Chapter 309 Chapter [116] - Fighting Germany Again - [Single Chapter [-]D Update]

"Super Xu Fawei, Manchester City staged a miracle!!" England's "Sun" reported.

"Miracle in Manchester, created by Xu Zhou!!" England's "Mirror" reported! !

"Hamburg carelessly lost Jingzhou, Manchester City performed a miracle ferociously!!" Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" reported! !

"Manchester City made a miraculous comeback, and Hamburg made a wedding dress for others!!" Spain's "Aspen" reported! !

....................................

After Manchester City's miraculous elimination of Hamburg, major sports media around the world reported on the game.The information about this game is like snowflakes in winter floating on the world map. In this snowy curtain, there is a person whose name is widely circulated and his story is talked about, and that person is Xu Zhou!

Xu Zhou's performance in this game was quite eye-catching. He was almost the only one who pulled Manchester City back from the brink of despair and made Manchester City create a miracle! !

This game made Xu Zhou famous all over the world! !

When Xu Zhou became popular, Li Ning Company got excited.He hoped that Xu Zhou could shoot the endorsement commercial at this time, so that Li Ning would follow suit and become popular all over the world.The next day, people from Li Ning Company came to Manchester to discuss this matter with the top management of the Manchester City team and Xu Zhou himself.However, the news they got was impossible. After all, this stage is very important for Manchester City, not only in the league, but most importantly in the UEFA Cup! !

Now that they have advanced to the semi-finals, they are only one step away from the final. They will not allow the Manchester City team to make a slight mistake at this critical moment. Therefore, without any consideration, the Manchester City team and Xu Zhou rejected the request of Li Ning Company. !

After defeating the Hamburg team, Manchester City's opponent in the semi-finals also appeared, and that is the Werder Bremen team, which is also from Germany like Hamburg! !

The establishment of the Werder Bremen club was a very accidental thing. In 1898, a few students from a secondary school in Bremen won a football in a sports competition - football was still relatively unknown to people at that time - and they played it on a beach on the Weser River in the city.The joy brought by football prompted them to establish the "Werder" Bremen 1899 football club on February 2, 4 on the balcony of a restaurant. "Yunda" (German: Werder) refers to the beach where they played, opposite the Weser field today.Before them, there were actually some football clubs, but it was at the beginning of the development of football, so there were no competitions.

Werder Bremen is also considered a relatively successful club in Germany. They have a record of multiple Bundesliga titles and even won the European Cup Winners' Cup once.Since the establishment of the Bundesliga in the 1963/64 season, Werder Bremen only missed one season of the Bundesliga. They played in the Bundesliga in the 1980/81 season, but returned to the Bundesliga in only one season.

There are also many amazing coaches here, among which Rehagel is the most famous one.Werder Bremen have performed very well in the Bundesliga in recent seasons, but they are a little unstable! !

However, the strength of Thomas Schaff's team should not be underestimated! !

Schaff is the longest-serving current head coach in the Bundesliga, having joined Werder Bremen in May 1999.Before that, he played as a defender for Werder Bremen for 5 years, scoring 17 goals in 262 Bundesliga appearances.

The characteristic of Schaff's coaching is that he likes to analyze the opponent's strategy carefully, and dares to use new players boldly. Friedrich, Ismail, Rost, Ernst, Owomoyela, Magnin, Borowski, Frings, Ayrton, Bowman, Klashnic, Kristajic, and Umit are all figures that no one cares about in football. After Bremen was trained by Schaff, they were able to continuously break through themselves.Bremen has also gradually transformed from a middle and lower Bundesliga team into a regular visitor to the UEFA Cup.

In 2004, a season that Bremen fans will never forget.Borrell, Bowman, Kristajic, Listesch, Ernst, Miku, Borowski, Ayrton, Magnin, Ismael, and Dawn's streak made everyone feel that it is absolutely possible for Bremen to win the championship from the start of the league.Sure enough, Bremen was invincible this season. In the final stage of the league, they beat Bayern Munich 3-1 away, and they were crowned the Bundesliga champion ahead of schedule, and then won the German Cup in one fell swoop.But this season, Ayton, Listesh, Kristajic, and Magnin have transferred one after another, replaced by Klose and others.

