Juventus is the defending champion, and they have brought in a number of strong reinforcements this season, which can be described as a flourish, and they are also the biggest favorites to win the Champions League this season, while Manchester City is a new team in the Champions League and lacks experience, so although Manchester City is playing at home, there are still more people who are optimistic about Juventus winning away.

In this game, the starting lineup sent by the Manchester City team is: goalkeeper Jaskelainen, left-back Lizarazu, right-back Lake, two central defenders are Stam and Hyypia, four midfielders are Ding Hongxing, Makelele, Nedved, Seedorf, and two forwards are Quinn and Larsson.

This starting lineup is also the strongest lineup of the current Manchester City team, which shows that in order to face the strong Juventus, the Manchester City team is also going all out.

After the game started, Ding Hongxing posted Zidane, he knew that although Juventus has excellent strikers like Piero and Vieri in the frontcourt, Zidane is the real core and brain of this Juventus team, he is the commander responsible for controlling the rhythm of the whole team, and Lippi has given him all the responsibility of organizing the attack and controlling the rhythm.

Zidane is of course the undisputed master of midfield, his technique, passing and control are top-notch, but he is characterized by a somewhat slow pace of action, and he must always have the ball at his feet to organize the attack, which makes Juventus more dependent on his organization, as long as he stares at Zidane, he can basically freeze most of Juventus's attack.

Of course, there are many teams that can think of this, but there are very few teams that can do this, Zidane's skills are so good, even if he is not fast, he can get rid of defenders on the spot through his unparalleled skill and rhythm changes, pass the ball calmly, even if it is pressed by multiple people, it is difficult to snatch the ball from his feet.

Such a top-notch player who can defend Zidane single-handedly and successfully limit him may not be more than a palm in the world, and Ding Hongxing is certainly among them.

Ding Hongxing is fast, strong in confrontation, quick in reaction, his skills are also excellent, and he often watched Zidane's games in his previous life, and he likes Zidane very much for the elegant style of play, so he is very familiar with some of Zidane's actions, which determines that it is difficult for Zidane to get rid of Ding Hongxing's defense.

In fact, under Ding Hongxing's defense, it is very difficult for Zidane to even get the ball, Ding Hongxing has been clinging to Zidane, constantly seeking physical contact with Zidane, Zidane's physical confrontation ability is not bad, but compared with Ding Hongxing, it is not enough, his body is difficult to balance, so it becomes extremely difficult for him to catch the ball.

In fact, before the game, Zidane expected that it would be Ding Hongxing to defend himself, he had also watched a lot of Ding Hongxing's games, and he also admired this young man who was four years younger than himself, he knew that Ding Hongxing's defense was very good, it was like a piece of kraft candy, it was extremely difficult, but it was not until now that this piece of kraft candy stuck to his own body, he really realized how difficult this piece of kraft candy was.

He has exhausted all kinds of ways to get rid of it, but he can't get rid of Ding Hongxing, Ding Hongxing is faster than him, stronger than him, faster than him, and the most terrifying thing is that he always seems to be able to predict his next move, and he stuck his position in advance, which is like a maggot attached to his bones, making himself unable to move.

In this case, as strong as Zidane, he also needs the support of his teammates, and only when other teammates play well can he reduce the pressure.

However, Zidane looked at almost all of his attacking teammates who were threatened by the Manchester City players.

Makelele entangled Piero, this is another piece of kraft candy, although it is one size smaller than Ding Hongxing, but it is as difficult as Ding Hongxing.

Hyypia withstood Vieri, who was tall and strong, but the Finn was taller and not inferior in strength, and beside him, there was also a fierce Dutchman, who was bald and had a fast and accurate tackle, and it was very difficult to get past his line of defense.

In the midfield, there is also an undead Nedved, ready to fill in at any time, and his back and forth sweeping is tantamount to weaving another net in the Manchester City defence.

Zidane couldn't help but be secretly surprised, how did the Manchester City team, which was unknown on the European continent a season ago, gather such a group of outstanding players?

Manchester City's excellent team is not only defensive, they are also excellent offensively, because Ding Hongxing froze Zidane, therefore, today Seedorf took on more tasks of organizing the attack, his skills are also top-notch, his imagination is also very good, and he is fully capable of organizing the heavy responsibility, Juventus does not have another Ding Hongxing to freeze Seedorf, so the most active player in this game became Seedorf.

Today's Manchester City team's main offensive tactics are still the main Quinn, Seedorf and Ding Hongxing have been teammates for more than a season, he has also learned Ding Hongxing's long pass kung fu to seventy or eighty, his long passes are frequently sent to Quinn's head, and then Quinn or direct attack, or header ferry, to create opportunities for teammates, Manchester City's two fullbacks are also in turn, after receiving Seedorf's pass, down the bottom cross, to Quinn cannonballs.

Juventus's central defender partners are Ferrara and Montero, the central defender partners are very strong and experienced, but their height is not very high, Ferrara is 1.80 meters tall, Montero is 1.79 meters tall, air defense is their biggest shortcoming, this may not be too much of a problem against the general team, but against Manchester City, this shortcoming is infinitely magnified, because Quinn's header ability to grab points is too terrifying, at least the top three in the world, He is more than a dozen centimeters taller than these two central defenders, and his confrontation ability is also stronger than these two central defenders.

Manchester City's passes into the penalty area, at least eight out of ten were grabbed by Quinn, although Juventus's back line with rich experience, temporarily keep the goal open, but the field is more and more inferior, passive, their formation is also shrinking, which makes Juventus coach Lippi can't help frowning.
