384 Chapter 366 Champions League semi-final

After a big away victory over Arsenal, Manchester City's failure to catch Manchester United in the standings is second. The most important thing is that with the help of bonuses, the low momentum of the players was swept away.

For Manchester City, this is a victory that swept away the haze, and for Yang Mo, this is also a crucial victory.

After this game, the system that had not moved for most of the season was finally upgraded.

LV27.

Looking at the new level and the extra ten talent points, Yang Mo did not hesitate, and quickly allocated them according to his previous plan.

Ball control and dribbling are a little bit, so that the upper limit of these two technical talents has reached the peak of 95 ball stars.

Shooting skills and shooting accuracy add two points each, which also makes the upper limit of these two talents reach the pinnacle of star stars.

Today, with the help of strong physical fitness, the peak technical talent of the star is enough to cope with the game.

During the game, his technical characteristics have been thoroughly studied by everyone. After his skills and body fully meet the needs of the game, it is time for him to consider strengthening other offensive methods.

So he added all the remaining four talents to the header, making the upper limit of the header talent reach 59.

Although it still looks shabby, it can bring about some changes. As long as it continues to increase, I believe it will soon become his new trump card.

After all, he is 186 tall, and he can't head the ball in the penalty area, which is somewhat helpless.

After adding points, Yang Mo quickly put himself into training, but except for the talent with a low upper limit like header, the other increased talent upper limit cannot be formed in a short period of time.

However, when Yang Mo hadn't trained for a long time, the short rest period of the league soon ended.

On April 4th, in the 15rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in a match against West Bromwich Albion at home.

This game is the penultimate game of the Premier League this season.

West Bromwich Albion is now ranked 12th in the standings, it can be said that there is no hope for the European war, and there is no worry about relegation.

This kind of team without pursuit is the team that grabs points most willing to meet, because without demand, they will not work too hard.

And speaking of it, this game is really not exciting.

Under the seemingly loose defense of West Bromwich Albion, Yang Mo easily helped Manchester City win 2-0 with one shot and one pass.

The game was easy, and Yang Mo was also quite interested in trying a few headers that were newly trained to the upper limit. Although it has improved compared to before, the effect is still very bad.

For this reason, Yang Mo was often ridiculed by Silva, Dzeko and other teammates.

However, after this seemingly calm game, when all the players walked off the court, they heard a piece of excellent news from the head coach.

At the same time, at the DW Stadium in Wigan, England, Wigan Athletic, which ranks last in the Premier League this season, had a shocking upset against the top Manchester United, beating Manchester United 1-0 at home. Down.

For Wigan Athletic, Manchester City can be said to be very impressive, because in the last game when Yang Mo was injured, this team had a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

In order to avoid relegation, this team broke out unprecedented fighting power, and even defeated Manchester United in this game.

Manchester United's defeat made them lead Manchester City by 4 points in the standings, and it suddenly became 1 point.

With a Manchester derby still to be played, Manchester City once again let the initiative to win the championship return to their own hands.

In the locker room of the home team at the Etihad Airways Stadium, Yang Mo, who heard the news, opened the champagne of the best player and sprayed it on his teammates wantonly.

"Thank you Wigan Athletic!"

Accompanied by Yang Mo's shout, "Thank you Wigan Athletic!" The voice immediately rang out again and again in the Manchester City dressing room.

However, for Manchester City, although they are happy to regain control of the initiative, now is not the time to relax.

There are 5 rounds left in the league, and there is still a direct match with Manchester United. In five rounds, any negligence can lead to all the efforts made before.

The most important thing is that on the next April 4th, Manchester City will go to Madrid, Spain to compete against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to compete for tickets to the Champions League final.

The training time left for Manchester City was not long. After the game, the team only stayed in Manchester for three days before taking a chartered flight to Madrid, Spain.

When the plane landed in Madrid, Yang Mo looked at the sunny weather outside the porthole and couldn't help but said to himself: "No wonder so many players want to come to Spain to play football..."

Compared with Britain, which is erratic, cloudy and sunny, and has to compete in heavy rain and snow at every turn, Spain's warm and sunny climate makes people feel better.

But no matter how you like it, this is someone else's place.

