Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 246 Another victory, Manchester City's championship situation is very good!
"Fateful matchup or UEFA shady? Ronaldo VS Ibrahimovic, Lin Quan VS Messi! "

"The confrontation between the upstarts and the giants, can Manchester City overcome the mountain of Barcelona? "

"Specially hit the old club?Lin Quan will return to Camp Nou for the first time after leaving Barcelona! "

"The three heroes of La Liga may be the top four! "

"Manchester United encounters a bitter master, and may lose the top eight! "

……

After the results of the draw for the quarter-finals were released, it immediately attracted attention and discussion from the outside world.

Due to the tragic elimination of two Premier League teams in this round, and the result of the draw is not optimistic for the Manchester duo.

So the British media have wailed up.

They believe that facing Bayern, which has just eliminated Chelsea by a big score, the weaker Manchester United's hope of advancing can only be said to be very slim.

In the face of the powerful Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, a junior in the Champions League, has a serious lack of experience and is likely to stop in the quarterfinals.

Once the Manchester City duo are eliminated, then this year's Champions League semi-finals may not see the name of the Premier League team again.

Continuously being suppressed by La Liga teams in the Champions League, this makes the British, who claim to be the world's number one league, feel a little uncomfortable.

So they started discussing one after another, trying to find ways to strengthen the foreign war capabilities of the Premier League teams.

Unlike the howling British media, the Spanish side can almost be called singing and dancing.

In their opinion, Real Madrid's draw was very good.

Although Paris Saint-Germain is the overlord of Ligue [-], they lack the same foundation as Manchester City. They are a team built by money.

Moreover, they do not have a player with outstanding personal strength like Lin Quan in their team, and the competitiveness of Ligue [-] is far inferior to that of the Premier League. This makes the Spanish media generally underestimate the strength of Paris Saint-Germain.

They are optimistic that Real Madrid can double-kill Paris at home and away. After all, Ronaldo will definitely be in full condition when facing Ibrahimovic. .

Just take Paris to test the power of Real Madrid's [-] million flying in the European war!

As for Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, the strength of these two teams is relatively close. Klopp and Simeone are both outstanding coaches in the Mesozoic generation.

Simeone's team is iron-blooded and rigorous, while Klopp's team is passionate and passionate. Whether Klopp, who advocates offense, is better, or Simeone, who advocates defense, will have the last laugh depends on the performance of both sides. !
As for Barcelona, ​​drawing Manchester City is not bad for Barcelona.

After all, Manchester City's strength on paper is not weak, and there are superstars like Lin Quan in the team.

Once a star of this level breaks out, it is difficult to limit.

Fortunately, they also have Messi, and there are a lot of top stars like Iniesta and Neymar in the team.

As long as Barcelona uses its rich experience in the Champions League to seize the weakness of Manchester City's lack of experience in the European war, the probability of promotion is still very high.

After seeing the results of the draw, the fans also had heated discussions.

"UEFA knows how to play. Didn't the fans of Real Madrid and Paris look at each other disliked each other before? Didn't they all think that the stars in their respective teams are better than the star of the other team? Now it's all right. UEFA directly satisfies the two. The wishes of the fans!"

"Hehe, why does Ibrahimovic compare with Ronaldo? Ronaldo has scored 13 goals in the Champions League and is proud of the top scorer list. Can Ibrahimovic be compared?"

Ibrahimovic once tied Ronaldo in the scorer list, but after two rounds of knockout rounds, his scoring data was widened by Ronaldo.

At present, Ronaldo has scored 13 goals, ranking first in the scorer list, and Ibrahimovic has scored 10 goals, ranking third.

As for the second place, it is Lin Quan who scored 12 goals.

If Ibrahimovic was able to wrestle with Ronaldo last year, then since Portugal eliminated Switzerland in the world preliminaries play-offs, Ibrahimovic has begun to fall into a disadvantage.

