All-around center

Manchester City's tactical room is also undergoing tactical arrangements.

Yaya Toure looked at the tactical board and listened carefully.

Since joining Manchester City, his overall condition has continued to improve.

Now he is performing extremely well in Manchester City.

They almost won the league title last season, and although they fell short by one point, they can still try this season.

Or maybe it's because they failed to win the championship. This season, their cohesion is stronger and they are more eager for the championship.

Yaya Toure is now known as the strongest B2B.

The so-called ‘B2B’ is the abbreviation of BOX-TO-BOX, which means [from restricted area to restricted area].

This term in the field of football refers specifically to those midfielders with a wide range of movement, strong running ability and good offensive and defensive abilities.

These players can cover from their own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area during the game and perform multiple tactical tasks, including but not limited to defensive interception and offensive organization.

In other words, he is a versatile midfielder!

But even Yaya Toure didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

The main reason is that Su Ke is too difficult to deal with!

He is an all-around midfielder, and Suker is also an all-around forward!

And in terms of offensive threat ability alone, Su Ke is even more difficult to deal with.

Su Ke's heading, running, shooting and dribbling are all top-notch. If such a guy is placed in the frontcourt, his threat level can be seen as average.

Yaya Toure played with Suker when he was in Barcelona. He knows very well that Suker's beast-like impact is only higher than his own.

"We need to cut off the passing channel between Su Ke and his teammates." Mancini was still explaining the tactics.

He also experienced the power of Su Ke when he was coaching Inter Milan, but he found a way to restrict Su Ke, so he planned to repeat the same trick.

"This can't restrain Su Ke!" Yaya Toure suddenly said.

Mancini frowned slightly.

Yaya Toure; "I'm not questioning your tactics, but compared to the Serie A period, Suker's growth and progress are no longer the same. When I played in Barcelona, ​​we also tried to cut off passing channels. , but Real Madrid still countered our tactics with a dog holding a Frisbee!"

Aguero; "In close defense, one person must sacrifice to play as a man-marking midfielder. Even if Suker does not hold the ball, he must follow him. Only in this way can his impact efficiency be reduced."

Even so, he did not dare to say that he could completely restrict Su Ke, but could only reduce Su Ke's efficiency.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Balotelli didn't care.

David Silva; "It's more exaggerated than this! Haven't you played against him? Can't you feel it?"

"I forgot!" Balotelli said, picking his nose.

David Silva shook his head, forgetting that this guy's head was not working properly.

Kompany; "Let's get physical and use the way we are best at."

"If his body is weak, he is not omnipotent." Yaya Toure sighed; "He can only foul!"

Aguero also nodded and said: "If you feel threatened, foul immediately. Only in this way can you stop him."

Balotelli smiled nonchalantly and said, "You are calling him like a big monster!"

Yaya Toure; "From a certain perspective, you are right!"

Balotelli shrugged, then turned to look at Maicon: "Why don't you speak?"

Maicon looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Others grinned, this idiot, why did you mess with him?

When talking about Maicon, the two people who cannot be avoided are Su Ke and Bell.

Both of them kicked him to death!

And Suk is still the kind of kicker who rubs repeatedly!

Today, the video of Maicon being eaten alive by Su Ke and Bell at high speed is still popular on YouTube.

It can be said that these two people have pulled him down from the world's number one full-back in their lifetime, and their value has been reduced to a fraction.

Now in a match, his two enemies were present, so he was naturally jealous.

When he thought about having to defend Su Ke in the next game, he wanted to vomit.

Manchester City's tactics have been finalized. No matter how strong Real Madrid is, they still need to fight hard.

Fortunately, today's Real Madrid is based on infighting and the situation within the team is unstable.

At the same time, this is also their home game, so they naturally need to go for victory.

The next evening, Manchester City Stadium.

The football atmosphere in the UK is extremely strong. You can already feel the heat when approaching the stadium, and the scent of wheat beer is faintly wafting in your nose.

Of course, in addition to these, there were many football hooligans who booed them and clamored to kill them.

Suk held his chin and looked out the window of the bus, seeing all the shameless British football hooligans. British football was very popular, but these football hooligans also made a lot of jokes.

Not long after, the bus passed by the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the stadium.

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to get out of the car!"

Mourinho said something and got off the bus first.

With Mourinho's appearance, the surroundings were filled with cheers from Real Madrid's expedition fans, and when the players appeared, the cheers became even louder.

"Come on Suk! Win the game!"

"We believe you!"

"Bring us another Champions League!"

"Come on Suke!"

Listening to the cheers around him, Suk smiled and gave a thumbs up, winked at the fans, and then stepped into the stadium.

The staff was already waiting and led them to the locker room.

The Real Madrid players were also familiar with the route. They began to change their equipment and put on training jerseys before stepping into the stadium to warm up.

In Manchester, the most influential stadium is still Old Trafford.

This was Suker's first time at the Manchester City Stadium. The overall scale is not particularly large, but it is also a standard professional football stadium.

