Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Gao Yi excitedly explained in the live broadcast room: "Li Lei is in excellent condition today! He has a wide range of activities in the midfield and constantly creates opportunities for his teammates."

"Whether Manchester City can take the lead, Li Lei's performance will play a key role!"

The audience also discussed enthusiastically in the live broadcast room.

"Li Lei is great! He is simply the midfield engine of Manchester City!"

"If Li Lei can score a goal, it would be perfect!"

As if everyone's voice was heard, in the 25th minute, Li Lei received a wonderful assist from De Bruyne, he stabilized the ball, shot calmly, and the ball went into the net! Manchester City leads Tottenham 1:0!

"It's in! It's Li Lei! Li Lei broke the deadlock for Manchester City, this goal is too crucial!" Gao Yi shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room.

"This goal fully demonstrates Li Lei's value, and he once again proved that he is an indispensable member of Manchester City!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was also boiling.

"Li Lei is amazing! This goal is so beautiful!"

"Li Lei is Manchester City's lucky star. With him, Manchester City will not lose!"

At this moment, Li Lei excitedly ran to the corner flagpole and slid down to celebrate excitedly.

At this time, in the Sky Sports live broadcast room, our old friends, the hosts Keane and Jones, were also commenting on the live broadcast of this game.

"Wow, what a wonderful game! Manchester City and Tottenham, the two Premier League powerhouses, are a visual feast! And Li Lei, this magical player from the East, his performance today is simply amazing!" Keane said with praise.

"That's right, Keane, Li Lei's performance today is perfect! He has a wide range of activities in the midfield and constantly creates opportunities for his teammates."

"The goal that assisted De Bruyne was simply seamless! Li Lei's vision and passing ability are really amazing!" Jones, the guest commentator next to him, said in agreement.

"Speaking of Li Lei, we have to mention Guardiola's recent arrangement for him."

"In the previous few games, Li Lei's playing time has obviously decreased, which has aroused many people's doubts."

"But look at today, Guardiola let Li Lei start again, this decision is simply wise!"

"Guardiola is really a resourceful coach."

"His arrangement for Li Lei seems a bit puzzling, but in fact, he is inspiring Li Lei's fighting spirit and making him work harder in the game."

"And today, Li Lei perfectly responded to Guardiola's trust with his performance!"

"Li Lei's goal is not just a goal, but also a powerful declaration! He proved his irreplaceableness in Manchester City with practical actions."

"He is the soul of Manchester City's forward line and the link between the team's offense and defense!"

"Manchester City can have such a performance today, Li Lei has made an indelible contribution."

"His joining has brought Manchester City Injected with new vitality, his skills, vision, and decision-making ability are all valuable assets for Manchester City's midfield. "

"With Li Lei, Manchester City's performance in the new season will definitely be improved!"

"You are right, Jones. "

"Li Lei is Manchester City's lucky star. With him, Manchester City has one more magic weapon to win. "

"I believe that under Guardiola's training, Li Lei will definitely become a world-class midfield master and create more glory for Manchester City and Chinese football!"

"This game is so wonderful! Manchester City and Tottenham presented a visual feast, and Li Lei is undoubtedly the brightest star in this feast!"

"I can't wait to see how he will perform in the next game!"

"I agree, Jones! Manchester City and Li Lei, their wonderful performances are always worth our expectations! Let us witness the miracles they create in the new season together!"

As the game continued, Li Lei's performance became more and more active. He constantly created threats in the midfield, using his flexible running and accurate passing to tear open Tottenham's defense again and again.

Tottenham's players seemed a little overwhelmed. They tried to stop Li Lei by committing fouls, but this only made their situation more passive.

First, Eric Lamela, who recklessly tackled Li Lei when trying to intercept him, was shown a yellow card by the referee without hesitation.

This is not over yet. Just a few minutes later, Eric Dier also took rough actions when defending Li Lei and was also warned with a yellow card by the referee.

Tottenham's two yellow cards are both a recognition of Li Lei's outstanding performance and a reflection of their helplessness and fear of Li Lei.

Li Lei is like a spinning top, dancing wantonly on the green field, turning Tottenham's defense upside down.

During the halftime break,The score was still 1:0, with Manchester City leading.

The head coaches of both teams were busy deploying the tactics for the second half on the sidelines.

Pochettino looked serious. He realized that Li Lei was the core of Manchester City's offense and he had to find a way to limit his performance.

He asked the players to strengthen the midfield defense, especially to keep a close eye on Li Lei and not let him have too much free space.

Guardiola seemed more relaxed.

He was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, especially Li Lei's outstanding performance, which made him very pleased.

But he also reminded the players not to take it lightly, to continue to stay focused and strive to expand the score advantage in the second half.

Surprisingly, Li Lei did not appear on the court after the halftime break.

It turned out that Guardiola made an unexpected decision when the team was leading - he replaced Li Lei with Dzeko.

This decision caused some discussion on the scene.

After all, Li Lei performed so well in the first half, why was he substituted now? But Guardiola obviously has his own considerations.

Maybe he wants to protect Li Lei and prevent him from being fouled by Tottenham players.

Or maybe he wants to change the team's offensive rhythm through substitutions and create more trouble for Tottenham.

Who knows!

Facing Li Lei being substituted, this is something Gao Yi cannot understand.

He expressed his confusion about Li Lei being substituted in the live broadcast room: "It's really hard to understand! Li Lei performed so well in the first half."

"He made great contributions to Manchester City's lead, why was he substituted now? Guardiola's decision is really puzzling!"

He continued to analyze: "Li Lei's range of activities on the field is very large. He constantly creates threats and creates huge troubles for Tottenham's defense."

"His presence makes Manchester City's offense more smooth and changeable."

"Now that he is substituted, this will undoubtedly affect Manchester City's offensive rhythm!"

Gao Yi also mentioned: "I can understand that Guardiola may want to protect Li Lei and prevent him from being fouled more."

"But, in my opinion, Li Lei is in good shape and can continue to play."

"This substitution decision seems a bit too conservative."
