After a series of attacks from Manchester United in the opening period, the ball finally reached the feet of Barcelona.

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola is young, but his team is very sophisticated, Xavi grabbed the ball and directly kicked it back to defender Pique, allowing his team-mate to reverse the ball at the back and attract Manchester United's players.

Although Manchester United attacks fiercely when the ball is at their feet, fans do not think that when Barcelona controls the ball, Manchester United dares to press up and force it, because Barcelona's possession is unparalleled in the world, once Manchester United presses up and makes a steal, Barcelona's counterattack is very deadly.

However, today's Manchester United once again surprised everyone, after Barcelona's return pass to the backfield, Manchester United's three lines immediately pressed and pressed, and did not wait for Barcelona to attack in their own half.

Barcelona was a little unprepared for Manchester United's high pressing, and their back four system could not control the ball calmly under the ferocious pressing of Hernandez, Rooney, Park Ji-sung and Valencia, and wanted to pass the ball forward, but the midfielder and two full-backs led by Gao Xiaodong also pressed up, not giving Barcelona's defenders space to pass the ball to the midfield.

Pique had no choice but to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Valdés under pressure from Wayne Rooney.

Valdés didn't dare to be careless under Rooney's hot pursuit, and drove forward with a big kick.

Barcelona's skills are very good, but no matter how good the goalkeeper is, he will not have a long pass like Xavi and Pirlo, Valdés drove directly to the Manchester United penalty area with a big kick, and was picked up by goalkeeper Van der Sar's easy hands.

The on-site commentator added: "To be able to push Barcelona into a scramble and have to kick big, Manchester United's courage today is truly amazing, and now it looks like this game has the talent to become a classic, no matter what the final result is." ”

Van der Sar wore the captain's armband today, and it was the last game of his career, Van der Sar was hungry for victory more than anyone else, and after he got the ball, he didn't think conservatively about passing to the defenders, and after looking at his teammates in front of him, Van der Sar kicked it forward.

I have to say that Van der Sar is old and spicy, the moment he passed, the Barcelona players were pressing forward, putting Rooney and Hernandez in an offside position, although Rooney and Hernandez were offside, Gao Xiaodong quickly inserted behind the Barcelona defenders when they were offside, and Van der Sar's pass was looking for Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong has super glasses, so he doesn't need to deliberately look back at the movements of his teammates, everything around him can be seen.

When Van der Sar made a long pass, Gao Xiaodong accelerated instantly, overtook Pique and Mascherano in one fell swoop, and went straight to the ball landing point.

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés is not unknown, he saw Gao Xiaodong throw off his defender, he did not hesitate to rush to the outside of the penalty area and compete with Gao Xiaodong for the landing point.

After all, the ball flew towards Valdés, who was faster than Gao Xiaodong, and he grabbed Gao Xiaodong's header before clearing the ball and pushing the ball to the sideline.

Alves jumped up and didn't touch the ball, the ball flew off the touchline and United were awarded a throw-in.

Although the ball went out of the sideline and relieved the danger, the Barcelona fans at the scene still nervously let out one exclamation after another.

Although Gao Xiaodong didn't touch this ball, the situation was very dangerous, and once Gao Xiaodong got the ball, it was likely to be a chance to break the goal.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who was on the scene, had a gloomy face, obviously dissatisfied with Barcelona's offside tactics.

Manchester United's tactic today is to play the pace of the game faster, after the ball went out of the sideline, Fabio quickly ran to the sidelines, and threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong with both hands.

Gao Xiaodong has Harvey behind him, and when Gao Xiaodong receives the ball, Harvey directly pushes Gao Xiaodong's back, trying to destroy Gao Xiaodong to get the ball.

Gao Xiaodong was prepared, did not stop the ball, and directly chested Fabio who served.

Gao Xiaodong was pushed and almost rushed out of the court, but Fabio unloaded the ball with his chest and dribbled to Barcelona's bottom line.

But at this time, Messi had already returned, Fabio didn't take a few steps, and was caught up by Messi from behind, Fabio stopped urgently and wanted to get rid of Messi, but Messi was too flexible and fast, and he hooked his feet and broke the ball off Fabio's feet.

Messi was about to run forward with the ball, and when Fabio pounced, Messi flicked the ball right past Fabio and then scurried to the United half.

Gao Xiaodong quickly rushed towards Messi before Fabio was shaken.

Gao Xiaodong's past defense was already very fast, but Gao Xiaodong was not as good as Messi in terms of agility, Messi saw Gao Xiaodong pounce and dodged again, avoiding Gao Xiaodong, and preparing to continue to break through along the side with the ball.

Gao Xiaodong has a strong sense of defense, and at the first time when he failed to save, Gao Xiaodong reached out and grabbed Messi's jersey.

Gao Xiaodong has the essence of defense, he is not fierce when he pulls Messi, and after terminating Messi's opportunity to accelerate running, Gao Xiaodong turned around and went around in front of Messi to defend Messi head-on.

The fans in the stands were pleasantly surprised, the competition between Gao Xiaodong and Messi was one of the highlights of the game, and the fans didn't expect the two superstars to be tough so soon.

However, just when the fans were waiting to watch the show be staged, the referee Kaushoi blew the whistle in confusion and sentenced Gao Xiaodong to foul Messi just now.

There was no big problem with the penalty this time, but Kaushoi's whistle sounded too slowly, and Gao Xiaodong was very unhappy and wanted to explain to Kaushoi, he thought that he pulled very lightly and was not enough to foul.

However, just when Gao Xiaodong was about to explain to the referee, Messi pressed the ball on the turf and quickly sent a free kick to his teammate Villa.

Messi's quick free-kick caught United off guard, and Villa had no one to mark when he received the ball in the past.

Villa was impressed by United's quick pressing, and while he couldn't see the other directions, he knew that the opposition wouldn't give him much time to handle the ball.

Villa stopped the ball with his left foot and then flew up to shoot with his right foot.

Villa clearly underestimated the pace of United's defence and as soon as Villa's shot was completed, Nemanja Vidic flew in and slid the ball out with his face.

This time it was the United fans who were sweating on their foreheads, and although Nemanja Vidic had just broken the ball, a star of Villa's level gave him almost a suicide to shoot from the edge of the box.

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, almost jumped up in anger, and he yelled at the pitch, unhappy that Gao Xiaodong was busy explaining to the referee and did not block Messi's fast free kick.

Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief, Manchester United opened so much, he was worried that his luck was too bad to be scored by Manchester United to score a goal, at that time Manchester United was estimated to be defending, and now it seems that Barcelona's state is up, Manchester United is afraid that it will not be easy to get offensive opportunities, Guardiola is very confident in the ability of his disciples.
