Chapter 823 The Premier League has changed!
The ball was passed back and forth outside the 30-meter area of Manchester United.
After Toni Kroos got the ball, he looked forward and tried to pass it, but all he saw were Manchester United players in red jerseys. Only in the distance could he vaguely see a tall and burly figure in a sky blue jersey and white shorts.
That's Su Dong! Manchester City's beacon! A lot of calculations flashed through Toni Kroos' mind in an instant. He felt that if he passed the ball, there would be at least two or three Manchester United defenders who could block it. There was a high probability that the ball would not reach Su Dong's feet.
So, after a feint, the German midfielder pulled the ball back and took two steps horizontally to the left.
David Silva is very familiar with Toni Kroos. They knew each other as early as when Su Dong played for Bayern.
After coming to Manchester City, the two of them were midfield partners again. They got along well with each other and quickly established a tacit understanding.
When Toni Kroos dribbled the ball sideways, David Silva knew that this was encouragement from the German midfielder.
Toni Kroos is not good at dribbling the ball, so he actively moves to the middle, which means he is telling David Silva to move forward boldly, because I am behind you!
David Silva did not hesitate and quickly ran to the empty space in front.
Sure enough, Toni Kroos' pass came to David Silva.
When the Spanish midfielder stopped the ball, he moved diagonally to almost the top of the arc, rushed forward with the ball, and tried to get directly behind Carrick, but his eyes were always fixed on Su Dong in front of him.
After several failed attempts to attack the left side of the penalty area, Su Dong changed his strategy and moved to the middle and right side of the penalty area.
Everyone knows that he is also very threatening when he cuts in from the right and shoots with his left foot.
When David Silva rushed to the outside of the penalty area, Ferdinand finally could not stay in the penalty area anymore and took the initiative to rush forward, but the Spanish midfielder took the lead and passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty spot with his left foot.
Su Dong seized the best position in the penalty area and blocked Vidic with his body in time.
He knew very well that he only had one chance.
When stopping the ball, he had to make a decision, left or right? His back blocked Vidic, and through physical contact, he could vaguely guess that Vidic was more on guard against him turning to the right, that is, in the direction of the center, so that he could directly shoot with his left foot after turning around.
But do we really want to do this?
Su Dong did not hesitate. When David Silva passed the ball to him, he made a movement as if he was going to turn to the right. Vidic behind him was so scared that he also changed his position, ready to block Su Dong's left foot shot at any time.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong's left foot did not stop the ball in the middle, but stopped directly, pulled the ball behind him, and suddenly turned to his left, that is, the right side.
This sudden change surprised Vidic. He found that he had misjudged the ball. The first thing that flashed through his mind was: Damn, isn't his right foot injured? Su Dong suddenly turned around and quickly moved forward from Vidic's side.
The Serbian center back also turned around at the first moment, although he was a little slow, but as long as Su Dong shot with his left foot, he could stop it at any time.
Van der Sar also attacked immediately, trying to block Su Dong's near corner.
Obviously, both Manchester United players expected that Su Dong's right foot was injured, so they were focusing on his left foot.
But after Su Donggang passed Vidic, he quickly caught up with the football, stopped, adjusted, and when he saw Van der Sar attacking the right corner of the small penalty area, he quickly and lightly shot with his right foot.
Su Dong deliberately controlled his right foot, and he clearly felt the instep of his right foot touch the football.
The ball was picked up by Su Dong. It seemed light, but it just passed over Van der Sar's head and fell into the goal behind him.
Ferdinand chased all the way back and this time went straight behind Van der Sar. Before Su Dong's shot fell into the goal, he kicked up and tried to block Su Dong's shot.
But the result was that both the man and the ball crashed directly into his own goal.
After Ferdinand raised the ball, it hit the top of the net and still fell within the goal line.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"
"In the final moments of the game, Manchester City finally broke the deadlock on the field!"
"This is a complete and utter kill!"
"Su Dong scored the first goal for Manchester City after coming on as a substitute!"
"With this goal, Manchester City will beat Manchester United and take all three points at home."
"This is the value of a world-class superstar! He can always turn the tide and save the team from danger at the critical moment!"
"Unbelievable! It's really unbelievable!"
"Su Dong still used his injured right foot to make such a lob shot, breaking through Manchester United's goal and defeating their city rivals."
Amid the overwhelming cheers from the entire Etihad Stadium, Su Dong ran all the way to the sidelines.
He actually didn't run very fast, but the fans in the stadium were cheering and shouting his name at the top of their lungs.
