On the afternoon of September 11, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Blackburn at the Etihad Stadium.
When the game entered the second minute, Manchester City launched a quick attack on the left.
Adam Johnson retreated to press, successfully stole the ball from Blackburn, and quickly handed it to Busquets.
Busquets stopped the ball, turned around, got rid of the defender, and passed the ball to Marcelo.
The Brazilian left back did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball behind him and passed it to the frontcourt.
Adam Johnson moved forward at the fastest speed. The England winger was very fast. After catching up with Marcelo's pass in Blackburn's half, he took the ball forward with long strides.
Su Dong in the middle also moved forward at the fastest speed and pointed far ahead of him.
Adam Johnson dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area, picked up the ball with his left foot and passed it to the center of the penalty area.
Su Dong judged the landing point, rushed forward, jumped high, defeated the central defender Nelson, and headed the ball towards the goal.
Blackburn goalkeeper Robinson fought hard to save, but was out of reach.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Only two minutes into the game, Manchester City opened the scoring!"
"A wonderful goal from Su Dong, one to zero!"
"Manchester City played very aggressively after the start."
"Due to the impact of the national team competition, Di Maria and Sanchez, who traveled long distances back to South America to compete, did not play in this game and were replaced by Adam Johnson and Wright Phillips."
"In the attack just now, Adam Johnson performed very well and gave full play to his speed advantage."
"Of course, the most important thing is Su Dong. His prediction of where the cross will land is very accurate."
…
After taking the lead, Manchester City took advantage of their home court advantage to firmly control the situation on the field.
Su Dong also frequently created threats in the frontcourt.
First, he received a pass from Adam Johnson on the left. After Su Dong stopped the ball with his back, he turned to the right and sent a wonderful pass to Wright Phillips.
But unfortunately, Manchester City's right winger quickly entered the penalty area and when he kicked for the goal, he was saved by goalkeeper Robinson and missed the opportunity.
In the fifteenth minute, Manchester City launched another attack.
Toni Kroos dribbled the ball forward and passed the ball to Sudong.
Su Dong turned to the right, and in a collision with Wright Phillips, he inserted diagonally into the right side of the penalty area. After getting the ball, he suddenly passed it back to the penalty spot.
At this time, Toni Kroos, who came in from behind, faced the incoming ball and fired angrily, sending the ball into the lower left corner of Blackburn's goal.
Two to zero!
The entire Etihad Stadium was completely in a state of excitement!
Scored two goals in a row, Su Dong passed and shot, and all the Manchester City fans in the audience forgot about it!
Su Dong even hugged his teammates on the sidelines, celebrating the goal.
But just when everyone on the team was full of confidence, a huge change suddenly occurred on the court.
A quick attack by Manchester City was intercepted by Blackburn in the frontcourt. Pedelson launched a long pass from the backcourt and passed the ball directly to the edge of Manchester City's penalty area.
At this moment, Joe Hart, who was pressed to the outside of the penalty area, made a very fatal low-level mistake.
I don’t know if the game went too smoothly, so he didn’t receive much threat and became less focused. He seemed to suddenly forget that he was outside the penalty area. Facing Pedelson’s long pass, he initially wanted to take action.
Then, he suddenly realized that he was standing on the outside of the restricted area and could not use his hands.
This was originally a very, very simple pass that even ordinary players, not to mention professional players, could easily confiscate. But just because Joe Hart came so suddenly, he hurriedly wanted to withdraw his hands and use his body to stop it.
The ball ended up being too big.
The opponent's forward Kalinic cleverly seized the opportunity, took the first step to poke the ball behind him, accelerated into the penalty area, easily pushed the shot into the empty goal, and got a goal back for Blackburn.
One to two!
This sudden goal conceded was extremely disappointing.
Joe Hart was even more stunned outside the penalty area.
It is Guardiola's request to ask the goalkeeper to expand his range of activities. He even hopes that Joe Hart can be integrated into the team's passing and controlling system in the midfield and backcourt. This is a very common request in La Liga, especially Barcelona.
, but it is extremely special in the Premier League.
At Bayern, Neuer often did this because of his excellent technical skills, but Joe Hart obviously couldn't do it.
If nothing else, the midfielders and frontfield players in the Premier League don't have such delicate passing and receiving skills. Isn't it difficult to ask a goalkeeper to integrate into passing and controlling the ball?
Just now, after Manchester City pressed forward, Joe Hart also pressed out of the penalty area, but he obviously thought he was in front of the goal, so he instinctively and subconsciously wanted to take action. When he reacted, he immediately withdrew his hand.
Then I tried to stop it with my body, but the result was that the stop was too big, and this low-level mistake occurred.
Joe Hart's mistake caused a big blow to the team.
