Football Legend No. 13

On March 19, that day came.

The whole of Camp Nou has turned into a sea of red and blue, three years after their last Champions League title, and this time they are regrouping and are bound to step on the new Premier League champion to advance to the next round.

Manchester City don't want this to happen, they need to score, because Barca have two away goals in hand, so they have to force Manchester City to come out and attack!

But the pedigree in Barca's bones is not a defensive counter-attack, the attack they need.

Possession and attack are in Barca's blood, and this game is no exception.

At the whistle, the game begins!

Barca are at home, and they still choose to take the lead.

What they need is space, so after the kick-off, their players are very scattered, but they can receive passes from their teammates on the run.

At this time, the rhythm of Barca is dominated by Andres Iniesta, under his combing, every wave of Barca runs drives Manchester City's defense, and there is a feeling that it is like peeling an onion, peeling away Manchester City's defense layer by layer.

Messi's run to the bottom line on the right side attracted Fernandinho's attention, and it is impossible to let the Barca heavyweight go unchecked.

Once left alone, what kind of consequences it is, you can think about it with your ass.

With Fernandinho pulled away, David Silva is also wary of Rakitic, and the midfielder who can start Barca will naturally not be a weakling.

After Rakitic received a pass from Xiaobai, he judged the situation and picked up a high ball and prepared to send it directly to Suarez, who retreated to the back position.

The position of this pass was predicted by Zheng Lin, and he stepped forward to intercept.

But he didn't notice Suarez's position behind him.

"Bang"

The two collided abruptly.

Judging from the camera, both of them collided with each other in order to compete for this one ball, without slowing down in the slightest, and both fell to the ground fiercely.

Judging from the jumping situation, Zheng Lin was in the downwind, and his brow bone hit Suarez's elbow.

This wave of direct blood spilled on the spot.

After landing, Zheng Lin was exactly behind him, and he realized that he was injured, and this was the first time he saw blood in the arena!

"Drip!"

The game was suspended directly.

Zheng Lin was arranged to deal with the wound on the sidelines, after all, this situation must be dealt with.

"Can it be dealt with right away here?"

Zheng Lin gasped and asked, just hit someone's elbow, he felt very uncomfortable, and fortunately, after slowing down, he felt that the current problem was not big, but this bleeding problem must be solved.

"Yes, don't move!"

The team doctor wiped the blood from Zheng Lin's face, and also put gauze on Zheng Lin's eyebrow bone.

After confirming that the wound was bleeding again, Zheng Lin was allowed to return to the field.

Because Zheng Lin's end to deal with the wound, the situation on the field was suppressed by Barça extremely fiercely!

From an onlooker's point of view, City's goal conceded is a matter of time, after all, there is currently one less man to fight.

With Zheng Lin back on the pitch, City's midfield defence gradually stabilized, Barca also weakened their attack, and they began to increase their possession to find scoring opportunities.

This is a major characteristic of Barca, when they can't quickly turn the attack into a goal, they will re-sort the offensive situation on the field by constantly passing the ball.

At the moment, they are still this choice.

The football, effectively dispatched by Andres Iniesta, began to pass back to the position of central defender Pique and they used this situation to reopen space for the trident up front.

For MSN, if they have room to adjust, then there is a chance to score goals in the cooperation of the three.

Sure enough, after Andres Iniesta's redistribution, it was Rakitic who split the ball to Alves on the right side.

As one of the representatives of full-backs known for his attacking ability, Alves has also shown his ability at this moment.

I saw that he was facing Fernandinho who defended the past with a fancy move to match his rhythm and pass the person, but in the next step, as long as he took a distance of about ten meters forward, he could cross!

Kolarov wanted to step forward to make up for the defense, how did he expect that after Alves scored the ball, he continued to insert forward, which also caused Kolarov to fall into a dilemma, fortunately there is Zheng Lin who has a return defense, otherwise he can only defend Messi!

After Messi received the ball, he failed to pass Zheng Lin with two consecutive croquettes, but his small broken step dribbling advance still caused Zheng Lin's center of gravity to deviate.

This deviation was also detected by Messi, who knew very well that this was his opportunity, so he took a fake move to continue to deceive Zheng Lin's center of gravity to be unstable, because only then could he proceed to the next step.

With such thoughts, Messi really made Zheng Lin's center of gravity unstable.

This situation also made Zheng Lin feel a little in his heart, Messi is really strong, at this time his ability to protect the ball is first-class, not to mention excellent shooting skills and that excellent free kick.

There was no time to sigh, when Messi grabbed Zheng Lin's center of gravity to the right, he directly pulled the ball and cut inside!

After a stumble, Zheng Lin fought that the flexibility of his body was not bad, and he quickly stabilized his figure and chased up again.

After the inner cut, Messi made another adjustment when Zheng Lin had not yet returned in time to defend it, and directly faced Demichaelis and hit the goal directly!

This kick is aimed at the left side of the goal.

With the goal on the horizon, Joe Hart as goalkeeper made everyone unforgettable tonight.

"Messi hit the goal, this kick went straight to the left side of the goal, Joe Hart again refused this shot! Tonight's Joe Hart seems to have three heads and six arms, facing Barca's powerful attacking line, he has made many magical saves to defend the last line of defense for Manchester City! "

Messi threw his hand a little annoyed at the failure to score, and he didn't seem to be very comfortable with Manchester City's games in these few games.

