Chapter 184 Suffocation at the beginning!
"Manchester City's starting lineup today is [-]. Guardiola unexpectedly changed the formation. The top double center forward configuration can concentrate the strongest firepower on Barcelona's central defender!
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.
Defenders: Kyle Walker, Kompany, Stones, Clichy.
Midfield: David Silva, Yaya Toure, Kante, Mahrez.
Forwards: Aguero, Zhao Jinge.
De Bruyne's physical fatigue increased after the first round of the game. Today he sat on the bench and David Silva started the game.
Manchester City's starting lineup is still tough, and they will inevitably launch a more violent offensive at home to contain Barcelona's counterattack.
Barcelona started four three three.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba.
Midfield: Busquets, Iniesta, Roberto.
Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
It was different from the starting lineup a week ago, but Barcelona still came up with their strongest lineup.
The game is about to start, let's see if Barcelona will be restrained by Manchester City's high pressure again today.
If Barcelona cannot win today, they will be out of the Champions League this season, which is absolutely unacceptable to them. "
The fanatical cheers at the Etihad Stadium shook all directions.
When the game started, Barcelona kicked off, and as many as four Manchester City players launched a quick counterattack near the center circle.
The Barcelona generals were caught off guard!
When Manchester City started a week ago, they were not as manic as they are now. They first used counterattacks to threaten and then began to carry out suffocating pressing and attacking.
Why did you take the initiative to maximize the intensity and confrontation from the very beginning today?
The whole team is like taking drugs. From the beginning, it showed an aura that made Barcelona players feel very bad.
When Aguero and Zhao Jinge were pressing against Roberto and Iniesta respectively, Barcelona's offense had to turn to the wing.
Messi dribbled forward from the right and made a quick charge. Mahrez and Yaya Toure immediately pressed him continuously.
Messi slumped his shoulders, swayed and changed direction, speeding up and turning around. After getting rid of the two people one after another, Stones attacked and broke the ball.
Manchester City's defense succeeded and immediately launched a fast break.
Zhao Jinge responded from behind the center circle, pulled the ball, turned around and actively confronted to squeeze Iniesta away.
David Silva rushed forward quickly, Aguero followed up in the middle, Manchester City's defense entered the state quickly, the frantic counter-robbery was highly aggressive, and the housekeeping skills of speeding up and counter-attacking were never procrastinated.
Aguero received David Silva's pass from a position on the right side of the penalty area, and kicked the goal without making any adjustments!
The football flew to the near corner of the goal and was blocked by Ter Stegen from the side.
Alba retreated to the bottom line to control the ball, and Aguero and Zhao Jinge quickly retreated.
Aguero pressed to defend Roberto again, while Zhao Jinge still marked Iniesta, just like the first round, leaving no room for Barcelona's midfield to calmly organize.
The two full-backs were also extremely active in their fight today, and they directly stepped forward to mark Neymar and Messi closely.
Walker and Clichy did not press forward after the opening. The two full-backs stood between the midfield and the back line, and devoted their attention wholeheartedly to restricting Barcelona's two world-class wingers.
Therefore, the two full-backs of Manchester City can safely and boldly press up and press, completely without fear of the opponent's movement to escape.
Who told them that there are full-backs behind them who can help them wipe their butts?
Guardiola's tactics today are very simple and rude, with four guards on guard.
When attacking, the two defensive midfielders should be plugged in with the attack line, especially Yaya Toure, which can be used as a supplement to the attack line, and can also disrupt the opponent's defensive deployment. And notice Roberto's back plug.
The full-back not only entangles the opponent's wide players, but also turns into a front midfielder at any time, providing midfield organization and forward threatening passes.
Manchester City's main offensive today is to face off in the middle of the road. It is aimed at your two central defenders who are not in good condition. This weakness will be chased to death!
With Zhao Jinge and Aguero on the field, Manchester City seemed to have two sharp fangs attached to Barcelona's throat, ready to finish their opponents at any time.
