912 'Barcelona' defeated Barcelona in the most Barcelona way!
The score of the European Super Cup was finally settled at 3-2.
Manchester City narrowly defeated Barcelona with Sudong's crisp direct free kick.
Su Dong shot twice and passed, and Messi shot and passed. Both stars showed great strength.
Especially in the final stage of the game, Barcelona was one goal behind and launched a crazy counterattack against Manchester City. Messi frequently launched attacks. Whether it was personal performance or helping his teammates to shoot, he performed very well.
But in the end, Manchester City still maintained the score of 3 to 2.
When the whistle sounded, it was obvious that the emotions of the fans in the Louis II Stadium seemed to be frozen.
All Barcelona players looked frustrated, obviously dissatisfied with the result.
They definitely have a reason for this.
As the defending champions of the Champions League, they could have performed better, but in this game, they failed to do so.
…
"Hoho, you win again!"
Messi panted and walked towards Su Dong. After exhaling heavily, he took the initiative to open his hands and hugged Su Dong.
"Don't say that, you guys performed very well." Su Dong comforted Messi as he patted Messi's sweaty back.
After the two separated, Messi laughed at Su Dong.
"Stop pretending, you must be extremely happy right now. You can almost see your happiness written on your face." Messi stretched out his hand and gestured in front of Su Dong, as if Su Dong's face was really filled with things.
"You saw through it." Su Dong curled his lips and spread his hands helplessly, "Actually, now I want to tell the whole world that I defeated the best player in Europe. I am so proud! So proud!"
Messi was so amused that he laughed and punched him moderately.
Iniesta also came over at this time. This kid was not tall, and he bumped Su Dong's shoulder and arm directly with his shoulder, as if to vent his inner dissatisfaction and feel that he was a loser.
"Xiaobai, if you try to die again, I will kill you!" Su Dong laughed and scolded.
Iniesta really didn't dare to get closer, for fear of being caught by Su Dong, so he muttered sadly: "You can't wait to come back so hard?"
"Of course!" Su Dong said seriously, "I must get back what I lost."
Messi and Iniesta were both stunned. Obviously, Sudong was talking about not only the just-concluded selection of the best players in Europe, but also the Champions League championship and the subsequent FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Messi is always the top favorite.
"It seems that I have to work harder." Messi also said seriously.
Iniesta looked at Messi, then at Su Dong, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have anything wrong with him.
"To be honest, the most important thing is that Manchester City's boss is willing to invest." Su Dong said with emotion.
In today's economic environment, bosses who are willing to invest so much money are really rare.
Real Madrid, which invested heavily in 2009, did not invest any more this summer after two consecutive years of failure.
Not to mention wealthy teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United, Bayern Munich continues to adopt the cash-is-king strategy and manages its own three-acre land in a pragmatic and responsible manner.
Manchester City has invested heavily for many years in a row. After winning three championships in the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup last season, they also invested over 100 million euros in transfer fees to introduce Aguero and Hazard.
The powerful stars show that the courage and ambition of Manchester City's management are not just as simple as wanting to be the king of the Premier League.
"Manchester City's current strength is indeed quite strong, but in the final analysis, it is still because of your presence. Otherwise, the strength would not have improved so much." Iniesta said with admiration.
The superstar effect brought about by Su Dong joining Manchester City is still very obvious.
As far as last season was concerned, without Su Dong joining, with the strength of Pepe and Marcelo, they definitely would not have gone to Manchester City, but would have gone to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
You know, Real Madrid and Barcelona were also flocking to them at that time.
Without the joining of these two players, with Manchester City's strength, it would have been absolutely impossible to win the Triple Crown last season, and even a Premier League championship might not have been possible.
And even if they won the Triple Crown last season, without Su Dong in charge, why would Manchester City compete with giant teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern for Hazard?
Thinking of Hazard, Messi sighed reluctantly, "At the critical moment, we were conservative."
The Argentines are still dissatisfied with Mourinho's substitutions.
This is actually a major criticism of Mourinho from the outside world. He always makes relatively conservative decisions at some critical moments.
Just like in the 2-2 draw, the situation was actually relatively stable at that time. Although Manchester City had the advantage in possession, there was no need to strengthen the defense. Mourinho finally chose Seydou Keita to strengthen the defense in the middle.
Guardiola's choice is to use Hazard to strengthen the team's passing, ball control and offense.
