Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 183

Stuart doubted his ears. He saw Cole looking for him and thought that the veteran had volunteered.

Unexpectedly.

He actually wanted to replace Modric?

Cole, can he actively recommend someone else, or a newcomer to the team?

Unbelievable!

Stuart thought he knew Cole very well.

He knew clearly that this former Manchester United player joined the city's rival Manchester City despite criticism not really for retirement.

But to prove himself!

Prove that at the age of 34, he can still serve as the main striker of an ordinary Premier League team.

Before Su Fei joined, he was indeed Stuart's first choice for the main striker in the new season.

Only now.

Coupled with Vassell's recovery from injury and good condition, he was put on the bench.

About this matter.

After Vassell replaced Cole's first game this season, Cole also specifically expressed his dissatisfaction with him, and even secretly implied that the team gave Su Fei too high a tactical position.

Since then, Stuart has also understood the veteran's thoughts more deeply.

Just today.

Cole's move broke Stuart's previous impression of him.

"Reason, I need a reason, Andy."

"Well... Boss, if I say that although I didn't play, I also hope that the team will win, this statement is definitely not convincing. But if I say that I believe Luka's playing will definitely help the team, and he can do better than Musampa, do you think it's okay?"

Stuart looked at Cole for several seconds, and even thought of the possibility that Cole knew that Modric and Su Fei had a good relationship, so he wanted to get Su Fei through Modric.

Then he answered Cole seriously.

"Okay. Maybe in some aspects, you as teammates must know each other better. I am willing to accept your advice, but not now. But I accept your advice, and I will definitely replace Luka at some point today!"

Cole nodded and came to the bench and sat back next to Modric, and found that Modric's expression was very strange.

"Andy, I just heard you mentioned my name to the boss..."

"Luka, I think your nagging about the game is very insightful. I told the boss that if you were to play, you would definitely help the team!"

"Huh?"

Modric was touched. He didn't expect that this Manchester City teammate, who had only talked to him for a few words and whose name he only remembered, would take the initiative to do such a thing for him.

"Andy, thank you!"

Cole smiled. This period of time as a substitute in the team was a torment for him.

From a Premier League star to a bench player.

Under the huge gap, Cole once felt that he had lost the meaning of being in Manchester City.

Even if Manchester City's performance was good, he didn't think it had anything to do with him. He had even made up his mind to leave here after the end of this season.

But at this moment.

Cole seemed to have found the meaning of his existence in this team as a veteran.

"Come on, Luca, tell me about the cross-field tactic you just proposed, let's discuss it..."

"It's like this..."

"It's a good idea, but look at the Liverpool midfielder, his range of movement is almost always there, so I think it can be improved, for example..."

Manchester City's bench showed the scene of veterans and newcomers having fun, while the players on the field were still enduring Liverpool's fierce attack.

............................

"This should be the most difficult game for Manchester City in the past month!"

"According to the real-time data sent by the statistics department!"

"As of now, 38 minutes have passed, Liverpool has made 9 shots and 4 hits, while Manchester City has only made 2 shots and 1 hit."

"Although there has been no goal yet."

"But this set of data is enough to illustrate the defensive pressure Manchester City is currently under and the situation of being blocked on the offensive end."

"Hey!"

"Wang Tao, what do you think?"

"Teacher Zhan Jun, although I have a similar opinion to you overall, I don't think the situation is that bad for Manchester City!"

"Look!"

"After the continuous high-pressure pressing and several fast breaks at the beginning, the physical strength of Liverpool players has declined significantly."

"Liverpool's offensive method at the beginning of this game is to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and hurt themselves by 800."

"They hope to quickly establish a goal advantage through the bombardment at the beginning."

"But Manchester City stumbled through it."

"After getting through the most difficult period, their opportunities will also appear!"

On the court!

As if to verify Wang Tao's words, Luis Garcia, who was dribbling the ball on the right side of Liverpool, made a mistake in the process of passing.

A long pass was sent out, but it was ridiculously crooked and sent directly in front of Manchester City's midfielder Reina.

Reina was surprised to unload the ball.

Su Fei, who was standing near the center circle and was originally involved in the return defense, immediately turned around and accelerated.

The aircraft carrier turned around, there must be crude oil... This is Manchester City's chance to counterattack!

Reina made a slight adjustment and immediately sent a long diagonal pass to Knight on the right.

Knight was running fast on the side, and the explosive mode was activated!

The defensive player behind Liverpool's right side is the 21-year-old Malian teenager Mohamed Sissoko, who played as a midfielder in this game.

This is also a disciple brought by Benítez from Valencia.

Although Mohamed Sissoko is only 21 2 years old, but has a defensive awareness beyond his peers.

He is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms. His extremely strong body has created a fierce and tough defensive style.

This is also the reason why he can be Liverpool's starting midfielder.

When he blocked in front of Knight, who is 1.65 meters tall, it was as if a huge giant was looking down on the residents of Lilliput.

Knight was not stupid enough to go head-to-head with Mohamed Sissoko, and made a fake move to pull the ball and change direction.

Suddenly, his right foot knocked back and sent the ball to Sun Jihai who was assisting from behind.

Then he passed Mohamed Sissoko, and Sun Jihai's straight back pass came just in time.

The tall and fierce Sissoko instantly turned into a stupid Sissoko.

When he reacted and tried hard to catch up.

He could only eat Knight's tail gas.

"A tacit two-on-one!"

"Knight and Jihai cooperated on the right side! ”

“It has become the most beautiful scenery on the Manchester City stadium!”

“Knight dribbled the ball to the side and sank to the bottom!”

“Facing Liverpool right back Finnan!”

“Huh! ?”

“Didn’t choose to lob the ball from the bottom line!”

“Inverted triangle pass! ”

At this time, Liverpool was at the top of the penalty area!

The tall central defenders Sami Hyypia and Jamie Carragher had formed a closed-door defense, waiting for Su Fei to arrive!

When Knight sank to the bottom, the two were ready to grit their teeth and welcome Su Fei to rush into the penalty area to compete for a header.

Result!

Su Fei, who was coming in the middle, did not go any further, but braked suddenly in front of the penalty area and then moved to the right.

Then!

Stretching out his right leg, he perfectly unloaded Knight's inverted triangle pass!

The football rolled to Su Fei's feet.

Su Fei!

He made a picture that shocked everyone, and he raised his right foot high!

The expression of Liverpool coach Benitez on the sidelines froze on his face, and he was frantically questioning in his heart.
