Chapter 701 Taking the Most Solid Step to the Final Four

"It was not Dzeko, Balotelli, Silva, or Li Feng who opened the door to victory for Manchester City, but Kolarov, who had few opportunities to perform this season."

In this season, with the arrival of Li Feng, Kolarov's free kick has almost become useless, and with the joining of Clichy, his position has also become unstable. So far, Kolarov has played less than ten times in the league.

Compared to the excitement of the Manchester City fans, Benfica was completely stunned. Just now, they almost opened the scoring, but after just 1 minute, Manchester City actually went in.

You know, starting from the first half, they have always had the advantage at home. This script is completely different from what they thought.

But the daze is only temporary. After all, this is the Stadium of Light, not the Etihad. Soon, the Benfica fans will take the initiative, and the poor Manchester City fans can only be drowned in the boos of the home fans.

However, these boos and insults have little effect on the players on the field. After all, everyone is a professional player and has been playing for so many years. Even Li Feng, who has the shortest career, has ushered in his fourth year, let alone others.

For the rare goal, the Manchester City players will naturally not be stingy with their blessings, and the blessings do not need money. In the end, amidst the huge boos of the Benfica fans, the Manchester City players slowly returned to the field.

And as Manchester City took the lead in breaking the deadlock, Benfica had no way out, so after the game restarted, Benfica chose to attack Manchester City's goal kick again.

On the left, but this time it was the Argentine Gaitan who appeared on the left. Cesar and Gaitan changed again. It is common for the two sides to switch positions. Silva and Aguero often switch positions.

In the contest between the two Argentinas, the two are still teammates of the national team, but both of them are only marginal figures of the national team. Although Zabaleta performed very well in the youth team and was even the captain of the youth team, he has never had a place for Zabaleta in the adult national team.

Even so far, Zabaleta has not helped Argentina participate in any international competitions, and the resumes of the national team competitions are all in the youth team.

Although both of them are fringe figures of the national team, they have also been teammates in the national team, so relatively speaking, the two can be regarded as friends.

But on the court, there are no so-called friends at all. In different teams, there is only one identity, which is the enemy. Sabaletta's eyes are fixed on the ball at Gaitan's feet.

Compared with technology, Gaitan is even more outstanding than Sussel. Although they are both South American players, people are always different, and players naturally have strengths and weaknesses.

Both feet kept running around the ball, pausing~~starting~~ changing direction and smashing the ball, Zabaleta could only helplessly watch Gaitan pass him, but this does not mean that Zabaleta has given up defending.

Turning around and chasing back, this also put a lot of pressure on Gaitan, and finally forced Gaitan to choose to pass the ball. He pushed across to stop near the penalty spot. Cardoso resisted Kompany's push and was saved by Joe Hart. Boateng followed up and made a clearance.

No. 60 minutes, Manchester City almost expanded their lead. After Li Feng passed the ball to Silva, he crossed with Dzeko.

Li Feng, who received the pass, was almost completely empty. He kicked the shot and the ball barely slipped past the goalkeeper Arthur's fingertips. However, just when everyone was expecting Manchester City to score, the goal post stood up for the third time in this game.

"Oh oh oh~~~Unbelievable, God~~~This~~What's the situation, Manchester City hit the goal post for the third time in this game, otherwise the score would definitely be more than 1:0 now."

Seeing that the ball finally hit the goal post and bounced off the baseline, Li Feng also looked helpless. The moment he pushed the ball out, Li Feng himself felt very good, but in the end it accidentally hit the goal post.

However, this will not affect Li Feng's mood, it's just that the goal is not scored, it's not the end of the world, not to mention Li Feng has absolute confidence in himself.

So soon, Li Feng got another chance. Balotelli broke through Emerson from the right and then cut inside, finally attracting Jardel to his side and passing the ball.

Silva, the Spaniard moved laterally from the other side to the middle, and Dzeko took another central defender Luiz to squeeze into the small penalty area at this moment.

This also directly caused the emptiness of the penalty area. Coupled with the involvement of Kolarov's forward drive, Manchester City once again got an almost empty chance.

But this time it was David Silva's shot. He took control with his left foot and shot with his right foot. The ball went straight to the Benfica goal, but just before the ball flew into the goal, an arm suddenly blocked the ball. In the end, the two collided and the ball bounced back.

However, Manchester City's offense was not over. A blue figure rushed in the penalty area, number 7, and this number 7 again. The owner of this number has completely become a nightmare for Benfica fans.

Because Li Feng scored a goal, the moment the ball bounced back to the penalty area, Li Feng threw away Harvey Garcia from the outside, rushed in front of the ball, and dived to the top.

"GOAL~~~2:0~~~2:0, Manchester City rewrote the score again, wind~~~wind~~~wind, the goal came so fast, just now, Benfica fans were still gloating and laughing at Li Feng's shot hitting the goal post, but in the blink of an eye, Li Feng gave a big gift."

"This is the efficiency~~~2:0. Manchester City now holds two away goals. If Benfica cannot score in the next time, then Manchester City will half a foot into the semi-finals, because the next round of the game is at the Etihad Stadium. So far, Manchester City has not lost at the Etihad Stadium."

On the bench on the court, Manchester City and Benfica were caught in two extremes at the same time. Both the coach and the players of Manchester City joined the celebration. Holding two away goal advantages is already a big deal for Manchester City.

At the same time, Benfica is also very clear that if they cannot recover the score in the next time, they can only stop waiting.

At this moment, the head coach of Benfica is looking at Aimar on the court with a worried face, because he knows that Aimar can no longer run, and when the core is about to be replaced, he knows that his team basically has no chance.

In the end, Giuses set his sights on another Argentina, Saviola. Now Benfica wants to score goals and can only replace the goal scorer. On the Benfica bench, the strongest is undoubtedly Saviola.
