Bayern Munich's frontcourt should be regarded as the top players in Europe football at present.
With the two top wingers Sane and Koeman, plus the two veterans Muller and Lewandowski, there is no doubt about the strength of the Bayern Munich team.
Sane got the ball on the wing, and Li Mingyu came to help defend and forced it to the sideline.
However, Sane's footwork is really good. Faced with the defense of two people, Sane still dared to make moves.
After a series of fake moves, Sane moved the ball forward, preparing to use speed to break through Kyle Walker's defense.
Li Mingyu saw Sane's actions, so he directly bypassed Kyle Walker, who failed to tackle, and quickly chased after him.
Sane was a little surprised by the speed of Li Mingyu. He had only heard that Li Mingyu was very fast, but he had never experienced it personally.
Sane It is rare to meet someone who can keep up with him in running without the ball.
And the speed of Li Mingyu seems to be slightly faster than Sane.
Li Mingyu came first, a tackle that fell to the ground kept the ball, and kept the football where it was.
Sane was also directly tackled to the ground by Li Mingyu, but because Li Mingyu touched the ball first, there was no foul in the tackle this time.
Li Mingyu, who got up, first passed the ball to Kyle Walker in front, and then quickly started running forward along the sideline.
Kyle Walker passed the ball to Rodri in the middle.
Rodri did not dare to pass forward directly, but passed to the center back Laporte for a transition.
Laporte Manchester City is a player with good footwork. Facing the ball, Laporte directly made a long pass and passed the ball to Li Mingyu who ran out of space on the wing.
Because the Bayern Munich team pressed too close just now, the two full-backs' return to defense became a problem.
On Li Mingyu's side, Pavard, the wing back of team Bayern Munich, was desperately chasing after Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu ran forward while looking back at the position of the ball. When the football landed in front of him, Li Mingyu used his thigh to remove the ball.
Before the ball hit the ground, Li Mingyu used his right foot to lead the ball forward, accelerated instantly, and wiped away Kimmich who was approaching to grab the ball.
Kimmich originally wanted to wait for Li Mingyu to stop the ball and then get close to it. It would be a good thing if he could grab it. Even if he couldn't grab it, he would have to use his body to block Li Mingyu's progress.
But Li Mingyu's stop, coupled with this lead, is simply a work of art in stopping the ball.
Kimmich had no time to lean on Li Mingyu. Even if he stretched out his hand to pull, there was no response.
As quiet as a virgin, as active as a stray rabbit.
Li Mingyu is much faster than a rabbit.
After wiping out Kimmich, Li Mingyu directly faced Bayern Munich's last defensive player.
Center back Alaba.
Alaba, who is 31 years old this year, is the captain of Austria national team. This year is the contract year of Alaba. Last season, Alaba announced that he would not renew his contract with the team.
Alaba has been playing for the Bayern Munich team since 2011 and has been playing for twelve years.
I heard that this summer, there are many teams that want to introduce Alba, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and even Manchester City wants to introduce this Austria defensive gate.
If Alaba can come to Manchester City, then the double defenders of him and Laporte will be the most troublesome back line for all enemies.
However, Li Mingyu now needs to face the defense of Alaba.
Li Mingyu, who has reached the limit of speed, is ready to use his own speed to beat Alaba.
As the last line of defense, Alaba had no way to deal with Li Mingyu who was already running towards him at full speed.
He knew how Li Mingyu would come to him, but there was nothing he could do about it.
If you want to stop Li Mingyu, you must intercept the football at the exact moment Li Mingyu plays the ball.
Otherwise, you can only use fouls to stop Li Mingyu.
However, Alaba, as the team's last line of defense, knew in his heart that if he used foul tactics, since he was the last defensive player, he would most likely be sent off the field with a red card by the referee.
Maybe, he prevented Li Mingyu from scoring a goal, but how will Bayern Munich, who has one less player, face the powerful Manchester City in the next game.
And because of the red card, he will not be able to play in the next knockout match. Although it is a bit exaggerated, without Alaba, Bayern Munich's defense, it will really drop to a level.
Alaba has a lot on his mind and has even considered the next game.
Li Mingyu forcibly passed by Alaba. Alaba did not reach out to foul, but quickly turned around, trying to chase Li Mingyu.
Bayern Munich's head coach Julian-Nagelsmann saw Alaba's performance off the field and immediately became furious.
In his opinion, Li Mingyu must not be allowed to break through at this time.
With the strength of Li Mingyu, the single-handed ball is basically stable.
