At Shevchenko's age and having experienced so many ups and downs, many things have long been looked down upon.
His ambition for supremacy, especially when facing Su Dong, has basically faded away.
As he said, he strained his back and took more than a month off this year. He thought about it clearly and let go of many things.
He is now focused on enjoying the game.
Especially a game like tonight that can be watched by fans all over Europe and even the world.
Only one minute into the game, Dynamo Kiev left midfielder Yarmolenko broke through from the left and passed the ball to the goal. Shevchenko shrewdly shook off Kompany and David Luiz.
Rushed to the door to grab some.
But unfortunately, Shevchenko's shot missed slightly.
"The temperature in Kiev is very low. It's raining again tonight, and the local temperature has dropped below freezing."
"Manchester City traveled a long distance to play away from home again, and after the opening game, Dynamo Kiev took an advantage."
Su Dong let out a heavy breath, raised his hands high, clapped vigorously, and encouraged the teammates around him.
At the same time, he also looked at Shevchenko who was walking back, and the latter happened to look over and smiled.
show off!
Su Dong has no doubt about Shevchenko's state of mind at this moment, but he also knows that Dynamo Kiev is not easy to deal with.
In this kind of long-distance away expedition, the most terrifying opponent always comes from the court, but consumption and fatigue.
This is still the case when Manchester City chooses to charter a flight.
If we didn’t charter a flight, it would take twenty hours to go from Manchester to Amsterdam and then to Kiev, and that would only kill anyone!
However, Dynamo Kyiv's attack after the opening and Shevchenko's shot made Su Dong excited.
After all, he is also the senior who I looked up to in the past!
…
Manchester City quickly stabilized their position and organized an attack.
Marcelo dribbled the ball through the center line and quickly handed it to Di Maria.
The Argentine winger moved inside and passed to David Silva, who then passed the ball back to the left.
At this time, Marcelo had already marched straight in, striding toward the baseline, catching up with the ball, and then passed the ball directly.
In the middle of the penalty area, Su Dong quickly followed up, squeezed away the Dynamo Kyiv center defender with his shoulder, faced Marcelo's cross, stood firm with his left foot, and volleyed directly with his right foot.
A bang was heard at the scene. Su Dong quickly kicked out a powerful and heavy volley, and the ball went straight to the right side of the goal.
The goalkeeper of Dynamo Kyiv reacted quickly and made a side dive to save the ball from the baseline.
Corner kick!
The fans at the Nobarovsky Stadium screamed in surprise.
Manchester City's attack was also very threatening and almost resulted in a goal.
The subsequent corner kick also created chaos in the Dynamo Kiev penalty area. David Luiz's pompous head hit the ball, and the ball was headed high.
When walking back, Su Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed two handfuls on the Brazilian central defender's bird's nest-like fluffy head. It felt pretty good.
…
Subsequently, the two teams exchanged offense and defense, but neither team could take advantage.
Manchester City had the ball, but Dynamo Kyiv performed very steadily at home and counterattacked sharply.
Su Dong and Shevchenko, the two respective stars, also performed very well and created several threats.
But overall, Manchester City did not play their best.
On the one hand, it was the exhaustion of traveling long distances, and on the other hand, it was really too cold on site.
Compared with Manchester, the temperature is nearly ten degrees different.
But in the 19th minute, Marcelo dribbled the ball on the left rib and tried to attack forward, causing a foul and giving Manchester City a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.
Su Dong stepped out without hesitation and took the free kick.
Under Shevchenko's nose, Su Dong penetrated Dynamo Kiev's goal with a precise and beautiful drop ball.
Goalkeeper Shovkovsky had absolutely no way to deal with Su Dong's shot.
One to zero!
But less than eight minutes after Manchester City scored, it was another counterattack by Dynamo Kyiv and Yarmolenko's cross from the left. Shevchenko caught the gap between Kompany and David Luiz.
In the neutral position, he cleverly shot in front of the goal, equalizing the score for Dynamo Kyiv, one to one!
Subsequently, no matter how the two teams created opportunities, in the end they were unable to score again.
Manchester City ended up drawing 1-1 away from home with Dynamo Kiev.
…
After the game, Su Dong accepted an interview with UEFA.
He expressed satisfaction with the result of this game.
"We all know that such an away game is very difficult. Being able to escape one-on-one is a satisfactory result for us. We are confident that we can win against our opponent at home."
Regarding Manchester City's plans for this season, Su Dong said that the team will do its best to remain competitive on multiple fronts.
"We are a young, honor-hungry team. The players in the team are eager to succeed. This is the team's biggest motivation, so we will do our best to compete for every championship trophy."
