Chapter 249 The galloping Lin Quan, the silent Camp Nou!

"CCTV, CCTV!"

"Dear viewers, this is the live broadcast of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Barcelona and Manchester City at home for you!"

In the CCTV live broadcast room, He Wei and Xu Yang introduced the formations and starting lineups of the two teams in a fast tone, and then said:

"This is Lin Quan's first return to Camp Nou on behalf of another team after leaving Barcelona. I wonder how he will perform against his old club at Camp Nou today?"

Stepping into the Camp Nou stadium, the boos and abuses that Lin Quan expected did not appear.

Barcelona fans did not attack him, but simply ignored his existence.

They cheered loudly for every player who played and chanted the names of Barcelona players in unison.

When the DJ at the scene read the names of Neymar, Messi and others, the cheers reached its peak.

We have Messi, we have Neymar, we don’t need a player who is not loyal to Barcelona!

This is probably what they are really thinking at the moment!

Lin Quan just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

He was not interested in knowing what Barcelona fans were thinking.

The only thought in his heart at this moment is to take away victory from here!

The chief referee of this game is Kuppels, from the Netherlands.

He ranked third in the 2013 referee rating and is a referee with outstanding abilities.

Kuppers' law enforcement standards are relatively strict and he likes to give cards.

Historically, in this season's Champions League final, Kuppers showed a total of 12 yellow cards to the two teams fighting, making him a card-dealing machine.

This is obviously very disadvantageous for Manchester City, because they are used to loose penalty standards in the Premier League, and suddenly they will be very uncomfortable when encountering referees with such tight penalty standards, and it is easy to get cards.

At 19:00 in the evening, with the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

Manchester City, wearing blue jerseys, occupied the right side of the pitch and attacked from right to left.

Barcelona, ​​wearing red and blue jerseys, occupies the left side of the court and attacks from left to right.

Barcelona took the lead to kick off, and Messi handed the ball to Neymar and ran forward.

Neymar passed the ball back to Iniesta and then quickly ran to the wing.

Barcelona played very actively after the start. This is their own home court and they don't need to be conservative.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Barcelona's players pressed hard, and the football was quickly passed back and forth under their feet. Manchester City's players began to experience the power of Barcelona's passing and controlling the football.

In the 3rd minute, after Barcelona passed many passes in the frontcourt, Xavi suddenly sent a through ball.

Messi started early before Xavi passed the ball, instantly shook off the defensive player and received the pass from his teammate at the front of the penalty area.

He adjusted his posture to shoot, attracted Manchester City's defender to attack, and then quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Zabaleta and Kompany were both attracted to Messi and rushed towards him.

However, Messi did not choose to shoot himself, but passed the ball to Neymar who came from the wing into the penalty area.

Neymar received the ball and shot directly without stopping. The ball was very threatening, but Joe Hart was very focused and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"Concentrate and don't miss anyone on either side of the wing!"

Joe Hart stood up from the ground and loudly reminded his teammates.

Facing a top team like Barcelona, ​​any mistake they make may be a fatal blow to their opponent.

Kolarov raised his hand apologetically, indicating that he made a mistake with the ball.

He did not stick to Neymar immediately, giving the opponent a chance to shoot.

Seeing that Neymar missed the shot, Messi touched his chin, lowered his head, turned and left the Manchester City penalty area, preparing to take a corner kick.

Neymar hugged his head with some annoyance. Such a good opportunity was wasted. If this goal had been scored, he would have become a hero of Barcelona.

A corner kick was taken and Kompany found the spot.

But there were Barcelona players on the outside, and the ball that was cleared was quickly controlled by Barcelona.

Xavi tried a long shot, which hit the defender and bounced back.

De Bruyne and Iniesta both rushed towards the football, the two collided and both fell to the ground.

The referee stopped the game and went to check on the injury.

Fortunately, the two men were not injured and the game resumed quickly.

The referee awarded the ball to Manchester City. However, before the ball could be passed out, it was intercepted under Barcelona's pressing. Barcelona continued to lay siege to Manchester City's goal.

