Chapter 399 There is no overtime, victory belongs to Manchester City!
Chapter 399 There is no overtime, victory belongs to Manchester City!
If Paris Saint-Germain maintains the threat of counterattack, Manchester City really will not sink the boat unless it is betting on the last five minutes.
But if PSG becomes conservative now, City will have more options to unleash their attack.
The full-backs and midfielders will gradually exert their strength. On the contrary, even if Paris Saint-Germain strengthens its defense, it may be caught off guard due to the opponent's increased firepower.
After the kick-off, Paris Saint-Germain did not receive Emery's instructions. While stabilizing the rhythm, the players on the court began to strengthen their offense. There was no way. After all, they were the side behind the score. It was not that they did not want to be conservative, but they really wanted stability now. , almost without a fight!
Guardiola did not make any substitutions. The current situation is good and he plans to make final adjustments after 75 minutes.
The time has not come yet, so calm down first.
Although Guardiola did not give clear instructions, the Manchester City players on the court became unreasonable and wanted to take advantage of the victory to end the game!
When Manchester City takes the initiative to speed up and launch a violent attack, Paris Saint-Germain will also speed up its counterattack accordingly.
In the 71st minute of the game, Zhao Jinge cut to the wing to receive a cross pass from Mahrez after he retreated. The moment he touched the ball, he accelerated forward and made Verratti, who was assisting in defense, press and save the ball.
Facing his old rival Meunier, who was intercepting him head-on, Zhao Jinge started riding a bicycle, and Meunier was furious! Why don't you try another move?
In last summer's European Cup, he gave up on himself after being overtaken by Zhao Jinge. There was a small shadow lingering in Meunier's heart. The Belgian full-back gained wisdom through every experience. At this time, he maintained a principle, that is, you can be as fancy as you want. I only block the inside line.
Meunier took the initiative to recover towards his own penalty area, blocking Zhao Jinge's inward line, and at the same time giving up the outside line to Zhao Jinge.
Strategic abandonment? Zhao Jinge naturally went down and passed the ball.
Mahrez and Sterling's outflanking of the penalty area can still bring a certain threat. Sterling's shot from the far point of the penalty area missed due to the interference of Marquinhos.
Meunier immediately shouted twice at Verratti, "If you can help defend and have an effect, then help defend. If you can't defend, don't join in the fun!"
At this time, both teams have tried their best defensively!
Both teams attach great importance to defense, and they also try their best to arrange targeted defense for key players. What role does team defense play?
The most advanced one, of course, is to completely prevent the opponent's offense from posing a threat and ensure the absolute safety of the defense line.
The next best thing is to at least contain the threat of the opponent's individual soldiers to the extreme.
Therefore, the more top-level matches are fought, the harder it is to see stars destroy the opponent's defense in one go.
If it happens, it will definitely have an explosive effect of increasing one's worth and improving ratings.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Di Maria accelerated the ball from the right, but gave up the breakthrough when Cancelo quickly returned to defense. After an emergency stop, he made a cross cut but completed the collision with Cavani who took the initiative to respond.
He came to the bottom line and swept the ball across the goal area. Ronaldo followed up in front of the goal and grabbed the point. Joe Hart took the lead and cleared the ball. If he didn't attack, Ronaldo would definitely score the goal!
In the final stage of the game, Ronaldo's condition after scoring the goal began to get better and better!
A minute later, Zhao Jinge once again received De Bruyne's pass in the frontcourt. This time Verratti quickly rushed in front of him and tried to close down.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinge changed the direction of the ball and started an inside cut! Verratti pounced too hard and Zhao Jinge passed him by.
Upon seeing this, Meunier quickly recovered the center to compress the space in the penalty area, and even prepared to fill in for Koscielny.
Zhao Jinge drove the ball into the middle area. He was as fast as a rabbit and his condition was obviously better than the others.
The chasing E abandoner tried to steal the ball from the side, but he smashed the ball and turned into a back body confrontation and knocked him away.
Koscielny stepped forward to defend cautiously, but Zhao Jinge took advantage of the situation and walked to the right in front of the Paris penalty area and volleyed!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
After cutting the line, Lloris made a flying save and touched the ball, causing it to go above the crossbar. The Manchester City fans in the audience sighed.
Just a hair’s breadth! In terms of state, Zhao Jinge is the most outstanding player on the field. This is obvious to all. The two previous goals can prove this!
In the 76th minute of the game, Dang'e abandoned the ball and sent a direct pass from behind the center line.
Cavani took the initiative and cooperated with Ronaldo against the wall. He turned around and penetrated into the middle of the penalty area.
When he stopped the ball, he moved the ball to the right. He thought he had dodged Kanter's leg-stretching attack, but was tripped to the ground by De Bruyne who stretched his leg from behind.
Cavani may not be able to penetrate Manchester City's defense alone.
