Eight Hundred and Forty-Fourth Barcelona Collapsed!

After Manchester City beat Barcelona in an away game, they won a lot of applause, but there were not too many waves inside Manchester City.

After the team returned to Manchester from Barcelona, ​​it immediately ushered in the thirty-first round of the Premier League.

This time the opponent is the black cat Sunderland.

Gao Shen continued to carry out a substantial rotation, devoting more time and energy to the second round of the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals next Wednesday, after all, that is his next highlight.

Martin O'Neill's Sunderland used a three-back tactic in the away game to guard against death, and successfully blocked Manchester City's attack in the first half, but in the second half, as the players' physical consumption intensified, Sunderland began to support. Can't stop.

In the 52nd minute, former Sunderland player Jordan Henderson assisted Hazard to break into the left rib with a low shot, breaking through Sunderland's goal and opening the scoring for Manchester City.

After that, Manchester City launched a continuous offensive.

In the seventy-fifth minute and seventy-sixth minute, in just two minutes, Manchester City attacked twice. Hazard dribbled the ball into the penalty area forcibly. After attracting the attention of the defense, he assisted David Silva and Henry respectively. Dessen scored.

In the 81st minute, David Silva assisted Sturridge to score.

In the end, Manchester City beat Sunderland 4-0 at home.

...

April 3, Manchester Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City hosts Barcelona in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

What Gao Shen didn't expect at all was that Guardiola would completely overturn his first-round formation in this game, and instead adopt a three-four-two-one tactical play.

Yes, it was the set of tactics used in the last half hour of the second half in the Battle of Camp Nou.

The difference is that he replaced Vargas with Sanchez.

This was totally unexpected by Gao Shen.

Especially when he saw Thiago Motta, Busquets, Puyol and Pique appearing in Barcelona's starting lineup at the same time, he already had this premonition.

When he got to the stadium, he was really surprised to see the Barcelona players in formation.

"How do I feel, who is he angry with?" Even Carlo saw something unusual.

Normal people, who would adopt this three-back style of play when facing Manchester City with such fierce offensive firepower from the wing?

If Guardiola didn't have this understanding, who would believe it?

The only possibility is who he is fighting with.

Gao Shen also thought so, but he didn't know exactly what was going on.

Speaking of La Liga, after Barcelona's disastrous defeat to Manchester City, they defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home.

Judging from the current situation, it is not a big problem for Barcelona to win the La Liga championship.

After Guardiola lost the first round, he was indeed criticized by the media, but with his character, it is estimated that he would not compete with the media. The only possibility for this bet is from within Barcelona.

Such as the management, or the locker room.

But the locker room is also unlikely.

Then there is only one answer left.

Russell and Bartomeu are really the gravediggers of Barcelona.

The various actions of these two guys after they came to power have gradually caused Barcelona to sink.

Even though Roselle sounded like he was going to cut expenses and budgets, he actually did much more than that.

For example, the transfer of Neymar, which directly led to his ouster.

This is a confused account. How much money Barcelona spent has not given a clear statement from the beginning to the end.

The only certainty is that,

Far beyond what Barcelona announced.

As for what Bartomeu did later as chairman...

Not to mention, if you talk too much, it will make people feel that you are deliberately blacking Barcelona.

To say that these two guys fell out with Guardiola, there is really such a possibility.

"Regardless of this, let's stick to the old rules and grab a wave at the beginning." Gao Shen calmed down and didn't think much about it.

No matter how much he thinks about Barcelona, ​​it's useless.

...

The huge advantage of a 3-0 lead in the away game allowed Manchester City to completely relieve the psychological pressure and let go of the kick.

Especially Gao Shen told the players before the game, and tried their best to create goals after the opening.

This made the Manchester City players very excited. After the opening, they launched a fierce press against Barcelona. The players also played extraordinarily hard and the game was very unrestrained.

How bold are the Manchester City players?

Just one and a half minutes into the game, Harvey Martinez went straight to the front of Barcelona's penalty area to exert pressure and interfered with Busquets' pass. After Robben successfully intercepted the ball from the right, he decisively advanced for the ball , rushed into the right side of the penalty area, and then knocked the ball back with his heel.

Robben followed, inserted into the right side of the penalty area, and crossed to the penalty spot with his right foot, which he was not good at.

Suarez followed up with a push and sent it into the lower left corner of the goal.

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez stood to the right, unable to catch this shot.

One to zero!

It was another rushing goal after the opening!

Manchester City scored in the opening of both games, and both took the lead at the beginning.

One game can be said to be accidental, but this is the case in both rounds, it must be Barcelona's own problem.

