309 This day begins to kill each other!(1/2)
"Etihad Stadium has unprecedented passion tonight, because Manchester City reached the Champions League semi-final for the first time. They created the club's history in Europe, but it is not yet a brilliant one. They are only one step away from the Champions League final and are competing for the European Championship!
The war in European football has come to an end. Today we will witness the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Etihad Stadium.
Can Manchester City achieve an advantageous result at home against Atletico Madrid?
Or will the final battle be pushed to the second half of Calderon Stadium?
Pellegrini's Manchester City started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.
Defenders: Sanya, Kompani, Otamendi, Krish.
Midfielder: Fernando, De Bruyne, Fernandinho.
Forwards: Navas, Aguero, David Silva.
Aguero, Aguero, and Atletico Madrid fans should have a complicated relationship with Aguero at this moment, and they will inevitably see Aguero's heroic posture when he attacked the Red and White Army at Calderon Stadium.
Of course, they would not expect to see Aguero break through his old club goal, but Aguero, who won the first Premier League championship in team history with a countdown, is now Manchester City's legendary striker!
Simeone's Atletico Madrid starts 442 today.
Goalkeeper: Oblak.
Defenders: Juan Fran, Godin, Jimenez, Felipe Louis.
Midfielders: Cork, Gaby, Fernandez, Saul.
Forward: Griezmann, Ye Yifeng.
Which forward in European football has the fastest popularity and is the most popular in the limelight this season.
Ye Yifeng from China, who is the new king of red and white at Atletico Madrid!
He led Atletico Madrid to beat Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga. He also dominated the list of La Liga scorers and has a great hope to become another player who can score 40 goals in the top European league in a single season.
Last season in the UEFA Cup and Bundesliga, the combination of Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne was invincible!
De Bruyne wore Manchester City jersey today, and Ye Yifeng led Atletico Madrid. This pair of close Gemini stars who played in the same game today will surely cause a storm on the field!
The battle is about to begin, and the fanatical cheering of Etihad Stadium indicates the extraordinary game.
The referee blew the whistle and started the war!”
After the game began, Manchester City immediately launched a fast attack without temptation.
When De Bruyne entered the frontcourt, Ye Yifeng defended from behind him, alerting the other Manchester City midfielders to the back.
Manchester City quickly moved the offensive to the right fast break, Navas, who moved from La Liga to the Premier League, was a speed maniac. With the limited support of Sarnia, he quickly hit Felipe Luis and knocked the ball backwards diagonally. De Bruyne took the initiative to respond and directly made a diagonal cross.
Godin and Jimenez were on Aguero's defensive focus, but the football bounced out of the baseline after the penalty area.
David Silva followed up slowly.
Simeone frowned slightly, and the threat that this kick suddenly posed to the pass on the foot was enough to make him sound an alarm.
This is not a good sign.
Compared to Barcelona's diagonal pass, it requires players to receive and send fatal assists. De Bruyne's diagonal cross is closer to the goal. If a teammate can cut inside, even if the angle is small, it can unexpectedly form an attack as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, David Silva is not a Terminator character.
When Ye Yifeng saw this cross, his heart rippled.
It seems to be remembering the past when De Bruyne repeatedly passed the ball on the court almost two years ago but asked him to just run and grab the spot.
No one knows how much he misses this extreme pass that is so sexy this season!
No player in Atletico Madrid can give such a pass from God's perspective to tear the opponent's defense line. If someone does it by chance, it will definitely be fooled.
But then again, this extreme pass becomes an assist and will be amazing. When it fails to play, it is often a passing pass in the eyes of the audience. If a player with no level is considered a blind kick, it will be considered a few players.
In the 5th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid had a fast break in the frontcourt. Cork intercepted the ball against David Silva and immediately passed the ball straight ahead.
Ye Yifeng was running and responding, Fernandinho rushed from the front to intercept, and Ye Yifeng suddenly accelerated and dribbled towards the side area before touching the ball.
Fernandinho quickly turned around and retreated, and Ye Yifeng encountered Crish while advancing quickly along the side road.
After quickly pedaling the bicycle for two rounds, he sank his shoulders and made a move to cut inward. Krish swayed left and right slightly and then the center of gravity was deceived into the inside line. Ye Yifeng changed the ball and broke through from the outside line and sent a cross.
Griezmann inserted into the penalty area and shot directly from the right side of the outside without stopping!
