The next fifteen minutes.
Manchester City blasted 11 shots, and their offensive power was terrifying.
Portsmouth's defensive players were numb.
Ten of their eleven players barely made it past halftime.
Completely suppressed by Manchester City.
"It's amazing! Manchester City's ball possession rate is as high as 82%!"
"Manchester City in this game and Manchester City in the last game are definitely two teams!"
"With the return of Deng Kai, Manchester City has become dominant in possession of the ball."
"If the increase in possession is not exaggerated, the number of forward passes, threatening passes and shots on goal is incredible."
"If Manchester City says they want to score goals, no one will doubt it."
"Even if they score a goal, it might not just be a goal."
"Now it's up to us how long Portsmouth can hold on."
In the twenty-fourth minute, Manchester City's offensive rhythm obviously accelerated.
Deng Kai even continuously used his outside instep to pass the ball without stopping the ball, helping Adriano to grab the shot and Ribery to cut inside and hit the goal.
But unfortunately, the former's shot hit the goalkeeper.
The latter's inward cut went wide again.
In the 32nd minute, Adriano, who had squandered the opportunity, passed back the ball and started to create opportunities.
Toure, who followed up from the back row, hit the post with a long shot.
This is the closest shot Manchester City has come to a goal so far.
As the game time entered forty minutes, Manchester City's number of shots had soared to twenty-five.
But they seemed to be lacking a little luck today.
On the other hand, Portsmouth's players had a very good mentality today.
They didn't think about scoring a goal or anything, they just stayed in front of the goal and refused to let Manchester City score.
One point is the most important goal of their trip.
In the 44th minute, Ribery cut inside and took a free kick from a distance.
Deng Kai took the penalty.
boom!
As Deng Kai made a pass, the football was lobbed into the opponent's penalty area.
Later point.
Adriano pushed away the defender, leaped high into the air, and slammed his bare head into the football.
"goal!"
"Adriano! He scored! This time he scored much earlier than last season!"
"One to zero, Manchester City finally broke Portsmouth's turtle shell!"
"It's really hard for Portsmouth to hold on for so long, but I guess they will be in trouble next."
Deng Kai went over to celebrate with Adriano: "That's it, let go and kick, you will score many, many goals."
Adriano nodded heavily.
It's been a year, and the Celtics have trusted him for a year.
This season, he must repay this trust with goal after goal.
The game then entered halftime.
Returning from midfield, Portsmouth made no substitutions but slightly changed their formation.
They still want to score after all.
They hope to recover a goal and then continue to defend.
As long as they score one goal, they are sure to withstand Manchester City's stormy attack.
Didn’t you almost get through it in the first half?
In the 49th minute, Deng Kai caught the ball and turned around to hold the opponent, and he passed back to find Chiellini in the double team.
Chiellini fired directly and sent the football flying into the stands with a long shot.
Chiellini scratched his bald head, feeling a little embarrassed.
But Deng Kai gave him a thumbs up.
As long as the meaning is right.
People only saw Chiellini flying away, but did not think about Chiellini's position.
Central defender!
When the opposing center back can take a long shot from the top of the arc, it shows how aggressive the offense is!
Chiellini's operation perfectly meets the requirements of Manchester City's tactics.
Manchester City has a complex set of rules regarding whether players can hold the ball, whether they can play tricks, and whether they should pass the ball as quickly as possible.
Every player is qualified to dribble, pass, and hit the goal for a long time.
But every player cannot be arrogant.
It depends on the position of the players, the position of teammates, and the position of opponents.
Chiellini had to complete a long shot at the first opportunity, and even if he missed it, he could not let the opponent hold, block or steal, so as to have a chance to counterattack.
In the 50th minute, Chiellini, who had just missed the ball, directly completed a steal.
Chiellini looks for Deng Kai.
Deng Kai's heel went directly to Ram who was on the edge.
Baggio decisively got into the middle and pulled away the opponent's right back.
Lahm's kick went straight to the front of the left wing.
Adrianola came out to catch the ball and shot one after another.
He hit an earth-shattering long shot directly from the outside of the left side of the penalty area.
Uh-huh!
The football penetrated the goal and penetrated into the net with great simplicity.
The opponent's goalkeeper only attacked half of the time and didn't even have time to make a save.
"Goal! It's Adriano again!"
"If I remember correctly, this is an extremely rare goal for Adriano to score twice!"
"Decisive! This shot is very decisive, nothing like Adriano before!"
"This position, this speed of kicking, and this determination to hit the goal, only super shooters have the courage to do so!"
"Adriano's shot was of a very high level. The key also shows that he is confident in his shot, which is particularly important."
"Because Adriano has always been criticized most for not being able to score goals."
"The whole world thinks he can't score goals, but he firmly believes that he can. This is very difficult and great!"
No wonder everyone thinks Ade is not good.
It is true that Adriano's data last season was really ugly.
He is also considered the main player of the team.
No fewer appearances than Rob Fowler.
As a result, Robbie Fowler scored more than 20 goals and provided almost ten assists last year.
He is a super striker comparable to Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo.
And Adriano did not reach double figures in goals or assists in the same games or even more games!
Not a league.
It’s because the three tiers of competition combined didn’t reach double figures.
Naturally, this kind of center cannot be trusted by the public.
But in fact, Adriano played a fulcrum style last season, and this data is very good.
It's a pity that Adriano's debut title was "the next Ronaldo", so people naturally have to use Ronaldo's standards to demand him.
Scoring has definitely become the only criterion by which everyone measures Ade.
In the 68th minute, Deng Kai made a horizontal pass from the outside of the penalty area.
Toure rushed over and fired a very bold volley.
Too bad the football went wide again.
In general, Manchester City's players are now all soldiers.
But most people are still lacking in key abilities.
This is very troublesome for other teams.
Midfielders and defenders always try to shoot, which greatly affects the scoring rate, and it is also easy to expose flaws on the defensive end.
But Manchester City doesn't exist.
Manchester City spent a season trying to solve the problem of defensive problems when midfielders get opportunities to attack.
[PS: This is outrageous. I felt dizzy the day before yesterday and had a low fever when I returned to Chengdu yesterday. I took a test when I got home today, and it turned out to be positive... I probably never want to go to Sanya again in my life, woohoo! 】
