Chapter 400 A New Record in the Premier League!

In the visiting team's locker room at Manchester Stadium, head coach Roy Keane is also mobilizing the team. He uses media reports to stimulate the players' fighting spirit.

"Look at what they said, it's like we've lost, but the game hasn't even started!"

"They've forgotten about us, we've been ignored. No one looks down on us, maybe even our opponents, Manchester City."

"Indeed, Manchester City are outstanding, they won the Premier League for two consecutive seasons and last season they were unbeaten in the league, what a remarkable achievement! Now they are also at the top of the league table, equaling Arsenal's record of 49. Unbeaten record, and we are just a newly promoted team, seen by the media as an 'almost certain relegation team'..."

"But! We shouldn't see it that way ourselves!"

"We have been working hard to get better results. The strength of our opponents is not the reason for us to give up the game! In this game, I hope you can show those people that we are not a team that is bound to lose, or even to be relegated. It's not a stepping stone to the opponent's undefeated record!"

What Roy Keane said works.

When the game was about to start, it was obvious that every Sunderland player was full of fighting spirit, and they were eager to perform well in the game.

————

However, when the game started, the Sunderland players found that it was not so easy to do what head coach Roy Keane said.

Roy Keane's goal is to prove the strength of the team.

Even if it loses the game in the end, it must prove that the team is not 'definitely lost' or 'definitely relegated', but this is how Sunderland players feel when they arrive on the field.

They participated in the game with full of enthusiasm and high fighting spirit. They originally wanted to give Manchester City a head-on attack at the beginning, so they put 100% of their energy into the game at the beginning and were very active in running. Constantly looking for opportunities, they can't wait to score a goal directly and let everyone see their ability.

But... just thinking about it is useless, and even trying hard doesn't seem to be able to see the effect...

Manchester City players are not standing there, waiting to see them perform.

Sunderland's attack failed several times. They keep fighting. It was also difficult to grab the ball from Manchester City. Instead, Manchester City played a tough attack, threatening their goal time and time again.

Sunderland players have found that just trying hard doesn't get the results they want.

Football is under the control of Manchester City most of the time, and the rhythm of the game is also under the control of Manchester City. Manchester City controls the game and wants to go fast. Slow down if you want. Sunderland almost passively followed the rhythm...to defend.

This kind of competition situation must be accepted if not accepted!

Manchester City players firmly remember Wansheng's instructions and must deal with the game calmly. After they get the ball, they will continue to pass the ball and cooperate to achieve the purpose of controlling the rhythm of the game. Any chance Lan had was to use absolute strength to suppress the opponent.

Facing Manchester City's calm play. There was nothing Sunderland could do.

They tried their best to run and fight, but even occasionally they could grab the ball. In the face of Manchester City's strict defense, it is difficult to grab the ball, and most of the time, it is difficult for them to grab the ball. As a result, they can only shrink the defense line and defend the goal.

Sunderland players are not reconciled.

They hoped to achieve the desired effect, but after a period of time, they could only watch Manchester City continue to do a repressive attack while out of breath.

Many players are tired.

They found that they had no good way to get Manchester City, and when the football was at the feet of Manchester City, they tried their best to get it.

Manchester City have yet to score, and the Sunderland players are already feeling the difficulty of the game.

Their fighting spirit is being worn down a little bit.

Before the start of the game, they still had a firm will, but with the passage of time and the decline in physical fitness, their will was disintegrated little by little, especially after repeated failures, when Manchester City had the ball, they didn't even go up to grab the ball. the ball because they felt it was a waste of energy.

Then, City took full control of the game.

————

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's bench, with his right foot on his left leg, his toes twitched, leisurely.

He wasn't worried about the game at all.

Now the game has entered the orbit of Manchester City, the rhythm is in the hands of Manchester City, most of the time, the football is controlled at the feet of Manchester City, Sunderland is not even active in fighting, so for Manchester City, it is only a matter of time before scoring goals .

Sunderland manager Roy Keane on the sidelines.

He was in a hurry.

He knows very well that the team's strength is incomparable to Manchester City, and it is an away game. If the players on the field lose their fighting spirit again, what suspense can there be in the game?

Before the game, Keane's purpose of motivating the players was to make everyone have a high fighting spirit. This is also the only bargaining chip they can fight against Manchester City. If there is no fighting spirit, they will also lose all their chips, and the game will be over. There is absolutely no way to fight.

