Chi Meiya
Chapter 148 Charging and Bumping
Last time, they hadn't paid much attention to his position, almost leading to a goal.
If Sommer hadn't made another divine save, the defender's marking error would have been magnified infinitely.
Aguero stood further back, waiting for a chance to steal a goal.
De Bruyne was at the near post, also closely guarded.
The best option was to continue lofting the ball into the penalty area and creating chaos.
This time, Zhao Gang raised his hand, signaling his teammates to get ready.
All the players looked at Zhao Gang, waiting for the trajectory of the football.
The football flew out instantly, still with a strong spin.
The characteristic of a rabona is that the spin is fast, and the route is very strange. Of course, it is also very likely that problems will occur and the ball will fly out of bounds.
Sommer concentrated, standing at the near post, he knew from the route of the ball that it was still aiming for the far post!
Gundogan tried his best to push away the defender and charged forward.
Aguero also rushed into the penalty area from the edge of the box, trying to find the landing point of the ball.
The trajectory of the football rushed towards the far post, Sommer still didn't dare to attack casually, his stature was not tall, once he missed the ball, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, this time the defender's marking was very tight, and Aguero's position was also restricted by the defender who arrived.
Sommer watched the football spin, the line flying outside the far post, the point of this ball was still a bit outrageous.
The disadvantage of the rabona is that the line can’t be contained, and it will fly out, and no one can grab the ball.
Sommer looked up, watching the trajectory of the football, his neck turning half a circle.
Suddenly, Sommer leaped into the air, like Superman, and stretched out his left hand with all his strength!
Swish!
Bang!
Sommer landed on the ground, turned his head, and looked in disbelief at the football that had fallen into the net.
The spinning football actually changed direction in the air. The ball, which should have slid out of the goalpost, hit the post and smashed directly into the net!
His stature was not tall enough, and although his reaction was quick, he didn't have time to save it!
"Wow!!
Goal! The ball went directly in!!
A corner kick, a direct goal from a zero-degree angle!
The route of this ball made Sommer's judgment a bit of a mistake!
Manchester City finally took the lead away after besieging Borussia Monchengladbach for forty-three minutes!
The super god Sommer made Manchester City's attacking group return without success again and again. Zhao Gang, it has to be Zhao Gang!
Faced with this corner kick with a very strange arc, Sommer had no choice but to sigh!
Sommer has done his best, but he still couldn't stop it, he couldn't stop this amazing curve ball!"
Whoa!!!
The Manchester City fans who traveled with the team, only a little over a thousand people, burst into violent cheers after seeing this goal.
In a bar in Manchester, the fans' blood was ignited, they clenched their fists and roared, and glasses shattered all over the floor.
For nearly half the game, Manchester City attacked again and again without success, and the fans waited attentively again and again, only to be disappointed again and again.
This time, it finally went in!
"Beautiful!! Great, Zhao Gang!!"
"Too damn handsome, this footwork! Sommer is a super god, but it's no use!"
"Too outrageous, there is such an arc, watching it fly out, it actually hit the post! What kind of immortal footwork is this?"
"Just turned nineteen, how awesome will he be in the future???"
Seeing the goal, Zhao Gang turned his head and rushed towards the away stand.
Although Borussia Park was all black and white, there was still a small group of blue, shouting Zhao Gang's name like crazy.
Although the sound was not as loud and terrifying as the Etihad, it still made Zhao Gang happy.
"Zhao is very excited. It's rare to see him celebrate with such passion. I don't know if it's because of his first Champions League goal or something else." Henry looked at Zhao Gang waving his fists and jumping all the way, and the teammates who came to celebrate couldn't keep up, which was indeed a bit abnormal.
At Old Trafford, at the Etihad, and at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, he had never seen him so enthusiastic.
A Champions League goal shouldn't be like this, right?
Manchester City's teammates finally surrounded him.
"My God! What other tricks do you have up your sleeve??"
"Can this kind of ball be kicked in directly?"
The teammates who had been waiting for a cooperation in the penalty area would never have thought that Zhao Gang would directly spin this ball in!
"The first goal in the Champions League, Zhao Gang's first goal in the Champions League!
It is also the first Champions League goal for a male football player from Dragon Country!
When he made his Champions League debut, he had already created a record for male football players from Dragon Country. This goal once again created a record!
This is a very, very beautiful start, we really hope that this is just the beginning!"
Standing on the goal line, Sommer touched his face, then crossed his hips helplessly.
If his wingspan was ten centimeters longer, he should have been able to touch the ball, what a pity.
This ball was beyond his expectations.
Very beautiful, but there was a bit of luck involved.
It is impossible for him to kick out this kind of arc every time.
Borussia Monchengladbach's players stood in the center circle.
