Chapter 387 All four are empty? Life and death battle!
Hao Qiang's killer kill detonated Old Trafford!
He scored a hat trick but did not take off his clothes to celebrate.
At the end of the season, he had a lot of worries.
Afraid of accumulating yellow cards and getting suspended.
But when he raised his fists and roared in anger, all Manchester City fans lost their minds.
Today they can leave Old Trafford with their jaws held high.
Declare to all Red Devils fans who the master of this city is!
The mentality of the Manchester United generals exploded.
The fans almost vomited blood!
When a thrilling goal battle finally came to an end, Manchester United turned into a clown at home!
Pellegrini doesn't care about the Champions League in the next few days at this time, and Van Gaal himself doesn't care.
Being able to win this derby is of extraordinary significance to Manchester City.
Manchester United's final attack came to nothing.
Valencia's cross failed to find his teammate and was cleared with Kompany's header.
The final whistle sounded.
The Manchester City players raised their fists and cheered for the derby victory.
They walked towards Hao Qiang one after another, high-fived each other, hugged each other vigorously, and nodded to each other with firm expressions.
The Red Devils fans had complicated expressions and tried their best to ignore the arrogance of their rival Manchester City fans.
Manchester City left with their heads held high.
Fleet Street sent Hao Qiang to the headlines after the game.
"The God of War of Manchester City has made the final decision to overturn Old Trafford!"
“Manchester Derby, Hao Qiang’s Theater of Dreams!”
"Hao Qiang is indispensable for Manchester City to maintain its championship momentum, but as long as Chelsea makes no mistakes, Manchester City's hope of defending the title is becoming slim."
Chelsea won this round's away game against Queens Park Rangers.
The lead over Manchester City is still 4 points.
...
The Manchester derby consumes a lot of money for Manchester City.
In the middle of the week, they went to Turin, Italy, to challenge Serie A champion Juventus as a guest.
Naples declines, Juventus recovers.
The Serie A landscape has not changed much after the transfers of Hao Qiang and Cavani.
It's nothing more than Juventus completing its renaissance.
After completing the restoration of the local league, Juventus naturally set its sights on the European arena.
Manchester City played away from home, and Pellegrini was more conservative in employing personnel and tightened control.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.
Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Krarov.
Midfielder: Milner, Lampard, David Silva, Fernandinho.
Forwards: Hao Qiang, Aguero.
Manchester City actually seemed to have played 4312.
The two teams faced each other tit for tat.
The pace was slow after the game started.
Manchester City was unable to turn around, while Juventus implemented the style and characteristics of Italian football.
If there is no situation and environment for a steady counterattack, then the control will be maximized as much as possible.
The pace of the game is not fast.
The sporadic shots produced by both teams seemed to have average chances.
Hao Qiang and Aguero mostly shot long-range shots from outside the penalty area. Buffon did a good job of blocking the ball. As long as he doesn't make mistakes or is hit by extremely tricky angles, it will be difficult for his fingers to be penetrated.
Juventus seems to have little chance here. Even if Pirlo can improve the quality of Juventus' offense, Juventus is slightly lacking in firepower in terms of coordination and creative ability in the final strike.
The scene was at a stalemate.
Hao Qiang also felt weak in the future.
The overall rhythm never picks up, and there is a lack of continuity when trying to exert force. Even if the speed increases, it is just a wave, and the rhythm will soon break off.
The level and quality of Juventus' defense cannot be underestimated, and it is not easy to penetrate.
After 80 minutes of the game, Pellegrini decided to call it quits.
If they can get away with a draw from the away game, the situation will be good or bad for Manchester City.
It’s not bad because we didn’t lose.
The bad thing is that there are no away goals.
After Hao Qiang and Aguero went off one after another, Juventus did everything they could to obey fate and continued to increase the intensity of their offensive firepower at the last moment.
Seeing that the game was about to enter stoppage time, Pirlo assisted the frontcourt and reached the front area of Manchester City's penalty area.
Received Tevez's back pass and sent a through ball.
Although the scalpel-like through ball is penetrating in a small area, it may not give the responder an excellent shooting opportunity.
But Morata suddenly fell to the ground after taking a diagonal step towards the ball.
Demichelis extended his legs to intercept, but after hearing the whistle, he quickly shook his finger at the referee to show that he had not touched Morata.
The referee points to the penalty spot.
Demichelis smiled in disbelief, and then the smile gradually disappeared.
"Damn it! This guy is faking!"
"The key is that the referee believes it! It's a nest of snakes and rats!"
