Chapter 154 Zhang Yang vs Messi
No one expected that Manchester City could take the lead in the away game at the Camp Nou Stadium and scored so early.
"Goal!Goal!Goal!Goal!Goal!Goal!Goal!Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" Eddie Gray, a commentator of Sky TV, jumped up suddenly, and he shouted a loud GOAL sound.
After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang ran to the stands, and he ran to the stands where Barcelona fans were most concentrated. He beat his chest and then shouted at the stands: "Go to the devil's home court! Go to the Camp Nou! Remember! I'm here to conquer here today!"
The scene was very noisy. Although the Barcelona fans couldn't hear what he was saying, the Barcelona fans were naturally not fools. They knew that they were definitely not good things. The whole stands exploded quickly and booed everywhere.
Faced with this boo, Zhang Yang was fearless, and he laughed loudly, hugging Ronaldo and Modric who rushed over to celebrate the goal.
This game is broadcast live to all Europe and the world. No one expected that even the most daring Manchester City fans would not have expected that their team would start so smoothly.
Manchester City scored a goal just a few minutes after the game, and they are now leading Barcelona 1-0 away.
Manchester City tied 2-2 with Barcelona at home, which is an extremely favorable score for Barcelona! So, many media are saying that Manchester City's Champions League road this season has ended here, and, considering the horror of the Camp Nou Stadium, they think that Manchester City's away trip will be dangerous and may even suffer a tragic defeat.
However, the situation is that Manchester City started very smoothly and they scored early!
"Zhang Yang scored a goal!! This is his twelve goal in the Champions League this season! This goal is crucial! At Barcelona's home court, at Camp Nou! Manchester City leads 1:0! The total score is three to two! Manchester City leads the score!"
"We are all saying that Barcelona is leading pole position on the road to promotion! However, in this game, Manchester City told everyone with the goal that came early that they did not give up!!"
"This is Zhang Yang! This is the role of super star Zhang Yang! This goal is too critical for Manchester City!"
"The whole Camp Nou is booing to Zhang Yang! Barcelona fans don't like Zhang Yang." Eddie Gray continued to say excitedly, "This overwhelming booing is not just a booing of hatred, but also a booing of Barcelona fans. They are scared now because, they have discovered that they can hardly stop that person from scoring! Zhang Yang, he really seems to be going to lead Manchester City to a task that is almost impossible to complete!"
"Barcelona must come out of this conceding goal as soon as possible! The guys seem to be inadequate to conceding the goal so early!" said the commentator of Catalonia. "It's nothing great to be zero to one. We only need to score one goal to get the initiative back in our hands."
Barcelona was indeed a little confused. The players stood on the court at a loss and watched the celebrating Manchester City people. After the first leg, the media said that Barcelona's advancement was almost a foregone conclusion, which also made Barcelona players a little proud. Of course, they also have the capital to be proud. They think that since they can draw Manchester City 2-2 away and score two away goals, winning at home and at Camp Nou is naturally no problem. Therefore, in a sense, Barcelona is somewhat underestimated about the difficulty of this game.
Zhang Yang's goal was too critical, the players were so excited, Manchester City's celebration lasted for a long time, and it was not until the referee Merkel came up to interfere that they restrained a little and returned to their respective positions to wait for Barcelona to kick off.
Messi, standing in the middle circle, had a serious expression. This concealed goal put Barcelona in a difficult situation. The current score is that Manchester City leads the total score. Therefore, if Barcelona wants to ensure a goal, they must score at least one goal to equalize the score.
Equalifying the score? This is a must! However, Messi's heart is not only satisfying the equalizer. He is also extremely eager for victory in this game. He wants to defeat Zhang Yang and avenge the revenge he lost under Zhang Yang's feet two years ago.
Barcelona is the best European giant team in recent seasons. It is not a futile reputation for winning the Champions League.
Although I was a little impatient and confused by Zhang Yang's goal, I have never seen such a champion team? So the whole team soon returned to normal, and this concealment of the goal also prompted the team's offense to be more determined, because everyone knows that scoring goals as soon as possible and equalizing the score as soon as possible is the top priority at present!
The game continued, and the two sides were hard to distinguish.
Guardiola quickly saw that Manchester City was different from the past, because today's Manchester City is different from before. Mark Hughes's Manchester City sometimes gets out of touch on both defense and offense. The Welshman has never been able to handle the integration of Manchester City's offense and defense well, which is also a chronic disease that Manchester City has always been.
Perhaps it is the trend of world football, or perhaps it is Basten's glory in Serie A that deeply made an Italian-style mark on his tactical thoughts. To be precise, the current Manchester City team's tactics are defensive and fast counterattacks. Of course, this defensive counterattack is not Italian, and the offense is still integrated into the instincts of the Dutch bloodline. After all, it is impossible to change the style. Although this is only Van Basten's first game at Manchester City, if you are familiar with Van Basten's tactical ideas when coaching the Dutch team, you will understand that the tactical model he formulated for this Manchester City: strengthen defense and focus on balance.
Strengthening defense is reflected in Manchester City's more level of defense, which is not only manifested in the more active fight, but also an improvement in defensive tactics.
Focusing on balance means that Manchester City's counterattack is more sharp, from defense to offense, it is faster, faster and more reasonable when it comes to offense. It pays attention to offensive efficiency.