Losing the ball is of course the worst thing, but the silver lining is that the goal was scored before the end of the first half. They had worked so hard to defend for the first half, and they were almost unable to hold on. It was a good time to adjust their condition during the break.
If this had been scored near the end of the game, it would have been a desperate situation.
The center circle kicked off, and Fabian received the ball.
Zhao Gang, who had just scored a goal, was a little excited and quickly went to press.
Moreover, his physical condition has also improved, and it is not a big problem to maintain a good state for the entire game.
Although it was difficult to steal the ball, it still interfered with Fabian's pass, making it impossible for him to cooperate comfortably with his teammates.
Fabian protected the ball, and the two were entangled together. Fabian could clearly feel that Zhao Gang's physical confrontation and pressure made him extremely uncomfortable.
As long as Manchester City had someone to cooperate with, he was likely to make a mistake.
So Fabian quickly pushed the ball out with his back, allowing Dahoud, who was facing the goal and didn't need to turn around, to organize the attack.
As soon as Dahoud received the ball, Zhao Gang swung his long legs and rushed over again.
In Manchester City, Zhao Gang has always been detached from Guardiola's defense system, which has disadvantages and advantages.
The advantage is that he doesn't need to pay attention to his defensive area all the time, he can run around and put pressure on his opponents everywhere.
When Dahoud wanted to pass the ball back to Fabian again, Gundogan had already gone to press him, and he didn't dare to pass the ball at all.
After observing the situation on the field, Dahoud did not pass the ball, but dribbled the ball directly, trying to break through.
He accelerated and started, shifting his center of gravity, seemingly preparing to try to go from the left, and then suddenly changed direction, breaking through to the right!
Zhao Gang was stunned there, lifted his leg a little, before his center of gravity could shift, Dahoud came back again.
Dahoud stared at Zhao Gang standing in front of him.
Hey, awesome.
He doesn't fall for feints, an expert!
Dahoud changed his center of gravity again, and as soon as he started, Zhao Gang subconsciously lifted his leg a little, and was directly passed by Dahoud!
The entire Borussia Park was instantly ignited.
Dahoud's wonderful performance finally gave Borussia Monchengladbach, which had been lackluster, a highlight.
He passed Manchester City's midfield core!
He passed the Dragon Country teenager who had scored a fatal blow!
Cheers and support resounded throughout the stadium!
Dahoud's confidence soared, he didn't realize his breakthrough was so powerful!
Manchester City's defense is nothing more than this!
"Dahoud! A wonderful dribble, still continuing! Facing Gundogan, continuous changes of direction, pass him, pass him!!"
Gundogan kept retreating, creating distance, waiting for his teammates to support him.
And Borussia Monchengladbach's players kept pressing forward, waiting for Dahoud's pass.
Dahoud went all the way into the hinterland, preparing to advance to the dangerous area. He took the ball and Fernandinho poked the ball away with one foot.
Dahoud was stunned for a moment, this defense, how did the intensity of this defense suddenly increase?
Zabaleta took the ball away along the way. When Dahoud turned around to counter-attack, he had run several steps away.
Borussia Monchengladbach's players quickly retreated as soon as they saw Dahoud's mistake.
Zabaleta found Zhao Gang who had been passed. Zhao Gang was in the center, and Silva had already run to the right to cut in.
This kind of positional change is very common in Manchester City.
Dominguez retreated while keeping a close eye on Zhao Gang.
He knew that Zhao Gang's breakthrough was very strong, and he did not rashly step up to steal the ball.
Zhao Gang's speed is not fast enough, this weakness has long been known to his opponents.
So as long as he keeps a little distance, Zhao Gang has no chance to complete a breakthrough.
Zhao Gang took the ball and rushed to the left. Dominguez instantly judged that Zhao Gang wanted to shake his center of gravity, so Dominguez took a small step back and did not fall for the feint.
As a result, Zhao Gang exerted force under his feet and kicked the ball two or three meters away, and suddenly accelerated, instantly passing Dominguez.
When Dominguez reacted, he could only see Zhao Gang's back.
Isn't he not fast enough?
Dominguez didn't have time to complain, and quickly chased back.
Zhao Gang moved forward, caught up with the football in two steps, and Christensen in front was about to intercept him head-on. Zhao Gang poked the ball with his left foot, and the football went directly behind him.
Then there was another acceleration sprint. Christensen wanted to block Zhao Gang with his body. Doing so would definitely be a foul, but he didn't have time to turn around and chase the ball!
But Zhao Gang had already strode forward and rammed straight, knocking Christensen, who was standing unsteadily, to the ground!
"Oh my god!!!" Henry stood up. Was this the elegant and calm Zhao?
This guy broke through two lines of defense like a beast!
Although Zhao Gang knocked Christensen over, he was still disturbed and staggered forward a few steps, controlling the football.
The referee's whistle had already been placed in his mouth, but he finally didn't blow it.
