Chapter 261 Chapter [068] Half-field long-range missile [Chapter 2 Synthesis Chapter 1]

Chapter 261 Chapter 【068】Half-field long-range missile 【Two chapters combined into one chapter】

The intermission time passed quickly, and the second half of the game officially began.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Tottenham Hotspur replaced Zokola with Janus, apparently wanting to strengthen the offense in the middle.This was beyond the expectations of the Manchester City players, because during the intermission, the head coach Mark Hughes had already emphasized that the opponent would strengthen the attack on the wing, and asked them to pay more attention to the attack on the opponent's wing.However, now that the opponent has replaced Janus, it is obvious to strengthen the attack in the middle, which...

When there was no extra consideration, Manchester City continued to strengthen the defense in the middle, because at this time, the Tottenham Hotspurs had already started their first attack in the second half of the game.In the midfield, Janus, who had just entered the field, took the ball and pushed forward quickly.At this time, Kompany was very awkward, and Janus was also a very strong offensive player, so the opponent sent two players with strong offensive power in the middle, so should he continue to keep an eye on Luka Modric, or should he keep an eye on these two?Very contradictory. Seeing Janus dribbling forward with the ball at high speed, Kompany was very contradictory.

At this time, Elano, who focuses on offense in the double defensive midfielder, rushed over frantically from the side and rushed towards Janus who dribbled the ball.However, Janus, who dribbled the ball at high speed, changed directions one after another, without giving Elano any chance.Janus frantically dribbled the ball towards Manchester City's penalty area. At this time, Kompany followed Luka Modric closely, and seemed to have no intention of going up.

Seeing that Kompany didn't come up, Janus took the ball directly to Manchester City's penalty area.Manchester City's central defender Dunn immediately left behind Roman Pavlyuchenko and rushed out to attract the opponent's central defender. Janus flicked his ankle and passed the ball into the penalty area.The ball clung to the ground and rolled past Dunn who jumped out, and rolled directly towards Roman Pavlyuchenko in the penalty area.

Seeing the ball fly out, Roman Pavlyuchenko, with half his back to the goal, leaned against the full-back Sabaletta behind him.Gently stopped the ball with his right foot, Roman Pavlyuchenko gently flicked the ball in front of him, turned around and volleyed.

"Boom..." There was a muffled sound, and the ball flew out like a sharp sword from the feet of Michael Richards, who was shoveling madly from the edge, and flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Facing such a ball, Joe Hart in front of the goal subconsciously fell to the ground, stretched out a push to block the ball.This is already the maximum movement that Joe Hart can do at this time.However, it is obvious that this action of his did not interfere with the trajectory of the football at all.

At this point, the Tottenham Hotspur players have raised their hands ready to cheer.

However, the ball rubbed against the right post and rolled out of the bottom line. Tottenham Hotspur missed the best chance to equalize since the start of the second half.Roman Pavlyuchenko, who missed the ball, hugged his head and roared loudly. Obviously, the goal was missed, and he was very disappointed.

Another disappointment, Tottenham Hotspur people have begun to blame God in their hearts.Our performance today is obviously better than Manchester City, why is Manchester City leading?However, although disappointed, the Tottenham Hotspurs did not just give up, nor did they give up on themselves, they continued to attack.

Luka Modric, who retreated to get the ball, had already passed the ball to the frontcourt, intending to pass it to Bentley on the wing. Bentley turned around and stopped, stuck in a position, intending to fight for the top.And the person competing with him for the position is Xu Zhou!

England's rising winger leaned against Xu Zhou, intending to catch the ball with his chest, but he didn't pay attention to the yellow-skinned kid behind him who didn't know how to defend at all.Before the game, his team did a detailed understanding of Xu Zhou. This kid is really scary on offense, but he is an idiot on defense.Obviously, Xu Zhou has already judged the intention of the other party, how can he let him get what he wants?As soon as the opponent tilted his body, Xu Zhou jumped up!

When Bentley found that there was no one to rely on behind him, Xu Zhou had already jumped into the air. He only felt that the top of his head was dark, and when he raised his head slightly, he saw that yellow-skinned boy who couldn't defend was lying directly above him. He leaned forward and pushed the flying football back!

"Beautiful!!" John Mortensen's voice suddenly sounded like thunder in spring, shaking the fans in front of the TV with tinnitus and dizziness.

"Beautiful header!! Beautiful defense!! It seems that Super Xu is not the one who can only attack!!" Mark Lawrenson also said with emotion, Xu Zhou's performance on the ball was indeed beyond his expectations.