Luis Enrique looked dignified, today's Manchester City made him feel very strange.
The "barbaric" attitude of Manchester City after the opening was unexpected.
This really caught Barcelona off guard.
When Barcelona wanted to speed up, they suddenly realized that their midfielder was frozen by Manchester City!
The defense of Aguero and Zhao Jinge like a shadow caused Barcelona's ability to control the field to decline significantly, and the conditions for shaping the offensive situation were also destroyed.
Guardiola's face was calm, sitting on the coach's bench, his eyes flashing with murderous intent made him look like a hunter waiting for his prey to be caught.
In the first round at Camp Nou, Manchester City took the initiative after the opening of the first half.
Returning to the Etihad in the second round, Manchester City not only maintained the same pressure on the offensive end and on the spot, but also improved a lot on the defensive end.
And the focus is no longer to curb the space for the MSN combination, but to target Barcelona's core midfielder!
It can be said that the caretaker of Neymar and Suarez has been relaxed in exchange for the suffocation of Messi and Barcelona midfielder!
There is no doubt that Barcelona's MSN combination needs to have a midfielder to deliver shells.
And when transferring the offense, the excessive role of the midfielder is also very critical.
When the season comes to an end, can Iniesta, who is approaching the age of 32, last nine to 10 minutes of high-intensity games?
Roberto was originally an obvious weak point in this wave of ups and downs in Barcelona's state, otherwise he would not be firmly suppressed by Rakitic on the bench.
Controlling Roberto and Iniesta is equivalent to abolishing the two legs of Barcelona's attack!
Without the strength of their legs, no matter how powerful their wings are, they can't take off off the ground!
Manchester City just wants to give Barcelona a sense of oppression that will be suffocated at the beginning!
The energetic and energetic Zhao Jinge is absolutely worthy of the jersey he wears on the court today. Together with Aguero, he firmly restricted the performance of Busquets and Xiao Ma.
Except for Alves and Alba, Barcelona's offensive line does not receive any support from the midfield. Even these two full-backs who can provide some support must first cross the crazy harassment of full-backs in the city.
In the 7th minute of the game, when Neymar advanced with the ball on the left side of the front court, under Kyle Walker's close press, he could not wait for Alba, who was entangled by Mahrez, to come to meet him. He had no choice but to Choose to go it alone!
Walker blocked the outside line, he was forced to change to the inside, and when he met Stones and then dialed the ball to change to a crosscut, Kanter suddenly passed him, intercepted the ball with his right foot, and then passed the ball forward Zhao Jinge responded.
Neymar hurried back to grab, Zhao Jinge had been prepared to take the initiative to fight and squeeze Neymar away!
Then he pulled the ball and turned around. Facing Iniesta who was up for grabs at this time, Zhao Jinge and Mahrez hit the wall nearby like a stroll.
He just took a step forward when Neymar, who got up from the ground behind him, rushed to knock him to the ground.
The referee whistled for a foul by Neymar.
When Zhao Jinge stood up, Neymar was standing in front of him, with a fierce expression as if he cared about Zhao Jinge knocking him over just now.
Zhao Jinge looked puzzled and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Neymar pointed at him and said, "Restrain my movements."
Kanter rushed up to help, but Zhao Jinge raised his hand to block Kanter, and asked Neymar in puzzlement:
"The referee didn't call me a foul just now, right? Look, the referee is here. You can ask him why he didn't call me a foul, and he will give you the answer.
If you can't get the referee to call me a foul, I will do the same next time. As a striker, you should know that my physical confrontation just now was very clean, and I didn't even use my hands! "
After Zhao Jinge finished speaking, he opened his hands and took two steps back.
Neymar argued with the referee again, but the referee instead penalized him for a foul, did not give him a card, and gave him a verbal warning.
In the 9th minute of the game, Manchester City made a fast break in the frontcourt. Aguero sent a diagonal pass to Yaya Toure who was plugging in from the center of the frontcourt. The latter took a long shot from outside the penalty area and sent the football into Terste Root's arms.
