Manchester City played 1:1 away in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Advancing to the semi-finals is an advantage.

However, Fleet Street has comments on Manchester City as much as last year: Guardiola is nervous again!

Even the spectators found it incredible and couldn't figure out where Guardiola's UEFA Champions League knockout anxiety came from.

Is it really that the memory of being defeated when leading Bayern Munich was too painful?

The league is so stable, I don’t know why Guardiola suddenly felt his confidence.

Since losing to Newcastle United in January, Manchester City has won consecutive victories in various competitions, but the Champions League away game to Tottenham was ended. Manchester City's conservatism and prudence are naturally derived from coach Guardiola's arrangement.

If it weren't for Tang Hong's last moment, Manchester City's road to defending the title would be full of dangers and bumps!

Even when Tang Hong and De Bruyne chatted during their spare time in training, they would discuss whether Guardiola was putting too much pressure on him.

Generally speaking, a team has a purpose: a successful team will not change!

Since it is successful, why change?

Keep improving?

What about the risk of failure?

Guardiola gave a negative lesson to all the coaches in the world.

Originally, they were at ease, but they had to take the initiative to change. The team did not play the style of the usual league in the Champions League. The result was that Manchester City players were awkward on the court, which gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

After the terrifying battle in White Deer Lane, Guardiola naturally did not dare to act rashly.

It seems that seeking stability is a dead end.

It’s better to fight as you should.

Continue to win consecutive victories in the league and successfully advanced to the finals of the FA Cup.

When the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals arrived, a shocking battle took place at the Etihad Stadium!

Tottenham's defensive counterattack is indeed very effective against Manchester City. Pochettino coached Tottenham for many years has brought this team to the current peak level of his personal ability.

Son Heung-min made achievements, and Tang Hong was no less apart. He took the team's forward line and chased Tottenham!

The process of scoring the ball between the plum blossoms and the bamboo is ups and downs.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 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 to score this goal.

The Champions League top scorer is not only stable, but he has also become the third in the Champions League history scorer list.

At this speed, he was able to become the first in the Champions League total goals before he was 30 years old!

Manchester City entered the semi-finals without any danger. While complimenting Manchester City's performance, Fleet Street did not forget to remind Guardiola: Don't play tricks!

It is difficult for a team that is proactive in ensuring that the defense line is completely blocked.

If you want to score one more goal than your opponent and also want to score a zero goal, how can this be a good thing?

Unless it is a world-class player in Manchester City, it is understandable to pursue it.

But obviously Manchester City is not.

Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League semi-finals is Ajax, and it seems that he will definitely win the final this year.

Barcelona and Liverpool are fighting each other.

Manchester City continued to win consecutive victories in the league. In the second half of the league, except for the massacre of Chelsea, all other games were small wins.

It was quite a bit of a murderous heart to defeat Tottenham 1-0 at home.

When the Manchester derby was on the away game, the coach of the Red Devils Manchester United had changed from Mourinho to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Manchester City won Manchester United 3-0 without any blood on the road.

Liverpool is completely desperate!

There are 3 rounds left in the league, and they are 3 points behind to Manchester City, but the opponents who can snipe Manchester City in the final stage of the season have all suffered diarrhea!

The opponents behind, Burnley, Leicester City, and Brighton, cannot be sniped at Manchester City no matter how you look at it.

As long as Manchester City scores 7 points in the next three league rounds, Manchester City will declare their title successful.

At the end of April, Manchester City defeated Burnley with one goal away and continued to lead the standings with a 3-point advantage.

Entering May, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals has arrived, and Manchester City will challenge Ajax as a guest.

This season, Ajax suddenly broke out in the Champions League, defeating Real Madrid first in the knockout round, and then destroying Juventus. Now he has met Manchester City, and people are looking forward to the youth team continuing to perform miracles.

Ajax announced his strong return after more than 10 years of silence in Dutch football.

When playing against Manchester City at home, Ajax showed their advantages of fast passes and cutting in the offense, delicate attacking group footwork, and good at long-range shooting.

If you look at Ajax's performance in key battles this season, they always scored with almost no solution.

Manchester City also suffered from Ajax's long-range shot. When Ajax took the lead in scoring from Ziyech's long-range shot from the right in front of the penalty area, people seemed to see the 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 Blinder and De Rigt and the quick support of his surrounding teammates, Manchester City's front-field pass and cut cooperation was greatly hindered.

However, since the opponent's long-range shot was so good, Tang Hong had the urge to compete.

Since you can't score in the penalty area, you can't create a good opportunity.

Then fire the fire on the periphery!

He frequently shoots long shots on the perimeter, and as long as he is within the goal range, he will inevitably go to the dead corner of the goal!

When Tang Hong hit the goal range with his third shot before the end of the first half, the end of the rainbow was Ajax's goal in the upper left corner!

Ajax goalkeeper Onana was in tears and threw two long shots in the upper right corner in a row. Why didn't he follow the routine?

I won’t remind you if I change to the closest corner!

1:1.

After the second half of the game began, Manchester City continued to strengthen the threat of long-range shots on the outside.

Doesn’t Ajax like to play fairy balls?

Tang Hong and De Bruyne took turns kicking, making their heads buzz!

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 straight pass from David Silva in the penalty area, and then passed the ball to the middle of the goal. Jesus followed up and pushed the ball into the goal.

Manchester City leads Ajax 2:1 away.

Ajax was forced to strengthen the offensive. In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester City quickly attacked. The frontcourt passed and cut like a mercury in the ground and easily broke through their defense line. Sterling scored a single goal!

Manchester City 3:1 Ajax away!

The miracle has almost disappeared.

Fleet Street praised Manchester City's performance.

That's right.

Regardless of who the opponent is, Manchester City will just play at its own pace.

Guardiola should not play tricks, just relax and leave the rest to the players!

Back to the league, Manchester City beat Leicester City 1:0 at home!

Liverpool gritted their teeth and chased after the last moment, and is still behind and gives Manchester City three points.

Manchester City scored 97 points and Liverpool scored 94 points.

In theory, Liverpool no longer has the chance to win the championship, unless Manchester City loses a crushing defeat in the league, Liverpool wins a lot, and Liverpool ties the points while also surpassing the goal difference disadvantage.

But this probability is obviously slim and can be said to exist only in theory.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Ajax came to Etihad Stadium with a will to burn his boats.

Manchester City played cleanly and neatly at home without dragging the ground. Guardiola gave up the idea of ​​trying to use pass control to consume the opponent.

In fact, he led Ajax 3:1 away in the first leg. As long as he ensured that he would not concede three goals at home, Manchester City would definitely advance to the Champions League final.

So there is no need to be too persistent in using any method of playing.

Naturally, you can relax a lot in your mindset.

As the Ajax soldiers approached the brink of efforts to create opportunities, Sterling flew up in the frontcourt.

Flying with one sword, flying with an empty door!

Happy football is online from time to time, which really makes Manchester City fans in the stands so angry that they vomit blood.

If Tang Hong hadn't been restricted by his opponent's key points, Sterling would have been able to have a good chance. If Tang Hong had charged in the front line, he would have sent Ajax back to his hometown long ago.

Ajax recovered a goal in the first half, and Van Denbeck's supplementary shot in the penalty area contributed to the team.

The opportunity still comes after long shots, making Ederson saves.
To be continued...
