Chapter 1290 Probability
"Rong! Rong! Rong! He is in Real Madrid's penalty area as if no one is in it! Tossing and turning, Real Madrid's defenders can't do anything with him!" The commentator John Mortensen shouted excitedly.

There was a huge cheer at Manchester City Stadium, louder than ever before.

All Manchester City fans jumped up from their seats, they shouted Rong Guang's name loudly, and they did not stop shouting at the top of their lungs.

The second half of the game started with a conceded goal, and everyone was looking forward to glory.

They have been looking forward to it until now, Rong Guang did not let them down, he helped Manchester City take the lead!
No matter when, Glory never fails to live up to their expectations.

"Rong helped Manchester City take the lead. Now the total score is 2:1. Manchester City is leading. Although they are only ahead by one goal, it is better than a draw or falling behind. In the next round, Manchester City still has hope!"

The TV broadcast cut to a close-up of Mourinho, his face serious.

Obviously, he was dissatisfied with this conceded goal.

But he didn't fly into a rage.At this time, he stabilized.

He knew in his heart that even if Real Madrid lost the game with this score, it would not be a bad thing.

This is the advantage of first away and then home. In the next round, when they return to their home court, Real Madrid's combat effectiveness will double, and they are only one goal behind and have an away goal. As long as they can beat Manchester City 1:0 in the next round, they can eliminate the opponent with the advantage of away goals.

Mourinho is already thinking about the second leg of the game.

While the Manchester City players were celebrating the goal wildly, he called Ozil to his side, taught him the opportunity face to face, and then asked him to tell his teammates after he came on the field.

He asked the team to focus on defense after the game restarts, and don't think about counterattacks.Now that there is not much time left in the game, Manchester City will definitely attack crazily under the encouragement of Rongguang's ball. At that time, their offensive will be very fierce. If Real Madrid is still distracted and wants to attack, they may still lose the ball.

Just don't think about scoring goals at all, and focus on defending the goal first. Losing this game 1:2 is not an unacceptable result.

After listening to Mourinho's words, Ozil returned to the court and conveyed Mourinho's instructions to his teammates.

Although many Real Madrid players don't like losing the game very much, they can only accept it now.After all, Rongguang is too fierce. If he loses another goal and loses the game 1:3, it will be completely different from 1:2.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo was a little unhappy about Mourinho's decision, he curled his lips and said nothing.

He feels that with his current state, as long as the team supports him, he is confident that he can help the team equalize in the next time.

An away goal is good, but wouldn't it be better if we could get two away goals and equalize on aggregate?

Reluctantly, except for him, everyone else supported Mourinho's decision, so he had no choice but to sulk alone with his mouth curled up.

When Manchester City ended their celebrations and returned to the game, they did use the momentum after their own goal to launch a fierce attack on Real Madrid's goal.

Because they also know that 2:1 is not a very safe score. It would be even better if they could score another goal and beat Real Madrid 3:1.

They thought Real Madrid would panic after conceding such a goal.As long as they attack with all their strength, they will be able to tear through Real Madrid's defense and score again.

But when they really did this, they realized that Real Madrid hadn't been crushed by Rong Guang's wonderful goal, and their defense was still as solid as the Great Wall of China.

City's onslaught crashed into a solid stone wall and returned in vain.

In fact, if it was Real Madrid in the past, such as Real Madrid under the coaching of "Chilean Engineer" Pellegrini, they would very likely concede another goal quickly after conceding a goal, because at that time Real Madrid's willpower was their weakest link.

And now Real Madrid, under the training of Mourinho, has become much tougher and tougher.

Even if the trident Ibrahimovic, Rong Guang, and Kaka tried their best, they couldn't score another goal in the remaining time.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Manchester City and Real Madrid fans cheered at the same time.

Naturally, Manchester City fans cheered because they finally reversed and won the game.

The Real Madrid fans cheered because the team withstood Manchester City's offensive at the last moment and did not concede any more goals. The score of 1:2 was completely acceptable for them.

