Chapter 213 Champions League scorer list
Although Bayern finally defeated Pilsen in the away game, Bayern only scored a goal difference in this game.
The score of 1:0 has been maintained until the end of the game.
In another group match that ended at the same time, Manchester City finally defeated CSKA Moscow with a score of 5:2.
The referee awarded the visitors a controversial penalty towards the end of the second half, allowing them to score twice at the Etihad Stadium.
This result was a bit unsatisfactory for Manchester City, but after seeing Bayern's score, they were immediately satisfied.
After this round of competition, the qualifying situation of Group D is very clear.
Manchester City, who won all four games, qualified two rounds ahead of schedule and held a goal difference of 10. While leading Bayern by 3 points, they also led them by 2 goal difference.
As for Bayern, with 9 points, they can qualify for the next game as long as they draw.
With Bayern's strength, qualifying is not difficult.
It's just a bit difficult to compete with Manchester City for the first place in the group!
Because they will go to Moscow to play away in the next game, while Manchester City will continue to sit at home against Pilsen, the weakest team in the group.
Considering the strength gap between the two teams' respective opponents, Manchester City may continue to expand their lead in goal difference.
So unless Bayern slaughtered Manchester City with a big score at their home court in the last round, otherwise, Manchester City will be able to lock in the first place in the group by virtue of their goal difference.
In this regard, there were voices criticizing Guardiola in the German media after the game.
"If Guardiola is not so obsessed with experimenting with his strikerless away game, Bayern should have scored more goals. In that case, Bayern will not be in such a passive situation now!"
"It has been several months since Guardiola came to Bayern. Some of his adjustments to the team have not seen obvious effects so far. Compared with the king's team last season, Bayern this season seems to be missing something."
Bayern is the well-deserved overlord of the Bundesliga, so Germany has high hopes for them.
In the case of Dortmund's unfavorable European war, Bundesliga fans can only count on them to win glory for the Bundesliga in the Champions League!
However, Bayern's performance in the Champions League was a bit disappointing.
In the face of these criticisms, Guardiola himself did not come forward to respond, but Bayern's club manager Hoeness came forward:
"Bayern is on the right path. Under Pep Guardiola's leadership, the team has won three trophies including the UEFA Super Cup, the Telecom Cup and the Audi Cup.
In addition, Bayern is still unbeaten in the league this season, and the situation of qualifying for the Champions League group stage is also very optimistic.
Although we were a bit unlucky at the Etihad, we will defend the glory of Bayern Munich at home, please be patient! "
The three trophies mentioned by Hoeness, except for the European Super Cup, which has a bit of gold, the other two trophies are not worth mentioning.
Therefore, the outside world did not buy his rumors.
"I bet [-] cents that Bayern won't win the first place in the group!"
"Unless Manchester City loses the next game, Bayern will definitely not get it!"
"Don't be so sure, what if Bayern bloodbathed Manchester City at home?"
"Hehe, do you think it's possible? This is Manchester City with Lin Quan. It's very difficult to win them, let alone a bloodbath!"
"What happened to Lin Quan? Didn't he get kicked 4-0 when Barcelona came last season? Is Lin Quan better than Messi?"
Some people were not convinced, and cited the example of Bayern's victory over Barcelona last season.
"Manchester City is not Barcelona, Bayern is not the same Bayern last season!"
……
Although Bayern may not win the group first in the Champions League group stage, the Bayern club did not say anything.
Rummenigge is still very patient with Guardiola. Now that he hasn't even finished half the season, it is still too early to talk about the final result.
Moreover, Guardiola's coaching performance at Bayern is not bad. In the first 12 rounds of the league, Bayern had 10 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten. It is currently the third unbeaten team in Europe.
The other two are Manchester City in the Premier League and Barcelona in La Liga.
From the perspective of the stability of the league, Guardiola is undoubtedly qualified.
The only problem is probably that the Champions League record has been a little bit up and down, but that's okay.
With Bayern's strength, as long as they don't draw the top giants in the knockout round, they can all pass.
Compared with the results of the Champions League, Bayern cares more about Guardiola's reform of Bayern's technical and tactical play.
They hope to learn and integrate Spanish pass control football to keep up with the current development trend of world football.
Therefore, unless there is a huge decline in Guardiola's team leadership performance, it is unlikely that Bayern will turn against him.
……
Because of the Ballon d'Or, the performances of Franck Ribery, Ronaldo, Messi and Lin Quan in this round of the Champions League have attracted much attention from the outside world.