This is the fourth time he has faced Zheng Lin, and although he won the final victory last year, Zheng Lin's performance also surprised him, and his performance with Zheng Lin also made him recall his original appearance after the game!

It's a game of life and death, and although Manchester City's strength is not as good as Barca's, there is never a shortage of upsets on the football field!

Manchester City quickly launched a counter-attack after Messi's shot missed.

If you want to advance to the next round, you have to win Barca away from home, and if not, then unless you play another 2-2, Manchester City will eventually be eliminated.

So for Manchester City, they have to play fast and run, because Barca, who are fighting in the third line, will eventually have a problem with their fitness when there are not so many rotations!

After City's attacking players dispersed, Zheng Lin was in the left-wing-back position, which was not the first time he had been there, but his previous performances were unusually poor, and this time Pellegrini put him in the past, not knowing what he was considering.

Football is under the control of Moussa Sissoko, as a combination of Mohamed Diarra and Vieira, his attacking ability is not bad, and he also has an excellent long-range shooting kung fu.

Although Zheng Lin also has a long-range shot, this guy seems to use less and I don't know what to think.

In the small cooperation of the front court four, Zheng Lin is in an excellent position, which happens to be his range.

David Silva, who plays as a forward back, saw for the first time that he was pretending to be close to Keylor Keylor on the right, and suddenly made a powerful pass in the middle, and the ball was fast, which also caught Mascherano by surprise.

Zheng Lin adjusted slightly, and directly slammed the door violently.

"Passed, David Silva this is a move to the east, he deceived Mascherano, the football kicked to the left side of Zheng Lin, is he shooting directly or is he passing further to Aguero in front?"

"This is also within his range, as long as he gets his feet, then he has a chance to directly threaten the goal!"

“OMG！ Zheng Lin directly kicked and exploded, directly ignoring Pique them, this choice is a little sloppy, if it is carried out again....

The goal went in!!

In the 33rd minute of the game, Manchester City, who had been pressed by Barca for nearly 20 minutes, welcomed their first attack, and their midfielder Zheng Lin received a pass from David Silva, he burst directly to score a valuable goal for Manchester City on the road!

"At this point, Manchester City are 1-0 away to Barca!"

For this goal, Manchester City's hope of qualifying is still slim, and from the current suppressed situation, unless Joe Hart has a god-level play this time, it is only a matter of time before Barca scores.

Roughly calculated, Joe Hart has made more than five saves in just over thirty minutes, and if it were not for his performance, Manchester City would have already broken the goal.

With this goal, Camp Nou booed, they had nothing to say about City's performance, and they were more protesting to Barca's backline.

......

The game resumes.

After trailing by a goal, Barca played patiently, no longer opting for long passes that could be missed, but more infiltrating City's defence through a small range of short passes.

This situation makes Manchester City a little uncomfortable, because when two defenders face two or more defenders, it is difficult for them to make the best choice, and they can only defend with the direction of the ball.

In the 43rd minute, Rakitic and Andres Iniesta in midfield and the trident in front of the pitch had already pressed City in front of their penalty area.

It's just that they don't have good chances, and they are still passing the ball.

Andres Iniesta kicked the ball straight to allow Suarez to steer the defence, and because the chances were not good, Suarez chose to pass diagonally to Messi.

Zheng Lin, who went to guard Messi, did not expect that Messi would follow the trend so much, and the football then fell to Rakitic inserted behind him.

Rakitic just kicked and shot.

"Messi a nice missed ball, followed by Rakitic pushed and the ball went !!!!"

'Towards the end of the first half, Messi made a clever choice to pull a point back for Barca, and the pressure at this moment was all on Manchester City

, and if City can't score in the second half, then for them this season's Champions League will end here!

The aggregate score has come to 3-3, because Barca have 2 away goals, at this time the score is still in a 1-1 situation, want to go further, then Manchester City can only open up!

......

City took advantage of the few chances in the first half of the game, but they were too passive on the pitch, which put them at constant risk of being scored at any time, and they had to step up their defence if they wanted to win the game.

But the most uncomfortable thing is that Manchester City can not come up with a very effective method against Barca's MSN, especially when Suarez has integrated into Barca's tactics, the all-round center forward's strength is really too fearful.

Not to mention Messi and Neymar on both wingers.

One Barça talented player, the other is the most outstanding talent in the Samba Kingdom, both have top talent, every move is full of confused feints, coupled with the three of them combined with the flash of inspiration, which is a lot of noise for Manchester City's relatively "weak" defense.

At half-time, City will have to come up with a better defensive strategy.

Barca regretted that they didn't score more goals in the first half, but they didn't lose confidence!

Enrique, who is the head coach, once again emphasized, "Don't worry, let's take our time, we still have the advantage on hand, in the second half Javier you have to pay attention to the movements of Manchester City's midfield, Jeremy you have to take the initiative, don't be so passive, after Jordi goes up, you have to take care of the touchline!" "

He is a bit at the back of Mascherano, Mathieu at centre-back, for these two players, he may not be at ease with Mathieu, if not Busquets can not play, then this game will not be so passive.

As the head coach, he naturally heard the wind, saying that Mathieu is a man with 0-1 attributes, but this is a normal thing to be broken, players are people, not machines, so they will always make mistakes, but as long as they correct them in time after making mistakes, they are good players!

In the second half, Barca are ready and they are bound to advance to the next round!

As for Manchester City, they can only say one thing: we will step on your shoulders to the end and finally win the title!

Barca, the giants of La Liga, need this title to tell the world that we Barcelona are back!
