Chapter 805 Manchester City's Tactical Upper Limit
Chapter 805 Manchester City's Tactical Upper Limit
In the 7th minute of the game, just 4 minutes after Southampton scored, the Manchester City fans who came from afar gave out huge cheers.
After a failed attack by Manchester City, Southampton began to pass the ball, but Manchester City started a frenzied press, which caught Southampton's players off guard. The young De Ligt made a mistake in this pass. The pass he passed to Maguire was a bit weak, and Aguero blocked the ball halfway!
After stealing the ball, Aguero dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area. Although the other defenders had begun to return to defense, they were a step slower.
Facing the attacking Gulac, Aguero calmly pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal!
One to one tie, Manchester City lightning equalized!
This conceded goal made the Southampton fans a little depressed, but they soon started shouting again, supporting the team to continue attacking.
Ji Ya didn't say much, but firmly made an offensive gesture to the field.
Southampton continued to attack, and their game rhythm began to become faster.
De Bruyne made a diagonal pass, and DePaul followed up with a strong shot, which was confiscated by Ederson.
De Bruyne took a corner kick, and De Ligt, who stepped forward to assist, shook his head and hit the goal. The ball hit the crossbar and popped out of the baseline.
DePaul took the ball from the right and crossed the center. De Bruyne, who followed up, dunked horizontally, then kicked and shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In just 5 minutes, Southampton created three shots. These three attacks were extremely fast and quite threatening.
Guardiola frowned. This rhythm is not the same as Southampton's usual game rhythm. They speed up the game rhythm, and in this way, Manchester City is forced to follow their rhythm...
This is not something that Manchester City can suppress by saying that they can suppress the rhythm. After all, if you slow down the rhythm, the opponent's pressing will make you more troublesome.
It has always been that Southampton's overall strength is not inferior to that of Manchester City, or even a little higher, so when Southampton takes the initiative to speed up, Manchester City must keep up, otherwise, it will be very passive.
Obviously, Ji Ya's approach is to let Manchester City enter a rhythm that is not particularly familiar to them. Although this rhythm is not suitable for Southampton, their overall operation is more proficient than Manchester City.
After all, their team has been formed for several years. Although people have come and gone in the past few years, the overall framework is still here.
In other words, Southampton's players are more skilled workers, while Manchester City's players are a bit worse. If the assembly line is accelerated, Southampton's players are a little messy, but they are better than Manchester City's players.
And this kind of "better" is the key for Ji Ya to make the team speed up!
The most terrible thing is that even if Guardiola sees it, he has no other way. This is a manifestation of hard power, unless Manchester City can forcibly suppress the rhythm and not reveal more flaws. Southampton Discovery, otherwise, you can only follow the opponent's rhythm!
Guardiola knew exactly this, so he seemed a little helpless.
If the game enters a mutual explosion rhythm, it will not be very beneficial to Manchester City. Although they have a surplus of goals, a draw is enough, but if the goals are explosive, a draw is a very fragile thing.
Now we can only grit our teeth and explode each other. If Manchester City can maintain a tie or advantage in the second half, then start defense. This is the only way!
After Guardiola made such a determination and implemented it, the game on the field began to become more lively.
The two sides began to attack back and forth at a fast pace, looking for opportunities to score.
Passing back and forth, attacking, looking for flaws... In such a fast attack, players from both sides showed their strength and skills, proving that they are one of the best players in the world.
They are constantly looking for opportunities in a narrow space, threatening the opponent's gate when they have the opportunity, and the goalkeepers and defensive players on both sides continue to show their strength and interfere with the opponent's offense.
After Edson made consecutive saves here, Gulacci used a wonderful attack to stop Manchester City's attack. Kompany just intercepted De Bruyne's pass to Du Yue. Hurt knew his shame and was brave, entangled Aguero, and broke the ball from under his feet.
In such entanglements, Southampton finally scored again in the No. 301 minute!
Alvarez took the ball in the frontcourt, and then he was about to give it to De Bruyne, who was responding. As soon as the ball was passed, it was destroyed by Fernandinho who returned to the defense, but the destroyed ball flew to On the other side of the penalty area, Du Yue appeared in that position, facing the ball rolling over, he shot a powerful kick!
Unreasonable shot!
The ball roared and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. Although Edson responded, he was still a step behind!
After all, facing such a close-range shot, no matter how good Edson is, it is difficult to save the ball!
"Du Yue! No. 30 two goals! Southampton took the lead again! In the last crucial battle, whether it was Southampton or Du Yue, they both showed excellent form, proving that they The courage and fighting spirit you have in this life-and-death battle!"
Du Yue opened his arms and rushed out, but was stopped by his teammates halfway through the rush, and then there was a burst of crazy celebration!
"In another game, Salah also took the lead in scoring goals for Liverpool, also with 32 goals! The competition for the top scorer this season is equally fierce! Kane also scored goals! But he is only 29 now Goals, it is already very difficult to surpass these two! What a pity, he scored [-] goals last season, but failed to be the top scorer, will he come again this season?"
A commentator said regretfully, indeed, Kane's performance in the past two seasons is also quite top-notch, but it's a pity that he met a guy who scored more goals...
Amidst the crazy shouts of the Southampton fans, Guardiola fell into thinking. Southampton now clearly wants to use a fast-paced impact to deal with Manchester City. This has been shown in Liverpool's previous game against Manchester City. Got it - very effective!
Although the situation of Southampton and Liverpool is different, they can still play fast, not to mention that their midfield is more stable. Under such circumstances, it is more secure to speed up the rhythm of attack through the midfield.
Manchester City was dragged down by Liverpool before because the control of the midfield could not suppress the opponent's fast attack, so the two losses were temperless. This was determined by Manchester City's tactics. It may exceed the upper limit of tactics formulated by oneself!
