Chapter four hundred and nineteenth Barca nemesis

When Rong Guang dribbled the ball into Barcelona's penalty area, there was actually no suspense. Perhaps a few people were still lucky. Then Rong Guang's shot shattered their lucky strike.

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

Valdes fell to the ground and turned around and looked at the goal in despair.

The glory of the goal ran towards the corner flag area, and then a slide came in front of the cheering Manchester City fans.

The cheers of Manchester City fans were like a volcano eruption, pouring him from all directions in the stands and flooded him.

“rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

John Motterson roared with a long voice.

"Manchester City took the lead 1:0! The game only started six minutes! Even at its home court, this start was probably something that many Manchester City fans did not expect? This was Manchester City's first attack in the whole game, with the first shot! The goal was scored! Barcelona must be crying now. They besieged Manchester City's goal for five minutes, passing by no less than 30 kicks back and forth, and finally used Messi's personal breakthrough, which was a little short of the goal. Just when they were about to make a comeback... Rong Xian scored a goal!"

Alan Hansen smiled happily because it was really interesting.

Barcelona, ​​who was murderous and determined to win, did not score the first goal, but instead allowed Manchester City to score the first goal...

"Rongguang is simply the nemesis of Barcelona!" He Ping said excitedly. "I think Barcelona must have regretted it very much. When they reached an agreement with Rongguang's agent, they went back on their word and tore up the agreement. If they had introduced Rongguang at the beginning, then Barcelona in the early 21st century would be the most terrifying thing. They would completely dominate the world football... But now, they can only be ruled!"

The TV broadcast cut gave Messi a close-up.

It was also a breakthrough by dribbling, Messi's final shot was slimmer and missed the goal.

And Glory's dribbling eventually turned into scoring.

This shot is very interesting, and seems to be telling the audience that this is the gap between Messi and Glory!

Messi in the camera frowned and looked grim.

The goal of Rongguang actually hit him quite a big blow.

Glory was like a high mountain standing in front of him, making him always think that he could arrive soon, but after running for a while, he looked up and found that the mountain was still standing quietly in front of him, not becoming more distant, but not becoming closer.

It's really hopeless...it's like all your efforts, running with all your might is just standing still.

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

That really makes people feel that they are working so hard?

The celebration of Manchester City players did not last long, and they did not give Barcelona a chance to siege the referee to protest against Manchester City's celebration for too long.

In less than a minute, Manchester City players finished their celebrations and returned to their respective positions.

Manchester City is very confident now. Perhaps before the game, various public opinion will feel that Manchester City is nervous when they meet Barcelona.

But in fact, they all guessed wrongly. When they knew that their semi-final opponent was Barcelona, ​​the Manchester City players' reaction could be summarized and described in one word.

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

It's very plain, just like other opponents they meet. Anyway, if you meet an opponent, you will be defeated. It's so simple.

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

In the eyes of others, the "Invincible Universe Team" has lost three consecutive times at Manchester City's feet. What else do you think Manchester City has to be afraid of?

They are confident that they will defeat such a team and make it to the finals.

Therefore, Ibrahimovic was surprised by the caliber of media public opinion when he was interviewed.

Everyone is talking about Barcelona’s revenge, why no one says that this is another Manchester City beat Barcelona?

It was indeed a beating. In three matches, Manchester City scored nine goals, conceded only two goals, and won all three games, with a 100% winning rate against Barcelona. If this weren't a beating, it would be unreasonable...

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

However, in the environment of war of words at that time, the confidence expressed by Manchester City players was more interpreted as "psychological war against Barcelona", which were all bluffing words, not really confident.

But it doesn't matter, just like glory. If you don't believe or feel satisfied with what I said, then I won't explain it any more. I will directly prove to you what I just said with practical actions.

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

In addition, it would be good if you can score a away goal.

Facing Barcelona's fierce attack, Manchester City returned to its previous defensive posture.

Almost everyone returned to their half and participated in the defense.

Ibrahimovic, the most forward, is also behind the middle circle.

Both Rongguang and Kaka also retreated deeply.

They were not worried about the speed of the personnel going up when they counterattacked, because Glory and Kaka were both super fast people.

In addition, they also have David Silva, a talented player who has been underestimated under the light of a superstar. His individual combat ability is also super powerful.

Having so many good cards is also the reason why Manchester City can calm down their defense and don’t have to worry about quick counterattacks.

After conceding the ball, Barcelona's passing speed increased, no longer falling back and forth like before, making people want to sleep.

Their transmission has also become simple. Messi began to catch the ball frequently and actively participated in every part of the offense. He would occasionally change positions with Iniesta.

But today Messi is like he doesn't wear shooting boots.

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

However, after Joe Hart got up, he threw the football directly to Kaka, and then Kaka, Glory, and Ibrahimovic made a counterattack, almost scoring another goal, scaring Barcelona fans very much.

"It seems that Manchester City seems to be at ease when facing Barcelona, ​​but it is easier than when they play Real Madrid... I don't know if it's my illusion," said John Motterson.

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

"So, wouldn't Barcelona be in trouble?"

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

※※※

Barcelona could not hear comments from John Motson and Alan Hansen. Although they almost scored by Manchester City, they were still attacking.

Because they don't attack, there is 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 even though we knew that we would be hit by Manchester City to fight back on our attack, Barcelona did not change their strategy.

Just in the details, they have some fine tuning.

For example, after conceding the ball, only the Barcelona player closest to the Manchester City player who controls the ball will go up to interfere and press, while the others will quickly return to defense and not fight. Before, at least two people will go up to grab a Manchester City player.

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

Manchester City is still slow to respond to Barcelona's adjustment and stick to their own strategies and styles of play.

Anyway, they are leading one ball, and they should be anxious about it.

※※※

Until the end of the first half, Barcelona was unable to equalize the score. Of course, Manchester City did not score either. Barcelona's supporters would say that Barcelona successfully prevented Manchester City from continuing to score in the first half. This seemed to be Barcelona's tactical victory. As long as they insist on this style of play, it will be Barcelona's turn to score in the second half.

But the neutrals know how to evaluate the first half.

It is obvious that Barcelona 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, could not even score a single goal against Manchester City's defense...

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

During the fifteen-minute intermission, commentators and expert commentators from all over the world were interpreting the first half. The result of the interpretation was that "Manchester City is truly the nemesis of Barcelona."

Barcelona can beat Real Madrid 3-1 this season, but they can't help but defeat Manchester City.

Some people even wonder if they would lose to Manchester City in a row, Barcelona players have formed a psychological shadow on Manchester City. They are afraid of fear when they see Manchester City. This mentality may not even know about them... The desire for revenge they showed before the game now seems to be just a bluff that is strong outside and does the middle.

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

Of course, this conclusion is not what Barcelona fans want to hear, but they can't hear it either. The commentators and commentators of Catalonia TV and radio stations all believed that Barcelona quickly stabilized their position after conceding the ball, and did not allow Manchester City to continue scoring the goal. They were full of confidence in Barcelona's performance.

Barcelona fans heard such optimistic analysis, how could they be dissatisfied?
