Chapter 1033: I'll Come Myself
Ibrahimovic's shot was saved by Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, and Messi, who ran but did not receive the pass, was a little unhappy with Ibrahimovic's choice to shoot himself, and he stretched out his hands to Ibrahimovic to express his affection.
However, Ibrahimovic ignored him, and when he saw that Joe Hart wanted to drive the football straight out, he rushed up to stop him.
Ibrahimovic is well aware that behind him, there is a glory. Joe Hart must not be allowed to throw football to glory.
His interference worked.
Although Joe Hart wanted to launch a counterattack directly, when Ibrahimovic came up to interfere with him, he was not sure to throw the football directly to the glory, and since he couldn't launch a counterattack directly, then don't lose the ball at the back.
So Joe Hart took the ball back, hugged it in his arms, waited for everyone to exit the box, waited for the Barcelona players to return to their half, and although they lost a chance to counter-attack, the team's goal was not threatened.
Joe Hart's approach is fine.
Ibrahimovic managed to interfere with Joe Hart and then withdrew from the box, but as for Messi's complaints, he didn't see them at all.
He thinks there is nothing wrong with his approach, and as a centre-forward, it is natural that he has to shoot goals.
If you pass the ball to others, then don't be a center at all.
Moreover, it is clear that Manchester City's players have focused their defensive attention on Messi, and the pressure is very small, so why not choose to shoot on their own unexpectedly?
Who made it mandatory to pass the football to Messi in any situation during the match and let Messi shoot at goal?
Pep Guardiola did not dare to do so.
Ibrahimovic thinks that no matter what he does, what he just did is defensible, so he ignores Messi at all.
Messi obviously knew this too, so he spread his hands and quickly took it back. His complaint just now is not that Ibrahimovic must pass the football to himself, but that in the competition with glory, Messi pays great attention to every opportunity.
He knows that Ibrahimovic is reluctant to pass the ball to himself, then okay, then I'll do it myself!
※※※
Manchester City did not play a quick counter-attack, which made many people feel very regretful, and Manchester City fans in the stands were very dissatisfied with Ibrahimovic's actions.
But they can't help it, seeing that the good counterattack situation is gone, many people beat their chests, which is very regrettable. finally caught an opportunity to fight back, but it didn't work out at all!
If it goes on like this, Barcelona will still score goals!
Rongguang was originally waiting in the front court to play a counterattack, but Joe Hart didn't throw the football over, Rongguang thought about it, and felt that it was pointless for him to continue to stay in the front court, so it was better to retreat, so that he could still get the ball.
As for the retreat, it was even further away from the Barcelona goal...... Glory didn't think about it at all. As long as there is the ball at his feet, Rong Guang does not worry about the distance from the goal.
So he ran to the backyard.
Since you can't fight back, then control the football at your feet and push it slowly.
Even if he couldn't score, the goal would be safe if he let the ball stay on his side for a while, so Joe Hart threw the ball to Godin, the centre-back who dropped back to pick him up.
But as soon as he threw the football over, he changed his face and shouted to Godin: "Watch the back! ”
But apparently it was a little late.
Godin received the ball and turned around to see Messi rushing towards him.
Frightened, he reflexively stabbed the soccer ball to the side.
Just as he poked the football away, Messi's foot arrived.
If Godin had been a little late, the ball would have been intercepted by Messi.
But Godin's stab was a reflex, and he didn't even know who he stabbed the football to......
Although Messi didn't get the ball, it's possible that Messi interfered with him and allowed other Barcelona players to get the ball, such as ...... Ibrahimovic?
So where did the ball go by Godin?
Just now, everyone's attention and eyes were attracted by Godin and Messi, and they completely forgot about this stubble.
Now that I think about it, everyone immediately went to find football.
Let's see who exactly got the football.
Is it Ibrahimovic, or is it Lucio?
Neither!
Everyone was surprised to see Glory appear in front of Manchester City's penalty area, stretching out his foot to intercept the football that Godin had stabbed!
Isn't he a striker?
The first thought that popped into everyone's minds when they saw this scene was this......
Yes, Glory should be at the forefront and serve as the team's counter-attacking knife...... Why he appeared on the front of his penalty area, it was almost like a central defender.
In this way, how can Manchester City fight back?
