Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 663

"Damn Pierce!"

"If you're not in Manchester City, even if I win this time, I'll see that Spaniard, not your expression of wanting to cry!"

"Damn Pierce..."

Roy Keane faced the wall of the locker room with a dark face, and cursed for several minutes before he felt better.

He gathered the players around him and began to emphasize the pre-match tactical arrangements on the tactical board.

"Nellen, Dixon!"

"Remember what I told you yesterday?"

"Today, your only task is to keep an eye on their No. 9 on the defensive end!"

"Off-ball follow-up, close confrontation, trash talk..."

"No matter what method you use!"

"I don't want to see that No. 9 get even an open opportunity in today's game!"

"Don't let him receive the pass comfortably!"

Sunderland central defender Nellen Nosworthy and midfielder Dixon Etuhu nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

It's just the inner thoughts of the two.

Far from being as calm and confident as he appears on the surface.

Damn it.

Taking the initiative to confront the demon Su.

Isn't that courting death.....

But.

The head coach has spoken, so what can we do.

We have to bear it even if we can't stand it...

..............................................................

Half an hour later.

This "reminiscence battle" between Manchester City and the black cat Sunderland at home is about to begin.

On the Manchester City side, the starting lineup is exactly the same as the last game against Derby County, and Guardiola has not made any changes.

It is still 3412.

Modric and Mata are on both wings, Su Fei is the front midfielder, and Cassano and Balotelli are the double strikers.

.....

On the Sunderland side, Roy Keane, who was born in Manchester United, is naturally Ferguson's 442.

Goalkeeper: Craig Gordon.

Defenders: Danny Collins, McShea, Nylan Noseworthy, Ross Wallace.

Midfielders: Liam Miller, Dixon Etuhu, York, Richardson.

Two forwards: Kenwyn Jones, Murphy.

....................................................

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Sunderland has the ball.

Compared to Derby County, which is slow in attack and plays a pass-and-control game.

Sunderland, led by Roy Keane, who came from Manchester United, plays a very standard English football style.

Long pass.

Four big words are enough to summarize Sunderland's offensive style.

Sunderland's midfielder Etuhu received a pass from the side.

Raised his right leg high.

Aim at the football.

Slam hard.

The football flew all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Middle.

Sunderland forward Yorke, forward Jones and Murphy ran all the way.

In the backfield of Manchester City.

Where the ball landed, Martinez and Pepe were in charge, competing with Sunderland for the high ball.

The tall Martinez.

He was the first to head the ball.

Then.

Modric, who was retreating back, used his body to block Martinez's header before Sunderland forward Miller.

The ball was not warmed up by the feet of Sunderland players before it was exchanged to Manchester City.

On the side of the court.

Roy Keane patted his thigh and couldn't help clenching his teeth.

Not far away.

Guardiola quietly returned to the bench and sat down.

Some teams.

You may need to watch for 10 to 20 minutes to see how the opponent will play and what kind of tactics they will use.

Some teams.

In just one round, you can probably estimate the level of this team...

Sunderland obviously belongs to the latter.

Roy Keane is still too young after all. His Sunderland is completely built according to Ferguson's tactical system, or a simplified version based on the ability of Sunderland players.

I guess behind it.

Ferguson's personal guidance to Roy Keane is indispensable.

In other words.

Sunderland is "Little Manchester United", and the overall strength of the players is one level lower than that of Manchester United.

Facing such an opponent.

Guardiola naturally put his heart at ease at the beginning, and simply chose to sit on the bench, and was too lazy to stand on the side of the court to command himself...

And the situation in the next game.

Just as Guardiola thought, there was nosuspense.

After Manchester City players adapted to Sunderland's style of play, they quickly found their feeling in the familiarity.

............................................................

19th minute of the game.

Modric dribbled the ball forward on the left side, and under the protection of Su Fei's cooperation, he came all the way to the offensive third zone.

Raised his leg and passed diagonally.

The ball was sent to Cassano who was running along the back line.

Cassano dribbled the ball all the way to the left side of the penalty area, facing the close-fitting pressure of Sunderland's left back Collins.

Turned around to protect the ball.

After stabilizing the ball, he passed the ball back to Martinez who was advancing in the middle.

This game.

Guardiola arranged a very wide range of activities for Martinez, wanting to stimulate the offensive attributes of the young Spanish player, while the other midfielder Pepe was fixed in the main defense of the midfield and backcourt.

Martinez faced the ball.

Moved horizontally without stopping the ball.

The ball was sent to Sunderland's weak defensive side, the right side.

There.

Mata unloaded the ball steadily, then got rid of Sunderland right-back Ross Wallace who was trying to steal the ball, and dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom.

After reaching the baseline, Mata did not stay for long, but when there was chaos in the Sunderland penalty area.

He kicked the ball decisively and lobbed it high.

The football flew into the Sunderland penalty area.

Balotelli made the first point cover, and Su Fei hung on Sunderland defender Nosworth and headed for the ball.

"Bang!!!"

In front of the goal was the explosion that Manchester City fans had been looking forward to since the beginning of the new season.

The next second! !

"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!"

"The ball went in!!"

"The ball went in............."

The entire Etihad Stadium was instantly drowned in the crazy shouts of tens of thousands of Blue Moon fans.

The iconic and violent header of the demon Su!

Every appearance!

All of these are enough to cause all fans who support and like Su Fei to go crazy!

This is the youth of countless fans!

It is also the most familiar memory of the beginning of the story of Manchester City's dynasty!

..........................................................

Knowing that Su Fei is awesome is one thing... Seeing Su Fei knock down his opponent on the court is another thing...

And the one who personally experienced being knocked down by Su Fei was Naren Nosworthy on the court at this time.

Nosworthy rubbed his painful chest.

He climbed up from the grass with difficulty and looked at the magic Su celebrating with his teammates in the corner area.

Swallowed his saliva.

Nosworthy didn't play in the last FA Cup.

But when Sunderland played against Manchester City for the second time in the 05-06 season, he was the starting central defender in that game.

One and a half years.

A fucking year and a half.

Magic Su.

Still the fucking magic Su.

No way.

Next, I have to be a little "smarter".

I still remember that in 2005, West Bromwich Albion's central defender Gadso was knocked to the hospital by him, not just once, but also in the second match...

I heard.

That guy retired after the 2005-06 season...

What a beast... What a beast...
