Chapter 187 An Unexpected Opponent!
The Manchester City squad watched the draw from the physiotherapy center at the Etihad training ground the day after the Champions League match.

Manchester City VS Atletico Madrid!

Real Madrid VS Chelsea!
Seeing the result of the lottery, although Zhao Jinge said he was a little surprised, he was not too surprised.

The draw for the Champions League knockout rounds this season has long been beyond recognition. It is also a good thing for Manchester City that they did not meet Real Madrid as they wished.

At least compared to Zidane's Real Madrid, Simeone's Jagged Atletico Madrid is more of a headache for Manchester City today.

Throughout Atletico Madrid's knockout tour, Simeone has been using the most efficient tactics to win,
After winning a goal or even an away goal, the Atletico Madrid team can concentrate on defending the entire game, grinding the opponent to death abruptly.

Such a powerful opponent who can lay down his body to guard against death is definitely something that every team does not want to encounter, especially in a single-round winning final.

It is undoubtedly beneficial for defensive teams to decide the outcome of a game.

The big deal is to survive 120 minutes and go to a penalty shootout.

But in the semi-finals of the home and away rounds, it was obviously more difficult for Simeone's team to survive the 180-minute bombardment of Manchester City.

Compared with meeting this difficult Atletico Madrid in the final, it can be said that it is a better choice to send away the opponent in the semi-finals with more game time.

"Unfortunately, if you want to avenge Wolfsburg, it's only time for the final."

Zhao Jinge sighed after reading the lottery results.

De Bruyne, who was sitting next to him, looked at his lonely look and couldn't help but joked:
"Is that why you look down on Chelsea? Before the two rounds started, you have already asserted that Real Madrid has entered the final. You don't take Chelsea seriously."

"It's not that I don't like him, it's that they really don't have a chance. No matter which one of the three of us Chelsea is against, it's a gift boy, right?"

Zhao Jinge spread his hands indifferently.

To be honest, Chelsea's ability to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League has completely exceeded everyone's expectations at this stage.

Being in a group that is not very competitive, after a stumbling group qualifying,

First, they drew a Porto, which Mourinho knew very well, and then they drew PSV Eindhoven, the weakest of the quarter-finals, and directly sent them to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
But after reaching the semi-finals, none of the remaining teams can be touched by Chelsea, whose organization is chaotic and the coach is precarious.

Not to mention Manchester City, which double-killed Chelsea in the league, even Simeone's Atletico Madrid eliminated Chelsea led by Mourinho in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the [-]-[-] season not long ago.

The Argentine's iron-blooded Atletico Madrid is not inferior to Mourinho's counterattack bus in terms of defensive skill. Now Hiddink's Chelsea, which has followed Mourinho's old path, is struggling to death, and only the previous eight successes It is impossible to be Manchester City's opponent.

As for facing their semi-final opponent Real Madrid, if Hiddink's team can rely on defense to carry Real Madrid's offense, then Chelsea is not without a chance.

But compared to Real Madrid, which has been gaining momentum recently, Chelsea is definitely the one with fewer opportunities. Unless there is another one or two years of miracles, it is better to go to bed early!

City have three league games to play in the Premier League before the Champions League semi-final.

Guardiola expects to use these three league games to sharpen the team's lineup. There are only two games left before the Champions League final.
As long as he can break through Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded bus, Guardiola has the confidence to win whether he faces Chelsea or his old rival Real Madrid in the final.

On the team side, Zhao Jinge had to invite the whole team to have dinner at a luxury restaurant in Manchester under the pressure of his teammates because he had been selected as the player of the match several times recently.

This group of guys dragged their homes and brought their mouths, so that Zhao Jinge directly covered his wallet when he paid the bill and felt the feeling of bleeding, more than 5 Euros,

This is because the teammates were merciful and did not dare to order the best red wine, otherwise, if the number is less than [-] Euros, the restaurant will definitely not let them go!

In the four rounds of the weekend league No.30, Manchester City sits at home against No.10 ranked league No.[-] Chelsea who are going all out to prepare for the semi-finals of the Champions League.

It has to be said that this game came by coincidence, and Manchester City can use Chelsea to polish their ability to break dense defenses.

