Nine and a half

Chapter 245 Champions League Final Four (Daily Transition)
As soon as the game is over.

All major media outlets published articles.

Manchester Evening News: Facing the extremely tough Iberian Shield, King Etihad created 7 key threats in a single game, showing his kingly style.

"Marca: Although Morata wasted many good opportunities, he scored a crucial goal. I believe he will return to Real Madrid in the near future."

"The Sun: Blind spot? A size nine and a half with eyes all over his body."

"EFE: The Bed Sheet Army went on an expedition to England, showing the ultimate geometric cutting on the green field, but finally fell on the road of pursuing their dreams."

Sky Sports Studios.

Neville fell silent again.

Lineker boasted: "Did you see it? Gao showed his organization and threatening passes tonight. He made me feel like I was a piece of shit when I was young!"

"Unlike the first leg, he tore Atletico's defence apart in depth tonight at the Etihad."

Henry holds his chin: "When I was young, I dreamed about what kind of attacker I would become"

Alan Shearer interrupted: "Become Gao like this."

Unsurprisingly.

At the end of this season, if Gao Qi can lead Manchester City to create a dynasty and reach the top of Europe.

The Little Britain media will go crazy with the marketing.

The Premier League urgently needs a superstar who is full of honors.

“First time in team history!”

"Manchester City advances to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in history!"

"The 1.5 million man helped the Blue Moon break the team's record and become the tenth English team to reach the Champions League semi-finals."

"Gao Qi and Manchester City will continue their legendary journey on the Champions League stage!"

“Tough game.”

“A hard-earned victory.”

"Congratulations to Manchester City."

"Blessings to Atletico Madrid."

"The Bed Sheets showed unparalleled tenacity, defensive depth, diamond cutting, wing driving, space squeezing, transition offense... They did an excellent job."

"The camera turned to Torres on the bench. Unfortunately, he is no longer the talented teenager who emerged from nowhere for Atletico Madrid."

The commentator spoke in rapid succession.

Coach Zhang was shocked by the statistics of the whole game: they were all monsters, they could run and crash so fast.

Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City fans celebrated wildly.

The Middle Eastern oil tycoons in the VIP box no longer cared about their manners.

The team has advanced to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in history. Is the final far away?

The upstart Blue Moon is pointing its sword towards the top of Europe.

"1.5 million, what a bargain!"

"We still have to buy players in the summer window!"

"Who to buy?"

"If a player is expensive, let Begiristain make the offer!"

"Should we continue to talk to Guardiola?"

The tone was hesitant.

No reply was received.

Influenced by Barcelona's Dream Team III, the Abu Dhabi consortium likes Guardiola very much.

A long time ago, I wanted to invite Guardiola to Manchester City to establish a "bottom-up system".

I hope to achieve the same effect as Cruyff's reform of the Barcelona system.

On the green field.

Gao Qi was excitedly surrounded by assistant coaches, team doctors, and logistics staff.

There was a cheerful atmosphere in the air.

Playing Atletico is too tiring.

De Bruyne, David Silva, Yaya Toure and others slumped on the grass, their brains giving up thinking.

"How did Gao do it?"

"What?"

"The pass that just went past the Atletico defence"

"That's too handsome, forget it. I'm so tired. I don't want to talk now."

Joe Hart and his teammates on the back line hugged each other tightly, their expressions like European refugees who had survived a disaster: Fortunately, this Atletico Madrid does not have that kind of supermodel striker.

Pellegrini was so excited that he danced with joy. The old coach had a feeling that he would achieve the highest achievement in his coaching career this season.

the other side.

Simeone shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the passage silently.

Tonight was thrilling.

He saw Gao Qi's ability to create space between Atletico's lines.
Even the peak MSN Barcelona may not be able to create so many killing opportunities in a single game!
In just one week.

In the end what happened?
How could a Chinese kid destroy Atletico Madrid's defense so easily?

Thinking about it.

Simeone is a little regretful about selling Diego Costa to Chelsea.

In last season's Champions League, Atletico Madrid played against Real Madrid. Diego Costa was injured a few minutes after the start of the game and the team was scored by Ramos in the final moments.

Is he good at coaching forwards, or is it because Falcao and Diego Costa happened to play for Atletico Madrid during their heyday?

wrong.

If there were sufficient funds, Atletico Madrid should have bought Gao Qi or Morata at all costs in the early years.

Griezmann and Turan had a few words.

One thinks that the opponent's interweaving and running is out of sync.

