Chapter 627: Internal strife in Manchester City (Subscription Request)
Ibrahimovic looked at Huang Kevin doing stretching exercises and smiled bitterly.
He originally thought he could face Huang Kevin calmly, but when he became an opponent again, the usually confident Ibrahimovic was completely panicked.
If I hadn't gone to Milan, I wouldn't have been teammates with Kevin Huang.
Since he doesn't have such a thorough understanding of Huang Kevin, Ibrahimovic can still be calmer.
But the days of playing football with Kevin Huang made Ibrahimovic realize it clearly.
With Kevin Huang on the field, the game is elevated to a new dimension.
The football we are playing is not the same at all!
At 7:45 p.m., Serbian referee Milorad Mažic blew the whistle to start the game.
Ibrahimovic kicked the ball directly to the right.
Nasri started by passing the ball back.
Manchester City has undergone some changes under Mancini.
But what remains unchanged is the 442 system.
Tevez's appearance in the attacking midfielder position does not mean that he is an attacking midfielder. Mancini's 442 has always been conservative. In many games, he started defending after scoring a goal.
Especially the season when Manchester City made the top four for the first time.
Many times it was Aguero who moved and then David Silva passed the ball.
Their tactics did not change much after replacing Ibrahimovic.
The fact that Silva was benched today shows that Mancini is not optimistic about the outcome of this game.
Manchester City organized in the backcourt for a while, and the ball reached Maicon on the right.
The speed at which this once world's No. 1 right-back fell from grace was much faster than that of ordinary players, even among Brazilian players.
Transferred to Manchester City in the summer.
Mancini thought he bought a thigh.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Maicon has become Manchester City's third choice on the right, ranking behind Zabaleta and Micah Richards.
Seeing Huang Kevin pressing, Maicon had no intention of taking the ball and just kicked it sideways.
There is absolutely no momentum like when he dribbled the ball past Huang Kaiwen to the frontcourt to organize the attack.
Kompany was shocked.
He hurriedly avoided Torres' feet and carried the ball forward himself.
Kroos's interception was very timely, but Kompany's body was extremely strong and he almost never lost any confrontation.
After easily knocking Kroos away, Kompany breathed a sigh of relief and passed the ball to Garcia.
Kompany's greatest characteristics are stability and concentration.
During Manchester City's rise, he was the only one who played in the starting position in the defense line.
Javi Garcia actively sought physical confrontation with De Bruyne. The two men tangled for several times on the wing before Garcia kicked the ball to Tevez who was retreating.
Tevez rushed forward with the ball immediately.
Milan's single defensive midfielder still gave him enough space.
Van Bommel was not in a hurry to steal the ball. It was inevitable that his athletic ability would decline with age, so he gradually used precise positioning instead of running.
The moment Van Bommel went for the ball, Tevez stretched out his arm and squeezed past the Dutch captain.
Manchester City's playing style is also related to the fact that their early signings focused more on individual abilities.
Ibrahimovic started immediately and he found a good opportunity.
But Tevez didn't pass the ball.
When Thiago Silva rushed forward, Tevez was still dribbling the ball himself, but this time he met a tough opponent.
Thiago Silva during this period was almost the best defender in the world, with no shortcomings at all.
Although Tevez has good confrontation ability, his body limits his upper limit.
The two men collided, and Thiago Silva stretched his foot sideways and easily poked the ball out.
Ibrahimovic spread his hands towards Tevez in dissatisfaction, the ball was his.
Tevez walked back with his head down without looking at Ibrahimovic.
Mancini, who was already looking forward to a goal, couldn't help but sigh.
But he didn't have too much expectations for today's game.
Milan's counterattack began.
Van Bommel passed the ball directly to Kroos in front, and Kroos immediately passed it back after receiving it.
"Wow, the three people around Kevin Huang also passed the ball."
"This ball was indeed a little ill-considered."
Because there was a problem with the referee's positioning.
Huang Kevin was a step slow in handling the ball after he stretched out his foot to hook it.
Nas reached out from the side and grabbed Kevin Huang's arm, giving Barry time to rush towards Kevin Huang.
