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

Chapter 232 Advance to the Finals! (4K)

In the first round of the semi-finals, Manchester City defeated Rome 4-5 at home. For them, they can breathe a sigh of relief in the next away game.

It seemed to be just a sigh of relief.

When they arrived in Rome, they received a "warm welcome" from the Roma fans.

The current fatigue is clearly visible, and Guardiola has made new arrangements for this-let the players continue to rest, and he will go to the field!
This is what the head coach should do.

The "enthusiasm" of the Roma fans did not exceed Guardiola's expectations. He is well aware of the difficulties he will face in away games.

"It looks like this will be a fierce battle!"

Guardiola murmured softly.

Li Feng, who was still in the hotel at this time, also squinted his eyes halfway. Since becoming a professional player, his sleep quality has been pretty good, but this time he was really "welcome" by the Roma fans.

The game has not yet started, and the Roma fans are already supporting their home team with their own actions.

In response to this situation, Guardiola has no other way, he can only let the players rest in the hotel.

In the end, after "abandoning" part of the training time, Manchester City's players got a full rest time, and I believe they can complete the counterattack on the court in the next game.

However, it is not.

Roma, who played at home, showed their unprecedented strength. Even though their overall strength lags behind Manchester City, they still made Manchester City suffer.

The game has progressed to the second half, and Manchester City is 1-3 away from their opponents.

No one would have thought that Manchester City would play like this. If you really want to say, then Roma performed even better.

Roma, who played at home, seemed to have played chicken blood. Their performance was very good. It can even be said that if Edson Morais' performance was not stable enough, then Manchester City should be in a backward situation at this time.

The game restarted, and Roma, who were playing at home, still controlled the ball. This really worried Manchester City fans.

If Manchester City ends up losing the game because of "improper" defense, then it will be a fatal blow to Manchester City.

With consecutive passes to the ball, Roma's wingers got a chance to show themselves.

Konarov dunked the defensive player, and the "aged" full-back still showed his light and heat on the field.

The precise cross was given again, which is a great test of Manchester City's defense in the penalty area.

Although the ball was cleared by Laporte, the defensive pressure encountered by Manchester City in the penalty area still exists.

After the corner kick was taken, Manchester City was backlogged by Dzeko. This is not good news for Manchester City.

Dzeko returned with a header, and De Rossi followed up with an angry shot.

The speed of the ball is very fast, which tests the Manchester City goalkeeper.

But Edson Morais has proved with his own actions that he is the best candidate for Manchester City's goalkeeper position.

Roma's corner kick opportunity, Roma has used set kicks to rewrite the scene in this game, if they are lucky, now it is time for Manchester City to chase points!
Eusebio Di Francesco's tactics made Manchester City feel unprecedented pressure. Although they did not have a high ball possession rate, they passed the ball directly to Manchester City's vital points when counterattacking.

Then he suffered heavy defense, which gave Guardiola a headache.

Especially when he thinks of the next opponent in the Champions League - one of Real Madrid or Bayern. If it is Bayern, they can still compete head-on, but if it is Real Madrid, their sharp counterattack and their midfielder Combination, this is almost a mountain in front of Manchester City.

The game continues.

The quality of Roma's corner kicks is very high, and the defense in the penalty area has already "punched" the pockets.

But Dzeko's rich experience exposed problems in Manchester City's defense.

"GOALL LLL!!!!!!"

"Rome has another victory, Manchester City is in danger now!"

"With a score of 4-1, Roma leads by three goals. On the total score, Roma is now ahead of Manchester City with 2 away goals!"

"The tenacious Roma, although their strength is not as good as Manchester City, but they used their excellent tactical execution to make Manchester City suffer."

Zhang Jun was very surprised. Judging from the current situation, Manchester City's state of the game is average. If they want to reverse the game, then they need to show their desire to attack.

Because the awakening of a person cannot change the game.

The winner's balance has not completely tilted to Rome, and Manchester City still has a chance to come back.

As long as they score another goal, Manchester City will lock in the victory of this knockout round.

Regarding the state shown by Manchester City, Guardiola is particularly aware of the current situation.

Even if Manchester City surpasses Rome, then in the final final, there is a high probability that they will be "beaten" by Real Madrid, which has a sharper counterattack.

Manchester City's state after the kick-off this time seems to have recovered a bit, which made the away fans who traveled with the team once again support the team's victory. Although the away area is small, they still dare to make their voices.

As for the fans in front of the TV, many of them have chosen to turn off the TV, and they dare not watch the next game.

This season's Manchester City gave them new ambitions, but the cruelty of reality let them know that Manchester City's strength is not bad, but there is still a lot of distance from becoming a top team.

If the Champions League final is against Real Madrid, then this Real Madrid team led by Zinedine Zidane will make Manchester City miserable!
Although the game is still going on, the fans have chosen to express their "post-match" views on their various social media software.

[We still need to strengthen the defense. Those two guys alone cannot support the team's defense, as well as our midfielder. Although Fernandinho is very strong, we need a better team. lower back! 】

[The single midfielder model has too high requirements for midfielders. If we want to break through, we can't continue to play 433. We need to find a helper for Fernandinho, at least for now! 】

[4231?This does not meet my expectations for Manchester City's tactics, if we can, we hope we stick to 433, only such a formation is suitable for top players! 】

[It has been identified that the upstairs is a string. Football is constantly improving. Although the 433 formation is good, we need to find a suitable one for the moment, 4231 is also good. No matter 3241, as long as it can let us hold the trophy, it is the most suitable for us. 】

【.】

The fans' statements ignited a new "war" on social media.

