Chapter 1314: Fire Extinguisher
"If I can create better scoring opportunities for my team-mates, I'll be more than happy to pass the ball out."
This is what Messi said in an interview, he said so, but in fact, in the game, everyone can still see Messi's trust in himself and his urgent pursuit of victory.
Not long after the game started, he had two shots on goal and was not going to pass the football to his teammates with better chances, as he said.
Of course, it can also be said that his teammates were in the position at that time, and he didn't think it was better than himself, so he chose to come by himself.
However, on both occasions, Messi was unable to score, and once was easily held by Joe Hart - because he shot too wide. The second time Messi stressed the angle of the shot, only to have the ball deflected wide of the goal.
Messi's two shots were just the beginning of Barcelona's campaign in the game.
In addition to him, the other Barcelona players also launched a frantic attack on Manchester City's goal as if they were chickens, hoping to recover the aggregate score as much as possible.
From this point of view, Guardiola is right that the Barcelona players have no intention of giving up.
In the league, Barcelona just lost to Real Madrid, the difference between the two sides has been widened to seven points, with three rounds of the league remaining, it is almost impossible for Barcelona to reverse Real Madrid to win.
So the league champions said goodbye to them in advance.
Barcelona are now only in contention for the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. But the Copa del Rey title is not enough for Barcelona to get them too much interest. With Barcelona's previous table, if at the end of a season, they only won the Copa del Rey championship, it would be a failure.
Only the Champions League winners can liberate them from the sense of loss of snatching the league trophy from Real Madrid.
Only the Champions League winners can continue to maintain their superiority in front of the league champion Real Madrid.
Despite losing by three goals in the first leg, after a week of adjustment, with the encouragement of Pep Guardiola, fans and the media, they rekindled their fighting spirit and planned to knock Manchester City to the ground and end their losing streak against Manchester City.
In the face of Barcelona's fierce attack, Manchester City continued their defensive counter-attack, looking for opportunities to counter-attack in the gap between Barcelona's attacks.
In the 35th minute, Barcelona's series of attacks finally showed a flaw in Manchester City's defense.
Messi's forced break from the edge of the box allowed Joe Hart to save the ball, Kompany's clearance was not played well, and his clearance was mistaken in a hurry, and the ball fell to the feet of Butzkes by mistake.
Butzques in the big penalty area was unceremonious, shot with his feet, and the football flew into the Manchester City goal!
The cheers at the Camp Nou made it seem like the game was over......
Barcelona pulled a goal back, which made the fighting spirit of the Barcelona fans and players burn even more.
"Butzks! Now the aggregate score is 1:3, and Barcelona are still two goals behind! With 55 minutes left, there could be an hour if you count the stoppage time! Scoring two goals in 60 minutes is not an incredibly impossible task for the average Barcelona...... But it's hard to say right now. But no matter what, Butzkes's goal did give many Barcelona fans hope! ”
※※※
The Barcelona players who are full of fighting spirit are also rapidly booming, and their luck seems to be on their side, as if they have how to play.
As a result, in the 43rd minute, Iniesta scored another goal for Barcelona!
“2:3!! 2:3!! The Catalan narrator screamed at the top of his lungs. We're just one ball away! Barcelona is creating a zào miracle! The first half is not over yet, we have time! Two more goals in the second half and we can send Manchester City home! ”
Iniesta celebrated wildly after scoring a goal, and he almost undressed, and if it weren't for his teammates rushing up and crushing him to the ground, he would have really stripped successfully...... Of course, in that case, a yellow card will not be able to escape......
The Camp Nou is like a pot of boiling water, boiling, boiling hot, boiling and boiling.
Barcelona fans really see hope of a home comeback.
Who says you can't come back from three goals down in the first leg?
How did A Coruña do it back then?
We are stronger in Barcelona than Deportivo La Coruna, and since they can all do it, we can do it even more!
When the game resumes and all Barcelona fans are looking forward to the moment when the second half will be overturned, how should they cheer and celebrate?
※※※
The referee blew the whistle, Manchester City kicked off, and the game continued.
Andres Iniesta scored 43 minutes, just two minutes before the end of the first half, and even if there was stoppage time, it wouldn't be too long, two minutes at most.
