Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Sarabia is a forward. Today, he is under as much pressure as Rodri, or even more.

Because Rodri's pressure comes from defense.

And his pressure comes from both offense and defense.

When the team holds the ball and advances, he has to assist Paulinho in launching an attack, and when defending, he has to come back immediately to help defend Chen Chen.

The physical energy consumption is not small.

Chen Chen discovered this situation.

He began to run back and forth with fake moves, cheating back and forth, to drive Sarabia to do more unnecessary physical consumption.

Unexpectedly, Sarabia is really resilient. He sticks to Chen Chen like a sticky bug!

After several rounds of torture, Sarabia's reaction ability and speed finally had a flaw, and Chen Chen found an opportunity!

In the 11th minute of the game.

Laporte rushed forward with the ball.

He originally wanted to pass the ball to Rodri on the right, and then Rodri passed it to De Bruyne.

However, after seeing Chen Chen walk to the middle and raise his hand to signal for the ball, Laporte changed his mind and immediately passed the ball to him.

As soon as Chen Chen held the ball with his back to the goal, Sarabia came over again.

Sarabia's defensive reaction ability is very good, but his breathless appearance exposed his "false and empty".

To be honest, Amorim's tactical arrangement in the first ten minutes was very good, and Sporting CP could even surpass Manchester City in ball possession and number of shots.

However, everything has a price.

Sporting CP's price is that the physical energy consumption on the right is very high.

Not only Sarabia, but also Polo's physical energy consumption is high, because while defending Chen Chen, he also has to walk inside to help defend Sterling.

Chen Chen can see the problem of Sporting CP, and Guardiola on the sidelines can also see it.

Therefore, when Chen Chen walked inside to receive the pass, Udoki had already come to the position where Chen Chen was standing originally.

Originally, Polo and Palinha wanted to move towards Chen Chen, but once Udoki came up, they had to give up the idea of ​​shrinking to the middle.

So, near the center circle, Chen Chen and Saravia had a 1v1 opportunity.

Chen Chen, who had the ball, first stepped out with his left leg and pretended to run to the left.

Just as Saravia took a step behind him to block, Chen Chen suddenly pulled the ball back and then turned to the right.

This kind of fake move is very common in the football world. Everyone can do it, but few people can really use it like a duck in water and master it.

From a technical point of view, Messi is one of them. His shoulder-dropping fake move makes many players unbearable, and Boateng is the biggest victim.

On the court, Chen Chen completed the turn.

Saravia has already reacted.

However, Chen Chen's instantaneous acceleration is very fast. When Saravia turned around and prepared to pull, Chen Chen had already run two body positions.

Palinha and Mateus Nunes immediately became nervous.

Chen Chen did not continue to rush forward with the ball, but swung his right leg and passed it to the far side of the goal!

He did not shoot, but passed the ball!

Mahrez came out from a position that no one expected!

"Bang!"

Mahrez jumped up to relay the header!

This goal opportunity, I, the polo king, accepted it with a smile!

Adam in front of the goal rushed to Mahrez at the first time.

But he was quite far away from the left goal post, not to mention Mahrez who was a little outside the goal post?

"Swish!"

The ball came into close contact with the net.

The score on the big screen also changed in time.

"Perfect cooperation from Chen Chen and Mahrez!"

"Chen Chen attracted the opponent's attention, and the long-dormant Mahrez gave the opponent a head-on blow!"

"Wasting opportunities will be punished! Sporting CP! What a pity!"

Zhan Jun mourned for Sporting CP for a second, and then immediately continued to praise Manchester City.

"Wuhu! Manchester City is indeed the team that seizes the most opportunities in the entire European football world."

"As long as they can adjust their state, the stronger Manchester City will definitely score the first goal!"

Mahrez, who scored the first goal for the team, did not run to the corner flag area, but ran to Chen Chen. Then the two of them hooked their shoulders and backs and ran to the corner flag area with a group of good brothers to celebrate.

The cheers of Manchester City fans rang out at the Alvalade Stadium, but the cheers were soon drowned out by the boos of Sporting CP fans.

Immediately afterwards, a uniform voice rang out at Alvalade, and Sporting CP fans suddenly shouted "Messi".

Chen Chen was obviously stunned for a moment.

Boo, what the hell is Messi?

Chen Chen reacted quickly.

Didn't the data of FC22 come out before?

Chen Chen and Messi tied for 94 points, while Ronaldo was 93 points. Are the Sporting CP fans borrowing "Messi"?To mock him.

Chen Chen laughed.

To be honest, he had never thought of competing with Messi and Ronaldo in terms of goals or other honors.

After all, the two were already in the process of going downhill, and it was meaningless to compete with them at this time.

Chen Chen originally regretted that he was not reborn in the peak era of Messi and Ronaldo, and could not fight with Messi and Ronaldo for 300 rounds.

The boos in the stands continued.

Chen Chen looked around, and then silently made a decision in his heart.

Today, the fans of Sporting CP provoked and mocked him so much, so he should shoot them a few more times.

Shoot until they screamed and Ahegao!

Not long after, the players of both sides returned to the center of the court and the game continued.

Sporting CP, which was one goal behind, did not immediately hold the ball and break through.

Amorim saw clearly that the gap between the team and Manchester City was very large. Now that the opponent was in form, they should respond with a defensive posture.

Of course, as one of the Portuguese Super League giants, Sporting CP will definitely press forward quickly as long as there is a suitable offensive opportunity.

15th minute of the game.

Manchester City gets a corner kick opportunity.

De Bruyne takes the penalty kick.

In the penalty area of ​​Sporting CP, Ruben Dias grabbed the first point and then headed the ball.

Unfortunately, he didn't hit the right spot and the ball flew out of the crossbar.

18th minute.

Sporting CP also got a corner kick opportunity.

Esgayo's foot is very strong, and he took this corner kick.

Unfortunately, the ball kicked by Esgayo was too close to Ederson, and the Brazilian goalkeeper easily took the ball off.

20th minute.

Manchester City quickly advanced with the ball.

De Bruyne wanted to pass the ball to Foden, but was stopped by Coates one step earlier.

Sporting CP's counterattack opportunity!

Fortunately, Chen Chen and Sterling reacted quickly, and the two double-teamed Coates, forcing him to pass the ball to the goalkeeper.

Soon, the time came to the 27th minute.

Manchester City got a throw-in in the frontcourt.

Sterling threw the ball to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen did not stick to the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Laporte who ran over to receive it.

Laporte turned right after getting the ball.

After running a few steps away, the Spanish central defender looked up at the right area, and he wanted to shift the attack direction to the right.

However, the opponent obviously noticed his idea through his head-up action, and the overall formation of Sporting CP moved a little to the left.

Seeing this, Laporte did not hesitate and directly returned the ball to Chen Chen.

Since the intention to shift to the right was discovered, just play on the left!
