"Leon's close to the ground! What a ball! Cristiano Ronaldo leads the ball and continues to advance. Long shot!! Wow——!!! The ball is in! Joe Hart didn't pounce on the football! The goal is in! Shocking world waves! Real Madrid managed to break the deadlock in the first half! ”

"Alas! Joe Hart's save was a bit of a mistake, he shouldn't have been so slow to react! I didn't save the ball at all, this is not a close-range grab, it is a long-range shot that looks like it is 30 meters fast, it shouldn't be! ”

After a pause in He Wei's passionate commentary, Director Zhang unceremoniously pointed out Joe Hart's mistake in this save in the studio.

He Wei actually wanted to follow up with the explanation:

Isn't that how Joe Hart reacts every time he encounters the world's waves, and it's better to say that he's unlucky than he's wrong.

But thinking about the number of Premier League and England fans in China, He Wei finally changed his mind.

"Maybe it's also that Ronaldo's kick is too sudden and exciting, and the gods don't come often, and the world waves don't happen often! Joe Hart probably didn't expect Ronaldo to get up in that position and distance. ”

"Manchester City is very passive, as soon as this goal is scored, Real Madrid can start to shrink the formation to play Manchester City's counterattack.

The four attacking midfielders are so far forward, it is really better to pull Barry back and play a double back with Garcia, Yaya Toure just doesn't like to defend, if he doesn't cooperate with Barry on this side, the gap in the middle of Manchester City's midfield will be too big"

After He Wei exonerated Joe Hart a little, Director Zhang shook his head and directly pointed out Manchester City's formation today, which can even be said to be a mistake in the selection of personnel.

Why not talk about tactical blunders?

Because Mancini's style of play seems bold at first glance, but after closer inspection, it still feels reasonable.

The formation of 4141 is discharged, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that Mancini wants to put the main battlefield with Real Madrid on the control of the battle in the middle.

Manchester City has Silvan Nasri in front of him, Yaya Toure and Barry in the back, and in terms of technology and confrontation, they are not afraid of the midfield combination on Real Madrid's side.

Expanding the defensive line as much as possible is also a good attempt to prevent Real Madrid from counterattacking.

After all, Yaya Toure and Barry seemed to play as central midfielders today, but that was in the attacking position.

When it comes to defending, the two-man position can quickly form an interception line in front of Garcia.

Silva and Nasri were the first to contain Real Madrid's attacks on both flanks.

Yaya Toure and Barry strangled Real Madrid's counter-attacking advances in the middle of the midfield.

How, does this tactic seem quite plausible?

But the point is, Yaya Toure just likes to cut forward and attack, and if you let him play back aggressively once in a while, he can do that.

But if you want him to keep that positive attitude throughout the game, that's impossible.

After leading the team to the Premier League title last season, Roberto Mancini did not know if he had developed a misconception of his managerial prestige.

He even thinks he can make Yaya Toure change his style of play and his nature.

And at this moment, he paid a heavy price for his self-confidence formation.

While Real Madrid was celebrating passionately, Mancini was also slowly recovering from the blow.

He first looked at the Manchester City players who were a little nervous in the stadium, and then looked at Yaya Toure, who had a non-existent expression.

Mancini's eyes have mixed emotions, which can be said to be both love and hate.

Perhaps, Yaya Toure doesn't even think that the goal just now was caused by his own defensive misalignment.

He will calmly blame Barry's speed, Garcia's conservative lag, and McConn's late counterpoint blowout.

But he doesn't feel like he's going to take the main responsibility.

This is him, Yaya Toure, who has a strong all-round midfielder, but now he is less and less fond of defense.

Yaya Toure, who is the core of Manchester City but does not have much sense of responsibility and sacrifice.

Jose Mourinho will not be able to take care of Mancini's emotions.

He quickly adjusted his tactics, signaling his disciples on the field to still stabilize their mentality and not press easily after scoring, so as not to give Manchester City a chance to play a quick counterattack.

Playing cup matches, there is no shame in defending against others, especially in the first Champions League group stage of the new season, and it is more important to win a good start than the scene.

So after the game restarted, Real Madrid's players did not take advantage of the momentum of the goal to actively press forward.

They continued to hold on to the half-time and let City continue across the halfway.

