When the football flew into the goal like a light bird, Manchester City Stadium was boiling again.?

After several consecutive replays of goals, the camera once again pointed at the figure on the sidelines.

Not Linson, but Guardiola.

If the first goal is just an accident, and it is an accident that Barcelona doesn't care much about, then the second goal is a real blow and threat.

When Suarez sent the ball into the goal of his team in a genius way, not many people knew that at that moment, Guardiola had a similar trance.

Last year, it was almost this time.

Due to the eruption of Iceland, most of Europe was filled with volcanic ash. Barcelona had to take a bus to Milan, Italy to play. Then, what happened is well known. Barcelona eventually lost to Inter Milan led by Mourinho in the away game 1-3. Then, although they held back to home, they were still unbearable for the united Inter Milan. That game 1-3 became the masterpiece of the iron-blooded Inter Milan last season.

One to three.

Zero to two.

This seems to be a similar score, both behind two goals, but the latter is worse than the former, because the former only requires you to score two goals and not concede the ball to advance, while the latter means you have to score at least three goals and ensure that you don't concede the ball in order to advance. Barcelona failed to advance in the former situation last year, and now they have to face the more difficult latter situation.

Looking at Suarez, who was ecstatic toward his head coach, Guardiola suddenly understood why Lin Sen watched the game frequently.

It cannot be said that this is another conspiracy, but it is obvious that Suarez came on the stage with "thoughts".

Pique plus Mascherano, compared with Pique and Puyol, the two central defenders, have very similar characteristics, because Mascherano and Puyol are originally very similar, with strong fighting spirit, not tall height, but fast turnover, and excellent prediction and frontal interception ability... If there is one difference between the two, there is only one aspect, that is, the more "authentic" central defender Puyol will pay more attention to the position between his partners than Mascherano, who is a midfielder.

Simply put, a central defender is not a position that only needs to be at your own job, because while doing your job well, you must always pay attention to the position between yourself and your partner, one up and one after another, or the same as the same as the other when offside. This is very intensive about the awareness of a defender, and this is also the reason why some defenders can become the core of the defense line, while others cannot.

At this point, the tacit understanding and cooperation between Puyol and Pique is not comparable to Mascherano, who just joined this season.

In this game, Guardiola specifically explained to Mascherano in this regard before the game, because Pique himself is a player who likes to get ahead. This is his characteristic. In other words, when necessary, he needs others to wipe his butt. It should be said that Mascherano did a good job in this whole game, but Mascherano is a midfielder after all, and Guardiola cannot ask his "camera appearance" to be perfect. Unfortunately, the opponent is too cunning.

Mascherano's few "professional habits" were caught once.

Then, one blow is deadly.

Guardiola did not want to put all the responsibility on Mascherano, but now, he must consider his next step.

Eighty-five minutes of goals deducted the time for celebration. Even if stoppage time is added, the time left for Barcelona will not exceed ten minutes. Of course, ten minutes can do a lot of things, but will the other party allow them to do what they want to do?

There are two substitutions on both sides. In theory, one substitution is enough to take half a minute. If it is a little "shameless", it is not surprising to spend a little more time.

Almost as Guardiola was pondering, it seemed as if he was confirming his thoughts again. Lin Sen had turned around and drove all the players on his bench to the sidelines to warm up.

Guardiola's brow frowned immediately.

This is the case again. Those who are behind have not adjusted yet, while those who are leading have to start consolidating their results.

Just thinking about it, Guardiola had to "follow" the other party's actions and prepare for a last try.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two balls, zero conced.

The opponent is Barcelona, ​​and the game is less than ten minutes left. Manchester City's morale is high, but Lin Sen knows that he should stop at the right time. It is good to pursue the victory, but if it becomes a battle with the opponent, it will obviously not be worth the loss.

The last two substitutions of the two sides form a sharp contrast.

Manchester City, on the one hand, replaced Robben with Richards, pushed Sabaretta to the midfield, and strengthened the defense on the flank. The other is to replace Bale with Cahill, push Kompani to the midfield, and further consolidate the barrier on the middle. On the other hand, Barcelona replaced Keita and Busquets with Thiago and Hefferen respectively, almost giving up the defense in the midfield and completely defended with passing.

