The highlight of this round of the Premier League is undoubtedly the match between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad at home. In this thrilling battle, both players created a lot of scoring opportunities, and the final result
But it was Silva's golden goal that helped the Blue Moon Legion pull out of the quagmire and continue to advance rapidly in the league standings.
Of course, another focus of both sides in this game is suspected to be on Gunners captain Van Persie: Just 24 hours before the game started, "The Sun" first exposed an explosive news. The newspaper said that the Blue Moon Legion
It has launched an offensive against Van Sheen, who has been in hot form recently, and offered him a super contract with a total value of 41.6 million pounds to attract the Dutchman to land at the Etihad Stadium next summer.
As soon as this news came out, it unexpectedly attracted unanimous recognition and response from the entire Manchester City club. Lescott, who was watching the game from the sidelines, bluntly expressed his desire to fight alongside Van Persie. "Although I don't want to.
We would trade him for any striker in our squad, but it would be great to have him playing for us. We welcome any world-class star to join the team, and Robin van Persie is one of them. He is the biggest and best player in this Arsenal team at the moment.
The main threat."
Not only that, even Mancini, the head coach of Manchester City, came to "interpose": "There is no doubt that Van Persie is comparable to others. His role is just like Aguero's importance to our team.
His recent performance has been fantastic, scoring various goals
An unparalleled goal." Richards, the defense general who returned from injury, said: "Van Persie is simply too important. His 33 goals this year are amazing. If Arsenal can always keep Van Persie, then they will
Only then can we consider competing for the championship.”
It is not difficult to see that the entire Manchester City army affirms the strength of a player like Van Persie. When they meet tonight, the two sides are in different or even hostile camps. The entire Blue Moon army, especially Kompany and Kolo -
A strong defensive line led by Toure,
It can be said that they are trying their best to limit the performance of this Dutch striker, but the 47,303 fans sitting in the stands of the Etihad Stadium do not think so. Some good Manchester City fans have even considered this player from the enemy team.
He regarded the sharp knife as one of his own.
According to a member of the bb radio broadcaster, shortly after the start of the game, the Blue Moon fans on the sidelines sang a song about Van Persie and mocking Arsenal as if they had discussed it in advance: "Van Persie is
Ours, you are just our satellite club, Van Persie is ours (vnpersesourb, vnpersesours)."
Indeed, there are too many stories about the players of Manchester City and Arsenal in this game: in the Blue Moon camp, Nasri and Kolo Toure who played in this game are both former Gunners players, and Yaya
- Toure also had a trial training with Arsenal 8 years ago and almost signed with Wenger. Together with Adebayor, Clichy and other old players, now he has added Van Persie as a "new grudge".
It looks like the tumultuous relationship between the two clubs, Manchester City and Arsenal, is set to continue.
However, it was a Spaniard who contributed to Manchester City in this game.
"Silva gave Manchester City an early Christmas dinner," the Daily Mail praised Silva's performance. Although Silva's goal tonight was just a supplementary shot in front of the goal, it was of great value to Manchester City.
Liancheng. Now Manchester City does not need gorgeous poets, but only iron-blooded warriors. The thin Silva once again stood up. The Guardian even praised Silva's efficiency tonight, "Even if there is only a little performance,
Silva will shine like gold, and tonight he did it."[
With this goal, Silva's number of goals in the Premier League this season increased to 5. In addition, his 8 assists and 42 threatening passes ranked first in the league. It is absolutely true to say that Silva is the creator of the Premier League.
After Silva joined Manchester City for £2,400 last summer, many people in the team were not optimistic about his future. Assistant coach David Platt once recalled: "I didn't expect the club to spend so much money on such a thin player.
"In the first month after David came to the team, I didn't have any communication with him because he was too shy." But Silva was there.
Someone performed a magic trick in front of him. He miraculously performed how a short player with a height of only 170 meters and a weight of only 67 kilograms can traverse the Premier League. "The defenders cannot give him any space because he can pass people in any small space.
Passing the ball, he is a miracle in the Premier League." Former Manchester City defender Barrett said of Silva.
For his ability to adapt to the Premier League so quickly, Silva's explanation is only to "always think one more step." "When I first came to Manchester City, I was not sure whether I could integrate into the Premier League, but Mancini has a special kind of confidence.
, this deeply affected me. Playing in the Premier League, when the ball has not been passed
When you get to your feet, you have to think about what to do next. The physical confrontation and game speed here are higher than in La Liga, and there is never enough time for you to slowly move around. Now I have become faster and more agile.
, I think I have adapted here and I am in the best shape."
Tonight, Silva's performance could not be said to shine in the audience, but it was more effective. With his support, Nasri also played his best game in recent times.
But for Manchester City and Mancini, any wonderful pass and pass can't compare to Silva's goal kick in the 52nd minute. Nasri passed through the space from the left, and Bashen got the ball and hit the goal.