I only saw that the football had been pushed out, and Xu Zhou landed right on Bentley. The referee's whistle sounded, "I fouled?" Bentley felt aggrieved, and he pointed at himself and asked the referee repeatedly.

The referee nodded.He shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was just resisting people below.

Bentley glanced at Xu Zhou who got up from the ground in disbelief, and said in his heart: Am I fucking resistant?This kid jumped too high, okay?Even if I want to resist, I have to be able to resist him!Although he had such thoughts in his heart and was very wronged, he knew that there was no way to explain these things clearly to the referee. Anyway, he didn't suffer any disadvantages, so forget it, Bentley shook his head and ran back.And at this time, Tottenham Hotspur is still behind, they urgently need to attack, he will not delay time for such a small matter.

Soon, the Manchester City players sent out a free kick from the wing.The ball flew out like a cannonball, and flew directly to the forward full-back Sabaletta.After handing over the ball, Xu Zhou continued to run by himself, looking for gaps for receiving and passing the ball. After passing the ball, he lapped behind Zabaleta who was trying to break through with the ball. At the same time, he was observing the changes in the situation on the field.

Xu Zhou, who was observing the situation on the court, found a gap. On the other side, Robinho had already plugged in at a high speed and rushed out of the gap.But Zabaleta, who took the ball, didn't find this gap, so he missed this opportunity.In this regard, Xu Zhou was also very helpless. He had no choice but to raise his hand and asked for the ball. Then he continued to lead forward, rushed to the bottom line, and then kicked the ball into the penalty area before the opponent's defenders came up.

To be honest, Xu Zhou passed the ball very well, both in terms of arc and placement. This point is the most difficult point for the opponent's goalkeeper and defender to deal with.However, Manchester City's attacking players are not at this point, so Manchester City's very good chance this time is just gone.All the Manchester City fans at the scene let out a sigh of disappointment!

Seeing Manchester City miss the chance, the Tottenham Hotspur people are the happiest.The full-back sent the ball out, Luka Modric caught the ball and pushed forward frantically, almost in front of the opponent's 30-meter zone, before Manchester City's Kompany rushed up to defend him, Luka Modric knew that his weak body could not resist Kompany, and Kompany's defensive ability is not weak.So he wisely chose to pass back, and Janus didn't dare to take the ball too much. After seeing Luka Modric pull back, he passed the football to him again.

During the time of passing back and forth several times, Luka Modric still failed to find a suitable passing route. The Manchester City players who defended with all their strength could always easily get stuck in the passing route. Luka Modric sighed in his heart.Without a good passing route, you can't let football stay under your feet all the time.The players of the Manchester City team are not fools, and the Belgian kid who has just been dumped is now rushing back like crazy.Without thinking too much, a thought suddenly flashed through the Croatian kid's mind - shoot!

Yes, direct shot!

Luka Modric looked up at the goal, it is about 28 meters away from the goal.And there was no one in front of him, no Manchester City players, no players of his own.Although there are Belgian boys who can chase after him, they can't quench their thirst far away.What else do you do if you don't shoot now?

Luka Modric knocked the football forward lightly, then took a run-up step, stepped on the ball with his left foot, and swung his right foot. Now he doesn't have to recite all the shooting formulas silently in his heart.

He kicked the football with the instep, exerted strength with his right leg, and the football flew towards the goal with a bang.Everyone did not expect Luka Modric to suddenly choose to shoot in this position.Still, it's a pretty good shot, isn't it?

Although no one expected it, as the main goalkeeper of the team, Joe Hart did not have any expectations. He saw the football flying into the penalty area before he made a save action, but it was obviously too late. The football shot by the Croatian kid was very fast and powerful.

"Wow..." John Mortensen was taken aback by the kick, and said in a daze, "It's really sudden, a sudden long shot. If the shot is within the range of the goal frame, I will definitely not be able to hit Joe Hart!"

Mark Laurenson next to him certainly thinks so. If the ball hits the goal frame with the speed just now, unless it hits Joe Hart directly, judging from Joe Hart's reaction just now, he really can't catch it. "It seems that Tottenham Hotspur's luck is really bad today. Such a shot can't break through the gate of Manchester City. It's just unlucky!"

Although the goal was not scored, the Tottenham Hotspurs seemed to be affected by the goal.Their offense became even crazier. Tottenham Hotspur ended an offensive and came up again like a tide.Tottenham Hotspur's offense is higher than the wave.At this time, the Tottenham Hotspurs had already placed the center of attack on the two sides, with Dos Santos and Bentley repeatedly attacking Manchester City's defense.At the same time, Gareth Bale and Joel Luka also frequently stepped in, directly suppressing Manchester City's wing attack, which could only make Manchester City's wing players tired of defending.

