Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty-Two Outdated Stars

The key problem in Barcelona's offense is that Messi is being defended.

Messi only wanted to perform, but after the start of the game, he felt a tighter defense than the previous game. He wanted to cooperate with his teammates, but it was difficult to pass the ball. Rumer and Maurice didn't know what to do.

Barcelona's attack against Manchester City is desperate, they want to reverse and win, every player is very positive, Messi seems to be the one who's holding back.

In the 11th minute and the 17th minute, Messi was stealing the ball successively.

"Messi has been cut off again. This is the second time! He was hesitant to face the defense of Brumer." The Spanish commentator, who was looking forward to Messi's performance, said with some frustration, "Messi The state seems to have not been recovered..."

This is how it appears to the media and fans.

From the perspective of the audience, it is actually difficult to see Manchester City's tight defense of Messi. After all, Manchester City will only defend when Messi may catch the ball or have the ball. At the same time, other Barcelona players will also be defended. 1. The movement of the two players is difficult to notice. Only those who analyze the game professionally can notice that Messi is being defended very hard.

However, the media and fans will take it for granted even if they see Messi being defended very hard.

Who made Messi the number one star in Barcelona?

The No. 1 star will definitely be guarded by the opponent, otherwise what is the No. 1 star?

So the media and fans don't think about Messi's game feeling, all they see is Messi's performance is not good, and then they will be disappointed with Messi's performance.

Barcelona coach Rijkaard is sitting on the bench watching the game.

He kept his eyes on Messi.

Messi is a key player in Barcelona and a key player in this game. If Messi does not play well, it will definitely affect the whole team.

After the last round, Rijkaard found Messi and gave him a lot of inner work, hoping that he can pass this level.

As a head coach, he still appreciates young stars who have performed well. Although Rijkaard knew that he might leave Barcelona at the end of the season, he still encouraged Messi to get through it. He believed that, As long as Messi can get past the Manchester City defence, the future will be bright. Whatever defense he encounters in the future, he will be able to play very well.

It's a pity that Manchester City's defense is still a little too difficult for Messi.

He wasn't even 21 years old after all.

Many players at this age are still in the youth teams of various clubs, even those geniuses are the same. Messi is a genius among geniuses, so he can enter the Barcelona first team and become the number one star in Barcelona. Like other geniuses, he is too young.

Young, which means inexperienced.

Compared with those old players, he has too little experience, and there is obviously a problem with his mental capacity. Maybe he can get better with more experience, but it is still too early for him now.

Rijkaard sighed.

The Champions League semi-final is not a good place to experience young players. The team cannot bear the bitter consequences of failure. After 20 minutes of the game, Messi still didn't show much performance, so should he be replaced now?

Rijkaard hesitated.

For a head coach, it is a very difficult choice to replace a player after 20 minutes of the game.

But in the current situation, does dignity still matter?

After the game, those Spanish media, just say what they want to say, anyway, if they lose the game, they can't continue coaching Barcelona, ​​so they just fight!

Soon everyone saw a scene of surprise--Barcelona chose to make a substitution, Messi, who had always been flat, was replaced, and Ronaldinho, the Brazilian star who had not played for the team for almost half a season, was replaced. Play.

————

"Let's see, Barcelona has made a substitution and Messi has been replaced!"

"It was the Brazilian star Ronaldinho, who hasn't played a game for Barcelona since he made one appearance after Christmas! Now, when Barcelona is in crisis At that time, Rijkaard once again chose to trust the Brazilians, is this trust correct?"

Seeing Ronaldinho play, Wansheng was a lot more cautious.

Wansheng didn't expect Ronaldinho to play. The defenses arranged by the team are all aimed at Messi. If it is used on Ronaldinho, it will definitely be effective, but how much effect it will have depends on Watch Ronaldinho's performance.

If he's going to be the explosive Ronaldinho, then the team's defense is likely to be ineffective.

On the contrary... Of course, don't worry too much.

The next few minutes of the game proved that Wansheng's worries were necessary, and that Rijkaard's substitutions still worked.

Ronaldonho breaks through Brumer's defense twice in a row!

The Brazilian seems to have regained his peak form. He took the ball twice and hit Manchester City's defense line, which brought a lot of crisis to Manchester City's defense.