Barry chose to fall to the ground and make a tackle.
But Kevin Huang, who pulled the ball, immediately rubbed it with his feet, and the ball jumped over Barry's feet.
Maicon, who was waiting nearby, fell to the ground and tackled the ball immediately.
Although this caused the ball to roll away from Huang Kevin.
But the restrictions on Manchester City are even greater.
Nasri, who was chasing back, tripped over Maicon's legs and both of them fell down.
At this time, Manchester City's defense was in a panic.
Torres and De Bruyne are both on the defensive line.
Plus Kevin Huang who has the ball.
This is fucking three on three in the backcourt!
This situation was extremely unfavorable for the defending side. Several defenders, including Kompany, did not dare to directly press Huang Kevin.
De Bruyne ran behind the defense line and Kevin Huang passed the ball.
Kompany was delighted.
Offside.
But when he saw Torres running in front of Lescott, he realized the problem. De Bruyne had no intention of taking the ball and ran from the center to the left.
Torres started after Huang Kevin passed the ball, and it was not offside!
One is a feint, the other is a real attack.
Hey!
When Kompany saw Torres' one-on-one chance, he felt that the ball was going to go his way.
Pantilimon, who started today, chose to attack, but Torres was still very calm. When Pantilimon was halfway through the attack, he pushed the ball with the inside of his foot, allowing the ball to roll into the net along the right post.
"Goal scored!"
"Torres scored!"
"We didn't feel any difficulty in this attack. AC Milan's counterattack speed really surprised us. When Van Bommel passed the ball to the frontcourt, Huang Kaiwen immediately attracted the attention of Manchester City's defense. There was nothing much to say about his assist after he dribbled past three players. It was just an ordinary pass for Huang Kaiwen."
"Yes, we have no doubts about Kevin Huang's passing ability. In the last game against Napoli, Kevin Huang's complicated calf pass is still talked about by fans."
"Torres was very excited after scoring the goal and rushed towards Huang Kaiwen immediately, but I am very curious why Ramos is always one step ahead of others."
[Lose 100 pounds] Let’s do it.
"Oh, it doesn't make any sense."
"What's wrong, bro?"
"Huang Kaiwen's playing style depends more on his mood, so let's not talk about his state."
"and then?"
"Looking at the situation today, Manchester City has no way to arouse Huang Kaiwen's interest. Otherwise, facing three defenders, he could easily pass the ball by himself or pass the ball forward in advance, and De Bruyne would definitely pass the ball back to him."
"What does this mean?"
"What does it mean? It means that this guy doesn't take Manchester City seriously and has no interest in going out on the field to perform a one-man show. Huang Kaiwen is quite picky about his opponents. He won't use his full strength unless the opponent is a big club."
"I've also discovered this. Huang Kaiwen rarely scores more than three goals when playing for smaller teams, but he usually scores at least five when playing for bigger teams. You can't say that bigger teams are worse than smaller teams."
The director turned the camera over and saw Mancini, wearing a scarf, showing an elegant smile.
He and the professor standing on the sidelines have their own strengths, both of them are handsome old men in the coaching world.
See the active figure of number ten.
Mancini still couldn't help shaking his head.
He was beaten by Kevin Huang in Italy, and he was beaten by Kevin Huang again when he moved to another place.
Hello, look at me.
What is Mancini afraid of?
It was my fault. I couldn't coach AC Milan.
I've lost so many games, I'm not afraid of that anymore.
This is the best description of Mancini's mood.
Everyone loses, it's okay as long as you don't lose too badly.
Didn’t you see that the Qataris were stunned?
Before the game, Mansour specifically talked to him in order to lighten his burden and let him go into the game with a light load.
Manchester City restarted the game and Nasri found Kroos with the ball.
This is just too addictive.
Kroos also chose to defend, which is a common tactic used by players with weak physical fitness.
Nasri wanted to break through directly, but he didn't expect Kroos to be prepared. He quickly moved to the side and blocked the ball out of the sideline.
Maicon came up and threw the ball out of bounds.
The Milan players' bodies were already warmed up at this time and they were highly focused on the game.
The defense against this out-of-bounds ball was quite tight.
