The first half of the Champions League semi-final first leg between Manchester City and Real Madrid came to an end.
The score of 2:1 makes Manchester City fans not very optimistic, and Real Madrid fans can also stay calm.
After returning to the locker room, the Manchester City generals did not see Aguero, presumably he went directly to the hospital for surgery.
Pellegrini cheered the team on and also made certain adjustments in tactics.
It emphasized the need for the team to focus on strengthening offensive distribution and tearing apart Real Madrid's defense.
To put it bluntly, the truth is that we cannot focus all the offensive on Hao Qiang, and let Hao Qiang also lay an ambush appropriately.
After the Manchester City players returned to the field, they started the second half of the game amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the fans.
Real Madrid has an away goal, so it looks like it can hold on.
There's no need to panic.
Carvajal was a little nervous, fearing that Hao Qiang's solo attack would use his body to fight against the hooligans.
However, Manchester City's attack at the beginning of the second half was obviously leaning towards the right.
Navas successively hit the middle and bottom wing at 45 degrees or made crosses from the bottom.
Dzeko and Hao Qiang, two header experts, frequently attacked in the penalty area.
Real Madrid's defense is under tremendous pressure.
Even if Manchester City uses conventional means to attack their defense, Ramos and Varane cannot guarantee that they can absolutely block Hao Qiang and Dzeko point-to-point every time.
But it can still create interference. As long as it doesn't make a big mistake, it basically won't give Manchester City a perfect chance to score.
Real Madrid's frontcourt offensive began to stretch a bit, and Manchester City focused on strengthening the pressing restrictions on James Rodriguez and cutting off the opponent's offensive formation.
And because Real Madrid has an away goal in hand, the overall attitude is still conservative.
Without investing more troops, it is difficult for the forward attack to form a smooth and continuous cooperation.
Isco and Gareth Bale sent crosses from the wing. Even though Ronaldo's ability to score headers is unparalleled in the world, it is impossible to compete for every high-altitude ball.
Manchester City's advantage is not huge, but their attacking frequency is always ahead of Real Madrid.
The situation seems to be reaching a stalemate, and fans of both teams are looking forward to their respective teams' extraordinary performance in their regular style of play.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Navas, with the assistance of Silva, went down again to connect. This time he gave up the cross and boldly rushed into the penalty area.
Marcelo retreated to block the ball and Navas passed the ball back.
Silva received the response from the right side of the top of the penalty area.
When Pepe was pressing, Silva controlled the ball but retreated instead. He turned around and faced the left wing before passing the ball smoothly.
Hao Qiang cuts inside and Ramos defends cautiously.
When Hao Qiang touches the ball, he accelerates and cuts inside to the center.
Ramos immediately moved to close the door with Varane.
Hao Qiang knocked the ball horizontally to the left.
Ramos turned his head and looked around, and was surprised to see Fernandinho rush to the penalty area line to meet the ball and hit the goal.
Then look back towards the goal.
The football missed the outside of the left goal post and flew out of the baseline.
Real Madrid fans are terrified.
If it were a little off, it would have hit the target, and I'm afraid Casillas wouldn't have time to react!
Manchester City began to look for changes in attack.
Ancelotti gestured on the sidelines, asking Real Madrid to seize the opportunity as much as possible to change the counterattack mode.
In the 65th minute of the game, Gareth Bale was receiving the ball from the left side of the frontcourt and suddenly took the ball to the outside and beat Zabaleta. The latter turned to pursue but was thrown away.
Manchester City fans were shocked.
Gareth Bale was like a sports car, pressing the accelerator to the bottom, turning inward while sprinting, but he ran fast, but he didn't control the ball delicately enough.
When Kompany made an interception and forced him to the outside line, Gareth Bale entered the penalty area, touched the ball and changed direction, heading towards the baseline.
Seeing that the football was about to roll off the bottom line, Gareth Bale was forced to cross.
Ronaldo was about to outflank the goal, but Joe Hart attacked and confiscated the ball first.
Manchester City fans are relieved.
But I still have lingering fears.
Don't dare let Gareth Bale break through the defense alone!
Real Madrid has a superstar and several superstars, and Gareth Bale is undoubtedly one of them.
There are many top stars, which means there are many uncontrollable factors.
A superstar's status suddenly soars, and a game can be decided by going crazy!
In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester City had a fast break in the frontcourt. Silva passed the ball diagonally in front of Pepe to Hao Qiang who was cutting inside.
Hao Qiang dribbled to the left side of the top of the penalty area. Kroos rushed to press, but Ramos blocked the way.
At this time, Dzeko moved diagonally into the area behind Ramos, and Hao Qiang decisively sent a direct pass.
