Leroy Sane and Salif Sane are both of Senegalese descent, but just like Lu Xun and Zhou Xun are both Chinese, they are not even remotely related.

Leroy Sane came out of the youth training of a pharmaceutical company and was later poached by Schalke. After three years in the first team, he transferred to Manchester City in 2012. At that time, Guardiola personally selected the player.

It has been almost three years in the blink of an eye. These two knockout rounds were the first time Sane faced his old club. Three weeks ago, he only came on as a substitute for nearly 80 minutes. He did not leave much impression on his old friend when he went to Schalke. Today, Sane started.

In three seasons, although Sane was not considered Manchester City's core main force, he at least had the status of the main rotation, and followed Manchester City to win the championship honor. Wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night, Sane needs to show off in front of Schalke.

Manchester City's pressing and restrictive play in the first 40 minutes left Schalke at a loss as they retreated deep. This also left Sane, who is good at running and attacking, with little space. On the contrary, Sterling, who is like a troublemaker, was more active.

Zhuoyang broke the game with a penalty kick, and the total score between the two sides became 4:2, shattering the remaining illusion of the Schalke people and confusing their minds. The formation was loose and Sane's opportunity came.

In the shadow of the famous tree, Schalke's defensive attention was all on the murderous Zhuo Yang. Sane, who was the team's assault king and ranked second in the efficiency list, was ignored.

In the 45th minute, Smart connected from a wide angle on the right side. Sane overtook Bruma on the left side and then caught the ball and entered the penalty area.

After advancing into the small penalty area near the front post, he was blocked by Stan Pauli and Fellman, but this is the position and method that Sane is good at.

Glancing towards the middle, he noticed that Zhuoyang did not follow up. Sane was not Sterling but he was also smart. He immediately knew what was going on and without hesitation, he kicked back with his heel.

As expected, Zhuoyang followed him shamelessly and secretly. He only had football in his eyes.

With a cry of 'go away', Zhuoyang hit the ball hard. The football roared over the heads of Sane, Fellman and Stanbally, and they could feel the burning on their scalps.

Sane was speechless: Master, if you accidentally turn me around, I'm only 23 this year...

The ball went in from the near corner, violently and clearly, leaving no room for referee Turpin to find fault.

"Leroy, you passed the ball well." Zhuoyang's verbal praise. "The shot like that just now didn't scare you, did it?"

What do you think? Sane shook his head: "In other words, as long as you are happy, brother."

At the end of the first half, Zhuo Yang scored twice, the score was 2:0, and the total score was 5:2. So far, this is still a very ordinary Champions League 1. There is something magical and worth remembering.

The same is true for Zhuoyang, and the same is true for Sane.

On the way to the locker room, Guardiola, who was suddenly speechless just now, seemed unable to hold back and kept smiling playfully. "Say it first, no slaps in the face."

Zhuo Yang is a gentle man, how could he hit him?

"Brother, let me play the whole game today. I want to score goals. Two goals are not enough."

"Brother, I just like listening to you talk."

If something isn't broken, don't fix it. It makes sense that Guardiola didn't make any adjustments after halftime, but it was unusual that Tedesco also didn't make any tactical changes.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the total score of 2:5 has stopped Schalke from having any illusions in the away game. The team's performance in the Bundesliga this season has been unsatisfactory, but breaking through the Champions League group has given Tedesco a certain degree of madness.

It is not a shame to be eliminated by Manchester City. Tedesco is an ideal young coach. Based on the current situation of Schalke's overall strength, he continues to experiment and improve the long-thought-out organizational focus of the post-position play. He feels it is very necessary, and it is also in this game. The only pursuit left.

If he can finally successfully combine counterattack and running and gunning, he will become a coaching guru. This is Tedesco's ambition.

So, a disconnect in the backcourt? Just pretend it doesn't exist.

2. Sane was sold for 50 million, and then he spent 2.1 on striker Brel Embolo. This is the highest purchase price in the history of Schalke 04 so far.

Those who have played "Live" should know that Embolo is a demon forward with full explosive power and speed, and this is his selling point. So today Tedesco abandoned the two forwards Mendile and Ute from the previous round and chose Embolo to steal Manchester City's chicken, which is quite reasonable.

But ball control ability is Embolo's weakness. He can only barely pass in this aspect. Ball control and dribbling also limit him from becoming the absolute main force of Schalke and the Swiss national team.

Embolo is a surprise player on Schalke's front line. If the conditions are right, he may even become the team's breaking point. But today, due to a series of truces in Manchester City's defense, Lao Gua had no choice but to send Walker to play as a guest partner with Laporte, but he happened to restrain Embolo.

Are you quick to activate lightning? I am Kyle Walker, the fastest defender in the world today. Do you like it?

In the 51st minute, Nabil Bentalib, who scored twice from penalty kicks in the previous game, blocked the pass and gave Schalke a rare chance to counterattack. Embolo received the ball and was the lone thunderbolt.

But he met Walker who didn't rush forward today - in fact, he wanted to rush forward, but what Lao Gua emphasized most during the halftime break was to ask him to pay attention to Embolo.

As soon as he took two steps, he was caught by Walker, and he was occupied in the position in front of him to speed up, forcing Embolo to lower himself to compete with his poor dribbling and ball protection.

It is not easy for Walker, but his first success was to prevent Embolo from breaking out. The cunning Debich immediately closed in and overwhelmed Embolo, and the ball was cut off before it warmed up.

Schalke's formation was spreading out under the conditions, and Debich's direct pass to Zhuoyang looked very evil at this time.

At the other end, Zhuo Yang, who was running from the center like a wing, unexpectedly trampled the ball to the ground, and almost broke his leg when he almost broke his leg with the help of Sane, who was following him.

Zhuoyang ran away, the football stayed in place, and Le Sane, who was cross-changing, just took over. Should I say it or not, the cooperation between this guy and Zhuo Yang today is simply amazing. They are like flowers and jade.

Even if he dribbles the ball into the middle, he will not praise him. Le Sane takes one step to pass the ball and immediately crosses the ball to the left. Zhuoyang, who does not slow down after stepping on the ball, just penetrates the ribs and raises his left foot in the penalty area and fires.

Completed in one go, smooth passing coordination, minimalist one-move to defeat the enemy.

3:0, Zhuo Yang’s familiar hat trick.

Especially after 40 minutes, Sane played very well. He contributed two direct assists to Zhuo Yang's three goals. Zhuo Yang was not satisfied, but Sane was very satisfied.

But as an attacker on the rise, scoring goals is the most satisfying thing. After Sane took care of Zhuo Yang, he felt that it was time for him to have some fun and show off his wealth in front of his old club.

A big meal needs cold dishes, and a feast must have an interlude. Sane doesn't mind adding icing on the cake to Zhuoyang's game.

But Zhuo Yang doesn't mind.
