Real Madrid get a corner.

The corner was taken by Mesut Ozil. Some were too close to the goal and were picked up directly by Hart, who went out, and the attack ended without posing any threat to the Manchester City goal.

The pace of the game was still high, with both sides wanting to score first.

This also surprised many fans and the media, Mourinho's team has always played poorly, but today's game was very good, and the attacking system was perfectly played.

Manchester City's attack, Sergio Aguero dribbled the ball up front, and combined forces Marcelo to destroy the ball off the line.

Manchester City won a corner.

Most of City's players went up.

Set-pieces are very good scoring opportunities for the team in the training sessions these days. Tactical drills from set-pieces also accounted for a large proportion.

There were only two people left at the back, one was goalkeeper Hart, who couldn't rush up because of his position, and the other was Colo Toure.

Set-pieces should be a great opportunity for defenders to go up and attack the city, defenders with better headers will go up to participate in the attack of set-pieces, but the back line must also be saved, so Mancini has a rule that every time a corner is taken, four defenders can only go up at most two at the same time. A centre-back stays at the back, while a full-back has to be ready to return in time.

This time it was Colo Toure who stayed behind, while in midfield, Frenkie de Jong had to be ready to be on the lookout for Real Madrid to take advantage of the opportunity to counter-attack.

In addition, Kolarov has to be slightly further back, and the three of them have a layered position to prevent the opponent from moving from any corner of the court.

Colo Toure would have liked to go to the ground, but Kompany's header skills are better than his Liga's, Kompany's taller height, better bounce than him, and a powerful long-range shot, both of whom are better suited than him.

In fact, Colo Toure is also a defender with good header ability, but after he experienced an injury, his form has been up and down, so Mancini is even more afraid to let him go up too far forward, so let him stay behind.

Kolo Toure was naturally envious and depressed, the corner kick was an opportunity for the defender to score, and he could only watch others go up and score in the back......

Colo Toure sighed and turned his attention back to Real Madrid. He's looking at the selection of every Real Madrid player and seeing who is most likely to hit the counter-attack.

Now only Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two most suspects.

He paid attention to his position and leaned in the middle. De Jong should be able to intercept well in front of him, which buys him time, so he is not particularly worried.

The referee blew the whistle and City took a corner.

Silva passed the ball into the box, Yaya Toure and Kompany did not get the ball, Yang Fan managed to grab the header under the bag of many Real Madrid players, but he could not get the angle of the ball, and Caricias punched the ball out.

The football was quickly diverted to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, and Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack!

"Defend yourself!" shouted Colopture, who was at the back of the room. Waved his teammates back to defend while he himself began to step back.

Cristiano Ronaldo drove forward with the ball and knew he would have to face a block from Frenkie de Jong near the centre circle.

Frenkie de Jong has been outstanding in his seasons at Manchester City, and he has managed to act as a defensive barrier in the midfield.

Serie A giants AC Milan are now on the news that they are looking to buy Frenkie de Jong to replace Dutch veteran Van Bommel who is planning to retire at the end of the season.

Manchester City coach Mancini was full of praise for the Dutch warrior when asked by the media about the topic of De Jong, but he did not say that he would definitely leave De Jong, which also gave the media more room for reverie.

Therefore, when Kolo Toure saw De Jong coming up, he was more relieved.

Colo Toure still hopes that Cristiano Ronaldo can be stopped by De Jong in the front, because once Cristiano Ronaldo breaks through De Jong, then Colo Toure will have to face Cristiano Ronaldo, he is the last defender, and it will be troublesome if this line of defense is lost again, so the pressure on Colo Toure is also great. The pressure on the last central defender to play one-on-one with the opposing attacking player is too much, not to mention that this person is a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo!

De Jong looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was running towards him, and he was wondering where the Portuguese star would break through......

De Jong did not rush to rob, he fought and retreated.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a move, and De Jong had to shift his weight over, although he guessed that it might be a cover, however, he didn't dare not move, because Cristiano Ronaldo would be bad if the fake play was real.

Sure enough, Cristiano Ronaldo's feet moved quickly, he saw that De Jong's center of gravity was brought by himself, and his feet immediately crossed over, immediately turning the football in the opposite direction, and at the same time accelerating with his feet, wanting to break through from this side.

Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo was about to burst past De Jong's side.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were excited, while the Manchester City fans were worried.

At this moment, Kompany, Zabaleta and others are still on the way back to defense, and they can't help the defense at all, that is to say, only De Jong and Colo Toure can stop Cristiano Ronaldo!

Once De Jong is lost here, then Kolo Toure will be in trouble.

At this time, for De Jong, if De Jong decisively fouls, it should be the wisest choice, and a yellow card to end a dangerous attack of the opponent is quite cost-effective. However, there is a certain amount of risk, if the manager is in a bad mood, or thinks that De Jong's action is too big, a red card is also possible. It's just that this probability is relatively low, after all, De Jong is not the last defender, and he still has Kolo Toure behind him.

De Jong saw that Cristiano Ronaldo was in front of him, so close that there were countless ways for Cristiano Ronaldo to stop here if he wanted to...... That's a decisive tactical foul!

