Chapter 1089: China's City is Stable!

"Hey, hey!"

Zidane walked to the sidelines, shouted loudly at the players on the field, and kept signaling them to hold on.

Stabilizing the position is undoubtedly the top priority of Chinatown at the moment.

This is Camp Nou, Barcelona's home stadium, even if Barcelona draws the away team, but their advantage is still not small, if China City blindly counterattacks and messes up, it is tantamount to giving Barcelona a chance.

After taking the lead, Barcelona played more calmly, patiently reversed and passed, and pulled the defense of China City as far as possible, but after opening up the defensive position of China City, Barcelona failed to effectively play their advantage in the middle.

The reason for this is that the three midfielders composed of Pogba, Kante and De Bruyne suppressed Iniesta and Rakitic, and even the goal just conceded, if it was not for Messi to take the initiative to retreat to the 30-meter area of his own side to take the ball and advance with the ball, it would be difficult for Barcelona to pass to the front.

This is an advantage of Chinatown and a key factor that can be leveraged.

Gao Han in the stands saw this, and Zidane in the stadium also understood the trick.

Slowly, after a few minutes of adjustment, Chinatown began to get out of the panic after conceding the goal and gradually stabilized its position.

The group of players in the team is no longer immature, all of them are seasoned, and they are also members of the Champions League winners, and the leading internationals of each country will no longer mess up because of a goal conceded.

Eight minutes later, Chinatown began to play a wave of attacks, with a focus on the left flank.

Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba were very advantageous on the left, causing huge problems on Alves' side, forcing Barcelona's defensive centre to tilt towards his right.

In the 10th minute, Pogba won the ball up front and linked up with Hazard, then passed back to Alex Sandro who was cutting in behind.

The Brazilian left-back picked up a cross from the back of the box without thinking, and Griezmann grabbed an open block and slotted in diagonally.

Seeing that the French winger was about to win, Bravo abandoned the goal at a critical moment, regardless of his own safety, and rushed to save before Griezmann raised his foot to shoot, and knocked the ball out with one hand.

Fortunately, Griezmann retracted his foot in time, otherwise, this kick would have been in Bravo's face, and I am afraid that blood would be splattered on the spot.

But soon, it was Chinatown that attacked again, again from the left.

Pogba picked up the ball on the edge of the box and faced the Barcelona defender and tried to pass the ball to Hazard, but the Belgian immediately returned the ball and Pogba shifted to the right.

Antoine Griezmann stopped the ball and fed it back to Montoya, who crossed to the edge of the box for De Bruyne, where the Belgian found a gap in the crowd and sent it to the back post with precision.

Eden Hazard clapped his horse to catch up, but just as he was about to do it, Otamendi took the lead and poked the ball out of the line for a corner.

Chinatown's successive attacks have torn apart Barcelona's defense, and Pogba and De Bruyne in both flanks have played key roles, which basically reflects Zidane's tactical thinking.

In the 14th minute, Pogba formed a combination with Hazard on the left side, won the ball in the penalty area, shook off Otamendi, dribbled the ball sideways to the goal on the bottom line, and then passed back to the right side of the penalty spot to find De Bruyne who was clever and inserted.

The Belgian's shot on goal failed to hold the ball down and went just wide.

After stabilizing the position, although China City does not have an advantage in possession data, the midfield suppression of Barcelona is obvious, and even the key marking of Messi is very successful, which makes Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt basically disjointed, empty possession rate but difficult to form a threat, and the three players in the front field are also a little scattered, fighting separately.

Barcelona have possession but struggle to create an attacking threat, while China City have created a crisis in attack.

Especially in the 21st minute, Chinatown played the most dangerous attack of the game.

Alex Sandro stepped forward and, after receiving a pass from Paul Pogba, played a straight ball to Eden Hazard on the left side of the box.

The Belgian faced Alves and shook off his opponent's cross with a series of feints.

In the box, Roberto Firmino got ahead of Otamendi and headed in with his back to goal.

The ball fell towards the goal at a very fast speed, and the goalkeeper Bravo was also shocked and flew to make a save, but the ball was urgent and tricky, and the goalkeeper could basically say that he could not do anything.

But at the crucial moment, the crossbar saved Barcelona.

All that was heard was a bang, the ball bounced back into the box, and Barcelona escaped.

But Barcelona didn't have time to rejoice, Griezmann quickly slanted into the penalty area, grabbed ahead of everyone, and without thinking, met the ball and shot directly.

There was another thud, and the ball hit the right post and bounced off the baseline.

Both Firmino and Griezmann covered their faces vigorously, visibly depressed.

Two such dangerous shots, one crossbar and one post, what else can they say?

And the cheers of the Barcelona fans were clearly felt at the scene.

Yes, they should rejoice.

Beams and columns saved Barcelona.

…………

…………

"Luck is a bit back!" Gao Han shook his head.

Luck is also a very important factor in football.

