I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 118 The Nightmare Returns, Killing the Red Army! (two in one)

After this game, Zhao Jinge has become the new favorite of the German team. As long as you can lead the team to win, you will be the most popular kid no matter where you go.

The relationship between Zhao Jinge and most of his teammates has gradually become familiar. Although they can't be called friends, they can be regarded as the relationship between ordinary colleagues.

On the night of the end of the game, in the locker room, Loew first praised the players for their wonderful performance in the game, encouraged them to continue to work hard, and then announced another news to everyone.

Since the Dutch national team ranked fourth in the group in the European Cup qualifiers, they lost the possibility of participating in the European Cup next year.

Therefore, the friendly match with the Dutch team originally scheduled for November 11 was canceled by the Dutch themselves.

For such a situation, Zhao Jinge felt very regretful. He originally wanted to see the elegance of the Tulip Legion, but the Dutch didn't give this opportunity at all.

However, the Dutch canceled the friendly match, and the German team understood it very well.

After all, after the national team match day last month, the Dutch team has already confirmed that they will miss the European Cup, and everyone knows it well.

As the runner-up of the [-] World Cup and the third-place runner-up of the [-] World Cup, the Tulip Legion fell in the European Cup qualifiers.

This can be regarded as the biggest upset among European national teams recently. The current Dutch national team is not only weak, but also has a chaotic personnel management, and will not spend their minds on friendly matches at all.

After all, the teams playing friendly matches are all determined to participate in next year's European Cup. If they want to train more before the official match, the Dutch naturally have no reason to play.

There is no need to play the game. The players of the German team looked very happy after learning the news.

Because Loew announced the official disbandment of the national team after notifying the cancellation of the friendly match.

These German players who were originally recruited got a week's vacation very unexpectedly.

That night, when the victory dinner was held at the hotel, many German players who had recently gotten to know each other wanted to invite Zhao Jinge to Cannes, France.

It is now mid-November, and the temperature in the inland is already a little low.

However, Cannes, France, which is on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, has just passed the best tourist season, which is from June to October every year, but it is still a good place to travel.

This time I just came to France to play football, and I happened to have a one-week vacation, so many players who were not in a hurry to return to the club wanted to experience the sunny beaches of the Mediterranean.

This kind of going out to play, of course, the more people the better, if any public opinion is aroused, the brothers will also be responsible for it.

For such an invitation, Zhao Jinge did not refuse. After returning from rebirth, Zhao Jinge has been busy with football and has not traveled seriously yet!

Taking this opportunity, he is going to experience the charm of the Mediterranean with everyone.

On the second day, when the German players boarded the plane to Cannes, the European media also used their own front-page headlines to tout the victory of the German team, the world champion returned to the top, and the favorites to win the European Cup. There is a lot of noise.

It was just a friendly match against France, but after Germany won, it still focused the attention of the whole of Europe.

There is no way. From the perspective of all the strong teams aspiring to win the European Cup, the German team, one of their main competitors, has once again raised a lot of threats.

Zhao Jinge and his teammates spent a few days relaxing in Cannes, a small city nestled at the foot of the green hills and on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Rivera Bay locks up several small towns facing the sea, occupying a unique geographical location.

The 5000-meter-long sandy beach, the everlasting flowers, strolling in the city, the white buildings, the blue sea, and rows of tall and green palm trees set off each other, forming a beautiful natural scenery.

Letting the sea breeze of the Mediterranean Sea blow away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhao Jinge and Gun Duoan, after completely relaxing, bid farewell to Cannes, which is sunny and sunny all the year round, and returned to Manchester on November 11.

After returning to the club, after seeing the Frenchman's defensive strength, Zhao Jinge also began to find ways to improve his offensive ability.

To attack the tough ones, you can rely on nothing more than the old three, breakthroughs, long shots, and set balls!
His shooting skills, including long shots, have little room for improvement.

In the set ball, the ability to head the ball already has Gerd Muller's skills, but the value has not yet reached the highest point.