After Barcelona regained possession of the ball, they also took advantage of the trend to play a fast break.
However, their rhythm today is very bad, especially the formation can't hold up, and the forced fast rhythm seems a bit disjointed.
Without midfield pass control to shape the situation, it is difficult to gain an advantage on the scene.
When Busquets passed the ball to Messi, Messi tried to go outside from the right but found that Clichy blocked the line ahead of time.
The frowning Argentine ball king suddenly stopped and changed direction, trying to pass the ball behind Yaya Toure. Messi's on-the-spot control reaction was still very good.
David Silva, who followed all the way back, went up to block the inside line. Messi dialed the ball in a crosscut, and Kanter took the lead to poke the ball away just like Neymar.
"It's Kanter again! The two superstars of Barcelona have suffered at his feet. With him, Manchester City's defensive strength in the midfield has directly risen to a higher level!"
After Stones stepped forward to catch the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to Zhao Jinge.
After getting the ball, the Manchester City striker turned around and moved forward quickly. Before Iniesta could reach him, he sent a diagonal pass to the ground. David Silva entered the frontcourt from the left.
Zhao Jinge and Aguero ran forward in the middle to follow up.
David Silva sent a diagonal pass to Alves when the ball came to the attacking danger zone.
Aguero took the initiative to observe the situation behind him during the response, stopped the ball and sent a return pass after adjustment.
The moment Zhao Jinge took the ball, he turned around and retreated directly, causing Roberto, who was returning to the defense, to miss the air, then changed his direction and cut the ball across the middle, grabbed the ball before Busquets, and sent the ball to the left in front of the Barcelona penalty area.
Yaya Toure hits the ball in the inward cut and picks a pass.
The football flew to the right rib area of the penalty area, and Aguero went forward and scored with a header!
Mascherano is slow to block.
As a result, the football hit the goal side netting at a slightly worse angle.
Manchester City's frontcourt offensive players quickly returned to defense.
The fanatical cheers of the home fans are in line with the current situation on the field.
Manchester City is not cowardly at all!
Go fast and fight fast.
The frontcourt does not like to fight.
The backcourt is not chaotic.
Like a noble knight with gorgeous feathers on his back and holding a lance, he perfectly blends elegant skills with iron-blooded and majestic temperament on the court.
The point of the gun is like a broken bamboo!
In the No.15 minute of the game, Neymar dribbled in from the left, and this time he planned to go outside.
Kyle Walker blocked the outside line, and Mahrez quickly returned to block his inside line.
Neymar's ball possession space was compressed less and less, so he pulled the ball and turned around trying to find a teammate in the middle or behind him.
But as soon as he turned around, he was knocked over by Zhao Jinge head-on. Zhao Jinge was whistled for a foul by the referee when he was dribbling forward with the ball.
He picked up the football and smiled wryly.
It was originally intended to forcefully steal the ball from behind Neymar, but the opponent turned around.
In the sudden braking, he was indeed going towards the ball, but in the collision, he was indeed suspected of fouling.
After all, too much.
With the football under his left arm, he walked over and patted Neymar, who rolled on the ground and covered his face.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Zhao Jinge had a good attitude, but Neymar opened his hands and slapped his hands off vigorously.
He asked with a fierce look on his face, "You fucking did it on purpose!"
Zhao Jinge said helplessly: "Well, I admit that I lied to you just now, even if the referee called me a foul, I would still hit you like that, but this is too normal on the court, isn't it?
Don't be so fussy, if you hit me, I will definitely not care.
get up, will you? "
In the end, Neymar still did not accept Zhao Jinge's hand of friendship.
The referee did not show Zhao Jinge a yellow card, but gave him a verbal warning.
Zhao Jinge threw the football away, and Manchester City's defensive formation was already in place.
Barcelona, come on.
After a week of recuperation, Zhao Jinge is definitely the player with the best physical condition on the field.
