I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 101 Aguero: I really just want to score one goal!
Aguero kicked the ball to Zhao Jinge, and immediately ran to Leverkusen's penalty area. Before turning around, he gestured to Zhao Jinge, which meant to pass the ball to him more.

Recently, Aguero has fallen into a trough in his career. He has failed in several consecutive games. He didn't even score a goal in the last time he played against Sunderland in the English League Cup.

The sudden shortage of goals and the fact that the new kid on the team scored goals like drinking water, this series of events made the former Manchester City striker feel a huge crisis.

My buddy is only 28 years old this year. At this best age, you won't encounter Waterloo in your career!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. Aguero held a small meeting with Zhao Jinge, De Bruyne, David Silva and other midfielders before the game.

Theme of the meeting:
Help our Mr. Aguero find his lost shooting boots!
Of course, Zhao Jinge and others agreed to his request, so today's Manchester City game has another pursuit besides victory, to help Aguero break the scoring shortage!

Zhao Jinge returned an OK gesture, and then took the ball to make a dash on the right side, attracting Leverkusen's defensive formation to the right side of the court, and then passed the ball back to De Bruyne in the middle.

Several midfielders of Leverkusen immediately gave up the siege of Zhao Jinge, turned around and forced towards the middle.

De Bruyne, of course, would not risk his life. After receiving the ball, he moved directly to the left and handed it over to David Silva who advanced forward.

But Leverkusen right-back Wendell immediately blocked David Silva's forward line, forcing the latter to pass the ball back to Yaya Toure who pressed past the center circle.

Yaya Toure rushed into Leverkusen's heart with the ball, and De Bruyne followed behind to respond at any time.

In less than 1 minute of the opening, Manchester City's entire midfield has overwhelmed Leverkusen's 30-meter area.

After Yaya Toure and De Bruyne passed the ball back and forth, the ball was passed to David Silva on the left.

When the Manchester City left winger stopped the ball, he was already close to the left top corner of Leverkusen's big penalty area.

Taking a glance at his own attacking situation, David Silva sent a through ball towards the front of Leverkusen's box.

Yaya Toure used his body to support Leverkusen's midfielder Lars Bender's tackle. After stopping the ball with his back, he passed the ball sideways to the right side of the penalty area.

Zhao Jinge, who ran well, took the lead to return the header and headed the ball towards the back of Leverkusen's penalty area.

There, Aguero, who succeeded in anti-offside, snatched the football's landing point before the pharmaceutical factory center back Papadopoulos, and made a swift rush to the top!

At this time, Leverkusen's defensive players, including their goalkeeper Leno, had just withdrawn their attention from Zhao Jinge.

As they refocused on where the ball landed, Aguero headed it hard.

"Leverkusen defenders reacted a beat slower! They missed Aguero at the back! Great opportunity!"

The entire Bayer Stadium fell into extreme tension, and only a small number of Manchester City fans who came from the expedition let out ecstatic roars, as if they were celebrating an upcoming goal.

With a "bang", the dull sound of the football colliding with the crossbar saved all Leverkusen fans from the suffocating tension.

After a short respite, the fans of the home team started cheering again with the joy of surviving the disaster.

"To this group of upstarts in the UK, see how powerful we Germans are!"

"Counterattack, give them some color!"

"Let them know that the Bayer Stadium is not a place where they can run wild!"

All kinds of inflammatory slogans were rampant in the home team stands on the pitch.

"Although no goal was scored, Manchester City's opening attack still gave Leverkusen a hard blow!
Now they are all mad!Look at the roaring posture of their fans, I can't wait to tear up the Manchester City players on the field! "

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray loudly explained the situation in the stadium:

"Aguero looked annoyed behind the center post, but he quickly adjusted and gave the first praise of the day to Zhao Jinge who passed the ball!

It seems that the feelings of several Manchester City forward players are also quite good! "

The football flew over the crossbar, and Leverkusen's goal kick was quickly taken. In order to avoid Manchester City's high-pressure press, goalkeeper Leno sent the ball with a big kick across the half.

After Charhanoglu stopped the ball in the frontcourt, he passed it to "Little Pea" Hernandez who came back to meet him.

But just when Hernandez was about to start dribbling the ball, Fernandinho quickly went up and a lateral sliding tackle intercepted the ball.

Yaya Toure, who was back on defense, immediately stepped forward to control the football under his feet, and after a little adjustment, he sent out with a long kick. Zhao Jinge, who was returning to defense on the right, immediately turned around and counterattacked!
Yaya Toure's long ball was delivered to the forward line after his turn.

Toure's pass was a little stronger, and the football flew straight to the depths of the right wing.

Zhao Jinge put his head down and ran wildly for seven or eight steps. Before Leverkusen's midfielder Kramer, a horizontal knock after falling to the ground sent the football across the middle.

Then he pushed his left hand, without looking at Kramer in front of him, immediately stood up on the spot and rushed to the core of Leverkusen again.

Zhao Jinge's desperate style made Leverkusen coach Schmidt frown on the sidelines.

Not seen for a few months, this young man who once stunned the Bundesliga has become stronger.

