From the Man Behind the Football King to the Football King

Chapter 706 The Most Handsome Guy!

"Barcelona paid a heavy price for its own mistakes!"

"1:2, Manchester United reversed Barcelona."

"This is undoubtedly a very painful blow to Barcelona, ​​which has been slow to open up the offensive end. It is not only a technical and tactical issue, but also a psychological issue for the players."

"Ter Stegen should be held responsible for this goal loss, because it was his stupid mistake that gave Manchester United an indirect free kick opportunity in the penalty area, which led to the goal loss."

"It is worth noting that Valverde has made two substitutions, but failed to improve the game. In comparison, Mourinho has not made any substitutions, which shows how satisfied he is with the progress of the game."

………………

Watching Bruno excitedly rushing out of the stadium and celebrating his second goal, Yosi felt very depressed. Because compared with Bruno's brilliant performance, he seemed very depressed in this game.

Not only him, the entire Barcelona team did not seem excited enough.

In the first half, for 45 minutes, Barcelona had an overwhelming possession advantage, but Yosi only had a pitiful 16 touches and 12 passes, most of which were on the wing.

Luke Shaw's defense was very frustrating. He mostly cut off the passes to Yosi from the center and the left. As long as Yosi got the ball on the wing, he mainly blocked his inward route and let him be active on the wing.

But the terrible thing was that Yosi's right foot could not play a threat at all.

Coutinho was isolated and helpless on the left, the midfield was suppressed, Suarez had not shown satisfactory strength, and Barcelona's entire midfield attack was almost paralyzed.

Yosi wanted to make a difference, he wanted to help the team, but he couldn't.

Before the game, many Catalan media had high hopes for him, hoping that he could lead Barcelona to eliminate Manchester United, because this would be the hope for him and Barcelona to return to the top.

Since 2012, although Barcelona and him still have a strong dominance in La Liga, they seem to have lost their magic in the Champions League and have not shown enough convincing performance.

Then, Barcelona missed the Champions League final for seven years, and Yosi, after winning the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year four times in a row, missed these two awards for seven consecutive years.

………………

Many people say that the past five years have been an era of the Big Three, but there are also many voices that Yosi is not worthy of the so-called Big Three.

In the past seven years, Yosi has not won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or. In terms of the number of awards, he has also led Ronaldo 3 times and was overtaken, and even the rising star Bruno has caught up.

2019 is considered to be the year for Yosi to surpass Ronaldo, because there are no world championships this year, so the performance of the club will be the key to determining the two major awards.

From the current point of view, Barcelona and Yosi's performance in the league is very good. It is almost no suspense to lock the La Liga championship. Yosi's personal performance is better than Ronaldo, and he is not inferior to Bruno.

In the Champions League, Barcelona will directly face Manchester United. This will be a direct confrontation between Yosi and Bruno. If Barcelona can eliminate Manchester United, it also means that Yosi has defeated Bruno.

If Barcelona advances to the semi-finals, they will most likely face Ronaldo's Juventus again. With Barcelona's strength, there is a great hope of winning.

If Yosi can step on the corpses of the two major competitors and return to the top of Europe, then the 2019 European Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer of the Year will definitely belong to Yosi!

All of this, the key is tonight, based on Yosi's ability to lead Barcelona to defeat Manchester United!

"Mundo Deportivo" even believes that tonight will belong to Yosi's night!

But the game has been going on so far, it is better to say that it is Bruno's night.

Or, this is a nightmare night for Barcelona!

………………

Yoshi’s helplessness is definitely not an isolated case, but the voice of many Barcelona stars.

They all tried very hard to show better performance, but with the tactical suppression, what they can do is really limited.

In this case, everyone hopes that Yoshi can turn into a superman like in the La Liga, break through Manchester United’s steel defense with amazing performance, and win for Barcelona.

But it is obvious that Yoshi no longer has the magical power of the past few years. He is like a magician who has lost his magic wand and lost his magical power.

However, Barcelona’s most threatening opportunity in the second half still came from Yoshi’s pass.

Suarez dribbled past Maguire and broke into the penalty area to shoot, but De Gea flew to save it.

After Yoshi got the ball, he broke through Luke Shaw horizontally and shot, but he was a little too hasty and was blocked by Cancelo, and still failed to score.

