I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 396 Angel shines!

On the Monday after the first leg of the Champions League, Guardiola sent a full substitute lineup to fight as always, and beat Watford 1-0. The main lineup was all seizing the time to prepare for the second leg with Paris Saint-Germain.

Regarding the showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City in the second round, the English sports media are very optimistic: Manchester City will once again advance to the final!

Once they can get past Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City will be the favorite to win the Champions League semi-finals!

Not only are the outside world not optimistic about Bayern Munich's comeback against Real Madrid, they also have doubts about whether Real Madrid can defeat Manchester City in this duel.

At the last moment of the Champions League, a team with real superstars is so powerful!

Match day, Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain fans created spectacular TIFO to meet Manchester City's challenge.

The pattern depicts a scene of the city of Paris, with the Paris Saint-Germain team logo flying above the stadium!

The players from both teams looked serious and were in high spirits.

No matter how tired they are, now they need to be in their best condition for the final peak showdown of the season!

The pressure is on PSG's side.

Once the Champions League is eliminated.

Emery may not be able to keep his coaching job!

As the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, the French Ligue 1 and Coupe de France champions are just passing marks. Whether they can go further in the Champions League is their real lifeline!

The starting players of the two teams came on stage, the camera swept over everyone, and the ultimate showdown between Manchester City and Paris was about to take place.

"Good evening, dear viewers, and welcome to the second leg of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

Paris Saint-Germain faces Manchester City at home.

In the first round a week ago, Manchester City defeated Paris Saint-Germain 4-3 at home, but the French team also has the advantage of three away goals. With just one goal, the Ligue 1 hegemon can change the situation!

The good news for Manchester City is that Kante finally returned from injury and also entered the starting lineup today.

Manchester City starts 433!

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Kompany, Aymeric Laporte, Cancelo.

Midfielder: David Silva, Kante, De Bruyne.

Forward: Mahrez, Zhao Jinge, Sterling.

Paris Saint-Germain also started 433.

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defenders: Meunier, Koscielny, Marquinhos, Kurzawa.

Midfielder: Verratti, Matuidi, Eretz.

Forwards: Di Maria, Cavani, Ronaldo.

Paris Saint-Germain has changed their striker combination. Cavani, who did not get a chance to play in the last game, serves as the center. Cristiano Ronaldo, who played well, returned to the left wing position. I don’t know that such a position change will be a big deal today. What kind of changes will you get in the game.

For Manchester City, what is more surprising is that Guardiola placed Gundo on the bench, and David Silva became a member of the starting three midfielders today.

Perhaps it was the continuous battles that made it difficult for Gundogan to maintain a high level and persist in fighting.

The game is about to start, let us wait and see, after this game, who between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain will advance to the Champions League final this season! "

The scene was filled with cheers and cheers.

After the game started, both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain took a slightly conservative stance.

I thought it was due to caution after the opening, but after ten minutes, I found that the score was behind. Paris Saint-Germain, which should have been more aggressive in attack, did use more conservative tactics today.

The forwards stayed behind the center line for a long time, actively defending and patiently seeking counterattack opportunities.

Guardiola expected that Paris Saint-Germain would be cautious at the beginning of the game and then find a way to steal a ball from Manchester City. However, he did not expect that Paris Saint-Germain would be able to endure the deficit and retract the formation to their own half. !

Faced with the opponent's conservatism, Manchester City did not dare to take it lightly. After all, the lead was not big enough, and the opponent had the ability to fight to the death. This put Manchester City into a situation where they wanted to maintain defense to maintain the score, but also wanted to score goals to expand the advantage. The dilemma!

Emery can't help it.

If the result of this game is that Paris Saint-Germain is eliminated, then he will be dismissed!

When it's a matter of life and death, it's natural to do whatever it takes! In his opinion, Manchester City, who came to the away game, would definitely not be as strong at the start of the game as they were at home.

The players of Paris Saint-Germain can take advantage of the period when Manchester City's attack is not strong at the beginning to fully stimulate the state of the game and strive to avoid the tragedy of conceding a goal at the beginning like the last round of games!

After adapting to the rhythm of the game, he waited for an opportunity to show his fangs and start a counterattack!

As long as there is one ball, as long as he can take the opportunity to steal a ball, Emery is ready to use all methods to keep the victory at the Parc des Princes!

