Chapter 294: Eastern Expedition to Kiev
It is a pity that at such an exciting moment, Manchester City players were playing away games and could not celebrate with their fans at the Etihad Stadium.

But at this moment, the Etihad Stadium has actually become a sea of ​​carnival. Many Blue Moon fans who did not buy away tickets watched the game on the big screen at the team's home court under the organization of the club. And got the chance to draw a commemorative jersey.

However, although they were unable to celebrate the birth of the record at home, Manchester City players believe that there will be many moments to celebrate championships at their home court in the future. The slight regret now will be enough to make up for it with more crazy celebrations!
On September 24, just two days after the last round of the league, the first round of the League Cup between Manchester City and Swansea officially started.

The two teams met twice in three days!Only this time it’s at Manchester City’s home court!

Zhao Jinge did not start the game. Among the remaining starting players of Manchester City, the only main players are Mane, Mahrez, David Silva and Joe Hart who were suspended in the last round of the league. The rest of the main players are on the bench. Rest at the table.

With David Silva's assist, Dzeko, who finally got a chance to start, opened the scoring in the game. Even if most of Manchester City's midfielders and frontcourt players were substitutes, Swansea could not stop it.

Swansea scored one goal in each half, and even if they got a goal back in the second half, it would not make up for it.

Swansea's players also had to drag their tired bodies to swallow the bitter pill of a [-]-[-] defeat, and Manchester City successfully advanced to the next round of the League Cup!
After the League Cup game, the Champions League game came back after a three-week hiatus.

Before the second round of the Champions League begins, the group that gets the most attention is still Group D, where several strong teams gather together.

Barcelona, ​​Porto, Tottenham Hotspur, and Monaco met four teams. From the moment the draw results came out, these four teams were destined to dominate most of the traffic during the Champions League group stage.

The game between Barcelona and Tottenham in the first round was quite enjoyable, and the other two teams in this group were also able to play smooth and gorgeous offense.

Even Porto, currently recognized as the weakest team in this group, is still the dominant player in the Portuguese Super League and plays in the Champions League all year round.

That is to say, the groups are too divided this time, otherwise Porto would also be a strong contender for qualification!
In comparison, Group G, where Manchester City is located, has received only average attention in European football.

Of course, if the scope is extended to the whole world, the attention of Group G should be almost the same as that of Group D.

After all, the traffic of Manchester City and Real Madrid now overlaps, allowing Manchester City and Real Madrid to get a lot of discussion regardless of which opponent they play.

Even if it was just against Dynamo Kiev, with the appeal of Manchester City and Zhao Jinge, many fans would buy it.

After all, this is a Champions League level match, and the opponent is slightly inferior. Maybe Zhao Jinge can still score more goals? !

I'm used to seeing strong dialogues, and it's not impossible to have a little bit of rape every now and then to cheer everyone up.

On the day of the match, in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, a large number of local fans also poured into the Kiev Olympic Stadium in advance.

Amid the cheers of local fans, even Manchester City players felt tremendous pressure in such a devilish home stadium.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past, Dynamo Kiev was able to miraculously overthrow many European giants at home, and their home court advantage must account for at least [-]% of the credit.

Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain their state of diarrhea as soon as they play away games. They are a typical dragon at home and a worm on the road.

Today's Kiev fans also understand very well, creating an overly enthusiastic home atmosphere from the start.

When the announcer read out Manchester City's name, the cheers instantly turned into boos.

Zhao Jinge couldn't help but frown when he heard the overwhelming insults.

Although as a professional player, such a scene is actually very common, and it is also part of a professional game, but when more than 4 people booed together, few players can be completely undisturbed.

When playing a home game, when you hear this kind of booing, you will feel that there are supporters standing behind you, all of which are directed at the opponent's players.

But playing away games, such boos mean that you are facing not only the eleven players on the opposite side, but also tens of thousands of home fans.

