The Green Superstar
Chapter 530: Record maker!
Manchester City 1:1 away to Tottenham in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Promoting to the semi-finals is at an advantage.
However, Fleet Street has a comment on Manchester City from the same period last year: Guardiola is nervous again!
Even the spectators found it incredible, not sure where Guardiola's Champions League knockout anxiety came from.
Is it true that the memory of being defeated when leading Bayern Munich is too painful?
So stable in the league, I don't know why Guardiola's confidence suddenly dropped.
Since losing to Newcastle United in January, Manchester City has won a streak in all competitions all the way, but the Champions League away game with Tottenham was ended by the end of the winning streak. Manchester City's conservative and cautious nature is naturally derived from the platoon of the independent coach Guardiola. Soldier formation.
Without Tang Hong's last-minute savior, Manchester City's road to defending the title would be full of treacherous bumps!
Even Tang Hong and De Blaunet would discuss whether Guardiola was putting too much pressure on themselves when chatting after training.
Generally speaking, the team has a purpose: the successful team does not change!
Since it is successful, why change?
Keep improving?
What about the risk of failure?
Cha Cha Guardiola played negative teaching materials for all the coaches in the world.
Originally, they were comfortable, but they wanted to take the initiative to change. The team did not play the usual league style in the Champions League. As a result, the Manchester City players were awkward on the court, but they gave their opponents a chance.
After the frightening battle in White Hart Lane, Guardiola naturally did not dare to act rashly.
It seems that seeking stability is a dead end.
I still fight as I want.
The consecutive victories in the league, the FA Cup successfully advanced to the final.
When the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals arrived, the Etihad Stadium staged a terrifying battle!
Tottenham’s defensive counterattack is indeed very effective for Manchester City. Pochettino has been coaching Tottenham for many years to bring this team to the current peak of his personal ability.
Sun Xingmin made a great contribution, Tang Hong did not give up too much, and took up the team's striker to chase Tottenham!
The process of scoring between the clubs was ups and downs.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 5:3 at home and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a total score of 6:4!
Tang Hong scored twice in the game, and the number of goals in the Champions League has reached 18.
He was a little embarrassed about this goal.
The top scorer of the Champions League is not only stable, but he has also become the third highest scorer in the history of the Champions League.
At this rate, he was able to become the number one in the Champions League total goals before the age of 30!
Manchester City has reached the semi-finals without any risk. Fleet Street praised Manchester City's performance while reminding Guardiola: Don't play tricks!
It would be difficult for a proactive team to ensure that the opponent's defense is zero.
If you want to score one more goal than your opponent, but also want to close your opponent, how can this be a good thing?
Unless Manchester City is a team of world-class players, there is nothing wrong with pursuing it.
But obviously Manchester City is not.
Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League semi-finals is Ajax, and it seems that they have made it to the finals this year.
Barcelona and Liverpool fight each other.
Manchester City continued to win streak in the league. In the second half of the league, except for the slaughter of Chelsea, other games were small wins.
Defeating Tottenham 1-0 at home is quite murderous.
At the time of the away game against the Manchester derby, the Red Devils Manchester United coach had changed from Mourinho to Solskjaer.
Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3:0 in the away game.
Liverpool is completely desperate!
There are 3 rounds left in the league. They are 3 points behind to Manchester City, but the opponents who can snipe Manchester City at the final stage of the season are all dizzy!
The opponents behind, Burnley, Leicester City, Brighton, it is impossible to snipe Manchester City no matter what.
As long as Manchester City scored 7 points in the next three league rounds, then Manchester City will declare a success in defending their title.
At the end of April, Manchester City beat Burnley with an away goal and continued to lead the standings by 3 points.
Entering May, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final arrives, and Manchester City is a guest to challenge Ajax.
This season's Ajax suddenly broke out in the Champions League. In the knockout round, Real Madrid was killed before Juventus. Now they have encountered Manchester City. People are looking forward to this youth army to continue to perform miracles.
Ajax declared a strong return after more than 10 years of silence in Dutch football.
In the home game against Manchester City, Ajax showed the advantages of their quick passing and cutting cooperation, fine attacking group footwork and good long-range shooting.
If you look at the performance of Ajax in the key battles of this season, they always have nearly unsolvable long shots.
Manchester City was also threatened by Ajax's long-range shots. When Ajax took the lead from a long-range shot from the right side of Ziyech's penalty area, people seemed to have seen this dark horse appear in the Champions League final.
Manchester City has been trying to create opportunities in the penalty area, but the effect is not very good. The defensive combination of Blind and Dericht coupled with the quick support of surrounding teammates, Manchester City's frontcourt pass cooperation has been greatly blocked.
However, since the opponent shot so well from long range, Tang Hong had the urge to compete.
Since you can't get into the penalty area, you can't create a good opportunity.
Then shoot at the periphery!
He frequently shoots from the periphery, as long as he is within the goal range, he must run to the dead corner of the goal!
