One-to-one!

Thirty-five minutes into the game, Yang Fan scored!

Manchester's Etihad Stadium is boiling. Everyone chanted the name of the goal-scorer at the same time.

"Yang Fan!"

"Yang!"

"Well done, Captain!"

Mancini, who had been standing on the sidelines, had been nervous, and there was nothing to do, clenched his fists with both hands and jumped up. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief...... A 1-1 draw at half-time is perfectly acceptable for Manchester City, and of course, the first half is not over yet.

Beside him, City's bench was huddled, and the goal came too late! They would have to go into the break with a score of 0-1, which would have a huge impact on Manchester City's morale and the trend of the whole game.

Yang Fan's goal was not only an equalizer, but more importantly, he greatly boosted the team's morale!

"Yang Fan's individual performance! Well done! He taught Napoli one thing---- nothing can stop him from scoring! This killer on the pitch, the best striker in football today, he always has a way to pry open the opponent's closed door and bring goals to the team!"

"Yang Fan! His goal! 1 to 1! He is in excellent form. Despite the opponent's strict defense against him, he still used his goals to tell everyone that he couldn't stop him!"

"A wonderful goal!" Yang Fan's solo performance! 1-1! Manchester City equalised!"

'It was Manchester City's first goal in the Champions League this season, and sure enough, it was their number one star who scored it, and the City captain stepped up at the crucial moment! ”

The commentators threw every conceivable word of praise at the Chinese striker.

Manchester City's players celebrated on the pitch, while Napoli looked a little frustrated.

Mazari flicked his arm angrily. In his plan, it would be perfect to score one more goal before the end of the first half and go into halftime with a 2-0 lead, so that Napoli would have the game and Napoli would have room to maneuver in the second half.

However, now Napoli have not been able to continue to extend the score, and instead have been scored by Manchester City.

This means that if Napoli can't score another goal before the end of the first half to re-establish their lead, then in the second half, Napoli will have to attack Manchester City again until they establish victory. This means that Napoli will be in a tough battle!

This is clearly something that Mazari has always tried to avoid.

After the restart, the Manchester City players were still immersed in the goal just now, and some were not concentrating, which is what the media has been criticizing Manchester City, this team is always habitually distracted on the pitch and distracted when leading.

Manchester City were distracted, which gave Napoli a chance.

They almost scored again, it was Zuniga pass that tore through the Manchester City defence, Cavani completed a good quality shot on the left side of the penalty area, if it was not for Joe Hart's high concentration and world-class save, and the supplementary Ravic faced the empty goal, actually put the anti-aircraft gun directly, then, by the end of the first half the score would be 1:2.

Napoli coach Mazzari was obviously very unhappy with Ravitch's chance to waste an empty goal, he stood on the sidelines and kept waving his arms, yelling, extremely angry, you know, if this ball is scored, it will mean a lot to Napoli, and it may even determine the outcome and trend of the game!

Ravitch, who was roaring at him, turned gray, and he knew that he had just wasted that opportunity, and the manager was unhappy.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score of the first half did not change again, and the scoreboard at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester:

Manchester City 1:1 Napoli!

The goals for Manchester City and Napoli were Yang Fan and Hamsik!

At half-time, Napoli manager Mazzari returned to the dressing room before the whistle blew, suggesting that he was not happy with his team's performance in the first half.

Roberto Mancini's expression was much better, and it was not easy for the team to equalise in a passive situation and to be able to keep the score 1-1 at the end of the first half. When Ravic made a stop-up shot, Roberto Mancini thought that Napoli must have the goal, but he didn't expect Manchester City to escape.

In the dressing room of Napoli, the atmosphere is a little depressing, in all fairness, Manchester City is stronger than Napoli, it stands to reason that the score of 1 to 1, Napoli should be satisfied, but, don't forget, specific to the first half of this game, Napoli has always taken the initiative, in this case, was equalized by Manchester City, the players are understandably in a bad mood.

