3.052 is overwhelming
Manchester City, who had returned to normal, went even more frantic and kept winning the rest of the game, leaving all their rivals behind. Until the final round of the Champions League group stage, when they faced Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich away, they had won six consecutive games in all competitions.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City have already qualified, and the final game will determine the standings of the two teams. Due to the absence of Li Chengfeng in the first leg, losing 1:3 at home, Manchester City wants to advance in this game, not only to win, but also to score more than 3 goals against Bayern. It's a very difficult challenge, but Li Chengfeng doesn't care, whoever the opponent in the knockout round is the same for the defending champion, Li Chengfeng's goal is to win the championship, and he has to eliminate all opponents. And Manchester City will fly to Morocco for the Club World Cup in a week's time, so Li Chengfeng chose to rotate in this unimportant game.
In the opening three minutes, Lescott's return pass from the edge of the penalty area was faulted by the goalkeeper, but fortunately, the ball went wide of the post. However, Manchester City, who escaped the catastrophe, still fell behind quickly, in the 5th minute, Dante made a 50-meter diagonal long pass from the backfield, and Muller chested the ball 13 meters from the goal and pushed it into the bottom left corner with his left foot, 1-0.
In the 11th minute, it was Muller who crossed from the right again, and Lescott stopped the ball and sent it to Ribery, who shot almost from a zero angle and was hit by Hart's save on the outside of the post. Lescott's form has dropped so quickly that he has made two major mistakes in just 10 minutes and is no longer capable of staying at City. His contract is about to expire this season, and Li Chengfeng is not ready to renew his contract, and he will also start looking for his replacement. But there's no need to rush this kind of thing, a fourth or even fifth option in the central defender position, there is nothing to pay special attention to.
Bayern took a corner kick, Mandzukic stopped the ball in the middle and fired a low shot that was blocked, and Gotze turned and pushed into the bottom right corner from 6 meters in front of the goal, 2-0.
I didn't expect to fall behind by two goals in the opening 12 minutes, although Li Chengfeng didn't care too much about the outcome of this game, but if he lost too badly, he couldn't get over the face, especially when the opponent was still Guardiola, he stood up, walked to the sidelines, and shouted loudly to cheer up the players on the field, increase the scramble, and don't let Bayern easily take the ball in the midfield, especially Muller, Li Chengfeng asked Vidal to focus on taking care of him.
Richards appeared to have strained his thigh muscles, and Lee replaced him with Zabaleta.
Bayern, who led by 2 goals, played a little lax, after all, as long as they did not lose two goals in this game, they would be the first in the group, so naturally they would not be so serious in this situation, and Manchester City quickly took advantage of the field.
In the 15th minute, Milner crossed from the right and Hazard's volley from 15 yards out was blocked by Ziler. In the 20th minute, Shaqiri's diagonal shot from the right was confiscated by Hart. In the 26th minute, Modric fired a left-footed volley high from 20 meters from goal on the left side.
Manchester City recovered a point in the 28th minute, Navas's cross from the right was leaked to the back post, Milner's header was returned to the middle, and Modric pushed it into the net from 4 meters in front of the goal, 1-2!
After that, there are still opportunities for both sides. In the 29th minute, Luka Modric passed the ball and Hazard's shot from the left side of the box went wide of the near post. In the 31st minute, Kolarov's left-footed clearance in the penalty area hit Mandzukic and bounced towards the goal, and the ball landed above the net. In the 40th minute, Lahm crossed and Mandzukic's header was blocked.
Dante was booked for a foul on Robert Lewandowski and Eden Hazard. In the 43rd minute, Ribery went straight to the left side of the penalty area, and Gotze's shot from a tight angle from 6 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Hart's legs.
It was also the last shot on goal from both sides in the first half, and City went into the break with a 1-2 scoreline.
At half-time, both teams did not adjust, and there is no need to adjust in such a chicken rib game, both sides can accept this result, and in such a long season, it can reduce consumption a little bit.
After more than ten minutes in the second half, Pep Guardiola made the first substitution, Martinez replaced Gotze, but Bayern were immediately equalised.
In the 58th minute, Milner burst into the penalty area and was tripped by Dante's outstretched leg, penalty! Kolarov takes the penalty with his left foot and pushes it into the bottom left corner, 2-2!
Just four minutes later, City scored another goal. In the 62nd minute, Modric broke through the ball, Hazard's bocce ball on the left side of the penalty area was missed by Boateng, and Milner pushed into the far corner 10 meters from the goal, Manchester City overtook the score 3-2, and one more win will win the first place!
didn't expect the game to go on to such an extent, Li Chengfeng and Guardiola both began to get serious and began to deploy troops.
Bayern replaced Mandzukic and played a strikerless formation to increase the control of the midfield, while Manchester City replaced Eden Hazard with Neymar in an attempt to use his breakthrough ability to disrupt Bayern's defence.
In the 80th minute, Dante made a mistake at the back and stopped the ball to Neymar, who burst into the right side of the penalty area and pushed the shot at a small angle 6 meters in front of the goal and was blocked by Zeller's outstretched foot! Manchester City missed out on the best opportunity to extend their lead.
