Strong Waist

"The captains of both sides, the core players of both sides, Kai and Messi exchange team flags and divide the sides!"

"Both of them are the absolute core of their respective teams. They have the ability to rewrite the score of the game and determine the direction of the game. It can be said that the confrontation between these two directly determines the final direction of the game."

The commentator's voice couldn't help but become a little louder.

After two rounds of the Champions League, a head-to-head battle against Maimang finally came in the third round.

Both Arsenal and Barcelona are strong teams in the Champions League.

Although Barcelona no longer has the glory of the Cosmos era, thanks to the outstanding performance of Messi, Suarez and others, Barcelona still maintains a strong competitiveness in the Champions League.

There is no need to mention Arsenal. As the most popular seed to win the championship, Arsenal's strength level has always been recognized by Europe.

The strong dialogue between these two teams will further intensify the intensity of the game.

"You come first!"

When guessing the edge, Lucky took the initiative to give up the right to choose.

Messi also did his part.

"I want the front!"

"I'm the opposite!"

Both of them made their choices, and the referee tossed the special coin high.

When the coin hits the ground, it’s heads!

Messi pointed to the center circle and said: "We want the ball!"

Lucky pointed to the field on the left; "We want the field on the left!"

The wind was not strong today, so we chose the left field mainly because it is backed by the Arsenal fan area, which can minimize the interference from the opposing fans.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

This will help Arsenal get into game shape faster before the game.

Both sides made their choices, and in the end Lucky shook hands with Messi and the three referees from their respective halves.

At this time, the starting list also appeared on the big screen.

Barcelona (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Roberto, Pique, Langley, Alba.

Midfielder: Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur.

Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Coutinho.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Aubameyang, Wilshere, Kante, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Giroud.

Both sides put out their best and all their main players to deal with this game.

Obviously, they don't want to let go of this crucial game that can be said to determine the first place in the group.

"This is the third round of the UEFA Champions League Group B in the 2018/2019 season. Barcelona plays Arsenal at home!"

"The one wearing the red and blue home jersey is Barcelona, ​​and the one wearing the red and white jersey is Arsenal!"

"Both teams currently maintain the first place in points in their respective leagues. It can be said that this is a confrontation between the top teams in La Liga and the Premier League."

"We can see that Messi has returned to the starting lineup. Barcelona has been involved in a certain amount of public opinion due to Messi's injury and Valverde's employment issues. But in this game, facing such a crucial game In the game, Messi also went into battle again and started against Arsenal! "

"Arsenal also played their main players. During the league and cup matches, Arsenal's rotation gave the main players a lot of rest time. Their physical condition is definitely better. We can look forward to whether Arsenal can perform well in this game. Have a better performance!”

"At the same time, judging from the current lineup, Arsenal is not a completely defensive position. Obviously Mourinho does not want to be so passive when facing Barcelona."

"Or we can also see Messi and Kai penetrating each other's front lines and attacking the city!"

Zhan Jun's voice was extremely excited.

His voice conveyed the fans' expectations very well.

This crucial game has been a long time coming for many fans.

They are particularly looking forward to how Arsenal and Barcelona will start the match.

At this time, the referee has already walked out of the center circle.

The next second, a sharp whistle sounded.

The third round of the 2018/2019 Champions League group stage has officially begun.

"At the beginning of the game, after Suarez kicked the ball, Barcelona quickly integrated their formation and began to pass the ball. The ball began to be passed frequently to Messi's feet, and at the same time it was distributed to Coutinho on the right wing. It can be said that this season, Coutinho has Tinho plays more of a charging role in Barcelona, ​​and this young man has become one of the few offensive players in Barcelona. "

Barcelona's offensive is still launched from the ground.

However, Arsenal's defense is also very solid.

Especially at the beginning of the game, Lucky did not step forward, but maintained a parallel position with Kanter to ensure that the ball would not penetrate easily.

Coutinho needs to face Lucky's marking, but he is not a fool. He does not bite the bullet and go hard with Lucky. Instead, he frequently passes the ball in the frontcourt, through Suarez's counterattack and Messi. The ability to hold the ball ensures their advancement.

This kind of advancement is somewhat similar to the former MSN Trident.

However, it feels a bit awkward in terms of speed.

And in the process of advancing, it seems to be just standing still and failing to penetrate the ball into the dangerous area.

Messi has the ball again, standing close to the center.

Since Iniesta left Barcelona, ​​Messi has taken on more organizational and frontcourt offensive duties.

Different from charging into battle in the past, Messi at this time is more like a commander.

But facing Arsenal's iron wall, Messi also had some difficulties for a while.

The penetrating pass he has always been good at is somewhat difficult to execute.

Lucky kept a good distance from Kanter. The two men were clearly telling him that if he dared to make a penetrating pass, they would stop it for you.

For this reason, Messi dare not act rashly.

He began to call on his teammates to come forward and add some offensive power in the frontcourt.

Barcelona's positional advance has always been a unique skill.

But this time, they seemed to have gotten it wrong.

When Barcelona players poured into Arsenal's half, Arsenal seemed to have suffered some kind of stress reaction and suddenly became manic.

The pressing and oppression also became extremely fierce.

Wilshere, Mane and Aubameyang retreated to press wildly.

With the support of Lucky and Kante, Arsenal instantly took the initiative in the midfield.

"Arsenal started to take action. They were not willing to defend passively and began to press actively."

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted loudly.

His expression was extremely excited. Yes, he should play like this. He couldn't play so passively against Barcelona.

Sure enough, under Arsenal's continuous pressure, Barcelona's passing became increasingly difficult to maintain.

As a last resort, they could only send it back.

Busquets drops back while asking for a safe pass.

Coutinho also immediately turned around and passed back.

While Busquets was waiting to receive the ball, suddenly his teammate Pique behind him exclaimed; "Be careful!"

Busquets almost subconsciously moved sideways to block the ball.

He and Giroud collided hard, but Busquets still stabilized his body.

A Harvey-style circle, forward and reverse, creating some gaps.

Just when Busquets thought he had escaped the opponent's press, a figure suddenly appeared from the side again.

Mane quickly came out from the side and poked the ball to Wilshere in the middle.

"Mane! Steal in the frontcourt!

Arsenal strikes back! "

Andy Gray suddenly cheered.

Wilshere holds the ball, and he immediately dribbles forward. His entire body is diagonally approaching the dribbling line on the left, dragging the entire defense line to the left.

When Barcelona's defense came to the left, Wilshere suddenly made an emergency stop.

"Are we going to split the ball?"

Andy Gray immediately looked forward to it.

At this time, Pique's expression also changed suddenly, and he immediately stepped forward to press for the ball.

But at this moment, Wilshere suddenly moved forward and passed Pique.

"It's over!

Wilshere shoots! This ball~~~~~~”

Andy Gray held his head and the ball flew out of the goal post.

This shot required too much angle and failed to hit the far corner accurately.

Wilshere also shook his head with regret.

However, his extraordinary performance is still extremely exciting.

Not only did he deceive Pique, he almost penetrated Barcelona's goal.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal took the lead in attacking. With this steal in the frontcourt, they immediately formed a counterattack situation.

This attack also caused Barcelona to break out in a cold sweat and was obviously shocked.
