Chapter 1206 What is the glory of going all out?

Manchester City's players and fans were celebrating the goal wildly, while in Barcelona, ​​it was like a pool of stagnant water.

Puyol, who was passed by Rongguang, turned around and chased after him, but all he saw was a volley shot by Rongguang after he passed Valdés. The inertia made him continue to run until he reached Valdez's side before stopping. He stared at the football in the goal blankly...

Valdez was lying beside him and did not get up.

Puyol's body was hit from behind and he turned around to see Messi...

Messi ran out of breath and finally ran to the door, but it was too late.

He chased all the way from the frontcourt, and had hoped to catch up with Rongguang, but in the face of Rongguang's breakthrough method that did not slow down, he was not able to get close to Rongguang in the end, and he didn't even appear in the TV broadcast with Rongguang the number of times.

After Rongguang passed Busquets, he ran all the way. Neither Pique nor Puyol could stop Rongguang.

Messi's back defense is meaningless except seeing Rong Guang's goal at a relatively short distance...

In this competition, it can be said that Messi has lost completely!

This may be a bigger blow to Messi than conceding the ball.

Because Messi didn't even get close to the point where he could grab Rongguang's clothes with his hands in this chase. In so many previous contests, at least he had chased to almost parallel with Rongguang, or chased to the point where he could steal the ball with his foot at the right time. It's just that Rongguang's dribbling rhythm is too good, and he couldn't find that opportunity.

But it doesn't say that there is a time when you can't even catch up.

This time, Messi failed to catch up with Glory throughout the whole process.

In this attack, Rong Guang didn't even think about whether Messi was chasing after him.People didn't regard Messi as an opponent at all!
In this straight-line breakthrough, Messi saw the whole process and ran along, but the distance between him and Rongguang did not shorten, but was completely opened in the second half, although Rongguang passed Pique and Puyol consecutively in the second half.But none of this affected Rong Guang's deceleration too much.

During this process, Messi could clearly feel how fast Rong Guang was running at full speed...

Messi stared blankly at the football lying quietly in the goal, but his heart was turbulent in Potain, and there was a huge wave.

Is this Rong after going all out?

It turned out that the gap between himself and him was so huge...

Originally, after surpassing Rongguang in the Champions League scorer list, the media believed that Messi had surpassed Rongguang. Although Messi didn't think so in his heart, he also felt that at least he had caught up with Rongguang.

But now it seems that he is still far away from glory!
The distance even made him a little desperate...

※※※

Standing on the sidelines, Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola waved his hand, with helplessness and pain on his face.

For Rongguang's personal ability, he has already known through Iniesta.Originally, he felt that Iniesta was exaggerating in some aspects, after all, Iniesta is recognized as a glorious "brain fan" in the circle.

But when it came to the game, when he saw the ball, he had to admit that everything Iniesta said was correct, and there was absolutely no falsehood.

For example, he asked Iniesta not to hide anything, and to speak completely according to his true thoughts, whether Barcelona has Messi, and whether it can fight against glory.

Iniesta has said that this is what worries him.

"...Because Rong is a person who is strong when he is strong, and his strength has no upper limit-at least I have not seen his upper limit. If Leo is in a good state and performs well, then Rong will also be in better form and perform better in the game. He is eager to challenge the strong, and Leo shows signs that he can beat him. Then Rong will go all out to beat Leo in the game. So frankly speaking, Leo's good state may not be good news for us..."

Guardiola felt incredible when he heard this, because what Iniesta said was completely beyond common sense.No matter how strong a player is, there is a limit. Messi is already very strong, but is he stronger than Messi?What is that concept?And how could there be no upper limit?
At that time, he was a little disapproving of this, but he took the initiative to ask Iniesta to find out about the situation of Rongguang. What he wanted to hear was Iniesta's frank and honest statement, and he did not hide it at all. Naturally, it is not good to express disdain and disbelief. Otherwise, there is no need for Iniesta to talk, and he can just watch the video by himself.

The purpose of looking for Iniesta is to understand some things that cannot be seen on the news and game videos.

