Chapter 462 The Dynasty of Recovery
The highlight of this round of the Premier League is undoubtedly in Manchester City's home game against Itihad and Arsenal. In this thrilling battle, the players on both sides have created a lot of good opportunities to score goals, and the final result is that Silva's golden goal helps the Blue Moon Legion pull out of the quagmire. Continue to make great progress in the league table.
Of course, another focus of the two sides of this game is undoubtedly to focus on Gunners captain Van Persie: just 24 hours before the start of the game, the Sun first exposed an explosive news, which said that the Blue Moon Legion had launched an offensive against the recent hot Fan Shen, and It has issued a super contract with a total value of 41.6 million pounds to attract the Dutch to land at the Etihad Stadium next summer.
As soon as this news came out, it attracted the unanimous recognition and response of the Manchester City club. Manchester City's iron gate Lescott, who watched this game, bluntly expressed his desire to fight side by side with Van Persie. Although I don't want to trade him for any striker in our team, it's great that he can play for us. We welcome any world-class star to join the team, and Van Persie is one of them. He is the biggest and most important threat to Arsenal at present.
Not only that, even Manchester City's head coach Mancini came to "cross the bar": "There is no doubt that Van Persie is unparalleled. His role is like the importance of Aguero to our team. His recent performance is simply fantastic, scoring all kinds of unparalleled goals." Richards, the defense general who recovered from his injury, said, "Van Persie is simply too important. His 33 goals this year are amazing. If Arsenal can always keep Van Persie, then they have the hope of considering competing for the championship.
It is not difficult to see that the whole army of Manchester City's affirmation of the strength of a player like Van Persie. Tonight, the two sides are in different or even hostile camps. The whole army of Blue Moon, especially the strong defenders of the back line led by Compani and Colo Toure, can be said to be full of energy to limit this The performance of the Dutch striker, but the 47,303 fans sitting in the stands of Etihad Stadium don't think so. Some good Manchester City fans have even regarded this sharp knife from the enemy's front as their own.
According to the BBC radio live broadcaster, shortly after the start of the game, the blue moon fans on the sidelines sang songs about Van Persie and mocking Arsenal as if discussed in advance: "Van Persie is ours, you are just our satellite club, Van Persie is ours ( VanPersieisours,youareourfeederclub,VanPersieisours).
Indeed, there are too many stories about the players of Manchester City and Arsenal in this game: Nasri and Colo Toure, who played in this game in the Blue Moon camp, are all old gunmen, and Yaya Toure also tried at Arsenal eight years ago and almost signed a contract with Wenger, plus Adebayo, Clichy and other old generals have now added the "new grudge" of Van Persie. It seems that the entanglement between Manchester City and Arsenal will continue.
However, it was a Spaniard who contributed to Manchester City in this game.
"Silva sent a Christmas dinner to Manchester City in advance," the Daily Mail praised Silva's performance. Although Silva's goal tonight is just a make-up shot in front of the goal, it is valuable to Manchester City. Now Manchester City doesn't need gorgeous poets, only iron-blooded warriors, and the thin Silva stands up again. The Guardian praised Silva's efficiency tonight. "Even if there is only a little performance, Silva will shine like gold. He did it tonight."
With this goal, Silva has scored 5 goals in the Premier League this season. In addition, his data of 8 assists and 42 threatening passes are the first in the league. It is absolutely true that Silva is the creator of the Premier League.
After Silva joined Manchester City for £2,400 last summer, many people in the team were not optimistic about his future. Assistant coach David Pratt once recalled: "I didn't expect the club to spend so much money on such a thin player. In the first month after David came to the team, I didn't have any communication with him, because It's too shy for him." But Silva changed a magic trick in front of everyone. He magically performed how a short player with a height of only 1.70 meters and a weight of only 67 kilograms crossed the Premier League. "The defenders can't give him a little space, because he can pass and pass the ball in any narrow space. He is a miracle in the Premier League. . " Former Manchester City defender Barrett said this about Silva.
For himself to adapt to the Premier League so quickly, Silva's explanation is "always think one more step." When I first came to Manchester City, I was not sure whether I could integrate into the Premier League, but Mancini had a special confidence, which deeply infected me. In the Premier League, when the ball is not passed to your feet, you have to think about what to do next. The physical confrontation and competition speed here are higher than La Liga, and there is never enough time for you to slow down. Now I'm faster and more agile. I think I've adapted to it here, and I'm at my best.
Silva's performance tonight is not shining, but it is more effective. With his support, Nasri has also played the best game recently.
