Chapter 637 Shadow

Chapter 637 Shadow

At the Britannia Stadium, Stoke City looked very excited under the noise of the fans!

Tony Pulis' team is known as the City of the Sky because they are the tallest team on average in the Premier League.

In midfield, Stoke City has two tall men, Whelan and Nzongzi, and the striker also has a tall man Crouch, and his dangdang Walters is not short.

On the back line, Huth, Wilson, Shawcross, Wilkinson, and goalkeeper Bergevich, these players are all big men.

And their style of play is of course very direct, that is, playing high-altitude balls. Stoke City still maintains the traditional style of English football. They like to pass the ball into the air, and then use their height and confrontation advantages to dominate the game. initiative.

What's more, this is their home ground, so at the beginning of the game, Manchester City was still a little confused by the impact of Stoke City.

However, Kompany's performance was very stable, and the starting teenager Maguire was also amazing when facing the opponent's high-altitude ball.

Ten minutes into the game, the name most mentioned by the commentators was Maguire.

"There is no doubt that Coach Gao Bo has promoted another excellent young player, and Maguire's performance has been very solid so far!!"

"Wow...Beautiful header clearance!!! Maguire grabs a header over Crouch!!!"

"This young player's Premier League debut has no stage fright at all, but the more he plays, the more confident he is!!"

Maguire was in the limelight in the first ten minutes of the game, but after ten minutes, he gradually lost the opportunity to perform.

Because after the first ten minutes of chaos, Manchester City gradually brought the situation under control.

Seeing this situation, Stoke City turned back to defense, and they also made up their minds to play Manchester City's counterattack.

And Manchester City's offense quickly advanced to the frontcourt, but in this game, Manchester City's offense was not able to fight.

The first is speed. After the football reaches the front court, it always slows down quickly. Without the sharpness of the airport in front, the speed of passing the ball forward from the back court is quite fast, but once it reaches the front court, the speed slows down.

Like a machine without lubricating oil, it suddenly stopped.

Gao Bo frowned and looked at the team's offensive organization. What was the problem?

He looked at Yaya Toure and sighed involuntarily.

The problem is clearly on Yaya Toure's side.

Although Gao Bo arranged Yaya Toure in the left midfield in this game, Yaya Toure involuntarily asked for the ball in the middle, and after the ball reached his feet, the pace of the game immediately slowed down .

When Yaya Toure stopped, looked around, observed, and then passed the ball out, Stoke City's defense line had long been fenced, and it was even more difficult for Manchester City to get in.

This kind of slack attack made Gao Bo finally unable to bear it.

In the 30th minute of the game, Gao Bo took advantage of a dead ball and called Yaya Toure over again.

"Speed!! Our speed!! Yaya!!!"

Gao Bo continued to emphasize.

But this had no effect, and Yaya Toure continued to go his own way after returning to the court.

In Yaya Toure's heart, he was holding back a lot of energy.

He was unhappy with the manager's use of him, which he felt limited his performance completely.

Is Yaya Toure a midfielder who can only cross and shoot from long distances?

This too underestimates him!

So Yaya Toure must show some performance on the field.

When I score, when I lead the team to victory, I'll see what you say!

Yaya Toure is now competing with Gao Bo.

And Gao Bo was also very decisive after seeing Yaya Toure like this, and he immediately asked Eriksen to warm up.

Even though the first half is not over yet, he still decided to make a substitution.

Eriksen's warm-up did not attract attention. Assistant coach Moya simply asked all the players on the bench to warm up. Anyway, in the more than 30 minutes of the game,

Substitute players will warm up collectively once to avoid getting too cold and keep their bodies warm. If there is an accident in the game, they can also play at any time.

And just when the players were warming up, the team actually conceded the ball!

This loss started from Yaya Toure. When he took the ball again, the villainous butcher Charlie Adam kicked the ball away directly from the side, and at the same time put Yaya Toure to the ground.

Yaya Toure spread his arms to protest the opponent's foul, but the referee ignored it.

This is the scale of the Premier League, which is always wider than other leagues.

After that, Stoke's counterattack was very smooth. Crouch showed off his feet after receiving a long pass from the backcourt. The big man was also very beautiful at his feet. With a wave of his heel, he passed the ball to Walters!

And Walters didn't slack off. He took a long shot and hit a world wave. The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal.

Stoke City lead 1-0! !

Under the boiling Britannia, is Gao Bo's stern face.

He was just about to explode!

So at the first moment, he called Eriksen, who was still warming up, and asked him to prepare to play.

"Substitution?!"

"Manchester City is going to make a substitution!"

"Gao Bo looks like he can't bear Yaya Toure's performance!!!"

Yaya Toure was a little unbelievable when he saw that he was going to make a substitution on the sidelines.

Generally speaking, substitutions are made in the first half. In the absence of injury or other special reasons, this is the only way to be extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the player.

Yaya Toure ended reluctantly, his face was ugly, he felt humiliated, he even prepared to leave the stadium directly, but the last reason calmed him down, and now he doesn't even want to transfer out. It's possible, so if Gao Bo offends him, he will sit on the bench for at least half a season.

"Look at how we play football!!"

The anger on Gao Bo's face was obvious. Yaya Toure was only one year younger than him. The two were even the same age, but one was a coach and the other was a player.

Yaya Toure was a little frightened by the furious Gao Bo, he nodded subconsciously, but soon he felt that it was too shameful.

So he deliberately pouted, then hesitated, and finally returned to the bench and sat down.

"What did Gao Bo and Yaya Toure say, and Yaya Toure's reaction afterward also made Manchester City fans worried. Yaya Toure and Gao Bo obviously had a conflict!"

"Being one goal behind, making substitutions before halftime, the generals in the team and the coach are at odds. The foundation laid by Manchester City's previous three rounds of victories has now cast a shadow!!"

The commentators are either worried, excited, or gloating. The story between Gao Bo and Yaya Toure is believed to be the most interesting thing for the media after the game is over!

Manchester City, which seemed to be making great progress after the start of the season, is in full swing, and now, with the occurrence of this incident, it has cast a shadow... 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's school