So now Ronaldo's fans don't regard Ibrahimovic as a threat at all. On the contrary, in their view, the biggest threat to Ronaldo is Lin Quan, who came from behind.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Emperor Lin play in the last game? If he played, judging from his state of scoring in every game before, he could score at least one goal, right? In that case, the scorer list will be shared by Emperor Lin and Ronaldo Top position!"

"It should be that Manchester City's games are too many and too dense? But even if he scored in the last game, I am afraid it will be difficult to surpass Ronaldo. After all, Manchester City is facing Barcelona. It is difficult for them to overcome Barcelona. The team is very likely to stop at the quarterfinals."

"Manchester City is not without hope of winning. The schedule of first away and then home is beneficial to them. As long as they can draw with Barcelona at the Nou Camp or get enough away goals, they still have hope to advance at home!"

"Capturing the Nou Camp? Come on, the difficulty itself is very difficult!"

Even the most optimistic fans are not optimistic about Manchester City's elimination of Barcelona.

It's not just that they are not optimistic, after learning the result of the draw, the Manchester City club is also full of worries.

"Hey, it would be great if we got Manchester United. We have a very high winning rate against them this season. If we get them, we can walk to the semi-finals!"

An assistant coach shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Among these eight teams, in the eyes of Manchester City, the biggest weakness is their city rivals.

Teams in other leagues may still be intimidated by Manchester United's name, but as a neighbor of Manchester United, Manchester City knows too well how far the Red Devils have fallen this season.

If Manchester United is really drawn, the probability of Manchester City's promotion is not 80.00%, at least [-]%.

"Atletico Madrid or Dortmund or even Paris is fine. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two worst results, but we met them!"

"It always feels like UEFA's conspiracy. They like to engage in this kind of duel in order to create topics and gimmicks!"

"Just try your best, breaking into the quarterfinals is already a mission accomplished!"

Pellegrini has coached in La Liga for many years, and no one knows the terror of Barcelona better than him.

It would be a lie to say that you don't want to enter the semi-finals, but it is really difficult to overcome the mountain of Barcelona.

They can only work hard to fight for that chance!

The quarter-finals of the Champions League will start on April 4, and the second round will also end on April 2.

Compared with the one-month interval of the quarter-finals, the interval between the quarter-finals is obviously greatly shortened.

This is a huge test for the teams in the major leagues that aspire to win the championship!

……

On March 3, the 15th round of the Premier League kicked off.

Manchester City played away against Hull City.

Hull City is currently ranked 30th in the league with 15 points, only 2 points away from the relegation zone.

From the point of view of the points, the situation should be one-sided for the first team in the league to face a relegation team.

But in fact, every time it comes to the end of the season, the last thing the Premier League giants want to play is this kind of relegation team.

The game was very difficult from the beginning. In the 10th minute of the opening, Manchester City captain Kompany was sent off directly for a foul.

This penalty is very un-Premier!
Although Kompany was fouled by dragging, but the opponent fouled first, the referee didn't judge the first time, but gave him a red card when he fouled, which made him very angry.

Pellegrini on the sidelines was also very angry. In the Premier League, a league that encourages physical confrontation, Kompany's action is considered to be severely punished if he receives a yellow card, but the referee gave a red card!

With only one player missing in the opening 10 minutes, and facing a crazy relegation team, how can Manchester City play?
Referee Lee Mason saw Pellegrini's protest and ran to the sidelines to give him a verbal warning.

"Sir, watch your words!"

Pellegrini gave the opponent a thumbs up, mocking him for his good penalty.

Lee Mason was also unceremonious, and directly took out a red card and sent him to the stands.

The assistant coaches and substitutes on Manchester City's coaching bench immediately quit, and they surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation.

It doesn't matter if the players are sent off, but the coach is also sent off. This is obviously aimed at Manchester City.

However, in the face of the protests from the Manchester City coaching staff, the referee did not back down at all. He continued to draw out the red card and expel the most violent protesters from the field.