Foul. The word flashed through his mind, and if he fouled, he would definitely have to take a card. Although a yellow card is the most likely, however, De Jong has to consider the small chance of being shown a red card, he is thinking about whether to take a risk, in addition, even if he only eats a yellow card, then in the later games, De Jong will be in great trouble, his style of play, and the role he plays in the defense of the Manchester City team, all mean that he will be particularly hard, need to fight with the opponent hand-to-hand, so once he carries a yellow card, how to play in the following games?

So, De Jong was a little hesitant about the pros and cons of his foul on the crossbar!

It didn't matter if he hesitated, and by the time he finally made up his mind to foul, he had already missed the opportunity, and Cristiano Ronaldo was extremely fast, and at this time he was out of his defensive range!

At this point, De Jong has no chance even if he wants to foul!

His hesitation allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to continue with the ball successfully, and now, Real Madrid's Portuguese star has only one defender in front of him.

Colo Toure saw Cristiano Ronaldo break through from De Jong, and he could only bite the bullet at this time. At the same time, in his heart, Kolo Toure did not mean to complain about his teammate De Jong, if De Jong had committed a decisive foul just now, this threat would have been lifted long ago.

Cristiano Ronaldo has only one interceptor in front of Ronaldo!

The stands resounded with the loud cheers of the Real Madrid fans.

It's a great goalscoring situation.

Cristiano Ronaldo, as one of the best stars on the planet, is naturally undoubted, and such a great opportunity for Real Madrid fans to see the opportunity to score.

"Manchester City are facing the biggest crisis since the start of the game!"

"What a fucking bastard! De Jong, what are you idiots doing?!" Just because Kolo Toure didn't scold doesn't mean no one scolds. The furious Yaya Toure was still chasing back at this time, seeing this situation, he really wanted to rush up and give De Jong who was hesitant just now a punch, did the Dutch just have a brain short circuit?! This does not fit De Jong's personality, go up and shovel directly without saying a word This is your De Jong's style, why don't you foul?!

De Jong, who missed the foul opportunity, is still chasing back, although he is desperately chasing back, but he is not good at it, how can he catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo?

Colo Toure suddenly saw Cristiano Ronaldo, who was bowing his head and dribbling the ball, looking up at Benzema on the right, and he was startled, could it be that Cristiano Ronaldo was going to pass the ball?

Just, Does Cristiano Ronaldo pass the ball?

When he was hesitating, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball!

Colo Toure cursed in his heart, and he immediately pounced on Benzema.

Benzema received the football.

Almost as soon as Colo Toure pounced on Benzema, Benzema passed the ball again and he kicked the ball sideways.

This is?!

Colo Toure turned his head to look and saw Cristiano Ronaldo speeding up to catch up with the football!

Bastard!

These two guys hit two against one, and they also played a wall-hitting cooperation.

Colo Toure had no other choice, he was like a monkey being walked, and he turned and pounced on Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's just that, at this time, Cristiano Ronaldo has already received the football, he is in front and Colo Toure has been thrown behind him.

In other words, now Kolo Toure has lost the initiative to defend!

A centre-back, following Cristiano Ronaldo, what else can he do?!

Five, four, three!

Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo was about to enter the penalty area, Colo Toure bit his lip. He knew that now was the last chance, and that was to make a decisive tackle, but if he didn't get the football, it would be a red card! Because he had the goalkeeper and the goal behind him, he was the last defender, and if he fouled, the biggest possibility was a red card.

Cristiano Ronaldo was quick with the ball and was about to enter the box.

Kolotourre's eyes were red, and he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer......

Cristiano Ronaldo was on the verge of going into the box and he was already imagining how to shoot in a crucial one for Real Madrid. This is Manchester City's home stadium and this goal will help Real Madrid to score an away goal, and maybe even a crucial goal that will determine the outcome of the game...... Moreover, thinking that the opponent is Yang Fan's team and he can score first for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo's happiness is even better!

Cristiano Ronaldo took a look at the goalkeeper and Joe Hart had already dropped the shot.

Hanging door?!

Cristiano Ronaldo thought of this in his mind, but he himself denied this plan, because the distance from the goalkeeper is a little close, if you want to hang the goal, it is more difficult, if you waste this opportunity to score, who will he talk to?!

So, Cristiano Ronaldo immediately made the decision, dribbled the ball, shook the goalkeeper and hit the empty goal.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly felt that his center of gravity was gone, and then, because of inertia, he plunged headlong into the penalty area!

Behind the Portuguese star, who fell to the ground like a tree that had been cut down by a bald head, was Colo Toure, who fell to the ground and flew out on his legs......

Vincent Kompany, the heart of Manchester City's defense and the team's vice-president, who was desperately chasing back, suddenly stopped, and he watched the scene in front of him in amazement.

Toure shoveled?!

He let go of the shovel!

Here it is: This is ...... Shovel people behind your back.

"Toot ——!" At this time, the referee's whistle sounded violently, and he ran towards the foul site. At the same time, his hand reached into his breast pocket.

Yang Fan was also stunned when he saw this scene near the middle circle.

Of course, he knew what the outcome of Kolo Toure's behind-the-back tackle would be: a red card! The most possible, if not the only, is a red card!

Damn it!

Why did Colo Toure foul at this time? Why did he foul behind his back?!

Yang Fan's face changed, he picked up his speed and ran to the place of the foul, as the captain of the team, he had to negotiate with the referee on behalf of the team, although Yang Fan himself knew that his protest and negotiation would not change the referee's decision at all.

However, if he doesn't do something, he is unwilling!

This is also the job that the captain should do.
