After Sudong assisted Di Maria and scored a goal, Sunderland was greatly stimulated.
The head coach on the sidelines, Steve Bruce, is a passionate English man. He is constantly directing the team, ordering the players to continue attacking Manchester City and exerting more powerful pressure.
Sunderland was like a wounded barbarian. The bloodshed not only did not scare him, but further stimulated his wildness and continued to launch a more violent counterattack against Manchester City.
But Sunderland's counterattack is destined to be short-lived, because under Manchester City's passing and ball-control system, their physical energy consumption will become more and more serious, and they may even end up exhausted and at the mercy of others.
Just ten minutes later, Manchester City launched another attack.
After Toni Kroos got the ball in his own half, he glanced ahead and quickly sent a long pass directly to the penalty area on the right side of the front court. Sanchez moved forward at the fastest speed and rushed straight into the goal.
restricted area.
After the ball landed on the right side of the penalty area, Sanchez was pursued and interfered by Richardson. Goalkeeper Minot Wright took a step ahead, abandoned the goal, jumped high, and picked the ball out of mid-air.
Sanchez took off a step too late and missed a very good opportunity.
Richardson was born in Manchester United. After coming to Sunderland, he has been the main force of the team. At the age of 26, he is in the best condition of his career and is very active.
After stopping Sanchez, he immediately ran to the left.
Minor Wright quickly threw the ball to Richardson.
The former Manchester United player stopped the ball and moved forward, taking a few steps forward in an attempt to plan an attack.
But at this time, Su Dong had already run to the left immediately, trying to block Sanchez's loophole, put pressure on Sunderland's ball-carrying player in time, and delay the Black Cats' counterattack.
Sanchez in front also ran back immediately after his attack was frustrated.
There were no defenders within ten meters around Richardson, but he felt the pressure from Sudong and Sanchez.
Maybe it was because he didn't have enough confidence in his own skills, or maybe it was because of other reasons. Anyway, his choice was to take the first step before the two of them approached, and pass the ball back to the central defender Bramble behind.
Logically speaking, there aren't many problems with such a pass.
The real problem is that he wanted to avoid Sanchez, so he passed the ball in front of Bramble, but in doing so, he gave Su Dong another very good opportunity.
The moment Richardson passed the ball, Su Dong realized that the ball was approaching him.
So he immediately gave up pressing Richardson and turned around and rushed directly towards Bramble.
Bramble was on the penalty area line. When he saw Richardson passing the ball in front of him, he could only run forward.
But what he didn't expect was that Su Dong was faster. Like a bolt of lightning, he rushed straight to him from the left in an instant. Before he could stop the ball, he took the first step to intercept the ball and let Bu
Rambull made a comeback.
Everyone knows that successful frontal interception is often the scariest thing.
Because you can launch an attack directly.
After Su Dong grabbed the ball, he rushed directly to the penalty area with the ball.
Bramble reacted quickly enough and immediately entangled Su Dong.
But Su Dong suddenly made an emergency stop, quickly passed the ball to his left foot with his right foot, and moved his whole body horizontally to the top of the arc, relying on his skillful foot skills to control the ball steadily.
When Su Dong rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, Michael Turner could no longer calm down and rushed straight towards Su Dong. He and Bramble blocked Su Dong head-on, fearing that Su Dong would get another chance to kick.
.
Everyone knows that the front edge of the penalty area is already within Su Dong's shooting range.
In front of him were two tall central defenders, with Henderson and Carter Mohler chasing behind him. Su Dong was once again trapped in a circle, and the scene seemed familiar.
But this time, he first made an emergency stop, held the ball firmly, and then made a fake move, pretending to hit the goal with his foot, causing both Michael Turner and Bramble to make misjudgments, and then flicked his left foot.
Send a light diagonal pass.
The ball passed between the two central defenders Turner and Bramble and fell to the right side of the goal.
Sanchez, who had been ready to go just now, was like a rocket at this time, diagonally crossing the right side of the penalty area from behind Bramble at extremely fast speeds. He did not stop the ball at all, but fired directly with his right foot, directly hitting Su Dong.
The pass was sent into the Sunderland goal.
After scoring the goal, Sanchez roared loudly and jumped up on the spot, looking extremely excited.
"Man City! Manchester City scored again!!!!"
"In just ten minutes, Manchester City won two games in a row!"
"Another wonderful assist from Su Dong!"
"It's really amazing. Manchester City made two quick counterattacks in just ten minutes and penetrated Sunderland's goal. All of them were wonderful assists from Su Dong!"
The entire Stadium of Light was booing loudly.
Sunderland fans were quite dissatisfied with this result, especially Sudong's performance.
It's so depressing, isn't it?