But Mancini wouldn't dare to do it.

He couldn't have dropped Yaya Toure on the bench just because he conceded a goal.

This is the core of his team, no matter how angry he is, he has to endure it himself!

So Barry's positional retreat became inevitable.

Manchester City also directly changed the formation and simply played four, three or three.

With Yaya Toure in front of the two midfielders, Silva and Nasri were further sidelined, giving up space in the middle to Yaya Toure for him to play better in attack.

Li Ang looked at this posture, but he was not intimidated, he and Brother Long were destined to have one of them to oppose Yaya Toure.

Then the role of this villain naturally has to be played by him.

Alonso's fitness should be more focused on organisation and counter-attacking, with Modric dropping back to assist him in complementing the midfield defence and flanks.

Leon himself, of course, is going to have a battle with Yaya Toure.

Between offense and defense, especially in the midfield, you can't retreat, and once you retreat, it will be the tearing and breaking through of the entire defense line.

Leon felt that this was a hard-fought battle, and he spoke highly of Yaya Toure's offensive prowess, so his consciousness should be more determined.

If you just go up, you can't stand it, and you must top it!

In contrast, Yaya Toure's perception of Leon is a bit more complicated.

He actually recognizes Li Ang's strength.

After all, he used to be teammates with Messi, won the treble, and knows first-hand how strong Messi's personal ability is.

can effectively limit Messi's play in one-on-one entanglement on the defensive end, and Yaya Toure is roughly aware of Leang's level on the defensive end.

But on the other hand, Yaya Toure feels that Leon's overall strength has been exaggerated by the media.

Especially after winning five annual championships with Real Madrid, the current Leon is simply a typical situation of "not worthy of the name".

The British media are almost blowing Li Ang into the back of the top five in the current team, and also said that he has the possibility of further transformation and squeezing into the top three.

This made Yaya Toure very unhappy.

A twenty-one-year-old young midfielder, the defensive end is indeed very strong, but just because he is lucky to be in Real Madrid, he has won five championships, so he has to be compared with him at a level stage?

What grade is it that was selected to be at the same level as him?

It can be said that Yaya Toure is completely dissatisfied with Li Ang because of the exaggerated propaganda of the media in various countries.

After all, after the end of last season, Li Ang stole his limelight in the public opinion circle, and also grabbed a large part of it, which is unbearable!

This will finally be the chance to face Leon head-to-head, Yaya Toure is confident that he can beat Leon one-on-one, just as he has run over one opponent after another in the Premier League.

However, at the moment when the two fought head-to-head for the first time, Leon was in pain, and Yaya Toure was not much better.

The Ivory Coast midfielder wants to teach Leon a lesson with his height and long legs, and his outstanding confrontation ability in the Premier League.

As a result, I didn't expect Li Ang's core strength to be so outstanding, and after being slightly squeezed out of him for the first time, he didn't lose his position, but once again tightly guarded up!

Li Ang held his breath and was about to force Yaya Toure's advance attempt back.

In terms of weight tonnage, he actually doesn't suffer.

Yaya Toure is currently about the same weight as him, but his height is 1.84 meters, while Yaya Toure is 1.9 meters.

In terms of proportion, his body shape is actually more solid, that is, the first hard connection to Yaya Toure's forward rush did not completely resist.

Fortunately, his core strength is strong, his lower handicap is stable, and he has psychological expectations, but he was not directly rushed away from the defensive position.

And after the grappling, seeing that Yaya Toure's confrontation was not as durable as his own, Li Ang also saw an opportunity.

After a sudden burst of squeezing, Leon quickly stabbed the ball at Yaya Toure's feet out of his control.

Luka Modric, who was watching intently, took the ball away with his clever slot, and then used a crisp diagonal pass to find Di Maria, who was racing at full speed on the right.

However, this time in the face of Barry, who was stuck in his path in advance, Di Maria's strong breakthrough was unsuccessful, and in the end he had no choice but to pass the ball back to Essien, who was still starting at right-back today.

It's a pity that the counterattack didn't work out, but the Real Madrid fans on the scene were not upset.

On the contrary, they were very happy and applauded enthusiastically for Leon, who had just defended Yaya Toure.

And at this moment, Yaya Toure's face was visibly ugly.

