Chapter 1215: Chaotic War

After the resumption of the second half, neither side made any personnel changes.

In fact, the starting lineups of both teams are already a set of their own self-improvement lineups, and no matter how much they are adjusted, they cannot be better than the table of this lineup.

Both managers can now only choose to trust their players more.

Benitez naturally believes in glory, while Guardiola believes in Messi.

Both of these are people who can change the outcome of a match on their own.

At the start of the second half, Messi made a beautiful breakthrough in the middle, but in the end his shot was slightly wide under the defence of three Manchester City players.

But it was enough to make Manchester City fans break out in a cold sweat.

"Leo Messi!! Pretty!! It's a pity! Soccer ball slides out! The Catalan narrator said with his head in his hands, in a very regretful tone.

However, there is still some hope in his heart, because it can be seen from this ball that Messi is in very good shape and has a very strong fighting spirit. With these two conditions, such Messi is worth his expectations.

However, just after Messi threatened the Manchester City goal with a shot, the glory changed colors, and the referee awarded a free-kick to Manchester City 35 yards from goal.

Glory personally took the penalty, and he was the right foot elevator! Ball. Valdés didn't react at all to such a kick, but in the end, Glory's ball was slightly over the crossbar, and the elevator was on it, but it pressed the wrong floor and missed the target.

But despite this, it also scared the Barcelona fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

Because when they saw the ball plummet down and head straight for the goal, and Valdés was completely unresponsive, they really thought the ball would fly into the goal......

※※※

Next, Messi cut in from the wing, made a one-two collision with Gao Lin and Xavi in a row, and then shot at the top of the penalty arc, and the football drew an arc straight to the far corner of the goal.

Joe Hart rose to his feet and stretched out his arms to push the ball off the line.

Barcelona won a corner.

However, this corner is not as threatening to the Manchester City goal as Messi's previous kick.

In the race for the ball, Barcelona really don't have an advantage in front of Manchester City.

City's two centre-backs, Vincent Kompany and Lucio, are both extremely adept at headers, with Glory and Zlatan Ibrahimovic also returning to goal to get involved in defence.

However, this time the corner kick did not let anyone else shoot, Joe Hart jumped up directly, lightly stretched his ape arm, and took off the football in the air.

Pique pounced, and when he landed, he turned and ran back, not doing anything in front of the door with his head in his hands.

Because he knows very well what Manchester City will play next.

Sure enough, just as he turned to run outside, Joe Hart, who had the ball, also rushed to the edge of the box and threw the ball forward.

He didn't throw it to Glory or Ibrahimovic because both of them were back to defend corners.

He threw the football to Sneijder.

At this time, Glory had already rushed out of the forbidden area like an arrow from the string.

Sneijder received the ball with his back to the attack, and then passed the ball sideways to his side, and at this time, the glory inserted at high speed just happened to take the ball from Sneijder forward!

There was a huge cheer from the stands at Wembley Stadium.

These are all sent by Manchester City fans.

Glory ran wildly with the ball, crossed the halfway line and went straight to Barcelona's penalty area.

In front of him is Mascherano, the Argentine player was originally a midfielder in Liverpool and the Argentine national team, but in Barcelona, because there was no starting position for him in 433, he changed to a central defender, but he didn't expect that in Barcelona's tactical system, his table was not bad.

Now in the face of Glory's high-speed assault, Mascherano did not pounce, but fought and retreated, running back with Glory, he would rather let Glory rush into the penalty area and shoot under his own interference, and would never let Glory give himself up thirty meters from the goal, and then run all the way to face goalkeeper Valdés and shoot again.

As long as you are still by your side, you still have a chance to defend your glory.

Mascherano made the right choice, his retreat always put pressure on Glory, and when Glory got up to shoot, he stepped forward in time to block Glory's shot, successfully blocking Glory's shot, allowing Valdés to hold the ball firmly in his arms.

Although he didn't score, Glory's attack made Barcelona fans nervous throughout the whole process.

In this way, after Messi's performance is excellent, the glory will be returned to the color, and after the glory is returned to the color, Messi will be returned to the color.

In this cycle, the hearts of Manchester City and Barcelona fans also take turns to lift, fall, lift and fall again......

