After the game began, Barcelona played the ball control tactics they were good at.

Although it was away, Barcelona was not in a hurry to attack. They took the opportunity of kickoff to keep the football firmly under their feet and then dealt with Manchester City.

When they don't find a great opportunity, they won't easily use shots to complete an attack.

When facing Barcelona like this, Manchester City is not in a hurry. They launched the defensive counterattack that they are best at.

Manchester City likes to play against Barcelona the most, but they don’t like to play against Real Madrid because Real Madrid is like them, but Barcelona plays offensive football. Teams that defend and counterattack like to meet teams with big offensive football, so that their defensive counterattack can come in handy.

Barcelona did not rush to attack, and Manchester City did not rush to rob. They defended their defensive positions and then let Barcelona go back and forth from outside. Anyway, they could not threaten Manchester City's goal.

In order to deal with Barcelona, ​​Manchester City has specially practiced how to defend this kind of foot-inverting tactic.

That is to keep the defense stable and don't let Barcelona's back and forth fall down Manchester City's defense line faint. Many teams concede the ball when facing Barcelona, ​​and often the defense line is torn open by Barcelona's back and forth passes, and Barcelona finds a loophole.

Barcelona passed back and forth for five minutes, and had to pass each other for more than 30 strokes. If they could find a loophole in Manchester City's defense line at this time and scored a goal, it would definitely be the team goal with the most backshots. Although it may not be considered exciting...

However, Barcelona has not yet found a loophole in Manchester City's defense line.

Manchester City's defense is very steady.

Barcelona have long been prepared for such a situation, and they do not only rely on passing the ball to attack.

This is also why Messi is very important to Barcelona.

When the pass cannot tear the opponent's defense line, a personal breakthrough will be like a sharp knife, directly piercing the opponent's defense line!

Messi's personal skills are the ultimate solution to problems.

So when Barcelona fell for five minutes and had not found a good opportunity, Messi began to become active.

Before, he was more of a part of the team's delivery.

Now, his component is about to stand out and become a lonely hero.

Xavi passed the football to Messi.

After receiving the ball, Messi did not pass the ball again, but made a fake pass, and then accelerated and broke through suddenly!

He threw away Gareth Barry, who came to defend him, and rushed into the penalty area.

"Messi!" the Catalan narrator cheered.

At the same time, John Mortson exclaimed.

Messi's breakthrough is what everyone fears the most. It is like an atomic bomb, with a strong deterrence.

Seeing Messi breaking through, many teams' defenses are in chaos.

Even Manchester City, who has played against Barcelona many times in the past two seasons, is a little embarrassed when facing Messi's breakthrough.

In the end, Godin interfered with Messi with the help of Alba, causing Messi to skew a little while shooting, and the football flew directly out of the baseline.

A huge breathing sound rang out from the stands at Manchester City Stadium - Manchester City fans were also startled.

"It's so dangerous! Manchester City almost lost the ball!" John Motterson was also feeling a little scared as he spoke.

"Messi is in good shape this season. He lost to Rongguang in the finals and scorer list last season, which may have deeply stimulated him..." Alan Hansen analyzed.

"Messi is a very excellent player, of course, Rong Guang is also!" He Ping said. "Whenever this happens, I feel like 'Who is born in Yu, and Liang'... But at the same time, it is also the luck of us fans who can directly talk to each other. The debate about which Pele and Maradona is more powerful has continued in every corner of the world, but no one can convince the other party to accept their views. Because Pele and Maradona are not players of the same time and space, which of them is more powerful is a bit similar to Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong. However, such a debate is difficult to happen to Rong Guang and Messi, because the repeated collisions between them are enough to tell us who is stronger!"

He Ping's words will definitely arouse dissatisfaction from some Messi fans, but who cares about their ideas? He is a commentator of China's National Television. All he can see is Chinese. As a Chinese, he naturally has to support his compatriots, so it is natural that he thinks that glory is stronger than Messi. If someone thinks what he said is wrong, it should be that Messi is stronger than glory, that is, there is a problem with his brain...

Barcelona's offense is finally over, and it's Manchester City's turn to take the ball.

Joe Hart didn't kick the football in the frontcourt with a big foot, and that wouldn't be guaranteed to keep the football under his feet.

Moreover, it is meaningless to launch an attack with a big foot. Barcelona players have already returned to the defense, and a big foot drive is not considered a fast attack.

He passed the football to Godin.

But that's exactly what Barcelona hopes to see.

Barcelona's tactics have several characteristics. In addition to passing back and forth, when defending, Barcelona often adopts high-pressure defense tactics. They frantically rush to surround in the frontcourt, forcing their opponents to make mistakes in their backcourt control, giving Barcelona the opportunity to directly intercept the ball and attack.