Since 2004, Bremen has once again become a frequent visitor to the Champions League among the Bundesliga teams, and has entered the top sixteen of the European Champions Cup for four consecutive seasons. From a Bundesliga powerhouse, it has gradually entered the ranks of European giants.It also attracted the favor of B-WIN, a sponsor with strong financial resources, and signed a contract with Bremen. However, according to the regulations of the German Football Association, gaming companies are not allowed to participate in team advertising regulations, so we can only see the words WE-WIN.And with the strong financial resources, Bremen introduced Germany's future No. [-] central defender Mertesacker, Brazilian midfielder Diego, striker Sanogo, Rosenberg, old player Frings, new international Fritz, and the development of Bremen is also growing.

In the 08/09 season, although Bremen only ranked 10th in the league, they beat Hoffenheim 5:4 at home and Bayern Munich 5:2 away;

Such a team really can't make Manchester City be careful. In other words, this team is definitely much stronger than Manchester City's last opponent, Hamburg. This semi-final is definitely very difficult! !

虽然这是云达不莱梅第四次打进欧洲联盟杯半决赛，但他们还从未打进过联盟杯决赛。自从2008年11月4日在欧洲冠军联赛小组赛主场0-3不敌帕纳辛奈科斯以来，不莱梅在欧洲赛场连续4场主场不败。

The first round semi-final between Manchester City and Werder Bremen is the home of Werder Bremen, which is not a small pressure on Manchester City.Especially after experiencing such a thrilling quarter-final, the pressure they face is even greater! !

Before this game, the Manchester City team returned to the league and almost all came off the bench. Fortunately, they beat their opponents by one goal, maintained their advantage in the league, and continued to move towards the European arena next season! !

Through this league, the main players of the Manchester City team got a rare opportunity to rest and recuperate. From this, it can also be seen that the top management of the Manchester City team and the head coach Mark Hughes value the next game! !

I came to Bremen two days before the game to get used to the climate and the stadium.It's more about getting to know the opponent and preparing for the game well.

Before this game, the media of both sides made a very strong rendering of this game to increase the popularity of this game.Of course, Bremen's consecutive European home games are a very good topic. They want to see whether Bremen will continue to be unbeaten or Manchester City will end this record. This game is very interesting! !

On the day of the game, Bremen was crowded with people, so it was so lively! !

The match between Werder Bremen and Manchester City will take place at 19:17 p.m., but as early as [-]:[-] p.m., the fans of both sides began to mobilize. They all put on their national team jerseys, painted their faces with lottery, and drove their cars to Weser Arena, the home stadium of Werder Bremen!

The Weser Stadium (German: Weserstadion) is located on the right bank of the Weser River. It was built in 1909 and became the home stadium of Werder Bremen in 1930.The main stand was rebuilt in 1963 when the Bundesliga was established, and the entire reconstruction project was not completed until 1997.Currently it can accommodate 42,800 spectators.In December 2004, the Werder Bremen Museum (WUSEUM for short) opened in the stadium.

This is the place where Werder Bremen's glory gathers. The fans of Werder Bremen love this place crazily, and they also hope that they can get rid of Manchester City's opponent in this place of their glory today!

This is a UEFA Cup semi-final, so the attention it received was very high, and many, many fans flocked to the Weser Stadium.At 18:[-] in the afternoon, Werder Bremen's home stadium, Weser Stadium, was packed full of fans, and there were still many fans who did not enter the Weser Stadium! !

At 18 o'clock in the afternoon, the bus of the visiting team Manchester City also drove into the Weser Stadium.As soon as the Manchester City team bus arrived, the reporters frantically surrounded it, each pointing their weapons at the bus door.

Behind the reporters were Manchester City fans in sky blue jerseys, they roared wildly and cheered for the team.Their voices shook the sky, and the decibels they produced almost knocked down the old Weser Stadium.

Indeed, the Weser Stadium, home of the Bundesliga giants Werder Bremen, is indeed a little old.While Manchester City's players acclimatise, they also revere the stadium's rich history.Fortunately, the Weser Stadium will be remodeled in the next few years, with a budget of 6,000 million euros. The capacity of the stadium will be increased to 50,000. The east and west stands will be moved closer to the stadium lawn, and the roof will be extended to cover a larger area.

Of course, although this stadium is a bit old, the Werder Bremen club still repairs it frequently. It seems that this stadium is not very shabby.At least in Xu Zhou's heart, this stadium is still very good, because this stadium is more than ten times more popular than the Nikolai Goumas Stadium of AEK in Athens! !