The attendance rate of fans is very high, or in other words, there is no low attendance rate in the five major leagues.

The football market of these mainstream leagues is very hot!

After the warm-up session, the players of both sides returned to the locker room for the final preparations.

The starting players replaced the players and prepared to play.

Ramos wore the captain's armband and started again after a long absence.

The relationship between Ramos and Mourinho is very awkward now.

It can be regarded as resolving the past grudges, but there is no trust as before.

After all, Mourinho pitted the Spanish local players, and that was pitting to death. It would be abnormal to have trust again.

In the player channel, the players of both sides gathered, and the referee gave an order and the players entered the field.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows.

Manchester City (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Maicon, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy.

Midfielders: David Silva, Xavi Garcia, Yaya Toure, Barry, Nasri.

Forward: Tevez.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Adan.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Casemiro, Kroos, Kaka.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

After the two teams' lineups were set, the game was ready to start.

Ramos returned to the starting lineup, which made Real Madrid fans and commentator Gonzalez happy.

"Ramos has returned from injury, and Real Madrid's defense will be much more stable. This is good news."

In the news released by Mourinho, Ramos was suspended because of injury. He did not foolishly tell everyone that Ramos was pressed to the bench by himself.

Of course, many people also know that Mourinho is suppressing Ramos and Spanish local players, but Gonzalez can only comment in an open mode.

Seeing that the game is about to start, Gonzalez also took a deep breath and entered the formulaic opening remarks.

"This is the second round of the 2012/2013 Champions League group stage, Manchester City's home game against Real Madrid!"

"This is also the second game of Group D. In the last game, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund at home, while Manchester City tied Ajax away. Real Madrid leads Group D with 3 points, and the result of this game will directly affect the changes in the points of the entire group."

Accompanied by Gonzalez's commentary, Manchester City, wearing sky blue jerseys, took the lead in the game.

Real Madrid wore black away jerseys in this game.

Beep!

The whistle sounded and the game began.

Bang!

Amid cheers, Manchester City kicked off and passed the ball smoothly.

Mancini is the head coach of Manchester City, and he also brings his own style to the team.

Inspiration, technique, speed and control!

This is Mancini's style!

He won't keep controlling the ball like passing and controlling, nor will he play passively like defending and counterattacking.

Not rough, not careless!

Cautious enough, but also decisive to kill with one blow!

As an Italian coach, Mancini has well integrated the styles of Italy and England and presented them in a unique way.

Suker ran forward, his eyes focused on the changes in the court.

The most active player is Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure's range of activities is very large and is not limited to a certain area. The so-called B2B is like this, expanding his range of activities and using his own abilities to open up the situation.

However, Real Madrid is not a vegetarian either, they will not let Yaya Toure pass easily.

Bang!

Manchester City was still a little nervous and encountered a steal during the pass!

The ball changed hands, Kaka passed the ball intercepted by Kroos back and controlled the ball more safely.

Manchester City saw that they had lost the ball, so they were not in a hurry to press, but stood in their position and waited for Real Madrid's attack.

Kaka received the ball again and immediately passed it forward to Kroos.

Kroos looked up to observe after receiving the ball, but it was at this opportunity that Yaya Toure seized it.

Yaya Toure rushed out from the side and back, and Kroos couldn't stand the fierce physical confrontation. Kroos originally planned to separate Yaya Toure from the ball by turning sideways.

But this guy used his long legs to step on the ball and pulled it back violently.

"Oh~~~ Yaya Toure!!"

The British commentator shouted excitedly.

Yaya Toure completed the steal, passed Casemiro who was assisting in defense with a fried meatball, and passed the ball to Nasri on the side.

Nasri planned to cut in from the bottom.

But Srna's close pressing was extremely fierce, and he found the right opportunity to poke the ball out of the sideline, saving the problem in this defense.

But even so, it is a fact that Manchester City almost launched a brilliant counterattack.

Especially Yaya Toure, who seemed to be starting to exert his strength.

"This is Yaya Toure. With a huge coverage area, he can steal and pass people. He has excellent physical fitness but is not bulky. Just like after he completes the steal, he uses fried balls to pass Kasemi. Like Luo!"

Yaya Toure's wonderful opening performance really improved Manchester City's morale a lot.

The fans were also jubilant.

Mancini on the sidelines also nodded slightly, but he did not relax any further. Real Madrid uses defensive counterattack tactics, and it is natural to play passively.

But the test for Manchester City still exists.

That's when Real Madrid counterattacked and whether Manchester City could resist.

If he can't handle it, Suker will become an unsolvable existence for Manchester City.

Suker retreated all the way, with Xavi Garcia always following beside him.

This guy barely had the ball in this game and didn't even have his own position. He just kept following Suker.

This is the so-called man-marking midfielder. In order to restrict Suker, everything else is abandoned, just to compress Suker's space for movement.

But Su Ke has become accustomed to this. After all, when it was more extreme, there were two people staring at him playing football.

This is pretty good.

As for Yaya Toure's performance, it was pretty much what they expected. This is a really troublesome guy.

