366 Hamburger Dance
"Good evening for everyone! The European Champions League group stage has passed halfway, and the situation in many groups is becoming more and more clear, but the trend of Group H in the Death Group is still turbulent. The fourth-level team Hamburg is now at the top of the list, Barcelona is 2 points behind the top, and AC Milan, which is third, is only 1 point!
Today we will broadcast the game between Hamburg and Barcelona at the People's Park Stadium live to everyone!
In the match between the two teams half a month ago, Hamburg tied Barcelona at Camp Nou 33. I believe the audience must be looking forward to what kind of sparks the two teams will create at the People's Park Stadium today!
The battle between Guardiola and Situ Yunbing has also become one of the most concerned spotlights in European football!
Okay, let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides.
Hamburg started 433 at home today.
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Boateng, Matuidi.
Midfielder: De Bruyne, Kante, Rakitic.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Griezmann, Reus.
Compared to the starting lineup at Camp Nou, Hamburg made several changes. Azpilicueta returned to the starting lineup, DeMel sat on the bench, Aubameyang joined the forward line, and Hamburg looked strong at home today!
Barcelona has not changed its formation today, but there have been many changes in the starting staff.
Goalkeeper: Valdes.
Defenders: Alves, Puyol, Pique, Adriano.
Midfielder: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta.
Forwards: Messi, Villa, Sanchez.
Guardiola made changes on the left side today. Abidal and Pedro both sat on the bench, Adriano and Sanchez entered the starting lineup, and Pique replaced Mascherano and Puyol to form the iron gate of the back defense.
I can't wait to expect the game to begin soon. Let's see what performance the two teams will perform in the game!"
Situ Yunbing is very grateful to Barcelona. When encountering strong enemies, he can always arouse his high fighting spirit and bring stimulation to the team's temperament and strength.
Just looking at the fighting spirit of the Hamburg generals today, you will know how much they enjoy this top-level battle!
The sense of accomplishment brought by challenging the king will itself accelerate the team's growth.
The People's Park Stadium was hustle and bustle. Amid the deafening cheering, the referee blew the whistle to the beginning of the game.
Hamburg took the lead in kicking off, and after Reus knocked the ball back, the entire Hamburg team quickly moved.
Barcelona's forward line came up, and Hamburg's midfield quickly passed and attacked the attack to the frontcourt.
Reus showed his excellent form in a fast dribbling on the left side of the frontcourt. Busquets was about to defend the side, and Reus quickly knocked the ball back diagonally.
As soon as Harvey turned around, he saw Rakitic rushing up and hitting the ball and moving.
Iniesta wanted to press De Bruyne, but De Bruyne stepped forward and splashed the ball and then made a quick pass.
Barcelona's back line is adjusting to the other side, because Hamburg seemed to be making an offensive transfer, but no one expected De Bruyne to pass the ball diagonally to the left in front of the penalty area, and the ball returned to Reus' feet, but Reus was about to break into the penalty area!
Puyol was about to step forward and defend, but Reus shot and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area!
Aubameyang rushed up without giving Adriano and Pique any chance to defend, so he passed the ball away from the right side of the penalty area.
The scene that caught his eye after Pique turned around was Griezmann's diagonally inserted into the right rib of the penalty area and turned around and shot in the air against the falling football!
The Hamburg fans couldn't help but widen their eyes and felt incredible!
This is the first wave of offensive just now!
Griezmann's half-turned volley shot hit the ball in the middle of the goal. Valdes quickly turned back to save, barely blocking the ball with both hands in front of him!
Puyol returned to the front area and faced his own goalkeeper and kicked the ball behind him.
"Omg! Griezmann's volley was blocked by Valdes!
Hamburg performed very strongly at home today!
They used an organized quick and fast pass to tear off Barcelona's defense!
The Barcelona generals seemed to have not woken up yet!
If Griezmann's volley was a little trickier, then the ball would definitely be scored!"
Guardiola may have been secretly happy when Hamburg's starting lineup came out, because Hamburg removed a defensive midfielder Demer from the last round than when he was away from Camp Nou in the last round. This means that as long as Barcelona take control of the dominance, they can easily break through Hamburg's defense line in the offense!
However, the performance of the two teams, which almost set the tone of the first phase of the game, has intuitively told Guardiola: Hamburg is in a stronger state today!
On the field, Hamburg not only performed actively in offense, but also the overall active counter-attack of the entire team on the defensive end!
In the 4th minute of the game, when Iniesta flexibly and quickly splashed the ball under Kante's powerful pressing to complete the breakthrough, Van Dijk suddenly appeared in front of him and stretched out his leg to break the ball!
Although Iniesta's personal skills can still achieve a small-scale escape, he no longer has room to observe the surrounding situation!
After being intercepted, Iniesta went to counter-robbery, but thought: Is it so pressed? Don’t you have space behind you?
Van Dijk's snatch seemed very dangerous. If he failed to intercept the ball, Iniesta made a straight pass and Barcelona got a one-on-one chance.
But today's burger, which is running significantly faster, doesn't think about this at all.
There is no foolproof tactic, and it is even more impossible not to take risks if you want to suppress your opponent!
Hamburg quickly launched a fast attack from the left, and Matuidi teleported the ball straight to the frontcourt.
Reus spiked the ball and cut across the cross while Alves harassed behind him. Alves turned into the inside defense. Unexpectedly, Reus quickly pulled the ball under his feet and turned around and broke forward from the outside!
