Glory Greenery

Chapter 606
Regarding Klopp's displeasure, Yang Mo quickly ran to the back of his mind.

After arriving in Barcelona, ​​the busy Manchester City players did not have time to visit this famous city, but devoted themselves to the preparation of the game.

Train in the rented venue and go to Camp Nou in advance to familiarize yourself with the competition venue.

Facing the famous and powerful Barcelona, ​​Manchester City dare not be careless.

Compared with the dominant situation in the league and the situation that can be slightly relaxed, in the Champions League, a single carelessness may ruin the entire season.

Barcelona is by no means a soft persimmon that can be easily dealt with.

Messi, like Yang Mo, is a superstar who can change the course of the game alone.

The defending champion of the Champions League, a super showdown against Barcelona, ​​successfully attracted the attention of fans all over the world before the game even started.

More than two hundred TV stations will broadcast the game live.

Penguin Sports, which won the broadcasting rights of the UEFA Champions League in China, even directly sent Huang Jianxiang and Zhang to guide the pair to the scene to explain in person.

From this, it is not difficult to see the outside world's attention to this game.

Whether it is Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​or Yang Mo and Messi, they are all too gimmick.

"Hello, viewers, you are watching the 2013-2014 season broadcast live by Penguin Sports, the first round of the Champions League knockout quarter-finals."

"I'm the commentator Huang Jianxiang. Sitting next to me is director Zhang. The two of us are currently at Camp Nou, Barcelona's home stadium."

"I believe that I don't need to introduce it. Fans who follow the Champions League know that this game is the focus of Barcelona against the defending champion Manchester City."

"We can see that players from both sides have entered the player tunnel and the game is about to start."

"Before that, please let me introduce to you the starting formations of the two teams."

"For the home team Barcelona, ​​Martino arranged a 433 starting lineup for Barcelona. On the front line, Neymar, Sanchez and Messi are the starters..."

Just as Huang Jianxiang introduced the starting formations of the two sides to the fans watching the game, the players of the two teams began to enter the field as soon as they entered.

The moment Yang Mo appeared on the stage, there was booing in the stands of Camp Nou.

This kind of booing is not because Barcelona fans hate Yang Mo so much. After all, there is actually no conflict between Yang Mo and Barcelona.

It can only be said that Yang Mo's strength has brought too much pressure on Barcelona. The fans hope to use this method to influence Yang Mo.

However, Yang Mo, who has already experienced many battles, would not care about the boos. He smiled and waved at the visiting team stands.

After the teams from both sides came on the field, went through a series of pre-match procedures, and after setting up their positions, with the whistle of the referee, the UEFA Champions League knockout match, which has attracted worldwide attention, officially began.

At the beginning, the home team Barcelona took the lead, and they were still familiar with the pass control. Barcelona stepped into Manchester City's half-court step by step.

However, Manchester City, which had been prepared for a long time, started to deal with it immediately after the start of the game. The pressing and counterattack of the players of the whole team made Barcelona's advancement not so easy.

As the saying goes, there is no good game in a big game. In this crucial game, both teams played very carefully.

After the game started, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides were relatively slow, and they didn't want to give the opponent the slightest chance.

This seemingly exhausting game situation lasted until 37 minutes, and finally changed.

However, it was not Manchester City that made the change, but Barcelona.

In an overall forward attack, Busquets passed the ball diagonally to Sanchez on the right. Sanchez did not stick the ball after receiving the ball, and decisively kicked the ball across and stuffed it into the Manchester City penalty area.

In the penalty area, the first person to catch the ball is not someone else, it is Messi.

Facing Sanchez's pass, Messi made a gesture of hitting the goal directly, which instantly attracted the attention of all Manchester City players in the penalty area.

But just before the shot, Messi unexpectedly missed his foot and gave the ball directly to the back point.

There, Neymar, who suddenly came out, fell to the ground and shot with a shovel.

At this time, the Manchester City goalkeeper Keylor Navas completely focused on Messi. How could he have thought that Messi's shot would turn into a missed goal. When he reacted, he found that it was too late to save Neymar's shot.

Without any surprises, Neymar succeeded in shoveling, and Barcelona took the lead in scoring the lead in this strong duel!

"Not good! Neymar scored with a shovel shot and Barcelona led [-]-[-]."

"Messi missed the ball so beautifully that Manchester City was caught off guard."

"No way, Barcelona's goal from the midfield to the frontcourt, and then to the front of the goal is very smooth, especially Messi's unexpected omission, it seems to let us see the dream three dynasties at the peak of the year."

"Manchester City has nothing to say about the goal. Every player did what they should do, but they just couldn't stop it."

Although Huang Jianxiang is very sorry that Manchester City conceded the goal, he has to admire Barcelona's goal.

On the court, listening to the cheers of the Barcelona fans in the surrounding stands, while watching the young Neymar celebrate wildly, he also gave him a provocative look, and Yang Mo put his hands on his hips with a helpless expression.

He really wants to help Manchester City win, and he did feel the pressure from Barcelona in this game.

This seems to bring him back to three years ago, when Bayern was eliminated by Barcelona, ​​although the outside world said that Barcelona's dream three has come to an end, but when you really face this team, you can still feel the difference Generally strong.

Barcelona's celebration is over and the game resumes.

Naturally, Manchester City did not want to enter the second half with a lagging score, and launched an attack on Barcelona at the kick-off.

However, there is a saying that haste makes waste, and sometimes not only fails, but also backfires.

After several attacks, Manchester City failed to break through Barcelona's defense and returned without success.

And when the game came to 43 minutes, when the first half of the game was about to end, Manchester City made a mistake in the frontcourt attack.

Silva passed the ball through to Aguero. After receiving the ball, Aguero encountered Iniesta's interception. The ball was not decisive enough and was harassed by Iniesta and lost the ball.

Aguero's ball was grabbed by Adriano, and then sent to the frontcourt with a long kick, playing a counterattack.

Seeing the moment the ball was lost, Yang Mo, who was waiting for Aguero to pass the ball, suddenly felt a chill in his heart and felt ominous.

And then, his feeling was confirmed.

After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, Messi directly pierced through Manchester City's defense line, won the one-on-one duel with Keylor Navas, and scored with a push.

2-0.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester City fell behind by two goals.

"Messi's goal! In 43 minutes of the first half, Barcelona led Manchester City [-]-[-]."

"Barcelona is in such a good state, especially Messi, who simply dominated the entire first half."

"Although I like Yang Mo very much, I have to say that just watching the first half, Yang Mo's performance is not as good as Messi's."

"If I remember correctly, they were two-nil down in the first half and that was the first time Manchester City had played this season."

"I hope that the Manchester City players can stabilize their mentality and recover the score in the second half..."

To be honest, in this situation of being overwhelmed by the opponent in the first half and falling behind by two goals, let alone the Manchester City players were a little at a loss, even the commentary was the same.

In Huang Jianxiang's impression, Manchester City has suppressed everyone this season. The situation against Barcelona is indeed a bit evil.
