Chapter 143: Reversal and Promotion
Asenjo saw Sterling shoot with his feet, subconsciously saved to the right, judged the direction of the ball, knocked the ball out, and bounced directly towards the back of the goal.
Asenjo hurriedly stepped forward again to pounce on the ball.
However, it was too late, and the Arabic numeral 72 on the back of Manchester City's shirt had already appeared in front of Arsenal's eyes.
2:1!
“gooooooooooooooooooooal! Raheem Sterling, Raheem Sterling, his shot got Asenjo off and Heheanacho pulled one back! This is clearly the commentator who supported Manchester City: "This goal rewrites the score to 6:5!" We are ahead, we are ahead of Villarreal again! ”
The Manchester City players celebrated wildly, venting their excitement frantically under the noses of tens of thousands of Villarreal fans at the Love Song Stadium, and the blue jerseys were constantly dancing.
"Damn it!" Dai Zhiwei waved his right arm fiercely, and Ruiz, who picked out the football from the goal, viciously kicked the ball into the sky, venting his inner frustration.
They also have reason to be depressed, because Villarreal suppressed Manchester City in this game, the shooting ratio of the two teams is 12:7, the shooting on target ratio is 7:4, the corner kick is 5:2, and the possession rate is 52.7%:47.3%, all of which are more than Manchester City, and the single-game score is also 2:1, but it is this away goal that makes them the side behind the two legs!
As long as he looked up at the huge display screen in the middle of the stadium with a score of 1:2 and 5:6 below, the eyes of every Villarreal player were suddenly filled with anger and murderous intent.
Escriva was ready to solve the problem on the pitch by making an early substitution when Iheanacho sent the ball into the yellow submarine gate again, but after seeing the performance of the players on the field, he sat down again, believing that his disciple could complete the comeback, and he believed that Dai Zhiwei would never stop scoring.
Dai Zhiwei pulled the jersey up, tightened his teeth, and bit the jersey tightly, which was completely a prelude to being ruthless.
Looking at the Manchester City players celebrating in his own penalty area, he felt so dazzling.
Dai Zhiwei is now participating in more competitions, and the number of failed assassinations is gradually increasing, but his desire for victory has not diminished in the slightest.
Looking at the score of 1:2, he was silent for a long time, but when he put his eyes on the field again, his murderous eyes were only the football at his feet and the white goal far from the half.
"Go on! Go on! "Although the captain of Bruno is missing, Villarreal is not a little discouraged, because they still have Dai Zhiwei as the backbone, and they are in excellent form in this game and firmly believe that they can still break through the door of Manchester City!
Once the game resumed, Villarreal's attacking commitment was noticeably stronger, with two full-backs, Gaspar and Costa, rushing forward each time to play to their dominance of possession.
The two wingers, Dos Santos and Roberto Soriano, cut in frequently, Dai Zhiwei and the two wingers constantly interacted, and several players in Manchester City's midfield kept filling in the position, and the defense line kept pulling right and left.
However, whether Dai Zhiwei's strong shot or Triguros's long-range shot, they were blocked by Manchester City players, although Manchester City's attack was stronger than defense, but it was only because their offensive firepower was too fierce, and their defensive ability was not weak at all, so Villarreal still couldn't score.
In the 75th minute, Alfred Ndiaye broke the ball at the back and handed it to Triguros.
Trigueros frowned at the situation and could only distribute the ball to the right, and Dos Santos used his skillful dribbling to rush forward quickly, and in Escriva's tactics, the midfielders have a lot of room to move.
Dai Zhiwei was also in action when Dos Santos broke through, and as soon as he moved, the entire Manchester City defence was forced to move and change with it.
Dos Santos was blocked by Manchester City players as soon as he cut inside, and Dos Santos was not strong, glancing at the edge of the penalty area and sending the ball directly to Dai Zhiwei's feet.
Dai Zhiwei was not easy at this time, Manchester City's defenders naturally did not give him a chance to burst into the penalty area, and Stones appeared in front of him as soon as possible.
