Chapter 607 The opponent who dominates the game

In Huang Jianxiang's view, the first half was a bit evil, and finally ended 2-0.

For the first time this season, Manchester City entered the break with a two-goal deficit, which no one could have imagined before the start of this game.

Since the start of this season, Manchester City, who has crushed the Premier League with an unbeaten record and is also unstoppable in the Champions League, will play like this when facing Barcelona, ​​which is really unexpected.

In the stands, the Manchester City fans who came from afar looked confused.

The Manchester City players who walked off the field were also in a daze.

On the Internet, comments on Manchester City's situation in the first half of the game have been completely blown up.

Especially in China, those sunspots who have been lurking for a long time finally found a chance to go out.

Although the game was only halfway through, Manchester City's performance in the first half was enough for them to make a fuss about.

"At this level, I still want to win the Champions League three times in a row. Are you sure it's not a dream?"

"It turns out that Manchester City has been so arrogant because they have not met Barcelona. Now when they meet Barcelona, ​​they immediately reveal their true colors."

"Yang Mo was sleepwalking in the first half. He is far behind Messi. In my opinion, just return the Golden Globe to Messi."

"Before the game, the bragging was as high as the sky, and the kicking on the field stinks like shit!"

"Without Ibrahimovic, Yang Mo is trash!"

……

It has to be said that Manchester City, which lacks background, is still a bit vain due to its popularity supported by winning fans and champion fans.

It was just a little frustrated, and someone jumped out immediately to be upset.

I didn't see what Manchester United has achieved this season, they couldn't even enter the European war, and they didn't suffer the treatment like Manchester City.

Especially Yang Mo, as the saying goes, as many people like you, as many people hate you.

Yang Mo's performance in the first half was not good, but he was definitely not in a state of sleepwalking. His threat to Barcelona's penalty area has always made Barcelona's defense very tense.

But the problem is that his performance is not as good as before, and the performance of his teammates is also not very good.

And after falling behind by two goals, the atmosphere of Manchester City's entire team changed obviously, and they became a little overwhelmed.

At half-time, Pellegrini tried to cheer the team up.

But the old coach obviously didn't have too clever means to mobilize the players' emotions. After the whole intermission, the state of the Manchester City players didn't change much.

Therefore, when entering the second half in this state, Manchester City's performance on the court was even worse than that in the first half.

In the 55th minute, in the desperate eyes of the Manchester City fans, Barcelona once again expanded the score.

It was still Messi who scored the goal this time.

After Neymar broke through from the left, he suddenly returned a pass. Messi inserted a long shot and directly pierced Manchester City's goal.

3-0.

It can almost be said that Barcelona has secured the victory of this game.

And after leading by three goals, Manchester City's prospects for the quarter-finals also instantly became gloomy.

In the stands of the Nou Camp, Barcelona fans cheered wildly,

At the commentary seat, Huang Jianxiang and Director Zhang looked at each other with wry smiles.

"It's three to zero. I can only say that Messi's state in this game is really good. He scored twice and defeated Manchester City."

"But what I want to say is that although Manchester City is three goals behind, it is not the time to give up."

"The game is just over halfway, and Manchester City still has a chance. Now they have to adjust their mentality as soon as possible, and they can't continue to concede goals."

"Since the restructuring of the Champions League, it is not uncommon for a game to be reversed after falling behind by three goals in the first round, but if you fall behind too much, I am afraid it will be really dangerous."

Director Zhang agreed with Huang Jianxiang's words, "Yes, there is absolutely no difference between Manchester City and Barcelona in terms of strength. The biggest problem for Manchester City now is the mentality of the players after falling behind."

"It is very important for Manchester City to be able to adjust their mentality..."

In fact, there is no need to explain, everyone knows that even if Manchester City hurts Ibrahimovic, their strength will not be worse than Barcelona.

Especially Yang Mo, who is on the front line, is definitely a threat at the level of nuclear weapons.

But the problem is that the Manchester City players were out of form in this game, and they failed to adjust their mentality quickly after falling behind, which caused everyone to be unable to show their strength.

And once this state continues, I am afraid it will not be 3-0.

Regarding the team's problems, Yang Mo on the field can naturally see it, and he is also quite anxious.

But the confusion of his teammates, as well as Barcelona's tight defense of him in this game, and he himself felt that the game was not going well, made it impossible for him to help the team make changes for a while.

And just after Barcelona scored the third goal, Pellegrini made personnel adjustments, replacing Aguero with Nastasic.

"What does Pellegrini's substitution mean? Is he going to give up this game?"

"Aguero's performance in this game is indeed not good, but without Aguero, Yang Mo alone in the frontcourt is difficult to support."

Huang Jianxiang couldn't understand Pellegrini's substitution.

Even if you keep a 3-0 score and return to the home court, can you make a comeback at home?
After falling behind, what I think about is not attacking, but strengthening defense. This is not the Manchester City in Huang Jianxiang's memory at all.

Did Ibrahimovic's injury make Pellegrini conservative to such an extent?

Who would be happiest to see Pellegrini stepping up his defense?Of course it is Barcelona.

With a three-goal lead, even if they don't score in the next game, Barcelona will have a huge advantage in this round of the Champions League knockout round.

In the next game, the disadvantage brought by Aguero's exit was fully revealed on the court.

Only needing to deal with Yang Mo alone, the pressure on Barcelona's defense is greatly reduced, allowing them to launch attacks more easily.

Pellegrini's choice not only failed to stabilize Manchester City.

On the contrary, Manchester City's defensive pressure in the backcourt has become even greater because of Barcelona's freedom of movement in the backcourt.

Looking at his team's precarious defense, even Yang Mo couldn't maintain the pressure in the frontcourt, so he took the initiative to retreat to help defend.

In the face of a team like Barcelona, ​​blindly defending is obviously useless.

In the 76 minutes of the second half, the nightmare once again fell on Manchester City.

Barça relied on ground penetration to launch their attack when Neymar went down in a confrontation with Fernandinho after receiving the ball on the left.

Although judging from the playback, Fernandinho's collision was very reasonable and there was no foul element.

But because Neymar's painful performance after falling to the ground was too realistic, the referee still awarded Barcelona a free kick in the frontcourt.

The position of this free kick is very good, and Messi personally took the penalty.

A direct free kick cut through the sky, went around the wall and fell instantly, and then flew in from the lower left corner of the goal.

4-0.

Navas picked up the ball from goal for the fourth time of the game.

Messi, on the other hand, completed a staggering hat-trick.
