Chapter 391 Different Semifinals, Same Ending
Compared with the British media's emphasis on Manchester City's return to the top of the list and the upcoming Manchester derby, the European media, and even the world media, have put more attention on the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.

In the two games of the first round, in the first half of the division, Bayern played against Barcelona at home in the first game, and finally shook hands 1-1.

Although Bayern did not lose to Barcelona, ​​they were scored an away goal by Barcelona, ​​which became a hidden danger of advancing to the semi-finals.
Needless to say, in the second half, Manchester City beat Real Madrid by two goals in an away game, and they have fully grasped the advantage of promotion.

But even so, it cannot be said that Manchester City will surely advance to the Champions League final. After all, Real Madrid is not an underdog, and the situation of a two-goal lead being overturned has not never happened in the Champions League in the past.

What makes the media even more interested is that in this season's Champions League semi-finals, the teams of Yang Mo, Ronaldo, and Messi are all there.

This gives reliable support to the statement that the three pillars of world football have been hyped by the media.

Recently, a very coincidental thing happened to these three people.

In the last round of the league, Yang Mo scored two goals against Wolves, raising his cumulative league goals to 49, one step away from breaking [-].

In La Liga, Barcelona slaughtered their opponents with seven goals in the game against Rayo Vallecano. Among them, Messi also scored twice, bringing his total number of goals to 47, closely following the pace of Yang Mo.

In Real Madrid's match against Sevilla in this round, Ronaldo was unwilling to admit defeat and scored two goals, bringing the total number of goals to 44, and did not let the first two go too far.

The confrontation between the three top stars, you vying for each other, made the media and fans completely mesmerized.

In addition to the league scorer list, these three shooters also ranked first, second, and fourth in the Champions League scorer list.

Yang Mo is first, Messi is second, and Ronaldo is fourth.

Before Ronaldo, a player Gomez, who is also in the Champions League semi-finals team Bayern, was added.

The player who was once bought by Bayern at a record transfer fee in the German league was completely overshadowed by Yang Mo's performance during the time when Van Gaal and Yang Mo ruled Bayern, so he was not valued by Van Gaal.

However, when Yang Mo left Bayern and Van Gaal left, Gomez was trusted by the new head coach Heynckes, and he shined this season and broke out completely.

This season, Gomez not only scored 23 goals in the league, but also ranked second in the Bundesliga scorer list.

In the Champions League, he scored 12 goals, putting Ronaldo under him.

Many German media are commenting that Van Gaal would not use this player at the beginning.

Of course, many people said that Gomez was too suppressed by Yang Mo, and Gomez would have exploded without Yang Mo.

It's a pity that this kind of remarks can be said in private, and I'm afraid they will be ridiculed by everyone if they are put on the public face.

Gomez is great, but he is far from Yang Mo's dominance in the league and the Champions League.

Not to mention that the fans and the media do not agree, I am afraid that Heynckes, who is now reusing Gomez, will not agree.

If there is a chance, he can exchange Gomez for Yang Mo, I am afraid Heynckes will be [-]% willing.

Regardless of whether the outside world is talking about the Champions League or the league, or comparing Yang Mo with someone, in Manchester City's Carrington training base, all Manchester City players are training seriously.

April is over, and only entering May, although the Manchester derby with Manchester United is crucial, before this game, there is still a Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid waiting for Manchester City.

In order not to be disturbed by the outside world, Mancini even canceled the team's media public open day, and completely focused on training and preparing for the game.

After all, there are only three games left in the league at this time, and the Champions League is also at the final semi-final match. The results of a season are about to come to light.

On the training ground of Manchester City's first team, Yang Mo and his teammates have just completed three 10-minute simulation training and are sitting on the chairs on the sidelines to rest.

After the Wolves game, he returned to Manchester and lived in the apartment his assistant had found for him.

As Mancini stepped up his training recently, the apartment was rented in a timely manner, which saved him a lot of time just on the way to the base.

For example, many teammates who live in the outer suburbs have to drive for three to 10 minutes just to get from their residence to the team every day, which is too troublesome.

He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The teammates around him were chatting one after another, and the content drifted into his ears unconsciously.

Not far away, Aguero, who has just been able to participate in the recovery training, is pulling Nasri to chat about which nightclub has beautiful girls, while Balotelli is unwilling to interject.

Hearing Balotelli's voice, Yang Mo couldn't help sighing in his heart.

At the end of the season, in order to pursue stability, even Mancini, who has been protecting Balotelli, did not dare to let Balotelli play.

After all, after Aguero came, even Dzeko's starting position was shaky, not to mention Balotelli, who had an average performance and continued to have problems.

In recent games, Balotelli didn't even make the squad a few times, not to mention playing.

