Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 188

"The team wearing black and red jerseys is Paris Saint-Germain, who is visiting Etihad Stadium today. They will attack from the right side of the screen to the left."

"Today..."

"Wait! Sterling dribbled into the penalty area and knocked the ball back!"

"Chen Chen followed up and used his body to resist Paredes and got the ball."

"Turn around! Swing your arms! Shoot!"

"Goal!"

In the studio, Zhan Jun screamed wildly!

"Less than 14 seconds into the game, Manchester City created an excellent shooting opportunity by dribbling on the left!"

"Chen Chen did not waste this rare shooting opportunity!"

"It was so beautiful!"

"Navas in front of the goal couldn't react at all!"

Etihad Stadium was boiling instantly!

Chen Chen, who scored the first goal for the team, maxed out his dodge. He avoided the hugs of his teammates, ran all the way to the corner flag area, and then jumped onto the billboard and cheered!

Zhan Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to comment,

"The fastest goal record in Manchester City's Champions League history is the 95-second goal record created by Stones in 2017."

"Today, Chen Chen raised this record to 14 seconds!"

"In addition, the fastest goal record in the history of the Champions League is the 10.2-second record held by Dutch star Makaay. Chen Chen's 14-second goal record is the second fastest in the history of the Champions League!"

"Let us congratulate Chen Chen, congratulate this player who will surely grow into a world-class star!"

Chen Chen near the corner flag area didn't know how Zhan Jun would brag about himself. At this moment, he was hugging his teammates to celebrate the goal!

The moment Chen Chen scored the goal, Guardiola on the sidelines first touched his bright head.

The Spaniard was very surprised and shocked by this!

Turning around and shooting in one go!

More Messi than Messi!

Then, like thousands of fans, Guardiola cheered excitedly!

The 0-2 defeat to Paris in the last game made Guardiola feel suffocated.

Although he didn't say it, people who are close to him can definitely see his worries and annoyance!

Guardiola is a person who tends to be introverted.

In the 24/25 season, Manchester City had a painful record of 7 rounds without a win. The audience and the media didn't know how Guardiola scolded the players behind closed doors, but Guardiola scratched his face and made everyone's pupils dilate!

This is too much torture for himself!

In fact, think about it, as the head coach of the world's number one football team, Guardiola must be under more pressure than imagined.

For other teams, such as Manchester United and Chelsea, reaching the top four of the league can be said to be a relatively successful season.

But Manchester City can't do that.

The Blue Moon, which has won six championships in 7 years, has too much to bear, and fans and passers-by have placed too many high hopes on them.

The pressure value can be imagined.

At the Etihad Stadium, Chen Chen's performance made Guardiola excited for a while!

Guardiola can turn the page and look forward to the first game against Paris!

However, some are happy and some are worried.

Pochettino on the other side seemed a little stunned, and the Paris players on the field were also a little confused.

They saw the result of the loss clearly, but what about the process?

How did it happen?

Soon, the big screen on the scene and the broadcast camera in the studio began to replay the goal scene just now.

B seat kicked the ball back, and Rodri immediately passed it to Chen Chen in front of the left after taking the ball.

Although Chen Chen will be in the front midfielder position today and play as a frontcourt free man, at the beginning of the game, he will still arrange according to the team's starting position.

Chen Chen walked forward after taking the ball.

He brought a lot of offensive pressure to the opponent, and Herrera did not dare to come up to grab him for a while.

Messi turned around and tried to force him, but was dribbled past by Chen Chen.

Seeing Herrera and Messi assisting in defense, Chen Chen chose to pass the ball to Rodri who was in the middle.

Then Chen Chen walked to the middle, and Rodri dribbled the ball to the sideline.

Of course, Rodri did not dribble the ball horizontally, but slowly dribbled the ball to the left front.

At the sideline in front of Rodri's left, Sterling was waving for the ball.

Messi was swaying and cooperating with Paredes to defend Chen Chen who was jogging to the middle. Then the Argentine did not go back too deep, he returned to the front, and Paredes became the main force to defend Chen Chen.

Rodri and Herrera on the left were actually in a 1-on-1 situation.

However, Rodri did not choose to dribble past the opponent.

Instead, he chose to kick and pass the ball to Sterling!

The moment the ball left Rodri's control, Sterling turned around and ran!

Ashraf quickly turned around and chased after him!The Moroccan international chased and raised his hand to indicate that he was offside, and Kimpembe, who was in the center back position, also raised his hand to indicate.

But the linesman did not raise the flag, so there was no offside!

Of course, this does not rule out that the linesman was waiting for VAR's feedback.

After all, some offside gaps are just a few millimeters, and the human eye can sometimes not see clearly.

Ashraf could only grit his teeth and continue chasing.

The speed of the Moroccan right back was not slow, but he was unintentional, and one of them was running forward, and the other had to turn around to start accelerating, so the difference in position came out.

Sterling dribbled the ball down to the baseline, and then chose to dunk and cut inside!

Finally, he kicked the ball back at a 45-degree angle!

Chen Chen, who had moved to the outside of the penalty area early, ignored Paredes' defense that was almost useless, and kicked the ball with a fierce shot!

After watching how the team lost the ball again, Messi on the field seemed a little helpless and angry.

Paris's forward and back line lineups are pretty good, but this midfield position is very average!

32-year-old Gay, 32-year-old Herrera, 27-year-old Paredes.

How can this stop 18-year-old Chen Chen?

The moment Chen Chen scored, Messi's thoughts were pulled back to 2018.

In the match between France and Argentina, Mbappe completely broke down the Argentine defense with speed.

Chen Chen is the same today!

On social platforms, Chen Chen's fans are posting and leaving messages crazily.

They expect Chen Chen to complete the achievement of "punching Ronaldo and kicking Messi"!

This is not very respectful to say, but to be honest, since Messi and Ronaldo dominated the Golden Ball Award more than ten years ago, no one wants to defeat them!

Now Chen Chen is expected to achieve such a god-killing achievement!

Soon, the Blue Moon players who had finished celebrating returned to their own half to wait for the kick-off.

At this time, the time on the big screen just came to the 2nd minute.

It was not just Messi who felt stunned and helpless, Neymar and Mbappe beside him also seemed puzzled and surprised.

This is Gui!

Before the restart, Pochettino called Guy, who was closer to him, and asked him to make some adjustments.

The midfield defense must be strengthened, and the opponent must not be allowed to break into the penalty area so easily, especially Chen Chen!

Pochettino glanced at Verratti and Wijnaldum on the bench.

If the situation is not right, he will replace Verratti, who has better dribbling and organizational skills, at the right time.

But in that case, his tactical strategy will be disrupted.

Pochettino really hopes that this situation will not happen!
