Chapter 120: Recognize the reality
Break through Sissoko's glory and head straight to the penalty area.
Lyon seemed to be inadequate for Sissoko to break through with glory so easily.
They were stunned for a moment before they rushed towards glory.
But they overreacted.
Everyone has only glory in their eyes, but they have temporarily ignored other Manchester City players.
After Rongguang broke into the penalty area, he was not greedy for merit. He keenly realized the opportunity in the middle, so he pushed the football into the middle.
What Berbatov has to do is very simple - slow down while running, problem body posture, then turn the ankle of his right foot outward, wave his right leg to the football and swing it from the outside to the inside
The football rolled into the goal just before Loris turned around and rushed over.
"Manchester City only reached the 27th minute in the first half, and they led by two goals."
A storm broke out in the commentary seat again.
"Rong's breakthrough is so beautiful. He took advantage of Sissoko's moves to neatly, so that Sissoko could not break through from this point, Lyon's defense collapsed. The next goal of Berbatov was simply natural..."
"Do you know why many players want to be teammates with Rong? Just because playing football with Rong is really a relaxed and pleasant thing. All you have to do is run to your position and then wait for the goal. After the goal, Berbatov was the first to hug Rong. This is because 90% of the credit for this goal was Rong's face in Lyon. When there were no obvious loopholes in the defense line, Rong broke a hole with his personal ability, which caused the collapse of Lyon's defense line."

After Gorland scored a goal, he fell silent again. This time he was more silent than the first person who lost the ball.
Obviously, everyone knows what it means to concede two goals before the first half is over.
In other games, falling behind two goals in the first half basically means that Lyon will definitely lose...
What's more, they are facing Manchester City, who is good at playing defensively and counterattacking after leading?
Many people have already foreseen the ending of this game - an ending that is not so popular with Lyon fans.
And in those bars in Manchester, the cheers were even louder. Manchester City fans seemed to have seen Manchester City advance to the quarterfinals.
Who will our opponents in the quarterfinals?
It seems that the kicking with Lyon is not strong enough...

Ali Sissoko sat blankly on the ground, watching the Manchester City player celebrating the goal for the second time.
He never expected that he would meet Rongguang and be shaken away by him... In front of him, he didn't even have the power to fight back.
This is wrong, this is wrong... There must be something wrong...
I'm a player I'm attracted to by AC Milan, I shouldn't be so weak
Sissoko was puzzled, but unfortunately no one came to answer his question... Lyon's players were dejected like scarecrows, and they were frustrated by this reality. In this case, who still has the heart to comfort Sissoko?
Besides, if Sissoko was more calm and less likely to make a shot when facing glory, maybe this goal wouldn't have happened. Teammates were somewhat complaining about Sissoko, so how could they come to comfort him?

After Manchester City easily took two goals to lead, the game completely entered Manchester City's pace. If they want to attack, they attack, and if they want to slow down, they slowed down.
And what about Lyon?
Although it was at their home court, they led by two goals less than half an hour after the start of the game. They seemed to be stunned and completely lost the desire and fighting spirit to continue the game.
During the game, they appear to be negative.
Not only them, but also the Lyon fans in the stands were silent.
The so-called terrifying home atmosphere was not able to be created.
This is a joke.
Morale is such a wonderful thing. When you have the upper hand, your morale is like a rainbow, and it seems that no difficulties will be difficult for you. How you play in the game, luck and opportunities are all on your side.
But when the score falls behind, you will instantly fall to the bottom, and all the advantages before will be gone, which is completely opposite to when you gain the upper hand. No matter how hard you try, the advantages are not on your side, and even luck is the same. Opportunities that seem easy to seize will become messed up...
The first half ended and Manchester City was unable to score another goal, but everyone knew that Lyon was finished.
Especially Sissoko, where he is almost the target of Manchester City's key attack. Sissoko's performance after conceding two goals was like a loss.
Not to mention glory, David Silva came a few times, which made him very embarrassed.
He seemed to have lost confidence all of a sudden and would always overreact when facing Manchester City players.

