Chapter 305 Chapter [112] - Hamburg, Germany - [Single chapter update]

"Flute..." Seeing that everyone was getting ready, the referee blew the penalty whistle! !

Nasri and Arshavin frantically started, and quickly rushed towards the ball. The Manchester City crowd became restless, and the eyes of all the fans in the stadium widened! !

"It's Nasri!" Joe Hart shouted in his heart!

Because Nasri has already touched the ball, Joe Hart is ready to make a save! !

However, an astonishing scene appeared. Nasri who touched the ball did not shoot, but knocked the ball back, and Joe Hart in front of the goal was shaken! !

Fabregas, who came in behind at high speed, hit the ball hard!

"Bang!!"

The ball passed through the Manchester City wall like a fired shell, and also passed through Joe Hart's defense.

Then he quickly crossed the bottom line and smashed hard on the billboard! !

what……

Arsenal fans are disappointed! ! !

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the intermission with a [-]:[-] result! !

Entering halftime with a one-to-one score, both sides are quite satisfied.But on the way into the locker room, Mark Hughes and Wenger both looked expressionless. I don't know what they were thinking! !

When players from both sides enter the locker room, the stage of the stadium has completely become a fan's world.During the [-] minutes of halftime, fans from both sides cheered frantically for the team in the stadium to express their love for the team.And at this time, players from both sides were listening to the head coach's tactical arrangements in the locker room!

The [-] minutes in halftime passed quickly, and the second half of the game officially began!

"Flute..." With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began.In the second half, Arsenal kicked off first. Bendtner gave the ball to Fabregas, and Fabregas passed the ball to Van Persie.After receiving the ball, Van Persie made a long pass directly and found Bendtner who plugged in.

At this time, the players of the Manchester City team were shocked. They did not expect that the Arsenal team would launch their first attack so quickly.Therefore, they can only watch Bendtner easily stop the ball, then easily enter the penalty area, and shoot directly in front of the goalkeeper.

With a loud sound of "bang...", Bendtner's right foot made close contact with the ball, and then the ball rushed towards the goal with lightning speed.

Less than a minute into the second half, Arsenal launched their first attack and had their first shot. The Arsenal fans on the sidelines immediately cheered. They were all excited and looked at the trajectory of the ball with their fiery eyes full of expectation.

"Shoot... the goal..." The commentator of the London media elongated his voice, as if his voice would not stop if the ball kept going.

At the same time that Bentner raised his feet, Joe Hart jumped up and rushed towards the ball flying towards the goal. His body stretched out, like an eagle soaring high, how beautiful and intoxicating it is.

And with Joe Hart's rising body, only the fiery hearts sounded, thump...thump...thump...the heartbeats of tens of thousands of people in the audience sounded at the same frequency, what a spectacular scene it must have been!

"Bang..." The heartbeats of all the fans suddenly stopped, and it took three seconds, a full three seconds, for their hearts to recover.Because, the ball was thrown by Joe Hart who jumped up!

"Wow..." A strong sigh echoed in the huge Emirates Stadium, revealing boundless regret.

"Damn it!" Wenger on the sidelines waved his fist bitterly, and then glanced at the opponent's goal in disappointment.

Cesc Fabregas tossed the ball around in the midfield, hoping to draw the City defenders out, but it was clearly unsuccessful.After a brief trial, the Arsenal players also clearly knew Manchester City's tactics.Therefore, the Arsenal team launched a fierce attack. To be honest, in fact, this is where the game really started.

After receiving the pass from Cesc Fabregas, Nasri made a direct pass and gave the ball to Van Persie who was going forward. As soon as Van Persie caught the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball forward.The former genius is now growing well. He has now replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy as the original striker of the Dutch national team. In the Dutch national team, his position is obviously irreplaceable.Arsenal also need his instigation and offense, and for opponents, he is obviously difficult to guard against.Obviously, Bridge and Bellamy of Manchester City couldn't stop Van Persie's impact at all. At the same time, Chrissy also rushed up, and the two smashed Manchester City's left defense to pieces.

Shaking the two away, Van Persie went straight into the penalty area.Manchester City's central defender Dunn pushed out quickly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the skilled Van Persie picked up the ball gently, over the head of Manchester City's central defender Dunn, and flew directly to the head of Danish striker Bendtner who had just taken off.Spotting the ball, the Dane shook his head fiercely and smashed the ball to the back corner of the goal. The goalkeeper who was in the middle of the goal and on the right had no chance at all.

