Chapter 459 You should be more professional!

When the football flew into the goal, Barcelona fans were a little stunned. They didn't expect that Manchester City would score the next goal.

From the second half to Manchester City's counterattack just now, Barcelona was attacking most of the time in the middle, and Manchester City was defending, which seemed like Manchester City had to defend the goal until the last moment. The game completely turned into a half-court offensive and defensive battle, so what they were worried about was whether the team could score goals, not whether the opponent would continue to score goals.

Spanish National Sports TV broadcaster Fernandos Sanchez Bob also thinks so, just now he said, "It's obvious that Manchester City is planning to hold the goal. This idea is a bit conservative, but it's already very successful to take away a goal at the Camp Nou Stadium. If they can hold the goal and take away a victory, they will have a very advantage after returning to home, and Barcelona will be in danger."

"Now for Barcelona, ​​they are equalizing the score as soon as possible, and even trying to overtake the score, because even if Barcelona scored two more goals, the score was only 2-1, and they could only barely accept it at home 2-1. After all, they have to go through an away game..."

"Maybe Barcelona's delay in scoring is also related to Messi's performance. He should pay attention to his condition and try to get rid of Manchester City's defense against him..."

Just after Fernandos Sanchez Bob analyzed the situation on the court, Manchester City's counterattack began, from Morris to Ozil, from Ozil to Darren Bent. After the two made a two-pass and one-time cooperation, the ball was passed to Torres' feet. It was only 7 and 8 seconds in the middle. The time was short and even Fernandos was stunned. Then he saw Torres kick the ball into the goal.

"Torres..."

"Torres... Torres..." Fernandos seemed a little unaware of what tone to explain the goal. After shouting a few times, he rubbed his eyes and it was indeed Manchester City's goal. Then he said in a somewhat lamenting tone, "Torres scored! Our Golden Boy helped Manchester City shoot the ball into Barcelona's goal!"

The club game does not matter whether the player's nationality is determined. Fernandos also realized that Torres actually has nothing to do with Barcelona. Atletico Madrid, who he played for before, will only have conflicts with Barcelona and will never have anything to do. Then he no longer mentioned Torres, but just lamented the goal, "Manchester City relies on quick counterattacks and scored another goal, 0-2. This score is too unfavorable to Barcelona... They should also pay attention to defense when attacking..."

Fernandos' tone is obviously inclined to Barcelona. He is very worried about the unfavorable situation of Barcelona. On the other hand, the commentator of the British Sky Sports tends to Manchester City. Because Manchester City is an English club, even though Wan Sheng himself disdained, the English media actually hopes that the two Premier League teams can meet in the final. So after seeing Torres score a goal, he shouted excitedly, "Torres!!"

“0 to 2!”

"Seeing this goal, I even want to say that the suspense is over! At the Camp Nou Stadium, Manchester City was leading by two goals, and this score is unimaginable! Barcelona have been attacking before, and they want to equalize the score by relying on strong offense, but Manchester City used the goal to tell them that defense is also very important..."

"Manchester City's counterattack speed is very fast. Morris intercepted the ball and sent the ball into the goal. It took no more than 10 seconds in the middle. It was like Barcelona was still attacking the moment before, and the football flew into Barcelona's goal the next moment. It was simply... incredible fast!"

"This is the fast attack that Manchester City relies on. Several frontcourt players cooperated very well. With continuous cooperation, Barcelona's pitiful defense did not work at all. They didn't have time to return to defense, and most players could only watch the football fly into the goal..."

"But it is not surprising that Manchester City can score any goal anymore. Barcelona has suppressed Manchester City as a whole, but their performance is actually not good. Messi, who was highly expected before the game, has never performed much. He even seems to have disappeared in the game..."

"This may be attributed to Brummer, who has been keeping a guard against Messi, making Argentine stars unable to perform at all. Since transferring to Manchester City, Brummer has always performed steadily, but because he is not very good at offense and the team has core offensive and defensive players like Morris, so Brummer has not played a lot. Perhaps many people were still wondering before, what did Wan Sheng buy the Brazilians? After this game, I don't think anyone will be confused. In defense, Brummer played the biggest role, and he successfully frozen Messi, who is the core of Barcelona!"

