Chapter 028 Hot Premier League (Part 2)
The moment the game sounded from the whistle.
Then I entered the state.
The first round of the league defeated Aston Villa four-to-two away, which made Manchester City's morale very high. In that game, Manchester City players were under great pressure, and the outside world was skeptical about Manchester City's performance. Some media even began to call Manchester City "money mercenaries". In this case, being able to win a four-to-two victory played a great role in encouraging the whole team. The players also became more confident because of that victory.
Such psychological advantages also made Manchester City more confident. After the whistle at the beginning of the game, Manchester City launched a fierce attack on West Ham United.
Manchester City assisted on the left side today, Wright Phillips continued to attack West Ham United's right side, and Zhang Yang came to this side from time to time to move, which put a lot of pressure on West Ham United's right-back Behrami.
Zhang Yang's range of activities is very large. He can be seen everywhere on both sides, in the middle of the penalty area, outside the penalty area, which makes West Ham United as if they are facing a big enemy. They dare not be careless and can only shrink and defend, and are suppressed in their own half. Manchester City formed a siege against West Ham United at the beginning.
West Ham United is indeed tragic in this game. If it were in the past, even in the past season, West Ham United dared to compete with Manchester City even at home and municipal stadium. After all, both Ashton and Carlton and Cole are powerful strikers, and their partners are still relatively threatening. In addition, Scott Parker is also considered a talented midfielder in England, with good organizational skills in the midfield. On the defensive line, 25-year-old Davenport was once the main central defender of England's 19-year-old and under-21 youth teams, and Upson is even an England international. All three lines are excellent players, and West Ham United's strength is not as weak as imagined.
However, this West Ham United team has met Manchester City, which is now in a strong morale. Moreover, because of her fear of Zhang Yang, the West Ham United players are a little reluctant after the game starts, which makes them even more passive.
In the Premier League, Manchester City is famous for its home game and away game; when the English media described Manchester City, they said this, there are only two possibilities for this team at the municipal stadium, either to play crazy or to a big defeat. However, in recent seasons, they seem to be able to play crazy at home. Of course, in the away game, they often suffer big defeats.
Such a team, coupled with its strong morale, and the joining of stars such as Zhang Yang and Modric has increased the strength of the entire team by a higher level. When it comes to Manchester City today, West Ham United is indeed a bit unbearable.
"WWOWOWOOOOW——" Eddie Gray jumped up. Zhang Yang received a good long pass from Sabaretta. After stopping the ball from his chest, Davenport's close-fitting press, he cunningly passed the ball between Davenport's legs with his heels. Sturridge followed and shot, and the football slipped past the goal.
"This is Manchester City's seventh shot after the opening. West Ham United is passive. Let's look at Kubishley's expression. He must be very anxious, but he is powerless at this time. For West Ham United, all they can expect is not to concede the ball before the break, hoping to improve in the second half." Leinker said. In fact, at this time, the game was only twenty minutes old, and there were still twenty-five minutes left before the end of the first half.
The entire Manchester Municipal Stadium is like boiling water. The fans have been in a state of excitement since the beginning of the game. They are excited with every attack from Manchester City, and regretted that they pass by goals again and again. Although there has not been a goal yet, for the fans, the twenty minutes of this game have been enjoyable. In the words of a Manchester City fan after the game, 'I really think what I see today is Chelsea playing against West Ham United.' (Note: Manchester City and Chelsea's jerseys are blue.)
The Chinese fans who came from afar in the stands were even more excited and their muscles were twitching, and their bodies were filled with goose bumps due to excitement. The atmosphere on the entire court was so hot. Without being there, you could not feel the shock of the cheers of tens of thousands of people.
Faced with Manchester City's bombardment, West Ham United can only do fouls, constant fouls, constant destruction, and big feet. Only one striker Ashton was left in front. Ashton was strong and had a good impact, and made a fulcrum for counterattack in the front. Another high center forward Carlton Cole often returned to defense. This big man with a height of 191cm had to retreat to his own penalty area frequently to help improve the team's header advantage in the penalty area.
West Ham United only left Scott Parker, the best skilled team in the midfield. As Scott Parker, who is willing to spend 10 million to avoid buying, this value proves his strength. However, he really has no chance to perform at Chelsea. This summer, West Ham United spent 7 million pounds to buy Scott Parker back. This midfield star trained by West Ham United has always been considered the hope of West Ham United. Scott Parker's skills and vision are definitely not inferior to England's.
He has an excellent midfielder. His passes are very good and he can always accurately find his running companions. With him in the midfield, Ashton with strong impact in front of him, this is the hope of West Ham United's counterattack. What they dream of is a major attack from Manchester City. The football was intercepted in the backcourt and then passed the football to Scott Parker, who passed the fatal pass, and then England's international Ashton completed the fatal blow! Well, it's best that this goal is the only goal in the game. West Ham United can proudly leave Manchester Municipal Stadium.
