In the early morning of April 27, Beijing time, the first leg of the 2021-22 Champions League semi-final: Manchester City vs Real Madrid. On their second visit to England this season, Real Madrid failed to win another big win, after all, the opponent is the biggest favorite to win the title. Manchester City had the opportunity to usher in a big victory at home, and finally killed a thousand self-inflicted losses of eight hundred, only to win 4:3, because the opponent has the strongest striker of the moment, Benzema.
In the early morning of April 28, Beijing time, the second matchday of the first leg of the semi-finals, Liverpool vs Villarreal, the same is the British and Spanish showdown, what will be the result?
Huang Qian is not Real Madrid, there is no Benzema in the squad, but there is Danjuma!
After the departure of C Ronaldo, Real Madrid has been in the Champions League for many years, this season can be a strong semi-final, the first leg away to Manchester City, although lost, but also got a result that made the second leg full of hope, in the past, just 3 away goals are enough to give Guardiola a headache. It's because Benzema is too tough.
And Villarreal can advance to the same group as Manchester United and Atalanta, and then cut juve and Bayern in the knockout stage, Danjuma is also indispensable.
In the first game of the group stage, 2-2 at home to Atalanta, Danjuma scored the second goal. In the 4th round, 2-0 at home to the youngsters, Danjuma scored another goal. In the final round, he beat Atalanta 3-2 away to win the promotion "life and death battle", and Danjuma scored twice.
In the second leg of the quarter-finals, he beat Juve 3-0 away to advance, and Danjuma scored a penalty.
In the quarterfinals against Bayern, he won 1:0 at home and drew 1:1 away, scoring the winning goal in the first leg by Danjuma.
Danjuma has scored six goals in the Champions League this season, not a key, but the goal of winning 1-0 against Bayern in the first leg of the quarter-finals is worth a lot.
Born on January 31, 1997, Danjuma is 178cm tall, has dual citizenship of the Netherlands and Nigeria, and as a Dutch international, he does not get many opportunities in the Dutch national team. Debuted in the youth academy at Eindhoven, but did not get the opportunity, from July 2016 to Nijmegen, Bruges, Bournemouth. In the summer window last year, Villarreal brought in Danjuma from Championship side Bournemouth, and the transfer fee of 23.5 million euros is not high, but it is not cheap for Villarreal.
It turns out that Emery is a discerning "Zhu", Danjuma has played 33 games for Huang this season, contributing 16 goals and 4 assists, and is the team's first scorer. La Liga has scored 10 goals, on par with Depay, and higher than Aubameyang, Felix, Dembele and others.
In early April, Danjuma said in an interview: "Look at how I have performed this season, it is fair to say that I am already one of the best wingers in the world. I'll still improve, I believe in myself. ”
Danjuma, Liverpool and Manchester United have all had rumors that Villarreal would lose a good winger if transferred, but Danjuma would leave Huang Qian with a considerable transfer income. Danjuma's contract has a €75 million termination clause, which took effect this summer.
Compared to the forwards, Emery is certainly not as good as Klopp, but Danjuma is not a vegetarian either. Liverpool's defence is also far from leak-free. If Liverpool lose Salah or Mane, Danjuma will be a good replacement, and the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool is also a battle for Danjuma to submit a "name".