Regardless of the thoughts in the head, the Manchester City players still have to get off the bus, enter the stadium, and play.They are not here for tourism, but for competitions!

The team's head coach, Mr. Mark Hughes, got off the bus first. As soon as the head coach appeared, the reporters frantically pressed the shutter in their hands and kept asking about the issues they cared about.

Mr. Mark Hughes seemed to feel a little cold all of a sudden, so he tightened his suit.Then he waved to the reporters, indicating to them that at this time, he didn't have time to answer questions.At the same time, he turned around and signaled his team members to get out of the car quickly.

"Xu... Xu... Xu..." When they saw a player getting off the bus, the fans at the scene collectively chanted Xu Zhou's name, and the atmosphere was quite heated.

"Dear Xu, can you continue to perform the miracle of the last round?"

"Mr. Xu, do you think you can score in this game? Do you think Manchester City can take away a victory from the Weser Stadium?"

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of Bremen's winning streak at home in the European war? Are you ready to leave disappointed?" Seeing Xu Zhou's appearance, the reporters rushed to ask their own questions.

Xu Zhou, who was the first to get off the bus, didn't have any expression on his face. Wearing a sports suit, he strode quickly towards the player tunnel as soon as he got off the bus.Behind him were the teammates of the Manchester City team. They didn't answer any questions from the reporters, and rushed into the player tunnel with cool faces!

After reaching the locker room through the player tunnel, Mark Hughes immediately asked the players to change their clothes and warm up on the court.When the Manchester City players appeared on the pitch, the Werder Bremen players had already appeared on the pitch, and they had been warming up on the pitch for a while.

Appearing in this stadium again, Xu Zhou had to squat down and feel the thickness of the turf of the stadium with his hands.Fortunately, the turf is still good. The players of the Manchester City team felt relieved. They all immediately entered the training state and warmed up!

Half an hour later, the Manchester City players were called back to the dressing room by the assistant coach.The players of the Werder Bremen team entered the locker room one step ahead of them. The two sides will prepare themselves in the last half an hour, because the game will officially start at 19:[-].

At this time, the Weser Stadium, Werder Bremen's home stadium, was already packed to the brim with people. Looking at the past, grandma's, it was all people.

Exceeded, the number of people is absolutely exceeded.I really didn't expect so many people to pour into the Weser Stadium! !

"Friends in the audience, the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final between Werder Bremen and Manchester City will be staged in half an hour, please stay tuned!" The announcer reminded the fans in the stadium through the loudspeaker.

In the locker rooms of both sides, the head coaches of the two teams are emphasizing their tactical arrangements for this game with their players, and cheering for their players.

The fans in the stadium waited with great anticipation for the arrival of 19 o'clock. There were not many Manchester City fans who came to the Weser Stadium in Bremen, Germany today, and there were less than 2000 people.They only accounted for more than half of a stand, which was nothing compared to the well-organized German fans.However, in terms of momentum, they are not lost at all to the more than 4 German fans.

In the fierce shouts of the fans of the two teams, the clock was close to 19 o'clock, and the players of both sides were ready in the player channel.The players of the two teams stood in two rows, followed behind the referee and were ready to play at any time!

"Hello, audience friends, the UEFA Cup semi-final first leg match between Werder Bremen and Manchester City is about to begin, players from both sides are welcome to come on stage!" the announcer shouted passionately through the loudspeaker.

"Manchester City...Manchester City...Manchester City..." The Manchester City team flag kept waving in the stands where the Manchester City fans were.

"Bremen...Bremen...Bremen..." The Bremen fans were not to be outdone, they all opened their voices and yelled wildly. They can't see such a small number of Manchester City fans being arrogant in the Weser Stadium. They are the masters here, and they will not just admit defeat.

Under the leadership of the referee, players from both sides came out, and Xu Zhouyin slowly walked into the field behind his teammates.The shouts in the ear grew louder and louder, making Xu Zhou's mood excited.Another game, another starting point, Xu Zhou started again!

Then there is the opening ceremony. The players of both sides stand on both sides of the referee and perform the ceremony of playing the national anthem.When the national anthem was played, Xu Zhou felt a throbbing in his heart, UEFA Cup lore-here I come!

