Pepe's eyes widened in astonishment, he didn't expect the other party to be so bold that he would choose to break through when he was approaching.

This annoyed Pepe a little!

This guy doesn't take himself seriously at all!

Pepe was angry, but he didn't lose his mind.

He immediately stuck his position and didn't let Lin Quan pass easily.

The ball can pass, but the person can't!

Xavi Alonso, who was next to him, also blocked Lin Quan's line to the left at this time, and stretched out his foot to grab the ball.

If you add Aveloa behind Pepe, Real Madrid formed a three-dimensional defense against Lin Quan at the front of the penalty area.

No matter which direction Lin Quan breaks through, he will be intercepted.

Manchester City's counterattack seemed to be ending in front of Real Madrid's goal.

However, Lin Quan knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains.

Without hesitation, he rushed towards Pepe's left side, who immediately raised his arms to carry him and pushed him out, leaving him unable to dribble and adjust and shoot.

Pepe had a lot of strength, and Lin Quan seemed to be completely inferior in the physical confrontation, and was actually pushed away by Pepe.

Pepe was overjoyed when he saw that he had successfully defended, and at the same time despised Lin Quan more and more, feeling that the other party was nothing more than that.

But he was suddenly stunned, what about the ball?

Lin Quan stopped in front of him, but the ball was not at his feet!

Pepe looked up and found that the football didn't know when it was passed out of the penalty area by Lin Quan.

And outside the penalty area, a figure was inserted at high speed from behind, it was Manchester City's forward De Bruyne!

Pepe instantly understood that Lin Quan deliberately pretended to fall into the disadvantage in the physical confrontation and was squeezed away by himself, so as to make room in the middle and give De Bruyne the opportunity to shoot in front.

It's just that I figured this out, but I didn't have time to do any remedy!

Because De Bruyne kicked the ball straight on!

With a loud bang, the ball flew towards Real Madrid's goal.

Casillas, like Pepe, thought that football was in Lin Quan's corner, but he didn't expect that when he faced off with Pepe, he unknowingly passed the ball out.

At this time, seeing De Bruyne's shot, Casillas did not have enough time to react, he could only jump in a hurry.

While he was still in the air, Casillas knew he couldn't reach the ball.

With a bang, the ball flew into the net.

City scored on the first attack.

With a bang, the Etihad Stadium erupted in earth-shattering cheers!

City fans jumped and jumped in celebration of the goal.

De Bruyne, who scored the goal, was also very excited, pointing at Lin Quan and rushing towards him quickly.

De Bruyne wanted to hug Lin Quan to celebrate, but unexpectedly, Lin Quan turned around, bent down slightly and let him ride on his back, carrying him around the field to celebrate!

De Bruyne played this ball very decisively, if he hesitated for another half a second, Casillas's ability would definitely be able to react!

So although Lin Quan's pass was beautiful, De Bruyne's final handling was also crucial.

Real Madrid's defense is really strong, and relying on a few strikers to attack their defence may not be successful.

Just like just now, Pepe and the others really almost restricted Lin Quan, making him lose the space to rush forward.

However, they failed to keep De Bruyne in the back and allowed City to seize the rare opportunity.

Real Madrid will definitely not make such a mistake again, so if such an opportunity cannot be seized, it will not appear again in the future!

Thankfully, De Bruyne took the chance!

On the sidelines, Manuel Pellegrini was so excited when he saw De Bruyne score that he rushed out of the dugout waving his arms.

The players and coaching staff on the Manchester City bench were also very excited!

We're ahead of Real Madrid!

In less than five minutes of the opening game, we were ahead!

What a fantastic start!

In the box of the Etihad Stadium, Mansour, the big boss who came from the United Arab Emirates, saw the team score first, and couldn't help but stand up and applaud the players.

He is extremely glad now, glad that he decided to go to Munich to invite Lin Quan in the first place!

Before Lin Quan joined, Manchester City fell in the Champions League group stage twice, not to mention reaching the semi-finals and leading Real Madrid, and even qualifying from the group is a big problem!

But after Lin Quan joined, all this is no longer a problem!

Although this goal was not scored directly by Lin Quan, most of the credit for this goal is due to Lin Quan.

If he hadn't caught the attention of almost all of the opposing defenders and helped De Bruyne open up space, De Bruyne would not have had such a chance.

