Chapter 532: Alive!

In the match between Manchester City and Ajax, given that Manchester City were already leading by a large margin with some time to go before the end of the game, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was completely distracted from watching his team's game, and he and his colleagues in the coaching staff were all focused on the remote Iberian Peninsula.

Manchester City won this game against Ajax and reached 10 points, but this will not ensure that Manchester City will qualify, and it will depend on the result of Real Madrid's home match against AC Milan.

Real Madrid is indeed stronger than AC Milan, but, given that there are a number of players suspended on Real Madrid's side, AC Milan is not out of the possibility of taking three points from the Bernabeu.

Before this game, AC Milans had eight points, so as long as AC Milan wins, they will be able to advance.

Manchester City and Ajax ended the game with a seven-one deficit at a time when Real Madrid and AC Milan were just entering stoppage time.

'How long is stoppage time?' Mancini asked.

"Two minutes!" said Sogliano, who had been listening to the broadcast of the Real Madrid and AC Milan match with headphones on.

"Damn. Mancini cursed, saying that in his opinion, two minutes of stoppage time was too short and that if he had the option he had, he would have liked it to be ten minutes, or more precisely, until Real Madrid scored.

Because, on that field, the score is now 0-1, and Real Madrid, which is playing at home, is 0-1 behind anetbsp; It was a desperate situation for City.

If this score ends, AC Milan will join Real Madrid in advancing to the last 16 of the Champions League, while Manchester City will have to be relegated to the Europa League.

After the game here, Manchester City fans did not leave in the stands at Manchester Municipal Stadium, they were also waiting for the results of Real Madrid and AC Milan.

At this moment, the whole stadium is quiet, or it can be said that it is silent, and the silence is depressing.

As for the away team Ajax, their players have long since left the pitch, and this game, this night, is an unforgettable nightmare and scar for them. They left the field as soon as the whistle blew at the end of the game.

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid City, Spain.

AC Milan coach Allegri breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fourth official on the sidelines put up an electronic sign showing two minutes of stoppage time for the game.

The game finally lasted until the last minute, and as long as Milan held on for two more minutes, the game was won, and AC Milan were able to squeeze out Manchester City and advance to the round of 16.

In this game, AC Milan was quite lucky, not long after the game started, it took a one-0 lead with Pato's goal, after the lead, AC Milan decisively played the banner of defensive counterattack, and then in the game, the home team Real Madrid can be said to have formed a siege for AC Milan, however, the tenacious Italian team has been stunned to hold on until now, although it is very embarrassing, but, without conceding a goal, they are still 1-0 ahead of La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Allegri also knew that his team played a messy and even a little embarrassing today, but in any case, he and his team were able to pass the test......

Unexpectedly, it was not until the last game of the group stage, or even the last few minutes, that AC Milan ensured to advance to the knockout round, and Allegri couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It's really a group of death...... Previously, when the young captain of Manchester City said that this group was the group of death, he was ridiculed by the Italian media, thinking that Manchester City was asserting his identity, and in the eyes of the Italians, AC Milan had no problem qualifying from this group, and this group would not pose a threat to AC Milan either Manchester City or Ajax...... Although Allegri did not say these words in public, he also agreed with this point of view in his heart, thinking that AC Milan was not a big problem in qualifying from the group, but he didn't expect to play so hard in the group stage, Manchester City let him and anetbsp; At this time, on the pitch, an AC Milan player fouled Mesut Ozil, and Real Madrid got a free kick opportunity from a distance of about 278 meters from the goal.

Allegri noticed that the referee was already looking at his watch, and it looked like the referee would blow the whistle for the end of the game after Real Madrid's free-kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo walked up, wrapped the ball in his jersey, wiped it down, then put the ball at the penalty spot and stepped back.

Place your left foot in front of you, then take five steps backwards, then move one step to the left to allow angle for your shot. Focus, legs apart, arms down your body, breathe deeply.

The camera gives a close-up of the Portuguese star, who gritted his teeth and looked straight at him with a resolute gaze; The referee's whistle sounds.

