"Manchester City's defense was very solid in the first half, and Otamendi and Mangala's outstanding performance repeatedly blocked Paris Saint-Germain's offense."
"We saw that Manchester City's defense was very organized, and the players showed a high level of defensive awareness and fighting spirit on the court."
"However, Manchester City's offense in the first half was very active, especially Li Lei and De Bruyne's performance was very eye-catching."
"Although they haven't scored yet, they have threatened Paris' goal many times."
"We look forward to Manchester City continuing this offensive momentum in the second half and striving to score as soon as possible."

After the first half, Manchester City's players walked back to the locker room. Although they created several threatening opportunities in offense, the score was still 0-0.
The players sat on the chairs, drank water, wiped sweat, and took a short break.
Guardiola stood in front of the tactical board and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the players.
"Hey! Young men, you can't play like the old people on the opposite side. You are still young, show your passion."
Guardiola used humor to mobilize the players' emotions at the beginning, and then he continued: "We performed well in the first half and created several good opportunities, but we need to be more efficient."
"Although Paris Saint-Germain's defense has top players such as Thiago Silva and Marquinhos, their age advantage is not on our side."
He said, and drew on the board with a tactical pen: "Thiago Silva and Maxwell, their age and physical fitness are our breakthrough points."
"Especially Maxwell, he seemed a little struggling when facing speed players."
At this time, Guardiola looked at Li Lei and said: "Li, you performed very well on the right."
"Continue to use your speed and flexibility in the second half to continuously attack Mark Swell. "
"Remember, don't give him a chance to breathe." His expression became fierce when he said this.
Then he turned to De Bruyne and David Silva: "Kevin, David, your task is to control the midfield and use fast passes and position changes to tear open their defense."
"De Bruyne, you need to move more to the right to provide support for Li Lei."
Then he pointed to Aguero and said: "Sergio, you need to run more actively, take advantage of the gap between their central defenders, and quickly turn and shoot after receiving the pass."
"Remember, their defense will appear a little flustered when facing a quick counterattack."
"We need to speed up the pace and take advantage of their weakness of declining physical strength."
"Keep high pressure and don't give them the opportunity to organize an attack calmly."
"Our goal is to break the deadlock and win this game!"
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