So there was cheers from both sides.

However, the performance of the media after the game was different from that of the fans.

The Spanish media have said that Real Madrid has achieved an ideal result. The score of 1:2 leaves them only one goal behind, and there is also an away goal, which are all favorable factors.

The English media are not very satisfied with the result of Manchester City's game.This score is not safe, it is too dangerous.

This view is supported by data.

In the history of the Champions League, the team that lost the away game 1:2 in the first round has a 50.00% probability of advancing to the second round, which is more than half.Data and history are more optimistic about Real Madrid.

Manchester City obviously knew this too, so they launched an onslaught desperately at the last moment of the game.

It's a pity that we couldn't score in the end.

Some English media have expressed concerns about whether Manchester City can break through Real Madrid.

But glorious enough to appear confident.

"...Now we are ahead, I don't understand why so many people are not optimistic about us." He expressed his doubts when interviewed by reporters.

The reporter explained: "... From the perspective of probability, the team that lost the first round of the away game 1:2 has a higher chance of advancing..."

"Probability has no reference value. Those data belong to previous teams, and have nothing to do with us now." Rong Guang spread his hands, "Anyway, I don't believe in probability. Even if you say the probability is 90.00%, then we are [-]%."

Benitez also echoed Rong Guang's words. He said in an interview with reporters: "If you want to talk about history, as far as I know, as long as Real Madrid loses the first round of the Champions League by 1:2 in the history of the Champions League, it seems that they have never successfully advanced, right?"

The reporters who asked this question were speechless.

Because it is so...

If it is Real Madrid, the probability of advancing after a 1:2 away loss in the first leg is... zero.

Because the game against Real Madrid was very hard, many players had poor physical fitness, so Benitez made a rotation in the weekend league.

In this game, even if it was a rotation, Manchester City still looked very tired.

Sunderland is full of fighting spirit and wants to beat Manchester City away.

However, Manchester City's overall strength is still stronger than Sunderland, not to mention that it is still at their own home court.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3:2 at home. Rong Guang scored a goal in the game, which was Manchester City's second goal at the time.

Then Rongguang was replaced at No. 705 minutes, and Benitez will prepare for the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week.

Although when Rong Guang was replaced, the score between Manchester City and Sunderland was inextricably tied, 2:2.

However, it was Kaka who came down in exchange for glory.

After Kaka came on the field, he grabbed points in the penalty area and found a good opportunity to help Manchester City take the lead.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 3:2 and won this victory.

Most of Manchester City's main players were rested, and they also scored three points, which is really a happy result.

81 points also allowed Manchester City to continue to lead Manchester United by five points.

Manchester United is now starting to exert strength in the league, so Manchester City's three points are very important.

After the game against Sunderland, Manchester City began to prepare for the second round of the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Both "Aspen" and "Marca" issued an appeal, calling on Real Madrid fans to go to the Bernabéu Stadium and turn the Bernabeu into a sea of ​​white. They want to make Manchester City feel the white terror.

Then the total score fell behind by one goal, but it seemed that Real Madrid was bound to win, and they were very confident about advancing.

Under such circumstances, Manchester City came to Madrid three days in advance. They lived in a hotel and borrowed Atletico Madrid's training ground to prepare for the game.

As a rival in the same city, Atletico Madrid is naturally willing to cause some trouble for Real Madrid. If Real Madrid is eliminated in the end, they will be very happy.

At this time, Atletico Madrid will not have any national concept.

In Madrid, Manchester City has also received media attention.

After training every day, the media would block them and ask for interviews.

However, Benitez gave the players a gag order, except for the official press conference, they are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks in front of reporters.

Benitez attaches great importance to this game and is also very cautious.

He doesn't want to lose the game because of some tiny details.

Real Madrid will be very crazy when they return to the home court. Will Manchester City's defense be able to withstand it?

Benitez is not worried about offense, he is worried about defense.
