"We all know that although Manchester City has not participated in many Champions League matches, but our home results are quite good, nearly 23 European home games, only lost one, the enthusiasm and support of the home fans, is our biggest support tomorrow, we will do our best to give the fans a wonderful game!"

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was confident in his pre-match press conference.

As a Chilean engineer who has just taken over as coach of the Blue Moon, he certainly has to cheer up his team, after all, Manchester City is no longer the cat and dog who let the European giants score points, but a rising star.

But Long Shute laughed and slapped him:

"Manchester City's rise in recent years is evident and they are poised to become a force to be reckoned with in European football, but ...... Not in this year.

I'm familiar with both Manchester City and Manuel Pellegrini (in the 2009-10 season, Ajax's Lonjut beat Pegong's Real Madrid in the first leg of the knockout round, and then moved to Bayern Munich to beat Manchester City), and I'm sure tomorrow's game will be very exciting. ”

Pellegrini's face turned green all of a sudden!

MMP, where did I offend you?

Everyone eats in football, why don't you have any affection?!

Be careful that my big blue moon buys you!

February 18th.

Manchester City, Etihad Stadium (later changed to Etihad Stadium).

The football market in England is much more popular than in the sluggish Italy, and although tickets are more expensive than in Italy, it can't stop the fans from cheering for the club.

In the evening, more than 50,000 Manchester City fans poured into the stadium, which looked like a giant bowl, and more than 3,000 Italian fans who followed AC Milan on their journey to England were immediately surrounded by blue waters.

Italy and England fans are often on the same page, as has been the case in many clashes in the past, so the local police and security personnel are facing the enemy, using tall barbed wire to completely separate the home and away fans from another tragedy.

The Champions League theme song has reverberated throughout the stadium, with players from both sides lining up in the tunnel for action.

"Mario, how does it feel to be back here?"

Seeing Balotelli's serious expression, Ronshit couldn't help but want to tease him.

Ba Shen glanced at his former teammates in blue robes and shrugged his shoulders slightly:

'I want to thank God for reuniting me with Manchester City.'

Long Shute was stunned.

Balotelli clenched his fists:

"So...... I'm going to use 1000% of my energy to take out this opponent! ”

-

Compared to two years ago, the lineup of this blue moon team has not changed much:

Despite the change of manager from Mancini to Manlegrini, the main framework of Joe Hart, Kompany, Yaya Toure, Silva and Sergio Aguero remains solid, but it has been improved and supplemented in the wide position.

In the AC Milan team, Balotelli and De Jong are both abandoned players of Manchester City, but they are out-and-out main players in this Milan team, which shows that there is still a big gap between the two teams in terms of financial resources......

If it is in history, then Manchester City can indeed face the challenge of AC Milan with confidence, but due to the presence of Ronsette, the blue moon is clearly the underdog, and even the local media in England and Manchester City's own fans maintain a cautious attitude towards the game.

Pellegrini was more focused on control and attack than his counter-attacking predecessor, Mancini, which led him to a top-high league runners-up finish in the 2009-2010 season.

Although his tactical style of play at Manchester City is not as good as Barcelona's Tiki-Taka, he has also formed a two-man battle with Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool this season, beating Jose Mourinho's Chelsea and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, as for their city rivals, David Moyes's Manchester United...... Sorry, but with United on the verge of losing sight of the top half of the table, it looks as if Ferguson's heir is on the verge of retirement......

For Ronshit, despite the fact that City are stronger than they were two years ago, there is no pressure on him – because he is improving faster.

It is true that the overall strength of this AC Milan team behind him is far inferior to Bayern at the peak, but ...... That's why he chose to join Milan in the first place.

He's going to lead a second-rate team to the greatest victory!

"CCTV, CCTV, you are now watching the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League, Manchester City hosts AC Milan, I am Duan Yixuan......"

It was another late-night live broadcast after three months, and Duan Yixuan reappeared in the background sound.

Due to the existence of Longshut, the majority of AC Milan matches have been adjusted to 22 o'clock in China time to ensure that more Chinese viewers can watch the live broadcast for the first time, but UEFA does not have this awareness, so if you want to watch the Champions League games, you can only wait in front of the TV in the early hours of the morning.

