Soccer Super Marksman

Cui Zhen stood at the exit of the player tunnel, behind captain Lukaku. He held the ball boy and kept his eyes on. Beside him, the Barcelona generals were also ready to go.

A true peak duel.

There is nothing to say about Manchester United's lineup. Those who can play are the strongest lineups evaluated on paper.

On the Barcelona side, in order to curb Manchester United's central attack, coach Valverde replaced Vidal with the defensive panacea Roberto to strengthen the central defense.

The atmosphere of cheering in the stands is equal.

Standing on the court, Cui Zhen couldn't calm down, and his excitement was constantly increasing.

He looks at Barcelona's half, scrutinizing the opponent.

In fact, many Barcelona stars are well-known, but they are overshadowed by Messi's halo.Just like many fans only see Messi in their eyes, and other stars have become green leaves around Messi. Isn't the Uruguayan genius Suarez not famous?
Could it be that Paulinho and Alba are unknown people?
Suarez would be a star to be reckoned with in any other team.But it happened to be in Barcelona. During this period, Messi's light was so dazzling that it was difficult for the stars to compete with him.

The game started.

Forward Suarez kicked the ball to Messi, and Barcelona quickly launched an offensive.

Messi passed the ball back to midfielder Rakitic behind him, and then ran towards the left side of the front field. Rakitic delivered the ball accurately to Messi's feet before encountering Lukaku's pressing. .

Messi stopped the ball and dribbled forward. In front of him, the person who moved to the front to defend was Cui Zhen!

Messi made a gesture to break through from Cui Zhen's left side, but suddenly swung the ball horizontally in front of him to the right. Cui Zhen didn't hesitate, and moved decisively to the other side of his body.

After Messi's right foot flicked the ball, he quickly knocked the ball away from the left side of Cui Zhen's body!Immediately afterwards, he speeded up and passed by Cui Zhen!

quick!Smart!Incredible change of direction!
Cui Zhen didn't change his focus to chase Messi when he was broken through, but instead turned around and ran towards the penalty area.

To chase Messi?It was impossible to catch up.

Cui Zhen wants to run straight to the penalty area for other defenses!
The battle of the pinnacle officially begins!
Messi broke through Cui Zhen at the beginning of the game, and then came to Smalling's defense area along the left corridor. At this time, he wanted to advance to the middle, but saw Smalling and Lingard forming a defense zone. Cui Zhen, who was lost, also returned to the midfielder in time to increase the number of defenders in the middle.

Mata came from the back, Messi did not choose to forcibly move to the middle, Manchester United's defensive position is already very tight.He glanced at the penalty area, and then sent a high-quality cross from the spot.

Bailey didn't let Paco, who cut inside the penalty area, get a chance from the back of the penalty area, and made a successful header clearance.

The football fell to Herrera's feet, and he directly passed the ball to Cui Zhen beside him.

Suarez chased back two steps behind him, but Cui Zhen was not slow to move forward with the ball. When encountering midfielder Rakitic, he knocked the ball back diagonally, and then ran laterally. Rakitic Seeing Cui Zhen passing the ball, he began to retreat. Unexpectedly, Cui Zhen did not step forward, but ran out of space to receive Lingard's pass.

Cui Zhen, who had already come to the midfield line, controlled the ball to observe the situation. He didn't pass the ball forward to push forward. Suddenly, he passed the ball diagonally to the right.

Mata rushed forward all the way, defender Semedo was ready, but when the football rolled over, Mata missed the ball. Semedo was obviously disturbed by Mata's missed ball. Smalling, who was closer to the wing He strode up and rushed up, and when the football was about to go out of the sideline, he strode the ball directly to the bottom line.

Semedo turned around again at this time, obviously unable to compete with Smalling who had already sprinted, he was directly rushed by Smalling!

The whole Barcelona team was shocked!

Coach Valverde also frowned on the sidelines, while Mourinho observed the situation on the field calmly.

Indeed, Mourinho's on-the-spot command has always been criticized.But he still has a scheming side in many pre-match deployments.

When the whole world knows that Manchester United's offense is instigated from the center.After Cui Zhen and Lingard's offensive has become a sharp method, Barcelona will not expect it?