Ramos turned around to press for an interception.
Dzeko stopped the ball and passed the ball back.
Dzeko knows his mission very well after coming on the field.
If he is not sure to send the ball into the goal, then all actions must create opportunities for Hao Qiang.
But Ramos blocked the passing line, so he could only pass the ball back.
However, Hao Qiang ran towards the center of the penalty area.
Ramos turned around and what he saw was Silva touching the ball in front of the penalty area line and transferring the ball with one kick.
Navas cut inside to stop the ball and then crossed the ball.
Hao Qiang and Dzeko completed the change of positions in a small area.
Varane thought Navas' goal was a shot.
Because he was heading towards the near corner of the goal.
But the ball speed is a bit slow.
He didn't move, Casillas should be able to confiscate the ball easily.
But he doesn't know what's going on behind him!
Casillas gritted his teeth and ran toward the right goal post.
Hao Qiang was one meter ahead of him!
Hao Qiang did not stay in the middle waiting for the ball.
The moment Navas passed the ball, he started to rush forward, and then changed direction slightly.
On the line of the small penalty area, Hao Qiang was unable to directly take off and volley in the face of the football that had just landed.
The steps are wrong.
He kept running, but also adjusted his movements.
When the football was about to fly between his legs, he arched his right foot behind him and knocked the ball toward the goal!
Casillas was stunned and didn't expect the tall and powerful Hao Qiang to have such a good time!
He didn't have time to fall to the ground to save, so he subconsciously stretched his legs to block it, but was still a step too late.
The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal first!
All Manchester City fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium were ecstatic, and their cheers shook all directions!
"Hao Qiang! Incredible goal, an idea to grab the ball in front of the goal!"
Arrange flowers and knock the ball with your feet to score!
This goal is so wonderful, it once again proves that Hao Qiang is not just as powerful as he seems on the surface, and his technical strength cannot be underestimated!
Manchester City leads Real Madrid 3:1.
The balance of victory and defeat once again tipped towards Manchester City.
This score may be a bit uncomfortable for Real Madrid now."
Ancelotti gritted his teeth.
Harder, harder, harder fist!
Hao Qiang's trick-or-treating performance is so impressive!
It's really unexpected.
He can turn a ball that is so difficult to handle into a goal.
The strength is unprecedented.
The Real Madrid generals also shook their heads slightly.
Unexpected, absolutely unexpected.
It wasn't Hao Qiang who scored the goal, but Manchester City stepped up their offensive changes after speeding up, as if the impact of Aguero's injury and retirement had been minimized by them.
The core is still the man!
Manchester City fans were extremely excited.
"With a 3:1 lead over Real Madrid, can this lay the foundation for us to advance to the Champions League final?"
"Hao Huang is mighty, his 20th Champions League goal this season!"
"I have a hunch that Hao Huang can score a hat trick!"
When Hao Qiang knelt down to the sidelines, clenched his fists and roared, the Manchester City generals rushed over to surround him, and everyone roared at the top of their lungs.
His momentum was high and his attitude was particularly tough.
Pellegrini quickly made substitutions.
Okay, okay.
The score of 3:1 is definitely an advantageous score.
As long as Real Madrid no longer scores goals, Manchester City will definitely be confident of knocking out the defending champion when they go to the Bernabeu a week later!
So Pellegrini called Milner in front of him and gave instructions about the tasks after coming on the field.
Before Real Madrid kicked off, Milner came on to replace Navas.
Milner ran into the field and came to Hao Qiang first and said a few words to him.
Hao Qiang looked at Pellegrini on the sidelines and nodded.
call.
Pellegrini couldn't help but give Hao Qiang a thumbs up.
With Hao Huang here, he feels at ease and at ease!
Ancelotti looked gloomy and had to make adjustments at this time.
But I insist that Real Madrid and Manchester City fight hard.
He doesn't think it's necessary.
What are you doing?
It was only the first leg, two goals behind, and they still had an away goal.
Don't worry, let's decide whether to live or die now!
Hernandez came on as a substitute to replace Isco.
Ancelotti signaled to the team that the offense should be simpler and more direct.
But after Real Madrid kicked off, they found that the situation on the field had changed dramatically.
Manchester City is not a good person!
Changes 4321.
The overall formation retreated and shrunk, Hao Qiang also retreated and played central midfielder with Silva.
The three midfielders behind him are all engineers, responsible for mincing meat.
Real Madrid is two goals behind and must pay a high error tolerance rate to gain an advantage on the field.
That is to nip Manchester City's offensive threat in the cradle when defending.
