Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 191
Sturridge ran to the sidelines to celebrate with his tongue sticking out mischievously. This scene is also quite interesting.

On the sidelines, Mourinho also wiped his eyes humorously, but he didn't see the meaning clearly. He was scolding Sturridge, but Sturridge scored a goal.

Mourinho's expression can't be changed, it can only be like this.

Jia Yi also wanted to laugh in the stands. Sturridge has this characteristic. He likes to do it by himself. Anyway, the head coach needs to be patient.

This guy must be loved and hated.

The current score must also make the visiting team desperate. Back home, they have to score three to come back. How easy is this?

Villarreal is not Deportivo, and Manchester City is not AC Milan.

In the 80th minute, Sturridge made another breakthrough with the ball in the frontcourt. After a feint outside the penalty area, he suddenly kicked and the ball flew into the goal again, 5:1!

This goal also completely killed the game. In a knockout match like the Champions League, it is difficult for Villarreal to come back.

In the following games, Villarreal continued to counterattack, trying to get back a goal or two, but Manchester City did not give them a chance.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Villarreal 5:1 at home and took the lead in the two rounds.

Pei Gong came to shake hands with Mourinho and congratulate him. It seems that he has no confidence to come back.

Mourinho also nodded at Pei Gong with great satisfaction. He is indeed satisfied with this score, and it will be no problem to go to the away game to go through the motions.

In the last game, Lyon was tied 0:0 by AC Milan at home, and the prospect of promotion is also unclear.

In the four games, the Premier League teams won two and drew one, which is not bad.

Now Manchester City has once again become a popular team in the eyes of the outside world, but some media believe that the opponents they encountered are not strong, and they cannot explain any problems.

For the second round, the media also have their own opinions. Basically, they still support their own country's team, but Villarreal has no support. With such a big score, how can there be hope for a comeback?
Back in the league, Manchester City played against Middlesbrough at home.

In order to prepare for the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Mourinho simply rotated again, using a large number of substitute players.

In the opening 10 minutes, Ilhamujiang sent a through pass after stealing from the middle, and Mandzukic caught the ball and shot directly, 1:0!

The cooperation of these two people still looks decent, and finally achieved the goal.

In the 19th minute, Ilhamujiang was still stealing in the frontcourt. He was very active in fighting, and this time he reached the direct expectation. Then he still made a pass. Mandzukic knocked on the veteran Redondo, and Redondo kicked Shot, the ball crashed into the net, 2:0!

This is also the first goal of veteran Redondo this season, and he is also very happy.

Redondo's physical fitness is not bad, and he has maintained a good season this season. In fact, he can definitely play the main force in other teams, but in Manchester City, he still has no chance.

In this kind of game, Redondo still went all out, and this goal basically sealed the victory.

The final score was 3:1. Manchester City defeated Middlesbrough at home and continued to maintain a huge point advantage.

It doesn't matter how the opponent is playing at this moment. There are only six rounds left in the league, and it's no wonder that the team can come back from a 15-point deficit.

Now that no one mentions this anymore, who will talk about this boring topic?

However, Manchester City has won four consecutive league titles, and other teams are also very sad.

Immediately afterwards, Manchester City came to the Love Song Stadium. Although Villarreal was very active, Manchester City's defense was still impeccable. They defended a 0:0 away game and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5:1.

There is no suspense about this, Manchester City still advanced strongly.

After the final whistle, there was still warm applause at the Love Song Stadium. This was the highlight moment in the history of the Villarreal team. This season, they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which made their fans proud.

Kaka also hugged Riquelme, and the two obviously sympathized with each other, and then exchanged jerseys.

Mourinho also congratulated Pei Gong. He was able to lead such a team to the quarter-finals, which indeed showed extraordinary coaching talent. Mourinho still seemed a bit different at this time.

Pei Gong is of course also very proud. He also hopes to coach a wealthy team like Mourinho.

When the players of the two teams exchanged jerseys, it looked very harmonious. Most people in Manchester City hugged each other. In fact, at this time, the mentality of the Manchester City players can already be seen, which is indeed the temperament of a wealthy team.

At this time, Manchester City has entered the ranks of the rich.

In the other three games, Arsenal drew Juventus 0:0 away and advanced to the semi-finals 2:0 in two rounds.

