333. Highlights and regrets
It's not just the Guardian.
England's large and small media, such as The Times, The Mirror, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph and many other media outlets, praised Chu Ge's outstanding performance when they followed the first leg of the Champions League just past.
'Chu Goal proved with his goal why he can be Europe's golden boy and Anthony Martial is not.
Chu reached the last four of the Champions League with his Real Madrid, and he also scored the only goal for Real Madrid in the semi-finals. With Anthony Martial's help, Manchester United was not only eliminated from the Champions League group stage, but also had to play in the Europa League next season. ”
'It's not that Anthony Martial is not doing well. Indeed, in what has been a disappointing season, Anthony Martial may have been United's only bright spot. ”
"However, Chu is too good."

'In fact, this Champions League semi-final was boring.
"When watching the game, many people are even watching Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane's pants are torn again, or the former emperor superstar Ronaldo who appears in the stands, and they are not interested in the game itself."
'This is probably the most boring Champions League semi-final I've ever seen,' was what a lot of people said at half-time.
"However, after the number one star in China, Chu, known as China's 'Messi', came on the field, the dull situation has been improved."
Chu's pendulum made Ronaldo in the stands applaud, and the audience at the Etihad Stadium woke up all of a sudden. It's amazing that Brazil international Fernandinho can't even cope with such a gorgeous way of passing. The subsequent volley scored even more stunned Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, who had been performing well before. ”
"For most of the game, the youngster wasn't that good."
"However, with just those six seconds of flash, he decided the trend of the whole game, turning the three points in Manchester City's hands into one, not only helping Real Madrid to a draw, but also helping the La Liga giants get a valuable away goal in the first leg of the knockout round."
'Now, Real Madrid have a head start on qualifying for the Champions League final.
"If they reach the final, it will be their second Champions League final in two years!"
- The Times
"Sergio Aguero and Chu were the highlights of the first leg of the Champions League. The injuries of Silva and Ronaldo have worried Manchester City and Real Madrid. ”
- Daily Mail
In addition to praising Chu Ge's performance in the game, many media outlets have not forgotten Tottenham Hotspur.
"At the start of the season, the first club to reach an agreement with Chu was Tottenham Hotspur in London. Now seeing Chu's outstanding performance in the Champions League semi-finals, I wonder how Pochettino and Levy should feel? (The Guardian)
Not only Tottenham were ridiculed, but Arsenal were also shot.
"After successfully missing out on Ibrahimovic, Raphael Varane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Suarez, Higuain and other first-class stars, Arsenal have successfully missed another future superstar, Chu. Will their indecision last summer become an eternal regret for the Gunners? ”
"This season's Premier League, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea's traditional top three are in turmoil, and this would have been a great opportunity for Arsenal to rise.
"Look at Chu at Inter Milan and Real Madrid. If Arsenal had been more decisive last summer and bought Chu from Real Madrid, perhaps Leicester City would not have had a chance to pull off their miracle and Arsenal would have taken their place. ”
"It's a pity that history has no ifs."
"Thirty-five rounds of league games have been completed this season, and Arsenal have surprisingly stayed in fourth place in the league." (The Independent)
……
'A home draw against the mighty Real Madrid is an acceptable result for Manchester City.
"The opponent is the team that has won the most titles in the history of the Champions League, and Manchester City have reached the last four of the Champions League for the first time in history this season. As a new team in the Champions League semi-finals, Manuel Pellegrini's team has been outstanding enough to be appreciated. ”
As the local media in Manchester, the Manchester Evening News has given affirmation and support to Manchester City's performance.
"If they give it a go at the Bernabeu in the next leg, Manchester City may not be without hope of progressing to the Champions League final. Come on, Manchester City! ”
They cheer for Manchester City.
As for Chu Ge, which is praised by other media, the Manchester Evening News has a different opinion.
"Chu's pendulum pass, and the subsequent shot, was an accident in this game."
"Manchester City's defensive quality was very high throughout the game, and under their active defense, Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema, the world's top striker pair, basically did not get any good chances."
As the game progressed, the physical fitness and concentration of Manchester City players declined to a certain extent, which gave the physically energetic Huaxia Chu an opportunity. The Chinese youngster used his individual ability, as well as Fernandinho's negligence, to score a goal that allowed Manchester City to make a point from the three points he received. ”
"We noticed that Chu didn't always perform well. It was only after he switched positions with Bale that Bale's impact attracted the attention of City's defence that Chu had the chance to score. ”
In other words, Chu does not have the all-round ability of Ronaldo and Bale. His characteristics are relatively monolithic. Hopefully, if the youngster is back in action in the second leg, the City players will be wary of him. ”
'We believe that once the Manchester City players are familiar with the characteristics of this player, he should not be able to perform well in the second leg.
The Manchester Evening News is very meticulous in its observations of Chu Ge.
They have even started to give Manuel Pellegrini a plan for City's second leg.
At last.
The newspaper blasted Manchester City's management.
'Manuel Pellegrini deserves the respect of the Manchester City hierarchy.'
He has won the Premier League with Manchester City and has set a new record in the history of the Champions League this season. However, the club's hierarchy announced Pep Guardiola's succession early, which is simply incomprehensible. ”
"Manchester City have been very good in the league and Champions League this season, so if the club doesn't respect Pellegrini like this, don't they think about the negative impact on the team?"
'We're not saying Pep Guardiola is bad, but next season's events should be announced at the end of the season, not in the middle of the season.
distressed by a wave of Pei Shuai.
……
Chu Ge and his teammates have returned to Spain.
As is customary, after the game, he took stock of his gains.
