Chapter 395 The road ahead is unpredictable
All Paris Saint-Germain fans in the audience were frightened and full of doubts. Isn't this guy named Zhao Jinge tired? !
Why is it that after running back and forth for more than seventy minutes, he is still full of energy, like a beast ready to devour anyone at any time!
Seeing Zhao Jinge's increasingly fierce performance on the court, Emery could no longer withstand the pressure. Pastore came on to replace Draxler.
Di Maria and Ronaldo partnered as a double forward, and Pastore moved to the left side of the midfield to increase the thickness of the Paris midfield.
Paris Saint-Germain's defense was under great pressure and naturally tried its best to prevent counterattacks. Manchester City's formation pressed high and pressed.
The two teams switched back and forth repeatedly in this game, which can be called a classic competition of team skills and tactics.
In the 76th minute, Zhao Jinge was once again caught in a three-sided attack in the middle of the frontcourt. After turning around to protect the ball beside E Qian'er, he faked a dunk and crossed from Pastore to the middle. On his way in, Yaya Toure ran wildly into the right rib area of the penalty area.
Zhao Jinge flicked his foot and sent a through ball. Sterling turned offside in the middle of the penalty area and suddenly formed a single shot!
But Paris Saint-Germain's defense was lagging behind, and his single shot was less than two meters away from the attacking Lloris when it touched the ball.
Sterling stabbed directly, which was a smart choice. Lloris fell to the ground at the same time and stretched his legs to destroy the ball.
Paris Saint-Germain fans almost suffered cardiac arrest!
Emery looked confused. This substitution adjustment did not seem to have a great effect, and the quality of defense was not significantly improved.
In the 80th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder organized an offensive and faced a counterattack by Manchester City's forwards. Verratti sent a diagonal pass to the right of the center line.
Di Maria quickly passed the ball from the right side of the front court to advance the attack. When Mahrez pursued and Cancelo intercepted him, he decisively passed the ball back to the center in an inverted triangle.
E Qianer followed up and sent an overhead diagonal pass without stopping the ball.
The football flew straight to the bottom line on the left outside the Manchester City penalty area.
Pastore quickly went down and caught the ball before Kyle Walker and made a strong pass!
Laporte, who quickly returned to defense, originally followed Ronaldo to block Ronaldo's angle of contact, but Ronaldo stopped running early because he would be too close to Joe Hart if he ran forward.
Thank God, Pastore, who had just been substituted, sent the most accurate and wonderful cross this season.
Laporte suddenly stopped and turned around to intercept the ball with his tackle, but his toes failed to touch the football.
After the football rolled in front of him, Ronaldo shot the ball to the lower right corner of the goal!
Joe Hart flew to save the ball, but failed to touch the football despite his extreme operation.
boom!
The football hit the outside of the right goalpost and then popped out of the baseline!
The Paris Saint-Germain fans inside the Etihad Stadium couldn't help but sigh in disappointment!
Almost!
Cristiano Ronaldo almost scored four goals against Manchester City, which is at its peak this season!
And it’s still in the Champions League!
"Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the spot and missed the goal! Paris Saint-Germain missed a good opportunity to overtake the score!
Paris Saint-Germain took pragmatism to the extreme today!
Emery's team is incomprehensible!
They don't have a sustained strong offensive, but there are stars who become the protagonists in every game!
Ronaldo's scoring efficiency has declined this season, but when everyone no longer believed in him and talked about his body no longer supporting his dreams and ambitions, he stood up again!
The unparalleled defending champion Manchester City is experiencing one of the toughest battles in the European competition this season at the Etihad! "
Zhao Jinge stood in the middle circle and looked at PSG's half. He is a flexible player, but if he chose to attack today, he would not be able to provide more defensive support to the team. PSG's playing style is basically There is no player who can allow him to both defend and attack from the backcourt.
The game situation did become a bit difficult. After another wave of offensive, Paris Saint-Germain wanted to end the game smoothly and obviously began to slow down the rhythm of the game, mostly passing the ball in the backcourt.
With the advantage of away goals, they do have the confidence to return home for another decisive battle!
In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester City continued to counterattack in the frontcourt, and E abandoned the ball from the backcourt to the right side of the frontcourt.
Di Maria's personal dribbling was very cool, but his shot at the last moment was saved by Joe Hart.
Manchester City launched a fast break, and Yaya Toure passed forward from the right.
In front of Kurzava, Zhao Jinge didn't wait for the help of the abandoned children to help defend, and directly broke through from the outside.
Kurzava quickly stepped forward to press for the ball. Zhao Jinge rushed to protect the ball and knocked the opponent away before pulling the ball down from the outside with his right foot.
