When the football flew into the goal, the Barcelona fans were a little stunned, they didn't expect that Manchester City would score the next goal.

From the second half of the game, until Manchester City's counterattack just now, most of the time Barcelona was attacking, Manchester City was defending, as if Manchester City was going to hold the goal until the last moment, the game completely became a half-time offensive and defensive battle, so they were worried about whether the team could score, not whether the opponent would continue to score.

Fernandos Sanchez-Bob, a broadcaster on Spain's national television station, thinks the same way, and just a moment ago he said, "It's clear that Manchester City are trying to keep the goal. It's a bit of a conservative idea, but it's been a success to take away an away goal at Camp Nou. If they can hold on to the net and walk away with a win, they will have a very strong advantage when they return to home, where Barcelona will be in danger. ”

"Now for Barcelona, it's about equalizing as soon as possible, and even trying to overtake the score, because even if Barcelona score two more goals, the score is only 2-1, and 2-1 at home can only be reluctantly accepted, after all, they still have to go through an away ......"

"Maybe Barcelona's delay in scoring goals is also related to Messi's performance, he should pay attention to his form and try to get rid of Manchester City's defensive ...... against him"

Just after Fernandos Sanchez-Bob analyzed the situation on the field, Manchester City's counter-attack began, from Morris to Ozil, from Ozil to Daren Bent, after the two made a one-two, the ball was passed to the feet of Torres, and the halfway time was only 7 or 8 seconds, so short that Fernandos was stunned there, and then he saw Torres kick the ball into the goal.

"Torres ......"

Torres ...... Torres ...... Fernandos seemed to be a little unsure of what tone to use to explain the goal, and after shouting a few times in a row, he rubbed his eyes before it was indeed Manchester City's goal, and then he said in a somewhat lamenting tone, "Torres has scored!" Our golden boy helps Manchester City shoot the ball into the Barcelona goal! ”

Club games do not discriminate the nationality of the players, Fernandos also realized that Torres actually has nothing to do with Barcelona, and his previous Atletico Madrid will only have conflicts with Barcelona, and will never have anything to do with it, and then he no longer mentions Torres, just lamenting the goal, "Manchester City relied on a quick counterattack and scored another goal, 0-2, this score is too bad for Barcelona...... They should also pay attention to the defensive ...... when attacking."

Fernandos's tone is obviously inclined to Barcelona, he is very worried about Barcelona's unfavorable situation, and in turn, the British Sky Sports commentator is inclined to Manchester City, because Manchester City is a club in England, even if Wan Sheng himself dismisses it, but the English media actually hopes that the two Premier League teams can meet in the final, so after seeing Torres score, he shouted excitedly, "Torres-!!" ”

"0 to 2!"

"Seeing this goal, I would even like to say that the suspense is over! At the Camp Nou, the visiting Manchester City led by two goals, which is unimaginable! Barcelona had been attacking and they wanted to equalise with a strong attack, but Manchester City told them with a goal that defense is also very important......

"Manchester City's counter-attack was very fast, Morris broke the ball to Torres sent the ball into the goal, and it took no more than 10 seconds in total, as if Barcelona were attacking one moment, and the football flew into the Barcelona goal the next moment, it was ...... Incredibly fast! ”

"This is the fast attack that Manchester City relies on, several front-court players cooperate very well, and in continuous cooperation, Barcelona's poor defense does not play a role at all, they have no time to defend, most of the players can only watch the football fly into the goal......"

"But it's not surprising that Manchester City can score again, Barcelona suppressed Manchester City as a whole, but their performance was actually not good, Messi, who had high hopes before the game, has not performed much, and even said that he seems to have disappeared in the game......"

"This may be thanks to Brummer, who has been keeping an eye on Messi and making it impossible for the Argentine star to play. Since his move to Manchester City, Brummer has been a solid performer, but because he is not very good at attacking, and the team has a core offensive and defensive player like Morris, Brummer has not played much. Perhaps many people were still wondering what Wansheng was doing when he bought Brazilians? After this game, I don't think anyone will be confused, in defense, Brummer played the biggest role, he successfully froze Messi, who is the core of Barcelona! ”

The English Sky Sports commentator was relentless in his criticism of Barcelona and praised Manchester City.

