Chapter 229: The Duel of Fate (Part II)

The fifteen-minute halftime passed quickly and the two teams were back on the field.

'The players from both teams are back on the pitch and the second half is fast coming. The score was 2-1 in the first half, with Manchester United taking the lead for the time being. Neither manager made any changes to the starting line-up, in fact, this is the best player that either side can field! ”

"The first 45 minutes of the game was very fast-paced, it was an offensive and defensive drill. Surprisingly, it was not Barcelona who led the attack, but Manchester United! …… In general, Manchester United not only lead the score, but also have a huge advantage in the situation, if this intensity of attack is maintained, and Guardiola has no way to deal with it, then it is likely that Barcelona will concede goals in the second half! ”

"Of course, both teams are the best teams in football today and everyone can score! It must be admitted that this is a decisive battle at the highest level, and the winner will truly reign in Europe! ”

"The next game is bound to be more exciting, please wait and see!"

Amid the drumming of the commentators, the whistle blew at the beginning of the second half.

In the first few minutes, the scene was calm, and both teams tried to get back into the rhythm.

Manchester United's tactical strategy remains the same, still pressing high, pressing all over the field, and after winning the ball, it is a quick attack.

Barcelona has changed significantly, the combination of passing and cutting is still their theme, but it is to speed up the passing rhythm and running range, in the past 45 minutes, Manchester United's crazy pressing has indeed caused them great trouble, and speeding up the passing speed is aimed at this, not allowing Manchester United to have an easy chance to intercept.

In terms of offense, Barcelona also played more simply and directly, eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth feet, and once available, they directly kicked forward and let the attacking group led by Messi attack.

Obviously, the first half was all down, so that Guardiola made a lot of changes to the team's tactical strategy, and wanted to rely entirely on passing backwards to slow down the pace of the game, which was obviously unrealistic, Ferguson's team made a very targeted arrangement, Barcelona's transmission level could not be fully played, and at the same time, in the case of falling behind the score, I am afraid that the situation will continue to deteriorate.

Guardiola can also see that today's Manchester United is to make a fuss about the offense and suppress Barcelona, who is also good at attacking, with strong offensive ability. Judging from the score and result of the first half, Manchester United is undoubtedly successful, and Guardiola wants to change the situation, so he can only passively follow the attack - Guardiola is very decisive and decisively made the decision to attack, Ferguson wants to break down himself with an attack, but his own side, is he afraid of Manchester United's attack? Maybe the Red Devils' attack axis led by Fan Bizhuang is indeed very strong, but Barcelona is not bad! Xavi, Iniesta, Messi...... The attacking line formed by these super capable stars is no worse than anyone else!

Ferguson bet on Van Bizhuang, and Guardiola also has a candidate for betting, that is, Messi - he never thinks that Messi is worse than Van Bizhuang, in his heart, Messi is the best in the world!

"Then bow to bow, spear to spear! You have Fan, I have Leo, then, let's take a look, who is the real trump card, the real world first! ”

Barcelona's all-out attack is undoubtedly extremely terrifying, after simplifying the tactical strategy, Barcelona's offensive is gradually rising, with Xavi, Iniesta, the two midfield masters of the pass and control dominance, football is always quickly played to the front, and Messi, who gets more balls, is obviously more active than in the first half.

In the 51st minute, Xavi played a long ball to the right side, Messi unloaded the ball, pushed it out with his left foot, and ran forward around Evra. After shaking Patrice Evra away, the ball was sent back by Villa in the middle of the pitch in the next moment.

A simple two-on-one combination, so that Messi pulled out of the sprint space, a few steps forward at a very fast speed, Messi smashed the ball and rushed to the middle, Villa took away a defender for him, Messi did not hesitate to shoot directly with his left foot, Van der Sar reacted very quickly to get up and fly, and hit the football with his left hand to the bottom line.

Three minutes later, Messi had another good chance on goal, this time, almost entirely as a reflection of his individual ability. Starting from receiving the ball from the middle, the Argentine little flea was like entering a no-man's land, and the quick dribble assault was all the way through, shaking three defenders in a row to chase and intercept, and finally when Vidic rushed out of the penalty area and was close to him, Messi still completed the shot, and the quality was extremely high - his rubbing shot bypassed all the defenders, and also bypassed Van der Sar, but unfortunately, the football flew out of the bottom line at the junction of the post and the crossbar.

With the support of many teammates behind him, Messi is completely let go, only focusing on attack, and every time he holds the ball and every breakthrough, he can create a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense.

