I Want to Be the King of Football

In the tenth minute of the game, after Barcelona intercepted the ball in their own half, Iniesta quickly passed the ball to Messi who retreated in the center. The Argentine superstar immediately led the ball to instigate a counterattack.

I saw Messi dribbling the ball diagonally to the right, as if he was going to find Pedro to cooperate, but just after the center line, he suddenly turned and cut to the center, a sharp acceleration, and forcibly broke through the defense of David Xi. Alva.

After the breakthrough, Messi continued to dribble the ball and used a skilful fake to buckle Busquets. He continued to dribble the ball to the periphery of the top arc of the penalty area. A large restricted area was passed in the middle.

Joe Hart's original position was at the front of the small penalty area, but after Kompany and Pepe retreated, he also withdrew his position to the goal line. The moment he saw Messi pass the ball, He obviously wanted to attack, but he hesitated. When he abandoned the door to attack, he was a little slower, and Villa took a step ahead.

It may be the time difference of a few tenths of a second.

Only by this point, Villa took the first step to slam the ball past Joe Hart, making England's strike out and hitting the ball again, and the ball went directly into the empty goal behind him, one to one!

The entire Louis II stadium burst into cheers again.

Villa's goal successfully equalized the score for Barcelona, ​​but also allowed Barcelona to regain morale.

From zero to one to one to one, the two teams adopted a point-to-point attack against Maimang.

"In the first ten minutes, we saw Manchester City and Barcelona both play quite positively."

"Both teams didn't back down, but took the initiative to take the initiative. They used their best high positions to press and press. They were pressing and pressing their opponents, and they tried every means to push forward as soon as they got the ball."

"The game was very intense and it was also very exciting."

"We can clearly see that Sudong and Messi are the backbone of their respective teams, and they have also played a key role in delivering goals and assists for their teams."

"Now that the game is back to the same starting line, let's see how the next two teams will play."

…

At the moment Villa scored, Mourinho rushed out of the coach's command area excitedly.

Obviously, this goal is of great significance to him.

Because the player who stole the ball was Yaya Toure.

From defense to offense, Yaya Toure steals the ball and Messi drove the ball straight into it, breaking through two Manchester City players, especially the second player Busquets, which was directly passed by Messi.

Thinking of this, Mourinho returned to the command area under the advice of the fourth official from the sideline, but he did not forget to glance at Vilanova in the coach seat, as if he was asking the assistant, Yaya Touré really Is it a hidden danger?

Why did I see his role and contribution just now?

However, through the first ten minutes of the game, Mourinho also believed in Vilanova's judgment that Guardiola really did not intend to adopt defensive tactics, but to play against Barcelona.

This is really interesting.

This group of Barcelona players, from Messi to Xavi to Iniesta, have played together for at least eight years. Pedro and Pique are both in their own youth training, and Villa and Alves are also in A player who has played for many years in La Liga.

It can be said that this group of Barcelona players have a very good understanding.

Where is Manchester City?

But it's just a mercenary that has been invented for a year. Guardiola can restrain them with his tactics, kicking the pass and control the ball. Does he really want to grab the ball with Barcelona?

Are they qualified?

Mourinho turned his head and glanced at Guardiola next door.

He is under a lot of pressure, and Guardiola is also not easy.

You know?

In the past few years, everyone who played against Barcelona has died miserably in the end!

Manchester City is no exception!

…

Guardiola noticed Mourinho's provocative look, but he did not respond, but walked back.

"If Joe Hart stood a little bit further out, and attacked a little more decisively, the goal would not have been scored at all."

Guardiola is really depressed.

Joe Hart has really become the weakest link in Manchester City's passing system and the biggest hidden danger.

It feels like Manchester City is playing with Yaya Toure, while Barcelona is playing with Joe Hart.

Every time the goalkeeper is returned, the Barcelona Trident will force Joe Hart.

Needless to say, the reason is to force England to make mistakes.

“Our team is like a chain on a bicycle. Every player is a section of the chain. Joe Hart’s section is loose. When there is usually no pressure, or when the pressure is not strong enough, he seems comfortable. It's not a big problem, but once it comes to this kind of high-intensity and high-pressure competition, it's like a bicycle climbing a hill with a load. No one knows when this chain will come off."

Guardiola uttered a metaphor that he thought of temporarily, and regretted making Joe Hart the first.

This is a feature of Manchester City's first few games of the season.

Joe Hart and Courtois take turns starting to see who performs better.

The Community Shield and the European Super Cup are both single-game decisive battles. Joe Hart has more experience, so the coaching staff wanted him to play, hoping that he could stabilize, but unexpectedly, he still made a mistake.

