Chapter 352
Keane, the host of Sky Sports live broadcast, said excitedly: "Wow, Li Lei's goal really made the whole stadium boil! Manchester City took the lead at home, which is a perfect start for them!"
"Absolutely, Keane, Manchester City showed a very positive attitude after the start of the game."
"Their offense was well organized, the passes were accurate, and every attack was threatening. This goal was the result of their unremitting efforts."
"That's right, from the beginning of the game, we can see Manchester City's determination."
"They didn't give Barcelona too much Instead of controlling the ball, he kept putting pressure on the opponent through active pressing and tight defense. "
"Li Lei's performance today was undoubtedly outstanding. He kept threatening on the right and caused a lot of trouble for Barcelona's defense. "
"The run that scored was very smart. He seized the gap in Barcelona's defense and scored with a wonderful shot. "
"This goal also highlights the tacit understanding of Manchester City's attacking line. "
"Sterling's breakthrough on the left and Aguero's containment in the penalty area created conditions for Li Lei's scoring. "
" Manchester City's offensive organization is very smooth, and everyone knows their role. "
"Yes, on the other hand, we also see that Barcelona has encountered some difficulties on the offensive end. "
"Without Messi's organization, they seem a little weak in creating opportunities. "
"Suarez and Neymar's performance today is not outstanding enough. Manchester City's defense is very tight and it is difficult for them to find a breakthrough. "
"Barcelona needs to adjust its tactics as soon as possible and find new ways to attack. "
"The game has only been going on for less than 30 minutes, and everything is still uncertain, but there is no doubt that Manchester City has seized the initiative. "
"They took the lead at home and their morale was boosted. Next, they need to continue this momentum. "
"For Barcelona, they need to find a response plan as soon as possible. "
"Maybe they can consider strengthening the control of the midfield and creating more opportunities for Suarez and Neymar. "
"In short, this will be a very exciting game, let's wait and see!"
As the two commentators explained, Li Lei quickly refocused his attention and invested in the game after celebrating passionately with his teammates.
At this moment, Li Lei has undoubtedly become the focus of the whole audience.
His goal not only won Manchester City a valuable lead, but also proved his value to everyone.
However, for the Barcelona superstars on the field, they did not seem to change their views on Li Lei because of this goal.
In their eyes, Li Lei is still just a kid from Asia, and his goal is just a piece of shit luck.
In the last match, Li Lei did not have any particularly outstanding performance, which also made the Barcelona players not pay much attention to him.
Messi, Suarez, Neymar... These world-class stars have long been accustomed to galloping on the big stage. For rookies like Li Lei, they rarely take a second look.
Even this goal, in their view, is just a leak that Li Lei picked up and a piece of shit luck.
However, Barcelona's defensive players have to start paying attention to Li Lei.
If Li Lei continues to be left alone, the consequences may be serious.
So, they began to increase the intensity of their defense against Li Lei, closely guarding him, trying to cut off his connection with his teammates and prevent him from continuing to create threats.
For the Barcelona players, this was already a kind of "attention" to Li Lei.
After all, they are the world's top stars, and being able to spend more energy defending an Asian player is already a recognition in itself.
Perhaps it is because they have entered the knockout stage of the Champions League. In this game, Barcelona's players always give people a feeling of laziness and not being in good shape.
With the referee's whistle, the game was temporarily interrupted because of a foul.
Li Lei saw this dead ball opportunity and quickly ran to De Bruyne to communicate his ideas with him.
"Kevin, I always feel that Barcelona's players are not in good shape today. They give people a feeling of laziness. What do you think?" Li Lei asked, his eyes full of doubts.
De Bruyne nodded in agreement.
"Li, you are right. You are not the only one who feels this way. I also noticed that their performance today was indeed not as positive as usual."
Li Lei pondered for a moment, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.
"Kevin, in that case, why don't we score another goal? While they are not fully in the game, let's catch them off guard!"
De Bruyne smiled knowingly, obviously attracted by Li Lei's proposal.
"Good idea, Li! Let's work together to create another opportunity and give them a blow. Now is a great time for us to expand our lead!"
The two clapped their hands and swore, and soon returned to their respective positions.
The game resumed. Under the coordination of the people with intentions, the Manchester City players had more determination and fighting spirit in their eyes. They wanted to seize the opportunity of Barcelona players' poor condition, launch an attack again, and expand their lead.
Li Lei and De Bruyne kept communicating on the court. They conveyed information through eyes and gestures to find a breakthrough.
Soon, the opportunity came.
De Bruyne got the ball in the midfield, and he found Li Lei in the frontcourt with a precise long pass.
Li Lei started quickly, shook off the defensive players behind him, and rushed into the penalty area.
Barcelona's defenders obviously did not expect Manchester City to launch such a swift attack, and their reaction was a little slow.
Li Lei took advantage of the situation to break into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly chose the timing and angle of the shot.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed the ten fingers of the Barcelona goalkeeper, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal! 2:0! Manchester City scored again!
All the Manchester City fans in the stadium were boiling! They cheered and cheered for their team.
Li Lei and De Bruyne hugged each other excitedly, and their cooperation was successful again!
The Barcelona players seemed a little confused and frustrated, their strength should not be like this!
Gao Yi excitedly faced the camera, and his words were full of praise for Li Lei.
"Li Shen's performance in this game was amazing! First a beautiful goal, and now he has scored twice with the assist of De Bruyne. This is the rhythm of performing a hat trick!"
The fans in the live broadcast room were also boiling, and they expressed their opinions in the comment area.
"I said it a long time ago, Li Lei is the pride of our China! His performance in Manchester City has always been excellent, and those who question him are simply blind!" A fan named "Blue Moon Forever" typed excitedly.
