280, the wealthy and the upstart

Manchester City Stadium.

The stadium is better known by its other name, the Etihad.

On September 27, Ronshette traveled to England with Bayern.

He has always had a natural affinity for the English team, after all, he trained here for more than two years, and this is also known as the place where he was born in football.

From here he stepped into the world of European football, and one day, he will return to the place where this dream began.

Oh, not Manchester City......

-

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, you are watching the second game of Group A of the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League, the match between Manchester United and Bayern, I am He Wei......"

He Shiren happily started his first appearance of the season.

Then he found that he had just made a terrible slip of the tongue, and under the reminder of the guest Zhang Lu, he hurriedly corrected it:

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's not Manchester United, it's Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich......"

He may not be blamed for this, because since he joined CCTV Sports Channel, the TV station has never broadcast a Premier League game (CCTV has not bought the Premier League rights since 2003), and his impression of the Premier League is more stuck in the era of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal's traditional semi-finals - this is also a mistake that many fans who do not follow the Premier League often make when Manchester City is just rising.

He Wei stabilized his mood a little, and then began to introduce the situation of this Premier League upstart:

'Since the Middle East consortium took over Manchester City in 2009, the Blues have been on a rising list in the league and last season they set the best points and standings in the club's history, tied with Chelsea for second and third only for a few goals, beating fourth-placed Arsenal to qualify for this season's Champions League......

In this Manchester City team, there are many famous first-line stars, Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Balotelli, Tevez, Yaya Toure, De Jong, Hart, Kompany, Milner, Kolo Toure, Dzeko, Bari, Kolarov ......"

He reported Manchester City's squad for today's day in one go.

Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to him, smiled:

"Sun Jihai also played for Manchester City for a long time, and many fans should still have some impressions of Manchester City at that time."

"That's right, when it comes to Sun Jihai, he did have a good performance in Manchester City, but unfortunately due to injury, he gradually faded out of the team's main lineup," He Wei sighed slightly, "Among the Manchester City teammates who played with him back then, there are only two main players left until now, Joe Hart and Richards, this is really an iron-clad ......battalion of soldiers."

-

In the emotion of the poet, Bayern and Manchester City have completed the initial encounter.

The two teams have not met before this, after all, Manchester City have not reached the Champions League in nearly 40 years......

So they are relatively unfamiliar with each other, and they are cautious and tentative at first, without real hand-to-hand combat.

But it would be an exaggeration to say that the two sides do not know each other at all, Manchester City have three veterans who have played in the Bundesliga, Dzeko, De Jong and Kompany, while Bayern defender Boateng only transferred from Manchester City three months ago......

Gomez, who had fully recovered from injury, returned to the starting line-up, while another injured Robben was not even brought to Manchester by Heynckes - according to the team doctor's diagnosis, due to the force in the last game, the Dutchman's injury showed signs of recurrence or even aggravation, Heynckes had to let Robben give up all training, recuperate at home quietly, and accompany his wife to welcome the second child......

Arjen Robben's third injury of the new season has been a huge disappointment for many fans, who originally wanted to admire Bayern's three fast horses to sieve Manchester City's formation.

But the reality is very cruel, the combination of "Roberon" has only been established for half a month, played four good games, and has never had the opportunity to show its power.

Arjen Robben's place was replaced by Kroos, with Muller still roaming behind Gomez, while Ronschert was put back in his most familiar position in the middle of midfield, where he was partnered by Bayern vice-captain Schweinsteiger.

Long Shute thought about it for a while, this seems to be the first time he has really taken his own position since joining Bayern!

What a game to remember!

-

I don't know if it's been a long time since I've played in midfield, and Lonshit didn't feel comfortable after the opening.

He always had a feeling of being bound, and his heart was always eager to break free and fly freely......

But reason and previous training have been reminding him that he must not leave his position easily, otherwise Schweinsteiger alone will not be able to stop the onslaught of Silva, Yaya Toure and Barry.

Ronszt's position has been previously held by Gustavo and Timoshchuk, with occasional Pranic or Alaba, a position where the task of defending is more important than organising the attack.

