Chapter 027: Opponent Milan! (2nd Update)
At this time, the Champions League quarterfinals have already played the first leg.
Manchester City's opponents are Serie A giants AC Milan.
The first leg between the two sides was at the San Siro, where Manchester City played away and the two sides played out a draw after 90 minutes.
Now, it's the second round of the race.
Before the game, there was a big war of words between the players of the two teams.
The Milan player expressed confidence in knocking out Manchester City in the second leg.
Manchester City said they would step on Milan at home to advance.
The next day, at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, more than 40,000 Manchester City fans joined the team to welcome AC Milan, who threatened to eliminate Manchester City!
Every Manchester City player was cheered on as the live broadcast broadcast of the two sides was announced, and the fans encouraged their players in this way.
Then, when it was the turn to introduce the away team roster, every name drew boos from the City Stadium.
Manchester City fans don't have that much resentment against the AC Milan players, who are actually lying down because of the comments made by the media that support them...... Or rather, because of the big mouth of their teammate Ibrahimovic, you believe you can knock us out? Okay! Wait and see! Wait and see! Wait and see, wait for the spanking.
In response to the boos of the Manchester City fans, the AC Milan fans who came with the team cheered loudly.
Before the game even began, both sides felt a strong smell of gunpowder.
Next, the players of both sides came out, and Yang Fan, as the captain of the team, was at the forefront of the team.
Yang Fan was warmly cheered by all Manchester City fans.
Last season, Yang Fan led Manchester City to win the league championship and two domestic cup titles, and also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
After the start of the game, the two sides basically did not have any tentative contact, and directly started to fight.
Before the game, when everyone analyzed this game, they all thought that Kompany's absence would be a great hidden danger, and who replaced Kompany would be the focus of AC Milan's attack.
The competition was fierce, with young centre-back Stephen Savage, who replaced Vincent Kompany, indeed a key target for AC Milan.
Compared to Colo Toure next to him, Savage does look much easier to deal with.
With such a fierce attack at the beginning of the game, Savage was a little nervous.
It was his first appearance for Manchester City, after all...... And it's also a Champions League knockout game.
In the fourteenth minute, when Pato was about to break through from his side, he tackled Pato, gave him a free kick and was awarded a yellow card.
The television broadcast gave Savage a close-up, and in the close-up, Savage had a somewhat serious expression.
"He's so nervous......" said narrator John Mortenson.
"The first time I played for Manchester City, it was in the Champions League, or in the knockout stage, and it was inevitable to be nervous against the experienced AC Milan who were against them...... Allegri must have seen this as well, so he has been listed as a key target for AC Milan's breakthrough. Fifteen minutes have passed since the start of the first half, and the vast majority of AC Milan's attacks have been concentrated on Savic's side. Gary Lineker said.
Yang Fan came back from the front court and came next to Savage, and as a captain he had to care about every one of his teammates, especially after they had a problem.
For the head coach to send Savage, who is only 21 years old and has never played before, Yang Fan is a little incomprehensible to be honest, but as the captain of the team, he must do his part to encourage and support this young teammate.
He patted Savage on the shoulder, and Savage turned his head to look at Yang Fan as if he had been awakened.
"Take it easy, Stephen. Yang Fan said.
After seeing that it was Yang Fan, Savage hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, captain, I ......"
"No big deal. Yang Fan did not let him continue to apologize, but waved his hand. "Take it easy. ”
"I'm here, what are you afraid of!" he patted Savage on the shoulder again, turned and ran away.
Savage looked at Yang Fan's back, I don't know why, hearing the captain's words, especially the last sentence 'I am here, what are you afraid of', Savage's nervousness has been alleviated to a certain extent.
Savage began to take deep breaths, one bite at a time, and when he took a third deep breath, his heart, which had been beating fast, had calmed down.
The foul was committed by Savic about 34 metres from the goal, to the right, and it was a more dangerous free kick spot.
However, AC Milan did not take advantage of the free-kick and Pato's free-kick went over the crossbar.