A few minutes before the opening, the situation on the field was very passive for Manchester City. The football was always in their own half. Their formation was very compressed. Even if they got the ball, they could not spread the formation immediately, forming a

Effective counterattack.

Seeing the team's advantage, the Barcelona fans who came to Camp Nou were very excited and happily sang the Barcelona team song.

"We are believers in the color blue!"

"We share the same faith!"

"We have a name that will dominate the world!"

"Barcelona!"

"Barcelona!!"

“Barcelona!!!”

Amid the loud singing of Barcelona fans, Barcelona launched wave after wave of fierce attacks against Manchester City.

In the 13th minute, Messi's shot after a breakthrough was blocked by Joe Hart with his legs.

In the 17th minute, Neymar's long shot went over the crossbar.

In the 22nd minute, Iniesta's back shot hit the post!

…

Barcelona is getting closer and closer to scoring!

We can't continue like this, the team is too passive!

Thinking of this, Lin Quan simply withdrew and joined the defense.

In the 27th minute, the football came to Messi's feet again.

Just as Messi was about to dribble the ball forward, he felt someone appear in front of him.

He raised his head and glanced at the other person out of habit, and his pupils suddenly shrank - it was Lin!

Why doesn't he stay in the frontcourt and run to the backcourt?

"Here we go, Lin Huang is finally facing off against Messi!"

"Who can win? Who is xdm optimistic about?"

"That must be the club champion. Lin Huang is not a dedicated defensive player. If he defends Messi, it will only be better than putting a wooden stake in front of Messi!"

"Haha, it's too much, too much. Although Lin Huang's defensive ability is not up to the top level, it is pretty good among forwards!"

"Having said that, aren't forwards used for offense? Whose forwards are used for defense?"

Netizens think this sentence is very funny. The defensive ability of forwards is generally not strong. What is the use of being a strong defensive player among forwards?

"Manchester City was suppressed so miserably in the first thirty minutes. Just looking at the scene, I feel that the two teams are not on the same level!"

"It's nothing. If you often watch Barcelona play, you will know that they have always played like this. If you look at the ball possession rate and so on, the gap between the two sides is even greater."

"Barcelona's passing and controlling pressure is very strong, but it's hard to say whether it can be converted into goals. This season, I always feel that their offensive ability is not as good as last year."

"It is indeed not as good as last year. Last year, Barcelona scored 115 goals in the league. Although there are still 7 games left this year, the 26-goal gap feels like it cannot be recovered at all."

"Isn't it said that Neymar is very strong? Why did Barcelona's offensive power drop after he joined Barcelona?"

"The horse is really good, but Barcelona's midfielder is aging. Xavi's condition this season is much worse than last season, and he is older and his energy is not as good as before. It will be difficult for him to continue to play the whole game. Once

Without Xavi's command and dispatch, Barcelona's offensive firepower has dropped by no means a little bit!"

"Barcelona must continue to sign players this summer. If they don't sign players to strengthen the team, I'm afraid their record will decline further next season!"

On the court, Messi was just surprised.

After he figured out that Lin Quan was an offensive player and not a defensive player, he no longer had any worries in his mind.

Even your defenders can't guard me, it's useless even if you come here!

Messi flicked the ball and prepared to rush past Lin Quan.

However, as if Lin Quan saw through his intention, he stretched out his foot to grab the ball the moment he picked it up.

If it were an ordinary player, Lin Quan might not be able to defend him.

But when it comes to Messi, it's different.

After all, he is using the template of peak Messi, and he knows exactly what Messi is going to do.

Lin Quan's action surprised Messi, who quickly adjusted to try to control the ball at his feet.

In the past, Messi's move has been successful against other defensive players.

But today, he met his opponent.

Lin Quan's foot frequency was the same as his, or even faster than his.

Lin Quan touched the ball first, and he intended to pass the ball to Aguero near the center line.

Although Messi's kick was half a beat too slow, he still hit the ball, causing the ball's flight direction to change.
