Chapter 201
Chapter 201
Birmingham manager Steve Bruce crossed his hands, trying to look like he was in control of everything in front of the camera.
But less than 2 minutes into the game, Manchester City's first-round attack almost resulted in a goal through Knight's cross from the right.
The painful memory of death began to attack him.
The fifth round of the Premier League.
1:4 defeat to Manchester City.
Su Fei's fastest hat trick in the Premier League.
And after the game, his own goal was cut cleanly.
Hmm.
Manchester City seems to have become stronger!
And that Manchester City No. 9 was not just standing in front of the goal waiting for his teammates to cross and compete for headers.
His dribbling, his passing, he even started running back and forth in the middle to participate in the team's defense.
Manchester City FA Cup 8:0 Watford, the newspaper that created the Vicarage Road tragedy.
It is still on the desk in Steve Bruce's office.
Today.
Visiting the Etihad Stadium.
Steve Bruce only conveyed one request to the players.
While trying to win, don't become the background board of Manchester City or Su Fei's new record!
Trying to win is nonsense, don't be the background board again, that's Steve Bruce's real idea.
Today.
Losing is okay, for Birmingham, who is trying to climb out of the relegation zone, losing fewer goals is the key!
Because the current points ranking of the last few in the Premier League, except for Sunderland, which has completely rotten and has only won one game, are very close.
Especially Birmingham and the previous Portsmouth, the points are the same, only 1 goal difference!
Hold on, you must hold on!
Steve Bruce saw that the football was once again sent to his own backcourt by Manchester City through a long pass, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart.
.......................................
"Barton, long pass from the backfield!"
"Modric!"
"Clean sideways pass!"
"Modric, who started for the first time in this game, is in good shape. In the first 10 minutes, he has torn open Birmingham's side defense twice with his personal breakthrough ability!"
"Carter stepped forward to intercept!"
"This time..."
Modric has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League game and faced Carter who was rushing towards him.
He calmly pulled the ball and stopped.
Then he poked the ball forward with his left toe, and the football rolled along the sideline.
Before rolling out of the sideline, Modric, who was wiped by Carter, completed the emergency brake.
He pulled the ball again to get rid of Carter's pursuit and tackle, and kicked the football with the outside of his right foot.
The height of the ball was very low.
The football bounced on the grass with a swirl, and every time it touched the grass, it changed direction slightly and bounced again.
This ground spin ball avoided the interception of Birmingham player Nafti.
Middle road, just past the center circle!
Su Fei appeared in time and rushed to the landing point of the football. After unloading the ball with his right foot, he sent a diagonal long pass with his left foot without stopping the ball.
The football tore open the defense line between Birmingham's middle road and right road.
Accurately found Sun Jihai who was advancing on the right.
"A pleasing large-scale transfer cooperation from Manchester City!"
"If Manchester City's offense is like a ring of rotating gears, Su Fei is the biggest one among them, connecting and driving the gears on both sides to rotate synchronously!"
"Ji Hai!"
"Keep pushing forward!"
"Facing the defensive players, calmly pass the ball to Knight on the right!"
"Cheers!"
"Manchester City fans at Etihad Stadium have started cheering!"
On the court, Knight faced the goal direction and faced Birmingham right back Melchiot, pulling the ball with his right foot to adjust continuously.
Suddenly he leaned forward and made a feint.
Then he pulled the ball with his left foot and stopped it suddenly, and then he pulled his right foot to the bottom of the ball and passed it to the middle.
The ball flew to Birmingham's penalty area.
Birmingham goalkeeper Mike nervously prepared to save the ball, as the second goalkeeper in Birmingham.
It was because Su Fei's header broke the finger of the starting goalkeeper Taylor last time.
He was promoted this season.
Yeah.
For this game, he specially put on thickened goalkeeper gloves, watched Su Fei's goal video repeatedly before the game, and studied Su Fei's shooting angle.
Just to be the first Premier League goalkeeper to block Su Fei's violent header in this game, except for Van der Sar.
However.
"Bang!!!"
When the familiar explosion sounded, the football rushing straight at him was still so fast that he couldn't react at all.
"The ball went in!"
"The ball went in!""In the 15th minute of the game, Knight assisted and Su Fei scored a super header!"
"33 goals!"
"Su Fei's cumulative Premier League goals have reached 33 goals!"
"Only one goal away, Su Fei will tie Alan Shearer's single-season goal record of 34 goals!"
"Today!"
"Maybe today, we can witness the birth of history!"
"Remember the record of Su Fei's fastest hat trick in the last game against Birmingham!"
The Etihad Stadium erupted in deafening shouts, and Su Fei led his teammates to the corner area to celebrate.
Stuart nodded calmly. Halfway through the league schedule, he has gradually become accustomed to the shock brought by Su Fei's violent header.
He is no longer the rookie head coach who was so excited that his shirt burst when he saw the team score.
And the most shocked expression in the entire Manchester City is Javi Martinez.
He stared at the two central defenders in the Birmingham penalty area who were knocked down by Su Fei during the fight.
During the Manchester City team training match.
Su Fei, who deliberately let the ball go, had never presented such a violent scene in front of him.
This... his main center forward is too violent!
I heard that he is not yet 18 years old.
A little younger than himself?
Javi Martinez's scalp was numb, and he could only keep himself calm by pulling his hair.
Mainly.
His teammates, especially the head coach, seemed very calm, and it seemed that they were used to Su Fei's violent performance.
Hiss.
Javi Martinez took a breath and looked at Su Fei with a little admiration...
It seems that you have to play violently in the Premier League!
Birmingham head coach Steve Bruce shook his head helplessly, but he was not too uncomfortable.
After all, Su Fei performed the fastest hat trick in 2 minutes and 55 seconds in the last game.
No matter how uncomfortable it is, can it be as uncomfortable as it was at that time?
.....................................
In the rest of the first half, although Manchester City continued to dominate, they failed to break Birmingham's goal again.
1:0!
At the end of the first half, the players of both sides returned to the locker room for a 15-minute halftime break and adjustments.
After Stewart finished a simple tactical adjustment.
Came to Javi Martinez who was in a daze in the corner.
"Javi."
"I'm going to replace you in the second half."
"Do you have any ideas?"
After the translation, Javi Martinez showed a surprised and nervous expression.
"Coconut silk, silk!"
At this time, the locker room happened to be quite quiet, and the players all heard the pronunciation of Javi Martinez's foot.
Everyone was amused, and Javi Martinez himself laughed.
Knight rubbed his nose and complained to Su Fei beside him.
"Why is this Spaniard acting like a big fool?"
"Are you jealous that he is taller than you?"
"You are talking nonsense, I am not!"
