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

Chapter 869 Fierce Battle

Li Chuanqi's dive to the top ignited the passion of Manchester City fans, and the fan forum exploded instantly:

"Dive to the top!"

"The first goal in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the history of Manchester City was born! Lee left a strong mark in the history of Manchester City!"

"Diving to the top? Can you imagine Lee scoring a goal this way?"

"Lee will always put your mind at ease, he never disappoints!"

"I love you, Li, you are the god in my heart!"

……

The applause at the Etihad Stadium lasted for a long time, and Manchester City fans sang and danced.

After Li Chuanqi scored a goal, he ran to the command area to hug Guardiola and his teammates...

Tenhaer was furious, and yelled at the back line, damn it, so many of you didn't stop him?

Blind feels very innocent, he has tried his best, do you want me to keep holding on to his jersey?

Then... waiting for me is the red dot set meal.

It will only make the team worse.

The left-back Taliafico also felt innocent. Not only was I chasing him, but I also reminded my teammates, I did everything I could, what else could I do?
After the game restarted, Ajax launched a tidal attack on Manchester City.

The Dutch are good at playing total defense, they almost come out in full force!

Manchester City's defense is under a lot of pressure.

Kompany used his experience to remind his teammates constantly.

In the No.401 minute of the first half, Ajax's offense finally formed an offensive, and Feltman made a cross from the right rear!

Chaos in Manchester City's restricted area!
Manchester City fans are worried, after all, their high-altitude defense ability is average.

At the critical moment, the old captain Kompany stepped forward, stood up, overwhelmed Van de Beek, and pushed the football out of the penalty area!

Ziyech shot from outside the penalty area!
Soccer over the bar!

Ziyech spat angrily on the turf, damn it!

Manchester City Sports commentator highly praised Kompany: "With Kompany in the backcourt, Manchester City's high-altitude defense has improved to a new level!
This is the second time he has completed a key defense! "

The game restarted, and Manchester City firmly controlled the football at their feet. After all, there was not much time left in the first half. Even if they couldn't score a goal, they couldn't give the opponent a chance to attack.

Ajax retreated across the board, and Manchester City still poured the ball in the backcourt.

"Hush!..."

The Ajax fans who came from afar booed, damn it, we are behind now, why don't we press?

However, the Ajax players remained unmoved and continued to hoard heavy troops in their backcourt.

Manchester City finally pushed the football forward, and Ajax immediately pressed frantically.

This is Ten Hag's tactic.

The Manchester City players were turned on their backs, screaming frequently and fell on the turf.

It can be seen how big Ajax's defensive actions are!

The fourth official came to the sidelines and held up the electronic display: 2 minutes of added time!
The Manchester City players simply returned the football to the back line.

After taking the ball, Kompany did not pass the football to his teammates, but took the football forward.

"Snapped!"

After breaking through Van de Beek's fierce press, Kompany kicked a long pass over the top!
This time the target of his pass was not Li Chuanqi but Sterling!
After running wildly, Sterling stretched out his right foot and unloaded the football with the outside instep near the touchline!

The beautiful kick caused bursts of applause.

Sterling pulled his right foot, avoided Feltman's ferocious shovel, and made a cross!
Football is flying towards Aguero!
Ajax central defender De Ligt beat Aguero and pushed the football out of the penalty area!

David Silva took the football down from outside the box.

Aguero signaled Sterling not to pass the high-altitude ball to himself, damn it, don't you know how tall I am?
The game continued, and Ajax immediately launched a fierce pressing on David Silva.

Manchester City did not rush to attack, but made a quick pass outside the penalty area!
After five or six consecutive passes, De Bruyne suddenly made a diagonal pass!
The football broke through Ajax's dense defense and flew towards the right side of the penalty area!

Li Chuanqi rushed towards the football like a sharp arrow!

However, De Bruyne's pass was too powerful, and the football was confiscated by Onana who attacked!
Manchester City's attack came to an abrupt end.

Li Chuanqi did not blame De Bruyne, but gave him a thumbs up.

De Bruyne, who was blaming himself, breathed a sigh of relief.

After Onana took the ball, he gave a big kick and launched a counterattack!
Kompany stood up again, jumped up, overwhelmed Tadic and pushed the football back to the frontcourt!
The chaotic scene reappeared, the ball was exchanged several times, and it was finally controlled by Manchester City.

"Tick! Tick!..."

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half!

The Manchester City Sports Channel commentator shouted: "The end of the first half! With Lee's goal, Manchester City leads [-]-[-]!

Throughout the first half of the game, Manchester City took control of the situation, frequently put pressure on Ajax's defense, and played their own level! "

The Dutch national sports channel commentator shook his head and said: "Ten Hag's team tactics are still a bit conservative, especially when the score is behind, they are still very conservative in defense.

If Ajax wants to change the passive situation in the second half, they should expand their defensive range and press in the frontcourt!

Overall, Ajax's defense is still doing well, only made one mistake, but this time the mistake was caught by Lee..."

Sky Sports commentator said: "Some people will say that Ajax's tactics are too conservative, but there is no way to meet a team like Manchester City.

In the first round of the quarter-finals, Tottenham wanted to play against Manchester City at home, but they lost [-]-[-]!

This game tells the whole world that if you want to play against Manchester City, it is a dead end!
So Ajax's tactics are correct, but... how should I put it, Li is too good!

Brindra couldn't hold him back, and let him score a wonderful dive to the top! "

……

In the visiting team's locker room, Ten Hag was comforting his players: "We have done a good job! We didn't give them too many chances to score goals, and we also created several good scoring opportunities!
We must firmly believe that we will achieve good results! "

The player breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the first half of the game, although Ajax was passive, it was not without the power to fight back.

If the striker's ability to seize opportunities is stronger, maybe we will be ahead.

Thinking of this, their confidence regained.

……

In the locker room of the home team, Guardiola was very satisfied with his performance in the first half: "We performed very well in the first half! Overcame nervousness and defeated ourselves!
We always have to believe in ourselves, we are the best team in the world! "

Guardiola focused on Kompany's praise: "The captain has set an example for us. He used his body to defend the glory of our defense!"

Immediately afterwards, he deployed the second half and emphasized: "Patience! We must be patient! There will definitely be holes in their defense!"