Well, that's the only thing West Ham coach Kubishley can expect when the team is so passive.
Amid West Ham United's continuous fouls, Manchester City's free kick appeared, and West Ham United's goal was in danger.
Near the baseline, because they were afraid that Manchester City players would complete a fatal first pass, West Ham United players would rather give Manchester City a corner kick than see them successfully pass the football into the penalty area.
Before the game, Kubishley analyzed to West Ham United players that Manchester City's midfield is now luxurious, and the front line is also super terrifying because of the presence of the banshee. The cooperation between these stars is very terrifying. In Kubishley's eyes, Manchester City's biggest shortcoming is that this team's heading ability is relatively weak, well, it's just relative.
Therefore, West Ham United players faithfully executed the head coach's intentions and would rather give Manchester City a free kick and corner kick than allow Manchester City to play a smooth attack comfortably.
West Ham United was completely suppressed. After 30 minutes of the game, there was only one shot. Manchester City's defense line was very low, and the team's excellent header center Kompany became the center forward of the regular seal, constantly reaching West Ham United's penalty area to compete for the header.
However, West Ham United players have been prepared for a long time and have focused on the header bombing of Manchester City players. Carlton Kerr, who "temporary guest appearance" central defender, resolved most of Manchester City's high-altitude bombings.
Well, I have to mention that the most tragic thing about West Ham United is that their occasional offensive opportunities are not possible when facing Marklele. Even when Manchester City takes the initiative on the court and attacks in full, Marklele is still near the midfield and is not pressed out. He is such a player. It seems that the team's offense has nothing to do with him. He just needs to do a good job of defense. This also makes West Ham United coach Kubishley on the sidelines so angry that he can't help but point at Marklele's nose and scold: Do you know why Real Madrid was unwilling to give you a high salary? What are you doing so low-key? Why don't you go up to attack, attack! Oh oh oh!
Kubishley is even more pessimistic about the ending of the team today. With Mark Lele in it, West Ham United's only few offensive opportunities can't get anything. His biggest idea now is that West Ham United can withstand Manchester City's offense and end the first half with a score of zero to zero. Well, then end the second half with a score of zero to zero. This is the best and most acceptable result for West Ham United.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides exists, and West Ham United players have been under pressure. Their defense was finally broken by a heavy blow from Manchester City when the game was thirty-three minutes into the game.
With a beautiful frontcourt cooperation, Elano attracted the attention of West Ham United midfielder Noble after taking the ball. Then he and Richards' pass and cut successfully brought Noble and Farbert out of his defense.
At this time, the football reached Modric's feet.
Modric made another move to shoot from a long time, which attracted the attention of West Ham United defensive players. When the opponent focused on him, he pushed the football under his feet straight out.
Zhang Yang received the ball on the penalty area line and suddenly turned to the left, making a move to break through there, Upson immediately came up to intercept it, but at this time, the football was already passed by Zhang Yang from the other side when he turned around.
Sturridge beautifully inserted from the front of the back line and made a small-scale counter-offside. After receiving the ball from the back of West Ham United defenders, the next thing was simple. He took advantage of West Ham United goalkeeper Green's shot at the far corner before blocking the shooting angle, and the football easily rolled into the goal.
One to zero!
After bombing for 33 minutes, Manchester City finally scored the goal through a subtle pass and cut cooperation with Zhang Yang assisted Sturridge.
When Sturridge saw Zhang Yang receive Modric's pass, he subconsciously started to flip forward. Of course, he did not expect that Zhang Yang could actually play such a "fake action pass" and deceive Upson. His flip was just out of the excellent consciousness of a forward.
Unexpectedly, the football came just after he fucked forward, which made Sturridge ecstatic. He did not expect that his chance to fuck forward was so good. At this time, he looked at the goal and directly pushed the shot from the far corner. Seeing the football entering the net, he was stunned for a moment, immediately lifted the jersey, covered his head, ran around wildly, and shouted: "In! In! In! In! In!"
Manchester City's forward competition is fierce now, with three forwards competing with Zhang Yang's opportunity to partner. As the youngest player, Sturridge should be said to be the one with the least chance. He cherishes today's starting opportunity. Of course, he knows what this goal means to him.
This beautiful pass and cut will definitely add a lot of points to the head coach.
Although Sturridge did not hear what Eddie Gray said at the beginning of the game, he also knew that for Manchester City's forward line, whoever can form a good understanding with Zhang Yang will be able to win the lead in the competition for the other starting spot.
So, after scoring the goal, Sturridge would be so happy and excited.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Manchester City's 19-year-old young scorer Sturridge scored a beautiful counter-offside goal! This was a wonderful pass and cut goal after a goal.