Since Manchester City was drawn in the Champions League draw, Schmidt has given up little hope of qualifying for the group.

I just want to grab the No.3 position in the group and play in the knockout round of the Europa League. There is no way to leave Barcelona, ​​the defending champion, for the time being.

The twin stars of Manchester City alone were about to blind his eyes, and finally sent the pair of evil stars away in the Bundesliga, but unexpectedly, they met again in the Champions League.

Schmidt was simply dumb, unable to tell what he was suffering from.

After seeing the results of the lottery, he almost smashed the TV in the team's meeting room. Who the hell can bear two big daddies in one team!

On the court, De Bruyne received a pass from Zhao Jinge and began to advance along the middle.

Leverkusen's midfielder Kampl and Lars Bender hurriedly posted in the direction of De Bruyne's advance, trying to block his forward path.

But as a world-class midfielder with the most passing talent in the world, how could De Bruyne be easily stuck in the passing line before being pressed close to him.

After a sudden stop, he tapped his left foot lightly, and without observing, he sent a straight kick to the right.

Without any extra frills, the football slanted out from the gap between the two of Leverkusen, with a slight inward arc, and rolled onto the line of Zhao Jinge's sprint.

After sending the pass, De Bruyne looked towards the right side of the court.

Sure enough, Zhao Jinge will never let me down!

De Bruyne looked at Zhao Jinge's running direction and smiled happily.

As a top passer, his greatest happiness is to have a striker who understands him.

"Zhao Jinge once again advanced with the ball on the right side. Near the penalty area, Zhao Jinge changed the route of the ball and prepared to cut inside!"

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray stared at the big screen of the broadcast:

"Now, on both sides of Zhao Jinge's cut-in line, Lars Bender and Wendell are double-teaming.

At the top of the arc in the penalty area, Aguero was also firmly watched by Papadopoulos and Spasic!

Manchester City needs other offensive points to respond! "

In the rapid advance, Zhao Jinge felt that his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Although it had only been a few minutes since the opening, under the sprint back and forth, sweat had already covered his forehead, and he wiped away the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes.

From the corner of Zhao Jinge's eyes, he noticed two figures approaching him quickly.

He swung forward with his left foot first, then turned around and pulled the ball quickly with his right foot, passing one of the faster figures.

"Marseille roundabout, Zhao Jinge passed Lars Bender first! Taking advantage of the gap behind Lars Bender, he diagonally cut into the front of Leverkusen's big penalty area!"

Aguero saw Zhao Jinge pushing the ball in his direction, and immediately ran to the left side of the goal instinctively. Papadopoulos also followed Aguero and left the top of the penalty area!
Spasic was left alone to face Zhao Jinge who was rushing towards him.

After seeing Aguero take Papadopoulos away, Zhao Jinge changed the direction of the ball again and cut back towards the right side of the penalty area.

Spasic hesitated for a while, and finally turned to the right side of the penalty area. Goalkeeper Leno also moved to the right side of the goal to prevent Zhao Jinge from volleying from a close corner.

On Zhao Jinge's side, he didn't hesitate at all. With his two feet moving quickly, he rushed into the right side of Leverkusen's penalty area with the momentum he had already charged!
Although Zhao Jinge cut in ahead of Spasic, Spasic took advantage of his position to firmly block his shooting angle.

When he realized that Leno had abandoned the door and rushed towards his feet.

At the critical moment, Zhao Jinge made his most correct choice. At this time, he forced to hit the goal and the shooting angle might be directly blocked by Spasic and Leno who attacked.

Since there is no shooting angle, pass the ball. The two central defenders are separated from the left and the right, and the middle of the penalty area is empty!

After Zhao Jinge stopped suddenly, he raised his right leg to make a breakthrough to the right, but under the attention of everyone, his raised right leg suddenly twitched backwards.

With a "bang", the football followed the sound and rolled towards the middle of the road.

"Zhao Jinge's heel pass was stronger, and De Bruyne missed the first point!
Second point!
Left side!

Aguero!
Shovel! "

With a sound of "touch", Andy Gray in the live broadcast room slapped the table heavily:
"It's just a little short! Aguero's shovel slipped out of the goal! Another great opportunity! Neither De Bruyne nor Aguero grasped it!"

"Zhao Jinge has handled this ball very reasonably, and the center of the penalty area is completely empty! It's a pity that De Bruyne's insertion was a step late!"

After Guardiola on the sidelines saw Zhao Jinge pass the ball, he immediately stared at the goal excitedly, almost jumping up to celebrate the goal!
As a result, the bamboo basket fetched water again in vain!Have fun!
Schmidt on the other side of the court patted his chest with lingering fear, it was so fucking scary.

City's opening two attacks came within a hair's breadth of breaking Leverkusen's goal.

This kind of frightening feeling made Schmidt completely unwilling to recall it.

But from these two attacks, Schmidt also noticed something was wrong.

As the initiator of the wing attack, Zhao Jinge seems to be pulling the attention of Leverkusen defenders more in the penalty area today.

Thereby creating scoring opportunities for other players, especially Aguero.

No, no, it should be after forcibly creating a strong defensive side by virtue of his own strong personal strength.

