Chapter 81 The number one defender in football!

"Calm down, don't panic!"

Although he was one goal behind in the away game, "Chilean Engineer" Pellegrini was still in command. He stretched out his hands and pressed them slightly to convey his calmness to the players on the field.

This is a 180-minute game over two rounds, leaving plenty of time for Manchester City, so there is no need to panic.

Feeling the calmness of the head coach, the players quickly regained their composure and devoted themselves to the counterattack.

After all, they are also a championship team that has experienced a last-minute countdown, and conceding a goal is not the end of the world!

Anyway... Kompany has been injured this season, and their defense will concede the ball in almost every game. Coupled with the "natural colander" Joe Hart, Manchester City and the fans have long been accustomed to conceding goals!

If you want to do well in the Premier League, all you need to do is score more goals than you concede!

Just 5 minutes later, Yaya Toure stretched out his long legs to intercept Vizo's through pass, and then split the ball to the left. Sterling twisted his butt and easily dribbled the ball past Mustafi.

Overtaking, and then hitting the goal with a powerful shot!

His speed was so fast that before goalkeeper Alves even had time to block the near corner, he heard a "swish" sound, and Sterling's shot flew into the stands...

Sterling, who was lying on the ground, punched the turf, then turned over and stood up, twisting his butt and leaving the penalty area. On the face of this British winger worth 49 million pounds, there was not much annoyance, but a trace of confusion.

of smile.

Seeing Sterling's smile, Zhan Jun was also infected and became happy:

"That happy boy, joy boy, he's back!"

Zhang Lu couldn't help but shake his head:

"Obviously he didn't score a goal, but why is he so happy? Hehe, hehe~~"

In the 11th minute, Yaya Toure made a diagonal pass to the right. David Silva unexpectedly penetrated the defense line composed of Vizzo and Gaya and found Aguero lurking in the penalty area.

He shot straight through the goal.

Unfortunately, before Akun started celebrating, he saw the linesman raise his flag, indicating that he was already half shoulder offside before catching the ball, and the goal was invalidated.

Under Aguero's annoyed expression, the stands of the Mestalla stadium gave warm applause to the linesman for his insight, encouraging him to keep up his efforts and keep working hard.

This game did not turn into a one-sided half-time exercise, but instead the two sides exchanged offense and defense - after all, Manchester City is still far from reaching its peak state, and they cannot completely suppress Valencia like Barcelona.

In the 14th minute, Valencia's offensive advanced into the 20-meter area of Manchester City. Rodrigo pulled the ball from the left wing and cut in and sent a through ball. Lee Polo forced his speed to break into the penalty area. He wanted to grab a shot in front of the goal, but was blocked.

Kompany made a tackle in advance and missed a great opportunity!

Joe Hart, who broke out in a cold sweat, quickly bent down and wanted to personally pull up the hero of the rescue, but the old captain of Blue Moon only raised his leg and couldn't help but frown!

He tried twice, but in the end he collapsed helplessly in his own penalty area!

"Kompany is injured again?!"

Zhan Jun's mood was a little complicated.

As a commentator, he doesn't like to see players getting injured.

Zhang Lu also shook his head repeatedly:

"His age should have been the prime age for a defender, but he suffered too many injuries! It reminds me of that... Yes, Vermaelen!"

Zhan Jun was stunned for a moment:

"Vermaelen and Kompany... they are both the main defenders of the Belgian national team! If there were no injuries, the European Red Devils' lineup would be considered the best in the world!"

Seeing the painful look on the team captain's face, Pellegrini looked up to the sky and sighed!

Nuno was only excited for a second and regained his composure before the camera turned around...

Then he leaned into Pedro's ear and kept talking:

"I've told you a long time ago that Kompany is a glass man now, and he has just recovered from injury. As long as we focus on attacking his side, his physical fitness will not be able to support him through such a high-intensity game.

Contest!"