In desperation, Maicon could only throw the ball to Xavi Garcia who was making a forward run.
The first thing Garcia did when he got the ball was to go to the left, not wanting to meet Huang Kevin at all.
As a youth player of Real Madrid, he was deeply impressed by Kevin Huang.
Saw Ramos coming up.
Garcia pushed the ball forward and immediately tried to use his speed to get rid of Ramos.
But Ramos turned around immediately and narrowed the space between him and the sideline, forcing Garcia to go around him.
Sinclair ran back quickly and stretched out his foot immediately.
His leg kicked Ramos in the calf.
However, because he was the one who was exerting force, Sinclair, who was not well prepared, lost his balance.
Sinclair, who fell to the ground, quickly stretched out his foot to hook the ball. After two consecutive times, the referee Ma Riqi blew the whistle.
Ramos stood up and went to look for Sinclair.
Normally he is the only one who kicks others, why would anyone kick him?
From Manchester City, only Ibrahimovic came up quickly and helped Huang Kevin to mediate.
"Forget it. Robin's suspension hasn't ended yet. If you get suspended as well, the coach will have a headache."
Huang Kaiwen persuaded.
Ramos nodded, pointed at Sinclair and said, "You better be careful."
The professor also breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
He always felt that Milan players were more active in fighting than in playing football.
He made a certain degree of rotation in today's game, and he actually didn't want Huang Kaiwen to start.
But Hazard was too sticky with the ball, which made him a little unhappy.
So the professor decided to take the cold approach for the time being.
If it's De Bruyne.
The professor will have a sincere conversation with De Bruyne in person.
Because De Bruyne is a little worried.
The professor decided to replace the more active Hazard with a player who would temper his temper on the bench.
You have to deal with different players in different ways.
This is not double standards, but teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
After the kick-off, Manchester City recovered, which made the professor shake his head.
He couldn't like this overly utilitarian style of football.
He can understand that you defend when you are ahead, but he will also defend when you are behind.
Is this what it means to win by losing less?
Inzaghi patted De Sciglio on the shoulder and said, "A round? Give you a chance to win it back?"
"How come?"
DeSilio asked directly.
After being defeated by Inzaghi several times, his temper flared up.
"You know Kevin scores quite a lot of goals. Do you think Kevin will score more than three goals today?" Inzaghi asked, shaking five fingers.
This was a psychological suggestion he learned from TV, and he decided to try it out on this little kid.
"Of course there are more than three!"
De Sciglio said with a smile: "And Kevin is still the starter."
"Oh, I also want to guess that Kevin will score more than three goals. How about this, let's guess whether Kevin can score more than five goals. You choose first."
Inzaghi deliberately used the back of his hand to play with his hair.
His fingers were spread wide, clearly making the sign of five.
"Five is considered more than that?"
De Sciglio asked.
"Correct!"
Inzaghi nodded and encouraged: "If you score 6 goals, I'll double your amount!"
"Deal, I bet...5000!"
DeSilio said through gritted teeth.
I want to make back my money in one go.
Inzaghi pretended to be embarrassed for a few seconds before nodding.
My heart is already blossoming with joy.
It’s not that he looks down on Manchester City, but such a team is really not worthy of Huang Kevin’s full firepower. Inzaghi knows Huang Kevin too well.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that he always says this team is strong and that team is good at the press conference.
But Huang Kevin really has no interest in playing for an ordinary team.
Hart is not here today, and his old friend Ibrahimovic has gone to Manchester City, so Huang Kevin has no reason to score goals.
By beating De Sciglio, I got back the money I spent on French food.
Inzaghi decided to develop more players in the youth team, saving money while increasing revenue.
Manchester City once again failed on the field.
Players with strong personal abilities prefer to take the ball.
There are very few people as obedient as Benzema, who has gone from being the new Ronaldo to the new wingman.
After Buffon confiscated Tevez's shot, he noticed Huang Kevin in the backcourt and threw the ball out without thinking.
This ball was thrown quite accurately.
Huang Kaiwen jogged and slightly sideways, and the ball came directly in front of him.
