Chapter 819 God helps Manchester

United David Silva's pass was very beautiful, with a strange arc and a precise landing point.

But Su Dong’s subsequent handling was even more amazing.

When the ball fell towards his side, Su Dong used his body to block the defensive player while using his heel to stop the ball.

The football flying from the center line actually listened to him and was stopped directly. During the whole process, he kept rushing forward, so after stopping the ball, the players defending him were still blocked behind him. Su Dong pushed the ball into the goal in a single shot and scored another goal for Manchester City.

Two to zero! Ferguson stood up in surprise again.

That moment just happened so fast that he didn't see clearly what happened.

I just felt that after the ball flew over, Su Dong actually maintained the forward momentum when he stopped the ball, and the ball was stopped by him.

How did they do it? Soon, a slow-motion replay of the entire goal-scoring process appeared on the big screen at the scene.

It turned out to be the heel!

Ferguson sat back in his seat with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

Manchester United also has players with outstanding skills, some of whom can stop the ball with their heels.

But it is basically impossible to achieve the same level as Su Dong, especially to do it so casually and effortlessly.

Not to mention the current Manchester United, even when Cristiano Ronaldo was there, it probably wouldn't have been possible.

"How on earth did he do that?" Ferguson muttered to himself.

Mike Perrin misunderstood Ferguson's meaning, "It's actually not difficult to stop the ball with your heel..."

"No, no, no, Mike, you don't understand the key point. His height and strength are so outstanding, and his speed and explosiveness are so amazing. How can his footwork be so delicate?"

"How did he do that?"

Mike Perrin was suddenly speechless.

This should be the answer that all football fans in the world want to know, right? Who doesn't want to play like Su Dong? But the problem is, there is only one Su Dong in the world! "In the derby in midweek, if we can't handle Su Dong, the game will be very difficult!" Ferguson said worriedly.

When Manchester United challenged Manchester City away, Ferguson could foresee that the team would still be at a disadvantage in terms of ball possession, or even an absolute disadvantage.

This is normal.

Not to mention this season, even last season, there were almost no teams in the Premier League that could compete with Manchester City in terms of ball possession.

If Arsenal had not received a red card in the fourth minute this season, would they have been able to beat Manchester City in terms of ball possession? With a lower ball possession rate, Su Dong would have had more chances, which would have been a serious problem for Manchester United's defense, as they had no one who could defend Su Dong.

Ferguson is thinking about this matter now.

In the past few encounters with Su Dong, Vidic and Ferdinand both lost in direct dialogues. What about this time?

To some extent, Manchester City's passing and controlling style of play is not invincible. The truly invincible one is Su Dong!

Ferguson had to admit that with more opportunities in the passing and controlling style of play, Su Dong would be more terrifying than ever before, even more than when he was at Barcelona.

At that time, Su Dong did not have such strong personal ability and competition experience as now! Now Su Dong's personal strength, competition experience, physical condition, and football awareness have all reached their peak at the same time.

How to defend against such a Sudong? ...

After scoring two goals in a row, Manchester City's morale was high and they almost dominated West Bromwich Albion.

This made the fans of the Knickers very dissatisfied, and there was deafening booing at the scene.

But this did not prevent Manchester City from constantly creating opportunities.

In the 37th minute, Manchester City made a breakthrough on the right. Milner made a cross from the right and sent the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Su Dong chased after him and volleyed the ball into the air.

But just as Su Dong kicked the ball, West Bromwich Albion's central defender also kicked forward almost at the same time.

As a result, Su Dong kicked the ball first, but the ball hit the leg of the West Bromwich defender and did not fly towards the goal, but the defender's foot kicked Su Dong's right foot solidly.

The two men kicked each other in mid-air. Both of them were wearing football boots, but it still hurt a lot.

After feeling a pain, Su Dong immediately sat down on the court, while the opponent lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Players from both teams quickly gathered around, and the referee immediately signaled for the team doctors of both teams to enter the field.

"It was just a little bit close. If Su Dong had kicked the ball correctly, the ball would have gone in again. Every shot of this kid is aimed at the blind corner. Damn it!" Ferguson in the stands was a little helpless.

When playing against Su Dong, every time Ferguson saw him kick the ball, he would be frightened for a while.

On the contrary, that kick was very normal in football matches, and Ferguson didn't take it seriously. Basically, it would be fine after a slight treatment by the team doctor.

In fact, there was really no problem with West Bromwich Albion's central defender and he stood up quickly.

But Su Dong limped off the field with the help of the team doctor.

