Li Qiao is a bit lonely today, he was stuck in front of him to death.
When Vidal kicked the ball, Li Qiao was excited, but it stopped just after starting, because Vidal's pass was cut off by Yaya Toure in the middle.
"Damn, shit," Li Qiao cursed in his heart.
At this time, it was as if an invisible wall had been built between him and his teammates by Manchester City. Passing the ball couldn't pass. Without the ball, Li Qiao was useless even if he was an alien!
"The melon bald is eating a ditch and gaining wisdom", Li Qiao thought to himself.
In fact, Sammer also thought the same way. The victory in the last game made him really underestimate the enemy, forgetting how powerful Guardiola is.
Summer is brainstorming, he is thinking about how to free Li Qiao!
Li Qiao looked at the sidelines, Summer's gesture was to let him go to the middle, so Li Qiao and Muller switched positions. At first, they took the ball a few times, but soon, Fernandinho and Yaya Toure followed.
Moreover, Li Qiao's role in the middle lane is even smaller. Li Qiao's characteristic is speed, but there are more people in the middle lane, and Li Qiao has no room to run around.
So without waiting for Summer's latest instructions, Li Qiao returned to the left side where he was good at, and the two "black bodyguards" immediately followed.
Guardiola has been targeting Thumbs Yaya Toureby and restricting Li Qiao, Bayern is crippled, very good! !
At this time, Li Qiao's only hope fell on Lamu, 40 meters away, Li Qiao looked at Lamu, "Didn't you say to form a golden wing with me, why don't you come up?"
But what Li Qiao didn't know was that the premise for Lahm to step forward was that Li Qiao could hold the ball. If Li Qiao couldn't hold the ball, would it be useful for Lahm to assist?
In fact, with Li Qiao's IQ, it's easy to understand this point. It's just that he is impetuous. Forwards are like this. If they don't hold the ball for a long time, they will have no sense of feet.

As for Manchester City, after scoring a goal, they also restrained a bit. This was arranged by Guardiola. Guardiola paid special attention to the rhythm of the team.
Within 10 minutes, Manchester City's ball possession rate increased, but the ball possession in this game is different from that in the game. Now it is the possession of the ball after leading, which is effective ball possession, and Bayern has also strengthened the fight.
The ball passed through the midfield of Manchester City and came to De Bruyne's feet. The Belgian was keenly aware of the opportunity from "Pedro".
The moment Pedro took the ball, Vidal had already followed, and he was about to get stuck. Pedro knew that the key to breaking through was not to be stuck, so speed up?
Do not!
Pedro has a better choice right now. He saw "Iheanacho" move to the side, so Saber pushed forward with his right foot, gave the ball to Iheanacho, and inserted himself into the middle to respond. This is a classic pass-run switch.
Once Pedro and Iheanacho switch positions, Bayern’s defense is actually loose, because Lahm has to pull out to defend Iheanacho, and Pedro, as a winger, goes straight into the middle. As long as "Iheanacho" passes the ball back, Pedro can even shoot directly.
Lahm knew he couldn't get "Iheanacho" to pass the ball back to Pedro no matter what, so he followed "Iheanacho" and fouled when necessary.
And Ishinacho made the stupidest choice at this time. He didn't pass the ball, but wanted to break through Ram. This young man was overconfident.
With a flick of the instep, Ishinacho wanted to pass through others, but is Ram's crotch so easy to wear?When Ishinacho reacted, Ram had already intercepted the ball and dribbled the ball for an assist!
*****
Li Qiao knew that the kind of opportunity that Ram said had come!
While Lahm was running along the wing with the ball, Li Qiao also started it. At this time, Fernandinho and Yaya Toure were slightly taken aback. What should we do?
This is the charm of football. On the football field, no matter how strong an individual is, it is not as good as a team. Li Qiao will be watched to death by himself, but now that Lahm has an assist, Li Qiao has more choices.
Yaya Toure made a decisive decision. He pointed at Lahm and asked "Fernandinho" to intercept Lahm, while he continued to stare at Li Qiao.
Fernandinho and Yaya Toure made a choice, so Li Qiao should also make his own choice, what should he do?Do you want to move on now?
If that was the case, Li Qiao would have become an amateur. He didn't do that, but retreated to meet Ram.
Lahm understood and gave the ball to Li Qiao. Li Qiao didn't stop the ball, and flicked the outside of his instep and passed it back to Lahm's running route.
If Li Qiao doesn't stop the ball, then Yaya Toure will not have the chance to kick someone, because kicking someone without the ball is a red card.
With a beautiful two to one, Manchester City's right lane was opened in an instant. At this time, Li Qiao could run, and run as much as he wanted.
Ram ran, and when he met Sania, he completed a beautiful two-for-one with Li Qiao, and Ram also reached the bottom line. At this time, there was no hesitation. Ram had two choices—either cross to find Lewand, or pass back to Li Qiao.