The reason why Manchester City were able to keep their hopes of counter-attacking was entirely because Glory was at the front, allowing their team-mates to find someone to pass the ball when they wanted to counter-attack.
Now that the glory is back, how can you fight back? How to score a goal?
※※※
Glory certainly didn't have time to explain why he came here from the front court, and he stretched out his foot to intercept the ball and quickly pulled it behind him with the sole of his foot.
At the same time, he turned on the spot.
Just two metres away, Ibrahimovic made the same gesture to catch the ball, but he couldn't wait for the football, which was robbed of glory halfway.
If it weren't for the kick that Glory stretched out, it would have been robbed by Ibrahimovic, and then he could have faced the goalkeeper's hasty Joe Hart directly unmarked.
You can guess what will happen on your knees.
Looking at it now, regardless of whether the glory can still fight back and fight back, at least he saved his own goal once and let Manchester City not concede another goal.
But there is more to Glory than meets the eye.
Ibrahimovic turned his head and glared at the glory that had already swept the football out.
Messi also turned his head and saw the back of Rongguang turning, he also looked like he turned directly, but the speed was too fast when he rushed to Godin, and now the inertia is too great, and it is not so easy to turn around immediately.
He could only stare at glory and then fight against inertia.
By the time he had finally overcome inertia, Glory had run away......
He was unwilling to let the glory slip away from his eyes like this, so he gritted his teeth and lowered his head to chase after him.
Glory didn't know what was going on behind him, and he didn't care about that, he was now focused on moving forward.
Although it was not a good offensive opportunity, not even a quick counterattack, but Glory did not intend to give up.
There are a lot of people in front of him, there are Barcelona players and there are opponents of his own.
But in the eyes of Rongguang, there is no difference between them, and he wants to find a way from these people, a direct path to the Barcelona goal!
He doesn't care how many obstacles there are in front of him, if there are obstacles, then they are all under his feet!
※※※
Glory soon hit its first obstacle.
Xavi, a midfielder from Barcelona.
Xavi is not a good defensive player, his main job is to organize the attack, his passing is a must, but it is a bit difficult for him to defend glory......
So this obstacle is not a threat to Glory at all.
Xavi is also very aware of this, so he did not meet the ball at the feet of the attempt to break the glory, but quickly retreated, intending to delay the time so that more teammates can return to the defense, anyway, there is only one person in the glory, as long as our people go back, he alone will not have any wind and waves.
That's Harvey's idea.
The idea is good, but there is always a gap between reality and ideals......
Glory had no intention of tangling with Xavi at all, and in the face of the midfield maestro, he took the football to the side!
The ball rolled past Xavi, and although it was not far from Xavi, Xavi had no way to react to the sudden incoming ball.
All he could do was watch the football roll past him, and then the glory passed by him......
It's one of the ways Glory is best at getting past people, with no fancy moves and no extra dribbling, just a trip behind you and an acceleration to overtake.
Everybody knows.
But what about knowing?
Harvey knew that Glory would do this, and he still couldn't help it?
There is nothing more desperate in this world......
The speed of Glory is so fast that Harvey can't do it if he wants to.
His hand had barely stretched out, and the glory had already blown a gust of wind past him.
"Sakae-!! He passed! ”
John Mortensen's shouts were quickly drowned out by the cheers of the City fans.
This is the scene that Manchester City fans want to see the most!
Take the ball at the feet of Glory and move forward!
The Manchester City fans in the stands let out a huge cheer and cheered for the glory.
At this moment, the atmosphere at Manchester City's home stadium is terrifying!
Pep Guardiola got up from the dugout, walked to the sidelines, and looked inside the pitch with some concern.
The only thing he can console himself with now is that it wasn't City's quick counter-attack, at least because by the time Glory turned to dribble forward, the vast majority of Barcelona's players had retreated into their own half.
The deeper the glory goes, the less room he can exert himself.
What worries him is whether the Barcelona players will be too nervous in such an atmosphere......
In the face of Rongguang's menacing breakthrough with the ball, the most important thing is not to stretch out his foot to break his ball, but to stay calm and composed, and force him to slow down, if he can directly stop him, it would be better.
He set his sights on Sergio Busquets.
Barcelona's current main midfielder, responsible for the tandem of attack and defense, is also the only player in Barcelona's midfield who can still defend......
He wants Busquets to keep a cool head.
Don't be impulsive, don't be the first to strike.
