Chapter 1029 I will try my best to be your opponent

Rong Guang's words made the already intense atmosphere even more intense.

Because his words are really easy to misunderstand that he looks down on Messi.

Besides, Rong Guang didn't give any further explanation, it seemed that this was what he meant.

"Rong is not the kind of crazy man who is arrogant." Iniesta said to Messi behind him. "He must have meant something when he said that. He should think that you two are friends, not opponents in the media's mouth."

The two were standing in the tunnel, waiting to play, and next to them were Manchester City players. As the captain of Manchester City, Rong Guang stood at the front, side by side with Puyol.

Messi was staring at Rongguang, and Iniesta was afraid that Messi would be angry with Rongguang, so he quickly explained to Rongguang.

Messi withdrew his gaze, with a slight smile on his face, and said to Iniesta: "Andre, but in fact, I would rather be an opponent with him than a friend..."

Iniesta looked at Messi, he smiled bitterly.

He suddenly understood why Messi said that.

If I understand correctly, Rongguang believes that the opponent is someone he wants to beat with all his heart, and Messi is obviously not such a person, which means that Messi still has no way to ignite that kind of fighting spirit in Rongguang...

"Come on, Leo. You will." Iniesta had no choice but to comfort him.

Amidst the chorus of Barcelona fans, players from both sides stepped onto the pitch.

Any player who enters Camp Nou just needs to look up to see the huge pattern on the stands facing them, all put together by Barcelona fans.

It was a huge Barcelona jersey with a number printed on it: 12.

This means that the Barcelona fans are the best No.12 of the Barcelona team, they will always support their team and fight alongside him.

They sang Barcelona's team anthem in unison. When they sang "Bassa Bassa", tens of thousands of people shouted the name instead of singing.

That momentum really fully explained whose territory it was.

In the past, this was a move that Barcelona fans would make to welcome Real Madrid at home, but now Manchester City also enjoys the treatment of a Spanish national derby.

Rong Guang is no stranger to the Nou Camp. When he represented Werder Bremen, he once came here to play a game.However, this was the first time he had personally experienced such a scene.Because when they played against each other last time, he was still an unknown person in European football, and Werder Bremen is not a team worthy of Barcelona's serious treatment. Naturally, Barcelona fans don't need to create a terrifying home atmosphere.

Of course, Werder Bremen did lose to Barcelona in the final game, but it was not easy for Barcelona to win.It was that game that made Barcelona know Rong Guang from top to bottom, and his two goals almost brought Barcelona down.

Now, Rongguang has come to the Nou Camp again, and he is definitely not an unknown player.

Rong Guang even heard some boos.

"When Rong came out, there were boos..." commentator John Mortensen said. "He's always had a good impression on the Barcelona fans..."

"It must be related to what he said before. Barcelona fans think he is arrogant. This boo must be given to him for this reason." Alan Hansen analyzed.

John Mortensen nodded.

He also couldn't understand what Rong Guang said. Why did Rong Guang say that? He had a good relationship with Messi and other Barcelona players before. Why did he say that?

No one knew why Rong Guang did this, and Rong Guang didn't explain it either.

But this is not too important. As long as Manchester City can eliminate Barcelona, ​​who cares what Rong Guang said before the game.

※※※

When Rong Guang shook hands with Messi, he smiled at Messi. He wanted to convey some kindness - he didn't want to offend Messi. The reason why he didn't explain it was because he didn't know how to explain it.Should he tell reporters and fans that he has only one opponent in his mind, Kaka?

This kind of thought is okay in his heart, but he will never say it, because Rongguang will not give Kaka a chance to make him proud.

But when Rong Guang smiled and conveyed great kindness to Messi, the expression on Messi's face was very serious.

"I will try to be your opponent," Messi said.

Rong Guang was astonished by Messi's words, he didn't expect Messi to care so much about this matter...

This made him somewhat embarrassed.

Then when he shook hands with Iniesta, Iniesta blinked at Rongguang: "Be careful, Rong, Leo is fully fired now. Your two-goal lead is really nothing..."

Rong Guang scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

After the game started, Barcelona, ​​who were playing at home, took advantage of their kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Manchester City's goal.