Manchester City fans were all in a frenzy.

The majority of the Barcelona fans were silent, they didn't expect the game to turn out like this, just now they were expecting the team to score a quick equalizer, but the opponent scored a goal 'quickly', the gap between the ideal and the reality made them a little difficult to accept, some fans did not want to believe that it was true, but the numbers on the scoreboard at the Camp Nou could not be clearer.

0：2！

The home team Barcelona is two goals behind!

Torres's goal was a huge blow to Barcelona, from the head coach Rijkaard, to the players on the bench, all with gloomy faces and silent words.

They had no idea that the team would be two goals behind at the Camp Nou!

The reality is a bit beyond what they can accept, and they come into the game with the mentality of knocking out Manchester City and reaching the final, and at least they will win the first leg at Camp Nou.

As long as you win, you will have an advantage, and after going to Manchester Stadium, the second leg will be easier.

But two goals behind?

Both are two goals behind at home, how can you play away?

Rijkaard has not recovered until now, but he knows that the team's biggest problem is actually Messi, and if Messi's problem is not solved and goes to Manchester Stadium, they will not do anything.

――――

Rijkaard believes that the biggest reason why the game has been played to this extent is that Messi was defended and did not show anything at all.

Wan Sheng doesn't see it that way.

In Wansheng's view, there are two reasons why the team can lead by two goals at Camp Nou, one is that the opponent relies too much on core players, and the other is that the overall strength of Manchester City is stronger than the current Barcelona.

Barcelona's style of play is flashy, a little more flashy than Manchester City's 'OS-F' system of control, but they have a fatal weakness, which is that they rely too much on their core players.

Previously Ronaldinho, now Messi.

It doesn't matter who the core players are, but there is no doubt about the impact of the core players on the team's performance, many times Barcelona do not perform well because the core players do not perform well, and conversely, as long as the core players perform well, Barcelona will perform quite well as a whole.

That's why, when Barcelona lost the 'national derby', everyone from the manager to the media blamed Ronaldinho.

In fact, Manchester City as a whole will also be affected by the performance of core players, but it is definitely not to the extent of Barcelona, such as Morris, even if Morris is injured and unable to play, the team's performance is still very good, Ozil and Silva's partnership can also make the team play normally, and the team is also very adaptable to other styles of play, and will not be affected by Barcelona to the same extent because of 'no core'.

It was precisely because he knew Barcelona's weakness that Wan Sheng arranged a defense against Messi.

After Messi was heavily defended and unable to perform normally, Barcelona's attack was greatly affected, and they were unable to break through Manchester City's goal for a long time, which accounted for a large reason.

The second point is the overall quality of Manchester City.

Wansheng asked Brummer to keep an eye on Messi, and also asked Morris to pay attention, and other players will also pay attention to blocking Messi's passing and receiving routes when they are running, which is a very large defensive investment.

After investing a lot of defensive energy in the opponent's single player, it can be seen that Manchester City still has no advantage when defending Barcelona's offensive, and the counterattack can still play very sharp, which shows that the team's strength is not worse than Barcelona at all.

Since the strength is not bad, what is so strange about the game being played to this extent?

――――

Wan Sheng is pleased that the competition has achieved the desired result.

It was too advantageous for the team to be able to lead Barcelona by two goals at the Camp Nou, so next, he did not let the team 'greed' and attack the Barcelona goal, but let the team continue to retreat to the defense.

The most important thing now is not to strive for a greater advantage, but to maintain it.

The two-goal advantage was enough to send the team back to the Manchester Stadium for a comfortable second leg, but if Barcelona scored a goal, the suspense would increase a lot.

Wan Sheng doesn't like suspense, he likes everything in his hands.

So then, Manchester City began to defend, more solid than before, even Torres returned to the penalty line, Manchester City put on a strict defensive posture.