And he also made full use of this advantage, the backcourt defense can also follow the defense in place, push the offense without neglect, and go in to grab points without hesitation.
Compared with Barcelona, which is good at team control, he is more like a master of the midfield at the Etihad Stadium today.
There is only one Kanter. If Messi is entangled, there is no way to defend Neymar. Yaya Toure still has to watch Iniesta.
So today's Zhao Jinge must also assume a certain amount of defensive responsibility. Neymar, the fast and gorgeous Brazilian king, is his goal.
Harass Busquets in the frontcourt, keep an eye on Neymar when returning to defense, and leave Professor Bu to Aguero.
Manchester City's man-to-man defense seemed impeccable, and when Barcelona's two central defenders were under tremendous pressure and could not press forward,
Relying on sufficient physical fitness after a week of rest, Manchester City can establish a numerical advantage on both ends of the offense and defense, and calmly control the situation on the court.
At the same time, because Manchester City's offensive focus today is in the middle, and has always advocated a holistic style of play,
Therefore, after Zhao Jinge shrinks the defense with the team, it does not prevent him from following a wave of offense to complete the goal.
In most of the tough battles, Zhao Jinge is the sharpest spearhead in the city's attack!
When Manchester City's midfielder has established an advantage, their defense will also press forward appropriately to contain the individual threats of Messi and Neymar.
In the 201st minute of the game, when Messi hit a pass between Clichy, Kanter and David Silva to find the center to follow up with Iniesta, Yaya Toure fought against the interference and forced Lao Bai quickly played the ball.
As a result, the football he passed to the Manchester City penalty area was directly cut off by Kompany.
Manchester City turned around and played fast break.
David Silva responded from the left and knocked the ball back obliquely after encountering Alves blocking the way.
After Zhao Jinge came to meet him, Neymar rushed to shovel, not at him, but at the football.
The King of Brazil is a little annoyed, but it doesn't mean he is a powder keg.
A star who can be targeted by opponents repeatedly on the court for a long time and still stand at his current height is definitely not a reckless man who makes mistakes when his brain is hot.
Zhao Jinge pulled the ball in front of him, turned around and changed the direction of the ball to complete the dodge.
Marseille roundabout!
A light feint avoids Neymar's shovel.
When Zhao Jinge turned around and moved the ball forward, Roberto also rushed to his side. Zhao Jinge dribbled slowly and then suddenly accelerated to hit the opponent with a rhythm difference and broke through from the outside.
This trick is learned from Messi.
Even though he has the blessings of many top superstars, his ball protection, dribbling, rhythm and other skills have been greatly improved.
But Zhao Jinge himself will still observe and learn some simple skills from his opponents, which he can apply.
After he passed Roberto, Alba and Busquets rushed to control his space.
Zhao Jinge threw the ball forward at this time.
David Silva has already advanced in the space and can respond in place.
When he quickly dribbled towards the penalty area, Mascherano and Pique quickly adjusted their positions.
Aguero slanted into the right side of the penalty area and David Silva passed the ball.
Aguero is also very excited today. There are not many opportunities to compete with his best friend Messi. It would be even better if he can win!
The ball is under the feet, one stroke and one shot, all in one go.
The football flew straight into the near corner of the goal, and goalkeeper ter Stegen made a flying save and saved the ball wonderfully from the bottom line.
Aguero turned around and gave David Silva and Zhao Jinge a thumbs-up, and then patted his leg. Such a smooth set of operations, why didn't he score a goal?
It's so strange, so strange!Oh, it's hard to stretch!
Manchester City corner kick attack.
With the score advantage in hand, set-piece offense is their strong point, so there is no reason to hesitate at this time.
In terms of momentum, they have suppressed Barcelona, and they have basically completed restraint tactically.
What else to do?
Go for a goal!
David Silva's corner was cleared with a header from Busquets just before the penalty area.
Zhao Jinge quickly ran towards the outside of the penalty area. Neymar had just stopped the ball and started to dribble forward. Zhao Jinge killed from behind him and poked the ball away first.
