Chapter 434 The contrast between the Champions League and the Premier League

Xu Qi's fake shot was really sent out a wonderful straight pass, and the sky blue figure that turned offside was Balotelli, who had just come on as a substitute!

Balotelli accelerated and caught up with the ball, but he did not completely get rid of Boateng!

Boateng took two steps to catch up with Balotelli and stretched out his long legs from behind Balotelli.

He directly blocked the ball, and then Balotelli was overturned to the ground. At the same time, Aguero, who also rushed into the penalty area, immediately started and stabbed the ball near the penalty spot with one kick.

At this moment, Xu Qi was the one who followed up and appeared in the most dangerous position.

This time, he no longer faked the real shot, but directly pushed the shot!

Without hesitation, he hit a sticker on the earth.

No matter how awesome Neuer was, he could not stop the shot at this position. The ball flew into the net against the inside of the post. In the 83rd minute, Manchester City won a goal, and the suspense of the game came back.

The goal was Xu Qi!

Xu Qi scored the second goal in Manchester City's Champions League history. Kolarov scored the first goal in Manchester City's Champions League in the last round, which was indeed a bit surprising.

Heinx also seemed a little panicked when he scored this goal.

The two-goal lead was originally very safe, but now, Bayern's three-pointer feels less stable.

Although Bayern won the first round, if they can't win Manchester City at home in the second round, they are actually under a lot of pressure. In the death group, any point is very critical. If they can score three-pointers in the end, it will be very unfavorable for their subsequent qualifying situation.

At this time, Napoli leads Villarreal 2-0 on another field. Judging from this situation, Villarreal may become a cannon fodder in the group. Bayern Munich, Napoli and Manchester City will be competing for the qualifying position in the group.

There is still a lot of time for the game, and Manchester City has found greater confidence with Xu Qi's goal. Next, Manchester City will launch a strong counterattack to strive to take away a point at Allianz Stadium.

Xu Qi did not celebrate too much, but instead retreated to the midfield with the ball in his arms, while Neuer could only stand up on the spot, pinching his waist and looking into the distance with a depressed look on his face.

He was scored by Xu Qi again. Whenever he met Xu Qi, his goal would never be able to hold on. Once upon a time he was the goalkeeper who made all forwards desperate, but when he saw Xu Qi, he became a desperate goalkeeper.

The difference is really touching.

There are always various mutual generations and restraints on the football field. At this time, Xu Qi is like Neuer's nemesis, specifically defeating him!

However, despite Neuer conceding a goal, he is still using his outstanding ability to ensure that the goal will not fall again.

The time left for Manchester City is getting less and less. Although they have created several opportunities, they can only accept the situation of losing one-to-two away game.

At the end of the game, Manchester City's two-round victory in the Champions League group stage became a foregone conclusion. As a team without any experience in the Champions League, it should not be surprising that such a result should be achieved, but Manchester City is the number one rich team in today's football world. They only scored one point in two rounds of the Champions League, ranking third in the group.

After defeating Villarreal, Napoli has reached four points and ranked second in the standings.

Bayern Munich has of course topped the list with two consecutive victories.

The situation of Manchester City's group qualifying is indeed very dangerous.

Due to their poor performance in the Champions League, although they played well in the league, they did not have a high opinion of them in all aspects, and the team is under considerable pressure now.

Xu Qi scored a goal in this game, and it seemed that the pressure was much less, but it was not the case.

When a person bears too many responsibilities, even if he completes his part but fails collectively, he still has to bear the responsibility for collective failure. Football is a team sport. If a person performs well but the team loses, he still cannot be said to be outstanding.

Although some media people may say that he could leave the court with his head held high, many people still think that he could have performed better.

Last season, he and Valencia both defeated Bayern. Bayern's lineup has not changed much this season, but he was unable to defeat Bayern with Manchester City. This is what disappoints.

In fact, the biggest change in Bayern this season is just to change to top goalkeeper Neuer, and the phone calls from other locations are really not big.

But if Bayern didn't have Neuer, he might not be able to hold three-pointers at home. Sometimes, a change in a position can indeed increase the combat effectiveness of a team a lot.

Back in the league, players need to quickly adjust their mindset to meet the challenges ahead.

Since Manchester City defeated Everton at home in the sixth round, while Manchester United was tied by Stoke City, the points of the two teams have now returned to a tying situation.

Entering October, for Chinese fans, the National Day Golden Week has once again ushered in, and the Premier League started again on the first day of the Golden Week.

Another wonderful visual feast, the more classic matchup this season is the North London derby, in which Tottenham defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home.

Manchester City's rival Manchester United also won again, and they defeated Norwich 2-0.

Next, Manchester City will play against Blackburn away.

Before the game, the reporters were still very concerned about the mid-week Champions League match. Xu Qi participated in the pre-match press conference, so many media were asking Xu Qi about the situation in the Champions League. After all, many media now believe that the situation of Manchester City's group qualifying situation is very critical.

"We will try our best to play the game in the future. I know that we are not doing well in the Champions League now, but we can still hold our hope of qualifying in the group in our own hands, and the whole team is moving in a better direction." Xu Qi hopes that the outside world will give Manchester City some confidence. The first Champions League journey is indeed not easy, and then he shifts the topic to the Premier League.

"I think we should focus on the Premier League, because the next game will be the Premier League rather than the Champions League." Xu Qi said seriously.

Mancini also said that he was actually very satisfied with the team's performance, and he also believed that the team would perform better in the future.

The contrast between the Champions League and the Premier League also made many Premier League fans satirize Manchester City as a favourite. In the Premier League, they didn't win a single game in the Champions League.

But Manchester City is indeed very arrogant!

In the seventh round, Ewood Park stadium challenged Blackburn away, and Manchester City swept the opponent four to zero.

Xu Qi scored the first record, and Balotelli made a contribution. Nasri, who came on as a substitute, also scored a goal. In the end, Montenegro young defender Savage scored a header.