'I wasn't happy with the score in the first half because it wasn't commensurate with your performance and we deserved to take the lead. "You're all professional players and you should understand the impact of a half-time lead on the whole game. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the player.

Swept by his eyes, Ravitch did not dare to make eye contact with the manager.

"Don't think about the goal. Apart from that goal, you played well in the first half. "Mazari knows that enough is enough.

'What makes me unhappy is that we could have scored more goals but we didn't take some of the chances. "In the second half, I don't want to see that again. ”

On the other hand, in Manchester City's dressing room, head coach Roberto Mancini is also arranging the tactics for the second half.

'Napoli look like they have a lot of ideas, they want to win at our home stadium, so they will be even more attacking in the second half than in the first half, so I want to remind you to watch your cards in the second half. You need to be smarter when it comes to the choice of fouls. Robert Mancini said.

'Mazzari's team are attacking and they are very active on the flanks and in the second half you will have a lot of pressure defensively. He pointed to Zabaleta and Frenkie de Jong, both of whom and Klich had yellow cards, as well as the team's two full-backs and midfielders, which were fatal for the team.

Robert Mancini's tactical arrangement mainly emphasizes how the team defends and how to deal with Napoli's onslaught, but only emphasizes the speed and efficiency of the counterattack, and does not say too much about the requirements for attack. Manchester City's counter-attacking tactics have long been familiar to the players, and they don't need to explain too much.

After the start of the second half, Napoli's attack was indeed stronger.

Mazzarri chose the right side of Manchester City as a breakthrough, because of the left side of Napoli, Maggio has a strong ability to assist, Ravic is also active on that side, Zuniga can also come over to help, this way is very attacking.

Napoli stepped up their attack on the left, with Maggio being more active than in the first half, rushing up to assist and not even going back after one attack, just waiting for a second chance to attack.

Ravic is constantly cutting from the flanks to the middle in an attempt to break down the Manchester City defence. Put pressure on the likes of Zabaleta and Kolotourre.

After the start of the second half, Mazzari keenly realized that Manchester City did not want to press out against Napoli, and once again conveyed to the team the tactical adjustment of the attack intensity.

Since Manchester City is so conservative, then Napoli can attack even more recklessly.

I have to say that at halftime, Robert Mancini emphasized that Manchester City's players who received yellow cards should pay attention to their actions when defending, which is not to say that it is okay, after saying that, Manchester City's players did not dare to make too many moves on defense, and became a little shrunken.

When Zabaleta was defending Ravich, he wanted to steal as soon as possible, but he was afraid that his action would be too big and he would be whistled for a foul, so he hesitated for a moment before grabbing.

On the commentary bench, Lineker suddenly said to Mortensen, "Notice no, Manchester City's defense is not as decisive as in the first half." ”

"I'm afraid to eat cards. Mortenson said.

Napoli's offensive was strong.

"Hamshik - he receives a pass from Zuniga - shoots from distance - Joe Hart hits the ball out - Cavani shoots again!"

"Zuniga! His pass - Inler's header!

"Maggio's shot!" Joe Hart...... Nice save!"

'Cavani's header Joe Hart huddled. He was brilliant today, but if Manchester City had been so passive, it would have been a matter of time before they conceded!"

"Maggio, he's dribbling the ball - passing! Cavani! This big man actually **** stopped the ball and shot straight at goal...... Joe Hart soared into the air and lifted the ball off the crossbar!"

"Corner, tactical corner!Zuniga pass - Cavani shoots!Blocked!Maggio shoots again!Blocked again!Ravic passes the ball into the box!Kompany!oooo - his header clears, almost own, Joe Hart subconsciously blocks it, Napoli get corners in a row!"

Zuniga took a corner kick, Hamshik and Kompany grabbed the point together, neither of them grabbed it, the football flew to the back point, Cavani padded it with his knee and was waited for by Joe Hart!

I have to say, fortunately, Joe Hart was in quite good shape in this game. At the start of the second half, he became the busiest man, and he was busy with high and low blocks. Finally, the Manchester City gate is not lost.

