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

Chapter 872 The game is over, take the lead

De Jong's pass found the weakest point in City's defense as right-back Walker was now still up front.

Neres rushed to the horse and took the football under control.

Kompany hurried to defend, and Laporte focused on Tadic in the middle.

In other words, Kompany and Neres are now one-on-one!

Neres' center of gravity began to falter, and he buckled with his left foot, followed by a buckle with his right foot!
After all, Kompany is getting older, and his reaction is not as fast as his peak. Neres rushed past him!
Manchester City's defense is in a hurry!
Laporte had to give up his defense against Tadic and go to defend Neres!

Delph responded quickly and quickly moved to the middle to defend Tadic!
Neres didn't give Laporte a chance to defend, and suddenly made a cross from the left outside the penalty area!
Football is like a sharp arrow, piercing the penalty area and flying towards Ziyech who is at the back!

The Etihad Stadium is extremely tense, is Ajax going to score?

Ziyech stepped forward and raised his right foot to shoot!
The football changes direction and blasts towards the goal!

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson jumped to his feet, knowing that he was now all hope for Manchester City.

In the blink of an eye, Edson stretched out his left hand to block the football!
Ziyech immediately stepped forward to make up shots!
Delph didn't give him a chance to make up the shot. He kicked his center of gravity and shoveled the football out of the bottom line!
"Do not!……"

The Ajax fans held their heads in pain, God, didn't they score so close? !
"nice shot!"

The Manchester City fans patted their chests palely, so dangerous!
"Edson!"

The Manchester City Sports commentator shouted: "Ederson made a crucial block! This is a great one, and he kept the goal!

He has withstood the test! "

The Dutch national sports channel commentator said regretfully: "Neres' pass is very beautiful, he found the weakest point of Manchester City's defense, Ziyech completed the shot very calmly!
But Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson was brilliant..."

The Sky Sports commentator said loudly: "After Ajax strengthened the frontcourt press, they won the opportunity to counterattack!
It was a brilliant counter-attack, Ajax found a hole in Manchester City's defense with both passes!

However, Ederson's performance was so wonderful that he blocked Ziyech's must-go goal!
This is a wonderful offensive and defensive battle! "

Guardiola once again gestured to the players to slow down, after all, the end of the game is now only a few minutes away.

It is not so important to score again, it is important not to concede a goal in the last few minutes and allow Ajax to score an away goal.

Ajax's corner kick, Manchester City's penalty area was in chaos, and the referee had to warn the players of both sides.

De Jong sent a tactical corner kick and sent the football to Tagliafico, who was only two meters away from him!
Under the command of Kompany, the Manchester City players quickly pressed up!
This is to cause offside.

After Taliafico took the ball, he knocked back to De Jong!
As soon as De Jong got the ball, the assistant referee immediately signaled offside.

"Tick!..."

The referee blew his whistle to indicate that De Jong was offside!
Nima!

Ten Hag yelled at Taliafico angrily, what the hell are you doing?
Tariafico is very innocent because he didn't notice the Manchester City back line pressing because his back was turned to the goal.

The Sky Sports commentator once again praised Kompany: "From this ball, we can see the importance of experience!
Kompany is the type of player that Manchester City's defense lacks the most, but unfortunately he is too old, he is 38 years old! "

The Manchester City fans gave Kompany a thunderous applause.

The game restarted, and Ajax did not retreat in the frontcourt and began to press high.

Manchester City demonstrated their housekeeping skills and pass-and-control tactics to the fullest. The football was quickly passed between different Manchester City players, and the Ajax players could not touch the football at all!
The fourth official came to the sidelines and held up the electronic display: 5 minutes of added time!
The Ajax players seemed to know that they were powerless, and the midfielders gave up the press and returned to their own half.

You can't lose the ball anymore, otherwise there will be no hope for the second round.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, De Bruyne tried an overhead pass to deliver shells to Li Chuanqi, but unfortunately his pass was too powerful and flew directly out of the sideline.

Li Chuanqi launched a fierce press on the spot, not giving Ajax a chance to launch a quick counterattack.

The tempo on the field accelerated again, Tagliafico transferred the football to central defender Blind, and Aguero flew to press!

Blind passes the football to De Jong in a hurry!

David Silva, like a divine soldier, steals the football in front of De Jong, and then passes it diagonally!
After Sterling followed up from the left, he buckled his left foot, dodged the shooting space, and took a long shot!
The football goes wide of the goal!

Manchester City missed the opportunity to expand the score!

In the next 2 minutes, Manchester City defended with all their strength and did not give Ajax any chance to score.

"Tick! Tick! Tick!..."

After 5 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
Manchester City Sports said loudly: "The game is over! Three to zero! Manchester City beat Ajax at home, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the final!"

Congratulations to Manchester City, they overcame their nervousness and played a wonderful game!

Thanks to the players on both sides for giving us a pleasing game!
Congratulations to Lee for scoring twice, and congratulations to Sterling for completing his first goal in the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Congratulations to Guardiola, I hope he can make persistent efforts and lead Manchester City to the final! "

The Dutch national sports channel commentator said: "The first leg match between Ajax and Manchester City is over, unfortunately they lost with a score of zero to three.

But they are not without a chance to reach the finals!
In the history of the Champions League, there are many good scenes of reversal and victory!
Last season, Roma and Barcelona met in the quarter-finals. Barcelona won [-]-[-] at home in the first round. Many people think that Roma only has a theoretical possibility of advancing.

However, in the second round, Roma, who returned home, defeated Barcelona [-]-[-], and finally dominated on away goals to advance to the semi-finals!

In the 16-17 season, in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona [-]-[-] at home in the first round, and Barcelona won [-]-[-] at home in the second round, achieving a super comeback!
Therefore, the score of zero to three does not mean that Ajax has no chance, they are not dead yet!
They are still alive!

The Champions League is a arena that is good at creating miracles. Ajax is not dead yet, they still have a chance! "

The Ajax fans in front of the TV agreed with the commentator's words, yes, Ajax is not dead yet, they can advance to the final by playing against Manchester City at home with [-]-[-]!

The Sky Sports commentator said: "Congratulations to Manchester City! Although this is their first time participating in the Champions League semi-finals, except for some nervousness at the beginning, they have been very calm at other times!

Once again Lee proved his worth and scored two goals!
It is worth mentioning that Sterling scored a goal tonight, which is a good thing for Manchester City. It shows that in key games, other players besides Li can also stand up and score goals! "
