Chapter 160 The Final Eight of the Champions League after the Dust Settled

Looking at the [-]-[-] scoreboard on the field, Ancelotti walked back to his coaching bench. He was already thinking about how to face the storm of reporters in the press conference after the game.

With such a terrible total score, if he can't appease the psychological feelings of the fans and the top management, he is afraid that he will become the first head coach of Bayern in recent years to dismiss get out of class halfway.

Ancelotti, whose eyes were getting worse, rolled his eyes and called his assistant coach, ordering him to make a substitution.

Xavi Alonso couldn't run anymore, and Ancelotti replaced Thiago. After this substitution, the Italians had no room for adjustment. Disappointed already.

"The Italian coach finally decided to make a substitution, and Thiago is going to play! Xavi Alonso, who couldn't run, was replaced, and the defensive hardness of Bayern's midfield can only be supported by Vidal.

I am not optimistic about Ancelotti's substitution. This is a passive substitution. Thiago's playing cannot change Bayern's current bad situation.

With this leaky midfield defense now, it is very likely that Bayern will continue to lose the ball! "

Andy Gray pointed out Jiangshan in the live broadcast room. In his opinion, the substitution of the Italian coach is a signal for Bayern to give up the game.

Under the adjustment of Ancelotti, Vidal retreated to the position of the midfielder, and Thiago partnered with Thomas Muller as the midfielder.

Bayern's currently available midfielders are all standing on the pitch at the moment.

"Ancelotti is completely useless, and the aging of the lineup prevents him from making more choices."

When Guardiola saw Thiago, a midfielder he recruited by himself, came on the field, a trace of emotion emerged in his heart.

He was even a little thankful that he was fired by Bayern last summer and put him in Ancelotti's position. He may not necessarily be able to do better than the Italian.

From the perspective of hindsight, he may have escaped from a fire pit. Now his life in Manchester City is as sweet as honey. He has fallen in love with this city that can help him realize his dreams.

After Bayern Munich made a substitution, they launched an offensive again. Several young players did not want to be the background of this game, and wanted to struggle desperately with an unyielding energy.

However, Manchester City's stability after the re-kick-off is outrageous.

They were back to the way they were at the beginning of the first half, using possession and medium-intensity pressing to seduce Bayern's young players,
After pulling Bayern's formation apart, they aimed at the loopholes in the opponent's defense and launched a quick counterattack.

Moreover, the overall formation of Manchester City has been properly contracted, Yaya Toure retreated to the midfielder, Zhao Jinge and Mahrez also retracted, and Bayern's wing attack, which improved slightly in the second half, suddenly became more and more difficult. .

Both Mahrez and Zhao Jinge can provide defensive support to the wing in time, and both of them are very fast, and the timing of supplementary defense and counterattack is very appropriate, which makes Bayern's advancement very uncomfortable.

Besides, once Manchester City's formation is recovered, the double defensive midfielders and two full-backs will protect the back line very well.

Douglas Costa and Koeman are now facing double-teams as soon as they get the ball, let alone facing Manchester City's defenders, they can't even get past Manchester City's full-backs and waistlines.

Lewandowski and Bayern's two attacking midfielders also fell into the double-teaming of Manchester City's defensive players.
The entire Bayern offensive group fell into Manchester City's defensive system, relying on the superiority in numbers to completely strangle Bayern's offensive possibility.

The Bayern fans in the Etihad Stadium are getting colder the more they look at it. After spending so much time and money, you just show me this scene?Isn't this pure imprisonment? !
The hearts of Bayern fans are broken when they travel across the ocean to go to jail.

If Manchester City still plays against Bayern, Bayern still has a good chance to score again, but if Manchester City continues to torture defense and possession like this, it will be too difficult to deal with.

The four-five-one formation, including several world-class defensive players, has high morale and is well-organized, and Manchester City is now leading the total score by six goals. There is no panic at all in their mentality, and there is almost no flaw at all.

Ordinary teams put on a bus, and strong teams have to figure out how to break it. Once a strong team like Manchester City starts to play utilitarian football, the difficulty index will rise several levels!
On the other hand, Bayern has no points of violence that can break the game, so they can only attack from the outside for a long time, which really confirms the old saying that I just stay outside and can't get in.