The British Sky Sports commentator criticized Barcelona and praised Manchester City without mercy.

Manchester City fans are all in a carnival.

The Barcelona fans, who occupied the majority of the scene, were silent. They had never expected the game to become like this. Just now, they were expecting the team to score quickly to equalize the score, but the opponent scored a "fast" goal. The gap between ideals and reality made them a little difficult to accept. Some fans were unwilling to believe that this was true, but the numbers on the scoreboard of the Camp Nou Stadium were clear.

0:2!

The home team Barcelona is two goals behind!

Torres' goal was a huge blow to Barcelona. From head coach Rijcard to the players on the bench, everyone had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

They had no idea that the team would be two goals behind at the Camp Nou Stadium!

This reality is somewhat beyond their acceptable limit. They participated in the game with the mentality of eliminating Manchester City and entering the finals. At the first leg of the Camp Nou, their minimum limit was at least to win.

Only by winning will you have an advantage. After going to Manchester Stadium, it will be easier to play in the second round.

But two goals behind?

Both goals behind at home, how can you play away?

Rijcard has not recovered yet, but he knows that the biggest problem of the team is actually Messi. If Messi's problem is not solved and they will not do anything after going to Manchester Stadium.

Rijcard believes that the biggest reason for playing to this level is that Messi was defensive and had no performance at all.

Wansheng doesn't think so.

In Wan Sheng's view, there are two reasons why the team can lead two goals at Camp Nou. One is that the opponent relies too much on the core players, and the other is that Manchester City's overall strength is already stronger than Barcelona now.

Barcelona's style of play is gorgeous, even more gorgeous than Manchester City's "os-f" system control style, but they have a fatal weakness, which is that they rely too much on core players.

It was Ronaldinho before, but now it is Messi.

Regardless of who the core player is, there is no doubt that the impact of core players on the team's performance is. Many times, Barcelona's performance is not good because of the poor performance of core players. Conversely, as long as the core players perform well, Barcelona will perform very well overall.

That's why, when Barcelona lost the 'national derby', from the coach to the media, everyone attributed the reason to Ronaldinho.

In fact, Manchester City will also be affected by the performance of core players, but it is definitely not as good as Barcelona. For example, Morris, even when Morris is injured and unable to play, the team's performance is still very good. Ozil and Silva's partner can also make the team play normally. The team is also very adaptable to other styles of play and will not be affected to a level similar to Barcelona because of "no core".

It is precisely because of knowing Barcelona's weakness that Wan Sheng arranged a defense against Messi.

After Messi was strictly guarded and unable to perform normally, Barcelona's offense was greatly affected. They were unable to break through Manchester City's goal for a long time, which accounted for a large reason.

The second point is Manchester City's overall strength.

Wan Sheng asked Brumer to mark Messi and Morris also paid attention to it. When other players were running, they also paid attention to blocking Messi's pass and receiving route. This kind of defensive investment was very large.

After investing a lot of defensive energy on the opponent's single player, we can see that Manchester City still has no disadvantage when defending Barcelona's offensive, and the counterattack can still be very sharp, which shows that the team's strength is no worse than Barcelona.

Since your strength is not bad, what's so strange about the game?

Wan Sheng was pleased that the competition achieved ideal results.

It was really advantageous for the team to lead Barcelona two goals at the Camp Nou Stadium, so next, he did not let the team be 'really grateful' and attack the Barcelona goal, but allowed the team to continue to retreat to defend.

The most important thing now is not to strive for greater advantages, but to maintain advantages.

The advantage of two goals is enough to get the team back to Manchester Stadium and play a stable second round. On the contrary, if Barcelona scored the last goal, the suspense would increase a lot.

Wansheng doesn't like suspense, he likes everything in his hands.

So next, Manchester City began to defend, with a more stable defense than before. Even Torres returned to the penalty area line, and Manchester City took a stance of being strictly guarded and defending.

