Once the game began, Barcelona played their own possession-based tactics.

Although it was an away game, Barcelona were in no hurry to attack, using the kick-off opportunity to keep the football firmly at their feet and then play with Manchester City.

When they don't find a great opportunity, they don't take a shot lightly to complete an attack.

In the face of such Barcelona, Manchester City is not in a hurry, and they play their best defensive counterattack.

Manchester City like to play Barcelona the most, and they don't like Real Madrid because Real Madrid is on the counter-attacking side like them, but Barcelona is playing attacking football. Counter-attacking teams like to play against teams that play big attacking football, so that their counter-attacking counter-attacks can come in handy.

Barcelona are not in a hurry to attack, Manchester City is not in a hurry to attack, they hold their defensive positions, and then let Barcelona go around outside, and they can't threaten Manchester City's goal anyway.

In order to deal with Barcelona, Manchester City has specially practiced how to defend this kind of inverted foot tactic.

That is to keep the defence steady, and don't let Barcelona's back-and-forth kicks stun Manchester City's defence. Many teams concede goals against Barcelona, often because Barcelona tear up the defense line by this back and forth pass, so that Barcelona finds a loophole.

Barcelona have been passing back and forth for five minutes, and if they can find a hole in City's defence and score a goal, it will definitely be the most inverted team goal. It's not necessarily exciting......

However, Barcelona have yet to find a hole in City's defence.

City's defence was poise.

Barcelona have been prepared for such a situation for a long time, and they don't just rely on passing the ball to attack.

That's why Messi is so important to Barcelona.

When the pass can't tear through the opponent's defense, the individual breakthrough will be like a sharp knife, directly stabbing the opponent's defense!

Messi's personal skill is the ultimate solution to the problem.

So when Barcelona didn't have a good chance for five minutes, Messi started to come alive.

Previously, he was more of a part of the team.

Now, this part of him is going to stand out and become a lone hero.

Xavi passes the football to Messi.

Messi did not pass the ball again after receiving the ball, but made a fake action of passing, and then accelerated violently to break through!

He shook off Gareth Barry, who had come up to defend him, and rushed to the penalty area.

"Messi!" The Catalan commentator cheered.

At the same time, John Mortensen exclaimed.

Messi's breakthrough is what everyone fears the most. It's like an atomic bomb, and it has a strong deterrent effect.

Seeing Messi break through, many teams' defenses were in chaos.

Even Manchester City, which has played against Barcelona many times in the past two seasons, is a little wolf when facing Messi's breakthrough.

In the end, Godin, with the help of Alba, interfered with Messi, so that Messi was slightly off the line when shooting, and the football flew directly out of the bottom line.

There was a loud gasp in the stands at Manchester City Stadium – and the City fans were taken aback.

"It's dangerous! Manchester City almost conceded a goal! John Mortenson also had some trepidation as he spoke.

"Messi has been in really good form this season, losing to Glory in the final and the scorer list last season, which may have deeply stimulated ......him," Alan Hansen analyzed.

"Messi is a very good player, and of course it's a great honor!" He Ping said. "Whenever this happens, I have a feeling of 'both Yu and Liang'...... But at the same time, we, the fans, are lucky to be able to talk to each other directly. At that time, the debate about who was more powerful was Pele or Maradona continued in every corner of the world, but neither could convince the other to accept their views. Because Pele and Maradona are not players in the same time and space, who is more powerful between the two of them is a bit similar to Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong. However, such an argument is difficult to happen to Rongguang and Messi, because the collisions between them again and again are enough to tell us who is stronger! ”

He Ping's words will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some Messi fans, but who cares what they think? He is a commentator on Chinese national television, and those who can watch him explain are Chinese, and as a Chinese, he naturally wants to support his compatriots, so he thinks that Glory is better than Messi as a matter of course. If someone thinks that what he said is wrong, it should be that Messi is stronger than Rongguang, then there is something wrong with the brain......

Barcelona's attack was finally over, and it was City's turn to keep possession.

Joe Hart doesn't have a big foot to kick the ball forward, so there's no guarantee that he will be able to keep the ball at his feet.

And it doesn't make much sense for a big foot to attack, Barcelona's players have already returned to the defense, and a big foot is not a fast attack.

He passed the football to Godin.

But that's exactly what Barcelona want to see.

Barcelona's tactics have several characteristics, in addition to passing back and forth to the feet, when defending, Barcelona often adopts high-pressure defensive tactics, they are crazy in the front court, forcing the opponent to make mistakes in their own backcourt possession, giving Barcelona a chance to attack directly with the ball.