So in fact, Barcelona's tactics are not fast, but they consume very physical energy, because Barcelona players almost ran throughout the game and never stopped.

Of course, Barcelona players have good physical fitness and can support them in this way.

Seeing Joe Hart pass the football to Godin, Sanchez rushed up and wanted to break Godin's ball.

Manchester City and Barcelona have faced each other twice in the past two seasons and played three games. How could they not understand these characteristics of Barcelona?

So Godin did not wait for Sanchez to rush forward. After receiving the ball, he directly passed the ball to the feet of full-back Sabaleta.

Zabaleta faces Fabregas' defense.

However, Zabaleta did not stop the ball. He directly passed the ball from Godin to the front and gave it to Glory on the side.

Rongguang retreated from the front to pick up Sabaleta, and he received the ball.

Seeing him catch the ball, Manchester City fans in the stands cheered.

Barcelona has Messi, and our Manchester City has glory too!

After Glory received the ball, he turned around and faced the Barcelona player Busques who came to defend him.

Rongguang pulled the ball to the left with his right foot.

Buzks followed and turned to the middle, thinking that Glory was going to change to the middle.

But at this moment, Rongguang jumped up and knocked the football to the right with the heel of the left foot!

After landing, the glory changed rapidly and passed by Busques who turned to the middle lane!

He caught up with football and threw Busquets away.

"Oh oh oh! Beautiful change of direction! Under Rong's dexterity, Busques is as clumsy as a rusty robot!"

The glory of dribbling along the side road rushed to the thirty-meter area of ​​Barcelona.

There is a weakness in the tactic of high-pressure defense, that is, when their people are keen on fighting in the midfield and frontcourt, their backcourt is relatively empty, with only one defense line, four defenders and one goalkeeper...

For Glory, such a half can be considered empty and can be played.

After Rongguang completely threw away Busques, he adjusted his direction and dribbled the ball into the middle.

He is about to meet Pique.

Faced with the assault of glory, Pique has already settled.

Facing Pique, Rong Guang's right shoulder sank down, and at the same time, his right foot also kicked the football, which seemed to be a change of direction and breaking through Pique's outside.

So Pique's center of gravity moved over there.

But Rongguang's right foot did not hit the football, but just shot it behind the football and stepped on the ground.

But Pique did not think that Rong Guang was a fake move, because he saw Rong Guang's left foot and kicked the football again...

Pique thought Rongguang must have planned to use the previous fake shot of his right foot to deceive him, making him think that it was fake to break out, so that when his left foot buckles the football outside, he would not have time to react.

Then Pique had seen through everything long ago. When he saw Rong Guang's left foot move, he firmly continued to tilt the outside line.

As a result, when his center of gravity was tilted towards the outside line with his body, he saw that Rong Guang's left foot did not hit the football, but stopped gently behind the football.

Rongguang didn't touch the football with both feet, so the football rolled forward according to the original schedule and rolled over Pique's side.

And what about glory?

He also chased the football and ran over Pique.

Pique was frozen in place due to inertia, looking like a scarecrow. He could not do anything except for being a good person...

※※※

"Rong! He rushed over! Ohoh! It's so relaxed! What's wrong with Pique? He didn't make any defensive moves!"

Amid the cheers of Manchester City fans, Rong Guang brought the football over Pique. Commentator John Mortson was a little surprised because he didn't expect Pique to be so easy...

But at this time, I didn't go into the deepest quest for why Pique didn't make defensive moves at all and let the glory go.

After passing Pique's glory, the next thing I face is Puyol.

The captain of Barcelona, ​​a man like a mad dog, can freeze the fat "alien" Ronaldo one-on-one at his peak.

The never-give-up run is his signature to defend as tenacious as candy.

Faced with such a difficult central defender, Rongguang did not make any fake moves. He just used his right instep to rush the football to the ball when he caught up with the football!

The football rolled over Puyol quickly.

Glory is followed closely by!

Puyol conditioned and reached out to pull the Glory's jersey.

But Rongguang's sprinting speed was too fast. His hand stretched out, but only grabbed the gust of wind caused by Rongguang's running...

He turned around and saw the back of Rong Guang who had swept the football into the penalty area...

Speed, too fast!

"Rong Rong Rong Rong Rong Rong!! It's so fast! Under his forced breakthrough, Puyor can do nothing! Now he has entered the penalty area!!"

In the stands at Manchester City Stadium, all Manchester City fans have stood up.

They stared at the glory, looking forward to what would happen next.

Rong Guang, who rushed into the penalty area, did not continue to dribble the ball and approach the goalkeeper, but directly shot!

The football was rubbed in an arc by him, bypassed Valdes, and flew into the goal from the far post...

The ball has entered!
Chapter completed!
