The team stepped up its offense but was always interrupted by Bayern Munich's passing and controlling.
Moreover, Yaya Toure is still greedy for performance in the midfield, resulting in Manchester City's overall operation being unable to pose a team threat.
Manchester City's defense is in turmoil.
If it weren't for Bayern Munich not fully accepting Guardiola's concept of passing and controlling after he took over, it did a pretty good job in the field control phase, but the direct threat was still lacking.
Manchester City may have been outplayed at home long ago.
Manchester City fans looked ugly.
With 4 wins and 2 draws in the Premier League, Manchester City could still be praised for their strong performance, but in the Champions League, they were beaten like a younger brother by Bayern Munich!
Sporadic threats cannot pose a threat to Neuer at all.
At the end of the half, Manchester City trailed Bayern Munich 0:1.
Back in the locker room, Pellegrini was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.
But I dare not criticize Yaya Toure by name.
Therefore, this half-time speech has almost no effect.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Manchester City consciously focus on playing out wide.
But after a wave of offense failed to threaten, Bayern Munich began to play pass and control again.
The process of repeatedly falling down is really frustrating.
Yaya Toure took the initiative to press, but failed to steal the ball and lost his position.
This caused Manchester City's defense to be in a hurry.
Kroos delivered a threatening direct pass, Ribery cut inside, and then found Muller with a through ball, who half-turned and volleyed the ball into the far corner of the goal.
Manchester City fans were almost in a state of collapse.
When Ribery went to chase Muller, he turned back and looked at Hao Qiang on the field, the provocation in his eyes obvious.
Hao Qiang ignored his grudge at the UEFA annual awards ceremony, but he still remembered it!
Bayern Munich leads by two goals.
Manchester City is obviously starting to get a little messy.
The offense began to play long passes, and there was no structure at all.
It doesn't matter how you play in the Premier League. The strength of their team, in fact, as long as the players can appear in the frontcourt, they can show off their feet.
But when it comes to the Champions League, facing Bayern Munich, the competition will not only be about the players' personal abilities, but also a test of their overall technical and tactical abilities.
In the 66th minute, Manchester City was eager to equalize the score, but the overall coordination was a mess.
In the chaotic midfield confrontation, Bayern Munich stole the ball from Yaya Toure, and Kroos' backhand was passed diagonally to the ground.
Timely and accurate!
Robben led the ball from the right side of the frontcourt and then rushed inside.
Fernandinho, who was in a panic, rushed forward, but Robben redirected the ball and passed him as soon as he met him.
Nastasic didn't dare to attack again, Muller was advancing!
Robben cut inside to the top edge of the penalty area, and Golden hit a rub shot with his left foot.
The football drew a pleasing arc and fell into the upper left corner of the goal!
Joe Hart became the backdrop.
Bayern Munich 3:0 Manchester City!
Manchester City fans are not only disappointed, but also angry!
"If we invest 200 million euros in the summer, what will be the results?"
"I haven't seen Hao Qiang's performance in tough games, except against Manchester United."
"Pellegrini coached the team and coached a lonely person?!"
Pellegrini was also ashamed on the sidelines.
Manchester City is like a helpless child in front of Bayern Munich!
Guardiola walked back to the coaching bench with a relaxed expression and sat down.
Very satisfied with the team's performance.
Aguero looked anxious, but Hao Qiang looked calm.
"what to do?"
Aguero asked Hao Qiang.
Hao Qiang pointed at Yaya Toure and said, "You should ask him, not me."
The helpless thing about being a forward is that most opportunities on the court come from the creation of midfielders and full-backs.
If the midfielders and full-backs don't feed them, what will they play?
Kick the air?
Or run back to the backcourt and dribble the ball to pass all 11 people on the opposite side?
He created a transfer worth of 150 million euros.
But that doesn't mean he can finish the ball alone.
To put it bluntly, the national football team is so bad, but if everyone puts their efforts in one place, Hao Qiang can still perform a little bit.
But the Manchester City team.
He doesn't know what he was like before he came.
Anyway, 11 people on the field can have 12 minds.
Yaya Toure would be fine if he were a full-back or defender.
But he happened to be the core organizer in the middle of the 442 midfield today.
Originally, facing an opponent like Bayern Munich, he would just pass the ball to the wing and be done with it.
He had to make his own waves, not only dribbling, but also reaching forward to respond.
Nasri is still of the same mind as him.
The two centers were completely ignored.
Well now, three goals behind.
Ask for a hammer and get a hammer.
Pellegrini had no choice but to become a living doctor.
David Silva and Xavi Garcia, who had just recovered from injury, came on as substitutes.
Replaced Yaya Toure and Nasri.
Manchester City changes 433.
Bayern Munich doesn't care.
