Chapter 377 Advance to the top four!

Chapter 377 Advance to the semi-finals!

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Eighty-four minutes, eighty-four minutes!!!"

"Zhao Jinge! Zhao Jinge finally scored!!!!"

Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were cheering and shouting wildly.

After Zhao Jinge completed the shot, he raised his hands high and looked extremely excited!

David Silva's kick was very comfortable, and Zhao Jinge's judgment of the landing point was also extremely accurate. He had already thought about hitting it directly.

With such a shot and such an angle, there is no way he could miss!

"As expected, it has to be this boy!"

Guardiola jumped up excitedly on the sidelines and shouted loudly.

"Great job, Zhao!"

"David Silva, great pass!"

After Guardiola finished shouting, he turned around and raised his fists high at the fans in the stands.

The entire Etihad Stadium turned into a sea of ​​celebration.

The coaching bench and the bench were already huddled together, and everyone was celebrating the goal.

This is a goal created by the connection between two superstars.

David Silva was also the first teammate to run up to celebrate with Zhao Jinge, but the others soon followed.

I saw these guys greeting each other and ran up to them one by one, even goalkeeper Joe Hart was no exception.

Everyone gathered together to celebrate the goal that brought them from hell to heaven. This goal was really important!

Guardiola on the sidelines calmly made substitutions.

Sterling and Fernandinho appear.

Mahrez and Yaya Toure were replaced respectively.

David Silva returns to midfield.

Manchester City changes formation 4-5-1!

Zhao Jinge is at the forefront of the striker!

At this time, Manchester City can show their active defensive side at any cost.

As long as Juventus is limited in scoring, they will advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League after the last ten minutes!

Zhao Jinge's goal completely shattered the mental defenses of the Juventus players. They had already seen hope and were plunged into deep despair.

Especially the young player Buffon. After Juventus scored the third goal, goalkeeper Buffon stood directly in his own goal and roared passionately at the Juventus fans behind him. His unabashed joy was moving.

But after Zhao Jinge scored, the Italian goalkeeper instantly became silent. The remorse and despair in his eyes were heartbreaking!

After the game restarted, Zhao Jinge led Manchester City's offensive line to continue pursuing the victory!

In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester City had a fast break in the frontcourt. After receiving De Bruyne's pass, Zhao Jinge rushed forward quickly. When Khedira and Marchisio jointly blocked it, he unexpectedly passed the ball directly. Pass forward.

Sterling received the ball from behind Marchisio and knocked the ball across the left.

David Silva quickly cut inside, stopped and made adjustments, then kicked off and hit the goal!

It seems to be a bit casual, but Manchester City really doesn't pursue how clever and delicate the offense is. As long as they can continue to play a threatening offensive against Juventus, forcing them to devote more energy to the defensive end.

As long as they can limit the opponent's offense in the final period of the game, Manchester City can advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

One minute later, in the 84th minute of the game, Mandzukic, unwilling to do so, took the initiative to move to the outside to support him. Just as he was about to hit the wall with Aguero, the Argentine striker found himself with two veterans, Fernandinho and Gundogan. He fell to the ground when his teammates pinched him.

The referee did not blow the whistle to stop the game because there was no obvious foul.

Two minutes later, Pjanic again found Aguero with a direct pass.

Juventus's two defenders, Alex Sandro and Lichtsteiner, were unable to have particularly good assist opportunities due to Manchester City's extremely tough side blockade in the second half of today's game.

Therefore, Juventus' frontcourt wingers can only rely on themselves to create good opportunities to defeat the enemy most of the time.

After receiving the ball, Aguero accelerated. After rushing five yards from the outside, he suddenly stopped and changed direction to cross. He stepped on his bicycle and shook Fernandinho. As he moved towards the center, Gundogan intercepted the ball successfully. .

Another minute later, Douglas Costa started from the right side of the midfield and showed signs of going wild.

The ball is pushed forward quickly like an arrow from the string, never looking back!

