Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 211

There was not much time left for Leipzig.

After the game resumed, Leipzig wanted to steal a goal to save face while Manchester City players were happy and careless because of the goal.

Unfortunately, they had no chance at all!

The double defensive midfielder combination of Gundogan and Fernandez completely blocked any attack from Leipzig!

Instead, the Blue Moon increased its offensive strength again!

The 65th minute of the game.

Gundogan jumped on the spot and grabbed an over-the-top long pass attempt from his opponent.

After holding the ball, Gundogan did not delay and quickly passed the ball to Mahrez in front of the right side.

Limited edition winter gloves king Mahrez made a beautiful man-ball pass and simply passed Kampl who kept retreating to defend in front of him.

Then, Mahrez saw Chen Chen in the middle area waving for the ball.

The polo king did not break through with the ball, but turned a corner, and Mahrez quickly passed the ball to the middle.

"Bang!"

Mahrez's pass was a little too big, with a little more lead time.

Compared to Chen Chen, Nkunku, who ran diagonally back to defend, was closer to the ball.

Nkunku was very active today.

But if he couldn't touch the ball for a long time, it would be useless to run actively!

So, the reason why Nkunku fell so deep in defense this time was obvious.

He wanted to direct and act by himself, intercept and steal, and then organize the pass attack.

The offensive direction was to choose to play to the right side, to the opponent's weaker point.

Of course, the premise of all this is to get the ball.

Seeing that Nkunku could steal the ball with a leg, Chen Chen gritted his teeth and ran two steps quickly. He stretched out his right leg to the extreme and poked it!

Nkunku's leg was empty!

The French were careless!

Nkunku was a little stunned for a moment.

And at the moment when the French international was stunned, Chen Chen hurried to chase the ball.

Nkunku reacted promptly, and the French winger chose to pull him.

Chen Chen was not afraid, he chose to stretch out his hand and pull Nkunku.

Finally, before Gvardiol could intercept him with his back, Chen Chen used the outside of his right foot to rub the ball with an outward rotation arc!

The ball came to Mahrez accurately.

Faced with such a rare opportunity to head the ball, Mahrez seized it!

"Mahrez!"

"At this moment, Mahrez is possessed by Van Persie!"

"The ball went in!"

"5-0!"

"It's messed up! It's completely messed up!"

"There is no suspense anymore, and the rest of the time has become garbage time!"

Mahrez, who scored his first goal of the game, ran towards Chen Chen.

Before the two hugged, Chen Chen had already started to tease him.

"There's another one!"

Didn't Mahrez give the penalty to Chen Chen before?

Chen Chen said this to mean that he had already made one cake and there was another one.

The polo king grinned and said,

"Very nice! Chen! I really love you!"

"It seems that I should continue to give you the penalty next time!"

Glarish, who was watching anxiously, shouted at Chen Chen,

"I can also give you a point! I can also love you! Give me a few assists!"

Chen Chen took Grealish's shoulder and muttered "All, all", and then several people ran to the corner flag area, cheering and celebrating amid the boos of Leipzig fans!

The Red Bull Arena was really broken by the Blue Moon this time.

In the east and west stands, many fans have chosen to get up and leave.

What's the point of watching this except getting angry?

Tired, destroy it.

Seeing that the team scored the fifth goal, Guardiola on the sidelines did not celebrate too much. Guardiola quickly asked several players on the bench who were named by him to get up and warm up.

Before the next kick-off, he had to make a substitution.

Although Chen Chen said during the halftime break that he could fight Leipzig until exhaustion, considering the opponent's possible fouls due to anger and humiliation because of the loss, Guardiola chose to replace him early.

It's 5-0, brother Ji, forget it.

In addition, Manchester City has more games in December. In the case that De Bruyne cannot be guaranteed to play, Chen Chen must avoid possible injuries and fatigue.

Soon, after the players on the field finished celebrating and returned to the center circle, Guardiola played the substitution card.

Mahrez, Chen Chen and Stones left the field.

Sterling, Ruben Dias and Kepa Palmer came on.

This is a normal positional substitution adjustment.

Guardiola only made some changes in tactics, that is, the team should focus on defense and spend the rest of the time smoothly and safely.

Chen Chen walked slowly to the sidelines,During this process, he raised his hand and clapped towards the visiting team's fans.

Then, under the boos and jeers of the Leipzig fans, Chen Chen hugged his teammates who were about to play.

Palmer looked at Chen Chen blankly, then shook his head and sighed, "Brother! This is simply a personal show for you!"

The two hugged briefly.

After the hug, Chen Chen and Palmer also high-fived to celebrate, and finally Chen Chen smiled and answered him,

"Now the rest of the time is your personal show!"

Palmer nodded heavily.

He accepted this blessing from Chen Chen!

Drawing a cross on his chest, Palmer quickly ran onto the court.

Chelsea has recently shown interest in him, and Palmer is eager to show his potential and ability in the limited playing time!

Chen Chen then hugged Guardiola again, and the latter teased that he could take the game ball back as a souvenir today.

Leipzig also made substitutions.

When the broadcast camera was given to Bayerlozer, the interim coach of Leipzig was already a little disappointed.

Bayerlozer waved his hand and signaled his assistant to communicate with the fourth official about the substitution arrangement.

Under the gaze of the fans, Bayerlozer chose to replace the defender as the forward. . .

Of course, there was no other way.

Brobeyi was the only striker sitting on the bench. If he wanted to change, there was no other way. He could only use the defender or midfielder as a temporary guest.

German defender Henrichs was 185 cm tall, so he was pushed to the front.

There was no other way, so he had to treat the dead horse as a living horse.

In the remaining time, a strange balance was formed between the two teams.

Manchester City had already won the game, and they didn't want to get hurt, so they played very steadily.

What about Leipzig?

They were obviously the side that needed a goal to save face, but they played as if they were leading, and they were not in a hurry at all!

Finally, the boring end time was over, Manchester City defeated Leipzig 5-0 away, and they ended the entire group stage journey with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss!

On the other side, Bruges was defeated by Paris 2-1.

But after comparing the goal difference, it was Bruges, a Belgian team with a smaller goal difference, that was finally determined to go to the Europa League!

Considering security issues, the Blue Moon did not stay on the court for too long, and they went directly back to the locker room.

As for the Manchester City fans who traveled with the team?

For security needs, they were asked to stay for another 2 hours before leaving.

At the post-match press conference, Guardiola was asked "How about Chen Chen's three goals and one assist full score performance."

Guardiola's answer was simple and straightforward,

"In the first round, Chen Chen left the field due to injury."

"Today, we came to the Red Bull Arena with a very common wish. That is to try our best to help Chen Chen adapt to the rhythm of the game. According to his strength, there is no problem for us to win!"
