Chapter 607: The showdown between the La Liga champion and the Premier League champion
In the other match that ended at the same time, Japan beat Iraq 1-0 at home.
As a result, after four rounds of the top 10 matches, the Chinese team 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 was at the bottom with 1 point.
China and Japan are gradually widening the gap with the rest of the world.
Australia, in particular, joined the AFC because it thought that the Asian region would be good to qualify, but now it seems likely that it will not qualify.
Of course, there are a total of ten rounds in the top 10, and it has only been four rounds, and it is still early, Australia still has a chance to turn the tables, and it cannot be said that China and Japan will definitely be able to occupy the top two and qualify directly.
After playing the top 10 matches, Real Madrid returned to Spain, and Real Madrid ushered in the fourth round of La Liga.
On September 15, in the 4th round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away against Sevilla.
Because it was the first round of the Champions League group stage with Manchester City three days later, Mourinho had reservations in this game, and only a few limited main players such as Lu Wenbin were played.
Real Madrid played a tough game in this game.
Perhaps it's because many players have played in the national team, including on the bench. Coming back is playing away again, exhausted.
Perhaps there is also the fact that the team won the treble last season, and the lack of fighting spirit of the players this season is in it.
With a bit of luck, the team was held to a 2-2 draw away from home to Sevilla.
If it weren't for Lu Wenbin's goal and an assist, Real Madrid would have even lost the game.
Fortunately, Real Madrid finally retreated from the away stadium with Lu Wenbin's pass and shot, keeping their unbeaten golden body, and the unbeaten number of La Liga games extended to 46 games.
Next, it's time for the Champions League group stage, which the world is watching: Real Madrid vs Manchester City.
Needless to say, Real Madrid is full of superstars, including Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Di Maria, Alonso, Ramos, Casillas, etc., these names alone are enough to attract countless fans to watch the game.
Manchester City, on the other hand, is mainly their financial resources and the status of the new Premier League champions.
Last season, with Sergio Aguero's goal, Manchester City beat Queens Park Rangers in the last minute of stoppage time to win the Premier League title by virtue of goal difference.
This is Manchester City's first Premier League title, the fifth in the 20-year history of the Premier League, and the first time in 44 years since 1968 that Manchester City have won the English top flight.
The biggest reason for Manchester City's turnaround is that it was acquired by the Abu Dhabi consortium, a Middle Eastern consortium.
Since the Abu Dhabi consortium took over, Manchester City have invested heavily in the transfer market every season, bringing in quality stars, revamping their squad, and finally winning their first Premier League title last season.
Now, Manchester City has Joe Hart, McConn, Yaya Toure, Tevez, Dzeko, Kompany, Xavi Garcia, Aguero and other powerful superstars, and their strength is not inferior to Manchester United, Bayern, Barcelona and other European giants.
The only thing that is inferior is the lack of Champions League titles.
Therefore, Manchester City is still an oil upstart in the eyes of fans, not a giant.
Despised as an upstart by the outside world, Manchester City is naturally full of hunger for the Champions League from top to bottom. was assigned to the group of death, and was forced to a dead end.
Therefore, even if it is away from the Galaxy battleship Real Madrid, Manchester City must be united and desperately fight with Real Madrid.
At 20:45 on the evening of September 18, at the Bernabeu Stadium, in the eyes of countless fans on the scene and in front of TVs around the world, with the referee's whistle, the first round of the 2012/2013 Champions League group stage Group D match between Real Madrid and Manchester City officially began.
Real Madrid is 4,231 while Manchester City is 4,321, and the defense of the back four is more thorough than Real Madrid.
In the 7th minute, Khedira cut off the ball from forward Dzeko, and Real Madrid counterattacked. As a result, Lu Wenbin's dribble broke through just past the halfway line, and was cut off by Barry and Yaya Toure together.
In the 14th minute, Lu Wenbin no longer used individual breakthroughs, but played a quick pass with his teammates, and finally got a chance to shoot from a distance on the line of the big forbidden area.
As a result, the heavy artillery bombardment that went straight to the dead end this time was stabbed out of the bottom line by Joe Hart's flying save.
Neurotic Joe Hart made a brilliant world-class save.
Joe Hart, the goalkeeper for the England national team, is indeed a bit neurotic.
When you play well, you don't lose to the world's top door gods. When he makes a mistake, he will also make people want to kick him a few times in person.
As a result, now Lu Wenbin meets Joe Hart, who is brave, and he can't help but say that his luck is a little mildew.
When Yaya Toure, Joe Hart and others were firmly guarding the goal, Dzeko, Aguero and others in front were not idle.
Despite the smaller numbers, Dzeko, Aguero and others have been given some good opportunities with their strong individual abilities.
In the 18th minute, forward Dzeko sent a good ball through the Real Madrid backline, and Aguero completed a close-range goalmouth tackle before Ramos.
Casillas didn't have time to fall to the ground to save, subconsciously stretched his legs, and was very lucky to block the close tackle out of the goal, and then was kicked out of the forbidden area by Pepe, who was back to the defense.
Casillas also made a crucial save.
In the group of death, both sides fought fiercely. It's not just a technical competition, but also a physical confrontation.
In the 22nd minute, Khedira and Manchester City striker Nasri had a fierce air collision, both of them lay on the ground for half a day without getting up, and only resumed the game after treatment by the team doctors of both sides.
However, Nasri was more injured and could not hold on by the 36th minute, and was replaced by Mancini with Kolarov before the first half was played.
As a result, Kolarov made a mistake just a few minutes after he came on the court.
In the 41st minute, Manchester City's attack, Aguero had already run out of space, but Kolarov, who held the ball, did not pass the ball, and wanted to break through Pepe's defense and shoot into the forbidden area.
As a result, Pepe saw the opportunity to make a tackle on the ground, which knocked him to the ground with the ball, and the ball was also tackled by Pepe to Alonso, who was returning to the defense.
Real Madrid played a quick counterattack, Alonso found Benzema with an accurate long pass, Benzema took the ball and crossed the side, and Lu Wenbin inserted a violent long-range shot at the top of the arc in the forbidden area, and finally penetrated Joe Hart's ten fingers.
According to the statistics after the game, the speed of the ball reached more than 128 km/h, so 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 to take a 1-0 lead at home to Manchester City.
And the root cause of the goal conceded came from Kolarov. If he hadn't stuck the ball and passed to Aguero earlier, not only would he not have been broken and the ball would have been counter-attacked, but it would have been possible for Aguero to score.
Therefore, football pays attention to teamwork, even if it is Lu Wenbin, sometimes he needs the support of his teammates.
If you want to score goals in a row by one person, you don't have that kind of good thing in every game.