It's like just now, two consecutive shots on goal are threatening, and goalkeeper Bravo basically raised his hand in surrender, and as a result, a crossbar and a post, it really makes people cry and laugh, except crying that Lady Luck is not favored, what else can you say?

In fact, the Chinese city team Barcelona defended very successfully, Messi and Suarez in the front court basically had a hard time getting the ball, and Rakitic and Iniesta could only pass the ball to two wings.

Alves is indeed old and not as brave as he used to be, and Iniesta's running is noticeably less aggressive.

Barcelona in the heyday of Pep Guardiola's coaching, that kind of smooth passing and receiving coordination, running at any cost, is basically impossible to reproduce, so Rakitic's position in Barcelona will become more and more important, and the momentum to replace Xavi is already obvious.

On the other hand, in Chinatown, youth is the biggest asset, and Pogba and De Bruyne are very active.

According to the real-time statistics of the game, the running statistics of Pogba and De Bruyne are close to the combined running statistics of Rakitic, Iniesta and Busquets, and Kante can devote more energy to taking care of Messi, who is actively retreating.

Positive movement is important for Barcelona, and there is nothing easier than the point of contact for the ball.

In the past, Iniesta took the ball and there were teammates around him to pick it up, but now with the ball, it is easy to fall into the opponent's bag, which is of course limited by the opponent's defensive position, but it is mainly due to the decline of Barcelona's own running ability.

This situation will become more and more evident as the structure of Barcelona's players ages.

Chinatown, on the other hand, will continue to mature and usher in its peak.

"Take your time, don't worry, there's going to be a chance. Gao Han muttered to himself.

…………

…………

The game basically continued the situation after the opening, the only difference was the score.

With Messi's goal, Barcelona took the lead.

However, Barcelona, who had the advantage of possession, was never able to turn the advantage into an attacking threat, and even in the first half hour of the first half, Barcelona did not have many decent offensive opportunities except for that shot.

Several times the goal that threatened Chinatown was saved by De Gea.

On the contrary, it was Chinatown that continued to threaten and frequently created a crisis in front of Barcelona's goal.

In the 34th minute of the game, De Bruyne received a pass from Kante on the right rib, quickly dribbled forward along the right side, and after entering the 30-meter area of Barcelona, he directly moved to the left side with a big foot and a long pass.

Alex Sandro chested the ball in front of him and stabbed it to Hazard before a defender could get close, and he sprinted from behind him towards the line.

The Belgian understood the ball and passed it to the bottom line, Alex Sandro chased the ball and went directly to the low flat cross, looking for Pogba in front, but at the critical moment, Otamendi took the lead and destroyed the ball off the bottom line, almost causing an own goal.

The entire Camp Nou stadium resounded with an exclamation.

Chinatown's offensive is getting more and more urgent.

Everyone began to have a hunch that if this continued, Barcelona would be equalised sooner or later.

Antoine Griezmann stood in the corner kick area, and the high point of Chinatown rushed into the Barcelona penalty area.

When a corner was taken, chaos erupted in the box, and De Vrij squeezed a way through the middle of the crowd to head in from near the penalty spot, but the ball bounced off Pique.

Barcelona wanted to clear the ball as soon as possible, but on the edge of the box, De Bruyne caught up with the ball and suddenly distributed it to the right, and Montoya cut in another cross.

At this time, De Vrij and Varane, who were still in the Barcelona penalty area, turned into center forwards and quickly hit the goal.

The two high defenders were still quite intimidating in the box, and Montoya's cross was found by them.

Only to see the front point of the central defender Varane with his body to suppress Otamendi, in the face of Montoya's cross, flicked his head at close range, the ball fell to the ground, rebounded, and crashed into the Barcelona goal.

Faced with a sudden shot, goalkeeper Bravo couldn't react and could only watch the ball go into the net.

One-to-one!

Raphael Varane leaps high in the box, his hands clenched into fists.

All the Chinatown players rushed up frantically and surrounded him.

Half an hour later, they were half an hour behind and now they were finally equalised.

The entire Camp Nou stadium resounded with cheers from Chinatown fans, all of whom were crazy about the outstanding performance of the players.

Although the team was in a backward situation in the first half hour, no matter what aspect, they did not feel weak and panicked, but gave people a very stable confidence.

……

"1-1, Chinatown managed to equalize. ”

"If Barcelona's goal just now did not bring panic to Chinatown, then this conceding goal will definitely seriously affect Barcelona, because although they have the advantage of possession in the entire first half, they have never been able to threaten Chinatown's goal. ”

"There was a one-goal lead before, but now, with China City equalising, the situation will start to turn even more unfavourable for Barcelona, and Luis Enrique should take effective measures as soon as possible to stop Barcelona's decline. ”

Zinedine Zidane was so excited that he had said that Raphael Varane would be the best centre-back in the world, and the Frenchman repaid Zidane's trust and support with a header in this crucial final. ”

"One to one, the two sides are back on the same starting line. ”

……

But Gao Han, who was sitting in the stands, had an extremely strong feeling.

In this game, Chinatown is stable!
