Chapter 158 Semi-Finals Next

Van Basten's outing and reprimanding at halftime had an effect. The second half lasted less than five minutes and Manchester City scored.

It was Robinho who scored this time.

Zhang Yang withdrew to the midfield this time to ask for the ball. As soon as he turned around, he saw Lyon midfielder Karlstrom.

Zhang Yang stepped on the bicycle twice in a row. Carlstrom couldn't figure out Zhang Yang's idea. His body did not dare to move. He could only lower his center of gravity and stared at the football.

Just as Zhang Yang shook his right foot for the third time, he suddenly pushed the football from the outside and then accelerated around the left side of Karlstrom!

The human ball has been divided!

Karlstrom was shocked, but there was nothing he could do. When he turned around to chase him, Zhang Yang had already taken the ball away.

Then, in the face of Sissotko's grab, Zhang Yang stopped, accelerated, and carried the ball horizontally. After the cheated Tulalan grabbed the grab, Zhang Yang suddenly accelerated and entered the penalty area!

However, he didn't hit the goal, but after making a shot, which attracted the attention of Lyon's defenders, he crossed the football to the back of the middle, unmarked Robinho!

This time, in the face of the empty goal, Robinho did not waste the opportunity, and he easily pushed the ball in.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"The goal is scored! Robinho! He easily pushed the empty goal! Zhang Yang's breakthrough and passing are so beautiful. All Robinho has to do is wait for a goal!"

"One to zero! Manchester City broke the deadlock on the field! It's not surprising that Manchester City leads. It's just that the game didn't score goals until the second half. It's really unexpected. Anyway, Manchester City scored! Zhang Yang and his teammates went one step further towards the final!"

After scoring the goal, Robinho ran to Zhang Yang, and then hugged him. Zhang Yang laughed. He patted Robinho on the shoulder, "Robby, if you can't score this goal, I will kill you!"

Robinho is a very aura player, but I don't know why this guy has been wasting goal opportunities in the game one after another, especially some opportunities to hit the empty goal, which were also missed by him. This also made Robinho suffer from ridicule, and some media even gave him a new nickname: Mr.

Robinho's goal demoralized Lyon. What they had done before was to avoid conceded the goal. The Lyon team's good idea was that if they could draw with Manchester City zero to zero, it would be a pretty good result. As for whether they could score their own goals, this was hardly within them.

Lyon's good plan is to draw with Manchester City away and return to the home for the follow-up.

It's just that the loss of the ball has caused a big blow to the Lyon team's wishes. Now, they must make a choice. They must continue to defend to avoid further loss of the ball, or to gamble and suppress the attack and strive to equalize the score.

Pierre, the head coach of Lyon, frowned. The current situation gave him a headache. Manchester City's mental outlook changed greatly after the halftime, which made him vigilant. If the Lyon team suppresses the attack, will it hit Van Basten?!

Therefore, Pierre chose to be conservative. He made a gesture to the players, to be steady, not to rush to counterattack, to be defensive, and not to lose the ball again.

The leading Manchester City team will play better and better.

They gradually gained an advantage on the court. For a while, they even bombarded around Lyon's goal. Unfortunately, Lyon's goalkeeper Loris was in good shape. He made three saves in a row and finally kept the goal.

Pierre was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense. After getting up from the ground, he shouted the name of the defender.

"Don't let them shoot so easily! Even a long shot won't work!"

"Be careful of publicity! Be careful of his shot and pay attention to his score!"

"Two sides and ribs!"

"The defense is tougher! Didn't you eat?!"

Under the command of Pierre's roar, Lyon's seemingly shaky defense finally stabilized.

After a series of unsuccessed attempts at Manchester City. It also began to contract in a planned way to avoid the emptiness of the back defense line due to excessive emphasis on the attack.

After the first half of the game, Manchester City gradually calmed down and realized that Lyon was not a weak team. When playing against this team, they must also be vigilant. It's not easy to kill Real Madrid's team!

The two sides fell into a stalemate again. There are not many chances for the two teams to really threaten the goal, and they are caught in a hard battle in the midfield.

The scramble between the two sides is also getting bigger and bigger.

After 73 minutes of the game, Zhang Yang carried the ball in the front court. He passed the ball to Ireland and tried to make a wall-to-wall match.

Zhang Yang inserted forward, but did not see the football follow. Instead, he heard a whistle. Looking back, he saw Ireland falling to the ground and rolling with his right leg in his arms.

"Red card!!" Wright. Phillips shouted loudly.

And Modric rushed up and shouted at the foul Tulalang, "Where to kick?" What a bastard!"

"Who are you scolding?" Turran is not willing to show weakness.

Seeing that there was a direct conflict between the two sides, the clear-headed players of the two teams rushed up to completely separate them.