There was no hesitation at all, and Barcelona were going to play at full power from the start.

At home, Barcelona really have nothing to fear.

Under the fierce offensive of the team, the Barcelona fans kept cheering and cheering for their team, while putting pressure on the visiting team Manchester City players.

Under such pressure, they believe that the performance of Manchester City players will definitely have problems.

How many teams in this world can perform normally under the power of Camp Nou?

Even a team like Real Madrid will be timid at the Nou Camp.

Benitez is not surprised by Barcelona's attacking style of play at the beginning, and has already made arrangements.

After all, Barcelona are two goals behind on aggregate and they have to work hard at the start of the second leg, and they have no right to waste time.

In response to Barcelona's style of play, Benitez asked Manchester City to defend firmly after the start of the game. During this period, don't think about attacking or anything, and don't concede the ball first.

Let's wait until Barcelona's offensive is over.

It is impossible for any team to maintain a very high rhythm and speed to play, so that they will not be able to hold on and collapse within 45 minutes.

So don't look at Barcelona's aggressive attack now, but as long as they can withstand it, the next game can return to normal.

But if you don't resist at the beginning, the initiative of the game will quickly fall into the hands of Barcelona.Let them score one goal, and the point difference is only one goal. For Barcelona, ​​which is fighting like a rainbow at home, one goal is not a gap at all.

In this game, Benitez's tactics for Manchester City were all defensive counterattacks.

Attack on the premise of withstanding Barcelona's attack. If you feel that you can't stand it and the attack is dangerous, then just give up the attack.

It may be a bit ugly to play like this, but it is the most winning tactic.

If you play against Barcelona in the away game, it will really be a performance with water in your head.

But as long as Barcelona's offensive continues, Benitez will be very confident in his team. First of all, Manchester City may not lose to Barcelona from the scene.

Who said defensive counterattacks can't look good?

The defensive counterattack is as beautiful as it is!
※※※

For a full 15 minutes, Barcelona's offense showed no sign of slowing down. They were really desperate.

In these 15 minutes, Barcelona had a total of two almost goal opportunities, almost all of which were must-goals. One of them was saved by Joe Hart incredible, and the other Iniesta's shot slipped out.

And these two attacks are related to Messi.

The ball saved by Joe Hart was shot by Messi, and Iniesta's shot was assisted by Messi.

In addition to these two particularly good opportunities, most of the other attacks have something to do with Messi.

Messi's form is so good, all commentators have seen it.

"Messi! Messi! Breakthrough! Beautiful piercing!"

"Oh oh oh! Look at this extraordinary man, Manchester City's defender Barnes has no defensive power in front of Messi!"

"Messi almost seems unstoppable!"

"Messi is dribbling... look, look, how many Manchester City players are around him? Let's count... one, two, three... four! Four Manchester City players surrounded Messi!"

"Every time Messi appears in front of the penalty area, the Manchester City players will be highly nervous!"

……

Compliments like this kept coming out of the mouths of commentators from all over the world.

They kept mentioning and praising Messi in the commentary, as if Barcelona had become a team of Messi alone...

But in fact, other players in Barcelona performed as well, but Messi was better.

All eyes were naturally attracted to Messi.

In the past 15 minutes, Manchester City's defense looked very dangerous, and their goal could lose the ball at any time.

But anyway, in the end, it was not lost.

At No. 17 minutes, Barcelona's offensive rhythm finally slowed down.

They really can't keep attacking quickly. Even if Messi can run, other players can't keep up with his speed.

At this time, Manchester City began their counterattack.

The football was handed over to Rong Guang's feet.

The first 15 minutes is the time for Messi to fully demonstrate his ability.

Rong Guang could only be a spectator most of the time during this time.As an important arrow in the team's counterattack, he doesn't need to go back to participate in the defense, but Rongguang doesn't like to be a spectator, he is eager to get the ball.

Now is the chance.

During this period of time as a spectator, he always saw Messi's outstanding performance, and then the words Messi said when he shook hands with him, as well as the expression at that time, would emerge in his mind.

"I will try my best to be your opponent!"

Of course Rong Guang knows that Messi is very powerful and outstanding.

But how can he tell Messi that not the most powerful player in the world can become his opponent?