Can't conventional actions kill it?
Is it a foul?
Doesn’t everyone have a yellow card tolerance in football matches?
But when Real Madrid started to organize the attack, they found that it was not the case.
Dzeko took the lead and counterattacked in front of the center circle.
He has good physical strength and spares no effort.
Hao Qiang and Silva carried out an encirclement and suppression campaign against James Rodriguez.
Manchester City's remaining three defensive midfielders split up to defend the wings and intercept Carvajal and Marcelo's late passes.
Manchester City's defensive stranglehold itself put Real Madrid's midfield organization into a dilemma, sometimes hesitating and sometimes making hasty moves.
When the offense entered the dangerous area, Manchester City basically quickly completed the formation cutting and launched a local fierce encirclement and suppression.
Manchester City only needs to steal the ball in the backcourt and quickly launch a fast break.
Silva and Milner took turns to move forward, and Hao Qiang and Dzeko also spread out their forward movements in a hierarchical manner.
Instead, Real Madrid's defense was forced to take foul measures.
Ronaldo was furious.
I can't wait for a long time for a wonderful pass and a good piece of cake.
He has all the skills but nowhere to put them to use.
But Hao Qiang is very eye-catching on the court.
The offensive work was almost done, and the defense began to show strong strength again.
Manchester City fans began humiliating Ronaldo with chants similar to chants.
"Our Hao Huang is proficient in everything, how can Ronaldo be compared?
Hao Huang scored more goals than you, Hao Huang defended better than you, and you stole Hao Huang’s Golden Ball..."
This kind of singing is naturally harsh, but it is not uncommon in various competitions.
Most of the time, no one cares about it.
But Ronaldo became even more angry when he heard these lyrics.
Just after 75 minutes of the game, Hao Qiang used the second legendary card.
Uruguayan avant-garde legendary superstar, Andrade, is known as the black miracle in history!
Hao Qiang's condition soared again, and his coverage in the midfield was strengthened.
When he encountered Real Madrid players holding the ball, the aggressiveness and stealing ability he displayed stunned Real Madrid fans.
"Hao Qiang successfully stole the ball from Kroos and made a through ball!"
"Dzeko went solo, Casillas attacked and saved the ball! Real Madrid escaped!"
"James Rodriguez was intercepted by Hao Qiang from behind!"
Hao Qiang and Silva hit the wall at a short distance and then dribbled forward. Just as he changed direction to get rid of Kroos, Pepe knocked him to the ground.
Hao Qiang immediately stood up from the ground and stared at Peipei with a cold face. He didn't look embarrassed at all, but looked a bit ferocious.
Ancelotti frowned.
Hao Qiang’s presence in the midfield is too strong!
It even makes people feel that if he plays as a midfielder, he will be no worse than if he plays as a forward.
Real Madrid could hardly organize a threatening attack.
The midfielders were all scared. Not to mention they didn't dare to control the ball. When they saw Hao Qiang coming, they immediately wanted to pass the ball out.
This causes them to pass the ball faster to the wing.
But this is too obvious and easy to predict.
In the 86th minute of the game, Cross passed the ball to the right side of the frontcourt. Hernandez was interfered by Clichy during the reception, and he reluctantly passed the ball back.
But the ball was passed a little wide.
Fernandinho intercepted the ball before Carvajal and then passed the ball diagonally forward.
Hao Qiang took advantage of the situation and moved the ball forward along the left side.
Pepe immediately helped defend the wing.
Hao Qiang suddenly stopped and pulled the ball to change direction when the opponent came at him with a ferocious tackle. After dodging the opponent's tackle, Hao Qiang sent a diagonal pass on the spot.
Milner broke into the right half of the frontcourt, received Hao Qiang's pass and continued to advance quickly.
After stepping into the dangerous offensive area and encountering Varane, Milner passed the ball across.
Silva received the ball in the middle and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
The ball rolled into the path of Milner's forward movement.
Milner continued to break through Varane's defense and sent a cross from the edge of the penalty area.
Dzeko rushed to the penalty spot and faced the flying football directly towards the goal.
Ramos, who had just rushed back from the side, could not do anything.
The football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.
Casillas took two steps to attack and immediately made the save, unable to save the situation!
The Manchester City fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium went completely crazy!
4:1!
The score became 4:1!
"Dzeko! Dzeko's header is the most important and valuable goal he scored for Manchester City this season!
Manchester City almost killed the defending champion at home!
Trailing by three goals in the total score, Real Madrid must create a miracle comeback at the Bernabeu a week later to make a comeback!
But facing Manchester City, which is in strong form and momentum, does Real Madrid have a chance?"