"What's going on?" Ferguson was surprised at first, and then an irrepressible joy surged in his heart.

Su Dong is injured? Oh my god, although this is a bit unfair, it is definitely good news.

Ferguson and Mike Perrin both looked at Su Dong leaving the field and felt that his limping did not seem fake.

The key point is that Guardiola made a substitution quickly, with Santa Cruz replacing Sudong.

"It seems that Su Dong was injured after the kick just now. I wonder how serious his injury is?" the commentator on the scene also said.

This is also Ferguson's biggest concern.

…

With Santa Cruz replacing Su Dong, Manchester City still maintained the advantage on the field, but the offense was obviously weakened a lot.

Santa Cruz is better at guerrilla warfare, and seizing points is his forte, but when it comes to attacking strongholds, he is really not good at it.

However, Manchester City's tactics meant that they were fighting offensive positional battles in many cases during the game. As a center forward, he could neither cooperate delicately with Di Maria, David Silva and others like Su Dong, nor had a strong body to suppress the opponent's defenders, so Manchester City's attack was curbed.

The most typical example was in the 52nd minute, when David Silva sent a surgical-like through pass into the penalty area. If it was Su Dong, he could shoot directly after stopping the ball, and at the very least it would definitely be a shooting opportunity.

But when Santa Cruz stopped the ball, he stopped it too far and the ball was caught by the goalkeeper who came out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Five minutes later, David Silva received a half-high ball from Marcelo, made a 180-degree turn when he stopped the ball, shook off the defender, and passed the ball to Santa Cruz.

As a result, the Paraguayan center forward was offside when he came in from behind.

Both were great opportunities, but both were missed.

If this were Su Dong, it would probably be a hat trick.

Ferguson now sees more clearly why people outside say that Manchester City is two completely different teams with and without Su Dong.

"Mike, when you go back, immediately arrange for someone to check it out. I want to know clearly the extent of Su Dong's injuries." Ferguson said solemnly.

This is even more important than any other tactics! If Su Dong is really injured, it will be great news for Manchester United.

…………

…………

Manchester City eventually defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0.

Su Dong only played for more than half an hour before he was injured and left the field.

At the post-match press conference, Guardiola was also very secretive about Su Dong's injury when answering reporters' questions. He said that it was not clear at the moment and that a more detailed examination was needed after returning to Manchester.

"I can't tell now whether he can make it to the derby in midweek!"

Guardiola looked helpless and bitter.

After being defeated twice by Manchester United last season, Manchester City has defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea this season. If they can beat Manchester United again, they will have completed their counterattack against all the strong teams.

But at this moment, Su Dong was injured.

Su Dong’s injury is equivalent to cutting off at least half of Manchester City’s offensive firepower. How can Guardiola be willing to accept this?

In McDonald's opposite the stadium, Ferguson and his two companions hid behind the window, staring at Manchester City's bus.

It was not until long after the game that Manchester City players were seen coming out one after another.

Su Dong, supported by Pepe and David Silva, limped out of the player tunnel and boarded the team bus, his right ankle wrapped in an extremely eye-catching white bandage.

"It seems that he is really injured!" Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Due to Su Dong's injury, Manchester City's offensive power has been greatly reduced. This is definitely great news for Manchester United, who will be visiting the Etihad Stadium next.

"I really didn't expect that a common foot contact in a football match would injure Manchester City's strongest attacking point." Mike Perrin himself found it unbelievable.

This is simply God's help for Manchester United!

"Su Dong tried his best to kick the ball, and the opponent also wanted to stop him. I guess both of them tried their best. But unfortunately, Su Dong hit the instep of his foot." Ferguson could roughly imagine the situation at that time.

"Guardiola is in trouble now!" Mike Perrin laughed.

Ferguson was also in a good mood and smiled. "However, we still can't be careless. There are still a few days before the game. After you go back, you have to arrange for people to keep a close eye on Manchester City's movements."

The training bases of Manchester United and Manchester City are right next door. If Manchester United really wants to spy on intelligence, there are many ways to do it.

"After we go back, we should study it carefully and draw up a plan as soon as possible to deal with Manchester City without Su Dong." Mike Perrin suggested with a smile.

Ferguson nodded.

Without Su Dong, Manchester City's strength is still not weak, but at least not as terrifying.

Moreover, Manchester United has played against Barcelona many times, and Arsenal in the Premier League also plays in this style, so Ferguson believes he has quite a bit of experience in dealing with this kind of passing and controlling style of play.

As long as Su Dong does not play, Ferguson believes that Manchester United can still achieve something away from home.

At least I can get away with it safely.
