Chapter 395 Super goal machine and super team leader!
Bernabeu.
Dzeko's goal was like a heavy punch hitting the hearts of Real Madrid fans.
Critical damage!
Now it becomes extremely difficult to reverse the situation.
In theory, they needed to score three more goals, which would only send the game into overtime.
No matter how you look at it, Manchester City doesn't look like it can be easily slaughtered by them.
The mentality of the Real Madrid generals is even heavier.
Ancelotti looked even more mournful. He knew better than anyone how difficult the situation Real Madrid was facing now.
The offense is worried, and the defense is also facing difficulties.
Let Hao Qiang take long-range shots from the outside, fearing that he will be hit by a world wave.
If defended, Dzeko's threat will be overwhelming again!
Tangled, embarrassed.
Real Madrid did not dare to attack, and the midfielder slowly organized passes, trying to find gaps in Manchester City's defense.
Manchester City still responds to changes by staying the same.
The formation shrinks and squeezes space.
No matter how the wind blows from east to west, from north to south, I will stand firm and unmoving.
Before the end of the half, Ronaldo's long-range shot was blocked by Kompany with his body.
Although he took a hard knock, Kompany tried his best to appear unaffected, as if it didn't matter.
He just secretly rubbed the outside of his thigh that was hit by the football.
It hurts, it really hurts when riding a horse!
But no matter how painful it is, the momentum cannot be weakened and the face cannot be lost!
Before the end of the half, Manchester City's fast break came to an end again.
After Hao Qiang received Silva's pass, James Rodriguez learned his lesson.
Instead of engaging in physical confrontation, he retreated to block Hao Qiang's forward route. Even acting as a roadblock was more effective than attacking directly.
Hao Qiang didn't have a particularly good long-range shooting opportunity, so he made a move that shattered the mentality of Real Madrid's defense.
He turned around after taking possession of the ball and passed the ball back to Milner, who also followed suit.
Real Madrid's defense was gritting its teeth.
Run? Run!
Hao Qiang gave up an offensive opportunity.
Instead of Hao Qiang passing the ball back, the Real Madrid generals certainly expected Hao Qiang to shoot.
How can Manchester City convert the ball if they don't complete the attack?
This slow-paced return made the Real Madrid generals curse in their hearts.
But on the surface, there is nothing else to do but be angry.
If Manchester City starts to kill time now, then Real Madrid is probably starting to lose.
When Real Madrid retreated to the backcourt, Manchester City slowly passed the ball back and forth in the backcourt. Seeing that there was only one last chance left in the first half, Clichy assisted from the left to the frontcourt and then sent a kick.
Cross from the wing at 45 degrees.
Dzeko failed to fight in the penalty area and Ramos headed the ball to clear the ball.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Halftime is over.
The players from Manchester City and Real Madrid looked very different as they walked to the dressing room.
The Manchester City players remained confident and calm, but the Real Madrid players frowned slightly as if they were worried.
Go back to the locker room and take a rest.
Pellegrini highly recognized the players' performance.
"Everyone knew Real Madrid were going to be in trouble today, but they didn't beat us down in the first half and you showed absolute control of the game.
This is great!
Real Madrid only had 45 minutes of the second half left.
They will be anxious, but we should be calmer than them.
They will be strong, and we must be prepared to resist pressure.
As long as we limit Real Madrid's goals, we will eliminate Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and enter the Champions League final.
You have to show everyone with your performance that we deserve to be in the Champions League final!"
The Manchester City generals nodded seriously.
Apart from Hao Qiang, almost no other player in the locker room has ever stood on the stage of the Champions League final.
Well, Lampard has been to the Champions League final, and that year he witnessed Hao Qiang leading Napoli to dominate the world.
Therefore, there is no doubt about everyone’s fighting spirit and will.
They are eager for honors and eager to write a personal career legend in the Champions League final.
Before the start of the second half, Hao Qiang, who had just left the locker room, was caught up by Silva.
"Qiang, what do you think of the second half of the game?"
The implication of Silva's words is: fight how you say, and I will cooperate.
Dzeko was also listening carefully.
Regardless of Dzeko's goal, the person who affects Manchester City's overall strength and has a decisive role in the trend is Hao Qiang next to him.
Hao Qiang is not a star who insists on being in the limelight.
From Lille to Leverkusen, and from Naples to Manchester City.
If he has learned anything on the road to pursuing and realizing his ideals, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth.