Blackburn went all out. Former Real Madrid veteran Salgado was in a corner kick attack. After Manchester City headed the ball to clear the ball, he quickly sent the ball into the penalty area. Diouf shot from the front of the small penalty area and once again penetrated the Manchester City goal.
.
Joe Hart, who was hit by the goal he just conceded, didn't even react and watched helplessly as the opponent scored.
Two to two!
Just now, after scoring two goals in a row, Manchester City fans were so excited, but at this moment, after conceding two goals in a row, Manchester City fans are so disappointed, and even the players were greatly hit.
…
After Su Dong loudly encouraged his teammates, he still worked hard to find opportunities in the frontcourt.
In the 38th minute, Marcelo made a long diagonal pass near the midline and sent the ball into the penalty area.
Su Dong quickly stepped in, got ahead of the defensive player, and stopped the ball in mid-air.
The moment the ball hit Su Dong's instep, it seemed to turn into a shot put and fell directly to the ground along his feet.

, he quickly took off his right foot and shot furiously, and the ball hit the net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
“Three to two!!!!!”
Su Dong roared excitedly and ran all the way, waving his hands constantly to signal the fans at the scene to shout louder.
Manchester City players also rushed to catch up and surrounded Su Dong on the sidelines.
"This is definitely a goal that stabilizes the morale of the army!"
"After Blackburn equalized the score, Su Dong made a wonderful stop in the 38th minute and then cut in and fired furiously to give Manchester City another victory, 3 to 2!"
“It’s really wonderful!”
"Manchester City's defense was very problematic tonight, especially goalkeeper Joe Hart, who frequently made low-level mistakes. However, Su Dong in the frontcourt played like a god, and his performance was extremely brave."
…
Before the end of the first half, Manchester City formed a siege on Blackburn.
David Silva received a direct pass from Busquets, dribbled the ball forward from the center, and passed it to Su Dong who retreated to support.
Su Dongla reached the outside of the penalty area, retreated to receive David Silva's pass, turned around and got rid of Nelson, and quickly dribbled the ball forward, breaking into the outside of the penalty area, attracting another central defender Samba to grab the ball.
, direct pass into the restricted area.
David Silva broke into the penalty area and succeeded with a calm push shot, four to two!
The Spanish youngster was so excited that he rushed towards Su Dong, jumped directly on Su Dong, and shouted in celebration.
"In the first half, both teams played too unrestrainedly."
"Even Blackburn are not conservative at all, and Manchester City's own defense frequently has problems."
"Six goals scored in half time is really surprising."
"However, Manchester City still need to be careful. Blackburn's actions were a bit big, and the referee's enforcement today was a bit soft."
Blackburn has a nickname, called Violent Ben.
From this nickname, we can understand the playing style of this team, which is very rough and is the most typical English team.
Faced with Manchester City's delicate passing and controlling style, Blackburn, after figuring out the referee's methods, decisively increased their actions. Especially when Su Dong was active, he became a Blackburn defensive player.
objects of care.
Before the end of the first half, Su Dong and defender Nelson both fell to the ground during a scramble. When he stood up, the socks on Su Dong's right calf were stained red with blood. Apparently, Nelson's shoe had just been touched.
The nail was scratched.
The referee also had to suspend the game and signaled the Manchester City team doctor to come in and stop Su Dong's bleeding first.
In the end, with a score of 4 to 2 in the first half, Manchester City temporarily took the lead.
At halftime, Guardiola replaced Sudong with Santa Cruz.
The injury to his right calf is still quite deep, and Guardiola is also very worried.
In addition to this wound, Su Dong suffered countless violations on his legs. Guardiola was afraid that Su Dong would be injured, so he immediately replaced him.
Blackburn were also forced to make substitutions, two in a row.
Former Real Madrid veteran Salgado suffered the injury himself. Although central defender Nelson scratched Su Dong with his spikes, his own foot also sprained, and both of them were substituted during the halftime break.
Manchester City continued to maintain their advantage in passing and controlling the ball in the second half and also created many opportunities.
The best time was in the 63rd minute. Adam Johnson suddenly appeared on the right. After a breakthrough, he passed the low ball to the goal. Santa Cruz seized the most advantageous position at the front of the small penalty area.
Afterwards, facing the goal that was very close, he pushed the shot and it went straight out of bounds.
There was a sigh of disappointment throughout the stadium!
What a great opportunity!
Manchester City then created several more opportunities, but failed to convert them into goals. At the end of the game, Manchester City thrillingly defeated visiting Blackburn Rovers 4-2.
Although Su Dong only played for half the game, he still won the title of best player of the match with two shots and two passes, and received another bottle of champagne. He also fulfilled his previous promise and presented champagne to
Marcelo was so happy that the Brazilian left back danced a striptease in the locker room.
But the two conceded goals still left hidden dangers for Manchester City's victory.
