80_80813 "Southampton corner, Tony O Kroos comes to take the penalty"

"Falling into the box, Varane heading home"

The whole Stadium was full of roars, and more than 70,000 fans couldn't help but exclaim Varane's header, which was just a little higher than the crossbar, and if it had been a little lower, it would have gone in

Raphael Varane clutched his head hard, frustrated by his failure to hold the ball down.

This header was too much for the angle

'Southampton started the game aggressively and didn't look like they were taking the mighty Barcelona seriously at all'

'The Barcelona players breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they didn't score'

But before the breath could be fully released, Southampton's offensive was pressed again.

As the game unfolded, everyone gradually became aware of Southampton's strategy.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos form a back pair and firmly control Southampton's midfield.

At first glance, neither player was very good defensively, but the actual effect shown in the game was very satisfying.

Barcelona's ball struggled to get through the midfield of Southampton.

At the same time, the passing and receiving of the ball between the two players is quite tacit, always keeping the right distance and echoing each other.

This created a steady stream of momentum for Southampton to press the attack after the opening, and planned wave after wave of attacks.

Vidal, who was more up front, was also quite active after the opening game, and was very active in both attack and defence.

Just kidding, it's Barcelona

Who doesn't want to show their faces in front of Barcelona and the owners and presidents of that group of big teams in the stands?

Neymar also looked quite excited, and after a drop back to receive a pass from midfielder Luka Modric, Neymar suddenly diverted with a big foot and crossed the field and fell to the feet of Gareth Obell on the right.

The pass was wonderful, the footwork was quite good, and Gareth Bell didn't stop badly.

As soon as it stopped, left-back Alba was posted, and Gareth O Bale took advantage of the situation to dribble horizontally and cut in, giving full play to the advantage of the winger's backfoot, and also attracting the attention of Alba and Busquets.

Even Pique in the middle has focused his defence on Gareth Obell.

But at this moment, Vidal suddenly quickly inserted in the back row and went straight into the penalty area.

Bale flicked the ball in front of Vidal, and the Chilean kept sending it forward.

I saw that Ibrahimovic in the penalty area had blocked Puyol behind him, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and got up directly.

Wow

The entire Sun Life Stadium exclaimed again.

But unfortunately, Ibrahimovic's shot was not corrected, and the result was skewed off the line

The Swedish centre-forward waved his hand frustratedly, but gave Vidal a thumbs up.

The teammates cooperated very well and gave it very well, but he didn't play well

But even though he knew that he didn't score, Puyol was still depressed.

Niang Xipi's are all grabbing me here to fight, is this a show that the carriage and horse are bullying me to be short?

Is there such a bully as you?

Although Ibrahimovic didn't score, seeing Puyol's depressed expression, he still grinned and laughed vigorously.

Something that makes your opponent feel uncomfortable is your greatest pleasure.

Especially when the opponent is still Barcelona

In the chairman's stand at the Sun Life Stadium, seeing that Southampton was very active, Ibrahimovic almost firmly suppressed Barcelona's two central defenders, allowing his teammates behind him to launch attacks as they pleased.

This made Barcelona president Russell feel very depressed.

The Swedish centre-forward was sold to Southampton at the beginning

But who would have thought that two years later, instead of falling, the Swedish center seemed to become stronger

Not only is it stronger, but it is also so active against Barcelona

It is foreseeable that regardless of whether Ibrahimovic will score in this game or not, early tomorrow morning, the world's major media will definitely use this old news to make news.

In these years, is there any more gimmicky news material than the abuse of the old master?

"Southampton's training system is really unique, and I don't think Ibrahimovic is at all like a veteran who is about to turn 31, and he is very well maintained," Florentino couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart.

The Swedish center once asked his agent to recommend himself to join Real Madrid.

Florentino was also tempted to take Ibrahimovic at one point.

But in the end, for various reasons, Ibrahimovic did not end up becoming a second Figo.

It's a shame to think about it now

If there is Ibrahimovic, plus a Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Kaka, plus Benzema, how luxurious will Real Madrid's attacking lineup be?

Yang Huan smiled silently, if there is anything unique about Southampton's training system, that is, it is willing to invest and attach importance to the professional advice of professionals, which is probably the same two points.

However, he can also see that Ibrahimovic is holding back his anger tonight to vent.

It's been two years, the humiliation he suffered in Barcelona two years ago, and tonight he must take revenge

But things in the world are sometimes so helpless.

The more Ibrahimovic wanted to score, the harder it turned out to be.

Southampton were not without chances, and in the space of just twenty minutes, Southampton had six very quality shots, four of which came from Ibrahimovic.

But as a result, either the shot was hit or shot crooked, which was really depressing.

The fans in the stands were so happy to see Barcelona and Southampton fighting each other like pinpoint, with Southampton even having a considerable advantage.