However, despite Joe Hart's impressive performances, Napoli fans and commentators are still bullish on Napoli. Because blindly defending will not work, no matter how well the goalkeeper plays, it is just a passive defense. There is no unbreakable defense in this world, and after a long time, Joe Hart is not a god, and he can always keep the door open.

Roberto Mancini was on the sidelines, his expression was serious, he kept making gestures, which was a gesture asking everyone to return to the defense and participate in the defense, and the team was almost completely offensive at this time, almost an iron bucket formation.

"Manchester City, in this game, they can't even get a draw. Lineker said.

'Manchester City are in jeopardy right now and they have to respond!'

"What about Yang Fan? At this time, Manchester City needs someone to stand up, someone needs to make trouble for Napoli!

Yang Fan is in a very bad mood now, the team is completely passive, and he has to return to the half court to assist in the defense, which makes him a little helpless.

Defense can never solve the problem, the only way to win is to attack!

Mazzari was pleased with his team's performance, waving his hand from the sidelines, signaling his team to continue to step up their attack and try to score early.

The Napoli players seemed to have received a signal that they were attacking more aggressively.

"Edinson Cavani's shot was denied by Manchester City again, how long can they hold on?"

"Kompany kicked the ball forward. Yaya Toure got the ball and he was looking up to see the situation...... Manchester City need to take a break, they have been too passive for a while. ”

As he spoke, Yaya Toure passed the football to Nasri in front of him.

At this time, in front, Nasri is on the left, Nasri is very close to Aguero, Yang Fan is close to the middle, the three are the most advanced people in the Manchester City team, and the other players, even Yaya Toure and David Silva are in their own half.

Sergio Aguero dribbled the ball along the flanks and, after attracting Aronica's defence, passed it to Aguero, who pulled the ball and turned around before suddenly splitting it.

In front of the penalty area, Yang Fan got the ball!

Seeing Yang Fan get the ball, everyone became nervous.

Yang Fan's threat, needless to say!

What's more, Yang Fan has already scored a goal in the first half of the game to show everyone that he is in good shape now!

Letting Yang Fan get the ball near the penalty area is a great threat in itself.

Campagnaro came out to defend.

Yang Fan faced Campagnaro, unhurried, he played with the ball at his feet, suddenly pulled the football horizontally, and picked up his right foot at the same time!

"Watch out for his long-range shots!"

"Block him!"

In front of him is Paulo Cannavaro shouting, and in the back is goalkeeper De Sanctis shouting again.

Yang Fan's long-range shooting ability is not bad, everyone knows it.

Everyone focused on Yang Fan's defense, thinking that he was going to shoot from a distance, but ignored Aguero next to him.

It should be said that with Aguero's fame, it should not have been ignored, but there is no way, Yang Fan's threat and prestige are even stronger.

Yang Fan was about to shoot from a distance, but he was originally pumping towards the football's foot shape, but he suddenly changed, changed to stab, and stabbed the football out.

Sergio Aguero was already in place, and then he saw the ball roll over!

Facing the football, Aguero picked up his right foot and rubbed the football up!

He noticed that De Sanctis was standing close to the left side when he was running, and he was thinking about shooting into the top right corner of the goal.

De Sanctis was indeed on the left side, and when he realized that Aguero was going to shoot, his whole body was in the air.

Like a big bird, it pounced on the left side of its body.

De Sanctis was right about the soccer line, he felt his fingertips touch the soccer ball, De Sanctis was overjoyed, he thought he could save the ball!

But the moment the football touched his fingertips, he realized that the football itself had a very strong spin and great power!

With the power of his fingertips alone, he simply couldn't pounce on the football!

Feel a tingling in your fingertips.

Then the ball broke through his fingertips and continued to spin forward, flying into the net!

“！”

"The goal is in, it was Sergio Aguero who scored!"

"Aguero! This time, he took his chance!"

"Good shot! Aguero has scored!"

