Football Legend No. 13

The competition officially begins.

Away Everton pushed fast after kick-off and they plotted to catch Manchester City by surprise.

When they tried to pass it to Barkley through a direct plug, they were blocked.

After Zheng Lin intercepted this direct kick, he quickly gave the ball to De Bruyne on the side.

There wasn't a hint of nostalgia for the ball, and as he watched De Bruyne cut in, he pulled back to stay on the same line with Fernandinho.

As a midfielder, you need to take care of the protection of the backline.

At this point, Zheng Lin has a good consciousness, and the existence of this consciousness is an important reason why he can be qualified for the back position.

Kevin De Bruyne's breakaway ball brought David Silva behind Jiagielka

“GOALLLL！！！！"

'David Silva scored first, home side Manchester City 1-0 up, while the aggregate score has reached 2-2, Manchester City, with an away goal advantage, are already invincible!

"In the opening sixth minute, after Zheng Lin intercepted, De Bruyne launched a counterattack, Manchester City scored first, they already had the lead, as long as they took the main defensive counterattack, they were already invincible!"

With Manchester City's goal, the Etihad began, and after an entire season last year, they failed to win a single title, not even the league title at crucial moments.

As long as the players hold on, then they can advance to the final and step on the head of the fallen giants Liverpool to win the Premier League Cup.

.....

The game resumes.

Everton also calmed down, they began to push smoothly, at this time they are already at a disadvantage, they must ensure a goal to reach the final, and the final is their city rival - Liverpool!

It was their desire for the final, but also their disgust for that group of traitors.

Barry dribbled forward while also observing the position of his team-mates, who was more concerned about the position of the Manchester City player and the black-haired boy, who reacted too quickly.

It also forced him to look for a few more options for his passing.

Finally he passed the ball to Barkley.

As the team's tandem, Barkley knows what he needs very well, with Romelu Lukaku as a fulcrum in the forward position, in fact, Everton have many attacking options, but the ground ball has been partially limited by Zheng Lin and Fernandinho.

For the already missing ground pass, Romelu Lukaku's header was a key part of Everton.

The 34th minute of the game.

Deulofeu receives a pass and he advances straight down the right.

As Deulofeu advanced, Zabaleta directly blocked it, and if he was allowed to continue to advance, then he could directly cross, which could not be allowed to be done.

Facing the swooping Zabaleta, Deulofeu knocked sideways, followed by Barkley, and directly kicked the world wave.

"I'll go! This directly shoots from a distance?

"The score was equalized, I don't know what to say about Joe Hart, to say that people are too unlucky?"

"Can say this, Joe Hart doesn't know how many world wave shots have become the backdrop, in terms of ability alone, he is one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League, but by such a fairy long-range shot, there is no way, who comes is almost the same."

......

The first half of the game ended up to 1-1, and the first half was finally bombarded by the familiar world wave, thus conceding a goal, this situation Pellegrini was also a little helpless, but fortunately there was a second half!

The second half begins.

Manchester City kicked off and the game quickly began to pick up speed.

"Is this a direct speed-up to hit Everton by surprise? This looks very effective! "

Yes, under the instigation of two great midfielders in midfield, Everton's midfielders are constantly pulled.

No matter how fast people run on the pitch, there is a certain gap between them and fast passes, and at this time, Manchester City seems to be relying on passing to tear up the defense for their own attacks.

Such an opportunity came in the 54th minute, and Zheng Lin kicked straight forward.

David Silva received the ball and a croquette passed the defender on his side, an inverted triangle pass and a push from the following De Bruyne.

“GOALLLL！！！！"

"Kevin De Bruyne scored a goal for Manchester City, the score has come to 2-1, the aggregate score is 3-3, there are 35 minutes left in the game, there is still time for Manchester City, according to the nine minutes of suppression before the opening game, Manchester City's performance is good enough, as long as this performance continues, this game will be won without suspense."

"With the previous performance, they can fight for the final four."

For Manchester City's commentary, this Champions League, they are full of expectations, the opponent in the round of 16 is too weak, their performance is enough to win easily, and what they care most about is the opponent in the quarter-final, whether it is Chelsea or Paris.

The game resumed, and the home song, the blue moon, was singing.

This is undoubtedly cheering for the home players.

With the support of the fans, the Manchester City players were more "ferocious", and Zheng Lin once again intercepted Barry's forward pass, which was his fifth time of the game.

As a dragged midfielder, he and Fernandinho built a barrier for the centre-back's body.

Despite conceding a goal, Manchester City's defensive performance has been quite consistent overall.

Once again, the football was passed to the feet of De Bruyne, and the brain of the midfield in this match was De Bruyne.

With Zheng Lin's pass, the "trident" in front quickly pushed forward, which is undoubtedly for Everton's backline, they urgently need to pay attention to their position.

Raheem Sterling, in particular, has enough movement for Everton's backline.

In this game, Sterling had several shooting opportunities, although he did not seize it in the end, but Everton did not dare to put it, which was too bad!

Who can pat his chest and say he'll not score 100 percent on the next shot?

There was no one, so apparently he was counting on Stones, a guy from centre-back, to keep an eye on him.

But the fact is that De Bruyne's long-legged pass on the right is Everton's point behind the box.

The ball is fast, and the Sterling in place is a little surprising, this guy's running position is really enviable!

"The ball went in!"

"Raheem Sterling, received a long pass from De Bruyne and scored with a header!"

"This combination of midfield is a bit enviable! De Bruyne's increasingly excellent passing, Zheng Lin's solid midfield defense and his quick way of playing the ball are the envy of the same team in the city for a long time.

"A 3-1 score should be enough for Manchester City to advance to the final!"

......

At the end of the "drop"

match, Manchester City finally won 3-1 at home to Everton and advanced to the final of the Premier League Cup, which is the most important step for them to win the first title of the season - to reach the final!

The best player of the game was given to Zheng Lin - 8.5 points.

At the same time, he has also gained a lot of things, although he has not yet been able to complete the upgrade, but he is already accumulating important attribute points!
