Chapter 447: Ronaldo overtakes Ronaldo in the Champions League top scorer list, Ronaldo declares dom

Missing a penalty kick is not a big deal, especially when Manchester City still wins, and Guardiola will not blame the players for it.

However, De Bruyne himself did not forgive himself easily. After this game, he added a penalty kick training to his daily training.

Although he does not have many opportunities to take penalty kicks, the number one penalty kicker in the Manchester City team is Lin Quan. As long as Lin Quan is on the court, he will basically cover all the penalty kicks.

But this does not mean that he can fail. If something like today's game happens in the future, when Lin Quan is not present and the coach and teammates entrust him with the responsibility of taking penalty kicks, he will not do enough. Wouldn't it be a mistake to make preparations again?

Guardiola sees De Bruyne's efforts and feels very gratified by the opponent's self-discipline. With De Bruyne's talent and the aggressive attitude he has shown so far, it is only time to become a world-class midfielder in the future. question.

On November 4, the fourth round of the Champions League begins.

Manchester City set off to challenge Sevilla away from home.

After Juventus was tied by Monchengladbach at home, the current qualifying situation in Group D is very complicated.

Except for Manchester City, which has won three games and topped the list, the other three teams are very close in points.

Juventus currently has 3 games, one win, one loss and one draw, and is currently in second place with 4 points.

Sevilla has one win and two losses and is temporarily in third place with 3 points.

Monchengladbach had one draw and two losses, finishing bottom of the group with 1 point.

In theory, these three teams have the possibility of qualifying, even Monchengladbach is no exception.

If they can beat Juventus at home and Manchester City beat Sevilla away from home, they can even jump up to second place in the group.

However, whether these teams can qualify is not only their own performance, but also the performance of the giant Manchester City in the group.

If Manchester City loses to Sevilla away from home, the situation will be very unfavorable for Juventus and Monchengladbach.

After playing back-to-back games against Manchester City, Sevilla's schedule is very friendly.

Facing Monchengladbach and Juventus, they have a high possibility of scoring points, so it is very possible to score nine points or higher and qualify from the group.

Therefore, for Juventus and Borussia Monchengladbach, they cannot afford to lose in this game and must go all out to win. At the same time, they hope that Manchester City will not let go, let alone lose the chain.

On November 4th, at 17:45 in the evening, the match between the two sides started at the same time.

Except for Manchester City, the coaching staff of the remaining three teams are very concerned about the real-time score of the other game.

For Manchester City, as long as they win this game, they will qualify from the group two rounds in advance.

Therefore, Guardiola had no intention of letting go, but instead strengthened his offense in the first half.

After Manchester City came to the away game, they turned the away game and launched an attack from the beginning, catching Sevilla by surprise.

In just 3 minutes, Lin Quan broke through the opponent's goal and helped Manchester City take the lead.

Eight minutes later, Kroos' long shot scored another goal, extending the score to 2:0.

In the 25th minute, Sevilla played a delightful ground game and successfully pulled a goal back.

La Liga teams focus on foot skills, and Sevilla is a strong team in La Liga, so it is not unusual to be able to play such ground coordination.

When Guardiola was coaching Barcelona, ​​he often played against Sevilla, but he was not shocked by it.

With a wave of his hand, he signaled the team to continue to strengthen their attack.

In the 35th minute, Manchester City retaliated with a series of exquisite coordination. In the end, Lin Quan and De Bruyne completed the collision with the wall, broke into the penalty area and succeeded in pushing the shot, completing the score twice.

Juventus and Monchengladbach were relieved to learn that Manchester City was leading their opponents 3:1 away from home.

However, when they took a look at their own score, none of them could laugh anymore.

In the 45th minute of the first half, the score between Juventus and Monchengladbach was 1:1.

Compared with the 0:0 in the previous game, both sides finally scored in this game, which can be considered an improvement.

If everyone scores a goal, it's no different than not scoring a goal.

If both teams only get one point, it's a lose-lose situation.

Juventus will face the powerful Manchester City in their next game. Unless Manchester City lets loose after qualifying early, they have little chance of winning.

This means that Juventus is very likely to be widened by Sevilla.

In the last round of the match, Sevilla faces Juventus at home. If the opponent has an advantage, they can advance smoothly as long as they draw at home, while Juventus will be eliminated.