Chelsea can also see if their defense can withstand Manchester City's battering hammer.

Both teams have found their best sparring opponents before the Champions League semi-finals.

In this game, De Bruyne returned to the starting lineup. Under Guardiola's consideration, Zhao Jinge did not return to his left winger position.

Double center forwards, since they want to attack the city, it is natural to put the biggest battering ram at the forefront of the team. It seems that Guardiola has already made preparations for Zhao Jinge to stay at the center position for a long time.

This is indeed the best choice to maximize Zhao Jinge's offensive ability.

In the game that night, Guardiola uncharacteristically did not rotate, and directly deployed his strongest lineup.

Hiddink was not surprised by Guardiola's formation, because so did he.

In the case of facing the semi-finals of the Champions League in ten days, this mediocre Premier League will allow the coaches of the two teams to face off with the full main lineup of the Champions League.

The game seemed to be as Guardiola expected.

At the beginning, Chelsea defended first, while Manchester City attacked frantically. The morale boost brought by the elimination of defending champion Barcelona in the Champions League was beyond imagination.

At this moment, they looked as if they wanted to kick the earth to pieces!

Every player on the offensive line on the court is very active. Facing the shrunken Chelsea team, Manchester City's offensive line seems to have encountered a soft persimmon.

In the second minute, Manchester City got a free kick in the frontcourt. Kompany headed the goal from close range and was pushed out by Courtois. The subsequent corner kick also created a threat again.

After that, Zhao Jinge and Aguero got consecutive shots.

The most threatening attack occurred in No. 17 minutes. De Bruyne sent a wonderful pass in the penalty area. Zhao Jinge leaned his body against Ivanovic and kicked the goal from close range.

As a result, Zhao Jinge's shot hit Chelsea's goal frame heavily, causing Guardiola, who was about to celebrate the goal, to sigh heavily.

Chelsea did not hit the first shot of the game until the No. 201 minute. The ball possession rate of the whole team was suppressed below 20.00%, which was completely a posture of defending to the end and fighting back.

In the 205th minute of the game, Kompany scored with a header from Manchester City's corner kick!
Manchester City led Chelsea [-]-[-] at home, and the Manchester City fans shouted loudly, the Champions League is still hard to say, but Manchester City's stable posture in the league is so delightful to Manchester City fans.

If every summer, like this year, can determine the ownership of the league champion early, it will definitely be one of the things that make the Blue Moons happiest.

Chelsea was not in a hurry when the score fell behind. Of course, they looked like they were shrinking to the end. They made up their minds to see if their defense line could withstand the ravages of Europe's top attack line!

In the 309th minute of the game, Zhao Jinge's long shot from outside the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper. The Chelsea defender was unable to clear the siege under the pressure of Mahrez. Blast the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Manchester City lead Chelsea [-]-[-]!

Scoring two goals directly in the first half, Manchester City relied on their strong offensive firepower to knock the tortoise shell of the car to pieces.

Up to now, several forwards of Manchester City are also impatient!Can you play slowly, the forward line has not scored a goal yet?
How come the midfielder has already kicked the opponent out?

This Chelsea bus looks very good, who knows that it will be broken at the touch of a touch. Real Madrid really picked up a treasure.

Whoever uses the Chelsea brand gift bag will know!
Before the end of the first half, Manchester City intercepted the ball behind the center circle, and De Bruyne launched a counterattack fast break.

Mahrez quickly dribbled into the penalty area from the right and then quickly knocked the ball back to the front of the penalty area.

Yaya Toure followed up again, and Zhao Jinge waved quickly.

The Ivorian kicked diagonally into the left side of the penalty area to find Zhao Jinge.

Zhao Jinge didn't stop the ball and directly rubbed the ball with his instep. The football crossed an inner arc and fell into the far corner of the goal!
Manchester City [-]-[-] Chelsea.

Manchester City turned into the most terrifying goal machine at the Etihad Stadium.

Goal up against Chelsea's fabled slugfest.

When Chelsea couldn't bear it in the second half and began to change their posture to attack Manchester City's defense, they didn't know what to do!

In order to ensure their dignity, they worked hard, but Manchester City frequently staged halftime fast breaks.

