Robben never felt weaker than anyone else.》.[]

Including Ronaldo, who just fought, and Messi, who is standing not far ahead of him now.

People who rely on skills to make a living without absolute confidence may still be able to pass many people, but there will definitely be people who you cannot break through no matter what. Robben moves forward, so he may sometimes fail, but there is no one who he absolutely cannot break through, including the Spaniard who has a tough face in front of him who is actually just a guest-star full-back.

Puyol.

Barcelona's captain is the team's back-defense back. He debuted as a full-back, but became famous as a central defender. From Dream 2 to Dream 3, there is no more suitable witness in Barcelona. In this game, he became Barcelona's starting left-back. This was not Puyol volunteered, nor was Guardiola's strange move, but purely a helpless move.

Barcelona has three left-backs, Abidal, Adriano and Marxville, but the first two have announced season reimbursement, while the latter strained his groin in the game against Osasuna last week. In desperation, Guardiola had to let Puyol replace him. Puyol had no objection to this, although this position was not his favorite position.

What surprised Guardiola was that his passive replacement seemed a bit like a coincidence.

In five encounters, Puyol won three times, one-on-one.

The opponent is Robben, which is an amazing achievement. This is not to show how powerful Robben is, but because offense and defense are originally active and passive. Being able to directly transform passive into initiative is not an amazing thing, especially in such a duel. What's more, losing one-on-one does not mean that the opponent really poses a threat.

Puyol, who once again used an accurate tackle to kick the ball out of the sideline, stood up and ignored Robben, who was also climbing up from the grass. He walked away silently, but his eyes were still at the place where he was preparing to serve the sideline ball.

Robben stood up with a calm expression.

He became famous at a young age. Since he had played for Chelsea, Real Madrid and other giant teams, and his intelligence was "extremely strong", he always gave people a very mature feeling. But in fact, he was only twenty-seven years old now, which was the golden stage of his professional career. Robben caught the ball thrown by the caddie and threw it to Sabaleta who ran up. Then he stood up and ran to Barcelona's hinterland on the right.

Immediately, Puyol stood beside him again.

Sabaleta meowed with the ball for a long time, but finally threw it at Robben's feet.

Puyol leaned against Robben, and seemed to have no chance to turn around, but Robben, who has been an old opponent with the opponent since Real Madrid, knew that this was just a trap. As a central defender, Puyol's turn speed was not slow at all, at least. Such a move as a passer-through is not effective for him, unless you have a speed that surpasses the opponent's level.

Robben, nicknamed "Peter Pan", is naturally his advantage, but in this game, he did not gain much advantage.

Of course, not taking much advantage does not mean that you have to suffer all your disadvantages.

A ball turned around. Robben changed from being on his back to facing the opponent's goal, and then, as he expected, the seemingly passive Puyol turned around without slowing down. Before Robben could get off, Puyol was already standing on his route.

But this time, Robben did not intend to eat the opponent raw. He pushed the ball backwards and Sabaletta, who had just thrown the sideline ball, inserted it at high speed along the sideline.

Puyol was a little surprised.

Scared?

No!

Puyol quickly rejected his idea. Although it was short-lived, Sabareta and Robben, who were plugging in the high speed, immediately formed a numerical advantage in the area at this moment. After passing the ball to Sabareta, Robben himself also began to start.

At this time, a figure pulled out from the middle and then left the hinterland on the left side.

Although he was beaten by the opponent two times, this figure was enough to make Puyol calmly continue to focus his goals on Robben.

What is revealed is Mascherano, who is also a "guest-acting identity".

Argentina's midfielder who once entered Linson's transfer list last summer has been placed on the defense by Guardiola more than once this season. Due to Barcelona's style of play and Pique's existence, Mascherano's shortcomings of insufficient height have been compensated. Instead, his prediction and tackle ability have been maximized. Therefore, he has actually become one of the regular central defenders under Guardiola. It is precisely because of this that Guardiola dares to let Puyol go to the left with confidence.

Mascherano's pulling was not Barcelona's only position change in this defense. After he left the penalty area, a tall and thin man also retreated to the penalty area to fill the Argentinian's position.

...

Robben and Sabaretta posed a "threat" on the wing, and Barcelona responded step by step.

Everything was just like before. Everyone thought that this attack would probably end in vain again. Even the commentator of espn did not interrupt his "chat" because of Manchester City's attack. But it was at this time that Lin Sen, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly became a little quicker.

