Football: From Bundesliga debut

The second half of the game officially started.

Although it was Manchester City's offensive round on the field, Barcelona's pressing made Manchester City's players start to pass quickly.

With the quick passing of the players, Manchester City's attackers quickly overwhelmed the half.

The next step is the real difficulty, how to break the door!
cross?

Except for Zheng Lin, the other players in Manchester City's frontcourt do not have any advantage in competing for crosses. The best thing is to grab points and score goals!

And grabbing points is Aguero's advantage, so in this respect, he must give full play to his strengths, and secondly, the full-backs on both sides can pass the ball, and it may be that Navas will be a little worse!
So the best choice is to let Zheng Lin execute the cross, of course this is only an option.

For David Silva, although Barcelona's midfield defense is not an iron barrel, Mascherano's defense is very good, which is why he was finally withdrawn to the central defender position by Barcelona One of the reasons for going up.

Facing Mascherano's defense, he always pays attention to the other two, Rakitic and Iniesta.

As Iniesta's national team teammate, he is well aware of this guy's strength, an attacking midfielder with good organizational skills, his reputation is not directly proportional to his strength.

A pull ball followed by a fancy move, David Silva made a breakthrough directly from the side of Pony. Although there was still confrontation, David Silva could pass the ball directly to the trident in the frontcourt to complete the goal of.

Barcelona's entire defense line is very aware of this situation, and the full-backs directly bite the full-backs on both sides.

As for Alves who is under pressure, his defensive object is not so easy to deal with.

Manchester City's No. 13 is tall, has excellent confrontation, can pass the ball, and can shoot. This is tantamount to making his defensive choices a little difficult.

For a player like this, it's really hard for the defense to make the best choice, because you never know what he will choose next.

As one of Zheng Lin's most familiar partners, David Silva naturally knew it, so he directly picked the pass.

A high ball goes straight over Pique.

Aware of David's thoughts, Zheng Lin's explosive power was also displayed at this moment.

For Zheng Lin who suddenly exploded, Alves' first reaction was to grab him. When he grabbed Zheng Lin's jersey, he realized that he couldn't stop him.

Instead, he was directly brought down by Zheng Lin.

But then Zheng Lin faced Pique, who was defending, and he failed to complete the goal. The football hit Pique's leg and was directly confiscated by Ter Stegen.

In the first attack in the second half, Manchester City finally returned without success, and then they faced Barcelona's endless suppression of the attack.

Manchester City is naturally not as good as Barcelona in terms of midfield control. Coupled with Barcelona's tactics, they have always been in their most familiar rhythm.

This is one of the reasons why some of the players Barcelona bought couldn't adapt.

The biggest problem for Barcelona at present is who can take over his position as Xiaobai gets old.

Among Barcelona's Habubai three, Harvey has retreated to the second line, and Iniesta is getting older, so Barcelona has already begun to consider finding a successor for him.

Through the control of Iniesta's midfield, Manchester City is currently shrinking the defense line and laying iron barrels in their own half as much as possible.

Facing Barcelona, ​​Mourinho also gave a demonstration. He temporarily ended the mighty Barcelona dynasty back then.

However, there is a huge gap between the current Manchester City and the original Nerazzurri. This can only be reflected from the defense line, but for Manchester City, many things need to be worked hard.

Not to mention that the current Barcelona is not the Barcelona of the year, so only hard work can live up to those expectations!

In the 52nd minute of the game, Messi received a pass from Rakitic. He adjusted slightly and wanted to get rid of Zheng Lin directly with a fried ball, but in the ensuing confrontation, he was toughly given by Zheng Lin. Knocked down" to the ground.

But Messi knocked the ball across to Suarez with the last kick.

After receiving the ball, Suarez dunks Demichelis and shoots directly.

Unexpectedly, Joe Hart went down to earth and rejected this shot.

In the 55th minute of the game, Barcelona made a comeback, this time with an attack from Neymar on the left, and the front trident MSN reunited.

Messi, who turned from the left to the right, caught the ball and pulled it across the middle to shoot directly into the far corner, but was finally blocked by Joe Hart.

The ball failed to stay away from the penalty area, which gave Barcelona a chance to make a supplementary shot.

Suarez, who followed up with a follow-up shot, hit the ball directly. This result made him hold his head in his hands and was very annoyed.

But if it wasn't for flying, then Joe Hart, who stood up, would still give him the bottom line.

In the 61st minute of the game, Manchester City's forward pass was directly intercepted by Mascherano, and Barcelona launched a counterattack on the spot.

But he was stopped by a tackle by David Silva, but because of the dangerous action, he finally got the first topaz card of the game!
Although he was carrying a yellow card, he at least prevented Barcelona from attacking.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

In the next 3 minutes, Barcelona launched an offensive again, this time initiated by a through ball from Iniesta.

This through kick directly tore through Manchester City's defense, allowing Suarez to face the goalkeeper directly, but there was no problem with his choice to hit the goal, but the angle he chose was too straight and was once again directly confiscated by Joe Hart.

