I don't just score goals

June 6th.

Berlin, Germany.

Olympic Stadium.

As night falls, the lanterns come on.

Fans of Manchester City and Barcelona entered the stadium early, and the crowd was buzzing.

After the theatrical performances before the Champions League final, fans of both teams pulled up banners and held up slogans in the stands. Fanatic scenes of flag-waving and cheering could be seen everywhere.

In terms of momentum, the fans of the two teams were equally matched.

The annual peak showdown in European football, the battle of the kings is about to take place.

In the player tunnel, players from Manchester City and Barcelona arrived one after another and lined up to prepare for the game.

Messi exchanged greetings with Masked Man Aguero, and then nodded to Hao Qiang.

This giant battle has been exaggerated by the media.

It seems that the winner will be immortal and the loser will become worthless.

Emotions can lead to extremes.

The starting players of both teams appeared on the stage, each with a heroic appearance and a fighting spirit.

The cheers from the fans were deafening.

Spectacular scenes can be seen everywhere in the stands.

"Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany.

The two teams that have reached the Champions League finals this season are Barcelona, ​​a giant from Spain, and Manchester City, a dark horse from England!

As Barcelona is recognized as the strongest team on the planet, it is not surprising that they entered the final.

The msn combination of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez is so powerful that no team can withstand their impact.

Manchester City, which has reached the Champions League final for the first time in team history, has Hao Qiang, a super goal-scoring machine who has already broken the Champions League single-season scoring record.

It is worth mentioning that the previous Champions League single-season scoring record was set by Hao Qiang while playing for Naples.

It can be said that the first and second records for this honor belong to Hao Qiang.

Manchester City's Hao Qiang and Aguero are equally astonishingly efficient.

The two teams met in the last 16 of the Champions League last year, with Manchester City ultimately eliminated by Barcelona.

It can be said that on a psychological level, Barcelona has certain advantages.

However, it is difficult to predict who will win in today's single-game decider. Let's see who of the two teams can perform better in the game and use their strength to reach the top of Europe.

Barcelona started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba.

Midfielder: Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic.

Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Neymar.

Manchester City started 4312.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy.

Midfielder: Milner, Silva, Fernando, Fernandinho.

Forwards: Hao Qiang, Aguero.

Today there will definitely be a team that dominates the world, and there will definitely be a team that will leave with tears of disappointment in its eyes.

Let us wait and see whether Manchester City, the upstart in European football, will become the Champions League champion club, or Barcelona will achieve greater glory!"

Barcelona's system was brought into order under Enrique's guidance.

Since Guardiola left, Vilanova has continued the tiki-taka passing and control system. However, due to Vilanova's lack of on-the-spot adaptability, the team's lineup also has problems with upgrading, coupled with his personal health reasons

, ultimately failed to lead Barcelona to new heights.

Since then, Martino has only exacerbated Barcelona's chaos and internal conflicts.

Conspiracy theories abound.

But it was different in Enrique's era.

Enrique played for Barcelona for a long time as a Real Madrid rebel during his playing days.

With a background in Barcelona, ​​he is better able to understand and use the passing and controlling system.

With the arrival of Suarez and Neymar adapting to the rhythm and intensity of European football, the msn combination has shined this season.

In the eyes of many fans, this striker is absolutely perfect.

And Barcelona will definitely use passing and controlling tactics to deal with Manchester City today.

Therefore, Pellegrini did not dare to play Navas in the starting lineup.

Add a defensive midfielder.

The 3-midfielder system itself is not to absolutely block the center, but to enhance the mobility of the defensive midfielder.

Fernandinho assists Clichy to block Messi.

Milner assists Zabaleta to block Neymar.

It is difficult to say that it is foolproof, but after all, we must strive to nip visible threats in the bud.

As for whether Hao Qiang and Aguero should play as a double forward, Pellegrini didn't mention a word. It all depends on Hao Qiang's personal freedom.

After the game started, Barcelona controlled the ball smoothly and freely.

Manchester City's formation shrunk and they devoted themselves entirely to defense.

Barcelona's possession of the ball is unparalleled.

But if they deal with them, whether Manchester City has been beaten or is preparing for the game, they should know that they must first contain the opponent's offensive space.

Otherwise, whether it is the opponent's passing and cutting cooperation, personal breakthroughs, or penetrating through balls, Manchester City will probably die without a place to die.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Messi shifted the offensive after being restrained on the right. Iniesta received a pass from the center and Rakitic quickly shifted the offensive to the left.

