From the role to the protagonist, Manchester City has not adapted to this transformation.Compared with the long-established neighbors, who lack the courage to turn the tables in adversity in difficult situations, Dzeko, Aguero, Yaya Toure, Kompany, the core players of the Manchester City team, also lack the composure and confidence brought by reaching the top of the world, and even Pellegrini, including Pellegrini, fell when they were only a few steps away from the highest stage.City on the pitch were still looking for an equaliser, but in any case there was a sense of struggle and futility, with the players still struggling to run, but more of a "show".If the normal ability is 10 and the normal play is between 8 and 12, then the ability is still 10 and the play is only 8 or even lower.This determines that in some momentary confrontations, they tend to give up because they lose confidence and tend to give up in the self-doubt of "what if we win this time", and everyone gives up like this will show a posture of "we all work hard, but we just can't kick out".Unless a powerful variable is injected into the process, it can be reversed, some coaches rely on careful substitutions, some coaches rely on on-the-spot incentives, and some rely on supergiants.Supergiant has the powerful ability to turn decay into magic, and Supergiant has strong self-confidence that he will not be shocked everywhere, but unfortunately there are only three supergiants and they are crowded enough, and only Wang Ai is the one who often plays as a substitute among the three supergiants.Whoever has Wang Ai will have more of this move, and now Pellegrini has played this trick.Wang Ai ignored the expectant stares of his teammates, and he kept a calm expression and ran to the position of the shadow striker to wait for the game to resume.Wang Ai's calmness made his teammates worried: This guy who scored more than 10 goals in a training match won't suddenly be in a bad state, right?
In the 78th minute, Wang Ai in the middle of the front field received Kompany in the middle of the front field and passed Dzeko diagonally, and then quickly stepped forward, Dzeko found Wang Ai's movement and tried to cooperate, but unfortunately his intention was too obvious, and when he passed Wang Ai in front of him, he was destroyed by the second defender's header.Wang Ai then moved sideways to grab the ball, and the football was sent to the back wing of Manchester City by another Villa player, Zabaleta and the opposing midfielder Bacuna began to scramble, Dzeko ran back to the half to participate in the defense, and Wang Ai also moved to the center circle and stopped moving.After several struggles, Manchester City finally got the ball, Fernandinho, Nasri, Milner, Dzeko advanced at the same time, Villa's defensive system retreated at the same time, Wang Ai looked back from time to time at the front, adjusted his running position from time to time, and after half the time, he had quietly moved to the left side of the middle, between the ribs between Villa's central defenders and full-backs.Wang Ai's conservative ball just now, so that Nasri, who was running with the ball, had a misunderstanding, he thought that today's supergiant was not in good shape or the desire to win was not strong, so he let Wang Ai's position in the front but did not pass the ball, until the Villa players in front of him had gathered as many as 9 people, and the imaginary rapid counterattack had become a bubble before he realized that he and his teammates' physical fitness and energy were close to exhaustion, and the opponent had enough strength due to the favorable situation of the game, he noticed Wang Ai who pointed to the Villa goal from the ribs and waved his hand to him.Nasri's through-pass, of good quality, was sent to Wang Ai from the cracks, but it was slightly conservative compared to the most ideal pass, Wang Ai could only temporarily stop and turn around to win the ball from the fierce eyes of the surrounding Villa players, and when he turned quickly, the opponent's encirclement was complete.There are as many as 4 defenders in front of him, one in front of him is afraid of being passed by Wang Ai to keep his distance, and the two people on the left and right behind him are eager to come forward to attack, and the nearest teammates are also surrounded by Wang Ai, even if they barely receive Wang Ai's knockback, they can't form a threat.Wang Ai could only swing the football sideways at his feet, dodge and dribble to the bottom line.This thought was in an instant, and on the surface, it seemed that Wang Ai turned around to receive the ball and decisively went down in the face of many defenses.With Wang Ai's extremely agile getting rid of and pulling laterally, a straight median line of the Villa team appeared a sharp protrusion on the right side, and the hearts of the whole audience, the home and away sides were suspended, at this time Wang Ai had two choices, one was to resolutely go down to the bottom and then cross, and the other was to use the speed to tear the gap to continue to rush, expand, and reach the end.Although the first choice is conservative, it is impeccable, football is a collective sport, and it is normal to seek the support of teammates at critical moments.And the personal heroism of the second choice is too strong, and of course everyone cheers when you enter, and if you can't get in, you will be suspected of "independence".What's more, the second choice is a hard requirement, that is, you have to run faster than the opposing central defender!
It just so happens that Wang Ai's biggest gain this summer is 9.71 seconds!
At the moment when his teammates were not yet in place and the opportunity appeared in front of him, Wang Ai did not hesitate to go it alone.When the opponent's central defender chased sideways and the pace was slowed down, Wang Ai's momentum rose.When he turned to dribble the ball, it was thought he was going to go down, but he took the ball past Villa's centre-back line and headed for the goalkeeper.In the field of vision of the fans on both sides in the stands, Wang Ai didn't do much, nothing more than stopping, catching the ball, turning, pulling horizontally, and running with the ball.In the eyes of the coaches of both sides, it was a different scene: Super Giant, with his best sprint of the year set this summer, he turned a mediocre bottom cross into a single knife!
Villa in front of the goal, players on both sides are approaching at high speed, when the first one in the Villa goalkeeper's nervous look like black lightning, and when he ran to the penalty spot, the opposing defender was actually thrown out by him more than two meters.The goalkeeper had to abandon the goal and bend down to pounce on the football, but he kept picking up the ball and flying over the goalkeeper during his run.In an uproar, Chinese fans thousands of miles away have been filled with happiness: What am I talking about?
The first Premier League goal in five years, and sure enough, it's here!
The sluggish Villa fans behind the baseline looked at the black figure that didn't look at the goal after the goal, and it seemed to coincide with the sea-blue figure of five years ago, but it was stronger than then.Only then did they understand what exactly the "supergiant era" that many newspapers had sworn to announce this summer meant.The ability to rewrite the game on your own!
The City players pounced on the turquoise grass like threads being pulled to the sole focus, and the smiles on their faces betrayed their surprise.As they hugged each other, slapped each other, laughed and ran back, the applause of the Manchester City fans did not stop for a moment, as if they really saw an indomitable force rising.It's not about having money anymore.
