Chapter 303
However, Zhao Jinge was naturally happy to see the opponent's mentality go wrong. In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Zhao Jinge directly called on his teammates to press forward.

Everton's tactical adjustment is not complicated. Do you want to control the ball more to stabilize the situation? Guardiola saw Koeman's intention after watching it for a few minutes.

Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne also saw that Everton wanted to be stable, so they would definitely not agree.

Although Everton is about to surrender, isn't it still completely surrendered? The score of three to zero is not satisfying enough. No matter what, they have to score one or two more, right?
Seeing that Everton didn't look like they would be fooled again, De Bruyne stopped pretending. After Mahrez grabbed the ball, he and Gundogan organized to greet his teammates and press forward steadily.

It is also a three-man midfield, but Manchester City's midfielder is suppressing Everton's strong offensive and defensive three midfielders and cannot move. Basically, it has to play according to Everton.

Everton's three forwards never received support from their teammates in the midfield and backcourt. They stood like wooden stakes in the Manchester City half. In desperation, Ronald Koeman could only make a quick substitution six minutes into the second half.

A forward was removed and replaced with a midfielder, but the effect was still not obvious.

Soon, it was Manchester City's turn to attack again, and Zhao Jinge easily won a point in Everton's half.

However, there were quite a lot of people in Everton's backcourt at the moment, and it was impossible to counterattack, but Zhao Jinge did not stop dribbling the ball.

He can't fight a counterattack, but he can play a strong attack. He finally caught this opportunity to get the ball, and it's time to exercise his muscles and bones.

Sterling also started running on the wing at this moment.

He believed that Zhao Jinge would definitely see his position after creating an opportunity!
Whether I can wear a hat today depends entirely on the performance of my thighs this time!

"Zhao Jinge stopped the ball with his back, so beautiful! He turned around and passed Cleverley! The position seemed a bit close to the wing, but it doesn't matter. This also makes it easier for Zhao Jinge to advance with the ball. Zhao Jinge started to speed up!"

Andy Gray's commentary was a bit exciting. To sum up, it has been a while since I saw Zhao Jinge's long-distance running performance. Recently, Zhao Jinge has scored more goals through long shots and headers. Today, Zhao Jinge will reproduce his previous wonderful performance. Performance?

The Everton players on the field were all tense. At this moment, they were facing a formidable enemy. They looked at Zhao Jinge, who was running on the wing with the ball, and called each other to stand still.

Speaking of defense, Everton's players were relatively confident before this game, but after conceding three goals in the first half of this game, they really had no idea whether they could stop the explosive Zhao Jinge. I greeted my teammates to be careful.

Barry did not attack this time, so when faced with Zhao Jinge's sudden advance, he first observed it, but Cleverley was passed too cleanly by Zhao Jinge's turning pass. Barry had no choice but to step forward. Try to interfere with Zhao Jinge.

Ashley Williams also made the same choice as Barry, approaching immediately to interfere with Zhao Jinge's dribbling.

This was a defensive interference caused by a two-person double team, but for Zhao Jinge, he was already familiar with this level of defense.

And he is not an ordinary attacker. He has skills and a strong physique. Barry is a pretty good defensive midfielder, but he is only 1.7 meters tall, so his interference with Zhao Jinge is really minimal.

Ashley Williams is just a good player who fits Everton's defensive system, but do you really want to say that his defense is very good?

Not necessarily, at least compared to many Premier League center backs Zhao Jinge has encountered, Ashley Williams is quite satisfactory.

Withstanding Barry's interference, Zhao Jinge accelerated and suddenly cut inside laterally, directly dodging Ashley Williams' interception!
The cut from the left to the center was completed almost instantly. After Ashley Williams and Barry were thrown away, Zhao Jinge directly faced Everton's defense.

Jagielka rushed out of the penalty area and was about to collide with Zhao Jinge. It seemed that he wanted to risk a foul and a card to keep Zhao Jinge outside the penalty area.

But Zhao Jinge suddenly spiked the ball to the left and accelerated, not only dodging Jagielka, but also passing Ashley Williams who was returning to defense!

Ashley Williams was teased twice by Zhao Jinge, and his face turned red. However, after playing in the Premier League for so many years, although Ashley Williams has not won as many honors as his brother, his temperament has been tempered to be relatively calm, regardless of Losing face, he turned around and ran to the left area of ​​the penalty area following Zhao Jinge.

