In 2016's "Double 12", there were no online promotions for online shopping in Europe, but European football was more lively - the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the 2016-17 Champions League was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

After the Champions League group stage, the round of 16 was all born.

Arsenal, Napoli, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Borussia Dortmund, Leicester City and Ututus topped the group.

According to the draw rules, teams from the same group stage will not meet, and teams from the same league will not play against each other.

The draw was presided over by Pinto, head of UEFA's media division, while Marchetti hosted the draw process and was attended by Dutch legend Ruud Gullit.

The first team to be drawn was Manchester City, and when Villarreal was drawn as the opponent of the Blue Moon Army, Dai Zhiwei's smile instantly froze in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the draw ceremony.

"What's the use of us scrapping the first place in the group that we've been fighting for for for a long time?" He couldn't help but expose his foul language, "Damn, the weak team has no human rights, right?" Fuck off, UEFA. ”

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City this season is definitely an opponent that no team wants to face in the knockout rounds, even Real Madrid and Barcelona, but they were met by Villarreal.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Villarreal and Manchester City will be played on 14 February 2017, with the second leg on 7 March 2017.

Villarreal have two league games to play ahead of the first leg against Manchester City, but their form doesn't seem to pose much of a threat to Pep Guardiola's side on the road.

After seeing off his parents, Dai Zhiwei rushed back to the team and led the team to challenge Sevilla, who finished third in the standings.

Less than a minute into the game, Sevilla were shocked by Dai Zhiwei's cold sweat, the home team's Ben Yedder crossed from the left, and Jovetic fired a close-range shot wide of the near corner under the interference of the defence.

Dai Zhiwei also played in the eighth minute, he broke down the right and sent a through ball, and Baca fired a one-handed shot wide of the far corner from 10 yards on the left side of the penalty area.

Sevilla squandered a penalty at the start of the second half when Gaspar brought down Bitolo on the edge of the box and Nasri's effort was denied by Asenjo.

In the 55th minute, Robert Soriano sent a through pass, but it was Baca's one-handed shot from the left side of the box that hit the side-netting.

In the 82nd minute, Sevilla got a chance to kill, but Ibola's close-range header was saved by Asenjo.

In the end, the two sides exchanged scores, with Sevilla and Villarreal still in third and fourth place in the standings, but Atletico Madrid behind them were only one point away from Villarreal.

A week later, Villarreal returned home to face Málaga.

In the 14th minute, Malaga was dominated by the anti-host, Rosales crossed from the right, and Charles scored with a header in front of the small penalty area, 0:1.

Villarreal only equalized in the 62nd minute, when Rosales fouled Dai Zhiwei in the penalty area, and then he scored a penalty himself, 1:1.

Subsequently, Villarreal became more and more courageous, and when he was about to overtake the score, in the 71st minute, Roberto Soriano deliberately kicked down Camacho after being tackled with the ball and was directly sent off with a red card, which was regarded as completely extinguishing the wave of yellow submarine attacks.

In order to save energy for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City in midweek, Escriva then had to replace Dai Zhiwei with Baca and accept the end of the draw.

In the other game of this round, Atletico Madrid relied on the three points of the 3-2 narrow victory over Celta at home, overtook Villarreal by one point and rose to fourth place in the standings, while the yellow submarine fell to fifth place.

Just after Villarreal arrived in Manchester, there was a very frustrating news in English football - Manchester City were interested in letting Dai Zhiwei succeed Aguero.

According to The Guardian, Manchester City have officially put Tai Zhiwei on the shortlist.

According to the report, Manchester City have been watching Dai Zhiwei for a long time, and since the youngster took the position of Villarreal's main striker last season, analysing his game footage has become part of the daily scouting routine of the Blue Moon Army.

At present, Manchester City's main striker is Sergio Aguero, but there is a lack of a teammate to compete with him, not to mention that Aguero is also 29 years old, so finding a good young striker has become a top priority for the Blue Moon Army.

