Chapter 1034 Someone Has to Stand Up
"The real turning point of this game is that Matuidi was injured and Barcelona obviously strengthened their siege in the frontcourt..." The commentator John Mortensen was still explaining the situation on the field. During this period, he mentioned Matuidi who was injured in Manchester City more than once.

Because Matuidi is really important to Manchester City.

"When Sneijder was injured before, we felt that even if there was one less player, if we shrink the defense, we might still be able to keep the two-goal lead. But now that Matuidi is also injured, the situation has changed..." Alan Hansen also agreed with John Mortensen. "Manchester City may not be able to defend the capital if they want to defend it now..."

Alan Hansen is naturally stating this fact objectively, but it doesn't sound so good to the ears of Manchester City fans.

So many Manchester City fans simply scolded Alan Hansen and John Mortensen while worrying.

Just scolding the commentator can't solve the problem and let Manchester City regain the upper hand.

Now any fool can see that the situation is very unfavorable for Manchester City.

Barcelona's offense is getting more and more fierce, and Manchester City's goal has begun to suffer some tests.

Joe Hart's high and low blocks are still in a mess. Sometimes Manchester City's defenders need to defend in an eye-catching way, otherwise they may lose the ball.

The Manchester City fans who watched this game even forgot to breathe...

※※※

No. 607 minutes, 7 minutes have passed since Matuidi was injured and left the field. At this time, there are at least 23 minutes before the end of the game. It can only be more, and it is impossible to be less than this number.

Many Manchester City fans were amazed to see this and only 7 minutes had passed...

They thought it was almost eight or ten minutes.

No.607 minutes, football is still firmly controlled by Barcelona at their feet.At this time, Barcelona, ​​which has one more person in number, gave full play to their advantage of good ball control. In fact, they are not in a hurry to complete the attack with a shot now.

They haven't let down their vigilance against Rongguang until now, and they don't feel that everything will be fine just because Manchester City has been exposed frequently.

Therefore, Rongguang got very, very few counterattack opportunities in the second half.

From this point of view, Barcelona has not lost its cool.

They still know how to play football.

They controlled the football at their own feet, passing the ball frequently and interspersed with running positions, trying to tear through Manchester City's defense. Once they want to shoot, it must have a very good chance.

They will not end the attack with a long shot over the crossbar from outside the penalty area.

In the 608th minute, Barcelona made a through pass and Messi appeared behind Manchester City's defense.

After he received Harvey's through ball, the angle was actually not too big.

He could of course cross the ball into the middle, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic followed.

But Messi did not choose to do this, he shot directly!
The football goes straight to the near corner!

Joe Hart didn't even have time to save the football with his hands, but quickly reached the end, rubbed the football with his toes, the football deflected slightly, and then hit the goal post!

"Goalpost! Messi's shot hit the post! What a pity!"

Then, the football that hit the post did not go out of bounds, but bounced back and landed in the penalty area!
At this time, the hearts of the Manchester City fans were all hanging, for fear that the football that bounced in would be caught by the Barcelona players. You must know that Joe Hart has fallen to the ground now, almost like an empty goal!

At this moment, the Manchester City central defender Lucio, who had returned to the goal, turned around and kicked the football out, and many people breathed a sigh of relief...

"Barcelona's attack was cleared!"

In the stands, the Barcelona fans sighed unwillingly.

Barcelona center Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who also rushed to the goal, pointed at his feet and yelled at Messi, complaining that he did not pass the football.If Messi had passed the ball just now, Ibrahimovic would have faced the empty goal directly. Even if he pushed lightly, the football would fly into the goal...

At that time, Barcelona will tie the total score to 2:3.

With one goal away, if you work hard, maybe within 5 minutes, Barcelona will be able to equalize the total score.

They will then knock out City on one away goal.

But Messi didn't do that.

When Guardiola saw that the football was not scored off the field, he also seemed very regretful. He waved his hand vigorously, and then complained to the assistant coach Vilanova next to him: "Messi should pass the ball!"

Vilanova shrugged: "Maybe it's because Ibrahimovic didn't pass the ball to Messi before..."

He is on Messi's side.

