The gunpowder smelled quite strong before the game.

If anyone least wants to see such a tense confrontation between the two teams, then it must be the police responsible for maintaining public order. The atmosphere before the game was so hot and the hatred between the two sides was pulled up, which was very dangerous. If it was not strictly controlled, a slight amount of Mars could cause a volcanic eruption.

When the fans of both sides were at a strife outside, the players on both sides had already appeared and started to warm up.

This game was Van Basten's debut as a head coach in Manchester City, and it was also the biggest focus of attention in this game except for the second round of the showdown between Zhang Yang and Messi.

Guardiola and Van Basten are the flag stars of both sides during the Barcelona Dream Team and the Milan Dynasty.

Van Basten walked out of the players' corridor and watched the players' warm-up. He met his old friend Guardiola on the sidelines.

"Malco, welcome to the Camp Nou. After winning the game, I will treat you to a meal." Guardiola said. The implication is, I'm sorry, I want to make your debut as Manchester City head coach unhappy.

"Ha Pep." Van Basten also responded to the other party with a smile, "You are becoming sharp now."

"Is there any?" Guardiola scratched his head. He was indeed not the kind of particularly aggressive cock.

"Of course, don't you think?" Van Basten laughed. "We will do our best in this game."

"Barcelona is invincible on this stadium," Guardiola said.

"That's not necessarily." Van Basten said without hesitation.

Neither of these two people are the current Inter Milan coach Mourinho who will curse for 300 rounds before the game. So, although there is a sign of separation, they are still quite restrained and they are old friends after all.

The two of them simply said "hello" and went to see the warm-up situation of their team. To outsiders, Van Basten and Guardiola were just talking and talking happily, and old friends reminiscing about the past, but they didn't know that the smoke of gunpowder had already filled.

Van Basten is still very happy to be able to coach Manchester City. The team is now on a good rise. What makes Van Basten most satisfied is that the team has a group of top stars such as Zhang Yang. In addition, Manchester City is rich, and Alfaim has also assured Van Basten that transfer funds are not a problem.

However, Van Basten has just taken the lead in the Manchester City team, and he needs further understanding of the characteristics of each player. He walked to the sidelines to carefully observe the team's warm-up status and understand first-hand information. Whoever is in good condition and whose mentality is not right... This is the last opportunity for adjustment. When the game starts, if you want to adjust, you have to occupy three substitutions.

The players performed well, Van Basten nodded, these kids were not bad. In the unfavorable situation of the team's 2-2 at home and the situation of just changing coaches, most of Manchester City's players' mentality was still stable. This made Van Basten less worried. He knew that this was Zhang Yang's role. Although Zhang Yang was only twenty-four years old, his prestige in this team was already extremely high. As far as Van Basten knew, at such a "turbulent" moment, Zhang Yang convened the whole team to hold a small meeting to stabilize the morale of the army.

The player has great prestige in the locker room. For the head coach, it is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that he has a united locker room and the team will be free from the possibility of infighting. The bad thing is that in this case, something that may violate the head coach's authority.

Everything has a good side and a bad side. Van Basten naturally sees this. After all, Mark Hughes’s experience is a lesson. Of course, Van Basten has his own pride. He doesn’t think he will be Mark Hughes second. Moreover, he has communicated and exchanged with Zhang Yang. Judging from the current situation, Van Basten is quite satisfied. This is the beginning of a good cooperation, isn’t it?

Now, we need to use champions and glory to enhance this kind of cooperation and rapport.

Teves kicked the football to Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang took advantage of the situation and the football entered the net.

He nodded himself, his feet were good, and he was very satisfied.

Zhang Yang put his waist on his back and looked up at the fans in the stands. The stands at Camp Nou were already full of seats, with Barcelona fans accounting for about tenths. It looked like a whole piece of red and blue. The blue that belonged to Manchester City gathered in a corner, surrounded by a sea of ​​"red main color". It looked so powerful.

However, although Manchester City fans are not large, they have a large momentum. There is a layer of police protection around these Manchester City fans, separating them from Barcelona fans. Under the heavy protection of the police, Manchester City fans are not afraid of the unfriendly booing and hostile gazes made by the home fans, and sang Manchester City's battle songs in their own stands.

Zhang Yang smiled, he waved his arms towards the direction of Manchester City fans, and the singing of Manchester City fans became louder.

Of course, there was a booing sound from the stands with more crowds, which was of course directed at him. Barcelona fans didn't like Zhang Yang very much.

Zhang Yang didn't care about these boos. He even turned around and shook his fingers at the fans with bad expressions. Now, Barcelona fans became even more upset and the boos became stronger.

Zhang Yang was happy. The holiday between him and Barcelona fans was not resolved, and he had no intention of solving it. In this game, he was destined to make Barcelona fans unhappy... Zhang Yang doesn't want to lose to Messi! Then he must work hard to lead Manchester City over the hurdle of defending champions.

After warming up and returning to the locker room, Van Basten once again added some game details. About five minutes later, it was time to play.

When the visiting Manchester City team's name began to be read on the live broadcast, boos were heard everywhere, and when the Manchester City team captain Zhang Yang's name was read, the boos reached a peak.

When shaking hands with Barcelona players as usual, Zhang Yang felt a deep hostility. Obviously, the whole team did not like him in this opponent's team.

Zhang Yang has repeatedly spoken rudely to Barcelona, ​​and this team has long been very dissatisfied with this.

Zhang Yang curled his lips and ignored it at all. He has been playing professional football for so many years and is not scared. Moreover, he has a point of view that his opponent hates you because he is afraid of you.