In the two years since Li Mingyu debuted, Li Mingyu scored all the single-handed goals he faced the goalkeeper.
The single-handed ball killer, the king of the pendulum,...
Li Mingyu already has a lot of strange titles on his head.
After passing Alaba, Li Mingyu was not polite at all and cut inside directly.
Alaba is worthy of being Austria national team's biggest rival. After turning around, he quickly caught up behind Li Mingyu.
At this time, both people had entered the restricted area.
Alaba didn't dare to move too much. He could only keep pulling Li Mingyu's jersey behind him.
Li Mingyu entered the penalty area, and goalkeeper Neuer roared like a lion and jumped out.
Li Mingyu made an emergency stop, slowed down his speed, adjusted his steps, raised his right foot, and prepared to shoot.
Due to Li Mingyu's emergency stop, Alaba finally came parallel to him from Li Mingyu's side. Seeing Li Mingyu's shooting action, Alaba directly threw his body out and blocked the ball between the football and the goal.
Neuer also lowered his center of gravity, half-crouched on the ground, and made a save action.
But when Li Mingyu's right foot came down, he did not kick the football, but dunked it on the right side of the football. Alaba slipped out in front of him, and Neuer also sat on the ground due to his center of gravity.
The goal behind Neuer is almost empty.
Li Mingyu raised his left foot and pushed the football to the far corner of the goal.
Neuer quickly stood up and wanted to pounce on the ball, but the angle of the ball was too awkward. Neuer could not stop the trajectory of the football at all.
Munich Allianz Arena once again fell into silence.
2:3, Manchester City, playing away from home, once again overtook the score.
This go-ahead score was a huge blow to the Bayern Munich team.
I suppressed the opponent continuously for more than ten minutes, but got nothing.
Instead, let the opponent counterattack once and the fight is over.
It can be clearly seen that many Bayern Munich players have frustrated expressions on their faces.
The shadow of the tree of human life.
Li Mingyu's superb performance also planted a shadow of fear in the hearts of Bayern Munich players.
With two shots and one pass, Li Mingyu's perfect performance made all Bayern Munich players feel that they were defeated not by Manchester City, but by Li Mingyu alone.
In the next game, Manchester City played more comfortably.
Completely recycling the defense, setting up a bus in front of the goal, making it impossible for Bayern Munich to send the ball into the penalty area.
Some impatient Bayern Munich players began to try long-range shots from outside the penalty area.
You know, long-range shots are not that easy to use when setting up a defensive formation like a bus.
Because most of Manchester City's defensive players are concentrated in the middle, even if Bayern Munich's players can take off, they won't have a good chance to threaten the goal.
After five or six consecutive long-range shots, only one of them penetrated the crowd and flew towards the goal. This time, no one in the game stretched out his kick. Goalkeeper Ederson relaxed his arms and easily received the football in his arms.
Sterling in the crowd shrank his neck, but fortunately he took back the evil foot he wanted to extend.
If he scores another own goal, his name will be associated with complimentary words such as "stupid" and "idiot".
While Bayern Munich was attacking, he was very careful not to give Manchester City the chance to counterattack quickly.
If the ball is intercepted or the pass shot is blocked and falls at the feet of the Manchester City player, the Bayern Munich player will counterattack immediately. If the counterattack fails, they will use foul tactics to prevent Manchester City from starting a fast break.
Although he paid the price of two topaz War God cards, Manchester City did not get a good fast break opportunity.
At the 75th minute of the second half, the head coaches of both sides began to deploy their troops.
Bayern Munich won Kimmich and replaced it with high center center Ai Rick-Choupo-Moting. Cameroon, a national player who is 34 years old this year, is 1.91 meters tall and is a very powerful center.
Ai Rick-Choupo-Moting is not only good at heading the ball, he is also very good at footwork. Replacing him on the field also allows the Bayern Munich team to increase crosses, allowing him and Lewandowski to find header opportunities in the penalty area.
Manchester City replaced right winger Foden with Bernardo Silva, which made the midfield thicker and made Bayern Munich's offense more difficult.
Sure enough, next, Bayern Munich's attack began to go three ways.
Continuous high-altitude balls began to bomb Manchester City's penalty area.
Li Mingyu has also defended the penalty area. What surprised many people is that Li Mingyu can determine the landing point of the high-altitude ball almost every time and occupy the best position every time.
"Beep!--" The referee blew his whistle, and someone in Manchester City's penalty area fell to the ground!