With such an early lead, does Manchester City have a chance to beat the mighty Real Madrid at home?

……

In the coach's box of the visiting team, Ancelotti, who was originally relaxed, frowned after seeing De Bruyne's goal, and his chewing gum movements couldn't help but become a lot faster.

This ball Manchester City played really beautifully, mainly because Lin Quan's handling was very beautiful.

He did not choose to fight hard with Real Madrid's defense, but deliberately created the illusion of forcing a pass, paralyzing Real Madrid's defenders, and then completing the pass with his heel very covertly.

It's a very clever and calm approach, and as long as a Manchester City player comes forward, it can form a shot.

Is this the attacking tactics of Manchester City today?

Put Lin Quan in front as a cover, and the real killer move is hidden in the back?

Ancelotti couldn't help but look at Pellegrini next to him, thinking that this old guy had prepared such a 'surprise' for himself!

But it doesn't matter, conceding away goals is to be expected for Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti wasn't too worried about that, as he didn't think he could defend against City's attack.

The key to this game is not whether Manchester City can score, but whether Real Madrid can score!

Before UEFA restructured the Champions League, away goals were a very important thing.

With the same scoreline, it is not uncommon for teams to eliminate their opponents by virtue of their away goal advantage!

So, the visitors can accept defeat but not a clean sheet.

As long as you can get away goals, anything is possible to get back at home!

Thinking of this, Ancelotti waved his hand and signaled the team to increase the offensive.

Real Madrid's attack power is not weaker than Manchester City's, Manchester City can score, Real Madrid can too!

Seeing Lin Quan assist his teammates to score, on Real Madrid's side, Ronaldo and others suddenly couldn't sit still!

The focus of this game is the direct confrontation between him and Lin Quan!

After Manchester City's double defeat of Barcelona, the outside world's doubts about whether Lin Quan can stand side by side with Melo have disappeared for the most part.

If Lin Quanneng leads Manchester City to beat Real Madrid again in this game, then he can not only be among the ranks of Melo's peerless duo, but even overwhelm these two and rank ahead of them.

And this is absolutely unacceptable to Ronaldo!

His competitive spirit could not accept such a defeat!

As a result, Ronaldo's performance in the front court became extremely positive.

In the 7th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot in front of the penalty area grazed the crossbar and flew into the stands, and the Portuguese hugged his head in frustration.

Just five minutes later, he received a pass from Luka Modric, shook Demichelis and burst into the box, but the last shot was a bit too big and was disrupted by Joe Hart.

Before the big injury transformed into a center forward, Ronaldo was not a pure pie striker.

At this time, Ronaldo is fast, strong in dribbling, can break through, can score goals, and his abilities are not only strong, but also comprehensive, almost the ceiling of the winger position!

Therefore, at this time, Ronaldo is called by fans - Phnom Penh Ronaldo!

When defending him one-on-one, Kolarov was beaten very awkwardly and often needed the help of his teammates.

And these attackers in Real Madrid's frontcourt are all strong, once Manchester City's players divide multiple people to defend Ronaldo, the number of defenders in other positions is not enough!

In the 22nd minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo once again attracted his opponent on the wing, Modric moved the ball to the other side and put it in the hands of Bale.

Bale, unlike Benzema, is an ambitious master.

He knows that Ronaldo is strong, but he firmly believes that he is stronger.

Therefore, Bale wants to be the number one star of Real Madrid and compete with Ronaldo for the position of the boss of the team!

At this time, after receiving a pass from Modric, Bale quickly picked up his speed and launched an attack towards Manchester City's penalty area.

After Zabaleta suffered a loss, this time he didn't dare to rush up again.

He stepped back sideways, guarding against Bale's passes, ready to turn and fight for possession.

However, as soon as Bale saw the opponent's posture, he actually chose to pass.

Luka Modric, who came to pick up, received a pass from Bale and then played the ball forward and behind Zabaleta.

Luka Modric has seen Bale's pace and he believes Bale will be able to get the ball ahead of Zabaleta.

Bale didn't disappoint, as he began to rush forward when he passed the ball to Modric, grabbing the ball before Zabaleta.

This time, Kroos stared at Isco in front of him and didn't go to help defend Bale.

That gave Bale the chance, as he dribbled into the box at great speed, avoiding Kompany, and dribbling to the right of the net to finish from a tight angle.