But looking at the tendency of Di Maria and Ronaldo to move inward, it is obvious that Cavani's fulcrum and ball-making role are what Manchester City is most afraid of.
This time Paris Saint-Germain got a direct free kick from a good position.
Ronaldo stood in front of the football without hesitation, the focus of the audience, and he was used to it.
All Paris fans in the Parc des Princes are praying that they can use this hard-won free kick opportunity to rewrite the score!
Ronaldo took a deep breath and then took a running start. The football blasted out with his right foot was like a white rainbow, passing over the Manchester City penalty area and hitting the dead center of the goal!
Joe Hart didn't even make a save, and his helpless expression expressed the feelings of all the spectators: This ball is unsolvable!
"GOAL!!!!!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo scored directly from a free kick! Paris Saint-Germain once again leads the defending champion Manchester City on the score!
He once again showed incredible footwork. Ronaldo, who is already considered a veteran, is still a superstar on this planet!
Paris Saint-Germain fans cheered for joy, the boss, the king is back!
The total score is 6 to 6, and Paris Saint-Germain still has the final away goal advantage. If they can hold on for another fifteen minutes, they will get the coveted final ticket! "
Amelie rushed out from the home team's coaching bench on the side of the court, knelt on the side of the court and raised her hands excitedly, turning around. He was so distracted on the coaching bench just now, he really didn't expect that a turn of events would come so soon!
Guardiola was in the visiting team's coaching bench and felt like his teeth were about to be broken!
Allowing the opponent to score again, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paris Saint-Germain are like invincible Xiaoqiang, dragging Manchester City into the quagmire time and time again!
Guardiola has not faced such a difficult opponent for a long time. This year's Ligue 1 hegemon is almost dragging Manchester City to death!
“This Champions League semi-final between Paris and Manchester City is definitely one of the most exciting games in recent years.
The two teams have scored twelve wonderful goals so far. Although the tactics are conservative, the two teams have turned to burst out with stronger offensive firepower!
Zhao Jinge and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two superstars’ goal-scoring performances made people excited! "
Manchester City restarted, and they were currently lagging behind and had to launch a fast break again!
In the 80th minute of the game, Kyle Walker launched a fast break from the right. Mahrez received the ball in the frontcourt and knocked the ball back to the center. De Bruyne followed up and kicked the ball to the left frontcourt.
Zhao Jinge took the initiative to move and cut inside. Meunier followed up and found Sterling controlling the ball on the wing. He quickly returned to the wing to grab it.
However, Sterling knocked the ball across the middle. Zhao Jinge stopped and controlled the ball while running. Matuidi grabbed the ball. He pulled the ball in front of him and turned around to pull the ball. Marseille spun around to get rid of the ball.
Almost at the position where he had kicked to shoot a few minutes ago, when he was about to kick again, Verratti stretched his legs from behind and brought him to the ground again.
Manchester City fans were shouting madly in the stands.
I can't wait to rush onto the field and tear these bastards from Paris Saint-Germain apart!
Guardiola didn't dare to look. Reason told him that he should have replaced Zhao Jinge long ago. But if Zhao Jinge was replaced, Manchester City, which lacked its backbone, would never be able to successfully break through at this juncture!
No one except Zhao Jinge can lead Manchester City out of this tragic situation!
The Paris Saint-Germain generals surrounded the referee, and Marquinhos almost wanted to press the referee's hand that was holding the card.
Verratti himself offered a few words of pale defense and waited for the final verdict.
The referee finally gave him a yellow card, and then took out a red card!
Emery had no time to express any other emotions and quickly asked Lucas Moura to warm up.
Paris Saint-Germain was sent off!
Zhao Jinge once again received treatment from the team doctor and pain relief for the injury.
The team doctor advised him to leave the game, not because he can't hold on now, but if he continues to play, the probability of him being seriously injured will be very high.
PSG will not relax their restrictions on him because of his injury.
Zhao Jinge ignored the team doctor's advice, and it was impossible for him to reveal the news of his death to others.
After all, with a body of steel, even if the injury is a broken leg, it will only be a flesh wound in the end, but the skills will not relieve the pain. The severe pain in the leg will inevitably distract Zhao Jinge! It really hurts to the core!
When Zhao Jinge stood up again, the Parc des Princes stadium burst into earth-shattering cheers and applause!
Paris Saint-Germain made a substitution, Cavani came off and Lucas Moura came on.
Ronaldo directed his teammates to continue to maintain the system of 4 defenders and 3 midfielders and strengthen the defense. He and Di Maria charged into the battle.
Manchester City has a numerical advantage, and the full-backs take the initiative to increase their offensive aggressiveness, shuttling back and forth on both wings.
In the 84th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain successfully defended in the backcourt, and Echiang sent a medium and long pass from the backcourt.