"Sudong! Sudong!! Sudong!!!"
Su Dong rushed to the sidelines, pointed at the fans in the stands, and finally kissed the ring on his left hand hard.
His teammates also rushed over and surrounded him.
"That's great, Sue!"
"Su, you are so awesome!"
“This goal came at the right time.”
"Oh my god, Ferguson must be completely confused now. Is your right foot really injured?"
"Haha, Su Dong, I really admire you!"
His teammates congratulated Su Dong on his goal.
Everyone gathered on the sidelines and accepted the cheers and applause from more than 40,000 Manchester City fans.
This is definitely something to be proud of for them! Manchester United is not only Manchester City's mortal enemy, but also a mountain that Manchester City has been unable to reach in the past few years.
Countless times, Manchester City fans have longed for the team to beat its city rivals on the field, but have been disappointed every time. Now, tonight, the team finally has the opportunity to realize this desire.
What a wonderful feeling it is!
After so many years, Manchester City has finally risen! The Blue Moon finally has a chance to challenge its city rivals! They even began to think that this team has a chance to beat Manchester United and win the first Premier League championship in the club's history, and also the third top league championship in the club's history.
Although it is still insignificant compared to other rivals in the same city, it is a strong signal.
Today's Manchester City is no longer the weak team that was at the mercy of others, but has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Premier League.
At least in this season's Premier League, Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United. Even though the match against Arsenal was 3-3, in fact, everyone felt that Manchester City won.
Arsenal failed to beat Manchester City despite having such an overwhelming advantage, which is a defeat in itself.
The top four teams last season all fell to Manchester City. Is there any more convincing record than this?
…
Ferguson cursed angrily on the sidelines, turned around angrily, and kicked the water bottle in front of him away.
“Damn it!”
He simply had the urge to rush over, grab Su Dong and beat him up.
Is there anyone who plays football like you?
Isn't your right foot injured? How can you still shoot?
Looking up at the big screen in the stadium, which was replaying the slow-motion footage of the game, it could be clearly seen that the moment Su Dong turned and passed Vidic, his explosive power was really fast and the Serbian central defender was thrown away in an instant.
After all, Vidic is a world-class central defender. After being thrown off by Su Dong, he still stuck to the inside. As long as Su Dong shot with his left foot, he could immediately block it. But who would have thought that Su Dong actually shot with his right foot.
"Is this guy still human? How can he be so calm?" Ferguson was very angry.
This series of actions by Su Dong certainly could not have been prepared in advance, because the situation on the field changes rapidly, who knows how the defenders and goalkeeper will deal with it?
But if it comes to playing on the spot, isn't this too calm? "His right foot is indeed injured." Mike Perrin looked at the real-time data and said to Ferguson.
Ferguson turned his head and looked at his assistant suspiciously.
"You see, although Su Dong is very proficient with both feet, and some people even say that his left foot is as flexible as his right foot, in fact, when playing football, he sometimes subconsciously uses his right foot. This is a habit developed over the years. But tonight he used his right foot significantly less, which limited his performance."
"And if you look at the success rate, he doesn't have many chances to touch the ball, but he has already made three mistakes, all with his right foot. This would never have happened before. This can only prove that his right foot is indeed injured."
When he said this, Mike Perrin sighed helplessly.
He had something to say, but looking at Ferguson, he couldn't say it.
Su Dong defeated Manchester United with his injured right foot! Ferguson sat in the coaching booth in frustration, looking up, trying to calm down.
The game on the field resumed.
Manchester United players began to attack and tried to launch a wave of attacks in an effort to equalize the score, but the ball was in Manchester City's hands. It was imaginable how difficult it would be for Manchester United to press forward.
Even Manchester City won't give Manchester United such a chance.
After taking the lead, Manchester City began to play more steadily and paid more attention to protecting the midfield and backcourt.
But the three attacking players in the front court were ready to launch a sharp counterattack at any time and give Manchester United the most fatal blow.
In this situation, Manchester United's attack can only be a lot of noise but little results.
The game was over from the moment Su Dong scored against Manchester United.
Su Dong's lob shot not only penetrated Manchester United's goal, but also crushed Manchester United's morale.
Knowing this, Ferguson no longer called on the team to press forward and attack, but just sat quietly in the coaching booth, staring blankly at the game on the field.
This was a miserable loss! But at the same time, he knew very well that it was difficult for Manchester United to suppress Manchester City now.
The Premier League has changed!
