Chapter 397 Tit for tat
Chapter 397 Tit for tat
Emery released the pressure directly, and he did not expect Di Maria to score.
But in this highlight moment of Angel, Aimee was indeed overjoyed!
Guardiola actively gestured to the players, encouraging them to maintain a balanced mentality and to foul decisively when dealing with counterattacks!
At this critical moment when they were about to fall off the cliff, Manchester City could only put down their dignity and use all available means to win.
After Paris Saint-Germain celebrated, the game camera focused on Zhao Jinge for a long time.
The lens language seems to be asking: What should you do?
The most common situation in football matches is that the offense seems to be threatening. The side with more eye-catching performance may not be able to score first, and it may not be able to win the final victory.
But what is certain is that if it is in good condition visible to the naked eye, it will definitely pose a threat.
Manchester City kicked off the ball and immediately launched a strong attack.
After Zhao Jinge, De Bruyne, and David Silva cooperated in a triangle pass on the right side of the frontcourt, Zhao Jinge broke into the penalty area and was destroyed by Marquinhos.
In the 34th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain quickly counterattacked in the frontcourt and once again came to the fore.
Ronaldo tried a long shot from the outside, but this high-quality shot was saved by Joe Hart.
Then Manchester City launched a fast break, and Mahrez received the ball from the left side of the frontcourt and knocked the ball across the middle.
Zhao Jinge moved in and cut the ball in, changing direction to dodge the pressure from Eretzker. Then when he was flanked by Marquinhos and Matuidi, he quickly knocked the ball across the front and right of the penalty area.
Sterling followed up and sent a diagonal plug.
Although De Bruyne broke through Koscielny's defense, the ball was too wide and the ball was confiscated by Lloris.
At the Parc des Princes, the cheers from Paris Saint-Germain fans after gaining the advantage were earth-shattering.
Only a few Manchester City fans prayed silently in the visiting team's fan area, firmly believing that the team would be able to break through Paris Saint-Germain's goal.
In the 37th minute of the game, Di Maria broke through from the right and tried to get down, but was sniped in front of Cancelo.
Although he scored an extremely exciting goal, his long-distance running status seemed to be very average, and he did not break through the Manchester City full-back's defense. Cancelo actively resisted interference, causing the football to roll directly out of the bottom line.
Seeing that the first half was about to enter its final stage, in the 41st minute of the game, Zhao Jinge once again encountered a three-person attack in the frontcourt.
Without tangling with the president and E abandoned children, Zhao Jinge knocked the ball diagonally back to De Bruyne.
When De Bruyne dribbled into the center of the frontcourt, he attracted Verratti to defend. At this time, he decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left.
Mahrez was receiving the ball and was about to dribble in when he was attacked by Meunier. If it had been Zhao Jinge, Meunier would not have pressed so hard.
But the Belgian full-back thought, if he can't deal with Zhao Jinge, why can't he deal with you, the polo king?
Without any hesitation, Meunier made a quick move, but Mahrez quickly dodged it and sent the football to the front and right of the PSG penalty area.
Regardless of Meunier's livid face, Sterling took the initiative and passed the ball diagonally in front of Koscielny in front of the left baseline.
Mahrez went forward and played in a simple and efficient manner with Sterling's collision with the wall.
Before Meunier could turn around and defend, the polo king made a pass.
Koscielny turned around and looked at the football flying past the front. It was not the front point or the middle of the goal.
It's the back of the penalty area!
Koscielny turned his head and looked at the spot where the football landed, his eyes suddenly filled with astonishment.
Marquinhos was still waiting for the ball, but someone jumped behind him and flew in front of Marquinhos!
Marquinhos took off the next step and had no chance.
Under the spotlight, although Zhao Jinge does not have the CEO's terrifying jumping ability and ability to stay in the air.
But as long as he steps on the right spot, Zhao Jinge, who is not weak in header ability, can also hit a fierce output of head force in the sky!
Lloris was concentrating on preparing to save, but the football that was hit by Zhao Jinge was deflected and flew to the upper right corner of the goal!
Far corner!
Lloris flew to save while moving quickly, which was already the ultimate operation of all his abilities, but the ball's flight path was too tricky.
There is no way to save it!
The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
Manchester City fans in the visiting team's fan area at the Parc des Princes roared with excitement!
"GOAL!!!!!"
"Zhao Jinge scored with a header! This goal is wonderful!