Think about how many people will ridicule and abuse you if you make a slight mistake in this situation. The more you think about it, the more likely you will make mistakes, and then fall into an endless loop of abnormal performance.

Many players have faced such difficulties.

But at this moment, Zhao Jinge can only face countless enemies on the court with his teammates.

The more you scold, the more severe my actions will be. Let’s see if you are still in the mood to bark!
Looking at the Dynamo Kyiv players with an apologetic look, Zhao Jinge's frown relaxed and was replaced by a boiling desire to score!

And with the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Compared with the first Champions League group match, the importance of the second group match is undoubtedly much higher.

In many cases, after the second Champions League group match, it is basically possible to see whether a team has the strength to advance to the top [-] of the Champions League.

Therefore, many teams will put more energy into this game, and the scene is often much more exciting than the first group match.

At least today, Manchester City, which had a draw in the last round, did not want to sit still and wait for death. They launched a fierce press against Dynamo Kyiv from the beginning, which was quite a bit counter-attack.

Guardiola did a relatively thorough research on the Dynamo Kiev team before the game.

For at least the past ten years, he and the coaching team have carefully studied Dynamo Kyiv’s Champions League data, home and away winning percentage, including some game videos.

According to their analysis, Dynamo Kyiv will appear a bit conservative every time they play away games.

This is also one of the reasons why they are called away game bugs. They work hard at home, but when they play away games, their performance will be a question mark.

Today's Dynamo Kyiv is indeed the same. In Guardiola's excited eyes, the Ukrainian team at home actually started a confrontation with Manchester City. This is really not afraid of death!Despite the crazy boos from the fans at the scene, the Manchester City players who took the first kick-off did not show any stage fright. They put aside their initial nervousness and actively put pressure on Dynamo Kiev from the start!
At this point, the two teams started fighting madly in the midfield at the beginning of the game.

Manchester City's players are indeed a little uncomfortable with Dynamo Kyiv's behavior of rushing to start the game. After all, they were the only ones to steal their opponents in the Premier League before. How could any opponent dare to steal their share?

Even a team as powerful as Real Madrid would be cautious when encountering Manchester City. How could they rush out without knowing where the sky is the limit? !
Although the Manchester City players who were mentally prepared before the game were not disrupted by the opponent's fierce impact, but instead penetrated into Dynamo Kyiv's half, the fierce strangulation in the midfield also caused Manchester City's offensive rhythm to suffer a lot. Small impact.

But after all, it is Manchester City, which is strong, and Manchester City faced this situation many times last season, so the experienced De Bruyne quickly called on Mahrez and Manedo to drop back to help control the field.

Instead of blindly passing the ball forward, he steadily controlled the ball at his feet and exhausted the patience of the Dynamo Kyiv players through frequent passes and runs.

Manchester City has never been a team that organizes football standing up. After De Bruyne came to the team, he quickly developed a playing style of organizing and supporting teammates while constantly running.

This style of play will consume a lot of physical energy of the players, but the benefits are also obvious. While they are very good at pressing and pressing the opponent, they are not very afraid of the opponent's pressing.

So even if Manchester City plays a [-]-[-]-[-] formation today, compared with Dynamo Kyiv’s [-]-[-]-[-], the number of midfielders is not dominant, but with the continuous running of the midfielders and backfield players, Manchester City is still very good. controlled the situation on the court.

As the core of the team's offense, Zhao Jinge was thinking about whether to retreat as soon as the game started. Teacher Ding had already led his teammates in the midfield to try to pass the half.

This made the players of Dynamo Kyiv feel a little uncomfortable, and their head coach also felt bad.

The peak match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the first round of the Champions League was tied [-]-[-]. At that time, he had a rough rating of Manchester City's strength.

It's hard to say whether they can beat Real Madrid, but they are much better than Dynamo Kiev.

At least that's the case on the offensive end, so Dynamo Kyiv, who felt they couldn't defend themselves, relied on tenacious fighting at the beginning of the game to take a chance and see what the situation was.