Therefore, Juventus cannot afford to lose, nor can it afford to tie.

Allegri was very worried. Why is Borussia so difficult to play?

Although I heard that Borussia Monchengladbach is Bayern's nemesis, what does this have to do with me, an old lady?

Why do we even restrain ourselves?

He felt that he had never been so frustrated before when playing against Sevilla or even Manchester City.

Juventus has all the skills, but they can't use them at all. The German defense is like a rock, indestructible.

The head coach was anxious, and the Juventus players on the court were naturally anxious too.

In a hurry, they made too many moves when fighting and defending, and received three yellow cards in succession.

The turning point of the game occurred in the 53rd minute of the second half. Juventus midfielder Hernanes showed the sole of his shoe during a tackle and was directly shown a red card by the referee and was sent off the field.

Juventus, playing away from home, had to face their opponents with a 10-man lineup!

With one less player, the situation was very unfavorable for Juventus. Even if Allegri couldn't accept it in his heart, he had to substitute players to strengthen the defense at this time and let the team shrink its defense line.

Anyway, getting one point is better than getting no points.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to be tied by Borussia two consecutive games, it is even more embarrassing to lose.

…

Just when Juventus tended to be conservative, on the other side, Sevilla's head coach chose to risk his life.

After the start of the second half, he replaced three offensive players one after another in an attempt to reverse the defeat.

However, Manchester City's defense is among the best in Europe, so how can it be so easily broken?

Guardiola saw the fierceness of his opponent's offense, so he took the initiative to make the team's formation retreat, and arranged for Son Heung-min, a fast horse on the wing.

That intention is almost written on his face: If you dare to come over, I will fight back!

We are not afraid of strong teams playing pressing offense, but we are afraid of strong teams playing defensive counterattacks.

With the personal strength of their players, once such a top team strikes back, it will be very powerful.

After Son Heung-min came on the court, he was very active and frequently made extremely threatening attacks.

Unfortunately, I was a little unlucky. Both shots missed the goal by a hair.

But his intimidation on the court has been demonstrated, and Sevilla was suddenly in a dilemma.

A strong attack cannot gnaw at the opponent's defense, and a defense cannot defend the opponent's counterattack.

Time passed little by little, and in the end Sevilla had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat at home.

As a result, Manchester City qualified for the group stage two rounds ahead of schedule, and they can now consider their opponents in the knockout rounds.

On the other side, although Juventus defended in a very embarrassing manner, with Buffon's superb performance, they finally maintained the tie until the end.

After scoring 1 point, Juventus's points also reached 5 points. Although it is not enough to determine qualifying, it can at least help them stabilize their second position in the group.

As for Borussia Monchengladbach, they have only scored 2 points in four games. Although they still have hope of qualifying in theory, in fact this hope is already very slim.

In this round of group matches, the four Premier League teams have three wins and one loss, and the loser is naturally Arsenal.

At the Allianz Arena, they were beaten by Bayern.

Goals from Muller, Lewandowski, Alaba, Robben and others caused Arsenal to suffer a 1:5 defeat at the hands of their opponents.

After two rounds, Arsenal was bombarded by Bayern with 10 goals and only scored 3 goals.

This result not only reflects Bayern's strong offensive power, but also is a true portrayal of Arsenal's weak defense.

The defeat in this battle allowed Arsenal to swallow the bitter fruit of four consecutive defeats in the Champions League, and ranked last in the group with a record of 0 points.

But even so, Arsenal still has theoretical hope of qualifying.

In this round of competition, after missing a penalty kick, Olympiacos was defeated by the opponent before the end and failed to qualify two rounds in advance.

The current points in Group F are that Bayern has 12 points for winning four games, Olympiacos has 6 points for two wins and two losses, Dinamo Zagreb also has 6 points for two wins and two losses, and Arsenal has lost 4 games and has 0 points. .

As long as Arsenal can win the last two games, and Olympiacos and Dinamo Zaregeb do not score a single point, and are beaten by their opponents with exaggerated scores, they will be able to overtake their opponents with their goal difference advantage. Successfully promoted.

However, this hope of qualifying seems too slim.

Not only does Arsenal have to look forward to recovering in form and defeating these two teams, but they also need Bayern to hold on and massacre these two teams with a big score.