The ball flew straight to the back corner of the goal, and when it was about to fly into the goal, a figure flashed past.Xu Zhouchong jumped up, pushed the ball over the crossbar, and flew out of the baseline! !

"Huh..." The whole Manchester City team breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Zhou's figure grew taller in their hearts.

It is rare to see Xu Zhou appearing in this position to defend. No one thought that when the team was most critical, it was him, an offensive player who was not good at defending, who came to save the team. The Manchester City fans at the scene gave their hero applause!

Corner kick, Arsenal did not give Manchester City a chance to breathe, Cesc Fabregas put the ball quickly, ready to kick-off.Manchester City's penalty area became tense again, especially Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart. Bendtner's attack just now made him extremely nervous, so this time Joe Hart became even more nervous. He shouted loudly and directed the direct players how to defend.

"Flute..." The sharp whistle sounded like a reminder, and the Manchester City team's penalty area became chaotic.Cesc Fabregas, with a quick run-up, then slammed the ball, and the ball flew into the penalty area quickly.Xu Zhou from the previous point jumped high, but his poor bounce was no match for the fierce Danish kid at all.The Danish striker behind Xu Zhou jumped high, overwhelmed Xu Zhou, shook his head fiercely, and smashed the ball towards the near corner of the goal.

"Bang..." There was a muffled sound that made everyone in the Emirates Stadium tremble! !

The ball hit the crossbar fiercely, and then bounced off the baseline. The scene was chaotic, and the Arsenal fans sighed and felt so lost! !

At this time, Mark Hughes was anxiously walking back and forth on the sidelines.At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal's attack was too fierce, almost overwhelming Manchester City with no chance to breathe. At this time, Manchester City must grit their teeth and persist. If they persist, they will not be far away from victory.However, now that Arsenal are attacking so fiercely, Mark Hughes is also beating drums in his heart! !

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas took the ball and turned around to organize an attack, but suddenly a blue shadow flashed in front of Fabregas who had just turned around, and the ball was cut off by Ireland.

After stealing the ball, Ireland directly crossed the ball in a straight line and passed the ball to Robinho who had just started.In this way, Robinho crossed the opponent's line of defense, single-handedly!This surprised the players of the Arsenal team. They didn't expect the opponent's movements to be so fast.

Robinho took the ball forward at high speed, behind him the Arsenal players were chasing quickly, and in front of him Almunia was rushing out.Seeing this situation, Robinho raised his right foot lightly, and the ball flew high above Almunia's head, then fell quickly and flew towards the goal.

Mark Hughes suddenly jumped up on the sidelines, and then quickly ran to the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the flying ball.It seems that Mark Hughes attaches great importance to the victory of this game.

The Manchester City fans in the stands also widened their eyes one by one, raised their hands high one by one, bounced up from their seats one by one, and they were looking forward to the moment when the ball rolled into the goal.

"Shooting..." John Mortensen, the commentator of BBC Radio, raised his voice, as if he would never give up until the whole world knew about it.

"Wow... Huh..." There was a sound of sighs in the stadium, which also showed how strong the regret of the fans was.

The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and landed on the net. Robinho shook his head fiercely, looked at the opponent's goal, and then ran back.

Hey, it's a pity that the goal wasn't scored, but at least Manchester City's offensive has started, so it's a good game now, isn't it!

"Shoot..." The commentator of the London Sports Channel has shouted countless times, but the ball still stubbornly does not go into the net, and the Arsenal fans also stand anxiously on the sidelines, and from time to time they burst into cries of regret.

"Van Persie's long-range shot... Oh, damn it! The ball hit the post and rolled out of the baseline!" The commentator of the London Sports Channel waved his fist resentfully, obviously he was very upset.

"Oh, look at Van Persie... Van Persie got the ball again... Oh, the other side jumped up, changed direction, one changed direction, Van Persie passed, oh two, Van Persie passed two people, the third, oh the third one also passed. Kompany blocked, Van Persie was about to change direction and break through. The fans on the sidelines were chanting fourth, fourth! Oh, Van Persie flicked his right foot lightly, and the ball passed into the penalty area. There is Walcott!" Stand up, "Walcott has received the ball, the opponent's defender is rushing here, and Joe Hart has also started. Shot... Walcott shot hard... The ball flew to the dead corner of the goal... Oh, damn, damn Joe Hart, he blocked the ball again!"

