Chapter 403 Chu Zheng's 5th Champions League goal!
During the intermission, after a few minutes of commercial time, when the camera returned to the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu began to replay the first half of the game.

"Manchester City actually didn't change much in the two games, but there was a key change, that is, Aguero stepped forward and De Bruyne was put back in the midfield."

"In the first round of the away game, Guardiola put De Bruyne in the forward arrow position, forcibly wasting De Bruyne's midfield talent."

"Today's Manchester City played more directly and moved forward more resolutely. Aguero is still the world-class striker. De Bruyne, who returned to the midfield, covered the midfield with his footsteps. Zheng took turns receiving and dispatching the ball, creating threats, and the two of them were like knives inserted between the midfielder and the back line, which greatly improved Manchester City's forward efficiency in the frontcourt!"

"And Chu Zheng is experienced and mature in holding the ball in the midfield. He is the engine of Manchester City's offense. He runs in the frontcourt, takes the ball, and passes reasonably and directly. In addition, De Bruyne and Gundogan, the three have their own strengths. Long, complement each other."

"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "Especially after Manchester City broke the deadlock, the offensive scene and efficiency are even better."

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Lu continued: "Barcelona played extremely well in the first 35 minutes of the first half."

"In these 30 minutes or so, Barcelona not only demonstrated the ultimate siege art to the fans, but also showed Manchester City the secret of breaking the siege, that is, to play the ball without muddling, almost making Manchester City players go around."

"This is Enrique's transformation of Barcelona after he took office. He no longer sticks to the control of the situation, but pays more attention to one fatal blow. At the same time, he also simplifies the weight of the midfielder, pursues rapid advancement, and enlarges the offensive weight of the MSN striker. .”

"Facing a terrifying opponent like Barcelona, ​​10 out of 9 teams will base themselves on defense and counterattack to win.

But Guardiola is not partial, even if Fernandinho has a big risk of being beaten into a sieve, Guardiola still has to stick to his own tactical philosophy. grab tactics. "

"Before Manchester City scored a goal, Manchester City's goal can be said to be jittery. Once the ball is lost, the game will enter the Barcelona track."

"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded and smiled again, "People say that Gua Shuai is a lunatic and a paranoid, but it was this lunatic and paranoid who created a terrifying Dream Three Dynasties, and his persistence and adventure in this game are just as impressive. It finally paid off.”

The 15-minute break time flies by in the blink of an eye.

After the players took their positions one after another, with the whistle of the referee Kasai, the second half of the game officially started.

Neither side made substitutions in the second half.

There is no one to change on Barcelona's side, Enrique now has all the best cards in his hand on the court.

But Manchester City does not need it, because apart from some small mistakes in the first half, everyone's performance can be called excellent.

At the tactical level, Manchester City has not changed, and it is still an impenetrable high-position press in the midfield.

Barcelona also maintained the tactical strategy of the first half, but compared with the first half, their passing tended to be cautious.

But this kind of caution has little effect in front of the high morale of Manchester City.

In the 46th minute of the game, after Barcelona continued to hold the ball for 1 minute, they were chased and intercepted by five Manchester City players on the right side of the center circle.

Digne had no choice but to pass back quickly.

Ter Stegen ran to the left line of the penalty area to get the ball, and then pushed it to Mascherano on the penalty spot.

After Mascherano got the ball, he saw De Bruyne quicken his pace and hit the top of the arc in a blink of an eye. He pushed the ball back to Ter Stegen.

Ter Stegen stepped on the ball in the upper left corner of the small penalty area, moved the ball horizontally slowly, and looked up at the same time, but he didn't get the ball.

At this time, the consequences of Pique's injury came to the fore, and Barcelona's backcourt obviously dropped a notch.

Ter Stegen's hesitation gave everyone a feeling of confusion, as if he didn't know how to move the ball forward.

In the top area of ​​the arc, Ter Stegen quickly crossed the ball to the right as soon as De Bruyne started to scare.

On the right side of the penalty area, Mascherano quickly advanced after getting the ball, but soon De Bruyne rushed over.

Mascherano didn't dare to make a big deal, and quickly kicked the ball to the middle circle.

At the landing point, Gundogan rushed to the landing point first, jumped up and stretched his feet to stop the ball, but stopped the ball to Gomez's right shoulder in front of him.

Gomez was also very alert, quickly shouldering the ball towards Busquets behind Gundogan.

Busquets took the ball. At this time, Chu Zheng, Fernandinho, Gundogan, and Sterling lined up on the arc of the middle circle.