After Di Maria passed half the ball, he made a stop and directly poked the ball behind Cancelo.
After Manchester City's formation presses forward, it is easy to be taken away by a wave of speedy forwards.
When Di Maria switched from overtaking on the outside to cutting inside, Cancelo saw Ronaldo also quickly advancing in the middle.
If Di Maria is allowed to send a through ball, I am afraid that the defense will be penetrated by Ronaldo again.
Therefore, he had no choice but to put the shovel on the spot. Di Maria took the lead and took the ball forward. Then he was kicked by Cancelo with a shovel from behind and hit his Achilles tendon. He rolled to the ground, holding his feet and looking in pain.
Emery raised his hands on the sidelines and roared: Why don't you give him ten red cards? !
The Manchester City generals began to plead for Cancelo again, but the referee still took out the red card.
Straight red!
Manchester City fans looked worried, their numerical advantage was gone again! Paris Saint-Germain makes another substitution.
Di Maria retired due to injury and Draxler came on.
Ten against ten.
Paris Saint-Germain only has one offensive point left, Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is also a little helpless.
But the current situation is that Paris Saint-Germain can advance to the Champions League semi-finals as long as they no longer concede goals.
Manchester City finally made a substitution, with Stones, Mane and Gundogan appearing together.
David Silva, Kompany and Sterling were removed.
After the substitutions, Manchester City changed to a two-four-three formation.
De Bruyne and Gundogan partnered in the middle, with Kanter and Kyle Walker trailing behind.
Mahrez, Mane and Zhao Jinge are the three forwards.
Laporte and Stones partnered as central defenders. Manchester City had no way out and could only attack.
Paris Saint-Germain made frequent clearances in the backcourt, and Ronaldo fought hard for every potential opportunity in the frontcourt. If he failed, he actively returned to defense.
Manchester City's continuous strong attacks looked like they were trying their luck, and crosses from the wing were frequently cleared.
In the 89th minute of the game, Kyle Walker received support from Mane when he attacked Kurzawa from the right. The two hit the wall and cooperated. After Mane went down, he sent the ball short into the right rib of the penalty area.
Marquinhos was keeping an eye on Mane, but Mahrez unexpectedly reached the area behind him to respond.
Mahrez touched the ball in front of the baseline and half-turned and passed back in an inverted triangle.
Koscielny blocked his passing route, and Matuidi returned to defense to make up for the loss.
When Zhao Jinge charged out from in front of him, he looked as if he was a killer!
Matuidi put a shovel in place to block Zhao Jinge's shooting route, but Zhao Jinge took the lead and pushed the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Lloris fell to the ground and pounced, but his extreme operation was too close to reach the target.
boom! The football hit the inside of the right post and bounced into the goal.
All the Paris Saint-Germain fans instantly collapsed! The traveling Manchester City fans were ecstatic.
Zhao Jinge was quickly surrounded by his teammates.
The roar of the crowd made him feel like his ears were ringing.
Guardiola, who was looking sad just now, clenched his fists and jumped up on the sidelines!
"Zhao Jinge! Zhao Jinge scored with a push! Manchester City equalized the score! The total score was 7 to 6, a miracle happened! Manchester City came back to life! Zhao Jinge scored a hat trick!
A week ago at the Etihad Stadium, Ronaldo's hat trick kept Paris Saint-Germain's hope alive. Today at the Parc des Princes, Zhao Jinge also scored a hat trick!
The rivalry between the two superstars was unforgettable.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored five goals in the two rounds, while Zhao Jinge scored six goals!
Zhao Jinge's three goals today were headers, long shots and points.
Exactly how Ronaldo scored at the Etihad Stadium a week ago!
Manchester City beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-3.
The total score is 7 to 6, leading again at the end of this game! "
Ronaldo was also physically and mentally shocked at this time.
When Zhao Jinge retreated into the backcourt and crossed with Ronaldo five yards apart, the two looked at each other.
Ronaldo gave a wry smile.
He lamented that his previous thoughts were a bit naive. He thought that Zhao Jinge's Champions League performance last season would be short-lived. Unexpectedly, when the season was about to end, he saw an enemy that was no less powerful than Messi at his peak.
Putting away the bitterness in his smile, his expression became serious and determined again. Even though he was almost thirty-three years old, he would never admit defeat.
Zhao Jinge didn't want to show any signs of weakness due to his injury.
Standing on the best stage of this era, fighting against the player he once dreamed of becoming, he would never take a step back until he had no choice.
After Zhao Jinge scored what could be called the winning goal, Paris Saint-Germain's last energy was completely shattered. Six minutes later, injury time also came to an end.
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and Manchester City finally got their ticket to the final!
"There was no overtime, and Paris Saint-Germain did not create a miracle at the end of the game. The winner of this knockout round is our defending champion Manchester City. They will defend the unprecedented Champions League title on June 7!"
