Chapter 301: Manchester City Cannot Be Without Tang Long, Just Like France Cannot Be Without Voltaire!_4



However, when it comes to footwork and passing, the two teams aren't on the same level.

After Juventus slightly retracted their formation, Manchester City finally pushed forward.

Now it's Manchester City's turn to press high against Juventus, who is skilled in possession!

Fernandinho, the Brazilian midfielder who remains on the pitch, did not disappoint Pellegrini's expectations.

Having just turned thirty, he has reached his peak both in experience and physical condition.

Just 5 minutes later, when the ball came to Pogba's feet again, Pogba, who had suffered a setback against Tang Long, decided to avoid the sharp edge and started charging towards Fernandinho.

Pogba comforted himself, thinking that what happened just now was just an accident. Tang had just come on, so his stamina was probably better than mine, but the same might not hold true for Fernandinho who has been playing the whole match.

Pogba even pulled off three step-overs against Fernandinho.

Heave ho~

Heave ho~

Heave ho~

Wham!

Stop your fancy footwork! With precise timing, Fernandinho poked the ball away with his toe, flipping Pogba to the ground in the process.

What was supposed to be a clearance turned into a pass, and the ball flew straight to Sterling on the left flank.

As Sterling took two steps back to trap the ball with his chest by the sideline, Lichtsteiner charged towards him.

From a defensive standpoint, the Swiss fullback wanted to intercept Sterling as he trapped the ball.

Sterling's shooting might not be the best, but in dribbling, he is one of the most talented English players!

Seeing Lichtsteiner charging at him aggressively, Sterling decided to let the ball drop instead of using his chest, and gently bumped it with his right shoulder over Lichtsteiner's head, then dashed around him, continuing to dribble forward along the touchline!

"Pass to me!"

Silva quickly approached him, reaching out to request the ball.

Normally, when Sterling carried the ball to this area, he would seek to connect with the attacking midfielder.

He heard Silva's call, but he also saw Tang Long racing up from the midfield position!

This time, Sterling chose to pass the ball to Tang Long.

Tang Long sprinted towards the ball, shouting from afar to Silva, "Get out of the way!"

Then, he pulled back his leg like drawing a bow, ready to shoot.

At this moment, Tang Long was about 30 meters from the goal, a considerable distance, yet within range for a midfielder's shot.

Tang Long's shout made Silva quickly dodge.

Juventus players, however, dared not dodge!

Sturora slid in for a tackle in an attempt to intercept, and center-backs Bonucci and Chiellini prepared to block Tang Long's long-range shot.

At the same time, the phantom forward Agüero closely observed the changes along Juventus' offside line…

Indeed, Tang Long feigned East and attacked West!

He lifted his lower leg high, but at the moment of contact, he gently touched the ball, curving it beautifully.

"Huh?"

The two center-backs Bonucci and Chiellini were taken aback.

Agüero, like the wind, dashed between them, skimming the offside line, and the ball landed perfectly in front of him!

What a comfortable position!

Agüero, watching the drop point sideways, spread his arms for balance, tapped the ground with his toes, swiftly adjusted his steps, and without stopping the ball, unleashed a powerful shot!

Even if Buffon had three heads and six arms, he couldn't stop this thunderous shot aimed at the top left corner!

2 to 3!

Ten minutes into the second half, Manchester City clawed back two goals!
