Glory Greenery

Chapter 385 Whoever can't stand it first will collapse!

Duan Xuanyang finished analyzing AC Milan's starting lineup with a few sentences, and then introduced Manchester City's lineup.

In this game, Mancini's lineup for Manchester City is also very stable.

On the defense line, the injured Kompany started with Lescott as a central defender to stabilize the defense.

In the position of the double defensive midfielder, the two defensive generals Barry and De Jong started the game. This is the first time this season.

Mourinho put Pepe in the midfielder position to defend Yang Mo, and Mancini pulled out De Jong to defend Ronaldo.

South De Jong, North Pepe.

Two world-renowned "Kung Fu" masters in football are about to meet in this game.

In the midfield position, left midfielder Yang Mo, right midfielder Aguero, coupled with midfielder Silva, plus forward Dzeko, Manchester City's attack power is amazing when the defense is stable.

Compared with the 433 that has not been effective, this 4231 formation is the most mature for Manchester City at this time.

Mancini arranged this way, but also wanted to seek stability in the game.

With the end of the pre-match ceremony, players from both sides came to their respective halfs to line up, and the battle began immediately.

Beep...

"Friends in the audience, the referee has already blown the whistle to start the game, and the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City at home has officially begun!"

"In this game, Real Madrid took the lead. Ozil and Benzema kicked off in the middle circle. Ronaldo has already made an offensive posture..."

With Liu Jianhong's commentary, Real Madrid started their first attack.

"Ozil received a pass from Benzema, turned around and passed the ball to Di Maria behind him, and Di Maria quickly passed it to Alonso"

"Obviously, Real Madrid played very cautiously at the beginning. Facing Manchester City with Yang Mo, Real Madrid has to be cautious. Otherwise, if they make a mistake, they are likely to be counterattacked by Yang Mo."

On the game screen, I saw Real Madrid relying on passing and catching the ball, carefully killing halftime.

After Ozil received the ball in the frontcourt, he encountered Silva's close press and handed the ball to Ronaldo on the left in a hurry.

The moment Ronaldo took the ball, there was a huge cheering sound from the stands of the Bernabéu stadium.

In this stadium, Ronaldo has used one goal after another to become the absolute core of all Real Madrid fans.

In the just-concluded Spanish national derby, Cristiano Ronaldo used his outstanding performance to help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona, ​​​​making Real Madrid's league title this season very good.

In the next game, as long as Real Madrid can beat Sevilla, they will be able to win the La Liga championship two rounds ahead of schedule.

Today's Real Madrid team morale is high, and the fans are also high-spirited.

So this game against Manchester City, in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, is a game that is determined to win.

A league championship obviously cannot satisfy the desires of the fans of the Galaxy Battleship. Only by winning the Champions League, which has not been involved in those nine years, can everyone be satisfied.

Eliminating Manchester City and entering the final is the biggest wish of all Real Madrid fans.

But Real Madrid fans want to enter the Champions League final and win the championship, so why not Manchester City.

Real Madrid just haven't got their hands on the championship for nine years, but as for Manchester City, they don't know what the Champions League final looks like since the team was founded.

This year, Yang Mo came. Under Yang Mo's leadership, Manchester City reached the semi-finals of the Champions League unprecedentedly.

If Ronaldo fans are the core of the team in the hearts of Real Madrid fans, then Yang Mo is definitely the savior in the hearts of Manchester City fans!The absolute king of Manchester City.

Real Madrid have a glorious past, but Manchester City have nothing?

At this point, the fans of Manchester City believe that this young man who can perform miracles can let them see what the Champions League final is and what the Champions League final is.

Perhaps, they can also know what a big ear cup is.

The fans are eager for honor, and the Manchester City players also don't want to admit defeat.

Winning the Champions League is a coveted honor for any professional player.

Coupled with the bonus promised by Mansour before, the big ear trophy, Manchester City players are also determined to win it!

Ronaldo took the ball, Real Madrid fans cheered loudly, but the [-] Manchester City fans also tried their best and booed hugely.

When the fans of the two sides were competing, Ronaldo had already got the ball on the court.

At this moment, when all the Real Madrid fans were looking forward to seeing Ronaldo dribbling the ball, a Manchester City player wearing the No. 34 blue jersey fell to the ground and made a fierce tackle. Someone put Ronaldo on the field.

"No. 34 De Jong's tackle! Ronaldo fell to the ground, Real Madrid's attack was terminated!"

"Judging from the replay, although this tackle was fierce, it was very clean with the ball first."

"De Jong seems to be using this tackle to tell Ronaldo that if he wants to break through, he must pass my level first."