When Manchester City needs to score, it's him, it's him, of course it's him who steps up!
The sixteenth goal of the Champions League this season was born, and Zhao Jinge topped the scorer list!
Zhao Jinge, who was very active in the entire frontcourt today, put huge pressure on Paris Saint-Germain. Firstly, Kurzawa's defense required teammates to fill in. Secondly, when Zhao Jinge entered the penalty area to grab points, Marquinhos was also easy to mark. Missed him!
Paris Saint-Germain's lead did not last long. Now Manchester City has a total score of 5 to 4 Paris Saint-Germain!
One more goal is needed, and as long as Manchester City can score another goal, then I have no doubt that Guardiola will let the team defend immediately! "
After scoring the goal, Zhao Jinge didn't change his expression, turned around and jogged backcourt. Sterling took the initiative to run over and high-five him to celebrate. After high-fiving, Zhao Jinge pointed at Mahrez and gave him the first thumbs up of the day.
Mahrez was encouraged. Kante was not the only one who started under pressure today. He also expected to use a perfect performance to enhance his status in Guardiola's heart.
Although Emery felt extremely uncomfortable, he forced himself to calm down at this moment and signaled to the Paris players on the court to let the team stabilize and not panic!
Guardiola gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and quickly clapped his hands and applauded the players.
make persistent efforts!
As long as one goal is scored, as long as one more goal is scored, the total score is expanded, and after sitting on the advantage of two goals, then he will immediately replace Gundogan and remove Sterling, immediately change posture, and let Manchester City play the ultimate counterattack !
Referring to the battle at the Etihad a week ago, Manchester City's probability of advancement will be greatly improved.
Before the end of the half, Paris Saint-Germain's Cavani's pass to Ronaldo was intercepted by Kompany, and Manchester City launched a fast break.
Zhao Jinge started racing along the middle of the frontcourt. After the ball reached Matuidi, he continued to fake on his bicycle and suddenly changed direction and went to the right front.
Matuidi moved a step only to find that the football was still there.
Just when he turned around to steal the ball again, Mahrez changed the direction of the ball and went to the left front.
Matuidi's mind and body seemed to be torn in opposite directions, making him very uncomfortable and unable to reach both sides.
Zhao Jinge led the thinking rhythm, and Mahrez broke through easily!
Mahrez sent an overhead diagonal pass when he reached the left side of the penalty area. Zhao Jinge broke into the right flank of the penalty area, faced the falling football, stopped and buckled, and turned around to pass Marquinhos who was blocking him inside.
Take a step back to take the ball, then take off your foot and shoot into the far corner of the goal!
Seeing that Loris had raised his hands to surrender.
However, as the football was flying towards the far corner of the goal, Koscielny arrived in time to rescue and header the ball out of the bottom line.
Koscielny is also a ruthless person.
He headed the ball towards his own goal without changing his expression.
Not worried at all about making an own mistake.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. Manchester City generals expressed their dissatisfaction and went to the referee excitedly to protest.
The injury time was just right, but Manchester City could have taken one more corner kick, but the referee refused to give it!
Given, Paris Saint-Germain has nothing to say.
If you don't give it, this is obviously not friendly to Manchester City.
Guardiola also went out of his way to communicate with the fourth official before they walked into the player tunnel.
Halftime is over.
Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain.
The final showdown between the two teams ended with no score. The fans of the two teams were in a similar mood during the break. No one knew the outcome of the second half, and no one knew which team would be the first to win after 45 minutes. Tickets to the Champions League Final!
When the midfielder returned to the locker room, Guardiola made tactical adjustments, requiring the team to adopt defensive counterattack tactics in the second half to ensure the current one-goal advantage as much as possible. The formation and tactics did not conflict, and they could be flexible even if they played four, three, and three. adopt anti-counterattack tactics.
Manchester City's previous tactics in this game were inherently conservative, which was the case in the first half, but Guardiola asked the team to play more conservatively and more targeted in the second half.
At the Parc des Princes, the second half of the Champions League semi-final second leg officially begins.
Paris Saint-Germain, who took the first kick off, finally couldn't help but change their tactics after the halftime break, became more proactive, and quickly launched an offensive.
After their midfield combination made three passes and two downs, E abandoner who suddenly came forward sent a through ball.
Ronaldo ran quickly from the wing and crossed into the middle. After passing the ball in front of Kanter, he took a long shot before David Silva could get close.
