my team is going to attack

Chapter 206 The Cage
Harvey gave the ball to Messi in front of him. He didn't have much confidence to single out the opponent's defense. After all, no matter how he chose, it was like either I singled out a group of you, or a group of you singled out me.

Not stupid.

This is the third time Messi touched the ball in this game. The game time reached the 7th minute. Messi rarely played such a game.In the past, at this time, I have already taken a few shots.

The ball rolled to his feet, and the national team teammate Cambiasso came over. He is his predecessor and a player worthy of respect. Last season, he and Zanetti and other Argentines trapped him and lost The defending champion's dream.

Now that Cambiasso has come to Manchester City, does he still want to entertain himself with the same trick?

Unsurprisingly, after Messi walked past Cambiasso, Manchester City's central defender Cahill and left-back Baines wrapped him up from left to right. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Barcelona's jersey flashing by. The ball is passed from between the two to the right.

Have you forgotten Alves?

Will Manchester City?

Of course not, Alves came up from the wing, and Bell kept in front of him, unless Bell made a mistake and didn't intercept the ball, otherwise, it would be very difficult for Alves to receive Messi's pass.

Just like this time, Bell stopped the ball in front of Alves, started the same way, and led the way to Barcelona's half at a faster speed. Alves had to lower his head and run wildly.

Butzkes came up to intercept Bell, and did not let him accelerate down. Bell saw that there was a gap on the far side of Kaka, and made a long pass from the left to the right. The speed was not fast enough, and Kaka took it. The ball was snatched by Keita who rushed over.

At the first moment, Kaka started to fight back.

Keita reluctantly passed the ball to the middle, but Puyol and Rakitic started a speed competition.

Puyol was close, took the ball, and knocked it back to goalkeeper Valdes.

This time, there are no players from Manchester City coming up to press. It’s ok, drive the ball to the goalkeeper. Lewandowski and the others think it is acceptable. If you like to control the ball, then keep it with you. Anyway, we are not in a hurry.

When Valdez wanted to make a big kick, he looked up and was a little dumbfounded. All his teammates seemed to be standing next to the opponent's players. Where should I kick.

Still looking for Messi.

Valdez saw Messi's position and drove to the front of Messi, giving him plenty of time to sprint.

Messi sprinted but sprinted, but the ball was pushed back to the midfield by Baines first, Milner and Pedro exchanged the ball for a while, the ball landed at the feet of Butzkes, and Cahill in the midfield was a little bit to the right There is Messi in the middle of the road, and there is a gap in the right center. Butzkes believes in his teammates and goes straight to the frontcourt.

It was Villa, who came from the left and rushed into the penalty area. Maicon came to defend, but there was a gap on the left. Keita came here at some point. Villa resisted Maicon and wanted to grab the ball. Heart, split left.

Keita smiled. He believed that this was his chance. He still had to stop the ball with force. He needed space to speed up and enter the penalty area.

"Be careful behind!"

Keita heard his teammate's voice, and before he had time to distinguish, a figure flashed behind him, and this guy actually slid over in the penalty area.

The ball was also kicked out of the baseline by him, a corner kick.

Only then did Keita see clearly that it was Rakitic who was back on defense. He was very brave and confident. Isn't he afraid to shovel me first?

Keita really wanted to come over and pull him over to ask, but saw Hart running over to pull Rakitic up. The two also high-fived each other to celebrate a successful defense just now.

Corner goals are relatively poor for Barcelona, ​​and the overall height of their players is much worse than that of Manchester City.

Xavi did not drive into the penalty area, but took a tactical corner kick and passed it to Butzkes next to him. The latter took the ball two steps forward and gave it to Puyol, who was unguarded outside the penalty area.

The old captain took a kick to meet the ball. He didn't press down, but went high.

This is actually Barcelona's first shot in this game, and it has been 12 minutes.

Guardiola on the sidelines lowered his head and thought about what Su Bai wanted to do. After more than ten minutes, he already knew very well that he had indeed brought out the physical confrontation and physical advantages of the Premier League team. On Barcelona's side, very few hit near the frontcourt penalty area.

Was crushed in his own half.

Sure enough, Manchester City did not let themselves down. They are indeed a strong team, and the pressure on Barcelona is not comparable to that of Arsenal and Miners.

Guardiola also saw the cage Su Bai built for Messi, but are you too obvious?Take a look at Su Bai, who will always stand on the sidelines as long as the game is played, can't you see the loopholes in Manchester City's defense?
Or did you do it on purpose?
Cahill and Baines used to form a cage, so what about the defensive area of ​​​​Manchester City's right center back, really look down on my Villa and Pedro?
For a while, Guardiola did not agree with Su Bai's approach.

But the Barcelona players on the field have already discovered the opportunity. They are all top football players. An attack by Villa and Keita was discovered by the Barcelona players.

In the 15th minute, Kaka received a long pass from Maicon on the right side of the penalty area, turned around and shot from a small angle, but was blocked by defensive player Mascherano. Butzkes received the ball and did not give Bell a chance to counter-rob. The point was given to Alves on the right, who quickly passed Harvey forward.

Xavi gave Messi again. When the three Manchester City players surrounded him, Messi passed back to Xavi. The latter changed direction and went straight to Pedro.

Saber's speed is not slow, and he wants to go in from the midfielder's ribs when he catches the ball.

Kompany came over, and the saber was very accurate in finding opportunities. When he saw Kompany, he knew he had a position. He turned sideways and passed the ball. The half-high ball bypassed Kompany and landed in the upper left corner of the penalty area.

Followed by Butzkes who came up from behind and Milner who has been following him.

Butzkes still took the initiative, relying on Milner to stop the ball, he was just one step into the penalty area, and he wanted to forcefully wipe it.

Milner was decisive and stretched out his foot to hook Butzkes.

The latter fell in front of the penalty area line.

"Referee, yellow card, this is a yellow card action."

"Nothing," Milner shook his hand at Stark from the side, saying that this was just an ordinary foul and it was not enough to get a card.

Stark warned Milner, did not play a card, and gave Barcelona a free kick a little before the penalty area line.

Messi and Harvey stood in front of the ball. They were too close to the goal. In addition, Manchester City had a high wall. It was not a good position. The players who shot the goal had to be very skilled.

It is very difficult for the ball to go around the wall and fall immediately.

Both Messi and Harvey are top free kick masters, and their shooting skills are also top-notch. Anyone can make such a kick.

Hart nervously arranged the human wall, sealing his near corner.

There was a lot of rain on my face, so I wiped it with my arms left and right, and stared at the ball closely.