Another item in the set kick: free kick, although Zhao Jinge's free kick attribute has a base value as high as 88.

However, since the team he stayed in has always had other free kick masters, Zhao Jinge has not taken the initiative to take free kicks in official games.

The same is true in the German team. Kroos has a very high level of free kicks. Although the number of direct free kicks does not seem to be many, this does not mean that if he takes the penalty himself, he can have a higher success rate.

Since he had never tried his free kick ability in an official game, Zhao Jinge himself did not have much confidence that he could surpass Ah Kuan.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Jinge suddenly had a different idea.

It would be great if I could draw a free kick. Beckham's scimitar, Juninho's free kick, Carlos' heavy artillery, any one of them would be a huge improvement for him.

The prospect of Manchester City this year is still relatively optimistic. At least one league championship is still guaranteed. I hope that after the season, a good template can be drawn!

It is best to come to a free kick master!
If the German team wants to win the championship, their abilities may have to be strengthened in the next wave. Even if they pass the French level, Portugal still has Ronaldo!

I just don't know if Ronaldo will be injured again in the final next year.

In the end, Zhao Jinge decided to maximize his free kick basic attributes as much as possible.
Then go to discuss with Guardiola to see if he can rank his free throw order first.

In this season, try to use actual combat to train your ability to take free kicks in official games.

In addition, the dribbling and ball-handling attributes should be filled up as soon as possible to improve their breakthrough ability in a small area.

Since there is no large-scale space for him to gallop, he can only improve his ability to move around in a small area.

The position of the German team he is in is a frontcourt free agent, so in every offensive technique, Zhao Jinge requires himself to reach the top level!

After returning to the Manchester City club, the next home game against Liverpool in the Premier League No. 13 round will start on November 21.

In just these two days, all the Manchester City players who went to participate in the national team game returned to the club. Manchester City took advantage of the last time to start their own recovery training.

But apart from Zhao Jinge and Jing Duoan, the other Manchester City players who went to participate in the national team game all seemed to be in poor condition.

Captain Kompany suffered a thigh strain while playing for the Belgium national team and will be sidelined for almost three weeks.

In another friendly match of the French team, Sagna suffered a muscle strain and needed to rest for at least half a month.

South American players such as Zabaleta, Otamendi, Demichelis, Fernandinho and other South American players in the team participated in two fierce South American qualifiers, and as the main players, they played almost all games.

Not to mention two round-trip transcontinental flights across the Atlantic,

And most of these players are Manchester City's most vulnerable defensive players in the midfield.

The exhaustion and successive injuries of these veterans on the defensive line made Guardiola anxious.

Although Aguero, who was slightly injured some time ago, did not participate in the game due to his physical reasons, he still flew back to the national team to cheer for his teammates.

Fortunately, the injury did not cause recurrence, and he recovered from the injury in time before the game against Liverpool, otherwise Guardiola would really scold his mother!
On his way to and from the club these days, Zhao Jinge often saw some extreme fans protesting outside the gate of the base.

I hope that the club will not allow the main players in the team to participate in friendly matches. This kind of unimportant national team competition will not affect the club's record.

This kind of thing often happens in front of the training bases of major giants. There is no way. The conflict between the club and the national team has always existed, but no one has ever resolved it.

"I really don't know when these people will make trouble. What effect can protesting in front of the training base have?"

Zhao Jinge shook his head, ignoring these extreme fans.

On the morning of the match day, in Manchester City's training ground, the players had already gathered.

Guardiola saw that he had injured two more main players, and he couldn't express the pain in his heart.

In the following schedule, Manchester City will have to play against several strong opponents one after another, but the injury problem has become more and more serious.

In the current situation, if there is a slight mistake, Manchester City may suffer an unacceptable losing streak.

After exhorting his players to pay attention to their health, Guardiola directly contacted Manchester City's sports director Begiristan, and the transfer plan for the winter break needs to be started in advance!

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the Etihad Stadium was full of Manchester City fans who were looking forward to it.

