There is a full eight-point gap between the two sides. Compared with a real top-ranking battle in which whoever wins can climb to the top of the other side, this showdown between Manchester City and Fox City still lacks some excitement, but the defending champion The narrow encounter with the new dark horse also attracted a lot of topics. Coupled with the China Derby gimmick, the attention of this game was beyond the expectations of the Football Association.
CCTV once again sent a live broadcast team to broadcast the game live, and it was still the partners of He Shi and Liu Fanshu.
The group got off the plane smoothly, but what Liu Fanshu didn't expect was that she seemed to have some trouble when signing on arrival.
The stamped British girl stared at her again and again, and then asked uncertainly: "From China? Reporter? Live broadcast of the Manchester City game?"
"Yes," Liu Fan wrote, "Is there any problem?"
"Are you the Chinese girl that The Sun said was dating Yang?"
"If you're talking about that time in October, it should have been me."
Dayang Ma changed his face instantly and stared at Liu Fanshu again and again, and then the seal fell heavily.
"Peng!"
"Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
"..."
The group of people looked at each other, but soon laughed again.
He Shi said: "Fan Fan, it seems that you have become the public enemy of all women in Manchester."
Liu Fanshu was a little embarrassed, "Fortunately, they didn't drive me back."
Although they say this, they can clearly feel that the status of the Chinese here is obviously different from what it used to be.
Football is the number one sport in England, and Yang Feng is the undisputed number one superstar in the Premier League. The status of Chinese and even Asians in England has almost reached its highest point in history.
Yang Feng was already waiting outside, but he only picked up Liu Fanshu and made an appointment with He Shi and others to meet again after the game.
Liu Fanshu came to the passenger seat and sat down, and looked at Yang Feng and smiled.
The two chatted endlessly online and on the phone. Once they met, they didn't know what to say, but there was a tacit understanding.
With Yang Feng's current popularity, it was naturally difficult to go to any famous attractions. He could only go to the small park for a walk and chat. After dinner, he sent her back to the hotel.
The next day, the game was held as scheduled.
In the media area of Intihad Stadium, He Shi firmly sat in the C position. As the players from both sides finished warming up, he officially started working.
"Viewers, welcome to the famous Intihad Stadium. I am He Shi. Today I will bring you a focus match of the 2015-2016 Premier League season. The current number one in the standings will be Manchester City hosts second-placed Leicester City."
"I believe that fans and friends have been looking forward to this game for a long time, because there are Chinese players on both sides. This will be a veritable Chinese derby."
"There was an episode at the scene. The staff of Leicester City Club were distributing free beer to their fans. It can be seen that the relationship between the team and the fans is quite harmonious. This may be the reason why the team can achieve good results this season. One of the keys is that when they played against Chelsea, they also distributed potato chips to the fans. This kind of behavior will undoubtedly make the fans support the team more..."
"Okay, let's continue to introduce the two sides in this game. The current gap between the two sides is 8 points. With 20 rounds left in the league, this is not an unreachable point difference, and Manchester City has already won the Champions League. To qualify from the group, three consecutive Champions League titles are obviously more attractive than the Premier League title, so it is foreseeable that Blue Moon’s focus this season should be on the Champions League. Fox City does not have no chance, and this game is whether they can The key battle for reversal.”
"Manchester City's top scorer Yang Feng has scored 18 league goals this season, ranking first in the scorer list, while Manchester City's top scorer Vardy has scored 15 goals so far, ranking second in the scorer list. .
It is worth mentioning that in the 14th round of the Premier League, when Manchester City faced Manchester United at home, Vardy scored to help the team lead 1-0, completing the feat of scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League rounds. Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. , because just last season, Yang Feng had just set a crazy record of scoring in 17 consecutive Premier League games. Although Vardy's consecutive scoring games surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy, he could only rank second.
In addition, Wu Sanshi has already scored four league goals, and two of them are precious winning goals..."
The person who knows Yang Feng best in Leicester City is actually not Wu Sanshi, but Yang Feng's former teammate Fuchs.
The former Schalke 04 defender can almost be said to have witnessed Yang Feng's most important transformation and growth, but if he was asked to analyze Yang Feng, he would not be able to tell the reason.
Growing up too fast.
