Chapter 629 Easy victory
"Two to zero!!!! Beautiful!!!!"
"An inside shot from Hazard!! Manchester City are fully open to the left and right!! Two almost identical goals, just the direction of the attack is reversed!! Whether it's Hazard or Griezmann, They are both capable of disrupting Southampton's defence with great individual abilities and City are taking advantage of the individual qualities of the two wingers!!!"
Letkinson applauded City's attack, as did his partner Redknapp.
"Coach Gao Bo's tactics in this game are completely designed around the two wingers, feint one side, after the defense is attracted, move immediately, and the other side is the real killer move!"
"And for such an attacking method, Southampton is really hard to defend, because if they don't focus on the defense, this side of the feint will become the real attacking side!"
"Coach Gao Bo has been in office for more than a month, and this is not the peak state of his team. I am now looking forward to what a powerful team Manchester City will be after they have truly matured!"
"As expected of a European champion coach!!"
The commentators raved about Gao Bo's tactical arrangements, and sometimes, simple is the most effective.
In the stands, Manchester City fans were already singing.
The melody of "Blue Moon" was sung over the Etihad Stadium.
Gao Bo was relieved when he saw the second goal, his team had sealed the victory, he did not think Southampton would be able to score two goals in the next time and still let Manchester City not. goal.
Gao Bo turned around and sat back on the coaching bench after celebrating the goal.
And the next game was as he expected. Southampton basically had no chance. Even if Manchester City took the initiative to slow down the rhythm, it would be difficult for Southampton to grab control of the game.
With two goals in hand, Manchester City's players are confident.
The game time in the first half passed quickly. After forty-five minutes passed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
At halftime, Gao Bo ignored Balotelli, who was sitting in the far corner of the locker room. If he loses this game, Balotelli will undoubtedly be the culprit. Fortunately, the team is strong enough. He scored two goals in the half, helping the team to basically seal the victory of the game.
Gao Bo praised the team's performance in the first half, and for the second half, he asked the team to exert force at the beginning, score another goal as much as possible, and then be able to retreat and play defensive counterattacks with peace of mind.
There are Hazard and Griezmann in front, and Manchester City's counterattack is equally powerful.
On the Southampton side, Atkins is boosting the morale of the Southampton players.
If Manchester City hadn't been sent off, maybe Atkins would have resigned. Anyway, the away game against Manchester City was not the planned game. Southampton wanted to avoid relegation, and they couldn't expect to win these league title contenders. Points, the mutual record between the relegation teams is the most important.
But now Manchester City have one less player, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Southampton. Atkins didn't want to miss the opportunity.
By the second half, Atkins showed his determination!
Before the players from both sides returned to the field, Southampton was about to make a substitution, and Southampton's center Lambert stood on the sidelines.
Gao Bo was still a little emotional when he saw Lambert.
When he was coaching Luton, he still wanted to get Lambert, because he knew at that time that the player who played in the First Division was fully capable of standing in the Premier League in the future.
However, this forward who relies on height, strength and headers, and relies on impact to gain a foothold in the Premier League, obviously does not meet the requirements of a wealthy team, but if he wants to play in some low-level league teams with simple and rude ways of playing, Lambert's characteristics But there is room to play.
"Southampton was ready to make substitutions at the beginning of the second half. Atkins looked difficult to accept that he was easily beaten by his opponent when he played one more player early on!"
Letkinson said with a smile.
"But two goals behind, Southampton's chances of catching up are very small. Hazard and Griezmann's pressure on the defense is too strong, and it will be difficult for Southampton to defend one of them. , let alone two people on the court at the same time." Redknapp shook his head and said.
He is an expert, and he naturally knows that the two most important fists in Manchester City are Hazard and Griezmann. When these two fists are played alone, maybe Southampton can parry, but when these two fists are together. When it comes to exerting force, Southampton can only care about one thing and lose another.
Facts have proved that even putting on a high center forward has not produced any good results for Southampton's offense.
Manchester City's defensive line is very tightly organized, which is the characteristic of Gao Bo's team. It is difficult for Southampton to pass the ball to the front through the organization of the backcourt and midfield, so they adopted a very simple and rude method- - Long pass straight from the back!
The effect of the long pass and dipping is naturally not ideal, and they have to face the counterattack after Manchester City steals the ball.
Not long after the start of the second half, Hazard drove straight in after counterattack. When facing the goalkeeper, he kicked the ball on the post and almost scored a brace.
However, the Atkins and Southampton fans were not relieved yet, and Griezmann had another chance to fight back.
Griezmann chose a lob when facing the goalkeeper. This time Southampton's goalkeeper Davies performed very well. He reached out and pushed the ball over the crossbar.
The Southampton fans had just let go of their hearts a little, and the next corner kick made them completely give up.
Eriksen took a corner kick from the right, and it was Kolarov who jumped high in the penalty area!
Kompany in the middle is a player that Southampton focuses on guarding against, but Eriksson just sent the ball to the back.
Kolarov nodded after the ball, this time Davis had nothing to do.
The football was smashed into the goal!
Manchester City took a three-to-zero lead.
After taking the lead again, Gao Bo immediately made a substitution adjustment.
He played Milner and replaced Hazard.
To maintain the defensive intensity of the midfield, just leave a Griezmann in front.
Hazard is not dissatisfied with being substituted, because he also knows that now the team has one less player, and it is the most important thing to keep the victory no matter what.
Southampton didn't get much chance in the next game either.
The result of the final game was 3-0, Manchester City won the first round of the Premier League of the new season. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