Four minutes could basically mean that Barcelona would go into the break with a 2-0 lead.
And John Mortensen also began to say some words of comfort to Manchester City fans, after all, this first half was too exciting for the hearts of Manchester City fans.
“…… In fact, Barcelona's goal at this time is not necessarily a good thing. Their form has clearly improved, and if the game continues like this, City will concede a goal. But now it's almost halftime. A fifteen-minute break would interrupt Barcelona's performance, and a fifteen-minute half-time break would also give City's players a break to breathe and give Benitez a chance to adjust......"
As John Mortensen gushed, there was a loud boo at the Camp Nou.
I saw Glory shake off Harvey with a bulltail!
Manchester City just kicked off, and when Ibrahimovic knocked the football to Glory, Glory did not choose to pass the ball back, but unexpectedly broke through with the ball directly!
In the face of his breakthrough, Xavi came up to defend him, but he was left behind by him with such a beautiful oxtail.
Could it be that Glory wants to kick off and go straight to the Yellow Dragon?!
No way?
But looking at the posture of Glory throwing off Xavi and rushing directly to Barcelona with the ball, the Barcelona fans in the stands had to be scared again.
No, he must not be allowed to do that!
"Stop him!!"
The Barcelona fans in the stands collectively shouted, somewhat terrified.
In the midst of their shouting, Rongguang and Butzkes met, and in the face of Butzkes, Rongguang didn't even make a feint, and directly accelerated the ball, passing the football away from Butzkes's side, and then he accelerated to chase the football to Barcelona's back line!
"Rong! Glory! Has he ever practiced scoring goals? ”
Butzquez turned around and chased, intending to have a front and back attack with Pique and Puyol.
At the top of the penalty arc in the big penalty area, Glory was encircled. Butzques stretched out his leg from the left rear of Glory to stab the ball away from Glory's feet.
But Glory seemed to have an eye in the back of his head, and with a pull of the ball to the right with the sole of his left foot, he dodged Butzkes' leg from behind. However, he also took the ball to Pique on the right.
Seeing this, Pique also stretched out his feet, intending to take advantage of the opportunity when Rongguang had just pulled the football over and was still unstable, and cut off the football.
As a result, Glory's right foot pulled the football back to the left without pause.
This pull dodged Pique's steal again!
"Oh!" Alan Hansen exclaimed.
But what can scare him out of his seat is still to come.
Glory's right foot pulled the ball away from Pique's feet, but he also crashed headlong into Puyol.
It was not easy to pull the ball away twice in a row, and then he would have to run headlong into Puyol, and if he could get Puyol to foul him, it would have been a good result.
Just as Glory was about to crash into Puyol, he jumped to the soccer ball and slammed it from the back of his body to the right with his left heel!
At the same time, he made an emergency stop after landing, and his left and right feet took turns exerting force, and he kicked his body to the right!
Just like that, he rushed past Puyol, who was stiff, with the ball!
"Rong! He burst into the penalty area!! ”
"Ahhh Alan Hansen exclaimed, he had left his whole body and stood on the commentary table.
When Rongguang was surrounded by a lot of thoughts, if Rongguang fell in this place, it must be a well-placed direct free kick, and with his free kick ability, he might be able to kick the football into the goal.
But Rongguang told everyone that there was actually another way to go than to compromise early.
It's a tough road, but the scenery is unique.
Because after crossing the most arduous and difficult road, surviving the cold wind that is cold to the bone marrow, and waiting for the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you will see the radiant sunrise!
Glory did not continue to dribble the ball in the penalty area, and after finding the space to shoot, he decisively got up and shot!
The ball arced out of the outside of his right foot, and despite Valdés' struggle to soar in the air and stretch his arms, he couldn't touch the ball.
The only thing he could do now was to pray to God that Glory's shot would go wide of the goal.
However, God may not have heard his prayers, and the ball shot out by the glory made an arc and crashed directly into the net in the goal!
The ball is in!
Glory pulled a goal back for Manchester City after conceding just a goal!
1:2!
The overall score is 4:2!
Manchester City regained a two-goal lead and ...... With a golden away goal!
The fighting spirit that was still burning in Barcelona was suppressed by the Glory brand fire extinguisher!
