Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

This almost naked obstruction caused the mentality of Manchester City players to fluctuate, and the atmosphere on the court became more tense.

Especially in the 40th minute of the game, a small mistake in the frontcourt of Manchester City was seized by Norwich.

The opponent quickly launched a counterattack, and the ball came to the feet of their striker Cameron Jerome after several passes.

He broke through Manchester City's defense with the ball and faced goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Jerome's shot was very sharp, but Joe Hart showed his goalkeeper qualities at this critical moment.

His reaction was quick and accurate, and he devoted his whole body to the flying save.

The ball was saved by him, and then the atmosphere on the court reached a climax.

The audience's hearts were tightened, but as Kompany calmly cleared the ball, Manchester City avoided a possible loss of points.

"Ah!"

At this moment, a huge sigh broke out in the air above the court.

And the other players of Manchester City were also scared out of their wits, and they dared not be careless in the next game.

Joe Hart's heroic save not only saved Manchester City's innocence, but also injected new vitality into the team.

Although Norwich's foul tactics temporarily disrupted Manchester City's rhythm, it inspired the players' fighting spirit.

As the game continued, Manchester City gradually adjusted its tactics, paying more attention to keeping the ball and quickly completing the attack and defense transition.

Guardiola kept directing on the sidelines, and the team must stay focused. The more stable it is at this time, the more it needs to be stable, and it must not be shaken by the opponent's provocation.

With the whistle at the end of the first half, Manchester City's players walked back to the locker room quickly, and their mood was complicated at this time.

Although the score was still 0-0, goalkeeper Joe Hart's performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the first half.

His series of wonderful saves moved almost everyone at Carrow Road, including those loyal Norwich fans.

After the players sat down, Guardiola first walked to Joe Hart, with a rare admiration on his face. He patted the goalkeeper on the shoulder and his voice was full of affirmation.

"Joe, you performed very well in the first half. Your reactions and decisions were world-class, and it was you who kept the score balanced."

"Very good, keep up the focus and calmness."

The whole team's eyes were focused on Joe Hart, who nodded slightly and accepted the coach's praise.

However, Guardiola's expression soon became serious, and he turned to other players, his eyes as sharp as a scanner.

"Gentlemen, you should wake up."

"For 45 minutes in the first half, you played like a relegated team on the court."

"We are Manchester City, we should control the game and show our style and strength."

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became tense, and the players lowered their heads.

Guardiola continued to arrange the tactics for the second half and said: "In the second half, I require faster passing and more active running."

"De Bruyne and David, I need you to create more opportunities in the midfield, not just to maintain possession of the ball, but to break through the opponent's defense."

"Li Lei, Sterling, your speed is our weapon, I want to see more breakthroughs and crosses from you."

"In terms of defense, we can't give the opponent any chances."

"Kompany, Otamendi, stay compact and return to defense in time."

"We can't rely on Joe to save the game. Overall, I need to see a united and hungry Manchester City."

Guardiola's voice was full of passion and challenge. He walked to the tactical board and drew in detail the position movement and court layout he wanted to see.

As the second half of the game began, Manchester City players had obviously internalized Guardiola's tactical instructions.

The ball under their feet seemed faster and more precise, and every pass and run seemed to foreshadow the next breakthrough in Norwich's defense.

Sergio Aguero, the striker from Argentina, showed his amazing personal ability.

In the 57th minute, he received a slightly bouncing ball in the penalty area and chose to volley without hesitation.

The force and angle of this shot were almost perfect, but Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy saved the ball with amazing reaction speed.

Although he failed to score, this scene was enough to cheer up all the spectators.

The atmosphere on the field gradually heated up with Manchester City's offensive.

Midfielders De Bruyne and David Silva's performance in the midfield became more and more eye-catching. They not only played a key role in controlling the rhythm of the game, but also constantly created opportunities for the frontcourt.

In the 72nd minute, Silva's exquisite through ball sharply cut through Norwich's defense and found Sterling, but unfortunately the latter's shot was slightlySlightly out of focus.

As the game entered the last ten minutes, Manchester City's pressure finally turned into a goal.

In the 80th minute, De Bruyne showed his power again, and his iconic straight pass was accurately delivered to Li Lei's feet.

At this moment, Li Lei did not give the opponent any chance to react, and directly shot at a wide angle, and the ball hit the net like an arrow from a string.

1:0, Manchester City took the lead.

However, Manchester City players were not satisfied with this, and De Bruyne continued to show his shooting skills at the end of the game.

In the 88th minute, after he got the ball near the midfield, he chose a long shot without hesitation.

This kick was powerful and accurate, and it went straight through the goalkeeper Rudy's fingers.

2:0, Manchester City expanded the score again.

As the game ended, the atmosphere in the Sky Sports live broadcast room also reached a warm peak.

Host Keane and guest Jones, two senior football commentators, both praised Manchester City's performance tonight.

Keane couldn't help but slap the table excitedly, his voice was filled with the passion and respect that only football players have.

"Tonight we witnessed how Manchester City demonstrated its world-class competitive level under pressure."

"Aguero, De Bruyne, Li Lei... Every name is engraved in everyone's heart tonight."

"They not only won the victory for the team, but also won respect and love for the sport of football."

Jones also nodded in agreement. He had some reservations about Manchester City's performance before the game, but at this moment he was completely conquered by Manchester City's performance.

"Indeed, Keane. I admit that I had some reservations about Manchester City tonight, but their performance undoubtedly eclipsed any doubts."

"De Bruyne's two key passes and shots are simply textbook-level performances."

"And his and Li Lei's goals are the best proof of their calmness and precision."

Keane turned to the camera and said in a more serious tone: "This is not just a victory, it's a display."

"Manchester City used their technology, tactics and team spirit to tell us that even in the face of difficulties and challenges, they can find breakthroughs."

"Guardiola's tactical layout and the players' execution reached their peak tonight."

Jones added: "And we can't forget Joe Hart's performance. His key saves when guarding the goal stabilized Manchester City's defense."

"Without his outstanding performance, the situation of the game might be completely different."

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was full of admiration and enthusiasm, and the audience in front of the TV could undoubtedly feel the love for football and appreciation of Manchester City's victory.