Zhang Yang pulled Modric out and shouted at the Croats, "You idiot! Don't you want to play in the finals?!"

Modric has a yellow card. If he takes another yellow card, he will be sent off by a red card! If you get a red card directly like this, you will not only be suspended in the next game, but also be suspended in nine cases. In that case, even if Manchester City reaches the final, Modric will be absent.

Modric was also afraid for a while, and his brain just got hot.

Zhang Yang patted Modric on the shoulder. Anyway, Modric's behavior of standing up for his teammates should not be criticized.

Zhang Yang walked over and said to Ireland, who was being carried out by a stretcher, "Don't worry, we will make it to the finals!"

Ireland nodded. Now he only hopes that his injury is not too serious. He doesn't want to miss the final. For these Manchester City players, they may never dream that they will one day be able to play in the semi-finals of the Champions League or even the finals!

The referee first called Modric and Tulalang alone and warned them verbally. However, he did not show a yellow card like Tularan, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Manchester City.

Zhang Yang protested to the referee for this. After being verbally warned by the referee, he walked away unhappyly.

"Since wearing the captain's armband, Zhang Yang has become more and more stable. In the past, Zhang Yang must have been the first to rush to fight. Now he can control his emotions well. He knows the responsibility of the captain's armband! Even if it's a protest, publicity is enough!" The French commentator sighed, "Responsibility can make a person mature! This can be seen from Zhang Yang. Now, I have no doubt that he will become a great leader and star!"

Modric's penalty kick caused Lyon's goalkeeper Loris to get rid of it. Zhang Yang shot the football into the net with an unconventional half-turning and volley.

2 to 0!

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang ran and greeted his teammates to come over. They ran to the sidelines together to greet the Manchester City fans in the stands, as if they had won the game.

Although the players of the Lyon team hate it, what can they do? Although the score of zero to two cannot be said to be a fiasco, their second round of the game has been overshadowed.

At the same time, Ireland was also influenced by Gareth. Barry replaced it.

In the end, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final with Lyon, Manchester City defeated Lyon 2-1 at home. Ireland, the home team's Irish star, was injured and left the field. After the game, the official website of Manchester City Club announced that Ireland would rest for half a month due to injury.

Win Lyon 2-1 at home!

Although the game process is not as exciting as people predicted, this score is undoubtedly acceptable to Manchester City.

"Manchester City has stepped into the finals with one foot, and we will very likely see the shadow of this non-traditional forces from Manchester in Bernabeu!" - Milan Sport

The Manchester City Evening News is in its own newspaper, which has excitedly publicly called on Manchester City fans to prepare for the Champions League finals in Bernabeu.

In the first round of another semi-final, Inter Milan beat Bayern Munich 2-1 at home, and Inter Milan's Argentine striker Diego. Milito scored twice to help Mourinho's team take the lead in the two-round elimination system.

Zhang Yang's goal in the match with Lyon is his fifteenth goal in the Champions League this season!

Now, he is only one goal away from his record of 16 goals in a single season in the Champions League.

After playing against Lyon, Manchester City will face another fierce battle in the Premier League over the weekend. Their opponent is Arsenal!

Manchester City VS Arsenal, this should have been a battle between dragons and tigers, but because it will be the second round of the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of next week, and Manchester City is five points ahead of the second place Chelsea in the league, all this determines the nature of the game.

Van Basten has rotated for Manchester City. Now, the whole team is thinking about the Champions League semi-finals with Lyon. Now, they are only one step away from the final. It can even be said that they are only two years away from reaching the top of Europe. It's time to walk!

Whther is more important than the Champions League champion or the league champion? This debate is no longer necessary and is not the focus. Manchester City is now competing for both champions, and thanks to their excellent performance in the league, the five-point advantage makes them have the courage to choose to rotate when facing Arsenal in time.

April 24, 2010, Emirates Stadium, Arsenal, London.

The 90-minute game is over, and the scoreboard of the Emirates Stadium has not changed from zero!

Manchester City drew ero to Arsenal away from home!

In this game, Van Basten hid including Zhang Yang, Modric, Sabaleta and Wright. The four absolute main players, including Phillips, especially the absence of publicity, reduced the offensive level of Manchester City by more than one level.

However, such a Manchester City team impressed everyone. They tenaciously tied Arsenal and retreated from the Emirates Stadium!

Van Basten's team only got five shots in this game, but they resisted Arsenal's 23-triles and didn't let Arsenal score.

"In this game, Van Basten's team looks more like an Italian team!" - The Times described it after the game.

In the 36th round of the league, Manchester City led the table with 83 points, Chelsea followed with 80 points, Manchester United ranked third with 77 points, and Arsenal qualified for the Champions League with 72 points and two rounds ahead.

In the game against Arsenal, Van Basten boldly chose the rotation, and this rotation also received results.
