Chapter 420 Ibrahimovic's Revenge
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and no one made a substitution.
Barcelona kicked off in the first half, and Manchester City kicked off in the second half.
In the first half, Barcelona took advantage of their kick-off opportunity to keep the ball firmly under their feet, and passed it back and forth for five minutes before shooting the ball towards Manchester City's goal, fully reflecting the characteristics of Barcelona football.
After Manchester City kicked off, they did not make so many midfield and backcourt footsteps. They just passed the football back a few kicks, pulled out the Barcelona players, and sent the football to the side and walked forward through the side.
The football passed to Kaka's feet.
Kaka took the ball on the left and played very well against Real Madrid, with two goals in two rounds.
So he is also the target of Barcelona players' focus on defense. Facing Barcelona players' defense, Kaka did not make a forcibly breaking through like Glory. He gave the football to Sneijder who came up to pick him up.
Sneider took the ball and turned around, passing the ball to Ibrahimovic who retreated outside to pick up.
After Ibrahimovic received the ball, he made a fake move to turn from his left side, and the center of gravity of Busquez deviated from his body.
Then he used his left foot to push the ball to the right, while his body turned right.
Found out that he was cheated, Butskes rushed back and rushed forward, intending to hit Ibrahimovic.
At this moment, Ibrahimovic, who had completed the turn, swung his left foot and kicked directly at the football... and shot!
When Butsques bumped into him, the football was already kicked at the goal by Ibrahimovic.
His collision can't do anything to interfere with it...
The football drew an arc in the air, bypassed the central defender Pique who was blocking the front, and flew straight towards the goal. Valdes saw the football bypass Pique, so he rose up and rushed to the side.
But his hand didn't touch the football.
The football drew a very exaggerated arc in the air, bypassing his hand from afar, and then... hit the post head-on, and then bounced into the goal from the inside of the post!
The ball went in again!
The second half started just one minute before the ball flew into Barcelona's goal for the second time!
The person who scored this time was Ibrahimovic!
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh !!! Zlatan! Zlatan Ibrahimovic!! Beautiful goal! Awesome goal! A genius fatal blow!"
John Motson shouted excitedly.
Amid his roar, Ibrahimovic turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, then directly kicked the kick of Taekwondo, kicking away the corner flag pole inserted on the ground!
He used this celebration to vent his inner emotions.
Every time he faces Barcelona, his heart is like the volcano that is about to erupt.
This is especially true after seeing Messi perform well.
Because no matter what, when he left Barcelona, he gave people the impression that he was a "desergeant".
Only by defeating Barcelona can he relieve this impression of him in people's hearts.
In the Champions League final last season, Manchester City defeated Barcelona, and he himself scored a goal in the final, helping Manchester City defeat Barcelona 4-1.
But that goal did not satisfy Ibrahimovic.
Because the person who really made a big splash in that game was Rong Guang, not him. Even his only goal came from Rong Guang's assist. Before he shot, Rong Guang had solved all the problems and gave him a nanny assist. His goal was not a very difficult thing. If he didn't score, it would be a difficult thing...
And that ball is just an icing goal on the cake and cannot change the outcome of the game.
So after Nacha, you were over, Ibrahimovic was still not satisfied. He felt that such a performance would be difficult to call "revenge". He looked more like a player with glory, no different from other players who came to embrace glory thighs.
With Ibrahimovic's temper, how could he accept such an evaluation?
So when facing Barcelona this time, he seemed very excited, vigorous and motivated.
He wants to show his true strength in this game and let everyone see that if Ibrahimovic stayed in Barcelona, he should be qualified to play as the core.
Finally, this goal achieved his goal. It was a very beautiful goal, and without the help of Glory, he scored a goal that belonged entirely to him.