After waiting for two weeks for the national team match day, they finally ushered in Manchester City's home game. Now they are very eager for the team to use a big victory over Liverpool to announce the return of Manchester City!

Before the start of the game, in the locker room of the away team at the Etihad Stadium, Klopp has been emphasizing the importance of Zhao Jinge to his players:
"I believe you all know Zhao Jinge's monster performance! In 12 rounds of the Premier League, he played nine times, scored 20 goals and sent 11 assists.

He alone created more goals than our team's total goals in 12 rounds!

This means that as long as he can play comfortably, we will definitely die!

Since the first time I met him in the Bundesliga, he has performed alien-like performances in front of me time and time again!
Send me failure after failure.

In the Bundesliga, I watched him step on Dortmund and ascend to the Bundesliga champion.

Then he personally gave him the cup in the final of the German Cup!

He almost became my nightmare at the end of my Bundesliga career.

These lessons have taught me one thing, never take chances with Zhao Jinge!
Double team!Local siege!Never give him a one-on-one chance!
Sterling is not important, Aguero has just recovered from injury, as long as Zhao Jinge is strangled, we can take the initiative in the game!
I want to defeat him, conquering monsters is the most challenging thing!isn't it?

Do you have the courage to defeat monsters? ! "

Facing Klopp's questioning.

Although this game did not make the starting lineup, Henderson, as the captain, still brought all the Liverpool players in the locker room and made a guarantee to Klopp:

"Yes! Liverpool people have never been afraid of strong enemies. We will definitely freeze him so that he can't score a single goal today!"

In the locker room of the home team, Guardiola also seemed a little excited: "

Now we are the best team in the Premier League, but this does not guarantee that we will still be the best team in a month or two months!

There is no guarantee that we can take home the damn Premier League champion!

I believe everyone is clear about the difficulties the team is facing recently. The loopholes in the back line are almost a foregone conclusion. Facing opponents above the level, our defense line will be in great danger!

I'm not saying that the people on the back line are not doing well, but we have to admit that your current state is definitely not your best self.

You need help and we at Manchester City are one team, one unit.

So I need in today's game, our midfielders can give the greatest support to the defense!

On that side, our opponents must be studying how to start the attack!
I have played against him for two years, and I know his tactics very well!

Running, pressing, pressing, Liverpool will put us under tremendous pressure from the beginning!
Therefore, in the first 15 minutes of the game, each of you, especially the six people in the midfield, needs to develop a reverse press on Liverpool.

They started the attack, we will use a stronger posture to fight back!
Believe me, the Liverpool people are definitely not our opponents, keep an eye on Coutinho and Firmino, this is the core of their attack!
Zhao!I need you to press Emre Can in the frontcourt to organize the ball in the backcourt and not let them pass the ball to the frontcourt easily!
We have achieved undefeated results in the past period of time. I hope we can keep this glory for a longer time. Now get ready to fight!warriors! "

"Fight! Victory belongs to Manchester City!"

The roar of the Manchester City players almost reached the visiting team's dressing room.

Compared with other more relaxed Manchester City players, Zhao Jinge is more serious. Today's game must be very cautious.

If there is a diehard Liverpool fan who travels back, he should know that today's game is one of the most eye-catching games played by Krupp in his first season in charge of Liverpool.

Facing Manchester City, whose defense is in poor condition, Liverpool won four to one away!

However, Manchester City in history does not have Guardiola who is familiar with Klopp, nor does he have his own cheat killer. Now who wins this game depends on the performance on the field!
Today's game, as Guardiola said, must pinch Liverpool's core players, otherwise they are really capable of breaking through Manchester City's current defense line that is riddled with holes!
Players from both sides entered the player tunnel with the determination to win, and all Liverpool generals looked at Zhao Jinge consciously or unconsciously.

Is this the monster? !

It seems that today's game is going to target him well!

"As a traditional strong team in the Premier League, although Liverpool have had a poor record in recent years, their performance against Manchester City has always been above the standard.

In the past five Premier League duels, Liverpool and Manchester City have won two games respectively, and tied the remaining game.

