Chapter 58

______________________________________________

February 28.

Manchester.

Manchester City's Maine Road Stadium, which can accommodate 48,000 seats,

However, among them, in fact, the number of Manchester City's own fans is only about 30,000!

There are over 10,000 blackpool Expedition fans!

There are nearly 20,000 neutral fans!

Fans of Manchester City and Blackpool are normal to watch their teams' games.

But this group of neutral fans came to see Blackpool's jokes.

They want Blackpool to fall at the feet of Premier League relegation team Manchester City, and then give Blackpool a good laugh!

And this game.

Because it has reached the third round of the FA Cup, it has a certain amount of gold.

The scene was also equipped with professional broadcast seats and two commentators.

At this time, the two commentators had already taken their seats and began to comment on today's game.

"Cole, Blackpool VS Manchester City, which team do you prefer?"

The general commentator smiled and asked a guest commentator next to him.

"To be objective, I'm actually a little more optimistic about Blackpool."

The guest commentator replied: "Blackpool's performance this season is obvious to all. The state and strength are surprisingly good. Last time, it was a five-goal victory over the Championship team Wimbledon."

"Manchester City, on the other hand, are now in the third-to-last place in the Premier League table and are at risk of relegation at any time."

After listening to what the guests said, the general commentator nodded and said to the microphone: "Yes, although the two teams are very different in level, their strength is not the same, and they all have a chance."

"Okay, let's look at the starting lineups of the two sides. For Blackpool, the striker is still the combination they are most familiar with this season."

"Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Beach.

"In the medium and long term, Kaka, Ronaldinho."

Just when the commentary introduced the starting lineup of both sides.

on the field.

Players on both sides have already taken their places at this time, the referee has begun to check the table, and it seems that the whistle for the first half of the game will be blown soon.

beep!!

Not long after, the referee's whistle sounded!

Signal the official start of the third round of the FA Cup

boom!

Blackpool, who was the first to get the ball in the first half, sent the ball to Ronaldinho by Ibrahimovic.

boom!

After Ronaldinho turned around, he knocked the ball to the centre-back Vidic.

Vidic received the ball, another horizontal knock, and handed it over to full-back Sun Jihai.

Manchester City's players also quickly pressed down from their own half, trying to put some pressure on the Blackpool players.

They stepped forward slowly, approaching Blackpool's ball carrier step by step.

boom!

bang bang!

But wait for these Manchester City players to just press up.

The Blackpool players tacitly mentioned the rhythm, made a few quick passes, and pushed the ball across the midfield before the Manchester City players could react!

This time, Manchester City's front three defense line was easily penetrated!

After all, he was in the top league, and at his own home, he was easily pierced by a 3rd-tier team!

The Manchester City players couldn't hang their faces at this time, and then they started a crazy counterattack, wanting to give Blackpool some color!

The players on the midfield line and the forward line were all running at full speed at this time, and they were pressing the ball-handling players of Blackpool like crazy!

but.....

After more than a month of training and competition practice, the Blackpool players are fully proficient in TIKI-TAKA!

Passing the ball, moving the ball, etc. on the court are all familiar!

As long as one person has the ball, there will be more than three passing points by his side!

Under such circumstances, these six players in Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt are bound to be tortured!

bang bang bang....

bang bang bang....

Next, the sound of passing the ball continued to sound, Blackpool, with the advantage of one more person in the middle and backcourt, stably controlled the football.

Manchester City's players are running around like headless flies, everyone is aggressive, but they just can't touch the football!

After frantically grabbing for a minute, the mentality of many Manchester City frontcourt players and midfielders exploded!

Often after failing to grab the ball, he kicked the turf angrily and took out the turf!

The Manchester City fans at the scene couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when they watched the performance of the home team players, and shouted regretfully.

On-site commentary.

When the two commentators saw such a scene, they were a little dumbfounded.

"Can't get it, Blackpool's team seems to have played the ball-handling tactics from the beginning of the season, and now they are fully proficient."

The general commentary is popular for many fans watching the broadcast in front of the TV

"Especially after the winter window signings, they seem to have gone to the extreme of ball-handling tactics."

"Constantly steering the ball back and forth with quick kicks, sometimes even looking completely redundant."

On the side, the commentator shook his head and expressed his different views, "No, no, no, it's not superfluous at all."

"Look at it, although this kind of passing seems to slow down the attack from a macro perspective, when you look at it in part, the speed of advancement is very fast, so fast that it is difficult for the opponent to keep up with the defense."

"And on the football field, it's usually these small local victories that turn into chances, turn into goals."

The general commentator raised his eyebrows and said puzzledly: "Oh? Is that so?"

The commentator next to him nodded and

confirmed: "Yes, that's how they won against Wimbledon in last game."

"There's another benefit to this tactic, you see the Manchester City players are now completely dragged into Blackpool's rhythm."

"If Blackpool suddenly picks up speed, then...'

Having said that, he looked at the commentator on the field and his eyes suddenly moved, and then said: "Come on! It's this kind of speed up!"

The general commentator on the side immediately turned his attention to the field.

I saw that Blackpool seemed to suddenly speed up the offensive rhythm near the midfield at this time, and he made a long-distance flat pass and directly found the attacking midfielder Kaka!

Kaka immediately got up to speed and rushed the ball towards Manchester City's dangerous area!

On the other hand, the Manchester City players behind Kaka just woke up from a dream and chased after Kaka!

But Kaka's starting ability, can their lesser-known players catch up?

Kaka didn't even look back at this time, knowing that the opponent's players couldn't keep up with his speed.

He only had the goal in front of him in his eyes at this time!

boom!

After taking a few steps with the ball, Kaka passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who received the ball with his back in the center position!

boom!

Ibrahimovic took the Manchester City central defender behind him, didn't stop the ball, just returned the ball one by one and passed it to Kaka!

Manchester City's defenders were completely panicked at this time, and they didn't know who to mark in the penalty area.

But just this panic, their ribs appeared neutral!

boom!

Kaka's execution is very strong, with a through ball, towards the neutral space on the left side of Manchester City!

The left winger Cristiano Ronaldo immediately kicked up his steps and rushed towards the Manchester City penalty area!

His eyes are very eager to score, because this is the Premier League team on the opposite side!

Breaking the goal of a Premier League team is something he has never done in his career!

He likes to challenge himself and break through himself!

Thinking of this, Ronaldo's body muscle potential is more like an explosion, rushing to the penalty area of ​​Manchester City!

Manchester City has already played a full-back in their 30s. At this time, looking at Cristiano Ronaldo who is starting to speed next to him, although he really wants to block, he is really powerless!

In the end, he could only gamble and slide towards the football, hoping that his feet would come into contact with football earlier than Ronaldo's!

but

boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo's foot touched the football first and drove the football far away!

The Manchester City defender's eyes suddenly gave birth to a bit of despair, he had no time to retract his legs, he could only watch his legs shove C Ronaldo down!

"Ah!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was shoveled and fell to the ground with his legs in his arms, with a look of pain on his face!

Beep!!

The referee's whistle also followed, and the players in the Manchester City penalty area looked helpless and desperate.

"Pick up!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo! The winger used his speed to give a penalty for Blackpool!!"

The voice of the general commentary sounded immediately!