, Szczesny barely blocked the ball. Although Aguero's follow-up shot failed,
Silva, who came in behind, swept his kick into the net. In the flash of lightning, Silva gave up all his skills and completed the kill in the simplest way. I believe that after watching this shot, fans will be better
Understand Silva's evaluation of himself as "faster and more agile".
With skills and speed, Silva's teammates are rare to see him. "The Bull" Richards praised: "He really brought magic to us. He is definitely a world-class player. Tonight's performance
On the field, he and Van Persie are the only ones who can be called world-class." In tonight's world-class duel, Silva can
It is said that he is better than Van Persie. In the last round of the match with his fellow countryman Mata, Silva regretted losing, but tonight in front of Arteta who came from the La Masia youth training camp, Silva has only one appearance in the Premier League.
It has been many years, but in terms of the rationality of the ball, as well as the range and speed of movement, it has achieved a complete victory.
Some fans were so addicted to Silva's artistic football that they even called him an "aphrodisiac." Silva's grandmother always praised her grandson for being well-behaved: "In the years when he left home at the age of 12 to pursue his football dream,
, every time I call him, his voice
They were very young, so I thought he must be having a bad life, but he always reported good things and not bad things. Although he is famous now and has money to buy himself a big house, his girlfriend is not a supermodel, but she has known her since they were 4 years old.
My friend is still studying in Madrid.”
When talking about why Silva’s ball-handling skills are so superior, grandma proudly recalled: “About when he was 4 or 5 years old, he would kick the potatoes I used for cooking at home. That was his earliest
After that, I really had no choice but to sew a few cloth balls out of rags and let him go to the door to kick them. Otherwise, all the ingredients for cooking at home would be kicked."
"To control the ball well, you must master the balance between your legs and the ball." Silva explained his superior ball control skills. The secret is simple, but not everyone can do it well. Silva
The credit for being superior may still be attributed to grandma’s few potatoes.
After every goal, Silva would habitually kiss his left wrist to commemorate his deceased cousin Cynthia. Not only that, Silva also tattooed Cynthia's name on his boots.
Seeing how dedicated Silva is, fans have reason to believe that the Spaniard will help Manchester City create history.
"I am very happy at Manchester City, and the atmosphere in the dressing room is also very harmonious. This team is no longer separate as outsiders say, we are a whole. Am I the best player in the Premier League? Of course not, here
There are too many good players. Last summer I gave up Real Madrid and Barcelona to come to Manchester City. Although it was a risk, it seems that it is definitely the right choice now. Although Manchester City cannot be compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona, in a few years we will definitely
There are enough champions to challenge them," Silva said confidently.
"I am not as serious about playing football as my son is," the elder Silva explained when talking about why his son was successful.
A court genius who can kick potatoes and develop peerless martial arts will definitely help Manchester City win more championships. Back then, Newton changed the world because of an apple smashed on his head. Today, Silva relies on a small
Tudou, who has perfected his unique skills after practicing hard day and night, uses his small body to make a technical storm almost
Subverting the Premier League, his arrival in Britain can cause a revolution in England: Therefore, Silva's success has allowed more and more technical players such as Mata and Aguero to set foot on this land. Silva
Creating an era, he has completely conquered the Premier League and is slowly conquering the world! Football Newton!
On another court, Manchester United also used victory to closely catch up with their rivals in the same city, ranking second in the league.
Before the start of this game, when Manchester United's central midfielder suffered extensive injuries, Carrick's survival did not make Manchester United fans feel the slightest comfort, because in their view, this player who won three consecutive league championships did not feel relieved at all.
The meritorious midfielder has become a useless member of the team, and what awaits him seems to be the fate of being gradually squeezed out of the regular lineup by young people. However, just when the whole world is pronouncing the death sentence of Carrick's Manchester United career, the always low-key Carrick
Ke broke out in silence.[
This game against Queens Park Rangers is definitely the masterpiece of Carrick's career. It can be said that Carrick's performance has never been so impressive since the beginning of Manchester United's "post-three-peat" era. Manchester United No. 9 Li
Jade's lightning goal in the 52nd second of the opening game set the tone for the game from the beginning. Manchester United's main offensive momentum against the away team also set the launch pad for Carrick's explosion.
In the 56th minute of the game, Carrick suddenly started, intercepted Button's cross pass, and launched a counterattack from his own half. Just when everyone believed that Carrick would distribute the ball to the core of the team's offense, Li
When the ball hit Jade, the Manchester United veteran chose to break through with the ball. As a result, when the Queen's Park players discovered Carrick's intention, Carrick had already started to speed up.
Carrick took advantage of this fleeting defensive gap to break through between the two players and drive all the way to the edge of the penalty area. Then he pretended to curl the ball with his right foot and shot into the far corner, but suddenly he fired the ball towards
At the near corner, the opponent's goalkeeper Cerny was caught off guard and saw the ball flying into the net past his fingertips.