After the national anthem was played, the captains of the two sides began to pick sides, while Xu Zhou and other players were doing the final warm-up before the start of the game.In the end, the Manchester City team drew a bad draw. Behind their half-court was the stand where the Bremen fans were. Now the Manchester City goalkeeper will have to bear the endless interference of the German fans!

While performing these ceremonies, the on-site announcer began to introduce the starting rosters of the players of both sides for the game to the fans. The starting rosters of the players of both sides are as follows:

Home team: Werder Bremen, head coach: Thomas Schaff, formation: 4-4-2

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Flute..." The referee blew his whistle, and the game officially started! !

Robinho, who was standing in the center of the court, touched the ball lightly, but he didn't run away, and Ireland, who was in the center circle, didn't touch the ball either.Werder Bremen, who had already rushed two steps forward, was taken aback when he saw the other party's actions, not understanding what was happening in front of them, and their movements also stopped, instead of rushing forward.

At this moment, a player rushed out from the right side of Manchester City frantically and quickly inserted into Werder Bremen's half.At this time, Ireland also quickly pushed the ball into Werder Bremen's half. The ball rolled to the feet of Xu Zhou, who started from the wing. Xu Zhou, who received the ball, quickly changed his direction and passed Frings, and then directly volleyed from a place about 36 meters away from the goal.

Wow……

The whole audience was shocked, and no one thought that Manchester City would give Werder Bremen a blow as soon as they came up.The Werder Bremen fans were taken aback, and of course the Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Weize was even more surprised! !

Seeing the ball flying in, Tim Wiese, who was tidying up the turf in front of his goal, was taken aback. He moved back in a panic, jumped up hastily, and held the ball.

Unfortunately, before he was completely vacated, the ball flew past them.This has always made Werder Bremen fans tremble! !

Fortunately, Xu Zhou's shot was a little too high, and it flew out of the baseline by touching the crossbar! !

call……

The fans of the Werder Bremen team exclaimed, sighing how dangerous it is...

Manchester City fans were disappointed, very disappointed! !Such a good opportunity did not score a goal, it is simply unreasonable! !

After calming down, Tim Weiser took the ball, and they were unwilling to admit defeat just like that.Just this all of a sudden can't scare their Werder Bremen team, they are the giants of the Bundesliga and the pride of German football! !

But as soon as they attacked once, they had to retreat to defend again, because the Manchester City team who came as a guest attacked too hard.No matter how you attack, they even rush to the vicinity of your penalty area.

Faced with this crazy momentum, the Werder Bremen team did not dare to attack. They were afraid that they would lose the ball before they broke the opponent's goal.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but those who fight are afraid of death.The Manchester City team is now barefoot and desperate.

"Press up! Press up!" Mark Hughes was still letting the defenders press forward, but the full backs were already on both sides of the opponent's penalty area. Does he still want to use the central defenders as midfielders?

Mark Hughes' tactics today were very aggressive. As soon as he came up, the Manchester City team went crazy like chicken blood.It seems that Mark Hughes hopes that Manchester City can score goals as soon as possible to ensure the orderly progress of the following games.At the same time, it is also to catch Werder Bremen by surprise, make the opponent tired of defense, and reduce the pressure on yourself! !

Since the start of the game, Manchester City's tactic has been very successful. The Werder Bremen team at home did not dare to press it out easily and was tired of defending! !

Xu Zhou quickly pressed forward from the wing. He wanted to put pressure on the opponent's defensive players. This is what the head coach asked him before the game! !

Elano passed the ball to him, and Xu Zhou glanced at Robinho behind him, but instead of catching the ball, he spread his legs apart, allowing the football to slip through between his legs!The Werder Bremen defender was caught off guard and let the ball pass.

Xu Zhou, who missed the football, turned around at the same time and ran to the other side.

Robinho just received the ball, and when he heard Xu Zhou calling for a pass, he swiped the ball across without hesitation.Xu Zhou happened to have just entered the penalty area, and he and Robinho tore apart Werder Bremen's defense with a two-on-one match. Now he is unmarked and is directly facing the goalkeeper!

This is Xu Zhou's decisive opportunity, and the rest is too simple for Xu Zhou.He didn't even look up to confirm the goalkeeper's position, and just pushed and shot!