But for Manchester City and Mancini, any wonderful pass and pass is not as good as Silva's foot on the goal in the 52nd minute. Nasri's left side was straight. As soon as Ba Shen got the ball and called the goal, Szesni barely blocked the ball. Although Aguero's make-up shot failed, Silva in the back took the opportunity to sweep in. Net nest. Between the lightning, Silva threw away all the skills at this time and completed the final kill in the simplest way. I believe that after watching this scene, fans can better understand Silva's evaluation of himself as "faster and more agile".
With technology and speed, such Silva's teammates look rare. Richards praised: "He really brought us magic. He is definitely a world-class player. In tonight's game, only he and Van Persie can be called world-class. In tonight's world-class duel, Silva can be said to be a small victory over Van Persie. In the last round, Silva lost in the competition with his fellow villager Mata, but tonight in front of Arteta from the La Masia Youth Training Camp, although Silva has only been in the Premier League for more than a year, she has won in terms of the rationality of the ball, the range and speed of movement.
Some fans were so poisoned by Silva's artistic football that they actually gave him the title of "an aphrodisiac". Silva's grandmother always praised his grandson's cleverness: "In the years when he left home to pursue his football dream at the age of 12, every time he called him, his voice was very low. I I think he must be having a bad time, but he has always reported good news but not bad news. Although he is famous and has money to buy a big house for himself, his girlfriend is not a famous model, but a friend he has known since he was 4 years old and is still studying in Madrid.
When talking about why Silva's ball control skills are so excellent, Grandma proudly recalled: "When he was probably 4 or 5 years old, he would kick my potatoes for cooking at home, which was his earliest ball. After that, I had no choice but to sew a few cloth balls with rags and let him kick them at the door. Otherwise, the ingredients for cooking at home will be kicked out."
"To control the ball well, you must have a good balance between the leg and the ball," Silva explained his superior ball control skills. The secret is very simple, but not everyone can do it well. Silva's merit may be included in grandma's potatoes.
After each goal, Silva will habitually kiss his left wrist to commemorate his amorous cousin Cynthia. Not only that, Silva also tattooed Cynthia's name on her boots. Seeing that Silva is so dedicated, fans have reason to believe that the Spaniards want to help Manchester City make history.
"I had a good time in Manchester City, and the atmosphere in the locker room is also very harmonious. This team is no longer what outsiders say. We are a whole. Am I the best player in the Premier League? Of course not. There are too many good hands here. Although it was an adventure for me to give up Real Madrid and Barcelona to come to Manchester City last summer, it seems that this is definitely the right choice. Although Manchester City can't compare with Real Madrid and Barcelona now, we will definitely have enough champions to challenge them in a few years. Silva expressed his confidence.
"I don't play football seriously enough for my son," old Silva explained when talking about his son's success.
A stadium genius who can become a peerless martial arts player who can play potatoes will definitely help Manchester City win more championships. Newton changed the world because an apple hit his head. Today, Silva, with a small potato, practiced hard day and night and almost subverted the Premier League with his small technical storm. His landing in Britain could cause a revolution in England: Therefore, Silva's success made Mata, Aguero and more and more technical players have begun to set foot on this land. Silva has created an era. He has completely conquered the Premier League and is slowly conquering the world! Football Newton!
On another court, Manchester United also chased their rivals in the same city with victory, ranking second in the league.
Before the start of this game, when Manchester United's central defender suffered a large-scale injury, Carrick's survival did not make Manchester United's fans feel any relief, because in their opinion, the meritorious midfielder in the league's third consecutive championship has become the team's chicken rib, and it seems that the only young people are waiting for him. Squeeze out the fate of the regular lineup. However, when the whole world was pronocing the death sentence of Carrick's career, Carrick, who had always kept a low profile, broke out in silence.
This game against the Queens Park Rangers is definitely a masterpiece of Carrick's career. It can be said that Carrick's performance has never been so good since the beginning of Manchester United's "post-three consecutive championship" era. Manchester United's No. 9 Li Yu's lightning goal of 52 seconds set the main tone for the game from the beginning, and Manchester United's main offensive posture also set up a launch pad for Carrick's outbreak.
In the 56th minute of the game, Carrick suddenly started, intercepted Patton's cross pass, and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack from his half. Just when everyone believed that Carrick would give the ball to Li Yu, the core of the team's attack, the Manchester United veteran chose to break through with the ball. As a result, when the players in Queens Park were sent When he realized Carrick's intention, Carrick was fully speeding.
Carrick took advantage of this fleeting defensive gap to break through from the two players and killed all the way to the edge of the penalty area. Then he pretended to shoot the far corner with his right foot arc ball, but suddenly shot the ball into the near corner. The opponent's goalkeeper Serny was caught off guard and watched the ball fly into the net with his fingertips.
