Chapter 1221: Cruyff who left early
"Rong Guang is the first player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League final after the Champions League was restructured! He has his name forever written into the history of the Champions League! In fact, not only after the Champions League reform, but even before the reform, there are very few people who can do this, only three people. And the last time a player scored three goals in the Champions League final was forty-two years ago - in the 1969 Champions League final, AC Milan defeated Ajax 4:1, of which AC Milan's Prati scored a three-dollar score and completed a hat-trick...... "He Ping was also very excited, and he began to popularize the glory for everyone. "After that, there was no hat-trick in the Champions League final!"
Commentators from other countries have also given praise to Glory, and it is impossible to praise him too much at this time.
A player who can score a hat-trick in the Champions League final must be worthy of all kinds of praise.
"Rong's hat-trick made this game completely out of suspense!"
"Now it seems that Barcelona is in good form before the final, and the final victory depends on the performance in the final...... Messi's performance in the final is obviously not as honorable! ”
"It's happened, but I still find it a little unbelievable that Manchester City is going to win the Champions League in history! This kind of thing used to be unimaginative, and no matter how bold people were, they couldn't have imagined! ”
"Manchester City fans are the happiest people in the world right now! And they are also a group of people who are envied by everyone! Who says money can't win a championship? Manchester City is the most vivid example! ”
"Cruyff once said that if Manchester City won the title, it would be a step backwards for European football! So let's wait and see if European football will be reversed by Manchester City's title! ”
……
Cruyff was sitting in the box at this time, and the TV broadcast quickly cut to the VIP box, wanting to give Cruyff a close-up. because all of Europe ...... No, it's the whole world that knows about the pre-match war of words between Glory and Cruyff.
Now that Glory has completed his hat-trick and almost helped Manchester City seal the Champions League, the ill-intentioned media will want to see how Cruyff reacts.
But to everyone's great disappointment, when the camera cuts over, they don't find Cruyff in the box! Cruyff, who was supposed to be sitting there, is gone!
It was impossible to find the wrong box for the broadcast, because Cruyff had already been given a few close-ups beforehand, and Cruyff was sitting in his seat at that time.
Now, I can't find him!
John Mortenson laughed at this: "It looks like our 'godfather' has left early...... I think he finally made the right choice, because staying here will only make him the object of ridicule from everyone! ”
As an English commentator, whether you like Manchester City or not, in a duel like the Champions League final against Barcelona, John Mortensen will inevitably be on Manchester City's side.
Therefore, John Mortensen was also unhappy with Cruyff's pre-match criticism, hoping that Glory could hit back Cruyff fiercely.
What's the matter, if you Barcelona win the championship, that's the progress of football, and if Manchester City wins the championship, it's a regression? Who dictates that Barcelona's football represents the most advanced direction of development in the world? If the whole world plays football like Barcelona in the future...... John Mortensen shuddered just thinking about it, because that kind of football was a little too boring.
The reason why this world is interesting and vibrant is because there are so many different species, and life has different forms, because this world is diverse and colorful, so it is beautiful.
If there is only one color in the world, only one living thing, only one form of expression, only one rule...... What a tedious and maddening world it must be!
The same goes for football.
John Mortensen has always believed that diversity in football is the most important thing that keeps the sport alive, and nothing else.
So he was disgusted with Cruyff's sense of superiority that "the whole world is only our Barcelona football is king".
Now he's happy that City and Glory hit Cruyff in the face with a defensive counter-attack.
※※※
Cruyff did leave the pitch early, and after Glory scored the third goal, he got up and walked out of the box and never returned.
Despite the fact that there were ten minutes to go, he knew in his heart that Barcelona could not beat Manchester City and they were lost.
Now Cruyff has to think about what exactly he should write in tomorrow's column.
Is European football a step backwards?
※※※
When the game resumed, many of the Barcelona players were completely demoralized and they were not running. And you must know that running is the essence of Barcelona football, Barcelona football is played by non-stop running and passing, their football is football in sports, not standing football, which is one of the reasons why Cruyff thinks Barcelona football is advanced.
But in today's football, even defensive counterattacks have to be run and played......
This can be seen in the average distance a player travels in a game. It's no surprise that today's players run 10,000 metres in a race, but not all of them are Barcelona players.
After Messi scored the third goal in Glory, he was like a deflated football, and he suddenly lost his fighting spirit.
Because no matter how much he chases, he can't catch up with the glory.
It's so desperate to play a game like this.
The glory of this game is to complete the hat-trick, and it is as easy as going out to buy groceries.
The last two balls are easier than the other.
Especially the third ball, turn and sprint and shoot from outside the penalty area, and the football goes in.
It's not exciting at all compared to the first two goals, but it's that shows his ease.
Glory's expression made Messi very depressed.
He realized that it was only his own delusion that he was able to defeat Glory before, and that was because Glory hadn't really gone all out......
And when Rongguang boosts his output power, he has no chance.
In such a season in such good form, he lost so badly in the finals against glory...... He didn't even know what he had to do to win.
※※※
Messi is the most active player in Barcelona's game, and when he has completely lost his fighting spirit, this game is actually over for Barcelona.
When the game resumed, it was as if the Barcelona fans in the stands had disappeared.
No sound at all.
Manchester City fans sang and danced in the stands, very excited.
They had already started celebrating the victory in advance.
They have no belief that City can be overturned with a two-goal lead.
That confidence comes from Glory, who has proven time and time again that as long as City are two goals ahead, they can't lose this game.
After Manchester City took a 3-1 lead, they still counter-attacked defensively, giving possession to Barcelona and letting them attack, but Barcelona no longer knew how to attack. No matter how good they are at possession, it won't be useful at this time.
Pep Guardiola has returned to his seat in the dugout.
He almost gave up directing the game from the sidelines, because he also knew that there was no point in directing the game at this time......
Barcelona lost, whether he admits it or not, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
※※※
In the commentary box, John Mortensen was so excited that he stopped commentating on the game and began to talk to the TV audience about Manchester City's Champions League journey, because there was still a lot of time, so he didn't start with this season, he started with last season, Manchester City's return to the Champions League after 40 years.
“…… If City hadn't paid that much when they beat Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, maybe City would have won the title last season...... I think Manchester City actually have the quality to win the title, but last season was a little bit less lucky. But this season, when luck is on their side, there's no one to stop them! ”
Next to him, the Catalan commentator was silent, only occasionally saying a few words as he picked up the ball at Barcelona, but his tone was completely listless.
Messi's excitement after his goal is gone.
"I think the time has come for European football to belong to Manchester City!" Next to him, John Mortensen was still talking. "As long as Wing is still at Manchester City, as long as Manchester City continues to maintain this investment, they will definitely create an era in European football, and not only
