Chapter 030 Perfect Strike
The 2-0 lead and the entire first half of the game made Manchester City a little careless. In their eyes, West Ham United no longer poses a threat to them and it is difficult to take their opponents to heart.
Otherwise, Manchester City is a team with a nerve knife, a team with a large psychological ups and downs, not a mature team. Manchester City is obviously not a relatively mature team.
West Ham United, which had counterattacked wildly at the beginning of the second half, instantly revealed strong combat power. In fact, their offense has always been good. In the first round of the league, when West Ham United faced Vigan Sports at home, they were behind zero to one at the beginning of the second half, and they scored two goals in a row within ten minutes to reverse the game two to one.
Manchester City's absent-mindedness gives West Ham a chance!
At 53 minutes of the game, West Ham United midfielder Etherington's long shot was blocked by Kompany with his calf and went out of the baseline. West Ham United's corner kick.
Scott Parker took a corner kick, and Dunn was defeated by West Ham United's high center forward Carlton Cole while competing for the header. However, Kohl's header angle was too straight and was subconsciously blocked by Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. Zabaleta headed the ball out of the penalty area again. However, his clearance was not far enough and was obtained by West Ham United midfielder Noble. Noble passed the ball to the wing, and Behrami scored the ball into the penalty area again. This time, West Ham United's highest high center forward Carlton Cole sent a beautiful turn and headed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart really had no choice but to do this ball.
The game ended in 53 minutes, and Carlton Cole's goal scored a point for West Ham United.
The originally happy Manchester City fans were silent in an instant. In the huge Manchester Municipal Stadium, Manchester City fans seemed to be stunned by the goal of West Ham United. For a moment, the entire stadium only heard the West Ham United fans in the stands of the visiting team fans celebrating the goal wildly. They did not expect that in the first half, West Ham United, which had been passively beaten, could actually expose such combat effectiveness at the beginning of the second half and score, and applause suddenly sounded. This goal also boosted the morale of West Ham United fans and players.
They seemed to see hope!
However, West Ham United forgot that their strength is inferior to Manchester City. Now that they are so crazy and overwhelming, they have exposed more and more loopholes. Once Manchester City seizes the opportunity, they will lose the ball again.
Is there such a master in Manchester City who is good at seizing opportunities? The answer is obvious.
While West Ham United players were celebrating the goal, Zhang Yang clapped his hands hard in front and brought several Manchester City players to a brief meeting.
"No one wants to concede the ball just now." Zhang Yang said first, "Next, West Ham United will definitely launch a large-scale attack again."
"That's right." Wright Phillips echoed.
The others nodded as well.
"So, next, the pressure on the defense line will be greater, but as long as we can seize the opportunity and once we control the ball, we will attack quickly, which is our opportunity." Zhang Yang said.
"That's right." Ellano thought for a while and said, "What we need for counterattack is speed."
Several players on the three lines analyzed the situation at this time in a few words and made a decision. In fact, when the situation occurs on the court, the players on the court can make changes based on the real-time situation. This is the key to whether a team on the crossbar is mature and whether they have the ability to fight tough battles.
Zhang Yang first led the team to "she hold a small meeting". He didn't think so much. He was just more responsible than before. Moreover, when he was in Milan, once such a situation occurred, Pirlo would take the initiative to lead everyone to a small meeting. At this time, Zhang Yang was in Manchester City, and he felt that he should do something, because, if Pirlo was Milan's brain, Zhang Yang felt that he was Manchester City's heart and had to bear the responsibility of the "heart". He did this just out of this subconscious, but it was precisely because of the subconscious action that he cherished it.
Just two minutes after West Ham United scored.
Kompany successfully intercepted the ball from Etherington's feet. He did not waste time, but directly passed the football to Modric in front.
"Manchester City's quick counterattack!"
When Modric stopped the ball, there were only three West Ham United defenders in front of him. Two Manchester City strikers Zhang Yang and Sturric had already come to pick him up, and Ellano also came to help.
In order to score again, West Ham United had to put a big push. At this time, as Zhang Yang and the others analyzed just now, Manchester City had more opportunities to counterattack, and in counterattack attack, the most important thing is not ball control, but speed.
After receiving the ball, Modric did not stay for much, but passed the ball horizontally. Elano, who came to pick up the ball, received the ball and then divided the ball to Sabaleta who quickly inserted it on the side.
