Chapter 879: Variables Appear - Red Card, Red Dot Package!
"Drop! ……”
At eight o'clock sharp, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game!
An earth-shattering shout rang out from the Kruyinf Arena.
The decisive battle has begun!
Not to be outdone, the Manchester City fans were quick to drown out the shouts of the Ajax fans......
Manchester City's midfield launched an aggressive high press, forcing Ajax to move the ball faster.
The competition was fierce from the start.
In the fifth minute of the first half, Ajax found an attacking opportunity in the huge shouts of the fans!
De Jong planned an attack on the right flank, and full-back Mazraoui stepped in to attack, and after winning the ball on the wing, he forced his way through Delph's defense and crossed with a kick!
Football flies towards the Manchester City penalty area!
Kompany yelled at his partner Laporte, who was about to take off in front of him: "I'm coming! ”
The next moment, Kompany jumped to his feet, beat Dolberg, and pushed the football out of the penalty area!
De Jong squeezed David Silva out of control and then fired a ball over the top!
The ball flies towards the left side of the penalty area!
Tadic, under the interference of Walker, pushed the football out of the bottom line!
"Coax! ……”
The Kruyinf Arena resounded with a loud cry of regret, followed by thunderous applause.
The Dutch National Sports Narrator commentator shouted: "Under the organization of De Jong, Ajax has continuously posed a threat to Manchester City's goal!
It's a pity that Tadic's header goes over the crossbar!
This is a good sign! ”
The Manchester City Sports commentator praised Kompany: "Kompany is the most consistent point in the Manchester City back line! ”
The Sky Sports commentator said: "Ajax had nine players involved in this attack!
With no way back, Ajax has shown its ambitions!
They told the world that they were going to replicate the Liverpool miracle at the Kruyinf Arena tonight! ”
The game restarted, Manchester City reversed the ball at the back, and Ajax really launched a ferocious high press as Guardiola guessed!
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.
The Manchester City players showed their delicate skills, making quick passes in their midfield and back, and they were going to wear down Ajax's fighting spirit.
Ajax's midfielders are full of fighting spirit and run desperately in the front court.
"Shhhh ……”
There were huge boos from the Ajax fans.
To provoke the City players, they shouted: "We have four Champions League trophies!" ”
Manchester City fans knew it was their war and fought back: "When Ajax won the Champions League, you were kids! ”
Fans fight in the stands and players fight on the pitch.
The battle on and off the field was fierce.
In the twelfth minute of the first half, Kompany suddenly made a long pass and launched a quick counterattack with a long pass!
The target of his pass is Li Chuanqi!
The Ajax defence was unfazed and they had adapted to City's tactics in the first leg, with two players blocking Lee's path and creating disruptive opportunities for centre-back De Ligt.
De Ligt lived up to expectations by pushing the ball off the touchline and disrupting Kompany's long ball on a quick counter-attack!
Li Chuanqi gave Kompany a thumbs up.
Walker sent in a quick throw-in and City launched an attack on the right.
However, under the strong resistance of Ajax, Manchester City had to move the football to the midfield and try to attack from the left.
This attack was not without success, letting City know that Ajax's defensive focus was on the right flank.
David Silva picked up the ball and linked up with Raheem Sterling, who picked up the ball and broke down the flanks in an attempt to get away from the defence and send the ball to the most dangerous place.
However, the game had only just begun, and with plenty of fitness, Raheem Sterling was unable to tear through the defence and had to pass the ball back to Delph, who was following him.
Under Ajax's tight defence, City's attack was bogged down.
However, City are not anxious about this, after all, they are the side that leads the aggregate scoreline.
Consuming time is exactly their strategy.
In the sixteenth minute of the first half, under the ferocious pressing of Ajax, Manchester City made a passing error, and De Jong received the pass from Schine, and advanced at high speed with the ball!
Ajax launched a quick counterattack!
Manchester City's midfield retreated like a tide, leaving Li Chuanqi alone at the front.
"Smack!"
De Jong made a diagonal pass, and after Feltman on the right, he squeezed Delph away and sent the ball forward to form an attacking opportunity!
Manchester City fans are worried.
Ajax fans see hope of scoring!
"Smack!"
Feltman crosses from outside the box!
De Jong took the ball to get rid of Gundogan's scramble and made a diagonal pass!
The ball flies towards the left side of the penalty area!
Tadic arrives!
Manchester City right-back Walker saw that the opponent was about to control the football, and took a risky flying tackle!
"Ahh ……”
Tadic voluntarily touched Volker's leg with his left foot, let out a scream, and fell in the penalty area!
"Drop! ……”
The referee blows the whistle and points to the penalty spot!
The Dutch national sports commentator shouted excitedly: "Penalty! Tadic went down in the box and the referee awarded a penalty! ”
The Manchester City sports commentator regretfully said: "Walker is a strong player, but this time he is too reckless......
The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed: "In the sixteenth minute of the first half, the situation changed dramatically, and De Jong's diagonal pass created an attacking opportunity for Ajax!
Tadic was about to finish his shot, but was brought down by Walker!
Penalty kick!
Ajax have their best chance to score!
And...... Sure enough, it's a red card!
The referee showed a red card to Walker!
Red!
Red Dot Package! ”
On the field, Walker, who was arguing with the referee, looked at the red card in front of him and looked dazed.
"Referee! You should check out VR! He touched my leg on purpose! ”
The referee's decision made Manchester City very unhappy, the players surrounded the referee, and Guardiola angrily found the assistant referee......
The scene was chaotic.
"Shhhh ……”
The City fans booed the referee.
However, their boos were immediately suppressed by Ajax's applause.
The Manchester City fans in front of the TV turned pale and were red-carded...... God, the game has only been played for ten minutes......
The Manchester City fan forum is full of angry voices:
"Black Whistle! Damn it! Definitely a black whistle! ”
"Damn it! What is UEFA doing here? Do they not want Manchester City to reach the final? ”
"This must be a conspiracy! UEFA conspiracy! ”
"Tadic is such an obvious fake fall, the referee doesn't even look at VR?"
Other fan forums, especially those of Ajax and other giants of the Premier League, are boiling:
"Kudos to the referee!"
"Arrogance! I see how arrogant you are! ”
"Come on, Ajax! UEFA is on your side! ”
"Manchester City will follow in the footsteps of Barcelona!"
"The miracle is going to happen again!"