Duan Xuan's commentary was fast. Although it was a little noisy amidst the shouts of the fans, it couldn't conceal the excitement in the words.

After tackling Real Madrid's offense, De Jong got up and wanted to pass the ball, but who would have thought that the referee's whistle sounded at this time.

"The referee of this game, Casai, blew his whistle and didn't draw a card. He just verbally gave De Jong a warning and awarded Real Madrid a frontcourt free kick."

"This free kick penalty is somewhat inappropriate, but it is understandable, after all, it is Real Madrid's home court."

Because the distance of the free kick was a bit far this time, Real Madrid did not choose to hit the goal directly, but Alonso hoisted the ball into the Manchester City penalty area.

In the penalty area, a group of Manchester City players competed with Real Madrid players for landing, and in the end it was Kompany who headed the ball out of the penalty area first.

Outside the penalty area, Silva grabbed the pass from Kompany against Alonso, saw Yang Mo near the midfield, and immediately passed the ball towards Yang Mo without hesitation.

Estimating Silva's long pass, Yang Mo ran towards the landing point while resisting Pepe's harassment.

Yang Mo wants to catch the ball, of course Pepe can't make Yang Mo happy.

At this time, most of Real Madrid's frontcourt players went to Manchester City's half to attack. If Yang Mo took the ball and cooperated with Aguero and Dzeko, Manchester City might be able to score a counterattack goal.

In this case, seeing Yang Mo succeed in getting the ball away with his speed and confrontation, Pepe showed a fierce look on his face.

Facing the falling football, Pepe jumped up vigorously, but his purpose was not to grab the ball.

In mid-air, Pepe's elbow hidden in her waist slammed on Yang Mo's back.

Yang Mo, who was about to stop the ball with his chest, was suddenly elbowed by Pepe. He suffered pain on the spot and couldn't keep his balance. He tilted his body and fell from the air.

After staggering for a while, Yang Mo, who managed to stabilize his body, looked at the innocent-faced Pepe behind him, feeling the pain of sadness, even though he was always calm, he was furious with anger!

"You fucking bastard!"

With a roar, Yang Mo's bull-like body pressed against Pepe.

Feeling Yang Mo's turbulent aura and the terrifying power emanating from his body, Pepe, the villain, really wanted to go up there, but for some reason, he felt a little trembling in his heart.

At this moment, Aguero, who was about to meet Yang Mo not far away, rushed up and hugged Yang Mo, and pulled Yang Mo away with great effort.

In the stands, the commentator also saw the return defense just now through the device.

From the playback screen, when the commentator saw Pepe's rather concealed elbow, of course the Chinese commentator quit.

Duan Xuan shouted sharply.

"We can see that Pepe's defense is definitely a foul! A very bad foul!"

"If it weren't for Pepe's small moves, Yang Mo would have successfully caught the ball, and he would definitely have a chance to fight back with Aguero and Dzeko!"

"For this kind of foul, the referee must re-sentence! Must draw cards!"

However, because of the angle at which Pepe fouled just now, the referee did not see the specific situation, so he did not give a heavy penalty as Duan Xuan wished.

Moreover, the start of the game has not even reached 5 minutes. If the referee draws a card for Pepe at this time, it will greatly affect the result of the game.

Just like De Jong brought down Ronaldo just now, a verbal warning and a free kick in the frontcourt.

Compared with Real Madrid's free kick just now, Manchester City's free kick is almost in the midfield, so there is no possibility of any goal at all.

After the referee's whistle, Barry passed the ball to Silva.

Only at this time, Real Madrid's midfielders have all retreated, and Manchester City has missed the best time to attack.

At the beginning, De Jong brought down Ronaldo with a tackle, while Pepe used a small move to prevent Yang Mo from receiving the ball.

The two teams can be regarded as exchanging courtesy, and both used their previous arrangements to block the attack of the opponent's core players.

Just from the back-and-forth attack in the opening game, it is enough to see that this game will never be easy, and it is destined to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

In this way, after the opening mutual attack ended, the two teams fell into a rhythm of attacking and defending each other, and mutual anxiety.

This kind of alternate attack without any goals not only made the players a little anxious, but also made all the fans watching the game anxious.

But as the old saying goes, there is no good game in a big competition. At the important moment of the Champions League semi-finals, neither Real Madrid nor Manchester City want to cause the team to lose because of their own mistakes.

Especially Real Madrid, very much do not want Manchester City to score away goals in this game.

Therefore, Real Madrid took the defense very seriously this time, especially for Yang Mo's defense.

In the view of Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho, Manchester City's previous losing streak and Yang Mo's winning streak after his return have proved one thing, that is, Yang Mo is the core of this team.