Franck Ribery's performance in the away game was a bit sluggish. He neither scored nor assisted in this round of the game, and even his score after the game was not high, which made people doubt his state.
Unlike Franck Ribery, Ronaldo, another favorite for the Ballon d'Or, continued his excellent form.
In this round of the Champions League, Real Madrid challenged Juventus away, and the two teams finally drew 2:2.
It was their two billionaires who scored goals for Real Madrid - Ronaldo and Bell.
This is Ronaldo's 4th consecutive game in the Champions League group stage to score goals. In the whole of Europe, only he and Lin Quan have achieved this.
But Ronaldo leads Lin Quan by 3 goals in total goals, but Lin Quan has 4 assists, which is barely a tie with Ronaldo.
In the current Champions League scorer list, Ronaldo ranks first with eight goals.
Ibrahimovic, who also scored a goal in this round, followed closely with 7 goals, ranking second.
Ranked third is Barcelona's Messi. He scored twice in this round of the game. In the case of one game less, he scored 6 goals, and his scoring efficiency tied with Ronaldo.
Lin Quan ranked fourth with 5 goals.
"Peerless double pride is still strong, not only scoring goals in the league is like hemp, scoring goals in the Champions League is as easy as drinking water."
"Both of them are in their peak period, and the strength of their respective teams is also very strong. Now is the time for stable output."
"Lin Huang is also a bit outrageous. It is the first time to participate in the Champions League, scoring four consecutive games, and the stability is terrible!"
"Yeah, I believe more and more that he is a player of the same level as Peerless Shuangjiao!"
"It's hard to say. There are many short-lived players in the football world. If Lin Huang can continue his outstanding performance next year without too much decline in his status, then he can be sure that he can really stand side by side with Melo."
"Tsk tsk, I can't wait to see Lin Huang stepping into his peak period and killing all sides in football!"
"Hehe, Ronaldo and Messi were probably at the end of their careers at that time, Lin Huang probably had no rivals in football!"
"Neymar expresses dissatisfaction!"
"Gotze can fight!"
……
Just finished the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City had no time to rest, the third round of the League Cup began.
In this round, Manchester City will continue to sit at home to meet the challenge from the Championship team Wigan Athletic.
The League Cup actually started in September, but as a Premier League team, they can skip the first few rounds and start directly from the third round.
This made Manchester City unaffected by the League Cup before.
But now, the League Cup has reached the third round, and the Premier League teams must also participate in the competition.
Because the schedule is too dense, Manchester City's attitude towards the League Cup has some differences.
"We're going to play Sunderland away in three days, so why don't we give up this Carabao Cup?"
Some people think that the League Cup is just a tasteless cup, and its gold content is far less than that of the FA Cup.
So I don't want to waste time on such a cup game, especially when the league schedule is so dense, let alone waste the players' precious physical energy because of a cup game.
But some people think that the League Cup is a championship trophy after all, and the difficulty of winning the championship is not as great as that of the FA Cup. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and it cannot be given up because of its low gold content.
What's more, by participating in the League Cup, the team can also train new players, so that those substitute players and young players promoted from the reserve team or even the youth team have more opportunities to play games.
This is of great significance for training newcomers to the team!
What both sides said made sense, and Pellegrini hesitated for a while.
Although Manchester City is known for their generous purchases, their own youth training actually has some good seedlings. These young players do not get a chance to play in the first team, and they usually play in the youth team or the reserve team.
However, the intensity of the competition between the youth team and the reserve team is definitely not as good as that of a regular cup game.
Because of the busy work of the first team, Pellegrini rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with these players on weekdays.
He still lacks understanding of the quality of his team's youth training and the technical characteristics of young players.
If they are allowed to play in the League Cup, it is just a good time to observe their performance and see if there is any buried jade among these young people.
In the first team, Lin Quan's outstanding performance greatly increased Pellegrini's confidence in young players, and he fantasized about digging out a talent that can be made.
However, the opponent is not weak. Wigan Athletic was the team that was relegated from the Premier League last season.
This season they aim to surpass, and the team has spent a lot of money on signings. Although it is only a team in the British Championship, it has the strength not to lose to the lower reaches of the Premier League.
It's a bit difficult to beat them completely with a group of young players.
If you lose the first game, it will not have the effect of training newcomers.
As a result, Pellegrini formed a half-main and half-substitute lineup.
In this game, Lin Quan entered the squad, but did not start the game, but sat on the bench.
Pellegrini intends to decide whether to let him play according to the situation of the game. If the players on the field can easily deal with the opponent, then there is no need to let Lin Quan, a nuclear weapon, play to waste energy.