But Busquets still resolutely passed forward and sent the ball to Messi's feet in the middle circle.

Stones quickly climbed up from behind Messi, surrounded Messi with Chu Zheng and Gundogan on three sides.

Messi couldn't hold back either, and quickly passed the ball back. The ball passed Busquets all the way back to Mascherano's feet in the middle of the backcourt.

Faced with De Bruyne's pressure, Mascherano had to split to the right.

On the left side of the center circle, facing Fernandinho rushing from the ribs, Roberto retreated all the way after taking the ball, and then crossed Busquets in the middle.

Busquets took the ball with his back, and Chu Zheng had already rushed behind him.

Facing Chu Zheng again, Busquets didn't hesitate at all.

The moment he touched the ball with his right foot, Busquets made a turn to the right.

Chu Zheng's eyes were like lightning, and he could tell at a glance that this guy was trying to cheat him.

Sure enough, after Busquets touched the ball, he knocked the ball to the left directly on the inside of his right foot, and his body also turned to the left.

Seeing the right opportunity, Chu Zheng pushed forward, stretched out his left foot, and stabbed the ball forward with precision.

The ball rolled straight to De Bruyne behind Mascherano.

"Beautiful! Chu Zheng, another wonderful and deadly attack, Busquets won't lose money!"

"Manchester City has another chance!!!" Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun were surprised at the same time in the LeTV live broadcast room!
On the sidelines, seeing this scene, Enrique was so angry that his vision suddenly darkened, and he almost had a heart attack.

Next to him, Guardiola jumped forward on his toes, looking at the field with his eyes unblinking, and he already smelled the breath of a goal.

At this time on the field, Barcelona stood at the front of the top of the arc with Aguero, and Umtiti stood at the right rib area of ​​​​the top of the arc, at least two meters away from Aguero.

Mascherano is in the upper left corner of the penalty area, so there is a huge gap in front of Aguero.

Facing the incoming ball, De Bruyne swept the ball directly to Aguero in the middle with his right foot.

But it's a pity that his pass was a bit hasty and he didn't give an advance amount, which caused Aguero to stop in place to take the ball.

When Aguero stopped the ball, Umtiti was already blocked in the arc top area in front of him.

But at this time Chu Zheng and De Bruyne are also advancing hand in hand.

Chu Zheng ran behind Umtiti at the top of the arc, while De Bruyne advanced in a straight line along the left rib at the top of the arc, restraining Mascherano, who was retracting into the center.

Aguero stayed where he was, with the corner of his eyes always looking towards the right rib area at the top of the arc.

At this time, because Digne went along the side road just now and Umtiti moved in the middle, the area on the right side of Barcelona's penalty area is already deserted.

Aguero is waiting for Sterling.

Sterling did not disappoint Aguero and came up quickly.

Seeing Sterling coming, Umtiti was led back by Chu Zheng's running position on the left. Aguero turned to the right calmly without interference, and pushed the ball to the point with the inside of his right foot. Ball point to the right.

After Sterling followed up in place, he shot a burst with his right foot, very decisive and resolute.

Immediately the ball went straight to the back penalty goal.

But it's a pity that Ter Stegen's position was chosen very delicately, which caused Sterling's shot ball to be blocked by Ter Stegen with both hands before it was fully opened.

Suddenly the ball fell in a parabola to the left of the penalty spot.

In terms of landing, Chu Zheng and Mascherano went hand in hand, but Chu Zheng was on the outside.

Mascherano relied on his rich experience to quickly judge that the ball was behind him and Chu Zheng, and the threat was not very great.

However, the moment his thought appeared, Chu Zheng made his countermeasures.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng, who had no intention of turning around, jumped forward directly. After laying his body horizontally in the air, his right foot tilted upwards, and the sole of his shoe accurately hooked the ball that fell behind him.

In the next second, the ball flew past Chu Zheng's back, and directly entered Barcelona's goal from the inside of the left goal post.

Seeing Chu Zheng's unconventional shot, countless people immediately widened their eyes and looked horrified.

In the Etihad stands, Manchester City and Barcelona fans acted in unison at this time. Countless people stared blankly at the ball that was still beating in the goal.

In the next second, there was a bang!A huge sound wave suddenly set off, as if it was about to lift the Etihad Stadium.

On the sidelines, Guardiola was greatly stimulated by Chu Zheng's miraculous goal.

He covered his cheeks with his hands again, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of incredible smiles.

Next to him, Enrique was also stunned. He never expected that Chu Zheng would be able to react in time to such an unexpected ball and kick the ball into the goal with such a magical movement. This kind of creativity and responsiveness made Enrique Ke was horrified.

