839 There is no Su Dong in this years Champions League!
"Well done, guys!"
In the visiting team's dressing room at the Emirates Stadium, Guardiola was full of praise for the team's performance.
As soon as he entered the goal, Manchester City's head coach made no secret of his pride and pride in his team's performance in the first half.
It's no wonder that he was so frustrated leading the team last season that now he is feeling proud and relaxed.
Last season, Manchester City was the leader in possession of the ball, but their offense and results were unsatisfactory. In the end, they only made it to the Europa League. But this is really unsatisfactory for Manchester City, which has invested heavily for two consecutive years.
convince.
Guardiola is a rookie head coach who has been controversial and was even almost fired.
It can be said that last season, from Guardiola to Soriano to Begiristain, everyone in Manchester City was burdened with heavy pressure and burden, but all of this has disappeared this season.
The arrival of Pepe strengthened the team's defense, transforming Manchester City into the best defensive team in the Premier League; the addition of Toni Kroos greatly eased the pressure on Busquets and David Silva.
Together, the three formed Manchester City's iron triangle of ball control, which was unbreakable.
But the most important thing is Su Dong.
Guardiola still clearly remembers that someone once asked him why Santa Cruz performed so well at Blackburn but failed under his coaching after coming to Manchester City?
Guardiola's answer at the time was that Blackburn's football style was not modern enough.
This sentence was ridiculed by many people because Manchester City's results were not ideal at the time. Not to mention telling the truth, even if Guardiola took a bite of food, it would be a crime, and if he breathed a breath of air, it would be wrong.
But is there anything wrong with this?
Nothing wrong!
Which position is the most difficult to play in modern football?
No one really thinks he is a defender or a midfielder, right?
It's the striker!
Guardiola is a midfielder, so he can answer without hesitation that he is a forward, especially a center.
In the modern football tactical system, the further forward and closer to the opponent's goal, the higher the ability requirements of the players.
Why not Santa Cruz?
The answer is simple: lack of ability.
What's left is to carefully study which aspect of his lack of ability is based on his lack of ability?
Is it because the center who holds the ball behind his back is not good enough? Or is his physical confrontation ability not good enough? Or is it because his ability to compete for headers is lacking?
But in general, his ability is not good enough.
Then why is Su Dong okay?
Because he is strong enough!
Last season, many people accused Manchester City of being a fake strong team, a wealthy upstart, and a mercenary army. Why?
Manchester City can always take advantage of the ball in the game, but they have never been able to score. Is it because Manchester City's overall strength is insufficient?
really not.
Manchester City invested so much money, and all the players they introduced have proven their strength in other teams, and none of them are weak.
The reason why the team cannot win and perform poorly is that the stars in the team are not strong enough.
In other words, it is not strong enough!
I believe that fans who often watch games will be familiar with the two scenes.
A weak team was beaten by a strong team. After struggling to support itself, at a certain key point, it relied on a counterattack to score a goal.
A strong team fought hard against a weak team, but could not open up the situation or score a goal. Finally, at a certain key node, a certain player had a flash of inspiration and scored, winning the team.
This should be a very common phenomenon in the two football games, so why are there such completely different situations?
The answer is simple, the strength of the star determines a certain moment!
In both environments, the strong and weak teams are doing their best to bring out their best and restrain their opponents in a targeted manner. The strong team takes advantage and puts enough pressure on the opponent's defenders.
, but they never gave in, but withstood the pressure and created opportunities to counterattack.
This is a reflection of the strength of the star player.
The strong team has all the advantages, but the opponent withstands the pressure and never scores a goal. This is a manifestation of the strong team's offensive players not being strong enough to win over the opponent. Otherwise, there should be a flash of inspiration, or
It was a devastating goal.
Many times, the strength of the star player determines the upper limit of a team.
Look at Manchester City last season. Is there a star who can deliver?
Is there the kind of star who can turn the situation around at critical moments?
Are there any stars whose personal abilities stand out from the crowd?
The answer is, no!
Even Sanchez, the strongest player in the team, still disarmed when faced with tight surveillance by his opponents.
But what about Su Dong?
How many games has he played this season in which he saved the team from crisis at critical moments?
How many of his goals were opening goals and how many of his goals were game-winners?
The two most important positions of a team, which can also be said to be the pillars, are the center and the center back.
Last season, Manchester City's central defender was only barely qualified by Kompany, which was far from enough, so Guardiola had to introduce Pepe. The results were obvious. Once Pepe came, Manchester City's defense immediately changed.
Why?
Because Pepe is one of the most capable central defenders in world football today!
Not to mention the center, Su Dong has the strongest personal ability among the active players in world football today.
