Chapter 960 Best 2
In this Manchester City derby, many reporters focused on Sterling. This dexterous little forward was humiliated after that game last season and became a laughing stock across the country and even Europe.
No matter what opportunities he encounters in the future, the word "tears" is likely to accompany Sterling throughout his career.
Everyone thinks that Sterling is holding fire, and his performance this season is very good. When Aguero is in poor condition, Sterling has shouldered the burden of scoring goals. He currently has 13 league goals, each of which The 19 goals scored in this event have exceeded the total goals scored last season.
But in fact, the one who holds the most anger in the Manchester City team is not Sterling, but De Bruyne.
When he was at Wolfsburg, he hated being called "the second best". After coming to Manchester City, he performed very well, but then the media commented... He really deserves to be the second best.
But De Bruyne was injured and recuperating for more than a month in early November. At that time, the media commented on him...Looking at his tendency to get injured, he can only be ranked second among Best. Best has not been injured for many years!
Although De Bruyne has long-range shooting and passing skills similar to Sun Wu, the positions of the two are different. Sun Wu mainly plays in the center, while De Bruyne prefers to appear on the wing.
And Guardiola asked De Bruyne to play in the middle during training... Although Ding Ding accepted it, he felt very awkward.
If he loses this game, De Bruyne can almost imagine how the media will comment... Don't imitate Best, after all, you are only the second best.
The pent-up anger was reflected on the field, as he was very aggressive and ran hard. For a while, it was difficult for Manchester United to find a gap in the middle. Sun Wu tried to move to the two wings but had no gain, so he simply passed the ball back. , anyway, the decisive moment of this game is the second half... It is already the 45th minute, and the injury time on the sidelines is only 1 minute.
But at this moment, Kanter's pass to Herrera was slightly stronger. The latter made a mistake in stopping the ball, and De Bruyne suddenly made a move.
"De Bruyne stole the ball!" Zhan Jun shouted at the top of his voice: "Danger...Man City's fast break!"
In fact, Manchester United had enough defenders in the midfield and backfield, but the cross-running movements of Aguero, Sane, and Sterling caused chaos on the field.
Sun Wu immediately pounced on David Silva to block the passing route, but De Bruyne didn't even think about crossing the ball. He just dribbled the ball forward and sent a direct pass.
"Direct pass...Aguero makes the ball..."
"De Bruyne...danger...where Sane is..."
"Oooh, shot!"
"The goal was scored!" Zhan Jun grinned, "De Bruyne shot from a long distance with his left foot, but De Gea failed to make a save."
"World Wave... De Gea can't help it either." Zhang Lu said helplessly: "He can also kick a powerful and heavy World Wave long-range shot with his left foot, which is really a bit like Sun Wu."
After scoring the goal, De Bruyne did not smile. He ran towards his face on the sidelines... his nose, eyes and mouth were all squeezed together, and he roared to vent his dissatisfaction.
Sun Wu rubbed his nose and remained silent. This lost ball left him speechless. The cooperation of De Bruyne and Aguero bypassed Kante.
Although Kanter did not give up, De Bruyne chose to volley with his left foot without stopping the ball, which gave Kanter no time to block it.
In fact, if De Bruyne chooses to pass the ball directly to Sane,
Manchester United may well be able to complete the clearance if there are enough people in the penalty area, but this is the most suitable offensive routine.
But De Bruyne chose a long shot, and it was a long shot with his left foot, which caught De Gea off guard.
Overall, this goal stemmed from De Bruyne's personal ability.
Mortensen commented like this, "Suddenly he stole the ball in the middle and attacked on the spot. There was no breakthrough or passing. Instead, he hit the wall with Aguero and then scored directly with his left foot."
"Tsk tsk, I have to say, De Bruyne really looks like Best."
De Bruyne was so sick when he heard it...
Sun Wu's eyes collided with Mike Phelan's on the sidelines. The former shrugged and the latter spread his hands. Although the tactics were not yet mature, he had to give it a try.
But we have to wait until the second half, the first half is almost over.
"De Bruyne is really good in the middle, and he is as comprehensive as Best. He can move forward, pull out, and press forward to create threats. Of course, De Bruyne retreats to organize the attack and control the rhythm. Need to strengthen, he is the second best..." Mortensen was still praising De Bruyne and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, I just said De Bruyne is the second best..."
"Hahaha, Best must be snickering in his heart!"
Sun Wu turned around and looked. De Bruyne, who had finished celebrating, was standing on the sidelines, frowning and stroking his inner thigh...
Tsk tsk, even if he celebrated, he could pull up his thighs. Sun Wu grinned and suppressed a smile. As an opponent, he might be a little regretful, but as a head coach, he would only be secretly happy.
De Bruyne ended his treatment on the sidelines, but Manchester United kicked off normally, but Clattenburg immediately blew the whistle to end the first half.
The Manchester United players walked into the player tunnel, while the Manchester City players surrounded De Bruyne on the sidelines. Everyone knows what the Belgian means to the team. In the month when he was injured, several games were narrowly lost, including two. The opponent was defeated only in stoppage time every game.
Griezmann, who was the last one to walk into the tunnel, also said to his old teammate Bravo, "It's none of our business this time."
Guardiola nervously asked the team doctor. In his mind, De Bruyne is indeed regarded as the second best. The technical characteristics of the two are very close, but there is one very big difference. Except for Best eight years ago, Almost no injuries, and De Bruyne hardly has a season without injuries...
…
In the locker room.
Everyone closed their mouths and listened to Sun Wu, who was standing in the center, making tactical arrangements. There were 11 chess pieces on the tactical board, with lines drawn with pens of various colors in between.
"So, Kanter, your task in the second half is very heavy. Unless it is a high-position press, you cannot lose your position."
"Van Dijk, you also need to hold your position and support Kante to Pavard and Alderweireld."
Sun Wu turned to look at Lucas, "You are the most important point. You need to hold the ball to advance, you need to move in to protect, and you also need to pull out to provide a point for the ball."
Sun Wu explained eloquently, and the players nodded in agreement.
"Go on the bench to warm up every 10 minutes and be ready to play at any time." Sun Wu emphasized, "The whole world knows that Manchester City is very good at controlling the ball. Having an advantage does not necessarily mean that you will get the ball..."
"So we need to contribute blood and not tears." Griezmann responded with a smile.
"Not bad." Sun Wu smiled and nodded, "Now, let's show up."
This time Manchester United walked out of the tunnel first. Manchester City waited until Clattenburg asked before coming out.
The two sides had just taken their positions, and before Clattenburg blew the whistle, De Bruyne kicked the ball towards the center circle... Then he sat on the ground in pain, clutching his inner thigh, and reached out to Guardiola on the sidelines to make a substitution gesture. .
Sun Wu looked at this scene with a grin... The media said it right, you are the second best, and you will never become the best.