After the game, in an interview with "Sky Sports", Carrick said excitedly: "It was very important to get the second goal. Their goalkeeper made several fantastic saves at that time. We all know that re-entry
Only one goal can stabilize the victory. This is a very important three points."
Of course, the importance of the goal needs to be emphasized. From a viewing point of view, this may also be the most exciting goal in Carrick's career. Manchester United's No. 16, criticized by many fans for being slow and soft, came from the backcourt
From intercepting Button's pass, to running 50 meters long, to finally calmly and fatally shooting the near corner, every action was done quickly and accurately. Forlin couldn't even pull and pull from behind to stop Kari.
The firm pace of the counterattack, the cathartic roar after scoring, and the wild tearing of his jersey. Is this the low-key Mr. Carrick?
It was also a solo pass along the left rib. Carrick's goal reminded people of Giggs' classic goal against Arsenal in the 1999 FA Cup. Van Ness
Truy also completed a similar horse-trading joint venture with Fulham in the 20203 season.
But don't forget that Giggs is recognized as a breakthrough expert, and Ruud Ruud is an efficient goal-scoring machine. In comparison, it is particularly rare for Carrick, who is not good at dribbling and shooting, to complete such a goal.
You know, the last time Carrick scored for Manchester United was back on January 27, 2010, when Manchester United defeated Manchester City 3-1 in the League Cup. There was a gap of 690 days between the two goals.
Rick has averaged one goal in 71 appearances on behalf of Manchester United, so when Carrick breaks the goal drought in this way, it will undoubtedly make people marvel as if the iron tree is blooming and the water is flowing backward. And Queen's Park captain Barton, who made this world wave,
He was so upset about his passing error that he even said that he would lock himself in a small dark room to deeply repent, and shed tears in the painful memories.
In addition to the highlight moments of scoring goals, Carrick's performance on both offense and defense was also exciting enough.
In the 15th minute of the game, Carrick dribbled the ball forward and played a two-two with Li Yu. Manchester United's No. 9's through-crotch ball tore open the opponent's last line of defense. Carrick took the ball and broke into the penalty area.
After completing the shot, Luke Young chased back and blocked the ball from the baseline.
In the 20th minute, Carrick sent a scalpel-like through ball, and Valencia was about to face the opponent's goal. Unfortunately, Connolly made a key interception at the last moment and resolved Carrick's ecstasy pass. The first
In the 42nd minute, while returning to defense, Carrick acrobatically picked up the intercepted ball with the outside of his foot, then turned on the spot to complete the clearance. The whole set of actions was done in one go. Whether it was the prediction of the ball path or the use of technical movements, it was called
Perfect.
With Phil Jones sweeping a large area in front of him, Carrick took advantage of his strengths and weaknesses to help defend and anticipate. Those tragic scenes of being turned into wooden stakes by opponents in frontal defense can finally be forgotten. Manchester United can finally be forgotten.
Team boss Ferdinand once praised Carrick as "the most underrated player" and said that only those who play with him truly understand his strength. And this crazy man updated it immediately after the game.
He recognized his own characteristics and reiterated again that Carrick played to the level of a top player today, and he has always been underestimated by many people.
In the whole game, Carrick made 49 of 58 passes, with a passing success rate of 845%, including 812% in the frontcourt. In addition, all 4 tackles were successful, 3 clearances were made, and 13 losses were lost.
The ball was successfully counterattacked 6 times and the team also won 1 free kick.
Just as Manchester United's official website commented on Carrick after the game: In addition to a goal that won the house, Carrick once again demonstrated his value to the team. As an offensive metronome, he plays a role in the team's tactical system.
Extremely precious.
In fact, Carrick's performance in recent games has been remarkable. With a golden partner like Phil Jones who can fly up and down, attack and defend, Carrick's movements are slow and his impact is poor.
His weaknesses were perfectly covered up by "Edwards II". At the same time, Carrick's overall view and passing and control advantages were also brought into full play. The meritorious midfielder who was once sentenced to death has rejuvenated his career.
Second spring.
Carrick, who has the blood of the Red Devils, never gives up. He said: "I have been enjoying my football, and I also believe in the coach's choice. As long as I can maintain my form, I am confident that I can occupy a position in the team."
A place. Now, we have gradually found our rhythm, and I am full of confidence in Manchester United's prospects."
Li Yu regained his shooting boots, Phil Jones adapted to his new role, Xiao Peas returned from injury, and now, Carrick has also regained his form. As Ancelotti said after the Manchester derby defeat, Manchester United is a team that is good at
A team that struck late, but now it seems that the Red Devils, who have hit bottom, have really shown a counterattack posture. This is definitely a dangerous signal for the Premier League powers.
