Lukaku is 191cm tall and weighs 200 kilograms.

Now he is fast and fierce, and is a counterattack weapon for the team. He must also be the player that Manchester City focuses on.

With the second striker Barkley, Everton's defensive counterattack is sharp and fierce.

So Manchester City did not start pressing at the beginning, but stood in position and waited quietly for the opportunity.

Everton played at home, and their tactics were even more conservative.

Obviously, they were also afraid of Manchester City's strong offensive power.

Therefore, after receiving the ball, Besic did not move forward, but passed it back directly.

Wait for Manchester City to press forward, and then find the right opportunity to attack after the position is dispersed.

Zhao Yi, who had rested for a few days, had already replenished his state.

So two minutes later, he took the initiative to grab the ball.

He didn't care who it was, as long as someone in Everton's backcourt received the ball, he would give enough pressure.

It looked like a headless fly bumping around, without any rules.

Many fans watching the game couldn't understand what the use of this kind of running and pressing was.

It seemed useless except for wasting physical energy.

But only those who really play on the field can feel the pressure of this kind of pressing.

During the live broadcast, it seemed that when the opponent was pressing, it was easy for the opponent to find teammates to pass the ball.

But the gap between the players under pressure and the God's perspective is very large.

As long as you are not careful, you may be stolen directly.

And losing the ball in this position is very fatal.

Aguero, Sterling and De Bruyne in the frontcourt all started to grab the ball everywhere.

Forcing Everton to pass the ball further and further back.

Goalkeeper Joel received the ball and Aguero rushed over quickly.

Unlike Joe Hart, Joel did not clear the ball with a big kick at the first time.

Instead, he passed it with one foot and found Stones who ran to the left side of the penalty area.

As a central defender, Stones did not choose to pass the ball to the midfielder.

Instead, he held the ball directly forward!

After making a cooperation with Barry, he avoided De Bruyne, and then made a precise long pass directly to Lukaku who was pulled to the side. One of

Lukaku's most classic tricks is to explode on the side.

Zabaleta was directly hit by Lukaku and lost his position.

Let Lukaku successfully cut into the inside line.

Kompany's timely defense prevented Lukaku from moving inside.

However, Lukaku passed the ball to the middle.

Barkley followed up and shot the ball!

Otamendi's interference caused the ball to miss the goal.

Less than four minutes after the start of the game, Everton launched a very threatening attack through the connection between Stones and Lukaku.

Barkley held his head, feeling a little annoyed.

The fans in the stands cheered.

They were doing their best to cheer for their home team.

When Manchester City players got the ball, they booed again.

The fans of a team that has been able to confront Liverpool for a hundred years certainly have a deep fan culture.

Manchester City's attack is different from Everton's. It advances slowly. Slowly forward, wait until everyone is in position, and then find favorable opportunities through transmission.

The interlaced running of the frontcourt players, coupled with the back-passing of the periphery players, the football was passed back and forth between Everton's half and the dangerous area.

It was difficult for Everton to grab the ball.

And it was difficult for Manchester City to get a chance in a short time.

After passing the ball many times,

De Bruyne passed the ball to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi tried to break through, but Barry and Besic's defensive positions were very solid.

They all knew Zhao Yi's ability to break through, but as long as the two stood in position at the same time, it would be difficult for Zhao Yi to succeed.

Bang!

Zhao Yi, who was holding the ball, suddenly passed the ball straight when trying to break through.

Passing with the outside of the foot has a huge advantage, which is very concealed.

It is difficult for defensive players to tell whether the player holding the ball is going to break through, continue dribbling, or pass the ball directly.

One kick of the ball went straight through two people, including Mori behind them.

The football entered the penalty area diagonally.

It was not for Aguero, but Sterling.

Sterling started from the wing, his big butt twisted and flew up, stepping on the step to get rid of Baines.

Mori quickly turned around and chased back.

Sterling saw Mori behind him and had no time to adjust. He kicked the ball directly and shot the goal!

Sterling has a very strange characteristic. Once he adjusts after getting the ball, he is almost finished.

But as long as you don't adjust and hit the rhythm, you can usually kick a very terrifying shot.

Joel stretched out his hand in vain, but it was too late to stop it.

The ball violently entered the net!

The fans in the stands were still a little confused.

There was no sign of this goal.

Manchester City was making a seemingly meaningless pass.

After De Bruyne passed the ball to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi looked like he was going to break through, but suddenly he passed the ball.

Sterling kicked it directly and broke the deadlock!

This is a seemingly meaningless run.

Once there is a loophole in the defense, these runs will make sense!