As a midfielder, Yaya Toure is gradually reaching his peak.

In the 2013/14 season, this guy scored 20 goals and 9 assists.

It can be said that this data is frightening when placed on any midfielder.

Midfielders are different from forwards and have different responsibilities.

In the midfield position, ten goals in a season is considered an outstanding performance.

Not to mention 20 goals.

Moreover, Yaya Toure plays in today's Premier League, which can be regarded as technological poverty alleviation in an absolute sense.

Of course, when it comes to technology, Real Madrid is not convinced!

But there’s nothing you can do if you don’t accept it!

After all, their head coach Mourinho will not let them play with so-called technical skills.

Suker is still waiting for the opportunity, and Manchester City presses very forward, thinking of taking the lead in opening up the situation with the current situation.

On the other hand, although Real Madrid is passively defending, it is not impatient and builds a stable defense line.

Each position is in a relatively balanced state.

"It's so hard to break through!"

Yaya Toure frowned.

Real Madrid put up a chain defense.

This is a defensive routine that Italy is good at, but Mourinho, who has studied in Italy, naturally learned this thing and integrated it into his own tactical system.

Under the waves of chain defense, if the first chain of defense is broken, there will be a second chain.

That is to say, while retreating, you can apply it on your body indefinitely until the opponent is exhausted.

Italy's chain defense is still very strong. Don't look at Su Ke's accuracy every time, but Su Ke is already beyond the standard and cannot be used as a benchmark.

Su Ke can use his strong personal ability to cut through the chain defense, and Yaya Toure can actually do it, but he needs some time.

boom!

Facing the ball, Ramos jumped up suddenly and shook his head to clear the ball.

The ball fell to Casemiro.

"Pass it here!"

Bell pointed in front of him.

But Casemiro did not look at Bell, but looked at the far end of the diagonal.

Although Bell is also a trustworthy teammate, should he still look for Suker at this time?

The two looked at each other, and Su Ke immediately made a move.

Casemiro immediately hit hard with the instep of his foot. The ball was close to the ground, crossing the court diagonally like a sharp sword, and rushed towards Suker accurately.

"Can you still do this?"

Su Ke was a little surprised.

He has always regarded Casemiro as a rough defensive guy, but how rough can a player from Brazil be with such rough skills!

However, the ball speed was too fast and the force was obviously not well controlled, so it was a bit troublesome to stop the ball.

But Suker is fully capable of holding down the ball.

Because the ball was too fast, Su Ke couldn't even stop the ball.

He could only stand on his feet. When the ball approached, his body slightly jumped backwards and the insteps stood up. The moment the ball hit the insteps, he made some subtle buffering movements, using the retreat of the entire body and the shaking of the ankles. Complete unloading.

The ball stopped just half a meter in front of Su Ke.

Xavi Garcia looked at the ball and subconsciously wanted to steal it.

"Don't stretch your feet!"

Maicon yelled.

But it was still a step too late.

When Javi Garcia stretched out his foot, Suker stepped on the ground with his left foot and shook his right foot slightly.

The ball passed under Xavi Garcia's crotch, and Suker stepped on the sideline, turned sideways, and completed the breakthrough.

"Suke! Wonderful stoppage!"

After Suk passed Garcia, he rushed straight to Maicon.

Maicon immediately approached and stood about two meters away from Su Ke.

His whole body floated down slightly, and he stood sideways to block the inside line.

At the same time, Maicon stretched out his hand and pushed towards Su Ke.

As soon as Su Ke changed direction, he immediately used his arms to support him and squeezed in with his body.

"Maicon still has a lot of experience, but..."

The corners of Su Ke's mouth curled up slightly.

"I hope you still have the speed you used to have!"

boom!

Suk went deep, and then his whole body was rising, and he planned to use his speed to eat him alive along the outside line.

Seeing this scene, Gonzales couldn't help but get excited.

It's like a classic all over again!

In the 2007/2008 season, Suker, who was still playing for AC Milan, kicked Maicon in this way!

"Damn it!!"

Maicon immediately chased back, but when he turned around, he could only see Suker's back.

His speed was completely out of his reach!

After being humiliated by Suker and Bale with speed, Maicon's condition plummeted.

He is no longer in his peak condition now.

But he still gritted his teeth and chased.

Even if he couldn't block it, he had to stop Suker from cutting inside.

Suker didn't take any risks, but swept towards the small penalty area along the bottom line.

Benzema, Kompany, Nastasic and goalkeeper Joe Hart all rushed towards the ball, and there was chaos.

But they were all a step slower, and the ball passed through the small penalty area and flew out of the bottom line.

And none of them could touch the ball!

The crisis was resolved, but the Manchester City players were still in shock.

Suker's breakthrough along the side this time gave them a headache.

Can't stop it!

Can't stop it at all!

If he can't be stopped, Suker will continue to pass the ball to the small penalty area or cross the ball.

These are not the most terrifying things.

They also have to guard against Suker's cut-in. After all, compared to passing, Suker's shooting is the most threatening weapon.
