The Glory of the Godfather

"Strange, where did Guardiola go?"

More than one commentator raised this question. Five minutes into the second half of the game, the coach still did not appear on the coaching bench of the visiting team Barcelona.

At this time, the score on the court was three to one.

Just two minutes into the second half, Barcelona pulled back a goal.

This is Barcelona's free kick in a good position. Messi's free kick is of high quality and flew into the dead corner of the goal.

After regaining a goal, Barcelona saw a glimmer of hope and launched a fierce offensive.

"Critical interception!" John Mortensen shouted, "Clement, he can always appear in the most critical position at the most critical moment."

Iniesta broke into the penalty area and sent a horizontal cross. Clemente slid down and shoveled the football out with a sliding shovel.

"Fight back, Aston Villa's chance to fight back."

Milner rushed to save the football before it went out of the touchline, and then directly sent the ball to Modric.

Modric did not choose to take the ball himself, but directly launched the attack with a long pass.

Bell stopped the ball beautifully on the wing, got rid of it, finished in one go, and then started to accelerate the dribble.

He made a move, but passed the football to Suarez, who came to respond.

Suarez took the ball in the ribs, and Bale thrust in from behind him at high speed, attracting Alves's attention.

Suarez took the opportunity to suddenly cut inside, and the tea went into the restricted area (not a typo)!

Alves was shocked and rushed back to defend.

Suarez immediately stabbed the football to Bell in time.

Bell touched the football and rushed into the penalty area along the bottom line!

...

"Breakthrough! Beautiful cooperation!"

After seeing Bell break in, Barcelona's door was suddenly chaotic.

Klose was in a position with Mascherano, and the German veteran squeezed forward desperately, trying to grab the spot.

The Barcelona defenders rushed to Bale in a panic, intending to stop him before he passes or shoots, using their bodies to block the ball out of the baseline.

Bell did not give them a chance to form an encirclement. Before the encirclement was completed, the Welshman swept his left foot and swept the football towards the goal!

Klose threw his body out and shoveled.

However, under Mascherano's close defense, Klose failed to completely throw his body out, and he failed to touch the football.

In the middle, the horse crossed in and shot directly against the football.

The football flew into Barcelona's goal without any suspense...

Valdes had no time to react. He could only watch the football fly into the net.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooo"

"Four to one! Aston Villa quickly opened the score to three goals again, Mane, this is a very critical goal!"

After the goal, Mane was very excited. He turned and ran to Bale who passed the ball for him. The two hugged tightly.

Off the court, Fang Jue was applauding and cheering for the goal.

At the same time, Fang Jue turned his head and glanced at the visiting team coaching bench, but Guardiola still did not appear.

...

A minute later, Guardiola returned to the coaching bench.

His face is ugly.

He broke his throat shouting in the bathroom, and finally a staff member discovered the situation here.

However, what caused Guardiola's collapse was that the staff told him that the spare toilet paper in the bathroom was wet for some reason.

Guardiola could only wait for a few more minutes, until the staff brought toilet paper before he was rescued.

"I want to complain!" Guardiola said angrily.

"Whatever." The staff ignored him, and UEFA did not expressly stipulate that the toilet must always ensure sufficient toilet paper.

"This is deliberate. I asked to adjust the monitoring after the game to see who did it." Guardiola believes that the toilet paper was wet. It is by no means an accident. It must be an attack on him.

"Does your house install surveillance in the bathroom?" Guardiola said in a speechless voice from the staff.

This is the reason why he is so late.

‘One to four? Guardiola raised his eyes and glanced at the score card, asked his assistant, and after understanding the situation, his face became even more ugly.

Although one to four is better than zero to three, although it is necessary to chase two goals, but in the case of zero to three, two to three will only equalize the total score, and three to four can eliminate Aston Villa. but--

As soon as Barcelona got a goal back, Aston Villa quickly surpassed the score again. This situation shows that Aston Villa’s strong offensive ability continues to show off. Barcelona wants to ensure that they do not continue to lose the ball. It is too difficult to chase two more balls.

...

Five minutes later, at the fifty-nine minutes of the game, Guardiola could not sit still and made a substitution adjustment.

Xavi was replaced and Thiago came off the bench.

Xavi is Barcelona's midfielder brain, but Xavi was closely guarded by Clement in today's game.

His performance today can only be said to be quite average.

