In the days of losing Messi, Zhuo Yang made Barcelona have no fear. When the two stood on the sidelines together in the 60th minute to come on as a substitute, the red and blue fans who came from afar erupted in heartfelt cheers. Although the number of people is small, but the momentum is huge, and the home fans of Kazan Ruby feel a little fear.

On the second match day of the Champions Cup group stage, Barcelona visited the Kazan Centre Stadium with an instant score of 1:1.

Half a month ago, a big home win over Panathinaikos of Greece opened Barcelona's Champions League campaign to the new season, and the momentum was followed by Barcelona's 3-1 victory over La Liga third-round rivals Atletico Madrid at the Calderón Stadium ten days ago.

But in that game, Messi, who scored a goal, was kicked in the last minute by Ouj Farousi and injured his left ankle. Ujfarusi was sent off and Messi was diagnosed with a contusion of his ankle ligaments after the game and needed to rest for 10-15 days.

Zhuo Yang also scored a goal, and it was a key goal in the comeback, and the icing on the cake came from Pique, who played in the 100th anniversary of La Liga. Xiaojie's action of stopping and volleying in the corner kick tactic is not at all like a central defender, a complete center forward.

As for Reyes was also stretchered early by Zhuo Yang in the game, it was very unnoticeable, and no one linked Reyes' shovel injury to Zhuo Yang in the Spanish Super Cup with this scene.

Messi was injured, but Barcelona did not slack at all in the next two La Liga games, eliminating Sporting Gijón and Bilbao 4:1 in a row. In both games, Zhuo Yang scored three goals, and both opened the scoring for Barcelona at the most anxious time. Huluwa broke a goal against his old club Sporting Gijon, Pedro had one, and Xavi, Keita and Xiaobu scored their first goals of the season against Biba.

Played three La Liga games in six days, almost all of Barcelona's main squad were rotated, and only Zhuo Yang and Valdés were fully attended. Valdés is a goalkeeper, and he will not be tired of working hard all his life, but Guashuai will never dare to use Zhuo Yang like this. So, in this game of expedition to Kazan, Zhuo Yang and Messi, who had returned from injury, sat on the bench to watch the enemy's lineup.

Messi is much more obedient than Zhuo Yang, so that he really can't even get out of bed if he is honest and resting at home. Of course, this is what he said himself, Zhuo Yang didn't believe that Messi would and pee on the bed, just one foot and neck, and it wasn't that he couldn't take care of himself after being paralyzed.

Pep Guardiola took the opportunity to summon up the courage to persuade Zhuo Yang: "Zhuo Yang, it would be great if you could take football as seriously as Leo. ”

"What, Pep, do you think I don't take football seriously?"

"No, don't be careful. I mean, you can be more serious and then you will undoubtedly be the best player in world football. ”

"Why, Pep, don't you think I'm already the best player?"

"No, no, no, Zhuo Yang, don't worry too much, you are indeed the number one today."

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

“…… Without. Zhuo Yang, don't be too careful......"

.

The Russians are notoriously difficult to play at home, and everyone from Napoleon to Hiteller to Pep Guardiola knows this. Last year, Barcelona met Kazan unexpectedly in the group stage, and one draw and one loss were disgraced by others.

Having lost on this pitch last year, Pep Guardiola didn't think he had to win today, with both sides scoring a point each in the first half thanks to penalties from Noboa and Huluwa. Originally, Lao Gua planned to do this, and go home after holding on to a point, but after the start of the second half, Kazan's offensive gradually became ferocious, and the Russians' counterattacks were like bayonets, frequently threatening Barcelona's goal.

Within fifteen minutes, Kazan Ruby had hit the post three times, and the pressure on the Barcelona backline was unbearable, and the midfield gradually got out of control. Seeing this crisis, Gua Shuai did not treat his feet with pain, but decisively sent Messi and Zhuo Yang to suppress the arrogance of the Kazan people with an attack.

Messi replaces Mascherano, Zoyang replaces Pedro, and Andres Iniesta returns to midfield. Barcelona's forward line is back to serious Zhuomehu, and the midfielder is standard Habaib.

In fact, in the second half, the Barcelona midfield appeared passive, and Mascherano had to pay a certain responsibility, although he was not ambiguous in ability, but he did not match the original rhythm of Barcelona in the midfield. This mismatch is a feeling, a small technique and a subtle reaction on the ball. When the football passes by him, there is always a little bit of rhythmic stagnation, which makes Xavi and Xiaobu very uncomfortable.

BARCELONA'S MIDFIELD TIKA-TAKA IS TOO PARTICULAR TO BE FAMILIAR WITH AND ADAPT TO THIS UNIQUE RHYTHM OF THE TEAM, AND VICE VERSA, IT WILL SERIOUSLY DRAG DOWN THE TEAM'S FRONTCOURT.

The second round of the league lost to promoted Mahergus, ostensibly due to the opponent's unreasonable side ball, the phenomenon seems to be due to Maxwell's loss on the wing, but the root cause is the inefficiency of Mascherano, who replaced Xiaobu as a central midfielder that day.

Now it seems that Mascherano is not very suitable to play in central midfield for Barca, and perhaps he could be considered at the back. And from this point of analysis, it may be possible to get a glimpse of the reason why Messi has never been able to thrive in the Argentine national team.

The strongman appeared on the stage, and the effect was immediate. In the 70th minute, Xavi's pass allowed Messi to form a one-on-one knife, but Messi's push kicked the chest of Kazan goalkeeper Ryzhkov, and the ball bounced back and touched his own leg to the side.

Zhuo Yang appeared ghostly at the landing point, and after Italian central defender Salvatore Bochetti was left by his side, Zhuo Yang fell to the ground and took the score to 2:1 with a tackle.

The 24-year-old Bochetti was sold half of his ownership to Kazan by Madiburg for 9.5 million this summer, and Dortmund wanted to buy 100% for this price, but Hasler did not agree, even if he had the face of the scumbag. Business is business, and favors are favors, especially within the Bundesliga, and this will offend many other people.

The fears of Kazan Ruby fans have become a reality, and the most feared person in Barcelona on this field is not Messi, but Zhuo Yang. In the 89th minute, former Inter Milan striker and Nigerian Obafemi Martins pressed Puyol in a corner kick so that Puyol couldn't even lift his head, but was stabbed obliquely by Zhuo Yang, who participated in the defense, and pressed him to go first with a header on the football to clear the siege.

Barcelona's counter-attack was similarly mercury-dropping, and after a series of quick passes, when Messi stuffed the final through pass, Zhuo Yang magically appeared at the forefront again. The volley from the waistline of the penalty area 12 meters away from the goal went straight to the near corner, and Zhuo Yang locked the score at 3:1.

Barcelona has won two consecutive victories in the group stage of the Champions Cup, which is a very correct attitude; Zhuo Yang scored 5 goals in two Champions League games, which is the most correct performance.

Even Guardiola was comforting himself in his heart at this time: Maybe it's good to let Zhuo Yang look like this.
