"The game is back in the middle!"
"......"
"After taking a one-goal lead, Barcelona fine-tuned its tactics again and reduced the number of players involved in high-pressure pressure."
"Instead, it added more players in the midfield to strengthen the control of the game rhythm."
"To be honest."
"Today, Manchester City was a little bit suppressed by Barcelona in terms of tactics."
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Zhan Jun analyzed the situation on the court.
Just as Zhan Jun said.
After scoring, Barcelona, who grasped Manchester City's psychology, chose to slow down and intercepted Manchester City's passes in the midfield.
Manchester City's backcourt pass is no longer a problem.
But every time the ball comes near the midline, Barcelona's pressing and pressure will increase sharply, and they will work together to grab the ball.
One interception and one grab.
This kind of tacit interception caused Manchester City to lose the ball near the midline several times.
Barcelona, who got the ball, started another part of their classic Tiki-Taka tactics, high-pressure pressing, passing and controlling organization.
In 2007, the name of Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactics was not as loud as that of Guardiola's later era.
However, the Tiki-Taka tactics had already taken shape during Cruyff's coaching of Barcelona, and Van Gaal and now Rijkaard are equivalent to making further improvements on the shoulders of giants.
The most appropriate metaphor to describe the Tiki-Taka tactics is like an ancient and traditional sport in Spain, bullfighting.
In the bullfight.
The bullfighter uses a red cloth to elegantly tease the bull, constantly showing his flexible body movements and superb skills, making the bull exhausted, and finally when the bull's physical strength decreases.
Suddenly attack and kill with one blow.
This is the style of Barcelona's tactics today.
Put pressure on the opponent through high-position pressure, ensure ball possession through passing and controlling organization, constantly wear down the opponent's patience and physical strength, and look for the opportunity to kill the opponent with a sword.
And today's Manchester City.
After being disrupted by Barcelona's opening goal.
He has gradually lost his composure.
He has become an angry bull.
.....................................................
The game came to the 28th minute.
Su Fei retreated to the backcourt to respond.
Facing the direct pass from Martinez.
He passed the ball to the left without stopping.
There.
Modric got in front of Iniesta and touched the ball first.
Then he turned around after pulling the ball and passed it to Cassano.
Cassano, who got the ball, stepped forward.
He opened the distance between him and Iniesta and started to accelerate towards the baseline.
"Manchester City's pass is good this time!"
"Cassano!"
"Driving the ball to the bottom!"
"Facing Van Bronckhorst!"
"Beautiful!!"
"Passing with a flower foot!"
"Cut inside along the baseline!"
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.
But soon.
His eyes dimmed again.
Because Cassano, who had just rushed into the penalty area with the ball, had the ball intercepted by Puyol.
The ball was exchanged.
"What a pity!"
"It's really a pity for this ball!"
"Even if Cassano had been given half a second to kick, it would have been a goal or an assist."
"Su Fei has squeezed into the penalty area."
Wang Tao was still regretting here. The ball intercepted by Puyol on the court was received by Xavi who was retreating.
A long pass was made.
The ball flew to Ronaldinho in the center circle.
Ronaldinho.
With just a light jump, he steadily unloaded the football that fell from the sky at high speed.
Manchester City's attack failed, and Ronaldinho began to push Barcelona's counterattack along the left rib area.
At this time, Manchester City.
Because too many offensive players were invested in the previous attack.
The defense was empty.
Cannavaro was forced to take the initiative to stop Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho faced Cannavaro, first used the outside of his right foot to push the ball outward, and then instantly used the inside of his right foot to pull the ball.
Then he stepped forward.
"Ronaldinho!!"
"Cow tail pass!"
"Pass Cannavaro!"
"Ronaldinho!!"
"Go to the meeting alone!"
"Danger!!"
"Manchester City is in danger again!"
Along with the exclamation of Wang Tao in the ESPN live broadcast room, there were also cheers from 120,000 fans in the stands of Camp Nou.
Stuart's heart was in his throat.
Then.
He was completely dead.
Ronaldinho dribbled the ball into theAfter entering the penalty area, facing the attacking James, he kicked the ball.
A clean and beautiful lob.
The football flew over James' head and across the goal line.
In an instant.
The Camp Nou stadium erupted in cheers like a tsunami.
"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"
"GGGOOOAAALLL!"
"GOAL! ... 】
-【Looking ahead but not behind, only thinking about scoring and equalizing, too impatient, the defense was not stable, and the ball was lost again. 】
-【It's over, this game is really over, there is no rhythm at all, and they are 2 goals behind, how can they play. 】
-【It feels like Manchester City played too unilaterally today, and they all wanted to stand out and be heroes, but when playing against Barcelona, the more impatient you are, the more they like it. 】
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Manchester City fans complained.
..........................................................
On the court, Manchester City players had different mentalities and bad expressions in the crazy celebration of Barcelona players.
Cassano grabbed his hair, his eyes were dull.
James hammered the post.
Cannavaro couldn't help complaining to his teammates on the other back line.
"Why rush so far forward? It's too slow to return to defense!"
Although Cannavaro only joined Manchester City this season, his qualifications and abilities are there.
He is also the defensive core appointed by Stewart.
In Manchester City's games this season, he is often the one who defends and directs the ball on the back line.
So.
Hearing Cannavaro's accusation, Dunn and his team did not refute, but lowered their heads with some self-blame.
Su Fei clenched his fists.
Standing on the grass, looking up at the goal on the big screen, he remained silent.
This goal.
It's not all about Manchester City's defense.
At least.
Ronaldinho's bull tail pass and the lob shot against James are not what ordinary players can do.
I can only say.
Manchester City's defense is empty.
The most important thing is.
Ronaldinho's state today is too good. This kind of historical player, when he plays.
Even if Manchester City has enough defenders, they may not be able to stop him!