Before the end of the first half of the game, after Tang Hong hit the third shot within the goal range, the end of a rainbow was the upper left corner of Ajax's goal!
Ajax goalkeeper Onana wanted to cry without tears, and hit two long-range shots in the upper right corner in a row. Why the **** did not follow the routine?
Don't remind me if you change to near angle!
1:1.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City continued to strengthen the threat of long shots from the periphery.
Don't Ajax like to play fairy ball?
Tang Hong and De Bruyne took turns to make their heads hum!
After Ajax couldn't help but strengthen the sweeping in front of the penalty area, the space in the penalty area came out.
In the 70th minute of the game, Tang Hong received a through ball from David Silva in the penalty area, and then sent a pass to the center of the goal. **** followed up and pushed the ball into the goal.
Manchester City lead Ajax 2:1 away.
Ajax was forced to step up the offensive. In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester City made a fast break. The mercury passed through the frontcourt and easily penetrated their defense. Sterling scored a single goal!
Manchester City away 3:1 Ajax!
The miracle has almost disappeared.
Fleet Street praised Manchester City's performance.
That's right.
Regardless of who the opponent is, Manchester City will play at their own pace.
Guardiola don't play tricks, just relax and let the players do the rest!
Back in the league, Manchester City took home a 1-0 win over Leicester City!
Liverpool gritted their teeth to catch up to the last minute and are still 3 points behind Manchester City.
Manchester City had 97 points and Liverpool had 94 points.
In theory, Liverpool has no chance to win the championship, unless Manchester City loses in the final game of the league, Liverpool wins, and Liverpool tie the points while still surpassing the goal difference disadvantage.
But this probability is obviously very small, and it can be said that it only exists in theory.
In the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, Ajax came to the Etihad Stadium with the will to break the boat.
Manchester City played at home and played cleanly without any muddles. Guardiola gave up the idea of trying to consume dead opponents with passing control.
In fact, Ajax led Ajax 3:1 away in the first leg. As long as the home court ensures that they will not lose three goals, then Manchester City will definitely advance to the Champions League final.
So there is no need to be too obsessed with what style of play.
The mentality can naturally relax a lot.
When the Ajax soldiers tried to create opportunities, Sterling was flying in the frontcourt.
Fly single-handedly, fly empty!
From time to time, happy football is on the line, which really makes the Manchester City fans in the stands vomit blood.
Had Tang Hong not been restricted by his opponent, Sterling could indeed have a good chance. I am afraid that Tang Hong would have sent Ajax back to his hometown long ago if Tang Hong charged in the front line.
Ajax recovered a goal in the first half, and Van den Beck's supplementary shot in the penalty area contributed to the team.
The chance comes from making Edson's save after a long shot.
In the second half, Ajax stud directly and the whole army attacked.
Sterling couldn't laugh, and concentrated on creating opportunities for his teammates.
In the 59th minute of the game, Tang Hong and Jesus, De Bruyne completed a triangular pass in the fast break, and went offside into the penalty area on the left ribbed area. After adjusting the ball, he shot the ball to the right of the goal. Lower corner.
1:1.
Ajax still has to score.
If you want to eliminate Manchester City, you must score at least 3 goals away.
If they can eliminate Manchester City, then they will be able to eliminate Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium 3:0.
Some changes have taken place in the current situation. If they score 3 goals and Manchester City no longer scores, the total score will be a tie. The same goes for the two teams’ away goals and the game will enter overtime.
So Ajax attacked with all his strength.
As a result, 10 minutes later, Tang Hong contained the Ajax defense in the frontcourt. After the pass was found, David Silva inserted in. The latter sent a wonderful pass to **** after the ball came to the front of the penalty area.
Although the Brazilian striker is not very efficient on weekdays, at least he was able to seize some in a lot of opportunities. This time he smoothly pushed the ball into the goal from the penalty spot.
Manchester City 2:1 Ajax!
Completely stabilized.
Ajax needs to score three goals in 20 minutes to stage a reversal.
Manchester City substitutes to strengthen defense and control.
The game ended smoothly.
Home and away double Ajax, a total score of 5:2 eliminated opponents to advance to the Champions League final for two consecutive years.
Tang Hong's personal goals in the Champions League this season have tied the record of 20 goals he once created.
If he can score a goal in the Champions League final, he will set this record again.
At the same time, if Manchester City win the Champions League, then Tang Hong will also become the player with the most Champions League wins in history with 6 Champions League titles, tying the record of 6 times by Real Madrid player Gento in the ancient times.
The Premier League final game, Manchester City as a guest to challenge Brighton.
The trend of the game is in Manchester City's control, sweeping away opponents 4:1 to complete the league championship!
100 points!
Although Liverpool also won the final game, they ranked second in the league with 97 points.
However, the contest between the two teams this season is not over. Liverpool is another team that reached the Champions League final. They staged a shocking reversal in the semi-finals, 0:3 Barcelona in the first leg, and a 4:0 reversal at Anfield in the second leg. Eliminate Barcelona.
