"Luka Modric dribbles forward."

"Modric and Marcelo played a two-on-two combination, and Chu Ge took the initiative to come and answer."

"Marcelo passed the football to Chu Ge."

"Chu Ge knocked the ball with his heel, and the football returned to Marcelo's feet."

"Shoot!"

"Beautiful!"

"Joe Hart has done it again! He leaped into the air and flew to block Marcelo's shot. It was a brilliant save. ”

Call!

When Marcelo shot, the Etihad Stadium was in full swing.

Seeing Joe Hart save the football, the scene immediately erupted in warm applause.

……

Sky Sports.

"After Chu came on the pitch, Real Madrid significantly increased their attack on the left. It was the second time they had found an opportunity on the left flank and had a goal. ”

'Marcelo, Vazquez, Luka Modric, Chu, these four players often appear at the same time on the right flank of Manchester City, which is guarded by Sagna, causing a lot of problems for Manchester City's defence.

"Thankfully, Joe Hart was in good shape today."

'Combined with the first half, it was the third time he made a good save to keep Real Madrid's shot out.

Commentator Lineker analyzed.

"Still."

"Overall, it wasn't a great game. The two teams have also had just seven shots on goal so far. Among them, Real Madrid had five shots on goal, three on target, and no goal; City had two shots on goal, one on target, and one goal. ”

"In terms of possession, the two teams are about the same."

"In this game, the main scramblings of both teams are concentrated near the middle of the midfield, which makes the game look intense, but the offensive organization of both sides is very messy, the offensive threat is not great, and the excitement of the game is not high."

……

Lineker's comment was rather polite.

His peers were much more direct.

beIN TV commentator Palmeri: "This match is the most boring Champions League semi-final in almost 12 years. ”

Grant Val, senior correspondent at Sports Illustrated: "I watched it for two hours and couldn't find any bright spots. ”

Graham Hunt, a well-known La Liga journalist: "Both teams treat the ball with the same care as they do with suspicious explosives. ”

Reds legend Carragher: "It wasn't a good game, but Modric was good. ”

ESPN's Alex: "The two sides are like two chess masters, a fascinating tactical duel, shrewd and cautious, always on the lookout for each other, so calm that people are intoxicated – I can't make it up!" Kicked like shit. ”

The Independent: "No bright spots, no flashes. ”

Daily Mirror: "Zzzzzzz......"

……

In search of the highlights of the game, the cameraman began to look for news on the sidelines.

Soon.

They did find out.

In front of Real Madrid's coach's box, Zidane stood in the cold wind and rain, and seemed to be a little shivering.

The camera's lens immediately and skillfully aimed at Zidane's crotch.

Really.

Qi bald's crotch is torn again!

His suit pants once again showed a touch of thigh-white white.

Soon, the footage was captured by major media outlets, and countless fans posted it on the Internet. Zidane's "torn pants" once again became a hot topic in this game.

A lot of people are laughing.

Asking Zidane to endorse the brand of the suit became unexpectedly famous.

Netizens joked: "Zidane's pants, it's time for Wenger's down zipper, the front has just returned." ”

Independent TV guest Hargreaves commented: "When Zinedine Zidane's pants are torn again and it becomes big news, you know how boring the game is. ”

And the highlight on the sidelines doesn't know this one.

The stadium's camera found a familiar figure in the stands of the Etihad Stadium.

Ronaldo.

Aliens were at Wembley last weekend to watch Manchester United's FA Cup clash with Everton.

It seems that he should have been in England recently and has not left.

In this game, Ronaldo also came to watch the game.

When the camera gave Ronaldo a close-up, beIN Sports joked: "Aliens came to the Etihad Stadium to watch the game, do you think that this guy is the biggest highlight of this Champions League game?" ”

……

Nearly thirty minutes passed again.

The score was still 1:0.

Thanks to Sergio Aguero's goal at the start of the second half, Manchester City had a one-goal lead over Real Madrid.

'It's starting to get more and more favourable for Manchester City.

"As long as they can hold Real Madrid for fifteen minutes, they can win the game. If they can win 1-0 against Real Madrid, Manchester City will surely be more than happy. ”

"Still."

"As the game progressed, the ability of the City players to run began to decline significantly."

Watching the game, Lineker spotted some of City's concerns about the game.

That's a matter of fitness.

Manchester City pressed from the start of the first half, which allowed them to limit Real Madrid's performance, but also laid the foundation for fitness bottlenecks in the second half of the game.

Then.

Zidane touched his head off the pitch.

He also seems to have discovered something.

Just when Zidane called Chu Ge over and was about to rearrange his tactics, a sudden incident occurred.

Silva was injured.

In the first half, David Silva suffered some minor injuries.

But at the time, he chose to persevere.

At this point, Silva could no longer continue the game and he asked for a substitution.

Manuel Pellegrini had no choice but to bring on Silva with Iheanacho.

This is good news for Real Madrid.

Silva is at the heart of Manuel Pellegrini's midfield. With him, Manchester City not only attacked more organically, but also freed up De Bruyne's attacking power.

With his departure, Manchester City's attacking threat was greatly reduced.

At the same time, without Silva's scheduling, De Bruyne had to drop back to get the ball frequently, and his attacking threat to Real Madrid was decreasing.

See such a situation.

Zidane made a new tactical adjustment to Chu Ge.

He asked Bell to switch places with Chu Ge.

Bale moved to the left flank, alongside Marcelo and Luka Modric, attacking City's right flank.

At the same time, Vazquez's position is often pulled to the left, drawing the attention of Manchester City's defence.

And the entire right corridor of the team was handed over to Chu Ge.

Zidane's tactical intention is obvious, that is, Bale will play the strong road and let Chu Ge go to the weak side.

If the strong road can be penetrated, then a breakthrough can be made from this road.

If it doesn't work, then attract all the defensive forces of Manchester City, causing them to defend to the right, so that the weak Chu Ge can get more space.