Another thought was that the opponent played in the nine-and-a-half position but his ability with the ball was too average and he was unable to shoulder the responsibility of breaking the formation.

Noisy and noisy.

The two calmed down, and the same thought emerged in their hearts: I won't have to endure this kind of bullshit when I go to Barcelona in the future.

Godin walked to the sidelines and was immediately surrounded by cameras.

"Is it difficult to face Gao Qi Manchester City? Or is it difficult to face MSN Barcelona?"

“It’s all very difficult.”

"I don't want to say too much, Atletico Madrid may lose to the Champions League winners in a few months."

"Gao is a monster. His performance tonight was even more terrifying than last week. Miranda and I had a very profound experience."

not far away.

Morata seriously explained the reason for the crazy celebration to his two old playmates Koke and Saul.

The spotlight flashes.

Salutes and fireworks rang out.

Blue confetti flying in the wind.

Gao Qi and his teammates expressed their gratitude to the fans of Etihad.

A mechanical and cold electronic synthesized sound sounded quietly.

【Champions League match day mission completed.】

[Task receipt: With the help of the Eternal Legend module, you easily defeated the Sheet Army in a last-ditch battle, helped Manchester City create a team record, and reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time! ]

[Mission Reward: Atletico Madrid Platinum Treasure Box. ]

The gray-white treasure chest shines even brighter under the spotlight.

Accompanied by cheers from the stands.

Gao Qi felt like he was standing right in the center of the MVP settlement screen.

[Platinum treasure box is opening]

[Congratulations on winning Simeone's "Some Thoughts on the Number Nine Position". ]

There is no increase in physical ability.

A series of letters and graphic symbols emerged in Gao Qi's mind.
He finally shook his head.

He got rid of these "football philosophies" that were not suitable for him at the moment.

Post-match press conference.

Pellegrini was filled with emotion:
"Without Gao, we might not have been able to get past Atletico Madrid."

"Morata's goal was also crucial. He did not waste the chance created by Gao Qi at that moment." "Manchester City will be fully prepared for the Champions League semi-finals."

The white light on the ceiling illuminated the Blue Moon team logo and also reflected the joy on the old coach's face.

It seems that after overcoming such a tough opponent as Atletico Madrid, the rest of the Champions League journey will be smooth sailing.

Two days later.

The Champions League semi-finals are born.

Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona.

All major sports websites also posted photos of Gao Qi, Neuer, Buffon and Messi.

"Gao Qi and Manchester City are writing the legend of Europe's new elite."

"10,000-word long article analysis: How Gao Qi created seven absolute threats in a single game in a difficult and strangled environment, and on the parallel positioning and front and back positioning of the two forwards. "

"Player Psychology: Why does Morata repeatedly waste great opportunities?"

"After the second leg of the match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, several gamblers around the world committed suicide."

"Can Guardiola's Bayern Munich win the European championship?"

"The Zebras built by Allegri around Pogba are invincible. "

"Enrique's MSN Barcelona already has all the conditions to dominate Europe."

The number of comments, likes, and reposts skyrocketed.
-
[Is Pogba so strong now? He has become the core of Juventus' midfield! ]
-
[Of course, he was trained by a group of seniors. I heard that Real Madrid is going to use Kroos + 1.2 million to exchange for Pogba? Manchester United also wants to buy him back. ]
-
[Has he ever won the Champions League? He is inflating his price.]
-
[Really, I watched Juventus' games, Pogba is really strong this season, invincible both frontally and behind the ball. ]
-
[Pogba should stay under Allegri, not go anywhere else, play seriously, and strive for national team honors in the big year. There is definitely hope for the Ballon d'Or.]
-
[Bayern is also very strong this season, but they are too unlucky. The goalposts at Munich's home stadium didn't give them face. ]
-
[It’s a pity that the Champions League has cancelled the upper and lower half, and there will be another draw before the semi-finals. 】
-
[I feel that the systems of these four teams have been well-coordinated, and any one of them will be of finals quality.]

The battle with Atletico Madrid was too tiring.

The injuries of all sizes on the body are also slowly recovering.

Gao Qi played stand-alone games at home for two full days before gradually recovering his normal combat effectiveness.

The various properties in the system panel have also returned to normal floating values.

knock knock knock.

The young assistant knocked on the door and came in, holding the tray steadily in his right hand.

"Gao, are you messing with the game again? You're not advancing the main storyline?"

"Is there a main plot for this game?"

"."

Gao Qi put down the handle and took the tray with food.

The protagonist on the screen was instantly killed by a hail of bullets.