"It was Sergio Aguero's first goal for Manchester City in the Champions League! 2-1! His goal gave City the lead! It was a surprise! Napoli were always besieging Manchester City, but they always missed the goal!

This time, Aguero shot beautifully, and of course, he had to thank Yang Fan for his pass!"

'Both of City's goals came from quick counter-attacks and they were very efficient on the counter-attack!'

'Sergio Aguero's goal, he has to thank the people who passed the ball to him...... Yang Fan's pass was unusually beautiful! He attracted the attention of Napoli's defence, whether it was Campagnano or Paulo Cannavaro, they all thought Yang Fan was going to shoot from distance at the first time!" Mortensen praised.

When Sergio Aguero saw the football enter the net, he fell into ecstasy, and it was absolutely the most wonderful thing to be able to score a goal in a game on behalf of Manchester City in the Champions League!

Besides, the goal helped City take the lead and maybe even lead to a victory, and Sergio Aguero was of course overjoyed.

He started to run to celebrate the goal, ran two steps, remembered the person who passed the ball to him, and he rushed towards Yang Fan.

"Thank you for the pass. Aguero shouted.

"It was a beautiful shot. Yang Fan also laughed.

While the Manchester City players were celebrating the goal like crazy, the Napoli players had doubts about the Manchester City goal. They believe Sergio Aguero may have been in an offside position when Yang Fan passed the ball.

But, in reality, Aguero was not offside, and when he got the ball, Paulo Cannavaro was not far from him, half a body behind Aguero.

On the sidelines of the dugout, Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini slapped hard and got up from his seat, very excited. It was a goal that was completely unexpected by him. His idea was that it would be nice to be able to hold on to the 1-1 scoreline, and now that he has scored and the score has been overtaken, it is definitely a surprise.

Mazzali waved his hand helplessly, he didn't even know who to be angry at, if it is precise, the biggest responsibility for this conceded goal seems to be himself, he asked the team to press desperately, so as to give Manchester City the opportunity to counterattack, this attack was launched from the left side of the assisted Macho.

Mazzarri looked at the Manchester City players celebrating and was depressed, can he not be depressed...... Because it was the peak of his team's offensive at that time, it seemed that he was only one step away from scoring a goal. Unexpectedly, the Manchester City team was so lucky, scoring with a counterattack and overtaking the score.

"Well done, we're ahead!" the City fans cheered loudly.

Manchester City have been passive since the start of the second half, and fans did not expect the team to be able to use the counter-attack to score a goal.

It was an absolute surprise.

It is precisely because of the accident that I feel particularly surprised and excited.

Manchester City's goal affected the Napoli players a little---- and then their attack was not as fierce as before, because there was always a fear of another sharp counter-attack from Manchester City. Manchester City's attack has been strong for a while, they plan to take the opportunity to score another goal, if they can score another goal, it will be the victory, and, being suppressed by Napoli, finally have the opportunity to attack, and the players are happy.

Unfortunately, they were a little unlucky, and a few shots were sliding past the goal.

Moreover, the Manchester City team's attack also lacks necessary changes, mainly relying on the attack on the side, passing the ball to the penalty area, and using Yang Fan's ability to grab points. This kind of attack is relatively simple, and it is difficult to have any effect for a while.

City were in trouble with their wide attacks, with good headers from Paulo Cannavaro and Campagnaro before turning to the middle, but several crosses from Silva were not ideal, and Napoli managed to defuse them. Withstood Manchester City's comeback.

After that, the game reverted to its previous form---- with Napoli attacking continuously and Manchester City shrinking their defence. However, there were some changes: Napoli began to pay a lot of attention to their rear while attacking, and Maggio and Aronica clearly reduced the number of assists. Manchester City, on the other hand, were more resolute and daring to commit their forces on counter-attacks.

At this time, Mancini also made an immediate adjustment, he allowed the team to invest a certain amount of troops in the attack, hoping to seize the opportunity to score again and seal the victory completely.
