Revenge On China's Soccer World, World Cup Helps Fight C La

On March 4, the Etihad Stadium was packed.

The 26th round of the Premier League kicks off here, with Manchester City hosting Premier League leaders Newcastle United.

For both sides of the game, this game is crucial.

If Newcastle United continue their winning streak, they will continue to hold their top spot.

If Manchester City cut Newcastle United in this game, Newcastle United leader position will likely be overtaken by Manchester United and Arsenal.

And their own league points will also further narrow the gap with Newcastle United.

Newcastle United's direct rivals, Manchester United, face a double red match as they take on Liverpool away from home.

Arsenal, on the other hand, host Bournemouth and are predicted to continue their winning streak in pre-match predictions.

The score of Newcastle United and Manchester City was a rare 1-1.

In the eyes of the Premier League media, after this round, Newcastle United will most likely lose their top spot.

Arsenal are the biggest winners of this round, as Manchester United's chance of winning against Liverpool is just over 50%.

Arsenal's winning percentage in this round once exceeded 70%.

After all, their opponents are Bournemouth, who are second from bottom in the league, while Newcastle United, Manchester City and Manchester United have all faced strong opponents.

......

After the start of the game, Newcastle United adopted the tactic of possession.

The Magpies, known for their offense and defense, played today's game without hurry.

Yuqin and his teammates are in no hurry to attack, the Etihad Stadium is Manchester City's home after all, and Newcastle United must be careful of Manchester City's rapid counterattack at all times.

After all, in Manchester City's team, there is Haaland, who is comparable to Yuqin.

Although Haaland is not a player known for his speed, his running ability is undoubtedly strong.

Coupled with his strong physical confrontation and goal-breaking sense, Manchester City's forward line is still a threat to Newcastle United's defence.

In the face of the steady Newcastle United, Manchester City is not in a hurry, and also slowed down their rhythm, and Yuqin and others slowly circled.

However, for Yuqin, Manchester City has also made corresponding deployments and arrangements.

Manchester City did not have a dedicated personnel to guard Yuqin, but instead defended him in the area.

When Yuqin looks for opportunities up front, inserts forward and organizes attacks, the likes of Haaland and De Bruyne actively "take care" of him.

If Yu Qin breaks through with the ball or runs without the ball, he has Manchester City's midfielders waiting for him in front of him.

For example, Manchester City's reliance on midfielder Rodri Hernandez has excellent defensive ability and caused Yuqin a lot of trouble.

If Yuqin can continue to go deeper, he still has Manchester City's solid backline in front of him, and there will definitely be more Manchester City players to "take care" of him at that time.

So after the start of the game, Manchester City did not have full-time personnel to keep an eye on Yuqin.

But Yuqin himself felt a little different, and this game his front court was more resistant!

Newcastle United's attack, of course, will also have a long pass system.

After all, Yuqin's speed is there, and there is a chance for a long pass, and Trippier and others will definitely not let it go.

However, with both sides playing steadily, Newcastle United could not find a chance to make a long pass.

At this time, long passes can only be used as a means of transferring football in a wide area, not as a way to threaten the opponent's goal, and long passes are suitable for defensive counterattacks.

However, Newcastle United have yet to enter the defence, let alone counter-attacking opportunities.

When Yuqin approached the Manchester City penalty area with the ball, Hernandez would immediately appear next to Yuqin, and Haaland actually came back to stare at Yuqin.

Haaland, one of the hottest stars in football today, is known for his ability to play against each other when attacking.

Even if a defender wants to commit a tactical foul on him, he has to weigh whether his body can eat Haaland.

In the Premier League, which emphasizes physical confrontation, Haaland's games have even seen examples of players defending him deliberately intercepting fouls to prevent themselves from the field.

The defensive player who deliberately committed a tactical foul was also given a yellow card warning from the referee when he was stretchered off the field because of the injury of Haaland on the rampage.

The picture at that time was simply not too funny, and Haaland, as the party concerned, did not even know why he was injured at the time.

His attacking style is a mudslide on the pitch, but Premier League fans love strikers like him.

Because fans hate the kind of player who rolls on the ground, if you have a performance component when you fight against the fall, then you will definitely be collectively spurned by the Premier League fans.

For stadium "actors", Premier League fans have always had zero tolerance.

Just now, Yuqin may have been just forty meters away from the Manchester City goal, when he encountered Haaland's unreasonable return blocking.

Yuqin had just stopped the ball, and before he could hand it to his teammates, Haaland rammed like a chariot.

After continuous training, Yuqin's muscles and weight have increased a lot compared to before coming.

However, in the face of Haaland's impact, Yuqin's confrontation ability is a little inadequate.

Yuqin was directly knocked away from his football, and the ball was taken by Haaland's unreasonable "knife to love" by Haaland.

The referee immediately blew the whistle to stop Haaland, who wanted to leave with the ball.

This is not over, before Haaland can exchange the ball, the referee did not hesitate to show Haaland a yellow card.

Although the Premier League encourages physical confrontation, Haaland's actions just now are clearly a little unreasonable.

The Premier League encourages physical confrontation, but they also take care to protect their players.

Yuqin became the beneficiary, not only did he create a yellow card, but he also got a chance to take a set-piece up front.

Haaland was of course quite displeased with the yellow card shown by the referee and left in front of the referee.

Yuqin, who was knocked away, came to the football and prepared to take the set-piece.

Yuqin was actually not surprised by the confrontation just now, because when watching Haaland's match, he knew Haaland's physical advantages.

Haaland is 195cm tall and weighs 87kg, and Yuqin is also a high school striker for Newcastle United.

But it is still a little worse than Harland at this time, and as for the weight, the difference is not a little.

The weight gap is here, and Yuqin's physical confrontation at this time is certainly not as good as that of Majin Haaland.

Harland is as strong as a brute bull, and his muscles also seem to contain the explosive power of a brute bull.

As he accelerates the charge with the ball, his momentum looks unbeatable.

Attacking football, of course, intimidating opponents, allows him to create scoring opportunities on the pitch.

It was because of his offensive habits that Haaland couldn't help but bump into Yuqin when he returned to defense just now.

He got the ball back, but he didn't get it back at all.

Because the brute bull rushed and fouled, he received a yellow card and the ball returned to Yuqin.
