Chapter 341: For Myself

Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ™‚ รท small? Say โ†’', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Starters, yes, Lin Dong is back in the starting lineup, this game, Mourinho once again made him the team's starter, but Lin Dong is very clear that he has changed a lot in his mentality.

He doesn't have the same excitement and sense of mission as before, in the first few games, when Jose Mourinho put him on the pitch, he was excited and he wanted to give 200 per cent to help Mourinho prove to the world that he was right.

But this time, he doesn't think like that anymore, he knows very well that before, he could work hard for Mourinho, but now, he only works for himself.

Of course, this does not mean that Lin Dong will not do his best, he will still work hard, he will still focus all his attention on the game, but this time, he is just for himself.

Real Madrid lineup: 433

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos, Arbeloa

Midfielders: Essien, Alonso, Khedira

Front: Di Maria, Lin Dong, Ronaldo

Changing the formation, in order to meet this game, Mourinho changed from 4231 to 433, replaced the forward Ozil, let Essien come on, and increased the hardness of the midfield.

Manchester City: 433

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Clich, Nastasic, Kompany, McConn

Midfielders: Barry, Yaya Toure, Xavi Garcia

Forwards: Silva, Tevez, Nasri

Compared to Real Madrid's change of formation, Manchester City played in a regular formation.

The referee who officiated this game is from Slovenia, called Skomina, is an old acquaintance of Real Madrid, and in the past two years, Real Madrid has officiated in the Champions League, and Real Madrid have won the game.

So, at this point, the referee is still very good for Real Madrid, besides, Real Madrid have only lost two games against English teams in the past.

On the contrary, Manchester City has only won one of their previous four visits to Spain, so in terms of record, it is also Real Madrid who have an absolute advantage.

However, Real Madrid and Manchester City have not played each other in European competitions, so this game will be the beginning of the feud between Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Real Madrid's attack was decisive, and just two minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo had his first shot of the game, involving Vincent Kompany and Nastasic in the box.

Although Lin Dong did not appear in the last game, Mancini was very cautious about Lin Dong's defense, allowing Kompany and Nastasic to flank Lin Dong.

The reason why Manchester City dared to do so was because their midfield was tough enough, with Yaya Toure, Barry and Garcia all possessing some defensive qualities.

No, Ronaldo's first shot was completed under Garcia's interference, and the ball flew out of the bottom line far away from the goal.

A minute later, the two became entangled again, and in this game, Mancini gave Garcia the task of defending Cristiano Ronaldo, and Garcia flew out well in the opening situation.

I have to say that Mancini made Garcia defend Cristiano Ronaldo feel disgusted with Real Madrid, because Xavi Garcia is a youth academy of Real Madrid, but he didn't get a chance at Real Madrid.

In the end, he had to leave and joined Garcia, one of the big three Portuguese clubs, and with his excellent performance at Benfica, Garcia joined Manchester City for 1,700 euros just this summer.

Once again, under Garcia's entanglement, Ronaldo's second long-range shot also missed the goal, and even after that, the two had a little clash.

As a Real Madrid academy player, he naturally wants to perform when facing his old club, so Garcia is particularly desperate when defending.

After Real Madrid failed to hit the goal with two consecutive kicks, Manchester City also returned the kick to Real Madrid, Joe Hart kicked it out, Yaya Toure fought for the top in the middle circle, and gave the ball to Barry.

The latter immediately stepped forward and the ball reached the feet of Nasri, where the Frenchman turned and charged towards the Real Madrid penalty area, which was intercepted by Essien.

Although Essien has a close relationship with Mourinho, the current main force of Real Madrid is Alonso and Khedira, so if Essien wants to get more opportunities, he must seize the opportunities given to him by Mourinho.

And in the face of Premier League teams, Essien also has an advantage that other Real Madrid players do not have, so under Essien's defense, Nasri has never been able to complete the breakthrough.

In this case, the Frenchman can only pass the ball, cross Silva, and the old opponent meets, no, the two are not only opponents, but also teammates in the national team.

Ramos and Silva, Ramos at this moment shamelessly used his strong body to push behind Silva, not giving him a chance to turn around at all.

Passing, Silva knows that with their familiarity, if anyone has the upper hand, it will be difficult for the other to make a difference, and this time, it was undoubtedly Ramos who took the lead.

Yaya Toure, Manchester City's midfielder quickly inserted with long legs, Khedira immediately intercepted when he saw this, but Yaya Toure did not give Khedira a chance to get close, got up, passed, and the ball flew past Khedira's header and flew towards the Real Madrid penalty area.

Tevez is known as a beast, not only because Tevez looks like a beast, his body is also a beast, although he is not tall, but with his strong body, Tevez still receives a pass from Yaya Toure.

It's just that Pepe is not a vegetarian either, and in the end, under Pepe's interference, Tevez's shot was directly confiscated by Casillas.

Real Madrid counter-attacked, Casillas threw the ball to Marcelo, who gave it to Maronso, who kicked it again, a long pass, the ball crossed the half court and flew to the heart of Manchester City, and Lin Dong and Kompany competed for the top.

Lin Dong once again proved that height is still just an imaginary number in front of him, and it is Ronaldo again, Lin Dong has perfectly carried out the task given to him by Mourinho.

It was a chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to get his header pinpointed at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, who held the ball and quickly broke through the box to finish his third shot of the game.

This time, Cristiano Ronaldo finally hit the frame of the goal, and even the quality of this shot was very good, and the ball went straight to the bottom left corner of the Manchester City goal.

However, just as the Real Madrid fans were ready to celebrate the team breaking the deadlock, a large hand with black and white gloves finally killed the cheers of the Real Madrid fans.

"It's a pity~~~ Joe Hart, a wonderful save from the Manchester City goalkeeper blocked Ronaldo's must-win shot."

Real Madrid did not pose a threat in the ensuing corner, and in terms of air defense, Manchester City did quite well, Kompany blocked Lin Dong, and Yaya Toure cleared the ball with a header.

However, Real Madrid's attack was not over, and the ball that was cleared fell at the feet of Marcelo, who sent the ball back to the penalty area and sent it to Lin Dong. Reading, a better reading experience.