In less than 10 minutes, Barcelona had completed several attacks, but they were all blocked by Joe Hart.

With Joe Hart's blocking, Manchester City's morale is also slowly improving. After all, the feeling of being pressed and beaten is not good, which can easily damage the players' self-confidence.

And Barcelona also wondered whether their shooting skills were so bad for the saves shown by Joe Hart. Some goals that seemed to be scored were finally blocked by him!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Manchester City finally ushered in one of the few opportunities. This time, the main attack point was still on Zheng Lin's side, and it was Zheng Lin who Pellegrini attached great importance to on the court.

As for why he was chosen as the left midfielder in this game, it is because in terms of physical condition, the current Zheng Lin is enough to threaten Barcelona's goal. Only the closer he is to the goal, the better the chance of scoring occur!
Facing Alves' defense, Zheng Lin didn't take it lightly, because he knew that although this guy was known for his offense, who could say that this guy's defense was poor?

If it is bad, then it is impossible for him to secure Barcelona's starting right back.

So when you are facing this guy, and it is about the life and death of your own players, you must be more careful.

While advancing in small steps, Zheng Lin also noticed the position of his teammates on the right.

I know very well that besides being able to make an inverted triangle cross from the bottom, I don't have many options. As for the cross to compete for the header, then you are definitely joking, let a 1.7-meter guy in the two It's crazy to be tall and tall!
According to Zheng Lin's own prediction, he thinks that he has reached the position where he can pass the ball, because Alves has been blocked on the right side of Zheng Lin. Step forward to stop at the first time.

But he had guessed that he would pass the ball, but he didn't expect that Zheng Lin would be so courageous, and directly slashed to the ground with a strong arc.

The football draws an arc on the grass, and its destination is directed at Aguero and others in the penalty area.

"Beautiful pass, is this looking for Aguero? This can give him a chance to grab points in the penalty area!"

"Got it, hit the door!!!"

"Mathieu is crazy, right?! Pull people here directly!"

When Aguero was about to exert his strength, he felt pushed away by a force behind him, which also caused him to roll twice on the ground.

At this time, Mathieu directly cleared the bottom line.

But the referee was not so easy to talk to, he directly served with a yellow card, and at the same time pointed to the penalty spot.

"Jeremy Mathieu is going to push Barcelona into the abyss!"

"In the 74th minute of the game, Mathieu's reckless behavior gave Manchester City a yellow dot package. For this precious penalty, as long as they score, they will have the confidence to challenge Barcelona! Otherwise , this one can only come again next year!"

Regarding Mathieu's choice, everyone has everyone's opinion. If Mathieu did not foul, then according to Aguero's previous performance, he would be able to score without accident.

Pay attention here, if there are no accidents, what if there is a problem?

As a player, he is naturally very aware of the 12-yard line. There is a place to go to the light, but it is also a place to fall into the abyss.

No one can say that he can retreat from the twelve-yard line, even the king of the ball dare not say so.

For this penalty, Aguero wanted to take the penalty, but Zheng Lin snatched it first.

After all, Xiao Shisan just reminded him not to give up the ball to Aguero, he might miss it!

At this time, Zheng Lin chose the act of grabbing a penalty kick, which also made Aguero stunned for a moment, and his face also changed. In the end, he stood aside without speaking. A penalty.

And this also made the commentators confused. Could it be that there was a contradiction?It shouldn't be!
For the reporters who eat melons, since there is a competition for penalty kicks, will there be bigger problems in the future?
This also made many reporters excited.

If such a piece of news can be found at that time, then it depends on whether it can make the headlines tomorrow!

Standing on twelve yards, Zheng Lin stared at Ter Stegen. He stood there breathing heavily, and the scene became silent. This was also a test for Barcelona.

As long as they fall down, then Barcelona will advance without any suspense in the end. If not, then Barcelona will go all out to attack!
"drop!"

Zheng Lin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze became extraordinarily firm.

"Run up, hit the goal! The ball is in!!!"

"Ah!!! At their most difficult time for Manchester City, Zheng Lin took the lead again with a penalty kick scored by Zheng Lin. The next step is to look at Barcelona!"

Manchester City took a temporary lead 2-1 in the away game. For Barcelona, ​​it has reached the most dangerous time. They have 15 minutes left, and counting the extra injury time, they still have about 8 minutes.

The next 8 minutes are crucial for Manchester City, and whether they can advance to the next round depends on these 8 minutes!
The game restarts.

After Barcelona kicked off, they seemed a little anxious, because there was really not much time left.

Especially in the previous consecutive attacks, they were all blocked by Joe Hart, which already had an invisible psychological pressure on them.

In the 79th minute of the game, Messi on the right took the lead to control the ball for Barcelona. Facing Zheng Lin's defense, he made a fake shot and made a true pass, which almost made Zheng Lin fall down.

And the object of his pass was Suarez. At this moment, Manchester City's central defender paid special attention to this top striker.