Guardiola tried to get a goal back at the last moment, but at this time, he was facing Manchester City, which was truly full-strength defensive. Although the bus tactics were ugly and had a bad reputation, it is undeniable that such tactics are the safest choice for maintaining the game situation.

After Kompany broke Xavi's pass out of bounds, the referee who had looked at the watch several times blew the whistle at the end of the game.

"The game ended! Manchester City, who played at home, defeated the visiting Barcelona with a score of 2-0. I wouldn't say it was an upset, but it must have been unexpected to many people. Barcelona paid the price for their uneven defense. Manchester City played an excellent game, especially their offensive efficiency was eye-catching. Until the end, Barcelona still failed to score a away goal. This was definitely a bad ending for Guardiola, but I believe that when they returned to the Camp Nou, they would definitely not give up their hope..."

Of course, it is impossible to give up hope. Not to mention zero to two, even zero to three, Barcelona will never give up hope.

Guardiola didn't hear the commentator, but he was sure of this. After the game, before Lin Sen, who was the "master", came over, he even took the lead and took the initiative to walk over.

The two hands are holding each other lightly.

"I'm lucky, aren't I?" Lin Sen's face was smiling. Of course, in Guardiola's eyes, he could add a sense of the smile at will.

luck?

Guardiola's mouth twitched, and by luck, defeated Barcelona?

Beating Barcelona is the thing that all teams in Europe dare not think about and want to do the most, because it is an extremely difficult thing. Of course, if successful, it is also a thing to be proud of. Therefore, Guardiola does not care about Lin Sen's smile. However, he does not intend to plead with Lin Senxu, so he only said one sentence.

"See you at Camp Nou."

The two head coaches shook hands and left, and did not walk back to the locker room, but walked towards their own team. Of course, the intention was different.

"Good job, Louis."

When he met Suarez, Lin Sen directly gave the other party a hug, and then patted the other party on the back.

Lin Sen does not often praise a player alone, but this is what Suarez deserves. In the whole second half, Suarez had limited opportunities and more limited opportunities to score goals, but he seized it once, and it was the most critical one.

Then, Lin Sen looked at Yaya Toure, who was "greeting" with his former teammates.

There are actually only two people who say they are "we", one is Keita and the other is Messi.

As for Xavi and others, although they are not strangers, they are obviously not enthusiastic about Yaya Toure. There are reasons for losing, and perhaps Yaya Toure's remarks after leaving Barcelona. In short, they did not take the initiative to say hello to Yaya Toure, but went straight to the player channel after the game.

------------

At the press conference after the game, Guardiola attributed the reasons for the team's failure to two points: one is the team's defense line is not intact, and the other is admitting that Manchester City's tactical changes were unexpected. As for the score, he seemed a little calm and said lightly, this is a difficult score. When we return to the home court, we will fight for the fans.

As for Lin Sen, who won an ideal victory, he gave all the praise to his players, believing that they played the best game of the season.

The two head coaches, one aimed at the second round, and the other attributed the victory to the players. There was not much to say about the game itself. The reason was not difficult to understand. This was just the first round, and it was a 180-minute contest.

Whoever laughs last will make the most sense.

However, this did not affect the shock this victory caused to European football.

What team is Barcelona? They are the best team recognized by the world, and La Macia is the best youth training camp recognized by the world. Their model has been considered a model for club development. And what team is Manchester City? Two years ago, they didn't even know what was in the European arena, but now, they have beaten the best team.

Of course, the game itself is not the focus, the focus is the role behind Manchester City, Jin Yuan Football, their victory is considered to be the victory of Jin Yuan Football.

For a moment, there were many different opinions.

But in any case, the English media is undoubtedly the most proud, because just as Manchester City beat Barcelona at home, and in another battlefield far away, Manchester City beat Schalke 04 with the same 2-0 away game.

The two English teams have an optimistic promotion situation.