This scared Gareth Barry, and he rushed towards Kevin Huang.
but.
He has the left-wing characteristics of Henry and Piero, sprint proficiency and various bonuses, and he plays in Manchester.
Huang Kaiwen's speed has been enhanced to an unimaginable level, which is the strength of a talented player.
Almost instantly, Huang Kevin rushed out with the ball.
The powerful explosive force instantly caused a piece of grass at the Etihad Stadium to fly away.
In less than a second, Barry had to turn around and chase back.
At this time, Huang Kaiwen was already more than 5 meters ahead of him.
grass.
The speed can reach about 10 meters per second at the start, which leaves no room for Manchester City players to survive.
The home fans widened their eyes.
They didn't expect Huang Kevin's speed to be so exaggerated.
Manchester City fans even have an illusion that Kevin Huang's speed on the green field is faster than on the rubber track?
Fortunately, Manchester City did not press too deep this time.
Even though Huang Kevin was almost flying along the turf with the ball, Manchester City players had enough time to return to the penalty area.
"Go back and organize."
The professor said hesitantly.
Even though we know that Huang Kevin is good at creating miracles, so many defensive players are not there just to do their job.
In terms of Manchester City's purchases, he feels the most suitable is the defense, even after rotation, it feels more reasonable.
It's not a bad way to spend the money.
And the two midfielders also went back, and six players gathered in the penalty area.
The professor really didn't see any chance.
But he was careful not to shout out.
In just a few seconds, Huang Kevin dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the front of the penalty area.
Maicon didn't even intend to leave the penalty area, he just lowered his center of gravity and retreated.
It seems like they want to win by numbers.
Oh shit.
Kompany cursed Maicon inwardly as a waste and went to face Huang Kevin.
no way.
Maicon kept retreating. If he didn't go up, wouldn't Huang Kevin be able to enter the penalty area easily?
Kompany didn't dare to kick at the first moment.
Although he adjusted his center of gravity quickly, Huang Kevin's reaction was even faster.
Kompany knew that he only had one chance to kick against Kevin Huang.
When Kompany saw Huang Kevin dribbling the ball towards the baseline, he knew it was a trick.
But he didn't know when Huang Kevin would suddenly change direction.
This situation can only be prevented with great caution.
Click,
What Kompany didn't expect was that Huang Kevin took half a step towards the baseline and immediately kicked the ball with his right foot.
The change of direction happened much earlier than he expected.
Kompany quickly stretched out his foot to block it.
However, Huang Kevin changed the direction of the ball and shot sideways. Barry, who was chasing back, and Maicon, who came up to help block the ball, were both a step slower.
Players from both teams looked back in the penalty area.
Huang Kevin's kick passed Maicon with a strong arc. Although the speed of the ball was not fast, the three defenders of Manchester City seriously affected the goalkeeper's vision. When Pantilimon found it, it was too late. He quickly went to the ground but still failed to block the ground ball that hit the right post.
The ball went in!
boom--
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
The Rossoneri who were traveling with the team cheered wildly.
There were also a few Manchester United jerseys mixed in.
It seems that Manchester United fans do not despise Manchester City as much as their coach says.
The owners of the Etihad Stadium remained silent.
He looked at Huang Kevin who was surrounded by his teammates with a complicated expression.
Even if their new chairman is rich, if he can't buy the number 10 jersey, even if he has a chance to conquer the Premier League, he won't be able to win the Champions League.
Or maybe a Europa League?
At least that is a trophy that Kevin Huang will never get in his lifetime.
"Huang Kaiwen's goal was beautiful, with a great arc and angle."
"Yes, Kevin Huang controlled the power and other aspects of the shot very well."
"What surprised us even more was Huang Kaiwen's instantaneous burst of speed. Huang Kaiwen just sprinted 54 meters in 5 seconds. This speed is quite terrifying. Even in a track and field event, it is quite outstanding. Huang Kaiwen has the opportunity to challenge the 98-meter event. His explosive power and starting technique are more obvious in the 60-meter event."
"Huang Kevin's speed is really too fast. Gareth Barry chased him for such a long time. Huang Kevin slowed down for a few seconds in the penalty area before he caught up with Huang Kevin. It looks very intuitive."
