After watching the slow-motion replay, Zhan Jun said: "Otamendi, who was on the sideline of the penalty area, also had a certain responsibility for Manchester City's loss of the ball."
"Look where he was when Tierney passed the ball. He did not appear on Tierney's passing line, but stood on the right side. Otherwise, with his height and jumping, he could have directly taken off to clear the ball.
You can't get to Kolarov."
Zhang Lu nodded in agreement and said: "Man City's defense problem has always been there, but it has been covered up by their dazzling ten-game winning streak, but today it was completely exposed. Two goals were missed."
It was caused by a huge mistake in the defense."
"In fact, in a sense, Kolarov is very similar to Manchester United's Blind. Guardiola also wants to use his ability to connect the defense and organize the ball."
"After all, if you send Otamendi, a attacking central defender, you should equip him with a ball-playing central defender to match him."
"But the problem is that Kolarov is now slow and not good at one-on-one defense. If you look at all his defenses from the new season to now, many of them rely on additional actions or even fouls to organize the opponent."
"Yes, this also explains why Guardiola spent a lot of money to recruit Stones, a ball-playing central defender."
"Even if Stones lacks a tough temperament and is not experienced enough, Stones is actually much better than Kolarov as a guest player in the position of center back." Zhan Jun also said it.
.
On the field, the game will soon start again.
As time goes by, it can be seen that the two sides did not make too many tactical adjustments during the halftime break.
Manchester City maintained the tactical strategy of the first half.
On the Celtic side, Rogers strengthened the offensive on the two wings, allowing the Celtic players to take the initiative to break through on the wings or directly cross the ball when the center could not penetrate. What they were playing was Manchester City's high-altitude ball.
disadvantages.
But after scoring the third goal, the game did not go as Rogers expected. Instead, Manchester City, who was a bit impatient, continued to attack, threatening the Celtics' goal.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Sterling suddenly returned the ball from the right side of the penalty area.
Chu Zheng reached the top of the arc with his right rib and followed up with his left foot to hit the goal again with a heavy shot.
Unfortunately, Chu Zheng did not completely press the ball, causing it to go slightly over the crossbar.
In the 57th minute of the game, Chu Zheng made continuous breakthroughs in the left rib area at the top of the arc, and three Celtic players were passed in a row.
Seeing that Chu Zheng was about to suddenly enter the left side of the penalty area, Scott Brown directly knocked Chu Zheng down, received a yellow card and let Manchester City take a well-positioned free kick.
Unfortunately, David Silva's low shot was saved by Craig Gordon.
In the 61st minute of the game, Nolito received a pass from David Silva from the wing and passed directly to the back post.
It's a pity that Aguero's shot today was always a bit off. He turned his head and missed the goal kick again.
On the sidelines, Rogers soon discovered that Manchester City started attacking because their pressing intensity had decreased, which led to Manchester City's ball rotation becoming smoother.
So Rogers quickly made substitution adjustments to replenish the team's physical strength so that he could continue to maintain the intensity of the pressing.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Rogers replaced Rogic with Scottish midfielder Armstrong, which was a counter substitution.
After the energetic Armstrong came on the field, the Celtics' pressing intensity in the middle quickly increased, causing Manchester City's ground conduction to become stagnant again, and the offense also dropped slightly.
The Celtics took advantage of the situation and pressed the Manchester City players like crazy. Through three lines of interceptions, they quickly launched a wave of offensive climax.
In the 69th minute of the game, Tierney once again broke through from the wing and made a pass.
In the middle, Moussa Dembele won the challenge and headed the ball backwards.
Forest followed up with a close-range volley, and the ball hit the crossbar with a clang and bounced out of the baseline.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Sinclair made a strong breakthrough from the left.
Before reaching the bottom line, I was blocked front and back.
Forced into desperation, Sinclair took the risk and passed back in an inverted triangle.
Kolarov accidentally let Sinclair crotch him again.
