chu Zheng abruptly brought his center of gravity back, and then used his right foot to buckle the ball that had just rolled over from Sidibe's crotch who was moving.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zheng catapulted to the start, chasing the ball along the sideline.

Behind Sidibe, Fabinho's position selection is very subtle. He can not only fill Sidibe's position at any time, but also watch Sane behind him.

Seeing that Sidibe was broken through, he quickly followed up on Chu Zheng.

A second later, he replaced Sidibe and blocked Chu Zheng on the outside again.

At the same time, Sidibe and Bernardo Silva are also rushing.

Sane was also very clever. He quickly ran across the penalty area from the upper corner of the penalty area, and immediately took away Bernardo Silva, easing the pressure on Chu Zheng.

Seeing Chu Zheng lead the ball into a dead end, Manchester City fans felt extremely sorry, and some fans even felt that Chu Zheng was a bit too clingy to the ball.

This kind of ball should be passed back just now on the touchline to reorganize the attack.

However, in the next second, Chu Zheng, who was before the bottom line, suddenly pulled the ball back and brought Fabinho back.

After running one meter, Chu Zheng bumped into Sidibe head-on.

Sidibe seized the opportunity and went directly to grab it.

However, before Sidibe had time to stretch his feet, Chu Zheng turned around again, and when he stepped down, another catapult accelerated.

Although Fabinho was caught off guard, he still gritted his teeth and followed Chu Zheng from the inside.

When Chu Zheng came to the edge of the bottom line, Fabinho was blocking him in the front, and Sidibe was entangled in the back.

Seeing Sidibe swarming from behind Chu Zheng, Fabinho saw the opportunity and stepped forward to steal it.

But the moment he stretched out his foot, Chu Zheng seemed to have a premonition, and the outside of his right foot suddenly pushed the ball forward to the right, and he was about to rush past Fabinho.

Fabinho turned quickly.

However, the moment he turned around, Chu Zheng used the inside of his right foot to kick the ball to the baseline.

This time Chu Zheng not only rushed past Fabinho, but also caused the pendant Sidibe behind him to collide with Fabinho directly, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Oh hoo hoo!!!"

"Continuous changes of direction, Fabinho and Sidibe collided!"

"It's so flexible, neither of them can trap Chu Zheng!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu praised in the live broadcast room.

On the field, after crossing the penalty area line along the bottom line, Chu Zheng bumped into the Monaco player again.

Facing Bernardo Silva, Chu Zheng didn't make any procrastinating movements. A quick change of direction from left to right made the tall central defender Raj lose his center of gravity, standing upright like a felled tree He fell down, and then watched Chu Zheng knock the ball along the baseline and break through.

"Another one fell!!!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu continued to yell, feeling numb all over after being shown by Chu Zheng
On the field, after the third successful breakthrough, Chu Zheng had already come to the goal post. Seeing Subasiqi staring at him, Chu Zheng threw the ball back without thinking.

In the next second, Walker, who was inserted from the ribs, jumped to the back point at an extremely fast speed, smashed the hammer on Mendy's head, and hammered the ball in from the upper corner of the goal at close range.

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

“goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of a sudden, the Etihad Stadium exploded like a boiling oil pan poured with ice water, and the cheers were like stormy waves!
"Kyle Walker!!!!!!!" In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun also cheered,
"But at least 80.00% of the credit for the ball should be credited to Chu Zheng."

"Chu Zheng made continuous breakthroughs from the wing. He was so flexible that Fabinho and the three of them couldn't even touch the ball. In the end, they were brought into collision by Chu Zheng, and they both fell to the ground!"

Hearing Zhan Jun's words, Zhang Lu also smiled and said, "Chu Zheng's psoas muscles on both sides are particularly strong, and he can quickly change directions at any time."

"In addition, Chu Zheng's dribbling frequency is not only extremely fast, but also he touches the ball faster than others, making it difficult for defensive players to find a point where they can strike."

On the sidelines, Guardiola once again threw his fists and roared in celebration, and was once again conquered by Chu Zheng.

On the field, Walker ran a meter or two after scoring a goal, then quickly turned around to greet Chu Zheng, and after a while, Manchester City fans gathered in the right corner to celebrate wildly.