Advantage to the attack!
Go!
Dominguez used all his strength and rushed towards Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang had been interfered with. According to the coach's previous estimate, Dominguez should be able to catch up later! But he was horrified to find that the black figure controlled the football and ran again!
And getting further and further away!
"Zhao Gang, continuous breakthrough, very fast! Throwing off Dominguez and Christensen!"
"Wendt's speed is also very fast, and he is approaching desperately! Cobb intercepts head-on, a double-team!!"
At this time, Zhao Gang had rushed to the dangerous area and was about to rush into the penalty area. Aguero and David Silva were already in offside positions and could not choose to pass the ball.
In a flash of lightning, Zhao Gang raised his left leg hard, and Wendt leaped into the air, sliding along the lawn.
Seeing that Zhao Gang didn't shoot, Cobb rushed over immediately, preparing to steal the ball.
Zhao Gang unloaded the power with his left foot and pushed it with the outside of his foot, breaking through directly from the left!
Cobb tried his best to lean over and hold Zhao Gang firmly, he couldn't let him pass any further, if he passed, it would be a one-on-one!
"Zhao Gang is still dribbling, still dribbling!!"
Along the left side of the penalty area line, all the way to the baseline, Cobb used all his strength but was still squeezed out of space by Zhao Gang.
Center!
"Aguero in the center is being marked very closely, can this ball be passed over?"
Zhao Gang, who had made room, raised his left foot, and Cobb slid to the ground, trying to block him.
When he slid past, his heart turned cold.
Zhao Gang didn't pass the ball, it was another fake move!
Wendt, who had gotten up, threw his arms and rushed over.
Sommer on the goal line opened his arms, facing Zhao Gang.
Bang!
The football flew out, and Wendt also flew up, but the ball was too fast and he didn't touch it.
Sommer's first reaction was to quickly go to the ground to prevent being hit with a low shot, while opening his arms to maximize the defensive area!
Boom!
The entire net shook violently!
Full of power, the route was extremely high, and the football hit the top of the net like a rocket, and bounced heavily to the ground!
"The ball went in again!!"
"In the final stage of stoppage time, Zhao Gang received a pass from Zabaleta, and continuously got rid of four defenders, shaking down two defenders, Cobb, Wendt, have become the background board for this goal!
Christensen was directly knocked over by Zhao Gang who was dribbling at high speed...
He is only nineteen years old!"
Before the game started, no one thought that Borussia Monchengladbach would have almost no power to fight back and would be kicked by Manchester City.
Seeing the progress of the game, no one thought that Borussia Monchengladbach could hold on for more than forty minutes under this situation.
Even more, no one would have thought that Borussia Monchengladbach would suddenly collapse before the end of the first half!
Guardiola blinked his eyes, and he hadn't recovered yet.
If it was Sterling, flying all the way, breaking through and shooting, he could understand.
This is Zhao Gang.
When did he have such a fast starting speed?
In the initial breakthrough, there were almost no fancy moves, and he directly used his speed to get rid of two people.
Finally, in the penalty area, he began to show his foot skills and powerful confidence.
The same move, exerting force, unloading force, and pushing the ball, made the two defenders spin around.
Guardiola covered his big bald head.
Still can't believe it.
"Oh my god..." Henry looked at the live broadcast, Zhao Gang's first step was so fast that Borussia Monchengladbach's players couldn't keep up at all.
The speed of dribbling is also difficult to catch up.
"Is this the Zhao that everyone said has poor headers and slow speed???"
"The starting speed, the dribbling speed, although it's a bit worse than me, you can't describe it as slow, right??" Henry looked at the young beast, breaking through, confronting, faking moves, violent shots, it was simply unstoppable!
Looking at Manchester City's players celebrating wildly on the field, Borussia Monchengladbach's fans were stunned.
Just now, Dahoud broke through and passed Zhao Gang, a very exciting and morale-boosting breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, the guy who was passed like a piece of wood attacked Borussia Monchengladbach's penalty area?
The cheering and support lasted for less than two minutes. We were immersed in the joy that Dahoud dared to make moves and broke through successfully, and he had already killed us at our doorstep??
How can we accept this??
Cobb and Wendt were lying there, panting, looking at the sky, not wanting to get up.
They were made to spin around.
Christensen and Dominguez looked at each other blankly.
This is the Zhao Gang with slow speed that the coach said.
His passes are difficult to defend, and require multiple players to double-team.
But his breakthrough, as long as you keep a certain distance and don't be deceived by his fake moves, it is difficult for him to break through successfully.
It is difficult for him to use speed to pass defenders.
It's hard to break through with speed?
There was no fake move at all, he directly ate the defender raw with speed, you tell me it is difficult for him to break through with speed?
You can't pull him, and you can't bump into him, what should you do?