Barcelona continued to attack Manchester City, they were desperate to have a goal, but just now Manchester City's counterattack, made them a little restricted, worried that Manchester City would come back to such a fast attack, so they also had to take care of defense, and the attack was not as fierce as just now.

In this case, they faced Manchester City's tighter defence, and the result was predictable.

In the 81st minute of the game, Wan Sheng made a substitution, Darren Bent was replaced, and Boateng came on.

The Spanish media simply interpreted the substitution as, "Manchester City continues to add defensive ......"

The British media 'kindly' reminded Barcelona that they should still pay attention to Manchester City's counterattack, "Even if Darren Bent is off, there are Torres, Ozil and others on the field, they are enough to pose a threat to the Barcelona goal." ”

Maybe Barcelona didn't think so, after Manchester City made a substitution, they realized that Manchester City had strengthened their defense, probably given up attacking, so their attack was more open.

As a result, in the 85th minute of the game, Manchester City hit the Barcelona penalty line with a fast attack, and Morris almost knocked on the door of Valdés' handle again with a powerful volley.

Watching the football fly against the crossbar, all the Barcelona people broke out in a cold sweat, and they immediately realized that Manchester City were not helpless!

The rest of the game can be described as 'uneventful', with Barcelona failing to pose a threat to the Manchester City goal and City not launching a sharp counter-attack.

The final match ended 0-2.

Manchester City won the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

――――

When the referee blew the final whistle, the Manchester City players cheered and celebrated, while the Barcelona players kept their heads down, in disbelief that they would lose two goals at Camp Nou.

Wan Sheng took the initiative to go to Rijkaard to shake hands.

The Dutchman looked at Wan Sheng with a little loss, a little disappointment, and a little ...... Indignant, he also thought that Wan Sheng was the same person as him, a manager who insisted on a combination of 'flashy and use', and the match between Barcelona and Manchester City would also be a classic offensive football battle that will go down in history.

After this game, he realized that his judgment was completely wrong.

This young Chinese completely plays 'practical' football, and as for whether it is gorgeous or not, whether it is offensive or not, perhaps he does not care at all.

Because the other party is completely utilitarian!

This 'classic offensive football battle' that he was looking forward to has completely become 'another victory in utilitarian football', and now in the face of Wan Sheng, Rijkaard feels indignant and lost, indignant needless to say, he is disappointed that he lost to utilitarian football, Barcelona lost to Manchester City by two goals, and he undoubtedly lost completely.

But......

"The two legs are not over yet, we still have a chance in the next game!"

Rijkaard said solemnly to Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, gave Rijkaard a thumbs up, and said, "Come on!" ”

――――

Wan Sheng's last 'come on' undoubtedly made Rijkaard very angry.

When he said provocative words, he didn't want to hear a 'come on', which meant that the other party didn't care at all, maybe in the other party's heart, he had already determined that Manchester City could qualify, so he didn't care about his words.

So Rijkaard gritted his teeth at Wansheng.

This sentiment was carried over to the press conference, where the Dutchman repeatedly stressed that "0-2 is not the end, we will learn the lessons of this one, go to Manchester, we still have a chance." ”

Wan Sheng celebrated the victory with the players before going to the press conference.

By the time he arrived at the venue, Rijkaard had already left, perhaps it was also the tacit understanding of the two 'not meeting', and a reporter immediately told Wan Sheng what Rijkaard said just now, wanting to hear how this young Chinese would reply.

But Wansheng didn't say anything about this issue at all, but talked about it before the game, "I said before that Messi is an excellent player, so we must pay attention to Messi, but it seems that many people don't take my words to heart, but take them out of context and think that I am just praising Messi, but in fact, what I emphasize is that we need to defend Messi seriously." ”

"See? 0 to 2, that's the consequence of you taking things out of context......"

"I hope that you, as a media, should be more professional in your reporting, and listen to all the words of the interview, listen to all the words, do you understand? I'm really emphasizing defending Messi rather than praising him...... Oh, you're ......."

Wan Sheng covered his forehead with a painful look. (To be continued.) )
