Seven Crowns

In another game that ended at the same time, Japan narrowly beat Iraq 1-0 at home.

Therefore, after the top ten rounds, China ranked first with 9 points, Japan ranked second with 7 points, Australia ranked third with 2 points, Oman ranked fourth with 2 points, and Iraq ranked last with 1 point.

China and Japan have gradually widened the points gap with the latter.

Australia, in particular, joined the AFC thinking that it would be easy to qualify in the Asian region, but now it seems that they may not be able to qualify.

Of course, there are a total of ten rounds in the top ten competition, and only four rounds have passed. It is still early, and Australia still has a chance to make a comeback. It cannot be said that China and Japan will definitely occupy the top two and qualify directly.

After returning to Spain after playing the top ten games, Real Madrid ushered in the fourth round of La Liga.

On September 15, in the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away against Sevilla.

Because the first round of the UEFA Champions League group match with Manchester City will be three days later, Mourinho has reservations about this game, and only a few limited main players such as Lu Wenbin will be played.

Real Madrid played more difficult in this game.

Perhaps it is because many players have participated in the national team competition, including substitutes. Came back to play away again, exhausted.

Perhaps there is also the fact that the team won the Triple Crown last season, and the lack of fighting spirit of the players this season is part of it.

Coupled with a bit of luck, the team was finally tied 2-2 by Sevilla in the away game.

If it weren't for Lu Wenbin's one goal and one assist, Real Madrid would have even lost the game.

Fortunately, Real Madrid finally retreated from the away game with one pass and one shot by Lu Wenbin, keeping their undefeated golden stature, and the unbeaten La Liga games continued to 46 games.

Next, it is the UEFA Champions League group stage that the world is watching: Real Madrid VS Manchester City.

Needless to say, Real Madrid is full of superstars, such as Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Di Maria, Alonso, Ramos, Casillas, etc., just these names are enough to attract people. Countless fans watched the game.

As for Manchester City, it is mainly their financial resources and their status as the new Premier League champions.

Last season, with Aguero's goal, Manchester City beat Queens Park Rangers in the last minute of stoppage time, and won the Premier League title by virtue of their goal difference advantage over rival Manchester United.

This is Manchester City's first Premier League title and the fifth title in the 20-year history of the Premier League. It is also the first time since 1968 that Manchester City has won England's top league title again after 44 years.

The biggest reason for Manchester City to turn around is that it was acquired by the Middle East consortium Abu Dhabi consortium.

Since the Abu Dhabi consortium took over, Manchester City has invested huge sums of money in the transfer market every season, introduced powerful stars, and transformed the lineup. Finally, they won their first Premier League title last season.

Now, Manchester City has Joe Hart, Maicon, Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez, Dzeko, Kompany, Xavi Garcia, Aguero and other powerful superstars in the Manchester City team. European giants such as Manchester United, Bayern, and Barcelona are not inferior at all.

The only downside is the lack of a Champions League champion.

Therefore, now Manchester City is still an oil upstart in the eyes of fans, not a wealthy family.

Being despised by the outside world as an upstart, Manchester City is naturally full of desire for the Champions League from top to bottom. Being assigned to the death group was forced to a dead end.

Therefore, even if it is an away game against the Galacticos Real Madrid, Manchester City must be united and desperate to fight Real Madrid.

At 20:45 on the evening of September 18th, at the Bernabeu Stadium, in the eyes of countless fans looking forward to the scene and in front of TVs around the world, with the whistle of the referee, the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League Group D match between Real Madrid and Manchester City The first round of competition officially begins.

Real Madrid is 4231, while Manchester City is 4321. The defensive midfielder plus four defenders is more thorough than Real Madrid.

In the 7th minute, Khedira broke the ball from the midfielder Dzeko, and Real Madrid counterattacked. As a result, Lu Wenbin's breakthrough with the ball was cut off by Barry and Yaya Toure just after passing the center line.

In the 14th minute, Lu Wenbin no longer used a personal breakthrough, but played a quick pass and cut with his teammates, and finally got the opportunity to kick a long shot on the line of the penalty area.

As a result, the heavy bombardment that went straight to the blind corner this time was stabbed out of the bottom line by a flying save by Joe Hart.

A jittery Joe Hart made a brilliant world-class save.

Joe Hart, the England goalkeeper, is indeed a little nervous.

When you play well, you don't lose to the world's top goalkeepers. When he makes a mistake, people can't wait to kick him a few times in person.

As a result, what Lu Wenbin met now was the brave Joe Hart. It must be said that his luck was a bit unlucky.

While Yaya Toure, Joe Hart and others were firmly guarding the goal, Dzeko, Aguero and others in front were not idle.

Although the number is smaller, Dzeko, Aguero and others still got some good opportunities with their strong personal abilities.

In the 18th minute, the attacking midfielder Dzeko passed a good kick, which penetrated Real Madrid's defense, and Aguero completed a close-range tackle before Ramos.

Casillas didn't even have time to fall to the ground to make a save, so he subconsciously stretched his legs, and was very lucky to block this close shot from the goal, and then was kicked out of the penalty area by Pepe who returned to the defense.

Casillas also made a crucial save.

In the group of death, both sides fought extremely fiercely. Not only a technical competition, but also a physical confrontation.

In the 22nd minute, Khedira and Manchester City midfielder Nasri had a fierce aerial collision. Both lay on the ground for a long time and did not get up. The game resumed after treatment by the team doctors of both sides.

But Nasri was injured more seriously, and he couldn't hold on until the 36th minute. Before the first half was over, Mancini replaced Kolarov with Kolarov.

As a result, Kolarov made a mistake within a few minutes of playing.

In the 41st minute, Manchester City's offense, Aguero had already run out of space, but Kolarov, who was holding the ball, insisted on not passing the ball, and wanted to break through Pepe's defense by himself, and shot into the penalty area to shoot.

As a result, Pepe saw the opportunity and made a tackle on the ground, shoveling him to the ground with the ball, and the ball was also shoveled by Pepe to Alonso who was returning to the defense.

Real Madrid made a quick counterattack. Alonso found Benzema with a precise long pass. Benzema dribbled the ball to the side and then made a cross. Finally penetrated Joe Hart's ten fingers.

According to statistics after the game, the speed of the ball reached more than 128 kilometers per hour. It is no wonder that Joe Hart, who played bravely, did not react.

Real Madrid finally opened the scoring with Lu Wenbin's long-range shot, leading Manchester City 1-0 at home.

The root cause of the conceded goals came from Kolarov. If it wasn't for him sticking the ball and passing it to Aguero earlier, not only would he not be hit by a steal and counterattack and lose the ball, but Aguero might score a goal.

So football pays attention to teamwork. Even Lu Wenbin sometimes needs the support of his teammates.

If you want one person to score goals in a row, not every game has that kind of good thing.
