Chapter 158: A hundred trials

"Blue Moon" played fiercely in the middle today. Facing the Leeds midfielder where Shaq was in charge, many of Manchester City's stars were still not afraid at all. This is the change that Pellegrini brought to Manchester City.

In the 8th minute, Manchester City attacked the middle again, and Bosnian center Dzeko pushed the ball back to Aguero's feet. As soon as the Argentine got the ball, he was squeezed to the ground by a huge force. Fortunately, Aguero reacted quickly and stabbed the ball to the front of the left foot. Dzeko received the ball with just the right running position again.

While supporting his lying on the ground with his left hand, Aguero also looked at Leeds No. 5 who turned around and chased Dzeko with a helpless smile: This Shaq... is such a monster!

In a blink of an eye, Shaq went around to Dzeko's front again. The Bosnia and Herzegovina center stopped helplessly and passed the ball to Krish who was assisting on the left.

After seeing this scene, Aguero, Nasri and others admired Shaq, a young boy. Not only was he not defeated by the siege of three or four Manchester City stars, he was still more courageous in the battle. This is how Shaq, who is called a "monster" and "pervert" can do it. When someone comes up, he doesn't have the energy to block left and right!?

After Krish dribbled the ball on the wing, the Plums rose to the front. This season, the 21-year-old Plums became more and more mature. Not only was they sharper in assists than last season, but they even became more fierce when defending. The tens of millions of pounds Leeds United spent on Croatian right back now seems to be worth the money.

"Bang!"

Krish didn't dare to draw too much, so he quickly passed the ball in. Although Mei was young in front of him, she was also a difficult character. If he was really entangled by him, he might not even have the chance to pass.

"Dong!"

When Portuguese Danny received the ball outside the penalty area on the left, he had already seen the middle and right sides. His teammates were already seen by Leeds United's defensive players. Although the "Youth Guards" are young, they do have the strength of a champion team.

Without any hesitation, Danny fired a long shot with his left foot!

With a "default", the ball finally hit the outside of the left post of the Leeds United goal and bounced out of the baseline...

Ronegan took the ball and did not directly drive the ball to the frontcourt. Instead, he sent it to the right back Metz Fursarico's feet.

Leeds United's tactical style is accomplished by controlling the ball. Everyone should run actively around Shaq, supplemented by Shaq's strong activity ability and large range of activity. The whole team must run, pass, control, and then create a chance to score goals. This is the tactic of the "Young Guards".

But in this game, Leeds United was suppressed by Manchester City from the beginning of the game, and they watched as the game lasted ten minutes. They had not yet played their own rhythm, so it would definitely not work if this continued.

"Ba...b...ba...b...b...b..."

The ball began to be passed at the feet of Leeds players, but only Met, Red, Clegg Dawson, Carruzzo and other defenders were in control. When Shaq ran back to pick up, Aguero, Dzeko, Nasri and others would immediately intercept it. In the end, Ben Parker and Jonny Hausen rushed on the left, and the ball was snatched by Richards from Jonny Hausen again.

"Oh, this game... is really hard to play!"

Simon Grayson sighed helplessly. Eric Black next to him also nodded with consent. They can now see Manchester City's tactical intentions clearly. When attacking, Manchester City wants to use the advantages of personnel to fight against the middle lane, and when defense, they let others ignore it. The main thing is to defend Shaq and try their best to limit Shaq's ability to organize offense.

It was obvious that Simon Grayson could not adjust the team immediately. Leeds United is not at the end of the game. Although Shaq encountered a lot of difficulties on the court, this kid was like a never-tiring machine. When the team defended, he was still very active in running, and Manchester City's offense in the middle was not smooth, but when Leeds United attacked, Shaq was much smaller.

Moreover, Simon Grayson has another concern. He always thinks that Manchester City's main attack in the middle is to transfer people to support Shaq. But once Jonny Hausen or Pifkovski on the right is to pass, Manchester City's two full-backs Krish and Richards may assist more unscrupulously. At that time, the attack power of the "Blue Moon" in the frontcourt will reach a very terrifying level. It is hard to say whether Leeds United can block it.

At present... I can only delay it first.