But for him to split the sides again, this choice was a bit unprepared.

Even Sagna, who was defending Neymar, didn't notice that when he was about to go up to defend, Neymar shot.

This time he chose a long kick, but failed to score.

In the next few minutes, Manchester City failed to get a chance to attack, and they were firmly suppressed by Barcelona and "beaten" in their own half!
Such a situation is a huge test for Manchester City's precarious defense.

Sure enough, the most dangerous moment has come!
In the 89th minute of the game, Messi received a pass from Rakitic. Zheng Lin was responsible for staring at Messi, one of the peerless twins, but Zheng Lin was unusually sober. It is impossible to defend Messi.

Zheng Lin was delayed by his teammate Kolarov after a wall-hitting match he made with Alves, and it was also at this time that Messi made a direct cross with a curved ball.

Suarez headed in ahead of Kompany and created a chance for Iniesta behind him.

For this fleeting opportunity, Iniesta seized it.

He shoots with one foot.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Andres Iniesta is the savior of Barcelona again! In the last moment of the game, he received a header from his teammate Suarez and equalized the score for Barcelona. Now the most critical moment has come. It's going to be the whole overtime game!"

"I would rather see a penalty shootout! That would be more exciting!"

"I agree with this!"

In less than 3 minutes at the end of the game, Manchester City was directly tied by Iniesta. This was a big blow to Manchester City. I thought the joy of victory was coming, but it was unexpected. The expected Jue Ping came so uncomfortable!
3 minutes passed in a flash.

City were unable to make any meaningful advances.

For them, this is undoubtedly a tragic physical battle.

Three 10-minute overtime is about to begin, and this time Barcelona is still the first to attack.

In regular time, Manchester City is already familiar with this kind of oppression, but the test of this overtime game is the last breath of hard work!
In regular time, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace, and it was even more brutal overtime.

In the next 15 minutes, the two sides attacked each other, but they failed to score.

Joe Hart still continued his top performance. Although he was scored twice, without him, I am afraid that Manchester City would have lost more than two goals!
In the end of extra time, neither side was able to score a goal.

The most thrilling penalty shootout is here!
Barcelona took the lead in taking the penalty, and the top five were: Suarez, Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, Rakitic;
Manchester City: Aguero, David Silva, Moussa Sissoko, Kompany, Zheng Lin.

Without any surprises, Suarez chose the dead corner on the upper right, and the Barcelona took the lead in scoring the first penalty.

But Aguero failed to hit the penalty. He chose a half-high ball, which is the goalkeeper's favorite position.

1-0, Barcelona lead.

It wasn't until Messi's play that there was an accident in the scene.

Facing Joe Hart, a rare hesitation flashed in Messi's eyes. After this game, he didn't quite remember how many shots he had been rejected by the England goalkeeper. Will it be this time? Too!

"This goal was taken by Messi, no accident"

Before the words were finished, the commentator was stuck in the next words. They didn't expect that Messi would be kicked away!

Moussa Sissoko did not pass up the opportunity.

After three rounds of penalty kicks, both sides were 2-2, and the exciting time came!
In the fourth round, there were no surprises.

Still no shots were missed in the fifth round.

The score was 4-4, which resulted in another round of penalty kicks.

In the sixth round, there are goals
Until the No. 12 round, this is what no one expected, the penalty shootout can be so exciting.

After eleven rounds of penalty kicks, the two sides ended up 10-10, and even the goalkeeper ensured that no goals were conceded.

Until Zheng Lin played again, the previous penalty kicks were not served. At this time, the score has reached 14-13, and the success or failure depends on it.

On the 12-yard line, this may be Manchester City's last shot, which puts a lot of pressure on Zheng Lin.

He took a deep breath, ran up, paused before shooting, and then shot again, this time the angle was a half-high ball!

"Ter Stegen! The hero of Barcelona's final victory! Zheng Lin's last penalty, which made Ter Stegen guess the right direction, also blocked him from the door!"

"Barcelona finally advanced 14-13 in the penalty shootout, and Manchester City could only leave the field with regret. After a normal game, it is not easy for Manchester City. Someone stood up and carried the players forward, although they failed to win the final penalty shootout, they still brought us an unforgettable pizza!"

Zheng Lin, who lost a penalty kick, stared blankly at the Barcelona players celebrating on the field. He closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state to make himself look less depressed.

Kompany didn't care about the missed penalty. After all, Zheng Lin also took the lead penalty. It wasn't very good for him to steal the penalty, but the final result was still the same. Very good, there is no need to accuse anything, it is more hoped that he can get out of the mental state of losing a penalty kick at the end.

Several other veterans also comforted several teammates with tears in their eyes. For them, they have experienced too many things. This is just a game. After crying, they still need to continue to look forward!
"For the players of Manchester City, they can leave the game with high spirits. They were not optimistic about Barcelona at the beginning, and they finally fought with their opponents in a penalty shootout. This is an improvement for them. They should leave proudly!"
