Chapter 403

In the stands, Leverkusen fans fell silent, their faces full of disappointment and frustration.

Before they could recover from the sudden goal loss, the game had already started again.

Leverkusen's head coach walked around anxiously on the sidelines, and at this moment he kept shouting to the players on the field, trying to adjust their tactics.

"Strengthen defense! Pay attention to Manchester City's counterattack!"

"Don't let them score again! We still have a chance!"

The coach's voice, mixed with the shouts of fans and players, seemed a little inaudible.

But Leverkusen's players seemed to have heard the coach's instructions, and they began to strengthen their defense to try to stop Manchester City's attack.

The rhythm of the game seemed to become more compact after this goal.

Leverkusen, under the pressure of the home court, began to attack frantically, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible and regain the initiative of the game.

Manchester City, on the other hand, was more cautious.

They continued to strengthen their defense and also looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Every attack of Leverkusen will be neutralized by them. And every counterattack of Manchester City makes Leverkusen fans hold their breath.

The game, in such a rhythm, gradually became stalemate.

Gao Yi also saw Leverkusen's eagerness, and he said to the microphone: "Leverkusen is very anxious now, they need to score as soon as possible, otherwise as time goes by, it will become more and more difficult for them to open Manchester City's defense."

The fans are also discussing the direction of the game.

"Manchester City is now in an advantage, but the game is not over yet."

"Leverkusen still has a chance, they need to seize every opportunity."

"This game is about will and perseverance. Whoever can hold on to the end will win."

Compared with the discussion between Gao Yi and the fans, at this time in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, the commentary of the commentator Keane and the guest Jones seemed more professional.

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, two senior football analysts are having an in-depth discussion.

The host Keane said: "This goal reflects Manchester City's tactical quality. Their defensive counterattack is simply textbook perfect."

"That's right," his partner Jones echoed, "Manchester City's offense and defense conversion speed is very fast, which makes Leverkusen's defense seem a little flustered."

"Especially Kompany's interception is really the key. Without him, there might not be Li Lei's goal later."

Keane nodded and continued to analyze: "Li Lei's performance is also very good. His off-ball running provides many options for Manchester City's offense."

"And that long shot shows his outstanding personal ability."

"Li Lei has grown into an indispensable part of Manchester City." Jones said, "His speed, his skills, his awareness, are all very good. I think he is one of the best young players of his age now."

"Leverkusen is under a lot of pressure now," Keane said, changing the subject. "They need to adjust their status as soon as possible, otherwise they may be pulled away by Manchester City."

Jones agreed: "Leverkusen's defense has some problems. They gave Manchester City too much space. If they can't adjust quickly, they may lose the ball again."

"But we can't ignore Leverkusen's offensive potential." Keane added, "They have an excellent striker like Benzema. If they can give him enough support, they still have a chance to equalize the score."

"Yes, the game is not over yet." Jones said, "It's too early to make a conclusion now. Let's wait and see if Leverkusen can turn the situation around."

The discussion between the two analysts provided another perspective for the audience in front of the TV. Their professional insights made the details of the game clearer.

The game is still going on. As time goes by, the situation becomes more complicated.

Manchester City, with the advantage of the lead, began to control the ball and tried to waste time by passing the ball, while Leverkusen kept passing long balls to try to find opportunities for Benzema and other forwards.

Every shot, every tackle, could change the direction of the game.

In the commentary booth, Keane and Jones continued their analysis.

"Manchester City's current style of play is very smart." Keane said, "They are controlling the rhythm and slowing down the game, which is very disadvantageous to Leverkusen."

"Leverkusen needs more patience." Jones suggested, "They can't rush for success, otherwise it will be easy for Manchester City to seize the opportunity to counterattack."

After falling behind by one goal, Leverkusen stepped up their offensive and tried to find scoring opportunities through quick passes and side breakthroughs.

The game, under the professional commentaryIt becomes more fascinating as the details are magnified and every decision is analyzed.

For Leverkusen, the more anxious the players are, the more mistakes they make. Every attempt they make seems to create opportunities for Manchester City unintentionally.

Manchester City's midfielder showed their strong strength. In the fights again and again, they can always take the lead and keep the ball at their feet.

Fernandinho, the Manchester City midfielder, successfully intercepted Charles Aranguiz's ball in a defense.

He did not stop, but immediately handed the ball to Navas who came to meet him.

The latter, a highly skilled Spanish international, made a decision the moment he received the ball.

In his field of vision, he keenly captured Li Lei on the wing, and with a precise pass, the ball went straight to Li Lei like a sharp arrow.

The moment he received the ball, he started his performance, and he ran freely in Leverkusen's half with his long legs.

Leverkusen's defenders seemed helpless in the face of Li Lei's speed. They tried to stop him, but Li Lei always found space and opportunities.

In the 25th minute of the game, Manchester City scored again. This time, the protagonist of the goal was Sergio Aguero.

This goal also came from a quick counterattack.

Under the pressure of the opponent's defenders, Aguero showed his extraordinary calmness. He broke through the middle and cleverly avoided the interception of the defenders.

And at this moment, Li Lei's cross arrived.

Aguero did not hesitate. He grabbed the point in the penalty area and sent the ball into the net with a precise shot.

2-0! Manchester City once again expanded its lead.

In the stadium, Manchester City fans cheered, waving the blue moon flag and singing victory songs.

Leverkusen fans fell into silence, their faces full of disappointment and frustration.

This season, they had such high expectations for this team, but now these expectations seem to have become a bubble.

In the coaching booth, Leverkusen's head coach was full of worry. If the situation cannot be reversed as soon as possible, this game may completely lose suspense.

However, what can they do in the face of such a strong offensive from Manchester City?

"Leverkusen is now under great pressure. They need a miracle to reverse the direction of this game."

In the live broadcast room, Keane and Jones were also discussing this goal.

"Aguero's performance once again proved his value," Keane said, "He is a natural shooter who can always score goals for the team at critical moments."

"Li Lei's pass is also very good," Jones added, "his cooperation with Aguero has become a weapon for Manchester City's offense."