Tim Wiese threw himself into the far corner, but his hand just barely touched the football. He could only watch helplessly as the football hit the net for the first time.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAOAAAAAAAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAOAEationationationationationationationationationation way wayationationationationationationationationsightatatatatatatatat same same endateatically.That loud voice hit the hearts of the Manchester City fans in front of the TV, and made the Manchester City fans excited! !

"Xu...Xu Zhou, less than [-] minutes into the game, Manchester City took the lead. Xu Zhou scored the goal, super Xu..." John Mortensen is crazy, really crazy! !

The fans of Manchester City were also crazy with him. The Manchester City stadium of about [-] people in the Weser Stadium went crazy instantly, turning this place into the home stadium of Manchester City.The fans of Werder Bremen were all stunned, obviously they still didn't understand what happened in front of them! !

"Damn it...Damn it..." Thomas Scharf roared from the sidelines, and ruthlessly blasted the drinking bottle beside him into the sky! !

Mark Hughes, on the other hand, was sitting on the coach's bench, chewing gum leisurely, as if he was very calm.However, if you look at how fiercely he is chewing gum, you will know how restless his heart is at this moment! !

[-]:[-], Manchester City lead!

Mesut Auris dribbled the ball down the wing. He was quick, but someone was faster than him.

Bridge caught up from the other side like lightning, and then made a sliding tackle. Mesut Auris was caught off guard, and even dribbled the ball and fell out of the baseline.

The audience screamed, and the referee rushed up and gave Bridge a yellow card.

Mark Hughes turned around and smiled at his assistant, "This kid didn't even get a red card!"

The assistant coach of the Manchester City team was very nervous just now. He was afraid that the referee would give a red card, and that would be the end of it.But look at Mark Hughes, he seems very satisfied.

Mesut Auris was very angry that the referee only showed a yellow card, but the referee ignored him, and the opposing full-back was still staring at him and laughing, which was clearly a mockery!

Mesut Auris was enraged.

After that, he chose to break through from Bridge several times in a row, but even if Bridge didn't foul, he didn't take advantage of it. He only succeeded once in four breakthroughs, and he didn't finally pass the ball.This England full-back's turning speed is really fast and his strength is good, which is really difficult to deal with.

This time his dribble was stopped by Bridge, who then kicked Bellamy ahead.

When Bellamy was in the Welsh National Youth Team, he was famous for his speed and good dribbling breakthrough.After receiving Bridge's pass, he dribbled the ball along the sideline. Someone wanted to come up to stop him, but unfortunately he rushed over with speed.

But he did not go directly to the bottom, but crossed to Ireland.

Werder Bremen's defensive midfielder Frings wanted to come up and interfere with Ireland to get the ball, but Ireland didn't mean to get the ball. He flicked his right ankle, and the football changed direction suddenly at him, and was bounced to the no-man's land on the right side of the penalty area.

The Werder Bremen defenders hadn't had time to pass. They thought that Ireland would pass Robinho and Elano in the middle. Now it was too late to turn around and rush.

He fired a powerful shot from about a fifty-degree angle and it went straight into the Werder Bremen goal.

The goalkeeper of Werder Bremen, Tim Wieser, was well-prepared this time, and directly hugged Xu Zhou's powerful shot firmly in his arms, which made the Bremen fans at the scene heave a sigh of relief.The Werder Bremen fans at the scene gave their goalkeeper a fiery applause. In the applause, the Werder Bremen team began to fight back.

But their attack ran into trouble in midfield.Diego met Harman's tenacious defense in the midfield. Neither of them is easy to mess with. One is Werder Bremen's midfield engine, and the other is Manchester City's midfield meat grinder.

Diego tried to cheat Harman away with fake moves, but Manchester City's midfield meat grinder was unmoved, and Diego changed to rely on speed to force a breakthrough.

As soon as he started, Harman turned around and stuck up, making him unable to get up to speed.

Diego felt awkward, so he had to make an emergency stop, turned around and passed the ball to Frings.

Frings passes the ball to Claudio Pizarro, the Werder Bremen striker grabs the ball with his head outside the box and shoots from long distance!

The football flew towards the goal accompanied by huge cheers from the fans.

The ball was played suddenly, Ji Wen had no choice but to punch the football out of the bottom line in a hurry.Werder Bremen took their first corner of the game.

Diego took the penalty, and the football was cleared by Kompany with a header, but it immediately landed at the feet of Frings. He made a move to shoot, tricked Elano into taking off to block, but dunked the ball and passed it to Mesut Rios in the middle.