Kurzava stabilized his pace and turned around to pursue quickly, and E abandoner also sprinted to the bottom line to press.
However, Zhao Jinge suddenly stopped to knock the ball with his feet and retreated. The two of them pounced too hard, and Kurzawa blocked the ball and slid out of the baseline.
Zhao Jinge changed the direction of the ball and drove into Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area.
He retreated to the steering wheel and seemed to be pulling out an angle to shoot. When Matuidi came to press, Zhao Jinge suddenly spiked the ball with his left foot and returned to the baseline. Just as he dunked Matuidi, Zhao Jinge suddenly sent a cross with his right foot. .
The ball bypassed Marquinhos. Mahrez, who was outflanking from the wing, was pulled by Koscielny and was unable to speed up. Koscielny let go of his hand when he tackled the shot, but Mahrez did not move at all. Use force.
The football flew past him and Lloris.
Loris looked back again and was suddenly shocked!
Sterling, who came on as a substitute, hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he pressed the shot button when he saw him!
Sterling outflanked him, and no one in the audience thought that at this moment, the player who had just given a big gift to Paris Saint-Germain would bring giant-like lethality to Paris Saint-Germain!
The ball pad is shot towards the near corner of the goal with the left foot.
French goalkeeper Lloris was too late to save! The football flew into the goal.
Manchester City fans are ecstatic!
Zhao Jinge's fifth assist in the Champions League this season and his second assist in this game turned into a golden goal!
The Paris Saint-Germain generals collapsed a little, and Ronaldo clenched his fists and lowered his head and roared!
"Sterling! The English teenager scored the most crucial goal in his career!
Guardiola clenched his fists on the sidelines and was extremely excited!
Zhao Jinge got rid of Kurzawa and Erlanger on the right, and then broke through Matuidi and sent a pass.
His cross was so wonderful!
Bypassing behind the two central defenders of Paris Saint-Germain, Lloris was unable to make up his mind to attack!
Mahrez was interfered by Koscielny, but Sterling scored from behind!
Sterling rushed towards Zhao Jinge and flew into Zhao Jinge's arms. Both parties were celebrating wildly!
Manchester City beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-3!
If this score ends, Manchester City will only need a zero-0 away game to eliminate Paris Saint-Germain and advance to the Champions League semi-finals! "
The entire Manchester City team was encouraged and their morale was high.
Although it was only a one-goal lead and the opponent was given three away goals, it was a real lead after all!
In the civil war between the three giants of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, in fact, no one has the absolute strength to win the opponent, and no result is considered an upset.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick, and Zhao Jinge scored two shots and two passes. Zhao Jinge was better in terms of statistics, but Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was comparable. After all, Paris Saint-Germain's offensive strength is slightly inferior to Manchester City!
Emery was full of resentment. This score made all his previous preparations go to waste. Guardiola made substitutions to strengthen the defense.
Kompany comes on, Mahrez comes off, and Stones moves to the midfielder position. Even if Paris Saint-Germain wants to create a threat at the last moment, there is not much time, and Manchester City is also extremely cautious. They do not want to be breached by Paris's counterattack again.
In the 85th minute of the game, Ronaldo controlled the ball on the right and was surrounded by many people. He passed the ball diagonally and Pastore passed the ball from the left to the right.
Ouyang took the initiative to respond and made consecutive stops. Under the pressure of Yaya Toure, the intention of passing the ball to Ronaldo was too obvious, and Stone was able to intercept the ball successfully.
After joining Paris, some of the outcasts who started to mess around really couldn't cope with such high-intensity games for a long time.
What's more, Paris Saint-Germain has a very large range of activities today, switching back and forth from high-position pressing to defensive counterattacks, which places very high demands on the team's running ability and space coverage.
Manchester City once again launched a fast break. Under the pressure of Paris Saint-Germain's high position, Gundogan passed the ball to the center from the backcourt.
De Bruyne retreated and split the ball to the side. After Manchester City turned to defensive counterattack, Zhao Jinge stayed on the wing.
When Zhao Jinge responded, he saw the surrounding Paris Saint-Germain players rushing towards him. He stopped the ball and immediately protected the ball and faced back.
The entire audience was stunned!
Cristiano Ronaldo rushed behind Zhao Jinge and tried to knock Zhao Jinge down! Just like Zhao Jinge's foul against Ronaldo in this game.
But Zhao Jinge was prepared in advance, and the two collided! Cristiano Ronaldo hit Zhao Jinge's back, his body was trembling, he fell back and sat on the ground.