Half a year ago, Long Shute had been playing such a role, but I don't know if he had played an offensive position for two months in a row, and now he has some subtle resistance to pure defensive tasks.

You can't blame him, if you let Messi, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and others defend, even if they don't scold you, the fans will definitely scold you to the core......

In the first 15 minutes, the blue moon at home once suppressed Bayern, Silva's flexible breakthrough was brought down by his old teammate Boateng in the penalty area, almost resulting in a penalty, but the referee Kaushoi was indifferent, allowing Boateng to avoid the black pot of "mole" on his back......

Habit is a bad thing, Ronshette left his defensive area from time to time in the first 15 minutes, or stepped forward at the same time as Schweinsteiger, no one stayed, completely exposing the huge middle to the opponent, allowing Silva, Nasri, Aguero's "small and fast trio" in the front court with Dzeko, a tall center forward, to rush left and right in the Bayern backline, provoking the German fans in the stands to exclaim.

But habit is habit after all, and after many years of playing in the defensive midfield position, Lonshit finally found the feeling of being the No. 1 defensive player in the Eredivisie after 15 minutes of adaptation.

Finding his form, he was the first to stop the key figure in Manchester City's attacking organisation, the Spanish youngster David Silva.

Affectionately known as "Shiva" by Manchester City fans, the Spanish frontfielder looked skinny and small, and when he was bought by the Blues at a high price, almost everyone feared that he would not be able to adapt to the fierce environment of the Premier League like many technical players, but he not only established himself here, but also became a truly indispensable core player for Manchester City.

He is also very free and flexible, appearing to be a midfielder, but often plays into the box from two wings; You thought he was going to break down the flank, but he duffled a shot inside and then rolled out a pinpoint through ball that found Aguero, Dzeko, Tevez or Balotelli in the middle.

But now...... This nimble frontcourt libero has met another guy who is even more nimble than himself.

As a result, Manchester City's attack suddenly lost its spirituality.

Another striker, Nasri, is also known for his sharp breakthroughs, but he also faces a difficult opponent – Bayern captain Lahm.

In Lahm's defensive type, Nasri didn't even make a successful breakthrough, let alone support the team's attack.

As for Yaya Toure, the other core of the midfield, he was restrained by Bayern's deputy Schweinsteiger and could not move freely.

Here are the benefits of joining a strong team:

If it is at Ajax, whether Ronshette defends Silva, Toure or Nasri, the rest of City's players can take over the baton from their team-mates and continue to lead the team in attack, so he must divide his energy into three parts, and help his teammates to make up for the leaks at all times, which naturally consumes a huge amount of energy.

And Bayern Munich, who are stronger overall, can concentrate on Manchester City's most crucial core figures, without worrying about whether Nasri and Yaya Toure will also pose a threat.

On the defensive end, he saves energy and energy, and on the offensive end, he doesn't need to rely on him and Suarez to carry the team forward.

In the 19th minute, Silva, who was defended by Longshute without the slightest temper, reluctantly passed the ball back behind him.

He didn't pass to the middle: Yaya Toure had piglets around him, and Barry was lackluster on the offensive end......

It was left wing-back Kolarov who received the ball and it was Tony Kroos, the 'son of Heynckes', who was in charge of marking him.

Kroos didn't stretch out his feet or hands, he stood three meters away and watched Kolarov rush diagonally with the ball!

At this time, Aguero and Dzeko pinned down Bayern's defenders, Yaya Toure and Barry pinned down Piggy and Muller, and Ronjut was still on Silva's side, and there was absolutely no one to stop Kolarov's sudden forward......

Heynckes couldn't help but curse in his heart:

Damn Tony, you're waiting to sit on the bench for the next game!

Kolarov was worth a whopping £19 million, which was equivalent to around €23 million in 2010, and was also a top-10 high-priced signing in the summer window that year.

His defensive ability is so-so, but the reason why he can reach a value of more than 20 million is more because of his excellent forward attacking ability and a decent long-range shot.