"Wow..." There was another strong sigh at the scene.

"Oh, it's not good. Manchester City counterattacked. Xu Zhou... The ball blocked by Joe Hart came to the feet of the Italian Chinese boy, and he started... Oh, my God, is he a yellow Bolt? I think he came to the wrong place. He should go to the [-]-meter arena, because that's where he should be... Oh, damn it, the speed of a monster..." The live commentator and fans of the London Sports Channel gritted their teeth with hatred for Xu Zhou, because Xu Zhou was at this time It has come to the frontier of the restricted area.

"Damn, he went into the box, oh, our great central defender Gallas went up, our goalkeeper Almunia blocked the close corner, oh damn, that kid was a coward, he ignored the challenge of our great defender and goalkeeper, he passed the ball, the ball went past Gallas. But don't worry, because we still have Toure, our defense, oh... the ball went past Toure... oh, Bellamy stepped into the box, stepped on the goal... shot... ...Oh, our great goalkeeper, Almunia, it's Almunia... He miraculously saves the ball...Oh, thank our goalkeeper..." Seeing the opponent's goal kick, the commentator of the London Sports Channel quickly grabbed the mineral water and drank it. It seems that this commentator is not ordinary people.

"Oh, Xu Zhou... Xu Zhou swayed past the opponent's full-back. He cut inside. Xu Zhou once again slid past the opponent's central defender who blocked the defense. He kicked and hit the goal... SHOOT..." BBC radio commentator John Mortensen shouted loudly.

"Wow..." There was a strong sigh on the court, but the deep regret was not expressed at all!

"Oh... the ball hit the post again and flew out of the bottom line. It seems that Xu Zhou's luck is not very good today! Oh, the offensive and defensive power of the game has changed hands. Today's game is really fierce!" Mark Lawrence said excitedly.

Bellamy dribbled the ball a little further and passed it to Ireland in front.As soon as Ireland received the ball, the opponent's midfielder rushed up, and Ireland had to pass the ball back.Elano came up to catch the ball, and then passed the ball to the right wing with a through pass.

Xu Zhou received the ball easily. Facing the opponent's defender, Xu Zhou flicked the ball with his right foot, and the ball rolled out.At this time, Ireland quickly appeared in front of the ball and kicked straight at the ball. The ball instantly turned into a white light and flew towards the goal.

"Bang..." The ball actually hit the opponent's defender on the way, oh no, it should be the opponent's defender flying to block the hole of the gun, blocking the ball that Ireland was bound to score out of the goal.However, the guard who blocked the ball with his body was not a big deal. It seemed that this kid's body was really strong.

Toure, this black boy is really not ordinary and tough, after all, after being hit so hard, he still looks like a normal person, he is simply a monster! !

However, Arsenal's crisis has not yet been resolved, because the bounced ball fell to Elano's feet, and the opposing defenders quickly posted it.Elano quickly passed the ball to the side, and the ball came to Xu Zhou's feet again.

At this time, Fabregas quickly appeared in front of Xu Zhou. Because of the emergency, Fabregas and his teammates switched defenses.Xu Zhou looked at Fabregas in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, showing a charming smile.In this game, he hasn't played against Cesc Fabregas yet.Cesc Fabregas is currently the best young player in the Premier League, and he is even a young player who has stepped into the ranks of superstars. Many media now compare Xu Zhou and Fabregas. Xu Zhou is quite excited to be able to play against such a player!

Xu Zhou's feet kept swinging the ball, and Xu Zhou's body also swayed rapidly, as if looking for an opportunity to break through.

Fabregas was also very excited standing in front of Xu Zhou. In his ears, he heard people comparing himself with the kid in front of him many times, which made Fabregas have a strong interest in Xu Zhou.However, he understands that now is not the time to be excited.Fabregas quickly lowered his body and fixed his eyes on Xu Zhou's feet, as if he had fixed the ball in his eyes.

This is the first confrontation between the two in this game, which makes the fans in the stadium and in front of the TV very excited. They have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now it is finally here.

Seeing Cesc Fabregas's concentration, Xu Zhou's smile became brighter.However, Xu Zhou was very anxious in his heart. Seeing that a good opportunity was lost, could he not be in a hurry?But now it seems that the opponent's defense has not yet broken out of the chaos.Xu Zhou shook his body quickly. He didn't care when he saw that Fabregas was not deceived.Suddenly, his right foot flicked the ball out, and then, his right foot danced quickly, and the ball left his foot and flew out.

