Young Football Player

"From the beginning of the game, Schalke 04 played very proactively at the Etihad Stadium, but Manchester City, playing at home, was somewhat passive."

Manchester City was indeed passive until the 11th minute when they counterattacked through Yaya Toure's long pass, and Negredo completed the first kick.

This situation is not the same as what the Manchester City fans thought. They were also a little anxious, and started to stand up and sing the team song early.

In the 17th minute, Li Chenglong completed a beautiful consecutive dribble in the frontcourt. First, he caught the ball and started it. Facing Fernandinho's attack, Li Chenglong directly passed the opponent with an emergency stop, deceleration, spiking and change of direction, and then Stepped on a bicycle in the penalty area to confuse Demichelis, and then accelerated to pass the two guys to complete the goal.

This series of dribbles is very beautiful, but Kompany's position selection is excellent, he made a judgment early, ran into the path of Lee Chenglong's shot, raised his foot, and blocked the ball.

Although Kompany is also the kind of player whose body is a bit brittle, he really sucks water when he is healthy.

"Bruce Lee's series of easy and freehand dribbling breakthroughs just now, if Kompany did not play well, it is likely to form a goal."

"I think this is why more and more people believe that he is the third player in football after Melo."

The commentators from various countries praised Li Chenglong in due course.

Schalke turned away at the Etihad Stadium, taking advantage of the scene.

However, although Manchester City can only passively defend and counterattack, they can still hold on. After they shrink their formation, there are not many opportunities for Schalke.

In the 23rd minute, David Silva sent a precise through ball in the counterattack, and Negredo went around to catch the ball and formed a single shot, but his last shot was weak at the foot, and the ball was picked up by the calm Navas Down.

Although he didn't concede the ball, Stevens was a little worried about the opponent's sharp counterattack, and began to shout from the sidelines.

"Calm down, pay attention to defense!!"

For Schalke, it is best to be able to make a difference in the first round away game, but if there is no chance, it is completely acceptable to draw Schalke away.

Go back to Schalke in the second round. Schalke, who has been playing well at home this season, is not afraid of them. Even if Manchester City has Aguero and will come back, don't Hewedes and Draxler Will there be a comeback?

Under Stevens' orders, Schalke was less aggressive, which allowed Manchester City to have fewer chances to counterattack.

The rhythm of both sides has slowed down, and Schalke is simply looking for opportunities around Jackie Lee.

In the 28th minute, Jackie Chan passed David Silva and then picked a pass from the penalty area. Huntelaar's header went high.

In the 34th minute, Manchester City's corner kick, David Silva's ball was very good, but Yaya Toure ran into the goalkeeper in the process of running for the top.

The game gradually turned into a back-and-forth tug-of-war of the balance of power between the two sides, both of whom were using limited opportunities to try to find goals.

Under such circumstances, the game time also passed quickly.

In the 44th minute, when the first half was about to end, Jackie Lee received a pass from Kanter on the right side of the frontcourt. At this time, the Manchester City players seemed to be a little lax, and no one came up to press immediately.

So Li Chenglong flicked the ball lightly, immediately bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot a powerful long-range shot.

When Li Chenglong made a sideways long shot,

The Manchester City players saw his intentions, and Fernandinho, who was closest, immediately rushed to block.

But he came a step late, and the ball flew past his face at an extremely fast speed, flew over the top of Kompany's bald head in the penalty area, and flew to the upper left corner of the goal.

Joe Hart is like those times when he appeared in the goal highlights, and he flew in after half a beat, so he became a beautiful background board, and he made a very stretched save in the air, but But the ball just flew over his palm and hit the net headlong.

"oooooooooal~~~~~~~~" The commentators from all over the world roared out.

"Super Bruce~~~~ A long-range shot and a world wave goal!!!"

"This is a very beautiful goal, a very beautiful long-range world wave, poor Joe Hart, he has become the background board of the world wave again!!"

"When neither side has many chances, the role of superstars like Bruce Lee is reflected. They can always create unlimited possibilities in limited opportunities, which is why everyone likes to watch stars play football. "

"Actually, as far as this game is concerned, neither side played very well in the first half, and there was something to watch in the opening 20 minutes. The next two teams were relatively conservative, but this beautiful goal by Bruce Lee , finally let this half have a bright spot."

A long-range shot made the Etihad Stadium quiet. The singing of the Manchester City fans was gone, only the cheers and roars of the Schalke players on the field.

Jackie Chan's goal happened at the end of the first half, so after the Schalke team celebrated wildly on the field, the game time has entered the first half injury time.

This made the Manchester City players directly give up their plan to look for opportunities in the first half. They consciously chose to withdraw from the team and look for opportunities in the second half.

At halftime, Stevens was pleased with his team's first-half performance.

At present, the team has scored an away goal, and the score is still leading temporarily. These are very beneficial to Schalke.