Our players have obviously worked so hard, so diligently, and so devotedly, so why is it always Manchester City who scores the goals?
This is simply unbearable!
After Sanchez scored, he quickly rushed to the sidelines.
Su Dong also caught up immediately. After the two high-fived each other at the corner, they hugged vigorously. Su Dong even touched Sanchez's head with a smile.
He is about 1.7 meters tall, which is exactly in line with Su Dong's height.
Other Manchester City players also rushed to catch up and surrounded the two.
"Since the beginning, Manchester City's passing and possession play has indeed been disrupted by Sunderland, but Sunderland also paid a heavy price for this, especially in terms of physical fitness and defensive formation, which made Manchester City recover after they recovered.
, two consecutive attacks created threats and scored goals."
"Su Dong's assists are quite clever. Whether it is the kick to Di Maria or the assist to Sanchez, they all show Su Dong's super personal strength. They are all passed under the pressure of the defensive players.
To create opportunities for teammates.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It is worth mentioning that after two assists tonight, Su Dong has reached five assists in the Premier League this season, ranking first in the assist list.
He surpassed Didier Drogba and ranked first in the assists list, and even scored more goals than him."
"So far, Su Dong has only scored four goals in the Premier League."
"I have to say that this is a very new thing. We even have reason to worry whether Su Dong will gradually change his characteristics as a scorer and add more passes and assists under Guardiola's transformation.
?”
"As a result, countless fans will definitely feel sorry for this."
…
Su Dong transformed into a tactical center?
Do not make jokes!
Even if Su Dong is willing, the Manchester City management will not accept his change, and even Guardiola is not willing for him to do this. The reason is very simple. Today, Manchester City needs goals from Su Dong more than ever.
You know, last season, a very important problem why Manchester City was weak offensively was the center.
Santa Cruz performed well at Blackburn. He is tall, not slow, and has good foot skills, but his body is not strong enough. He is a typical South American center with a keen sense of scoring in front of the goal and a certain ability to get the ball.
and passing ability, but his back-up and physical confrontation abilities are very poor.
After picking up the ball with his back, he has almost no ability to turn around and get rid of it.
The players on the two wings, whether it is Di Maria and Sanchez, or Adam Johnson and Wright Phillips, are very good assisters and wing attackers. They can create enough opportunities for the frontcourt.
Shot opportunity.
As a result, all the pressure to score will fall on Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz is good at grabbing points, has excellent header ability, and has a keen sense of smell, but attacking difficulties is not his strong point. Once he is trapped in a dense circle of opponents, he immediately disarms and has no choice.
So it will appear that Manchester City has a very obvious advantage in possession of the ball, and the two wings are also very lively, but there are very few goals.
There are even often embarrassing situations where Manchester City has the upper hand but cannot score, and is eventually defeated by a counterattack by the opponent.
These are all caused by weak offense without exception.
Because of this, after the introduction of Su Dong this season, Manchester City's entire offensive situation has been completely opened up.
In terms of scoring ability, Su Dong is more than one level better than Santa Cruz; in terms of foot skills, Su Dong is infinitely more refined than Santa Cruz; in terms of physical strength confrontation, Su Dong even crushes Santa Cruz.
As one of the world's top centers, Su Dong is particularly good at picking up the ball with his back and turning away.
Therefore, it is obvious that after Su Dong joined, Manchester City's entire offensive level improved by leaps and bounds, which in turn drove the team's overall performance. This was the reason for their winning streak at the beginning of this season.
In this case, even if Su Dong himself is willing to transform, Manchester City's management and Guardiola will never allow him to transform.
If for no other reason, do they still want to make the same mistakes as last season?

…………
With Manchester City scoring consecutive goals, Steve Bruce finally had no choice but to choose defense. He really couldn't let his team be exposed to Manchester City's fire like this anymore.
As Sunderland strengthened its defense, Manchester City's offense was also curbed.
During the halftime break, Steve Bruce replaced two players at once. First, to strengthen the team's defense, and at the same time, he replaced Welbeck, who was on loan from Manchester United, to play full-time on counterattacks.
Steve Bruce's substitution intention is very obvious, which is to continue to defend and wait for opportunities to counterattack.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City continued to firmly control the ball and the situation on the field, patiently wearing down Sunderland, constantly looking for opportunities, and always ready to give the opponent the most fatal blow.
Until the 63rd minute, Sanchez made a forced breakthrough on the right and kicked the ball into Richardson's legs in front of the baseline. It bounced out of the baseline and earned Manchester City a corner kick.
David Silva quickly ran over and took the corner kick.
Several tall players from Manchester City also came to Sunderland's penalty area, making the already crowded penalty area suddenly more crowded.