Ronaldo couldn't care less about the pain, but looked confused! Zhao Jinge didn't feel relaxed either. He fell forward and barely managed to steady his body's center of gravity.
Pastore reached the ball in an instant. Before Zhao Jinge straightened his waist, he knocked the ball with his right foot and then swung the ball with his left foot. The fried ball changed direction and dodged the pressure from Pastore.
Then I looked up and saw Meunier and Matuidi coming together. Meunier tackled from the front and Matuidi intercepted from the side.
Zhao Jinge moved the ball first and then lost his center of gravity, and then collided with Matuidi.
The referee blew the whistle to stop the game and showed Meunier a yellow card. Dangerous move!
The Paris Saint-Germain generals protested, and the Manchester City generals also surrounded the referee and pointed at Ronaldo.
They believed that Ronaldo's action of hitting Zhao Jinge from behind should also be given a card. The referee gave Ronaldo a face and only issued a card to Meunier, and then warned Ronaldo.
The Manchester City generals were very dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to give up. De Bruyne came over to take a free kick, and Zhao Jinge was beside him.
After De Bruyne flicked the ball, Zhao Jinge quickly passed the ball and started dribbling for a breakthrough.
The Paris Saint-Germain defense knew that Zhao Jinge was starting to behave badly again, but they really didn't expect that he would single-handedly attack their tight defense.
Manchester City fans were waving their flags and shouting excitedly. Pastore did not dare to attack in defense. He lowered his center of gravity and retreated in small steps. He was always ready to turn around and attack again. If he failed, he would foul.
Zhao Jinge changed his position and pedaled the bicycle, Pastore felt dazzled instantly.
When Zhao Jinge pedaled his bicycle for two rounds, he suddenly stopped and then slumped his shoulders and pretended to move to the inside. Pastor moved like a rabbit and twisted directly to move to the inside.
The moment he moved, Zhao Jinge moved the ball to complete the breakthrough from the outside, and Pastore was passed cleanly!
Zhao Jinge dribbled from the outside and cut inside, his speed already reaching its peak.
When he was about to take a half-step from Matuidi to pull the ball towards the passerby, Matuidi put his arms around him and said nothing to let him leave!
Paris Saint-Germain fans couldn't help but hide their faces and sigh!
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Matuidi and received a yellow card.
Direct free kick opportunity.
Zhao Jinge, who felt full of himself and had an excited mentality, stood in front of the football and waited for the referee to blow the whistle before hitting a shot.
Loris should have taken precautions and stood closer to the wall to block the angle, but Zhao Jinge was careless and did not look carefully.
Although the football crossed the wall and fell in a wonderful arc, French goalkeeper Lloris once again made a world-class save to save the ball!
Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended the corner kick. Manchester City did not invest much in offensive forces. Seeing that the game time was getting shorter and shorter, Paris Saint-Germain quickly launched a strong attack after taking possession of the ball.
In the 87th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo cut into the right rib area of the penalty area. Kurzava, who came up from the left to assist, received the pass from Ernest and then passed the ball past Kyle Walker's defense zone and sent a cross in front of the baseline. Seeing that Di Maria was already in the open position to receive the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo was also ready to take off and head the ball towards the goal.
But suddenly there was a figure in front of him who jumped into the air and punched the ball out. Joe Hart! Ronaldo looked up at Joe Hart and felt extremely sad.
If Joe Hart doesn't attack, he will have an excellent chance to score!
In the 90th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain's frontcourt attack failed. Zhao Jinge was flanked by Pastore and Matuidi when he broke into the frontcourt alone. The former fouled from behind, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.
The referee showed Pastore a yellow card.
Matuidi doesn't dare to make too big a move in defense now, because if he gets another card, he will get a red card and be suspended!
Even when putting out shovels, the main purpose is to block the line, for fear that Zhao Jinge will mess with him and make him yellow.
The pace of the game further slowed down.
Kompany and Yaya Toure's zone defense stifled Di Maria's dribbling breakthrough.
The referee blows the whistle to end the game.
Everyone at the Etihad Stadium seemed preoccupied.
Manchester City beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-3!
Guardiola shook hands with Emery and quickly walked into the tunnel.
Fans on both sides were full of worry. Even Manchester City fans felt that the score was not safe after the joy of the final victory cooled down, and the pressure on the players on the field did not diminish at all.
There is not much advantage in this score, and a life-and-death battle will surely take place in the second round.
It will not be easy for the Manchester City generals either, and the road ahead is dangerous and unpredictable.
A week later, they will also visit the Parc des Princes for the final showdown.