Ram is making a choice, and Manchester City's "Otamendi" is also making a choice. Who is he defending?
When he was hesitating, Li Qiao helped him, and Otamendi stopped hesitating when he saw Li Qiao rushing forward quickly, and went towards Li Qiao.
And Li Qiao's running position also made it easier for Lahm, that is to find Lewand! !
Is it weird?Not surprisingly.
Li Qiao's running position is to run himself to death and take away a central defender. His purpose is to help Lahm make a choice. This is the quality of an excellent player.
A cross fell into the penalty area. Under Kompany's defense, Lewandowski went first and headed the ball towards the goal. The ball was too close to the goal. Joe Hart pounced, but it didn't help. The ball flew into the near corner of the goal.
1:1.
The moment the goal was scored, the Etihad Stadium seemed to be cleared, and all horses were silent, and the sporadic shouts came from Bayern fans from afar.
The Manchester City fans couldn't believe it, the scene just happened too fast, and the Manchester City fans hadn't realized it yet, "Didn't we attack just now, why did the opponent score a goal"?
Yes, there were only a few tens of seconds between "Iheanacho" trying to surpass others and finally Lewandowski scored with a header. In such a short period of time, Bayern completed a textbook-like defensive counterattack, and Manchester City was beaten up and down.
*****
After Lahm assisted and ran back, Li Qiao said: "Captain, is that the feeling you mentioned?"
Ram nodded. He knew that feeling was tacit understanding, and tacit understanding did not require words. You knew it when you knew it. It was useless if you didn't know how to explain it.
What was even happier was Summer. Li Qiao and Lahm seemed to have had a spark before. Although Li Qiao's personal ability was against the sky, when a strong team competes, there will definitely not be too many opportunities for personal breakthroughs, and most of the time it depends on cooperation.
Summer looked at this scene and was happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything and let it take its course. This is the choice of a good coach.
The current always looks for the route with the least resistance, and on the court, the ball will also choose the attack route with the least resistance. Since Bayern's golden left side looks good, of course teammates like to pass the ball this way.
But now "Fernandinho" and "Yaya Toure" have nothing to do with Li Qiao. It's very simple. Li Qiao just transitions. When the ball reaches him, he immediately transitions to Ram. Li Qiao doesn't stop the ball and doesn't break through. Then what will you do with Li Qiao?
With a pad on the back of Li Qiao's instep, the Ram was plugged in like the wind, the same move, the same effect. At this time, the famous song of "The Beatles" could no longer be heard at the Etihad Stadium, replaced by boos. The Manchester City fans used boos to remind the team that this will not work.
Going down to the bottom line, Lahm passed back in an inverted triangle, and Muller volleyed in front of the penalty area. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, scaring the home fans with red and white faces.
The boos are getting louder and louder, and the fans can see the problem, so can Guardiola not see it?Impossible, but there's nothing he can do for now.
Bayern relied on this trick to beat Barcelona 7-0 in two rounds. If it was so easy to defend, it would be called a golden wing.
In desperation, Guardiola beckoned Pedro to mark Lahm. This move is a pair, that is, to sacrifice his own offense to limit the opponent. The effect is not bad, but the loss is also great.
The off-court coach had no choice but Yaya Toure on the court couldn't bear it anymore. Since Li Qiao didn't stop the ball, he would grab the ball the moment Li Qiao touched it, faster than anyone else.
Undoubtedly, he must have kicked someone by doing this, and kicked someone from the back. After being kicked, Li Qiao fell to the ground in a slightly exaggerated manner. He wanted to apply for a yellow card for Yaya Toure, but the referee finally showed mercy. After verbally warning Yaya Toure, the referee showed him a yellow card!
Facing the yellow card, Yaya Toure was very helpless, not because he felt wronged by the foul, but because facing someone like Li Qiao, he couldn't help it if he didn't foul! !
Fortunately, the first half was almost over, Guardiola looked at his watch, and then called Yaya Toure over, like a good brother, hooking shoulders and backs.
"Calm down, the first half is almost over, don't get sent off",
Yaya Toure was overjoyed and thought: "I've been in the Premier League for so many years, so I'm not that fragile."
He nodded and ran back to his position. After the first half entered injury time, it was like entering garbage time. After 45 minutes of fast pace, both sides were tired. Looking at the big screen, the pointer was about to reach the point, and the players naturally slacked off.
The referee was probably tired too. With 30 seconds left in stoppage time, the first half was terminated early. Players from both sides ran into the tunnel, and Bayern's side walked at the end with three people—Li Qiao, Ram, and Muller. The three were talking and laughing, especially Muller. Li Qiao and Ram were hurrying to plan how to play in the second half.