Dai Zhiwei glanced cautiously at the penalty area, Villarreal's other striker Baca was firmly blocked by Kolarov, he couldn't find a chance to pass the ball at all, plus Stones' kraft candy, he felt that he could only try to break through now.
Dai Zhiwei stared at Stones, who was waiting for him, Wei carefully controlled the ball at his feet, and he was getting closer and closer to Stones, getting closer and closer.
Both he and Stones were careful not to miss the opportunity because of one of their carelessness.
It's just that the defense is always passive, and Dai Zhiwei can take more advantage when attacking, because the defenders can't think of what he will do in the next moment.
Stones is careful and experienced enough, but at this moment, he is destined to be only a supporting character, a backdrop.
Dai Zhiwei suddenly moved, his feet moving extremely quickly, and he had already made a beautiful breakthrough before Stones could react.
Dai Zhiwei's right foot gently flicked the ball to the right, Stones just adjusted the center of gravity of his body to make a move, but Dai Zhiwei's right foot inside appeared next to the ball, and the inside of his right foot slammed the ball, and the ball suddenly flew to the left.
A perfect croquette!
At this time, Stones was careless, he was worried that Dai Zhiwei would use a right-angle fake body, but he didn't expect the other party to use fried croquettes, and the prediction was completely wrong, so that he was easily shaken by Dai Zhiwei like a stake.
Waiting for Stones to subconsciously want to catch up with Dai Zhiwei, but unfortunately his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell in embarrassment, and Dai Zhiwei had already killed the penalty area at this time!
The Love Song Stadium erupted in a violent cheer, and all the Yellow Submarine fans stood up excitedly, and they shouted loudly towards the stadium in a frenzy!
This is a great opportunity, a hard-earned opportunity!
Dai Zhiwei cheered like a tsunami in the audience, completely enjoying the game.
At this time, Dai Zhiwei's position was basically not defended by any players in front of him, and he had already gained enough space to shoot, but he didn't even think that he would have to hit the goal at this time, because he knew that he might not score a goal if he hit the goal in such a situation.
With little time left until the end of the game, he didn't want to waste such a good opportunity easily.
At this time, Manchester City's defenders are also busy, and all they have to do now is to hurry up and fill the position, and they now have to ensure that they can stop Dai Zhiwei in time.
Seeing Kolarov let go of Baca and rushed towards him, Dai Zhiwei immediately stepped on the ball lightly, found this opportunity, and he believed that as long as he could send the ball to the goal, then Baka would be able to score successfully.
But before Dai Zhiwei could send the ball out, there was a cry of regret from the Love Song Stadium - I saw Dai Zhiwei sitting on the lawn helplessly.
It turned out that just when Dai Zhiwei wanted to send a pass, Stones, who had been chasing back, finally seized the opportunity, and he gently pushed the unsuspecting Dai Zhiwei to the ground.
Foul!
No doubt!
The referee first stretched out his right hand to point to the left point at the edge of the penalty area, and then gave Stones a yellow card with a straight face!
Free kick + yellow card!
'The referee's decision was very accurate, it was a foul from outside the box, it was a free kick without question. Stones has made a meritorious service, there is no big problem with his choice, it is very decisive! England commentator Martin Taylor commented with a smile.
At this time, the Love Song Stadium also erupted into a louder cheer, and the Yellow Submarine fans shouted loudly to cheer for the players, and they shouted Dai Zhiwei's name loudly and rhythmically.
As the team's first free kicker, Dai Zhiwei took the lead and gently placed the ball on the spot 25 meters away from the goal.
"The location is not bad!" Dai Zhiwei slowly stepped back a few meters, constantly observing the layout of the human wall in the penalty area and Caballero's position on the goal line.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to signal that the free kick was ready to be taken.
Dai Zhiwei moved at the referee's whistle, he rushed quickly, and at this time, the goalkeeper Caballero who was bouncing on the Manchester City goal line was also nervously bent down to spread his hands and try his best to expand the defensive area.
Dai Zhiwei was getting closer and closer to the ball, and at this time he did not look at the wall in the box and Caballero on the goal line, but stared straight at the two upper corners of the goal.
