Chapter 777: Su Dong was transformed?

Sunderland was greatly stimulated after Sudon assisted Di Maria to score a goal.

The head coach Steve Bruce on the sidelines was a passionate English man who kept directing the team, ordering the players to continue attacking Manchester City and exert more powerful pressing pressure.

Sunderland was like a wounded savage. Instead of making him feel scared or afraid, the bleeding further stimulated his savagery and he continued to launch a more fierce counterattack against Manchester City.

But Sunderland's counterattack is doomed to be short-lived, because under Manchester City's passing and controlling system, their physical energy consumption will become more and more serious, and they may even be exhausted and at the mercy of others in the end.

Just ten minutes later, Manchester City launched another attack.

After Toni Kroos got the ball in his own half, he looked forward and quickly made a long pass, directly to the right side of the penalty area in the frontcourt. Sanchez rushed forward at the fastest speed and rushed straight into the penalty area.

After the ball landed on the right side of the penalty area, Sanchez was chased and disturbed by Richardson all the way, but goalkeeper Minowright took the lead, left the goal, jumped high, and picked the ball out of mid-air.

Sanchez jumped a step too slow and missed a very good opportunity.

Richardson was born in Manchester United. After coming to Sunderland, he has always been the main player of the team. At the age of 26, he is in the best form of his career and is very active.

After blocking Sanchez, he immediately ran to the left.

Minowright quickly threw the ball to Richardson.

The former Manchester United player stopped the ball and took a few steps forward, trying to plan an attack.

But at this time, Su Dong had already run to the left side, trying to plug Sanchez's loophole and put pressure on Sunderland's ball-holding players in time to delay the Black Cats' counterattack.

Sanchez in front also ran back immediately after his attack was frustrated.

There was no defensive player within ten meters around Richardson, but he felt the pressure from Su Dong and Sanchez.

Perhaps it was because he was not confident enough in his own skills, or perhaps it was for some other reason, anyway, his choice was to kick the ball back to the center back Bramble behind him without waiting for the two men to get close.

Logically speaking, there aren't many problems with this kind of pass.

The real problem was that he wanted to avoid Sanchez, so he passed the ball in front of Bramble, but this gave Su Dong another very good opportunity.

The moment Richardson passed the ball, Su Dong realized that the ball was approaching him.

So he gave up pressing Richardson at the first moment and turned around and rushed directly towards Bramble.

When Bramble saw Richardson pass the ball in front of him on the penalty area line, he could only run forward.

Unexpectedly, Su Dong was even faster, like a flash of lightning, rushing straight to him from the left in an instant. Before he stopped the ball, he took a step forward and intercepted the ball, leaving Bramble empty-handed.

Everyone knows that this kind of successful frontal interception is often the most terrifying.

Because you can launch an attack directly.

After snatching the ball, Su Dong rushed directly into the penalty area.

Bramble reacted quickly and entangled Su Dong in the first moment.

But Su Dong suddenly stopped, quickly passed the ball to his left foot from his right foot, and moved horizontally to the top of the arc. He relied on his skillful footwork to control the ball steadily.

When Su Dong rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, Michael Turner could no longer hold back and rushed straight towards Su Dong. He and Bramble blocked Su Dong head-on, fearing that Su Dong would get another chance to shoot.

Everyone knows that the front of the penalty area is already within Su Dong's shooting range.

In front of him were two tall and strong central defenders, and behind him were Henderson and Cutmore who were chasing all the way back. Su Dong was once again surrounded, and the scene seemed familiar.

But this time, he first made an abrupt stop, held the ball firmly, and then made a fake move, pretending to kick the ball, causing Michael Turner and Bramble to misjudge, and then he gently sent a diagonal pass with his left foot.

The ball passed between the two central defenders Turner and Bramble and landed on the right side of the goal.

Sanchez, who had been ready to go, was like a rocket at this time. He ran diagonally from behind Bramble to the right side of the penalty area at an extremely fast speed. He did not stop the ball at all, but shot directly with his right foot, sending Su Dong's pass directly into Sunderland's goal.

After scoring the goal, Sanchez roared and jumped up on the spot, looking extremely excited.

"Manchester City! Manchester City scored again!!!"

"In just ten minutes, Manchester City scored two goals in a row!"

"Another wonderful assist from Su Dong!"

"It's amazing! Manchester City made two quick counterattacks in just ten minutes and broke through Sunderland's goal. All of them were wonderful assists from Su Dong!"

The entire Stadium of Light was filled with boos.

Sunderland fans were quite dissatisfied with the result, especially with Sudon's performance.

It's so depressing, isn't it?