"Continuous changes of direction, cutting inside and then spiking the ball to the left! Zhao's feet seemed to have magic. He swayed Ashley Williams twice in a row!

Jagielka could only follow him and eat ashes. This was the third person Zhao passed!But he hasn't stopped yet. In front of him is Oviedo, the full-back who comes over to defend! "

Sky Sports commentators and guests were all fascinated by it. The scenes of riding alone on the football field always make the audience excited, especially unlike other attackers, Zhao Jinge, the height of the authentic center, can make such a beautiful and light dribbling. His actions made the commentator couldn't help but cheer for him!
After Zhao Jinge broke into the left area of ​​Everton's penalty area, only Oviedo was left in front of him. The Everton left back adjusted his pace and stared at Zhao Jinge's movements vigilantly.

It was definitely not possible to attack again at this time. Oviedo called on his teammates to quickly return to defense. Jagielka and Ashley Williams were already surrounding them. Zhao Jinge also slowed down near the baseline, allowing everyone to The commentators were confused.

It stands to reason that at this time, either try to open the space to hit the goal, or pass the ball before the defender retreats. Whether it is a split or a direct pass, it can be regarded as a good offensive attempt.

But Zhao Jinge stopped near the baseline to give other Everton defenders time to return to defense. When others double-team him, Zhao Jinge would have no other better way except to get a corner kick.

Could it be that Zhao Jinge made a mistake?Although Andy Gray was puzzled, he still believed that Zhao Jinge had his own reasons for doing this.

"Zhao Jinge was forced to the edge of the baseline. He leaned sideways on Jagielka. Oviedo seemed to be about to step forward and try to steal the ball!"

Oviedo saw Zhao Jinge being pinched and quickly tried to break the ball out of the baseline.

He didn't know why, but he was always a little panicked, so he decided to destroy Zhao Jinge's attack first. Even if he gave Manchester City a corner kick, he couldn't let Zhao Jinge continue to control the ball!

But the moment Oviedo took the shot, Zhao Jinge stepped on the ball and pulled back. After avoiding Oviedo's destruction, he slightly pushed away Jagielka, who was desperately squeezing his space for movement, and then followed the baseline to the right. Move the ball to the left with your foot.

At this moment, the ball seemed to be almost over the bottom line, almost a third of it was inside the bottom line. From the perspective of Jagielka and Oviedo, the ball was already out of bounds. They quickly raised their hands to signal the sidelines. The referee, but the linesman was unmoved.

Zhao Jinge moved the ball with his right foot and pressed forward with his body. He quickly knocked the football that was about to go out of bounds into the penalty area with his left foot. He also quickly got rid of the two defenses, overtook from outside the baseline, and headed towards Everton's penalty area again!
Although Oviedo was annoyed that the linesman was unmoved, he still turned around in time and entered the penalty area with Zhao Jinge.

But at this time, Zhao Jinge had already occupied a favorable position, and Oviedo was pinned behind him. In desperation, he actually tried to trip Zhao Jinge!
Even if he would be sent off with a red card and give Manchester City a penalty kick, Oviedo couldn't care less. He had only one thought at the moment, which was to prevent Zhao Jinge from completing this attack!However, Zhao Jinge only staggered two steps under Oviedo's hook, but still managed to maintain his stability. On the contrary, Oviedo's feet were mixed and he fell straight into his own penalty area.

Zhao Jinge's shooting angle at the moment is not very good, but if he hits a rub shot, he still has a chance to score.

However, when Everton's left back Baines also rushed toward him, Zhao Jinge decisively pushed the ball to the back of Everton's penalty area.

There were hardly any Everton defensive players there at the moment.

In the shocked eyes of countless spectators, Zhao Jinge performed a baseline one-two that shocked everyone and then passed the ball out.

At this time, Sterling, who was ambushing at the back point, also easily got the ball. He boldly used a fake move to smash the ball past Everton goalkeeper Sklonberger and pushed back into the empty goal!

