Su Dong's first impression of the Premier League game was, fast!
It's really fast!
When Manchester City kicked off in an away game, Tottenham Hotspur rushed directly to Manchester City's defense at a speed that was too fast to handle, and adopted a very high-intensity press.
With the double forwards of Crouch and Defoe, the wings of Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon, plus Huddlestone and Palacios in the midfield, all six players in the frontcourt were pressed.
Towards Manchester City’s midfield and backfield.
Even Su Dong, who was in the frontcourt, felt an indomitable momentum.
After a round of crazy pressing, Manchester City's ball was stolen. Tottenham Hotspur quickly launched a counterattack, but Crouch's shot was blocked by Kompany.
It's okay, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to press, continue to grab, and continue to press.
Manchester City still has to patiently control the rhythm and possession of the ball, but Tottenham Hotspur looks "anxious".
At the beginning of the game, they used their own aggressive pressing to speed up the pace of the game. At the same time, they also created a lot of threats. First, Gareth Bale took a corner kick, and Crouch headed the goal slightly higher.
out.
Afterwards, they stole the ball and quickly counterattacked. Lennon made a pass from the right, Crouch headed the ball over, Defoe volleyed and was saved by Joe Hart.
Gradually, Tottenham Hotspur almost suppressed Manchester City in the half.
You don't have an advantage in possession of the ball, but you can immediately launch a counterattack after grabbing it.
It feels like beating a master to death with random punches.
And Manchester City's own passing and organization are indeed a bit messy, because Toni Kroos, Pepe and Marcelo are all experiencing the Premier League for the first time, which makes them a little uncomfortable with this kind of rapid start from the beginning.
Tempo pressing and pressing style.
Or it can also be called a mad dog press.
Not to mention them, even Su Dong had a hard time getting the ball in the frontcourt. I couldn't help but wonder: How long can they last with this style of play? Can their physical strength bear it?
Manchester City is now like a scholar who encounters soldiers. He wants to reason (slow down the tempo), but the opponent doesn't care about you. He just punches you. If he wants to reason again, he punches you again with his left hand and continues to talk.
That's right, one more punch...
As a result, Manchester City looked at their opponents depressedly.
Yes, it’s unreasonable and just rolling around, right?
Okay, let me see how you continue to play!
Not to mention, Tottenham Hotspur’s crazy style of play was really effective. It not only suppressed Manchester City, but also frequently created threats. The most dangerous thing was that in the 18th minute, Tottenham Hotspur
San Antonio won three corner kicks in a row.
The right side took a penalty, then it was the left side's turn to take a penalty. After the left side took the penalty, it returned to the right side.
It ended with Huddlestone's long-range shot from 25 meters away, which was slightly higher.
But it has to be said that Tottenham Hotspur's attack completely ignited the atmosphere in the White Hart Lane stadium. This round of attacks after the opening made everyone in Manchester City feel quite frightened.
As a rookie in the Premier League, Su Dong was beating the drum in his heart.
Are all Premier League teams this crazy?
Is every team on the same path as Tottenham Hotspur? Just go ahead and do it regardless of the situation?
Looking at the sidelines, Guardiola was very calm and seemed to be familiar with this situation.
Yes, Klopp also used this style of play when he played Dortmund before. His pressing and pressing was even more structured, but the threat he created was not as great as Tottenham Hotspur's.
These days, people are scared to death.
Tottenham Hotspur started with a certain score. Anyway, I will risk my life with you, labor and management!
He made this move at the beginning and really suppressed Manchester City.
However, you can't be invincible even with a life-threatening style of play.
If you fight with others desperately, what if they hide?
Not only can you hide, but you can also hide very well. How do you deal with it?
So there was this scene on the field. Tottenham Hotspur pressed hard and attacked desperately when they got the ball. They gave full play to Crouch's height, Defoe's sense of smell, and Gareth Bale and Arsenal.
Lennon's two-wing attack.
By the way, there is also a Helstone rear plug.
But Manchester City's strategy is not to go head-to-head with Tottenham Hotspur, but to pass and control the ball blindly, try to stabilize the defense while trying to hold the ball, and play hide-and-seek with you, but they will not fight you.
…………
…………
When Harry Redknapp saw that another attacking opportunity failed to score, he slapped his forehead hard and hissed.
"What the hell, where's the hide-and-seek?"
Who says it's not?
Except when defending, Manchester City basically avoided Tottenham and played. It really felt like a hawk catching a chicken.
"They are not only hiding, but most importantly, they are consuming us." Kevin Bond frowned.
How could Harry Redknapp not know this?
"Guardiola can really keep his composure. The most important thing is that the players at Manchester City can also keep their composure, especially Pepe. Didn't they say he has a bad temper before?" Redknapp
Very depressed.
How many headers have been grabbed by Crouch?
Why isn't this kid upset?