Yang Mo heard that Manchester City has recently put this problem child on the shelf, and it is a foregone conclusion that Balotelli will leave in the summer.

But fortunately, this kid is also an optimist. He has not had any competition tasks recently, but he just indulged himself a lot. This problem child can be seen in nightclubs in Manchester every night.

In fact, apart from Balotelli, Manchester City chairman Mubarak also communicated with Yang Mo, saying that some players in the Manchester City team will leave in the summer, and then sign in to make up for Manchester City's shortcomings and enhance Manchester City's strength.

In this regard, Yang Mo has no objection. After all, Manchester City's performance this season is not bad, but there are still many problems.

But according to what Mubarak said, the team seemed dissatisfied with Dzeko's performance at the end of the season and wanted to find a replacement for Dzeko in the transfer market.

It's just that there is no clue about this matter now, the summer transfer period is still two months away, and the team is just planning ahead.

Just as Yang Mo was thinking about things about the team, Aguero's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Yang, how about going out to play at night?"

Obviously, after discussing with Nasri and Balotelli, this guy felt that he was going to do some activities tonight.

Thinking that there are still two days before the UEFA Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid, Yang Mo feels that the recent competition, tactical training, and newly added talent upper limit training have made his nerves seem to be tense, and it is good to relax in time. He nodded in agreement.

In the evening, after training, Yang Mo got into Aguero's Aston Martin and drove all the way to the selected nightclub.

This night, the few people had fun and relaxed, so there was no need to show too much.

Anyway, on the second day, the headline of the "Sun" was the title of Manchester City's main players greedy for nightclubs before the battle, and a bunch of alarmist comments were written by the way.

Right above this report is a photo of Yang Mo and the others drinking alcohol surrounded by young models and beauties.

In the photo, Yang Mofang is the biggest.

Yang Mo is now a top star in European football and even world football, and his every move has attracted much attention.

As soon as the "Sun" report was published, many newspapers in Europe and even Asia reprinted it. Of course, Yang Mo stood out.

Compared with Yang Mo's performance in the field on weekdays, the majority of people who eat melons are actually equally interested in Yang Mo's spare time.

Yang Mo's visit to the nightclub is actually not a big deal in professional football.

And it's not that Yang Mo hasn't been there before, and it's not that he hasn't been reported.

But who would have guessed, it is not known whether the Champions League match is imminent, or whether Yang Mo's news has become more popular recently. I don't know why this news has suddenly attracted much attention and has been reprinted a lot.

As a result, at noon the next day, the day before Manchester City's game against Real Madrid, Black Yeh, who was affected by the report, called to question Yang Moxing.

Speaking of which, although Aguero and the others called a lot of young models while visiting the nightclub the night before yesterday, Yang Mo, who was not interested in these unknown women, actually did not contact them at all.

But who would want to be photographed by the reporter of "The Sun" using the camera angle, and then make up out of context in the report, making it really look like he did something.

When Black Ye called, Yang Mo was having a tactical meeting with his teammates and the coaching staff.

Mancini paused the meeting for Yang Mo's sake, and waited for Yang Mo to finish answering the call.

But what Yang Mo didn't expect was that Black Ye didn't know that the emotion was wrong, and he was holding on to that matter, no matter how Yang Mo explained it, it was useless.

Seeing a team waiting for him, Yang Mo, who has always had a good temper with Blackleaf, finally couldn't help it.

"You are unreasonable! Since you don't believe me! Then I did it!"

After yelling, Yang Mo hung up the phone directly.

Back in the meeting room, even though Yang Mo had called far away and was not heard by his teammates and the coaching staff, anyone who saw Yang Mo's expression knew that Yang Mo must have lost his temper just now.

On the other end of the phone, Black Ye heard Yang Mo's roar, saw that Yang Mo actually hung up her phone, and threw the phone to the ground angrily.

Beside, Black Yeh's assistant glanced at the boss's broken phone, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, Director Richard asked me to ask you, is the next one going to be filmed today?"

At this time, Blackleaf was in a car inside and outside a huge studio, where she was filming a TV commercial for an endorser.

Hearing the assistant's words, Black Ye suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Ask the makeup artist to touch up my makeup and continue shooting."

The assistant knew that the call that Black Ye had just made was to Yang Mo, so he couldn't help but asked, "Would you like me to book a flight to the UK."

Hearing this, Black Ye stared at the assistant coldly, without saying anything.

Facing Black Ye's target, the assistant shrank his neck in fright, "I... I'd better help you buy a new mobile phone."

On May 5, at the Etihad Aviation Stadium in Manchester, the Champions League semi-final, the second round of Manchester City's match against Real Madrid will begin soon.