"Unbelievable! God! Unparalleled wonderful performance!!! What magic did Zhao perform on the bottom line? We didn't see his movements clearly at all!
Sterling hit the ball that Zhao fed to his mouth and he scored his first Premier League hat trick! "

Sterling didn't think about anything after scoring the goal. He rushed to Zhao Jinge excitedly, then knelt down on one knee and motioned Zhao Jinge to put his foot on his knee.

See also the shoe shine celebration!

Zhao Jinge was not pretentious and allowed Sterling to complete the entire set of actions before the two of them ran to the corner flag area hand in hand and waited for their teammates to come up and celebrate together.

Sterling was already in a state of ecstasy, and the hand holding Zhao Jinge's arm refused to let go.

Almost all of the three goals were nanny balls from Zhao Jinge. For this hat trick, Sterling had nothing else to say to Zhao Jinge other than thanks.

After the restart, Everton was completely convinced by the kick, and was shocked to death at their home court!
However, Everton completely surrendered this time. Ronald Koeman replaced a substitute central defender and removed Lukaku, which was regarded as giving up on the goal.

When the Manchester City players saw this, they all cried out that it was a pity.

Ronald Koeman, Ronald Koeman, you persisted when you were two goals behind at the beginning. Keep attacking. If you don't attack anymore, how can we have the nerve to continue attacking you!
Guardiola is also scratching his head. Ronald Koeman has given up. If he continues to let his disciples kill him, won't he become a mortal enemy?

Anyway, it's already [-]-[-], and what needs to be vented has been done, and it's time for these young men to stop.

Guardiola quickly made adjustments, signaling De Bruyne to control the ball more. Teacher Ding naturally understood what the coach meant and gradually slowed down the pace. Manchester City's offense and counterattack were almost there.

In the 706th minute of the second half, Guardiola replaced Zhao Jinge with Dzeko, and then in the 80th minute, he replaced Sterling with Mane, giving the two men a separate opportunity to receive the applause and cheers of Manchester City fans.

After coming off the field, Zhao Jinge and Sterling also high-fived their old teammates on the bench to celebrate.

The last minute of the game ended in a dull manner amid defeats between Manchester City and Everton. Manchester City defeated Everton [-]-[-] away from home, ushering in their first victory in the league after four rounds of winlessness!
After Guardiola shook hands with Ronald Koeman, who had a wry smile on his face, he also gave him an apologetic hug.

What can Ronald Koeman say? They can only blame themselves for their bad luck. They met Manchester City who were in such good form today!

After the two head coaches exchanged pleasantries, they each went to find the players.

Ronald Koeman wants to comfort the extremely hurt hearts of the Everton players today, and Guardiola wants to celebrate this big victory with his disciples!

After this round of the league ended, the Champions League group stage also entered the third round, entering a critical moment to grab points.

On the evening of October [-]th, after rotating many players, Manchester City traveled to St. Petersburg to challenge the third opponent in the group away from home, the Russian Super League giant Zenit!

Faced with Zenit, which is currently undergoing personnel turnover and is no longer dominant this year. Currently ranked only No. 4 in the Russian Premier League, Guardiola did not take any chances and put in place a stable [-]-[-]-[-] rotation.

Zhao Jinge started with Bosnia and Herzegovina center Dzeko as a double forward, with Mane as the left midfielder and David Silva as the right midfielder. Today Yaya Toure will serve as the core midfielder!

The other of the two defensive midfielders is Gundogan, and Kante was left in Manchester to rest.

Otamendi, who had been sidelined for several games, finally got the opportunity to start with Stones as a central defender.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Zenit [-]-[-] away from home and ushered in two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.

Zhao Jinge and Dzeko both scored goals, and Manchester City began to advance vigorously on all three battleships.

And the most important thing is that all the away games with the two Eastern European teams were played before the cold winter. The remaining three Champions League group matches, except for one that required an away game against Real Madrid, the remaining two games were all played away from home. It's home court.

This is definitely very good news for Manchester City, because although Real Madrid defeated Zenit away from home in the last round of the Champions League, they still need to travel to Dynamo Kyiv in December this year and travel to Eastern Europe in the winter. Playing football must be a very uncomfortable experience.

I have to say that Manchester City does have a slight advantage in the schedule.

At this time, more and more fans finally realized that Manchester City's prospects this season were even better than what they had shown.

With a sufficient and reasonable rotation system, Manchester City this season has finally ushered in a stage of accumulation!
