I Want to Be the King of Football

The first half ended with a temporary lead of Manchester City 2-1.

During the intermission, both teams improved and made up for the problems exposed in the first half, but overall, the tactics have not changed much. They still adopted the same set of play in the first half. Law.

But what no one thought was that after the start of the second half, Barcelona took the lead to overcome a wave of high-intensity press.

Especially by taking advantage of the opportunity of Manchester City's kick-off, a large-scale pressure, directly launched a crazy press against Manchester City's midfielder.

In a pressing press, Joe Hart was interfered by Messi. When passing the ball to Marcelo, he passed the ball too weakly, and Pedro was the first to cut it.

Everyone was shocked. Marcelo returned to the defense at the first time and blocked Pedro, but the Barcelona winger still cut to the ribs and sent a ball behind him. Messi stopped before Pepe. After the ball is dunked by Pepe, hit it again with his left foot.

A curve ball directly penetrated Manchester City's goal, two to two!

The game is back to a tie again!

Joe Hart beat the grass hard, extremely annoyed.

Just now, under Messi’s pressing, he hurriedly tried to pass the ball out. He didn’t notice that Pedro was near Marcelo. The result became what he is now, watching Pedro assist. Messi scored.

This kind of low-level error made Joe Hart somewhat shameless to see his teammates ashamed.

He felt that he was now in an endless loop.

The more he wants to work hard and perform well, the more likely he is to make mistakes. The more mistakes he makes, the more pressure he will put on him and the more he wants to perform well...

He knew that he was experiencing the biggest dilemma in his career.

...

...

Joe Hart's passing error caused Manchester City to lose the ball for the second time. It also allowed Barcelona to achieve very good results in the second half of the game. Morale skyrocketed and continued to push Manchester City fiercely.

Suddenly, Manchester City was hit in halftime.

This situation is difficult to see in the first half, but after the start of the second half, Barcelona played very smoothly.

Shortly after Messi scored the goal, Barcelona once again created an opportunity.

After Iniesta and Messi completed a two-by-one match in the middle, he drove the ball to the front of the penalty area and sent a through kick.

Villa obliquely inserted into the penalty area, and after receiving the ball on the left side of the penalty spot, he kicked the ball directly.

Under the interference of Kompany, Villa's shot was too positive and was directly confiscated by Joe Hart.

Just four minutes later, Messi sent a through pass, penetrated Busquets and Pepe two defenders, fell to the right side of the penalty area, Pedro quickly inserted and stopped the ball.

This time it was Joe Hart who abandoned the goal decisively and directly hugged Pedro's large ball to the ground.

The beautiful attack also won Joe Hart a round of applause.

Facts have also proved that England is not without strength, but some of his characteristics really do not match Manchester City, especially his passing and receiving, the success rate is too low.

After resolving Barcelona's two threatening attacks in a row, Manchester City has gradually gained a foothold.

The start of the second half did play a bit of a waste, but the draw should continue.

Mourinho took the lead in making substitution adjustments in the 60th minute.

With Cedou Keita replaced Pedro, the team returned to a formation similar to four or two, allowing Messi and Villa to push out.

The purpose of Barcelona's substitution is mainly to adjust the team's midfield, which is a bit of a sense of stability.

However, after adjusting to four forty-two, Yaya Toure became more active in the midfield.

Guardiola was five minutes behind Mourinho's substitution and replaced Di Maria with Hazard.

Manchester City continued to adopt a four-three-three play, unwavering.

Almost immediately after Guardiola's substitution, Mourinho also made a second substitution, Fabregas replaced Villa.

Many people have misunderstood the position of Fabregas.

The Spanish midfielder played as a midfielder at Arsenal, and even delayed, but in fact, when he was in the Barcelona youth team, Fabregas played as a midfielder and striker. He was a standard scoring type. Players.

Fabregas was not very much valued by Mourinho, but he couldn't stand the Barcelona management needing him to return, especially after so many years of hype, and finally bought him back, so Mourinho can only use him.

Arranging Fabregas to play is also allowing him to play a forward position in the midfield, which is conducive to inserting in the back. Messi's position is more free, and even hardly giving him any restrictions, allowing him to play freely.

After two substitutions, it is not difficult to see Mourinho's strategy, which is basically to stabilize his defense, let a few technical geniuses play by themselves and kick as they can score.

Guardiola's strategy is to continue to consolidate Manchester City's possession.

Hazard’s ball-handling ability is much stronger than Di Maria. Let him go, and with Sueton and Sanchez, two players with strong ball-handling ability, it can further strengthen Manchester City’s ability to control the ball in the frontcourt. In midfield.