At the end of the first half, players from both sides walked down the court.
Ali Sissoko lowered his head. If there was a crack on the ground at this time, he would have crawled in without hesitation and never wanted to come out again.
He felt that his performance in the first half was simply disastrous.
If the managers of European wealthy families saw his performance like this, they would probably not consider buying themselves at all, right?
When Sissoko thought of this, she wanted to cry.
At this moment, a big hand was pressed on his shoulder.
"What's wrong with you, Alli?" It's Captain Chris.
Sissoko thought the captain was quite annoying before the game and joked that he was too nervous.
But now turning his head to see Chris's face, Sissoko's expression was ugly.
"I'm not too weak, captain?"
When Chris heard him say this, he was stunned at first, and then he realized why Sissoko asked this.
He shook his head: "No, you are not weak, Ali. You are very strong, otherwise you wouldn't be our main left-back. But unfortunately, today you met a stronger opponent... There is nothing to be discouraged. There are not many people in this world who can defend him one-on-one."
Chris is actually telling Sissoko that the glory is very strong, but Sissoko is no longer mocking the captain.
On the contrary, he completely and unconditionally agreed with the captain's evaluation of Rongguang
That's right, it's definitely not that I'm too weak, but that I'm too strong

In the second half, both sides changed sides and fought again, Lyon's performance improved, but Manchester City still controlled the situation. They were very smart and did not get carried away because of their huge advantage in the first half. They were still cautious in the second half.
Resolutely fight the defensive counterattack.
In this way, Lyon basically has no chance.
They dare not put in a big push because then Manchester City's counterattack would directly threaten their goal.
Lyon only went crazy in the last ten minutes.
However, at that time, Manchester City's defense line was already very stable. They withstood Lyon's fierce attack and maintained the lead of two goals until the end
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the score was frozen at 20.
"After the game, Manchester City defeated Lyon 20 away, which was a result that many people did not expect before the game. Everyone thought that both sides should be evenly matched in this game, but they didn't expect that Manchester City defeated Lyon so easily away, which was almost a waste of blood."
"Beating Lyon 20 away and scored two away goals, Manchester City can almost announce that they entered the quarterfinals in advance."
"As a team that will participate in the Champions League again in 40 years, Manchester City's son show performed very well"
Manchester City players rushed into the court and hugged and celebrated the goal with their teammates on the court.
Lyon was stunned, and many of the fans in the stands even left the stadium with their heads down...
As for what Ali Sissoko, no one has ever cared about...

At the post-match press conference, Pierre said somewhat dissatisfied that his team did not lose to Manchester City, but to Glory.
"What's the difference between us and Manchester City? The only difference is that they have honor, but we don't. Yes, it's that simple"
Benitez praised the performance of the whole team. He did not praise Rong Guang extra. He did not even take the initiative to mention Rong Guang's name. He responded only when the reporters asked Rong Guang's name.
The reporters asked him what he said about Pierre.
Benitez said expressionlessly: "Football games have always been collective sports. Manchester City can win, which is bound to be inseparable from every Manchester City player. Rong is naturally a member of Manchester City. I am happy that the team can win."
If you only listen to Benitez's speech at the press conference after each game, you will definitely think that his relationship with Glory is very average.
Because he rarely takes the initiative to praise glory.
This is completely different from Rong Guang when he played for Bayern Munich. Magath's praise for Rong Guang made the media doubt whether Rong Guang was his illegitimate son.
However, the relationship between Rongguang and Benitez is indeed very ordinary, only limited to work relationships. Apart from work, there is no communication or communication between them.
Not only glory, but also other Manchester City players and Benitez.
Benitez doesn't mean to be friends with any Manchester City players, and he doesn't come here to find friends. So he never appears in front of the players during private time. Apart from training, no one knows where he is and what he does.
Benitez's style of dealing with people should make other Manchester City players unwilling to get close to him.
Think about it, even Rongguang doesn’t have any special treatment for him. If he doesn’t perform well, he will be criticized mercilessly. Why do other people still fantasize that they will chat and laugh with Benitez?