At first, he could abuse Yang Feng casually during the team's training, but then this kid was like a rocket. In just one and a half seasons, he became the most popular player in the Bundesliga, and now he is even more out of reach. , being teammates with Yang Feng has even become the most important resume in his playing career.
The two had already exchanged greetings during the warm-up, but after arriving in the player tunnel, Yang Feng still hugged him heavily.
"Don't tell me you'll be the one defending me today."
"I don't want to, but that's how the coach arranged it," Fuchs said with a wry smile. "Hewedes just talked to me on the phone yesterday. He said you will score at least 4 goals."
Wu Sanshi walked over with a smile, "Be gentle with your steps, Brother Feng."
Yang Feng didn't smile playfully at him, but just gave him a high-five and said, "Go all out!"
"There have been 108 historical encounters between the two sides. Manchester City has 53 wins, 28 draws and 27 losses. However, the last time Leicester City beat Manchester City was in 2003..."
"The game started and Manchester City kicked off first.
Aguero passed back, Yang Feng separated the sides, and Manchester City controlled the rhythm in the backcourt.
Let’s take a look at both sides’ starting lineups.
Leicester City's starting lineup is 4-3-3.
Goalkeeper: 1-Schmeichel Jr.;
Defenders: 17-Simpson, 5-Morgan, 6-Huth, 28-Fuchs;
Midfielder: 33-Inle, 4-Drinkwater, 10-Andy King;
Forwards: 26-Mares, 9-Vardy, 11-Wu Sanshi. "
"Manchester City came out 4-3-2-1.
Goalkeeper: 1-Oblak;
Defenders: 2-Welchier, 4-Kompany, 6-Van Dijk, 3-Cancelo;
Midfielder: 7-Kante, 8-Kros, 30-Xavi Alonso;
Midfielder: 21-David Silva, 9-Yang Feng;
Forward: 16-Aguero.
De Bruyne sat on the bench, and Pellegrini rarely used a back three. Is it because he was worried about Leicester City's forward line? That shouldn't be the case, right? However, Leicester City's recent offensive is indeed very powerful, having scored goals in fourteen consecutive games. "
Watching Manchester City's first start on the field, Ranieri had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
There is a huge gap between the lineups of both sides. The only opportunity Leicester City can seize is to take advantage of Manchester City's carelessness and arrogance. However, in terms of formation, they have three forwards, while Pellegrini abnormally He chose a single forward formation, and his attention was almost written on his face. How could he leave any loopholes for him.
In history, the Fox City team was able to create miracles, and Kanter was the absolute hero, but now Kanter was poached by Yang Feng to his side, and then he added a Wusanshi to Leicester City...
Now Sanshi is obsessed with Kanter, and for Manchester City, it is obviously a fool's errand to rely on Fuchs to limit Yang Feng.
Of course, comparing those three stones with Yang Feng is just the wishful thinking of some patriotic fans. The one who is targeting Yang Feng in Fox City is actually Vardy.
Vardy is very active and excited, but compared with Yang Feng's performance of bringing wonderful breakthroughs or effective passes every time he touches the ball, his activity is more like a engineer-like diligence and a fighter-like unyielding. Judging from the career trajectories of the two, this comparison is almost a portrayal of their respective careers.
One is from the youth training camp of a Bundesliga team, winner of the Golden Boy Award, and a solid young genius. The other started from amateur football and reached the second place in the Premier League step by step. He is simply an inspirational example.
In the first ten minutes of the game, Manchester City continued to threaten.
Although Yang Feng is positioned as a midfielder, once the game starts, his position will become very flexible, and he can be seen almost in the entire midfield.
When he gets the ball, the defender has no idea whether he is going to rush, pass or shoot, let alone knowing it is useless.
"Yang Feng faked the fax and suddenly kicked the door, but unfortunately it was slightly higher than the crossbar..."
"Xavi Alonso made a long pass from the backcourt, Yang Feng and Silva cooperated in a one-two, cut inside, and passed the ball through! Aguero single-handedly... Is he offside?"
"Man City quickly took a free kick. Yang Feng dribbled the ball from the middle and made a wonderful pass with his heel! Kroos pushed from outside the penalty area... The goalkeeper performed very well and blocked the ball from the baseline. Manchester City's corner kick."
"Kros kicked the ball out, and Van Dijk grabbed the first point and headed the ball! Kompany passed the ball to Yang Feng! Yang Feng hooked upside down! Oops, it was too straight."
