Chapter 307 Champions League semi-final

In the 33 Premier League rounds, Wang Yi, who has not scored in two rounds, started this game.

The opponent is fellow Southampton, but Southampton's performance this season is very bad, currently ranked 18th in the league, basically in the relegation zone.

And Manchester City will be able to lift the championship trophy in advance in the next round of the game at home.

As soon as this game came up, Manchester City was on full fire, or Wang Yi was on full fire.

There are 5 games until the end of the league and 60 goals away from 6 goals.

Wang Yi started to get serious.

It happened that the opponent was not strong this time, so in the first half, Wang Yi scored 3 goals with overhead kicks, completing a hat-trick.

Already 57 goals, only 3 goals away from the record.

Everyone took it for granted that Wang Yi would definitely continue to score in the second half and continue to score goals.

But in the second half, the fellow suddenly began to retreat and defend with all his strength.

Wang's state in the second half was indeed mediocre, so he failed to score in the end.

After the game, Wang Yi was actually in a normal mood, and he didn't stay on the court, but walked straight off the court.

Three days after this game is the semi-final of the Champions League.

The four teams in the semi-finals are Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

Unfortunately, two of the semi-finals are the founding teams of the European Super League, and Real Madrid is still in the European Super League.

In fact, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are still in the UEFA Champions League.

These three teams are the top four clubs with the most fans on social platforms. Of course, the second place is Manchester City with Wang Yi.

The reason why these three companies still insist on staying in the European Super League is also very simple.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are really poor. The epidemic has had a great impact on this kind of membership team. Without spectators, the income will be much less, and La Liga still has a salary cap. Barcelona even has a salary cap. It is necessary to sell at least 1 million people in exchange for transfer fees and clear part of the salary in order to successfully register for the next season.

Real Madrid are better, but not much better.

During the transfer window last season, they were all selling people, and they didn't buy people. They just had no money.

And now the richest clubs on the market are Paris, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Paris and Manchester City, who have an oil background, are really rich, while Chelsea have no signings because of the previous transfer ban, and they have made a lot of money selling Burger King to Real Madrid. Now they have a lot of liquidity in their hands.

In this way, the upstarts who started from two local tyrants but won the Champions League played against the two traditional giants.

And the matchup situation happened to be Manchester City against Real Madrid, and Chelsea against Bayern.

So everyone is looking forward to whether the final will be a European derby or a Premier League civil war.

The first leg of today's Champions League semi-final match is at the Di Stefano Stadium in Madrid, Spain. Because the Bernabéu Stadium is still being expanded and renovated, the home court of Team B is temporarily used.

After a lapse of a season in this game, Manchester City met Real Madrid again. The last time Manchester City predicted Real Madrid was the 18-19 season. In the semi-finals of that season, Wang Yi scored 2 goals in 5 rounds, and Real Madrid It was a crushing defeat and was beaten quite badly.

So after this meeting, there are still many ignorant Spanish media clamoring for revenge against Manchester City.

But now Real Madrid is like this.

Burger King Hazard, who was bought with a lot of money, had a pitiful few appearances in the two seasons, not to mention the number of goals, which made Real Madrid fans feel uncomfortable.

The other lines are basically incomparable with Manchester City.

The starting lineup for this game is already out.

"Real Madrid played a three central defender today. The three central defenders are Nacho, Varane and Militao from left to right. The left wing back is Marcelo, the right wing back is Carvajal, and there are three midfielders. It is the ceremony midfielder Modric, Kroos and Casemiro, and the front two strikers are Vinicius and Benzema. Real Madrid can be said to be full of injuries recently, and there are not many horses who have played this season. Cerro is back in the starting lineup because of the injury of left-back Mendy and Hazard is still injured."

"Manchester City's starting lineup is, from left to right in defense, Alaba, Stones, Ruben Dias and Cancelo, with Foden, Rodri and Bernardo Silva in midfield, the former The field is Wang Yi, Kane and Sterling. De Bruyne was also injured before, and he was not included in the squad before this game."

The game started.

Real Madrid's formation of three central defenders is not often played, and the ability to seize opportunities in the midfield is too average.

So at 30 minutes, although Real Madrid attacked fiercely, Manchester City did not feel uncomfortable, but played back and forth.

In this way, the time came to 40 minutes in the first half. This time, Manchester City dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and Sterling was pushed by Marcelo and fell to the ground.

The referee called the foul without hesitation and gave Marcelo a yellow card, and Manchester City also got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Sterling kicked the ball to Wang Yi, and Wang Yilai took the penalty.

In Manchester City now, as long as the distance from the front court is acceptable, Wang Yilai takes the first free kick. Before that, De Bruyne took more free kicks on the right, but Wang Yi has also practiced hard for free kicks for more than a season. So the free kick scoring rate went up, and De Bruyne gave up the free kick position.

In fact, this change can better explain the current status of Wang Yi in Manchester City.

Wang Yi stood in front of the ball.

"Shh-"

in.

1 to 0, the 15th Champions League goal of the season.

The current single-season scoring record in the Champions League is also Wang Yi's 18 goals.

Now Wang Yi is only 3 goals away from this goal.

The narrator kept lamenting Wang Yi's horror.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, fell into a low ebb.

Just 2 minutes after this goal, in 43 minutes, Manchester City quickly counterattacked. Sterling made a beautiful through pass in the frontcourt. Kane got the ball and was blocked by Militao. Kane made a decisive cross strike. Wang Yi, who came in from the left, faced Varane's defense, directly dunked and shot again.

"Yes! Just 2 minutes later, Wang Yi scored twice! 16 goals!"

2 to 0 lead.

Conceding two goals in a row within 2 minutes, Real Madrid's mentality collapsed directly.

And Zidane himself was a bit conservative in this game, using a three-central defender, but it was not a 343-like offensive formation, but a 352-like formation that formed protection in the midfield and flanks.

During the intermission, Zidane directly changed his mind and started a steady counterattack.

Once this style of play is changed, it can still threaten Manchester City.

And City were less aggressive in the second half.

The rhythm also slowed down. After all, it is not easy for Real Madrid to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.

In the end, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final came to an end. Manchester City won the first leg with Wang Yi scoring twice within 2 minutes.

It looks like things are going well for Manchester City.