This further angered Manchester City. Not only did they not succumb to Lee Mason's red card, but they rushed forward to beat him.

The game had to be interrupted because of the riots on the sidelines, and when it started again, half an hour had passed since the start of the game.

A total of five people were expelled from Manchester City, including a substitute and two assistants.

The player sent off had already had a great impact on Manchester City. The coach and two assistants were also sent off, which made Manchester City even more chaotic. After Kompany left the field, Manchester City did not replace in time to supplement the defense. embodiment.

However, the referee's penalty angered the ten players on the field.

After the resumption of the game, the ten-man Manchester City took the initiative and frequently launched attacks against Hull City.

In the 14th minute, Kroos dribbled the ball forward and saw the opportunity to pass it straight to Aguero.

Unexpectedly, Lin Quan suddenly dashed out from the slope and robbed the ball halfway.

This was completely beyond the expectations of the Hull City players, preventing them from reacting immediately.

After Lin Quan took the ball, he glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and shot directly without adjusting.

The ball was played very suddenly, the goalkeeper was unprepared and failed to save Lin Quan's shot.

Manchester City leads Hull City 1-0 away.

Hull City is obviously not reconciled to losing. After seeing Manchester City's lack of defense, they stepped up their offense and tried to rewrite the score.

However, Manchester City's defense was very tenacious and successfully disintegrated the opponent's attacks one after another.

In the 34th minute of the game, Manchester City made a quick counterattack after stealing the ball from the backcourt. Lin Quan broke through with the ball and attracted the attention of two defensive players before passing the ball back to De Bruyne at the front of the penalty area.

De Bruyne's volley hit the crossbar and bounced into the net.

Manchester City leads 2:0!

After taking the lead, neither Lin Quan nor De Bruyne went to celebrate. Both of them ran into the net immediately, ready to pick up the ball and kick off again.

This posture seems to be that they are behind, scoring two goals is not enough, far from enough!

"Manchester City's momentum is up, Hull City is in danger!"

In the commentary seat, Martin Taylor had already sentenced Hull City to death when he saw Manchester City's united efforts.

"The feeling of Manchester City today is completely different from before. They play more united and tacit understanding. The whole team seems to be twisted into a rope!"

Andy Gray on the side also nodded in agreement.

Without Kompany as a central defender, Manchester City's defense is not complete.

However, when defending, Cross took the initiative to retreat to the position of central defender to participate in the defense.

And players such as Lin Quan and De Bruyne often retreat to the front of the penalty area to participate in the defense. Manchester City can't see at all when defending that it seems that one person is missing.

When attacking, their formation immediately dispersed, and the players in the frontcourt sprinted desperately one by one, not at all like they had just finished the Champions League.

This kind of Manchester City is very strange, not like Manchester City, but rather like their neighbor Manchester United, and it is the Manchester United team a few years ago.

Hull is in a daze, what's going on?

Isn't the other party a small number of people?
But why do you feel that we are the ones with the fewest people?

Whether in attack or defense, they were surrounded by Manchester City players.

Manchester City's players used active running to make up for the disadvantage of one less player, and even formed a numerical advantage in some areas.

This is something that the players of Hull City never expected!

In the 43rd minute, Hull City finally made a threatening attack.

They took advantage of Manchester City's weakness in shrinking defense from the wing, sent a through ball from the wing, and penetrated Manchester City's defense.

At the critical moment, Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart bravely stood up.

Regardless of the risk of injury, he fell to the ground to block the opponent's striker's shot.

The football was held by Joe Hart, but the opponent couldn't stop his feet in time. The spikes scratched his forehead, and blood gushed out all at once.

Joe Hart was also stubborn. He just stood on the field and let the team doctor help him treat the wound without even humming.

After the team doctor dealt with it, Manchester City's assistant coach asked him if he wanted to replace him to rest.

Joe Hart rejected the proposal of substitutions. He changed his blood-stained jersey and chose to stay on the field to fight!