A series of attacks left Leicester City completely breathless. Judging from the scene, this was simply a championship team fighting a relegation team. This made many fans who already held the "Leicester City luck theory" more and more certain. This is the true strength of Fox City. Who knew that just when Manchester City was on the rise, an inadvertent counterattack by Fox City almost caused them to stumble.
Cancelo stepped in and hit the goal but was blocked. Schmeichel stood up and quickly threw the ball. Fuchs, who was standing next to Yang Feng defending just now, quickly ran out and was in position before Yang Feng could return to defense. A long pass to midfield.
Drinkwater directly launched a long pass to the falling football. Unfortunately, the ball went too far and fell directly to the left side of Manchester City's penalty area.
Cancelo assists forward. It's true that there is an empty place, but the problem is that there is no one to respond when you hit it.
Before the jeers started, Vardy's figure suddenly entered the camera.
The Fox forward gritted his teeth and ran wildly, and unexpectedly saved the ball before it was about to fly out of the baseline.
There were various exclamations in the audience.
"...Dlingwater made a long pass mistake...huh? Vardy! He didn't give up! He caught up! Vardy took the ball near the baseline! Wu Sanshi and Mares rushed to the goal, and Vardy made a pass!"
Van Dyke jumped high at the front point, but did not touch the football. The football flew straight to the back point.
Wu Sanshi looked at the football flying towards him. The whole world seemed to be quiet, and he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
Move laterally, get rid of, hit the goal... Will.
"Shh~~"
"Wu Sanshi shot. Oblak reacted quickly and blocked the ball with his body. Van Dijk made a big kick. It was Manchester City's turn to counterattack!"
Van Dijk's clearance was not just a random kick, but a shot based on Silva's position.
Silva stopped the ball with his chest, picked it up with his outside instep, and lifted the ball over Inle's head, and then hoisted the ball into the penalty area.
Aguero had his back to the goal. He originally wanted to imitate Yang Feng and shoot an overhead kick. Unexpectedly, Morgan behind him was as hard as a wall and gave him no chance at all. He could only jump up hard and head the ball into the penalty area. outside.
As expected, Yang Feng was the first to attack and volleyed at the football.
It is recognized by the entire Manchester City that in terms of shooting, Yang Feng's sudden volley is even more accurate than his usual well-prepared run-up shot.
The football shot out of the barrel like a cannon and went straight into the blind spot under Schmeichel's desperate eyes.
1-0.
"Van Dijk made a big-footed clearance. Silva picked the ball up and passed the ball long into the penalty area. Aguero returned the ball with a header. Yang Feng followed up and hit the goal with a volley! The ball went in! Yang Feng used a picturesque volley Volley opened the scoring for Manchester City!”
"Goal!
! In just ten seconds, two Chinese forwards completed shots one after another, but the results were completely different! Yang's posture is so relaxed, watching him volley is simply a pleasure. The last person who gave us this experience was Van Persie..."
Yang Feng rushed to the sideline and roared like a lion.
The fans responded enthusiastically, and the Manchester City generals were deeply affected. The atmosphere at Intihad's home court was already full of enthusiasm and momentum.
Liu Fanshu jumped up in her seat and cheered enthusiastically along with the fans around her. Unexpectedly, the broadcast camera was silently focused on her.
The scene where Yang Feng sent her back to the hotel last night naturally did not escape the British paparazzi's lens. The identity of the rumored girlfriend was completely confirmed.
Reinker exclaimed: "Oh, I found the reason why Yang is so excited. With such a beautiful lady watching the game, I think he will at least score a hat trick today."
Wu Sanshi bit his lip and walked back to the midfield silently.
Vardy hated the iron and said: "Wu, you are playing too anxiously! Calm down! Calm down!"
"I got it, Jamie."
"No, you don't know," Vardy has heard too many times, "you don't have much time and you have to change it quickly, otherwise this shot will become your muscle memory and become part of your career. .”
Fuchs was about to walk back to the backcourt, but after hearing this, he also joined in, "Listen to me, Wu, Yang was almost like you in the early days. He even set a record of not scoring three times in a row in a game, but he It’s been corrected very well now, and I believe you can do the same.”
"..." Wu Sanshi said, can you find another reference?
Just like Yang Feng's volley just now, he couldn't hit it even if he was given a hundred chances.