Cristiano Ronaldo started slowly with broken steps, approached the ball, picked up his right foot, and pumped it directly into the middle and lower part of the ball.

The soccer ball flies up, in an arc.

It's like a rainbow!

AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati chased the ball with his eyes, he flew to pounce, and when he noticed the ball approaching the goal, his whole expression was desperate......

The ball fell, swept past Abbiati's right hand and flew into the net.

The entire Bernabeu stadium was boiling at this moment, and everyone stood up and cheered for this beautiful goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood in place, with his arms outstretched, leaning back slightly, smiling proudly and proudly, to welcome his teammates as they ran in celebration.

The camera quickly switched, and on the coach's bench of Real Madrid, Mourinho smiled slightly and applauded the ball.

In the AC Milan coach's seat, Allegri's expression froze and became a bigger embarrassment!

And on the field, the AC Milan players were also stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes, they couldn't believe all this, when they saw the football in the net, saw Real Madrid celebrate the goal, heard the referee's whistle to signal the goal to be effective, and saw the gesture that the goal was effective, the AC Milan star finally had to admit this result: the score was equalized, which also means that they were eliminated!

Almost at the same time, the referee, after confirming that the goal was valid, followed by the whistle blowing for the end of the game.

Back in Manchester, Manchester City Municipal Stadium.

As time went on, Mancini's heart grew colder and he knew his side might have to go to the Europa League.

At this moment, a scream rang out in a corner of the stands, and then this scream seemed to spread, and more screams rang out, and finally converged into a torrent of crazy sound!

At this time, the live radio of Manchester City Stadium sounded, and the announcer of the stadium was heard hoarse, with a crying roar, this is a wild roar.

"1-1!1-1!1-1!Real Madrid equalized at the last minute!Wonderful free-kick!Goal-in-goal!Cristiano Ronaldo's goal!I love you, Portuguese!Hooray, hooray!!

At this moment, the entire Manchester Municipal Stadium burst into a loud sound like a volcano erupting suddenly. Everyone jumped up from their seats, countless pairs of arms stretched high into the sky, and everyone shouted, "Hooray!!"

"Ten points! We have ten points! AC Milan is nine points! Now, it's us who advance!" the voice on the radio continued to roar, in fact, without him, everyone understood that the points that could qualify had been calculated countless times by countless fans.

The whole stadium was completely boiling at the moment, all the Manchester City players were running like crazy, and all the fans were crazy.

If it weren't for the prescient prescient transfer of almost half of the city's police force here before the game, I am afraid that the Manchester City players would no longer be able to thank the crowd comfortably on the field, and they would have been rushed in by the excited Manchester City fans and stripped of everything that could.

Don't say that Manchester City is small, don't say that Manchester City has not seen the big world, for a traditional middle and lower team, a team that has not played in the Champions League for half a century, the appearance in the Champions League after half a century, to be able to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League after the group stage is a great achievement, this is a great achievement, this is an achievement that is enough to make fans proud and excited and unable to sleep!

You know, in the group where AC Milan is located, there are Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Ajax, the first two are the teams with the most Champions League titles and the second most, and Ajax is also the team that has won the European Championship twice.

The Manchester City players wore the blue flag of Manchester City and sang and danced around the pitch. Many of them are in the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time, and they are certainly even more excited.

Mancini was also celebrating, jumping on the sidelines with excitement.

After the celebration, when he calmed down a little, it was only then that Mancini felt that his back was already covered with sweat. The Manchester City team can be said to be a real escape from death, almost their entire body has been hanging from the cliff, only one finger grabbed a piece of grass on the cliff, and finally climbed up, this is definitely the craziest escape from death.

Mancini also lost his strength at this time, and sat down in his chair, not relieving himself for a long time.

Although the process is thrilling and heart-wrenching, as long as you live, it is the best result. Because, being alive is more important than anything else.

Manchester City is alive, but AC Milan have to swallow the bitter pill. However, this is not something that he Mancini has to care about, anyway, he used to be the head coach of Inter Milan, and AC Milan is a natural opposite, and he will not feel sorry for stepping on the corpse of AC Milan to advance.