Moreover, the two sides have not lost to each other for five consecutive seasons in their own home courts.

Judging from these data, Manchester City, which is at home, has a considerable advantage, but Guardiola's team has encountered a serious fifa virus, and Klopp's Liverpool has been relatively less affected.

Facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, can Liverpool get out of the recent downturn and give a strong response!
Is Manchester City winning and defending the dignity of their Premier League supremacy, or is Liverpool ending Manchester City's unbeaten season!

A contest between the traditional giants and the upstarts of the Premier League is about to begin.

let us wait and see! "

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Carragher introduced the situation of both sides of the game with an obvious position:
"Klopp fielded his strongest squad away:

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Alberto Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Klein.

Double defensive midfielders: Lucas, Emre Can.

Three midfielders: Lallana, Coutinho, Milner.

Forward: Firmino.

Guardiola responded with a four-three-three formation at home:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Kolarov, Demichelis, Otamendi, Clichy.

Midfield: Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, Gundogan.

Forwards: Zhao Jinge, Aguero, Sterling.

Kompany's injury forced Guardiola to let two long-distance Argentine players serve as double central defenders.

He has completely given up on that leaky mangala!

Aguero, who just returned from injury, Yaya Toure, who did not play with the national team, Zhao Jinge and Gundogan, who returned from vacation in the Mediterranean.

Guardiola put all the hopes of this game on his offensive players.

Once Manchester City fails to attack in this game, Manchester City's barely patched defense will be resolutely attacked by Liverpool players!

I personally think that Liverpool may have a slight upper hand today, Andy, what do you think? "

"Jamie, I advise you not to say this before the game, I feel like you have flags all over you.

In my live broadcast room, the person who said this has already been stabbed eight times by Manchester City!
You were there at the time, and I believe you must have been impressed by his desperate expression! "

Andy Gray is somewhat biased towards Manchester City. He believes that Guardiola's team will not fall due to injuries.

Hearing what Andy Gray said, Carragher smiled and stopped talking, but it can be seen from his excited expression that he still firmly believes in his own judgment.

"Okay, without further ado, players from both sides have already entered the field, let's focus on the game on the field!"

With the whistle of the referee, the whole game started.

Liverpool won the right to kick off in the boxing game, and Uncle Zha's team swung their three axes at the beginning of the game as Guardiola expected!

After the kick-off, Liverpool quickly passed the ball back to the midfielder Emre Can, and then with Firmino as the single arrow, the whole team quickly pressed forward to start an offensive formation.

Manchester City's players also immediately carried out Guardiola's order, and quickly pressed Liverpool at the moment of kick-off.

Zhao Jinge quickly rushed to Liverpool's backcourt area and went straight to Emre Can who was holding the ball in the back.

Facing the menacing Zhao Jinge, Emre Can quickly passed the ball long to Lallana on the left, who immediately continued to advance along the side.

Sterling, who faced his old club today, showed no stage fright, and immediately defended against the advancing Lallana,
And actively used physical confrontation. During the running of the two, he hit Lallana's waist with his upturned buttocks,

Forcing Lallana to pass the ball back, Coutinho, who was in the middle, wanted to step forward to respond, but Yaya Toure, who was forward, rushed to grab the football first.

Coutinho immediately counterattacked on the spot, but the tall and long-legged Yaya Toure reacted faster and preemptively passed the ball towards Liverpool's half.

Aguero received the pass in the middle of the drive, and the inside of the arch of the foot gently pushed against the ball.

The football was immediately tucked into the top left corner of Liverpool's penalty area.

Zhao Jinge, who was originally entangled with Emre Can, also started instantly, got rid of his national team teammates, and ran towards the football.

"Lallana's pass from the wing was intercepted by Yaya Toure, Coutinho failed to fight back, the ball was passed to Aguero in the middle, pass again! Dangerous, Liverpool's left top corner ! Zhao Jinge..."

