There is a saying that Barcelona's football is easy to hypnotize, and that's because their passing can go on without interruption.

However, Manchester United has studied its opponents, and these are all appearances. Behind Barcelona's slow passing, there will be a sudden acceleration, which is the killer move, and Barcelona's killer moves are often very hidden.

Iniesta took the ball and passed it to Xavi. The latter paused and then passed the ball to Deco, who paused and responded.

Manchester United defended in a regional position, with no option to swoop in or high pressure. This was arranged based on the opponent's characteristics, because Barcelona's fast passing team likes opponents to swoop in, and they can just push forward.

Suddenly, Eto'o retreated to the penalty area. This was an unusual move. Ferdinand noticed it and he had to follow him, because if he didn't, something might go wrong.

Eto'o's retreat is indeed a signal to get the ball. Xavi gives the ball quickly, and Messi also moves quickly. In this case, if Eto'o completes the pass, the threat will be greater, so now it seems that Ferdinand

This step is so important.

It was this step that blocked Eto'o's first pass, and then Manchester United's midfield defense was in place. Anderson and Carrick were both back. Eto'o could only choose to end the attack with a long shot.

Rijkaard also saw that Manchester United players are very particular about position selection, which means that their ability to block positions in advance is great, so Barcelona's offense needs to be more refined.

Xavi understands this, Iniesta understands it, and Deco understands it too.

The situation started to get tense, because Barcelona didn't take action easily. They were the kind of people who would do nothing if they didn't take action, and they would complete the attack if they did.

Suddenly, Messi started to start, which was another unusual scene, and soon, the ball from Barcelona's midfielder was also delivered.

pass.

run.

Just right.

The moment Messi got the ball, Vidic also followed him. He knew that Messi was very fast, so he did not pounce on the first shot, but stood still. Messi did not grab the first shot either.

I checked to see if there were any teammates in the middle of the penalty area.

As a result, Eto'o was in position, so Messi passed the ball, but Ferdinand's power was shown at this time. He also predicted that this was Messi's only option, so he disposed of the ball before Messi.

Manchester United defended well several times, but the premise was that Barcelona's offense was too complicated, so Barcelona players also understood that the offense should be simpler.

Just when Barcelona fans were looking forward to the next attack, Manchester United launched an attack. This time, surprisingly, it was Carrick who organized the attack.

Carrick is known as the player with the least presence because he does the dirty work in the midfield. Once Manchester United left Carrick, they immediately realized his importance, so this is

The most important invisible man.

For Barcelona, ​​Rijkaard paid the least attention to the midfielder. He studied 10 Manchester United players before the game, including the goalkeeper, but he just didn't pay much attention to Carrick because he was really inconspicuous.

But Rijkaard was shocked when Carrick dunked on Iniesta, which was so unexpected.

Then Carrick continued to dribble the ball forward. At this moment, it seemed that he was not Carrick, but Kaka.

Scholes moved out of the middle, allowing Carrick to attack, and Carrick ran faster and faster, but after all, he was not in charge of organizational work, and when he reached the penalty area, Carrick lacked methods.

But he saw Li Qiao and passed the ball.

Li Qiao picked up the ball on the spot, waiting for Neville.

Brown basically didn't assist when he was here because his ability was not up to par, while Neville liked assisting very much.

Li Qiao pushed the ball to Neville, then passed the ball directly to Rooney in the penalty area.

Although Lu Xiaopang is short, he has strong impact. He squeezed in front of Milito and really pushed the ball hard into the opposite corner. But Valdez was very focused and he saved the ball.

Got out.

"This goal shows how different the styles of the two teams are. Manchester United plays English football in a broad and open manner, while Barcelona's football is too delicate."

Of course, Rijkaard also noticed that Manchester United's offense is still very domineering, while Barcelona's offense kills the opponent silently, both of which are very distinctive offensive methods.

Gradually, Barcelona fans discovered that Manchester United's ball possession rate has increased. Unlike Chelsea, Manchester United seeks possession rate, rather than the type of team that plays traditional defensive counterattacks.

However, most of Manchester United's possession of the ball is on the wing, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Qiao. This is the basis for Manchester United to dominate the Premier League.

The ball came to Ronaldo's side. Although he was facing the experienced Zambrotta, Ronaldo didn't seem to be frightened at all. He was very confident in his fake moves. After shaking left and right, Ronaldo quickly cut inside, but Zambrotta

Also followed.

At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo used his special trick, knocking the ball with his heel. This trick was rarely used by Cristiano Ronaldo later because it was very fancy but flashy.

However, Ronaldo still liked to use these street football-like moves at this time, and Zambrotta was indeed caught in the trick.

When he tried to catch up, it was already too late. Barcelona's defensive ribs were cut into it. Everyone knew this was very dangerous.

Rijkaard also became nervous, this was enough opportunity to form a killer move.

Cristiano Ronaldo took a look, and Rooney and Li Qiao followed him. However, Cristiano Ronaldo is still very independent at this age. In this kind of opportunity, he will only have one choice to shoot.

So Ronaldo volleyed the goal with his left foot, and with a burst of exclamation, the ball flew away.

Li Qiao, who was at the back, had nothing to say. He was originally following up to pick up the slack, but Rooney was very unhappy.

"You pass this ball."

Ronaldo shook his head, a little regretful that the ball was not within the goal frame.

The camera showed Sir Alex Ferguson, and to his surprise, Ferguson looked calm. In fact, Ferguson knew Cristiano Ronaldo very well. This guy was just arrogant and arrogant. Ferguson had experienced so many players under him, and he knew very well about talented young people who, after all, had no character.

Most people don’t have much ability, so it can be said that it’s nothing.

After 20 minutes in the first half, Martin Taylor looked at the data and said, "Barcelona entered the penalty area more times, but shot less."

Alan smiled and said: "Barcelona seems to be stingy with its shots, while Manchester United will hit the goal whenever they have the opportunity."

"This is also due to the different styles of the two teams. Barcelona is looking for offensive success rate."

At this moment, Barcelona had already entered the penalty area, the ball reached Messi's feet, and the Argentine king showed his power.