But now the composure shown by Manchester City in the midfield makes all Dynamo Kyiv players feel a little afraid.

De Bruyne is incredibly calm, and in addition to the technical support of Mane and Mahrez, Gundogan can also assume a lot of organizational responsibilities beside De Bruyne.

Stones on the defensive line can even reach the midfielder position many times to help deliver the ball. This kind of field control ability greatly exceeds the Ukrainian expectations.

After all, since the start of the new season, Manchester City, which has not yet adjusted at the beginning, has basically been a slow-starting side in the Premier League. Who knew that after recovering, they would show such murderous intent!
There is a monster in the frontcourt, a top-level center, the midfielder is calm and strong, and the defense does not seem to have any big problems. It is really difficult to find a breakthrough!

And just when Dynamo Kyiv's players felt more and more tired as they fought, Manchester City decisively accelerated and launched an offensive.

Mane played very constrained in the first 10 minutes. It's not that he doesn't like to contribute to the team in other ways, but in comparison, charging in the frontcourt is obviously his preferred job.

At this moment, he finally had the opportunity to perform. Mane also broke away from the restraints and actively ran for the ball.
Under the cover of Zhao Jinge, Mahrez also used a long diagonal pass to successfully find the forward Mane.

After joining Manchester City, Mane's reputation on the court has also increased day by day. After all, his strength is there. Dynamo Kiev's right midfielder and right back immediately formed a double-team on Mane.

But Mane also chose to knock the ball horizontally in time. Gundogan, who came to respond, did not hesitate and looked for Zhao Jinge after getting the ball.

For all offenses in the frontcourt, it is right to turn to Zhao Jinge when the situation cannot be opened.

At this moment, Zhao Jinge also made his choice after observing his surroundings.

Halfway through Gundogan's pass, Zhao Jinge moved.

Facing the ball, Zhao Jinge did not choose to hold it with his back immediately. Zhao Jinge directly used his heel to knock the ball to the right edge of Dynamo Kiev's penalty area!

Such a passing attempt caused the Dynamo Kyiv midfielder who came to intercept to directly lose his position, and Mahrez, who ran into the position, easily entered the penalty area with the ball.

"Good ball, Zhao Jinge's heel pass! Mahrez has entered the penalty area. This is an absolutely good opportunity. Whether Mahrez can pass or shoot, it depends on how he chooses!"

Although the on-site commentary shouted Mahrez's name, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Jinge's position.

"After Zhao Jinge passed the ball, he started to sprint back. We all know that after Zhao Jinge increases his speed, few defenders can stop him. Mahrez, Mahrez passes the ball!"

Under the gaze of countless spectators, Mahrez finally chose to pass the ball. Rather than taking a kick himself, he still trusted the person sprinting in the middle. As long as he could run, the ball would basically be there!
The intersecting movements of Mane and Gundogan attracted the attention of at least two defenders, which is still very important for Zhao Jinge.

One-on-one, facing the opponent's last central defender, Zhao Jinge opened up the space with a smash, accelerated forward, and directly ate the unknown central defender alive.

Facing Dynamo Kiev goalkeeper Rudko, Zhao Jinge, who was now unstoppable, waved his thigh without hesitation and fired a powerful volley!

Rudko subconsciously made a save, but the speed of the ball was too fast. The ball finally plunged into the net in the upper left corner of the goal. Rudko also fell into the goal. In the end, he could only be upset. Smash the ground.

After Zhao Jinge saw the football entering the net, he clenched his fists and roared, then opened his arms and started running at the bottom line!

Guardiola also jumped up from the sidelines. Before the second Champions League group match started, he was still a little nervous. After all, he was facing Dynamo Kiev away from home, and this game must not fail.

But you still have to look at Zhao Jinge at the critical moment!

As soon as the goal was scored, all the nervousness in his heart disappeared.

It’s just that the Dynamo Kiev fans at the scene are suffering. They are now cursing and booing Zhao Jinge’s goal. They don’t know what kind of existence they have caused? !
