Until the game started, Guardiola's face did not look better.
From the very beginning of the game, Manchester City, who took the first kick, launched a fierce attack at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome!
"From the beginning of the game, Manchester City showed its attitude with offense! Manchester City, which participated in the Champions League final for the first time, just like an ordinary game, launched an attack without mercy from the beginning of the game.
It's like trying to defeat Barcelona in one go...Is this a tactic arranged by Dick? Or is it because of his confidence, and his unbeatable record against Barcelona that allows him to maintain such confidence?"
Dick stood on the sidelines and watched expressionlessly as the Manchester City players launched a fierce attack - he rarely talked about his undefeated victory against Barcelona, but at this time he chose to use it from the beginning.
Using offensive tactics to suppress the opponent also has the same meaning. From the beginning, overwhelming the opponent in terms of momentum is also a good choice.
The current Barcelona team is definitely not as strong as the Barcelona team in history. At least they are not the Champions League champions three years ago. They also lack the experience of winning the Champions League. Alves was intercepted by Dick midway, and their full-back assisted
There are certain flaws in the link. More importantly, after Dick coached the team, Barcelona almost knelt down every time they touched Dick. This was true no matter what kind of team Dick led. This is psychologically
It can also put huge pressure on Barcelona!
And now this kind of unscrupulous attack from the beginning has also aggravated the impact of this pressure.
"Ribery broke through with the ball! Beautiful! He rushed past Puyol... Foul! Is it a yellow card? No, there is no yellow card. The referee warned Puyol a few words, maybe because such a game is too important.
, so the referee did not show the yellow card easily..."
Dick snorted. It is no longer unusual for Platini to like Barcelona football. It is actually normal to receive a yellow card for such an action... But he is not as easy to bully as Chelsea. If the referee dares to play tricks in the final
If it goes too far, then don’t blame yourself for breaking your skin.
Ribery created a free kick thirty meters away from the goal, and he stood in front of the ball himself - there are not many players in Manchester City's starting lineup who are good at free kicks, but Ribery has good footwork and long-range shooting ability.
He is very strong, and he is a pretty good choice to take the free kick from such a distance.
After accelerating, Ribery kicked a rather erratic shot. Valdes rushed to the right and the ball was released. Di Natale, who followed up in the penalty area, fell to the ground in front of Puyol and shot!
Just when the Manchester City fans were about to cheer, Pique, who was guarding the goal, flew over and used his body to block the ball out of the baseline for a corner kick.
"It's so dangerous! If Pique hadn't saved the ball in time, Manchester City would have scored! Manchester City's attack at the beginning was quite fierce. If Barcelona's defense hadn't performed well..."
The Barcelona fans began to wipe their sweat. The offensive momentum that Manchester City showed at the beginning really made people feel a little scared. Dick, this guy, has always been the devil and shadow in their hearts. Although he left La Liga, every time
When encountering Barcelona in the European arena, he can always put enough pressure on Barcelona...
Manchester City's center back and midfielder Yaya Toure both rushed into the penalty area. Ribery's corner kick was blocked by Puyol. Vidal intercepted the ball outside the penalty area and then shot directly with great force. The ball flew out of the far post.
Bottom line.
Manchester City's attack came to an end.
However, to the disappointment of Barcelona fans, this time the attack ended, and Barcelona's offense failed to start quickly. Instead, Manchester City launched a fierce press and interception in the midfield, making Barcelona's pass completely impossible.
Achieve the usual smooth and smooth effect!
"Hell, why is this happening!" Guardiola couldn't help but cursed in his heart - this is incredible. You must know that Barcelona's offense has always been known for its smooth flow, especially this season, with back and forth passes, high presses and
Large-scale transfers to open up gaps were the biggest factor in Barcelona's rapid progress, but they were forced into chaos by Manchester City after a few presses - this is quite incredible in the eyes of Guardiola.
In fact, this proves one thing - that is, Barcelona does have a sense of fear of Dick, and when Manchester City showed this momentum from the beginning, their momentum was completely defeated by Manchester City.
It's suppressed!
Under Manchester City's almost crazy pressing, Barcelona's midfield pass made a mistake. After Busquets got the ball, he was immediately flanked by Yaya Toure and Vidal. In his haste, his pass did not go anywhere.
The pass was in place, and Torres, who was being defended, intercepted the ball beautifully midway!
After stealing the ball, Torres did not stick to the ball, but quickly sent a sharp through ball!
Barcelona's high-position pressing, with their three lines very close, hardly gives the opponent much room to move, and at the same time, it will also leave more gaps in the backcourt. If the opponent does not stick to the ball and makes a through ball in time,
If you add a fast player forward in time, you can form a single sword in an instant!