In the eyes of Manchester City Club, Dai Zhiwei, who was born in 1994, is now under the age of 23, but his calmness on the pitch is far from matching his age, in addition to his excellent psychological quality, his physical fitness is also outstanding, his shooting skills are particularly good, and the liquidated damages are only 110 million euros, which is regarded by Guardiola as the first prey of the team's transfer this summer!

However, with Dai Zhiwei sitting at the top of the scorer list in La Liga and the Champions League, this potential stock is increasingly attracting the attention of giants, and in the Premier League alone, Manchester United and Chelsea, who lack a positive striker, are interested in it, and now Manchester City is also involved.

Twin starting lineup:

Manchester city:

Goalkeeper: Caballero

Defenders: Sagna, Fernandinho, Stones, Otamendi

Midfielders: De Bruyne, Silva, Yaya Toure, Sane

Forwards: Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling

Villarreal:

Goalkeeper: Asenjo

Defenders: Gaspar, Musacchio, Ruiz, Costa

Defenders: Dos Santos, Bruno, Trigueros, Robert Soriano

Forwards: Bakambu, Dai Zhiwei

One of the main reasons why Villarreal has achieved good results in La Liga and the Champions League this season is that the team's main players have not been injured for more than a week, and they have always maintained a relatively fixed main lineup.

Before the game officially started, Dai Zhiwei and his teammates returned to the locker room after a brief warm-up.

Escriva looked a little nervous, and now he is making the final preparations before the game: "Guys, I think you know better than anyone what this game means, I think you players know better than me. We did well and qualified first in the group stage! I would say that as long as we can continue to be in the Champions League, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are not scary! We can even beat Real Madrid, Barcelona can't get a win from us, are Manchester City better than them? Let's conquer Manchester City Stadium now! ”

After Escriva finished speaking, he opened the door of the locker room and hugged the players who walked out of the locker room one by one.

Led by the referee, Villarreal and Manchester City players walked out of the tunnel.

Although the two teams and the players on both sides did not have too many grievances, the players on both sides still tacitly ignored the other player's players and walked out of the stadium with expressionless faces.

When the live broadcast camera was given to Dai Zhiwei, Manchester City Stadium suddenly burst into a burst of fierce cheers.

"Huh? Do they really want to bring me in? Dai Zhiwei, who was standing on the pitch doing the final warm-up, was also stunned for a moment, "Anyway, I definitely won't join Manchester City, you still have to die of this heart." ”

Bruno won in a coin guess and Villarreal got a kick-off. Dai Zhiwei knocked the ball to the feet of Robert Soriano in the middle circle, and the much-anticipated Champions League quarterfinals officially began.

Villarreal showed patience in the opening stanza and did not think to exploit the start of the game to launch a surprise attack. They followed the tactics of head coach Escriva and patiently stabilized the situation on the pitch with their feet backwards in the midfield.

To be honest, in the fierce physical confrontation in the Premier League, there are almost no purely technical flow teams, and Manchester City can be said to be the most acceptable Premier League team among La Liga players among the teams with gorgeous and fluid attacks, and under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's attack is like mercury, and it is one of the best-looking teams in the Premier League.

Dai Zhiwei and Dos Santos and Robert Soriano on the wing slowly tried to penetrate the front court with their feet backwards.

It didn't work out too well, at least the team was getting better and better on the offensive end, and their games started to have more attacking space.

In the first fifteen minutes of the game, the two sides fought in midfield, and both sides won and lost, but one thing was almost certain: there was hardly a threatening breakthrough since the start of the game, not a single dangerous pass, and not a single threatening shot on goal.

Both sides have invested heavily in the midfield to strengthen their defence, and both sides know what this Champions League quarter-final means, so the players on both sides are cautious and do not choose to rush into the attack.

Players from both sides were confident that they could pick up the opportunity to break through the ball in a constant mix of passes and cuts, and that they were confident to strike a fatal blow when they wore down their opponent's patience.

It's just that Manchester City's confidence comes from the strength of the overall strength, while Villarreal's confidence comes from Dai Zhiwei.