Fabregas was shocked, he quickly stretched his legs to block the ball, his reaction was quick, but unfortunately his feet were not long enough, so he couldn't touch the ball, he could only watch the ball fly past him.

Xu Zhou passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area with a 45-degree oblique pass, where Ireland was already waiting there. As soon as the ball came, Ireland easily caught the ball, and then quickly raised his foot to shoot.

The goalkeeper who was rushing towards the goal did not expect the opponent to hit the goal directly, so he had to save hastily.At this time, the ball quickly passed him and flew towards the goal behind her. All the Arsenal fans on the scene were stunned! !

The ball passed through Almunia quickly, and also crossed the baseline. The ball hit the right post and flew out of the baseline. Manchester City missed another great opportunity! !

"Oh, Cesc Fabregas slid past the opponent's defender and broke into the penalty area. He kicked. Oh no, he crossed the ball! Shot... It was Bendtner again, oh, the amazing Joe Hart, he actually saved the ball from such a short distance. Is there really a spirit possessed at this moment? The amazing Joe Hart, his reaction is really too sensitive. Hey, amazing, amazing..." John Mortensen, a BBC radio commentator, was full of praise for Joe Hart's sensitive reaction. .

"Here it is again, it's Cesc Fabregas again. Fabregas made a long pass and passed the ball to his teammate Arshavin on the wing. Oh, he was not offside, he cut inside the penalty area, and hit the goal... Oh, the ball went in, did the ball go in?" The commentator of the local sports channel in London turned to look at his partner in doubt, and his partner shook his head to express his ignorance.The commentator of the local sports channel in London turned his head away again, looked at the tumbling net with a puzzled expression on his face, "Oh, it turned out that the ball was on the side net! The goal was missed, and the score was still 1:1. The two sides drew."

"Oh, it's him again, it's Cesc Fabregas again, Fabregas picks a pass, Walcott directly faces the goalkeeper, oh, Walcott didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, he kicked his right foot and shot directly, the ball was like a cannonball fired, and the wind slammed into the goal. It seems that the ball is bound to go in. Oh, the ball passed the goalkeeper, the ball flew into the goal... oh no, the ball was hooked by Kompany on the goal line, oh, Manchester City The team survived a catastrophe. It seems that Arsenal is very unlucky today!" John Mortensen shouted excitedly, it has been a long time, a long time, John Mortensen has not commented on such an exciting game for a long time, it is simply too exciting!

"Oh, Cesc Fabregas is here again. He switched to the wing this time. He quickly broke through and passed the ball. In the middle, Bendtner jumped high and hit the goal with a powerful head hammer. The ball flew through the sky like a meteor... Oh, God, it's Joe Hart again, the goalkeeper of Manchester City. He once again blocked Bendtner's goal. The magical goalkeeper..." John Mortensen said sincerely, "Today's Joe. Hart is amazing!"

Arsenal's offense has reached a peak at this time, and Manchester City can only be exhausted.At this time, Arsenal's attack came again.

Midfield, or midfield.Fabregas, or Fabregas! !

Fabregas had the ball in midfield, he looked up at the situation in front of him, and was about to pass the ball.However, at this moment, a foot stretched out from behind him.

Elano, it's Elano.He steals the ball, he steals it.Immediately after Elano steals the ball, he sends a ground ball, and the ball quickly passes through Arsenal's defense line. Xu Zhou, who is on the wing, is like a rocket, rushing out from the side, passing Arsenal's defense, and chasing the ball! !

Oh, one-handed! !

Mark Hughes bounced off the coach's bench in an instant, rushed to the sidelines frantically, his eyes fixed on the field, the figure running, the figure carrying the hopes of all Manchester City people! !

Inside the Emirates Stadium, Manchester City fans frantically jumped up from their seats, all of them raised their hands high, stretched their necks, and widened their eyes, waiting for a miracle to come!

The Arsenal fans and Wenger shrank at the same time, as if their hearts had been severely pumped!

Almunia rushed out frantically! !

Arsenal's defenders are frantically chasing back! !

Xu Zhou, rush to the ball! !

While running at high speed, he swung his legs wildly and pumped towards the ball! !

"Oh!"

The ball flew towards the goal like a white light! !

"Shoot..." BBC commentator John Mortensen raised his voice, as if he would not let the world know about it.

"Wow... Huh..." There was a sound of sighs in the stadium, which also showed how strong the regret of the fans was.