As long as he goes one step further and breaks into Bayern's 25-meter area, he can come with a stunning burst anytime and anywhere!

Even if it can't be turned into a goal, at least it can scare the Bayern players into a cold sweat!

As soon as Kolarov thought of this, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him!

Out of nowhere, a red figure rushed out, and with just a poke of his toes, he stopped the football from in front of him!

"Precise interception from Longshute!"

He Wei gave applause to his compatriots for the first time:

"After a few days, we saw once again in the game the super midfielder who could defend and defend himself, not only single-handedly freezing the heart of Manchester City's playmaking, but also incidentally defusing an unexpected forward attack ...... Kolarov"

"If Kolarov had shot with his feet, Kroos would have taken the blame, he was so passive in defence that he could have done little to help the team, it's hard to imagine that such a player could come from a German football ...... that has always been known for its high record."

Zhang Lu expressed regret for Cross.

After all, he is not Heynckes, and it is normal not to see any merits in Kroos, at least in the defensive stage just now, the German genius is indeed worthy of criticism

The ball was stabbed at Schweinsteiger's feet, and Bayern's vice-president leaned on Yaya Toure to complete the turn.

This side had just criticised Kroos, but he didn't expect Toure on the other side to be a fan of eye defensiveness, and he only tried to break the ball with an outstretched foot, and after the defeat, he simply became a spectator......

Schweinsteiger's right-footed pick is a pick-and-roll pass, and splitting the middle has always been the most common attacking routine for Bayern Munich, as they have the best pair of wingers in the world.

Franck Franck Ribery, who was scurrying down the left, received a long ball from a team-mate, and then struck a dashing shot in front of the black, hard big defender Richards, and effortlessly burst into the 30-metre area of Manchester City.

When Arjen Robben on the right is not on the pitch, the Allianz king's attacking routine always seems a bit monotonous, and this one is no exception.

His offense is as simple as that, but simple doesn't mean it doesn't work.

He got past Richards and drew on two more defenders, Vincent Kompany and Colo Toure, causing a stir in and out of the City penalty area.

Ribery's afterglow swept down the middle, and this time there was no red afterimage of Ronjut, but both Muller and Gomez were struggling to charge into the box.

Ribery pulled the ball to his left and struck a low cross.

But Kompany had sensed his intentions and pounced on Muller to block Ribery's pass.

But he still fell into the trap set by Ribery!

As soon as Kompany made a move, Ribery directly picked up his right foot and came with a volley from outside the box!

"Bang!"

Even the green tendons can be clearly seen on Kompany's bald head!

He regretted why he had left his position at the last moment!

There was a gasp in the air above the Etihad, and countless Manchester City fans jumped out of their seats in fear of the shot, and some even closed their eyes in fear.

But a figure pressed them back into their chairs.

"Joe Hart! His save was so timely! ”

As a commentator, He Wei gave praise to Manchester City's goalkeeper from a neutral point of view.

But as soon as his words fell, the alarm sounded again in front of Manchester City!

It's still a red figure, alertly appearing in front of the landing point of the football!

Thomas ...... Muller! He shoots! ”

There was a huge upheaval in He Wei's voice:

"Joe Hart! It's Joe Hart again! He saved Manchester City once again with a world-class save! Yes! ”

The narrator was about to praise the England goalkeeper for making consecutive saves with a limerick, but he didn't even spit out a word before his voice was cut off by the next scene......

Gomez, who flashed from behind Muller, smiled and gently picked the ball into the empty goal that Joe Hart saved for the second time.

Joe Hart, who had already fallen to the ground, finally had no power to return to the sky!

In the 20th minute, Bayern Munich opened the scoring!

Ronshit slowed his pace less than five metres from Gomez.

It's just a little bit worse, and if Gomez hadn't been there, he could have been the hero to break the opposition's goal......

But what does it matter?

Ronshette smiled, stepped on the gas pedal again, and jumped directly on Gomez's broad back!

This goal...... But I started it!
