Chapter five hundred and ninety first Dick's value
"The second half of the game is about to begin! Manchester City has encountered some troubles recently. The loss in the last round proved that Manchester City cannot lack the combat effectiveness of Torres. However, Torres will not be able to play until after the New Year. For Manchester City, the Christmas schedule seems a bit
It's hard... This game exposed something in the first half. Although Di Natale is an excellent shooter, in a tactical sense, he cannot replace Torres. Vassell should be a good one.
A substitute, but he has now been put into the reserve team... If Manchester City continues to play like this, this game may not be good. I think based on Manchester City's current situation, Vassell should be reactivated and wait until the winter transfer window opens.
I’ll make other arrangements later…”
In a way, the commentator's evaluation is very correct. However, neither he nor Vassell expected that Dick would have such a back-up, so after seeing Manchester City's lineup in the second half
, the commentator was also shocked...
"Eighteen-year-old Daniel Sturridge was replaced by Dick... He replaced Parker in the midfield, and Manchester City began to strengthen their attack! This young player made two appearances for Manchester City last season and is one height tall.
He is 88 meters tall and weighs 76 kilograms. Although he looks a little thin, he is really a good prospect for a center...Does Dick want to use such a young player to strengthen Manchester City's center position?"
"Young Sturridge is on the field! This center has just come out of a ten-month injury. Is he in shape to play the game now? This is not a waste time for him to find game shape.
But Manchester City needs to reverse the situation. Can Sturridge show his abilities in such an environment? Let us wait and see!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, Sturridge walked onto the court with his teammates. He knew what his task was, which was to confront the opponent's defender in the penalty area, and then strive to score for himself and at the same time help his teammates.
They get more space to move. Manchester City will play a little rougher in the second half, so it depends on how many opportunities he can create in the penalty area.
Such a task is very heavy, but Sturridge likes it very much, because after recuperating for such a long time, more than a month of training allowed Sturridge to slowly regain the feeling of confrontation, which is what is needed now.
It’s time to find more feelings on the playing field!
Dick gave him such an opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
After the start of the second half, everyone soon discovered that Manchester City began to play simpler and rougher. They did not pursue too much passing cooperation, but quickly hit the ball to the wing or the center, and then directly
Looking for opportunities in the penalty area, Sturridge constantly confronted Bolton's defenders in the penalty area, creating space and opportunities for Manchester City.
This style of play is not complicated. In the first half, Manchester City mainly lacked such a center. How effective is Sturridge's play now? This is the question that everyone is paying attention to.
Then they soon discovered that Sturridge's performance was very outstanding.
He was constantly fighting against Bolton's defenders. Although he was not particularly outstanding in terms of weight, his strength was very good. Bolton's defenders could not take advantage of him, which made Manchester City's offense
With a fulcrum in the penalty area, Di Natale began to move more flexibly instead of reluctantly engaging in physical confrontation with the opponent's central defender.
Adeisler began to realize that something was wrong, because although this style of play is what Bolton is good at, it is obvious that except for Manchester City's center position, the confrontation in other positions was no worse than Bolton, and Manchester City has more
Excellent players, the ability to seize opportunities is better than Bolton. With similar tactics, Manchester City's players are better. After making up for the weakness of the center position, it is almost a matter of course for them to gain an advantage...
Thirteen minutes after the start of the second half, Young made a breakthrough from the wing and then made a cross. Sturridge competed with the opponent's central defender in the penalty area, forcing the opponent's central defender to make a mistake. The clearance ball flew towards his own goal. Although goalkeeper Jaaskelainen
Making a beautiful save, Ribery broke into the penalty area and shot before the Bolton defender could clear the ball, and the ball went into Bolton's goal!
"The goal went in! Manchester City equalized the score! Ribery's supplementary shot! But this goal is thanks to the young player Sturridge's active pressing. If it weren't for his pressing, Ribery may not have such a chance! Dick
What a genius! One substitution solved the problem that Manchester City is facing now! Forming a team before the season can make a team strong quickly, and make up for one defect after another through substitutions and adjustments during the game! This is how
It’s the style of a top head coach!”
The commentator gave the words of praise to Sturridge and also to Dick. The reason is very simple. This man was replaced by Dick. His performance was outstanding, and Dick naturally also deserves credit!
Dick clapped his hands and shouted to the court: "Keep playing like this! We are going to win this game!"
"Big Sam" Adeisler looked at Dick helplessly. He now knew why Dick was so awesome. As long as this guy found a place where the opponent could not resist, he would fight with all his heart until he won.