Mesut Rios flicked his right foot, and then shot with his foot. The football hit Michael Richards' calf. There was a change of line, but fortunately, the angle of refraction was too large, and it flew directly out of the baseline.

Another corner kick.

"Werder Bremen's momentum in this period is astonishing, with two consecutive long-range shots! Two consecutive corner kicks! The leading Manchester City team is struggling to cope. The strength of these two pairs is really strong!" ESPN commentator said with emotion.

Mark Hughes stood on the sidelines, staring at the field with his mouth open.He was worried about the team's defense. If he lost the ball at this time, his plan would be messed up.

Thomas Schaaf was still in a suit and leather shoes, standing gracefully on the sidelines, Werder Bremen dominated the field, but there was no joy on his face.

"Manchester City is like a spring. The harder you press it, the stronger it will rebound." This is what Hamburg coach Mark Joel said after the last round of the league.With a large lead, his team was overturned at home by the mighty Manchester City, creating a miracle.

Thomas Schaff is now worried about Manchester City's rebound at any time, not only that, the opponent is now leading by one goal! !

Mesut Auris got the ball on the right, he circled Bellamy and faced Bridge's defense.

Bridge looked very excited, and he shouted: "Come on! Baby! Come on, let me shovel you, Mesut!"

Mesut Auris made a move to break through, and Bridge immediately took a step back—with such a rampant mouth, Bridge was still very psychologically stressed when facing the opponent. After all, the opponent had the initiative and easily shook off the fast Bellamy. Bridge was very careful, paying attention to Mesut Auris' every move!

Mesut Auris repeated the fake action just now, and Bridge took another step back.

Mesut Auris smiled as he passed the ball to Diego in the middle.

Bridge felt that he had been fooled, and he yelled in dissatisfaction: "My god! You can kill me, you can't be humiliated! If you have the ability, you can fight me one-on-one!"

As soon as he finished shouting, Diego passed the football back to Mesut Auris.He froze for a moment: "Oh, so fast?!"

Mesut Auris approached Bridge with the ball, and then suddenly cut in. Bridge was unambiguous and immediately stuck his body up.

But Mesut Auris cut inside was a fake. He flicked the football out with his right foot, then changed direction suddenly, and rushed past Bridge with his speed!

"Oh... I was careless..." Bridge regretted it! !

"Beautiful change of direction! Mesut Rios is ready to cross!" ESPN's commentator shouted.

"It's not over yet!"

Just as the football kicked out, another foot stretched out from behind and stomped the ball out of the bottom line!

Bridge half-lyed on the ground, and smiled at Mesut Auris on the side: "Boy, you are still young."

Werder Bremen's third corner and Manchester City had almost nothing but a goal.

Diego took the corner kick, but the ball was cleared by Kompany again. The ball flew into Werder Bremen's half. Fortunately, the ball was controlled by them, and there was no chance for Manchester City to counterattack! !

Frings dribbled the ball in. He was looking for an opportunity to pass the ball, but Harman shoveled it from the side and lost the ball.

Elano came back to get the ball, how could Frings give up so easily?He got up and threw himself on Elano again.

But Elano made a light Marseille turn and tricked Frings down.There was a huge scream from the Manchester City fans.Every time Elano, the Brazilian, pulls off this entertaining trick, they scream to express their inner madness.

Elano, who turned around, was facing the attacking direction, but he did not continue to dribble.Mark Hughes told him that in the Premier League, quick offensive and defensive transitions are the key to winning. This is also the biggest magic weapon that the Premier League teams trust in the European battle! !

He caught a glimpse of Xu Zhou in front of him looking back at him, and passed the ball with one kick.

As soon as he passed the ball, Diego leaned up behind him.

Xu Zhou turned when he received the ball, and he is now facing the attacking direction.

Standing in front of him was the A Werder Bremen defense line consisting of four defenders.

The first to force up is Naldo.

Xu Zhou didn't talk nonsense with him, he slammed the ball into the middle, and then accelerated towards it. Poor Naldo's speed was not Xu Zhou's opponent at all, and he was already left behind by Xu Zhou when he turned around, and beside him were Mesut Auris, who returned to defense at high speed, and Frings, who never gave up.

There were interceptions in front and pursuers in the back. They wanted to trap Xu Zhou to death in the encirclement.