Pedro was convinced by his targeted arrangements:

"Yes, yes, Nuno, you are a master tactician and a football genius!"

Nuno, who heard the flattery, rubbed his bald head contentedly, then patted his belly and murmured to himself:

"Don't tell me, I really feel that my tactical level has improved by leaps and bounds this season!"

"Perhaps... I've finally passed the bottleneck period and it's time to make more progress!"

Kompany's premature retirement from injury has cast an ominous shadow over the entire Manchester City team.

Pellegrini hesitated for half a minute between the two central defender substitutes - Mangala and Demichelis, and finally chose the young and strong Mangala.

Demichelis was not disappointed at all, and even breathed a sigh of relief.

He is already 36 years old, and his physical fitness has almost dropped off a cliff. If he is forced to compete with young guys in their early 20s for speed and jumping, he will definitely die in a very ugly way!

[I’m not afraid of Lee Polo, I’m just thinking about the overall situation of the team!]

And the Li Polo in his mouth was looking at Otamendi at the moment, showing a predator's smile:

"Hey bro, it's your turn next!"

"I told you I would blow you up!"

Otamendi swallowed and emboldened himself:

"Who do you think you are? I'm the number one defender in football!"

Just a few months ago, he joined Manchester City from Valencia for 45 million euros, which indeed set a transfer record for a defender in football at the time. To be called "the first defender" is barely justified. This record

It was not until a few years later that Van Dijk and Maguire broke...

Li Polo looked at him sideways, as if appreciating a beast that had fallen into a trap:

"Yes, yes, let me, who is worth 3.2 million euros, learn some experience from you, the number one defender in football!"

Otamendi's throat trembled violently, and his eyes became fierce:

"I'm afraid you're not a man!"

In the 18th minute, Aguero personally brought the ball to the attack. Mustafi successfully tackled the ball, but he poked the ball in front of Yaya Toure who was in the back position. Toure threw away his two long legs and followed him three steps later.

If it's rounded, it's a long shot!

"Bang!"

Alves chose his position well. He pushed the ball out of the penalty area with a side dive and didn't even leave Manchester City with a corner kick!

Right back Cancelo completed a big-footed clearance. After taking a look at the passing route, Lee Polo turned around and started to accelerate.

Feguli and Rodrigo flew together on both wings, but Fei Tianwang's speed was obviously better. In less than three seconds, he got rid of all his opponents and teammates, grabbed the football back before it flew out of the sideline, and then continued to play the ball.

Bottom.

"Quick counterattack from Valencia!"

Zhan Jun's eyes stared at the live broadcast screen without blinking:

"Three against two! Valencia is not without a chance!"

The two full-backs in Manchester City's formation, Kolarov and Zabaleta, are both over 30 years old. They just followed the overall formation and pressed forward. It is impossible to return to the defensive position in a short time, not to mention...

...Feguli is faster than Bell!

Fei Tianwang is indeed worthy of the name of "the fastest horse in La Liga". Before Lee Polo even stepped into the penalty area, he saw the big man on the wing making a pass!

【Eagle Eye!】

Li Polo turned on the plug-in without saying a word, and a clear trajectory immediately emerged in his mind.

He first took two steps towards the left rib, driving Otamendi and Mangala to move as a whole, then suddenly turned around and jumped out of the circle surrounded by the two of them!

With a "swish" sound, Feguli's cross flew into the penalty area!

Li Polo, who had already shaken off the defender, found the landing point without even jumping up!

He even lowered his head slightly and flicked the ball!

"Hey~"

Joe Hart subconsciously pounced toward the near post, and his finger accidentally touched the ball!

But it was just a collision. The ball changed its direction slightly, but it still hit the net behind him!

2:0, Lee Polo used his iconic header to score another victory for Valencia!

【Negative emotions from Joe Hart, 10!】

【Otamendi,20!】

【Manquillo,10!】

【Pellegrini, 20!】

On the sidelines, Manchester City coach Pellegrini finally no longer looked relaxed.