The ball was a close slash, and Joe Hart immediately fell to the ground to save, blocked it with his hand, and tried to save.

But the force of the ball was so great that it refracted on his hand, hit the crossbar and bounced into the net!

1:1！

Real Madrid equalized in the 23rd minute of the first half!

After scoring the goal, Bale ran wildly, ran all the way to the camera on the sidelines, clenched his fists, and roared at the camera, his hideous appearance was exactly the same as the great sage in Journey to the West!

The Real Madrid players rushed to Bale, surrounded him in the middle, and celebrated wildly with him.

Only Ronaldo, who was relatively far away, did not pass, and the Portuguese only applauded symbolically and did not run over to join in the fun.

In fact, he was very unhappy in his heart.

Just now, I obviously stretched out my hand to ask, and the guy Modric actually passed the ball to Bale.

Forget it if you pass it to Bell, this guy actually scored!

This made Ronaldo a little surprised, Lin didn't exchange jerseys with him, why did Modric, your little brother, betray Big Brother?

Ancelotti applauded with satisfaction when he saw the team equalize, but his emotions did not seem to be too excited, giving people a feeling that everything was under control.

The 5,000 Real Madrid fans who came to the away stadium were not as calm as their manager, and when they saw Bale score, they frantically chanted Bale's name.

This scene made Bale very useful, and he was quite proud in his heart, it seems that his popularity in the Real Madrid team is still very high!

The main reason why Bale wants to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo for the position of the leader of the team is his transfer fee.

When he transferred to Real Madrid, it was the first transfer fee in football, which was higher than Cristiano Ronaldo that year.

Coming to the Galaxy Battleship with the highest transfer fee in football, let alone Bale, it is impossible to be someone else without ambition!

Besides, Ronaldo will be able to do it, and I still have the speed advantage that Ronaldo doesn't have, so why can't I be the boss?

Manuel Pellegrini frowned, and although it was Bale, the key to the goal was Modric's pass.

If you make up for that Modric, I am afraid that he will become a huge hidden danger for Manchester City.

So Pellegrini beckoned and gave Yaya Turrell a face.

In the following game, Yaya Toure began to keep an eye on Modric.

It's just that the effect of this trick is not very good, because the core of Real Madrid's organization is not only Modric!

After Luka Modric was marked, Real Madrid quickly transferred the playmaking to Xavi Alonso.

Before Luka Modric arrived, Xavi Alonso had been the brains of Real Madrid's midfield.

However, after a series of injuries last year, his playing time has decreased and his form has also declined to a certain extent, which has gradually retreated into the background, and most of the team's playmaking responsibility has been handed over to Modric.

But that doesn't mean Xavi Alonso can't do that kind of work.

Xavi Alonso's position is deeper, plus his physicality is better and he is more physical.

City's front-court players were far less effective at pressing and disrupting him than they were against Luka Modric!

In the 32nd minute of the first half, after Xavi Alonso evaded De Bruyne with the ball, he looked up to observe the position of the players on both sides of the field, and quickly sent a long pass of more than 40 meters.

Xavi Alonso's long ball is different from other people's long passes, the football is like an eye at his feet, and this kind of ultra-long overhead long ball can always easily find a teammate in the front court, or pass to the opponent's weak defence.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi Alonso have been teammates for four or five years and know his passing skills inside out.

Seeing Xavi Alonso looking up, Ronaldo immediately started to run.

He believes that as long as he can run out of the air, his teammates will definitely pass the ball to him!

Modric and Bale are both from Tottenham, and the relationship between the two is better, and it is normal for Modric to favor Bale.

But Xavi Alonso came from Liverpool and came to Real Madrid from the Premier League in the same year as himself.

The relationship between the two is definitely closer than the relationship between him and Bale, so the probability of this ball being passed by Xavi Alonso to himself is greater.

Ronaldo's judgment is still very accurate, he ran and ran, the football fell in front of him, this ball Xavi Alonso not only came to him, but also calculated the amount of advance in advance, if Ronaldo did not start in advance, he would not have been able to get this goal at all!

Well passed!

Cristiano Ronaldo praised in his heart, easily unloaded the ball with a masterful stop, and then kicked the ball towards the goal before the defender stepped forward to interfere.