After the whole game, Manchester City's offensive tactics have been vividly displayed. As for whether Chelsea's defensive tactics have been improved, it is up to the beholder to see the wisdom of the wise.

At the end of the game, Manchester City beat Chelsea [-]-[-] at the Didi Hard Stadium, which was a good start for their trip to the Champions League semi-finals.

On the evening of April 30th, the No.[-] Premier League played five rounds.

Manchester City challenge Newcastle United away.

The game was very intense. In just ten seconds of the opening, Zhao Jinge used a long shot to threaten Newcastle United's goal.

No. In the 11th minute, Zhao Jinge stopped the ball with a wonderful kick, cut inside and dunked two defenders, shot low with his left foot in front of the goal, and the football flew into the goal after passing the opponent's goalkeeper's hands.

Manchester City lead [-]-[-] away.

Subsequently, Newcastle United fought back, the forward of the Magpies made a pass back, and the midfielder volleyed and hit the goal, but it went slightly wide and missed an excellent scoring opportunity.

In the 604th minute of the second half, when Manchester City counterattacked quickly, Aguero sent a through pass, Mane sent a wonderful pass, Zhao Jinge passed the opponent's central defender, and shot with his right foot ten meters in front of the goal, scoring twice.

Just when everyone thought that Newcastle United was basically no longer in danger, the game entered stoppage time, and the Magpies midfielder took a corner kick. Their striker headed the goal for the Magpies Score a goal.

Two to one, Manchester City finally won a small victory over their opponents.

Guardiola was furious after the game, and he couldn't believe the team's laxity at the last moment.

"If we keep playing like this, then I can only congratulate Atlético Madrid!"

The implication is that after a period of smooth sailing, Manchester City began to relax a little.

The idea of ​​relaxing just before the big fight is an absolute disaster, but that was shown against the Magpies.

If a flaw is revealed in the Champions League semi-finals, Simeone's Atletico Madrid will never give Manchester City a chance to make up again.

Premier League No.30 six rounds.

Manchester City sits at home against Stoke City, the city of the sky.

Zhao Jinge, who did not make the squad for the game, sat in a box with De Bruyne, who also did not play, to watch the game today.

Although the camera will show him here, he is always sending messages on his mobile phone.

Mendez had a message for him.

Zidane informed Florentino to try his best to introduce Zhao Jinge in the summer!

The limit transfer fee that Real Madrid, which is not short of money, can afford is about 2 million pounds, before Neymar has created a sky-high transfer fee of more than [-] million euros.

This is definitely a jaw-dropping number.

Zhao Jinge was not too impressed by this.

Although the five words Real Madrid have fascinating magic for any football player, Manchester City, which is now thriving, is not bad at all.

Instead of going to Real Madrid to compete with Ronaldo for the right to fire, it is better to stay in Manchester City and be the king of Ittihad.

In addition, according to the gossip from Mendes, Mourinho is about to enter Old Trafford. He once commented on Zhao Jinge when he exchanged signing strategies with Woodward.

Manchester United now has problems on all three lines. If they want to completely solve the troubles on the offensive line, the introduction of Zhao Jinge is the best choice.

But one can imagine how difficult the transfer will be!

What do you think?
Zhao Jinge is still not sure if he runs away, will he be able to play Manchester United in the Champions League next season?

And it is Manchester City's rival in the same city, this is absolutely impossible!

Zhao Jinge replied directly in the text message: This should be a joke.

The game in the stadium is relatively dull, Manchester City seeks stability, and with the upcoming semi-finals of the Champions League, the team wants to win economically and economically.

But Stoke City is not stupid, they have not succeeded in relegation, and Stoke City, who are already preparing to work hard to stay in the Premier League, have no plan to wait for the holiday.

With the iron barrel formation, the posture has been set, Manchester City can attack whatever they want, and try to see if they can pierce their layers of defense.

And they played Manchester City's defensive counterattack wholeheartedly.

Manchester City, who played all off the bench, has no intention of winning in the face of such a relegation team.

The two sides of the game just played the game tepidly
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Zhao Jinge stood up and applauded with the fans.

Manchester City shook hands with Stoke City at home.

The whole team will focus on the next Champions League match with Atletico Madrid.