This time there was no foul, it was completely state suppression!
Run forward after completing the defensive U-turn.
Before Barcelona's defense could react, Yaya Toure's overhead pass flew into the right rib of Barcelona's penalty area.
Zhao Jinge has a bold idea to face the falling football!
Take off, volley and shoot!
The posture has been set, and the last shot is not accurate.
The left foot kicked the ball in the air, and the football spun and flew into the sky.
Ter Stegen took off in front of the goal, and the ball landed just on the top of the net against the back of the crossbar.
call.
The audience exclaimed.
Zhao Jinge stood up and stuck out his tongue with a smile.
This kind of non-mainstream shooting is definitely not an item in training, it is completely improvised.
I feel it, the posture is right, but the strength of the shot is not enough, man!This excitement will always kick some happy operations.
Yaya Toure also gave Yaya Toure a backhand compliment, and even Aguero shot one. It's not too much for me, the team's top scorer, to kick a few stinky balls!
The Blue Moon fans at the Etihad Stadium did not hesitate to applaud their number one striker.
Even though Zhao Jinge's shot was obviously flawed, his state was both excited and relaxed as far as the naked eye could see.
Relaxed is not the same as relaxed.
His activity on the court made every audience unable to take their eyes off him.
And his performance is very contagious.
The pressure is mounting on Barcelona.
Game No. 209 minutes, when Aguero suddenly gave up Roberto and rushed towards Pique, Pique was in a hurry again.
He crosses the ball wide to Alves.
Alves ran forward, but Pique passed the ball to his feet.
Alves made an emergency stop and went back to respond, but saw Yaya Toure rushing forward faster to complete the steal.
Manchester City steals the ball in the frontcourt!
Fast attack on the spot!
Zhao Jinge couldn't care less about marking Busquets at this time.
He ran forward.
Mascherano and Pique teamed up to snipe Yaya Toure who dribbled inside, but in the [-] yards area in front of the goal, Yaya Toure took the lead and knocked the ball across the middle.
When Aguero stopped the ball to respond, Mascherano went up and Aguero dunked and passed, and his movements were as simple as a textbook.
The football rolled to the rear of Mascherano. When the latter turned around, he saw Zhao Jinge rushing into Barcelona's penalty area like a gust of wind!
Ter Stegen abandoned the goal and Zhao Jinge took the lead and shot the ball with his right foot to the far corner of the goal!
Ter Stegen subconsciously raised his hand to block and didn't touch anything!
Under the eyes of the crowd, the football crossed a pleasing parabola and fell into the far corner of the goal!
Zhao Jinge kept on walking, accelerated around the sidelines and slid and knelt passionately for a long distance.
As he slid and knelt facing the stands with open hands, the fans in the stands responded fiercely. The moment he stopped slid and knelt and fully opened his hands to embrace, there was an earth-shattering roar at the Etihad Stadium. !
boom!The cheers of mountains and tsunami filled the entire stadium, and a small number of Barcelona fans who came to the scene with the team covered their ears in pain, watching all this in the stadium with unbelievable eyes!
"Zhao Jinge scored with a volley! Manchester City broke the deadlock!
Today's Manchester City is completely running, confronting, and crushing Barcelona in terms of speed!
From the beginning, Barcelona felt as if they were preoccupied, and their legs were filled with lead!
Today's Manchester City showed a very high fighting spirit. They actively adopted a pressing defense and put pressure on the opponent from the starting point of Barcelona's attack!
Their efforts paid off. Pique made a pass error, Yaya Toure formed a fast break after stealing the ball, Aguero overshot, and Zhao Jinge scored a single-handed goal!
Manchester City only took six to seven seconds from stealing the ball to scoring!
Be quick, accurate and ruthless!
The total score became Manchester City's [-]-[-] lead over Barcelona.
Now that Barcelona want to advance, they must score more than three goals, and they must have at least three goals to have a chance to drag the game into overtime. "
Luis Enrique was at a loss. Once the suppression of the state on the court became a team as a whole, basically it could not be reversed by a star's super performance.