Red fans can't see it, after all, his complexion is too dark, but the shame revealed in those eyes is still clearly seen by the fans in front of the TV under the special care of the live camera.

If you want to change to other midfield cores who are almost 30 years old, they will calm down after being angry for a while.

Football is not a one-on-one sport, and just because you don't succeed in a confrontation doesn't mean you've failed.

In the smooth operation of the system, the final victory over the opponent is the real victory.

And who cares about such a hiccup in the middle of the race?

But Yaya Toure is not such a character.

Not to mention that he is almost thirty years old, even when he is thirty-three years old, there is no sign of maturity in dealing with conflicts with coaches.

So once again he had an iron head.

He could have used his chances to contain Real Madrid's midfield defender to create more attacking opportunities for his team-mates.

But instead of doing this, Yaya Toure chose the least efficient and most annoying way to laugh at it.

He's going to have a one-on-one battle with Leon!

If you take the ball, you have to rely on your personal strength to penetrate Real Madrid's central defense from the middle, and you will play hard!

But he didn't want to think about it, compared to confrontation and speed, he had already tried it with Li Ang just now, and he almost didn't take advantage of it.

And what about technology?

is still the same sentence, the technology is higher than Messi, and then consider using pure technology to complete the explosion of Leon, otherwise don't engage in these bells and whistles.

Yaya Toure was iron, but Leon was very happy.

Even if there were a few times when he moved a little too big and was whistled for a foul by the referee, he didn't care at all.

City's attack was launched after Yaya Toure was muted, so there was little of a threat.

If Mancini is decisive enough to take Yaya Toure directly, and then establish a new attacking system with Silva as the core, then Manchester City will still have to play.

But Mancini didn't have this determination, he was still hesitating, not daring to easily offend Yaya Toure, the core of the midfield who combines the characteristics of angels and devils.

So the situation of the game became clearer.

Manchester City's offensive rhythm is sparse, Tevez on the front line can't even get the ball a few times, but Real Madrid has used Leon's repeated break-offs to Yaya Toure to counterattack!

Mourinho originally admired Yaya Toure, but when he saw the performance of the Premier League's No. 1 defender today, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

Only thinking about attacking forward, but not paying attention to defense, and being so easy to be emotional, can he be regarded as the first back in the Premier League?

Mu Shuai suddenly gave birth to a sigh in his heart that "the Premier League is really declining".

This would put Yaya Toure back in the Premier League around 2004, and he had already been taught a one-on-one lesson by several Premier League midfielders at the time.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Real Madrid took advantage of Leon's break against Yaya Toure to launch a counterattack.

This time, Leon and Luka Modric followed forward to participate in the counter-attack.

Barry and Garcia instantly felt that the defense was tricky.

Let's go and keep an eye on Real Madrid's wingers, who don't dare to let Modric and Leon continue to move forward.

But holding the middle, and putting Ronaldo and Di Maria on the side behind the defensive line?

In the midst of the entanglement, the two Manchester City midfielders can only one hold the middle and the other to keep an eye on Ronaldo.

Luka Modric chose to give Di Maria the ball in the last minute.

Li Ang, Benzema, and Ronaldo rushed forward decisively in the Manchester City penalty area in an instant!

Di Maria didn't make a strong break this time and took advantage of the situation to send a smooth cross to the ground.

Leon and Cristiano Ronaldo took away the attention of Kompany and Klich from two points in front of the box.

Benzema withstood Nastasic's defensive interference and scrambled to the near corner of the goal at the back post!

Joe Hart is also out of line, there are opponent's attacking players at the first three points of the goal, and his blocking judgment will naturally follow with some mistakes, and the midfield defense line is penetrated, how to defend it? !

Joe Hart was also forced to be in a hurry, and directly fished out the football and smashed it on the turf, spraying wildly at the defenders in front of him.

Joe Hart: This will be sprayed with reason.

Kompany didn't say anything, but Yaya Toure was a little dissatisfied, and made a gesture to tell Joe Hart to shut up quickly!

Li Ang, who was celebrating with Guo Feng, turned his head and saw this scene.

The little filter in his heart about Yaya Toure was completely shattered.

Yaya Toure is not the new Vieira, and he is not as good as Vieira, far from it.

First, ask for first-hand tickets and subscriptions!