After Zhao Jinge caught up with the football, he immediately crossed into Liverpool's penalty area. The opponent's central defender Koster stepped forward to intercept. Zhao Jinge was followed by Emre Can and full-back Klein.

Time waits for no one, Zhao Jinge speeds up and rushes towards Skrtel's side again, trying to get a shot angle!
Skrtel immediately shifted the position laterally, but just when the two were about to collide, Zhao Jinge flipped the ball with his right foot in the opposite direction, and he turned to the other side.

At this time, because of Skrtel's loss of position, there was a gap in front of Zhao Jinge that went directly to the goal!

Zhao Jinge's left foot stretched out, and he volleyed towards the football he lightly raised!

I saw that his whole body was lifted up by the power of his left foot, twisting his upper and lower body out of a deflected angle in the air,

From facing the goal to the side facing the goal, people are like bows and balls are like arrows!
The football, like a rainbow piercing the sun, flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal along a straight oblique trajectory.

Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet was blocking the near corner, but when he saw Zhao Jinge's shot from the far corner, it was too late.

The horse made by Lu Feikuai, the bow is like a thunderbolt!
Zhao Jinge hits the mountain and shakes the tiger, and the opening shot is explosive!
"GOAL!!!! Zhao Jinge's volley after picking the ball himself! Skrtel couldn't keep up with his movements at all!
Manchester City did not give Liverpool a chance to touch their defense at all!
Before that, their beast had already shot through Mignolet's goal! "

"Look! Jamie, this is Zhao, the response to your opening remarks! Fantastic!"

In the studio, Carragher's face was ashen, and the confidence he had just now was gone.

Liverpool players on the field, you look at me, I look at you, everyone has a suspicious expression on their faces.

The guarantee in the locker room of the visiting team seemed to be still vivid in his memory. The football that Zhao Jinge drew into the net was a wanton mockery of them!

freeze?Keep him from scoring a goal?

Klopp's evaluation of Zhao Jinge suddenly appeared in the hearts of Liverpool players, monster!In front of such a terrifying monster!

It turned out that the ridiculous clown turned out to be us!
Zhao Jinge ran directly to the sidelines, put one ear next to his ear, and pretended to be listening.

The fans of Blue Moon gave the warmest cheers and applause for their darling, this is their boundless love for Zhao Jinge!
Guardiola on the sidelines had his hands in his pockets, and he was nervously watching his players, dealing with Klopp's three tricks.

But who would have thought that Zhao Jinge would give him such a big surprise. The overjoyed Guardiola first patted his forehead in surprise, and then shook his arm excitedly.

Well done!

On the opposite side, Klopp made a bear gesture with a wry smile.

I warned you to keep an eye on Zhao Jinge like that, but in the end he found a one-on-one opportunity. Are your guarantees really ridiculous enough? !
In the next moment, Klopp yelled angrily, remember the lesson this time, strangle Zhao Jinge to death!

The game continued, and Klopp kept directing Liverpool's players to attack from the sidelines, but Manchester City's chasing and blocking prevented Liverpool's offense from launching smoothly.

Until the No.11 minute of the game, Milner's pass passed Gundogan and Yaya Toure.

Coutinho shot a cloud-piercing arrow on the right side of the front of Manchester City's penalty area, but unfortunately the angle was a little bit off, and it flew out of the baseline by rubbing against the goal post.

"Coutinho's iconic long shot, unfortunately a little bit off the angle!"

Carragher hugged his head regretfully, and Klopp reluctantly let go of the fist he had just clenched.

After being shocked into a cold sweat by Coutinho, Manchester City's already tight marking on him became even tighter.

Manchester City's defense immediately double-teamed Kubird.

Firmino also received Otamendi's personal care for him, and Manchester City shrunk the main defensive force to two people.

Unless other Liverpool players enter the dangerous area with the ball, Manchester City's players mainly focus on these two people, even if they relax their defense against others, they must maintain suppression!

After all, after losing Suarez and Gerrard, the Red Army's offense can only rely on these two people.