In Barcelona, ​​Thiago Jr. was also dumbfounded. Standing in front of the huge TV, his little mouth became O-shaped in shock.

"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Two goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"This is Chu Zheng's fifth goal in the Champions League!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing Chu Zheng's miraculous goal, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also full of excitement at this time.

"Chu Zheng's creativity and adaptability are really rare in the world!"

"Javier Mascherano next to Chu Zheng is the best foil. Ter Stegen blocked the ball. Mascherano can't react at all, but Chu Zheng can."

On the field, seeing Chu Zheng score such a fairy ball again, Sterling, Aguero, De Bruyne and all Manchester City players were high.

"Chu! Do you know what your goal means?" De Bruyne put his hands around Chu Zheng's neck and screamed.

"Chu, you are now the number one scorer in the Champions League! Number one!" Before Chu Zheng could ask, Sterling yelled out the answer.

Now on the Champions League scorer list, there are only 3 people who have scored five goals.

One is Messi, the other is Ronaldo, and the other is Chu Zheng.

But Chu Zheng is different from Messi and Ronaldo in that his five Champions League goals have no penalties.

So Chu Zheng directly squeezed Messi and Ronaldo to second and third, occupying the top scorer list of the Champions League.

Chu Zheng was also taken aback when he heard Sterling's words, and then he smiled even brighter. He really didn't pay attention to this aspect.

Not long after, all members of Manchester City gathered, even Caballero ran up, and everyone gathered in a circle, celebrating wildly.

In the middle circle, Messi silently watched the Manchester City players celebrate without any expression on his face.

But at this moment, in this situation, he suddenly understood why the little guy at home regarded Chu Zheng as an idol.

This kind of goal is really entertaining, which fully demonstrates the skills of the goal scorer, and it is difficult for fans not to like it.

And as far as Messi knows, Chu Zheng seems to have many such fairy-like goals.

Not long after, under the urging of the referee Kassai, Manchester City ended the slightly crazy celebration and the game was able to restart.

However, when the game entered the 60th minute, under the stormy attack of Manchester City, Barcelona's continuous high-position pressing began to be unsustainable.

Losing the protection of the frontcourt caused Barcelona to be frequently intercepted and counterattacked by Manchester City players.

Not only that, but with MSN being separated from each other by Manchester City, it is also difficult for Barcelona to organize an effective offensive.

So under Manchester City's continuous onslaught, Barcelona's defense gradually became messy and scattered, giving Manchester City enough space to attack.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Enrique replaced Rakitic, who was in a mediocre state, with Arda Turan.

It was a match-up substitution, without any tactical adjustments at all, and it couldn't be adjusted with Enrique's stretched troops.

Soon, Manchester City's third goal appeared.

In the 68th minute of the game, Manchester City counterattacked again in the backcourt.

Sterling made a straight pass from the right side of the backcourt, Aguero took the ball and made a long-distance attack, and then crossed Chu Zheng who was inserted at the top of the arc.

Busquets saw that Chu Zheng took the ball and was about to pass the ball to the empty left rib area at the top of the arc. When he came back, he shoveled behind his back.

Chu Zheng was caught off guard and was immediately knocked down.

The referee Kassai directly blew his whistle and awarded Manchester City a free kick to the left of the top of the arc and in an excellent position.

Busquets has received a yellow card.

30 seconds later, De Bruyne made a run-up for a free throw, and the inside of his right foot went directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

The ball jumped high, bypassed the human wall, and plunged in from the lower edge of the beam.

3-0!

Since then, the remaining morale of Barcelona has been completely defeated.

After securing the victory, it didn't take long for Guardiola to start making substitutions.

But don't get me wrong, he didn't save for the upcoming international break, he wanted to slaughter Barcelona.

In the 71st minute of the game, Navas replaced Sterling.

Although the Spanish international has a poor shot, his running choices and one-stroke breakthrough crosses are still top-notch.

With Navas on the field, Barcelona's defense also sounded the air defense alarm.

Navas blasted Digne twice on the right, once found Aguero in a bottom pass, and once found Chu Zheng who was inserted after the back point.

It's a pity that neither of them completed the fatal blow.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 3-0. This is also Manchester City's first victory over Barcelona in the European war.

After the game, Manchester City fans sang loudly and resounded through the Etihad Stadium to celebrate this rare victory.

Manchester City defeated Barcelona, ​​which shattered the recent criticism of Manchester City from the media and fans, and proved that Manchester City is not only good at abuse.
