Chapter 17: Flowers Like Jade Leroy
Leroy Sane and Salif Sane are both descendants of Senegal, but just as Lu Xun and Zhou Xun are both Chinese, they have no relationship with each other.
Leroy Sane debuted from a pharmaceutical factory youth training and was later poached by Schalke. Three years after the first team, he transferred to Manchester City in the summer of 2016 before Zhuo Yang. Guardiola personally ordered the player.
It has been almost three years in a blink of an eye. In these two rounds of knockout rounds, Sane has faced his old club for the first time. Three weeks ago, he only came on as a substitute in nearly 80 minutes. At Ao Shulk, he did not leave much impression on his old friends. Today, Sane started.
Although Sane was not the core main force of Manchester City in three seasons, she at least had the position of rotation of the main force, and followed Manchester City to win the championship honor. Not returning home without returning home is like walking in the night of a brocade, Sane needs to show off in front of Schalke.
Manchester City's oppressive restrictive play in the first forty minutes made Schalke at a loss and retreated his position very deeply, but this also made Sane, who was good at raiding and assaulting, not much room. Instead, Sterling, who was like a messenger, was more active.
Zhuo Yang broke the penalty kick, and the total score between the two sides became 4:2, shattering the only remaining fantasy of Schalkes and also confused. The formation was loose and Sane's opportunity came.
The shadow of the famous tree, Schalke's defensive attention is all on Zhuo Yang, who is murderous intent. The assault king in the team that year, Sane, who ranked second in efficiency, was ignored.
In the 45th minute, Da Congming connected to the right with a large angle, Sane overtook Brumma on the left and then received the ball and entered the penalty area.
After attacking near the front post in the small penalty area, he was blocked by Stanboli and Fehrman, but this is the position and method that Sane is good at.
He glanced at the middle and found that Zhuo Yang did not follow up. Sane was not Sterling but was also clever. He immediately knew what was going on and knocked back his heel without hesitation.
Zhuo Yang was indeed shameless and secretly following his butt, and he was so pure that only football was left in his eyes.
With a 'Get out', Zhuo Yang hit the ball critically, and the football roared over the heads of Sane, Feerman and Stanboli, and they could feel the scalp burning.
Sane was just shocked: Yes, if you accidentally take this, I will only be 23 this year...
The ball entered the net at the near corner, violent and clear, leaving no room for referee Turpin to find fault.
"Leroy, the ball is passing well." Zhuo Yang praised verbally. "I didn't scare you when I shot like that just now, did I?"
What do you say? Sane shook his head: "Who, brother, just be happy."
At the end of the first half, Zhuo Yangmei scored twice, with a score of 2:0 and a total score of 5:2. So far, this is still a very ordinary Champions League quarterfinals, and there seems to be nothing magical and worth remembering.
This is true for Zhuo Yang and Sane.
On the way back to the locker room, Guardiola, who was suddenly poor-mouthed, seemed unable to stop it and still smiled. "Ask a good idea first, no slap in the face."
Zhuo Yang is a wise man, how could he hit him?
"Brother, let me play the whole game today. I want to score goals, but two are not enough."
"Brother, I like to listen to you."
.
If the thing is not broken, don't repair it. It is reasonable for Guardiola to make no adjustments after halftime, but it seems unusual for Tedesco to fail to make tactical changes.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the 2:5 total score has already made Schalke not have any fantasies away. The team played in the Bundesliga this season, but breaking through from the Champions League group gave Tedesco a certain amount of rampant capital.
It is not embarrassing to be eliminated by Manchester City. Tedesco is an ideal young coach. Based on Schalke's overall strength, he continues to experiment and improve the back-level play of the organization's center of gravity that he has been thinking for a long time. He feels it is very necessary and it is also the only pursuit left in this game.
If he can finally combine defense and run and bombing successfully, he will become a coaching master, which is Tedesco's ambition.
So, if the backcourt is out of touch? Just pretend it doesn’t exist.
.
In the summer of 2016, Schalke sold Sane for 50 million, and turned around and spent 29 million to buy the then 19-year-old Cameroonian Swiss striker Brell Enbolo. This is the highest buying price in Schalke 04 team history so far.
Those who have played "Live" should know that Embolo is a demon striker with explosive power and speed, and his selling point is also here. So today Tedesco abandoned the previous round's double strikers Mendill and Ute, and chose Embolo to steal Manchester City's chickens. It is quite reasonable.
But ball possession ability is Embolo's weakness, and he can only pass this item. Ball possession and dribbling also limit him to become the absolute main force of Schalke and the Swiss national team.
Embolo is a surprise on Schalke's forward line, and the conditions are in line will even become the team's explosive point. But today, Manchester City has to line up Walker to play as a guest player with Laporte, but it just happened to restrain Embolo.
Do you start lightning fast? I Kyle Walker, the defender is the best in the world in the world in terms of speed. Do you like it?
In the 51st minute, Nabil Bentalibu, who scored twice in the last penalty kick, blocked the ball and made Schalke get a rare opportunity to counterattack. Enbolo received the ball as the Lieutenant.
But he met Walker who hadn't been rushing forward a few times today - in fact, he wanted to rush, but what Lao Gua emphasized most during the intermission was to make him pay attention to Enboro.
He was entangled by Walker just after he kicked out for two steps, and was occupied in front of him. He forced Enboro to lower his head to compete with his poor dribbling and protect the ball.
Walker is not easy, but it is his first achievement to make Enboro unable to break through. The cunning Derbych immediately moved closer and surrounded him, which made Enboro unable to bear it. The ball was cut off without heating.
Schalke's formation was dispersed, and Derbych passed the ball straight to Zhuo Yang seemed extremely evil at this time.
Zhuo Yang, who ran from the middle like a wing, unexpectedly stepped on the ball to the ground in the future, and almost broke his legs after Sa Sane, who was following him.
Zhuo Yang ran away, the football stayed in place, and Le Sane, who was cross-switching, just took over. It should be said that, but today the cooperation between this guy and Zhuo Yang was simply amazing, and it was like a flower and a jade.
He didn't praise him when he dribbled the ball in the middle. Le Sane immediately pushed the ball into the left diagonally after taking the ball. Zhuo Yang, who did not slow down after stepping on the ball, just penetrated the ribs and raised his left foot in the penalty area and fired.
It was done in one go, with smooth passing matches, and a minimalist move to defeat the enemy.
3:0, Zhuo Yang is familiar with hat tricks.
Especially after 40 minutes, Sane played very well. He contributed two direct assists from Zhuo Yang's three goals. Zhuo Yang was not satisfied and Sane was very satisfied.
But as an attacker in the rising period, scoring goals is the most satisfying. Sane was relieved to serve Zhuo Yang, and he felt that he should have a roar and show off his wealth in front of his old club.
A big meal requires cold dishes, and a feast must have an episode. Sane doesn't mind adding icing to Zhuo Yang's game.
