Football Legend No. 13

In the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City face Chelsea.

To Zheng Lin's surprise, Chelsea conceded three goals in a row to give home Manchester City a 3-0 victory.

Judging from their post-match situation, Zheng Lin noticed that there seemed to be a problem in the Blues' dressing room.

This made him a little curious, the last time he was a Premier League champion, what is the problem, isn't it good to play well?

What's so much for that?

But fortunately he is not a Chelsea player, and he does not want to care about it.

In the third round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Everton 2-0 away.

It all looks like it's moving in a good direction.

But the subsequent Champions League group draw made Manchester City realise things weren't that simple.

[Group A: Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmö

] [Group B: Manchester United, Wolfsburg, PSV PSV PSV PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow

] [Group C: Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Galatasaray, Astana

] [Group D: Juventus, Manchester City, Sevilla, Borussia Mönchengladbach

] [Group E: Barcelona, Roma, Bayer Leverkusen, Borisov]

[Group F: Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Dinamo Zagreb

] [Group G: Chelsea, Dynamo Kyiv, Porto, Maccabi Tel Aviv

] [Group H: Valencia, Lyon, Zenit, Ghent]

Serie A overlord Juventus, while also having Sevilla, the king of the Europa League, feels head-on.

This wave makes Zheng Lin not very sure that he can "lead the team" to break through the top 16 in the Champions League!

Serie A overlord Juventus is no joke, last year's runner-up, their strength is naturally there, that is, the lineup is slightly older.

Now that the group is out, all that's left is to play well.

Manchester City won 2-0 at home to Watford in the fourth round of the Premier League, and it is already the opening four consecutive wins, and the remaining fifth round of the league will face Crystal Palace.

This is the one who dragged Manchester City down in the final moments of last season.

This trip is bound to avenge last season's blow.

It was also De Bruyne's first battle.

Pellegrini put him in the squad but did not start.

David Silva will miss Juventus' Champions League group stage in preparation for the Champions League group stage.

In the current situation, he chose a formation of 442 that is not very reliable.

This point also makes Zheng Lin feel a headache, 4 midfielders are lined up with long snakes, he really does not like this formation.

[Forward; Aguero, Boni

midfielders: Zheng Lin, Fernandinho, Moussa Sissoko, Navas

defenders: Kolarov, Mangala, Kompanyi, Sarnia

goalkeeper: Joe Hart

substitutes: De Bruyne, Iheanacho, Demichaelis, etc.]

For such an arrangement, Zheng Lin always felt that there was no back in front of the central defender, and he was very uneasy.

But as a professional, all he has to do is meet the coach's tactical arrangements.

After the start of the game, Crystal Palace did not hesitate, they still pressed up to attack.

This time, seeing Zheng Lin guarding Manchester City's left defense, Crystal Palace cleverly chose the other side, and they put their own grab point Zaha directly on the left, so as to avoid Zheng Lin.

In the ensuing matches, Zaha excelled in the ensuing performances.

Throughout the game, he made 6 passes, managed 5 and contributed 6 steals, all of which he made.

Such a performance on the wing of Keylor looks a little inferior.

But the final winner of this match was Manchester City.

When he saw that 442 could not play an effect, Pellegrini decisively replaced De Bruyne, and the entire lineup was directly replaced by 4231.

The midfield duo pulled back, with Zheng Lin and Keylor Navas preceding, and De Bruyne behind Boni.

When De Bruyne came on, Manchester City gradually controlled the situation, and in cooperation with Zheng Lin, the entire right side of Crystal Palace was suppressed in their own half.

This situation made Alain Pardew rub his temples.

Because the one on the right side was suppressed, Zaha did not dare to step forward too much.

Finally, in the 89th minute, Zheng Lin crossed to De Bruyne, who then passed to substitute Iheanacho to complete the goal.

It is also a good start for the start of the Champions League group stage.

Manchester City's five-game winning streak in the Premier League also allows them to face the mighty Juventus with confidence.

Juventus, the Serie A hegemon, announced their starting squad the day before the match, which is typical to tell you, this is how I arranged, waiting for you to make a move!

[Forwards: Morata, Mandzukizi, Cuadrado

midfielders: Pogba, Hernanes, Sturaro

defensives: Evra, Chiellini, Bonucci, Lichsteiner

goalkeeper: Buffon

substitutes: Dybala, Balzagli, Alex Sandro, etc.]

The overall army is strong, with an excellent backline, they have a lot of experience in major competitions, and the overall situation is above the tail of the peak.

I don't know if they are habitually slow heat, the current league record is 1 draw and 2 defeats.

But such a league record does not take them lightly, as a team that has always dominated the top of Serie A, will there be two brushes?

In response, Pellegrini also revealed his own roster.

[Forward: Boni

midfielder: Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Zheng Lin

back: Fernandinho, Moussa Sissoko

Defense: Kolarov, Mangala, Kompanyi, Sania

goalkeeper: Joe Hart

substitutes: De Bruyne, Otamendi, Aguero, etc.]

As a manager, you must not be able to instigate in this matter, what is so scary about this, This is still the group stage, then the subsequent games will not be able to play!

Never bothered to face Barca, let alone Juventus, who had lost to them.

Build enough defense mentally, then there will be no tension on the field.

For some nervousness within the team, Zheng Lin took the initiative to take over the topic, "Juventus are very strong, but they are also people, there are weaknesses in people, we bring out our best side, even if we lose, it is worthy of our own efforts, and it is worthy of watching our fans!"

"Hey, you crow mouth, you haven't started the game before you come to such a sentence, if you really lose, then I want you to treat!" Aguero replied directly.

As a player, or a player in the new century, superstition does not exist, but because this word really works, it seems a bit outrageous!

"Okay, I'm sure we won't lose to them, come on!!"

"Come on!!"