For most of this season, United's full-backs have not participated in the attack.This is due to the decline in the defensive strength of the midfield due to the shortage of people on the back line.

But in this UEFA Champions League final, Mourinho is still making dangerous moves. Cui Zhen will be a cover for interfering with the opponent in the middle, and it will be the wings that really promote the attack!
Because of this, Barcelona was caught off guard!

Manchester United also played the style that began to form in the Premier League during this period: physical fitness and speed impact!
Smalling rushed past defender Semedo and went directly to the bottom. While turning inside, Barcelona's defense adjustment did not form a tacit understanding.

Because Mata cut the penalty area at the same time!But Mata is still a front!Manchester United's main offense around Cui Zhen and Lukaku is already tacit.

Who will Mata's running threat serve?

That is Lukaku!Manchester United's offensive was blowing from the right like a whirlwind, and the scene was like a hurricane passing through. Only a few players achieved the effect of going straight to the point.

Mata's inward cut formed a defensive interference to defender Alba. Lukaku was a little slower and crossed behind Mascherano and Alba. In the process of his running, Smalling's ball crossed Pass in the restricted area!

Alba turned around immediately, only to see that he retreated to intercept the football, which had become Lukaku's corridor!

Fear swept the whole body!

Lukaku!
The next person is Mascherano, but he is passive to chase Lukaku.When Lukaku stopped the ball and took a step forward, Mascherano was freed!
However, Lukaku's shooting angle at this time is already very small.Lukaku fired a low shot from a small angle in the penalty area, and Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen quickly fell to the ground and saved the ball to the bottom line with his body!

The Manchester United fans in the stands didn't care about regret, and immediately applauded and applauded the team's wonderful fast break.

The impact of the fast-break style that has gradually formed in the Premier League in recent years has had a great impact on the entire European football world. Although the old school of football legends still highly respects the technical flow, the unreasonable style of play in the Premier League seems to be incorporating some technical flow. , causing a simple technique and tactics to set off a huge wave.

This may be the wave of the times for football to move forward.

"In the second minute of the game, Manchester United completed a shot. Lukaku tested Ter Stegen after stopping the ball in the penalty area to get rid of Mascherano. Will this peak match be based on confrontation? United looked unfazed and impressed us with their decisiveness in attacking!"

Three passes and two downs plus a strong speed forward, the essence of fast break that Manchester United has honed this season is to be used in this game!Perhaps they are indeed not as gorgeous as Barcelona, ​​and they place so much emphasis on ball possession and scene shaping, but in terms of offensive decisiveness and aggressiveness, Manchester United has not lost any opponents at all.

Lukaku looked normal after the shot. In such a game, there is no time to express the emotional catharsis of the shot being thrown.He kicked the football into the corner and ran to take the corner himself.Don't give Barcelona any breathing time.

When Barcelona quickly adjusted the defense, Lukaku's corner kick came out, which surprised Barcelona.

Because Lukaku kicked the corner kick back to the midfield direction, a tactical corner kick.

When Barcelona's defensive players turned their eyes to the midfield, they happened to see Cui Zhen running up. Facing the ground ball kicked by Lukaku, Cui Zhen kicked the ball without stopping and sent a through pass!
Lukaku ran back directly after taking the corner kick. He seemed careless, but the moment Cui Zhen touched the ball, he immediately cut inside the penalty area and rushed into the penalty area from Semedo!
Cui Zhen's pass rolled past Roberto and rolled directly into the penalty area, almost following the trajectory of Lukaku's movement. The pass and movement were wonderfully coordinated!

After Barcelona took a tactical corner kick from Lukaku, their defensive nerves relaxed because they had to readjust, but they did not expect Manchester United to suddenly attack directly into their own penalty area.

They reacted quickly, chasing and intercepting Lukaku, who also knew that there was not much time for him to make trouble in Barcelona's penalty area. When Alba retreated, he suddenly dunked the ball back and rubbed it directly with his left foot. Shot inside the far post!

Ter Stegen became the star of Barcelona's opening game. He made a world-class save, fell to the ground again and blocked the ball with his body. The flying ball was directly kicked by midfielder Paulinho. Sideline!

At this moment, Barcelona was in a panic.
