King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

The game continues, Manchester City's corner kick!

Scoring key goals through set kicks has become a common tactic for this Manchester City team.

Witnessing Kevin De Bruyne taking the ball to the corner, Manchester City's players in the backcourt are already in position, and they are waiting for De Bruyne's kick-off.

De Bruyne was not in a hurry to kick off, he observed the situation in the penalty area of ​​Rome, especially Li Feng's position.

Judging from the current configuration of Manchester City, Li Feng is the most "core" player in Manchester City's header competition. No matter whether he scored the final attack or not, Manchester City needs enough "help" from Li Feng.

When the linesman first reminded, De Bruyne drove the ball into the penalty area.

The beautiful arc of the full moon crossed the sky, and everyone's eyes in the restricted area were focused on it.

The movements of their hands were not concealed in the slightest.

Faced with the small moves of the defensive players, Li Feng did not have any situation to dodge, he chose to block directly!
Manolas grabbed Li Feng's jersey, and the opponent seemed to want to use this method to prevent Li Feng from jumping.

But the power of the two is not at the same level.

Li Feng, who was disturbed, jumped up high, and when he shook his head to attack, he was still sweating a little.

For Li Feng, he hopes to open his goal account.

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Li Feng scored with a header, and Manchester City took the lead in changing the score on the field!"

The game is temporarily fixed at 1-0. For Rome, the game has just begun, and they still have time!

After scoring the goal, Li Feng celebrated wantonly. For him personally, as long as they pass the opponent in front of them, they will break into the Champions League final, although the opponent will most likely be a giant in La Liga. Is the largest giants in Europe - Real Madrid!

So working hard to kill the game in the first round is what Li Feng wants to do.

The game restarts.

The mood of the backward Roma is very stable. They keep trying to pass the ball to put more pressure on Manchester City.

But the effect was not good. On the contrary, they were almost directly destroyed by Li Feng in the process of advancing several times.

This virtually also made Roma's midfielders feel the pressure.

De Rossi once again received a pass back from his teammates in the frontcourt. He glanced at Li Feng, and his movements did not stop at all. As a teammate of Li Feng's national team, he naturally knew this guy's habits.

The ball was transmitted quickly in Rome's backcourt. Such a pass made Li Feng choose to stop and observe the opponent.

Florenzi diverted the ball with a big foot, and Roma's offense was quickly given to the weak side.

Kolarov pushed forward quickly, not very fast, but the veteran Kolarov still seized the opportunity.

Nainggolan received the ball with his back and he stuck City's defenders behind him.

Once again, Kolarov made a direct pass!
Such a choice is simple and rude. If Dzeko smashes the ball in, then this is good news for Roma.

"Beautiful top shot, chance for Roma!"

"Edson Morais one-handed block, Roma corner."

From God's point of view, Manchester City was just a little short of conceding the ball. Fortunately, Edson Morais reacted, but the danger in the penalty area has not yet been resolved.

The quality of Roma's corner kicks is very good, and Dzeko, as the fulcrum, played his role.

"The header was ferried, and Nainggolan shot from the back!"

"GOALL LLL!!!!!!"

"Roma quickly equalized the score, and now the two sides are back on the same starting line!"

With a score of 1-1, less than 30 minutes have passed since the start of the game. For both sides, their focus for the next game has become very clear-while doing a good job of defending, go all out to attack and strive for an early Lock the outcome of the match.

The game quickly resumed.

Manchester City kick off!
As the team's striker, Li Feng is naturally the best candidate for kick-off.

The running position after kick-off is still very tricky, which puts a lot of pressure on Roma's defense.

De Bruyne, who received a pass from his teammates again, moved forward to observe the situation on the court, especially those teammates on the front line. As players of the new era, their impact is naturally very good.

How to use their characteristics, De Bruyne naturally has his own ideas.

With a sudden pass during the advance, he caught Roma by surprise.