"As for you, Morata must have learned diving from Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Of course Manchester City fans don't have a good impression of Ronaldo.
And now that they suffered an unwarranted penalty, they were even more indignant.
Vidal took the penalty kick and blasted the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
Juventus 1:0 Manchester City.
Hao Qiang sat on the bench with a grim expression.
Manchester City lost to Turin in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
If it is 0:0, the situation is not good or bad.
Now trailing 0:1, the situation is extremely unfavorable to Manchester City.
Because in the second round, once Juventus scores an away goal at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City will have to score at least 3 goals at home to eliminate their opponent!
For a time, Manchester was gloomy and gloomy.
Fleet Street is also pessimistic about Manchester City advancing to the Champions League semi-finals.
Some media also defected in advance, believing that Manchester City will lose all four major players this season.
After all, he won the local treble last season.
The EFL Cup and FA Cup were eliminated early this season.
There are still 6 rounds left in the league, and Chelsea may be 4 points behind and unable to overtake.
The situation in the Champions League has taken a turn for the worse again.
Manchester City fell from the clouds into the abyss in just a short time.
In the 33rd round of the league, Manchester City faced the visiting West Ham United at home.
Because we will face Juventus at home next week.
Therefore, Manchester City must win quickly this season.
Pellegrini formulated the tactics, and the Manchester City generals nodded and accepted the order.
There's nothing wrong with the head coach's thinking.
They tried their best to execute.
When West Ham United came to the away game, they naturally set up an iron barrel formation.
Manchester City did it right from the start.
The lineup also underwent some rotation today, just to be in stronger shape in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Hao Qiang and Aguero continue to start.
David Silva sat on the bench.
Manchester City gave up complicated offensive methods and simply flew on both wings.
Krarov and Sagna spared no effort to attack from the wing.
Lampard organized and dispatched in the middle, and Milner intervened in the middle.
In addition, Hao Qiang and Aguero compete for points in the penalty area.
The attack relies on the impact of frequency and rhythm, quickly accumulating frequent attacks.
West Ham United's defense has been wavering in the penalty area, and Manchester City's impact speed has forced them to make a clearance in the backcourt.
But soon Manchester City's offensive came to the city again.
Regardless of the quality of the offense, the ball flew to the goal area anyway, which was enough to make them panic.
In the 19th minute of the game, Hao Qiang took the initiative to meet Sagna, received the ball in the right flank of the penalty area, took a step toward the baseline steering wheel, and then made a strong pass.
When the football flew to the center of the goal, defender Collins, who was marking Aguero, accidentally blocked the ball into his own goal during a clearance.
Make your own mistake!
Manchester City fans burst into earth-shaking cheers.
"Hao Huang made an own goal and broke the deadlock!"
"Okay, okay, let's defend. West Ham United has no ability to break our goal."
"Really? When did our defense become so stable?"
A one-goal lead is never safe.
Manchester City are self-aware.
This season, the opponents have been kept clean in less than 1/3 of the games. Why do you have any confidence that you can win by taking a one-goal lead?
Of course we must continue to attack hard.
Under heavy pressure, West Ham United also hopes to put pressure on Manchester City's defense by strengthening its counterattack.
Naturally, they will not be captured without mercy.
In the 35th minute of the game, Nasri made a pass from the right, and Hao Qiang made a false shot in front of the penalty area.
Aguero then volleyed the ball from the center into the West Ham United goal.
After Aguero scored, he clenched his fist with one hand and looked determined. After the Manchester City generals came running, everyone gathered around him.
Unify our thoughts and continue our offensive.
West Ham United was completely defeated by Manchester City's wing attack today.
Being two goals behind, they felt extremely aggrieved. They were planning a counterattack but were intercepted by Manchester City just as they reached the frontcourt.
Manchester City counterattacked on the spot, using a simple and lively fast break from the wing to reach the frontcourt. Aguero received the ball and sent a pass.
Hao Qiang stepped forward and dunked Collins past Collins with a fake shot in the left rib area of the penalty area. Then he made a precise push shot and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal.
The cheers at the Etihad Stadium were deafening!
"Hao Huang made the final decision and sealed the victory!"
"It's 3:0. We can definitely defend now and retain our strength for the Champions League."
"Yes, yes, we must retain our strength, recharge our batteries, and make a comeback against Juventus!"
Pellegrini gritted his teeth slightly, his eyes full of determination.
In this sprint moment, Manchester City's performance definitely boosted morale.
Not to mention the fans, even the coach was stimulated.
Halftime is over.
After the game entered the second half, the style of the game changed suddenly.
