Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

In Rijkaard's coaching dictionary, there is almost no word "cowardly".

But today.

Facing Manchester City, which is gradually gaining momentum and fighting a desperate battle.

The Dutchman rarely asked his players to pull back the line and turned into a defensive posture.

In the next period of time.

Manchester City is the main attacker.

Barcelona is the main defender.

Although the defense of the Dream II Dynasty has always been criticized, it is also compared with other top clubs.

For a while.

Manchester City really couldn't find another chance to score.

Time passed.

"The game entered the 30th minute."

"In the past 10 minutes."

"Neither team had a direct shot."

"Barcelona, ​​who had a big lead in the score, played against Manchester City at the beginning and achieved a 1:2 result."

"Decisively gave up the attack."

"Choose a more stable main defense."

"And they also stabilized the situation."

- [It's bad, Barcelona is not reckless. 】

-【Is Barcelona afraid? 】

-【Barcelona afraid? Barcelona is starting to play it safe. Even if they don't score next, Manchester City still needs 4 goals to have a chance to win.】

-【Alas, Barcelona really doesn't give them a chance. 】

Manchester City failed to continue the scoring fever at the beginning, and the fans' enthusiasm also dissipated.

..............................................

Another 10 minutes passed.

Manchester City firmly occupied the situation in terms of ball possession, but Barcelona also began to play the bus in front of the goal.

In the face of Barcelona's airtight defense, Manchester City's mobile warfare was very mediocre.

Blue Moon fans in the stands of Etihad Stadium.

The volume of the singing gradually decreased.

More and more fans fell into silence, as if waiting for a slow death.

Regular time came to the 45th minute.

The referee raised the 1-minute injury time sign.

Rijkaard turned around and started talking to the assistant coach, discussing the tactics and substitutions for the second half.

"The midfield position can be withdrawn a little further."

"Yeah... that's right!"

"You can replace another striker. Who do you think is better..."

"......"

"Beep!"

The sudden whistle on the court made Rijkaard look up.

It turned out that Cassano kicked the ball into Van Bronckhorst's leg, creating a corner kick on the left.

This ordinary corner kick.

Did not attract much attention from the Dutch.

Waved his hand.

Signaled goalkeeper Valdés to command himself and arrange the defense in the penalty area.

........................................

On the court.

Both sides began to deploy their troops.

Everyone knew that this should be the last attack before the end of the first half.

Barcelona players took their positions according to their usual training.

Puyol followed Su Fei, hesitated for a moment, and waved to another central defender, Max.

Although Barcelona players subconsciously did not think that Manchester City could score.

But Puyol still chose the safer double-man defense of Su Fei.

After all.

Su Fei's first goal at the beginning of the game was scored with an unsolvable violent scramble.

The linesman was about to raise the flag to signal, and Puyol was struggling to be stuck in front of or behind Su Fei.

Suddenly heard Su Fei beside him speak.

"Do you think I can score?"

"......"

Puyol did not answer Su Fei, he subconsciously got closer to Su Fei.

Left corner area.

After Modric determined Su Fei's position.

He raised his leg and kicked the bottom of the football.

Sent it out of the penalty area.

An arc was drawn in the air, and 55,000 pairs of eyes in the Etihad Stadium were also staring at the football flying in the air.

Puyol's legs were slightly bent.

Then.

There was nothing else.

Because when he subconsciously prepared to jump for the header, Su Fei, who was close to him, had already taken the lead.

He burst into the air instantly.

The football.

It landed accurately on Su Fei's head.

"Bang!!!"

The explosion sounded again.

What time.

The long-lost thunderous cheers of the Blue Moon fans rang out at the Etihad Stadium.

"GGGGG----OOOOO----AAAAA----LLLLL!"

"GGGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!!"

"GOAL!"

"GOAL!"

"GOAL!"

"GOAL, GOAL!"

"Su Fei!"

"Come on!"From Modric's left corner kick, Su Fei headed the ball into the goal! ! "

"Hat trick! ! "

"Su Fei successfully completed a hat trick in the injury time of the first half!"

"3:1! ! "

"Manchester City has already taken a 3:1 lead in this game!"

In the ESPN live broadcast room, Wang Tao cheered excitedly.

After cheering.

Looking at the score (3) 3:1 (5) on the big screen, he couldn't help but have a little fantasy.

Since Manchester City was able to score 3 goals against Barcelona in the first half.

Then in the second half...

Does it have a chance to score 3 goals?

On the court.

After scoring the goal, Su Fei looked at the somewhat confused Puyol with a slight smile.

"It seems that I can score."

Puyol's expression was inconsistent, and he couldn't help but say.

"Are you very proud? What are you proud of! You still need 3 goals! ! "

However.

Su Fei ignored him.

Turned around and high-fived his teammates who were celebrating around him.

...................................................

After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The passionate Manchester City team song "Blue Moon" rang out at the Etihad Stadium.

"Blue Moon!"

"You know just what I was there for!"

"You heard me saying a prayer for!"

The blue ocean surged in the stands.

3:1 at halftime!

This result was completely beyond the original expectations of all fans.

It turned out that.

The powerful Barcelona is not invincible.

We are not completely powerless to fight back and are at the mercy of others.

However.

Another saying began to spread among some rational fans.

"Fxxxk! If we could score 3 goals in the last game, no, even 2 would be fine."

"Yes! ”

“Even if we scored 3 goals now, and Barcelona scored another goal, we still need 3 goals...”

“That’s all I can say.”

“Today’s work may be in vain.”

“Barcelona is not stupid, how could they give so many chances in the second half?”

Very strange.

Manchester City’s third goal.

It made many Blue Moon fans even more uncomfortable.

Because it proves that Manchester City in normal condition can compete with Barcelona.

But it happened.

It fell into this situation now.

..............................................

Players from both sides followed the head coach back to the locker room.

In the away team’s locker room.

Rijkaard was not disappointed or angry at the 3:1 score at halftime.

His emotions were very stable.

Instead, he comforted some of the somewhat uneasy Barcelona players.

“Relax, gentlemen.”

“Believe in yourself and your teammates, we won’t let them score again in the second half. ”

“If they can beat us 6:1 today, then we wouldn’t have been beaten 4:0 in the last game, right?”

This is what the Dutchman said.

It’s easy for Barcelona players to accept and adjust their mentality.

Rijkaard nodded, then stood in front of the tactical board and moved the chess pieces representing the players.

“Come on, everyone, look here.”

“The only thing we have to do is to further strengthen our defense in the second half.”

“Believe me, when the whistle blows at the end of the game, we will definitely be the winner.”
