Chapter 572: Chapter 571: You Prefer to Lie Down, Huh?
Just now, Zhan Jun, who had been providing commentary for the fifth time, said through the words he had left behind, "I told you Manchester City could have any kind of performance in this game! Now they have indeed taken a six-goal lead!"
In fact, what Zhan Jun initially meant was that Manchester City was very likely to lose by a large margin.
But you have no evidence, do you?
After Ribery missed the chance to assist, Maxa made another substitution.
He replaced Ribery with the entertainment-type player Ashley Young.
The reason was that Wycombe’s players were already being somewhat irrational, with some playing angrily and going after the player instead of the ball.
"Do your best, this game has already been messed up, without clear instructions from Kai, you can perform freely. This is your stage, you know?" On screen, Feng Te was giving Ashley Young a pep talk before he went on.
And after Ribery came off, Feng Te showered him with praise, "Congratulations! You should treat everyone to a meal today! You scored a very beautiful goal!"
"Besides the goal, your other aspects were also notable! I feel like you know the playing style that suits you! It’s simply great!"
The camera frequently focused on Feng Te, and immediately the stands resounded with the fans’ praise for the assistant coach.
Maxa smiled without saying a word.
Feng Te is indeed a great talent.
This way, Maxa will have more energy to think about what drink to prepare for Kai next week.
As for the real assistant coach Deschamps and the player-turned-coach Guardiola, they were studying Manchester City’s upcoming opponents.
The good news is that the opponent is a relegation battler.
The bad news is that these relegation battlers had previously defeated Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool... just outrageous!
The 82nd minute.
The opponent’s shot was once again brilliantly saved by Lehmann.
Today the opposing team didn’t have many chances to score, and all were resolved by Lehmann.
Sun Jihai was holding off the opponent on the wing, contesting for the ball.
Beep!
The main referee blew the whistle.
The opponent committed a foul on the attack.
Sun Jihai earned a defensive set-piece for the team.
This was even better than a successful clearance.
Lehmann signaled everyone to move forward, then he walked out of the penalty area, ready to take this defensive free kick.
The players from both sides converged near the center circle, because Lehmann’s big kick was likely to send the football to this position.
Thump!
Lehmann made a big kick...
It went over!
The football was flying high when it reached the center circle.
The goalkeeper’s big kick often surprises with its range.
In the front, Adriano, realizing this was an offensive opportunity, immediately rushed toward the right side of the penalty area.
The football’s landing spot was right close to there.
Thump!
Adriano was harshly hit by the opposing center-back, tumbling to the ground.
But he wasn’t foolish, counter-wrestling the opponent down with him.
The two rolled together on the ground.
The main referee held his whistle in his mouth, ready to blow at any moment.
But he didn’t blow and made a gesture indicating an advantage for the attacking side.
Because a figure had already leapt over the fallen Adriano and the opposing center-back.
And while jumping in the air, he also extended a leg to stop the football.
A spectacular mid-air control over the obstacle!
The football was almost perfectly brought to a halt.
After landing, it was only one meter away from the player.
This was world-class ball control!
This was Bogkamp’s ballet dance certificate!
This was Deng Kai’s control!
Thump!
After landing, Deng Kai’s left foot pushed off, and his right foot flicked the football with an outside-of-the-foot volley!
It was a tight-angle shot.
And he was aiming for the far corner.
The football passed the goalkeeper’s hands, and it seemed it would miss the goal.
But the inherent curve forced the football back on course.
Ding!
The football hit the far post and deflected into the net.
The next moment, Maine Road Stadium instantly erupted!
"Perfect control of the ball! This is almost an impossible feat! Lehmann, as a goalkeeper, actually pulled off a flat pass, ah no... provided an assist for a brace!"
"He delivered a superb long pass from the backfield for Deng Kai’s fantastic four goals!"
"Seven to zero! Manchester City’s form today is terrifying! I feel that even if Arsenal were here, they’d likely not leave unscathed!"
"Adriano is complaining about the opponent’s center-back... Sure enough, the referee has shown the center-back a yellow card."
"Had the foul taken place inside the box, it would have been a red card. Their defensive actions are outrageous!"
The 88th minute.
The match is nearing its end.
Adriano’s shot hits an opponent, winning a corner kick.
Substitute Ashley Young has been given the chance to take the corner.
This is not an accident.
Ashley Young’s crossing ability is among the best in Manchester City!
Just ask how reasonable that is!
Not only that, but his speed, shooting, dribbling, and through balls are all top-tier during team testing.
This once made Manchester City’s players wonder if Watford had any understanding of football at all.
But later they understood why Watford let go of Ashley Young.
Because the player’s mental capacity wasn’t sufficient.
Ashley Young: ???
Yes, that’s the look of confusion he always has.
In a real match, he can’t handle multiple situations at the same time, can’t utilize all his strengths simultaneously.
When he accelerates, he doesn’t dribble.
When dribbling, he won’t cross.
When crossing, he loses his vision.
When observing, he can’t shoot.
When shooting, he must come to a stop.
His CPU isn’t up to snuff.
It’s an unsolvable issue.
Unless you find some kind of wonder drug to boost his brain, he’s just a slow player wasting his talent.
But does such a drug really exist?
The birds at Old Trafford Stadium: If I may say so, not to brag, but our bird droppings cure all diseases!
Bang!
Ashley Young takes the corner kick.
This is the state where he can maximize his passing ability, with nobody interfering.
Therefore, the football traces a beautiful arc.
It’s almost aimed right at the tall Grosso’s head.
Adriano’s side is too crowded, with him and the Wickham defenders really going at it... Grosso, on the other hand, is rather unmarked.
Bang!
Grosso heads the ball towards the goal.
The football flies to the far lower side.
Unfortunately, the football veers off target.
Bang!
Deng Kai stretches out his leg outside the far end of the goal.
The football hits the inside of Deng Kai’s foot and rebounds into the goal.
This is a completely instinctive reaction.
It showcases a player’s offensive instinct and shooting quality.
This kind of reaction is enough to make future players like Lukaku, Sterling, Resus, Shubo Morting, and many others envy.
Deng Kai starts rushing toward the corner area.
This game has been incredibly enjoyable!
His touch on the ball is explosively good!
The opposition is terrifyingly weak!
His teammates aren’t too silly!
Everything is the best possible arrangement!
As Deng Kai leaps high and descends like a god from the heavens,
all the Manchester City fans shout together: "Siuuuuu!"
Boom!
The whole stadium awakens the entire city of Manchester.
People start looking towards a certain direction in Manchester, frowning.
