Chapter 635 The Cultured Rogue
Chapter 635 The Cultured Rogue
Wigan Athletic showed the momentum of being at home, and gave Manchester City a bad start at the beginning of the game. MacArthur split the midfield and Moses quickly broke through along the wing.
Since Nigeria did not qualify for the African Cup of Nations, Moses does not need to return to Africa, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Wigan Athletic.
In this season, Moses performed very well, and was even called African Messi by the media. It can be said that he is currently the most threatening player at Wigan Athletic.
Breaking through the inside cut, but Boateng is not so easy, not to mention that Moses is known as the African Messi, even if he is facing Messi himself, Boateng is not afraid. In the end, Moses passed the ball, and Rodariega grabbed a spot in the middle and shot higher under the interference of Lescott.
Manchester City counterattacked, but Barry's pass was intercepted by McCarthy, the ball was cut off directly, and Wigan Athletic launched another strong attack.
It was still MacArthur, but this time instead of looking for Moses, he passed the ball directly to Rodariega, who was destroyed by Lescott as soon as the latter turned around, and the ball returned to MacArthur's feet.
The Wigan midfielder decided to come by himself. Under the cover of Rodariega and Moses, MacArthur came outside the penalty area and took the second kick of the game to hit the goal, which was directly confiscated by Joe Hart.
It's not rude to come and go. Although they are at Wigan's home court, Manchester City does not have the consciousness of being a guest, because they have become the host and turned away from the guest.
Li Feng breaks through the middle to attract double-teams and then splits sides. Clichy inserts from behind at high speed, and Silva moves across the middle to open the gap for him, allowing Clichy to pass directly from the bottom.
Dzeko ushered in the first chance to score in this game. After relying on a penalty kick to score in the last round, Dzeko's state seems to have shown signs of recovery. In the training match the day before the game, he scored twice with a head kick.
The two central defenders in Wigan are not tall. The Paraguayan central defender Alcaraz, who is in charge of defending Dzeko, is almost 10 centimeters shorter than Dzeko. The other central defender is Caldwell, who is only 180, so Clichy directly kicks the high ball and sends it into the Wigan penalty area.
Dzeko stands out from the crowd, and Dzeko's advantage is not only in height, but also in jumping. Dzeko is not bad. He hit the goal with a header, but Dzeko's header lacked a little bit of luck. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.
Three minutes later, Manchester City made a comeback. This time, it was Li Feng and Silva's cooperation. The continuous wall-slamming cooperation between the two was so pleasing to the eye, completely igniting thousands of Manchester City fans at the scene.
Starting from the middle, the two passed MacArthur, McCarthy and Stam successively. This Stam is not the well-known central defender who was once the world's number one. Which Stam retired as early as 07. Although both are Dutch, there is basically no comparison between the two.
In the end, the two rushed into the Wigan penalty area together. For a while, Manchester City formed a picture of playing more and playing less without counterattacking. In the penalty area at this moment, besides Li Feng and Silva, there was also Dzeko desperately squeezing in front of the goal, and Aguero was already on the right.
However, there are only three defensive players in the Wigan penalty area, Caldwell, Alcaras and Figueroa. Caldwell rushed to Li Feng, because it was Li Feng who was holding the ball at the moment.
In half a season, Li Feng has used his strength to prove to the entire Premier League that he is the most threatening player in the current Manchester City team.
Passing the ball, Li Feng once again showed his selflessness, or it would be more appropriate to use the correct choice. After Caldwell rushed to Li Feng, Silva's position was completely empty. At this time, passing to Silva is the most correct and suitable choice.
Li Feng made the most correct choice, but Li Feng's choice did not allow Manchester City to open the scoring. Wigan goalkeeper Habusi rushed towards Silva.
Silva shot immediately, but unfortunately Silva's shot was hasty. The ball touched Habsi's arm. Although the ball still bounced towards Wigan's goal, the speed was undoubtedly much slower.
This also gave Wigan defenders a chance to clear the siege. Alcaraz left Dzeko decisively and miraculously cleared the ball with an upside-down golden hook just before the ball bounced off the goal line. Wigan narrowly escaped.
The ball from the clearance fell at McCarthy's feet. Wigan wanted to counterattack quickly. McCarthy found Moses, but African Messi met De Jong, the Premier League's most villainous man.
A ferocious flying shovel stopped Wigan's fast attack, but although De Jong's action was fierce, he did not hurt anyone. The referee's yellow card was only a warning to hinder Wigan's attack. On this point, De Jong is quite smart.
De Jong has a lot of yellow cards, but he has almost never received a red card. The red card here does not mean that two yellows turn into one red, but a direct red card. This really confirms the sentence, if you are not afraid of hooligans who know martial arts, you are afraid of hooligans who are educated.
De Jong is that cultured hooligan. Don't look at him as notorious, but he is very calm on the court, and he has a good grasp of the speed of fouls, and he has not done anything malicious or hurtful.
Of course~~~ People's hearts are far away, and only De Jong himself knows if he has it, but Li Feng and De Jong have known each other for half a year, and this guy is really a good person off the court.
Investment is even more one-on-one. This investment earns more money than he earns on the court. Otherwise, he would not be invited by a famous university to give a speech.
MacArthur hoisted the ball into the penalty area, Lescott competed with Rodariega again, Moses was less than 180 tall, Di Santo was sitting on the bench at the moment, and Rodariega was the fulcrum of Wigan's frontcourt.
Although Lescott occasionally twitches his head, he is quite good in physical confrontation. What's more, Rodariega is not famous for his physical fitness. The striker from Colombia is known for his comprehensiveness.
Well, if this sentence sounds good, it is comprehensive, but if it sounds bad, it is mediocre. Manchester City's central defender overwhelmed the opponent, and the ball was thrown to Barry outside the penalty area, and the latter sent it forward.
Like an arrow from Li Xuan, Li Feng pierced into Wigan's half at high speed, and the ball arrived as expected. He counterattacked and counterattacked again, but this time it was Manchester City's turn.
And the result of the counterattack was almost the same as before. In order to stop Li Feng, McCarthy fouled decisively, and the Wigan midfielder also received a yellow card for this.
But then things developed completely differently. Li Feng's initial set-kick did not go directly to Dzeko in the penalty area, but pushed it diagonally to Aguero. The latter cut inside before the Wigan defenders could react.
Facing the oncoming Alcaraz, Aguero looked unusually calm. Although he had long been dissatisfied with the climate, Argentina has now become the most stable striker in Manchester City.
Pulling his right foot horizontally, the deceived Alcaraz shifted his center of gravity, and then quickly pushed back from the outside of his foot, squeezing into the small penalty area from the left side of Alcaraz.