He said to Silva: "The head coach's thinking has been very clear. The most important thing for us is defense, control of the scene, and killing Real Madrid. The rest will fall into place. As long as we are ahead, the less time, the better the chance.
I plan to assist the midfield defense at the beginning of the second half, and they will definitely make trouble on the wing."
Silva nodded slightly when he heard this.
After understanding Hao Qiang's intention, he knew what to do.
Dzeko suddenly asked: "I, what should I do?"
After Hao Qiang and Silva looked at each other, he said matter-of-factly: "Just do what you did in the first half, intimidate and wait patiently for the opportunity."
Zheke understands.
Players from both teams returned to the court to change sides and fight again.
Real Madrid fans looked heavy, and the game situation was no longer optimistic.
Only by scoring three goals in a row without conceding a goal can the total score be equalized.
If Real Madrid can make a comeback.
It will definitely be a shocking reversal that will go down in the history of the Champions League semi-finals.
Hao Qiang kept his word and dropped back in the second half, almost becoming a central midfielder.
Enhanced Manchester City's defensive strength in the midfield.
Silva naturally retreated.
This forced Real Madrid's attack to play more decisively out wide.
But Ronaldo must go inside to be a threat, and the same goes for Gareth Bale.
Manchester City's own three defensive midfielders have already restricted the inward cutting of Real Madrid's two wingers.
And Hao Qiang's performance of strengthening defense after retreating turned Real Madrid's 200 million flight into a crash on both wings!
Whether it's Milner blocking Ronaldo or Fernandinho blocking Bale.
Hao Qiang saw the right opportunity to assist in the defense. When he completed a pressing and destroying attack on Bale and Ronaldo from the back, not to mention Ronaldo was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Real Madrid fans almost spit out a mouthful of blood!
"This guy is outrageous!"
"You are a superstar, why do you have to do dirty work? Can you be a little reserved like a superstar?"
"Don't be afraid that he will do dirty work, just be afraid that he will do it well!"
Although Manchester City's counterattack was simple and lacked threat.
However, after strengthening their defense, they are consuming the game time bit by bit.
Real Madrid's formation gradually pressed forward, and the situation forced them to score an early goal.
But the more forward the pressure is, the worse the living environment of the striker becomes.
Their pressing made it look like Manchester City were trying to get out of the way.
Hao Qiang enjoys it in the backcourt. He is like a free man. Wherever there is danger, he goes to put out the fire.
In the 66th minute of the game, Ronaldo was in a poor position and angle after just dribbling in. He took a long shot from too far away.
As soon as the football entered the penalty area, Demichelis raised his leg to block it.
Manchester City fans laughed.
"He's anxious, he's anxious!"
"It's right to shoot early to avoid being intercepted by our Hao Huang, which would be so embarrassing!"
"It sounds like they are all superstars, but our Hao Huang is talented in both literary and military skills, with both strength and softness. He is not just good at scoring goals."
Although Hao Qiang's performance is not outstanding at the technical level, it is impressive.
But the psychological impact and shock it brings to the audience is even greater!
He is a center forward, but now he plays the role of a ball-grabbing machine in the midfield and backfield.
This dramatic contrast in role and role, looking at the past ten or twenty years in European football, no other person can achieve it.
This makes people unable to take their eyes off it, and their minds are filled with wonder.
Hao Qiang's fans are extremely fanatical.
Although he can score many shocking goals like Ronaldo, but purely in terms of offensive viewing, they are not as good as Messi.
Boss Mei's dribbling breakthroughs are unparalleled in European football.
But Hao Qiang uses his outstanding team-making ability to frequently switch roles, which is the key to attracting fans.
Perhaps many people are looking forward to Hao Qiang's magnificent turn in the game.
One second he was a center forward, the next moment he might be a winger, attacking midfielder, central midfielder, or even a defensive midfielder.
The Real Madrid players watched the game time passing by, feeling increasingly impatient.
But there's nothing they can do against Manchester City's iron barrel formation!
Ancelotti started making substitutions.
Little Pea Hernandez came on to replace the poor performance of Benzema.
Real Madrid's offense is starting to get simpler.
Go into the Manchester City penalty area!
This style of play makes Hao Qiang less effective in intercepting and pressing in the backcourt.
However, Manchester City's defense is more confident in defending.
Go for it.
Isn’t this the method used most often in the Premier League?
Hao Qiang looked at Real Madrid's defense and saw that the pressure was very high.
He returned to the midfield.
Real Madrid feels that at this stage it is time to start fighting.
But Manchester City felt that the game was already a sure thing.
