N-A-A Chapter 153
Chapter 153
Xu Ning missed the mature Neymar later.
Boys become men, they need time to baptize and they need to go through growth.
The glitz fades, and the true color is revealed.
However, now that he is an opponent, there is no need to think too much.
The game continues, but Barca's attack still seems to have little to do with Manchester City.
By the second half of the first half, Barca were a little unable to sit still.
In particular, Matip saw that Neymar's breakthrough was also limited, and he couldn't come up with a better way to deal with it, so he could only let Barca start attacking again.
Turning his head, Manchester City smiled.
The more Barca play like this, the more impatient it is, the better it will be for them.
Xu Ning's counterattack alone was enough for Barça to drink a pot.
Not to mention that Manchester City's overall strength is not inferior to Barca's, and the support provided to Xu Ning will not be less.
In the 29th minute, Yaya Toure made a successful steal in midfield and quickly split the ball on the left side of Nasri.
After Nasri and Xu Ning completed successive side cooperation, they distributed the ball to the feet of Xu Ning, who had already inserted it forward into the ribs.
However, this time, Xu Ning did not greedy for merit, but chose to return the ball to the front of the goal.
Yaya Toure inserted a kick that exploded, and the stone broke the sky.
Unfortunately, the Ivorian shot slightly above the crossbar and missed the goal.
Yaya Toure regretted the headshot, it was hard to believe that he didn't score with such a good opportunity.
However, he quickly gave a thumbs up to Xu Ning, and had to admit that Xu Ning's passing was really spiritual.
Originally, no one thought that Xu Ning would pass the ball, in this case, although the shooting angle was not large, but as a striker, no one would blame the shooting at this time.
But Xu Ning still chose an unexpected pass, which made Barca's defense useless.
And this scene was seen by Pellegrini in his eyes, and his eyes flickered inexplicably.
Xu Ning is maturing!
As the head coach who has been coaching Xu Ning, Pellegrini has always witnessed Xu Ning's growth.
Leading Malaga to a double last season, Xu Ning relied more on his personal toughness.
Unreasonable breakaways, unreasonable shots, plus a small number of teammates to support the pie.
There are very few times when you cooperate with your teammates, and even if you assist, it is just a flash of inspiration.
But now Pellegrini can see that Xu Ning has more team awareness, and his passing ability is gradually improving.
If it were changed to last season, Xu Ning would never pass this goal just now.
No matter how small the angle, it is a blast.
But now, his vision and sense of smell and consciousness have gradually allowed him to complete his transformation, and he is more comfortable on the field.
Even if he has become the first person in football, Xu Ning still has a lot of room for improvement.
Pellegrini didn't dare to imagine how terrifying Xu Ning's dominance would be when he was truly skilled.
In order to mention Xu Ning, Pellegrini specially called Xu Ning to help him review the situation just now.
Listening to Pellegrini's explanation, Xu Ning's understanding of tactics was naturally improving.
Just a good choice does not mean that he can make the most appropriate choice every time.
Back on the pitch, City's attack continued.
What was it like to hold Barça firmly at Camp Nou?
Bayern experienced last season, Málaga last season, and now it's Manchester City's turn this season.
In the final stages of the first half, Manchester City's three consecutive attacks threatened Barca's goal, leaving Barca fans like ice caves.
In the 39th minute, Keylor Navas's cross from the right flank was snatched by Sergio Aguero in the box.
Fortunately, Valdés was quick to react and make extreme saves to block the ball out of the goal line and keep the goal intact.
In the 42nd minute, after Xu Ning helped him draw the defensive attention, Nasri cut inside on the left and shot a shot, and the ball arced and hit the upright.
In the 44th minute, it was Xu Ning and Nasri who cooperated, but it was Xu Ning who shot last.
However, no one expected that everything would be like a copy just now.
Xu Ning's shot after cutting inside actually made a bad kick on the post, and the angle was exactly the same as Nasri's shot just now.
Even Xu Ning's posture of holding his head seemed to be carved out of a mold with Nasri.
However, although Manchester City regretted it, the psychological damage caused to Barca was even greater.
This ding-ding, you say scary no!
If it weren't for the goalpost becoming Barca's 12th man, or Valdés' contribution, Barca would have cooled directly.
How else is this game playing?
That is, Barça was lucky, and the score is still 0:2.
But the question is, can Barça's luck continue to be good?
Playing like this again, the second half may really be washed in blood by Manchester City.
So when they walked off the pitch at the end of the first half, the Barça players were all holding their heads and not having the slightest bit of spirit.
They were really beaten without the ball.
That is, Neymar and a few other people do not accept defeat, apparently because of the fear of not being dominated by Xu Ning last season.
Interestingly, though, the Manchester City players also seemed a little reluctant when they walked off the pitch.
Especially Xu Ning and Nasri, the two have just kicked the goalpost one by one, and they missed the goal, and it is strange that they can be willing.
"You deliberately learn from me?" Nasri looked at Xu Ning with a strange expression and asked.
Xu Ning had the same strange expression and asked rhetorically, "You think I want to?"
The two looked at each other, then sighed at the same time.
There is quite a sense of sympathy for brothers and brothers.
The other teammates are going to laugh, and it is estimated that the two copy the sticky goalpost will become the black history of the two for a long time to come, and it is also a topic of ridicule.
"I'll definitely give you an assist in the second half." Xu Ning thought about it and promised Nasri.
Nasri was very moved, and returned the favor: "I will definitely give you an assist in the second half."
Xu Ning shook his head, "Not necessarily!" I've already entered two! The
corners of Nasri's mouth instantly began to twitch.
Boy!
This is the show-off of the red fruit!
Inadvertently showed himself a wave, almost flashed his old waist.
This guy is also too much of a thing!
Nasri cursed in his heart and left, while Xu Ning laughed in the back.
Back in the dressing room, the atmosphere was still very relaxed, and the all-round advantage of the first half made everyone not too worried about the game.
The smile on Pellegrini was much wider than usual.
He can see that if Barca do not make fundamental adjustments in the second half, then Barca will not be able to pose a threat to Manchester City.
Soon, Pellegrini made arrangements for the second half.
But in fact, it is still a strategy that does not change everything, and the most is to emphasize the details of the game.
With the initiative in hand, it is so willful.