But if the young players can't solve the battle, they can only let Lin Quan and other main players appear.
Except for the period when he first joined Werder Bremen, Lin Quan rarely played as a substitute.
Sitting on the bench in this game gave Lin Quan a long-lost feeling.
After the opening game, Manchester City's players took advantage of the home court and launched an attack on Wigan Athletic's goal.
Wigan Athletic is not a vegetarian either. After withstood Manchester City's three-axes, they also frequently fought back.
The teenager Boyata, who almost made a big mistake at Stamford Bridge before, turned into a pinnacle on Manchester City's rear line in this game.
Under his solid defense, Wigan Athletic's strikers came back once and for all, and they couldn't find any chances at all.
Seeing Boyata's outstanding performance, Pellegrini nodded slightly, and said to the assistant coach on the side:
"Boyata's skills and strength are good, but his psychological quality may be a little weaker. If his mentality can be as stable as his compatriot Kompany, then we will have a stable substitute for our defense!"
"Yes, but this may be related to his age. After all, he is just in his early 20s, and he hasn't played too many games on behalf of the first team before. He lacks experience in major competitions and is more likely to make mistakes."
Having said that, the assistant coach subconsciously glanced at Lin Quan's direction.
The same young players, even younger players, these problems have never appeared in Lin Quan.
I really don't know how he developed such a mature and stable mentality. His mentality even exceeds that of many old players who have played for many years.
In addition to Boyata, the substitute goalkeeper Pantilimon is also the focus of the Manchester City coaching staff.
Joe Hart's performance in the league and the Champions League was not stable enough. Although his save success rate exceeded 60%, Joe Hart made several mistakes when facing long-range shots.
If Manchester City wants to go further this season, they must focus on improving the stability of their defense.
After undergoing adjustments at the beginning of the season, Manchester City's defense has gradually taken shape and its defensive capabilities have improved.
But the performance of the goalkeeper has always been somewhat unsatisfactory.
So, Pellegrini intends to try two and three to see how they perform.
If the performance of the backup goalkeeper can meet his expectations, then he may replace Joe Hart and let Pantilimon or Wright start.
Judging from the first half of the game, Pantilimon's performance was very good.
He made three effective saves, two of which were from long-range opponents.
With a height of 2 meters, he has a great advantage in defending high-altitude balls.
The Manchester City coaching staff is very satisfied with his saves, and Manuel Pellegrini intends to let him start in the next league game against Sunderland.
If the effect is good, then Manchester City's starting goalkeeper will be his.
There is no problem with the team's defense, but there are problems on the offensive end.
After Lin Quan and Aguero were missing in the frontcourt, the players' offense seemed to be unable to find a backbone, and they played in a mess!
Until the end of the first half, the score on the court was still 0:0, and the two teams drew a goalless draw.
"Do you want to replace Lin Quan?"
Seeing that Pellegrini's face was not very good-looking, the assistant coach on the side tried to ask.
"No need, just wait and see!"
However, after 10 minutes in the second half, the score was still 0:0.
Wigan Athletic can't break through Manchester City's defense, and Manchester City can't do anything about them.
Seeing that the regular season is almost over, Pellegrini really can't stand it now.
In the 75th minute, he made a substitution adjustment.
Manchester City replaced Aguero and replaced Lopez, who was underperforming.
Aguero is a good striker, he is very active in looking for opportunities after playing.
However, Wigan Athletic's players marked him very tightly, leaving him no space at all.
Aguero played 10 minutes, Manchester City's offense still did not improve, and there were less than 5 minutes left before the end of the regular season.
Pellegrini was very angry, wouldn't it be okay to play Aguero?
The Manchester City fans watching the game also started to worry. Is it possible that the team will be tied at home by a Championship team?
Before encountering Wigan Athletic, Manchester City's home record remained unbeaten.
If their winning streak is broken by a Championship team, Manchester City will lose face.
So they started to make noise, asking Pellegrini to replace Lin Quan.
"Lin, we need Lin!"
"Let Lin play!"
Pellegrini glanced at Lin Quan, and saw that the other party had sat up straight and his expression became very serious.
Lin Quan originally thought that they could win the game steadily, but he didn't know that his teammates won't score. They wasted so many opportunities, but they couldn't score a goal.
This made him feel a sense of crisis. Cooked ducks can't fly, right?
Just then, he heard Pellegrini's words:
"Lin, go warm up and get ready for overtime!"
Lin Quan shook his head: "There's no need to warm up, just change people!"