Alba's assist came up and he surged forward, and Manchester City's defense retreated further.

Neymar cut inside to meet Alba's inverted triangle return pass.

When faced with Milner's pressing, he pulled the ball with his feet and changed directions to get rid of it very flexibly and elegantly. He turned inside and saw Fernando again. The fried meatballs had just been made under his feet, and something unexpected happened to him.

Hao Qiang suddenly came out from behind, causing his ball protection to become shaky during the confrontation.

When the ball was forced to come out, Kompany stepped forward and intercepted the ball.

Neymar immediately launched a counterattack, but Kompany decisively passed the ball to find Silva.

Neymar turned around and saw that Hao Qiang, who had almost intercepted the ball directly from him, had already moved forward.

He was left with a thick and oppressive back!

Everyone in Barcelona told him that Hao Qiang was outrageous.

But only after fighting in person will he know that this outrageousness will definitely impact his nerves.

He is obviously a super center, the first striker in the world that no one in European football doubts.

But he is willing to do dirty work, and even makes people think that he is happy with it.

Don't understand.

It seems that he does not have the integrity and reserve of a forward.

In Brazil, there are almost no forwards who can score goals who can do this kind of job.

Brazilian centers like Diego Costa are also looked down upon by the Brazilian national team.

Therefore, Hao Qiang is outrageous.

When Manchester City's fast break moves forward, due to the lack of timely response from the wing, it can only go to the middle, and it is easy to be surrounded by opponents.

After Hao Qiang and Silva hit the wall one after another and cooperated, Hao Qiang changed direction and completed the breakthrough.

When Rakitic turned around, he was blocked by Hao Qiang and almost lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Rakitic seemed to feel the crushing of the steel behemoth!

Hao Qiang, who is nicknamed the Human Tank, does not have so many bells and whistles when dribbling. He is simple and unpretentious, but he combines physical condition and ball control to the extreme.

As long as there is no strong opponent blocking his way, I am afraid no one can stop him.

Unless he is caught in an encirclement and suppression, and someone unexpectedly comes to attack him from all directions, he will also be in a situation where it is difficult for him to fight with two fists.

So Busquets came to him.

At this time, Hao Qiang passed the ball to Silva who was advancing forward.

Alves helped defend and came to the center, and Silva quickly passed the ball to Aguero.

Aguero, the masked man, suddenly changed direction while running in front of the penalty area. In response to Silva's pass, he suddenly accelerated towards the center of the penalty area.

Pique and Mascherano immediately closed the door to defend.

Aguero was blocked and ultimately failed to shoot.

Ter Stegen struck out and confiscated the ball.

Manchester City fans were not disappointed and immediately applauded to encourage the team.

Barcelona organized their offensive slowly again, and they did not dare to increase the pace quickly.

Because Premier League teams are good at playing at a fast pace, the faster it is, the more disadvantageous it is to them.

After all, they have gradually formed an oppressive situation. Once they get up quickly, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no obvious flaws in the defense line.

Compared with Neymar's bravery, other Barcelona players are still experienced and do not have too many personal dribbling and breakthrough operations. Simple and quick passes are more practical.

When Suarez came to the right to assist Messi, everyone thought Messi would switch positions with Suarez and cut in the middle of the penalty area.

After all, Messi has played as a false 9 for a long time in the past few years, even playing this role when he scored 50 goals in the season.

Hao Qiang and Aguero often do this kind of switching of positions.

There is no technical difficulty, it only tests the tacit understanding of coordination and grasp of rhythm.

But when Messi moved in and drove the Manchester City defense to focus on containment, Suarez did not pass the ball to him from the wing, but instead passed the ball back.

After all, Suarez is a terminator, so it is a bit difficult for him to send out wonderful passes in difficult situations.

Even if it was Messi, he was unsure about passing the ball and chose to pass it back safely.

Iniesta moved the ball directly to the left in a wide range.

Neymar cut inside, but the ball was controlled by Alba on the wing.

After a continuous stop, he passed the ball diagonally into the space behind Zabaleta.

Zabaleta did not realize that Manchester City's two central defenders had distanced themselves from him in order to block Messi.

This resulted in an obvious gap behind him.