So in fact, Barcelona's tactics are not fast, but they are very physically demanding, because Barcelona's players have been running almost the whole game and have never stopped.

Of course, the Barcelona players are in good shape and can support them to run like this.

Seeing Joe Hart pass the ball to Godin, Sanchez rushed forward to cut Godin's ball.

Manchester City and Barcelona have played each other twice in the last two seasons, three games, so how could they not understand these characteristics of Barcelona?

So Godin didn't wait for Sanchez to rush up, he received the ball and passed it straight to the feet of full-back Zabaleta.

Zabaleta faced a Cesc Fabregas defence for this side.

However, Zabaleta did not stop the ball, he directly passed the ball from Godin to the front again, to the feet of glory on the wing.

Glory stepped back from the front to meet Zabaleta, who received the ball.

Seeing him catch the ball, the City fans in the stands let out a burst of cheers.

Barcelona has Messi, and our Manchester City has glory!

After receiving the ball, Glory just turned to face the Barcelona player Butzques who came up to defend him.

Rongguang took advantage of the situation and pulled the football to the left with the sole of his right foot.

Butzkes followed and turned to the middle, believing that Glory was going to take the middle lane.

But at this moment, Rongguang jumped up and knocked the football to the right side with the heel of his left foot!

After landing, the glory also quickly changed direction, and Butzkes, who turned to the middle, came to pass by!

He caught up with the football and shook off Butzkes.

"Oooo Pretty change of direction! With Rong's dexterity, Butzkes is as clumsy as a rusty machine! ”

The glory of dribbling the ball down the flank led to the 30-metre area of Barcelona.

One of the weaknesses of the high-pressure defensive tactic is that when their men are keen to press in the midfield, their backfield is relatively empty, with only one backline, four defenders and a goalkeeper......

For Rongguang, such a half can already be regarded as an empty horse.

After Glory completely shook off Butzkes, he adjusted his direction and dribbled diagonally to the middle.

He's about to meet Pique.

In the face of the glorious assault, Pique has already stood his ground.

Facing Pique, Glory's right shoulder sank a little, and at the same time, his right foot was kicked towards the football, apparently changing direction and breaking through Pique's outside.

So Pique's center of gravity shifted that way.

But Rongguang's right foot did not hit the football, but just dangled a shot in the back of the football and stepped on the ground.

But Pique didn't think it was a feint, as he saw Glory's left foot followed and kicked the ball again......

Pique thinks Glory must have been trying to trick himself into thinking he was breaking through with his right foot, so that he wouldn't have time to react when his left foot dunked the ball out.

Then Pique had already seen through it, and when he saw the movement of Rongguang's left foot, he firmly continued to deflect his center of gravity to the outside.

As a result, when his center of gravity and his body were deflected to the outside, he saw that Glory's left foot did not hit the football, but gently stopped behind the football.

Glory didn't touch the ball with either foot, and the ball just rolled forward in its original course, past Pique's side.

And what about glory?

He also ran past Pique after the football.

Because of inertia, Pique froze in place, looking like a scarecrow, and he couldn't do anything except make a show......

※※※

"Rong! He rushed over! Oooh! It's so easy! Pique: What's wrong with this? I didn't even make any defensive moves! ”

To the cheers of the Manchester City fans, Glory took the ball past Pique, and commentator John Mortensen was a little surprised because he didn't expect Pique to be so good......

But this time is not to investigate why Pique didn't make defensive moves at all, and let the glory go.

After Pique's glory, he will face Puyol next.

Barcelona's captain, a man like a mad dog, at his peak, he can freeze the fat "alien" Ronaldo one-on-one.

Running that never gives up, and a tenacious defense as kraft candy is his signature.

In the face of such a difficult central defender, Rong Guang did not make any feints, he just slammed the football with the instep of his right foot when he caught up with the football!

The ball raced past Puyol.

Glory followed!

Puyol reflexively reached for Glory's jersey.

But Glory's sprint was too fast, and his hand stretched out, but only grabbed the gust of wind brought by Glory's running......

He turned around and saw the back of Glory having slipped the ball into the box......

Speed, too fast!

"Glory Glory Glory!! That's fast! With his forced breakthrough, Puyol could not do anything either! Now he's in the box!! ”

In the stands at Manchester City Stadium, all the Manchester City fans have already stood up.

Their eyes were fixed on glory, expecting what would happen next.

The glory who rushed into the penalty area did not continue to dribble the ball to the goalkeeper, but shot directly with his feet!

The ball arced out of his way, bypassing the onrushing Valdés and flying into the back of the net next to the far post......

The ball is in!

There is no suspense, this is the standard ending!