For this game, many Manchester City fans have already agreed that the team has lost half of the game. If they want to reverse, then they need to get back to the state of the game as soon as possible!
The ball is still under the control of Manchester City, but the game time has also come to the last 5 minutes.

If you want to win the game, then Manchester City needs to speed up.

De Bruyne split the side, and he played with Bernardo Silva who replaced him.

They are not fast in terms of speed, but the speed of the ball rolling on the grass is faster than that of humans.

With the continuous hitting of the wall, Manchester City tore a hole on the left side of Rome.

De Bruyne's pass pierced Konarov's defense, Bernardo Silva adjusted and Manchester City found a better chance.

"GOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Li Feng succeeded in grabbing a point, and Manchester City regained their leading advantage. Next, they only need to do the simplest and most difficult thing-defense!"

Zhang Jun couldn't hide his excitement. Although Liverpool was eliminated by Manchester City, Li Feng's existence made him choose to support this "enemy"!
If you take the lead again, then it is the most critical moment. There is still about 1 minute left before the end of the game, and counting the injury time given by the referee, there are less than 5 minutes left in this game. time.

Facing a team that is behind, Manchester City now has two options, one is to press high, Manchester City try to get the ball back to their own hands as much as possible, and the other is to defend with all their strength!
During the player's celebration time, Guardiola made the final judgment with the fastest speed-defense, everything is based on defense!
As the game resumed, Guardiola's command was also passed on to the field at the same time.

In the face of Roma's rapid offensive, Manchester City shrunk very tightly. Except for the players in the midfield who kept harassing Roma's offense, the rest of the defense players had already done a good job of defending steadily.

Facing the oppressive feeling brought by Li Feng, the midfielder position of Rome became a transit point.

When the game entered the final time, Rome's left got another chance.

This is the last time of their game!

In Konarov's cross, Dzeko played his fulcrum role and returned the header.

Nainggolan who followed up kicked and shot.

The ball is hit by Edson Morais, Roma's corner.

"Roma's last chance, as long as they score this goal, they will drag Manchester City into overtime!"

"If it enters overtime, then everything will be hard to say!"

Zhang Jun believes that the Roma team is naturally aware of this. They are eager to drag the game into overtime, but there is one thing that needs to be paid special attention to, that is, the game time has reached the end.

If Roma's corner kick fails to bring a goal, then this game will be won by Manchester City.

If you are lucky, the referee may be able to give another chance, it all depends on the referee!

The quality of the corners is still on the line, and there are already enough Manchester City players in the penalty area, and they will use their efforts to stop Roma.

"Li Feng!!!!!!"

Noticing Li Feng's rescue, Zhang Jun sighed helplessly.

"At the offensive end, it depends on Li Feng. On the defensive end, it depends on Li Feng. But Li Feng is the only one. You can't expect Li Feng to do everything, can you?"

"Regardless of the final outcome of the final, Manchester City needs to rebuild the team's defense in the summer window!"

This proposal was approved by Zhan Lu.

Every player who wants to compete for the championship can have weaknesses, but that weakness must not appear on the defense line!

But now for Manchester City, the problems in the defense are too obvious, and they are destined to pay the price.

The final result of the game was won by Manchester City. They encountered unprecedented difficulties in this game. Fortunately, they had a big enough advantage at their home court, which allowed them to advance to the final without any danger.

Regarding the situation of this game, Guardiola intends to use the preparation period to sort it out.

In particular, they have a high probability of "meeting" with Real Madrid in the final.

Thinking that his opponent is Real Madrid, and it is still on the stage of the Champions League final, Guardiola wants to beat the opponent.

But reason told him that the possibility of this current Manchester City team wanting to achieve this is really low.

How to turn wishes into reality requires Guardiola to make final plans in the next time.

[Fuck?Won?Are you kidding me? 】

【? ? ? 】

[what? 】

【what! ! ! ! ! 】

[Mom, since we won, then our opponent will most likely be Real Madrid, and it will be difficult to win against them. 】

[I hope that the old iron of Bayern will give some strength, we don't want to see Real Madrid in the final! 】

[From now on, I am a Bayern fan! 】

【.】

The Manchester City fans who turned off the TV regretted it very much, but now that the game was won, they began to look forward to the next game.

The league has won the championship, as long as they win the Champions League, then Manchester City can be regarded as the first step to become a giant!
If they really want to talk about the winning percentage against Real Madrid, they know very well that it is really low.

If it were to switch to Bayern, Manchester City might be able to reach a 37-open situation.

Although "football is round", the overall strength of the team is still easy to see. The current Manchester City and Real Madrid are not on the same level.

"First of all, congratulations on your victory, Josep!"

"Now that we have reached the final, have you ever wondered which team your opponent will be? How much confidence do you have in defeating them?"

The post-match press conference is still a familiar beginning. Guardiola is now thinking about his future opponents.

If you really want to talk about Real Madrid, then he naturally wants to win them.

But the overall strength of the team may be an obstacle to realizing this "wish".

"I hope it's Real Madrid. As a kid from Barcelona, ​​I naturally want to beat them!"

Regarding the latter question, Guardiola does not want to discuss this here, especially since the game has not started yet, it is meaningless to discuss such a question, but discussing such a topic will affect other business matters!

"There are reports and rumors that Li has become the new target of Real Madrid. What do you think about this?"

"This is just a rumor. Li is very happy in Manchester. I can't think of a reason why he chose to leave here!"

It is said that Guardiola did not think about it.

Guardiola does not have any imagination about whether Li Feng will leave Manchester City. After all, they have reached an agreement before Li Feng joined. Start the next negotiation.

As for reaching an agreement in private?
Guardiola doesn't think this will be Li Feng's style!