So Stevens asked the whole team to be like the second half of the first half, don't worry, slow down the pace and play slowly. Now it should be Manchester City who should be anxious.

Fifteen minutes after the intermission, the two teams returned to the court again, and the game continued with the exchange of venues.

As soon as the second half started, Manchester City really started to counterattack, which is what they had to do.

However, Schalke's overall defense is not bad, and no flaws have been leaked.

So Manchester City counterattacked for more than ten minutes and still had no effect. In the 57th minute, Pellegrini used up two substitutions at once.

Xavi Garcia came on to replace Kolarov, Nasri came on to replace Jesus Navas, and the two new players pushed forward and changed to a 4231 formation.

The Chilean engineer is expressing his determination. He can accept a home draw, but a home loss is absolutely unacceptable.

After the substitution adjustment, the morale of Manchester City really increased, and they quickly created a threat.

In the 64th minute, Javi Garcia, who had just played, sent a cross from the right. Yaya Toure suddenly inserted a header from the back row and rushed to the top, which was very powerful.

Fortunately, Navas also performed very well. He raised his hand with a quick response and shot the ball.

This time the attack was resolved, and the Etihad Stadium was filled with sighs after exclamations.

Seeing Manchester City's fierce offensive, Stevens also immediately made a substitution, allowing Fox to replace Gretzka on the field to strengthen the midfield defense.

Now the two teams almost switched positions, Manchester City took the initiative to attack, Schalke became the defensive counterattack side, and Kanter, Neustadter and Kevin Boateng all returned to the midfielder position. Going up, this is almost the same as Manchester City's four midfielder tactics in the first half.

Although this style of play is conservative, it does have an effect, which greatly limits Manchester City's offensive.

As a result, the field became a situation where Manchester City could not attack for a long time, the game time was getting less and less, and Manchester City played more and more aggressively.

In the 86th minute, when the game was about to end, Manchester City pressed up again.

Kanter intercepted Nasri's pass in the backcourt. Although he failed to intercept the ball directly, he blocked the ball to Atsuto Uchida's feet.

Uchida took the ball and counterattacked with a long pass, looking for Li Chenglong's point.

Jackie Lee was in midfield, and it happened that Demichelis was following him.

Facing the high-altitude ball passed by Uchida, Li Chenglong stuck his position, pressed Demichelis with his body, gave way sideways, let the ball pass, and then turned around to chase.

This handling of the ball did allow Li Chenglong to get rid of the Argentine successfully, and he could counterattack with the ball comfortably.

After catching up to get the ball, there is only one Clichy in front of Li Chenglong, the last defensive player of Manchester City except the goalkeeper.

Li Chenglong met Chrissy near the penalty area line, and tried to dribble the ball to break through with a fake move of sinking shoulders to confuse the opponent.

But Chrissy was also very aware of the situation, he tried his best to keep up with Lee Chenglong's pace and waited for his teammates to come back.

Chrissy's blocking did indeed have an effect, and Demichelis, who was desperately chasing after him, had already caught up.

Li Chenglong also knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so he decisively accelerated the ball and directly forced it.

So, with Chrissy blocking in front of him, Demichelis chasing up to double-team behind him, and even reaching out to grab someone, Li Chenglong bumped into the penalty area, and the ball was still at his feet, but But the person has been pulled and turned around, turning his back to the goal.

Under such circumstances, Li Chenglong had a flash of inspiration, and directly retracted his legs with his back to the goal, and knocked the ball with his heel.

Joe Hart, who was standing in front of the goal, was waiting, and was about to step forward to confiscate the ball when he saw the right moment. He never expected that Jackie Chan would come.

So he stood on the goal line in a daze, watching the ball roll past his feet and into the goal with his mouth half open.

"Goooooooooooal~~~~~~~~~~" The commentators from all over the world roared with surprise.

"Bruce Lee, a very magical goal, a goal that caught people off guard!!"

"When he was double-teamed and defended by two fouls, he just broke into the penalty area, with his back to the goal, and knocked the ball to score!!"

"This is really an astonishing goal, a goal full of unlimited imagination. Only a superstar like Li can think of such a clever way to score!"

After knocking the ball, Li Chenglong fell in the penalty area.

One is that the two of them really moved a lot, which made Li Chenglong unable to stand upright, and the other is that Li Chenglong didn't know whether this kick with his back would be useful. If it didn't work, he could justifiably ask the referee for points after falling to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, Li Chenglong heard the exclamation of Manchester City fans behind the goal.

Get up and look back, the ball has stopped in the opponent's goal.

Li Chenglong immediately stepped forward excitedly, and before running, he blew a kiss to Demichelis, then waved his fists and rushed to the sidelines, roaring loudly at the stands.

Soon, the entire Schalke team rushed over and celebrated wildly on the sidelines together.

Everyone on the Schalke coaching staff was cheering and hugging to celebrate, while Pellegrini was sitting on the coach chair with his head down, and even the boos of the Manchester City fans in the stands seemed weak.