Preventing Yang Mo is equivalent to defending Manchester City.

As long as Yang Mo's performance is restricted, other Manchester City players will lose their backbone.

To this end, Mourinho arranged a luxurious defensive package for Yang Mo.

As long as Yang Mo catches the ball in the frontcourt, Pepe will stop Yang Mo at all costs and prevent Yang Mo from rushing forward.

And once Pepe fouls and cannot stop Yang Mo, the right back Arveiroa will make up the defense immediately, creating opportunities for Pepe and Ramos to pinch Yang Mo.

Under this infinitely targeted defense, more than 30 minutes of the game passed, and Yang Mo still failed to find a good opportunity.

It's okay for Abeloa. The 81-year veteran can hardly keep up with him in speed, but Pepe's foul and Ramos' pincer defense gave Yang Mo a headache.

At this time, the problem of his general header ability came to the fore. In the penalty area, Real Madrid only needs to defend his ground attack and pay a little attention to his header.

However, Real Madrid froze him for a while, but he is not an ordinary player after all, defending him, Real Madrid naturally paid the price.

No.209 minutes, in order to block his attack, Pepe pulled him down near the right line.

This time, Pepe blatantly blocked Yang Mo with a foul. The referee Kasay couldn't turn a blind eye, and a yellow card was directly awarded to Pepe.

Just after 10 minutes of the game, in order to prevent Yang Mo from entering the penalty area, Aweiloa put a shovel on the side of the penalty area.

Although Yang Mo jumped up to avoid it hastily, he was still brought down by Aveiroa in mid-air and lost the opportunity to continue attacking.

This time, Aweiloa also failed to escape the eyes of the referee. This extremely dangerous tackle naturally could not escape the punishment of a yellow card.

It's just a pity that although Yang Mo created a free kick in an excellent position, Silva's direct hit was directly confiscated by Casillas.

In order to stop Yang Mo, Real Madrid paid the price of two yellow cards before the end of the first half.

Faced with such a situation, Mourinho on the sidelines frowned.

The well-known head coach understands that after Pepe and Aveiroa received yellow cards one after another, they are already a little timid in defending Yang Mo.

If this continues, it is very likely that Yang Mo will find a chance.

However, if you don't defend like this, there is actually no other good way to deal with Yang Mo.

This young Chinese man is really a headache.

And when Mourinho had a headache, Mancini on the other side was equally worried.

Real Madrid paid two yellow cards to defend Yang Mo, and Manchester City's form was shaky in order to deal with Real Madrid's frontcourt offense.

In an attack by Real Madrid, Pepe kicked Ozil in front of the penalty area and was also given a yellow card by the referee.

The current situation on the court is that the defenses of both teams are shaky, and it depends on who can't withstand the collapse first.

Under this mutual stalemate, the game time came to 41 minutes unknowingly. The referee announced that there was no stoppage time in the first half, and the first half of the game was about to end.

On the field, it was Manchester City who were attacking.

Silva passed the ball to Yang Mo from the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Yang Mo resisted Pepe's harassment and took the football diagonally from the right towards the Real Madrid penalty area.

At this time, Aveiroa and Ramos naturally didn't want Yang Mo to approach the penalty area, so they immediately stepped forward to double-team.

In the three-person siege, Yang Mo swayed left and right to create a pass space, and hoisted the ball to Real Madrid's penalty area.

In the Real Madrid penalty area, Dzeko grabbed the first spot. In the entanglement with Carvalho, Dzeko did not choose to attack the goal, but flew the ball with a header and sent the ball to Aguero at the back point.

Facing the flying football, Aguero had no intention of stopping the ball at all, and directly volleyed and chose to hit the goal.

But at this moment, Real Madrid's No. 12 left-back Marcelo rushed over to block Aguero's volley and blocked Aguero's volley from midair.

After blocking the shot, without hesitation, Marcelo immediately cleared with a big foot and kicked the ball towards the outside of the penalty area.

In the backcourt of Real Madrid, Alonso stopped the ball before Yang Mo's, then turned around and continued to pass the ball towards the frontcourt.

Near the midfield, Di Maria successfully received the ball under the harassment of Lescott, and began to dribble towards Manchester City's half.

"Not good! Real Madrid's counterattack is too fast this time, it's going to be bad!"

With Liu Jianhong's shout, Di Maria, who was dribbling the ball, made an oblique plug and sent the ball to Benzema's feet in front of the penalty area.

Although Benzema followed Kompany behind him, he failed to keep up with Benzema's speed, and it was too late.

After receiving the ball, Benzema rushed into the penalty area, forming a single!