At present, Manchester City is competing on three fronts, the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League. The official UEFA reporter asked, which championship does Sudong personally prefer?
"I have never won any of these three trophies," Su Dong said with a smile.
"Actually, when I was playing for Sporting Lisbon, I won the UEFA Cup, which is the predecessor of the Europa League, but after the restructuring, I have not won the Europa League, as well as the Premier League and FA Cup."
"To be honest, I'm not a person who likes to do multiple-choice questions, so I want them all!"
In addition, Su Dong also specially praised his senior Shevchenko, believing that he was very threatening in the game and scored Dynamo Kyiv's only goal.
"Whether it is before the game, at halftime, or after the game, I remind our defensive players that Shevchenko is the most threatening player, and this will still be the case in the second round at our home court!"
…
When Manchester City was defeated in Kiev, the British media The Sun not only reported on the game itself, but also broke an additional piece of news.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Begiristain, who traveled with the team, secretly met with a senior executive of Shakhtar Donetsk in Kiev on the day of the game.
Of course, The Sun didn't take it for granted. They took photos of Begiristan when he met him.
"If you want to talk about the most surprising teams in the Champions League this season, Lucescu's Shakhtar Donetsk is definitely one of them."
"The Ukrainian leader not only performed well in the group stage, but even though they suffered a disastrous 1-5 away defeat to Arsenal, they immediately changed colors after returning to Ukraine and lost 2-1."
"More importantly, in the two rounds of the knockout round of the top 16, the Ukrainian team defeated the Italian Red Wolves Roma 3-2 and 3-0 respectively, and entered the Champions League quarter-finals with their heads high."
Today's Shakhtar Donetsk team is full of monsters. In addition to right backs like Srna that even Ferguson coveted, there are also forwards like Eduardo, who broke his leg at Arsenal and briefly played for Barcelona.
Zygrinski, the central defender, etc.
At present, in this monster team, the most concerned young talents are the most popular. Brazilian winger Willian, who just scored twice in the game against Roma, talented winger Douglas Costa and Teixe.
La, forward Luis Adriano, midfielder Fernandinho, and creative midfielder Mkhitaryan.
It can be said that this is a team with outstanding strength, and it is no accident that it can reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The Sun only photographed Begiristain meeting with the top executives of Shakhtar Donetsk, but it is not known who Manchester City is interested in, but the guess is that it should be one of Willian, Douglas Costa and Teixeira.
"Currently, the only wingers Guardiola really trusts are Di Maria and Sanchez. The youngster Sterling has had many opportunities to come off the bench, but he is too young to be entrusted with important tasks for the time being."
"Adam Johnson is a typical English winger. He is fast and has strong straight-line sprinting ability, but his combination of man and ball is very poor. After he came on, he did not help Manchester City's frontcourt offense. On the contrary, it sometimes seriously hindered the team.
cooperation.”
"Guardiola has always wanted to introduce a winger with superior strength to further strengthen the team's bench. From the current point of view, William, Douglas Costa and Teixeira are all very suitable candidates."
But The Sun also believes that Guardiola is also very interested in French Ligue 1 Lille's core player Eden Hazard. He believes that this player has extraordinary talent and is a talent that any team is eager to acquire.
As The Sun broke the news, major British media also followed suit.
Due to Shakhtar Donetsk's outstanding performance this season, it is not only Manchester City who are eyeing their players.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are also coveting Shakhtar players, and a new round of player competition is ready.
After all, summer transfer deals are often initially targeted in February or March.
The British Times even broke the news, saying that Su Dong has performed very well this season, but he is also very tired. He is almost dragging Manchester City forward by himself, which consumes a lot of money.
Manchester City now hopes to build a strong attacking lineup around Su Dong, which will greatly relieve Su Dong's pressure and allow him to focus more on scoring goals. Therefore, this summer, Manchester City's recruitment focus will be on the frontcourt, especially the wingers.
Location.
"According to reliable information, Manchester City will introduce at least one high-level winger this summer. Guardiola has officially submitted the transfer list, and Begiristain is also in contact with the other party. This is how the top leaders of Ukraine and Shakhtar Donetsk came together.
meet."
Manchester City has remained silent regarding the revelations made by the British media and has not provided clarification to the outside world.
But many people know that if it were not for the restriction of local youth training players, Guardiola sincerely hopes to replace most of the English players in the team and replace them all with the players he wants.
This can not only improve the overall strength of the team, but also save a lot of management trouble.
But this is obviously inconsistent with reality.
Although Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and Bridge were purged, players such as Milner and Leighton Baines were also introduced, plus local youth training such as Sterling and Trippier.
Manchester City currently has enough local youth training places.
The club can also free up some positions and bring in the players the team needs.
