The victory against Barcelona at the City Stadium a month ago was crucial, allowing Manchester City to face Monchengladbach calmly today.

After the four rounds of Group C of 201, Barcelona has 3 wins and 1 loss, as long as they don't make a big mistake later. Manchester City ranks second with 7 points with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the last round, Borussia Monchengladbach and Celtic tied 1:1, with 4 points and 2 points respectively. Therefore, Manchester City only needs a draw to advance ahead of the competition. qualify.

Even if they lose and share 7 points with Borussia Monchengladbach, Manchester City will face Celtic, the weakest team in the group, at home in the final round. Borussia Monchengladbach will go to Camp Nou to face Barcelona, ​​and Manchester City will also have a high probability.

If I were Gladbach, I would prepare for the UEFA Cup right now.

But I'm not Borussia Monchengladbach, and Schubert's team has no intention of letting go of Blue Moon easily.

Borussia Monchengladbach is already in the Bundesliga and is dependent on the relegation zone. The team must use the Champions League to boost morale. Andre Schubert also needs to use Manchester City's head to ease his dismissal crisis.

The Bundesliga is a bit chaotic this year, much like the Premier League last season. After 13 matches, the newly promoted Leipzig Red Bull remained undefeated, beating Bayern and Dortmund to the top of the list. Teams such as Cologne and Mainz also attacked them randomly. Madibau and Huocun were also unwilling to be outdone and refused to be unreasonable with anyone. In the end It is because of the traditional backbones such as Borussia Monchengladbach, Wolfsburg, Hamburg, Werder Bremen and Schalke that they were all suppressed near the relegation zone.

So far this season, only two teams in the five major leagues are still undefeated in the league, Leipzig and Real Madrid. They also quickly emerged from the lower leagues and participated in the top league for the first time in history. However, Leipzig's momentum this year is much stronger than that of Madiburg and Huocun in the past.

.

This is the first time Guardiola has come to Germany since leaving Bayern, and it is also the first time Zhuoyang has set foot on a German court since his comeback.

In the Prussia Park stadium, Turkish referee Güneit Cakir blew the whistle and the game started.

Manchester City's currently best player, Yaya Toure, is not on the court because he is not on the list for the Champions League group stage. If you want to play in the Champions League, you have to wait until after the knockout rounds after the new year, and then you can re-submit your registration. List.

Except for Kompany, who was injured for the 17th time, Guardiola used all his main players today. Sitting on the bench with Zhuo Yang were Sane, Nolito, Iheanacho and other dead substitutes.

Two months ago, Borussia Monchengladbach lost 0:4 to Manchester City at the City Stadium. Afterwards, media analysis said that they played too politely and respected Manchester City too much. So today Borussia Monchengladbach learned their lesson and behaved very rudely.

In the first ten minutes, people were tumbling on the turf, Manchester City players were like dolphins jumping out of the sea, and scenes of dogs eating shit appeared one after another.

In the 11th minute, referee Cakir finally couldn't stand it anymore and gave Borussia captain Lars Stindl a yellow card in an attempt to stop Borussia's bad behavior.

Stindl shoveled off De Bruyne's shoes, and the man flew up so high.

Borussia has restrained itself, which was originally a good thing. Manchester City is not afraid of this type of opponent, but being in a superior points position, the game does not need to be solved by chaos, just use step-by-step control of passing and cutting.

But Manchester City also has a bad temper, and Fernandinho was provoked by the opponent's foul. As soon as Cakir's yellow card was stuffed into his pocket, he almost shoveled Mahmoud Dahoud, who had just turned 20, to death.

To be honest, Cakir's field control ability was a bit weak. Feiniao's action was enough to give him a red card, but he still only received a yellow card. This set the tone for the degree of confrontation in the game.

Based on the ferocity of Stindl and Feiniao, anyone with a lower intensity than them will not be red, so don’t be afraid.

As a result, Borussia swarmed in again, but Manchester City could not give in, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to disrupt the game.

The two games in Group C start at the same time. If Barcelona really stumbles today, Manchester City can't imagine being first in the group, which means that the knockout rounds will be relatively smooth.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Messi scored a goal at Celtic Park and Barcelona led 1:0 away from home. Before Manchester City had time to figure out what to do, they lost the ball immediately.

Sterling's frivolous shot from the corner of the penalty area was easily confiscated by Gladbach goalkeeper Sommer, and then he threw the ball and launched a quick counterattack.

American Fabian Johnson received the ball and moved upfield. Stindl broke through from the left and hit the top of the penalty area. Brazilian forward Rafael sidestepped Stones and shot past Bravo with his outside instep. body.

Borussia Monchengladbach 1:0, Zhuo Yang rushed to see Guardiola, but found that Lao Gua didn't look at him at all.

It is certain that Manchester City has the upper hand, so even if they are behind in the away game, Guardiola will not be too angry. Anyway, he is very used to falling behind during this period.

The bayonet battle also caused trouble for Borussia Monchengladbach. In the 41st minute, Guinea winger Ibrahima Traore fought with Otamendi and sprained his own leg. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His face looked like a Van Gogh painting.

Traore is a common surname in West Africa, so there are many unrelated Traores in football now, ranging from 15 to 35 years old. The 28-year-old Borussia Traore is one of the more active players at the moment, and his role on the wing is very crucial.

The 24-year-old German Jonas Hoffman replaced Traore, who suffered a self-inflicted injury. To be honest, his ability was slightly lacking.

During the injury period in the first half, Borussia Monchengladbach failed to attack. Hoffman was still lingering in the frontcourt. Gundogan, who was holding the ball, sensed the opportunity and decisively hit him on the left behind. Sterling and Silva were both smarter than monkeys. Jing, they rushed over together in an instant.

By the time Hoffman went back to help defend, it was too late. Swiss right back Nico Elvedi was teased by the two monkeys until he wanted to die, not to mention Deb who was able to find every opportunity. Laune.

Ding Ding swept the ball in front of the goal, and Silva, who arrived in a roundabout way, stretched out his foot and poked in front. 1:1, Manchester City equalized the score.

David Silva is wearing the captain's armband today, so he is obviously working much harder than usual.

In the second half, the game changed places. Borussia wanted to win, so coach Schubert soon replaced Westergaard and Andre Hahn to continue the offensive nature of the lineup.

2 A center with a strong personality, he is known as the next generation of strikers in German football. The previous generation was the troll Gomez.

At the age of 20, Hahn was terminated from the Hamburg youth team, and in the end he had no choice but to volunteer for an amateur team in a regional league, playing in the sixth level. It is said that at that time, he was so poor that he could only eat promotional food in supermarkets every day, and at one time he even considered selling insurance.

Because of this experience, people also call Hahn the 'German version of Vardy'.

But he is already in his 2nd generation, so it may be too late.

Guardiola also removed Sterling and restored the four-back formation. This is not because Manchester City is prepared to accept a draw, but because of Guardiola's own clever calculation.

Use a solid defense to support Lucky Cat Zhuoyang in the frontcourt, even if he makes a mistake, it doesn't matter.

He was replaced by Navas for the first time, and the teammates who were struggling on the field were so happy that they had snot in their noses: Here comes our own lucky charm plug-in.

But Zhuoyang didn't have time to stand firm after coming on the field. Feiniao elbowed Hahn in the midfield. Cakir couldn't bear it and sent him off with two yellows and one red.

Zhuo Yang: "..."
