Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 454 Kick Ligue [-] out of the five major leagues?
Although Juventus' fierce attack once made Manchester City's goal jittery, it failed to penetrate their goal again.

Manchester City's players persisted until Guardiola sent in substitutes to adjust the team's formation.

Kanter and Van Dijk were the first to be sent on. As for the last substitution, Guardiola did not rush to use it, but held it in his hand, intending to use it to intimidate the opponent.

Without knowing whether the opponent would use the last substitution spot to replace Lin Quan, Juventus also had concerns and did not dare to use up all its cards.

But it seems that there is really no way to win this game without using up all the cards.

After Van Dijk and Kante came on the field, Manchester City's defensive strength was greatly improved, especially the two defensive midfielders Kante and Fernandinho built an airtight barrier in front of the defender, which made Juventus miserable. Word.

Seeing time passing by, the Juventus players became more and more anxious as they played. However, it is easy to make mistakes when anxious, especially when facing a player like Kanter who is extremely good at intercepting and stealing.

In the 82nd minute of the second half, Kante took advantage of a mistake by a Juventus midfielder to successfully steal the ball, and Manchester City launched a quick counterattack.

Son Heung-min, who had been working hard for the whole game, used his last strength to dribble the ball along the wing and sprint toward the Juventus half.

The Juventus players were shocked and retreated, but it was already too late.

Seeing that his teammates were unable to defend in time, Buffon could only abandon the goal and take the initiative.

Son Heung-min showed the calm mind and superb shooting skills of a top shooter. He quickly judged the distance between himself and the goalkeeper and the angle of the shot. He did not rush to shoot, but shot within three meters of Buffon. , when making a blocking action, choose to shoot.

As the world's top goalkeeper, Buffon has extremely rich game experience. The moment he attacks, he has already predicted the possible choices of his opponent.

So he immediately raised his arms and tried to intercept Sun Xingmin's shot.

Buffon's judgment was accurate, but he seemed to underestimate the speed of the opponent's shot.

The ball flew over Buffon's head before he could raise his arm.

With a bang, the football rolled into Juventus' goal, and Manchester City reversed the game 2:1!
After scoring the goal, Son Heung-min looked a little unbelievable. I actually broke the goal guarded by Shi Yi goal?

is this real?
He looked at the goal with wide eyes, and after confirming it again and again, he fell into ecstasy. He turned around, took off his jersey, grabbed the hem of the shirt and waved it in his hands, and ran towards the stands where the Manchester City fans were.

Being able to score in the Champions League is enough to make Son Heung-min happy, let alone breaking the goal guarded by Buffon. That's Buffon!
A living fossil in football, the most powerful goalkeeper in the world!
The Manchester City fans in the stands were also very excited. When they saw Manchester City's starting lineup, they thought the game was going to be lost.

Unexpectedly, these substitutes on the field gave them such a big surprise, especially the newcomers who were just introduced this summer.

His offense from the wing caused huge trouble to Juventus, and both goals were directly related to him.

This guy is really good, reminding many old fans of the Chinese who played for Manchester City for five years.

It is a pity that Chinese football seems to have gone wrong in recent years. In the early years, we could still see some capable Chinese players studying abroad in the five major leagues, but in recent years, we have completely disappeared.

If there are a few more capable players in China, given Manchester City's China plot, they wouldn't mind bringing in one or two to give them a try.

In South Korea, tens of thousands of fans learned that Son Heung-min was starting in this game and chose to watch the live broadcast of the game.

Being able to play for Manchester City, the world's best team, has greatly increased Son Heung-min's reputation in South Korea, and he has become an iconic figure in Korean football.

Therefore, many people in South Korea are looking forward to seeing him perform wonderfully in the Premier League and even the Champions League.

And in this game, Son Heung-min fulfilled their wishes!
Son Heung-min, who created a goal and scored one himself, was an MVP-level performer and directly became the king in South Korea.

When countless people saw Son Heung-min scoring a goal that turned the game around, they were so excited that they wanted to jump up: "Our Heung-min is really amazing!"

"He is definitely the pride of our Republic of Korea!"

