There is a belief called football

Chapter 548 Demon "Ishinacho"

When Li Qiao stepped onto the lawn of the Etihad Stadium, he was still a little excited. The last time he came to this beautiful stadium, he was still wearing a yellow and black jersey, but now he is Bayern's No. 10.

What Li Qiao didn't know was that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the stands. This started from this season, especially when Li Qiao participated in the Champions League.

They are scouts from the big clubs, including Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and of course Manchester City. The chief scout of Manchester City is sitting in the box and watching the game with the owner "Mansour".

Why did European giants pay more attention to Li Qiao this season?

That's because Li Qiao's platform is different. He is now in Bayern, and the team he plays for can determine your height.

For example, when Royce was still in Borussia, he was hailed as the best winger in German football in the future. At that time, Royce's liquidated damages were only 1700 million euros, but Bayern just didn't want him.

The reason is simple-he has not proved himself in the giants, especially in the Champions League.

There are too many cheats like this in European football. The most typical ones are Balotelli, Cassano, and Shalawi.

And often such fake goods are worth a lot, otherwise how can they be called fake goods?

So when Li Qiao was in Dortmund, many experts in European football thought he was good, but they didn't think he could become a top star. When he moved to Bayern in the summer, many people were actually waiting to see Li Qiao's jokes, thinking that he might be crushed by the pressure of the rich, just like Gotze, and finally had to go back to Dortmund in despair.

There are actually many such situations. Think about it, Dortmund's Shinji Kagawa went to Manchester United, Gotze went to Bayern, and the final result was a return.

But a few months later, Li Qiao slapped all the European football experts who were not optimistic about him, and he was ruthless. He is alive and well in Bayern.

That's why this game attracted so many scouts from European giants to watch, with only one purpose - to see Li Qiao live.

*****
In addition to Li Qiao, the biggest focus of this game is of course Guardiola, and the changes he made to the starting lineup in this game can be described as earth-shattering.

Goalkeeper - Joe Hart
Defense - Sagna, Otamendi, Kompany, Clichy
Single midfielder - Fernandinho

Midfielders - Pedro, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, Aguero
Forward Line - Iheanacho

The lineup has changed from 433 to 4141, and what is even more against the sky is that Guardiola let the 20-year-old "Ishinacho" start.

Who is Iheanacho?You may not be familiar with it, but have you heard of Manchester United's "Rashford", the one who is against the sky, like Martial, a player who became famous in the first battle.

Ishinacho is a bit like "Rashford". They are all players who are not afraid of tigers at birth. This also continues Guardiola's "pedophile" characteristics. Guardiola is a coach who especially likes young people.

Needless to say in Barcelona, ​​​​Messi, Bojan, Busquets, etc., in Bayern, Gaudino, Kimisi, etc., now in Manchester City, Guardiola has used the 20-year-old "Ishinacho" in such a critical game, which is a bit jaw-dropping.

In addition, Manchester City's starting lineup in this game has two defensive players-Fernandinho and Yaya Toure. The defensive hardness is much stronger than the previous game.

*****
When the adapted version of "hey`jude" resounded across the stadium, the game was about to start. The referee checked his watch, smiled at Aguero and Iheanacho who were stepping on the ball in midfield, and then whistled.

Aguero dials the ball and Ishinacho passes back to Yaya Toure. The fourth round of Group E of this season's UEFA Champions League begins! !
Bayern's starting lineup is similar to the last game, the only difference is that Lahm starts at left back. This is a communication between Lahm and Summer and Li Qiaoshen, but the specific effect depends on the game, after all, Li Qiao is not Robben.

Bayern's starting lineup is:

Goalkeeper - Manuel Neuer
Defenders - Rafinha, Boateng, Martinez, Lahm

Defenders - Rhodes, Vidal
Midfielders - Costa, Muller, Joe Lee

Striker - Lewandowski

*****
After the opening, Li Qiao got a chance to get the ball in the midfield. Just as he was about to start it, Fernandinho shoveled it over. Just to be on the safe side, Li Qiao jumped up and hid.

Guardiola went back and carefully studied the video of the last game. He knew that if Li Qiao was allowed to gallop again in this game, he would be a fool.

So in this game, Guardiola arranged two bodyguards for Li Qiao in the midfield-Fernandinho Gayaya Toure.

One guards against Li Qiao's bottoming, and the other guards against Li Qiao's inward cuts. This kind of equipment can defend even Messi, let alone Li Qiao.

Sure enough, in this game, Li Qiao shouldn't be able to get the ball easily after passing the midfield. This point Sammer also thought of it. He was bullied so badly by Li Qiao on the field, and Manchester City held their breath.