After the game, in an interview with Sky Sports, Carrick said excitedly: "It is very important to score a second goal. At that time, their goalkeeper made several fantastic saves. We all know that scoring another goal can stabilize the victory. This is a very important three points."
Of course, there is no need to say more about the importance of scoring goals. From an ornamental point of view, this may also be the best goal in Carrick's career. Manchester United No. 16, which was criticized by many fans as slow and soft, from intercepting Patton's pass in the backcourt, to the long-distance attack across 50 meters, to the calm and fatal shot near the corner, every action was fast and accurate. Foling couldn't even stop Carrick's firm pace from counterattacking behind him. After scoring the goal, he roared loudly and tore his jersey wildly. Is this the low-key gentleman Carrick?
It is also a single ride along the left rib. Carrick's goal reminds people of the classic goal scored by Giggs in the 1999 FA Cup against Arsenal, and Van Nistleruy also completed a similar horse team in the game against Fulham in the 02/03 season.
But don't forget that Giggs is recognized as a breakthrough master. Van Nisner is an efficient scoring machine. In contrast, it is particularly rare for Carrick, who is not good at disc drives and shots, to complete such a goal.
You should know that Carrick's last goal for Manchester United can be traced back to Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Manchester City (Weibo) in the League Cup on January 27, 2010. The two goals were 690 days apart. During this period, Carrick made 71 games for Manchester United, so when Carrick broke in this way When the goal is in shortage, it will undoubtedly make people wonder that the iron tree blooms and the water flows backwards. Patton, the captain of Queen's Park, who achieved this world wave, was worried about his passing mistake. He even said that he would lock himself in the small dark room to deeply repent and wash his face with tears in painful memories.
In addition to the highlight of the goal, Carrick's performance at both ends of the attack and defense is also wonderful enough.
In the 15th minute of the game, Carrick dribbled the ball and played two-to-two with Li Yu. Manchester United's No. 9 crotch straight ball tore open the opponent's last defense line. Carrick took the ball and broke into the penalty area to complete the shot. Luke Yang was embarrassed to catch up and block the ball out of the bottom line.
In the 20th minute, Carrick sent a scalpel-like straight plug ball. Valencia was about to face the opponent's gate. Unfortunately, Connolly made a key interception at the last minute, which solved Carrick's ecstasy. In the 42nd minute, Carrick juggling in the defense and lifting the interception ball with the outside of his feet, and then turned around to complete the encirclement. The whole set of actions was completed in one go. Whether it was the prediction of the ball and the use of technical movements, it was perfect.
With Phil Jones' large-scale sweep in front of him, Carrick Yang gave full play to the advantages of defense and prediction. The tragic pictures of being turned into wooden stakes by the opponent in the front defense can finally be sealed as memories. Manchester United team boss Ferdinand once praised Carrick as "the most underrated player" and said that only those who play with him really understand his strength. The Twitter maniac updated his Twitter as soon as possible after the game, and reiterated that Carrick played the level of a top player today, and he has always been underestimated by many people.
In the whole game, Carrick made 58 passes and 49 passes in place, with a passing success rate of 84.5%, of which the front-court pass success rate was 81.2%. In addition, all four shovels were successful, and there were 3 cleared, 13 conceded and 6 counter-offs, and also won a free kick for the team.
Just as Manchester United's official website commented on Carrick after the game: In addition to a winning goal, Carrick once again showed his value to the team. As an offensive meme, his role in the team's tactical system is precious.
In fact, Carrick's performance in recent games has been remarkable. With a golden partner like Phil Jones who can fly up and down, attack and defend, Carrick's slow movement frequency and poor impact weakness is perfectly covered up by Edwards II. At the same time, Carrick's overall view and transmission and control advantages It was also maximized, and the meritorious midfielder, who was once sentenced to death, has rejuvenated the second spring of his career.
Carrick, who is flowing with the blood of the Red Devil, never gives up. He said, "I have been enjoying my football, and I also believe in the coach's choice. As long as I can keep myself in good shape, I am confident that I can occupy a place in the team. Now that we have gradually recovered our rhythm, I am full of confidence in the future of Manchester United.
Li Yu picked up his shooting boots, Phil Jones adapted to the new role, and the little peas returned to the team. Now, Carrick has also regained his form. As Ancelotti said after the Manchester derby defeat, Manchester United is a good team that is good at starting, and now it seems that the Red Devils have really played out. The posture of counterattack is definitely a dangerous signal for the Premier League.