Guardiola shook his head, since it's all like this, it doesn't make sense to say it.

Ibrahimovic and Messi have a bad relationship, and he knows it all too well.He only hoped that this incident would not affect the final result of the competition...

※※※

No one seemed to care where the football that was cleared by Lucio ended up flying.

They felt that they should fly directly out of the touchline like those previous hasty clearances by Manchester City defenders.

The football Lucio kicked was indeed heading for the sideline.

But just when everyone thought the football would go out of bounds, a sky-blue figure suddenly struck like lightning, and then jumped high!

It's glory!
"Ron!" exclaimed John Mortenson.

He yelled that the Manchester City fans in front of the TV were all excited!
Rong Guang who ran to the sideline jumped up, then puffed out his chest, and stopped the football in the air with his chest!

The football that was supposed to fly directly off the sideline was saved by Rong Guang!
At this time, the Barcelona player closest to football is their right back Alves-Rong Guang has returned from his original right side to the left side, just to get the ball.

He will definitely not have the ball if he stays in the frontcourt, so it is better to retreat.

When Alves saw Rong Guang stop the football in with his chest, he was taken aback for a moment because he didn't expect that someone would save the ball. He watched the football rushing out of the sideline, so he didn't even think about going up to catch it, but was going to throw a throw-in.

But at this moment, Rong Guang came out.

Alves froze for a moment, then remembered that what was in front of him was glory!

So he ran forward with all his strength and rushed towards the football. He didn't think about controlling the football, but planned to clear the football directly. Even if he gave Manchester City a penalty, it would be better to avoid Rongguang getting the ball!
But when Alves rushed up, Rong Guang moved faster than him. Rong Guang, who was still outside the sideline, had no time to rush into the field, so he chose to stretch his feet directly to kick the ball!

He grabbed ahead of Alves and kicked the football with his right foot!
Alves, who jumped up to head the ball, missed it!
At the same time, after Rong Guang finished picking the football, he restarted, rushed into the field, and chased after the football!

※※※

"Rong! Beautiful!" John Mortensen exclaimed excitedly.

When the team is most passive, Rong Guang really needs to stand up!

In front of the TV, I don't know how many Manchester City fans cheered when Rong Guang beat the football over Alves.

But the glorious show did not end there.

After picking out Alves, Rong Guang rushed into the field, caught up with the football, and then stopped the football falling from the air with his instep in front of him, a very suitable distance, neither too far away from him to be cut off by the Barcelona players, but also not too close to make it difficult to dribble the ball.

After Rongguang stopped the ball, the next step was to directly move the football forward!
He is going to fight back!
"This is Manchester City's counterattack!!" The Chinese commentator He Ping was also very excited.After waiting for so long, it was all Barcelona besieging Manchester City, and now he finally got the scene he wanted to see!
Manchester City's counterattack is also a glorious counterattack!
※※※

Seeing that Rong Guang took the football past Alves, he controlled the ball very steadily, and dribbled the ball towards Barcelona's half.Guardiola jumped up from his seat.

He has always been unwilling to let the team relax their vigilance against Rong Guang, and this is what they are defending against.The last thing he wants to see is Rong Guang taking the ball and rushing forward when there is a lot of space in the backcourt!

This is very dangerous!
The assistant next to him, Vilanova, rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Stop him—!"

But his voice was instantly drowned in the huge boos over the Camp Nou.

Barcelona fans obviously know what this sprint means.

The Barcelona players who were still in the frontcourt of Manchester City retreated across the board, and everyone was running back desperately.

Except for center Ibrahimovic and Messi.

These two people are the front of Barcelona's charge, and it is impossible to catch up if they want to return to the defense at this time.

Messi is very anxious, while Ibrahimovic is calm-it's all about it, what's the use of being anxious?

※※※

Rong Guang heard the boos of the Barcelona fans, and could feel that the Barcelona players around him were gathering towards him.If he still has his teammates in the frontcourt, he can pass the football, but now he knows very well that it is impossible for anyone to respond to him.The continuous siege of Barcelona just now put all the Manchester City players in their own 30-meter zone. Except for him, no one can get closer to Barcelona's goal!
