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

Chapter 566

At Vicarage Road, the Hornets fans were still immersed in the joy of scoring.

Just now, in the 62nd minute of the game.

Watford striker Francis scored a goal with a volley in the penalty area.

1:1.

The Hornets successfully equalized the score.

Now.

The pressure is on Manchester City. Although Manchester City only needs a draw in today's game to lock in the league championship in advance.

But there are still 30 minutes left in the game.

There are many variables.

Watford players celebrated wildly on the court, interacted with fans, and mobilized the atmosphere of the home court.

On the other side.

Many Manchester City players subconsciously looked at the bench and the position where Stewart often stayed.

Usually at this time.

Stewart would give instructions to the players in time.

The next step is to continue the main attack strategy, or to play steadily, retreat to defense, and defend until the last moment.

But today.

There was no familiar Stuart there, only Oliver with a panicked expression.

"Defense, the team needs more people to participate in defense."

It was at this time that Su Fei clapped his hands and gathered his teammates to the center circle.

The old man was not there.

Su Fei took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the team leader.

"We need to ensure the stability of the defense, improve the control of the ball, and then look for offensive opportunities from both sides and the center at the same time."

"Knight, Gareth, I need you two to play more energetically on the wing and be more proactive. Gianluca, Lao Sun, you two should do a good job of assisting on the wing, but don't push too deep."

"Xavi, reduce forward insertions and do a good job of defensive defense. Luca, Antonio, you two can do more cooperation and advancement in the middle."

The confusion in the eyes of many Manchester City players disappeared.

Football is a team game.

This team is not short of talent, but any team needs a backbone to stabilize the morale at critical moments.

Especially today.

The players are in poor overall condition and are physically and mentally exhausted.

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

The center circle was reopened and the game continued.

Watford continued to attack without reservation. For them, even if they lost, it didn't matter.

Anyway, they were already in the second place and were going to be relegated.

Today I just want to be a water ghost.

Let's see if I can drag Manchester City down with this desperate posture.

On the Manchester City side, the players strictly followed Su Fei's requirements and did not fall into the rhythm of mindless attack against the Hornets.

Instead, they played steadily, with the defense withdrawing one after another, and the midfielders participating in the team's defense.

In the transition phase after the counter-grab of the ball, the speed was gradually increased through the passing and control of the midfielders.

The game came to the 70th minute, and Zhan Jun made comments in the ESPN live broadcast room.

"After the score was tied."

"Manchester City played more conservatively and steadily."

"To be honest."

"They played much better in the second half than in the first half."

"The defense was well coordinated."

"The offense was also in good shape, unlike the first half, which gave people a feeling of being disorganized and free to play."

"This posture."

"Manchester City's current thinking should be to maintain a draw and win."

"Don't rush to score a goal and take the lead, the main thing is to ensure that no more goals are lost."

"Watford..."

"They have been attacking fiercely and cooperating with pressure defense since the start of the game."

"It's time."

"You can see that the players' physical strength has declined sharply. The offense wants to speed up, but it feels a little powerless."

This is a game that may determine the league champion this season. So far, the content of the game is not as exciting as fans expect.

The tired Blue Moon and the crazy Hornets.

One is not at a good competitive level, and the other has tried its best, but the upper limit is here.

Watford players frequently made low-level passing errors due to the increased loss of physical strength.

However, Manchester City, who had the ball, did not have the physical strength to launch a quick counterattack. They played steadily and made continuous short passes to advance.

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

The game came to the 79th minute.

Modric and Cassano played a wall pass in the middle.

After Cassano rushed out of the center circle with the ball.

He sent a straight pass.

Su Fei blocked Mahon who was defending closely, kicked sideways, and made a transfer without stopping the ball, sending the ball to Knight who entered the attacking third zone on the right side.

Knight, who had the ball, faced Watford right back Doyle.

VerticalPull the ball.

Then he raised his right leg and swept across the penalty area.

The ball passed between Watford's two central defenders, Delmet and Shitu, and went through the penalty area.

Bale rushed into the penalty area from the left.

Shoot a shot.

"Bang!"

The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal.

"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!!"

"GOAL!"

"GOAL!"

"GOAL!"

"Offensive cooperation from Manchester City's frontcourt, assists from Knight, and goal from Welsh youngster Bale!"

"2:1!"

"The game just came to the 80th minute, Manchester City took the lead again, adding another layer of safety lock to their league championship trophy!"

"Believe in the Manchester City fans in front of the TV."

"I have been waiting for this goal!"

"This goal!"

"It may be a key goal that will determine whether Manchester City can win two consecutive championships this season!"

-【Steady, stable, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I felt so tired watching Manchester City players play today, Su Fei couldn't even run. 】

-【Bale's ball is good, he didn't let down at the critical moment. Knight made a beautiful pass, and Su Fei also helped him attract defense in the middle. The ball should have gone in. 】

-【Two consecutive championships!! But brothers, why do I feel less excited than last year's championship? 】

-【Can it be the same? Last year was the first championship in nearly 40 years. Remember before the start of last season, Manchester City's goal was to avoid relegation. Since the Community Shield bloodbath of Chelsea this season, fans' expectations for Manchester City are to win the championship. I can only say that the expectations are completely different. 】

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

On the court, the Hornets fans shook their heads and sighed.

Originally thought that today I would take advantage of your illness to kill you.

The fact is.

Even facing Manchester City in this state today, it is not realistic to want to win.

On the side of the court, Watford head coach Boothroyd waved to his striker Sean on the bench.

Prepare to replace another striker and struggle in the last 10 minutes.

On the other side.

After the Manchester City players celebrated excitedly, their adrenaline dropped sharply, and fatigue came again. They quietly returned to the midfield position, took the time to catch their breath, and prepared to welcome Watford's final counterattack.

......

In the VIP ward of Milan Niguarda Hospital.

Stuart clenched his fists.

In the old man's current state, it was still a bit difficult for him to shout and celebrate.

But at this moment.

His heart was with the players on the field on the TV screen.

"Two consecutive league titles. Three titles in two years."

"If I retire now."

"I should be able to rank among the Manchester City head coaches, haha."

Stuart muttered to himself.

An inexplicable sense of sadness came over him, and his expression changed from joy to loneliness.
