This Champions League group stage will be broadcast live in China, but it is a little late, but there are still many fans who are obsessively in front of the TV, waiting for the start of this Champions League match with three Chinese players.
In the CCTV live broadcast room, He Wei and Xu Yang were the commentators of the game, and only listened to He Wei say: "Audience friends, good evening, this is a game of the Champions League group stage D brought to you by CCTV, and it is also the last game, which is Bayern Munich at home against Manchester City." In the first half, Bayern Munich attacked from the left side of the screen to the right, and Manchester City attacked from the right side of the screen to the left. Wearing a burgundy top and shorts is Bayern at home, and a sky blue top and shorts is Manchester City playing away. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Manchester City defender Keylor Navas's pass to Milner was cleared off the touchline by Thiago, and City were given a throw-in.
"Now to continue with the starting line-up of the two sides, Bayern use a 4141 formation, goalkeeper is No. 1 Loyle, four defenders are No. 21 Lahm, No. 17 Boateng, No. 13 Yan Tao and No. 27 Alaba, midfielder No. 6 Thiago, four midfielders are No. 25 Muller, No. 19 Gotze, No. 39 Kroos and No. 7 Ribery, and the forward is No. 9 Zhang Shujie. ”
Manchester City's formation is 4231, goalkeeper No. 1 Ma Junqiang, defenders No. 2 Richards, No. 26 Demichelis, No. 6 Lescott, No. 13 Kolarov, two midfielders are No. 14 Xavi Garcia and No. 25 Fernandio, three forwards are No. 15 Navas, No. 21 Silva, No. 7 Milner, and forward No. 10 Dzeko. ”
On the pitch, City's first wave of attack was blocked by Boateng and Yan Tao, and the ball was also taken away by Bayern, and the possession was none other than their playmaker in midfield, Tony Kroos.
Kroos avoided Xavi Garcia's interception and looked ahead to see Zhang Shujie running, but there were three Manchester City players within five metres of him, Ribery and Muller had already stepped up front, while Gotze and Thiago were around Kroos, forming an inverted triangle with him.
That's Pep Guardiola's philosophy of football, and whoever the opponent is, will never change the way the triangle is passed.
Kroos saw that he couldn't get the ball to the front, so he gave it to Gotze, but before the ball could reach Gotze's feet, Fernandio stuck behind him, so Gotze didn't stop the ball and knocked it to Thiago.
It didn't go in, but the ball was still on Bayern's side. He Wei said: "Actually, this game is no longer important for Bayern, but for Manchester City, it is very important, they have to beat Bayern Munich to ensure qualification. ”
Xu Yang added: "That's right. And it's also very important for Chinese fans. Although this is not the first time that a Chinese derby has been staged in the Champions League, it is the first time that there has been a derby match between three Chinese players. ”
"Yes, and besides, Chinese fans actually hope that Manchester City can beat Bayern. Because in this way, you will be able to see more Chinese players in the round of 16. ”
"There was an online poll about this game, and the idea of Chinese fans was that Zhang Shujie scored and then Manchester City won. This also shows how much our Chinese fans want to see the captain of the national team appear in the round of 16, after all, Zhang Shujie can already be sure to advance. ”
"This shows the cuteness of Chinese fans. Now look at Bayern's attack. ”
Kroos passed the ball to Zhang Shujie after passing it to his teammates such as Ribery, Thiago, Muller and Gotze. Five minutes into the first half, Zhang Shujie touched the ball for the second time.
There aren't many touches on the ball, but as long as he gets the ball, it means that City's entire back line will be in great danger!
Location, left front of the penalty area, distance, about 30 meters away from the goal. Even if it is so far away, Ma Junqiang still doesn't dare to be careless, he knows Zhang Shujie very well, with Zhang Shujie's skills and archery, he is fully capable of breaking forward another ten meters and eight meters, and this is within his range.
Bayern's number nine didn't have a chance to turn around after receiving the ball, Demichelis pressed him hard behind him, grabbed his shirt with both hands, and reached out from behind to kick his ball. Zhang Shujie stretched his right leg forward, leaned on Demichelis, and protected the ball.
Bayern's four midfielders came up to support, Thiago also came to the midfield, and the full-backs all went up to the vicinity of the midfield to maintain the formation to prevent disconnection.
Garcia was worried that it would be difficult for Demichelis to stare at Zhang Shujie alone, so he came up to help, so Zhang Shujie fell into the defense of two people.
The on-site commentator guessed: "What will Zhang Shujie do with this ball? ”
However, Zhang Shujie did not pass, he looked at his teammates around him, pretended to pass out, and deceived Garcia and Demichelis, but suddenly hooked the ball with the instep of his right foot and hooked it behind him.
The ball landed on the back of Demichelis's body, and at the same time immediately turned and accelerated, at this moment he exerted his powerful explosive power, and in the blink of an eye, he dodged the bag between the two.
"Good ball!" He Wei and Xu Yang praised at the same time. Xu Yang added: "This kind of picking is often seen in some street balls, but it is rare in official competitions, and few players are willing to take such risks. ”
The fans at the scene were also amazed, and even Ma Junqiang secretly cheered for Zhang Shujie.
When Zhang Shujie turned to catch up with the ball, the ball was falling in front of him, but it had not landed, Fernandio stepped forward to defend him, only to see Zhang Shujie gently raise his right foot, pick the ball, he picked the ball a little lower, the ball just crossed the top of Fernandio's head, Zhang Shujie bypassed him, unloaded the ball behind him, looked up, Lescott came up again.
Zhang Shujie made a feint to wipe the ball past Lescott's left, and then took a small step with his left foot and stepped into the penalty area.
He Weisheng said: "The first battle between Zhang Shujie and Ma Junqiang is about to begin!"
Ma Junqiang had already attacked, and shouted in his heart: Come on, Zhang Shujie! Let me save your shot!
In order to prevent the ball from being too big, Zhang Shujie also slowed down after entering the penalty area, Richards took the opportunity to rush from the side, followed by his side, Zhang Shujie squeezed him, picked up his left leg, and pushed the far corner of the goal.
Ma Junqiang, who was attacking, immediately fell to the ground and pounced, flicked the ball with his fingers, changing the trajectory of the ball, and the ball that was originally heading for the goal also slid out of the bottom line from the outside edge of the goalpost.
