Chapter 334 Etihad fans’ counterattack

In the first round match between the two sides, Manchester City not only won, but also scored three away goals.

In the era before the away goals rule has been abolished, this means that if Paris Saint-Germain wants to advance, it must score more than three goals on the road and need at least two goal differences.

A score of 2:0 will also result in elimination.

They had no choice but to attack with all their strength.

The players of Paris Saint-Germain will definitely have to fight against the odds.

Paris wants nothing in the league because they are destined to be champions.

Only by going further in the Champions League can we prove ourselves.

And Paris Saint-Germain fans are of course looking forward to this game.

Not to mention being behind by two goals, even being behind by three or four goals, they still believe that a miracle will come.

But the player who became known as the "Miracle Birth" was at Manchester City, not Paris Saint-Germain.

Because after Zhao Yi came to the Premier League, he chose to join a strong team like Manchester City, so the title "Miracle Birth" has not been mentioned for a long time.

Manchester City haven't needed a miracle to save them for a long time.

"This game is very difficult for PSG.

In the first round match between the two sides, Paris Saint-Germain's two wings became Zhao Yi's Silk Road.

Aurier and Maxwell were like new recruits in front of Zhao Yi.

Manchester City fans now like to call Zhao Yi their instructor.

It's because he faced Paris' defensive players like an instructor training new recruits, and he could play whatever he wanted.

We were even able to see some of the banners in the Manchester City stands via the broadcast cameras...

Not kind to PSG players.

This kind of banner usually does not appear at Etihad's home stadium. The reason for this is most likely because Manchester City fans believe that Zhao Yi was investigated by the anti-doping organization because of a report from a high-level Parisian.

The Paris leadership has never acknowledged this.

But Manchester City fans obviously don't believe it.

In this game, Paris Verratti is still absent due to injury, which is indeed a big blow to Paris' midfield defense.

If it is Ligue 1, Verratti's absence will not mean anything.

But in the Champions League, it can be clearly felt that Verratti is really important.

Paris coach Blanc made adjustments to the lineup.

A three-four-three formation was formed.

It seems that he is really ready to give it a try.

The front trident is still Di Maria, Ibrahimovic and Cavani.

Midfielder Rabiot, Motta, Van der Wiel, Matuidi.

Three central defenders: Marquinhos, David Luiz, Diego Silva.

Goalkeeper Trapp.

The three-center-back system has very high requirements for the two wing-backs.

Plays a very critical role on both offense and defense.

Not only do you need to provide assists, but you also need to be on defense immediately.

This formation will quickly form a numerical advantage when attacking, and it is also easy to make mistakes on the defensive end. Once the opponent seizes the gap on the two wings, the back line will be very passive and dangerous.

Obviously, Blanc came to the Etihad with the idea of success or failure.

In fact, Paris Saint-Germain does need the courage to fight against the odds. In the first round, Paris Saint-Germain's playing style was obviously unable to defeat Manchester City.

In this away game, Blanco took the initiative to change his formation, hoping to achieve some results.

For Manchester City, Guardiola did not rotate the lineup after they won the Premier League title in advance last week.

For this game, Manchester City did not relax at all.

The traditional formation of 4231.

The one at the front is still Aguero, behind him are De Bruyne, David Silva, and Sterling on both sides.

The positions of Sterling and Aguero have basically remained unchanged, while the positions of De Bruyne, Silva and Zhao Yi are often replaced.

Guardiola once made it clear in an interview that he hopes to see different performances from Zhao Yi and De Bruyne.

Now De Bruyne is placed in the middle position, which is the traditional No. 10 position.

We can see how De Bruyne performs and whether he can play the different performance Guardiola said.

Double midfielder Fernandinho partners with Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi's performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the first round was indeed surprising.

This season, he has shown an extraordinary offensive talent. In the last round of games, Zhao Yi not only completed his offensive tasks well, but also showed an incredible defensive level.

His defense against Di Maria and Rabiot was impressive.

In this game, he appeared in the midfielder position, and Guardiola should have made special arrangements for him.

On the back line, Clichy, Kompany, Stones, Sagna.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart. "

The Paris Saint-Germain players received special care from Manchester City fans as soon as they came on the field.

The bursts of boos made them feel a lot of pressure.

Nowadays, Manchester City fans generally rarely boo the visiting team.

This time, Manchester City fans were very angry because Paris Saint-Germain reported Zhao Yi.

If you can't kick him, just use this dirty trick.

This is simply an insult to football.

The players of Paris Saint-Germain suffered an unreasonable disaster, and it was not them who reported it.

But Manchester City fans don't care about that.

They booed at the top of their lungs, and fans held banners high.

Words like "despicable", "disgusting" and "clown" were written on them.

"Go back!"

"Open your hands!!"

"Surrender and lose half!"

"French clowns, show us your armpits!"

"You don't deserve to be in the same room as England and China!!"

"waste!!"

"When you fight, surrender, and when you lose, report it. I am France!"

"Knock off your dog legs!!!"

Manchester City fans not only shouted in English, but also those who were proficient in French shouted loudly in the stands, and there were even Portuguese-speaking fans shouting loudly, fearing that the Paris Saint-Germain players would not understand.

The atmosphere at the entire scene was extremely heated.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Manchester City took the edge and Paris Saint-Germain had the ball.

Paris Saint-Germain did not press heavily at the beginning. Instead, they controlled the ball and observed the positions of Manchester City players in an attempt to find offensive opportunities.

Manchester City were even less anxious because they had a two-goal lead in the first leg.

The stance is very solid.

Soon, PSG launched an attack through the wings.

Football appears on the left, and Rabiot and Di Maria have good breakthrough and assist abilities.

However, no good opportunities were found.

The ball kept spinning at the feet of PSG players, and it was difficult for Ibrahimovic to get out of position.

The football can only move around outside the penalty area.

When Rabiot and Motta cooperated to try to transfer the ball to the center, Zhao Yi suddenly started and cooperated with Sterling who retreated from the front to surround Rabiot.

Rabiot quickly adjusted his posture, not daring to pass the ball to Motta, and instead looked for Di Maria.

Seeing this, Sagna quickly ran into Rabiot's passing path, preventing him from completing the pass.

The moment Rabiot hesitated, the ball was cut off from his feet by Zhao Yisheng.

In the Etihad stand, a high-pitched call suddenly sounded.

"Rabio!!!"

Rabiot was stunned. He actually received cheers from so many fans in the away game? ?

"arrive!!!"

An overwhelming response came from the stands on the other side.

"Rabio!!!"

"arrive!!!!"

The sound enveloped the entire stadium, and Rabiot's face darkened.

"Hahahaha..." the Manchester City commentator couldn't help it.
