Eight Hundred and Forty-Three Barcelona, Do You Believe in Miracles?
Gao Shen guessed right.
After the Camp Nou battle, the Spanish media basically blamed Guardiola.
World Sports Daily commented immediately after the game, only two sentences.
"It's a game of missing."
"Messi was on the pitch but didn't see him play; Guardiola sat on the sidelines but didn't see him directing."
The implication is that the spearhead is directly aimed at the team's top superstar Messi and head coach Guardiola.
Messi's performance in this game is indeed regrettable, and he did not have the level that a superstar should have. When facing Manchester City's defensive formation, the personal ability that the Argentine is most proud of did not get any room to play.
The Daily Sports Daily commented: The game against Manchester City verified that Messi is fading his halo, and it is not enough to deter or even overthrow the opponent's defense.
Barcelona's mouthpiece believes that Messi's downturn has led to Barcelona's sinking.
There is also a very obvious gap, that is, the running ability of Barcelona players is much less than that of Manchester City. Messi is the one who runs the least among the main players of Barcelona, which naturally makes him more accused.
Harvey's run is 11 kilometers, which is not too bad, but compared with the peak period, it is obviously less.
And Messi is less than eight kilometers, which is a bit low.
In contrast, Manchester City's right winger Arjen Robben contributed nearly 11 kilometers of data.
Gareth Bell even came up with more than 12 kilometers of running data.
What's even more frightening is that the Welshman was still sprinting and creating threats at the last minute of the game.
From this series of data, it is not difficult to see that Barcelona players are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of running ability.
But the possession rate is extremely high.
Barcelona's possession rate of the game was almost 70%.
In other words, Manchester City's possession rate is less than half of Barcelona's.
However, the Premier League team used less than half of the opponent's possession rate to create twice as many threatening shots as Barcelona. The Spanish media believed that this was worth thinking about for Barcelona.
As for the head coach Guardiola, he was once again criticized overwhelmingly.
Especially for his starting lineup.
The Daily Sports Daily believes that Guardiola will not direct the game as soon as he encounters Gaoshen.
"He is like a coward, and he is afraid to go forward when he encounters a high level."
This Barcelona mouthpiece believes that Barcelona should show a more aggressive performance. For example, the three-back style of play after 60 to 70 minutes in the second half is obviously more offensive and more controlled than the four-three-three, which started smoothly and steadily. force.
"Obviously, Guardiola's cowardice made him afraid to make adjustments in front of a strong opponent."
World Sports News also believes that Barcelona's disastrous defeat, as the head coach Guardiola, "cannot be denied".
"There is no doubt that he should be responsible for this!"
"The start of the team was like a tragedy. Gao Shen and his Manchester City used an almost perfect victory to tell the world that Barcelona is not terrible at Camp Nou. Shame!"
According to the analysis of World Sports Daily, Guardiola always showed a lack of self-confidence when facing Gao Shen.
"In the last half hour or so of the game, it proved that three defenders are more suitable for Barcelona's current style of play, but Guardiola refused to make adjustments, which is very incomprehensible."
"There is no doubt that he is a great manager and brought out a great Barcelona team, but now, maybe Barcelona should reconsider,
Whether he can continue to bring glory to Barcelona. "
...
Compared with the Catalan media's accusations against Guardiola and Messi, other Spanish media have shown tolerance.
Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS pointed out that Manchester City's tactics have a strong Premier League style, including a lot of physical contact.
"The referee's enforcement at the Nou Camp was a bit too loose, which is not fair to Barcelona at all."
Aspen believes that according to La Liga's law enforcement standards, Manchester City's opening goal is illegal, and Rakitic should be punished for a foul, but the referee did not, which instead led to Manchester City's counterattack goal.
Editor-in-chief Alfredo described Manchester City's performance at the Nou Camp as an armored tank rushing into a downtown area.
"The referee, the linesman, the goal line referee, they turned a blind eye to many of Manchester City's fouls."
But Alfredo also has to admit that behind this is Manchester City's standard of law enforcement for the referee and the scale of law enforcement for the Champions League. What is behind it is the meticulousness and finesse of the Manchester City team in preparing for the game.
"Barcelona used to be such a good player, but after Guardiola's team was repeatedly reduced, they reduced the research on related aspects. Now Barcelona's control of the referee's law enforcement scale is obviously not as good as Manchester City."
Alfredo said that the 0-3 defeat at home basically sentenced Barcelona to death.
"It is almost impossible to advance, unless there is a big miracle."
