Etihad Stadium.

As always, it was packed with people.

The Champions League semi-finals, a height that Manchester City has never reached.

The fans cheered for this.

Fresh, exciting, and thrilling.

The blue belonging to Manchester City floated over the Etihad.

The fans were singing Manchester City's "Blue Moon" loudly.

Dreams came true, the Champions League semi-finals.

No matter how glorious Manchester United was in the past, no matter how many Premier League titles and Champions League titles Manchester United has won.

But today's Manchester must belong to blue.

City Blue!

The duel between Real Madrid and Manchester City attracted a large number of fans from all over the world to stop and watch.

Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt configuration is much worse than Real Madrid.

And on the defensive line, the fame and strength of the players on both sides are also visible to the naked eye.

The only good thing for Manchester City is that Real Madrid's away record this season is very erratic.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

But in the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid will definitely pursue stability and will not be as careless as before.

Players from both sides stood in the player tunnel.

In Europe now, La Liga is undoubtedly the first league, and the Premier League is in a semi-depressed state.

As a Spanish Super League team above La Liga, Real Madrid's players are all worth a lot of money.

Now these world-class stars are standing next to Zhao Yi.

But Zhao Yi was not nervous.

Because he firmly believed that if these Real Madrid players were shining stars, he would be the dazzling sun!

Zhao Yi took the initiative to greet Ronaldo.

The two belonged to Nike and had cooperated several times before.

And at the Golden Globe Awards, with the help of Ronaldo, Zhao Yi had a lot more shots.

Ronaldo's character is full of pride and paranoia.

But he had a good impression of Zhao Yi.

Mainly because Zhao Yi, a talented young man, was very low-key in front of him.

He also praised him, calling him the strongest striker, the most outstanding attacker in history, and even said that he would lead Portugal to win the European Cup and that he would be the hottest player for the Ballon d'Or next year.

This set of small tricks made Ronaldo very happy.

When the players of both sides walked out of the tunnel, the cheers at the Etihad Stadium reached another climax.

The Champions League semi-finals finally began.

"Come on Manchester City!!!"

"Come on Blue Moon!!!"

"The Premier League belongs to blue, the Champions League belongs to blue!!!"

"Zhao!! Come on!!! Goal, goal!!!!"

Manchester City fans shouted excitedly, and the few Real Madrid fans were also shouting, but they were completely drowned out.

This is the case when playing away, and they will definitely lose in terms of momentum.

At the same time, commentators from all over the world began their work.

Before this game, these people had analyzed the recent situation of both sides.

Manchester City has won consecutive games and is in perfect condition.

Although the lineup is inferior to Real Madrid, the state is still very useful in the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Therefore, many people are optimistic that Manchester City can remain unbeaten at home.

"Zidane still arranged a 433 formation.

After a season of running-in, this lineup has become perfect.

The trident in the front court is fierce and well-coordinated.

In the entire football world, perhaps only Barcelona's MSN combination can match it.

C Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale!

C Ronaldo, together with Messi, has created the most glorious time in football.

The greatness of the two needs no further explanation.

Benzema is definitely a world-class center forward, willing to be a green leaf in Real Madrid and works diligently.

Bale should be the fastest winger in football today. His most well-known and most shocking scene is overtaking from the outside and forcing defenders.

In today's football world, there may not be a full-back who can fully use speed to defend him.

Ronaldo and Bale are two super wingers. Once they rush, Manchester City's defenders may face very great pressure.

Behind them are the three midfielders of the ceremony, Modric, Casemiro, and Kroos! "

Even if the ceremony midfielder is well-known, it is definitely a terrifying existence with strength greater than fame.

Modric is a true passer-shooter trinity. Many people ignore his ability on the defensive end because of his offensive talent.

This Croatian superstar can move freely when advancing, as if entering the enemy's unmanned territory, and can also stare at the opponent's arrow figure when retreating, which is a real attack and defense.

Under his leadership, Croatia, a small European country, has long been at the forefront of Europe in the field of football.

Kroos, a real coach, the offensive commander of Real Madrid, sits in the midfield, with superb passing vision and technology.

With the ball at his feet, he almost never makes mistakes.

The most terrifying thing is his passing stability, passing the ball to the right route at the right time.

Casemiro in the back position is an iron wall, the king of the backcourt.

As the last barrier in the midfield, you can always trust Fat Tiger.

A true sword-wielding horse, a man standing alone.

He also has a unique skill of long-range shooting and heavy artillery attack.

An enhanced version of Fernandinho.

Even after Casemiro, who is in his thirties, joined Manchester United, he can still help the poor in the Premier League with technology and become the most reassuring link of Manchester United, not to mention the beast midfielder who is now at the peak of his career?

"The double central defender Ramos and Varane have height, speed and strength."

These two central defenders are a combination of offense and defense, with only one shortcoming.

Like to be distracted on the court.

Some weird mistakes appear inexplicably.

"Left back Marcelo, right back Carvajal."

Because Ronaldo and Bale have to retreat to defend in Zidane's tactical system, the defensive pressure on the two full-backs is reduced, allowing these two people to have more energy to go over the edge and become two sharp knives inserted into the opponent's hinterland.

For Manchester City's two-way defense, they not only have to defend against Ronaldo and Bale, but also these two full-backs with speed, breakthroughs and crosses.

The pressure is heavy.

"Goalkeeper Costa Rican goalkeeper, that wall, Navas!"

Navas is not tall, but his reaction is very sensitive, and his goal line technique is quite strong.

He is very accurate in judging the shooting route, and is good at close-range bursts and supplementary shots.

Because of his body size, he is slightly lacking in the ability to make sudden and accurate long-range shots.

"Manchester City still uses the 4231 formation, with Aguero at the front.

Zhao Yi was arranged to play on the left side in this game, and he may have a big defensive task.

After all, Manchester City faces the great Saint Bale on the left.

De Bruyne plays as the attacking midfielder, and Sterling occupies the right side.

Double defensive midfielders Fernandinho and David Silva.

Four defenders, Clichy, Kompany, Stones, and Sagna.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart.

In the attack, Silva should be inserted, and the defensive midfielder position will be replaced by Stones.

According to Guardiola in an interview, Stones got Zhao Yi's advice when he changed from central defender to defensive midfielder.

His performance in this position is really good.

Guardiola has said more than once that Zhao Yi will become a very good coach after retiring more than a decade later."

Aguero stood in the center circle and glanced at Zhao Yi, who was quite calm.

Not long ago, Zhao Yi's words in the locker room still made him excited.

Manchester City players were under a lot of pressure at the time. Kompany, as the captain, said some encouraging words, but the effect was not great.

Guardiola actually asked Zhao Yi to stand up and say a few words.

It can be seen that Zhao Yi is full of talent for scoring goals, but he doesn't seem to be good at pre-match speeches, and he seems a little nervous.

He took a few deep breaths, looked at his teammates and older brothers who were much more experienced than him, and finally did not get scared.

"I...since Wolverhampton Wanderers, I have always been the one who is not good at motivating teammates with words.

I am a practical person. I am more used to using goals on the court to tell my teammates that we can win.

This time, I don't need to say anything inspiring to encourage everyone.

Because I have won victory after victory with everyone in the Premier League and the Champions League with one goal and one assist.

This time, as always, we will win together.

Now, we go out and walk into the Etihad, and let everyone in Real Madrid know in the warmest cheers of the fans.

Tonight, at the Etihad, under the attention of fans all over the world... Real Madrid is finished."
