Since I want to win the Ballon d'Or.
Then I will go to the scene to receive the award with an impeccable performance.
.................................................
PSV head coach Ronald Koeman used the same 4-4-2 starting lineup as the last time.
Starting goalkeeper: Gomez.
Defenders: Carlos Salcido, Manuel da Costa, Alex, Kronkamp!
Midfielders: Timmy Simmons, Jason Chulina, Philip Cocu, Edison Mendes! "
Double strikers: Diego Tardelli, Aruna Kone!
Although Ronald Koeman was just flooded with news about Su Fei's match against Liverpool's "Nine Five Supremes" some time ago.
But the blond Dutchman was still very satisfied with the team's defensive restrictions on Manchester City in the last match.
On the other side.
Manchester City still used the regular starting lineup, 4-1-2-3 formation.
......
After the game started, Eindhoven continued the overall defensive tactics of the previous game, using defensive counterattacks as the main offensive method.
But soon, the high-spirited Su Fei passed the ban in the frontcourt. The turmoil in the penalty area created a very threatening pass.
In the 7th minute of the game, Su Fei received Modric's through ball at the top of the penalty area, faked a pass, and then passed it in front of the goal. Podolski rushed over and shot it, hitting the post.
PSV's double defensive midfielder and central defender Alex's three-man double-teaming of Su Fei in front of the goal limited Su Fei's space to shoot to a certain extent.
So in the following time, Su Fei put more attention on passing the ball to his teammates.
In the 18th minute of the game, after Su Fei received the ball with his back to the goal in the center circle, he turned around and Marseille turned to shake off Qiu who was defendingLina passed the ball diagonally to Cassano on the left. Barry boy shot from outside the penalty area, and Manchester City opened the situation with Cassano's world wave.
1:0!
In the second half, PSV Eindhoven, who was behind, had to strengthen the attack, which also gave Su Fei his own opportunity.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Modric made a cross from the bottom, and Su Fei headed the ball to the goal, finally showing a violent header of the magic man Su to his friends from the Eredivisie.
2:0!
The situation of the game has begun to tilt towards Manchester City, but PSV Eindhoven is unwilling to give up, and completely turned from defense to offense, using the two-wing flying tactics to cross the ball to find opportunities.
In the 69th minute of the game, Aruna Kone's cross after breaking through on the right created a direct shot opportunity for his teammate Diego Tardelli. Tardelli volleyed from outside the penalty area and successfully helped the team retain hope.
2:1!
But in the following time, the resistance of the Dutch giants was quickly attacked by Manchester City.
In the 75th minute of the game, Martinez made a long pass, Knight and Modric made continuous passes in the middle, Knight made a straight pass, and Su Fei got the chance to score. The magic Su Zhong dribbled past Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomez and easily pushed the ball into the goal.
3:1!
In the 86th minute of the game, Manchester City, which had a 2-goal lead, continued to attack fiercely. Su Fei and his substitute teammate Vassell in the frontcourt, double-teamed against Gomez, Su Fei pushed Vassell, and Vassell pushed the ball directly into the empty goal without stopping.
4:1!
At the end of the game, Su Fei was elected the best player of the game with 2 shots and 2 assists.
Manchester City won 5 games in the Champions League group stage, achieving the best results including all groups.
Post-match press conference.
"I'm glad we won, and we won beautifully!"
"After two games, we scored a total of 5 goals and only let the opponent score 1 goal!"
"I believe that after this game, there will no longer be any discussion about who is stronger between the Premier League champion and the Dutch Eredivisie champion. We are far better than PSV Eindhoven!"
Stuart's post-match speech dealt another blow to Ronald Koeman and the Dutch Eredivisie media.
But when you meet such an opponent who you can't beat and likes to attack people, you can only swallow your anger.
What else can you do?
Football is always a place where the outcome of the game speaks.
