Chapter 466 Losing, not losing!
Chapter 466 If you lose, you won’t lose!
Haaland, who was at the forefront of Manchester City, was stunned after seeing Yang Xiaozhuang's goal... Can the ball still score like this?
Haaland is a very efficient center striker, but among the various goals he scored, there is really no such thing as Yang Xiaozhuang. He either scores goals by relying on his physical advantage or defeats his opponent in high-speed sports with his own speed and powerful impact.
But... Yang Xiaozhuang's goal just now simply reflects "small, coincidence" to the extreme!
It was just a perfect turn and backward run, and then the teammate passed the ball over and sent the ball into the goal with one kick. The ball went in... It looked really simple!
In the past, Haaland looked down on such goals. He thought that goals... they should have momentum, difficulty, impact, and aesthetics!
But this time, after seeing Yang Xiaozhuang's goal, Haaland was quite touched. His agent Raiola told him early in the morning that after arriving in Manchester, he could study hard from his predecessor, China Yang, see how Manchester United's "King" played football, and wonder why China Yang can score so many goals every season.
Haaland had shown respect for Yang Xiaozhuang before, but in fact he didn't think so. He felt that he was not the same center as Yang in China, and there was no need to learn anything from the other party. As long as he could form a tacit understanding with Manchester City's teammates and be familiar with Guardiola's tactics, he could score continuously in the Premier League.
After joining Manchester City, Haaland's performance was really amazing. After joining Manchester City, he has played 12 times in various competitions, made a substitute once, scored 16 goals!
The efficiency of more than 1.2 goals per game made Haaland feel that he has now become the world's top center, and he is confident that he can continue to improve!
In today's "Manchester City derby", Haaland also saw before the game that his team really wanted to win this game. He also wanted to score a few more goals when facing Manchester United directly to prove that he was better than Chinese Yang, at least... not worse than Chinese Yang!
But after the game started, Haaland found that he only had one shot, let alone scoring goals. Under Varane's tight defense, the Norwegian center actually didn't get any advantage.
On the other hand, Haaland is still very clear about how strong Laporte and Stones are, and Tierney and Bellerin are also the world's top full-backs. Manchester City's defense line... is really strong!
And even before the game, head coach Guardiola repeatedly emphasized that the team's defense must regard China Yang as the primary defensive target!
But even so, Manchester United's "King" still scored!
This person is...strong!
It's really amazing!
At this time, Haaland was really convinced by Yang Xiaozhuang, a competitor with a high goal rate. She obviously looked much less physically than her. Even though Yang Xiaozhuang was very fast, in Haaland's view, Yang's ability to confrontation is really much worse than that of himself. If he lacks enough confrontation on the football field, it should have a great impact on efficiency. However, Manchester United's "king" has reached a height that others cannot reach.
Such an opponent... is the real opponent!
No wonder Raiola made himself aim at China Yang first. It seems that the other party is really stronger than him!
However, this is temporary!
Haaland firmly believes that he will definitely be stronger than Chinese Yang in the future.
On the side of Manchester City, Guardiola was thinking about how to adjust during the halftime break so that his team could catch up with the score, but as the first half was about to end, the storm suddenly broke out again on the court!
At 44 minutes, the first half was about to end, Yang Xiaozhuang suddenly ran to the right to meet Andreas Pereira's pass, and after receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball and cut in to the middle.
During the process of dribbling inward cutting, Yang Xiaozhuang was still making fake moves to rush into Manchester City's penalty area, which made Manchester City's defensive players unable to even stop him from dribbling. They could only keep guarding against him really rushing forward. Everyone understood that once Manchester United's "King" dribbles into their own penalty area... it would be a disaster!
But just as Yang Xiaozhuang dribbled the ball horizontally and touched the top of the arc, he suddenly pulled the ball into the penalty area on the left of Manchester City during the run... Martial appeared at the landing point of the ball!
Bang!
Martial, who was running, stopped the ball lightly and stopped the ball more than a meter away in front of him. But just when he wanted to rush up and continue dribbling, Bellerin, who ran up from the side, had already stretched his foot in front of his legs. When Martial took another step forward... he was tripped directly!
"Beep————”
The referee immediately blew the whistle and pointed at the free throw point...the penalty kick!
After Bellerin got up, he shook his head helplessly and reached out to Ramatial... He really didn't intend to foul. In fact, when he was doing the move, he made a judgment that Martial would stop the ball steadily, but he didn't expect that Martial would choose to continue to approach the goal. As a result, he made such a misjudgment and gave a penalty to his opponent.
"Punishment! Martial created a penalty! When Martial handled the ball just now, he obviously knew that Bellerin was approaching him, so he made such a choice. What a smart young man!"
As Manchester United's number one penalty kicker and free kicker, Yang Xiaozhuang has already practiced countless penalty kicks and free kicks in the stadium of the different dimensions. Theoretically, the shooting percentage of the penalty kicks he took was absolutely close to 100%. This time... there was no surprise!
After setting the ball, Yang Xiaozhuang just took a step back. He never made a long-distance run when taking the penalty kick, which would only reduce the accuracy of his shot.
When the whistle sounded, Yang Xiaozhuang took a step forward with his left foot, swung his right leg and thrust hard on the ball...bang!
After the ball flew out, because of its great power, there was almost no change in the route in the air. It flew straight into the upper right corner of Manchester City's goal... and finally hit Baiwang before stopping!
Manchester City's Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson was unable to react at all. He even turned his head slowly, and his eyes were full of shock... Ederson had never seen Yang Xiaozhuang, but the penalty kick just now was too fast!
The young Manchester United "king" in front of us... has made progress again!