However, after the mutual testing at the beginning of the game, Paris Saint-Germain's defense began to become a little difficult.

Because although Manchester City's overall formation appears conservative, today's Zhao Jinge was active between the center and the left and right wings from the beginning.

Moreover, among the three midfielders in Paris, except for Matuidi, the other two have almost zero ability to protect the back line in front of Zhao Jinge, and they cannot keep up with Zhao Jinge's rhythm at all!

At first, he just cooperated with his teammates in passing the ball. When his condition got better, he began to run wild in the entire frontcourt!

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Ronaldo defended David Silva head-on. The latter knocked the ball across the middle. De Bruyne followed up and kicked the ball out to the right.

Zhao Jinge stopped the ball slowly while running forward from the wing. As soon as Kurzava got close, Zhao Jinge suddenly accelerated and vigorously passed the ball around the outside line to break through. E Qianer quickly returned to defend in front of the baseline.

Zhao Jinge spiked the ball and changed direction, stepped on the bicycle with his left foot, and reversed the line with his right foot to complete the breakthrough again, leaving E Qianer directly behind!

Marquinhos formed a zone defense with Matuidi who was recovering in the penalty area, his expression slightly nervous.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Jinge did not force himself to break through, and decisively passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle. Mahrez arrived in time after cutting inside, and directly kicked the ball towards the goal.

The football flew towards the far corner of the goal, and Lloris made a flying save to save the ball.

The angle is not tricky, and the save is not difficult. It is just a relatively conventional attack routine, which is considered a false alarm.

The Paris Saint-Germain generals reminded each other, and at the same time they all looked at Kurzawa a few more times. The meaning was clear, don't give it away! One-on-one with Zhao Jinge, brother, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet!

Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack is relatively simple. As long as Manchester City does not give them a wide space, when pursuing counterattack speed, Paris Saint-Germain's frontcourt is more about individual combat and a small amount of cooperation between strikers!

It seems that the threat is limited, but they all know that a team that counterattacks cannot succeed every time it counterattacks. Even if there is no threat, as long as it succeeds once, it may be a goal.

In the 17th minute of the game, Zhao Jinge once again changed his position to the wing and dribbled with his head in his hand. Faced with the joint defense of Kurzawa and Erlanger, Zhao Jinge quickly reached the wall with Sterling, who took the initiative to respond, and then reached the bottom line of Paris again.

As soon as he adjusted his direction, he saw Koscielny retreating towards the center of the penalty area, because Sterling turned around to outflank the goal.

However, Zhao Jinge made a precise pass and sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area. After running up, De Bruyne stopped the ball and directly sent a diagonal ball to the ground without adjusting.

Mahrez cut in from the left and entered the penalty area without stopping to kick the ball and hit the goal! However, the force was a little too strong, and the football flew over the crossbar in an instant.

Mahrez lowered his head and cursed a few hometown slangs with some remorse, but Guardiola clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the team's morale.

The offensive after the opening was clean and tidy. The players who came in after the midfield did not stick to the ball in the dangerous area of ​​the front court. They did it like a one-shot deal. It is good to win, but if not, they quickly retreated and strengthened their defense to avoid being caught. Paris Saint-Germain threatens with a counterattack.

Similar to Paris Saint-Germain's desire to play defense and steal one, Manchester City also wanted to try as many chances as possible to see if they could expand their lead.

In the 21st minute of the game, Ronaldo returned to the deep midfield area.

At this moment, Ronaldo teamed up with E Xianger and Matuidi to attack Zhao Jinge.

Zhao Jinge attacks and Ronaldo defends.

Under tight siege, Zhao Jinge used a clever heel shot!

The football rolled through the gap between Ronaldo and Ecaster. After the ball was released, Zhao Jinge quickly ran towards the front and right of the penalty area. At the same time, Mahrez also adjusted the direction of his running.

De Bruyne came up and sent a through ball.

Zhao Jinge made a pass in front of the penalty area, knocked the ball behind him with the inside of his right foot, then turned around and bypassed Marquinhos' defense from the outside, and rushed directly into the right rib area of ​​the Paris penalty area.

All the fans in the audience were amazed, and the Manchester City fans were extremely excited. Zhao Jinge was in great form today!

