Chapter 22 The Price (Part 2)
Trevor sinclair took the ball in the penalty area and forced it into it under the guidance of Brian Priske. Danish international Priske won slightly better than Sinclair in physically, but his flexibility was not as good as Sinclair. Now, the center of gravity was obviously shifted to the left by several fake moves of Sinclair.
Sinclair took the opportunity to hook the ball on the inside of his left foot, and gently stepped forward from Prisc. Before other defenders came to block the ball, he looked at the situation in front of him and rolled the ball to Darius Vassell's feet.
Vassel took the ball in the direction of his sprint, adjusted the step point, and shot in anger at the goal.
The distance was too close. Although the angle of the ball was not very tricky, it was very fast. Without Jamie Ashdown's reaction and then quickly, the ball still got into the net before he fell to the ground to save it; one to zero, Manchester City temporarily led.
Huang Long laughed happily. If he continued to play like this, it should be a big win game. Well, this is of great benefit to boosting the morale of the team. At this time, even Pierce, who had been worried about the game, felt that his worries were unnecessary.
The players on the field had a very relaxed expression and even started to play fun on the field.
In the 28th minute, Claudio Reyna faced Portsmouth players on the right. He had the chance to pass the ball to Sun Jihai who was inserted from behind, but he insisted on using his personal skills to pass the opponent. After several consecutive fake moves, as soon as the ball went out, the opponent's Robert was stuck behind him, wasting a chance in vain.
The 31st minute. Sinclair made a cross from the right, and Ashdang made a mistake in attack. Fowler (robbie fobsp; �
Portsmouth defender drove the ball to a point in front of the center circle with a big foot, and Norwegian striker Kalades, who loaned Benfica to Portsmouth, headed the ball to Dario Silva.
Silva, the main striker of the Uruguay national team in the past decade, has been known for his ball control and speed. Manchester City pushed forward and attacked heavily at this time, leaving Ayala behind; but speed is the weakest link of Ayala. With Dario Silva's rapid dribbling, Ayala was abandoned far behind.
Silva ran wildly from the middle with the ball, while Rudes ran to the penalty area on the other side, and saw the two ghosts slamming the goal; Silva rushed to the front of the penalty area and had already formed a single opportunity. David James had no choice but to abandon the goal and rushed forward, hoping to block the opponent's shooting angle. But when James rushed out of the small penalty area, Silva alertly scored the ball to the left for a point. Rudes, who was inserted on the left, faced the empty goal and easily pushed the ball gently, one-to-one! Portsmouth tied the score!
The Flaton Park Stadium suddenly became boiling, and the cheers that burst out from the stadium that could only accommodate less than 20,000 people could be clearly heard from hundreds of meters away.
Huang Long and Pierce lost their words in conjunction with each other. Unexpectedly, they were counterattacked by the opponent to tie the score!
But Huang Long couldn't see the problem for a moment. During the halftime break, he just told the players to pay attention to defense, and ignored the players and his own urgent emotions.
At this time, in his heart, he was still confident of a weak team like Portsmouth, but he didn't think about it. He had no idea about Portsmouth's tactical play before the game, let alone targeted deployment and arrangements. The goal scored in the first half was entirely based on the players' personal abilities. And he didn't notice that Fowler (robbie fobsp; At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City players were still putting pressure on Portsmouth at the request of Huang Long, but this time they learned a lesson. Each time, only one of the four defenders assisted, and the other three remained in the backcourt for defense.
In the third minute, Mikhanovic's corner kick entered the penalty area, David sommeil headed the ball, and Sun Jihai headed the ball to the far post. Ash saved the ball.
One minute later, Davis (edgar davids) shook the opponent's defense from three meters in the frontcourt, and the long shot was blocked. Wasser followed up at the edge of the penalty area and shot with his left foot higher than the crossbar.
In the 18th minute, Vassel's long shot outside the penalty area was above the crossbar. The two teams were in a stalemate for a while. Although Vassel was very active, his shot was not too threatening. In the 20th minute, Croft (lee croft) ran and passed the ball, but unfortunately Vassel's long shot missed 20 meters in the frontcourt.
In the 30th minute, Sun Jihai broke through on the right, crossed the opponent's three defenses for help, and made a wonderful pass while running at high speed. Claudio reyna headed the ball above the crossbar under the clamping of two defenders. Sinclair rushed up like a black lightning flash, stabbing the ball towards the goal before the opponent's defender. Ash fell to the ground and blocked the ball with his feet. Fowler, who followed, volleyed and missed the far corner without anyone defending in the penalty area. It was obvious that the ball would definitely make an attempt once it hit, but his feet were soft and he was empty!
Huang Long roared furiously: "You can play such a ball too!" Pierce next to him muttered: "This kid didn't sleep yesterday." This sentence made Huang Long wake up suddenly. His kid said before the game to satisfy the female reporter last night......
In the 31st minute, Huang Long quickly made adjustments, Antoine Sibierski replaced Reiner Cole, and Fowler, and Ben thatcher replaced Mihailovic, whose physical strength was significantly reduced!
He changed three players in one breath, showing his eagerness to win the game, but while waiting for the dead ball to substitution, Fowler (robbie fobsp; This move worked very well. The old Mihailovic was left behind by Silva far away. Davis, who was chasing back in the midfield, rushed towards Silva like a clockwork machine.