The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.Everyone at the scene sighed, Xu Zhou shook his head fiercely, looked at the opponent's goal again, and then ran back.

Xu Zhou broke through at a high speed on the sidewalk, which made people see the scene of the blue F1 car racing on the field. The few Manchester City fans at the scene shouted Xu Zhou's name loudly, which made Xu Zhou even more powerful.

Xu Zhouhuang drove his opponent away, inserted into the penalty area, and took a shot.This surprised the opposing players, but what surprised them even more was that Xu Zhou didn't shoot directly, but made a fake move, and then passed the ball to the middle.Robinho in the middle looked at the ball and slammed it towards the ball. Like a bolt of lightning, the ball hit Arsenal's goal.

The Arsenal players and fans were surprised, but fortunately the ball missed the goal!

After Xu Zhou received the ball from Elano, he handed the ball directly to Ireland.After Ireland received the ball, he did not stop the ball and handed the ball directly to Xu Zhou.Two to one, Xu Zhou entered the opponent's penalty area through a two to one.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, Xu Zhou took the ball directly to the back point, which surprised the Arsenal players because there was Bellamy there.

Facing the incoming ball, Bellamy quickly turned his head white and smashed the ball towards the opponent's goal.

There was another bang, the ball hit the crossbar of the goal and flew out of the baseline, and Arsenal escaped again.

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the game.The fans on both sides were stunned when they heard the whistle. It turned out that the game was over, and they hadn't noticed anything yet.It can only be said that the game was too tense, so the fans of both sides did not notice it!

Arsenal and Manchester City drew one to one at home. Although this result made both sides not very satisfied, at least it can be accepted! !

After this game, Manchester City will start their UEFA Cup journey again! !

As early as the evening of March 3, BJ time, UEFA held the draw ceremony for the UEFA Cup for the 20-2008 season at the headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. As a result, the two teams from France and Ukraine had a full-scale exchange of fire, Marseille against Shakhtar, and Dynamo Kiev against Schalke 2009.Manchester City will start a strong dialogue with Hamburg, while Udinese will play Werder Bremen.

The eight teams that reached the quarter-finals are Shakhtar Donetsk, Dynamo Kiev, Schalke 1, Marseille, Hamburg, Werder Bremen, Manchester City and Udinese. Among them, Ukraine has two teams, Germany has three teams, and France, Italy and England have one team each.The defending champion Zenit St. Petersburg was eliminated by Udinese in the 8/[-] finals, so the last event named after the "UEFA Cup" will definitely have no defending champion.

And this time the top eight teams have never won a championship in the past, so this season will definitely produce a new champion.After the lottery, the Bundesliga Hamburg team will face the Premier League representative Manchester City in the quarter-finals. Schalke 1 and Kiev Dynamo will be drawn together. Another Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk will face Ligue 4 Marseille. Serie A Udinese will compete with Bundesliga Werder Bremen for another semi-final seat.

Then UEFA also conducted a draw for the semi-finals. The winners of the Ukrainian teams and their opponents will compete for a final seat, while the winners of Udinese VS Bremen and Hamburg VS Manchester City will enter the other half.

And this time Manchester City's opponent is Hamburg.

On September 1887, 9, there was a liberal arts secondary professional school named Matthias Claudius in Hamburg.A group of middle school students from Hamburg and Vanzbeck are active in the school. They spontaneously created a sports club named German Goddess, which is the predecessor of the famous Hamburg Football Club in Germany. On June 29, 1919, Hamburg Football Club, founded in 6, and Falke Football Club, founded in 1, merged into the German Goddess Club, and finally named Hamburg Sports Club (HSV).

Since the establishment of the Hamburg team, until 1963 when Germany implemented the first professional football league, it has always dominated the North German football field.At that time, the former Federal German Football Association divided the highest-level football competition into five regions according to the region, and North Germany, where the Hamburg team is located, was counted as one of them.From the early 5s to the 30-1947 season, the Hamburg team won 1948 championships in the 16 regional first division leagues, which shows its strength.In the national league, it also won the national championship in 15 and 1922.1923.1928.Since 1960, it has also won the first division championship in 1963, 1979.1982 and 1983.In addition, the Hamburg team also won the FA Cup three times in 1963.1976 and 1987. In the past 34 years, the Hamburg team has never been relegated. They have participated in a total of 1186 games in the first division, including 496 wins, 318 draws, and 372 losses.

