Chapter 1296 A low-key lead

After the start of the game, Barcelona played their good ball control tactics.

Although it was an away game, Barcelona was not eager to attack. They used the opportunity of kick-off to firmly control the football at their feet, and then dealt with Manchester City.

When they have not found an excellent opportunity, they will not easily use a shot to complete an attack.

In the face of such Barcelona, ​​Manchester City is not in a hurry, they played their best defensive counterattack.

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

Barcelona was not in a hurry to attack, and Manchester City was not in a hurry to attack. They held their defensive position, and then let Barcelona pass back and forth from the 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 inverted tactics.

That is to keep the defense stable, and don't let the back and forth of Barcelona stun Manchester City's defense.When many teams conceded the ball against Barcelona, ​​it was often because Barcelona's back and forth passes tore through the defense, and Barcelona found a loophole.

Barcelona passed back and forth for 5 minutes, and they had to pass more than 30 feet to each other. If they can find a loophole in Manchester City's defense and score a goal at this time, it will definitely be the team goal with the most kicks.Although not necessarily exciting...

However, Barcelona has not yet found any loopholes in Manchester City's defense.

Manchester City's defense is very calm.

For such a situation, Barcelona has long been prepared, and they don't just attack by passing the ball.

This is why Messi is very important to Barcelona.

When passing the ball can't tear apart the opponent's defense, a personal breakthrough will be like a sharp knife, directly piercing the opponent's defense!
Messi's personal technology is the ultimate solution to the problem.

So when Barcelona fell for 5 minutes and hadn't found a good opportunity, Messi became active.

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

Now, this part of him is going to stand out, turning into a lone hero.

Xavi passes the football to Messi.

After receiving the ball, Messi did not pass the ball again, but made a fake pass, and then accelerated the breakthrough!
He threw away Gareth Barry, who was defending him, in one stride, and rushed to the penalty area.

"Messi!" the Catalan commentator cheered.

Meanwhile John Mortensen exclaimed.

Messi's breakthrough is what everyone fears the most.Just like an atomic bomb, it has a strong deterrent effect.

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

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

In the end, with the help of Alba, Godin interfered with Messi, causing Messi to miss the goal slightly, and the football flew directly out of the baseline.

There was a loud gasp from the stands at Manchester City Stadium - and City fans were taken aback.

"It's dangerous! Manchester City almost conceded the ball!" John Mortensen also had lingering fears when he spoke.

"Messi's form this season is really good. Last season, he lost to Rongguang in the finals and the scorer list, which may have deeply stimulated him..." Alan Hansen analyzed.

"Messi is a very good player, of course glory is too!" He Ping said. "Whenever this happens, I have a feeling of 'He Shengyu He Shengliang'... But at the same time, it is also lucky for us fans that these two greatest players can talk directly. The debate about who is better between Pele and Maradona continued in every corner of the world, but no one could convince the other side to accept their point of view. Because Pele and Maradona are not players in the same time and space, which of them is better is a bit like Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong. But this kind of debate is difficult to happen between Rongguang and Messi, because they collide again and again , enough to tell us who is stronger!"

He Ping's words will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some Messi fans, but who cares what they think?He is a commentator on China National Television, and those who can watch his commentary are all Chinese. As a Chinese, we naturally want to support our compatriots, so he thinks it is only natural that Rongguang is better than Messi.If someone thinks what he said is wrong, it should be that Messi is better than Rong Guang, then there is something wrong with his brain...

Barcelona's attack was finally over, and it was Manchester City's turn to take possession of the ball.

Joe Hart does not have a big foot to kick the football forward. In that case, there is no guarantee of controlling the football at his feet.

And there is no point in launching an attack with a big foot. Barcelona's players have already returned to the defense, and a big foot is not considered a fast break.

He passed the football to Godin.

But that's exactly what Barcelona want to see.

Barcelona's tactics have several characteristics. In addition to passing back and forth, Barcelona often adopts a high-pressure defensive tactic when defending. They frantically rush around in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent to make mistakes in their own backcourt. This gave Barcelona a chance to directly steal the ball and attack.

So in fact, Barcelona's tactic is not fast, but it consumes a lot of energy, because Barcelona's players ran almost the entire game without stopping.