Neymar cut inside to take advantage of the depth of the attack. When Kompany came to block his passing line, Messi moved to outflank the center.

Suarez responds from a distance.

Fernando and Demichelis tried their best to block Messi.

Suarez, who was far away, was marked by Fernandinho's back defense.

But what is unexpected is that Nerma did not pass the ball, but knocked the ball behind him and retreated.

He happened to dodge the pressure from Zabaleta's return defense.

Then he passed back in an inverted triangle facing outside the penalty area.

I saw Rakitic running into the penalty area. As soon as he entered the penalty area, he met the pass from Neymar and blasted the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

Joe Hart has absolutely nothing to do with this kind of ball.

Maybe even a world-class goalkeeper wouldn't be able to do anything.

Berlin's Olympiastadion shook!

"The ball went in! Barcelona took the lead in the first 6 minutes!

Neymar assisted Rakitic to score. This shot was impeccable. Barcelona's teamwork was wonderful!

Manchester City encounters a nightmare start!

In terms of the overall strength of the team, Manchester City is obviously not Barcelona's opponent.

The next game will be a great test for Manchester City.

I hope they can withstand the pressure."

Barcelona fans celebrate wildly.

Amidst the cheers, I suddenly felt happy and relaxed a lot.

"Man City made history and advanced to the final just to be stepped on by us!"

"Haha, winning a Champions League runner-up is also a historic achievement for Manchester City."

"It's crazy, it's crazy. I didn't expect Rakitic to take the lead. Let's watch the MSN show next!"

Manchester City's generals clapped to each other to boost their morale. Although they felt a little more pressure when conceding a goal, they didn't necessarily become frustrated and affected their mentality.

After all, facing Barcelona with super-terrifying firepower, how could they possibly keep a clean sheet?

It's just that the goal was conceded a little early.

Moreover, the way the ball was thrown was almost as if the opponent had stripped the ball and penetrated the defense.

It's actually a bit ugly.

Manchester City fans are naturally depressed.

Panic instantly arose.

"It's over, it's over, we lost the ball so early, the situation is not good, the wind is in the wrong direction!"

"Barcelona seems to be more skillful in passing and controlling than before, and they are more pursuing efficiency. They are not the kind of time-consuming sissy tricks."

"Oh, I resisted pressure at the beginning. I didn't expect that resisting pressure would turn into headwinds so quickly. Something bad happened."

"What a panic! We have Emperor Hao!"

"..."

Perhaps in most eyes, Hao Qiang and Messi can offset each other one-on-one.

If we have to quantify it, then maybe Messi scores one goal and Hao Qiang scores one, so it’s a tie.

But how does the overall strength of Manchester City's other players compare with Barcelona's overall strength after excluding Messi?

Manchester City is definitely still the disadvantaged side.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Before Manchester City kicked off, teammates reminded each other that the defense line should be further tightened, and at the same time the defensive intensity should be increased, and the aggression must be strengthened.

Because we were one goal behind, the overall situation was still stable.

If they fall behind by two goals, Manchester City's pressure and mentality may undergo drastic changes.

Then they will not be in adversity, but in despair!

Manchester City kicked off, passed three passes and two from the backcourt and launched a fast break.

Zabaleta came to the frontcourt to support the attacking group, assisted the pass and then quickly retreated.

Manchester City must still be wary of Barcelona's msn combination's fast break.

I am afraid that there will be obvious gaps in the defense line.

Hao Qiang passed the ball to Silva again in front of Busquets, and the latter sent the ball to Aguero.

The routine remains unchanged.

But this time Aguero did not choose to break through on his own when attacking in a positional battle.

Instead, he heeled the ball and passed it back.

Busquets turned around and saw Hao Qiang coming forward to lead the ball in a different direction. He adjusted a step on the right side of the top of the penalty area and then shot furiously.

The football flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

Ter Stegen made a flying save and saved the ball!

"Wow! World-class save from Ter Stegen!"

Alves controlled the ball in the penalty area. Due to the lack of pressing pressure, he did not panic at all and dribbled to the right to start organizing the attack.

Hao Qiang quickly turned around and retreated.

German football has an enviable reserve of goalkeepers.

Neuer has become a god, and the little lion Ter Stegen is also considered to be the top when he is based in Barcelona.

I have to say that Barcelona's lineup configuration is indeed worthy of the status of a super team.

The gap between Manchester City and the super strong teams is still clear at a glance.