It's not that Barcelona's superstars are not enough or strong enough, it's just that they can't rely on their individual strength to defeat the huge advantages brought by Manchester City as a whole.
Guardiola finally laughed happily at his home court, and finally waited for the moment when he could express his emotions wantonly.
Guardiola, who couldn't help but smile, was facing the direction where Zhao Jinge enjoyed the fans' cheers during his celebration.
Even if he didn't win the last round of the league, he was overjoyed by the results Xuezang Zhao Jinge got after a week.
Barcelona has come to the brink of collapse.
At this moment, the stars need to stand up.
But Manchester City said to them with a tough performance: Go back!
This is not a place for you to run wild!
This is Ittihad, the city of miracles where the blue moon never falls!
(End of this chapter)
"Manchester City's starting lineup today is [-]. Guardiola unexpectedly changed the formation. The top double center forward configuration can concentrate the strongest firepower on Barcelona's central defender!

As a result, the football hit the goal side netting at a slightly worse angle.
Manchester City's frontcourt offensive players quickly returned to defense.
The fanatical cheers of the home fans are in line with the current situation on the field.
Manchester City is not cowardly at all!
Go fast and fight fast.
The frontcourt does not like to fight.
The backcourt is not chaotic.
Like a noble knight with gorgeous feathers on his back and holding a lance, he perfectly blends elegant skills with iron-blooded and majestic temperament on the court.
The point of the gun is like a broken bamboo!
In the No.15 minute of the game, Neymar dribbled in from the left, and this time he planned to go outside.
Kyle Walker blocked the outside line, and Mahrez quickly returned to block his inside line.
Neymar's ball possession space was compressed less and less, so he pulled the ball and turned around trying to find a teammate in the middle or behind him.
But as soon as he turned around, he was knocked over by Zhao Jinge head-on. Zhao Jinge was whistled for a foul by the referee when he was dribbling forward with the ball.
He picked up the football and smiled wryly.
It was originally intended to forcefully steal the ball from behind Neymar, but the opponent turned around.
In the sudden braking, he was indeed going towards the ball, but in the collision, he was indeed suspected of fouling.
After all, too much.
With the football under his left arm, he walked over and patted Neymar, who rolled on the ground and covered his face.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Zhao Jinge had a good attitude, but Neymar opened his hands and slapped his hands off vigorously.
He asked with a fierce look on his face, "You fucking did it on purpose!"
Zhao Jinge said helplessly: "Well, I admit that I lied to you just now, even if the referee called me a foul, I would still hit you like that, but this is too normal on the court, isn't it?
Don't be so fussy, if you hit me, I will definitely not care.
get up, will you? "
In the end, Neymar still did not accept Zhao Jinge's hand of friendship.
The referee did not show Zhao Jinge a yellow card, but gave him a verbal warning.
Zhao Jinge threw the football away, and Manchester City's defensive formation was already in place.
Barcelona, come on.
After a week of recuperation, Zhao Jinge is definitely the player with the best physical condition on the field.
And he also made full use of this advantage, the backcourt defense can also follow the defense in place, push the offense without neglect, and go in to grab points without hesitation.
Compared with Barcelona, which is good at team control, he is more like a master of the midfield at the Etihad Stadium today.
There is only one Kanter. If Messi is entangled, there is no way to defend Neymar. Yaya Toure still has to watch Iniesta.
So today's Zhao Jinge must also assume a certain amount of defensive responsibility. Neymar, the fast and gorgeous Brazilian king, is his goal.
Harass Busquets in the frontcourt, keep an eye on Neymar when returning to defense, and leave Professor Bu to Aguero.
Manchester City's man-to-man defense seemed impeccable, and when Barcelona's two central defenders were under tremendous pressure and could not press forward,
Relying on sufficient physical fitness after a week of rest, Manchester City can establish a numerical advantage on both ends of the offense and defense, and calmly control the situation on the court.
