Chapter 348 Real Madrid, finished
Etihad Stadium.
As always, there were huge crowds of people.
The semi-finals of the Champions League are a height that Manchester City has never reached.
The fans cheered.
Fresh, exciting, thrilling.
The blue of Manchester City floats over the Etihad.
The fans were singing Manchester City's "Blue Moon" loudly.
The dream came true, the Champions League semi-finals.
No matter how glorious Manchester United has been, no matter how many Premier League titles and Champions League titles Manchester United has won.
But today's Manchester must be blue.
City blue!
The showdown between Real Madrid and Manchester City attracted a large number of fans from all over the world to stop and watch.
Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt configuration is far behind Real Madrid's.
On the defensive line, the reputation and strength of the players on both sides are also obviously different.
The only good thing about Manchester City is that Real Madrid's away record this season is very erratic.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
But in the Champions League semifinals, Real Madrid will definitely pursue stability and not be as careless as before.
Players from both sides stand in the tunnel.
In Europe now, La Liga is undoubtedly the first league, and the Premier League is in a semi-sinking state.
As a Spanish Super League team above La Liga, Real Madrid's players are worth a lot of money.
Now these world's top stars are standing next to Zhao Yi.
But Zhao Yi was not nervous.
Because he firmly believes that if these Real Madrid players are bright stars, he will be the dazzling sun!
Zhao Yi took the initiative to greet Ronaldo.
The two are both owned by Nike and have collaborated several times before.
And at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, with the help of Ronaldo, Zhao Yi had a lot of extra shots.
Ronaldo's character is full of pride and paranoia.
But he had a very good impression of Zhao Yi.
Mainly because Zhao Yi, a talented young man, behaved very low-key in front of him.
He also praised him, calling him the strongest forward and the most outstanding attacker in history. He even said that he would lead Portugal to win the European Cup and be the most popular player for the Ballon d'Or next year.
This set of small combos coaxed Ronaldo into giving up.
The cheers at the Etihad Stadium reached another climax as players from both sides emerged from the tunnel.
The Champions League semi-finals have finally begun.
“Come on Manchester City!!!”
"Come on Blue Moon!!!"
"The Premier League belongs to blue, the Champions League belongs to blue!!!"
"Zhao!! Come on!!! Goal, goal!!!!"
Manchester City fans roared excitedly, and the few Real Madrid fans also shouted, but they were completely drowned out.
This is the case in the away game, and we will definitely lose due to the momentum.
Meanwhile, commentators around the world went about their work.
Before this game, these people had already analyzed the current situation of both sides.
Manchester City has won consecutive games and is in perfect condition.
Although the lineup is inferior to Real Madrid, the state is still very useful in knockout matches like the Champions League.
Therefore, many people are optimistic that Manchester City can remain unbeaten at home.
"Zidane still arranged a 433 formation.
After a season of running-in, this lineup has become perfect.
The trident in the frontcourt has fierce firepower and a tacit cooperation.
In the entire football world, perhaps only Barcelona's MSN combination can rival it.
Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale!
Cristiano Ronaldo, together with Messi, created the most glorious period in football.
There is no need to say more about the greatness of these two people.
Benzema is definitely a world-class center. He is willing to be a green leaf in the Real Madrid team and is diligent and diligent.
Bell should be the fastest winger in football today. His most well-known and shocking scene is overtaking from the outside and overwhelming defenders.
In today's football, full-backs who can completely use their speed to guard him may not exist yet.
Once C. Robert and two super wingers rush forward, Manchester City's defenders may face a lot of pressure.
Behind them is the three midfielders, Modric, Casemiro and Kroos! "
In the middle of the ceremony, even if he is famous, he is definitely a terrifying existence whose strength is greater than his fame.
Modric is the true trinity of passing and shooting. Many people ignore his ability on the defensive end because of his offensive talent.
This Croatian superstar can maneuver both vertically and horizontally. He can also focus on the opponent's arrows when retreating. He is truly capable of both offense and defense.
Under his leadership, Croatia, a small European country, has long been at the forefront of Europe in the field of football.
Kroos, a true coach, Real Madrid's offensive commander, sits in the midfield and has superb passing vision and skills.
With the ball at his feet, there are almost no mistakes.
The most terrifying thing is his passing stability, passing the accurate route at the most correct time.
Casemiro, who is in the deep position, is the king of the backcourt.
As the last barrier in the midfield, you can always trust Fat Tiger.
The real sword strikes immediately, and one man is in charge.
He also has unique skills such as long-range shooting and heavy artillery attack.
An enhanced version of Fernandinho.
Even after Casemiro, who is in his thirties, joins Manchester United, he can still help the poor with technology in the Premier League and become the most reassuring part of Manchester United. What's more, this beast of a defensive midfielder who is now at the peak of his career?
"The double central defender Ramos and Varane have height, speed and strength."
The two central defenders are paired together in attack and defense, but there is only one shortcoming.
Likes to lose focus on the court.
Some weird mistakes occurred out of nowhere.
"Marcelo at left back and Carvajal at right back."
Because Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale have to retreat to defend in Zidane's tactical system, the defensive pressure on the two full-backs is reduced, allowing the two to have more energy to set up sides and become two sharp knives that penetrate the opponent's hinterland.
For Manchester City's two-wingers, they must not only guard against Cristiano Ronaldo, but also guard against these two full-backs who have speed, breakthroughs and crosses.
It’s stressful.
"Goalkeeper Costa Rica's national goalkeeper, that wall, Navas!"
Navas is short in stature, extremely responsive, and has excellent goal-line skills.
He is extremely accurate in judging the shooting route, and is good at shooting from close range and making follow-up saves.
Due to his body size, he is slightly less capable of shooting precise and violent shots from sudden cold arrows.
"For Manchester City, it is still a 4231 formation, with Aguero at the front.
Zhao Yi was assigned to the left wing in this game, and he is likely to have a lot of defensive tasks.
After all, Manchester City is facing the Great St. Bell on the left.
De Bruyne serves as the attacking midfielder, and Sterling occupies the right wing.
Double defensive midfielder Fernandinho and David Silva.
Four defenders, Clichy, Kompany, Stones, Sagna.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart.
In the attack, Silva should step in, and Stones will step forward to take over the defensive midfielder position.
According to Guardiola in an interview, Stones received Zhao Yi's suggestion for his playing style from central defender to defensive midfielder.
His performance in this position is really quite good.
Guardiola has said more than once that Zhao Yi will become a very good coach after he retires in more than ten years. "
Aguero stood in the middle circle and glanced at Zhao Yi, who was quite calm.
Not long ago, Zhao Yi's words in the locker room still made his blood boil.
The Manchester City players were under a lot of pressure at the time. As captain, Kompany said some encouraging words, but the effect was not great.
Guardiola actually asked Zhao Yi to stand up and say a few words.
It can be seen that Zhao Yi is full of talent for scoring goals, but he does not seem to be good at pre-match speeches and seems a little nervous.
He took a few deep breaths and looked around at the teammates who were far more qualified than him. In the end, he still didn't have stage fright.
"I...started at Wolverhampton Wanderers and I was always the one who wasn't good at motivating my teammates with words.
I am a practical person, and I am more accustomed to scoring goals on the court to tell my teammates that we can win.
This time, I don’t need to say anything inspiring to encourage everyone.
Because in the Premier League and the Champions League, I used goals and assists to achieve victory after victory with everyone.
This time, like always, we will win together.
Now we go out into the Etihad, to the loudest cheers of the fans, and let everyone at Real Madrid know.
Tonight, at the Etihad, with fans around the world watching... Real Madrid is finished. "