Liverpool's three tricks in the opening stage were all taken over by Manchester City. Manchester City's targeted defense and the overall oppression of the team not only suppressed Liverpool's offense, but also provided a barrier for their own defense.

In the 25th minute of the game, De Bruyne passed the ball, and Zhao Jinge volleyed again from the penalty area line, but this time the shot was thrown by Mignolet with both hands.

Mignolet wanted to serve quickly and the Liverpool players up front were ready to counter.

But the Manchester City players who began to implement Guardiola's oppression strategy will not let Liverpool succeed easily.

Before Mignolet was ready to serve, Manchester City had already had three players press into Liverpool's penalty area.

For Mignolet, if you want to ensure possession of the ball, then this requires safety, and you must pass in a direction with low pressure.

As City's three pressing players were closer to the right, Mignolet gave the ball to Lovren on the left.

After Mignolet passed the ball, Manchester City's frontcourt players began to move and press. Zhao Jinge immediately pressed Lovren, who was about to get the ball.

At the same time, Zhao Jinge and Yaya Toure observed Liverpool's response from the left side at the same time.

For Zhao Jinge, this observation is to consider the direction of oppressing Lovren for a while.

For Yaya Toure, who prefers to organize defensive oppression, his observation this time is to coordinate the overall situation and ensure the integrity of the oppression.

After the observation, Yaya Toure began to give orders, asking Gundogan to restrict the opponent's left back Moreno, and at the same time reminded Aguero to switch defenses and stare at Skrtel.

After setting up the defense, Yaya Toure prepared to close the net on his back, so he immediately moved backwards. This step of movement is to intercept the opponent's possible big football, and at the same time, it can also provide protection for the teammates in front of him.

At this time, in Liverpool's left area close to the bottom line, a three-on-three pressing situation has formed between Manchester City and Liverpool players.

At this time, since Manchester City's investment in the frontcourt is limited, Liverpool actually has two players in an unmarked position.
That is their goalkeeper Mignolet and another full-back Klein who has moved to the center.

Therefore, for the Manchester City players who are currently pressing, their first task is to restrict Liverpool from returning the ball to the right.

As long as the football is always restricted to the left, then Manchester City, which is heavily deployed, will be able to complete the interception.

To do this, it is necessary to limit the passing direction of Liverpool players with the ball.

Lovren gives the ball to Moreno in front of him
After Moreno got the ball, he didn't actually have a good passing angle. Gundogan immediately stepped forward to steal and cut off his forward passing line.

Facing Gundogan's attack, Moreno, who was a little nervous, chose to pass Lovren back.

At this time, Zhao Jinge immediately pressed Lovren in the direction behind him. The purpose of this was to prevent Lovren from completing the transfer and drive the opponent to the side!
Moreno's return pass just now has actually narrowed the road, and now the football controlled by Lovren is firmly suppressed near the bottom line.

At this stage of the situation, Aguero has given up pressing Skrtel, because Lovren's angle of delivery has been blocked, and Skrtel has no possibility of receiving the ball.

So Aguero started to drop back in order to complete the possession with his teammates after the opponent took a big kick.

Lovren's big-foot pass was intercepted by Yaya Toure who retreated early, and then knocked back to Aguero.

After Akun got the ball, the entire midfield of Manchester City was pressed into Liverpool's 30 yard area.

Immediately launched a counterattack on the spot, but it is a pity that Gundogan's last shot was blocked by Skrtel, otherwise Liverpool would definitely be in danger!

The frontcourt pressing and counterattack just now is the epitome of Liverpool's attack in the first half of the game.

Manchester City's iron-walled high-position press made Liverpool, whose central defender had no ability to play the ball, miserable. Even midfielders such as Emre Can retreated to receive the ball, and had to frequently use big feet and long passes to launch an attack.

Guardiola used the overall linkage to limit the performance of the Liverpool players. The central and frontcourt players such as Zhao Jinge used their lives to cast a moving wall for the backcourt players with their own active oppression.

Liverpool, which was extremely fun to attack in history, was severely suppressed.
