N-A-A Chapter 150
Chapter 150
Barca's first threatening attack since the opening was Neymar pulling on the left flank and Messi after successive wall-hitting cooperation into the box to complete a powerful shot.
Had it not been for Joe Hart's alertness and falling to save the ball, City would not have been able to avoid falling behind at the start.
Barca's opening raid really surprised the Manchester City players.
Their mentality is somewhat complicated.
While fearing Barça, he also thinks he is very powerful, so complex that it is even a little fragmented.
And Barca's attack, while shocking Manchester City players, also gave them a clearer understanding of Barca.
Very strong!
The strength visible to the naked eye must not be as easy as Manchester United's crushing of strength.
But to say invincible, it is not necessarily.
At least they still have absolute confidence in their own strength.
Xu Ning did not participate in the defense just now, so he observed Barca's attack from a global perspective and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Compared with last season, Barca's tactical thinking has changed faintly.
Barca started with a double back today, with Sergio Busquets partnering Mascherano.
This is an unusual arrangement.
You know, Barca's usual formation is 433, Busquets dragged behind, Xavi and Andres Iniesta in front.
But today the Barca manager put Andres Iniesta on the bench and switched to the starting double back.
This made Xu Ning can't help but think of Barça's tactics in the future.
The defensive counterattack of the pass-through version.
The midfield is solid in defense, and the front court relies on the individual ability and cooperation of Messi, Neymar and Suarez to solve the problem.
Such a tactical arrangement has allowed Barca to win the Champions League.
Of course, Barça is still just groping.
And it's still a championship puzzle like Suarez.
Perhaps, after Suarez joins next season, Barca can truly compete for the championship.
Unconsciously, Xu Ning recalled a little more.
Shake your head gently to dispel these thoughts that don't seem to have much to do with the game for the time being, and focus on the game.
Barca showed a hand, and Manchester City naturally wanted to return it.
Joe Hart kicked the ball with his big foot, and the starters Sergio Aguero and Xu Ning stabbed Barca half like swords.
Don't look at Aguero's small size, but his lower set is very stable, his physical confrontation ability is extremely strong, he actually resisted Busquets alive, and stopped the ball with his back.
However, Aguero also knew how powerful Busquets was, so he did not turn around rashly, but passed the ball directly to Yaya Toure, who came up.
Yaya Toure made a match with Fernandinho on the side after receiving the ball, dodged Messi's pressing, and then began to stride forward with the ball.
Mascherano greeted him, and Sergio Busquets watched the movement of City's attacking players and, instead of assisting Mascherano, moved slightly to the right.
Because Navas took over, he had to be on guard.
But at this moment, Aguero suddenly came to a counter-run, but withdrew from the front of the big penalty area to meet Yaya Toure.
Yaya Toure immediately passed the ball to Aguero.
Puyol had to follow along, not wanting to give Sergio Aguero a chance to turn around after receiving the ball.
But no one expected that after observing Xu Ning's running, Aguero suddenly played a flower job.
Made a realistic catch feint, but unexpectedly missed the ball.
Puyol could not react, and naturally it was impossible to intercept it.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Just as the ball continued to roll forward, Xu Ning actually appeared!
I don't know how to suddenly form a tacit understanding with Aguero, or blessed to the heart, he felt that Aguero might leak the ball.
So when Aguero went to catch the ball, Xu Ning had already started.
His speed and explosiveness dictated that it was impossible for Pique to keep up.
Without suspense, he took the ball first, whether it was Pique who caught up after reacting, and Puyol, who was chasing after Aguero, they could only follow behind Xu Ning and watch Xu Ning face Valdés single-handedly.
The Barca goalkeeper has abandoned the goal and tried to block Xu Ning's shooting angle.
At the same time, he also lowered his center of gravity to guard against Xu Ning's signature pendulum passing.
But before he could rush to Xu Ning, he saw Xu Ning rubbing the bottom of the ball, making the ball fly up like an obedient elf and streak over his head.
Valdés was horrified and wanted to jump enough for the ball, only to find that there was nothing he could do.
The ball passed over Valdés' head, as if following a fixed trajectory, and suddenly began to fall.
The direction is the goal behind Valdés.
Pick and shoot!
Facing Valdés, Xu Ning's provoking shot was as pleasing to the eye as a peerless work of art.
To the terrified cries of the Barça fans, the ball finally fell into the Barça goal.
Ball, scored!
Manchester City, who played 0-1
away, took the lead.
After scoring the goal, Xu Ning rushed towards Aguero excitedly and jumped directly on him.
"It's leaking beautiful!"
"How did you know I would cut in?"
Just this ball is indeed amazing!
Even 80% of the credit goes to Aguero.
Xu Ning couldn't even help but laugh, it turned out that he didn't come to Manchester City as a thigh, but to hold his thigh.
Zheko is very useful when working with himself, and can make it a lot easier.
Now Aguero and himself are so tacit again.
I don't even know who to choose as my partner!
It turns out that having too many reliable teammates around is also a happy trouble!
The teammates had already rushed over, surrounding Xu Ning and Aguero in the middle, celebrating excitedly.
They scored in the first wave of attack, and their attack was simply devastated, leaving Barca defenseless.
And with scoring so early, the initiative for the rest of the game will be completely in the hands of Manchester City and the game will be much easier.
The point is, this goal is so beautiful!
Even if you can't win the Puskas Award, you can definitely not be selected for the top ten goals of the year.
The Barça players were a little uncomfortable and were beaten a little dumbfounded.
Manchester City's goal was also a bit unreasonable.
So fast that they were almost defenseless.
If you lose the ball in the opening game, how will you play the rest of the game?
Their tactical arrangement is almost always to stalemate or lead.
Once they are led by Manchester City, it is really difficult for them to play.
After all, with Xu Ning, the state after Malaga led last season is almost the state after Manchester City took the lead.
Manchester City can take the lead in stride against all the counter-attacks of their opponents.
Fight back until your kidneys hurt!
That's why Barça players look so ugly now.
In the stands, Barça fans were so desperate that they were dead silent, unable to make any sound.
They remembered the desperation that had been frantically ruled by Xu Ning.
I thought that Barca brought in Neymar, Xu Ning left Malaga, and that despair will never appear again.
But now, the man is back!