Where does this look like a Premier League promotion team?

Neymar on the left became the most active player in the game, and he almost threatened every time he got the ball in the frontcourt, but Gareth Bell on the right seemed a little silent.

When the game reached the twenty-fifth minute, Bielsa, who had been squatting on the sidelines and watching silently, finally couldn't sit still.

Stand up, walk to the sidelines, and direct the players on the court.

"Bielsa is directing on the spot, it looks like he is going to adjust his tactics, what are you going to do?"

"Oh, Gareth Bell moved to the left and Neymar went to the right."

"Let's see if Gareth O'Bell, who is back on the left wing, will improve."

Gareth Bell proved to be clearly more familiar with the left flank.

Southampton's first attack after switching to the left, Barcelona wanted to pass the ball to Messi, Xavi Martinez cut in and pressed Messi, and the header pushed the ball back into the midfield.

Toni Kroos stopped the ball with a kick and pushed it to Modric.

The Croatian midfielder took the ball and turned to face the attack, saw that Gareth O Bale had already raised his hand on the left side, and directly lightly stabbed the ball through to let the ball pass between Alves and Puyol.

Gareth Obell started quickly, like a sprinting Ferrari, forced overtaking with speed, crossed Alves, stopped the ball and stepped into the penalty area, grabbing a left-footed volley before Puyol could catch up.

Everyone in the audience let out a sigh, and the ball crossed the right post and went out of the bottom line.

But this shot made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

That's too fast, isn't it?

"Gareth Obel?" Russell was a little stunned.

Just now, he was at least one position behind Alves, but suddenly he forcibly overtook from behind.

This speed is too fast

Florentino is also eye-catching, this Gareth Bell's speed is indeed fast enough.

I don't know how it compares to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo? Who is faster?

As if stimulated by Gareth Bell's overtaking, Southampton's offensive accelerated again.

Barcelona pressed into the Southampton half, and midfielders Xavi and Andres Iniesta passed the ball back and forth from 30 meters away, trying to find opportunities, but Southampton suddenly increased their pressing.

When Iniesta knocked back, Vidal broke the ball, Modric and Xavi scrambled, and after the Croatian scrambled to touch the ball, he made a sharp stop, got rid of Xavi's pressing, and passed to Toni Kroos.

After a season at Southampton, the German's style of play is noticeably better than it was a year ago, but he was as steady as ever, not risking his way into two flanks, instead passing straight to Ibrahimovic.

The Swede blocked Pique with his body, faced the incoming ball and picked it straight to the left.

Gareth Obell faced Alves, and when the ball came, he stopped the ball behind Alves with his left foot, and then quickly started to plug it in.

Alves had been prepared this time, and had been following Gareth Bell to the death, not letting the Welsh get out.

But Gareth O Bale did not choose to be single this time, but used his speed to force a gap, and then made a diagonal pass with his left foot to pass the ball to the arc in the middle of the big penalty area.

Alves was stunned and turned around to find Puyol and Pique still near the centre circle with Ibrahimovic in tow.

It's not Ibrahimovic, it's ......

With this thought, I saw an emaciated figure on the right side rushing forward.

Although Alba's reaction and speed were also quite fast, Neymar still grabbed the left side of the arc and stabbed the ball into the penalty area.

To say that Alba's reaction is fast enough, and his body is also very flexible, as soon as he saw Neymar's movements, he immediately stuck the inside line, wanting to block between Neymar and the goal.

But as soon as the Brazilian player caught up with the ball, his body was naturally a feint to hit the goal with his feet as soon as possible, deceiving Alba to raise his foot to block.

But Neymar didn't play at the first time, but adjusted one very quickly, and then fired a left-footed volley again.

Two actions in a row, almost all completed in the blink of an eye, overwhelmed everyone present.

When everyone reacted, they found that the ball had rolled along a straight line towards the right post of the goal.

Then, the ball rolled into the goal line and slammed into the br> "goallllllll

With the whistle and the long sound of the goal from the on-site commentator, Neymar excitedly rushed out of the stadium and rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands, excitedly celebrating the goal

His teammates quickly caught up with him and picked him up

The Brazilian player's shot was so beautiful and wonderful

Alba was completely teased by him

"Southampton's counter-attack is equivalent to practice, and it is also quite exciting"

"We can see that Gareth Obel, who returned to the left, was very active and the assist was quite good"

'It seems that Southampton manager Bielsa should think more about whether he should play on the left side instead of the right side that he is unfamiliar with.

The atmosphere of the whole Sun Life Stadium was also completely ignited by the goal

All the fans cheered wildly and shouted loudly

Perhaps, many of them are not familiar with Neymar, but this goal made them all remember the emaciated Brazilian player and his magical footwork.