"He is also a bit nervous, and under a lot of pressure." Vinsue analyzed.

Joe Hart's abilities are actually not problematic, and it's enough to keep the goal alone.

But in Guardiola's tactics, the goalkeeper is not only to keep the goal, but also to do more. Some of the work makes Joe Hart unable to do so. Coupled with the competitive pressure brought by Courtois, he gradually changes. Nervous, even a little anxious.

Sometimes people are like this.

Last season, there was no competitive pressure, Joe Hart was completely indulged, and now under pressure, he has become nervous and anxious again.

…

After Barcelona successfully equalized the score, the two teams returned to the same starting line.

The two sides still adopted the tactics after the opening, and neither of them gave in.

Barcelona also gradually felt the difference between Manchester City and all the other teams that they encountered before.

The first is the high position pressure. Manchester City, like them, are very active in the midfield. Even the big names such as Su Dong, they have launched a positive pressure on Barcelona's midfield and backcourt.

Di Maria and Sanchez are also very dedicated, which makes Manchester City's midfield press not only not lost to Barcelona, ​​but even better. These two players are more invested in counter-grabbing than Pedro and Billy. Asia is even better.

This is true for the two side roads, and so is Sudong in the middle.

In addition to facing Barcelona's two central defenders, Su Dong also actively withdrew and harassed Yaya Toure, which caused Barcelona's entire passing and control system to frequently get stuck in the position of the midfielder.

And this reflected on the pitch, in terms of statistics, Manchester City actually has a slight advantage in passing and controlling the ball.

Fifty-one to forty-nine, Manchester City also led by two percentage points.

This also reflects the role of Busquets.

The combination of Barcelona’s Harvey and Iniesta, whether in passing ability or tacit understanding, is better than David Silva and Tony Kroos, but Manchester City can have a slight advantage in possession, Busk Ci contributed a lot.

However, Yaya Toure also has its own advantages.

Another difference between Manchester City and other teams is that after they intercept the ball, they can always pass quickly.

In the past, when facing other teams, Barcelona’s core weapon was high-position pressure and pressure. After grabbing the ball, pass the ball with an inverted foot, instigate an attack, and immediately put into a counter grab after losing the ball. The opponents are always easy to press under this pressure. Lost the ball.

But after meeting Manchester City, Barcelona's players found that after Manchester City grabbed the ball, they were not afraid of them.

This is what shocked them most.

They have a feeling that they are not facing a Premier League team, but another Barcelona.

What's more terrible is that this "Barcelona" may not be as good as theirs, but the ability to pass the ball is not inferior, and the ability to press and press is even slightly better, which makes them feel very unbelievable.

…

The game was going on under the battle of two "Barcelona".

Both sides have created a lot of opportunities, but they are not perfect opportunities, and they have not been able to grasp the opportunities. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

The mood of the fans at the scene will follow the game, one after another, just like a roller coaster.

Until the 34th minute, Manchester City launched an attack on the left. David Silva picked a pass and sent the ball to the baseline. Di Maria was stuck by Alves and could not pass the ball. Su Dong, who was in the penalty area, was forced to grab the ball before the baseline, stopped the ball with his foot, and passed it back to Marcelo, who came in later.

Marcelo stopped the ball in the left corner of the penalty area. Facing Harvey who returned to the defense, he made an emergency stop and then started suddenly.

Su Dong was on the left side of the penalty area, and he jammed Pique with his body and stopped the ball.

Mascherano is behind the two, ready to help defend Pique and block Su Dong's shooting angle.

It can be said that under this situation, there is basically no possibility of Su and Dong starting.

After Su Dong stopped the ball, he glanced at the surrounding situation and knew this clearly, so he turned slightly to the right and passed the ball directly with his right foot back to the top area of ​​the arc.

I saw a sky blue figure swiftly inserted, facing Su Dong's pass, pulling the stick without stopping the ball, and hitting directly with the kick.

Valdez reacted quickly, changing his position in the first place, and quickly pounced sideways.

The ball is almost in a straight line, against the turf, into the lower right corner of the goal.

The Barcelona goalkeeper was ultimately beyond his reach.

At this time, everyone sees clearly that the front of the penalty area is Manchester City's German midfielder, Tony Kroos.

Yaya Toure, who was supposed to be in front of Tony Cross, failed to get his position in time at this moment, resulting in the empty area at the front of Barcelona’s penalty area, which allowed Tony Cross to get away smoothly. Shot, broke Barcelona's goal.

Two to one!

Manchester City is another city!
