Chapter 166 Strength

Chapter 166 Strength

At the last moment, they pressed up across the board, and the two full backs went down to the bottom line.

But I really couldn't run anymore. Many technical movements of the Sporting Lisbon players were deformed.

Sporting Lisbon's left-winger cycled past Trabelsi, then staggered, kicked off a piece of grass, and fell to the ground himself.

Trabelsi took the ball and ran to the middle circle in one breath, and the opponent's defense caught up. He made a two-to-one with Silva and easily waded through the defense. Sporting Lisbon's right back stepped forward to defend and was caught by him A fake move fell to the ground, and then rushed into the penalty area.

From his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, Trabelsi ran 80 meters and broke through the defense three times in a row.

The performance is very dazzling!

The head coach of Sporting Lisbon was stunned: Damn, who said they were exhausted?

Entering the penalty area, Trabelsi shot directly!

With a piece of flying grass, the football went straight to the goal with a strong rotation!

The Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper didn't dare to rush, and knocked the ball away with both fists.

The goalkeeper, who made two or three wonderful saves in the first half, was exhausted at this time. The ball was not far away, and it happened to fall at Shevchenko's feet.

Shevchenko did not hesitate, and pushed the ball lightly, and the football rolled into the goal.

4: 0!

In terms of total score, Manchester City leads 5:3!

Shocking reversal!

Shevchenko scored the goal, and Duncan was rarely excited.He even turned around and gave Jim Cassell a hug.

If Pedro's goal broke the confidence of Sporting Lisbon, then Shevchenko's goal directly killed the game!

Won!

At the last moment, Sporting Lisbon was exhausted and had no strength to attack.

This score was maintained until the end.

Made the cut!

Accompanied by the cheers of the home fans, Manchester City players raised their arms one after another.

This is a soul-stirring, epic reversal!

As a director, Duncan's calm arrangement is the key factor.

The players even ran to the sidelines and threw Duncan into the air together.

The away fans couldn't hide their disappointment, some in tears.Two games ago, they had thought about this result, but when the result really came, they were still very sad.

After 180 minutes of the game, they led by 150 minutes after all!

Looking at the Manchester City players who were still running, the head coach of Sporting Lisbon shook his head and smiled bitterly: The opponent's physical fitness is not a problem at all, and our strategy was wrong from the beginning.

After a short celebration, Duncan found the head coach of Sporting Lisbon in the crowd and shook his hand: "Good performance."

"You are better." The other party said.

Duncan smiled.

Yes, you are doing well, but we are better!

Of course, this is not over yet, there is also the post-match press conference.

For the coach of the loser Sporting Lisbon, this is actually quite cruel.Of course, football itself is a brutal sport.

"Evaluate your opponent in this game!" A reporter asked.

"The opponent's strength is higher than ours, and they used extremely successful tactics. From the beginning, they were actually pretending, so at that time, we had already lost."

"Pretend, please tell me more about it." The reporter was a little puzzled.After all, they are just bystanders, and they don't see the details thoroughly.

"Obviously, there is actually no problem with Manchester City's physical strength, but everyone thought before the game that there was a problem with their physical strength." Speaking of this, the head coach of Sporting Lisbon took a meaningful look at the left and right reporters present, and their fueling was indispensable. De: "So my tactics were wrong from the very beginning. The purpose of Manchester City's tactics in the first half was only to consume our physical strength and repeat long-range shots to anesthetize us and cultivate our inertial thinking. "

"It's not that exaggerated," Duncan continued: "Actually, I just want to try it out and control the excitement of the players in the last three to 10 minutes, and then watch the team explode, that's all."

"Pedro's playing, is it a conspiracy?" Sporting Lisbon coach asked.

"This is a conspiracy," Duncan shook his head: "The purpose is only to force you to make the tactical intention I want. Of course, if that goal doesn't score, I may delay his playing time. The first goal, always is the most difficult."

"So, in fact, I attacked at the end of the first half, which was the best opportunity?"

"That time was actually a trap. If you attack, we will have a chance to fight back."

The two head coaches talked to each other and discussed tactics, but left the reporters aside.

But the reporters didn't think much of it, because the discussion between the two head coaches let them know a lot of tactical details that they were not aware of.

And these details can't be found out by asking alone.

Of course, Duncan dodged questions about Manchester City's physical fitness.

This game is over, and the top 32 matches of the UEFA Cup are all over.Manchester City's reversal can be regarded as the most bright game in the top 32, and it also attracted a lot of attention.

As for the other strong teams, they all passed the test.Leverkusen defeated Galatasaray, Glasgow Rangers advanced on away goals, and Eindhoven eliminated the Swedish team Helsingborg with a total score of 4:1.

The giant Bayern Munich defeated Aberdeen 7:2 in two rounds, showing that they are bound to win the UEFA Cup.

Every team that wants to win the UEFA Cup has to weigh its own weight.

But that is still far from the game, you have to finish your game one by one first.

After eliminating Sporting Lisbon, Manchester City's next opponent also appeared.

Serie A team, Fiorentina.

Fiorentina coach Prandelli is very good at training young people.In the past two seasons, Fiorentina's performance has steadily improved. Last season, they entered the UEFA Cup. This season, they fought on two fronts.

After the game against Sporting Lisbon, the team ushered in a rare one-week offseason.After the offseason, entering March, there is another devil schedule of [-] days and [-] games.

At this stage, every game is a tough battle and must be won.

Because of the loss of a game, it may cause the team's efforts throughout the season to be wiped out.

This is a double test of will and physical strength.

For Duncan, the biggest gain lies in the appearance of the Spirit Gathering Formation.

This is also the most solid proof that Manchester City can beat Sporting Lisbon.

Although the Spirit Gathering Formation only has a 20% bonus, its effect is outstanding.

The physical fitness of the players recovered, and Duncan was able to make tactical arrangements on the tactical level.

That's why Manchester City was able to endure until 10 minutes before making a move in the UEFA Cup, defeating Sporting Lisbon in one fell swoop.

In fact, for Manchester City, scoring a goal is not difficult.But this game required Manchester City to score two goals while Sporting Lisbon did not score.

That's why Duncan came up with the tactical idea of ​​dragging down Sporting Lisbon and then resolving the battle.

Of course, the bigger achievement lies in the growth of Pedro.

On the football field, to win the attention of others, strength is the greatest proof.
