Chapter 420 Champions League First Round

In the 24th minute, Sessegnon almost broke Manchester City's goal directly. Fortunately, Joe Hart in front of the goal reacted in time and slapped the football out of the baseline with a single palm, otherwise it would be over!
corner kick!

Sunderland got the corner.

With a bang, Sunderland's Colbeck directly sent an exquisite cross, and the football flew accurately to the rear point of the penalty area.

Colbeck's arc pass made everyone's eyes shine!
The speed of the ball was too fast, and the Sunderland fans were screaming. They believed that the ball must be scored.

But Joe Hart stretched his arms and swung the ball away.

The sighs of the Sunderland fans have not yet come out. Sessegnon, who was ambushing in the middle of the penalty area, volleyed directly, and kicked the saved football directly into Manchester City's empty goal.

1: 0!

Sunderland took the lead.

Sessegnon scored his first Premier League goal!
Sessegnon is very excited and excited, this is his first goal!

The whole Sunderland fans are very excited and excited.

They are ahead of Manchester City!
Some of the Manchester City players didn't react, did they concede the ball?

Manchester City's players did have some problems today, and their condition is not very good.

After losing the ball, Manchester City's players worked very hard and counterattacked very actively.

But today their state is really not very good, especially David Silva.The madness of the last game made him a little exhausted, and he obviously didn't run so much in this game.

Manchester City still has an offensive, but the effectiveness is really not high.

On the contrary, Sunderland's offense played very well, often threatening Manchester City's goal.

After taking the lead, Sunderland recovered their formation and played a defensive counterattack against Manchester City.

This is the rhythm they are good at!
It can be seen that Sunderland attaches great importance to this game. They not only want to get a goal, but also want to get the first three points of the season.

I have to say that the players of the Sunderland team are very dedicated and serious. They are united and want to defend this game.

Sunderland goalkeeper Mignolet today, performed very well.

The goalkeeper of weak teams, although Mignolet is not well-known, but can become a starter in the Premier League team, naturally has a trustworthy strength.

In this game, Mignolet proved himself.

Facing the close shots of Pedro and Aguero, he actually threw the football out.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City fell behind by one away goal.

During the intermission, Duncan was cheering for his players, reminding the players of Manchester City to let them perform well and cheer up.

At the beginning of the second half, the Manchester City players were encouraged and launched a quick attack.

Sanchez from the wing went directly into the penalty area of ​​the Sunderland team. Facing Mignolet, he shot directly, but the football was directly rejected by the post.

Sanchez couldn't help shaking his head, he just paid too much attention to exerting force.

This goal boosted the morale of Manchester City, and Manchester City attacked and besieged Sunderland frantically.

A few minutes later, David Silva sent a wonderful through ball in the pitch, sending the ball directly to the feet of striker Aguero.

One-handed!

It's a pity that the football is a little stronger, and Aguero is a little slower to keep up. He was directly shoveled out by Sunderland's central defender. Aguero missed an absolutely single-handed opportunity.

The fans of Manchester City covered their faces with their hands, which is very regrettable!

The attack in the frontcourt may be just a first-line opportunity. If you can't catch it, you will miss it.

The final game, has not been rewritten.

Manchester City lost, two consecutive defeats.

What's even more frightening is that they didn't have time to sum up. Three days later, it was the first round of the Champions League group stage away game against Werder Bremen.

Facing direct competitors, this is a game that cannot be lost!
After the game against Sunderland, the team had a two-day holiday to rest their energy.

At this time, to a large extent, it was due to the FIFA virus in the summer, and this was the initial stage.

In this game, Manchester City gathered one day in advance and flew from Manchester to Bremen.

Weser Stadium, Bremen, Germany.

This is the first UEFA Champions League group match this season. Fans from both sides attach great importance to this game. Many fans got on the plane and came to the scene to cheer for their teams.

In this game, Manchester City carried out a rotation, with a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

David Silva, Pedro, Diego Silva and Andriy Shevchenko were all absent from the starting lineup, and Duncan rested them.

Even if it is the first round of the Champions League, the team still has to think about the entire league.

Werder Bremen is still very strong, and their lineup is not weak at all.

The game started soon, and Werder Bremen quickly took the initiative in the field and attacked Manchester City's goal.

Manchester City's lineup today has a lot of rotation players, including Diego Costa and David Luiz who joined in the summer. They have been attacked by Werder Bremen frenziedly, and Manchester City's defense is a bit chaotic.

In the No.205 minute of the first half, Werder Bremen's wide player Willis made a precise pass and passed the football into the center of Manchester City's penalty area. Almeida in the center of the penalty area quickly After plugging in, he jumped directly to the top and hit the football hard with his head.

The football flew into the Manchester City goal with rapid speed.

The ball was really too close and full of power, Joe Hart couldn't do anything about it.

This is no surprise to the fans of Werder Bremen, because in the previous rounds, Willis has already staged such a good show.

The fans of Manchester City gasped, the game was suspended.

But just 5 minutes later, Manchester City equalized the score.

After Ireland made continuous breakthroughs from the wing, they suddenly passed back in an inverted triangle. Hargreaves in the middle pretended to shoot from a long distance and gently pushed the football into the penalty area.Diego Costa, who plugged in later, fell directly to the ground and shoveled the football into Werder Bremen's goal.

1: 1!

The two teams drew!
The first half of the game was a tie, and the fans of both sides were very dissatisfied. They all hoped to win their opponent and take away the victory of this game.

After the start of the second half of the game, both sides attacked frantically, increased their investment, and besieged each other.

The two parties are really coming and going, so lively and exciting!
No.70 two minutes into the second half, Werder Bremen got a direct free kick in the frontcourt.Now the Manchester City fans are all on edge because the free-kick is well placed.

Marin stood in front of the goal, he took a deep breath, and then shot the football towards Manchester City's goal in an arc. The ball was very fast and the arc was very large.

The football flew straight into the upper right corner of the Manchester City goal.

Joe Hart has done his best, but he still can't stop the football from flying into the goal.

2: 1!

Werder Bremen expanded the score again and kept the result until the end.

it's over!
Manchester City lost to Werder Bremen!

Manchester City lost again!
This is Manchester City's third consecutive defeat in all competitions this season.

But the team really tried their best.

In this game, Manchester City's players performed very well, but they encountered Werder Bremen who were in good condition.
