Chapter 973
"After Sterling played, Manchester City's frontcourt rhythm has become a lot smoother, and the effect is still very good!"
"However, Sterling's dribbling breakthrough did not come into play. We used to see Sterling playing a lone ranger on the wing, preferring to kill the ball rather than pass the ball, but in this game However, Sterling passed the ball frequently and did not show the style of the Lone Ranger!"
Sterling's performance after playing is indeed surprising.
After all, Sterling gave the fans the feeling that he is a lone ranger, even if he kicks a big ball, he will not pass the ball even if he is dead.
But in this game, Sterling passed the ball frequently, as if the ball was burning his feet. As long as the ball came to his feet, he passed it directly without controlling his feet.
Lucky would also look at Sterling inexplicably.
Has this guy changed his style?
Lucky still paid close attention to Sterling. After all, once he loosened his defense on Sterling and let this guy slip away, it would be impossible to catch him again.
For this reason, Lucky is standing close to Sterling.
However, Sterling's playing style made Luckai feel a little uncomfortable. Compared with passing the ball, Lucky preferred Sterling to dribble and break through as before.
In this way, Le Kai will better restrict the opponent.
Sterling kept moving up and down the wing, his eyes not only on his teammates, but also on Lucky.
Once there is any disturbance on Le Kai's side, he will immediately pass the ball out.
That gesture seemed to say, as long as I pass fast, you won't be able to grab the ball.
But Sterling is not a fool, he knows what the task Guardiola entrusted to him is.
But dribbling and breaking through is one way, and passing the ball forward to penetrate is also a good way.
In the past, Sterling played very independently, but this does not mean that Sterling will not pass the ball.On the contrary, Sterling's passing ability and awareness are very good.
Especially in terms of the last pass.
However, in the past, he needed to provide some rhythm changes for the stiff frontcourt, for which he needed more dribbling breakthroughs.
But now, he needs to integrate into the group and pass the ball to kill Lucky and Arsenal's defense.
It has to be said that Sterling's decision actually caused a different effect.
After Sterling came on the field, his wing attracted enough attention, causing Sane on the other wing to become a fish in water.
Under the passes of De Bruyne and Silva, Sane's attack on the wing achieved good results.
Even helped Aguero complete two shots, but both shots were blocked by Arsenal.
Although it didn't work, at least it worked.
This is great news for Manchester City.
"Keep going!"
Guardiola kept clapping on the sidelines to encourage the players.
At this moment, Manchester City's tasks are also extremely distant.
In the championship game, the opponent scored two goals in a row. In this situation, they must make enough adjustments.
The ball rolled to Sterling's feet again.
Le Kai turned around and was about to rush over.
But Sterling scored the ball towards the middle, without any intention of dribbling.
Lucky could only turn around and block the passing channel between De Bruyne and Sterling.
But De Bruyne distributed the ball to the neutral space on the right wing with an outer instep arc.
Sane slapped his horse and rushed, and made an arc run and passed the ball directly.
Aguero lost to Hummels in the fight for the top, and the ball went to Luckai's feet.
After Lucky stopped the ball, he did not turn around and fight back, but passed the ball to Kanter who was going forward.
Kanter received a pass from Lucky and sent it straight forward.
This kind of transmission saves more time for counterattack.
Although Lucky did not initiate the attack, it made more effective use of the counterattack time.
The ball rolled to Aubameyang, who passed the ball directly to Giroud who retreated.
Giroud turned his head to look at Mane on the other side, trying to deceive Manchester City defender Otamendi through his eyes and body turning.
But he still underestimated Otamendi's calmness. The latter made a sudden attack when Giroud looked at Mane. He squeezed forward desperately, squeezed Giroud away, and firmly controlled the ball.
"Girou! This foot is slow!"
Andy Gray shook his head.
The Manchester City fans also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Now they will be worried every time they see Arsenal's counterattack. After all, if they score another goal, they will be three goals behind.
This is something they cannot accept.
The ball was passed to Starling's feet again.
Sterling has become a hub for offensive and defensive transitions.
Even the Manchester City players feel that the changed style of Sterling fits them better.
But this time, Sterling did not pass the ball, but instantly started to dribble forward.
The reason is simple!
Robertson did not follow up immediately.
"Oops!"
Lucky immediately galloped back to help with all his strength.
Lucky retreated in a straight line.
Sterling is going forward obliquely, so even though Lucky's speed is slower, he is still in front of Sterling
Sterling made a few swaying movements, but Lucky remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the ball.
Seeing that Lucky didn't eat his fake moves at all, Sterling also felt troubled.
But at this time, De Bruyne has suddenly passed by.
Sterling stood still and passed the ball laterally.
At this moment, Le Kai suddenly stepped out.
This kick was extremely quick and decisive.
Seeing that the ball was about to be poked out by Le Kai, Sterling suddenly stepped on the ball with his right foot and pulled it in his direction.
Lucy jumped to nothing.
And Sterling also staggered, but before falling to the ground, Sterling still distributed the ball to the left.
In that position, David Silva burst out suddenly.
With a sudden kick of the ball, he went directly into the penalty area.
At this time, there was no defensive player beside David Silva.
"Silva!!! Arsenal are in danger!!!"
Goalkeeper Martinez also saw Silva, and he quickly wanted to run to the left.
But David Silva didn't give him a chance to run at all, and directly pushed with his right foot.
This is a push from the lower left corner, and the angle is extremely tricky.
Martinez struggled forward to save, but still failed to touch the ball.
The ball rolled into the field.
In the 42nd minute, at the moment of the end of the first half, Manchester City pulled back a goal.
"David Silva!! Beautiful push, beautiful movement!!"
"He pulled back a goal for Manchester City. Manchester City was not discouraged when they fell behind by two goals. They showed a very strong tactical advancement ability!"
"Of course, Guardiola's substitution also had an effect. Sterling's continuous pass was shaking. He not only deceived Kai with the pass just now, but also deceived us!"
Sterling stood there for a while, then seemed to react, and turned to celebrate with his teammates.
Le Kai got up from the ground, his expression was a little helpless.
Shit feint.
At that time, Sterling was passing the ball, but this guy used his terrifying reaction ability to quickly adjust, temporarily pulled the ball back, and distributed it to the other side.
At that time, Lucky's center of gravity had completely deviated, otherwise, he could still continue to restrict it.
Sterling was very happy, even though he knew that the ball was caught just now.
It is simply impossible for him to come back a second time.
But... so what, no one but himself knows it's a lie.
As long as he is absolutely sure that he is not deceived, it is not deceived!
The smile on Sterling's face became even brighter.
After all, in this situation, any highlight moment will be infinitely magnified.
What's more, he passed Lucky and made an assist pass.
It can be said that this goal has 80.00% of the credit for Sterling.
"Sterling handled the ball really well, he fooled everyone!"
Manchester City's assistant coach said.
Guardiola also clapped his hands and nodded.
Although he had some doubts that Sterling was fooled, after all, he had never played this kind of ball before.
But these are not important anymore, whether it is a trick or not, anyway, they have already scored a goal.
There are still about 3 minutes before the end of the first half, and they can continue to try to completely equalize the score.
Even if they can't, they have to make some tactical adjustments in the second half, so that Manchester City can play more smoothly in the second half.
Manchester City pulled back a goal, which is very friendly news for Manchester City fans.
With this goal, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, not so uncomfortable.
But how to adjust in the second half?
Whether they can show a good performance in the second half and even equalize the score is also the key.