Others may be driving when they say this, but Bayern really can't get in!It's purely to watch the excitement outside, but it hardly threatens Manchester City's goal.

In the No.80 minute of the second half, Guardiola replaced Mahrez with Stones, and put up a formation of three midfielders in a serious manner, completely dispelling Bayern's offensive intentions, and directly showing a lot of Bayern watching the game The fans were so angry that they broke their defenses. This is not giving them a chance!

In particular, Bayern's young players kicked higher and higher. First, they hit their heads on the two sides, and then fell into the sea of ​​people in the middle. Wandowski.

After one operation, there was no attack, not to mention the slightest improvement, and his own rhythm was completely disrupted.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the last ten minutes of the second half of the game passed slowly like this, and the stoppage time had come to an end.

Lewandowski was still trying his best to complete the last attack with the ball. He managed to get rid of Stones behind him and hit his last shot of the game.
But the long-range shot was safely saved by Joe Hart, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game at this time!
"The game is over! Manchester City finally defeated the visiting Bayern Munich [-]-[-] at home!
In this Champions League knockout match, Manchester City can be regarded as a revenge success!

In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the first two seasons, they played against Bayern Munich four times and only won one game, and they were double-killed last season!

Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, Manchester City, which has been reborn this season, double-killed Bayern Munich with a huge advantage of [-] to [-] and broke into the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League!

Gave Bayern an unforgettable trip to the Champions League! "

"Zhao Jinge's number of goals in the Champions League has also reached thirteen. He is currently ranked first in the scorer list, one goal ahead of Ronaldo. The competition for the Golden Boot in the Champions League has also entered the most intense time!"

Double play Bayern advanced to the quarterfinals. After this game, Manchester City will unknowingly stole the limelight again.

The second-leg match between Manchester City and Bayern is the last batch of games in the Champions League quarter-finals.

After confirming Manchester City's advancement, this season's Champions League quarter-finals are also freshly released.

In addition to Manchester City, Barcelona and Arsenal became the winners of the other two strong duels.

After Juventus had a difficult draw with Barcelona at home, they did not escape the fate of being eliminated. In the championship matchup last season, it was still the veteran Barcelona who had the last laugh.

MSN opened fire at their home court and defeated the old woman [-]-[-]. The Bianconeri hated the Nou Camp and fell to the Catalans for two consecutive years.

The old hatred has not gone, and the new hatred has come again, and a new account has been recorded in Juventus's small notebook. One day, Barcelona, ​​please remember to me, and I will get it back with interest!

After Arsenal drew with Paris Saint-Germain at home, the outside world is actually more optimistic about the French local tyrants advancing to the quarter-finals.

After all, judging from the lineup, Paris led by Ibrahinovic is strong, and there is a first-class European star in every position.

The central axis of Ibrahimovic, Motta, Thiago Silva, and David Luiz is not luxurious.

But what is unexpected is that this star-studded Galaxy battleship overturned again in the Champions League. This time they fell to Arsenal, who had just come out of the vicious circle of Barcelona for three years and Bayern for five years.

Although the Gunners lost a wave of chains in the February game, and there were many minor injuries and ailments in personnel, but before the match against Paris, Arsenal miraculously ensured the integrity of the lineup and maintained Slowly recovered after March.

Sanchez passed and shot, Arsenal beat Paris [-]-[-]!
At the moment when the promotion was confirmed, Professor Wenger burst into tears. No one knew how much pressure the old man had accumulated in his heart.

Arsenal have not reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for five consecutive years since they fell under the spell of the knockout draw.

After the strong and powerful Paris was drawn this time, Wenger also felt a little desperate. Could it be that Arsenal will never come back?

But who would have thought that the gunners who were united as one would defeat the invincible Parisians with a weak victory, Ibrahimovic habitually disappeared in the Champions League knockout rounds, and Arsenal returned to the Champions League quarter-finals after five years!
The old coach shed tears on the scene, and every tear was his eternal love for Arsenal!
In addition to these two groups of strong dialogues, in the two groups of gift pack duels, Wolfsburg double-killed Zenit from the Russian Super League, Eindhoven won one and one draw, and narrowly beat Gent with a total score of [-] to [-].