The stands rang out with the gloating laughter of Manchester City fans.
The AC Milan players didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't a big deal not to go through the free-kick, the game had just begun, and with seventy-five minutes to go, they had time to completely crush Savic.
Naturally, the goals will come in a steady stream.
But not long after the game resumed, they were the first to lose their goal......
In the twentieth minute, Manchester City's attack got up front, Dzeko's shot in the box was broken up by AC Milan's Thiago Sill, Nasri broke the ball back in the midfield, organized the attack again, and the football was quickly passed to the feet of Yang Fan.
After Yang Fan got the ball, he didn't want to break into the penalty area, nor did he want to cross the bottom, he just made a feint to go down, and then knocked the football to the middle with the heel of his right foot.
The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiatiten was in the air, stretched out his arms and pounced on the football.
But Yang Fan's corner kick was too tricky, aiming at the far end of the goal, Abbiati tried his best to save, but he couldn't touch the football, the football bypassed his ten fingers, and then ...... Slammed it on the beam!
With a bang, the ball bounced out again.
The AC Milan fans at the scene and in front of the TV had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the football was broken up by Sil.
The clearance didn't kick the ball far.
Manchester City's Silva came up with a kick.
Football hit the Milan defenders.
Refraction occurs again.
Yang Fan rushed up and followed up with another shot, and this time the ball flew to the goal where it should have been!
And flew in.
"Ball...... The ball is in!!" John Mortenson was stunned for a moment, then raised his arms and shouted.
When I saw the football hit the crossbar and pop up, everyone was still regretting it, and then David Silva's shot was blocked, at this time, Yang Fan shot again, and the goal finally scored!
Manchester City have three shots in a row!
The goal has finally been scored!
"Milan's luck was already good, Abbiati didn't pounce on the ball, the ball hit the crossbar, Thiago Silva's subsequent clearance was cut off again, David Silva's shot was deflected again, it was off target, but Yang Fan followed up and completed the continuation of the shot......" Gary Lineker said with a smile next to him. "After a series of shots, Milan's goal was finally breached......"
After Yang Fan saw the football fly into the goal, he also raised his fist and pointed to the sky. Then he was hugged by his excited teammates.
Stephen Savage is a centre-back, so he didn't rush to the front to celebrate, he was alone at the back to celebrate, raising his arms and shouting.
Just now Yang Fan patted him on the shoulder and said that there was nothing to worry about, let him relax, is this his proof?
With such a great captain, what are you worried about?
AC Milan were hit hard by the goal, and the hardest hit was their defender Thiago Silva, who is considered one of the best defenders in football today, but he didn't go far to give City the chance to continue attacking.
Silva was annoyed.
However, in fact, he has done well enough, and Silva's timely return to the defense just now is the key, but he was a little impatient to clear the siege due to Yang Fan's threat.
Allegri rushed to the sidelines, although he also felt helpless and regretful for conceding the goal, but now is not the time to be frustrated, the game has only started twenty minutes, there are still 70 minutes, there is still time.
Because this game is an away game, it is actually beneficial for Milan, they only need to score, get away goals, and occupy the advantageous situation of promotion.
Moreover, Allegri looked into the field, he couldn't understand why Mancini would send a young defender like Savic, isn't this clearly a target?!
Allegri doesn't know what Mancini thinks, but he knows that Savic will be the gateway to Milan's goals.
So he roared loudly from the sidelines to cheer the players up.
"Keep hitting that little bit!!"
Allegri shouted from the sidelines.
At the same time, the finger is pointed at Stephen Savic, the 21-year-old Montenegrin centre-back, who will be the absolute breakthrough for AC Milan today.
If he could, he would even like to put a striking mark on Savic's head, so that the AC Milan players can look up and see the weaknesses in City's backline when they play on the pitch.
Allegri's roar gave the AC Milan players a boost of fighting spirit and confidence, recovering from the panic of conceding a goal.
That's right, the coach is right, Savic, a rookie, is their goal channel!
As long as they keep attacking here, they can definitely score!