Let Manchester City's offensive players on the weak defensive side get an easy chance to score.

In these two attacks, if one hit the crossbar, the other slipped out and De Bruyne didn't grab a point.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the current Leverkusen will have been kicked to the ground by Manchester City's two opening punches. Don't be too ugly to die!
Maybe this is Guardiola's tactics today, focusing on the weak side of the defense?
After thinking for a while, Schmidt quickly took advantage of the dead ball and called Lars Bender to the sidelines, carefully exhorting:

"Tell the defensive players on the field that when defending from behind, if Manchester City still focuses on Zhao Jinge's side, you must pay attention to the Manchester City players on the other side while defending him!"

"Their strong attack on the right side today may be a cover, and the real ultimate move is the offensive player on the weak side!"

After Lars Bender returned to the field, he immediately told his players the coach's instructions.

The players of Leverkusen immediately kept an eye on them, secretly guarding against Manchester City's smacking!
Unlike the brainstorming Leverkusen here, the Manchester City players retreated to their own half to defend against Leverkusen's fast break while joking with each other.

"Akun! It seems that it is really difficult to score a goal for you today! You missed both opportunities."

David Silva spoke first, and Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne nodded in agreement.

"Isn't it just to score a goal? As long as you continue to pass the ball to me, I will score one for you today!"

Let's play, let's play, don't make fun of Brother Kun's goal!

Aguero, who was afraid that they would not pass the ball to him later, became anxious when he heard his teammates tease him for missing two scoring opportunities:
"That's fine! As long as I score a goal today and go back to Manchester, I'll pay for the whole team to go out and have a party. How come, how come! Do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Jinge immediately picked up the conversation:

"Hey, Brother Kun, you're ready to bleed! I'm just saying this to you. In the case of playing responsibly and ensuring victory, today's right to fire is entrusted to you!"

"What does it mean to play football responsibly? What does it mean to ensure victory? Do you, Brother Kun, and I look like the kind of people who score goals for themselves, regardless of the interests of the team?"

"That's definitely not it!"

David Silva shook his head immediately.

"Just pass it on. If you have a better chance, don't deliberately accommodate me. Victory is the most important thing!"

After a smooth start, the atmosphere of Manchester City's midfield players became particularly harmonious. With such an offensive momentum, the goal is not easy to catch!

In the 10th minute of the game, De Bruyne got the ball in the middle and sent a long pass after getting rid of Bella Rabbi.

After Zhao Jinge received the ball, he stomped on the gas pedal to death, rushed forward as if entering no one's land on the right, and then made an inward cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area.

Under the joint blocking of Spasic and Wendell, he half-turned and picked a pass in the middle of the penalty area. Aguero volleyed and hit Papadopoulos and popped out of the bottom line!

Although Aguero said no, no matter what other people do, under the strict defense of Leverkusen, as long as there is no excellent opportunity, Zhao Jinge still tries his best to pass the ball to Aguero's weak side.

After all, the shot chances are better there!
Schmidt's eyes lit up on the sidelines, and Manchester City's finishing kick was still handed over to the weak defensive player.

It seems that Guardiola gave the order to die, otherwise how could Zhao Jinge hand over his right to fire!
Manchester City's offensive on the field became more and more fierce.

No. In the 13th minute, Zhao Jinge broke through Wendell from the right and entered the penalty area. Spasic stepped forward to make a clearance, but Zhao Jinge made two consecutive feints in the small space of the penalty area.

In the end, he was completely cheated by Zhao Jinge's almost humiliating pass back through the crotch and inverted triangle, and fell to the ground.

But then Aguero's shot was bravely saved by goalkeeper Leno who was predicted in advance!

Leno relied on Manchester City's deduction from the defensive weak side to shoot, and moved towards the weak side at the moment Zhao Jinge passed the ball.

Only then did he get the time to go to the ground in time and made a world-class wonderful save!
"F**k! I'll give you two litters!"

Seeing that his shot was blocked again, Aguero, who has always been in a good mood, couldn't help but swear.

His teammates tried their best to pull out the gap, and he got an excellent shooting opportunity. Under such circumstances, a striker of his level would fail to score four consecutive shots. This is too outrageous!

While Aguero was yelling, Leverkusen's defensive players looked at each other and smiled:
Guardiola's tactics are not a big deal, he drank the footwashing water of our head coach!

Relying on special attention to the defensive weak side, Leverkusen defended Manchester City's threatening offense twice in a row!

Schmidt, who was on the sidelines, was complacent and praised his on-the-spot command.

Guardiola on the other side sneezed a few times!
Which guy speaks ill of me behind my back, don't be caught by me!

Guardiola complained a few words, and his mind was on today's game again.

Although Manchester City's opening offenses all played deadly offensive threats, they were all thunderous and rainy, and they never scored.

Guardiola also saw something was wrong on the sidelines, why did Zhao Jinge keep passing the ball to Aguero today!

Although Zhao Jinge is a reasonable pass choice, Guardiola praised him for sharing his right to fire without hesitation!
Football is always a team game, and Guardiola is rightfully gratified to see such selfless cooperation in his midfield.

Only a united team can go further on the road of football.