In the 77th minute of the game, when Joe Hart punched out Marcelo's cross in the penalty area, Milner stopped the ball in the backcourt and quickly passed the ball to find Silva.
Silva saw Hao Qiang pulling up to the right and running quickly.
Marcelo couldn't come back immediately.
After receiving the response, Hao Qiang stopped and dribbled forward.
Varane knew that if he simply returned to defense, Manchester City would definitely break through the defense.
So he helped defend the wing and tried to intercept Hao Qiang. If it didn't work, he could always commit a foul, right?
When he was still two meters away from Hao Qiang, Hao Qiang passed the ball back diagonally.
Silva followed up and responded, and Varane moved to the center again.
But Silva followed up by sending an overhead pass.
Varane turned around and took a look.
I was suddenly filled with frustration and despair.
Hao Qiang continued to advance along the wing, turned inside and received Silva's pass, stopping and continuing to advance.
When Hao Qiang reached the penalty area with the ball.
Ramos had to rush towards Hao Qiang to intercept.
Hao Qiang suddenly stopped to control the ball and then sent a cross pass.
Ramos braked suddenly and tried to turn back, but he used too much force and his feet slipped. His upper body turned around, but his lower body could not keep his center of gravity.
After he fell to the ground, he looked up and watched Dzeko stop the ball, move forward one step, and calmly volley the ball into the lower right corner of the goal from the penalty spot.
Dzeko raised his fists high, turned around, pointed at Hao Qiang and roared!
"The ball went in! Dzeko scored twice! Manchester City led Real Madrid 2:1 at the Bernabeu and the total score was 6:2!
This goal completely killed the defending champion Real Madrid.
Manchester City has secured the victory and they will advance to the Champions League final this season!
Hao Qiang was too steady and performed well on the defensive end in the second half. When Real Madrid launched a strong attack, he returned to the offensive end, seizing the gap in the defense left by Marcelo's assist, and skillfully cooperated with his teammates to advance smoothly in the penalty area.
Assist teammates calmly and selflessly.
Hao Qiang fully demonstrated what a team leader is in the two-round duel with Real Madrid!
He controlled the game from start to finish!"
Manchester City fans are excited.
"We are going to the Champions League final!"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, we have already entered the Champions League final!"
"Hahaha, it's great to celebrate at the Bernabeu!"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. We eliminated the defending champion and the all-powerful Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. It's so exciting!"
The scene of Hao Qiang and Dzeko high-fiving and running to the sidelines together deeply hurt Real Madrid fans.
"It's over. Our younger brother Manchester City, who we used to beat casually, has now become a formidable enemy that we can't beat!"
"Looking at Hao Qiang's performance, I am not surprised at all by this result!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Don't you understand? If we only look at the number of goals scored, who has beaten us the most in the two rounds? It's Dzeko! He scored three goals!
But you wouldn't think that Dzeko is so powerful.
Because all three goals were assisted by Hao Qiang.
And where is our top star?
He is not happy when his teammates shoot, and he wishes he could finish the shot at every opportunity.
In terms of team awareness and structure, among the three superstars, Hao Qiang is the strongest, followed by Messi, and then our No. 7."
"Sigh, but he is indeed our best goal scorer."
"Do we want to score goals or win? If we want to understand this question and compare the performance of the players, why do the teammates who partner with Hao Qiang have performances that exceed their career averages or even reach new heights?
Vidal in Leverkusen, Cavani in Naples, and Aguero now in Manchester City. Let’s take a look at the strongest efficiency in their career seasons. They are all paired with the same man.
Simply put, Ronaldo is a super goal-scoring machine, but Hao Qiang has become a super team leader!"
Many Real Madrid fans were lost in thought.
Then someone sighed.
"I have a feeling that if Hao Qiang comes to Real Madrid, even if there is no Ronaldo around him, maybe Real Madrid's overall firepower will be stronger, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Benzema
Their firepower will be fully unleashed!"
"It would have been like this. Just looking at Hao Qiang's performance in these two rounds, he didn't even stay at the center position for long. What do you think is the reason? Is it that the center position cannot score goals or that he always appears in the position where the team needs it most?
superior?
Then what?
He has scored two goals and Manchester City have scored six goals in total so far.
Averaged three goals per game.
Putting aside his stance, objectively speaking, Hao Qiang is the one among the three superstars who can best enhance the team's combat effectiveness."
Real Madrid fans have accepted the exit.
But what makes them sad is that maybe they have no chance to have Hao Qiang again.
How could Manchester City let go of such a superstar?
