Jing Xue Qing Zhu
The first leg of the quarter-finals was won by Manchester United 4-3.
The second leg of the quarter-finals was won by Manchester United 1-0.
Manchester United won the two Champions League quarter-finals.
Not only a complete victory in terms of score, but also a complete victory at the tactical level.
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer analyzed these two games.
"In the two Manchester derbies, Mourinho used two different tactics.
“Although the forms were different, they all won in the end,
"This is the power of a master tactician!
"In the first game, Mourinho attacked with all his strength. The reason is very simple because many defensive players were absent due to injuries.
"But even if they gave up their most familiar defensive tactics,
“I can still play with full attacking power on the field.
“In the end we defeated Manchester City 4-3 at home.
"In today's game, Manchester United played with all its main players and the defensive front was well-organized.
"Mourinho retreated decisively and started to set up his bus.
“In the end, they relied on their solid front line to keep the goal.
“And he also scored a winning goal before the end, which completely killed the game.
"In front of the powerful Guardiola, Mourinho showed his master-level ability.
“Finally led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
“When we won the Europa League last season, some fans were unconvinced.
"They think Manchester United is not recovering and the Europa League title is too low.
“But look now, they are in the semi-finals of the Champions League!
"With such results, even if it ends here, this season has been quite successful!"
Alan Shearer praised Manchester United as always, while Carragher curled his lips next to him.
"Manchester United was able to win these two games because Mourinho did have a few tricks up his sleeve.
“But I think the key to them winning is because of xia.
"In the first game, Xia made three passes and one shot. He was the absolute contributor to the team's win.
“United wouldn’t be winning without his playmaking in midfield;
"In this game, Xiao retreated to the midfielder position and defended with all his strength to keep the goal.
“Without his defensive coordination in the midfield, Manchester United would not have kept a clean sheet.
"To say that Manchester United defeated Manchester City, it would be better to say that Manchester United had a super star on the field.
"Xia beat Manchester City, that's all."
Even if Manchester United won the ball, Carragher was still unwilling to acknowledge Manchester United's recovery and success.
But what he said is correct. Xia Xing was the absolute leader of the team in these two games.
The core of offense, the core of defense, and the core of technology.
It's a world of difference with him on the team and without him on the team.
Take a look at the Premier League game four days ago. It was also a Manchester derby. There was no Xia Xing in the first half and the team was swept 0-3. In the second half, Xia Xing came on as a substitute and created a four-goal comeback.
Xia Xing's role for this Manchester United is absolutely unparalleled.
On the offensive side, he is good at passing and shooting, which makes it difficult for the opponent to defend.
On the defensive level, his organizational skills are top-notch. Although he is young, he has a leadership temperament.
With his outstanding personal abilities, he is definitely the most comprehensive midfield star in international football today.
Even if we don't talk about technology, just relying on physical strength, he can be used as two people.
On the court, David Silva was exchanging jerseys with Xia Xing.
David Silva tried his best in this game, but still failed to help the team score.
Looking at the young Xia Xing in front of him, he admired it extremely.
Even though they were mortal enemies, he still chose to exchange jerseys with Xia Xing.
This is also a rare scene in Manchester derby.
After all, as mortal enemies, players from both sides rarely exchange jerseys after the game.
"Xia, you performed so well in this game. No, I should say that you have performed very well this season." "Thank you."
"Without you, Manchester United wouldn't be as strong as it is now."
"Thank you very much. The whole Manchester United team is very strong and I am just one of them."
"Oh, there is a villain in me who said to me, what should you say to see if you can find a way to lure Xia to Manchester City. But my reason tells me that even if you leave Manchester United one day, it is absolutely impossible to join. Manchester City’s.”
"Well, it's true. I've been a Manchester United fan since I was a child. Joining Manchester City or Liverpool is as outrageous as if I were to become a Japanese citizen."
"Young man, your future is limitless, but I really hope you can transfer and leave Manchester United as soon as possible so that we can feel less pressure to compete for the league title."
Players rarely chat with each other, Xia Xing and David Silva are exceptions.
However, Mourinho and Guardiola had a few words on the sidelines.
Guardiola was not in a good mood, but when Mourinho came up to him and offered to shake his hand, he couldn't say anything.
"Man, it's always exciting to compete against you."
"Forget it, I don't like fighting with you. Kicking a bus is boring."
"It doesn't matter, whatever you say is fine. Anyway, for me, winning is the most important thing, and everything else doesn't matter."
"With this season being so strong, aren't you afraid that you will run out of luck and run into trouble next season?"
"It doesn't matter. If I win the Champions League again, it doesn't matter if I'm fired next season."
"Well, good luck."
The lights at the Etihad Stadium looked dim today, and Manchester City's season can be said to have ended prematurely.
They lost the league, the League Cup, the FA Cup, and now they are on their way to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The next few remaining Premier League games are of little significance to them.
Even if they all win, it's impossible to reverse Manchester United's climb to the top.
Even if they all lose, it is almost impossible to lose the top four positions.
The season is over, it's all over.
Behind them is a dejected Manchester City, and the Manchester United soldiers can walk out of the Etihad Stadium with their heads held high.
One day later, the results of several other quarter-finals were also announced.
In the match between Liverpool and Juventus, Liverpool narrowly defeated Juventus.
The total score of the two rounds of the game was 5 to 2, and Liverpool passed the test in danger.
The combination of Firmino, Mane and Salah is invincible and is simply the most explosive strike combination this season.
Juventus' defense is under huge pressure and it is really difficult to withstand such a level of attack.
Juventus also has talented forwards on the front line. Mandzukic and Higuain are their important firepower output points.
However, only Mandzukic performed well in these two games.
One goal per game, Mandzukic performed well.
However, Higuain missed consecutive scoring opportunities, making coach Allegri shake his head on the sidelines.
In particular, Buffon received a red card and was sent off. Juventus, who played 10 on 11, completely lost the chance to advance.
After this game, head coach Allegri said bluntly: "We need stable goal points, especially in this strong dialogue."
These words seem to be aimed at Higuain, who is underperforming.
And this sentence also became the trigger for a transfer deal this summer... (End of chapter)
