Vol 7 Chapter 21: God (1)

From the role of the protagonist to the protagonist, Manchester City has not been able to adapt to this change. Compared with their long-established neighbors, who lack the courage to turn a corner in adversity, Dzeko, Aguero, Yaya Toure, and Kompany, the core players in the Manchester City team, also do not have the calmness brought by being at the top of the world. And confidence, even including Pellegrini, fell just steps away from the top stage.
Manchester City on the field is still seeking to tie, but in any case, it gives people a sense of struggle and futility. The players are still running hard, but more are just "pretending". If the normal ability is 10, and the normal performance is between 8 and 12, then the ability is still 10, and the performance is only 8 or even lower. This determines that in some moments of confrontation, they tend to give up in self-doubt of "what if we win this?" because of the loss of confidence, and when everyone gives up in this way, it will show that "we are all working hard, but we just can't play." out" attitude.
Unless a powerful variable is injected into this process, it can be reversed. Some coaches rely on meticulous substitutions, some coaches rely on on-the-spot incentives, and some rely on super giants.
The super giant has the powerful ability to turn corruption into magic, and the super giant has a strong self-confidence that does not panic. Unfortunately, there are only three people in the super giant and it is crowded enough, and Wang Ai is the only one who often substitutes among the three super giants.
Whoever has Wang Ai will have this trick, and now Pellegrini has made this trick.
Wang Ai ignored the expectant glances of his teammates. He kept a calm expression and ran to Yingfeng's position to wait for the game to resume. Wang Ai's calmness made his teammates feel uneasy: This guy who scored more than 10 goals in a training game, wouldn't he suddenly be in bad shape?
In the 78th minute, Wang Ai in the middle of the frontcourt took over and Kompany went straight and then passed Zheko diagonally, and then moved forward quickly. Zheke found Wang Ai's movement and tried to cooperate, but his intentions were too obvious. As a result, when he made an oblique pass in front of Wang Ai, he was destroyed by the header of the second defender.
Wang Ai immediately moved to grab the ball, and the football was sent to the back wing of Manchester City by another Villa player. Zabaleta and the opponent's midfielder Bakuna began to fight, Dzeko ran back to the half to participate in the defense. Ai also moved to the vicinity of the middle circle and stopped moving.
After several fights, Manchester City finally got the ball. Fernandinho, Nasri, Milner, and Dzeko advanced at the same time. Villa’s defensive system retreated at the same time. After half-time in the football, he has quietly moved to the left of the center, in the halfway between the Villa central defender and the full-back.
Wang Ai's conservative scoring just now caused Nasri, who was sprinting with the ball, to misunderstand. He thought that the super giant was not in good shape or had a strong desire to win, so he let Wang Ai's position at the forefront but never passed it. The ball, until the Villa players in front of him had gathered as many as 9 people, and the imaginary quick counterattack had come to nothing, only then did he realize that his and his teammates' physical fitness and energy were almost exhausted, and the opponent was still due to the favorable situation of the game. When he had enough energy, he noticed Wang Ai, who was pointing at Villa's goal from his ribs, and waved to him.
Nasri's direct pass, of good quality, was sent to Wang Ai from the gap, but it was slightly conservative compared to the most ideal pass. Wang Ai could only temporarily stop and turn around to win the ball from the eyes of the surrounding Villa players. , And after he turned around quickly, the opponent's encirclement has been completed.
There were as many as 4 defenders in front of him and behind him. The one in front of him was afraid of being passed by Wang Ai and kept his distance, while the two left and right behind him were eager to attack, and the nearest teammates were also surrounded by Wang Ai. Knock also does not pose a threat.
Wang Ai can only swipe the football horizontally under his feet, dodge the ball and hit the bottom line.
Gu Ying
This thought happened in an instant, and on the surface it seemed that Wang Ai turned around to catch the ball and made a decisive bottom in the face of multiple defenses.
With Wang Ai's extremely quick escape and lateral pulling, a sharp protrusion appeared on the right side of the straight median line of the Villa team, and the hearts of the audience, the host and the guest were suspended. At this time, Wang Ai had There are two choices, one is to resolutely bottom and then pass, the other is to use the gap torn open by speed to continue to rush, expand, and reach the end point.
Although the first choice is conservative, it is impeccable. Football is a collective sport, and it is normal to seek support from teammates at critical moments. The personal heroism of the second choice is too strong. Of course, everyone cheers when you go in. If you don't go in, you will be suspected of "independence".
More importantly, the second choice has a rigid requirement, that is, you have to run faster than the opponent's central defender!
It just so happens that Wang Ai's biggest gain this summer is 9 seconds 71!
At the moment when the teammates were not yet double-teamed and the opportunity in front of him appeared, Wang Ai did not hesitate to go it alone. When the opponent's central defender was chasing sideways just a beat slower, Wang Ai's momentum started to rise. When he turned around and dribbled the ball, people thought he was going to bottom, but he dribbled the ball past Villa's centre-back and headed straight for the goalkeeper.
In the field of vision of the fans on both sides in the stands, Wang Ai did nothing but stop, catch the ball, turn around, pull horizontally, and run with the ball. In the eyes of the coaches of both sides, it was another scene: the super giant, used the best sprint result of the year he created this summer to pass a mediocre bottom pass, and just ran into a single-handedly!
Figures scurried in front of Villa's goal, and the players on both sides were approaching at high speed. When the first person was like black lightning in the nervous expression of Villa's goalkeeper, when he ran to the penalty spot, the opposing defender was thrown two meters by him. many. The goalkeeper had no choice but to abandon the goal and squat down to flutter the football, but he kept picking up the ball while he was running, flying over the goalkeeper.
There was an uproar, and Chinese fans thousands of miles away were filled with happiness: what am I talking about? The first Premier League goal after five years, it really came!
The sluggish Villa fans behind the bottom line looked at the black figure that didn't even look at the goal after scoring the goal. It seemed to be overlapping with the sea-blue figure five years ago, but it was stronger than that. Only then did they understand what the "supergiant age" that many newspapers had sworn to announce this summer meant.
The ability to rewrite the game on your own!
Manchester City players on the turquoise grass fluttered into the only focal point like a silk thread being pulled, and the smiles on their faces revealed their surprise mood. When they hugged each other, slapped each other, and ran back while talking and laughing, the applause of Manchester City fans did not stop for a moment. They seemed to really see the rise of an indomitable force of a hundred battles.
It's not just about being rich anymore.