Mertesacker is at the front line.

Xu Zhou didn't slow down, but he made a "cycling" movement when he approached Mertesacker.Xu Zhou, who has amazing acceleration, did this movement very realistically, and even the experienced Mertesacker also swayed from side to side.

Xu Zhou saw Mertesacker's center of gravity shifted to the inside, flicked the football to the outside, and accelerated to rush over!

the second!The cheers of Manchester City fans even overwhelmed the exclamation of Werder Bremen fans.

Now it's Fritz's turn.

When Xu Zhou was approaching Fritz, he suddenly stepped on the ball and made an emergency stop, and then swung the football outward, preparing to speed up the breakthrough.

Fritz was stunned for a moment by Xu Zhou's sudden stop and acceleration, but his second reaction was quick. He stretched out his long legs and got stuck between the ball and Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou didn't expect Fritz to be able to move, so he stumbled and fell out.

"beep!"

The referee whistled and he ran to the scene of the accident.Then he raised his right hand high, signaling a defensive foul by the Werder Bremen defender, and Manchester City's free kick.

Xu Zhou knelt on the ground and raised his hands helplessly.Fritz didn't foul this ball, so he was single-handedly.However, in the face of this situation, how many defenders will not foul?

Manchester City fans booed loudly as they protested against the referee for not giving Fritz a card.

Mark Hughes was even more annoyed than Xu Zhou. He saw Xu Zhou being tripped by Fritz, grabbed his hair angrily, and rushed to the door of the fourth official: "Damn it! You can get a card for this foul! That was a beautiful breakthrough!"

"A wonderful long-distance attack! Xu Zhou's long-distance attack is simply too wonderful, but it seems that all beautiful things will be envied by people, and finally destroyed in the hands of bad people. Now, Xu Zhou was firmly pressed to the ground by Fritz. It is really a valuable foul!" ESPN commentator sighed.

Ireland stepped forward to pull Xu Zhou up, and did not forget to pat Xu Zhou on the shoulder to praise him for his wonderful breakthrough.The Werder Bremen people are busy lining up the wall.

The ball is on the left side of the penalty area, close to the penalty area line, about 20 meters away from the goal, very close.All Bremen players know how powerful Xu Zhou's free kick is, and they dare not be careless.

Sure enough, Xu Zhou stood in front of the ball.

"Although Fritz stopped Xu Zhou with a foul, Manchester City still has a chance to score! Xu Zhou will take the free kick he created himself!" ESPN's nagging old woman continued nagging.

Already one goal behind, Werder Bremen can't make any more mistakes, this time they are more careful.

"Left! Go a little further to the left! Completely block the near corner!" Tim Weiser stood on the wall.Bremen's human wall is also not honest, while adjusting the position, while rubbing forward.

Naturally, the referee would not allow such a thing to happen, he ordered the wall to retreat and was not allowed to come up again.

Xu Zhou grabbed Elano who was beside him.

"Don't go, Elano. You kick the ball." He pointed to the football in front of him.

Elano was a little surprised, he pointed to himself: "Me?"

Xu Zhou nodded.

In fact, before Xu Zhou came to Manchester City, Elano was the number one free kicker in the team, and his free kick skill is also very high.It's just that after Xu Zhou came, Elano's ability in this aspect was completely covered up by Xu Zhou, and Elano hadn't taken a free kick for a long time, so that everyone forgot that Elano still has this skill! !

"The ball is in your hands, I'll cover it!!" Xu Zhou said lightly.

Elano had to stand in front of the ball.

All the human walls stood up according to the referee's intention, and the referee stepped back to signal that Manchester City could kick.

Xu Zhou was standing next to Elano. Tim Weiser and the wall only saw him, but they didn't see Elano next to him.

When the referee blew his whistle, Xu Zhou leaned forward but didn't move his footsteps. He smiled and looked at the wall and jumped up in surprise, but he didn't see the ball passing by. He was very satisfied with this.

Elano waited until the wall began to fall before taking a step. He took two steps to run up, and then rubbed the middle and lower part of the football with one kick.

The football just went around the falling wall, and then got into the goal against the near post!

Although Tim Weize was agile and flew out, he was still one step too late, and he was also shaken by Xu Zhou.Moreover, Elano's ball was too tricky, hitting the net close to the near post, while others were at the far post, how could there be time?