Duan Yixuan watched Manchester City drive the ball out, and introduced:

"Manchester City and AC Milan are both favourites in their respective leagues, and this is a match that will be a much-anticipated matchup. This season, Milan have regained their magic with the arrival of Lonshit and the return of Kaka's form, winning all 23 league games in the league and breaking a winning streak in the top five leagues, leaving Juventus behind. In the Champions League, they teamed up with Ajax to squeeze the dream team Barcelona out of the group stage of the Champions League, which surprised everyone. ”

-

Ronjut's opponent today is still Yaya Toure, and the Ivory Coast midfielder remembers well how embarrassing the number eight across from him was two years ago.

So Yaya Toure decided to cheer up all the spirit from the first second, and let the whole of Europe take a look at the Premier League cap salary of 300,000 pounds a week in his hand...... Definitely not for nothing!

The football finally reached Toure's feet, his long legs slashed, and he rushed towards the middle of Milan with the football, and suddenly there was a heroic domineering spirit that no one in the world could stop!

Who can stop me?

Who dares to stand in my way?

Who......

Yaya Toure's right foot suddenly kicked into the air!

The football ...... that was still in front of me just now It's gone?!

If you don't see it, you're gone, but it's infuriating...... Cut off the ...... of the soccer ball under your feet It wasn't Long Shute!

It was the Dutch outcast who was sold by Manchester City because he couldn't compete with himself...... Nigel de Jong!

"De Jong's steal! It's violent! Even a top midfielder like Yaya Toure was intimidated by his momentum! ”

Duan Yixuan casually praised:

"De Jong didn't stick to the ball, he handed the ball to Long Shut as soon as possible! Will Long Shute be able to stage a quick counterattack? Yes? ”

-

When Yaya Toure turned, he didn't see a sharp sword piercing the green field, and the player wearing the red and black number 8 just passed the ball to another 22 player and had no intention of breaking through with the ball.

Toure spat and hurriedly ran towards his position.

Duan Yixuan slapped his thigh:

"It's a pity! City's defence remained intact and Ronshette didn't have a chance to go straight in, and now that Yaya Toure is back in position, there are even fewer openings to look for......

Xu Yang, a guest who partnered with him, actively contributed to Milan:

"Ronshit should still try to attack, generally speaking, at the beginning of the game, the players' attention will not be immediately concentrated, maybe the opponent will be flawed at the first moment, especially Manchester City's defender is still the famous big colander Demichelis ......"

As soon as his words fell, Milan's midfield suddenly moved.

Balotelli retreated slightly from City's penalty area, while Kaka and El Shaarawy cut diagonally forward along the two flanks, and City's defence immediately shrank in.

However, Manuel Pellegrini's side didn't fully retreat into the depths of the box as he had to prevent Longjut and other opponents from shooting from distance, so Yaya Toure was still on the back foot of Ronjut's line and could break it at any moment.

In addition to Toure, Keylor Navas and Kolarov also roamed around Ronshette to prevent him from linking up with El Shaarawy and Kaka, while Negredo and Silva cut off his backward passes.

"Manchester City use five players in midfield to pack Ronjut?"

Even an amateur commentator like Duan Yixuan, who was very arrogant, couldn't help but be surprised after seeing the situation clearly.

Xu Yang analyzed it from a professional point of view:

"The media often describes the quality of a player in terms of how to deal with multiple players, but in fact, a lot of the photos are about angles, and it is rare to have a specific player in a game, because that can cause the overall tactical balance to be unbalanced. But...... This time is obviously different, and Pellegrini is going to use this tactic to put Ronjut in a single and encircled ......"

Long Shute, who was alone and under siege, suddenly moved!

Yaya Toure, who was calm and highly focused, stood a few meters away, his arms slightly outstretched, and his center of gravity sank again.

Windy.

The wind is blowing!

Toure's eyes are instantly slighted!

He saw the red-black shadow rushing straight towards him!

That lightning bolt seemed to reach its maximum speed in the blink of an eye!

Invariant?

Don't turn?

Not a feint?!

Hitting people with the ball...... It's also going to be fouled!

Crashed!

Dead man!

When the red-black afterimage rushed into his arms with an indomitable momentum, Toure's eyes widened uncontrollably, but his pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant!

Didn't hit it?!

-

"Poof!"

The wind slapped him in the face, and he sat down backwards!

His eyes were empty, except for the stunned faces of Silva and Negredo!

What about people?!

There's only one question mark in Yaya Toure's mind.

He turned his head sharply, only to see that the wind was still howling!

"Bang!"

Long Shute kicked directly on the periphery of the big penalty area!

The opposite goalkeeper is the emperor of the long-range background...... Joe Hart!

Does this still need to be considered?!

1-0！
