The midfield king of football life

Chapter 156 023 Transformation Battle "Blue Moon" (2)

October 10, Manchester City Stadium.

On this day, the weather in Manchester is exceptionally strong, there is no cloud in the sky, and Manchester, which is accustomed to raining, will definitely not rain today.

Manchester City fans, wearing their proud sky blue jerseys and holding various cheering props, walked slowly into the Manchester City Stadium.The "Bumblebee" fans who came from afar outside the stadium were not to be outdone. They sang Dortmund's team song and walked neatly into this bowl-shaped stadium.

After the grand match ceremony, the referee blew the whistle for the second round of the Champions League group stage.

In China, because of Li Feng's first start, all major sports channels and sports websites rushed to broadcast the game live.

"Dear viewers, fans and friends! The second round of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League group match between Manchester City and Dortmund is about to start. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides." A domestic host said.

“曼城这边首发分别是：门将1号乔哈特，后防线5号萨巴莱塔和22号克里希分局两边，4号孔帕尼和33号纳斯塔西奇居中；21号大卫席尔瓦，14号哈维尔加西亚，42号亚亚图雷以及8号纳斯里组成中场线，锋线上则是10号哲科和16号阿圭罗搭档组成双箭头。”

“好，我们再来看一下另一边多特蒙德的阵容。诶，多特蒙德今天的阵型有所变化。锋线上11号罗伊斯、9号莱万多夫斯基和10号格策组成前场三叉戟；中场方面则是8号京多安、12号李风和6号斯文本德；后防线依然是26号皮什切克和29号施梅尔策分居两边，15号胡梅尔斯和4号苏博蒂奇双塔居中。门将依然是1号魏登费勒。”另一名主持人说道。

"China's young player Li Feng made his debut today. He should be the youngest player in our country to enter the Champions League." A host asked.

"There are only three players in our country who have actually played in the Champions League, Sun Xiang, Dong Fangzhuo and Hao Junmin. Now Li Feng is the fourth and the youngest player in the starting line-up. I hope he will perform well. After the game, let's see if our on-site reporters can interview our Chinese Pirlo—this is what domestic fans call Li Feng." A host said.

Manchester City kicked off first.This game must have that point for Manchester City, otherwise they will be very passive when they qualify for the group.

Manchester City saw that Dortmund was a 433-[-]-[-] formation, and soon they decided to open gaps from the thin midfield.

Because Li Feng is an Asian player, they don't know much about it.So Manchester City full-back David Silva started to play this side after receiving the ball.

Manchester City made the right choice. David Silva relied on his speed and body to overwhelm Li Feng. Li Feng could only constantly compress the space between him, the midfielder and the full-back with his back legs, so that Svenbender and Schmelzer had the opportunity to step forward to fill the position.

David Silva had to pass the ball back to Yaya Toure behind him when he couldn't push forward.

After receiving the ball, Yaya Toure dribbled the ball forward quickly. Seeing Dzeko who was retreating, Yaya Toure quickly passed it to Dzeko with a straight kick.After receiving the ball, Dzeko was quickly marked by Hummels.Dzeko, unable to turn around, quickly knocked the ball across to Aguero.

After receiving the ball, Aguero quickly panicked and shot a burst shot. Unfortunately, the ball was struggling and the position was wrong, and it went directly wide of the goal.

"Hoohoo..." Manchester City fans let out a huge sigh.

Coach Klopp has known for a long time that Manchester City will attack the weakness of Dortmund's midfielder, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

After Manchester City's unsuccessful attack, Dortmund's possession of the ball.Li Feng did not rush to counterattack after receiving the pass from his teammate, but controlled the rhythm very well, firmly controlling the ball in Dortmund's hands.

After seeing Manchester City's formation pressing up, Li Feng made a long pass from the wing and directly found Royce in the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Royce used his speed and feet to quickly get rid of Manchester City's defenders. When he was near the bottom line, he swept in front of the goal with a strong kick.It's a pity that Kompany's flying shovel blocked out of the bottom line.

The subsequent corner kick was jumped up and held by the Manchester City goalkeeper, and Dortmund's attack ended in vain.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City's attack was very fast, but when they reached Dortmund's penalty area, they fell into a positional attack.Dortmund compressed the defense space very densely.It has completely changed the previous practice of pressing with opponents in the frontcourt with high pressure.This made Manchester City feel like they had hit the cotton with their fists, and they couldn't use their strength.

And Dortmund also controlled the rhythm when attacking, mainly relying on Li Feng's long pass from the midfield, a typical British long pass, and every attack had to make Manchester City's defense frightened.