Kanter really didn't expect Ronaldo to be so crisp and clean, and he would shoot whenever he had the chance!
But the Paris generals are used to it. After all, this man's ability to hit the world wave is extremely powerful, but this kick sent the ball into the stands.
Paris Saint-Germain fans look worried, they are rich and handsome, they are working harder!
Show off your heroic performance of your hat trick in the last game!
Including the three goals in the last game, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in the Champions League so far this season. The number of goals is still a lot, but the scoring efficiency is not as good as before!
Maybe he is indeed old, he will be thirty-three in three months.
Since the beginning of the new season, the president who came to France has been looking for form and trying to return to his peak after a rough start.
But at this age, it will take more time to recover after each injury.
His steel-like physique will prevent him from declining so quickly from his peak state, but it is not easy to return to that state.
It was Manchester City's turn to launch a fast attack upfield.
When De Bruyne reached the frontcourt with the ball, Verratti had to step forward for a frontal interception. Mahrez cut in from the left and De Bruyne passed the ball.
Matuidi could not ignore him. When defending cautiously in the past, Mahrez passed the ball diagonally into the middle of the penalty area.
Koscielny stepped forward to defend Sterling, who had started to cut inside, and the latter knocked the ball diagonally back to the other side area.
Zhao Jinge, who crossed positions with Mahrez, was attacked by Kurzava and Erlanger while running inside.
He stopped suddenly to pull the ball and redirected it to the outside line. Kurzava was very good at blocking the inside line and preventing Zhao Jinge from cutting in and shooting. However, he still had to turn around and rush to block and restrict Zhao Jinge.
When Zhao Jinge made a move in front of the baseline to cross, Kurzava chose to stretch his legs to block the angle of his cross. Zhao Jinge dunked the ball under his feet. When he saw E abandoner rushing towards him, he quickly tilted the ball towards him. After knocking back, he crossed into the Paris penalty area.
De Bruyne made a quick move to receive the ball and sent a direct pass to Zhao Jinge. Zhao Jinge, who led the ball in the Paris penalty area, stepped on his bicycle with his right foot when facing Marquinhos, and changed the direction of the ball with his left foot to expand the shot from the outside. angle.
Before Matuidi returned to defense and stretched his legs to press, Zhao Jinge shot first, and the football shot with his left foot flew straight to the far corner of the goal.
Seeing that the football was about to fall into the lower left corner of the goal, Lloris's right hand blocked the ball outside in front of the goal line.
The football rolled out of the bottom line against the outside of the left goalpost. Manchester City fans were disappointed, and they almost expanded their advantage!
Paris Saint-Germain's defense began to communicate. Matuidi said that there was no way. He couldn't let Mahrez cut in from the left, right?
Who would have thought that Manchester City would change their style of play today!
Kurzawa said he was under a lot of pressure. Who among you can help me?
E abandoned children and Verardi were silent.
Koscielny stepped forward and asked Marquinhos to help defend, and he tried his best to resist Sterling alone!
Paris Saint-Germain strengthened their wing attack, but Manchester City's tit-for-tat defense made it difficult for them to create opportunities in the penalty area.
On the contrary, Manchester City's counterattack became more threatening. In the 53rd minute of the game, Zhao Jinge received a direct pass from Kyle Walker from the right side of the center line. He dribbled forward quickly along the wing.
The Paris Saint-Germain midfield and backfield defenders quickly surrounded him.
When he dribbled to the wide position outside the penalty area, Matuidi, Kurzava, and Marquinhos had already formed a zone defense with less than five yards away from him.
Zhao Jinge sent a precise cross with his right foot. Koscielny was closely guarding Sterling, who was cutting inside again, but the football flew over their heads and then fell.
Koscielny turned to look, and during the counterattack, Mahrez rushed into the left rib of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area to meet the ball and shoot.
The opportunity was a golden opportunity, but the shot was too direct, very intimidating and not very harmful. Lloris saved the ball on the spot while moving, and Koscielny half-turned in the penalty area to clear the ball.
Manchester City fans expressed regret. Mahrez was active and diligent, and his technical and tactical execution rate was in place, but today's final kick always failed.
With Zhao Jinge almost being double-teamed by three people, Mahrez and Sterling were the ones who shot the most for Manchester City today, but the threats were not enough. The final word still depends on Zhao Jinge!