Among them, it is obvious that Zhang Yang's role as Manchester City's offensive core is not weakened by changing head coaches, but has been strengthened. Van Basten gave Zhang Yang greater freedom. Once the team turns from defense to offense, the team's offensive rhythm and routine, both open and secret, are the key points!
Or, to put it more bluntly, because Van Basten is still very harmful to the team's transformation time, but compared with a week ago, this Manchester City has some not very obvious changes, that is, the defense is more stable, while the offense is more sharp.
"Zhang Yang, he passed the ball to Ronaldo and Roni, he shot - he was hugged by Valdes! Valdes threw the ball and launched an attack, Barcelona's counterattack!! Their attack was very fast! Manchester City was returning to defense, but Barcelona's offense was too fast!! Xavi, he passed the ball to Iniesta, and Iniesta broke through! Oh, he passed Sun Jihai! Messi received the ball! He passed another person! Go away the shooting angle - shot! Beautiful! Johart grabbed the football firmly in his hand!"
"Manchester City then launched an attack. Joe Hart threw the ball with his hand and threw it towards the frontcourt. Marklele stopped the ball in his chest, and he passed the ball to Wright Phillips! His speed was very fast! Very fast! This speed - Keita could not keep up with Wright Phillips' footsteps at all! Passing the ball! Zhang Yang - he stopped the ball and turned around - Alves rushed out, oh! He knocked Zhang Yang to the ground! But the referee signaled the game to continue, Alves collided! He passed the football to Xavi, and Camp Nou cheered - Oh oh, Modric shoveled Xavi to the ground! The referee's whistle finally sounded, Modric fouled! Zhang Yang was protesting loudly to Merkel! He was verbally warned, and Camp Nou booed him. As long as it was Zhang Yang's behavior, Barcelona couldn't stand it."
The set piece taken by Xavi opened into the penalty area. Pique came up to participate in the attack. He flew the football to Messi. The latter first stopped the ball with beautiful chest and passed Bridge, and then completed the shot in a very narrow range. The football slightly missed the post! This shot shocked Joe Hart's cold sweat, and he did not react at all to the shot!
"Oh oh oh oh oh, Manchester City escaped! Messi is only a little bit of luck now! Joe Hart passes the ball to Kompani, the Belgian passes the ball to Marklele, and the French veteran passes it to Modric. Modric dribbles the ball forward, Zhang Yang retreats to receive the ball, and he is knocked down by Keita! This time Merkel no longer tolerate Barcelona's foul, Keita is warned by a yellow card!"
Seeing the referee Merkel showing Keita a yellow card, Guardiola frowned. Before the half-time game was over, the main midfielder received a yellow card. This was not great.
When the referee showed Keita a yellow card, Manchester City was about to send a free kick.
Marklele kicked the football to Sabaleta, who came to the wing, who dribbled the ball and advanced.
Facing Alves who came up to intercept him, Zabaleta made a pass over the ball.
Zhang Yang raised his right foot to stop the ball.
He steadily stopped the football at his feet.
"This stops the ball... It's a pity." Reinkell shook his head. Zhang Yang's stop was very stable. However, because he stopped the football to death, his next move was inconsistent. This also made Manchester City's offensive advancement slow. This made Leinkell shake his head, and he also saw that Manchester City emphasized the offensive advancement speed today, but Zhang Yang's "stop to death" this time obviously did not meet such tactical requirements.
Leinkell shook his head a little when he stopped Zhang Yang to death. Obviously, Pique also thought so. When he saw Zhang Yang stopping the football tightly at his feet, he immediately rushed over, because this was obviously a good opportunity to intercept the ball!
However, the next second, Pique's eyes widened because, just as he was robbing, Zhang Yang made a move easily. He poked the football gently with his toes, and the football continued to roll forward.
Being fooled! Pique's face changed! He had a bad premonition!
Immediately, this bad premonition was confirmed. When Zhang Yang poked the ball out, he immediately started. He accelerated from the other side and swept from Pique's left side! Pique couldn't stop because he snatched up too hard, so he could only watch Zhang Yang sweep past him!
"A man scored an unconventional man! He is so cunning!" The commentator was amazed at Zhang Yang's extraordinary moment and praised him.
"Beautiful! The man ball has been scored! Pique was defeated by this easiest way!"
"A chance for Manchester City!"
"One!"
After passing Pique, Zhang Yang broke into the penalty area, and Puyol was about to rush over to make up. Zhang Yang made an action to pass the ball to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo also had a "tactic understanding" forward. Puyol was shocked and immediately turned around and pounced at Ronaldo!
However, he didn't see the football rolling over!
Ronaldo also had a smile of trickery on his face.
This immediately made Puyor's scalp numb. He turned around and saw Zhang Yang swing his right leg quickly swaying down!
Football off the ground!
Puyol looked at the arc and looked at goalkeeper Valdes in front of the goal. This was Barcelona's last barrier!
Valdes flew to save!
He almost reached the ball, and Valdes even felt his fingertips touching the football, but Zhang Yang's shot was quite powerful, but the fingertips could not be stopped!
The flying trend of football has not changed!
He smashed it into the upper left corner of the ball net!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!”
"A blow to the great earth-!
“——Zhang Yang——”
The excited roars of countless commentators began to explode because of the trembling of the ball net!
Chapter completed!