The football hit the goal net, which was still half a meter away from the goal range.
De Bruyne looked a little dazed when he saw Ye Yifeng's slutty operation output in the backcourt.
After a year of absence, Ye Yifeng's strength has obviously become stronger again!
What did he experience in La Liga this year?
De Bruyne is actually not clear about it, and what he knows is probably nothing more than media reports.
Everyone has limited energy and it is impossible to play their own games and watch other people's games.
Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are in hand-to-hand tug-of-war most of the time in the game.
The muscular midfield confrontation makes the scene more British.
England teams are good at confrontation where every inch of land is a fierce style that never shrinks.
It is difficult to avoid collisions and frictions. Since it is the Champions League semi-final, they will restrain their movements and avoid cards as much as possible. Even if they get angry due to collisions, they will calmly restrain themselves.
In the 14th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng advanced rapidly in the middle of the front court, stopped in front of Fernando and made a move. Fernandinho rushed to attack, and he immediately hit the ball across the left.
When Saul rushed to pick him up, Ye Yifeng was already running forward.
When Saul passed the ball diagonally, Ye Yifeng was intercepted by Belgian central defender Kompani as soon as he stopped the ball. He pushed the ball to the right like a dragonfly. When his body changed direction and tried to break through, he collided with Kompani. Kompani bounced Ye Yifeng slightly, but Ye Yifeng stood firm in the center of gravity of his body and suddenly exerted force to continue rushing forward. Kompani's speed was a little unsatisfied.
But he was experienced and fell to the ground and put the ball on the left.
Krish controlled the ball from the side, and Ye Yifeng turned around and returned to defense.
Manchester City's fast break, De Bruyne took the initiative to run in the backcourt, stopped and passed, and the football flew to the left of the frontcourt.
When David Silva steadily stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, Simeone was a little unable to sit still.
The opponent's fast attack speed from the backcourt is not only fast, but also accurate passes can save time. In other words, the time given to Atletico Madrid from defense to offense and defense becomes less.
David Silva encountered a joint blockade between Juan Fran and Gabi when cutting in dribbling, and he passed the ball diagonally from between the two.
Aguero took the initiative to take the run and Godin unexpectedly changed the floor drain ball, and changed from being contacted to hitting the left rib of the penalty area.
Godin quickly retreated, Aguero grabbed the rhythm and trolled the ball and changed direction and cut across. As soon as he shook the angle, he hurriedly completed the shot.
The football flew towards the lower left position in the middle of the goal, and goalkeeper Oblak steadily confiscated the ball.
In the 18th minute of the game, De Bruyne passed the ball from the midfield all the way back and forth. When he received the pass from Sarnia from the wing and just took a step forward in the front court, Ye Yifeng accelerated from the side and rushed from behind to try to block the ball.
De Bruyne's body tilted slightly to the front right, so he would not be able to stabilize the center of gravity, but Fernandez followed him forward and stretched his legs to block it, causing him to turn to the ground.
De Bruyne, who was rolling on the ground, immediately stood up and turned his head to see that the person who had just hit him was Ye Yifeng. He stood up and walked towards Ye Yifeng with anger.
"Do you want me to be hurt?"
"Kevin, you're not so vulnerable."
"This is not the reason you just fouled me with your teammates!"
"Strictly speaking, I didn't have fouls in my movements!"
"But you must know what he will do, right? Why? You know that he will foul me after hitting me, and I'm likely injured! Why?"
Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne faced each other in a tit-for-tat way. De Bruyne looked excited, but Ye Yifeng was serious and obvious.
The referee had already blew his whistle, but both of them turned a deaf ear.
Fernandinho and Fernando walked quickly from behind Ye Yifeng, and Gabi, Saul, Cork, Godin and others also trotted from different directions behind De Bruyne.
It seems that teammates have their heads on both sides to support their star.
But at the same time, De Bruyne and Ye Yifeng made the same moves.
Ye Yifeng raised his hands and signaled his teammates not to get close.
De Bruyne expressed his expression and raised his hand to point at Fernandinho.
"Don't come over!"
"Return!"
It's not the other person's turn to get involved in the matter between them.
They can solve it themselves.
Both teams stopped and felt uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that one of these two people had almost knocked over the other.
They all have to doubt whether both of them are undercover.
Manchester City and Atletico Madrid fans were confused.
But fans who supported the two of them all the way from Wolfsburg understood very well.