Manchester City tightened control, killed time and slowed down the pace.
West Ham certainly know what Manchester City means.
But they were determined to kill the thief, but they were powerless to save the day.
Being three goals behind and just relying on hard work to come back, we really have to hope for a miracle.
As the 60th minute approached, Hao Qiang and Aguero were substituted.
Dzeko and Bony, who came on the bench, showed a counterattack attitude after coming on.
Pass back if you don't have a chance, and sprint if you have a chance.
West Ham United are not fooled.
If they go all out, Manchester City might start massacring them based on their three-goal lead.
The game gradually came to an end in a small-scale tug-of-war.
Manchester City fans first celebrated the team's victory.
Then he cursed Manchester United.
The focus battle of this round was staged at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea beat Manchester United 1:0 at home.
There are 5 rounds left in the league.
Manchester City is 4 points behind Chelsea.
Hope is getting slimmer.
...
The Champions League quarter-finals are here as scheduled.
Manchester City's generals are on alert.
On the match day, everyone looked serious and the atmosphere was a bit solemn, but everyone was not nervous.
But full of fighting spirit!
Fighting spirit is surging!
The unwarranted penalty kick in the first round made everyone upset.
Maybe misjudgments are indeed part of football.
The audience easily accepts this.
Such as the praise of Maradona's Hand of God.
But how shattered will the England team's mood be? How many people will care?
Manchester City fans rushed to the venue, holding up banners and holding slogans to cheer for the team.
Juventus is full of confidence. They have already won the first round. As long as they don't overturn in the second round, they can advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Another big step towards rejuvenation out of a wealthy family.
However, the Etihad Stadium was filled with a chilling atmosphere today, and it was clear that Manchester City's players were ready to go.
There have been some changes to the starting players of both teams from the first round.
Manchester City started 433.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.
Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy.
Midfielder: Lampard, David Silva, Fernandinho.
Forwards: Navas, Hao Qiang, Aguero.
Manchester City maximized their firepower while taking into account the offensive and defensive balance of the formation.
Since Juventus took a one-goal lead in the first round, Allegri's formation tended to be conservative.
The starting lineup of 352 can be switched to 532 at any time.
Obviously, Juventus is going to fight back on the road.
With the referee's whistle, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals officially started.
Manchester City did it right from the start.
Hao Qiang was closely guarded by his opponent in the frontcourt, but Manchester City actively cooperated with other offensive points. After Aguero and David Silva cooperated with a short pass from the left side of the frontcourt, David Silva sent a wonderful pass.
Clichy made a pass from the left, Hao Qiang failed to grab the ball in front of the goal, and Bonucci made a header to clear the ball.
Juventus' counterattack started quickly, and Pirlo's precise long pass found Tevez who was running upfield.
Fernandinho assisted Kompany in the defense and completed a double attack to steal the ball.
Manchester City launched another fast break without a moment's pause.
Premier League teams are good at fast pace, which is their advantage. When they are behind in the score, they naturally have to increase the pace.
Hao Qiang played the ball in the frontcourt, and Lampard stepped in and missed the long shot.
Juventus tried to control the tempo and control the situation, and of course they were tit for tat with Manchester City in this regard.
However, the more this happens, the faster their offensive quality declines.
When it's time to speed up, it seems like it can't produce a particularly obvious speed-up impact.
Morata receives special care from Manchester City.
The pit king Demichelis rarely had the upper hand in his frontal defense.
This is also directly related to the pressing strategy adopted by Manchester City's overall defense.
Hao Qiang, who scored a lot from the group stage to the round of 16, was severely restricted by his opponent when facing his old rival Juventus.
This allowed him to completely change his style during today's life-and-death battle.
Although he is a center, he is actively creating opportunities for his teammates.
In the 28th minute of the game, Hao Qiang received a pass from Navas from the wing on the right side of the penalty area. He spiked the ball and retreated as soon as he touched the ball.
When Chiellini and Pirlo came to attack, he calmly and accurately passed the ball to the left side of the top of the penalty area.
Lampard stepped in from behind and shot the ball.
The football flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Buffon made a flying save and saved the ball.
But just when the football was about to roll out of the baseline, Aguero picked the ball towards the center of the goal.
Buffon was startled, and he immediately stood up and rushed towards the center.
Bonucci tried to head the ball to clear the ball while moving, but someone jumped first and suppressed him invisibly.
As a result, he was completely unable to reach the ultimate height when he took off in the next step.
Hao Qiang!
He headed the ball into the empty goal in front of him!