Throughout the first half, both sides failed to open the other's door.Manchester City's coach Mancini replaced Javier Garcia, who was completely out of rhythm, in the 34th minute of the first half and replaced Rodwell.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City accelerated the rhythm of attack and pressing, and they hoped to drag Dortmund into their rhythm of the game.

In the 57th minute, the score was still 0-0. Mancini was pacing anxiously on the sidelines.Finally, he couldn't bear it and called for a substitution again, replacing Nasri with Kolarov, and by the way told Kararov to let the players on the field press up and penetrate Dortmund's defense.

Sure enough, as soon as Kolarov came on the field, Manchester City's entire formation was pressing forward.

In the 58th minute, Yaya Toure passed the ball to David Silva on the wing, and then he and Rodwell quickly moved forward.At this time, Dortmund's midfielder Svenbender did not dare to step aside, because Manchester City had already inserted two people in the middle.

No way, Li Feng can still defend David Silva alone.Li Feng deliberately stepped aside and blocked the route to the middle.

David Silva saw the opportunity on the wing, he quickly accelerated, and used his body to rely on Li Feng to quickly break through.

Just when David Silva was about to break through, Li Feng pulled David Silva's jersey vigorously with his left hand, causing David Silva to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground.

It's a pity that this foul failed to fool the referee on the field.Li Feng received his first yellow card.

Free kick from Manchester City.

David Silva quickly took a free kick and the ball flew into the Dortmund penalty area.Dzeko, who has a height advantage, took off immediately. Dortmund's central defender Hummels made a physical confrontation with Dzeko in the air with great experience.

Fight back! ! ! !
Li Feng started to move forward immediately, and Gotze, Royce and Lewandowski on the front line all rushed to Manchester City's half at the fastest speed.

Svenbender made a through pass and passed the ball directly to Li Feng who was going forward.After Li Feng took the ball, he pushed it to the arc of Manchester City's big penalty area at the fastest speed.Taking advantage of Manchester City's defensive players' unsteady positions, Li Feng distributed the ball to the faster Royce.

After Royce got the ball, he accelerated to the bottom line, while Gotze walked to the middle, and Li Feng and Gotze switched positions.This suddenly tore apart Manchester City's defense.

Royce saw Gotze in the middle, and Manchester City's defensive players were taken away by Lewandowski and Li Feng. He quickly knocked on Gotze, and then made a wall-slamming cooperation with Gotze.

Royce, who took the ball again, has reached the penalty area.The helpless Kompany had to give up defending Lewandowski and quickly returned to defense, trying to prevent Royce from shooting with a sliding shovel.

It’s just that Kompany was still a step late. Royce calmly shot in front of the Manchester City goalkeeper, and the ball flew steadily to the far corner.

"GOALLLL........"

"Goal! Goal! Dortmund took the lead to open the gate of Manchester City. It was No. 11 Roy... S!!!!" The stadium host shouted.

Dortmund scored a goal, and coach Klopp jumped up happily on the sidelines.

After the goal, coach Klopp signaled the players to recover quickly.Even if you get 1 share in this game, it is okay for Dortmund.

So in the remaining nearly 30 minutes, Dortmund compressed the defense line very far, waiting for Manchester City to attack and then counterattack.

Even if it is his own possession of the ball, Dortmund usually makes a long pass to find the three players on the front line after Li Feng's foot.

This game made Manchester City very uncomfortable.Their good defensive counterattack was used by Dortmund to deal with them.

As time passed, coach Klopp began to make substitution adjustments.In the 75th minute, he said that Hummels, who had declined in physical fitness, was replaced by Santana.In the 83rd minute, he replaced Gundogan and replaced Gross Cruz.In the 88th minute, he replaced Gotze with Kyle.Manchester City's coach replaced Clichy, replaced striker Balotelli, and changed the formation into a 343. He is making a last-ditch effort.

In this way, Dortmund's lineup has become a 442 formation. Li Feng surprisingly played the entire game.I thought that the distance he ran in this game was not high, mainly based on long passes.

But just when Dortmund players thought they beat Manchester City 1-0.

When Manchester City's replaced forward Balotelli came up and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he was pulled to the ground by Piszczech.The referee finally awarded a penalty kick.

Balotelli is also a wonderful player. According to the order of the team, it should be the leading striker Aguero to take the penalty kick, but Balotelli strongly asked him to take the penalty because it was a penalty he created himself.

Fortunately, Balotelli made a steady penalty kick at the end and equalized the score in stoppage time.

The final result made Dortmund very depressed. They had no worries about qualifying after taking 3 points from Manchester City, but after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, they were equalized in the final stage, and 3 points became 1 point. The players and coach Klopp were also extremely depressed.