To a certain extent, this is a reflection of the different coaching styles of the two head coaches. It can also reflect from the side why people, including Cruyff, have always been dissatisfied with Mourinho's coaching of Barcelona.
Obviously there are many people in the locker room, especially those who are direct descendants of Barcelona such as Messi and Xavi, and they basically don’t agree with Mourinho.
But there is no way. On the one hand, the chairman is suppressing it, and on the other hand, Mourinho's results are indeed good.
It is completely conceivable that after tonight, Mourinho's coaching at Barcelona will be questioned again.
The European Super Cup is actually not that important. What is really fatal is that Barcelona lost to Manchester City.
Su Dong and Guardiola can be said to be the two people that Barcelona fans and the media are least willing to lose.
Unfortunately, in this game, Barcelona lost.
Not only did they lose the score, they also lost in terms of ball possession.
…………
…………
Sure enough, the day after the European Super Cup, the Catalan media Daily Sports made the front page headline.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Barcelona" defeated Barcelona in the most Barcelona way!
The previous Barça was specifically used in quotation marks, obviously to remind everyone that this Barça is not the real Barça, but the orthodox Barça that many people have rumored.
In this focus game that attracted worldwide attention, both teams basically played in their own style. The difference was that the styles of the two teams were so close that they looked like the same on the court.
It's two Barcelonas dueling.
The score is three to two, with Manchester City slightly better.
This can be said to be a narrow defeat, but what really attracted the attention of Daily Sports is the ball possession rate, 54 to 46, a difference of eight percentage points. This can be said to be very surprising, and it also makes the Barcelona media unable to
accepted.
You know, in the past many years, Barcelona has never lost to its opponent in terms of ball possession. Even if it loses the game, it must beat its opponent in terms of ball possession and maintain its own style and tradition.
But in this game, Mourinho's team had been on a par with Manchester City for more than an hour, and the ball possession rate was basically 50-50. However, since Seydou Keita came on,
Barcelona began to change the team's style, and the ball possession rate also gradually fell behind during the change.
Daily Sports believes that in this peak showdown, Mourinho's team was completely defeated.
Not only at the tactical level, but also at the football concept level, and even the game process is the same, especially the conservative substitutions, which made Daily Sports believe that it goes against Barcelona's long-standing tradition.
Busquets proved the importance of the traditional No. 4 position with his stable performance, while Yaya Toure used fouls at critical moments to make people see his shortcomings in this position and gave it to Su Dong.
An excellent free kick opportunity caused the team to concede the final goal.
…
If Daily Sport was somewhat lenient, Cruyff was as sharp as ever in his columns.
The godfather of Barcelona once again criticized the stupidity of the current management in his column, because it has been five or six years since Sudong left Barcelona. Barcelona has changed the center position again and again, from Bojan to Eto'o.
He even brought in Ibrahimovic at a super high price.
“In the end, these players all became passers-by to Barcelona, and the team also lost huge transfer fees, but so far, no one has been able to replace Su Dong and satisfy the fans, even including the later local striker Villa.
"
"So, many times, we had to compromise and arrange for Messi to be the center position, making him fall into close combat with defensive players. This greatly consumed Messi's energy and physical strength, so he publicly stated more than once,
I miss the good times playing football with Su Dong very much."
Cruyff believed that Sudong's performance in this Super Cup once again proved the stupidity of the management, while Guardiola used the purest Barcelona football to defeat Mourinho's copycat Barcelona, which was a complete victory.
Exposes management's ignorance.
"Be it Sudong, Guardiola, or Busquets, they were once players of Barcelona and are very close to Barcelona. We can even say that in today's Barcelona team, if Guardiola is the coach,
, Sudong and Busquets are on the team, what a powerful situation it will be?"
"This is definitely a dream team that can dominate European football for many years and create the greatest football dynasty in history. But all of this has been destroyed and ruined by our stupid management."
“We personally gave away the best center forward in history to our opponents, we personally expelled the coach who was most suitable for Barcelona from the team, and in the end, they retaliate against Barcelona with a victory at the Stade Louis II in full view of the public.
"
At the end of the column, Cruyff still called for the management to step back from the brink, listen to the fans' opinions, bring back Guardiola as soon as possible, buy back Busquets, and preferably Su Dong.
"We have absolutely reason to believe that with Sudong and Messi teaming up, and under the coaching of Guardiola, Barcelona will usher in at least five years of its peak period. This will be the most dreamy team in the history of world football!"