Roy Keane was anxious, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, he couldn't help but look at the Chinese on the other side.

When playing for Manchester United, Keane played against Derby County led by Wan Sheng. At that time, he only felt that Wan Sheng had good luck. Of course, to lead a newly-promoted horse to achieve such a result, his ability to lead the team is also worthy of recognition. But Keane did not approve of Wansheng, because he believed that he could lead the team to achieve good results when he became the head coach.

Now that I think about it, that's really 'arrogant'!

After coaching Sunderland, Roy Keane encountered a series of problems. At this time, he realized how difficult it is to be a head coach. Therefore, he also forgave his former teacher Ferguson. Perhaps Ferguson is also for the whole It is the development of the team that contradicts him. After all, he constantly criticizes the team and the performance of several newcomers, and he does not have a good relationship with the stars C Ronaldo, Rooney, Alan Smith and others in the team.

Now Keane admires Wansheng very much. He knows how difficult it is to achieve such a result. As the media said, it really needs to be described as a 'miracle'.

But in the face of Manchester City, Keane also hopes that the team he leads can at least play in form, so that those who underestimate Sunderland know that his team is not easy to beat.

This goal does not sound difficult, but it is very difficult to face Manchester City!

Keane has inspired the team's fighting spirit, but in the face of Manchester City's calm style of play, even a fighting team seems to have nothing to do.

At this time, the only thing Keane can do is stand on the sidelines and remind the players on the court, "The score is still 0:0, we are not even behind, we must continue to work hard!"

But his shouting had no effect at all!

His team, Sunderland, is still very passive, the players are not rewarded for their active fighting, and the team as a whole is suppressed.

Manchester City are playing so well!

From the first minute of the game to the present, Sunderland had only one shot, or a long shot from the outside, which made it difficult for them to find confidence in attack. At the same time, Manchester City had 5 shots, even if they did not score, but Coupled with the fact that most of the football is at the feet of Manchester City, it is enough to dampen the morale of the opponent.

Although there was no goal, Manchester City still played very steadily.

Maybe it was a reminder from Wansheng before the game, or maybe the players on the field saw the anxiety of their opponents. The Manchester City players just weren’t in a hurry.

In this repressive situation, Manchester City finally got something.

This was a steady attack from Manchester City before the end of the first half. They went down 17 times in Sunderland's half-time in a row. In the continuous cooperation of Manchester City, Sunderland's defense completely collapsed, and some players didn't even know how to run the defense.

David Silva saw the opportunity and used a through ball to penetrate Sunderland's defence.

Torres ran out of the space and pushed the goal on the spot.

"1:0! Manchester City take the lead!"

Although there was only one goal in the first half, Manchester City's 'stable' was seen by everyone, and the Manchester City players also felt very relaxed. Throughout the first half, the game was under their control.

Wansheng praised the performance of the players and let them continue to play like this in the second half.

On the other hand, in the visiting team's locker room, the atmosphere in Sunderland was heavy. Roy Keane knew that there would be no chance. He could only continue to boost the morale of the team and hoped that the performance of the players would be better. How to fight in the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, Keane also made a substitution adjustment--a forward was replaced by a defender.

This is obviously to strengthen the attack.

Roy Keane is not willing to lose like this. He hopes that the team can at least show something. This invisible fighting spirit or cohesion is very helpful to the team's performance throughout the season.

But the second half of the game proved that in front of Manchester City, it is not easy to show anything.

In the face of Manchester City's calm style of play, Sunderland has nothing to do.

Sunderland's fighting spirit lasted only ten minutes before being overwhelmed by Manchester City's goal. This time it was Lescott, who came off the bench for just five minutes and fired a powerful long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area to help the ball. The team widened the score gap.

2:0!

"Joleon Lescott! He just came off the bench and got a good chance! The score becomes 2-0, Manchester City are two goals ahead, the game is no suspense!"

Manchester Stadium broadcast Berbat excitedly said.

As Berbatt said, after Lescott scored, there was no suspense in the game at all. Before the end, Morris helped the team score and rewrite the score to 3:0.

Manchester City also won the final victory with 3:0.

"Congratulations to Manchester City! They won the 12th round of the Premier League! This also means that they have created a new record in the Premier League - they have become the team with the most consecutive unbeaten games in the history of the Premier League!" (To be continued~^ ~)