David Silva retreated quickly, but Cancelo pressed forward. The two teamed up to attack Douglas Costa, with Cancelo taking the lead and David Silva following.

Douglas Costa knocked the ball at his feet and turned into a fried ball to pass through Cancelo from the outside. Then he accelerated the ball and shook off David Silva. He was about to carve a bloody path from the outside.

Gundogan's uncharacteristic sudden shovel caused Douglas Costa to stop and change direction, losing the space to change direction.

David Silva caught up and blocked Douglas Costa's inside position, and Cancelo retreated in time to form an encirclement and suppress, facing Manchester City's iron wall.

Douglas Costa pulled the ball behind him on the spot, suddenly took off his foot and passed the ball, and the football flew into the right flank of the penalty area.

Although Mandzukic was the first to receive the ball during his diagonal movement, his shot after turning around and forcefully kicking off the ball showed no threat.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart blocked the near corner and smoothly confiscated the ball.

Manchester City fans applauded and Guardiola, who was sitting on the coaching bench, nodded slightly.

Juventus's final counterattack failed. In the 88th minute of the game, Manchester City finally had another good opportunity.

When Fernandinho advanced the counterattack from the left after half-time, he passed the ball diagonally to the center of the frontcourt.

Zhao Jinge responded while running and took advantage of the situation to dribble the ball forward.

Chiellini and Khedira retreated to the front of the penalty area.

Zhao Jinge stepped on his bicycle and changed direction to move forward to the left. Seeing Chiellini approaching, he quickly turned around to protect the ball.

Use physical confrontation to resist Chiellini's close press. Chiellini has already grabbed one of Zhao Jinge's arms. The foul is quite obvious, but because he has entangled Zhao Jinge, he hopes Khedira can steal the ball at this time!

What if the referee is too soft-hearted and doesn't call him a foul?

But what Chiellini didn't expect was that every time he slightly adjusted his direction to destroy the ball at Zhao Jinge's feet, Zhao Jinge could immediately adjust the direction of protecting the ball to ward him off.

In terms of strength, Zhao Jinge struggled to support himself. Chiellini was slightly stronger than him, which put him at a disadvantage.

But Chiellini was never allowed to destroy the ball.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Khedira approaching, Zhao Jinge wading backwards for the ball, and Chiellini pulling his arm to make him unbalanced.

However, Zhao Jinge made Chiellini, Khedira and even the entire audience fall to the ground in shock and swept the ball behind Khedira!

Chiellini was very angry with the referee at this time!

I even reached out and made a foul!

Why don't you blow it!

The referee had the whistle in his mouth but didn't blow it.

Because De Bruyne went straight into the right rib of the Juventus penalty area and was close to the center during the advance, the pass from Zhao Jinge made him stand alone!

As soon as the young player Buffon took two steps, De Bruyne hit the ball and fired!

The football hit the dead center like a shooting star!

The Etihad Stadium was suddenly shaken!

Manchester City fans once again roared in celebration with excitement!

"De Bruyne scores a goal! Manchester City 2-3 Juventus!"

The total score is 5 to 3, regaining the two-goal advantage!

Juventus, who had a top performance in the first half, fell in the second half. Both teams played well for half the game!

De Bruyne's goal also heralded the end of Juventus' Champions League journey this season at the Etihad Stadium!

Manchester City will step on the corpse of the Italian king and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

When the team was in dire straits, Zhao Jinge showed his top performance with one goal and one assist in the final stage of the game, showing his dominance in front of the team's previous king Aguero!

With the top lineup of Manchester City and Zhao Jinge, they have frightened countless opponents. After going through hardships and finally burying Juventus, Manchester City is no longer far away from returning to the top of Europe! "

The Juventus generals watched Manchester City celebrate wildly, but waiting for them was to stop in the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, this extremely painful game for Juventus finally came to an end.