However, Guardiola did not tell anyone what Iniesta said.He felt that this was too shocking, and it was of no benefit to speak out, but it also damaged the relationship between Messi and Iniesta.The media must be very, very interested in the news that "Iniesta thinks Messi is not as good as Rong"...

But now, when he saw Messi chasing after Rongguang desperately, and there were Barcelona players blocking Rongguang in front of him, Messi was still unable to catch up with Rongguang, and he believed it. It turned out that what Iniesta said was not an infinite magnification of his idol by a brain-dead fan, but the truth!
So here comes the question, facing such an honor, how should we play the next game?
Many Barcelona opponent coaches consider how to play the game in the face of Messi.

And now Guardiola feels the same trouble.

In the final, he and his team did the best they could, but fell behind.

Rong Guang is the best performer in the Manchester City team, as long as he can beat Rong Guang, he can beat Manchester City.

This is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Anyway, Guardiola doesn't have a clear idea in his mind now.

Now he can only hope that Messi's unyielding energy will be stimulated by Rong Guang's ball, and then he will immediately return the color with a goal and equalize the score...

Yes, Guardiola, a coach who emphasizes team control, can only rely on Messi's personal performance now.

No head coach would like this feeling, as if he has completely become a decoration, a mascot on the coach seat.

But Manchester City's head coach Benitez and the Chinese national team's head coach Gao Hongbo are used to it...

For the celebration of Rongguang's second goal, Manchester City took more time.

This is actually a strategy of Manchester City. The longer it takes to celebrate, the more time it can delay.At the same time, the Manchester City players celebrated wildly, which also had an impact on the psychology of the Barcelona players who lost the ball.

Sure enough, when the Barcelona players celebrated wildly at Manchester City, no player even reminded the referee that they had timed out.

In the end, the referee himself reminded the Manchester City players to return to their own half, and the game had to continue.The Manchester City players just finished celebrating and returned to their own half.

On this road, many Manchester City players would shake their fists at the Manchester City fans in the stands. Their actions drew stormy cheers from the Manchester City fans.

Manchester City fans are the happiest now, from falling behind to equalizing and then taking the lead.Manchester City fans have once again witnessed how glory works miracles for them.

A large part of their cheering was not even for the ball, but for the future they envisioned and foreseeable.

That is the champion!
With Rongguang in such a state, many Manchester City fans feel that they really have a great chance of winning the championship!
Champions of the UEFA Champions League!
This is a championship that Manchester City has never won in history.

As far as the championship of England's top league is concerned, Manchester City has already won it as early as the 1936-1937 season.Manchester City has won four FA Cup titles before.

Manchester City has won two League Cup titles.

Even Manchester City won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970.

But Manchester City has never won the UEFA Champions League in history, let alone won it. Before that, they hadn't even made it to the final.

If Manchester City can win the Champions League this time, it will truly make history.

And they will all become part of history today!

Speaking of which, being part of history has happened to City fans many times this season.

For example, Manchester City has become the team with the most consecutive unbeaten games in the history of England's top football with 55 consecutive games.Another example is Manchester City's unbeaten season and winning the championship. After Arsenal, it is the second team to do all this.

And reaching the Champions League final itself created Manchester City's history...

This season, Manchester City has been creating their own history every step of the way.

But Manchester City fans did not feel that it was commonplace.They haven't won enough, haven't had enough fun.

※※※

Amidst a storm of cheers from the Manchester City fans in the stands, the game resumed.

Manchester City completed the substitution, Kompany was replaced, and Godin appeared.

Godin, who has no yellow card, will have no burden in defense and can be very tough.This immediately stabilized Manchester City's defense.

Coupled with Manchester City now taking the lead in the score, the situation is very unfavorable for Barcelona.

The only good news is that Messi was not completely defeated by Rongguang's goal. After the game started, he was still trying to find a chance to score.

Manchester City also did not attack aggressively after the goal, hoping to kill Barcelona this time.

In a competition of the level of the Champions League final, every step has to be careful, and a wrong step may eventually lead to irreparable failure.

Manchester City is actually right to do this. In this case, Barcelona will have no chance to fight back against Manchester City.Anyway, Manchester City is leading now, they don't have to rush to attack, they can just defend until the end of the game.

Besides, defensive counterattack is what Manchester City is best at...