Guardiola's meaning is already very obvious, that is, continue to fight for the ball, suppress Barcelona on the ball, and then create more opportunities.

It can be said that the two substitutions also basically reflect the concepts of the two head coaches in coaching.

...

...

Gradually, after successive substitutions, as the game progressed, Manchester City's possession rate gradually took advantage.

Especially after entering the seventy minutes, the physical fitness of both sides declined. After Hazard took the field, Manchester City's advantage in passing the ball in the midfield gradually became obvious, and Barcelona was faintly suppressed.

After Hazard came off the bench, he was also very active on the left.

Manchester City's attack also began to lean towards this side, playing Hazard's threat of dribbling.

On the defensive end, Kompany, Pepe and Busquets are firmly locked in Messi and Fabregas.

This set of play allowed Manchester City to barely control the scene, and began to try to break through with the ball at the front of Barcelona's penalty area, trying to create some opportunities to try to penetrate Barcelona's defense.

But I have to say that Mourinho may not be good at training offense and ball possession, but in terms of defense, he is really very good.

When he really wanted to defend, Barcelona's defense really became very strong.

The two lines of defense are very hierarchical, and the distance is kept tight, making it difficult for Manchester City to penetrate.

However, the price is more obvious, that is, sacrificing the team's passing and possession.

Sudong patiently cruised in the front of the restricted area, especially around the arc top area.

He often ran over to find Hazard and Sanchez, or David Silva with the ball advancing, just to try to create some opportunities, or to make some fouls by taking more balls.

Su Dong's free kick attainments are extraordinary, as long as he is within range, he is sure.

But Mourinho clearly knows this, so Barcelona has few fouls outside the penalty area tonight, not even in the middle. Basically, the fouls are concentrated on the wing, or decisively kicked out of the range.

And the tactics adopted by Manchester City, especially the tactics of Hazard, David Silva and Sanchez's frequency ball breakthrough, in Barcelona's view, are somewhat suspected of being involved in a foul.

But even so, Barcelona still does not easily give Manchester City such an opportunity.

Until the seventy-ninth minute, when Su Dong received a cross from Hazard from the left, he stopped and tried to get rid of Yaya Touré and directly faced the goal direction. Turning around, he shoveled Su Dong to the periphery of the arc top of the penalty area.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines furious and roared.

Obviously, under high pressure, Mourinho is quite dissatisfied with the team giving Manchester City a free kick in the frontcourt at such a critical moment because it is too dangerous.

…

In the tumult of the audience, Barcelona began to set up a wall of people.

This time, the whole team of Barcelona retreated, and no one was even left in the frontcourt. They all retreated into the penalty area.

Five players arranged an adult wall and stood at the penalty spot to the left, lined up.

There are also two players standing to the right of the penalty spot, some distance away from the five players.

Manchester City let Marcelo and David Silva stand in the middle of the two rows of Barcelona's walls, and there is a gap in the middle that can probably stand one person.

Su Dong stood at the penalty spot, through the gap, you can just see the goalkeeper Valdes in front of the goal.

This is the arrangement of Valdes.

If Su Dong walks through the gap, there is no chance at all.

Valdez’s position is on the right, UU reading www.uukanshu. That's why com arranged a five-man wall on the left side of the penalty spot, which can be said to protect all angles, unless Su Dong's free throw can bypass the top of the wall and fall back into the goal range.

With the strength of the Barcelona goalkeeper, even if Su Dong does it, unless he sticks to the left column, he is still confident to throw out, his reaction and movement speed are very fast, and the save is also very agile.

"Are you sure you don't need cover?" Tony Cross asked concerned.

Su Dong shook his head and pointed to the right side of the top of the arc, "You stand over and don't hinder my performance."

Tony Cross shook his head grinningly, but walked to the opposite side obediently.

In fact, he can see it, Valdes knows that Su Dong will come to fight, so it makes no sense to cover or not.

This is the duel between Su Dong and Valdes!

After the wall was placed, the referee Keppers retreated outside the penalty area, and after a final confirmation, he blew his whistle to signal that he could free throws.

Su Dong looked directly at Valdes in front of him, and the Barcelona goalkeeper stared Su Dong to death like an enemy.

After taking a deep breath, Su Dong quickly jumped out, and after three runs, he quickly kicked a curve ball with his right foot.

The ball climbed up, over the top of the high-jumping wall, then fell quickly, and finally traversed a beautiful arc, scratching the left post and getting into Barcelona's goal.

"Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!"

"Direct free kick clean and neat!!"

"A wonderful direct free kick from Su Dong!"

"Deadly dead end!"

"Valdes didn't have time to react, and the ball wiped the post into the goal!"

"Three to two! Manchester City once again exceeded the score!"
