Chapter 1297
When Rong Guang dribbled the ball into the Barcelona penalty area, there was actually no suspense. Perhaps a small number of people were lucky.Then Rong Guang's shot shattered their luck.

The football flew into the goal and spun in the net.

And Valdez fell to the ground, looking back at the football in the goal in despair.

Goal glory ran to the corner flag and then came a skid in front of cheering Manchester City fans.

The cheers of the Manchester City fans were like a volcanic eruption, pouring from all sides of the stands and drowning him.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"

John Mortensen roared with a drawn out voice.

"Manchester City took the lead 1-0! The game only started for 6 minutes! Even in their own home court, this start may not have been expected by many Manchester City fans, right? This is Manchester City's first attack of the game, the first shot! It scored! Barcelona must be crying now. They besieged Manchester City's goal for 5 minutes, passed back and forth no less than [-] kicks, and finally used Messi's personal breakthrough, just a little short of scoring. Just when they were gearing up and planning to make a comeback ... Rong advanced the goal!"

Alan Hansen had a good laugh because it was all really funny.

Murderous, determined to win Barcelona did not lead the goal, but let Manchester City advance the goal...

"Rongguang is simply the nemesis of Barcelona!" He Ping said excitedly. "I think everyone in Barcelona must be very regretful. When they reached an agreement with Rongguang's agent, they backtracked and tore up the agreement. If they had introduced Rongguang, then Barcelona in the early 21st century would be the most terrifying. They will completely rule the world of football...but now, they can only be ruled!"

The TV broadcast cut to a close-up of Messi.

It was also a breakthrough with the ball. Messi's final shot missed the goal by a tiny bit and missed the goal.

And Rong Guang's dribbling eventually turned into scoring.

The cut of this shot is very interesting, and it seems to be telling the audience-this is the gap between Messi and Rongguang!

Messi in the camera is frowning and looking grim.

Rong Guang's goal actually hit him quite hard.

Glory is like a mountain standing in front of him, making him always think that he will arrive soon, but after running for an unknown amount of time, when he looks up, he finds that mountain is still standing quietly in front of his eyes, not getting any farther away, but not getting any closer.

It's really depressing...it's like all your hard work, all your running is just staying in place.

When Messi sweated desperately in every training session, trying his best to suppress his inner desire for barbecue, Coca-Cola, food and drinks, just to catch up with Rongguang, he found that Rongguang ran faster than himself.

That really makes people feel—what are you doing so hard for?

※※※

The celebrations of the Manchester City players did not last long, and they did not give Barcelona the opportunity to siege the referee to protest that Manchester City celebrated for too long.

In less than 1 minute, the Manchester City players finished celebrating and returned to their respective positions.

Manchester City are confident now.Perhaps various public opinions before the game felt that Manchester City was nervous when they met Barcelona.

But in fact they all guessed wrong.When they knew that their semi-final opponent was Barcelona, ​​the reaction of the Manchester City players could be summed up in one word-"Oh".

No surprises, no surprises, no excitement, but no fear.

It's very ordinary, just like other opponents they have encountered. Anyway, if you encounter an opponent, you will defeat it. It's so simple.

In the past two seasons, Manchester City and Barcelona have played against each other very frequently, so the players of Manchester City know Barcelona very well, and because they know it, there is no need to talk about fear.

In the eyes of others, the "Invincible Cosmic Team", which is very scary, has been defeated by Manchester City three times in a row. What do you think Manchester City has to be afraid of?
They have the confidence to beat such a team and reach the final.

That's why Ibrahimovic was surprised by the caliber of media public opinion when he was interviewed.

Everyone is talking about Barcelona's revenge, why no one said that this is another time Manchester City beat Barcelona?

It is indeed a sling. In the three matches, Manchester City scored nine goals and only conceded two goals. They won all three games and have a [-]% winning percentage against Barcelona.

In fact, before the game, the Manchester City players also expressed their confidence.

It's just that in the environment of the war of words at that time, the confidence expressed by the Manchester City players was more interpreted as "psychological warfare against Barcelona", which were all bluffs and not really confident.

But it doesn't matter, just like Rongguang, if you don't believe or are not satisfied with what I said, then I won't explain any more, I will directly use practical actions to prove what I just said to you.

The game continued, and Barcelona, ​​which had conceded a goal, launched a fierce counterattack to Manchester City's goal, trying to equalize the score in the shortest time.