"Bang!" Dai Zhiwei slammed his right foot on the football, and then a banana arc swept over the high jumping human wall and shot towards the goal!
"Top left!"
Caballero saw the ball flying above the wall, and judging by his experience, the ball should hit the top left corner of the goal!
Caballero trusted his own judgment, or rather, years of experience made him subconsciously pounce on the top left corner of the goal.
Caballero proved right, but when he flew in and pounced, he could only pounce on the air.
Dai Zhiwei's curling shot was too amazing, passing through Caballero's hand and hanging into the top corner of the goal!
Theoretical dead end!
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“3:1! The big score is 6:6! We're ahead again! ”
The on-site commentator saw Dai Zhiwei lightly and heavily bombarded the goalkeeper and shouted excitedly, and in response to him was the excited shouts of tens of thousands of yellow submarine fans at the scene, all the yellow submarine fans jumped up, and they raised the team scarves in their hands and cheered loudly.
And Dai Zhiwei also yelled after scoring the free kick, and then raised three fingers with both hands, pointing straight to the sky.
This is also Dai Zhiwei's 14th goal in the Champions League this season!
What's more, in the two legs against Manchester City, he actually scored a hat-trick in a row!
Pep Guardiola, who was on the sidelines, almost went crazy when he saw Dai Zhiwei score again, "Is this kid Manchester City's nemesis?" ”
However, Pep Guardiola has no time to dwell on this issue, as City are now behind by a big margin and will have to score another goal in less than 10 minutes to progress!
The game soon went on, with Villarreal, who were leading the scoreline, slowing down the tempo on the pitch and killing time with back-to-back kicks in attack, and in defence, they were the first to be fouled as soon as City were on the rise.
Even if the ball is passed to the Manchester City penalty area, Dai Zhiwei, who gets the ball, will take the ball directly to the sideline, use his skillful ball control ability to control the ball at his feet, or deliberately let the Manchester City defenders touch the football out of the sideline, and then slowly serve the sideline ball and continue to control the ball on the side.
Escriva also began to use substitutions to further drain game time, replacing striker Baca with defender A-Gonzalez to strengthen the team's defense.
Under the onslaught of Manchester City, Villarreal's defence is standing.
In the 88th minute of the game, Manchester City suffered another heavy blow.
Villarreal centre-back Musacchio broke the ball at the back and sent the ball to Gaspar with a diagonal pass, the Spaniard cut forward quickly down the flank and sent the ball to Triguros after half-time, while Trigueros sent the ball to the edge of the City penalty area, where a Villarreal no.10 was waiting.
If Dai Zhiwei continues to carry the ball, he will enter the penalty area smoothly, and only Caballero is left in front of him, Stones had no choice but to put down Dai Zhiwei who broke through with the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and was shown a yellow card by the referee again!
The Love Song Stadium burst into cheers, because Stones had already received a yellow card, and now two yellows have turned into one red, and Manchester City has to accept the situation of one less person on the field!
Villarreal's morale was at its peak, and with the home whistle in their defence, they were already not afraid of Manchester City, and now that Manchester City had one less man on the field, Villarreal had no reason not to win this game.
City made two substitutions in quick succession, but they struggled to recover from their disadvantage for a while.
While Villarreal can only defend passively, with occasional sporadic counter-attacks, it's the win that counts.
Escriva is not a hairy boy, in order to successfully advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he naturally will not pay attention to face, anyway, Villarreal is not a giant, so soon Dai Zhiwei, dos Santos and other Villarreal players began to take the ball straight to Manchester City's corner flag, consuming time.
In the end, Villarreal successfully reversed Manchester City in the second leg, and with a score of 6:6, they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with the advantage of more away goals, and their opponent in the next round was Dortmund of the Bundesliga!
An equally difficult enemy to deal with!
After the game, when Dai Zhiwei came to the sidelines to applaud and thank the fans at the Love Song Stadium, the fans of the yellow submarine held up the team's scarves and shouted his name loudly.
At this moment, he is not afraid of any challenge!
