The strongest blade in football

Chapter 124 Fighting Together
The second half started, and the Timisoara players returned to the field talking and laughing. They drew with Manchester City at half-time and were very satisfied with the result.

In the next 45 minutes, Timisoara will continue the defensive counterattack tactics. As long as Manchester City can not score away goals, then there is hope for Manchester City in the next round.

If you are lucky, you can steal one in this game, maybe you can step on Manchester City's shoulders and enter the Europa League group stage!
The players of Timisoara are looking forward to it!

After the restart, City were a little better than they were in the first half, but only a little.

Limited by the weather and venue, they could not play a smooth offense.

Timisoara did not fully retreat to the penalty area of ​​the squatting pit. They left the two forwards Margiela and Axont in front, and made a long pass from time to time, occasionally threatening Manchester City's half.

They also have experienced Cosmin Contra rushing in to "help out" from time to time.

Contra stayed in both AC Milan and Atletico Madrid in his early years, and the name "Left Carlos, Right Contra" was not in vain.

He has a more brilliant dribbling than a winger, excellent assist ability, and a perfect arc cross, which happens to deliver shells for the double forwards.

The score between the two sides has remained at 0 to 0.

Until the 59th minute of the second half, Mancini replaced the underperforming David Silva and Brazilian striker Ruo according to the arrangement during the intermission.

David Silva looked very frustrated. He came to Manchester City and did not play to the level he should have in the two official games.

Wang Nuo and Balotelli were sent on the field at the same time, and Adam Johnson was replaced at halftime. Mancini had already played all the cards in his hand.

"You play Silva's position."

Wang Nuo was a little surprised by Mancini's request before Wang Nuo played.

Silva's position this time is a full-back. Wang Nuo thought he would replace Tevez. The Argentine's state in this game is quite average.

He would be more comfortable playing winger and centre-forward, and Mancini knew that.

Wang Nuo thinks that it is possible to change to 433, strengthen the offense, and add Tevez and Balotelli in the frontcourt. Isn't this trident picture amazing!

It's a pity that it can't be changed, Mancini only intends to adjust the alignment.

"Good boss!"

Wang Nuo has self-knowledge, it would be nice to play in the Europa League, but Adebayor and Wright Phillips are both sitting on the bench!
Balotelli stood on the sideline, and he beckoned Karl from the logistics team to approach him, although Kidd and another staff member were already standing beside him.

Three people surrounded him, one was in charge of taking off his vest and dripping eye drops, the other was helping him tie his shoelaces tightly, while assistant coach Kidd was next to his ear to explain the tactical layout.

After nearly 1 minute, Manchester City finally completed the substitution.

Two new aids who add up to less than 40 years old have joined forces!

Four months later, Wang Nuo set foot on the Europa League again.

Wang Nuo ran on the field for a while, passed the ball a few times and found that the field was even worse than when he came yesterday.

Especially the 23 meters wide area on both sides of the middle circle is not smooth at all.

No wonder Silva can't pass the ball well.

However, things always have pros and cons. Timisoara's ground offense was also affected, and they also couldn't make a wonderful cooperation.

He felt that his teammates made a preconceived mistake in this game, that is, they did not take their opponents seriously.

Although there are many stars in the team, the cup game is not like a league game. It is not a simple game where the big fish eat the small fish, and the strong team beats the weak team. This mentality makes them slack off the game and wastes time.

So Wang Nuo decided to use more running to attack them, actively fight and win the initiative.

Soon, Wang Nuo became a beautiful landscape on the field, the most "crazy" player in the Manchester City team.

Wang Nuo is very desperate and aggressive on the court, winning confrontations constantly, even though his strengths are technique and dribbling.

He can throw his whole body out and slide to save a sideline.

You can also pounce on every opponent that enters your zone.

He can also counter-snap the ball, launch an attack from the midfield, and then rush to the penalty area at the right time to shoot.

The originally lukewarm game rhythm was stirred up by him alone, and even the teammates on the bench and the coaching staff were stunned.

"What stimulated him?"

"I don't know, but this style of play is scary. He doesn't rest for a moment. The physical strength of ordinary people can't last half a game."

Looking at Wang Nuo's figure, Brian Kidd remembered an old friend of the Red Devils.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Balotelli ran out of an obvious gap, and Wang Nuo followed him, hoping to provide some support.

Balotelli left Shepshi behind and rushed straight into the penalty area.

Wang Nuo also saw several teammates in white jerseys waiting for an opportunity, but what made people anxious was that the ball was at De Jong's feet.

"Pass! Pass!" Mancini yelled at De Jong, who seemed to be dazed, from the touchline.

Wang Nuo ran towards De Jong, got the ball, and rescued the overwhelmed Dutchman. He saw Balotelli, who was already deep in the penalty area, and took a risk to pick an overhead pass.

The football flew over the head of Timisoara defender No. 4 Luzien, but it didn't land well and passed behind the Italian.

Balotelli couldn't stop and shoot comfortably and had to turn around and control the ball first.

Two defenders in the penalty area immediately stepped forward to block Balotelli's running route and blocked his shooting angle.

The eyes of the audience were all on No. 45 in Timisoara's penalty area. This position was too close to the goal, but fortunately the defense had been done securely enough.

Balotelli deserves to be the world's top rising star. He didn't choose to stop and protect the ball like an ordinary striker, but used his arch to volley the ball back to Wang Nuo!
Then, he quickly turned around and ran laterally in the restricted area, pointing his finger at the ground in front of him!
Wang Nuo received the ball at the top of the penalty area, understood it, and immediately passed it to Balotelli again.

The two actually played wall-to-wall cooperation in the restricted area!

Manchester City's bench players have all stood up, and Mancini also took out his other hand from his pocket, clenched his fist tightly, ready to celebrate the goal!
Wang Nuo's straight pass was much more comfortable than the pass just now. Balotelli just ran to the position. He faced Sisovsky and the rushing goalkeeper. He didn't stop the ball to adjust, and directly shot low .

The football flew into the net against the left post!
The ball is in!
In this difficult away game, Manchester City took the lead 1-0 with Balotelli's goal!
After scoring the goal, Balotelli was not very excited. He grinned and just stood there, taking two steps slowly.

Yaya Toure, Kompany, Lescott and other teammates came up to hug each other, and Wang Nuo also rushed over.

When Balotelli saw Wang Nuo, his smile became brighter. Now he likes this good Chinese buddy more and more!
In his eyes, Wang Nuo is magnanimous, loyal, and pleasant to speak. He is also "under" Mino, and he can pass good shots to himself!
Simply a perfect partner!

And Wang Nuo received an assist and was very satisfied.

He knew in his heart that Balotelli could seize this opportunity.

If you had just switched to Mabokani or Camargo from Standard Liege, there would be no follow-up for the first overhead pass, and you would get a thumb at most.

"You can do it! This ball is really good!" Wang Nuo admired from the bottom of his heart.

Balotelli held Wang Nuo's head in his hands and shook it vigorously. He laughed loudly, "Cannelloni for a week!"

"What did you say?" Wang Nuo didn't respond.

"I say, cannelloni for a week!"

Balotelli rubbed his stomach, "Roberto always keeps his word, let's finish this game quickly!"

　There are a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I will take a day off. Of course, if I can come back in the evening, I will update as soon as possible.