Simon Grayson himself would not have thought that if he dragged it out, he would just drag it to 20 minutes of the game, the situation of Leeds United actually improved a lot!

After initial discomfort, Shaq quickly regained the feeling of the game. When defending, he retreated a little deeper, which made the connection between him and the back line closer, ensuring the thickness of Leeds United's defense in the middle. Manchester City's mid-range offense could not be made. During the offense, Shaq began to consciously increase his running speed. When touching the ball, he kicked as much as possible and passed the ball out with two kicks. Manchester City was even more struggling when intercepting Shaq.

When the game was 23 minutes old, Shaq received a return pass from the "Beast" on the left side of the center circle. Facing Milner's defense, he suddenly turned around and gave up Kompany who was running back behind him.

When Shaq turned around, although he was facing the defense of both Manchester City captain and Milner, Ben Parker on the left rushed to support him, and Shaq kicked the ball directly to the left.

Leeds United's left offensive system found another opportunity to play at this time. Although the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" are the foundation of the left offensive system, in fact, Leeds United's left offensive still needs the help of the "Beast" Tevez. After the Argentine striker's running and support joined in, this offensive system became even more elusive.

"Bang!"

After Ben Parker dribbled the ball and ran a few steps, Kompany also came to support him. Richards was suppressed by Jonny Hausen, who was under pressure. Nasri's role was reflected in the offensive end. At this time, the Manchester City captain could only make up for defense. But Ben Parker pushed the ball straight to Jonny Hausen's feet in front.

Captain Leeds has a strong breakthrough ability, which is no secret in English football. Richards dared not make any effort when facing Jonny Hausen. After being shaken by Jonny Hausen, he watched the ball pass by Jonny Hausen again to Tevez's feet on the inside.

After receiving the ball, the "Beast" started instantly and drove directly into Manchester City's penalty area. Otamendi hurriedly ran, preparing to block Tevez's shot at any time, but after Tevez ran two steps away, heeled a pass.

"Bang!"

The ball was knocked back by Tevez and outside the left penalty area, and then everyone saw Jonny Hausen appear on the passing route.

"Dangerous! Jonny Hausen!"

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans were watching nervously. Fortunately, Richards had a lot of experience in the game and he also ran to the spot. Jonny Hausen had no chance to take a shot.

However, the tacit understanding between the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" is really not something that is blown out. Although Jonny Hausen cannot complete the shot, he can pass the ball, and Shaq in the middle has followed.

"Shake!"

Captain Leeds shouted and sent the ball to the left side of the top of the penalty area with his left foot!

This position has always been Shaq's most threatening position. Before the game, Manchester City coach Pellegrini also made detailed arrangements for this range. His instructions to Manchester City captains Kompany and Milner were in this position. Once Shaq gets the ball, he must stop it. Even if he uses a foul, it is fine.

But at this moment, Manchester City's defensive attention was completely attracted by the "Beasts" Tevez and Jonny Hausen. Kompany and Milner both ran to their own penalty area without realizing it. When Shaq got the ball this time, no one went to defend him.

And most importantly, Shaq moves very quickly!

"Bang!"

The ball was first stopped in front of Shaq with his right foot arch. And it was not just on the ground, but in the air!

When Shaq's right foot landed, the ball just started to fall from the air, and Shaq's left foot drew the ball at this time!

"Bang!"

The terrifying thing that Shaq can kick high-quality long shots with both left and right feet is fully reflected in this moment!

Receive the ball and shoot the long shot. The two movements were completed in one go. When the ball roared and swirled, it drew an arc and flew towards the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal, the bystanders' sight could hardly keep up!

Although Johart is the national goal of England and knows Shaq's little brother, this time Johart still couldn't react to Shaq's long shot this time. It's okay if the ball is fast, but the ball suddenly flew out from the right side of Kompany with an arc. When Johart's eyes found the ball and wanted to save it, it was too late...

"Swish!"

The ball hit the white ball net hard, and a deep pit was accurately captured by the camera!

"goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After scoring the goal, Shaq raised his fist and roared...

Captain Leeds, Ben Parker, and Tevez all rushed on the first time. They were all participants in this goal, and they felt very proud.

"Simon, the ball is in! The ball is in! We are leading!"
