When the players of both sides appeared in the passage and were waiting to appear, Iniesta was greeting Glory.

Glory returned the gift, but he did not go up and chat with Iniesta.

The same goes for the other party.

But everyone had smiles on their faces and nodded frequently.

This scene naturally fell into the lens of those TV cameras and spread throughout the world through live broadcast signals.

Everyone was not surprised by this scene, because Glory and many Barcelona players had a good relationship, which everyone knew.

So it is normal for both sides to have a harmonious relationship before the game.

Maybe this will be a win-win match between friendship and outcome?

Even if either side wins the ball, the other side will probably not be resentful, right?

Many people thought of this scene so much.

But when the game started, they realized that they were thinking too much.

From the first minute of the game, Manchester City and Barcelona were in a fierce match.

Manchester City took advantage of their home court to launch several rounds of fierce offensives against Barcelona's goal.

However, these rounds of offense have not allowed Manchester City to score.

After playing these rounds of attacks, Manchester City quickly retracted its goal, no longer playing in the half-time against Barcelona like before.

"...Manchester City's fierce offensive ends, now it's Barcelona's turn to attack... When Barcelona controls the ball, they slowly push forward, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to attack..."

"Of course, Manchester City recycled it very quickly, and there was no room for a rush to hit it. It would be better to slowly push it back. Anyway, this is also the one that Barcelona is good at..." said Alan Hansen.

The commentator who had commented on countless games was also a little nervous at this moment.

Barcelona is at its peak, and this is the strongest opponent Manchester City has ever encountered.

What performance can Manchester City perform when facing Barcelona?

He doesn't want Manchester City, who represents England, to be too ugly...

Last season, Barcelona successfully reached the top of Europe because they defeated Manchester United in the Champions League final.

Manchester has two professional teams. Manchester United has always been more famous than Manchester City and Manchester United is stronger than Manchester City.

As a result, Manchester United lost no temper at all.

Barcelona is really too strong.

Now it's another Manchester team, Manchester City, to face Barcelona. Will their performance be better or worse than Manchester United?

Xavi held the ball and saw the Manchester City players who were waiting for the ball.

Manchester City returned to defense very quickly, and Xavi was not surprised by this. Many teams would die miserably if the replay speed was not fast enough when facing Barcelona.

So Manchester City's quick defense is right.

He didn't expect him to look up and find that Manchester City's backcourt was full of endless prairie, letting him gallop.

Since Manchester City has returned to defense quickly enough, don't worry now.

He saw Messi running from the side to the middle and coming to pick him up, so he passed the football over.

As soon as Messi got the ball, the commentator and the commentator in the studio behind the TV station exclaimed: "It's Messi who gets the ball now."

The air above Manchester City Stadium seemed to have frozen a little, and the voices of Manchester City fans were smaller than before.

Everyone frowned and looked at Messi, because of concern and nervousness, and even forgot to make a boo or something, which is why the sound on the court was a little less.

Messi has such an effect as soon as he gets the ball. It has to be said that Messi is indeed the number one person in football today. If there is no glory, his title will be gone. But now, there is still a question mark.

While Messi received the ball, Manchester City's defensive player Gareth Barry rushed up.

But Messi did not fight him head-on, but quickly passed the football out and passed it back to Xavi.

Don't think Messi is afraid, at the same time he turns around and runs forward.

Of course, Gareth Barry did not let Messi go, and turned around and chased back.

In this case, Xavi did not pass the football directly, but passed it to Iniesta.

Iniesta turned around and dribbled forward, attracting the defensive attention of Manchester City players.

But at this moment, Iniesta suddenly pushed the football out in a diagonal line.

At the same time, Messi, who was running forward, suddenly accelerated and took the ball first.

"Messi"

Before John Mortson's shout was finished, Messi had already shot

Although Joe Hart made a save, his save was obviously slower...

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the football kicked out by Messi, and Barcelona fans were ready to chant and celebrate, their butts were lifted from the seats.

But the football finally slipped through the door

"The ball... didn't go in." The Catalonian commentator wanted to say "the ball went in", but when he saw the football slipping past the goal, he had to change his lines.

