Chapter 349 The momentum is like a broken bamboo, if you want to fight, you must be hard!
After Manchester City's dream start, Roma rose up to resist.
It's not a knockout round.
If you have to fight hard in the group stage, you have to fight hard.
Since we can't defend, we launch a strong attack to compete.
This was not Rudy Garcia's intention.
But there is still blood left in the Roma team.
If you are beaten in pain, you must resist.
Manchester City may have gotten a little carried away.
There was a fierce tug-of-war in midfield, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Even Roma midfielder Nainggolan rushed to the frontcourt to support the striker.
In the 24th minute of the game, he even received Totti's pass and entered the penalty area while advancing, and was then tripped to the ground by Demichelis who broke through the defense.
Kompany has mixed feelings.
So what if Nainggolan passes the ball?
The angle isn't very good, maybe he can't hit it at all?
Manchester City fans are in tears.
Mangala is the pit, Demichelis is the thunder!
Manchester City's defense will give you a big thunderbolt if you don't pay attention!
Totti took the penalty kick and won it instantly.
Roma pulled a goal back.
Kompany and Hao Qiang clapped their hands together in a tacit understanding to keep the team steady.
The dream start suddenly stopped being wonderful.
If Roma counterattacks, the Premier League champions may be disgraced at home today.
Rudy Garcia couldn't show too much optimism about his team getting a goal back.
But the situation is always improving.
He clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost morale and see how the game would develop next.
Facing an opponent like Manchester City, he really wanted to refer to Chelsea's style of play to contain Manchester City's offensive.
But Roma's defense is not as good as Chelsea's, and the quality of their counterattacks is not as good as Chelsea's.
As a result, an overly passive style of play will lead to a situation where you are at the mercy of others.
Now the team is competing against Manchester City, and it’s not certain who will win in a tit-for-tat battle!
The chaotic scene continues.
Neither team was able to control the situation smoothly, and the defense was in danger.
However, Manchester City's continuous pressure on the offensive end is more threatening than Roma.
When Manchester City was able to launch continuous attacks, Roma's defense was on the verge of collapse.
Before the end of the first half, Hao Qiang and Aguero changed positions continuously and he rushed into the goal area. Clichy went down to the left to receive Aguero's pass and sent a cross.
Hao Qiang just ran to the goal, jumped and shook his head to attack the goal, his timing was perfect.
Goalkeeper Sklupski subconsciously raised his hand to block and hit nothing.
Hao Qiang landed and turned around and rushed to the sidelines, roaring like a wild beast!
Manchester City 3:1 Roma.
The stands at the Etihad Stadium were full of fans who paid homage to Hao Qiang!
"Hmph, if Rome dares to fight back, I will give you a tragedy today!"
"Hao Huang scored twice and the team is getting better!"
"Roma obviously can't stand it any longer. Can they still hope to overturn the world with the help of an old Totti?"
The game came to the second half.
In fact, Manchester City's overall performance in the tug-of-war can further stimulate potential.
If it is just a simple offensive battle, it will greatly limit the strength of the striker.
When the team as a whole continues to improve its state through offensive and defensive transitions and continues to put pressure on the opponent, everyone is fully focused on the game, and the state becomes more and more intense.
Rome's resistance looked more and more like a struggle.
I work very hard, but my efficiency is declining.
In the 69th minute, Hao Qiang retreated and cooperated with David Silva against the wall, and then sent the ball into the right side of the penalty area with a through ball.
Navas completely got rid of Ashley Cole around the outside line and cut into the hinterland of the penalty area.
Aguero's outflank in the middle drove the defense to quickly retreat to the goal area.
However, Navas passed the ball back in an inverted triangle to David Silva who was inserted in the middle. The latter met the ball and shot hard from the position where he had just entered the penalty area.
The football rushed into the lower left corner of the goal.
Scrupski was on the verge of crying but had no tears left.
Manchester City's offense is both rough and subtle, it can be soft or hard!
Manchester City 4:1 Roma.
Seal the victory.
Roma fans looked like they were mourning for their heirs.
If they want to advance in this group, maybe the opponent they need to work hard to defeat is not Manchester City, but Bayern Munich!
No matter who it is, it seems difficult.
The aging Totti can no longer hold up Roma's backbone.
Even he can no longer bring hope to Rome.
Yes, who would expect the 38-year-old Totti to lead Roma to glory?
He used to have strength and opportunities.
But in the end, time was wasted in internal strife and consumption.
He is a Roman legend.
But looking back at his time with Roma.
Only the 2001 league championship can be comforted.
In Roma that year, the head coach was Capello, who was world-class at the time, and there were Batistuta and Montella on the front line.
It's hard to say that Totti is the biggest contributor.
Roma fans looked disappointed.
At this point in the competition, I don’t want to have to find someone to take the blame.
In other words, graciously admitting that Manchester City's overall strength is much stronger than them can also make the losing side more dignified.
Pellegrini made a substitution in the 75th minute.
I went to the sidelines to greet Hao Qiang and Aguero.
Nasri and Dzeko appeared together.
In continuous battles, he not only wants to win, but also tries his best to allow the players in the team to reasonably distribute their physical fitness.
Manchester City retreated and Rome did not bother anymore.
In the end, Manchester City won Roma 4:1 and won two consecutive Champions League group matches.
In another match in the same group, Bayern Munich narrowly defeated CSKA Moscow with a goal away from home.
The performance is not strong, at least their goal difference is still negative.
After the game, Pellegrini said that Manchester City will do everything they can to win the first place in the group.
The implication is that he is confident about promotion.
Last season, they were second in the group and faced Barcelona in the knockout rounds, which was a nightmare.
Therefore, teams that have pursuits and goals for the Champions League must do their best to get first in the group.
Otherwise, what kind of teams will they be if they enter the knockout round and draw the top spot in other groups?
There is a high probability that you will encounter teams that are favorites to win the championship, such as defending champions Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and other teams.
Pellegrini's statement still received praise from Fleet Street.
Manchester City's lineup is definitely not perfect.
But looking at the Champions League teams.
Which team is perfect?
There will be more or less shortcomings or shortcomings.
Football is not entirely a competitive sport that competes with hard power.
Be tough when you need to be tough.
Otherwise, there's really no point in pursuing it.
The overwhelming Manchester City were in a tough battle against Aston Villa as a guest at the weekend.
Aston Villa, who was waiting for work, tried their best to attack Manchester City at home.
Aguero and Hao Qiang failed to score in the first 75 minutes.
Hao Qiang hit the goalpost twice, and Aguero was saved from close range.
He hit a lot of long-range shots from the outside but got nothing.
Even Manchester City fans are in despair.
Think their team was unlucky in this game.
But after 80 minutes of the game.
There is clearly one person on the court who is getting stronger as he fights!
Hao Qiang drives the pace in the frontcourt and changes positions frequently, and is a threat when he touches the ball.
As a protracted battle came to an end, it was obvious that Aston Villa could no longer hold on.
In the 84th minute, Hao Qiang completed a triangle pass with Clichy and Silva in front of the penalty area. He dared to enter the penalty area but hit the wall with Aguero.
Instead of advancing, he retreats.
Retreat to the top of the penalty area to meet the ball and shoot hard.
The football flew through the gap in the penalty area and flew into the goal against the inside of the right goal post.
The entire Manchester City team suddenly brightened up and rushed towards Hao Qiang with great excitement to celebrate this hard-won goal!