Judging from the various performances on the court, Barcelona has never been able to come up with an effective way to change the situation.

After Manchester United reversed Barcelona by two goals, they became more and more confident. The team played steadily and well on defense, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Barcelona's increasingly impatient mentality also exposed problems, and Manchester United soon seized another opportunity.

………………

"Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball, Sikante intercepted it and passed it to Fred."

"Fred got the ball on the right and chose to carry it forward."

"Manchester United quickly launched a counterattack, and the front three were all involved in the attack."

"Rashford quickly cut into the penalty area and opened up the defense for Fred."

"Fred reached the right side of the penalty area and made a direct cross to find Rashford at the front point."

"Rashford headed the ball... Ter Stegen flew to hit the ball out."

"The ball was still in the penalty area, Harry Kane grabbed the first point and headed it to the back point..."

...

Just now, when he was counterattacking quickly, Bruno saw Fred dribbling the ball quickly on the right, so he chose to fall behind. This was to open up the defense in the penalty area and to create a level of attack.

But he was also confident enough that if Fred made a direct cross to the back point, he would immediately follow up.

Fred chose to find Rashford at the front point, but Rashford's header was blocked by Ter Stegen.

At this time, Bruno noticed Harry Kane, so he quickly rushed into the penalty area.

Sure enough, Harry Kane had an overwhelming height advantage. Without a chance to shoot, he chose to head the ball to the back post, and Bruno came in at this time and got a big bargain.

Defender Alenya followed Bruno closely, and Lenglet was also constantly retreating, judging the landing point of the ball. The two of them, one in front and one behind, sandwiched Bruno in the middle, but Bruno couldn't help jumping higher.

Lenglet was only 3 cm taller than Bruno, but he was retreating, while Bruno had a run-up distance, so after jumping up, Bruno was actually much taller than him.

As for Alenya behind him, he couldn't jump at all.

………………

After jumping high, the ball came right in front of Bruno, and he quickly leaned forward a little, and hit the ball firmly with his forehead. The ball changed direction and flew directly into Barcelona's goal!

"Wow!!!!"

"Oh my God! The ball is in again!!!!"

"Hat trick!"

"Hat trick!!"

"Oh my God, Bruno performed a hat trick at the Camp Nou! This is simply unbelievable!"

"His jumping ability is really amazing. He is a head taller than Lenglet. The French central defender has no ability to compete with him and can only watch Bruno head the ball into the goal!"

"3:1! Manchester United has secured the victory!"

...

After landing, Bruno turned around immediately and rushed to the sidelines quickly.

This is the third time he has glided at the Camp Nou in this game!

At this moment, the Camp Nou was silent. The 95,000 Barcelona fans were silent. There was no booing, but no applause.

In fact, after scoring the third goal, Bruno was not too excited because the third goal came at a good time.

Of course, he did deliberately fall behind beforehand and then suddenly rushed forward, which would make it more difficult for the players defending him, but it was indeed a bit of a coincidence. The opportunity created by his teammates was too good to miss.

Perhaps because he celebrated three times, or perhaps because the goal came too easily, Bruno was not as excited as the previous two times. He just ran to the sidelines, waved, turned around, and hugged his teammates who caught up with him.

………………

"Barcelona suffered a complete defeat!"

"This is definitely an unacceptable fact, but Manchester United did perform better and more actively in this game. Especially Bruno, he performed a hat trick at the Camp Nou!"

"Valverde should reflect on his tactics, because Coutinho and Yosi were obviously restricted by Manchester United in this game, but as the team's head coach, several substitutions and adjustments failed to change the offensive situation in the frontcourt after coming on the court. This is absolutely unqualified!"

"From 1:0 to 1:3, Barcelona suffered a nightmare reversal, especially at the Camp Nou. It can almost be said that it has completely ruined Barcelona's possibility of advancing to the semi-finals."

"But no matter what, there is still the second round of the game. As long as Valverde can find the strongest Barcelona, ​​everything will be unknown."

"Looking at Manchester United, Mourinho's tactical attainments are indeed admirable. He suppressed Barcelona almost throughout the game, and Bruno's good condition is even more shocking. This hat trick tonight is the best example!"
