Chapter 660 The Suddenly Rising Teenager
Chapter 660 The Suddenly Rising Teenager
(New week~ is also the last week of this month~~ask for tickets~~~ask for rewards)
The commentator's words still won the support of most of the fans and the media. The strength levels of the two are not at the same starting line. In Basel's situation, the most in the Premier League is just a relegation team.
This is not an exaggeration. If you look at the players in Basel's lineup, you will know that except for Frey who played the main force in the five major leagues before, everyone else is basically a substitute or marginal player.
Of course, several young players in Basel are different, such as Xhaka, who can play for giants when he grows up, and the same is true for Shaqiri.
Compared with the players on the field, the Manchester City fans in the stands and Manchester who were not with the team seemed more excited. After this goal, their restless hearts were settling down.
Basel is just a very serious team with two extremes, a combination of veterans and teenagers, but both have an amazing phenomenon. The veterans will not be easily shaken, while the young players are full of hard work, which makes the two achieve a perfect balance. This is also the most important reason why Basel defeated Manchester United at the last moment.
After the game restarted, Basel's young teenager created a dangerous situation. Frey and Xhaka cooperated, but this Frey is better than Frey. The young player is called Fabian Frey, and the veteran Frey is called Alexander Frey.
Frey Jr. is only 22 years old. In this game, he will be the left back of the team, Shaqiri will be the right back, and Xhaka and Hugel will be the old and young pair in the middle.
Next to Zakara, Little Frey moved across the middle, and Hugel passed a straight pass to Little Frey who moved across the middle. In order to stop Little Frey, Richards could only follow and leave.
In the cross, captain Strehler leaped high and overwhelmed Kompany. Basel's striker was a combination of one tall and one short. Old Frey had comprehensive shooting skills, while Strehler was a typical center forward with a height of 195. He was the highest altitude in the game, and his bounce and header were also quite good.
Strehler is one year younger than the old Frey. He is currently 31 years old. Like the old Frey, he also came from the Basel youth training.
Although the scoring rate of a center like Streller is not high, its tactical role is quite obvious. Kompany did not beat Streller this time.
But if you want to blast Manchester City's goal, you need to ask the real owner of the goal, Joe Hart. At the moment when the ball was about to fly into the goal, Joe Hart's fist abruptly killed the hopes of [-] Basel fans.
However, Manchester City did not expect that Basel's real killing intent was after the header. Joe Hart would block the baseline and naturally give the opponent a corner kick.
Xhaka, Basel's young midfielder kicked the ball into Manchester City's penalty area. Streller and Old Frey suddenly attracted too much defensive attention from Manchester City, and Manchester City could not ignore Basel's central defender.
And it's not Abraham, who is quite tall and physically good, but another central defender Dragovic, a young central defender who is only 20 years old.
"Wow~~~ That little guy jumped really high~~~Headed the goal~~~The ball slipped past Joe Hart's fingertips~~~Basel equalized the score~~~No~~~No~~Basel didn't score, the ball hit the inside of the post, God, the wind~~~It's the wind~~~When the wind came back here, he cleared the ball on the goal line."
"No~~~ The matter is not over. There was a quarrel on the court. The Basel players were protesting to the referee. They thought the ball had crossed the goal line, and they believed that the wind cleared the ball inside the goal line."
In the face of the agitated Basel, the famous Italian referee was unmoved. Nicola Rizzoli, with the accumulation of experience, the Italian famous whistle has made great progress in law enforcement in the past two years. Last year, he was awarded the best referee in Italy.
"You just told the truth~~~" Seeing that the referee was unmoved, Dragovic turned his gaze to Li Feng.
"When I made a clearance, the ball didn't cross the goal line." Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, but what Li Feng said was the truth. The ball bounced off the goal post and did not land on the goal line. He had a precise prediction. If it entered the goal line, he couldn't stretch out his foot to clear the siege. He kicked out when the ball was about to cross the goal line.
"Hmph~~~" Dragovich didn't expect Li Feng to answer him, and Li Feng didn't look away when he answered, which made Dragovich start to doubt himself, but then shook his head. The referee has already made a penalty, and it's useless to think about anything now.
It's still a corner kick, but this time Manchester City's defense is quite in place. Although it still belongs to Basel, under the defense of Manchester City players, Basel's header flew directly out of the baseline.
However, Dragovic's performance next made everyone lose their eyes. He became the most active person on the field. In the defensive section, no matter how Manchester City attacked, this young central defender could always be seen.
"Dragovic made a siege~~~beautiful~~~A perfect steal, Dragovic cut off the ball at Balotelli's feet, Dragovic headed the ball~~~God, the penalty must have stimulated this little guy. During this time, he is simply possessed by superman." Seeing Dragovic's activity, the commentators turned their attention to the central defender.
Compared with the silence of the first two 10 minutes, the last two 10 minutes became Dragovic's personal performance. With Dragovic's superhuman performance, Basel was only one goal behind Manchester City in the first half.
Even on the sidelines, Van Basten's eyes are on the young central defender. Savage is no longer in Van Basten's plan and should leave next season.
Although Savage's performance in Manchester City can be described as horrible, he is still young and he still has room for improvement. The position of midfielder is relatively special, so Savage has no shortage of buyers. Even during the winter break, players asked for Savage's price.
In addition to Savage, Kolo Toure may also leave Manchester City in the next summer. After all, he was an absolute main player in Arsenal. If it weren't for the drug ban, he would never be willing to sit on the bench this season.
And he is only 30 years old. In the mid-back position, 30 years old is called the best age. The next two years will be Kolo Toure's peak period. No one wants to sit on the bench all the time during his peak period.
Judging from the current situation of Manchester City, the combination of Kompany and Boateng is quite good. Boateng is at the front and Kompany is at the back.
So if he can't guarantee his position next season, Kolo Toure will give up. In addition, he will inevitably leave Savage. There are only three players to choose from for Manchester City's central defenders. Therefore, in the summer, Manchester City needs to buy at least one new central defender.
