Football: From Bundesliga debut

Back in the league, after Manchester City won West Brom at home, they will face Paris Saint-Germain again at home.

When the second round of the top 4 on April 13 begins.

Everyone was surprised. Manchester City chose a set of passive tactics at home, which made Paris powerless.

City held on to a first-half clean sheet after Sergio Aguero missed the decisive penalty, which set the stage for their second-half winner.

It's not a big problem for Aguero to miss a penalty kick.

Think of it as returning one to Paris, after all, such things have happened to others.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City slowly pressed up, and finally with De Bruyne's home goal, this made Manchester City have the last laugh in this game.

However, a picture after the game made many people start to speculate whether Ibrahimovic would invite Zheng Lin to leave Manchester City. After all, the two guys chatted for a long time when exchanging jerseys.

At the same time, their opponents were also released, Real Madrid, one of the top giants in Europe.

Although they lost to Wolfsburg 0-2 in the first round, they set off a counterattack when they returned to the home court. In 10 minutes, they beat each other 3-0, and finally won the promotion place .

At this time, for the fans of the Premier League, this is undoubtedly their only one seedling to enter the semi-finals. This was also ridiculed by those who cared, "The most intense league has only one semi-finals. It's embarrassing to say it!"

Yes, the Premier League, known as the most intense league in Europe, has only Manchester City in the final four, and their next opponent will be Real Madrid. This news can be regarded as the "death" of Manchester City!
Manchester City, who returned to the Premier League, was not disturbed by such a situation.

They won Chelsea and Stoke City before the start of the semi-finals.

In the end, they ranked second with 69 points, only 2 points behind the third Tottenham, and 4 points behind the third Arsenal.

The top of the Premier League is the little-known Leicester City.

They sit at the top of the table with 76 points.

With 3 league rounds left, Manchester City once again fell into the same passive situation as last year.

With 3 points in 9 rounds and 2 draws and 1 loss for Leicester City, Manchester City will have a chance to compete for the final championship.

The probability of this is too small!

And their semi-final opponent Real Madrid is even more powerful. If they want to enter the final, this strong enemy must always be faced!

But there is still good news for Manchester City-that is, Real Madrid's top card Ronaldo will miss the first round, so this is when they grab points, if there is no way to grab them, then after Ronaldo returns, Then this game will be troublesome!
On the contrary, it is the Spanish media, and many media have come forward to comment on the history of Manchester City and Real Madrid.

[Judging from the bill of honor, Real Madrid crushed Manchester City, and the only thing that can suppress Real Madrid is the history of the establishment of the club. 】

[At present, Zheng Lin is probably the only one who is capable of playing in Real Madrid in Manchester City, and the rest can be used as a rotation player. 】

[There is no suspense in this game that Real Madrid will win! 】

One of the "lace" news made many Manchester City fans very upset. Why do they say that only Zheng Lin is suitable for Real Madrid? They also have an excellent midfielder like De Bruyne, let alone De Bruyne in their eyes Fits the eye.

Caucasian, handsome, and the team's midfield commander, this is his plus point.

And Zheng Lin did a good job except for the midfield command, but the cost of signings was enough to make them unhappy.

However, in the key matches of the semi-finals, they will not be too obvious. After all, once they enter the semi-finals, this is a proof of Manchester City's resurgence, and it proves that they can already compete with Manchester United for fans in the Manchester area!
But Real Madrid has the confidence to beat Manchester City.

Zinedine Zidane, a Real Madrid star, can be regarded as a temporary coach. He has become interested in Manchester City's midfielder.

Two people in their midfield were circled by him, Zheng Lin and De Bruyne.

When he was watching the replay of the game, he obviously noticed that after Zheng Lin retreated, the double midfielder formed by him and Fernandinho had a big obstacle in the connection between the Paris midfielder and the frontcourt.

Fernandinho delayed and Zheng Lin swept the midfield. The clear division of labor between the two kept Manchester City's midfield hardness at a high level.

In his eyes, Zheng Lin's best position is not the midfielder, he can completely become a barrier in front of the midfielder.

What he likes the most is that he does not stick to the ball, passes the ball quickly, cooperates well with his teammates, and can choose the next move according to the situation on the court.

But it's a pity that he is not in Real Madrid, otherwise he will be his unshakable starter.

Identifying some characteristics of Zheng Lin, Zidane had an idea. If Zheng Lin can come in Xia Chuang, then he will change his formation to 4312, let Zheng Lin escort the double forwards, and at the same time give to the midfielder Make the first line of defense.

The idea planted a seed in Zidane's mind, and he decided to try his hand at it this round.

In the absence of Ronaldo in the first round, Zidane no longer knows the strongest lineup in his hands.

[Forwards: Bell, Benzema, Vazquez

Midfielders: Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos
Defense: Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe, Carvajal

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas
Substitutes: Jesse, Isco, Varane, Ronaldo, etc.]

He predicted that Pellegrini should stick to his 4231 formation.

[Center: Aguero

Frontcourt: De Bruyne, David Silva, Keylor Navas
Defenders: Fernandinho, Zheng Lin

Defense: Clichy, Otamendi, Kompany, Sagna
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Substitutes: Sterling, Iheanacho, Kolarov, etc.]

From the perspective of lineup depth, Real Madrid's lineup depth will be comparable to that of Manchester City. Some teams sitting on the bench can become their starters if they change teams, but at this time they are fighting for Real Madrid once. The starters sit and work constantly.

This situation is exactly the attraction of the club Real Madrid.

But when the game has enough lineup depth, it also laid the foundation for Real Madrid to fight on multiple lines.

As long as Real Madrid next season decides on a stable lineup and starting lineup, and take turns in multi-line battles, there is a high probability that they will have a big harvest of honor in the next season!

On April 4, the first round of the Champions League semi-finals officially began.