The ball rolls back to the front edge of the arc top area.
Armstrong followed up from the center and shot the ball furiously.
The ball went straight to the goal along the somewhat empty center of Manchester City's penalty area.
But Armstrong didn't suppress the ball and blasted the ball directly into the stands.
These two Celtic attacks instantly woke up Guardiola.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Guardiola finally made substitutions.
Stones replaces Clichy.
Suddenly, Alexander Kolarov was relieved in this game, and he returned to his most familiar position of left back.
Guardiola's substitution also achieved results quickly. Manchester City's defense is obviously much more stable than before the substitution adjustment.
However, as time passed, when the game entered the 80th minute, Manchester City's equalizing goal still failed to come.
Suddenly, the Manchester City fans were secretly anxious.
As for the Celtic fans, seeing that there were only more than ten minutes left before the end of the game, they sang loudly in the stands, using huge applause and loud singing to cheer for the Celtic players on the field.
But Celtic quickly shut up and were severely beaten by Manchester City for the third time.
When the game passed 85 minutes, the crazy Celtics were a little bit unable to grab the ball, and players suffered from physical problems of varying degrees one after another.
On Manchester City's side, the pace of the game was under Chu Zheng's control. Although he was also very tired, he still had some energy left and could rush and rush.
In the 87th minute of the game, Manchester City controlled the ball in the backcourt.
Stones passed a cross from the left rib of the backcourt to Otamendi at the top of the arc.
Otamendi quickly moved forward after receiving the ball.
Running diagonally to the center line of the right rib of the center circle, Otamendi directly passed the ball with a long kick.
Unfortunately, the ball hit the top of the arc and Kolo Toure took the lead to clear the ball with a header.
Immediately, Manchester City immediately launched a high-position press.
Aguero went straight to Svichenko who picked up the ball on the right side of the penalty area.
Seeing Aguero chasing after him, Svichenko quickly turned around and kicked the ball forward to clear the ball.
From the 35-meter wide area on the left side of the Celtics, Zabaleta stepped in in time, got the ball before Sinclair, and pushed the ball directly to the upper corner of the penalty area.
Sterling quickly moved laterally, extended his foot to intercept the ball, and slowly dribbled the ball toward the top of the arc.
At this time, Chu Zheng was standing in the corner of the penalty area on his right.
Aguero in front of Chu Zheng was walking horizontally along the end line of the penalty area.
The three of them were surrounded by four Celtic players, so they did not have a numerical advantage.
At this moment, when Sterling grabbed Neil Beaton, he also hit him in the crotch, and the ball was stabbed towards Aguero.
The ball is very fast!
Aguero quickly turned back to block the ball, then pushed it with his right foot to Chu Zheng, who was close to him and facing him, and then quickly moved forward.
Chu Zheng didn't stop the ball at all, without any hesitation, he just kicked the ball through.
The ball rolled past Svichenko's feet on Chu Zheng's left front.
Although Chu Zheng's shot was risky, it was successful at least.
The next second, outside the upper right corner of the small penalty area, Aguero pushed his right foot directly into the far corner of the goal.
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seeing the equalizing goal, the Manchester City fans in the stands suddenly cheered and jumped wildly!
The other Celtic fans in the stands were all holding their heads, unable to believe that their team would concede a goal at a time when the game was about to end.
Leading three times and being tied by Manchester City three times!
It’s that No. 10 again!
Now Celtic fans really know why Chu Zheng is worth 100 million pounds!
Guardiola also jumped up on the sidelines.
When the game reached this point, he no longer expected to win, as long as he got one point.
“A very nice little triangle pass!!!!”
"You have to rely on Chu Zheng. This pass through the gap is really beautiful. It is impartial and goes straight to Aguero!!"
"This is Manchester City's rare frontcourt cooperation today..."
"This is also Chu Zheng's first Champions League assist in his career!"
This is also the last goal of the game.
Not long after, the referee Rizzoli blew the whistle to end the game.