After losing the twin stars and a large number of heroes who won the championship, Wolf Castle unexpectedly exploded with amazing fighting power,
Having achieved the best record in team history in the Champions League and advanced to the quarter-finals, Zhao Jinge was very excited about the prosperous days of his old club, but besides the excitement, Zhao Jinge was also a little sad. That's extreme joy begets sorrow.

In the other three matchups, Real Madrid defeated Dynamo Kiev [-]-[-] in two games. The Madrid giants shredded their opponents lightly, and once again launched an impact on the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid and Borussia Mönchengladbach directly staged two defensive battles. In the end, Simeone was superior, and Atletico Madrid scored the only goal in the two games, eliminating Borussia and advancing to the quarterfinals.

Chelsea was submissive in the league, and made a heavy blow in the Champions League. They easily sent off the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica with [-]-[-] in two clean games, and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Hiddink barely kept his coaching position and did not become the second head coach cut by the Blues this season, but as far as Chelsea's current performance is concerned,

It is only a matter of time before Hiddink loses his coaching position. The No.10 ranking in the league has made Abramovich unbearable anymore.

Who is Chelsea's next firefighting coach has always been one of the most concerned topics in the Premier League media.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are all decided, and the focus of European football has recently been on the Champions League. All the media are talking about the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the team most likely to win the championship.

At this time, an article titled "Manchester City, the most powerful contender for the Champions League!" "The article became popular in Europe.

It's the second leg of Manchester City's second leg with Bayern, and Sky Sports' front-page news.

The news details City's Champions League advantage and the bookmakers' ranking of the teams currently in the quarter-finals.

"Manchester City has topped the Champions League odds list after beating Bayern Munich and is the team most favored by bookmakers.

At present, the top three leagues of Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue [-] have been eliminated.

The battle for the Western Super League title between the three top teams of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is inseparable.

The top-ranked Barcelona is only three points ahead of No.3 Real Madrid. In the already fierce championship battle in the Western Super League, any loss of points will determine the title of the champion.

Among the five major leagues, only the Premier League title race is the least suspenseful. As long as Manchester City wins the next round of the league against Manchester United, they will be crowned Premier League champions.

Having been eliminated early in the FA Cup, they can devote all their attention to the competition for the Champions League.

Manchester City, with strong troops and sufficient rest time, is definitely an opponent that every team does not want to face in the quarter-final draw.

Arsenal and Chelsea are both defeated by Manchester City in the Premier League. Wolfsburg, Eindhoven and Manchester City have a huge gap in strength.

Among the three giants of the Western Super League, because of their involvement with each other, they cannot devote all their energy to the Champions League.

In terms of Real Madrid, Benitez has just finished get out of class. After Zidane came to power, it is still unclear whether this rookie coach who has never had first-team coaching experience can lead Real Madrid, a galactic battleship, to success.

Whether Simeone's Atletico Madrid can reach the end of the league and the Champions League at the same time with a slightly thin lineup, and maintain a high level of competition, this is something that cannot be guaranteed.

As for Barcelona, ​​Catalans, have you heard the trumpet of revenge from Manchester? !
The unstoppable Manchester City are ready once again to challenge for the European throne and they have made a comeback! "

The content of the article is actually nothing special. It is just an analysis based on the strength and current situation of the top eight teams in the Champions League, and finally came to the conclusion that Manchester City is the most powerful contender for the Champions League.

The fans of Manchester City watched with relish, and the fans of other teams, especially the top three in the Western Super League, watched with anger.

WTF?For the first time in the history of the team, the team that advanced to the quarter-finals is clamoring to win the championship. This is too disrespectful to the top three of the Western Super League!
All of a sudden, various controversies about Manchester City spread throughout the world, and all football fans were discussing the probability of Manchester City winning the championship.

Unknowingly, Manchester City has reached the point where fans say it can be compared with the top European teams.

It has to be said that this is also an obvious improvement. At least in the eyes of many fans, Manchester City is already a team that cannot be ignored in European football.

Just like the subconscious sense of despair you felt when you heard that your home team had drawn Real Madrid in the Champions League, Manchester City is now synonymous with uneasiness.