"Ibrahimovic gave Barcelona a heavy blow! While Barcelona were planning to equalize the score, Manchester City expanded its leading advantage! Now, it is difficult to play in Barcelona's away game... Ibrahimovic is in very good shape, and the goal is also beautiful, and it is an absolute world wave!"
Alan Hansen laughed: "I think it is absolutely premeditated that Manchester City is collecting players who have conflicts with their former clubs everywhere. In the last game against Real Madrid, Kaka was in a very good condition. And this time he played against Barcelona, it was Ibrahimovic's turn to get angry!"
"After you say this... it seems like this is true!" John Motterson thought for a moment and smiled, "It's simply the Avengers!"
The American superhero movie masterpiece "Avengers", jointly produced by Marvel Studios and Disney, will be released next month. Now media publicity has been fully launched, so "Avengers" is also a popular word. Although this statement has long existed in Marvel comics, it is well-known around the world and is still based on movies.
It is a coincidence that John Motterson compared Manchester City to the "Avengers", because the popular movie "Avengers" is not released nowadays, but his casual statement has become a classic in the future. Many years later, when people mention the powerful "Blue Moon", they will immediately think of their nickname "Avengers".
This is a team composed of waste that the former boss doesn't want, and he tries every means to drive away the burden, and a complete disagreement with the former boss.
They can't be happy or successful in their original team.
When they came to Manchester City, they were all considered to be for money without exception. They no longer had the courage and fighting spirit to pursue the championship. They just wanted to make a fortune and left.
But then their performance at Manchester City gave everyone who thought so loudly.
Manchester City, composed of such a group of people, swept across the UK and the European continent, just like "The Avengers" in the global box office market that year, swept over those historical and current movies, and jumped to the third place in the global box office, second only to Avatar and Titanic.

Barcelona took a bigger blow after Ibrahimovic scored the goal.
Barcelona are used to the goal of Glory, but Ibrahimovic's goal, and such a beautiful goal, did hurt Barcelona very much.
Everyone knows that Barcelona doesn't want this, and Barcelona himself knows very well. In order to ensure Messi's core position, they swept Ibrahimovic out.
So Ibrahimovic has been very resentful towards Barcelona, Messi and Guardiola until now.
He mentioned this more than once in his autobiography.
However, Barcelona never regretted choosing Messi between him and Messi.
They believe that Messi is more suitable for Barcelona, both in terms of personal abilities, technical and tactical style, or in terms of player temperament and image.
So Barcelona did not regret staying Messi and letting Ibrahimovic go.
But today, for the first time, they had such a little regret.
Maybe it’s not that I regret letting Ibrahimovic go, but that I regret doing so well in the battle between Ibrahimovic and Messi…
When a person like Ibrahimovic faces you with anger, you should be prepared to be burned to ashes by his anger.

Guardiola in the TV close-up shot was frowning, and her expression was very serious, so severe that it was even a little bitter...
He knew it would be difficult to play against Manchester City away because in the past three seasons, he led the team to play against Manchester City in three games and lost all three games.
So he was ready to lose the away game, but even if he lost, he hoped that Barcelona would score away goals, and at the same time, he could not lose too ugly on the scene.
But now... I just lost one goal in the first half, and I just lost another goal in the second half... This scene really can't be considered good-looking.
Most importantly, Manchester City has allowed the whole world to see again and again the helpless embarrassment of Barcelona's cosmic team.
Very embarrassing, very embarrassing.
At the same time, Guardiola also saw the bottleneck in Barcelona.
I led this team to win the six championships, but now it seems that it may be difficult to make any progress...
If he continues to coach Barcelona, it will be meaningless for his coaching career.
From the personnel composition to the development of technology and tactics, this team has been solidified and it is impossible to make any improvements.
But it can be seen from the matters of Messi and Ibrahimovic.
If Ibrahimovic wants to compete with Messi for the core position, he will not talk about who is better and who is better. Even competition is not allowed. Messi's core position is talented and no one can shake it.
Of course, judging from the team's performance, Messi and other Barcelona players and their skills are like a stable triangle, and it is impossible to miss any corner.
If Ibrahimovic was replaced, the triangle might be unstable.
But what the outcome is that it is only a possibility, and Barcelona's problem is to reject all changes.
Guardiola realized that if he had new pursuits in his coaching career, he might have to consider leaving this team that gave him countless glory...
However, he was still unwilling to lose to Manchester City again and was eliminated again.