Barcelona kept attacking Manchester City, and they were eager to score a goal, but Manchester City's counterattack just now made them feel a little nervous, worried that Manchester City would take another fast break, so they still had to worry about defense, and the offense was not as fierce as before.

In this case, they face Manchester City's tighter defense, and the result can be imagined.

In the 81st minute of the game, Wan Sheng made a substitution adjustment, Darren Bent was substituted and Boateng appeared.

The Spanish media simply interpreted the substitution as, "Manchester City continues to add more defense..."

The British media "kindly" reminded Barcelona to still pay attention to Manchester City's counterattack. "Even if Darren Bent is out, there will be Torres, Ozil and others on the field, which is enough to pose a threat to Barcelona's goal."

Perhaps Barcelona didn't think so. After Manchester City completed the substitution, they realized that Manchester City had strengthened their defense and perhaps gave up the offense, so their offense became even more relaxed.

As a result, in the 85th minute of the game, Manchester City hit Barcelona's penalty area line with a fast break. Morris's powerful shot almost knocked on Valdes's hand again.

Watching the football fly over against the crossbar, all Barcelona were sweating in cold sweat. They immediately realized that Manchester City was not completely powerless to fight back!

The next game can be described as "convenient". Barcelona failed to threaten Manchester City's goal again, and Manchester City did not launch a sharp counterattack.

The final game ended 0-2.

Manchester City won the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

When the referee blew the end of the game, Manchester City players cheered and celebrated, while Barcelona players lowered their heads, somewhat unbelievable that they would lose two goals at the Camp Nou.

Wan Sheng took the initiative to go forward to shake hands with Rijkald.

The Dutch looked at Wan Sheng with a little disappointed look, and a little disappointed, and a little bit... indignant. He had previously thought that Wan Sheng was the same person as him, the head coach who insisted on combining "gorgeousness and use". The game between Barcelona and Manchester City will also be a classic offensive football battle that has been recorded in history.

After this game, he found that his judgment was completely wrong.

This young Chinese plays completely 'practical' football. As for whether it is gorgeous or not, whether it is offensive or not, perhaps he doesn't care at all.

Because the other party is a completely utilitarian!

The "classic offensive football battle" he was expecting was completely turned into "again victory for utilitarian football". Now when facing a thousand victories, Rijcard felt indignant and disappointed. Needless to say, what he lost was that he lost to utilitarian football. Barcelona lost two goals to Manchester City, and he undoubtedly lost completely.

but……

"The two rounds of the game are not over yet, we still have a chance in the next game!"

Rijkald said solemnly to Wansheng.

Wan Sheng was stunned, then smiled, gave Rijkald a thumbs up, and said, "Come on!"

Wan Sheng's last 'Come on' undoubtedly made Rijkaard very angry.

He spoke provocative words, but he didn't want to hear a "Come on", which means that the other party doesn't care at all. Perhaps in the other party's heart, it's confirmed that Manchester City can qualify, so he doesn't care about his words.

So Rijkald gritted his teeth at Wan Sheng.

This feeling was brought to the press conference. Facing the interviews of a number of media reporters, the Dutch repeatedly emphasized, "0 to 2 is not the end of the day. We will learn from this lesson. When we go to Manchester, we still have a chance."

Wan Sheng celebrated the victory with the players before going to the press conference.

When he arrived at the venue, Rijkald had already left. Perhaps the two had a tacit understanding of "not meeting". A reporter immediately told Wansheng about Rijkald's words just now, wanting to hear how this young Chinese would respond.

But Wan Sheng didn't say anything about this issue at all. Instead, he talked about before the game. "I said before that Messi is an excellent player, so we must pay attention to Messi, but it seems that many people didn't take my words to heart, but instead took it out of context. I was just praising Messi, but in fact, what I emphasized is that we need to defend Messi seriously."

"Did you see it? 0 to 2, this is the consequence of your taking it out of context..."

"I hope that as a media, you should report more professionally. You should listen to the interviews, listen to them all, do you understand them? I actually emphasize that you should defend Messi instead of praise him... Alas, you really are..."

Wan Sheng covered his forehead with a painful look on his face. (To be continued.)