Perhaps this has something to do with Harvey's body injury. In view of the key to this game, Barcelona's midfielder brain is injured today.

In addition, there is another point: Harvey has a yellow card. When Busquets was sent off, Harvey also had to take on certain defensive tasks. This made Harvey’s yellow card very dangerous. Once the card was sent off again, Barcelona would be completely out of play.

Barcelona made adjustments, and Fang Jue immediately followed suit.

De Bruyne finished his warm-up, and Fang Jue called the little guy nicknamed "Ting Ding" over.

"Now the score is four to one. Nothing can stop us from advancing, so don't stress."

"I know, boss." Hearing Fang Jue speak to himself in an admonishing rookie tone, De Bruyne became displeased. "It's not the first time I played a game."

Fang Jue laughed when he heard him say that, "Yes, you are not a rookie, you are a veteran with two assists in the Champions League."

De Bruyne scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Harvey has been replaced, Fabregas is still on the court, he has a card in his possession, tell everyone to use this more." Fang Jue said.

De Bruyne nodded, indicating that he understood.

De Bruyne came off the bench and replaced veteran Klose.

Mane's position was advanced to the front line, and De Bruyne played the original position of Mane.

When Guardiola saw this substitution on the coaching bench, he whispered a foul language.

Fang Jue is too cunning.

Replace the veteran with a lot of physical exertion and replace it with a fast young man. This is to see Barcelona must be pressed out to fight Barcelona's counterattack.

Guardiola looked very impatient...

From time to time, he got up from the coach's bench and paced the sidelines.

Occasionally, I would look up at the score on the big screen, then look at the time on the watch, or I would turn my head and talk to my assistant.

...

"Pep, have you noticed that the referee has (recovered) normal."

Guardiola snorted, and of course he noticed that after the second half of the game, the referee no longer seemed to favor Aston Villa or deliberately target Barcelona.

The current law enforcement standards can be said to be relatively fair.

However, Guardiola would not be grateful for Dade. In his opinion, this is more like the referee after'completed the task in the first half of the game', thinking that he has been able to promote Aston Villa to the promotion, so he has recovered. The so-called fairness.

In Guardiola's view, Aston Villa's second and third goals were both problematic, especially the third goal and the penalty, which was simply out of thin air. He could not imagine. Lang Lang Qiankun would have such a shameful sentence.

In my impression, it can be said to be ‘comparable’ to that of the World Cup.

...

Time passed by one minute and one second, and Barcelona's attack still had little effect.

On the contrary, Aston Villa's counterattack was impressive.

The 69th minute of the game.

Aston Villa fought back quickly.

After Mane got the ball from the wing, he suddenly cut in and made a shot.

The football that Valdes threw out hit Mascherano's forehead, and after the rebound, it hit the crossbar again and out of the bottom line.

Corner kick from Aston Villa.

Guardiola was shocked. If this goal is scored again ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Barcelona is four goals behind, it will basically be over.

At the same time, Guardiola was also a little helpless. He felt that the team's luck today was simply terrible. Mane's shot was not a big threat. Valdez obviously had a problem with his hand when he made a shot.

Of course, he saved the football at any rate, but he was almost headerd by Mascherano.

...

Gareth Bale stood at the corner, ready to take the corner kick.

This made Valdes nervous.

Well known. Barcelona players are generally not tall. In the past, they had to rely on Pique and Busquets for air defense. Now Busquets has been sent off with a red card. Only Pique has a high point, and the air defense capability is further weakened.

Bell takes the corner kick.

Suarez grabbed the lead, and Pique followed him closely.

This is also one of Aston Villa's corner kick tactics.

Pique was led away.

The football drove to the back point, where Papastasopoulos headed straight to the goal.

It was Puyol who defended him. The Barcelona captain has a lot of experience and found this point. It was almost at the same time that Papastasopoulos took off, Puyol followed.

However, after all, he was a veteran who was about to turn 34 years old, and he was directly crushed by Papasta Sopoulos and completed the header.

Valdes felt that his right hand had touched the football, but what made him desperate was that he did not have the power to stop the football.

The football flew into the net, rolling up the snow-white net.

"Ooooooooooooooooo!"

"Papastasopoulos! The Greeks scored their first goal in the Champions League this season. Five to one, Aston Villa leads Barcelona by four goals. They have almost locked their tickets for promotion."
