Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

After Zhao Yi's opening ceremony, the starting players of both teams re-entered the field.

Some of the fans of Etihad had distorted faces.

"Goal, goal!!"

"Kick Sunderland!"

"Zhao, Zhao!! You scored five goals in the first game last season!!!"

"Six goals in this game!!!"

"Happy birthday, Zhao!"

"Birthday night, miracle night, Zhao!"

"Kick the Black Cat to death!"

"Blue Moon, Blue Moon!! Zhao!"

"Man City!!! Zhao City!!!"

Zhao Yi raised his hand to applaud the stands, responding to the crazy fans.

Sunderland's players looked at the Manchester City fans who were going crazy.

Compared with last season, these fans' mental state is more unstable.

Six championships have brought these fans' confidence and faith to another level.

The former home stadium of Etihad was also crowded, but there were still many fans in casual clothes. This season, the entire Etihad Stadium was almost all blue.

Even if they were not wearing Manchester City jerseys, every fan had a blue scarf around their necks.

Etihad has ushered in an epic change.

These free and democratic fans, organized and disciplined, changed into blue jerseys.

Sunderland took the lead in kicking off.

After the kick-off, Manchester City did not immediately launch a high-pressure defense.

Only Aguero interfered in the front.

After Sunderland passed the ball several times, Zhao Yi, De Bruyne, and Sterling began to move forward slowly.

Trying to grab the ball.

But the effect was not good.

Although Sunderland players are not expensive, they are a Premier League team after all.

There is still some clue to the transmission in the backcourt.

Kante and David Silva also slowly moved forward, and Manchester City's defense line also moved forward as a whole.

Sunderland began to transfer the ball to the midfield.

Rodwell received the ball.

Passed it to Watmore.

Sunderland took the lead in attacking from the right.

Because Manchester City's left side is De Bruyne, Silva, and Delph.

Compared with Sterling, Kante and Kyle Walker on the right, it is obviously easier to attack from the left.

Watmore joined the start, trying to get rid of Silva, but was restricted by Delph who came up to defend.

He could only stop and wanted to find Defoe directly, but found that there was no space.

Immediately transfer the ball back.

As soon as Rodwell received the ball, he was entangled by De Bruyne.

At the same time, Aguero and Zhao Yi also leaned towards the left.

Rodwell chose to pass back quickly.

Love got the ball.

Aguero rushed over.

Zhao Yi stood parallel to Aguero.

One of them was on the left and the other was in the middle.

After Rodwell passed the ball, De Bruyne gave up on Rodwell and continued forward, surrounding Love with Aguero.

This is one of the most basic high-pressure methods.

De Bruyne will not continue to guard his opponent, but will quickly follow the ball in a small area to put pressure on the player with the ball.

Let him transfer the ball under pressure.

In addition, David Silva and Delph will also move up to press the player without the ball.

Force the player with the ball to find no contact point.

At this time, Silva was standing next to Rodwell.

Love did not dare to pass the ball forward easily.

In order not to kick the ball too hard and lose the ball.

He immediately turned half-turned and transferred the ball horizontally.

To the central defender teammate in the middle.

Because there was enough space there.

Just as Cone was about to receive the ball, he saw Zhao Yi rushing towards him with wide eyes.

In a flash, the rhythm of the broadcast camera and the scene was completely different.

When watching the game, many fans felt that these Premier League players were too useless. They couldn't even pass the ball in such a big gap.

Only those who played the game on the spot knew how fast the opponent's players were pressing.

Because of the pressing of Manchester City players, Love's pass was a little out of shape.

In addition, Cone didn't judge the landing point of the ball very well.

It was also affected by Zhao Yi's pressing.

Once the ball stopped, it was a little big.

He turned his back to Zhao Yi and tried to push the ball to the goalkeeper.

Zhao Yi had stretched his legs to interfere.

He kicked the ball out.

Cone stumbled and almost fell.

Zhao Yi touched the ball twice in a row, so the physical contact with Cone would not be called a foul.

The football was poked out, and Cone rolled and crawled to catch up.

Zhao Yi had already rushed to the front from the back with big strides.

He took the football and left Cone behind.

Kabul on the other side immediately chased back and tried to intercept.

But he was already standing forward, and at this time Zhao Yi got the ball again and started running.

He couldn't catch up at all."Kone... made a very serious mistake, the ball was intercepted!!"

"One minute into the game, Zhao Yi got a single chance!"

If Zhao Yi needed to adjust before shooting, Kabul might catch up and make a tackle.

But for Sunderland, the bad luck was here.

During the process of Zhao Yi advancing with the ball, he did not need any adjustment, he could just kick and shoot.

When Mannone saw Zhao Yi rushing over, he was thinking whether he should wait at the goal line or attack to intercept, Zhao Yi, who was standing on the penalty area line, kicked with the ball.

Bang! !

Kabul ran into the penalty area, but before he could make a tackle, the ball flew out.

He stood there, grinning and biting his tongue.

Seeing Mannone standing in the middle of the goal line, with his arms open, he shivered violently as if he was shot by a machine gun.

He did not judge the direction of the football at all.

So the action looked a bit weird and funny.

The football had already hit the upper right corner of the goal fiercely.

Whoosh...

The fans of Etihad did not wait too long.

One minute into the game, Sunderland made a fatal mistake in Manchester City's sudden pressing.

Zhao Yi kicked the ball in.

Manchester City scored a goal in their first attack!

Amid the excited roar of Manchester City fans, Zhao Yi ran two steps and jumped high.

Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling, and Silva rushed over.

Several people hugged each other.

"Zhao Yi! This game is completely different from the previous two finals!

He got excited at the start, stole the ball directly, and scored a goal from a long distance!

Manchester City leads 1:0!"