Half an hour before the start of the game, Manchester City fans from all over the world, as well as more than [-] Real Madrid fans, had already filled the stadium.

Holding the hand of the little caddy, Yang Mo led the starting teammates into the court.

He looked around. The blue stands gave him a boost of confidence. This was his territory.

But looking back at the last game in Spain, the Bernabéu Stadium had a capacity of more than 8 spectators, and then looked at Manchester City, a stadium that can only accommodate more than 4 people. He felt that the Etihad Airways Stadium could no longer meet the current Manchester City.

But he knew that Mansour had already started arranging the renovation plan of the Etihad Aviation Stadium a few months ago, and he heard that the final renovation design had been released.

According to Mubarak, although the matter is still confidential, after the end of this season, Manchester City will announce the renovation plan of the Etihad Airways Stadium.

As soon as the season is over, the Etihad Airways Stadium will be in a state of transformation.

After an eighteen-month construction period, a new Etihad Airways Stadium with a capacity of 8000 people will become Manchester City's new home stadium.

Hearing such a large-scale renovation plan, Yang Mo felt that it was no longer renovation, but a new construction.

However, although the new stadium is worth looking forward to, starting from next season, Manchester City will rent other stadiums for at least one and a half seasons.

Today, the matter of renting the stadium is also under intense negotiation. Of course, Manchester City's preferred target is Old Trafford in the same city.

However, if Manchester United disagrees, Manchester City can only go back to the next best thing and find a team in the nearby Manchester City area, such as Wigan Athletic or Bolton.

Of course, according to Yang Mo's estimation, there should be no problem renting Old Trafford.
After all, as long as the money is sufficient, the Glazer family will not care about any rivals in the same city, and Manchester City does not lack money.

With the end of the pre-match ceremony and the official start of the game, a series of thoughts about the new stadium in Yang Mo's mind came to an end.

Others said that after he stepped on the field, he was a completely different person from off the field, but Yang Mo felt that this was the performance of concentrating on the game.

For the second round of the semi-final against Real Madrid, Manchester City has made sufficient preparations from training to pre-war meetings.

Therefore, Yang Mo is very confident about the result of the competition.

Although after the start of the game, Real Madrid showed the strength of their top giants, but due to Pepe's suspension and the impact of the total score behind, Real Madrid played very aggrieved in this game.

Because Mancini had no intention of playing against Real Madrid at home, he defended with all his strength at the beginning of the game. Neither Dzeko nor the injured Aguero played, so he put Yang Mo at the front as an arrow, like Real Madrid you It is true that he has the ability to attack with all his strength.

On the sidelines, Mourinho was very tired looking at Manchester City's "promising" formation.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid struggled to maintain a 0-0 score until the intermission under the embarrassment of both offensive and defensive ends.

After the start of the second half, Mourinho realized that it would be nothing more than a slow death like the first half, so he replaced the offensive player from the beginning and started to attack wildly.

And Real Madrid's offense did pay off quickly. In the 72nd minute of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo made a long-range shot with his iconic right foot in the upper right corner of Manchester City's penalty area to help Real Madrid gain the spirituality of the game.

But before Real Madrid was happy after scoring the goal, Yang Mo immediately returned the favor.

Only 4 minutes after Real Madrid scored, Manchester City central defender Lescott took advantage of a pass error in Real Madrid's frontcourt and successfully intercepted the ball. Manchester City also played a symbolic Yang Mo counterattack.

Lescott made a long pass from the backcourt, and Yaya Toure in the midfield received the ball and passed the ball to Yang Mo in the frontcourt again.

After Yang Mo received the ball in the frontcourt, he threw away the defender with his speed and rushed into the penalty area to form a single shot. The last stepping smash changed direction and shook Casillas, and successfully pushed and hit the goal, helping Manchester City tie the score.

And only 7 minutes after Yang Mo scored this goal, Manchester City once again took advantage of Real Madrid's opportunity to attack and counterattacked with the opportunity of all players pressing up.

It was still Yang Mo, this time he caught the ball in front of the penalty area and did not single-handedly, but scored twice with a long shot.

This goal is also the last goal of the game.

Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home, and eventually doubled Real Madrid to advance to the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 4-1.

On the court, Yang Mo led the fans in the stands to play the blue wave.

Not far away, Ronaldo put his hands on his hips helplessly, his eyes flushed.

This scene happened to be photographed by a reporter from the French "L'Equipe", so after the game, the L'Equipe published such an article.

"Different semi-finals, same ending. "

"In the semi-finals of the Champions League two years ago, Ronaldo was defeated by the superboy who just came out of the Eredivisie. This time it was the semi-finals of the Champions League. Ronaldo fell at the feet of the same person again..."
