"Xu, how are you doing recently?" J Luo greeted with a smile.

"As you can see, it's great. If Real Madrid is eliminated, I will be happier!" Xu Qi replied with a smile.

"If you are happy, I will be unhappy. This year, I will do my best to stop you!" J Luo also said.

A year ago, they fought side by side against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Now, J Ronaldo joins Real Madrid, while Xu Qi represents another team and becomes Real Madrid's opponent again.

The world of football is always so magical.

This is the first time that the two teams met in the Champions League. Before that, they have never met in the Champions League.

This is naturally because Manchester City's Champions League results in recent seasons have been too poor.

Almost every time it is the first round of the knockout round.

And now, they are participating in the semi-finals for the first time.

The opponent is Real Madrid, the runner-up winner of the Champions League last season.

When everything was ready, the referee finally blew the whistle to the beginning of the game. The whistle sounded, the ball began to roll, and the fans at the scene emitted a burst of warm cheers.

In this game, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti's arrangements were very clear and low-key.

With the lessons learned from being hat-tricked by Xu Qi last time, Ancelotti focused more on Xu Qi this time.

Real Madrid actually fought a defensive counterattack at the Etihad Stadium.

I have to say that Xu Qi's deterrence is indeed too strong.

Ancelotti's tactics are really pragmatic and low-key.

But it is indeed very practical. They got the opportunity to defeat the enemy by counterattacking just two minutes into the opening game.

At the front of the penalty area, Bale got a chance, and Ronaldo waved to the ball on the other side, but Bale felt that the ball was completely within his range, so he directly chose to shoot a long shot.

The ball was slightly off and did not complete the goal.

However, it did make the Manchester City players sweat in a cold sweat.

I have to say that with players like Bale and Ronaldo, the counterattack is really too fast.

I just saw a slap! a slap! a slap! a slap!

After a few passes, Real Madrid's offensive hit the front of the penalty area.

When Pellegrini saw this attitude, she felt something was wrong.

If the game is at this pace, Manchester City will most likely fail.

However, at the beginning of the game, he could not rush to make adjustments. Soon, Real Madrid's counterattack came again.

This time it's Bell!

In this game, Bale did shine at the beginning, which is different from his performance in many games this season.

In fact, Bale's presence is not high in many games this season. This game is indeed a bit abnormal. Bale's presence is very high!

His breakthrough was blocked by Kolarov. Just five minutes into the game, Kolarov received a yellow card for blocking Bale.

Another bad news is here.

Originally, Kolarov had a very high defensive pressure in this game, and now he was given a yellow card at the beginning. What should I do?

Ronaldo also took advantage of this free kick to try his hand, but this time his shot did not penetrate the wall, which made Lampard's chest hurt.

Lampard's chest hurts, and now Pellegrini has a real headache.

Because Kolarov's yellow card made him feel that the situation was not good.

Can't I change to Krish right now, right?

Pellegrini felt that he made some mistakes in starting adjustment this time. He should start Krish. After all, Krish should be able to beat Bale in terms of speed.

But Kolarov really couldn't stand it.

Originally, Pellegrini thought Kolarov was more stable, but now I imagine that it is more critical to keep up with Bale.

Xu Qi also saw Kolarov's difficulties and has now taken the initiative to retreat. On the one hand, he took the initiative to help Kolarov assist in defense. He also knew that Bale was not easy to deal with. On the other hand, although he was far away from the goal, he could still use his organizational ability. When he got the ball in the backcourt, Xu Qi could still find a good offensive idea.

Xu Qi is not slow either. Although he is still slightly disadvantageous in sprinting speed compared to Bale, his flexibility and turn speed are more advantageous. In terms of starting speed, Xu Qi can even be fast.

Therefore, Xu Qi can completely keep up with Bell.

This is not the first time the two of them have confronted each other.

When they first met, Xu Qi was in Donetsk and Bale was in Tottenham, and both sides were unknown.

But now, they are all top superstars in the top five in the world football world.

Xu Qi's retreat was indeed effective. He was in the backcourt and Real Madrid could not fight back on the right side.

Xu Qi has a very good judgment and can judge Real Madrid's passing route very well. He once practiced interception skills and his predictions are top-notch.

In addition, he is fast and quick to play, so he can intercept Real Madrid's pass to Bale very calmly.

After Xu Qi intercepted, he would send the ball to the frontcourt as soon as possible and let the team fight a counterattack with the opponent.

In this way, the offensive effect will be even better.

In the tenth minute of the game, Xu Qi intercepted the ball and launched a fast attack, giving the ball to Lampard.

Lampard decisively distributed it to David Silva, who swept the ball accurately to Aguero.

However, although Aguero received the ball this time, he immediately fell into the encirclement between Varane and Ramos, and his hastily shot missed the ball.

However, this attack has already posed a threat.

Next, the rhythm of the game between both sides was carried out under this counterattack routine.

Both sides actually dare to invest their troops when attacking, so the pace of this game is also very fast and exciting.

Dangers will occur once in a short time, but the goal has not yet arrived.

The competition between the two sides is mainly concentrated on the side where Xu Qi and Bale are located, while some of them are rarely seen on the side of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Today, Ronaldo's presence is a bit low.

Of course, Manchester City will not relax its warning to Ronaldo because of this.

Just like after Xu Qi has retreated to his half, Pepe will still come to guard Xu Qi.

As the main players of both teams, the defensive specifications they are subject to are definitely the highest level.

When both the main players have no chance to score, all the deputy players have come out to show their abilities.

Although they are deputy generals, each of these people is a well-known big-name star in the world, and their strength is extraordinary.

After a while, Tony Cross suddenly made a cold arrow outside the penalty area and was blocked by Joe Hart.

After a while, Lampard also kicked the flying fairy outside the penalty area and rose above the crossbar.

After a while, J Luo sent out a wonderful diagonal pass, and Varane almost scored the goal.

Immediately afterwards, David Silva set up a cannon for Fernandinho, causing Fernandinho to do a miracle.

Of course, the miracle did not come.

The score is still zero to zero.

When zero is zero, it is always nervous and exciting.

Usually, in the twenty minutes, the fans' tension will slightly fade away. At this time, goals need to be scored to keep their mood excited.

It's less than twenty minutes, and the game is now eighteen minutes.

Manchester City completed a backcourt steal and a chance to counterattack appeared.
Chapter completed!
