"Perhaps, before today, Manchester City and Juventus did not have a grudge, but I can guarantee that after today, there will be another grudge on top of the Champions League. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

At half past eight o'clock in England, the Etihad Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, has already been full of people, and blue occupies almost the entire stadium, leaving only a small piece of black and white.

The noisy pitch, the quiet dressing room, when the clock entered the 40th minute, Van Basten opened the door to the dressing room, for this game, Van Basten told his disciples that he only accepted victory.

As the defending champions, Van Basten and his disciples are heading for a feat that has never been accomplished by a team since the Champions League was restructured, and that is to defend the title, so in the first game, they have to play with the momentum of the defending champions.

Manchester City lineup: 433

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Clichy, Kompany, Boateng, Zabaleta

Midfielders: De Jong, Yaya Toure, Li Feng

Forwards: Silva, Van Persie, Dzeko

The main force is all out, of course, if you count Aguero, it doesn't count, this game, the injured Aguero sat on the bench, after all, Aguero has been away from the field for a month, in such an important game, Van Basten really dare not take risks, in addition to this reason, Aguero can also act as a surprise effect.

Juventus:

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon

Defenders: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner

Midfielders: Asamoah, Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio

Forwards: Giovinco, Balotelli

Leonardo Bonucci is Italy's best centre-back after Giorgio Chiellini, while Juventus look like 442, but everyone knows that Conte is a back three, while Lichtsteiner and Asamoah are the kind of players who can play as both full-back and early wingers.

As for the forward line, there is a unique No. 9 and a half Giovinco in Serie A, and there is Vucinic on the bench, and the other is needless to say, Balotelli, who is familiar to Manchester City.

However, Balotelli's current performance in Serie A is not particularly good, scoring only one goal in three league games, and Juventus is in good form up front with Giovinco.

Looking at the Juventus lineup, Li Feng found that there are really a lot of acquaintances in this Juventus team, and Li Feng's main opponents in this game are Vidal and Marchisio.

Even the referee is an acquaintance from Proenza, Portugal, and with the whistle blowing, Manchester City's Champions League group stage journey this season officially began.

Captain Kompany got the kick-off, so the opening attack belonged to Manchester City, Dzeko pushed forward, Van Persie took the ball and knocked his heel lightly, the ball rolled off the center circle and came to the feet of Li Feng in the backfield.

Balotelli immediately rushed over after seeing Li Feng get the ball, you know, when he was in Manchester City, Balotelli was quite unhappy to be suppressed by Li Feng, and he was also very angry about Li Feng's treatment in the team, and he wanted to resist the counterattack during the period, but unfortunately it did not succeed in the end.

Now that he has become an enemy, Balotelli has no scruples, rushing towards Li Feng, wanting to break the ball at his feet, but unfortunately, Balotelli is obviously a little overwhelmed by this.

Even a defensive player is extremely difficult to break the ball at Li Feng's feet, let alone an offensive player like Balotelli, who is notoriously undefensive.

A light feint deceived Balotelli, however, Balotelli was not reconciled, and when Li Feng deceived him and was about to attack Juventus in the half, Balotelli directly reached out and fouled Li Feng.

"Shh~~~~" The Etihad Stadium suddenly booed, but this did not make the referee take out the card, after all, the game had just begun, and the referee could not take out the card immediately.

However, on the sidelines, Juventus' acting head coach Carrera was quite annoyed, and as soon as his ass made contact with the coach's box, he immediately jumped up, and then yelled at Balotelli.

"Oh oh oh~~~ It seems that Carrera can't suppress Balotelli, look, in the face of the head coach's roar, the unhappiness on Balotelli's face is quite obvious."

The set-piece was taken and the game restarted, and Li Feng gave the ball to Yaya Toure, who immediately understood what Li Feng meant, and used himself as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Juventus midfielder.

Marchisio, who stood in front of Yaya Toure, is also the only Italian midfielder who has remained at Juventus since the 09-10 season.

Yaya Toure was strong, Marchisio decisively caught up, and the two wrestled near the middle circle, Yaya Toure's skills were okay, but Marchisio was not a vegetarian, so the two were entangled for a while, and in the end, no one could help anyone.

At this time, Clichy moved, Marchisio was attracted to Yaya Toure, the wing defense was suddenly empty, Klicy decisively stepped forward, and Yaya Toure immediately split the side.

However, before Klich could take two steps, Lichtsteiner stopped in front of Klich, speed, Klich wanted to use his speed to break through the opponent, but unfortunately, the latter's speed was not slow, so Klich chose to pass.

Horizontal pass will be in the middle, and at this moment, the Juventus half-court player has already become Li Feng, it should be said that Li Feng has not stopped, advancing towards the Juventus half.

Raise his right foot, control the ball, and then look at Vidal not far in front of him, Li Feng has made great progress in recent years, and now he is faintly known as the world's No. 1 midfielder.

But Li Feng knows that the guy in front of him has made a lot of progress, if Li Feng already has the trend of being the world's No. 1 midfielder, then Vidal is the No. 1 midfielder in Serie A.

In the tactical conference room before the game, Van Basten reminded the Manchester City players to be careful of Vidal, this guy is not only solid and tough in defense, but also extremely decisive in attack, not only with the skills of South American players, but also the physical fitness and execution of European players, and his long-range shooting ability is at a first-class level.

Li Feng tried to break through, but Vidal did not give Li Feng a chance, the two sides know each other, Manchester City understands Juventus, Li Feng understands Vidal, and vice versa.

In this case, Li Feng chose to pass the ball again, Silva was prepared, immediately got up and crossed, Dzeko and Van Persie rushed into the box at the same time, but in the end it was Bonucci who touched the ball, but Manchester City still won a corner, Bonucci cleared and flew out of the bottom line.

Silva took a corner and Kompany fought for the first point, but unfortunately, Kompany's header was too slow to fly towards goal, and Buffon flew away, ending City's first attack. (To be continued.) )