The Barcelona fans who came to Manchester with the team cheered wildly. They kept shouting Ronaldinho's name, as if they saw the world footballer galloping across the green field again!

Although there was no goal, Ronaldinho's performance has won the recognition of the media and fans.

"This is Ronaldinho! The world's top star! Even if his position in Barcelona is unstable, he can still bring the biggest threat to the opponent every time he plays!"

"Now it's Manchester City to watch out!"

"Messi is off, but Ronaldinho is in better shape and Rijkaard made the right decision!"

The Spanish media praised with some excitement, but they seemed to be a little too happy too early.

Ronaldinho did not bring goals for Barcelona. The next game also proved that Ronaldinho was not stable. When Morris assisted Brumer to defend, Ronaldinho Erdinho felt the pressure. Under the pressure of the two men's defense, he even 'passed' the ball directly to Morris after receiving a pass from a teammate.

It was a mistake, but it was fatal!

Manchester City launched a quick counterattack!

Maurice kicked the ball to Silva, who dribbled the ball across the halfway line and drove straight in at half-time in Barcelona, ​​only to pass the ball to Torres when Milito blocked it.

Torres takes the ball straight to the Barcelona penalty area!

Manchester City fans are screaming, they are excited to watch Torres rush into the Barcelona penalty area!

"This is a great opportunity!"

The stadium broadcaster Berbat yelled, "Torres! Torres! Torres! Let's see—"

There is no one who can stop the 'Golden Boy' in Barcelona.

The only one who can stop it is goalkeeper Valdes!

Valdés stared straight at Torres and calmly chose to strike. Just when the two were about to approach, Torres swung his right foot to finish the shot.

A very calm hanging door!

Valdés subconsciously raised his hands to block the ball, but it was more like a surrender action. The football jumped high above his head. He turned his head and watched the ball fall into the goal with a look of despair in his eyes.

3 to 0!

Manchester City lead Barcelona with three goals in two rounds!

Anyone can know why Valdes is desperate, because other Barcelona players have the same look.

After this goal, they were three goals behind.

Three balls!

They have not scored a single goal in the two rounds so far, how can they chase after three goals behind?

Manchester City supporters don't care so much, when the football flew into the goal, the stadium broadcaster Berbat had already yelled, "Goooooooooooooooal!!!"

"Torres! Torres! Torres!"

"Manchester City launched a quick counterattack! Torres helped Manchester City rewrite the score to 3-0. I believe that Barcelona will hardly have any chance!"

"Before the game, Wan Sheng said, 'Let the people of Barcelona know how they did not have a chance to reverse'. Many people thought that was arrogance, but perhaps, this goal is the answer for the player to replace Wan Sheng!"

"Manchester City has already led by three goals. If Barcelona want to eliminate Manchester City, they must score three more goals! At the Manchester Stadium, facing the tight defense of Manchester City, it is almost impossible to complete!"

"At this moment, perhaps it belongs to Torres who scored his 10th Champions League goal for Manchester City!"

"One season, 10 goals in the Champions League, I dare say Torres will be the top scorer in the Champions League this season, because the second-ranked Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has only scored 7 goals, and one of them is a penalty. …”

"Now we should say, congratulations to Manchester City!"

"But after that, we have to say, congratulations to Manchester City for reaching the Champions League final!"

————

Torres' goal is undoubtedly a huge blow to Barcelona.

Originally there was a gap of two goals, but now it has been scored by another, how can the gap of three goals be chased?

They see no hope at all.

Manchester City's tight defense made them desperate, and it was very difficult for them to even score one goal, let alone three goals, so many Spanish media began to play their "skills" again, that is... Find the reason.

Why did Barcelona concede a goal?

Of course it was because of Ronaldinho, because he conceded the ball, that gave City the chance to fight back.

So various media began to criticize Ronaldinho for his poor performance. They didn't think about it at all. Messi didn't perform well before, so he was replaced. Ronaldinho, who only played for more than ten minutes, Instead, he became the culprit in Barcelona's loss to Manchester City.

This is the difference between 'new star' and 'old star'.

Messi is a new star, young players, and any mistakes made by young players are forgivable. Barcelona is also willing to use resources to cultivate such talents; Ronaldinho was also the core of Barcelona, ​​the team's Number one star, but he's outdated. (To be continued ~^~)