At this time, Xu Zhou has been oppressed to the front of the penalty area. At this time, Tottenham Hotspur's attack is very fierce!However, Mark Hughes did not make substitutions. He believed that as long as he persisted for a while, Manchester City would take the victory into their own hands.

Due to the defensive pressure of Tottenham Hotspur, the Manchester City players almost all adopted the form of big feet in the backcourt, using the old British style of long pass to counter Tottenham Hotspur.But this effect is really not obvious, and it wastes the physical strength of Manchester City's forwards and forwards for no reason. This is simply a suicide attack.

Therefore, Xu Zhou believes that only by controlling the ball at his own feet will he feel safe and have a chance.

"Pass the ball to me, Michael!" Xu Zhou yelled at the central defender Michael Richards, who was about to kick, without thinking about it, and at the same time he waved his hand.

Michael Richards turned his head and looked around. The opponent's striker didn't force him over, so he passed the ball to Xu Zhou who raised his hand to ask for it.Xu Zhou raised his hand and looked back, and found that Luka Modric rushed up at a high speed, as if to prevent himself from catching the ball easily.Or, he wants to steal the ball directly from his feet, and then directly attack his own goal.

Xu Zhou smiled slightly, when he saw the ball was about to roll to his feet.Xu Zhou, who was about to catch the ball, suddenly turned around and didn't catch the ball.The ball quickly rolled past Xu Zhou, and Luka Modric, who was rushing up at a high speed, obviously did not expect Xu Zhou to make such a move, so he could only watch the ball roll past his feet in surprise, and at the same time Xu Zhou quickly slid past him and caught up with the ball.

After easily replacing Luka Modric, Xu Zhou waved for everyone to press on.If they have been pressed in their own half, then Manchester City will be equalized in this game sooner or later.

However, just as Xu Zhou was doing this, Janus forced him up.

Seeing Janus rushing forward, Xu Zhou didn't want to confront him head-on, he didn't want to waste time in the one-on-one with Janus.Pass timing is very important on offense.After he attracted Janus, he passed the ball, and then cut and ran himself.

Xu Zhou quickly passed Janus, and at the same time, Elano, who had just received the ball from the side, immediately sent the ball back.In fact, at this time Xu Zhou had switched positions with Elano, but this was not an active switch, but a passive switch. In the Tottenham Hotspur attack just now, Xu Zhou was oppressed to the front of the penalty area in the middle.Therefore, when counterattacking, Elano cleverly occupied Xu Zhou's position and launched an attack.And Elano is no stranger to this position, and he is quite comfortable playing.

After catching the ball, seeing Xu Zhou bypassing Janus, Elano immediately handed the ball to Xu Zhou.Seeing the ball flying towards him, Xu Zhou, who advanced at high speed, had to slow down his speed to catch the ball.However, at the moment he just caught the ball, Janus, who was chasing back at high speed, slammed into Xu Zhou directly and fiercely.

Xu Zhou staggered and almost fell to the ground. He used both hands and feet to prevent him from falling completely.But when he adjusted his center of gravity, he saw that Janus who hit him fell to the ground!

This was a serious foul, and the referee should have given Janus a yellow card.However, the referee found that Xu Zhou who was hit miraculously did not fall down with his hands and feet. Although his body was a little staggered, Xu Zhou got the ball.It is good for the offense, the referee immediately took down the whistle from his mouth, did not blow it, and continued the game!

This is a great opportunity!

Xu Zhou, who was holding the ball, did not look back at the referee. He forcibly adjusted his center of gravity within three steps, and finally straightened his body.At this time he saw Robinho who ran from the wing to the middle to meet him.

Tottenham Hotspur's right-back Joel Luca was following Robinho into the center, while their flanks were handed over to the retreating winger Dos Santos.Without extra consideration, Xu Zhou immediately passed the ball to the Brazilian Robinho who followed him.

Xu Zhou passed the football to Robinho, who was running sideways, but he stopped abruptly, changed direction, and ran behind Robinho.

After receiving the ball, Robinho didn't continue to carry it, but kicked the ball to Xu Zhou who came up with his heel.

Joel Luka, who jumped from the side to the center, dare not continue to run with Robinho, because if he runs again, he will go to the center, and now they are still on the side!He saw Robinho kick the ball to Xu Zhou, and Xu Zhou pulled to the side, so he gave up Robinho and ran to the side to defend Xu Zhou.