The first fifteen minutes of the second half passed quickly in the back and forth between the two sides. Neither of them scored, but everyone thought they would score the next time they attacked, and the fans on both sides were nervous, while the neutral fans in front of the TV cheered in wonder.

However, despite the excitement of the game, it was not a joy for the managers of both teams.

Although there are more chances to score, the chances of conceding goals are also greatly increased.

Moreover, this kind of attack and defense is completely disordered, and it is difficult to control it.

Managers always want to stay on top of the game.

So after these fifteen minutes of back and forth, the managers of both sides made adjustments.

Barcelona returned to possession while Manchester City continued to defend on the counter-attack.

The game didn't look good, but the hearts of the fans and managers on both sides fell back into their stomachs - it was a normal game......

※※※

Messi wiped the sweat from his forehead. The previous games were not normal, but they were what he liked because only then did he have a good chance to score.

As a result, he always missed the goal in these fifteen minutes. Of course, Glory didn't score either, but that's not something he comforts about.

Now that City have shrunk their defence and restarted their counter-attack, it will be harder than before to score goals......

He was a little anxious, but it was useless to be anxious now, he could only wait patiently for the opportunity.

In Pep Guardiola's plan, if the game really dragged to a penalty shootout, it would be a good result. Because then you can cancel out the advantage of glory.

This was a conclusion he had come to after carefully studying the glory.

Since you can't beat Rong Guang in 90 minutes, you can just drag the game to a penalty shootout.

But that's not how Messi wants to win.

If the game goes to this score until the penalty shootout, then even if Barcelona beat Manchester City in the end, Messi is embarrassed to say that he beat Glory, they are at most a draw, and they are still far from beating Glory.

The victory Messi wants is for him to beat Glory in the game, more than he scored. Barcelona, on the other hand, relied on their own goals to defeat Manchester City and eventually win the Champions League.

Such a victory is meaningful.

Messi didn't want the game to be dragged into a penalty shootout.

He turned his head to look at Glory.

Regarding the current situation of the game, Rongguang's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his opinion on this game at all.

He seemed calm.

This calm makes Messi a little worried, and the calmer the glory, the bigger the storm he is brewing.

In order not to let the storm brewing by glory really engulf Barcelona, Messi believes that he should strike first, score goals, take the lead again, and regain the initiative in his own hands.

※※※

In the game, the commentators found that Messi's activity in the attack has become higher, although Barcelona is now mainly in possession, but Messi is running tirelessly in the midfield, the commentators believe that Messi's running makes Barcelona maintain the possibility of acceleration, and greatly enhances Barcelona's threat in the frontcourt.

This is not good news for Manchester City.

"Messi!"

John Mortensen exclaimed that Messi was about to burst into the box when he was knocked to the ground by Manchester City's centre-back Vincent Kompany.

The Barcelona fans all got up from their seats, pointed to the Manchester City goal, and shouted: "Penalty! ”

And Manchester City fans don't even dare to take a breath of air.

Messi was too fast when he burst into the penalty area just now, and Kompany's foul on him also happened between lightning and flint, and they didn't see it very clearly, and they didn't know where Kompany's foul was. Anyway, now Messi is falling in the penalty area!

The Barcelona players quickly ran to the referee and put pressure on the referee to award a penalty.

But the referee's gesture was not to the penalty spot in the box, but to the place where the foul was committed, and he ran there - just outside the line!

"It's a free kick!" John Mortenson let out a sigh.

The Barcelona players unrelentingly surrounded the referee and told him that Vincent Kompany must have committed a foul in the box.

And Messi also jumped up from the ground and protested to the referee with some excitement.

However, slow-motion replays on television clearly showed that Kompany's foul was committed outside the penalty area, even though it was not even half a metre from the penalty line.

No matter how much the Barcelona players protested, there was nothing they could do to change the referee's decision. He insisted it was a free-kick, not a penalty.

Kompany, on the other hand, received a yellow card for the foul.

Being a central defender with a yellow card on his back is a dangerous thing in the game, but there is no way, if Kompany had not committed a foul just now, Messi would have gotten in. Once in the box, Kompany couldn't do anything he wanted.

So this foul is a must. I1292
