Chapter 724 Second Half

Sometimes the wonderful game is not necessarily because of the goals scored. On the contrary, the game will be so exciting if there are too many goals and not seen. The match between Manchester City and Barcelona belongs to the former.

Although both are full of the shadow of Dutch football, they are completely different. Barcelona's football master is in control, while Manchester City's football is simple and effective. After a few passes, it will inevitably attack the opponent's hinterland.

No.204 minutes, Messi once again staged a wonderful performance, but this time he didn't shoot the goal himself, but chose to pass the ball.

He broke through on the left and passed back to Iniesta, who blasted a long-range shot from the penalty area line and was saved by Joe Hart, but the ball still belonged to Barcelona.

Fabregas, the Barcelona midfielder actually rushed into Manchester City's penalty area without anyone noticing, but Fabregas's kick was really not very good. Even when no one was defending, the ball was actually missed by him.

No. 30 minutes, Li Feng finally ushered in the first shot of the game, a pass from the left, and Silva's return pass after a breakthrough. Li Feng directly kicked and bombarded the goal in the penalty area, and the ball flew out of the baseline through the crossbar.

No.303 minutes, the most controversial scene in the first half, Iniesta broke through the middle and was hit by Kompany, the referee did not give Barcelona a penalty, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Barcelona players.

"This is a correct penalty. Kompany did not foul. During the interception, the captain of Manchester City did not commit any foul action," the England commentator said without hesitation.

Of course~~~ In Spain, it must be a different situation. After all, it is the team of its own country, and partial gangs are unavoidable.

No. 40 minutes, Xavi also ushered in the first shot of the game, Adriano started from the back, and made a low pass, a low-altitude ball, but in the end it was not a Barcelona player, but Boateng, a Manchester City defender who made a clearance.

Falling under the feet of Harvey in the penalty area, the core of Barcelona will not hesitate, of course, the kick is a long-range shot, and even the level of this long-range shot is quite high.

It's just that Manchester City's goalkeeper is not a vegetarian, especially after seeing Valdez's outstanding performance, he jumped up and took Harvey's long shot with both hands.

Then Barcelona started a tactical corner kick, and finally Messi completed the shot, but Messi's shot was directly collected by Joe Hart.

Judging from the situation in the first half, Li Feng and Messi had no direct contest at all, and there was even very little confrontation in the air. Throughout the first half, Li Feng only had one kick to hit the goal, and the rest of the time was almost all creating opportunities for his teammates.

As for Messi in Barcelona, ​​his performance in the first half was not as active as before. In other words, Manchester City's defense did a good job, De Jong's task was completed very well, and Boateng was extremely good.

Although the offensive belonged to Barcelona in the last few minutes, the Cosmic team did not have a real threatening shot. However, even if there was no goal in the first half, the offense of both sides was still very good.

"All in all, both sides had a lot of chances in the first half, but luck seems to be a bit off. We can look forward to the performance of both sides in the second half." With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game officially came to an end.

Of course~~~ If this game is aimed at the names of Li Feng and Messi, then the performance of the two in the first half will definitely disappoint them.

What they want to see is the rivalry between Li Feng and Messi, not the overall offense of the two teams, although the offense of the two teams can be described as kind and pleasing to the eye.

Back in the locker room, Van Basten focused on the performance of De Jong and Boateng. On the defensive end in the first half, the two can be said to be the biggest contributors to curbing Barcelona's offense.

De Jong perfectly implemented the tactics set by Van Basten, limiting Harvey's passing route, while Boateng was not at a disadvantage no matter who faced anyone on the front line in the middle.

"In the second half~~~we increase the number of crosses, Feng~~Yaya, you have to attack the opponent's penalty area more." Barcelona's weakness is no longer needed, but Manchester City's crosses in the first half were not many.

Faced with the head coach's request, Li Feng and Yaya Toure naturally had no objections. Li Feng's height is not bad, but in Barcelona, ​​Li Feng is already considered tall, and Li Feng's physical fitness and jumping are quite amazing.

When the players from both sides came out of the locker room again, it started to rain lightly in the sky in Manchester, but the two teams were clearly prepared. Although the weather forecast is like a woman's mood, everything that needs to be prepared needs to be prepared. The two teams even changed their shoes in the locker room.

However, rain is always an uncertain factor for the game, especially for Barcelona. Spain is not England. The weather in England is estimated to be liked by not many people except native-born people, and Barcelona is pursuing control.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Barcelona reminded Manchester City that even if it rains, even if they are not good at fighting in the rain, they are still Barcelona, ​​and they are still the strongest team in Europe.

Yaya Toure's pass was blocked, Barcelona launched a quick attack, and Fabregas and Messi made consecutive wall collisions. In the end, Messi attracted most of Manchester City's defense and created a shot for Fabregas.

It's just a pity that Fabregas's shot was really substandard. With an anti-aircraft gun, the ball flew directly out of the baseline and into the stands.

For the goal kick, Joe Hart started with a big foot, and Li Feng competed with Busquets. Although Li Feng was much shorter than Busquets in height, he completely crushed the opponent in terms of jumping and physical fitness.

But the moment Li Feng headed the ball, he regretted it, because he found that Mascherano had rushed out of the penalty area. When Dzeko controlled the ball and wanted to turn around, Xiao Ma immediately stretched out his foot and poked the ball out of Dzeko's control. The ball returned to Barcelona's feet again, and another wave of fast attack.

Harvey, Barcelona's core center forward pass, Iniesta moved laterally to respond, Messi and Sanchez went hand in hand, "Danger~~~" At this moment, after completing the direct pass, Harvey roared, but this sound did not change what happened next.

Blue No. [-], just after passing the ball to Dzeko, Li Feng returned to the defense decisively, and finally rushed to Iniesta's side, and made a sliding tackle before his pass.