"But Barcelona, do you believe in miracles?"
"Look at Manchester City's stable performance in the game. It is almost impossible to achieve a miracle in the hands of Gao Shen."
...
After a night of fermentation, Manchester City's away victory quickly appeared on the pages of the world's major media.
The British authoritative Times newspaper made a headline on the front page.
Great Manchester City! Very close to the semi-finals!
The Times believes that after defeating Barcelona 3-0 in the away game, the possibility of being overturned is very small. The key is that Manchester City is better than Barcelona in all aspects except ball possession and passing statistics.
This proves that Manchester City is more dominant than Barcelona in the game.
"Everyone at City was running fast, pressing like crazy."
"Roben and Gareth Bale kept sprinting and sprinting to interfere with Barcelona's defense. Suarez contributed 13 kilometers throughout the game."
The Times believes that Manchester City's big away victory came from the head coach's ingenious planning, but also from the players' focus and dedication, which allowed Manchester City to step into the semi-finals of the Champions League one foot ahead of schedule, and even reach the final. .
But the Times believes that this is not the most terrifying place in Manchester City.
"What's really scary is that we can clearly feel that this season Manchester City is stronger and better than last season, more than ever, especially in this current team, the average age has reached a very good level. state."
"The core players are in their prime, and there are a group of young talented talents like De Bruyne, Henderson, Jerome Boateng, Sturridge, Hazard, etc. in the team. "
The Times said that with the current situation of Manchester City, this team will continue to become an immeasurable and powerful force in European football in the next few years, and its future is limitless.
"This is the only team in world football that has the strongest lineup to compete with Barcelona."
The Guardian said bluntly, "Manchester City advanced to the semi-finals ahead of schedule!"
The British media is very optimistic that in the history of the Champions League, there has never been a team that has lost 0-3 at home and can comeback in an away game.
This proves that Barcelona wants to reverse Manchester City, at least in history, it has never happened.
The Guardian believes that this advantage is obvious enough, and even at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City is likely to further expand its advantage.
"Gao Shen and his team adopted a very pragmatic but quite threatening tactical approach."
"The scene seems to be behind, but Manchester City did not play conservatively. They created more threatening offenses than Barcelona, making the Nou Camp owner look more like an empty shelf with only possession of the ball."
The Guardian said that Manchester City is the number one favorite team in the UEFA Champions League this season. If Gao Shen can really lead the team to win the championship again, then Manchester City will become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League.
Gao Shen will also become the first head coach in the history of the Champions League to win four Champions League titles.
Either way, these two are making history.
...
If the British and Spanish media cannot be objective, then the media in other European countries have praised Manchester City's performance.
Bild believes that Gao Shen and his Manchester City are getting closer to defending the title.
The German media stated that this season's Champions League final will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, and Bayern Munich is determined to win this final.
"Bayern's management has reiterated more than once that they hope to win the Champions League at home!"
But now, Bild believes that Bayern's most terrifying opponent has emerged.
That is the profound Manchester City.
Bild believes that Manchester City is the team most likely to reach the Champions League final in its half, and it is also the opponent that Bayern should pay attention to next.
"Gao Shen reached the Champions League final three times, won the championship three times, and never missed!" Bild reminded worriedly.
Kicker magazine also believes that the sophisticated Manchester City completed a great game at the Nou Camp.
"The whole game, Manchester City didn't give Barcelona any chance, only conceded three goals, Barcelona should thank their goalkeeper Valdez, despite conceding three goals, he is still one of the best players in the Barcelona team .”
Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Gao Shen once again used an away victory to prove that he is the best head coach in world football today.
"Guardiola has lost against Gao Shen many times in a row. He has defeated countless opponents, except Gao Shen. This game is also the same."
Gazzetta dello Sport is very optimistic about Manchester City, and believes that the profound and rich experience will definitely help Manchester City reach the Champions League final again, and even successfully defend the title.
"They are now even hotter than Bayern Munich, who are playing at home!"
L'Equipe also believed that Manchester City showed the strength of the defending champions, allowing the whole world to see their growth and progress.
"Gao Shen and his team humiliated Barcelona in the away game. Whether it is the process of the game or the final result, it proves that Manchester City deserves its victory."
"In the next round, it may be difficult for Barcelona to comeback at the Etihad Stadium. Gao Shen and his team will reach the semi-finals and even the final."
"Looking at the entire European football world, who else can stop Gao Shen and his team from becoming the first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring?"
The French newspaper L'Equipe said that apart from Bayern having a chance, it seems that there is really no one!
