Chapter 179: Real Madrid vs. Manchester City

Considering City won't get much possession at the Bernabeu, Mancini fielded a back three of Xavi Garcia, Yaya Toure and Barry, while the front three were a swimming combination of Silva, Tevez and Nasri.

The first half was indeed an offensive and defensive drill, Manchester City had a shot blocked by Silva in the entire half, in fact there was zero threat, Mancini was ambitious to score, and in the 63rd minute, Silva was replaced by a round of applause at the Bernabeu, and high school striker Dzeko came on as a substitute.

Mancini's substitution paid off five minutes later. Marcelo's pass was cut off, and Yaya Toure's small universe erupted into a long-distance run, and no one could stop it in the nearly 50-meter dribble.

In the Ivory Coast beast waist run, Manchester City actually only one Dzeko to keep up with the rhythm, Bosnia and Herzegovina Tower started to stride near the center circle of the meteor run, everyone's attention is on Toure, but Manchester City's lethal ball, Dzeko in front of him, he shot low with his left foot on the penalty line to break the net!

After the goal, Dzeko pointed to the jersey behind his back and shouted in celebration. The Telegraph says that Bernabeu fans should remember the name, No.10 Edin Dzeko, the efficiency king who broke the Bernabeu goal with a single shot, does such a celebration feel familiar? That's right, Raul, Prince of the Bernabeu, has done this more than once.

It was Dzeko's third goal of the season, including two in the Premier League and one against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Dzeko is the efficiency king, scoring three goals in 221 minutes and scoring against Real Madrid, a performance that could add weight to his main contenders.

"Marca" said before the game that Yaya Toure, Silva, Aguero, Zabaleta, Xavi Garcia These players are all "La Liga", especially Yaya Toure, the Ivory Coast midfielder once played for Barcelona and was the main force during Barcelona's 08-09 season when he won the six crowns.

It was only because of the rise of Busquets that Barcelona was relieved to boldly sell Toure to Manchester City. It was a win-win deal for Manchester City and Barcelona, with the Blues getting Toure, arguably the world's number one, while Barcelona put Sergio Busquets in the position and received a huge transfer fund.

Yaya Toure will not forget his most glorious victory at the Bernabeu: the 08-09 Spanish national derby, where Barcelona slaughtered Real Madrid 6-2. Yaya Toure is one of the Witnesses.

Real Madrid have Casey, Xavi Garcia (who happens to be at Manchester City now), Marcelo and Higuain. Now Yaya Toure's status is different from the beginning, although his Manchester City cannot be compared with Barcelona in the 08-09 season, but the Ivory Coast Beast is the absolute core of Manchester City, and the offensive and defensive dominance of the blue moon is controlled by him, and the long-distance running with the ball that could not be performed in Barcelona can now play a role in Manchester City.

Dzeko's goal in the 68th minute was a model of Yaya Toure's individual run. Marcelo's pass was intercepted by Barry, and Toure won the ball and turned to stab Tevez in front of him after receiving the ball from Alonso, Mesut Ozil and Marcelo. The Argentine did it back, Yaya Toure ran with the ball all the way like a wild horse, leaving the entire Real Madrid defense behind!

Dzeko plugs in, Toure sends a wonderful pass, and witnesses Dzeko complete the fatal blow! Toure ran 50 metres from receiving Barry's pass to Dzeko and providing an assist from Alonso's first line of defence. To Varane's second line of defense, Real Madrid's 6 people can't stop his rush!

Manchester City are the new champions of the Premier League. However, the Blue Moon has only appeared in the Champions League three times this time, and has only won three Champions League games in its history, which is a world of difference compared to Real Madrid's nine Champions League games and more than 200 Champions League victories.

As Dzeko said, City are inexperienced. Mancini's tactics were successful for the most part, though, when Dzeko scored the opener. Manchester City still took the lead with a huge disadvantage of 4-24 shots, and the BBC also lamented that this is football, Real Madrid has the advantage, but it is Manchester City who scores first.

This focus battle. Every minute counts. Joe Hart became a hero of Manchester City in the first half, facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the home team, the England goalkeeper repeatedly saved, and Mourinho, who had seen strong winds and waves, was once worried. The hearts of the 67,000 fans at the Bernabeu also beat wildly with the trend of the game.

Higuain's close header was blocked by Hart, shocking the Manchester City fans in a cold sweat, and when the half-time tunnel was in the players' tunnel, Mourinho walked alone in the front, Casillas bowed his head and said nothing, Marcelo leaned in the corridor thoughtfully, Manchester City were satisfied with the 0-0 at half-time, Tevez and Silva both had smiles on their faces.

The handshake between McCone and Mourinho made the hostile match seem warm. The madman had been expecting the Brazilian wing-back to join him at the Bernabeu, but it backfired.

McCone came to Manchester City to meet his mentor Jose Mourinho, not forgetting to salute first and then soldier, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez also communicated, the two played for Manchester United, and won a lot of honors together, the broadcast camera accurately and keenly observed every detail, making people feel like enjoying a blockbuster, you may be able to understand that football matches, especially summit conversations, are not just 90 minutes of play, but contain a lot of things.

The Champions League has always been a proud honor for Real Madrid, with nine Champions League trophies in the Santiago Bernabeu's trophy showroom, and Mancini also said with envy, "It will take 100 years for us to catch up with Real Madrid's glory." "Real Madrid has experienced the era of 5 consecutive Champions League titles, and has also encountered the embarrassing "Champions League 16" period, but overall, Real Madrid's 50-year Champions League history is still extremely brilliant.

The Bernabeu is Real Madrid's Champions League mecca. Since the 1962-63 season, Real Madrid have won 41 and drawn two in their Champions League opener at home, and in fact, the only two draws in Real Madrid's Champions League home debut are also a long way off.

In 1960-61 they drew 2-2 with Barcelona and in 1962-63 they drew 3-3 with De Lecht. For Mourinho, his Champions League home debut in Real Madrid's past two seasons was also extremely smooth, beating Ajax 2-0 in the 10-11 season, and Higuain scored twice; In the 11-12 season, it was also a 3-0 victory over the Eredivisie giants, with Ronaldo, Kaka, and Benzema making contributions successively, and this 3-2 victory over Manchester City can be called the most thrilling home victory.

The 3-2 victory is a milestone in Real Madrid's Champions League, the 92-93 Champions League was restructured into the Champions League, Real Madrid won 3 championships, including Heynckes 1 time, Bosque 2 times, and the number of wins also ranked first among European giants: 100 wins, Manchester United won 98 Champions League games ranked second, Barcelona won 97 games, Bayern won 81 games, Milan 69 games, this is the top 5 teams after the restructuring of the 92-93 season.

It should be pointed out that Real Madrid's 100 wins are only counted after the restructuring of the 92-93 season, if you add the Champions Cup era, Real Madrid's total of 348 Champions League wins reached 203, still the first among European giants, followed by Bayern 143, Barcelona 135, Manchester United 132, and Milan 119.
