Chapter 360 A Little Troubled Tianwang Mountain
2019 10 Month 19 Day.
Etihad Stadium.
It was Bury's toughest game in the Premier League this season.
If won, it will set a good tone for the whole season.
Of course, Manchester City also think so.
After the introduction of Rodri this season, Manchester City's hidden dangers in the midfielder have been completely eliminated. This 7000 million high-end product has played a good role in connecting the past and the future, making Manchester City's operation in the midfield more smooth.
And this also allowed Manchester City to achieve an unbeaten record of six wins and one draw in the first seven league games, ranking second only with a goal difference disadvantage.
Last season, it was the disadvantage of head-to-head confrontation that led to the loss of the final league championship, so Guardiola naturally wanted to avenge his shame in this game.
However, the confrontation between the two teams in the Community Shield Cup this season made Guardiola feel panicked in his chest.
But something unexpected happened on Zhang Chong's side.
Due to the tropical storm, Cheng Sichu and Chen Ming were stranded in the Philippines for more than a day after playing the top [-] World Cup qualifiers.
When they rushed back to Manchester, it was already October 10.
As far as their physical condition is concerned, they are no longer suitable for this competition.
So Zhang Chong suddenly lost two main players.
The physical strength of other players participating in international competitions is not optimistic.
Harland, in particular, seemed to have some muscle tension.
This little bastard, does he need to be so excited to play a national team game?
For the purpose of protecting him, Zhang Chong did not choose to let him start.
Now, there are three main players missing from the starting lineup!
As for Manchester City, although the main players have also experienced the devastation of the national team, Guardiola still sent them all on the field!
This also shows how much Guardiola attaches importance to this game.
After the game started, the sequelae of the lack of major generals gradually emerged.
Without Harland's containment in the penalty area, Manchester City can more calmly control the ball in the backcourt.
Although Ivan Tony is also very powerful, the gap in his static talent cannot be made up.
So in the first half of the game, Manchester City had the advantage on the field.
One of the great advantages of Guardiola's system is that they can reduce physical exertion through frequent passing, so they are obviously less affected by the FIFA virus than Bury.
Amidst the cheers of the home fans, they got many good chances, and Bury's defense seemed a little shaky.
Sure enough, in the No.303 minute of the game, the deadlock on the field was broken!
De Bruyne took the ball in the midfield. He used a precise oblique long pass to Mesias on the left. After receiving the ball, Suss dribbled the ball horizontally, and then directly made an oblique plug!
Sterling on the right immediately jumped in at high speed, grabbed the ball in front of Robertson, and then took a step inside with the ball and directly chose a sweeping center!
At this time, Mesias has already outflanked the ball and sent the ball into the goal before Ruben Dias!
It was a typical Manchester City goal, making full use of the space in the ribs, and it was finally easy for Messias to break through.
In this way, Manchester City finally turned their advantage on the scene into a goal!
The fans at the scene also cheered and jumped for joy. No matter what time it is, it is very pleasing to them to lead Bury!
But Zhang Chong raised his eyebrows. Now the whole team is not excited enough to play the overall pressure he wants, so facing Manchester City's pass control system, they are a little powerless.
The damn schedule!
If it goes on like this, Burry may be in danger!
He sighed, thinking that it was time to consider a change of formation!
So during the intermission, he chose to directly change the formation to 442.
Mbappe moved forward to partner with Ivan Toni, Kante rested, Maddison retreated to midfield, and Sancho played as a left midfielder.
Since Sancho was not selected for the national team this time, his physical strength is very abundant!
Zhang Chong pinned his hopes on his penetration on the left to deliver shells to the two teammates on the front line.
However, this disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is easy to be penetrated by the opponent through the midfield line.
But Zhang Chong can't care so much anymore, he just wants to compete with Manchester City for the bayonet and the ability to seize opportunities!
Of course, compared to the time of the Community Shield Cup, Zhang Chong was forced to do it this time.
Now he only hopes that he can drain enough blood for Manchester City before Manchester City stabs him to death!
However, this time it backfired!
In the 9th minute, Manchester City broke through Bury's midfield line, and De Bruyne dribbled the ball to the edge of Bury's penalty area.
Ruben Dias stepped forward to interfere, but De Bruyne handed the ball to Jesus who was running diagonally. Jesus turned his back to Botman and chose a heel knock, and the ball happened to come back again. It was handed back to De Bruyne who went forward!
De Bruyne did not hesitate, and shot directly!
The football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball. Mendy touched the football with his fingertips, but failed to change its trajectory!
The net was hit hard, and white waves appeared.
Two to zero!
Manchester City extended their lead!
Gary Neville in the studio couldn't help sighing: "It looks like Bury's first defeat of the season is coming."
Carragher also nodded in agreement.
Also, from the perspective of scenes and technical statistics, Manchester City undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.
However, there was a gleam of light in Zhang Chong's eyes.
He called Bowen from the bench and let him play.
No matter how much Manchester City's players save energy, their players have experienced the national team competition after all, and their energy should be at its peak at this time.
So he took the first step to make substitutions, just to let Sancho and Bowen, the two full-strength wingers, hit their ribs!
At minute No.605, Zhang Chong finally got the chance he wanted!
When Gundogan was responding to Rodri's pass, he inadvertently stopped the ball. Rice took the opportunity to grab the ball and steal it!
Then he gave the ball directly to Bowen, Bowen took the ball and started to accelerate, straight into Manchester City's rib area!
Rodri had no other choice, and immediately ran over to prepare for defense.
But when he approached Bowen, Bowen suddenly accelerated again, directly leaving Rodri behind!
At this time, there are two points in front of him. He saw Mbappe reaching for the ball, so he decisively chose a through ball!
Mbappe understood it, and instantly started to throw off the defender, forming a single-handed ball from a small angle!
Ederson stepped forward to block the shot angle, but Mbappe was not greedy for merit, and swept across the middle with a cross.
Ivan Toni had been waiting for a long time, and he pushed the ball lightly and scored the goal!
Two to one!
Bury scored one back!
There are still 10 minutes left in the game, and the suspense has risen again!
