"The second half of the Manchester City vs. Birmingham match is about to begin!"
"Manchester City has made a substitution!"
"Reina was replaced by the team's new player from the Osasuna youth team in La Liga, 18-year-old Javi Martinez!"
"Manchester City has made a lot of moves this winter break!"
"Two new players have joined!"
"Modric from Croatia has already brought us a surprise, and I look forward to Martinez making a beautiful debut!"
"Wang Tao, what do you think?"
"Um, Mr. Zhan Jun, to be honest, I don't know much about this young player from the La Liga youth training."
"But judging from his height of more than 1.9 meters and his strong body, he should be a player with a tough style of play and not afraid of confrontation!"
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Wang Tao looked at Zhan Jun with an embarrassed look, and Zhan Jun slapped his head in annoyance.
He really thought Wang Tao knew everything. This player had never officially played for the first team before, so Wang Tao definitely didn't know him.
Wang Tao almost lost face in the live broadcast room.
Just as the two of them were flirting with each other, on the court, Manchester City, who kicked off first, ushered in their first attack in the second half.
...................................
Birmingham, who were behind, launched a high-pressure tactic. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative.
After Su Fei controlled the ball at his feet for three seconds, he passed it back to Barton in his backcourt.
Birmingham striker Heskey immediately rushed towards Barton fiercely, and Pandiani was also stuck in Barton's passing route.
Barton was forced to pass the ball to Javi Martinez.
Javi Martinez, who had the ball, was still quickly observing the positions of his teammates around him on the court.
Pandiani had already rushed to him at lightning speed.
At this moment.
Stuart on the sidelines clenched his fist nervously. To be honest, he didn't expect Birmingham's opening pressure to be so fierce.
I am more worried that Javi Martinez can't handle the experienced Uruguayan striker Pandiani.
Before coming to Birmingham, Pandiani was the absolute main force of La Coruna, a La Liga team.
He helped the team win the 1999-00 La Liga championship and two Spanish King's Cup championships.
Not just Stewart!
Pandiani, who rushed towards Javi Martinez, did not take the 18-year-old young player of Manchester City seriously.
After all, Javi Martinez was just a player of the La Liga youth training team before coming to Manchester City.
When Pandiani helped La Coruna compete for the La Liga championship, he faced a bunch of star-level La Liga first-line backcourt.
"Pandiani!"
"Take the initiative to steal the ball!"
"Martinez!"
"Beautiful!"
"After he deftly pushed Pandiani away with his back, he turned around and accelerated the ball and chose to dribble!"
Seeing Martinez deal with the challenge from his opponent, Stuart breathed a sigh of relief, but the scene that made him frown appeared.
This game.
He arranged Martinez to be a defensive midfielder, and also gave instructions before he went on the court, saying that he should defend more and attack less, and it would be best to pass the ball to his teammates as soon as possible after getting the ball.
But at this moment!
After passing Pandiani, Martinez continued to dribble the ball and accelerated, leaning towards the center circle.
His dribbling speed was not fast, but very steady.
Stewart hesitated, but the Manchester City players on the court reacted quickly, and Su Fei on both sides and in the middle cooperated to move forward.
Nafti took the initiative to attack, trying to stop this big man who seemed a little slow.
Martinez suddenly raised his foot!
The football flew over Nafti's head and flew accurately to Su Fei who was accelerating in the middle of the field.
Su Fei looked up quickly while running and saw the pass from Martinez.
He couldn't help but sigh that the ball was passed beautifully. He instantly calculated the landing point of the football in his mind and blocked Pennant who was chasing him.
When the football fell in front of him, he raised his right foot to put the football firmly, then quickly dribbled the ball forward and continued to accelerate!
At this time.
Su Fei had rushed to the front of all Birmingham players on the field, and only the Birmingham goalkeeper was left in front of him as the last line of defense!
"Opportunity!"
"Su Fei's one-on-one shot!!"
"Keep dribbling!"
"Goalkeeper out!"
"Su Fei's left-foot shot..."
"Goal!"
"Goal!"
"Goal!"
"Not long after the second half started, Su Fei scored with an assist from Martinez!"
"2:0!"
"This goal!"
"Martinez's lob pass from the middle was crucial. This pass was so beautiful. This pass choice was totally unexpected."This 18-year-old from Spain!" "Manchester City's new signing!" "Like Modric, he got an assist in his Premier League debut!" The Etihad Stadium was boiling. Martinez's lob pass was amazing, refreshing everyone! Which fan could not help cheering when seeing their new signings give a wonderful performance! After scoring the goal, Su Fei did not rush to the corner to celebrate, but ran back to Martinez. He lifted Martinez's left hand and gestured to the camera. Martinez, who was stunned for a moment, immediately understood that Su Fei was telling everyone that this goal was his own credit. For a while. He was excited and moved, and couldn't help hugging Su Fei tightly. Manchester City players also came to congratulate. "Okay, Xavi, you really impressed me!" "Beautiful! This pass is amazing! ”
“I didn’t expect a big guy like you could deliver such a delicate pass!”
“Awesome! I’ll take you to Queen tonight!”
Martinez was a little confused as he listened to the players’ blessings. He couldn’t understand them. They spoke too fast. He couldn’t understand them at all.
He only understood that Knight mentioned Queen again, and waved his hands at Knight.
“No! No! No! "
Everyone was amused by Martinez's panic reaction, only Knight curled his lips.
How come these two new teammates are both innocent boys? Modric hasn't been dealt with yet, and here comes another rejection guy!
On the sidelines, Steve Bruce looked at the big screen, feeling envious and jealous.
Isn't Stuart too lucky!?
Another genius?
Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool... What are you doing? How come such a young and spiritual player was signed by Manchester City again!
However,
Stuart, who was not far from Steve Bruce, was no less surprised than him.
He stared with his eyes wide open, covered his mouth with both hands, and admired Martinez's calm breakthrough and the high pass after dribbling in the replay.
(Realistic picture: Guardiola covers his mouth)
This ball.
This is not Manchester City's conventional tactical setting. It is completely the result of the inspiration of this young Spanish player.
Often.
Such an inspirational pass can have an unexpected effect in the game.
The difference between a talented player and an ordinary player often lies in whether they can make unconventional passes or shots in the face of dynamic on-field situations in the game.
Just this one kick.
The transfer fee of 10 million euros has at least recovered half of the cost.
Well.
This player was also recommended by Su Fei!
The value of Su Fei's recommendation has risen again in Stuart's heart.
It seems.
We have to contact Roma as soon as possible to discuss Antonio Cassano's transfer!