In football matches, no one knows when the goal will be born, because even with the most sophisticated tactical design, you cannot guarantee that you will be able to score 100% goals. Therefore, it is difficult to plan a conspiracy on the football field, including this time that almost lays the foundation for the entire first half of the attack. Lin Sen can also not guarantee that it will be effective, but no matter how difficult it is, you cannot give up trying.

Isn't that the so-called hope?

Sabaleta handed the ball to Robben again, and Robben dribbled the ball and once again one-on-one with Puyol.

Things don't seem to change, except that the location is closer to the goal of Barcelona.

Puyol believes that this time, Robben must have a break with him, because the two have arrived near the corner kick area and Robben has no choice but to retreat, but at this time, what Puyol did not expect was that Robben passed the ball again.

And this time, it was not Sabaleta, but a further direction.

wrong!

Guardiola's eyes suddenly froze.

Lin Sen set up a frontless formation. Everyone, including Guardiola, believed that if Manchester City wanted to attack, they could only go through two wings, Bale and Robben, while the four players in the midfield were purely a flesh-and-blood grinder, which was specially prepared for Barcelona's midfield. But at this moment, Guardiola suddenly discovered that except for De Jong, the other three midfielders of Manchester City suddenly rushed forward at high speed at the same time.

Yaya Toure was the one who received Robben's pass.

Vidal is not far from Toure. After Toure received the ball, his position has surpassed the latter and arrived at the front of the opponent's penalty area. Behind him is Xavi Martinez.

The midfield situation, which was originally almost messy to many people, actually showed a hint of bright trend at this moment.

Because Mascherano was pulled out of the penalty area, Busquets made a replacement and left the midfield. Barcelona's midfield was actually only two people left, one was Xavi, who had limited defense ability and the other was Keita. The former had no time to retreat. The latter targeted Yaya Toure, who was receiving the ball, so it became Vidal and Xavi Martinez behind without any signing.

At this time, Bale also inserted from the left highway and took away Alves, who was trying to return to the penalty area to assist in defense.

The situation suddenly turned into Busquets and Pike who were nestled in the penalty area, facing the situation of Vidal and Xavi Martinez.

“Two to two!”

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly turned into such a commentator. At this time, he finally woke up like a dream.

"A chance for Manchester City!"

The stands of the entire city stadium suddenly became restless. The singing was temporarily covered by the shouts at this moment, and at this moment, the Manchester City bars in every corner of Manchester were unexpectedly quiet, and everyone held their breath. As the commentator said, this was an opportunity! The best opportunity for Manchester City since the opening.

"Yaya Toure passed the ball! He passed the ball to Martinez, who was unmarked, so he could calm down but make a choice... Busquets rushed out, and Martinez was ready to take a long shot..."

With the changes in the field, the tone of the commentator also changed. With the voice of the commentator, Manchester City fans who were unfortunately unable to go to the scene and could only watch the game on TV also tightened their hearts.

"No! It's not a shot! Xavi Martinez deceived Barcelona's defense and sent the ball to the left. Now, Vidal is facing a Barcelona goal with only one person..."

Shoot!

Shooting!!

Lin Sen, who was standing on the sidelines, must have not expected how stiff his movements were at this time. He clenched his fists with his legs slightly bent, his eyes staring at Bidal's movements, even his mouth was slightly open, as if he was ready to jump up at any time, but it was frozen... Only a voice in his heart kept urging him.

Then, in Guardiola's solemn gaze, among countless nervous or anticipated gazes in the stands, Vidal, who had not stopped the ball, directly pulled the ball towards the goal...

Near the corner!

The close angle wins in strength, and the far angle wins in angle.

Valdes knew how to defend against this ball. In fact, when Vidal raised his foot and shot without stopping the ball, he decided that the opponent would shoot at the near corner, because if it was a far corner, the ball's requirements for footwork obviously had to go to another level.

Valdes judged the right direction and saved the ball, but he was not mentally prepared for the strength of the ball, so he made a mistake that he was most criticized.

Take off your hands.

Watch the ball jump out of his hand and bounce.

Valdes can almost be described as having a bloodshot eyes, because he is not unfamiliar with the figure standing in front of him, they are teammates, once.

At this time last year, he was wearing a red and blue shirt, but now he is wearing a dark blue jersey.

The ball jumped in front of him, facing this opportunity that was almost delivered to him, Yaya Toure did not hesitate at all. What he needed to do was simple.
Chapter completed!
