I Want to Be the King of Football

beep! ! !

With the long whistle of the Dutch referee Bjorn Keppers, the entire Louis II Stadium immediately boiled.

Barcelona, ​​who took the lead in kick-off, kicked the ball to Villa by Messi. The Spanish forward made a long pass directly to the back line and handed it to Pique's feet.

Led by Su Dong, with Di Maria and Sanchez as the two wings, Manchester City's front trident also flew towards Barcelona's half-court at the moment when the whistle sounded, first chasing into the middle circle, then straight. Run to the back line.

After receiving the return pass, Pique quickly handed it to Mascherano.

The midfielder, who was transferred from Bayern Munich, was placed on the back line by Mourinho during Puyol's absence due to injury, making up for Puyol's loophole. Teammate Su Dong has already been killed.

After the Argentine midfielder stopped the ball, it quickly passed to the right and gave it to Alves.

After seeing Su Dong, he grinned at Mascherano, and the Argentine smiled back, but Su Dong turned around immediately, always adjusting his position between Mascherano and Yaya Toure.

Whether it's the fans in the stands or the spectators overlooking the camera, it can be clearly seen that Su Dong's movement happened to be stuck in a position that made Alves very uncomfortable.

Barcelona's right back can't pass back at all.

How fast Su Dong's speed and explosiveness are, he is clear in his heart, but he has no bottom.

When Su Dong is always stuck in this position, Alves is very uneasy and not sure whether he passes to Mascherano or to Yaya Toure in the midfield.

But if he dribbled the ball forward, Di Maria was already entangled in him, and there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, at this time, Xavi ran over to receive the ball. After he got the ball, he quickly knocked back to Alves, who had retreated and left the space. This solved the problem of Barcelona's right back, but the ball returned to Barcelona's half.

...

Mourinho scratched his head on the sidelines, then turned his head to the side, and looked at Guardiola on the other side of the coaching bench with some surprise, because he found that Manchester City took the initiative to attack and press and oppress from a high position.

This is really surprising.

Is this guy crazy?

Mourinho looked back at the bench again,

Just looking at assistant coach Vilanova, he turned his head back calmly because he didn't know how to respond.

Did Villanova really guess right?

Is Guardiola planning to start a wave? Or do you really plan to play against Barcelona?

For the time being, Mourinho has no idea.

Vilanova, who was sitting on the coach's bench, noticed Mourinho's expression and sighed inwardly.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Mourinho that it was really easy to decipher the pass from Alves just now. He just needed Yaya Toure to move closer to Alves and avoid it. Su Dong's defensive area is fine.

Yaya Toure leaned over, and after stopping the ball, Harvey, who directly looked for the neutral position, Alves and Yaya Toure ran to the neutral position again. Harvey suddenly had several directions for the ball, and the ball crossed the center line, not at all. Postback is required.

But why was it forced to pass back in the end?

Because Yaya Toure did not lean over, Xavi was forced to leave the space he ran out of to meet Alves.

Passing and controlling the ball is closely linked. When there is a problem in a certain link in the entire passing and controlling chain, especially when the midfield is delayed, this crucial node will be buried. huge hidden danger.

It is like the chain of a bicycle. When one of the links is loose, it may not be a problem when it is usually relaxed, but it may break at any time when it is loaded with a load of climbing.

Yaya Toure is a world-class midfielder who just doesn't fit.

Too sticky to the ball, lack of sense of position, and limited movement and response, which led to him being a dark thunder in Barcelona's midfield behind this position. The previous time was just a mild symptom.

Thinking of this, Vilanova got up, walked to Mourinho's side, and reminded softly: Manchester City will adopt counter-attack tactics, I guess the most likely way is to let Su Dong grab Yaya. Toure, we have to prepare in advance.

Mourinho frowned, and a complex look flashed across his eyes.

Yaya Toure and Busquets are the biggest criticisms of Mourinho by many Barcelona media and celebrities, especially after Busquets played at Manchester City and was selected for the Spanish national team.

Mourinho chose Yaya Toure, Guardiola chose Busquets, who is good and who is not, how to judge?

At this moment, Vilanova mentioned Yaya Toure, which reminded Mourinho a lot.

To a certain extent, Yaya Toure represents Mourinho's coaching authority at Barcelona.

I see. Mourinho said lightly.

Vilanova knew in his heart that Mourinho was very sensitive, which was why he was reluctant to say it yesterday.

But at this moment, Su Dong suddenly grabbed back and promptly passed the ball from Alves to Yaya Toure, intercepted it from the middle, and quickly handed it to Tony Cross.