Janus, who fell to the ground just now, got up and started the game again. He saw that Joel Luka was staring at Xu Zhou, so he ran to Robinho.

Seeing Joel Luka lying in front of him, Xu Zhou did not continue to break through.Instead, it stopped on the wing, as if waiting for the full-back to plug in.Seeing that Xu Zhou had no intention of breaking through, Joel Luka immediately lowered his center of gravity, blocked Xu Zhou with his body, and blocked his passing route.However, at the moment when Joelluka lowered his center of gravity, Xu Zhou suddenly swung the football sideways and rushed towards the middle!

Obviously, Joel Luka did not expect Xu Zhou to start suddenly. Before Xu Zhou dribbled the ball in the middle, Joel Luka just stretched his foot subconsciously, trying to steal the ball.However, he was given by Xu Zhou.Turning around, Jean found that Xu Zhou's body was already far away from him, so he didn't catch up, and he still had the task of defending the side.

After Xu Zhou flicked the ball horizontally, he did not continue to dribble the ball horizontally, but knocked the ball forward obliquely, turned around, and aimed his body at Tottenham Hotspur's goal.He saw Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez standing a bit forward, which is normal, he is at least 40 meters away from the front door...

So far, no one has come up to defend him, Janus is following Robinho.

What are you waiting for?

Although the distance is a bit far, it is not that Xu Zhou has tried in this position. During the BJ Olympics, he also had a super mid-circle long-range shot.Xu Zhou rubbed the football forward, and then pulled away!

Janus finally put down Robinho at this time, and rushed towards Xu Zhou, trying to interfere with his shooting no matter what!

"Xu Zhou suddenly started, leading to the middle road..." John Mortensen felt a special feeling in his heart. The blood in his body was boiling. He seemed to realize something?

"Is he going to shoot?" John Mortensen suddenly roared into the microphone in front of him, and Xu Zhou answered him in the next second.

One arm is thrown out, the feet are rotated rapidly, and the long shot is powerful! !

"Boom..." With a muffled sound, the ball suddenly became an ellipsoid under Xu Zhou's feet!

With a flash of white light, the football roared and flew over Janus' head, and he missed it when he rushed up.

The football jumped high and flew straight to the goal.

"Will this goal be scored? Yes! I have a hunch!" BBC radio commentator John Mortensen said with his heart beating wildly.

Gomez, the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper who was standing a little forward, saw Xu Zhou shoot, and in the blink of an eye, the football appeared above him!It was impossible for him to retreat, he could only jump up and reach out to see if he could throw the football down.

"Gomez took off...to the ball..." Mark Lawrence roared equally excitedly...

The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper leaps backwards without touching the football!

The ball slipped past his hand and fell straight to the back corner of the goal!

…………

A short silence!

"No fall, no fall!" John Mortensen exclaimed.

Gomez didn't touch the ball, and the ball fell to the back corner of the goal. All Manchester City fans watching the TV broadcast saw this scene. Their hearts seemed to stop beating. They were both nervous and expecting the result that would follow.

Everyone at the Manchester City Stadium could see the ball fly past Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez, then hit the inside of the back post of the goal and bounce into the goal!

"Ah... ah... the ball is in... the ball is in...the ball flew for nearly 40 meters, then flew over the goalkeeper of Tottenham Hotspur, and smashed into the goal..." the excited BBC commentator John Mortensen screamed. "The goal was actually scored!! In the 22nd minute of the second half, Manchester City expanded their lead, 2:0, and the goal was...Xu!!"

Xu Zhou, who scored the goal, galloped frantically towards the head coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines. Seeing his disciples rushing forward frantically, Mark Hughes was also extremely excited.He didn't dodge, he just stood on the sidelines, with his hands spread out, waiting for Xu Zhoude who rushed over to hug him.Running quickly, like the wind, Xu Zhou rushed into the arms of Mark Hughes, and the two big men gave a hot hug in front of tens of thousands of people in the audience.

"Good job, good job, beautiful long-range missile! Beautiful!" Mark Hughes, who was hugging Xu Zhou tightly, kept whispering in Xu Zhou's ear. It was obvious that Mark Hughes was extremely excited and happy at this time.

However, on the other side, Juande Ramos was not in such a good mood anymore.Although they had many opportunities in this game, the result made him very depressed.Before the game, he received news from the club that if Tottenham Hotspur could not win this game, then his Juande Ramos days in Tottenham Hotspur would be over!

"Boom!" Juande Ramos sat down on the coach's bench, his eyes glazed over!