They were defeated by their opponents by two goals in the two rounds and lost the game in the last ten minutes of the second round. Such a torturous defeat made the Juventus players collapse on the ground after the game and refused to get up for a long time. .

They were only ten minutes away from overtime. They saw hope in the first half, but they fell to physical fitness and lineup thickness at the end!

Look at Manchester City's bench, look at their own bench, Cuadrado and the injured Dybala, these are the best players on their own bench, and they are completely incomparable to Manchester City!

The reporters in the media box on the sidelines took crazy photos of everyone on the court. The desperate and decadent Juventus players, and the Manchester City generals who excitedly circled the court and kept cheering for their fans. There was only a thin line between heaven and hell.

In the player interview after the game, Buffon, as the team captain, took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss as his head coach when the reporter asked whether Allegri would be fired by Juventus due to the defeat. absolve:

"The coach should continue, I have no doubt.

We have won many championships since he started coaching.

We were performing very well in Serie A this season, fighting for everything, and then we suffered a defeat in the Champions League that we didn't want to happen, which we didn't expect.

We suffered a big setback in the Champions League, but we still remain active in the title race for Serie A and Coppa Italia.

We are out of the Champions League. We are very sorry that I did not stand up when the team needed it most. This is a responsibility that I must shoulder, but it is very regrettable that I did not do it. "

"You win and you lose, that's football and I think in the Champions League we've done really well so far.

That's why for me there's no doubt that the coach continues to coach and he deserves it because of everything he's done and the experience he brings to the team.

There was no need to add drama to this failure.

A hasty coaching change will add unnecessary twists and turns to this stable group. We still have a month of games to play, and two other championships are at stake. This is definitely not the time to promote such rumors. "

"When Juventus loses, everything is magnified.

Every failure comes with a lot of analysis and criticism, but that's why we're here.

We have to live with this, we are used to it.

Criticism will not bring us down, some criticism is constructive and after such failure, we accept it.

Manchester City's performance is better, but this team still has a lot to give and there are other things they need to learn if they want to go further. "

“That’s competitive sports, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

We did not perform well today and Manchester City is a strong opponent.

They played better so they deserved promotion and we wanted to play well but Manchester City were better.

Looking back, we have to accept this defeat first and see what happens, but this team still has a lot to show,

It will undoubtedly bring a lot of joy to Juventus fans, and we still have two championships to compete for!

This is the most important thing right now! "

Except for Buffon, no one in the Juventus team was willing to be interviewed by reporters. Head coach Allegri did not even attend the post-match press conference.

After Buffon finished his brief interview, Allegri left the field with the Juventus players who had hurriedly showered.

Allegri had no idea of ​​paying attention to the reporters at all. He had had enough of these reporters who took advantage of the situation and wanted big news every day.

Although not accepting interviews requires a fine, it is nothing to Juventus, which has a large family and business.

At least most players and coaches no longer have to face the media storm.

Just like Juventus who left in a hurry and refused to accept interviews, Manchester City are not too willing to accept interviews today. After all, this game was a thrilling win, and the Manchester City players can't help but prepare to go out and relax their little hearts!

Therefore, the Manchester City players gathered in the press corner after the game. Everyone answered a few questions as quickly as possible and then left in a hurry.

Except for Zhao Jinge, who was surrounded by reporters and had no choice but to say a few words, the other players returned to the locker room early to prepare for tonight's celebration.

Zhao Jinge could only face the wolf-like British media alone.

“I actually didn’t expect that today’s game would be so difficult.

We still have to play in the Champions League, even though we have almost won the Premier League and EFL Cup.

We also have to stay focused to get the results we want in the next two games. I will do my best to perform well in the games and hope to win these two games and advance to the final of the Champions League again. . "

When asked how he viewed his performance and Manchester City's next games, Zhao Jinge also expressed his yearning to defend the Champions League.

After all, becoming the core player of the first defending Champions League team after the restructuring of the Champions League is a huge attraction for a player of Zhao Jinge's level!