After getting off the plane, just as Yang Mo walked outside the gate of the airport, countless reporters rushed over, vying to interview him.

"Yang Mo, you will play against Ronaldo directly in this game. Do you have anything to say?"

"Yang Mo, do you have confidence in defeating Ronaldo?"

"Yang Mo..."

The questions in the mouth of the reporters are inseparable from Ronaldo.

This Champions League semi-final has not yet started, and the match between Yang Mo and Ronaldo has become the hottest topic in the outside world.

The headlines on the front pages of various media are basically a zoomed-in photo of Yang Mo and Ronaldo. These two players have no conflicts in private. On the contrary, they are like friends at first sight. I thought there was some deep hatred.

However, it is not surprising that everyone is doing this. As the most popular superstars in world football today, it is too normal for the two of them to be compared.

After all, what fans are most happy to see is this kind of collision between superstars.

There is no contradiction, no passion, no confrontation, and the media can help you create it.

Therefore, this crucial competition for tickets to the Champions League final, after a lot of tossing by the media, is almost turning into a battle of the century between Yang Mo and Ronaldo.

Listening to the media's questions, Yang Mo showed a helpless smile.

Football is not basketball. He and Ronaldo are both wing strikers, and there is no possibility of meeting in position.

Besides, after Aguero came, in order to take care of Aguero who was more comfortable on the right, he began to transfer activities on the left.

Ronaldo is also active on the left in Real Madrid. He is also a player on the left. Basically, the chances of facing each other are even slimmer.

He certainly understands that the reporter said this to reflect the performance of the two of them, which can directly determine the outcome of the two teams, but there is no need to be so exaggerated.

"I think it's more appropriate for you to ask Barry or Lescott this question. They should have more contact with Ronaldo on the court."

"And what I want to say is that although Ronaldo and I have only met a few times, we get along very well. I hope everyone will stop deliberately discrediting the relationship between me and him."

Yang Mo finished what he said, but in his opinion, no media could truthfully release these words.

After all, compared to the reports of him and Ronaldo's family, the news of the two superstars fighting each other seems more attractive.

After rushing out from the reporters' siege at the airport, Yang Mo got on the bus and came to downtown Madrid. After resting in the hotel until the afternoon, they rushed to the Bernabéu stadium to familiarize themselves with the venue in advance.

Yang Mo is no stranger to the Bernabéu.

Here, for him, it is not a bad place to say.

In the 09-10 season, he won the Champions League together with his teammates at Bayern here, starting his career of winning six titles that season.

What's interesting is that that season, the opponent in the semi-finals was also Real Madrid.

Two years later, Ronaldo is still at the Bernabeu, but he has left Bayern and came to Manchester City.

But this season, the venue for the Champions League final has been changed to Bayern.

After finishing the training to familiarize himself with the field, Yang Mo's thoughts wandered. Thinking about these coincidences, it was quite interesting, and he couldn't help but cocked his mouth and smiled.

"Yang, it seems that those reporters didn't affect your mood today."

Seeing Yang Mo's smile, Aguero who was walking beside Yang Mo said something.

When Yang Mo heard this, he didn't hide it, and told Aguero what he was thinking just now.

After several months of foundation, Aguero Yangmo actually has a pretty good sense.

He has outstanding skills, trains hard, and doesn't cause trouble in the team. The most important thing is that he is more in tune with him on the field.

Now, everyone can see that it is a matter of time before Dzeko is pushed to the bench by Aguero.

Of course, no one is perfect. This player, who is three years older than him, is not that mature in a certain aspect of the court.

There are many small movements and habitual diving, which makes the team quite a headache.

Yang Mo also flops, but he only does that when necessary, and with the continuous improvement of his physical fitness in recent years, flopping helps him less and less, on the contrary, meaningless flopping will destroy him offensive tempo.

Regarding Aguero's flopping, Yang Mo, the captain, has said it several times, but it seems to be a habit, and it seems that this problem will not be corrected for a while.

And in addition to the problems on the court, the Argentine player has a common problem with most South American players, that is, his private life off the court.

Although he has a child with the polo king's daughter, Aguero has become a frequent visitor to Manchester nightclubs not long after he came to Manchester, and he has a very good appetite with Balotelli.