In the 17th minute, Dai Zhiwei received a pass from Robert Soriano and took a few steps forward to approach the edge of the penalty area, at which point Manchester City's Yaya Toure rushed over.

In the previous duels, Dai Zhiwei was forced to make several mistakes by the ageless Yaya Toure with a spicy defense, and the offensive and defensive performances of both sides were five or five each.

In the face of Yaya Toure, Dai Zhiwei was not cowardly, didn't he just concede a few goals, he didn't care at all.

Maybe it's because Yaya Toure is a little light after forcing Dai Zhiwei to lose the ball in a row, or maybe he has some physical problems, so this time when facing Dai Zhiwei, he was a little less energetic and less concentrated, and was easily shaken by Dai Zhiwei's croquette!

"Huh?" Dai Zhiwei was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Yaya Toure, who had given him a lot of pressure before, to be broken through so easily.

"Whatever, run!"

Dai Zhiwei ran with the ball immediately after shaking off Yaya Toure, but City's defence was not too leaky, and someone soon came to fill the position, but Dai Zhiwei did not stick to the ball, and he distributed the ball to the feet of Dos Santos on the left.

Dos Santos was somewhat uncomfortable receiving Dai Zhiwei's pass, after all, he has always been on the right side, and this time after switching sides with Robert Soriano, although he pulled away Manchester City's defence, it was somewhat awkward.

Dos Santos started his game after receiving the ball, and on the flank, Dos Santos was a sharp knife, using his first-class pace to quickly push towards Manchester City's backfield.

Dos Santos advanced more than ten metres in the blink of an eye, and he decisively began to cut inside - because at this time Manchester City had a heavy force near the bottom line.

In this game, Manchester City's defensive high-altitude ball is a big hole for them, in addition to Stones has 188cm, Otamendi is only 183cm, Fernandinho is only 177cm, and Bakambu in front of the goal is definitely a strong point.

Dos Santos's sudden in-cut caused a temporary panic in the Manchester City backline, but after all, they were experienced in battle, and they quickly reacted, and began to press Dos Santos while keeping a close eye on Dai Zhiwei and Bakambu.

Dos Santos had no more room to break through in the face of Manchester City defender Sangna, and struggled to send the ball to the feet of Dai Zhiwei in the penalty area, and then he rushed into the Manchester City penalty area in an attempt to create chaos.

In the face of Fernandinho's continuous pushing behind his back, Dai Zhiwei met Dos Santos's pass, directly picked the ball lightly, and then forcibly turned around and volleyed.

His shot came so suddenly that Fernandinho didn't even have time to raise his leg to block.

Dai Zhiwei's kick was powerful and heavy, whistling and flying towards the goal, but because it was too difficult to turn around and volley, the hit was still a little positive.

Manchester City goalkeeper Caballero also reacted at this time, knowing that such a powerful shot would be difficult to take off, and in order not to get out of his hands, he knocked the ball out of the range of goal with both fists.

There was panic in the City penalty area, and Bakambu scrambled to unload the ball, but he couldn't find the right shot on goal, and he didn't have any space to shoot in the face of the City's dense defence.

At this moment, Bakambu suddenly saw a familiar figure, "Although his chance is not good, but let's try!" ”

After all, he never disappoints!

Bakambu's sudden back-heel pass went past Manchester City defender John Stones and rolled in front of goal.

Just then, a dark-haired Villarreal player appeared on the path of the ball.

Dai Zhiwei stretched his leg first in the frightened shouts of Manchester City fans, and hit the football with his toe with a tackle!

Caballero in front of the goal line subconsciously clamped his legs, but the ball had already drilled under his crotch and rolled into the net!

The Manchester City Stadium fell silent, but the few Villarreal fans jumped up with excitement, frantically raising their team scarves and shouting loudly - "goooooal!" ”

Villarreal opened the scoring for Villarreal with Dai Zhiwei's unexpected goal, leading Manchester City and bringing a precious away goal to the Yellow Submarine!