This twist was a bit hard and almost made him cough.

However, compared to Barcelona's loss of goals, this is nothing.

In the stands and in front of the TV, countless Barcelona fans sighed.

If this were at Camp Nou, the entire stadium would probably be surrounded by sighs.

But this is at Manchester City Stadium, Manchester City's home court. When the football flew over the goal post, there was a huge scream, followed by the cheers that survived the disaster.

"Messi's shot slipped out, it was so dangerous, Barcelona almost took the lead just eight minutes into the game," exclaimed John Motson.

"Barcelona's offense is indeed very good. The passing and running just now is very thoughtful. Although it was for Messi in the end, it diverted everyone's attention before... After all, if Iniesta gets the ball, Manchester City's defensive players will never dare to leave it alone. This has caused slackness in the defense against Messi..." Alan Hansen explained.

"If we continue to fight like this, Manchester City is very dangerous..." John Motterson was worried.

"This is naturally. Barcelona's offense is very strong, especially their cross-run cooperation... is simply impeccable. This game will be the most severe test that Benitez's Manchester City has faced. Compared with Barcelona, ​​neither Manchester United, Real Madrid nor Bayern Munich are anything else..." Alan Hansen took the opportunity to hack three giants.

The English commentator was scared of Messi's outstanding performance, but Messi himself was not satisfied with his performance.

Before this shot, he accelerated and threw away Gareth Barry staring at him. He was temporarily in an unmarked state. Although Godin was blocking the front, he was still more than two meters away. He should not miss this level of defense.

But he still missed a little.

Although it was already a very threatening attack, Messi was not satisfied.

It's not that he blamed himself.

You should know that the person Messi faces in this game is glory, and he must not fail to demand strictness of himself.

Although the whole world says that Messi is the number one person in the world, Messi always feels that there is a tiger behind him chasing him. As long as he relaxes a little, the tiger will pounce from behind and press him to the ground.

Messi was also anxious just to talk about this game because he knew too well that Glory was so good. If he could not score first, help the team gain a lead and suppress Manchester City at the team level, Glory might rewrite the result of this game at any time...

To be an opponent of Rongguang, he must do his best to squeeze his potential as much as possible.

Any mistake is not allowed.

So playing football like this is actually very tiring, which is much more tiring than Messi's La Liga and other Champions League games.

But Messi didn't find it painful.

Instead, he enjoyed the feeling.

Because that's what he's been waiting for, and wins against him in a formal key game.

Messi has been waiting for this opportunity, but since the 205 World Youth Championship final, he has never had the chance to be an opponent of Rongguang in the game - not to mention the official game, he can only be a teammate with Rongguang in games like a friendly match.

Who gave people the impression that he had a good personal relationship with Rong Guang and had a good relationship?

So everyone treats him as Rong Guang’s teammate, even Rong Guang himself is the same.

When organizing a charity competition, I called Messi and asked him to be his teammate.

Messi was really embarrassed to refuse.

Sometimes Messi actually envied Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although they had never defeated glory, they let the whole world know that they were the enemies of glory and that they were aiming to defeat glory.

But I can't say such things.

In fact, his goal is not to be teammates with Rongguang, but to... defeat Rongguang.

So when it was said that Rong Guang was coming to Barcelona, ​​Iniesta was very happy, but Messi did not want this to come true. Of course, on the surface, he definitely could not express his true thoughts like this. When others asked him, he could only smile and say that he was willing to be teammates with Rong Guang.

After Rongguang was unable to come to Barcelona due to serious injuries, to be honest, Messi was relieved.

Finally... I don't have to be teammates with Rongguang, so I still have a chance to defeat him.

After this idea came out, Messi had time to think that Glory was seriously injured and became so serious. Is there any meaning to defeat him in the future?

Defeating a disabled glory is not glorious at all.

Fortunately, the performance after Rong Guang's comeback made Messi relieved - he is still very strong and worth defeating himself

Only by defeating the strongest glory can you prove that you are stronger than the strongest

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Rongguang.

He found that Glory was also looking at him.

The moment the two people met, Messi suddenly became a little panicked. He quickly lowered his eyes and ran back.
Chapter completed!