Li Qiao misfired, and Bayern's offense faltered, just like a 4M network, which made people very uncomfortable, because Bayern fans are used to the smoothness of [-]M fiber optics.

Fernandinho intercepts the ball to "Pedro", and Pedro runs along the sideline, where Lahm is defending.

Pedro stepped on his bicycle and overtook forcibly. Ram staggered, but still got stuck inside.

Pedro couldn't get rid of Lahm completely, so he forced a cross to find Iheanacho in the penalty area.

The Nigerian striker "Ishinacho" known as "New Kanu" moved erratically. He suddenly jumped from behind Martinez to the front. When Martinez found out, he was shocked because Ihenacho grabbed a favorable position.

What's even more powerful is that Ishinacho faced "Pedro"'s many passes, and directly swept it, which was very effective.

Martinez lost his position and could only tackle to block "Iheanacho"'s shooting line. When the ball was tackled out of the baseline by Martinez, the audience burst into applause, cheering for the 20-year-old teenager.

*****
Summer, who was on the sidelines, saw "Iheanacho" take the ball, divide the ball, and shoot so beautifully, and there was a hint of worry in his heart.

He thought that in such an important game, Guardiola's choice of forward line must be Aguero, but what he didn't expect was that Guardiola would choose the unknown "Iheanacho". What's more terrible is that all of Summer's defensive tactics in training are arranged according to Aguero's characteristics.

It is equivalent to saying that all of Summer's previous work has become useless.

"Rough enough," Summer thought.

On the other side, Guardiola is secretly proud. The 20-year-old teenager has performed better than he imagined. This is why Guardiola likes to use young people. You can see infinite possibilities in young people.

After Ishinacho took the ball with his back, he distributed the ball to Aguero on the left, and then pointed in front of himself, meaning to pass it back to me. This action shows that the teenager is full of confidence.

And Aguero is like a younger brother. After the breakthrough, he obediently returned the ball to Iheanacho. The latter faced Boateng without stopping the ball, volleyed directly, and the ball went slightly wide.

There was another round of applause at the scene, and under the cheers and cheers of one wave after another, the adrenaline of the young people was like an oil pump, blowing out.

Summer knew that it would be dangerous to go on like this. Young players are fiercer than tigers. Li Qiao in the last game is the best example.

Facts have proved that Summer was right to worry, and when the game reached 15 minutes, that moment still came.

This was originally an attack by Bayern, because Bayern's three lines are total defense, so when the pressure was on, the whole team basically passed halftime, and at this time Kompany intercepted the ball and stopped Bayern's attack.

Just when Bayern returned to defense across the board, Kompany made a long pass and went directly to Iheanacho. Facing Rafinha, Iheanacho swung away with a stride.

At this time, there was only one Neuer in front of him, and Ram on his right was quickly closing in on the middle, and the chance to shoot was fleeting. Ishinacho understood that he could only shoot from outside the penalty area.

Glancing at the upper right corner of the goal, Ishinacho swung his leg decisively and volleyed.

The ball was drawn very accurately, experienced people can see that this ball Neuer has no chance, the Bayern goalkeeper jumped high and sideways.

1:0.

The teenager finally completed an incredible performance.

After the goal was scored, Ram also arrived. In fact, as long as Iheanacho chooses to break into the penalty area instead of shooting, then he will have no chance to shoot, but the talent of an excellent striker helped him.

Goooooooooooooal!

The Etihad Stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy. Such a beautiful goal is not only as simple as a point, but also allows fans to see the future of Manchester City.

*****
After conceding the ball, Summer made adjustments and asked the midfielder "Rod" to mark "Ihenacho". This move is a double-edged sword, because as a defensive midfielder, Rhodes' own defensive task is already very heavy. He is facing De Bruyne, and now he is required to defend "Ihenacho". The burden on Rhodes can be imagined.

This is also the reason why Summer did not do this before losing the ball, but now he can no longer hesitate. Ishinacho in this game is like Li Qiao in the previous game. He has a tendency to play crazy.

Re-kick-off, Bayern strengthened control and controlled the ball at their feet.A very interesting scene appeared. Now both sides are afraid of the opponent's counterattack. Ishinacho, Li Qiao, these "Double Joes" are all players with one move, so after Manchester City scored, the pace of the game began to slow down a little.

Under such circumstances, the home fans began to entertain themselves. The Beatles' famous song "hey`jude" sounded again. The home fans seemed to be having a concert. People who just turned on the TV thought they had traveled back to the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