在国际比赛中，汉堡队在1983年5月25日靠菲利克斯.马加特的黄金入球以1比0击败尤文图斯队，从雅典捧回欧洲冠军杯。1977年，汉堡队以2比0战胜安德莱赫特队，赢得了欧洲优胜者杯。

Moreover, Hamburg is the only team in the Bundesliga that has not been relegated!

After defeating Arsenal in London City last Saturday, Manchester City's soldiers will go to Germany in the middle of the week-the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals will start at the Northern Bank Arena. Manchester City's opponent is the Bundesliga powerhouse Hamburg.

Manchester City and Hamburg met in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, which undoubtedly became the most watched battle of this round.The current Manchester City midfielders Kompany and De Jong were both introduced from Hamburg (the latter was not selected for the European squad), and Hamburg coach Martin Jol (fired by Tottenham in October 1) will also return to England in the second round, but the team led by the old rival Hughes is no longer Blackburn.

Martin Jol (Martin-Jol, January 1956, 1 -), Dutch football coach and former football player.He has coached Ajax Football Club in the Eredivisie, Hamburg Football Club in the Bundesliga and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in the Premier League.As a player, he served as a midfielder and played more than 16 games at home and abroad. His career footprints spread throughout the Netherlands, Germany and England. He also played 400 games for the Dutch national team.

52-year-old Martin Jol has coached Tottenham, Hamburg, Ajax and other teams. He is known for being good at discovering players in the transfer market. During his coaching at Tottenham, he once urged Berbatov not to go to Manchester United and let Berba stay in Tottenham for one more year.Unearthed many new stars while coaching Ajax and Hamburg.

Whether it is Manchester City or Hamburg, the road to the quarter-finals for both sides is exactly the same.In the quarter-finals, Manchester City defeated Aalborg in both rounds and advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup with a huge advantage.Therefore, the two teams met in the quarter-finals, and both sides had to admit bad luck.

During the summer warm-up this season, Manchester City once lost a small goal to their opponents.In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1, Manchester City was also eliminated by another German team Borussia.Hughes had previously won the Cup Winners Cup with Manchester United in 1979 and Chelsea in 1, but both as players.Hughes did not deny that the UEFA Cup will be Manchester City's first goal: "Many people believe that we should be based on the Premier League, but I think the success of the cup can also promote the performance of the league. The league stage is full of competition everywhere, and the challenges we face every step of the way. After all, the overall strength of the team will become stronger as we go forward. There are no weak teams in the quarter-finals. Hamburg has dealt with us, especially in terms of player transfers. Our current two players Vincent (Kompany) and Nigel (De Jong) are from each other. Not only that. , We also had on-court exchanges with Hamburg in the pre-season warm-up match, so this will help us better prepare for the next two rounds. Of course, Manchester City today has changed a lot compared to the past, and we always like to look forward and be full of confidence."

And Martin Jol obviously will not admit defeat, "In my opinion, Manchester City belongs to one of the six strongest teams in the Premier League," the former Tottenham coach complimented. "They have very capable players in almost every position, so I am sure that the next two games will be very exciting, and our goal is to enter the semi-finals." At present, Hamburg's Olić (7 goals) has a chance to catch up with CSKA Moscow's Love (11 goals), and of course the extremely abnormal Xu Zhou. Now Xu Zhou's goals have surpassed Love.

Manchester City and Hamburg have faced each other twice in history, and Manchester City lost both games.Fortunately, both games are friendly matches, which cannot represent the real strength of the team.The most recent confrontation took place in the warm-up match before this season. At that time, Manchester City lost to Hamburg 0-1 at the City Stadium, and Pitroipa scored the only goal.

曼城与德国球队在欧洲赛场的交锋中2胜1平2负。而这五战中有三次对阵沙尔克，在本赛季联盟杯小组赛客场对阵沙尔克的比赛中，曼城2比0完胜对手。继1969/70赛季欧洲优胜者杯半决赛淘汰沙尔克之后，曼城再次让对手尝尽苦头。而1978/79赛季的联盟杯中，曼城却被门兴格拉德巴赫两回合淘汰出局。

汉堡对阵英格兰球队的欧战经验显然要丰富得多，但也只取得了3胜2平5负的成绩而已。本赛季小组赛中，汉堡在主场3比1击败阿斯顿维拉。

休斯和约尔在2005/06和2006/07赛季分别率领布莱克本和托特纳姆热刺有过四次交锋，约尔1胜3平保持不败。