In this case, the 2O1O2O11 UEFA Champions League group stage schedule is over, and the Group G matches are all over.

In this group, Real Madrid won the group.

Manchester City finished second in the group and surprised everyone with a blue moon in the Champions League after half a century.

Seven-time European champions and veteran Italian giants AC Milan finished third in the league and could only deign to play in the relegation and Europa League.

Two-time Champions League winner Ajax finished bottom of the group, which is the most tragic Champions League journey in history.

On this night, half of Manchester becomes the city that never sleeps, and Manchester City fans hang out from bar to bar, sipping, clinking glasses, and toasting!

And on this night, Yang Fan's recovery surgery also started as planned, Yang Fan was a little nervous, the results of the operation determined the recovery, and also determined whether he could add his own injury recovery process through the superstar system.

Fortunately, he has learned that the team squeezed out AC Milan, the process was difficult but the result was perfect to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League, which made Yang Fan a lot happier in his heart, and he was able to continue to pursue the Champions League journey with the team. Keep moving.

Of course, at this time, Yang Fan hopes that the operation will be smooth and perfect, and that he can shorten the recovery time through the system and be able to play the Asian Cup smoothly.

In fact, just before Yang Fan's injury, Manchester City FC was in a lawsuit with the Chinese Football Association.

The Chinese Football Association hopes that Manchester City can let Yang Fan report to the national team on December 12, that is, after playing the 17th round of the English game, he will return to the national team, which also means that Yang Fan's return to Manchester City will be after mid-to-late January next year.

The reason why the Chinese Football Association did this is because Yang Fan is now the most important player in the Chinese team, and they hope that Yang Fan and the national team can train together more and cooperate and cultivate a tacit understanding, which can ensure the team's combat effectiveness in the Asian Cup.

The idea of the Chinese Football Association is good, but Manchester City is unwilling, why should Yang Fan return to the national team so early? After all, Yang Fan is a Manchester City player, he signed a contract with Manchester City, and he received Manchester City's salary, and it is natural to play for Manchester City.

Did your Chinese Football Association give Yang Fan a penny? Why did you want Yang Fan to go to the national team so early?

According to FIFA regulations, the club only needs to release the national team three days in advance to participate in friendly matches and warm-up matches. In the case of official competitions, they will be released one week in advance. If it is a large-scale competition such as the Asian Cup and the World Cup, it will be released 15 days in advance. Therefore, the Manchester City team means that at least Yang Fan will not report to the national team until December 20th.

Of course, the Chinese Football Association disagrees, and they can't wait for Yang Fan to return to the team as soon as possible, so the two sides have been fighting a war of words.

However, this war of words came to an abrupt end when Yang Fan was injured in the match with Bolton.

Yang Fan is injured, and it is initially estimated that he will be absent for two months, and now it is not a matter of when to report back to the national team, and he will not be able to play in the Asian Cup at all.

Well, don't argue.

Of course, the Chinese Football Association is angry, and they are even more angry now, accusing Manchester City of not protecting and taking care of Yang Fan, look, look, get injured, if Yang Fan is released to the national team earlier, how can there be such an unlucky thing.

Manchester City feels very wronged, no one can foresee the injury of the player, besides, Yang Fan is injured, the biggest loss is Manchester City, Manchester City is the most unwilling to see such a thing raw, become, take 10,000 steps back, even if Yang Fan is not injured, it is impossible to report to the national team before the game with Bolton, the Chinese Football Association This is completely an afterthought.

Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese national team, was stupid when he learned that Yang Fan was injured and would be out for two months due to injury, which was the most terrifying news he could hear now!

Because, he is the one who knows the importance of Yang Fan to the Chinese team best, and those people in the Chinese Football Association are thinking about the results that Yang Fan can bring to the national team to ensure their official hats, but Gao Hongbo knows what Yang Fan can bring to the Chinese national team and what he can bring to Chinese football!