Here, after listening to Yang Mo's words, Aguero said expectantly: "Captain, I hope your good luck can be brought to the present. Let's eliminate Real Madrid and win a championship."

Aguero is very envious of Yang Mo's feat of winning the double crown in his debut and taking all the club honors in the second year.

Aguero's honor, he also won the 08 Olympic champion with Messi in the national team, as well as some youth team honors.

The club won the Europa League once and the European Super Cup once during Atletico Madrid, but there was no league title, let alone the Champions League honor.

Therefore, his desire for honor is not fake.

"I hope so too, let's go, go back and rest, there will be a hard fight waiting for us tomorrow."

After Yang Mo finished speaking, he left with Aguero.

At 2:20 pm on February 2011th, the Bernabeu Stadium, the 2012-[-] Champions League semi-finals will start with half an hour left.

At this moment, the crowd pouring into the stadium around the Bernabéu stadium has come to an end.

In the stands of the Bernabéu Stadium, more than [-] fans completely covered the stands, and there were about [-] Real Madrid fans in white.

The remaining 1 people are neutral fans and Manchester City fans who went away to cheer for the team.

The voices of the [-] Blue Moon fans were completely covered up by the cheers of the Real Madrid fans, not a single bit of it could be heard.

As time progressed and the game got closer and closer, the cheers of the Real Madrid fans did not weaken.

And in this cheering sound, Duan Xuan and Liu Jianhong, the on-site commentators of Yangma who went to Madrid, also started their commentary.

"Hello, viewers, you are watching the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid's home game against Manchester City, which is narrated live by CCTV's fifth sports channel. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong."

"I'm the commentator Duan Xuan."

Duan Xuan's voice fell, and Liu Jianhong continued: "Friends in the audience, from the current broadcast screen, we can already see that players from both sides of the match have entered the player channel, and the match is about to start."

"But before that, I want everyone to listen to the shouts of the fans..."

As she spoke, Liu Jianhong raised the microphone as if aiming at the stands. In an instant, the buzzing sound reached the ears of all the audience in front of the TV.

Among the voices, there are singing, cheering, and unidentified shouts, all of which are connected together, and when they reach people's ears, there is only a buzzing sound.

"Although the game has not yet started, I think that Manchester City, led by Chinese stars, is going to face a tough battle here."

When Liu Jianhong said this, Duan Xuan followed suit: "That's right, this is the Bernabéu. There is no shortage of fanatical Real Madrid fans here."

Both of them commented very loudly, otherwise they would be completely overwhelmed by the sound in the stadium.

Around them, the commentators of other media in the commentary booth were also in this state.

Although the on-site commentary sounds high-end, for the commentator, it is definitely not as comfortable and easy as the studio.

"Friends in the audience, players from both sides have entered the field, and the game is about to start."

"Taking this opportunity, let us introduce to you the starting formations of both teams in this competition."

"First of all, the home team, Real Madrid, is still the usual 4231 formation, which is the same as the previous 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the national derby."

"Benzema as the starting striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil and Di Maria played three midfielders, but in the backcourt position, Mourinho put Pepe from the center back to the midfielder, and Alonso partner."

"And replacing Pepe with Ramos as a central defender is indeed Carvalho, who has only played eight times in the league this season."

"Judging from this adjustment, Mourinho has only one purpose, which is to strengthen the defense. Pepe moved forward to the right position, which is obviously arranged to target Yang Mo."

"It seems that Mourinho attaches great importance to Yang Mo."

It was Liu Jianhong who introduced Real Madrid's lineup.

Next, Duan Xuan will be responsible for introducing Manchester City's starting lineup.

However, before introducing Manchester City's lineup, Duan Xuan also said something more, "Since Real Madrid won the Champions League in [-], they have stopped in the quarter-finals once, the semi-finals twice, and the top [-] six times. It has been nine years since Real Madrid won the Champions League. I have passed the Champions League final, Real Madrid will never miss this Champions League final"

"Yang Mo's performance in the Champions League final two years ago helped Bayern defeat Inter Milan to win the Champions League. It should have left a deep impression on the then Inter Milan coach Mourinho."

"In this game, they met Manchester City led by Yang Mo in the semi-finals. It is not difficult to understand how Mourinho strengthened his defensive strength."