Li Feng, who went forward, noticed De Bruyne's choice, quickly turned his back and stuck the defender, and his eyes were firmly locked on the ball.

"Headed the ball back, followed by David Silva and hit the goal directly!"

"GOALL LLL!!!!!!"

"The performance of the players is too beautiful. For Manchester City, which is leading again, they need to defend well and stop giving the opponent a chance."

Zhang Jun pointed out the current situation of Manchester City. Because of Stones' injury, Manchester City can only use Otamendi and Laporte. Judging from the overall performance, they are trustworthy.

But Otamendi's height problem has become a big problem, and his current partner is even softer!
So the tacit understanding between the two of them still needs to be polished.

Manchester City, which once again led the way, did a great job on the defensive end, and the successive grabs forced Roma to pass the ball back.

The ball is still under the control of Rome, but they want to push the attack line to the key position, which is difficult!
The situation on the field was temporarily stalemate, Roma did not dare to attack easily, they worked hard to control the ball at their feet.

"It's not good for Roma to procrastinate like this. If they are only satisfied with scoring away goals, then now they can turn to defense!"

Zhang Jun looked at the situation on the court, and he gave his own summary. To be honest, he still hopes that Roma will take the initiative to attack. Even if they lose, they must stand up and lose!
"If you risk passing the ball, Manchester City's transition attack will come very quickly, and Roma may lose the ball directly in the next second!"

Zhan Lu, Zhang Jun's old partner gave an alternative view.

Obviously Roma wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible, but after several attempts, they made their own judgment and retreated to reorganize.

Time is passing bit by bit, and Rome has never been able to find a breakthrough.

In desperation, Roma midfielder De Rossi made a bold attempt.

Dzeko headed back, Yundale scored, and Nainggolan got the chance to advance.

Nainggolan kicks and shoots after dunking over Fernandinho who made the tackle!

The ball was quick, but Edson Morais was even better.

The shot was directly confiscated by Edson Morais in mid-air.

As soon as the ball was transferred, Rome's overall formation began to retreat.

Edson Morais, who was about to kick his feet, saw this situation immediately, and he chose a more secure defense.

Manchester City's attack once again started to move forward from the backcourt.

The exquisite small cooperation gave Manchester City another chance to directly threaten the penalty area.

De Bruyne moved the ball to the weak side, and Sane got a rare one-on-one chance.

Pushing forward in small steps, Konarov lowered his center of gravity. After the previous fight, he had a new view on Sane's speed.

In the face of Sane's feint, Konarov maintained his focus.

This surprised Sane a little, but young people had more ideas.

The sudden change in dribbling rhythm caught Konarov off guard for the first time.

"Sane cuts into the penalty area, is he going to choose to shoot directly?"

"no!"

"It's a pass!"

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Manchester City expanded the score again, and now they hold a 2-goal lead!"

2 goals behind!

Such a result is not surprising to Eusebio Di Francesco, after all, the strength of Manchester City is obvious to all.

As an ambitious head coach, he naturally wants to lead this "weak" Roma team to the final.

As long as he reaches the final, no matter what the final result is, he will get a "decent" job.

In order to get what he wanted, Eusebio Di Francesco began to think quickly about the countermeasures to break the situation.

The game restarted less than 5 minutes, and the first half of the game also entered the final time-injury time.

De Rossi split the side, Konarov played with the retreating Nainggolan, and they got a chance to cross.

Although Dzeko had an advantage in position, they were still some distance away from scoring.

The pass is quite good, and then we will watch Dzeko's performance.

Unfortunately, Dzeko failed to hold the ball, Manchester City's goal kick.

Less than a minute after Edson Morais kicked out, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Manchester City, which leads by 2 goals, can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief. They are well aware of the current situation. As long as they don't go outside, they can still find opportunities to score goals after the second half begins!