Seeing the white gauze wrapped around Joe Hart's forehead, the players of Hull City couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive or even fearful.

However, the Manchester City players were encouraged when they saw Joe Hart fighting with injuries, and their fighting spirit became even more high-spirited!
In the second half, Manchester City's performance was even crazier than in the first half.

Lin Quan scored two goals in the 56th and 69th minutes, completing a hat-trick early.

And David Silva also scored a goal in the 84th minute to rewrite the score to 5:0.
This is not over yet, in the 90th minute, Aguero made a supplementary shot, and all three of Manchester City's strikers opened up.

At the end of the game, Manchester City beat Hull City 6-0 away.

This score is placed before the game, and perhaps not many people will be surprised.

After all, Manchester City's offensive firepower is terrifying, and everyone in the Premier League knows it.

But with the captain and manager sent off at the start of the game, it was a shock that they managed to achieve this score.

In this round of competition, the focus of the Premier League is all on the referee.

In addition to Manchester City's unfair penalties in the away game, Chelsea and Manchester United were also sniped by the referee.

In the away game, Chelsea encountered Aston Villa, the team with the most cards in the Premier League. Aston Villa was shown 4 yellow cards in the first half alone.

With the opponent's speed of receiving cards, Chelsea's players felt that the opponent would at least receive a red card in the second half.

However, the referee did show a red card, but it was not for Aston Villa, but for Chelsea.

In the 67th and 90th minutes, Chelsea received two red cards, Willian and Ramirez were sent off one after another.

Chelsea, who played two fewer players, lost 0:1 away to Aston Villa.

At the critical moment when they competed with Manchester City for the championship, Chelsea lost the chain!
If it is not too exaggerated to say that Chelsea's two red cards are two yellows and one red.

Three penalty kicks were awarded in that game, and Manchester United, who lost 0:3 at home to Liverpool in the double-red battle, had something to say!

This game at Old Trafford is extremely important for Manchester United and Liverpool.

If Manchester United still wants to enter the European theater and get tickets for the European competition next season, then they must win this game.

However, in the game, Manchester United was awarded three penalties, and captain Nemanja Vidic was shown a red card and sent off.

In their home court, not only did they not enjoy any home court advantage, but because of the referee's penalty, they fell directly into the abyss of eternal doom.

The boos at Old Trafford and the helpless appearance of Moyes huddled in the coach's seat have become the best portrayal of Manchester United this season.

After the game, several clubs immediately chose to protest to the FA. Regarding the series of controversial penalties made by the referees in this round of the game, the major clubs have a stomach full of grievances.

Because there are too many controversial penalties, and they appeared in one round, the outside world has doubts about the Premier League, and there is even a conspiracy theory that the FA is manipulating the game.

In view of the fact that there are too many teams protesting and the influence of conspiracy theories on the Internet is too bad, the FA also had to come forward and stated that it would investigate the referee's penalty in the previous game.

During this period, they will suspend the law enforcement of several controversial referees such as Lee Mason in the Premier League.

This result is acceptable for Manchester City. At the end of the season, what they are most afraid of is encountering black whistle in the key game of winning the championship.

When Clattenburg, McDean, Atkinson, Oliver and others in the Premier League four blindly enforced the law in the Premier League, the penalty highlighted an abstraction.

But in the Champions League and international competitions, their penalty level has risen sharply, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the world's top referees.

It can be seen that it is not that their level is not good, but that the water in the Premier League is too deep.

For Manchester City, it is not without good news.

City's lead extended to eight points with a game in hand after Chelsea's surprise loss.

There are 8 rounds left in the league, and the [-]-point lead is already very huge, not to mention that Manchester City has one less game.

If they can win Aston Villa in the make-up match, then their lead can be extended to 11 points.

Therefore, after the 30th round, the suspense of winning the Premier League this season seems to have ended early.

The outside world believes that Manchester City will win the Premier League this season. The only suspense now is, how many rounds can they win the championship in advance?