At the same time, because Manchester City's offensive focus today is in the middle, and has always advocated a holistic style of play,
Therefore, after Zhao Jinge shrinks the defense with the team, it does not prevent him from following a wave of offense to complete the goal.
In most of the tough battles, Zhao Jinge is the sharpest spearhead in the city's attack!
When Manchester City's midfielder has established an advantage, their defense will also press forward appropriately to contain the individual threats of Messi and Neymar.
In the 201st minute of the game, when Messi hit a pass between Clichy, Kanter and David Silva to find the center to follow up with Iniesta, Yaya Toure fought against the interference and forced Lao Bai quickly played the ball.
As a result, the football he passed to the Manchester City penalty area was directly cut off by Kompany.
Manchester City turned around and played fast break.
David Silva responded from the left and knocked the ball back obliquely after encountering Alves blocking the way.
After Zhao Jinge came to meet him, Neymar rushed to shovel, not at him, but at the football.
The King of Brazil is a little annoyed, but it doesn't mean he is a powder keg.
A star who can be targeted by opponents repeatedly on the court for a long time and still stand at his current height is definitely not a reckless man who makes mistakes when his brain is hot.
Zhao Jinge pulled the ball in front of him, turned around and changed the direction of the ball to complete the dodge.
Marseille roundabout!
A light feint avoids Neymar's shovel.
When Zhao Jinge turned around and moved the ball forward, Roberto also rushed to his side. Zhao Jinge dribbled slowly and then suddenly accelerated to hit the opponent with a rhythm difference and broke through from the outside.
This trick is learned from Messi.
Even though he has the blessings of many top superstars, his ball protection, dribbling, rhythm and other skills have been greatly improved.
But Zhao Jinge himself will still observe and learn some simple skills from his opponents, which he can apply.
After he passed Roberto, Alba and Busquets rushed to control his space.
Zhao Jinge threw the ball forward at this time.
David Silva has already advanced in the space and can respond in place.
When he quickly dribbled towards the penalty area, Mascherano and Pique quickly adjusted their positions.
Aguero slanted into the right side of the penalty area and David Silva passed the ball.
Aguero is also very excited today. There are not many opportunities to compete with his best friend Messi. It would be even better if he can win!
The ball is under the feet, one stroke and one shot, all in one go.
The football flew straight into the near corner of the goal, and goalkeeper ter Stegen made a flying save and saved the ball wonderfully from the bottom line.
Aguero turned around and gave David Silva and Zhao Jinge a thumbs-up, and then patted his leg. Such a smooth set of operations, why didn't he score a goal?
It's so strange, so strange!Oh, it's hard to stretch!
Manchester City corner kick attack.
With the score advantage in hand, set-piece offense is their strong point, so there is no reason to hesitate at this time.
In terms of momentum, they have suppressed Barcelona, and they have basically completed restraint tactically.
What else to do?
Go for a goal!
David Silva's corner was cleared with a header from Busquets just before the penalty area.
Zhao Jinge quickly ran towards the outside of the penalty area. Neymar had just stopped the ball and started to dribble forward. Zhao Jinge killed from behind him and poked the ball away first.
This time there was no foul, it was completely state suppression!
Run forward after completing the defensive U-turn.
Before Barcelona's defense could react, Yaya Toure's overhead pass flew into the right rib of Barcelona's penalty area.
Zhao Jinge has a bold idea to face the falling football!
Take off, volley and shoot!
The posture has been set, and the last shot is not accurate.
The left foot kicked the ball in the air, and the football spun and flew into the sky.
Ter Stegen took off in front of the goal, and the ball landed just on the top of the net against the back of the crossbar.
call.
The audience exclaimed.
Zhao Jinge stood up and stuck out his tongue with a smile.
This kind of non-mainstream shooting is definitely not an item in training, it is completely improvised.
I feel it, the posture is right, but the strength of the shot is not enough, man!This excitement will always kick some happy operations.