Alves immediately turned around and chased back. Just after running one step, Reus picked up the ball and changed direction and cut across from Alves!
Seeing Reus finishing his inward cut, Busquets immediately rushed to assist in defense, filling the defensive space in the left area in front of the penalty area. Reus quickly shot the ball under his feet and hit the right side of the center.
De Bruyne rushed up quickly and dribbled the ball with the ball. After entering the offensive dangerous area, he passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area.
Griezmann made a forward pass and faced Pique with the ball, he took the lead in a sudden stop and pulled the ball to the left. Pique thought the opponent was looking for a free shot, so he quickly moved towards Griezmann. Unexpectedly, Griezmann pulled the ball and then pushed the ball across the right side, and crossed it with Pique directly!
The shot was empty, and Adriano rushed to the front and blocked the angle. Griezmann gently inserted the ball into the right side of the penalty area.
Valdes quickly abandoned the goal and quickly left. Aubameyang rushed to the right rib of the penalty area and shot the ball when he was one meter away from Valdes. After the shot, Aubameyang jumped up and rolled over from Valdes' lower body in order to avoid colliding with Valdes, because he had a sense of protection in advance. Although he was rolling on the ground, there was no problem.
Valdes blocked Aubameyang's shooting angle with his body, and the football was blocked from the sideline.
The Hamburgers fans at the scene applauded and cheered, and they saw the Hamburgers’ more aggressive performance after the opening!
Situ Yunbing clapped his hands on the sidelines and reminded the players to continue to speed up the pace!
Starting this season, it is actually a bit difficult for Barcelona, which has won two championships in the past three Champions League, because the European powerhouses have begun to be highly targeted at them in terms of their playing style.
It has both extreme defense and counterattack like Chelsea and Real Madrid, and also the hardlines in Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich!
If Hamburg used extreme defense to compete with Barcelona at Camp Nou, then when we returned to home today, Situ Yunbing used the tactics to try to suppress Barcelona in terms of rhythm, confrontation intensity and aggressiveness!
If it was Barcelona in its heyday, such a style of play might not work, but this season Barcelona was surrounded and suppressed in multi-line battles!
There is a sniper from Muslim Real Madrid in the league, and it is also the target of public criticism in the European game!
Guardiola's team is gritting the bullet and comprehensively competing with the European powers!
In terms of the original pattern, Hamburg also joined the ranks of challengers!
When Situ Yunbing returns to the Champions League, of course, he will use the strongest team as the challenge target, otherwise? Wouldn't he be back as he lives?
In the 8th minute of the game, when Messi received Alves' pass from the frontcourt, he was a little embarrassed because Alves was a rolling ball from Matuidi and Rakitic. When Messi touched the ball, the football was obviously a little far away from him!
This requires him to make adjustments. When he adjusts, Boateng has already pressed forward, Villa has stepped forward to perform an offside running, and Van Dijk is pressing forward to assist Boateng!
Villa is in an offside position!
Messi immediately picked the ball and cut across the ball and forced it to pass Boateng. Barcelona fans are looking forward to him sending a diagonal pass to Sanchez or continuing to break through!
But Kante made a first move in defense and stabbed the ball to Van Dijk in direction before Messi touched the ball for the second time.
Messi then hit Kanter's leg and fell to the ground. He protested and complained to the referee, but the referee ignored it!
Van Dijk took the ball in place and looked up to observe the situation ahead, then passed the ball diagonally to Azpilicueta's running line.
Azpilicueta encountered Iniesta defending the sideline when he was pushing forward. He quickly passed the ball in the middle. De Bruyne swept the ball across the left side from front of Xavi. Rakitic followed up and shot and sent a straight pass.
The football rolled to the middle of the frontcourt. Griezmann suddenly trolled the ball when Busquets came to press and accelerated to get rid of the opponent's interception, and quickly dribbled the ball into Barcelona's penalty area.
In front of him, Pique and Puyol closed the goal to defend, and Adriano also returned to the middle and formed a double-team with the two central defenders!
Seeing that the encirclement in front was less than two meters away, Griezmann suddenly accelerated while dribbling the ball and ran over the front of the football, knocking the ball with his heel back diagonally!
Very sexy!
Barcelona's defensive player looked towards the rolling direction of the football. What caught his eye was that Reus cut inward and hit the ball directly with his inner instep and slammed the ball towards the right rib of the penalty area!
Adriano quickly turned around and returned to defense, but Aubameyang obviously flew past him faster!
The football that fell rapidly in the air with strong internal rotation outlined a wonderful trajectory in the eyes of all the audience, but the small football has amazing magic power, like a vortex, sucking everyone's mind into it!
Valdes just halfway through the attack, Aubameyang volleyed with his right foot arch towards the falling football!
A clean and neat shot!
The football bounced up from his feet and flew straight to the far corner of the goal!
Valdes jumped and reached out to try to intercept, but failed to touch the football!
When the football fell into the upper left corner of Barcelona's goal, a shocking cheer erupted!
Aubameyang laughed and quickly stepped back to the corner flag area, while waving to his teammates!
Griezmann and Reus ran to him first. The three of them turned around and faced the front row of the stands, and then danced slow dance steps together!
The Hamburg fans in the stands were ecstatic, and the passion for scoring seemed to turn into carnival pleasure!
Even Situ Yunbing imitated the intoxicated smiles in the coach's command area and took dance steps under his feet!
Guardiola's face looked extremely ugly!
Chapter completed!