When Suarez scored a goal, Gao Shen cheered excitedly for a while, and then looked at the coaching bench of the visiting team, only to find that Guardiola had been sitting in the coaching bench all the time, not on the sidelines, which made him even more puzzled.

He can almost conclude that Guardiola must be in trouble.

...

After Manchester City scored the first goal, their morale was like a rainbow, and they continued to attack Barcelona.

Barcelona also quickly organized a counterattack and formed a shot, but it was confiscated by Neuer.

In the 15th minute, Manchester City launched another attack.

Lichtsteiner and Robben on the right formed a two-to-one cooperation on the wing. Lichtsteiner decisively inserted diagonally to the right side of the front of the penalty area, saw the opportunity, and suddenly kicked and hit a heavy bombardment Door.

The ball went straight to the goal with lightning speed.

In the penalty area, Barcelona's central defender Piqué blocked the ball sideways. When it was impossible for his body to block the ball, he stretched out his right hand to block the ball.

The referee was aware of the details and immediately blew his whistle to signal that Barcelona defender Pique had fouled with a handball and gave a yellow card and a penalty kick.

The Barcelona players were furious and surrounded them one after another, trying to ask the referee for an explanation.

But the referee did not show any weakness, and kept signaling the Barcelona players to back off, but the emotional Barcelona players still stepped forward to block them, so the referee drew cards again.

Both Busquets and Alves received yellow cards.

The referee also issued a warning, if they come up again, it will be a red card immediately!

"Barcelona players should remain calm at this time."

"According to UEFA's latest rules, the maximum penalty for besieging the referee is a red card."

"Their actions now are indeed a bit irrational. They got two yellow cards for no reason. This will also greatly weaken Barcelona's defense."

Captain Puyol, Harvey and others rushed up to pull their teammates away, but when negotiating with the referee, the referee told them clearly that this was a handball.

"It can be clearly seen from the slow-motion playback that Pique extended his hand intentionally. The referee only gave a yellow card, which is actually very polite."

"Barca's players obviously took a chance."

"In the past, they often besieged the referee and profited from it. At the same time, they often profited from some controversial judgments, which led to some fluke mentality among their players, but now, it is obviously different."

"It's like Pique's handball just now is actually unnecessary. Even if Lichtsteiner kicks, he may not be able to score a goal. But now, he has a yellow card and a penalty kick. The gain outweighs the gain."

Robben stood on the penalty spot without hesitation. After the referee blew his whistle, he made a quick run-up and scored a goal for Manchester City overnight.

Two to zero!

The total score was five to zero!

It can be said that there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.

The loss of control of the Barcelona players just now also came from this.

The zero to three in the first round made them lose confidence, and now the only hope is to score more goals.

But now, conceding a goal first, and then conceding a penalty, it really broke them completely!

And the whole process, from beginning to end, Guardiola sat in the coach's bench, as if turning a blind eye to all this.

...

The first half ended two to zero.

Manchester City's possession rate is only 35%, far behind Barcelona, ​​but in terms of the number of shots, it only gives Barcelona one shot.

Yes, that time not long after the opening.

In addition, it was almost difficult for Barcelona to pose a threat to Manchester City and failed to shoot.

This was obviously very surprising.

Gao Shen is also very puzzled by this, but he personally guesses that Barcelona's current internal problems are more serious than external problems.

In other words, when the team's performance is not good, internal problems are constantly magnified, which affects the team's performance on the court.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Gao Shen signaled that the team should stay focused and patiently defend and counterattack.

But at the beginning, Manchester City began to attack.

In the forty-eighth minute, just three minutes into the second half, Manchester City won a corner kick.

David Silva sent in a corner and Kompany headed in past Puyol for City's second goal.

Three to zero!

After that, Barcelona's offense obviously lost confidence, while Manchester City played steadily.

In the seventy-sixth minute, Manchester City's midfielder steals the ball and instigates a counterattack. Robben dribbles the ball from the right and fails to break through. It was blocked by Thiago Motta when the curve ball hit the goal.

The ball bounced back to the penalty area near the penalty area. After Suarez got the ball first, he was assigned to the left side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale stepped in from behind and hit the ball directly with his left foot.

The ball slanted into the goal at an extremely fast speed and got into the bottom of the net.

Four to zero!

The total score was seven to zero!

After that, Barcelona was still trying to attack, and Manchester City also played several counterattacks after consecutive substitutions.

Even Yaya Touré, who came off the bench, had another chance to get an empty kick in front of the goal, but the Ivorian couldn't catch the pie falling from the sky, and didn't go in directly.

Afterwards, Yaya Toure was so angry that he beat the grass hard, full of remorse.

Gao Shen helplessly shook his head and smiled wryly on the sidelines.

If this goal is scored, it will be five to zero.

What a lucky score!