There was no such opportunity again, although Manchester City defeated Bayern 3:2 away and tied the opponent in points, but still could only rank second in the group due to the relationship between wins and losses, which made Li Chengfeng a little regretful. The next knockout round will be a bit more difficult against the top of the other group.
But Li Chengfeng is not afraid, if he wants to become the final champion, he must defeat any opponent, no matter who the opponent is, even if the draw result is Barcelona, Guardiola's Barcelona is the same, not to mention that the head coach Vilanova is sick and can only be led by assistant coach Lula Barcelona.
On 14 December, Manchester City played their final game before heading to Morocco, at home to Arsenal. Li Chengfeng sent the main lineup of the league, as for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup in a few days, he will not care so much, whether it is the Asian champion Guangzhou Evergrande or the African champion Al Ahly, Li Chengfeng believes that even if he sends a full rotation lineup, he can easily win.
In comparison, this league is much more important. Manchester City is now in first place with 37 points and Arsenal is second with 35 points, and the outcome of this game is related to the trend of the league.
However, Li Chengfeng is full of confidence to win this game. Since Li Chengfeng took over Manchester City, the game against Arsenal has had an absolute upper hand, and Arsenal's defence simply cannot prevent Manchester City from scoring. What's more, this game is Manchester City's, which has almost won all of them at home this season.
Manchester City also won the game, but Li Chengfeng did not expect that the two sides would score so many goals.
Arsenal knew they couldn't hold on to City's attack, so they opted for a counter-attack away from home in an attempt to score more goals.
They did score a lot of goals for Manchester City, and it wasn't easy to score three goals at the Etihad Stadium, but they conceded more and were conceded by six goals.
The two sides started attacking each other from the beginning, and the pace of the game was very fast. Just one minute into the opening period, Sergio Aguero took a free-kick and Di Maria sent it into the left side of the box, but Kompany's cross was blocked. In the third minute, Di Maria's corner kick was cleared in the middle, and one minute later, Aguero was kicked out of the bottom line by Wilshere on the right side, and Klich took a corner kick to find Toure, who headed the ball wide of the goal. In the 7th minute, Reuss made a direct stop, and Zabaleta's cross from the right was intercepted by Koscielny. In the 8th minute, Ramsey picked up a pass to find Walket and was cleared, and in the 11th minute, Walcott crossed from the right side of the penalty area, Wilshere's sweeping shot was not on target, Walcott won the ball and then passed, Giroud's header was deflected off the left post.
Manchester City took the lead in the 14th minute, Di Maria took a corner kick from the right side, Kompany nodded the ball in front of the ferry, Aguero shook off Koscielny, and a right-footed volley from the edge of the small box broke the net, 1-0!
Falling behind, Arsenal continued to attack, while Manchester City did not back down, and the two teams played intosely.
In such a fierce game, there are usually no fewer goals, but this time it was Arsenal's turn. In the 31st minute, Arsenal equalised. Ramsey steals Toure in front of the field and divides the ball, Ozil bursts into the left side of the penalty area with the ball and passes back in the triangle, Walcott pushes the low flat ball at the top of the arc, 1-1!
But it wasn't long before City put the score ahead again. In the 39th minute, Toure transferred the ball to the right side to find Zabaleta, who crossed to the right side of the penalty area, and Suarez followed up and nudged the net, 2-1!
2:1 is also the final score in the first half, but Li Chengfeng knows that this will not be the final score of this game, and the game between the two sides will be more intense in the second half.
In the second half, both teams attacked more aggressively, and both put more force into the attack, even if it weakened the defence. Arsenal have no choice, their defence has not been very reliable, and they can only play offensive instead of defending. Manchester City is deliberately done by Li Chengfeng, he wants to use a hearty attack to let the Premier League know that Manchester City is invincible, so that other teams, especially those who are weak, can take the initiative to give up when playing against Manchester City.
However, Aguero was injured at the beginning of the second half, and Li Chengfeng replaced Silva and insisted on attacking.
There were a number of mistakes on both sides in the fierce attacking and defensive rhythm, but City were more capable of seizing their chances. In the 50th minute, Manchester City expanded the score, Flamini made a mistake and failed to control the ball, Fernandinho rubbed the ball outside the penalty area and curled the ball straight into the far corner, 3-1!
In the 58th minute, Zabaleta stopped the ball in the penalty area and touched his upper arm, and the Arsenal player asked for a penalty, but the referee ignored it. In the 63rd minute, Arsenal pulled back 1 goal, Ramsey tore the defense with a cross, and Walcott's right-footed curling ball from the left side of the penalty area was spun into the far corner, 3-2!
The goal battle continued, in the 66th minute, Di Maria made a low cross from the right, and Silva pushed and scored in front of the point, 4-2!
The game played to this extent, both sides still did not give up the idea of attacking, Arsenal replaced Flamini with Gnabry, gave up defense and attacked with all his might, while Li Chengfeng replaced Royce with Neymar who had physical problems, and did not back down.