Given the influence and fan base of Lin Quan and Manchester City in China, there are also many Chinese fans paying attention to this game.

After seeing Son Heung-min score, some domestic fans couldn't help but sigh:
"Well, more and more players from Japan and South Korea have gone abroad in recent years. Their players can be seen everywhere in the five major leagues. On the other hand, here..."

"There is no way. After all, with our football level, the number of players who meet the standards for studying abroad is already small. In addition, domestic leagues are promoting gold-dollar football, which makes local players not want to go out and make a career."

"Yes, players of the same level as Wu Lei and Zhang Linpeng, with their strength, should have been sent out a few years ago, but they were delayed for several years!"

"Haha, it's understandable that they don't want to go out. After all, their annual salary in China is tens of millions a year. After they go out, it is said that their annual salary is not as good as those in China!"

After the national football team suffered a disastrous defeat to Spain, the Football Association seemed to have been awakened and began to encourage capable and qualified players to study abroad and receive training in high-level European football.

This summer, after looking for a lot of connections and doing a lot of player work, I finally sent out some young players who met the conditions.

Among them are Wu Lei and Zhang Linpeng and other young players who have attracted much attention, especially Wu Lei. After all, he is the only one among domestic strikers.

In addition, he is not too old. He is only 24 years old this year, which is still very young. Therefore, everyone hopes that he can grow after training abroad and support the future of the national team.

When these players were sent out, the clubs they went to were not very good.

Except for a handful of people who have entered the middle and lower reaches of the five major leagues, some of the others have entered the Portuguese Super League, some have gone to the Eredivisie and Belgium, and some have mixed in the Spanish Second and the German Second.

But it's always a good thing to go out. Even in these secondary leagues, their level is not worse than the Super League.

If they train hard here, improve their strength, and strive to be the main force, it will actually be more helpful to improve their own abilities than playing in the domestic league.

Of course, there will certainly be considerable losses in monetary gains.

After all, domestic teams have been very generous in grabbing players in recent years, and the salary of national football players has already reached the threshold of tens of millions of annual salaries.

Not only do they not have such high wages in these leagues, they may even be unable to play in games, which will lead to a decline in their level, and they may not be able to find a job after returning to China.

Therefore, many people are actually unwilling to study abroad. Not only the players are unwilling, but the Chinese Super League clubs are also unwilling.

Therefore, there were relatively few people who chose to go out this summer, far lower than the Football Association's expectations. Among them, there were only six or seven other national players. Most of the rest were young players under the age of 18 who were sent out for training. , as for whether it can be cultivated into talents, it is difficult to say.

... Son Heung-min's goal stunned Juventus. At the last moment, they attacked frantically at all costs, and Allegri finally completed all the substitutions.

It was just that there was too little time left for them. After Juventus stormed for 10 minutes, they had to accept the defeat.

After losing this game, Juventus still only has 5 points, and their situation is precarious.

As for Manchester City, they have already qualified early, and this victory can only be said to be the icing on the cake for them.

After the game, Morata ran over to Lin Quan to exchange jerseys.

Lin Quan looked at him speechlessly: Brother, I didn't even play, are you sure you want to exchange jerseys with me?
Morata didn't care about this. He just saw Lin Quan warming up on the sidelines of the court. Although the opponent put his jacket back on, he was still wearing his jersey underneath the jacket.

Seeing the other party's persistence, Lin Quan could only take off his jacket speechlessly, take off his jersey and throw it to the other party.

Just as they were exchanging jerseys, a burst of cheers suddenly came from Juventus' home court.

Both of them looked at the stands in surprise, what's going on?
Wasn't it Juventus who lost?

Why are their fans still so happy?
Could it be...

"The match between Sevilla and Gladbach is over?"

Lin Quan asked his teammates who had been paying attention to the results of another game.

"Well, Monchengladbach defeated Sevilla 4:2 at home!"

"What? Sevilla lost. Didn't they just beat Real Madrid? How could they lose to Borussia?"

David Silva was surprised by this result. As a Spaniard, he knew Sevilla's strength very well.

As the champion of the Europa League, Sevilla is not weak, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat Real Madrid.