Our players have obviously worked so hard, been so diligent and dedicated, so why is it that Manchester City always scores the goals?

This is simply unbearable! After Sanchez scored the goal, he quickly rushed to the sidelines.

Su Dong also chased after him immediately. After they double-clapped their hands in the corner area, they hugged each other tightly. Su Dong even touched Sanchez's head with a smile.

He is about 1.7 meters tall, which just matches Su Dong's height.

The other Manchester City players also rushed up and surrounded the two.

"Since the start of the game, Manchester City's passing and controlling style of play was indeed disrupted by Sunderland, but Sunderland also paid a heavy price for this, especially in terms of physical fitness and defensive formation. After Manchester City recovered, they created threats in two consecutive attacks and scored goals."

"Su Dong's assists were quite clever. Whether it was the pass to Di Maria or the assist to Sanchez, they all showed Su Dong's superb personal strength. He created opportunities for his teammates through passing the ball under the pressure of the defensive players."

"It is worth mentioning that after two assists tonight, Su Dong has made five assists in the Premier League this season, surpassing Drogba and ranking first in the assist list, even more than his goals."

"So far, Su Dong has only scored four goals in the Premier League."

"I have to say that this is something very new. We even have reason to worry that under Guardiola's transformation, Su Dong will gradually change his scoring characteristics and increase his passes and assists?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"In this case, countless fans will definitely feel regretful."

…

Su Dong transformed into a tactical center?

Stop kidding! Even if Su Dong is willing, Manchester City management will not accept his transformation. Even Guardiola doesn't want him to do so. The reason is very simple. Manchester City needs goals from Su Dong more than ever.

You know, one of the important reasons why Manchester City's offense was weak last season was the center forward.

Santa Cruz performed well in Blackburn. He is tall, fast and has good footwork, but he is not strong enough. He is a typical South American center forward with a keen sense of scoring in front of the goal and certain ability to hold the ball and pass the ball, but his ability to play with his back and in physical confrontation is very poor.

After getting the ball with his back to the basket, he has almost no ability to turn around and get rid of it.

The players on both sides, whether it is Di Maria and Sanchez, or Adam Johnson and Wright Phillips, are all very good assisters and wing attackers who can create enough shooting opportunities for the frontcourt.

In this way, all the pressure of scoring goals fell on Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz is good at grabbing points, has excellent heading ability and a keen sense of smell, but attacking is not his strong point. Once he falls into the opponent's dense encirclement, he will immediately surrender and have no way out.

As a result, Manchester City had a very obvious advantage in ball possession and played very actively on both wings, but they scored very few goals.

There would even often be an embarrassing situation where Manchester City had the upper hand but failed to score, and was finally defeated by a counterattack from the opponent.

Without exception, these are all caused by lack of offensive power.

Because of this, after the introduction of Su Dong this season, Manchester City's entire offensive situation was completely opened up.

In terms of scoring ability, Su Dong is much better than Santa Cruz; in terms of footwork, Su Dong is much more delicate than Santa Cruz; in terms of physical strength confrontation, Su Dong even crushes Santa Cruz.

As a world-class center, Su Dong is very good at catching the ball with his back to the basket and turning around to get rid of the opponent.

Therefore, it is obvious that after Su Dong joined Manchester City, the entire offensive level has improved by leaps and bounds and has been transformed, which in turn has driven the team's overall performance, leading to this series of consecutive victories at the beginning of this season.

In this case, even if Su Dong himself is willing to transform, Manchester City’s management and Guardiola will never allow him to transform.

If nothing else, do they want to repeat the same mistake as last season?

…………

…………

With Manchester City scoring consecutive goals, Steve Bruce finally had no choice but to choose to defend. He really couldn't let his team be exposed to Manchester City's fire like this again.

As Sunderland strengthened their defense, Manchester City's attack was curbed.

During the half-time break, Steve Bruce replaced two players at once. First, he strengthened the team's defense, and at the same time replaced him with Welbeck, who was loaned from Manchester United, to focus on counterattacks.

Steve Bruce's intention of making the substitution was very clear, which was to continue to defend tightly and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City continued to firmly control the ball and the situation on the field, patiently consuming Sunderland, constantly looking for opportunities, and ready to give the opponent the most fatal blow at any time.

It was not until the 63rd minute that Sanchez made a forced breakthrough on the right and kicked the ball into Richardson's leg before the baseline. The ball bounced out of the baseline and earned a corner kick opportunity for Manchester City.

David Silva ran over and took the corner kick.

Several tall players of Manchester City also came to Sunderland's penalty area, making the already crowded penalty area even more crowded.