Manchester City's three midfielders, David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets, all look calm, and there is a feeling that if you grab whatever you want, you will win.
In fact, Redknapp felt that even if Tottenham scored two goals, these three people could still control the ball like this.
"What a perfect match!" Joe Jordan said with a wry smile.
How they hope that Manchester City can have fiery kings like Roy Keane and Vieira, who can ignite at the slightest moment.
But unfortunately, these midfielders seemed to have no emotions. No matter how Tottenham grabbed, attacked, or did whatever they wanted, they had no intention of following Tottenham's rhythm.
This is the most depressing thing.
"Twenty minutes have passed and we have consumed a lot." Kevin Bond reminded.
The problem is not that it consumes a lot of money, but that it doesn't achieve the results they expected.
It neither disrupted Manchester City's rhythm nor scored a goal. At best, it can only be said that Manchester City was unable to organize an effective attack.
Redknapp was a little reluctant.
After working so hard to form such a lineup, if you really want to retreat, you can only wait for a counterattack.
The 4-4-2 formation has no advantage at all in the midfield, not to mention that Manchester City's current three midfielders have strong ball-taking and passing abilities, which makes Tottenham even more passive.
After retreating, there will probably be no chance of getting out again.
Therefore, Redknapp was a little hesitant.
Although he is a veteran British coach, Redknapp is not conservative. He has always hoped to develop a continental style of play like Ferguson, Wenger and other famous coaches, so he is actively introducing Real Madrid midfielder Van der Vaart.
I want to change Tottenham Hotspur's British style of play.
Because of this, he is unwilling to retreat now.
But just when he was unwilling to retreat, something suddenly happened on the court.
…
When Manchester City's defense was successful, David Silva quickly dribbled the ball across the center line, and under Palacios' interception, passed the ball to Marcelo on the left.
Marcelo stopped the ball, got rid of Aaron Lennon's entanglement, and crossed the ball along the center line.
Toni Kroos receives the ball unguarded in the center circle.
After receiving the ball sideways, he turned to face the direction of the attack and glanced ahead. Toni Kroos did not wait for Huddlestone to approach, made a slight adjustment, and quickly kicked an overhead long pass with his right foot, sending the ball directly to the goal.
restricted area.
Su Dong was also paying attention to the movement of the ball in the frontcourt. When he saw that the ball path on the left was blocked, he immediately gave up the idea of going to the left to receive the ball and instead ran to the right.
He guessed that since the left wing was not open, the ball would soon be transferred to the right wing and handed to Sanchez.
But when Sudong ran between Tottenham defenders Michael Dawson and Hector, he saw that Toni Kroos did not continue to pass the ball to the right, but was adjusting.
Tottenham's defense is a little too high!
Having partnered with Toni Kroos for many years, Su Dong immediately guessed his thoughts. After a sudden stop, he changed his direction from the original direction to the right and rushed forward, rushing towards the penalty area at the fastest speed.
Almost at the same time, Toni Kroos sent the ball over the top with a long pass.
Su Dong's starting speed tore apart Tottenham Hotspur's defense at that moment, shook off Michael Dawson, rushed straight to the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area, and stopped the ball in mid-air.
Come down.
Hector was the first to react and chased after Su Dong. However, goalkeeper Gomez saw Su Dong stop the ball and immediately abandoned the goal and rushed directly towards Su Dong.
After Su Dong stopped the ball with his right foot, he blocked Hector with his body. He tried to hit with his right foot, causing Gomez to fall to the ground halfway. But in fact, Su Dong moved the ball to the left with his right foot.
The buckle was buckled directly to his left foot.
Before Michael Dawson could rush over, Su Dong made a clever shot with his left foot.
The ball passed over the fallen Gomez and went straight to the left side of the goal.
Michael Dawson was one step too slow to stop it.
Ledley King ran forward all the way, rushed straight to the goal, desperately trying to head the ball away, but in the end, he even dribbled the ball directly into his own goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"In the 23rd minute, Manchester City counterattacked and Su Dong scored his first goal after joining Manchester City!!!!"
"This is also the first goal in the Premier League this season!"
"My God, Toni Kroos passed the ball beautifully, but Su Dong's stoppage and subsequent calm handling of many defensive players and goalkeepers, this is definitely a goal that reflects his super personal ability.
ball."
"It was only twenty-three minutes, please remember this time. Su Dong only played twenty-three minutes in the Premier League and opened the scoring for Manchester City!"
"Tottenham Hotspur played very actively after the opening and pressed very fiercely, but Manchester City's sharp counterattack directly tore apart Tottenham Hotspur's defense."
"Such a scene was never seen in Manchester City last season."
"Su Dong used this goal to announce his arrival to the Premier League!"
"At the same time, it is also telling all opponents that Manchester City this season is no longer the Manchester City last season."