Arsenal, like Manchester City's tactics, insist on a strong defense, and Juventus has always been helpless.

Ibrahimovic continued to work hard in the frontcourt, but was entangled by Vieira. After this game, Juventus also offered Arsenal 5000 million pounds to win Vieira.

But they may not know that they will be in trouble soon, let alone buying Vieira, I am afraid that their players will not be able to keep them, and they will be relegated to Serie B. Who will go to Juventus?

Arsenal should have reached the extreme this season. Maybe next season, their team will not be able to reproduce their current glory. After knocking out a strong team like Juventus in two rounds, Arsenal also showed their iron-blooded style. It seems that Wen Ge also realized that in order to advance in the Champions League, not only must he be able to win, but he must also defend like today.

Without a good defense, it is difficult to win the Champions League, unless your offense can always suppress the opponent and keep scoring goals.

Another Premier League team, Manchester United, also drew Barcelona 0:0 in regular time. The two teams did not achieve anything in overtime. Manchester United's defense was also very good. The three Premier League teams all showed strong defense.

Although Barcelona worked hard to tear apart the opponent's defense through pass control, in this series, defense has become the best away tactic.

The two teams had no choice but to enter a penalty shootout, which is also a common situation in the Champions League knockout rounds.

The two teams played until the 8th round to decide the winner. The goalkeepers of the two teams performed very well. Yang Zhi even saved Ronaldinho and Iniesta's penalty kicks, and Valdes also saved the German penalty. Robba's penalty.

Makelele, who played last, kicked the ball on the goal post. In the end, Barcelona defeated Manchester United 5:4 and made it to the semi-finals with difficulty.

This season, Manchester United will also get nothing. Abramovich's mood should be very gloomy.

Huge investment, but not rewarded by the championship, Abramovich should step up his actions, and Manchester United may be even more enviable next season.

Rijkaard's team showed extraordinary ball control ability. This Barcelona team already has most of the shadows of the former dream team, but the ability to seize opportunities in front of goal is still a little weaker.

The balls passed by Ronaldinho were all good ones, but Eto'o was quite competitive in front, and he was short of a partner.

And Messi has mostly come off the bench this season. His ability has been shown, but it still takes time to shape his style.

Once this guy grows up, it will be a nightmare for other teams in Europe.

Serie A giants AC Milan defeated Lyon 3:1 at home and advanced 3:1 on aggregate.

Pirlo made two passes and one shot, and once again became the hero of AC Milan's promotion.

This time and space Kaka did not go to AC Milan, Pirlo played even better, and he is now also the core of the Italian national team.

The Lyon team also tried their best, but there is indeed a gap in strength between them and AC Milan.

The situation in the semi-finals, AC Milan vs Barcelona, ​​Manchester City vs Arsenal.

The civil war between the two Premier League teams will inevitably attract more attention. Of course, the hope of the Premier League winning the championship and runner-up is gone.

For Arsenal, who were defeated by Manchester City in the league, defeating Manchester City in the Champions League is also the last chance to prove themselves.

As for the match between AC Milan and Barcelona, ​​it is also considered to be a contest between Pirlo and Ronaldinho.

These four teams are indeed the four best teams in Europe at present, and the semi-finals are worth looking forward to.

The Times: Two Premier League teams meet in the semi-finals, no doubt once again proving the strength of the Premier League. Their promotion is very convincing, and at least one of them has entered the final, and there is great hope for another championship trophy for the Premier League , Let the Premier League achieve three consecutive Champions League titles. This is a feat, which is enough to prove that the Premier League is completely ahead of other leagues.As for who can represent the Premier League, Manchester City seems to have a better chance. They have played very dominant in the past few seasons. They are better than Arsenal on both offense and defense.Their opponent may be Barcelona, ​​but the defensive ability of the Serie A team should not be underestimated.

Daily Sports Daily: Barcelona once again reached the semi-finals. This is the best chance to win the cup. After killing the last two opponents, they can return to the top. The Premier League team is very threatening. I hope that Barcelona will not encounter it Manchester City.

Gazzetta dello Sport: AC Milan has once again become the representative of the Serie A league. Although they have not played well in the league, they have shown the demeanor of a strong team as always in the Champions League. This may be a good prelude for the World Cup. If Italian football can monopolize the Champions League and the World Cup, then there is no doubt that this will be an important year!