Just now, West Ham United's right back Etherington rushed up to participate in the attack and was intercepted by Kompany. At this time, Etherington had not had time to return to defense.
Sabaleta is not polite either. After receiving the ball, he cut inside and went into the penalty area!
West Ham United's central defender was originally defending Zhang Yang and Sturridge, and they thought Manchester City would pass the ball to Zhang Yang. Unexpectedly, after Sabaretta received the ball, he would cut inside, which shocked both Davenport and Upson.
After rushing to score, Sabaleta made a move to shoot, and Davenport quickly flew to block the ball, but passed the ball horizontally...
"Hell-" Upson saw it clearly. The target of this pass was Zhang Yang, and he rushed up to intercept it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang did not stop the ball on the ball line, but pulled the ball and turned around. He didn't even look at the goal or the goalkeeper, and shot directly!
The football flew straight towards the goal. West Ham United goalkeeper Green didn't expect Zhang Yang to shoot directly. He subconsciously flew to save. However, facing such a sudden shot, and the force was extremely strong. Although the angle was not too tricky, the victory was fast enough. No matter how powerful the goalkeeper was, he could do nothing at this time...
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" Eddie Gray, the ace commentator of Sky TV, jumped up from his seat, and a loud GOAL sound was made in his mouth!
Zhang Yang's shot was too sudden and too decisive. At that time, many people thought that Zhang Yang would seek to continue to break through after receiving the ball, or pass the ball to Sturridge, who was temporarily unguarded on the other side. However, who could have thought that he would pull the ball and turn and shoot! The football almost brushed the cheek of Upson who came up to intercept it, and a non-obvious drop was very fast, just like a white light flashing and entering the net!
The whole process was too sudden!
Whether it was Manchester City fans, West Ham United fans, or even Manchester City players on the court, especially Sturridge, who was preparing to receive the ball pass, he was even more shocked at this time. Everyone saw the trembling of the ball net, and then heard the effective whistle of the goal, and realized that the ball was just in the game!
How wonderful!
How suddenly!
Such a goal was born!
Also surprised were West Ham United coach Kubishley on the sidelines, and West Ham United players who were desperately returning to defense on the court. At this moment, they were staring blankly at their goal. There was a football spinning and rubbing against the net.
At this moment, Reinkell's high-pitched voice also sounded: "The ball is in! It is in! Zhang Yang's goal! Although we may need to watch the replay to truly realize the exquisiteness of this goal, although the goal came so surprisingly and suddenly, Zhang Yang really scored! It was just a goal that all of us could not imagine! Let's take a look at the goal - his shot - it was too sudden - pull the ball and turn around, shoot, all the actions were completed in one go. Upson's robbery did not have any impact on him at all, but seemed to block the sight of goalkeeper Green-"
At this time, after the goal came, about a few seconds after a stagnation, huge cheers erupted from the stands at Manchester Municipal Stadium.
To be honest, after West Ham United scored a goal, Manchester City fans were more or less worried. They really didn't expect that their team would immediately expand the score again. The goal would come so smoothly. After just two minutes of the opponent's goal, the team expanded its lead again!
On the court, the first thing he realized was not Zhang Yang's partner Sturric, but Modric. After passing the ball, he rushed forward and looked at the situation ahead. He knew that Zhang Yang was the core of the team, so he looked at Zhang Yang more, which also made him the player on the court who could see the most clearly about this goal!
It's hard to say how technical Zhang Yang's goal is. This is not the kind of goal that has passed several players in a row. However, Zhang Yang's goal, especially the entire shooting process, is simply amazing!
Modric was also amazed in his heart. Such a shot is absolutely perfect, it is simply perfect. If anyone dares to say a word, he dares to fight the opponent desperately! Such a smooth and freehand shot like mercury pouring down the ground is not perfect, and the shot is called perfect?!
Modric first reacted. He rushed up and threw Zhang Yang, who was still squeaking up his right arm, enjoying the awesome expressions of everyone, shouting, "Zhang, so handsome, this shot is so perfect! I love you so much!"
The latter fell to the ground and struggled desperately, "...Luca, you guys, destroy my cool look..." However, resistance was proven to be futile, because more and more players ran over, pressed up, and the one lying down below made an unwilling whine... "All up, get out of here... do you want to press... to death?!"
Chapter completed!
