The strongest blade in football

Chapter 151 Respectable opponent

Manchester City is like a fierce villain with a machine gun in his hand, constantly pouring bullets at Aston Villa's defense line.

In stoppage time in the first half, it was the genius Balotelli again. He leaned on Curral and completed an unreasonable turnaround volley in the penalty area.

Fortunately, Friedel reacted quickly and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Manchester City won a corner before the end of the first half.

David Silva walked over.

Mancini was very good at set-pieces and corner kicks when he was a player, and he developed different tactics.

Especially for set-pieces, after Mancini became the head coach of Manchester City, he became even more of a set-piece idiot.

In Manchester City, he and the members of the coaching staff studied all the details of the set piece——

The geometric trajectory of the ball, how to stand around different human walls, and how to choose the footwork when kicking the ball according to the goalkeeper's position.

He also has a set of special computer software that records thousands of corner kicks and free kicks in the Premier League, looking for the best way to free kicks, and improving the scoring rate.

This was the last attack of the first half, and most of the Manchester City players squeezed close to the opponent's penalty area line.

Silva kicked a corner kick, Kompany leaped high like in the training game, flicked his bald head back, and looked back at the moon.

The football hit the lower end of the crossbar in the upper right corner of the goal and refracted into the net!

4 is better than 0!

Manchester City went crazy!

The eyes of Aston Villa's players were full of helplessness, and some players seemed numb.

During the intermission, Balotelli was in a good mood. The reason why he scored two goals today is largely because of the resolution of that troublesome matter.

He gave Wang Nuo a look at his cell phone.

It was a multimedia message, and in the photo was a girl with red hair and brown skin, who was pretty pretty.

"It's her! Her real name is Gemma, French! She's 25 years old!" Balotelli tapped the screen several times with his hand, "Can you believe it? That man is her boyfriend! This scam was done by him. idea!"

The corner of Wang Nuo's mouth twitched twice, he hadn't expected this kind of plot at all.

"Branson is such a nice guy! He settled the whole thing for me for only 3000 pounds! 30 to 3000 pounds, I saved a lot of money!" Balotelli was excited.

"Jema was really unlucky, she met such a boyfriend, I talked to her on the phone, advised her to leave that bastard, of course, I also gave her 3000 pounds, she needs money, her mother is very ill. "

The sympathetic Balotelli kept introducing the latest developments to Wang Nuo for several minutes.

Wang Nuo looked at him and sighed in his heart. He really couldn't understand how Balotelli's brain works.

Time passed quickly, and the second half began again soon.

Changing sides to fight again, Mancini let the two wings recover, he prefers to concede fewer goals than to score more goals.

Wang Nuo's task is no longer just to attack the city, but also to actively retreat and assist the midfielder to control the ball. He has completed Mancini's arrangements and deployment very well.

Compared with the first half, the second half of the game will be a little dull.

Aston Villa has almost lay flat, and some occasional attacks are not systematic, and it is difficult to pose a substantial threat to Manchester City's defense.

Manchester City became Barcelona, ​​they had the ball, the ball, the ball, and then seized the fleeting opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Wang Nuo got a rare opportunity.

The pass came from midfielder Vieira. The Frenchman used a precise overhead pass to help Wang Nuo get the ball outside the penalty area.

In this game, Vieira performed very well, far better than his old teammate Pires who joined Aston Villa as a free agent in the summer.

Wang Nuo unloaded the ball with the outside of his instep, took advantage of the situation and waded through Delph, who had just appeared on the field, and once again got a chance to almost face the goalkeeper.

At the beginning of the first half, Wang Nuo once had such an opportunity, but it was a pity that he kicked an anti-aircraft gun.

The difference this time is that Aston Villa's defenders are more eager to stabilize their defense!
They don't want to be scored again!

No. 3 Warnock, who already had a yellow card on his back, shoveled directly!

This tackle was straightforward, but not smooth. He touched the ball and made subtle contact with Wang Nuo's feet at the same time.

Wang Nuo, who was dribbling forward, was tripped by such a trip, and his body center of gravity was obviously skewed. His upper body lay forward and ran for several steps, looking like he would fall into the mud at any time.

Manchester City fans let out a burst of excited murmurs, ready to welcome a penalty!

As long as Wang Nuo falls down!
After Warnock hit Wang Nuo with his foot, his expression became ugly instantly. He touched the ball first, but soon made contact with Wang Nuo's feet. If Wang Nuo fell on the ground at this time On the ground, it is very likely that he will be wrongly judged to take a card!

He sat on the ground and looked back at Wang Nuo blankly. He felt as if he had been sentenced to death.

The referee, Kevin Friend, had already put his whistle on his lips. To be honest, he couldn't see it very clearly, and the verdict was a hair's breadth away.

All eyes were on the staggering Wang Nuo, waiting for him to fall outside the small restricted area.

However, after taking a breath, what they saw was not a player sitting on the ground stretching out his hands to ask for a penalty kick, but a guy who leaned on the ground with one hand, readjusted his balance, and desperately caught up with the football!
After the goalkeeper Friedel was stunned for a moment, he immediately blocked Wang Nuo.

But Wang Nuo adjusted quickly, aiming at the far post and hitting a rubbing shot.

The football drew a beautiful arc, and with a "boom", it hit the outside of the far post and popped out of the baseline.

"Woooow!" The home fans let out a low cry of regret, but then they gave Wang Nuo a sincere applause.

Referee Kevin Friend took down his whistle and glanced at Warnock on the ground.

Warnock could read the referee - lucky you.

Panting heavily, Wang Nuo wiped the sweat off the roots of his forehead and hair with his hands in annoyance. It would be great if he didn't pursue the angle so much, he thought to himself.

Wang Nuo turned and walked back silently amid the applause of the audience.

Of course, he could still hear sporadically someone shouting, "Penalty!" "Referee, that's a penalty!"

Was that a penalty?Not!

For the ball just now, Wang Nuo didn't think about going down on purpose at all, he knew that the opponent didn't foul.

Nowadays, the court is always full of all kinds of diving and diving. Many players want to cheat penalties, but Wang Nuo never said that in his dictionary.

He doesn't try to fall or fake an injury to trick the referees.

When Wang Nuo made a fast breakthrough or chased the ball, physical contact with the opponent was inevitable, and he might stumble or fall, but that was not what he expected.

All this stems from Wang Nuo's childhood playing experience.

Some parts of the "United Nations Stadium" were full of potholes. Wang Nuo had to learn to keep his balance. At that time, there was no such thing as a referee on the field.

Even if you fall down, the children's ball game will continue, and your teammates will only think you are a jerk.

So Wang Nuo has already turned this way of playing football into his instinct. No matter what, Wang Nuo will do his best to keep moving forward. He can't dive at all, and he doesn't know how to fall.

He is more willing to pass the opponent to kick and shoot, and then see if the goal is scored or not!
After wasting this opportunity, good luck never came to Wang Nuo again.

The rest of Manchester City got several good chances to score later, but they didn't grasp it.

In the end, the result of the game was fixed on the score at the end of the first half, and Manchester City beat Aston Villa at home.

4:0 victory, without a trace of sympathy.

After the game, Wang Nuo was stopped by Warnock before going off the field.

"Can I exchange jerseys with you?" The defender, who came from Liverpool's youth training and was ten years older than Wang Nuo, patted Wang Nuo on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Of course." Wang Nuo won the game and got an assist. He was in a good mood.

"You played well!" Warnock praised sincerely. "Nowadays, there are not many pure forwards like you. What is rarer than football skills is noble character. You are a respectable opponent!"
