"Hello viewers, this game is the highlight of the third round of the Champions League group stage. Monaco plays away against the upstart Manchester City in the Premier League."
"Although there have only been two rounds of the Champions League, the situation of many groups is already very clear. Many top clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Bayern have achieved two consecutive victories and are on the verge of qualifying. Monaco, which has returned to the Champions League, has also achieved two victories. Winning streak, very good condition.”
"But Manchester City, the upstart Premier League team in the same group, is far behind. They have one draw in two games and are on the verge of elimination. If they can't win this game, their prospects for the Champions League will be completely slim."
"Today both teams are playing with almost all their main players. Monaco wants to qualify early, and Manchester City wants to retain their hope of promotion. This important game is about to begin."
"The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!"
"Manchester City took the lead in this game! They passed the ball continuously in the midfield, and their formation continued to press forward."
"Today Manchester City adopted a 3-4-3 formation, which has a very strong offensive power. Especially the three forwards Tevez, Adebayor and Wright-Phillips, these three players are all top forwards."
"Tevez and Phillips were separated on the left, running quickly! The left winger Petrov ran wildly with the ball and shook Flamini away! Keep walking to the wing!"
"Sun Jihai suddenly made a sliding tackle from the front! Petrov was tackled out of the baseline even with the ball in hand! This tackle was so neat!"
The hot-tempered Petrov got up from the ground and looked for the person who had knocked him down with an angry face. When he saw Sun Jihai, he suddenly lost most of his anger.
"Sun, what's going on with you? Are you so cruel?"
Sun Jihai shrugged and said as if he deserved it: "It's normal. We are opponents. It is my responsibility to overthrow you."
"Okay, it's yours!" Petrov was angry and didn't know where to vent his anger...
Manchester City's throw-in was taken away and their attack continued.
This time they started to advance from the center. Today, Manchester City's midfielder is partnered by veterans Vieira and De Jong. Both of them are ruthless players.
Vieira, who lost his place at Inter Milan this season, was loaned to Manchester City. He is in good form after returning to the Premier League and has started almost every game recently.
Although he is 34 years old, his defensive ability is still among the best in the world, but standing opposite him is another world-class midfielder, Makelele.
As the top defensive player of an era, Makelele is often compared with Vieira. Both of them play for wealthy clubs and are teammates of the national team. Unexpectedly, they will meet again and become each other's opponents.
Vieira wanted to shake Makelele away, but his old friend was unmoved, and just when he was in a stalemate, a foot suddenly stretched out from beside him and instantly snatched the ball away!
"Old captain, the ball is mine!"
Ljungberg dribbled the ball into the Manchester City half.
As former Arsenal teammates, Vieira and Ljungberg once teamed up to create Arsenal's unbeaten season, and they are both legendary players of the Gunners.
But at this time, the two of them wore different jerseys and represented different players and met in the Champions League. Their match was really interesting.
"Stop him!" Vieira shouted at De Jong!
Vieira knows Ljungberg’s attacking ability very well! He once formed Arsenal's invincible midfield attack combination with Pires!
In fact, without Vieira speaking, De Jong had already rushed towards Ljungberg.
The Dutch butcher, who played for Hamburg in the Bundesliga last season, has now moved to Manchester City.
When he first entered the factory, when De Jong saw Yun Sheng, he remembered the moment when Hamburg was defeated by Cottbus in the 2070 season, and he became very angry.
He can't go to Yun Sheng to cause trouble, he can only compete with Yun Sheng's players!
"De Jong made a fierce tackle and knocked down Ljungberg! This tackle was too hard!"
Ljungberg was tackled from behind by De Jong and could not get up for a long time, and the referee quickly stopped the game to check on Ljungberg.
Yun Sheng on the sidelines was extremely anxious, and Monaco's team doctor also hurriedly stepped forward to check.
After a while, Ljungberg got up from the ground, shook his ankle and frowned slightly.
"Is there a problem?" the team doctor asked with concern.
Ljungberg shook his head: "It's okay, I can still hold on, and I haven't knocked out any vital points."
Ljungberg glanced at De Jong. De Jong was as unconcerned as a normal person. Even though he had just received a yellow card, he didn't care.
Monaco kicks off and the game continues.
According to Yunsheng's arrangement, Monaco did not act rashly. They still focused on defense and looked for opportunities to counterattack.
Seeing Monaco not going up, Hughes on the sidelines became anxious.
what's the situation? Do they want a draw on the road?
They have accumulated 6 points in the previous two games and are already in sight of qualifying. It doesn't matter even if they can't win this game.
But not Manchester City! If this game is tied again, there will not be much competition and time left for them!
"Press up! Press them all on me! I want to score!"
Hughes on the sidelines shouted loudly, but Yun Sheng next to him remained calm.
Soon, our chance is coming.
Now the full-backs Sylvinho and Richards are also pressing forward, leaving only Lescott and Kolo Toure in the defense.
Monaco seems to be retreating across the board, but even if several forwards return to defense, they are always ready to counterattack.
Kolarov took the ball forward along the wing again, and he also bumped into Sun Jihai again.
Seeing the persistent look in the Chinese defender's eyes, Kolarov really didn't want to tangle with him.
As a former Manchester City teammate, Kolarov knows how powerful this Chinese guy is.
In the Premier League, he is famous for his spirit of never giving up. He once created a 1VS4 show in Manchester City. In the attack of four forwards, he broke the defense with one person and tried to keep the goal.
Just when he was hesitating, Sylvinho rushed up behind him: "Give me the ball!"
Kolarov didn't hesitate, knocked the ball back, then cut inside, ran out of the gap, and wanted to wait for Sylvinho's pass.
But as a member of Barcelona's offensive system, how could Sylvinho think highly of Sun Jihai.
When I was playing for Barcelona, I didn't even take Real Madrid players seriously. You are just a little Chinese defender. What's so scary about you?
Sylvinho didn't take Sun Jihai seriously at all. He kept pedaling in front of Sun Jihai and suddenly went inward!
The ball passed...the ball was lost!
Just when Sylvinho thought he could get past Sun Jihai, suddenly Sun Jihai stretched out his foot and poked the ball, and the ball instantly fell to Sun Jihai's feet.
"Manchester City's attack came to an abrupt end in front of Sun Jihai! Sun Jihai dribbled the ball and suddenly ran forward along the wing!"
“It’s Monaco time!”
