Golden Greenery

Leroy Sane and Salif Sane are both of Senegalese descent, but just as Lu Xun and Zhou Xun are both Chinese, they have nothing to do with each other.

​​

Leroy Sane debuted in the youth training of a pharmaceutical company and was later poached by Schalke. After three years in the first team, he moved to Manchester City before Zhuo Yang in the summer of 2016, when Guardiola personally ordered him.

​​

It's been almost three years in the blink of an eye, and this is the first time that Sane has faced his old club in these two knockout rounds. Three weeks ago, he only came off the bench nearly 80 minutes ago, and he did not leave much impression on the old man when he went to Schalke. Today, Sane starts.

​​

In the past three seasons, although Sane was not the main force of Manchester City, he at least had the status of the main force in rotation, and followed Manchester City to win the championship honor. The wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, just like the night in a brocade, Sane needs to show off in front of Schalke.

​​

In the first 40 minutes of Manchester City's oppressive restricted play, Schalke was at a loss and evacuated his position very deep, but this also left Sane, who was good at rushing and assault, not having much space, but Sterling, who was like a **** stick, was more active.

​​

Zhuo Yang broke the game with a penalty kick, and the total score between the two sides became 4:2, which shattered the last bit of illusion left by the Schalkes, and was also confused. The formation was loose and chaotic, and Sane's opportunity came.

​​

In the shadow of the famous tree, Schalke's defensive end focused on the murderous Zhuo Yang. Sane, who was the leader of the team and ranked second in the efficiency list, was ignored.

​​

In the 45th minute, Da Smart made a big-angle connection on the right side. Sane overtook Bruma with an empty run on the left and then caught the ball and entered the penalty area.

​​

After attacking near the front post in the small penalty area, he was blocked by Steinbauli and Fehrman, but this is the position and method that Sane is good at.

​​

Glancing at Xiang Lu from the corner of his eye, he found that Zhuo Yang had not followed up. Sane was not Sterling but also a clever one. He immediately knew what was going on, and without hesitation, he kicked back with his heel.

​​

Zhuo Yang really shamelessly and secretly followed behind his buttocks. He only had football in his eyes.

​​

With a 'go away', Zhuo Yang made a critical attack on the ball, and the football rumbled over the heads of Sane, Fehrman and Steinbauley, and they could feel the heat of their scalps.

​​

Sane just stuttered: Lord, if you accidentally turn this around, I'm only 23 this year...

​​

The ball went in from the close corner, which was violent and clear, leaving little room for referee Turpin to find fault.

​​

"Leroy, pass the ball well." Zhuo Yang's verbal praise. "The shot just now didn't scare you, did it?"

​​

What do you say? Sane shook his head: "If so, brother, just be happy."

​​

At the end of the first half, Zhuo Yangmei scored twice, the score was 2:0, and the total score was 5:2. So far, this is still a very ordinary Champions League round of 16 knockout, there seems to be nothing magical and memorable.

​​

This is true for Zhuo Yang, and it is also true for Sane.

​​

On the way to the dressing room, Guardiola, who was suddenly poor-mouthed just now, seemed unable to hold back and still smiled. "Speak first, don't slap your face."

​​

Zhuo Yang is a gentleman, how could he beat him?

​​

"Brother, let me play the whole game today. I want to score goals, but two are not enough."

​​

"Brother, brother likes to listen to you."

​​

.

​​

Don't fix it if it's not broken. It's reasonable that Guardiola didn't make adjustments after half-time, but it's unusual that Tedesco didn't make tactical changes either.

​​

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the total score of 2:5 has already made Schalke have no illusions on the road. The team has not played well in the Bundesliga this season, but breaking out of the Champions League group has given Tedesco a certain amount of rampant capital.

It’s not a shame to be eliminated by Manchester City. Tedesco is an ideal young coach. According to the current situation of Schalke’s overall strength, he continues to experiment and improve the organization’s focus and rear-end play, which he has thought about for a long time. The only pursuit left.

​​

If he can finally successfully combine anti-reverse and running and shooting, he will become a master of a generation of coaches. This is Tedesco's ambition.

​​

So, the backcourt is out of touch? As if it didn't exist.

​​

.

​​

In the summer of 2006, Schalke sold Sane for 50 million, and turned around and spent 29 million to buy the then 19-year-old Cameroonian-Swiss striker Breer Embolo, which is the highest in Schalke 04 team history so far. Buyer price.

​​

Anyone who has played "Live" should know that Embolo is a monster striker with full explosive power and speed, and his selling point is also here. So today, Tedesco abandoned the two forwards Mendir and Ute in the previous round and chose Embolo to steal Manchester City's chicken, which is quite reasonable.

​​

But the ability to control the ball is Embolo's weakness. He can only barely pass in this one. The ball control and dribbling also limit him to become the absolute main force of Schalke and the Swiss national team.

​​

Embolo is an exceptional striker on Schalke's front line, and if the conditions are right, he will even become the team's breaking point. But today because of a series of truce in the back line of Manchester City, Lao Gua had no choice but to let Walker come to partner with Laporte, but it happened to form a restraint on Embolo.

​​

You start lightning fast? My lord, Kyle Walker, today's defender has the world's fastest recovery speed, do you like it?

​​

In the 51st minute, Nabil Bentalib, who scored twice from the penalty kick in the previous game, blocked the ball and gave Schalke a rare opportunity to counterattack. Embolo was the lone knight when he received the ball.

​​

But he met Walker who didn't rush forward a few times today—in fact, he wanted to rush forward, but at halftime, the most important thing Lao Gua emphasized was to let him pay attention to Embolo.

​​

Just two steps out, he was entangled by Walker and occupied the position in front of the speeder, forcing Embolo to come down to compete with his poor dribbling and protecting the ball.

​​

It wasn't easy for Walker, but he was the first to keep Embolo from jumping up. The cunning and cunning Derby immediately got close to the circle, and Embolo couldn't take it anymore. .

​​

Schalke's formation was spreading out on the premise, and Debich looked for Zhuo Yang with a direct pass.

​​

At the other end, Zhuo Yang, who ran like a flank in the middle, unexpectedly stepped on the ball to the ground, and almost broke his leg by abducting Sa Sane, who was following him.

​​

Zhuo Yang ran away, the football stayed where he was, and Le Sane, who had crossed positions, just took over. Needless to say, the cooperation between this guy and Zhuo Yang today is simply divine, like flowers and jade belong to yes.

​​

He didn't praise him for dribbling the ball in the middle, but Le Sane slammed the ball to the left, and Zhuo Yang, who didn't slow down after stepping on the ball, just penetrated the ribs and opened fire with his left foot in the penalty area.

​​

All in one go, smooth passing coordination, and a minimalist one-shot to defeat the enemy.

​​

3:0, Zhuo Yang's familiar hat trick.

​​

Especially after 40 minutes, Sane played with great feeling. He contributed two direct assists for Zhuo Yang's three goals. Zhuo Yang is not satisfied, but Sane is very satisfied.

​​

But as a rising attacker, scoring goals is the most satisfying thing. Sane waited on Zhuo Yang comfortably, so he felt that it was time to show off his wealth in front of his old club.

​​

The big meal needs cold dishes, and the feast also needs to have an interlude. Sane doesn't mind adding icing on the cake to Zhuo Yang's competition.

​​

But Zhuo Yang minds.