, with accurate vision and the ability to go on firmly, how can he fight against such a tactical arrangement? Bolton's overall strength is somewhat poor, and the flaws he caught before were made up for by Dick during the halftime break. Now Ah
What else could Deisler do?
Now Manchester City's attack is very fast, fast up and down, so that Bolton's counterattack cannot achieve very good results, and in such a back and forth sprint, Manchester City is much more likely to seize the goal opportunity than Bolton...
...In this situation, even if the gods come, there is no way to fight without good players to adjust!
To put it bluntly, Dick is now using force to overwhelm others and use more resources to fight against Adeisler. He does not play any tricks. He has a heavy sword without an edge and is clever but useless. It is too difficult to catch his loopholes.
…
In the shouts of Manchester City fans, Manchester City continued to launch waves of attacks. Now in the entire tactics, Manchester City has taken the initiative. The possibility of winning is very high. Even if they cannot win, Manchester City will win in the next game.
There won't be any flaws, this is something that fans can see.
Fans can see it, and Vassell can also naturally see that the good mood in the first half has disappeared. Vassell knows at this time that he really has no future in Manchester City, and he is transferring.
I'm afraid I may not be able to find any better place in the market...
His current salary is not low, and small teams may not be able to afford his salary. Big teams also look down on him because of his lack of performance. The 28-year-old former England international is really starting to feel confused now.
Vassell regretted a little at this time. If he had known that Dick would be so tough and had backup plans, he would have been more honest... But regretting it now, what's the use? He still has a contract with Manchester City for more than one year.
It would be really miserable if he didn't get to his next home. If Dick had to wait like this for a year, I'm afraid he would have no choice but to go to the lower leagues and cut his salary...
At this time, the Manchester City players will not care about Vassell's mood, nor will Sturridge. He knows his position. He is not famous and is young. Being able to contribute is the only thing he can do now.
matter.
Under such a mentality, Sturridge played very well, and Bolton would not concentrate on marking him, because when it comes to the threat of scoring, others are much greater. He only gave Manchester City a fulcrum in the penalty area.
, the offense can be played more smoothly.
When the game reached the 77th minute, the City Stadium was boiling!
Ribery dribbled the ball across, and then distributed the ball to Richards who was running in from the wing. Richards made a cross from the wing. Di Natale's involvement attracted the attention of the Bolton defender, and the ball jumped from the back point.
Sturridge faced the falling ball and hit the goal with a powerful swing of his head!
The ball flew into Bolton's goal from the near corner! Jaaskelainen, who had performed well before, could only do nothing in the face of this header. A header from close range has always been the most difficult shot to save!
"The goal was scored! Three to two, Manchester City took the lead! The goal was scored by the 18-year-old Sturridge who came on the bench! Dick really has the ability to turn stone into gold! Bell, Sturridge, these are all young
With the addition of the 18-year-old Richards and goalkeeper Hart, Manchester City began their youth storm! Dick not only spent money to buy people, but also trained young players... He also continued this style.
Arriving at Manchester City! Manchester City should thank Dick, because even if he leaves Manchester City in the future, he will definitely leave a valuable asset to Manchester City! This is where his value lies!"
Sturridge rushed off the field and picked Dick up. Such a perfect debut!
Dick laughed loudly, patted Sturridge on the back after landing, and then said with a smile: "Go ahead and keep working hard!"
For young players, it is often very satisfying to be able to occasionally get some opportunities to play... This is the case for Sturridge now. He does not have much pursuit yet. He can play in the league and contribute his strength.
, that is enough. After all, for young players, as long as they show their abilities, they will not worry about not going anywhere.
After taking the lead, Manchester City began to show their strong strength and continued to attack. Bolton wanted to counterattack, but their attackers were stared at by the Manchester City players. Anelka and Di
The two players who need space from Uf rarely find opportunities to counterattack. Under such circumstances, it is already very difficult for Bolton to equalize the score.
Yaya Toure scored a goal to seal the victory for Manchester City in the 90th minute. Sturridge passed the header to Di Natale. Before Di Natale fell to the ground, his shot hit the opponent's defender and bounced out.
It fell at the feet of Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure did not stop the ball but directly hit the ball with great speed at the front of the penalty area. The ball went straight into the blind corner and scored Manchester City's fourth goal of the game.
Goal!
When the final whistle sounded, Dick waved his fist. Now Manchester City's substitute players are gradually beginning to show their abilities. Although Bale is injured, Ashley Young, Sturridge and others
Vidal in the midfield, Joel Luca in the defense and others are all players who can display their abilities as substitutes. In addition to the main lineup, Manchester City has also begun to gradually have an excellent substitute lineup!
This situation is the overall strength that a strong team should have!