So this is the biggest reason why Valdes has become Barcelona's main goalkeeper. Maybe he is not the best goalkeeper, but his large control range, strong mobility and timely attack make him the most suitable goalkeeper for Barcelona's tactics!
Torres's through ball, while he was stealing the ball, Ribery had already cruised to a place almost level with the opponent's defense. After Torres sent the through ball, Ribery had already quickly inserted it diagonally, a beautiful
With direct pass and diagonal insertion, Ribery received the pass from Torres and formed a one-man goal!
Countless Manchester City fans stood up! And countless Barcelona fans screamed!
Valdes decisively chose to attack, and the timing of his attack was very good. However, after Ribery received the pass in front of him, everything turned into a tragedy!
Taking advantage of the situation, Ribery rushed past Valdez like lightning, and then accelerated the ball past Valdez. In the almost desperate eyes of all Barcelona fans, he raised his foot and pushed the ball into the empty goal!
"The goal was scored! In just five minutes, Manchester City immediately took the lead after a fierce attack! It was really surprising. No one expected that Manchester City scored in just five minutes! Dick
It’s really Barcelona’s nemesis! The start of this game is simply not like the Champions League final we imagined. If Barcelona collapses next, it may become the most boring Champions League final…”
Many commentators are complaining about Barcelona's performance, feeling that their performance is completely too poor. In such an important game as the Champions League final, they were actually suppressed from the beginning and lost one quickly.
The ball was really unbearable - "Instead of this, it would be better for Chelsea to enter the final. They can at least fight Manchester City to the end!" Some reporters complained.
Ribery ran on the court with his arms open. Although he had already participated in the World Cup finals, games like the Champions League final still made Ribery extremely excited. Now he opened the scoring for Manchester City. The knife on Ribery's face
The scars seemed to sparkle with excitement.
"Well done!" Dick waved his fist towards the court. This goal was expected by him. With such a high-pressure press, there would naturally be a large gap behind him, and Dick's offensive tactics at this time were
It's a bit like Mourinho's offensive tactics back then, with the center retreating and the wings breaking through toward the center. Of course, there are big differences in the details, but the basic idea hasn't changed much.
This goal focused on this idea, with a diagonal pass from the wing and a direct pass from the center, which instantly tore apart Barcelona's defense!
It's just that Dick knows that one goal is nothing, and more goals are needed next. Barcelona is being suppressed like this by Manchester City, not only because of strength and tactics, but also because of mentality...
Guardiola also saw this.
So Guardiola, who usually seemed calm and composed, when the Manchester City players were celebrating crazily, he roared on the field, then waved his fist twice on the field, and at the same time pulled the frontcourt player away.
Three forwards, let them pay attention to strengthening their offense - these three forwards are considered players who are less afraid of Dick. Eto'o scored in the Champions League final three years ago, and Messi was not the main force at that time.
, Henry had not come to Barcelona at that time, and they did not have much psychological pressure when facing Dick.
Such roars and roars have a great effect. Of course, the most important thing is that if they continue like this, they will be ranked second. For the Barcelona players, they are also very eager to win this Champions League!
And Eto'o behaved more actively. Although he has established his position in Barcelona, the lack of a Champions League championship makes him unconvincing. Henry also longs for this championship. He left Arsenal
When you join Barcelona, don't you expect to win the Champions League? Among his honors, he lacks such a championship...
With this in mind, Barcelona launched a crazy counterattack after the restart - and their luck seemed to be good, as they equalized the score after just one minute...
After Eto'o received the pass from Iniesta, he beautifully broke through Kompany's defense. He used his speed and technique to dunk past Kompany. In fact, Manchester City's defense did not have many loopholes at that time.
However, Eto'o was very decisive and shot directly from a very small angle. The ball hit Hart, who was standing a little outside, and then bounced into the near corner of the goal!
"...The ball went in! It's incredible. Barcelona actually equalized the score in just one minute! This goal was conceded somewhat undeservedly. Manchester City had no problem with their positioning, but Eto'o took advantage of it.
A personal breakthrough equalized the score! In terms of defense against Messi and Henry, Manchester City did a good job. However, Eto'o's unexpected personal breakthrough caught Manchester City off guard! Now the two sides have entered a stalemate stage again.
The next competition will probably be even more intense!"
Barcelona's goal made the commentators start to change their opinions one after another. Dick shook his head slightly. This conceded goal... was a bit unlucky, but from now on, as long as he continues running and man-to-man defense, then