Although the second round of the game was played at the Parc des Princes, which was a slight advantage for Paris, Zhao Jinge, who had recharged his energy today, took the away game as his home court!

Zhao Jinge spent the past few days taking a relaxing rest to restore his condition, preparing for seven days, just to give his best today.

Marquinhos turned around to block the inside line. He could no longer block Zhao Jinge's shot, but his efforts prevented Zhao Jinge from sending a wonderful pass and did not give Mahrez a chance to respond.

Before Zhao Jinge fired the ball, he only looked at the situation in front of him and then kicked the ball towards the goal.

The passing line is not safe, and it has reached this position, so it is natural to take a kick!

He hit the football at the top of the near corner of the goal, but Lloris blocked it with one palm after taking off, and the football refracted and bounced out of the baseline.

French goalkeeper Lloris looked extremely serious.

In the last matchup, Paris Saint-Germain had been penetrated by Manchester City four times. Last season, when Tottenham played against the French national team, he also failed in front of Zhao Jinge many times.

That is definitely a memory that is unbearable to look back on, and it is also a nightmare that Loris has always wanted to redeem!

The quality of Zhao Jinge's shooting has always been very high. Lloris, who has a deep memory, can compare and conclude that Zhao Jinge has become stronger than when they played against each other last season.

It's no surprise that his scoring efficiency this season is terrifying.

Manchester City fans applauded Zhao Jinge. In theory, Paris Saint-Germain can be eliminated with a clean sheet or one goal. Judging from Zhao Jinge's state today, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through the Paris Saint-Germain goal.

For all Blue Moon fans, this is certainly more comfortable than waiting on tenterhooks for the end of the game and looking forward to a boring game of zero to zero!

Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack after the start of the game still revolved around Ronaldo.

Against the odds, the more opportunities are created for Ronaldo, the less effective they are. Manchester City's targeted defensive deployment is effective.

In the 29th minute of the game, when Verratti made a direct pass from the backcourt and found Cavani who was connecting in the middle of the frontcourt, the latter still passed the ball to Ronaldo's feet.

At this time, Ronaldo, who had just cut inside, was flanked by David Silva and Kante. If he moved forward, he would encounter Kompany.

So he decisively pulled the ball back, and Kante quickly attacked. He had just returned from injury today and gained Guardiola's full trust. As he started in such an important game, he naturally had to go all out.

But he didn't seem to think clearly whether he could intercept Ronaldo's ball when he was not in his best condition.

When the opponent came in front of him, Ronaldo quickly passed the ball diagonally behind Kanter.

Cavani stepped forward to receive the ball, and then hit the ball diagonally back.

Kanter saw Ronaldo running towards the front and right of the penalty area. Just as he was about to form a zone defense with De Bruyne, Ronaldo sent a through ball.

Di Maria quickly reversed the offside and cut inside, reaching the right rib of Manchester City's penalty area. Ronaldo's pass was accurately delivered.

Di Maria stopped the ball and kicked back to dodge Laporte. Kompany was distracted by marking the forward Cavani and was unable to cover the defense.

In the penalty area of ​​Manchester City, Di Maria made a cross-cut adjustment and then shot hard. The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal with a strong left foot!

Even Joe Hart, who had been alert in advance, was powerless to do anything about the ball.

Di Maria, who scored with his first shot at the opening, was like an unexpected weapon for Paris Saint-Germain and dealt a heavy blow to Manchester City!

The Manchester City fans who came with the team were stunned and seemed to have no reaction.

"GOAL!!!!!"

"The angel from Argentina shined at the Parc des Princes. Angel Di Maria burst into the penalty area and scored! Paris Saint-Germain won the first victory with a counterattack!"

“Cronaldo assisted and Di Maria scored. I’m afraid no one expected that Di Maria, who was unknown in the first half, would suddenly have such a crucial performance!

Manchester City are in a bad situation now and they need to score at least one goal.

The total score was Paris Saint-Germain's draw with Manchester City 4-4, and they took the lead again on away goals! "

When Ronaldo was the first to rush to celebrate the goal with Di Maria, everyone could feel that the president just wanted to win today!

In terms of personal data of Champions League goals, it is certain that Zhao Jinge cannot beat Zhao Jinge.

Naturally, a team victory is needed to win the pinnacle battle between superstars!
