Fans look at things very one-sidedly, after Real Madrid's big win over Athletic Bilbao, some radical fans began to chant that Real Madrid does not need to be arrogant, insatiable Lin Dong, even the media, of course, the media followed the heckling for the sake of sales.

However, these people and things did not affect Lin Dong at all, Mourinho needed him, and even fought with Florentino for this.

As for Lin Dong himself, he had already decided in his heart that he wanted to stay in Real Madrid, even if he left, he had to leave with his head held high and with pride.

In this case, Real Madrid ushered in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, and Real Madrid visited Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.

In this game, Real Madrid can deal with it very calmly, after the first four rounds, Real Madrid has accumulated ten points, and there is no problem in qualifying from the group.

But Manchester City is different, after the current four rounds, Manchester City has not even won the first win of the Champions League season, with two points from four games, two draws and two losses, and is at the bottom of the group.

However, it is not impossible to qualify at the bottom of the group, and if City can win their last two games, they could still qualify.

Because Ajax and Borussia Dortmund in front of them are not high in points, Ajax currently have four points, and Dortmund are only one more than Ajax.

The Super Death Group is still very worthy of its name, although Real Madrid's first ride is somewhat unexpected, but the last three are still anxiously fighting for the right to qualify, which shows the fierceness of this group.

After all, the other groups have basically clear points after four rounds, the lead is already ahead, and some groups have even completely confirmed the qualification.

Compared with Real Madrid's easy preparation, Manchester City is much more nervous, especially coach Mancini, the Italian coach has recently been interviewed frequently to express his determination to defend Manchester City's honor with a victory.

It has to be said that there is warmth in the football world, but it is more cruel, a few months ago, Mancini was still a hero of Manchester City, and under his leadership, Manchester City stood on the top of England again after half a century.

But now, Mancini is almost always considered a sinner, because Manchester City's results this season are not ideal, because of the bottom of the Champions League group stage.

There are rumours that Manchester City are currently actively looking for a successor to Roberto Mancini, and Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is one of the biggest favourites.

At present, the situation of Real Madrid is not only the problem of Lin Dong and Ronaldo, but also the problem of Mourinho, and the whole of Europe knows that the contradiction between Mourinho and Ronaldo is very deep.

Even Mourinho's problem is not only Ronaldo, but also the entire Spanish gang, it can be said that Mourinho's situation in Real Madrid is not much better than Lin Dong.

Therefore, many media predict that this season is likely to be the last season of the madman in charge of Real Madrid.

Besides, Mourinho still has the tradition of taking over Mancini, when he was at Inter Milan, Mourinho took over from Mancini, and created the last glory of Serie A, the pinnacle of Inter Milan, the treble.

This is also what Mancini likes most about Mourinho, in Mancini's opinion, the squad of Inter Milan at that time was built by him, and Mourinho completely took advantage of him.

In the first game of the Champions League group stage, the two had a war of words, and the game at that time was also full of sparks, and a goal battle was played that was addictive to watch.

But today is different from the past, in this game, there was no war of words between the two coaches, what Real Madrid needs now is not motivation, but stability, as long as it is stable, it is Real Madrid's victory.

Even if Mancini is crazy and shouting, but Mourinho just ignores him, this is the essential difference, Mancini can't afford to lose, he needs to beat Real Madrid and Mourinho to prove himself.

A slap can't be slapped, and Mancini's slap slapped directly into the air, which made the Italian young marshal depressed.

The game came in the midst of Mancini's depression, at the Etihad Stadium, cheered on by more than 40,000 Manchester City fans, Mancini ushered in his biggest crisis in Manchester City.

On the Real Madrid side, Lin Dong returned to the starter, in order to give Lin Dong more support, Mourinho chose Callejon and Modric for this game, and the other main force that could not be beaten was Ronaldo.

The midfield also belongs to Khedira and Alonso, who are closer to Lin Dong, and the back line remains unchanged, with Coentrão, Pepe, Ramos and Arbeloa, and goalkeeper Casillas.

Since Mourinho took the initiative to retain Lin Dong and wanted to repair the relationship with Lin Dong, he naturally needed to show something, and the best expression was to give Lin Dong support on the field.

So there is the appearance of Callejon and Modric, Callejon replaces Di Maria, Modric replaces Ozil, and there is no problem with the latter replacement, Modric's ability is undoubted.

Now the main thing is Callejon, and this game will be a test for Callejon, whether he can share the opportunity to start with Di Maria.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City, who were determined to win, launched a strong attack, McCone broke through the wing, and in this game, Mancini brought McCone to the midfield.

The aging McCone was no longer able to control the entire wide flank, so Mancini moved McCone forward to allow the Brazilian to concentrate on attacking.

The benefits were clear, as the attack-focused McCone created a good chance from the start, with the latter breaking straight down the flank to finish off Coentrão.

In the box, Dzeko pressed Pepe for McConn's cross, but Dzeko's header eventually hit the crossbar and bounced off the line.

This is still good, but Real Madrid didn't care, and when Real Madrid kicked the goal, Real Madrid didn't immediately retaliate.

Mourinho's tactical arrangement for this game is not as good as a mountain, although Mourinho did not respond to Mancini's mouth before the game, but Mourinho has never been a master who is willing to suffer.

He put all his revenge on the game, and when Casillas took the goal kick, it didn't matter whether it was the fans or the media on the sidelines, there was a flash of doubt in his eyes.

Because Casillas's pass was aimed at fullback Coentrão instead of kicking off with a big foot, you know, under normal circumstances, Real Madrid kicks off with a big foot, not to mention that Lin Dong is the starter in this game.

On the sidelines, Mancini's brow furrowed slightly, and it was clear that the Manchester City manager had also found a problem, and the subsequent situation showed that Real Madrid was an atypical Real Madrid at the moment.

Because Real Madrid controls the ball very strongly, it is so powerful that it directly makes people have the illusion that it is not the Galactic Battleship Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium at the moment, but the Cosmos Barcelona team.