[With 2 balls in hand, I don't believe this can be reversed! 】

[It's really about to come back, I won't go to the game anymore! 】

[Come on Roma, don't fall behind too much, I believe that we will let Manchester City know what a devil's home is when we return to the home court! 】

[The devil's home court?Even if the home atmosphere of Serie A is strong, the gap in strength needs to be paid attention to. 】

【.】

City fans were delighted throughout the first half, hoping to see their team have a chance to lift the Champions League trophy.

Although such an idea is a bit "naive", they always believe that the team they support can win this long-awaited trophy.

For the loyal fans of Serie A in this game, they need to admit that the strength of Serie A is already in a declining stage, and the overall strength is difficult to compete with the Premier League teams.

The overall situation in European football is also very obvious.

The biggest favorites of the Champions League trophy are mainly concentrated in the three major leagues, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Premier League!
As for Serie A?

Sorry, it is difficult for them to compete with these three major leagues now.

Barcelona, ​​one of the La Liga duo, has a lot of problems now, but they also have the strength of the top 8 to top 4!

Real Madrid is the biggest favorite in the Champions League. They have the best midfield combination in Europe. With Ronaldo on the front line, Real Madrid is the biggest favorite in the Champions League.

The same is true for Bayern in the Bundesliga. The only thing that needs to be considered is Bayern's two flying wings. Their age is really not young; the team management needs to put the renewal of the lineup on the agenda.

Regarding the update on the front line, the Bayern management already has a goal, and that is the Manchester City winger-Sane!
As for the Premier League, it depends on how "involved" they are in the league. If the point difference is widened, then their results in the Champions League may be very good!

This is the case right now!
The short intermission ended, and the starting players of both sides returned to the court one after another.

The second half of the game also started at this time.

Manchester City, who were playing at home, quickly spread out the formation, and the position of the two wingers attracted the attention of Roma's wing defenders.

And too many players in the middle made Li Feng not so comfortable.

Although he is not followed closely, he is not in a good position.

De Bruyne, who is advancing with the ball, can only give the next pass to other teammates.

Sterling got rid of it continuously, he dunked the defender, and the first time he cut into the penalty area, Sterling scored the ball.

De Bruyne, who followed up, kicked and shot!

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"4-1!"

"Manchester City's goal almost killed the game!"

Zhang Jun didn't say anything else. Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Manchester City expanded the score. For Eusebio Di Francesco, this game really went a long way.

De Bruyne, who scored a goal, is still not very good at celebrating.

But a 3-goal lead is the best celebration for him.

The game restarts.

Although Rome still maintains their desire to attack, their momentum is in a declining situation.

Several waves of Rome's offensive failed to penetrate the key areas, which hit Rome's mood.

Li Feng double-teamed Yundale as soon as he caught the ball with his back.

Manchester City completed the steal, and the opportunity to counterattack has come!

Li Feng made a cross and David Silva split again.

Kevin De Bruyne is at work again on his own.

Constantly observing the situation on the court during the advancement, De Bruyne passed the ball, and Teo Hernandez from the left made a cross.

The ball arced across the air.

Li Feng in the middle grabbed the first spot.

Although the ball was pushed out of bounds, Li Feng still let Rome's defense smell the crisis.

"Substitution, Li Feng was replaced to rest!"

The 3-goal lead can indeed allow the starters to rest, after all, they still have one round.

With Li Feng's end, Roma, who conceded another goal, seemed to smell an opportunity.

In the 87th minute, Roma made a comeback.

Konarov on the wing received a pass from his teammate. His cooperation with Nainggolan tore apart Kyle Walker's defense. With a precise 45-degree cross, Roma's chance came!
"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Roma got one goal back but they are still 3 goals behind, they are 2 goals behind Manchester City despite having 3 away goals in hand, if they want to reverse the game at home, they need to beat Manchester City again at home! "

Zhang Jun sighed lightly, Roma's performance is indeed very tenacious, but there are really too many behind!

The game starts again!
