The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 836 Four to two, the first round of the Champions League knockout round was difficult to win
After playing the FA Cup, Manchester City will face two important games, one is the first leg of the Champions League round of sixteen with Schalke 04, and the other is the League Cup final with Chelsea.

Both games cannot be lost.

On February [-]th, Manchester City came to Germany one day earlier.

The arrival of Manchester City has attracted the attention of many media reporters. Guardiola said in an interview at the airport: "We have only one mission here, and that is to take away the victory!"

Guardiola is full of confidence in the game: "I have never worried about our offense, and we have not conceded a goal in the last two games, which shows that our defense has made great progress!
That's why we are confident of winning. "

Li Chuanqi said in an interview: "This is just an ordinary Champions League knockout match. What we have to do is to play to our own level and win the final victory!"

If they win the away game in the first leg, it will be easier for Manchester City to advance to the quarterfinals. After all, the second game is a home game.

Manchester City's purpose is very clear, which is to make the suspense of promotion disappear early and focus more on other games.

The statement of the two made the German media very uncomfortable, damn it, you didn't take Schalke 04 seriously at all!

"Follow Lee! Beat Manchester City!"

"Let the arrogant British understand the strength of the Germans!"

"Manchester City is a paper tiger, they are not as strong as imagined!"

……

At 21 pm on the [-]st, the first round of the match between the two sides officially started.

Guardiola sent all the main players to play.

What makes Schalke 04 fans feel depressed is that Guardiola did not do anything, and Manchester City players did not make large-scale position changes.

"Guardiola, you have changed..."

"Do something, why don't you do something?"

Manchester City had 4 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in the previous 04 away games against German teams in European wars. Among them, the two away games against Schalke [-] won half and half, and the two European knockout games against German teams were eliminated.