Even compared with those legendary stars in history, he can definitely be among the strongest.
With such a strong point in charge, Manchester City's front and back pillars have supported the overall competitiveness of this team, so even if the goalkeeper stretches his hips a little, Manchester City is still unstoppable.
Looking back at Arsenal, isn't the problem obvious?
Who is Wenger's centre-back?
Djurou, Koscielny and Squillaci don't have a single real strong point.
Who is the center forward?
Van Persie can only be considered slightly better, Chamakh is a role player, and the rest is gone.
It is strange that Arsenal can achieve good results like this!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! If David Silva, Pepe, Toni Kroos, Busquets and Kompany determine the lower limit of Manchester City, then Su Dong
This determines Manchester City's upper limit.
With the current momentum of Manchester City, everyone can see that this team is destined to become the strongest team in Europe, and there is no need to add another team later.
The most fortunate thing for the wealthy teams competing for the Champions League this season is that Manchester City cannot play in the Champions League.
Otherwise, there really would be nothing wrong with them!
For example, Barcelona's Mourinho shouted early that Barcelona would do its best to compete in the Champions League.
"This year is the best opportunity because there is no Su Dong in the Champions League, but he will be back next year!"
This is not what we are saying now, this is what Mourinho said before the start of the season.
This also represents the view of mainstream European coaching circles on Guardiola's Manchester City and their strong alliance with Su Dong.
Manchester City has also confirmed the outside world's view of them through game after game.
Especially tonight, Arsenal was beaten 5-0 in the first half. No matter how you look at it, it is a rhythm of beating the opponent.
…
Guardiola stood among the players in the locker room, really excited.
He had many heroic words that he wanted to shout out and to inspire his players, but in the end, all the thousands of words turned into one sentence.
"Let's keep working hard in the second half and don't let down the 5-0 score in the first half!"
All the Manchester City players in the locker room suddenly became excited.
…………
…………
The game restarts.
After changing sides in the second half, Arsenal was still very passive.
Trailing 5-0, Wenger's team was completely at a disadvantage.
Manchester City controlled the advantage and continued to attack Arsenal, while the Gunners barely maintained their position and occasionally launched a wave of attacks in an attempt to score at home and save face.
But in the 57th minute, Manchester City successfully stole the ball on the left.
After Pepe came out with Van Persie, he cooperated with Marcelo and intercepted Arsenal's pass on the left. Marcelo directly moved the ball to the right with a big kick and handed it to the unguarded Zabaleta.
.
The Argentine right back stopped the ball and moved forward, quickly started, dribbling the ball directly through the center line and heading straight for Arsenal's half.
Manchester City's counterattack also started very quickly.
Su Dong did not rush forward blindly in the middle and wait for his teammates to cross. Instead, he saw Arsenal's defense retreating quickly. He immediately retreated, pulled out the Arsenal defender's defense, and ran out to meet Zabaleta.
.
Zabaleta immediately passed the ball to Sudong and rushed into the penalty area.
After Su Dong stopped the ball and turned around, he suddenly pointed to Di Maria on the left, and he also made a gesture to pass the ball to the left. This immediately made Arsenal's defensive players look to the left.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong just bluffed and did not pass to the left. Instead, he suddenly sent a through ball with the outside instep of his right foot and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
Sanchez, who had been seriously ignored, crossed into the penalty area, successfully countered offside and scored a single goal, and calmly pushed the ball into the empty goal.
Six to zero!
The Chilean winger was so excited that he rushed towards Su Dong, jumped directly on Su Dong, and roared forgetfully!
"beautiful!"
"Su Dong easily tore apart Arsenal's defense with a pass while strolling around the court."
"Six to zero!"
"Arsenal's defenders all miscalculated. Sudong was not only able to threaten the opponent's goal himself, but also created a threat. He was also very cunning. Before passing the ball to Sanchez, he even pointed to the left intentionally.
Confusing Arsenal's defenders."
"Facing such an opponent is really disappointing!"
"Of course, what is even more desperate is that Wenger and his players actually conceded six goals in less than an hour at home. This is not only a reflection of Manchester City's strong offensive firepower, but also Arsenal's lack of strength.
evidence."
"Today, we have to admit that the overall pattern of the Premier League has changed. From Tottenham Hotspur's reversal of Arsenal to Manchester City's bloody massacre of the Gunners, we can see the sudden changes in the Premier League pattern."
"There is no doubt that Manchester City is already a force that cannot be ignored in the Premier League and is the leader in the standings. Tottenham Hotspur also has the power to change the pattern of the Premier League."
"If teams like Arsenal and Chelsea don't strengthen their strength, it will be difficult for them to stay in the top four in the league!"