"Messi Messi Messi ...... Leo...... Messi! Once again, he had a shot...... Oh, what a shame, to miss the goal! ”

"Messi was clearly more active in the second half! It is clear that Pep Guardiola has given Messi more responsibilities, and Messi has not disappointed his coach and team-mates, he is constantly causing problems for Manchester United's defence! ”

"A direct conversation between two top celestials! In the case that Fan has scored twice, Messi must not be willing to admit defeat, and now, he is starting to really go all out! ”

The pressure on the team's defence was mounting and Ferguson could no longer sit comfortably in the dugout, but he didn't say much, just frowned and watched the situation on the pitch closely.

Obviously, Guardiola is aware of his tactical intentions, which is to make a fuss about the attack, and at this stage, Barcelona's offensive has gradually become more frequent and stronger, and it seems that Guardiola has also made a change and intends to stop the attack with attack.

I have to say that Barcelona who speed up the pace and attack with all their strength is indeed not to be underestimated, but Ferguson still retains strong confidence in the game, Messi has completely opened, and as the trump card in his hand, Fan Bizhuang will obviously not be left behind.

He knows what Fan Bizhuang thinks, he wants to have the most direct conversation with Messi, and as a striker, there is nothing more convincing than the opponent scoring more goals!

Sure enough, Fan Bizhuang, who has scored twice, is even more excited as Messi's performance gets better and better.

In the 63rd minute, Messi and his teammates once again made a quick pass in front of the court, and hit the penalty line, and without hesitation, he shot a burst shot, forcing Van der Sar to make a thrilling fish leap and flying pounce.

While the Barcelona fans were still screaming at the shot, Van Bizhuang's response was not long in coming.

A minute after Messi completed the shot, Manchester United's quick attack hit the front, Van Bizhuang received a pass from Nani, in the narrow space in the middle, first stopped the ball and turned to dodge Mascherano's close pressing, and then continued to smash the ball to change direction, leaving Busquets and Abidal behind, advancing to the top of the penalty area with an unstoppable momentum, and a powerful shot with his left foot.

The shot was powerful and raced towards the bottom left corner of the goal at breakneck speed.

In the midst of a scream, Valdés made an incredible save, he threw his body out, his arm stretched out as long as he could, and it was worthy of touching the football with his fingers, and the ball finally hit the post and bounced back, Valdés held the ball in his arms with palpitations.

Fan Bizhuang stomped his feet with some regret, without words, and continued to devote himself to the game.

Two minutes later, Carrick swam down the flank and crossed from the side, and it was Van Bizhuang who struck at the front post and shook his head at the goal, Valdés couldn't save, but the ball was just as close as the goal.

"Fan! Fan!! Fan!!! Consecutive shots, continuous threat to the Barcelona goal! ”

"Van still has a strong desire to score goals and seems to be looking for a hat-trick!"

"Fan told Messi with practical actions that this stadium is not just a stage for your performance! I'm the main character! ”

"The two Tianjiao each used their outstanding performance to have the most fierce competition!"

The game seems to have completely become a stage for the performance of the two superstars, you hit the door once, I immediately sent a threatening straight stopper, you successfully broke through, I immediately came to a three!

The performance of the two top Tianjiao drove their respective teams to carry out the most direct and fierce confrontation.

Whether it is Manchester United or Barcelona, they have created a lot of threatening opportunities, the game has become more tense and exciting, fans do not know, like this, what direction the game will develop, and which team will score first!

Of course, in terms of the situation, at this time, both sides are half-hearted, and everyone can threaten the opponent's goal, but neither can score for the time being.

But in terms of score, there is no doubt that Manchester United has a better chance of winning, after all, the score is temporarily 2:1 ahead, if Barcelona can't score for a long time, only blossom and do not bear fruit, then keep this score, the final victory will undoubtedly belong to Manchester United.

As the game progressed, the two teams with a very fast pace of attack were a little red-eyed. Continuous high-intensity attack, fast-paced running and sprinting, the physical fitness of the players of both teams inevitably began to have some problems, but the offensive situation did not change, Guardiola waved his hand and took the lead in making substitution adjustments, Bojan replaced Pedro, and was taken by Van Bizhuang to run around, it was obvious that there was some can't run Mascherano was also replaced by Mali midfielder Keita.

Replace it with a new force, and the goal is to continue to maintain the intensity of the attack!

And Ferguson did not admit it, although the time has passed seventy minutes at this time, with the advantage of holding a goal, Manchester United can actually choose to retreat to the defensive line and maintain the lead, but Ferguson did not dare to do so, the football game is not only a confrontation of tactics and strategies, but also a confrontation of mental will, Barcelona has killed the red eye, and if Manchester United retreats, in terms of momentum, it is "admitting defeat", with Barcelona's continuous crazy offensive, even if Manchester United retreats, it may not be able to stop.

So, let's fight to the end, whoever can hold out in the confrontation to the end will be the final winner!

Ferguson waved his hand, Owen and Park Ji-sung came out, and Rooney and Nani were replaced.

Manchester United has also injected fresh blood and continued to attack with Barcelona!