Seeing Sturridge scored, the entire Manchester Municipal Stadium was in a carnival, and the live broadcast excitedly shouted the goalkeeper's name.
Many fans shouted Sturridge's name excitedly after shouting Sturridge's name. The fans know the ball, and of course they know that Sturridge's shot was beautiful and the ball made a wonderful goal. However, during the entire goal, Zhang Yang's exquisite pass was the finishing touch.
Applause is like thunder!
Manchester Municipal Stadium has now become a sea of joy, and the beating blue jerseys are like a swish, starting with waves, but later it becomes a vast ocean.
Mark Hughes was excited to celebrate when he saw Sturridge score, and this goal also made him feel relieved. Although Manchester City's offensive was very strong and West Ham United had almost no power to fight back, as long as he had not scored, Mark Hughes's heart seemed to be hanging, and he had been worried. Now that he saw the goal fall into the pocket, the stone in his heart fell slightly.
"West Ham United has no power to fight back under Manchester City's offense, but Manchester City has never scored a goal. Now, the goal has finally arrived. This goal is a heavy blow to West Ham United. They will definitely be confused now. Should they push out and attack or continue to defend to the death?" Leinker said.
"If you push out the offense, then West Ham United's defense will have a bigger loophole, and Manchester City is likely to score another goal before the end of the first half." Eddie Gray said.
"But if you don't push it out, continue to defend to the death. However, if you have already lost the ball, is it meaningful to defend to the death?" Leinker said, and he also asked and answered himself. "However, considering that there are still ten minutes left in the first half, West Ham United chooses to continue to defend to the death and strive not to concede the ball. This should be the most desirable. If you lose the ball again, if you fall behind two goals, it is impossible for West Ham United to turn the tables in the second half. They still have hope."
Of course, there is one thing that Leinkell didn't say, that is, West Ham United's hope is just theoretical hope. After all, everyone can see that they were completely suppressed by Manchester City in this game and had no power to fight back.
After kicking off again, West Ham United still defended the dead, but the defense line took a little forward and added the possibility of attack. They knew that Manchester City's defense line had always been unhealthy and hoped to find Manchester City's flaws. If they could succeed in sneak attack, they would make a lot of money.
However, West Ham United players were disappointed. Although the current Manchester City defense line is a bit too much, facing the West Ham United team that has been suppressed and has no power to fight back, Manchester City's defense line is still quite stable.
Richard Dunn is the captain of Manchester City, a veteran of the team, and has rich experience.
Belgian central defender Kompani is a CM demon, so he naturally has the charm of a demon, and he does a pretty good job in defense.
Richards and Sabaretta often assist, but the problem is that it is still difficult for West Ham United to seize the gap after Manchester City hit the two sides. Why? There is also Marklele. Marklele can't fight half the game from beginning to end. He swam in the middle circle and often fills up the wing. In short, if West Ham United wants to attack effectively, they must first find a way to pass Marklele's level. Unfortunately, now, they are really unable to pass.
In the 41st minute of the game, West Ham United intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and they immediately launched a quick counterattack. Behrami passed the ball and Scott Parker tried to pass Marklele, but he was directly intercepted by Marklele from his feet. After Marklele intercepted the ball, he did not drive the ball to press it up by himself, but instead divided the football into the side.
After receiving the ball on the wing, Sabaleta dribbled the ball along the wing towards the baseline. It should be said that West Ham United's return to defense was still very timely. Even when they counterattacked, they were cautious in attacking. When they saw that something was wrong, they quickly returned to defense.
Zabaleta observed and saw that he had no chance to cross, so he brought the ball back and passed it to Modric, asking him to reorganize the attack.
Modric took a few steps forward and attracted the attention of his opponent, and immediately distributed the ball to Wright Phillips again. This pass showed Modric's passing skills. His pass quickly passed from the junction of two West Ham United defensive players to Wright Phillips' feet on the wing.
Wright Phillips did not waste Modric's pass. After receiving the football, he passed the ball directly into the penalty area without hesitation.
At the front point, Elano jumped up.
His jump made Davenport, who was defending him, jumped up as well.
However, neither of them was able to reach the ball.
Wright Phillips' pass was a bit floating, with a strange arc, passing over the heads of the two.
At this moment, at the back point, a man rushed out, like a big roc spreading his wings. In the air, a powerful head cone attacked the goal, smashing the football into the goal of West Ham United!
England's international player on the edge of the West Ham United goalkeeper Green was stunned by this header that looked like a magic weapon from the sky. He didn't even have time to make a save, but just stretched out his hand and the ball had already hit the goal!
The goal scored!
This was a goal that detonated the excitement and passion of tens of thousands of people on the entire court.
Two to zero!
Zhang Yang helped Manchester City expand the score!