Zhang Yang sneered. His disdainful attitude reached its peak when he shook hands with Messi. His eyes were always staring at the other party coldly. This was not a very polite attitude, and it also made the Argentinian feel uncomfortable all over. The Manchester City captain's eyes seemed to have thorns, as if he was about to pierce a few holes in his body.

Messi doesn’t like Zhang Yang very much. He is a humble person. Few people can make Messi angry. Obviously, Zhang Yang is such a person!

Therefore, Messi just shook hands with Zhang Yang and let go. The Argentine used this method to express his dislike for Zhang Yang.

When Zhang Yang shook hands with Messi, more than 30 cameras on the entire stadium were staring at them. The facial expressions of the two people and their slight movements were faithfully broadcast to fans all over the world.

"This is an era of many geniuses. Zhang Yang and Messi are undoubtedly the best among them. These two people seem to be born with opponents." Leinker said with emotion.

Barcelona is not conservative at home. In fact, Barcelona is like this. They play their own football and they will not make any changes because of their opponents, because Barcelona firmly believes that as long as they insist on playing their football, they are the most powerful and the greatest team.

At the beginning of the game, Messi got a good chance.

This is Xavi control of the ball in the frontcourt and is trying to pass it to Messi, but suddenly pass it to Iniesta. The latter dribbled the ball, which attracted the defensive attention of at least three Manchester City players, and suddenly passed the ball out.

Messi suddenly made a cold arrow at the front of the penalty area, and the ball was only a little higher than the upper left corner of the goal.

This attack also made the stands of Camp Nou stadium cheer loudly.

"Barcelona is in a state very quickly. It seems difficult for Manchester City to turn the tables." The commentator shook his head and said.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart took the ball out. He passed the ball to Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai stopped the ball, and when he saw Messi pounce, he passed the ball to Kompani. Messi pounced at Kompani again, and the latter passed it back to Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai passed to Marklele again and continued to run forward, as if he wanted to cooperate with Marklele with two passes and one wall.

Barcelona's defense return speed was still very fast. Iniesta immediately stepped forward and approached Maclale. Sun Jihai indeed passed the ball to Maclale.

There is a saying in football that Marklele almost never dribbles the ball across the half-court, and Iniesta knows this, so it is also a symbolic press. Sure enough, seeing Iniesta come to press, Marklele passes the ball to Sabaleta.

Boyan immediately came up and beat Sabaleta.

Sabaleta did not catch the ball, he just made a catch move, then turned around to block Boyan and gave the ball to Kompani behind him.

The latter drove the football to the frontcourt with a big foot.

"Barcelona fought fiercely in the frontcourt, and Kompany was forced to have a big foot - this is a good transfer ball!" Eddie Gray originally wanted to say that Kompany had a big foot clearance, but suddenly turned and shouted loudly. "Modric received the ball, he passed the ball! Zhang Yang received the ball! He was just a little outside the penalty area, and this is a position where he could shoot from a long time!"

Zhang Yang did not shoot because the moment he was about to raise his foot, he found that Sapuyor was very close to him and was not suitable for shooting. So he changed his mind temporarily, shook his ankle and passed it back to Modric.

Seeing Zhang Yang pass the football back to Modric, Guardiola immediately stood up. The pass made him feel a little familiar. Last weekend, in the match between Manchester City and Burnley, a frontcourt cooperation between Manchester City, Zhang Yang knocked the football back to Modric, who scored with a cold shot! The current scene is like the rhythm of the goal being performed!

Guardiola also edited the video of this game between Manchester City and Burnley and explained it to the players. This Premier League game was the 2-2 game against Barcelona and the chaotic team changing coaches. It is very valuable for reference, so Guardiola will naturally not ignore it.

Guardiola's eyes widened. He wanted to see how his players defended this offense. In the tactical explanation before the game, he also emphasized that he should be careful of the cooperation between Zhang Yang and Modric. The Croatian had a long-range shot!

What satisfied Guardiola was that his players were obviously thorough in his tactical analysis and focused on him. Obviously, Pique also saw that Modric was going to shoot a long shot, so he immediately stepped forward and planned to use his body to block Modric's shot!

Seeing Pique coming up to block the shot, Modric shook his feet. After tricking Pique into falling out of the center of gravity, he passed the ball to Wright Phillips who came to pick up the ball. The latter did not stop the ball and passed it straight!

Wright Phillips happened to pass the football to Zhang Yang. As long as he caught up with the football and successfully accelerated into the penalty area, he would almost be a one-on-one shot!

Barcelona players fall into it and know this.

Keita, who was returning to defense, came up to intercept!

Kaita didn't defend Zhang Yang alone, and he was passed by Zhang Yang's change of direction when he dribbled!

Alves rushed up quickly! He was going to post it before Zhang Yang entered the penalty area!

However, the next moment, Alves' eyes widened because Zhang Yang did not continue to dribble the ball, and the Manchester City captain had no intention of dribbling the ball into the penalty area at all!

Under Alves' terrified gaze, Zhang Yang kicked the ground with his left foot, and at the same time, he swung his right foot to face the football...

A volley of an external instep!

The football flew past Alves' face and drew a strange arc.

At such a close distance, only the outer instep can bypass Alves!

Not only did he bypass Alves, the football jumped high and bypassed everyone in the penalty area, and then fell straight to the far corner of the goal.

Such an external instep volley can't stop it!

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes' reaction was fast, but when he jumped up and flew in the air, the football had already passed by his sight, and the arc continued. Finally, the football fell from the junction of the goal post and the crossbar and fell into the net.

An incredible world goal!
Chapter completed!