Yaya Toure also gave Yaya Toure a backhand compliment, and even Aguero shot one. It's not too much for me, the team's top scorer, to kick a few stinky balls!
The Blue Moon fans at the Etihad Stadium did not hesitate to applaud their number one striker.
Even though Zhao Jinge's shot was obviously flawed, his state was both excited and relaxed as far as the naked eye could see.
Relaxed is not the same as relaxed.
His activity on the court made every audience unable to take their eyes off him.
And his performance is very contagious.
The pressure is mounting on Barcelona.
Game No. 209 minutes, when Aguero suddenly gave up Roberto and rushed towards Pique, Pique was in a hurry again.
He crosses the ball wide to Alves.
Alves ran forward, but Pique passed the ball to his feet.
Alves made an emergency stop and went back to respond, but saw Yaya Toure rushing forward faster to complete the steal.
Manchester City steals the ball in the frontcourt!
Fast attack on the spot!
Zhao Jinge couldn't care less about marking Busquets at this time.
He ran forward.
Mascherano and Pique teamed up to snipe Yaya Toure who dribbled inside, but in the [-] yards area in front of the goal, Yaya Toure took the lead and knocked the ball across the middle.
When Aguero stopped the ball to respond, Mascherano went up and Aguero dunked and passed, and his movements were as simple as a textbook.
The football rolled to the rear of Mascherano. When the latter turned around, he saw Zhao Jinge rushing into Barcelona's penalty area like a gust of wind!
Ter Stegen abandoned the goal and Zhao Jinge took the lead and shot the ball with his right foot to the far corner of the goal!
Ter Stegen subconsciously raised his hand to block and didn't touch anything!
Under the eyes of the crowd, the football crossed a pleasing parabola and fell into the far corner of the goal!
Zhao Jinge kept on walking, accelerated around the sidelines and slid and knelt passionately for a long distance.
As he slid and knelt facing the stands with open hands, the fans in the stands responded fiercely. The moment he stopped slid and knelt and fully opened his hands to embrace, there was an earth-shattering roar at the Etihad Stadium. !
boom!The cheers of mountains and tsunami filled the entire stadium, and a small number of Barcelona fans who came to the scene with the team covered their ears in pain, watching all this in the stadium with unbelievable eyes!
"Zhao Jinge scored with a volley! Manchester City broke the deadlock!
Today's Manchester City is completely running, confronting, and crushing Barcelona in terms of speed!
From the beginning, Barcelona felt as if they were preoccupied, and their legs were filled with lead!
Today's Manchester City showed a very high fighting spirit. They actively adopted a pressing defense and put pressure on the opponent from the starting point of Barcelona's attack!
Their efforts paid off. Pique made a pass error, Yaya Toure formed a fast break after stealing the ball, Aguero overshot, and Zhao Jinge scored a single-handed goal!
Manchester City only took six to seven seconds from stealing the ball to scoring!
Be quick, accurate and ruthless!
The total score became Manchester City's [-]-[-] lead over Barcelona.
Now that Barcelona want to advance, they must score more than three goals, and they must have at least three goals to have a chance to drag the game into overtime. "
Luis Enrique was at a loss. Once the suppression of the state on the court became a team as a whole, basically it could not be reversed by a star's super performance.
It's not that Barcelona's superstars are not enough or strong enough, it's just that they can't rely on their individual strength to defeat the huge advantages brought by Manchester City as a whole.
Guardiola finally laughed happily at his home court, and finally waited for the moment when he could express his emotions wantonly.
Guardiola, who couldn't help but smile, was facing the direction where Zhao Jinge enjoyed the fans' cheers during his celebration.
Even if he didn't win the last round of the league, he was overjoyed by the results Xuezang Zhao Jinge got after a week.
Barcelona has come to the brink of collapse.
At this moment, the stars need to stand up.
But Manchester City said to them with a tough performance: Go back!
This is not a place for you to run wild!
This is Ittihad, the city of miracles where the blue moon never falls!