Borussia Monchengladbach is recognized as the weakest team in this group. Everyone agreed that they were the kid who gave away points. Unexpectedly, Sevilla actually overturned on the kid who gave away points.

"Yeah, it's really surprising. Our team's points situation is very confusing now!"

The current situation in Group D is indeed a mess. Except for Manchester City, which is at the top of the list and has won all five games, and is outstanding, the other three teams are all wallowing in the mud.

Juventus has 5 games, one win, two draws and two losses, with 5 points, temporarily ranking second in the group.

Monchengladbach also had one win, two draws and two losses, with 5 points, temporarily ranked third due to goal difference.

Sevilla is the worst, with four losses and one win, and is at the bottom of the group with 3 points.

However, even Sevilla still has the possibility of qualifying in the last round, and the hope is great.

As long as they defeat Juventus at home in the last round, there is a high probability that they will qualify with Manchester City. The reason is very simple. Monchengladbach's opponent in the last round is Manchester City. No one thinks that Monchengladbach can win at Manchester City's home court. Defeating them is almost a sure defeat!
Therefore, regardless of whether Borussia has more points than Sevilla, the qualifying situation may not be as good as Sevilla!
However, Juventus is definitely in the best qualifying situation. Sevilla's defeat is tantamount to handing the initiative into their hands.

In the final round, as long as Manchester City doesn't lose an upset, Juventus can advance as long as they maintain a draw and get one point.

You can qualify if you draw a tie. Are these conditions loose enough?

However, this seems to be a curse. Teams that can qualify with a draw often overturn in the end.

No wonder Juventus fans were so happy after learning the news. For them, this is indeed good news among a bunch of bad news!
……

After the end of this round of the Champions League, the qualifying situation of each group has become very clear.

In Group A, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain both qualified early.

In Group B, Wolfsburg qualified one round ahead of schedule, but the top spot in the group is still in doubt.

In this round of games, Manchester United was held to a draw by PSV at home and lost a good game, making their qualifying situation confusing. In the final round, they will be forced to challenge Wolfsburg, the group leader, away from home.

If they lose this game, Manchester United can only hope that PSV loses. Once their opponents defeat CSKA Moscow at home, they will miss the group qualifying.

In Group C, Atletico Madrid and Benfica qualified hand in hand. In Group E, Messi, who returned from injury, announced his return as the king with a hat trick, leading Barcelona to massacre their opponents with a big score, and also announced that they would qualify early.

Bayern dominates Group F, winning all five games like Manchester City and qualifying early.

Arsenal, which had lost all four games in the first four rounds, finally recovered in this round. They defeated Dinamo Sagnab 3:0 at home and scored three precious points.

Although the Gunners are still last in the group, they still retain the slightest hope of qualifying theoretically even though their two direct competitors have lost.

Compared with Arsenal and Manchester United, Chelsea's performance in the Champions League is much better. After they defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv again in this round, their qualifying situation is very good.

However, the situation in Group G is also very complicated. After defeating Porto, Dynamo Kiev also chased up the points. In the last round, these three teams have the possibility of being eliminated. It depends on who can seize the opportunity. .

The situation in Group H is somewhat surprising. Two teams from the five major leagues, Lyon and Valencia, were treated like crap.

However, two teams from other leagues ranked among the top two. Among them, Zenit St. Petersburg of the Russian Premier League even won all five games. They are the only three teams in the Champions League to maintain a complete victory so far.

The most unbelievable thing here is Lyon. This French giant, which was Real Madrid's bitter enemy in the past few years and made Real Madrid [-] years old, has a really eye-catching record in the Champions League this season.

In this Champions League group stage, they lost 4 out of [-] games and only got one measly point.

What kind of Real Madrid sufferer is this? This is clearly a fish belly!

After all, he was the second seed in Ligue [-], but he ended up playing like this?
No wonder many fans feel that Ligue [-] should be kicked out of the five major leagues. Except for Paris Saint-Germain, the other teams in Ligue [-] are simply inappropriate!
Is this the performance of the second seed in your league?
The third seed even fell in the play-offs and couldn't even make it to the main draw?
The Portuguese Super League has more points than you, so let’s just call the Portuguese Super League the top five leagues!