Otherwise, Arsenal, which currently has a goal difference of 9, will not be able to qualify anyway.

"It's too difficult. It's really difficult for Arsenal to qualify this year!"

"There is only theoretical hope left!"

"In fact, after losing to Bayern at home in the last game, I felt that Arsenal had no hope!"

"Yeah, even if they lead 2:0 at home, they can be reversed by Bayern. How can we count on them in the away game? That's Bayern!"

It goes without saying that Bayern is powerful. From last year's Champions League semi-final match between them and Manchester City, the world has already seen Bayern's terrifying strength.

Arsenal's current lineup is not good, and their tactics are not good. If they encounter such a wolf-like Bayern, they will really only be tortured.

However, even if Gunners fans admit the objective gap between the two teams, they still feel sad when recalling the disastrous home defeat.

What a great opportunity!

A 2-goal lead was reversed!

Where can I reason from this?

After so many years, the Gunners' mentality is still the same: they are great when the wind is blowing, but they collapse when the wind is blowing.

Compared to the unlucky Arsenal, fans of Manchester City, Manchester United and even Chelsea felt particularly comfortable at this time.

Needless to say, Manchester City has already qualified two rounds ahead of schedule.

As for Manchester United, after defeating CSKA Moscow at home in this round, they ranked first in the group with 7 points, and their qualifying situation is excellent.

If Manchester United wins the next two games, they will be declared qualified.

As for Chelsea, although their league ranking has dropped to 15th, their performance in the Champions League is very impressive.

In this round of games, Chelsea defeated Dynamo Kiev 2:1 at home, reaching 7 points in the group. They defeated Portuguese Super League hegemon Porto with a goal difference and ranked first in the group. The qualifying situation is excellent.

Taking into account the strength of the opponents in the group, Chelsea's qualifying spot should be stable.

Three of the four Premier League teams ranked first in the group, which is enough to make Premier League fans proud and proud.

What is the world's No. 1 league (tactical pushback)?

What?

There are also three top teams in La Liga next door?

oh! That’s okay!

La Liga fans naturally sneer at the Premier League fans' self-proclaimed No. 1 league in the world.

Of the three top teams in your group, apart from Manchester City, the remaining two don't have much of an advantage at all.

However, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga have maintained an unbeaten record and are at least 3 points ahead of the second place. It can be said that they are stable and able to qualify.

Moreover, these three La Liga teams have the potential to reach the semi-finals if they qualify from the group stage.

As for the Premier League, apart from Manchester City, the remaining two teams are not even guaranteed to be in the top eight, let alone the top four.

The words of La Liga fans also made Premier League fans dismissive:

With Barcelona's current state, do you think they can break into the semi-finals?

Only a ghost can believe it!

However, Barcelona's current poor record is due to Messi's absence due to injury. By the time the knockout rounds begin, Messi has long since returned from injury.

By then, Barcelona will be resurrected with full health. Unless they encounter the three top teams in Huangren City in advance, there is still a high hope of reaching the semi-finals.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo did not score in this round of games, this is the second consecutive game in which Cristiano Ronaldo has scored zero goals.

As a result, Lin Quan overtook Ronaldo by one goal in the Champions League scorer list and returned to the top of the list.

This is not a big deal. Both of them are top scorers. Scoring goals is as simple as eating and drinking for them.

It's just that Ronaldo's goal drought for two consecutive games has made the outside world start to worry about his condition.

Kicker Magazine reported: "Cristiano Ronaldo, who was born in February 1985, is about to turn 31. For players of his age, his condition and ability will gradually decline. This is an irreversible process.

Lin Quan is still very young. He is 11 years younger than Ronaldo and is only 20 years old this year.

As we all know, the golden age of athletes is 23 years old, which means that in the next few years, Lin will become stronger and stronger, while Ronaldo and Messi will gradually decline.

Therefore, this is probably Ronaldo's last chance to compete with Lin Quan for the Champions League Golden Boot!

If you miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to get this title in the future! "

The reporting and analysis of this article are actually very reasonable, but for the strong Ronaldo, how could he accept such an arbitrary conclusion from the reporter?

So, he posted on social media: A truly strong man will not be bound by age!
