February 19!
Etihad Stadium!
Manchester City, already invincible in England, will face a Champions League opponent, Zenit St Petersburg!
Before the game, at the press conference, Italian coach Spalletti praised Gao Bo's achievements in the Premier League this season.
"More than 20 consecutive victories, this is an amazing achievement, especially in a competitive environment like the Premier League. I think Manchester City this season will be remembered in the history of the Premier League. Against such a team at home, saying that there is no pressure is false, but Zenit also hopes to make a breakthrough in the Champions League!" Spalletti said.
The Brazilian national Hulk expressed confidence that it is a rare opportunity to compete with opponents like Manchester City, and his Hulk will let Manchester City see his strength!
This sounded like some self-promotion.
However, the Hulk Hulk is not short of suitors from the five major European leagues. This body is very strong, looks really like the Hulk, and has very terrifying shooting power.
His toes are very hard, and it is a very dangerous option for him to shoot from anywhere outside the penalty area.
Before the game started, the Etihad Stadium was full of voices.
When Gao Bo got the starting list of Zenit St. Petersburg, his eyes were also on a few major players.
There are actually three players.
Midfielder Witsel!
Arshavin, who hit the midfielder, and Hulk on the right!
These three players are the key players of Zenit St. Petersburg and the players that Manchester City needs to take care of when defending.
Of course, this is only something that Manchester City players need to pay attention to at certain moments. In fact, the tactics arranged by Manchester City in this game cannot be defensive.
Manchester City will still dominate the offense at home, and the main job of defense is to defend the opponent's counterattack.
In the home and away elimination system, it is not advantageous to play at home first, and Russia’s away game is not an easy away game. Therefore, in order to ensure that the team advances to the quarterfinals, the first thing to do is to play well at home. Get an ideal score as much as possible and completely extinguish the fire of hope for the opponent to comeback in the second round!
Before the start of the game, Gao Bo asked the team in this way!
Therefore, after the start of the game, Manchester City immediately dominated the offensive! !
The pressure was overwhelming, and he talked about the momentum that Zenit had eaten.
Spalletti is a coach from Italy.
The Italian is naturally defensive, and so does Spalletti.
Although in Russia, Zenit is actually an offensive team.
However, in the Champions League, Spalletti's team broke out from the group stage by relying on a simple and efficient defensive counterattack. In Group G where Zenit is located, there are Atletico Madrid, Porto, and Vienna fast. An opponent, and able to beat the Portuguese super giants Porto to qualify, Zenit, of course, has something in itself.
Therefore, in the face of Manchester City's pressure attack, Spalletti is not surprised, he is even a little bit happy.
What he hopes most is for Manchester City to underestimate the enemy, and then Zenit stolen one away!
It would be the best if he wins away games. Even if he is equalized, Zenit will return to his home court and take advantage of Russia's harsh climate. He may be able to eliminate the champion favorites and enter the Champions League quarter-finals historically!
However, Spalletti just sat in his seat for two minutes before having to get up and stand on the sidelines with a look of anxiety!
The pace of the game is very fast!
In these two minutes, Manchester City has made three shots, and each time has created a very big threat! !
This of course prevents Spalletti from sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai!
The fourth minute of the game! !
Hulk managed to get the ball in the frontcourt, so his national teammate Casemiro was hit by his body, Kolarov grabbed the ball and snatched it away!
Manchester City immediately launched a fast break!
Kolarov passed the ball to Sanchez!
Hazard pulled out of the penalty area and temporarily completed a swap with Griezmann!
Sanchez crossed and found Hazard! !
Azar pulled the ball and turned around and sent a straight game! !
Griezmann plugs in against offside!
Under the interference of the logarithm, Griezmann staggered, the Russian defender is still very good at using his body!
However, the dexterous Griezmann stumbled and stabbed the ball to the other side!
The football fell to the feet of David Silva waiting on the right side of the small penalty area!
David Silva shoots directly!
All in one go! !
One to zero! ! !
Manchester City took the lead in the fourth minute of the game! !
"David Silva scored a goal!!! The fourth minute of the game!!! Manchester City scored a goal!!!"
"Pretty!!! Manchester City made a fantastic start! Although Zenit St. Petersburg is calling for trouble in Russia, but in the Champions League, facing defending champion Manchester City, the difference in strength is too big!"
"Zenit's resistance lasted only four minutes before it was disintegrated!!!"
In addition to the commentators from Russia, other commentators have sang praises for Manchester City's goal.
The cheers in the stands never stopped.
After the goal, David Silva opened his arms and hugged his teammates in the front court.
On the sidelines, Italy coach Spalletti has a grim face.
Just falling behind at the start, this is a big test for Zenit.
He took advantage of the time of Manchester City’s celebration and called several major players over and asked them to stabilize the situation. The most important thing at this time is not to lose the ball!
However, things backfired! !
The fifth minute of the game! ! !
Sanchez sent a perfect cross from the bottom left!
The football is worn to the back point! ! !
Hazard then clicked the bow of his foot to pad the ball towards the center! !
Griezmann, who was keeping up in the middle, greeted the ball with a low shot!
The football was sent to the near corner of the goal!
Two to zero! !
For Manchester City~EbookFREE.me~ it is impossible to have this more dreamy start! !
"Two to zero!!! Griezmann scored a goal!!!"
"In just two minutes, Manchester City scored two goals in a row!! Zenit's defense had a big problem!! At this stadium, Zenit seemed too flustered!!!"
"The goal from Griezmann, Zenit's man-marking in the penalty area is useless, Hazard returned the ball to the center with almost no defense! And Griezmann followed up the shot. , Also completely unmarked, Manchester City’s frontcourt attackers move flexibly, so that the tall Russian defenders can’t keep up!"