David Silva needs some time to get into the rhythm and state of the game after coming on the court.
Bayern Munich obviously started to slow down and control the rhythm.
Manchester City gradually stabilized the midfield.
But when attacking forward, Hao Qiang was restricted in the middle and had no room to play.
As the game approached 75 minutes, Hao Qiang closed his eyes and entered the system.
Only now can you collect the points rewards for winning the championship last season and starting this season.
Three waves of ten draws in a row.
Stavelet, Nishidaguti, Klinsmann, Suarez.
Among these four people, he only knows Klinsmann.
Even when Suarez looked at it, he was wearing a Spanish jersey, and it was obviously not the Suarez of Uruguay.
Hao Qiang was a little depressed. The legendary cards were a bit of a test of his knowledge reserves.
He used Klinsmann and then switched positions with Aguero.
Let Aguero play center forward.
He went to the wing.
At least he can respond better on the wing.
Whether it is the opposing full-back Rafinha or the closer midfielder Lahm, as long as he is allowed to control the ball comfortably, he will still have the confidence to escape and break through.
Bayern Munich makes a substitution.
Robben and Bastian Schweinsteiger exited.
Shaqiri and Gotze appear.
It seems that the game has already entered garbage time.
There were also very few Manchester City fans who chose to leave the game early.
In the 80th minute of the game, Hao Qiang received a pass from Xavi Garcia from the left.
He touched the ball and cut inside. Rafinha forced the ball and saved the ball. When Lahm came to intercept, Hao Qiang spiked the ball and changed his direction to block the opponent and fend off Lahm.
The two of them are not at the same level in terms of strength confrontation!
Dante had to move in front of him to intercept.
Hao Qiang deflected Lahm's dribbling step forward and immediately passed the ball across.
After the ball is released, he goes forward.
Aguero was flanked by Kroos and Boateng and sent a diagonal pass.
When the football rolled to the left rib area of the penalty area, Hao Qiang countered offside and successfully made a forward move.
Neuer immediately blocked the near corner of the goal.
Hao Qiang adjusted his steps to meet the ball and seemed to be aiming to shoot into the far corner of the goal.
Looking at his movements, Neuer subconsciously tilted his center of gravity and prepared to save towards the far corner of the goal!
After Hao Qiang swept the ball away with his right foot, Neuer stretched his legs to intercept.
The football rolled quickly past his right foot.
Neuer looked back.
The football rolled into the goal against the inside of the near post.
Scammed!
Neuer was rarely hit through the near corner!
Hao Qiang rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms, and touched Aguero's head as he ran to the midfield.
Manchester City fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium cheered wildly.
At least I got some face back!
The players on the field also stabilized their mentality.
Guardiola pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied.
But Hao Qiang's performance did not surprise him.
Bayern Munich's offense has obviously declined in quality.
In addition to the improvement in the defensive quality of Manchester City after the change of formation, it is also directly related to the greedy performance of Shaqiri and Gotze after their substitutions.
Maybe they felt that with a two-goal lead, there was absolutely no problem in winning the game.
But 5 minutes later, when Hao Qiang was surrounded and suppressed while controlling the ball on the left side of the frontcourt, he passed the ball back, and David Silva immediately shifted the attack to the right.
Zabaleta, who had just come on as a substitute, hit the wall with Navas and then made a cross.
Dante was originally wary of Hao Qiang, who was cutting in from behind, but Hao Qiang slanted in front of him to grab the front spot, jumped up to meet the ball and swung his head towards the goal.
The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
Neuer could only look at the ball helplessly and sigh as he was hit in the face.
Manchester City 2:3 Bayern Munich!
The Manchester City fans in the stands went crazy!
Another call came back!
Yaya Toure and Nasri were shocked when they were substituted.
Maybe a little scary!
Guardiola was so angry that he walked to the sidelines and clapped his hands to cheer up the players.
Manchester City's morale soared in a short period of time.
Hao Qiang's two goals gave them hope.
Bayern Munich stalled for time, but Manchester City's active fighting forced them to passively launch an offensive.
Manchester City's backcourt actively defended and intercepted accurately. After stealing the ball, they quickly launched an offensive.
At this moment they are playing like a team.
Although the long-range shots from David Silva and Aguero failed to score, they made Bayern Munich panic.
The game ended in the third minute of stoppage time.
Hao Qiang broke into the middle of the penalty area. After receiving a short pass from Navas from the right rib area of the penalty area, he stopped the ball and turned to the right with his shoulders down.
Boateng immediately moved in the direction he turned, but Hao Qiang did not touch the ball with his feet. He stopped suddenly and reversed, then turned around and dialed the ball to complete the adjustment.
The space left by Boateng became Hao Qiang's shooting route.
A blast shot into the lower right corner of the goal.