Of course, Barcelona players have good physical fitness and can support them to run like this.

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

Manchester City and Barcelona have played against each other twice in the past two seasons and played three games. How can it be possible not to understand these characteristics of Barcelona?

So Godin didn't wait for Sanchez to rush up. After receiving the ball, he passed the football directly to the full-back Zabaleta.

Zabaleta faced Fabregas' defense here.

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

Rong Guang retreated from the front to meet Zabaleta, and he received the ball.

Seeing him catch the ball, there was a burst of cheers from the Manchester City fans in the stands.

Barcelona has Messi, we also have glory in Manchester City!
After Rongguang received the ball, he just turned around and faced the Barcelona player Butzkes who came up to defend him.

Rong Guang took advantage of the situation and pulled the football to the left with the sole of his right foot.

Butzkes then turned to the middle. He thought that Rongguang was going to go to the middle.

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

After landing, Rong Guang also quickly changed direction, passing by Butzkes who turned to the middle!

He catches up to the football and throws Butzkes away.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooss!" With Ron's dexterity, Butzkes is as clumsy as a rusty robot!"

Rong Guang dribbled the ball along the wing towards Barcelona's 30-meter zone.

The tactic of high-pressure defense has a weakness, that is, when their people are keen to press the siege in the midfield, their backcourt is relatively empty. There is only a backline, four defenders and a goalkeeper...

For Rong Guang, such a half court can be regarded as empty enough to run a horse.

After Rong Guang completely threw Butzkes away, he adjusted his direction and dribbled the ball diagonally towards the middle.

He is about to meet Pique.

Facing Rongguang's assault, Pique had already stood still.

Facing Pique, Rong Guang's right shoulder sank, and at the same time he kicked the football with his right foot, apparently changing direction and breaking through from Pique's outside.

So Pique's center of gravity moved there.

But Rong Guang didn't hit the football with his right foot, he just feinted behind the football and stepped on the ground.

But Pique didn't think that Rongguang was a fake move, because he saw Rongguang's left foot followed by kicking the football...

Pique believed that Rong Guang must have planned to use his right foot feint before to deceive himself, making himself think that his breakthrough to the outside was fake, so that when his left foot buckled the football to the outside, he had no time to react.

Then Pique had seen through everything a long time ago. When he saw the movement of Rongguang's left foot, he firmly shifted his focus to the outside line.

As a result, when his center of gravity led his body to the outside line, he saw that Rong Guang's left foot did not hit the football, but lightly stopped behind it.

Neither of Rong Guang's feet touched the football, and the football just rolled forward according to the original established route, rolling past Pique.

And what about glory?

He also chased the football and ran past Pique.

Pique, on the other hand, froze in place due to inertia, looking like a scarecrow, with no effect other than acting...

※※※

"Rong! He rushed over! Oh oh! It's so easy! What's wrong with Pique? He didn't even make any defensive moves!"

Amidst the cheers of the Manchester City fans, Rongguang took the football past Pique. The commentator John Mortensen was a little surprised because he didn't expect Pique to be so easy...

But this time is not to get to the bottom of why Pique didn't make a defensive move at all, and let the glory go.

After passing Pique's glory, Puyol is next to face.

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

The running that never gives up and the tenacious defense like jelly candy are his signatures.

Facing such a difficult central defender, Rong Guang didn't make any fake moves, he just slammed the football with the instep of his right foot when he was catching up with the football!
The football rolls past Puyol quickly.

Followed by Glory!

Reflexively, Puyol reached out and pulled Rong Guang's jersey.

But Rong Guang's sprinting speed was really too fast, he stretched out his hand, but only caught the gust of wind brought by Rong Guang's running...

He turned around, and what he saw was the back of Rong Guang who had already waded the football into the penalty area...

Speed, too fast!

"Rong Rong Rong Rong!! The speed is so fast! Under his forced breakthrough, Puyol can't do anything! Now he has entered the penalty area!!"

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

They fixed their eyes on Rong Guang, anticipating what would happen next.

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

He twisted the football into an arc, bypassed Valdez who was attacking, and flew into the goal from the side of the far post...

The ball is in!
There is no suspense, this is the standard ending!