Bolt sat in front of the TV with a depressed look on his face.
After he retires, he still wants to play football.
Even if he is not the best sprinter among football players, he can still be the fastest runner among football players.
But after seeing Huang Kaiwen's performance, he really had no confidence.
Bolt always felt that Huang Kevin was getting stronger than before.
He used to be quite proud of his physical fitness.
But Kevin Huang, who defeated him without any training, really dealt him a big blow.
Bolt took the notebook and posted a message on social media: "If Kevin had practiced sprinting since he was a child, how fast would he be?"
really.
It was right not to shout out.
The professor thought with some relief.
no way.
This ball can go in.
To be honest, this ball does not fit his football philosophy at all.
Arsenal and Barcelona are similar in many ways.
Arsenal's cooperation in front of the penalty area allows players to easily find space.
But even the strongest Arsenal couldn't break the iron bucket formation of six people in the penalty area in their usual way.
However, Kevin Huang did it himself.
How do you do it?
Dribble the ball into the penalty area and kick a low curve ball, it's that simple.
No wonder the Scotsman sounded so sarcastic when he called.
Kevin Huang is so strong!
The arrogant professor also admitted that even if the Page Three girl came to coach AC Milan, AC Milan's results would not be too bad.
This realization made the professor a little unhappy.
He turned and looked at Manchester City's coaching bench.
Mancini thought the professor was showing off.
He snorted and turned away from the professor.
Fuck, it’s not like you’re that great.
The feud between the two people has a long history.
The professor couldn't stand Manchester City's spending money like water, and often spoke ill of Manchester City openly or secretly. Mancini publicly talked about Nasri, who was still an Arsenal player, and hoped to sign him as soon as possible, which made the professor very angry.
"Come on, everyone!"
Ibrahimovic shouted as he returned to midfield.
At this time, Manchester City's cohesion was much stronger than before, and there were still people who responded to Ibrahimovic.
"Who does he think he is?"
Tevez's words made the scene a little awkward.
Nasri started watching the show as soon as possible, which is an old tradition of the French team.
Javi Garcia advised: "Let's stop talking. We still have to work harder. We can't lose too badly at home."
"who do you think You Are?"
Tevez asked.
He didn't play very well today.
I originally wanted to take revenge, but I didn't expect to lose so easily.
"If you don't want to play football well, go to Disneyland and give your seat to those who want to play football." Ibrahimovic pointed at Tevez condescendingly.
"Shit."
Tevez used it directly and was not afraid of Ibrahimovic at all.
Seeing that something was not right, Sinclair and his teammates quickly separated the two people.
"It seems that Ibrahimovic and Tevez of Manchester City had some quarrels."
"This situation is not surprising. After all, Ibrahimovic and Tevez are both players with strong personalities. Tevez left Manchester United in part because he could only be a supporting role in Manchester United and had to play in a position he didn't like. Mancini gave the number nine position to Ibrahimovic, and Tevez should not be very happy."
"Yes, Tevez's agent often said things to put pressure on the club, whether it was when he was at Manchester United or Manchester City. The British media generally believed that it was Tevez's instructions. In fact, it is better to communicate with the club if there is anything to say. Leaking rumors directly will make the relationship between the two sides more tense."
"Yaya Toure's agent is not very honest either."
Toure's agent Seluk and Raiola have the same approach, specifically encouraging players to transfer to earn commissions and signing fees.
If it weren't for him, Yaya Toure's career would have been much more brilliant.
Manchester City finally ended the farce.
But Ibrahimovic and Tevez are still holding their breath.
The expressions of both of them were not very good, which gave Mancini a bad feeling.
His only hope now is that the players don't make trouble on the court and it's okay for them to have a fight in the locker room.
Just don't embarrass the team in front of the whole world.
After the restart, Ibrahimovic rushed forward with the ball and was immediately pressed by Torres.
The Swede made several fancy moves with his No. 46 big foot, and De Bruyne also rushed up.
Ibrahimovic could only turn around and protect the ball.