In addition, if you can get an away goal, that is also good.

Facing Barcelona's onslaught, Manchester City returned to their previous defensive posture.

Almost everyone went back to their own half and participated in the defense.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is at the front, is also behind the center circle.

Both Rongguang and Kaka also retreated relatively deeply.

They are not worried about the speed of personnel going up during the counterattack, because both Rongguang and Kaka are super fast people.

In addition, they also have David Silva, an underestimated talented player under the light of a superstar, and his individual combat ability is also super powerful.

Having so many good cards is also the reason why Manchester City can shrink their defense with peace of mind and don't have to worry about quick counterattacks.

After conceding the ball, Barcelona's passing speed has accelerated, and it is no longer as slow and back and forth as before, which makes people want to sleep.

Their passing has also become easier. Messi started to receive the ball frequently and actively participated in every aspect of the attack. He would occasionally switch positions with Iniesta.

But today Messi is like not wearing his shooting boots.

His second shot was too direct and was directly blocked by Joe Hart, which did not pose any threat to Manchester City's goal.

Instead, Joe Hart got up and threw the football directly to Kaka, and then Kaka, Rong Guang, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a counterattack and almost scored again, scaring the Barcelona fans.

"It seems that Manchester City seemed to be able to handle Barcelona with ease, but it was easier than when they played Real Madrid... I don't know if it is my illusion." John Mortensen said.

"Of course this is not your illusion alone, John." Alan Hansen said beside him. "I also have this feeling. Manchester City obviously prefer teams like Barcelona that control the ball and play offensive football. For example, in the Premier League when they play Arsenal. This is determined by their own tactics. Teams that play defensive counterattacks will not be afraid of teams with high ball possession and fierce offensive firepower..."

"So, isn't Barcelona going to be unlucky?"

"I think...it's very possible!"

※※※

Barcelona couldn't hear the comments of John Mortensen and Alan Hansen, and although they were almost scored by Manchester City, they continued to attack.

Because they don't attack and have no other way, and they only know this.

If you want them to shrink their defense and fight back... then Barcelona can only shout "I can't do it".

So knowing that they will be counterattacked by Manchester City if they continue to attack, Barcelona did not change their strategy.

Just in the details, they have some fine-tuning.

For example, after losing the ball, only the Barcelona players who are closest to the Manchester City player who is in possession of the ball will go up to interfere and press close, while the others will quickly return to defense and will not go up to fight.In the past, at least two people went up to siege a Manchester City player.

Now they don't do this, and everyone else quickly returns to the defense and organizes the defense to avoid being directly penetrated by Manchester City's counterattack.

In response to Barcelona's adjustment, Manchester City is still taking it easy and sticking to their own strategy and style of play.

Anyway, they are one goal ahead, so they are definitely not the ones to worry about.

※※※

Until the end of the first half, Barcelona failed to equalize the score.Of course, Manchester City didn't score either.Barcelona supporters will say that Barcelona managed to stop Manchester City from scoring in the first half, which looked like a tactical victory for Barcelona, ​​and as long as they stick to this style of play, it will be Barcelona's turn to score in the second half.

But neutrals know exactly what to say about this first half.

Obviously, Barcelona has failed, and this failure is not only reflected in their scores, but also in the scene.

Barcelona, ​​which is also known for its strong offensive firepower, was unable to score a single goal against Manchester City's defense...

Of course, this is not a very surprising thing. They played three games against Manchester City before and only scored two goals in total.So it is normal for Barcelona to find it difficult to score against Manchester City.

During the 15-minute intermission, commentators and expert commentators from all over the world were interpreting the first half.The result of the interpretation is "Manchester City really deserves to be the nemesis of Barcelona".

Barcelona can beat Real Madrid this season 3:1, but they can't do anything with Manchester City.

Some people even wondered if after consecutive losses to Manchester City, the Barcelona players have formed a psychological shadow on Manchester City. They are afraid of Manchester City when they see Manchester City.

In fact, they panicked when they saw that their opponent in the semi-finals was Manchester City.

Such a conclusion is certainly not what Barcelona fans want to hear, but they can’t hear it either. The commentators and commentators on Catalan TV and radio all believe that Barcelona quickly stabilized their position after losing the ball. It is a great success not to let Manchester City continue to score.

How can Barcelona fans be dissatisfied when they hear such an optimistic analysis?

So the second half began amidst the optimistic expectations of the Barcelona fans...
