MM Racing Chapter 212
Chapter 212
Ronaldo's best area of activity is the left flank.
I prefer the free man up front.
If Nani plays on the right wing, the centre-forward position can only be left to Postiga.
However, it is clear that Postiga's ability is simply not enough to play as a Portuguese centre-forward.
So Paulo Bento often uses Ronaldo as a forward arrow.
If Diego Costa joins the Portuguese national team, then Cristiano Ronaldo can be liberated, as can himself.
The attack up front may have a great chemistry.
The more he learned, the more feasible he felt, and Xu Ning's eyes looking at Shengshi Meiyan were as if he was looking at a treasure!
This time it was Diego Costa's turn to be stunned.
Xu Ning's eager eyes, how did he feel as if he was going to eat himself?
Boy!
Could it be that Xu Ning is so powerful because he eats forwards?
Gluttonous snake like, the more you eat, the more powerful?
Just when Sheng Shimei was thinking about it, Xu Ning suddenly spoke.
"Are you interested in playing for the Portuguese national team?"
"With me! Together with Ronaldo! Diego
Costa froze, and his expression changed on the spot!
What did I hear?
Invite me to join the Portuguese national team?
Just kidding, right?
Do you want to be so crazy?
It feels like an alien suddenly appears in front of you one day and tells you that you are also of the same kind and can now return to your home planet with him.
Not mentally prepared at all!
So much so that Diego Costa opened his mouth but had no idea what to say.
Because Xu Ning spoke in Portuguese, others couldn't understand it at all.
But at this time, Thiago, who was standing behind, heard it, and his expression instantly became extremely strange, and black lines appeared above his head.
Why do I hear conversations like this?
Could it be that Portugal coach Paolo Bento also assigned Xu Ning the task of digging players?
However, after a little thought, Thiago couldn't help but be surprised.
It seems that it really can!
As a teammate, Thiago certainly understands Diego Costa's abilities.
Although it is certainly not comparable to Xu Ning and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is definitely stronger than the rest of the strikers of the Portuguese national team.
In fact, Portugal has been a pioneer since the golden generation.
Although Pauleta, who was the same era as Figo, was a fish in the water in Ligue 1, she was unconvinced in the Portuguese national team.
Subsequently, whether it was Almeida or Postiga, it was difficult to become first-class.
If Diego Costa really chooses to join the Portuguese national team, then the Portuguese national team will really be a tiger.
Thinking of this, Thiago felt a responsibility to constantly convince Diego Costa.
At this time, Diego Costa woke up like a dream, frowning and opening his mouth with a strange expression.
"I don't even know what you're talking about!"
"I have submitted my application to FIFA to play for the Spanish national team!"
"It is estimated that there will be results soon!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely be able to defeat your Portugal with Spain!"
Looking at Diego Costa, who still did not forget to say cruel words at this time, Xu Ning's expression did not change much.
He also knew that it was obviously unrealistic for Diego Costa to change his mind with such a casual mention.
You can take your time!
It's not something he should be thinking about as a player anyway.
Go back to the head coach Paolo Bento, whether to invite Diego Costa to the head coach to decide.
I am a scout, not a sports director, and not a team leader!
......
Soon, the referee team walked into the players' tunnel and led the two teams of players onto the court together.
The Etihad Stadium instantly remembered the heaven-shaking cheers, and the fans chanted the names of the players in unison, and the atmosphere was extremely fiery!
After a series of pre-match processes, Manchester City, who lost the guessing side, kicked off first.
In this game, Pellegrini also arranged the starting lineup in a targeted manner.
The striker is Xu Ning and Sergio Aguero partnered, left midfielder Nasri and right midfielder David Silva.
De Bruyne is the front back, and behind De Bruyne is Yaya Toure!
It's an absolute offensive lineup!
Abandoning Keylor Keylor's attack on the right and opting for David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne's double-forward arrangement, he wanted to tear Atletico's defence through passes.
Pellegrini is well aware that Atletico cannot go against Manchester City.
They will only shrink up, use their iron-blooded defensive power to keep the gates intact, and then threaten Manchester City with counter-attacks.
Therefore, it is difficult for Manchester City to play a fast attack, so they can only choose positions to attack step by step.
In this case, the chemistry that two top passers can produce may make Atletico uncomfortable.
Xu Ning will pull to the wing from time to time, and there is no need to worry about Manchester City's attack without speed and impact!
The referee blew his whistle and the game officially began.
Xu Ning gave the ball to Sergio Aguero, and then rushed towards the Atletico position, straight into the hinterland.
Gabi and Cork immediately surrounded him, and the two wrapped Xu Ning, and they were already guarding Xu Ning strictly without the ball.
Once Xu Ning moves out to catch the ball, the two will not leave the defensive position, obviously Atletico Madrid is to use the overall defense to contain Xu Ning.
Xu Ning received the ball with his back for the first time, and as soon as he turned around, he was sniped by Gabi and Cork.
The distance between the two people was kept just right, so that Xu Ning had no way to open the door and rush over, and there was no way to directly throw off the two people.
The pressure that Atletico put on Xu Ning is unprecedented, and no big club has been able to do it.
However, Xu Ning naturally would not choose to fight hard in a small space.
Sideways to give the ball to David Silva, then Xu Ning started like a cheetah and rushed to the Atletico penalty area!
As long as David Silva understands and picks the ball directly behind the Atletico defense, Xu Ning's explosiveness is enough to ensure that he gets the ball first to form a single knife.
But at this moment, Gabi and Godin, who moved up later, chose to close the door very tacitly and block Xu Ning with physical confrontation.
Although Xu Ning's body had rushed over, he was really blocked, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground without maintaining his balance.
The ball was obtained by Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Courtois and held directly in his arms, his expression seemed to be palpitating.
The stands instantly became irritable!
Xu Ning also looked at the referee and signaled that this was a foul.
However, the referee signaled for the game to continue.
I can't help but be a little annoyed, this is the home of Manchester City, and the referee actually made a penalty in favor of Atletico!
Without time to protest, Courtois drove the ball with his big foot, followed by a wave of fast attacks from Atletico.
The fast attack did not work, but Atletico were not discouraged, and the players involved in the attack quickly returned to the defense, and the defense was extremely fast.
Turning around, City had to face Atletico's iron-walled defence once again in a positional battle.
"Sir, it was obviously a foul just now!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Ning ran to the referee and theorized with the referee.