Toni Kroos shifted the ball to the right, Sanchez took the ball straight to the penalty area, faced Abidal one-on-one, pressed step by step, after a series of fake moves, suddenly started, threw off the French defender, and took a low shot , hit the door directly.

The ball slides out.

At this time, Su Dong was catching up to the back point. When he saw Sanchez kicking the door himself, he raised his hands helplessly.

The Chilean winger quickly raised his hand to apologize.

If this ball is passed, Su Dong is a lore!

Although it failed to form a murderous intention, Manchester City's counterattack was very fast. From stealing the ball to transferring, it was all a one-shot pass. Only Sanchez's breakthrough through Abidal was slightly delayed, but it was only a second or two. matter.

This time the attack can be regarded as a wake-up call for Barcelona, ​​especially Mourinho.

...

The game continues.

After the opening, Manchester City did not adopt the tactics of defending and counterattacking, but kept the counterattack situation uncharacteristically.

Especially the opening wave of high pressing and pressing made Barcelona very uncomfortable.

It’s not that they haven’t experienced high-level pressing and pressing by their opponents. For example, they played against Manchester United in the Champions League final. Ferguson also wanted to grab a wave and adopted such a style of play.

Manchester City are more organised and at the same time more targeted.

The pressure this creates on Barcelona is unmatched by Manchester United's pressing.

The area of ​​activity in Sudong is also different from before.

When defending on his own, he always placed his position in the area of ​​the two central defenders and midfielder Yaya Toure, in order to be able to press the central defender and the midfielder for the first time at any time.

This is also the tactical task Guardiola gave him.

Yaya Toure is tall and strong, with active feet and strong ability to dribble the ball, which makes him often able to break the situation once he rushes up, but his weakness is also very obvious, that is, he is not active in running positions and often leaves own defensive position.

Guardiola also aimed at this, so let Su Dong focus on grabbing his area.

And once from defense to attack, Su Dong will immediately change his position.

During the period of Manchester City's high pressing, Barcelona also fought back for a while, passing the ball into Manchester City's penalty area for the first time.

It was after Iniesta dribbled the ball forward and cooperated with Messi. The Argentine superstar made a direct pass and passed it to the back of the defense. Pedro slanted into the penalty area, stopped the ball in his chest and lobbed the ball. hit high.

In just over three minutes, the two teams played against each other several times, especially the back and forth of the ball.

This makes the game look very exciting and quite fluid.

Despite being counterattacked by Barcelona once, Manchester City still did not flinch, and continued to press and press from a high position, and continued to suppress Alves' side, making it clear that the chariots and horses wanted to abolish Barcelona's right-sided attack.

This also made Mourinho quite nervous on the sidelines and frequently signaled players on the field to pay more attention to supporting Alves, especially Yaya Toure and Mascherano, who were closer to Alves .

But even so, in the fifth minute, Manchester City still seized the opportunity and successfully intercepted the ball on the left side.

After Marcelo stole Alves' pass, he completed a two-to-one match with David Silva. After he stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he was pressed by Alves and blocked. left line.

Seeing that there was no chance for a forced breakthrough, when Di Maria suddenly slanted the bottom line, Marcelo suddenly dunked the ball back. Before Alves could react, he quickly crossed to the left corner of the penalty area.

Sudong pulled to the left corner, facing the attacking direction, facing Marcelo's pass, he blocked Mascherano with his body at that time, turned around after stopping the ball, and cut the ball horizontally.

Pique, who was behind Mascherano, was shocked and rushed to Su Dong for the first time to help defend.

In the face of the menacing Pique, Su Dong suddenly stopped and tried to smash the ball into the penalty area. Pique was so frightened that he quickly blocked it, but Su Dong suddenly swung the ball horizontally, and the whole person started quickly.

There was an emergency stop and a sudden shift. This sudden shift made Pique unable to keep up, and Su Dong directly opened a defensive gap. Su Dong seized the opportunity and was still a long way from the left side of the arc top. Directly pull out the leg and shoot.

The shooting angle is not large, but the ball is in a straight line and takes the lower left corner of the goal at an extremely fast speed.

Valdez was mentally prepared and reacted in time. He flew sideways and wanted to block the ball with one hand.

He is still confident about saving Su Dong's shot!

But what he never expected was that Su Dong kicked the ball very quickly and urgently, but when he entered the small penalty area, there was a rebound on the ground. Des's hand could not save the ball at all.

After the Barcelona goalkeeper threw himself out, he fell on the grass.

The ball hit the side net of the goal behind him.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

In just five minutes, Manchester City opened the scoring!!!!

Su Dong took the lead in breaking the deadlock for Manchester City with a wonderful world wave!

One to zero!!

Barcelona was at a disadvantage in this wave of attacks after the opening, and the goal was scored by Manchester City.
