Looking at Manchester United's starting lineup, Carragher in the live broadcast room laughed again.

"Manchester United can't win this game!"

Alan Shearer next to him looked at him: "It's starting to be a black man again, right?" Are you sure you can't win before the game starts? ”

Carragher looked serious and pointed to Manchester United's starting line-up.

"This time I didn't hack them, but analyzed them very seriously.

"Look at Manchester United's starting line-up,

'Ole Gunnar Solskjaer actually started Anthony Martial as a right winger,

"And Pogba is back in the playmaker's position,

"It's really convincing,

"Could it be that Anthony Martial and Pogba are his godsons?

"Can't he see the unstable state of the two in recent times?

"Or is Manchester United really unavailable?

'This game has Pogba in front,

"Xia is determined to take on the defensive task to the maximum extent,

"I'm really convinced of this guy,

"There's Manchester United blood, but it's far worse than Ferguson's line-up."

Carragher's comments were very sharp, and although Alan Shearer next to him didn't say anything, he agreed very much in his heart.

Indeed it is.

The line-up for this game was a bit too egos.

How well Manchester United played in the last game, 6-0, Watford cried and shouted mother.

If it were me, I would definitely continue the lineup from the last game.

Even if you consider physical fitness issues, you will only adjust individual positions as appropriate, and you can't make such a big move.

Manchester United is really hard to say about this game......

On the sidelines, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde had a serious expression.

Facing the defending champions, he knew it would be difficult.

Especially in the face of a super giant like Xia Xing, it is even more stressful.

You must know that Xia Xing is a top star who can change the situation alone.

How to lock up the summer trip to the maximum extent in this game will be the biggest issue for the Barcelona defense.

However, after waiting for the game to start, the Barcelona defenders were much more steady.

Xia Xing's position is not so high.

Is this the case again?

The referee's whistle blew, and the game between the two sides officially began.

Barcelona's side is still passing steadily, mastering the rhythm of the game, and waiting for opportunities slowly.

A few attempts were made to pass the ball forward, but the chances were not great, so they simply withdrew and continued to wait for the opportunity.

Soon they found out that Xia Xing's position was further back than they thought!

And so it was!

Ahead of the game, Valverde had speculated that United would have two strategies.

One is to continue the onslaught of the 6-0 sweep of Watford in the last game, with Xia Xing as the core of the attack and operating in the frontcourt.

If this is the case, Barcelona's defense will be under great pressure, and it will be difficult for the attack to press down significantly.

It's not a good game.

The other is that Manchester United let Xia Xing retreat to help defend and focus on stability, and let Pogba be the core of the frontcourt attack.

If that's the case, that's easy.

Sure enough, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opted for the latter.

In this way, Barcelona has almost no defensive pressure!

This means that they can be more bold and pressed!

Taking advantage of a passing opportunity on the side, Barcelona suddenly launched a fast attack!

Left-back Alba plays the ball quickly and the ball goes straight to the front!

Coutinho catches the ball and knocks on the middle!

Sergio Busquets cut in forward, a diagonal pass without stopping!

Rakitic taps again and hands it to Messi!

Messi took the lead and rushed into the penalty area!

Cross to Suarez!

Suarez has the ball with his back and he doesn't even have to look to know what to do!

Slam the ball back to the right again!

Messi catches the ball!

The two made a two-on-one match!

At the near post, Messi volleys with his feet!

The ball is extremely fast and goes straight into the net!

1 to 0!

"In the 15th minute, Barcelona scored the first goal!

"It was their first shot of the game!

"The combination of continuous short passes completely penetrated the Manchester United defence!

"Even if you are the defending champion, you can't do anything in front of the world-class passing!

"This fast attack completely broke down the Manchester United defence!

"I believe this is by no means the first time that Barcelona has scored in this game!"

Carragher's words may sound harsh, but they are.

Just now, between Barcelona's passes, Manchester United really didn't react effectively defensively.

Especially in the midfield position, Nemanja Matic and Fred are not fast and there is a lot of pressure in the face of such a high frequency of attack.

And Xia Xing's retreat alone is also difficult to support.

If Messi fights hard with the ball alone, Xia Xing still has a certain degree of certainty to prevent it.

But this kind of pass-and-control play that involves the defense line, Xia Xing has no choice.

It was a problem to concede a goal shortly after the start.

However, United will not be discouraged by a goal.

In the following period, Manchester United's offensive was also frequently suppressed.

Pogba was still very active today, and in the Barcelona half, he dribbled forward with the ball, and there was indeed a certain threat.

Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial were also active in their movements, looking for opportunities.

Overall, United's attacking trident did a decent job today.

But their opponent is Barcelona, the mighty Barcelona.

This level of attack can't tear apart Barcelona's defence.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Pogba slid out of the goal with a long-range shot.

In the 27th minute of the game, Pogba passed Martial diagonally, Martial rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and the final shot was weak and was easily held by Ter Stegen.

Two consecutive attacks, both thunder and rain.

Manchester United failed to take their chances, and Barca's attack returned.

Even when Manchester United was attacking, Barcelona did not retreat from all sides, but balanced attack and defense.

The front trident is still looking for opportunities near United's penalty area.

At this moment, the opportunity has come again.

Romelu Lukaku sprinted with the ball, Pique cleared the ball and it fell to Sergio Busquets.

Barcelona's metronome controls the tempo a little and waits for the forward players to move.

Two seconds later, a long ball went straight to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area!

Find Coutinho!

The Brazilian winger sprints quickly, raises his leg to catch the ball, and crosses with one kick!

Suarez jumped high but didn't touch the ball!

Was it a mistake?

No!

He's feinting!

The ball flies to the back post!

Manchester United left-back Ashley Young accelerated with all his might, but still couldn't stop Barcelona's No.10!

Messi jumped up lightly and volleyed!

It's too close and goalkeeper De Gea can't do anything!

The ball is inserted into the corner of the goal!

2 to 0!

Barcelona scored another goal!

The Camp Nou once again applauded and cheered!

"It's the 41st minute of the game and Barcelona is extending their lead!

"Another wonderful combination, another Messi's final blow!

"Wonderful cushion shot, so ingenious!

"It was a great match with all the Barcelona players!

"Pique's decisive tackle,

'Sergio Busquets' calm control,

"Coutinho's wonderful cross,

"Suarez's false shot,

"Messi's blow is fatal!

"The Argentine ace became the red cherry on the cake of the wonderful Barcelona!

"Perfect end to this attack!

"He's a hero at Camp Nou!" (End of chapter)