If someone in the game obeyed traffic rules such as red and green lights, or jumped on a train to enjoy the scenery along the way, Gao Qi would definitely find it incredible.

"This tray is quite heavy. How do you hold it so steadily with one hand?"

"Haha."

The assistant said proudly: "Before I went to work at the Roma Club, I couldn't find a job, so I worked as a waiter in a hotel restaurant near the airport for a while!"

“That was a wonderful time.”

"Indians are very generous. When they shake hands with me, they will quietly put the tips hidden in their sleeves into my hands. But to be honest, even if they are high-caste Indians, I will worry that they will use their hands to wipe their butts, so I always spend the money they put in my hands in time."

"The guy would fold up the tip and quietly put it under the plate, then wave me over to collect the plate."

Gao Qi smiled and asked curiously, "Why would you tip secretly?"

The assistant said without hesitation: "Once the Italian supervisor finds out, that mean guy will make me hand over the tip."

"Ha ha!"

"Later, when I had saved enough money, I left the airport restaurant, rented a house in the Eternal City, and looked for a job that suited me. You all know the rest of the story."

Gao Qi smiled and praised the young assistant's reasonable planning.

When he smiled, the injuries on his body started to hurt again.

Simply finish your food.

He and his assistant were watching TV, waiting for the draw ceremony for the Champions League semi-finals.

"Which club would you like to be drawn?"

"It won't be Bayern again this year!"

While talking.

The TV screen began to broadcast the draw ceremony live.

UEFA Secretary General Infantino presided over the draw and exchanged a few polite words with the ambassador of the final organizer, former German striker Riedel.

Then he started to take out the small ball.

"Barca!"

"Bayern Munich!"

The first match result is announced, Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich.

Enrique vs Guardiola.

at the same time.

CTV5 live room.

Barrage flying.
-
[It’s safe, MSN Barcelona will definitely advance to the finals! ]
-
[Is Bayern very weak? I think it's a 50-50 situation at best! ]
-
[Will Guardiola be at a disadvantage against his old club? He is the man who knows the Barcelona system best! ]
-
[Time has changed. What has Enrique changed the Barcelona system into? Can Guardiola's Bayern withstand MSN? 】
-
[Fellow disciples fight each other, the confrontation between Enshen and Guardiola. 】
-
[Wait a minute, the result of the other semi-final match is: Manchester City vs. Juventus! Another battle between sword and shield! ]
-
[I want to emphasize again that Juventus likes to attack this season, not the shield form we imagined. ]

Barcelona.

Enrique was extremely excited.

As long as we beat Guardiola head-on in the semi-finals.

That would further prove your coaching level!
"I never worry about how good the other coach is."

Munich.

Bayern's assistant coach anxiously told Guardiola the result of the match.

The latter was writing and drawing at his desk.

Looked up.

He patted his bald head blankly.

"We will meet Messi in the semi-finals?"

“That’s kind of bad.”

Cheshire.

The young assistant quietly observed Gao Qi's expression.

"Gao? What are you expecting?"

There are four teams, and the result of the second match is needless to say.

Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Respect the lottery process."

The process will not be skipped.

We also need to distinguish between home and away games.

The Riddle on the TV screen didn't drag.

He is very skilled in breaking the small balls.

"Juventus!"

"Manchester City!"

In the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester City will first play at Juventus' home ground.

The camera slowly turned to the huge seating area. There were not many people, but the applause was very enthusiastic.

Far away Turin.

Allegri's face became solemn and gradually wrinkled into the shape of the word "囧".

It is because of this expression that he is affectionately called "Uncle囧" by Chinese fans.

Unfortunately.

Juventus has completed its running-in this season and its strength has greatly increased, but unfortunately its mechanism has changed a lot and it has been restrained by Pellegrini's Manchester City at the macro-tactical level.

Just like how Pedro's Manchester City was restrained by Atletico Madrid.

This involves the imbalance of offensive and defensive resources, rhythm, frequency and other factors.

Buffon laughed.

Chiellini and Barzagli looked serious.

Pirlo looked sleepy.

Pogba was full of fighting spirit, and his dark fists clenched involuntarily: "Finally, I met Gao in the Champions League semi-finals!"

"I will definitely defeat him!"

"Whether in the club or the national team!"

Vidal scratched his head: "National team? Then it's too unfair for you to compete with Gao. Besides, the Chinese team may not be able to enter the World Cup."

Pogba took it for granted, slapping his dark thigh with his dark palm: "I am French!"