Seeing Tevez right behind him, he pretended not to see it and instead passed the ball diagonally to Xavi Garcia who was further back.
Tevez's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
The originally scary face became even more hideous.
Ibrahimovic pretended not to see it and ran forward.
Sinclair took one look and ran forward as well.
The two of them, one tall and one fast, are just waiting for their teammates to pass the ball.
Nasri on the other side looked down at his toes.
grass?
It becomes 442 again?
He felt that if he didn't retreat to get the ball, there might not be a way to connect the midfield and frontcourt today.
But who told them that he, Samir Nasri, was such a selfless player?
"Don't take the ball in the backcourt, it's too dangerous, pass it out quickly!"
Mancini shouted from the sidelines.
The players kept passing the ball back and forth in the backcourt, which was no different from playing with fire.
Gareth Barry grinned as he listened.
He also wanted to pass the ball, but Tevez was in a bad mood and didn't come to receive the ball. Was he supposed to pass the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt by himself?
Seeing Huang Kevin rushing up again, Barry immediately kicked him sideways.
He didn't want to lose the ball anyway.
Xavi Garcia had the same idea and did it more decisively. Garcia, who came from Real Madrid's youth training system, swung his right foot and kicked the ball forward.
He didn't care about accuracy at all, he just wanted to lift the ball towards Milan's half.
The professor smiled gloatingly on the sidelines.
There are many grievances between him and Manchester City. Seeing Manchester City spend so much money and still play like this, the professor really feels good.
Don't think he is a generous person.
He has also had verbal battles with many coaches.
However, the accuracy of this ball is still good, and it went straight into Milan's penalty area.
Thiago Silva jumped up and headed the ball, but he hit the wrong spot and the ball fell directly to Ibrahimovic's feet.
Silva rushed to Ibrahimovic to make amends, and Ibrahimovic opened his arms to confront Thiago Silva and walked to the side with the ball.
"Pass the ball, idiot!"
Tevez shouted as he made a forward run.
But Ibrahimovic had no intention of passing the ball and just protected the ball near the sideline.
Thiago Silva didn't want to continue to fight with him, so he saw the right moment and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
"Damn it, can't you hear me?"
Tevez rushed over and asked.
Ibrahimovic stood there, looking straight ahead, and said, "I can't hear any dogs barking."
"You fucking..."
Tevez raised his arm and wanted to hit someone.
Thiago Silva, who was nearby, quickly hugged Tevez.
After all, Ibrahimovic is a former teammate, and the relationship between them is pretty good.
Take the opportunity to take sides.
"Don't be impulsive Ibra."
Zambrotta advised: "Be careful of being banned from the team if you hit your teammates."
The two were teammates when they were at Juventus.
Ibrahimovic looked at Tevez's fierce eyes and wanted to take action. At this time, Manchester City players had rushed up to persuade them to stop fighting.
Players from both teams quickly stopped there.
Referee Ma Zhiqi also came over and warned the two players.
"Eden, get up and warm up."
The professor turned around and hooked his finger.
Hazard immediately took off his training jacket and ran to the sidelines.
Boulder asked, "Aren't you planning on not using him during this period?"
“It’s a different situation.”
The professor said: "The Manchester City players are a bit angry. I'm afraid Kevin will get hurt."
Boulder: ...
Are you randomly selecting a lucky player to fight the BOSS in each game?
However, Boulder also felt that the professor's approach was correct. The entire Champions League game was dispensable and would not affect Milan's qualification as the first in the group.
It would be a shame if Huang Kevin got hurt.
Hazard was pushed onto the field before he even fully warmed up.
"Are you okay, Kevin?"
The professor walked over and asked.
"Don't worry, coach, I'm fine."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Boulder handed over the towel at this time.
Because of the internal strife in Manchester City, players from both teams were not focused on the field.
The first half went into halftime with a score of 2:0.
Players from both sides were walking back.
There's something wrong with the atmosphere at Manchester City.
Huang Kevin quietly slowed down his pace.
really.
Tevez came down the stairs and turned around and asked, "Why didn't you pass the ball to me?"
Ibrahimovic snorted, then raised his No. 46 big foot and stamped it on Tevez's face.
