In the days when Messi was lost, Zhuoyang gave Barcelona no worries. When they stood on the sidelines together in the 60th minute to prepare to come on as substitutes, the red and blue fans who came from the expedition burst into heartfelt cheers. Although the number was small
, but it was so loud that it made the home fans of Kazan Ruby feel a little scared.
On the second match day of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona visited the Kazan Center Stadium and the real-time score was 1:1.
Half a month ago, a home victory over Panathinaikos of Greece gave Barcelona a good start in their Champions League campaign for the new season. Continuing this momentum, Barcelona defeated the third round of La Liga 3:1 at the Calderon Stadium ten days ago.
Opponent Atletico Madrid.
But in that game, Messi, who scored a goal, was kicked by Uyfalusi at the last moment of the game and injured his left ankle. Uyfalusi was sent off with a red card, and Messi was also diagnosed after the game.
For ankle ligament contusion, you need to rest for 10-15 days.
Zhuoyang also scored a goal, and it was a key goal for the lead. Another icing on the cake came from Pique, who participated in the 100th anniversary of La Liga. Xiaojie's action of stopping his chest and volleying to hit the goal during the corner kick tactics was not at all like the Chinese midfielder.
Defender, center material through and through.
As for Reyes being put on a stretcher by Zhuoyang early in the game, it was very unnoticed, and no one connected Reyes' tackle on Zhuoyang in the Spanish Super Cup with this scene.
Messi was injured, but Barcelona did not lose weight at all in the next two La Liga games. They defeated Sporting Gijon and Bilbao 4:1 in two consecutive games. In the two games, Zhuo Yang scored 3 goals, and both
It was at the most anxious time that he opened the scoring for Barcelona. Calabash scored one goal against his old club Sporting Gijon, Pedro scored one goal, Xavi, Keita and Xiaobu scored in the game against Biba.
His first goal of the season.
We played three La Liga games in six days, and almost all of Barcelona’s main lineup was rotated. Only Zhuoyang and Valdez showed perfect attendance. Valdez is a goalkeeper, and he will not be tired even if he works full time throughout his life, but Guardiola would never dare to do this.
Use Zhuoyang. So, in this expedition to Kazan, Zhuoyang and Messi, who had returned from injury, first sat on the bench to watch the enemy's formation.
Messi is much more obedient than Zhuo Yang. If he just rests at home, he really won’t even get out of bed. Of course, this is what he said himself. Zhuo Yang would never believe that Messi would poop on the bed.
It's just an ankle to pee, it's not like he's paralyzed and can't take care of himself.
Guardiola took the opportunity to muster up the courage to persuade Zhuo Yang: "Zhuo Yang, it would be great if you could take football as seriously as Leo."
"What, Pep, do you think I don't take football seriously?"
"No, don't worry too much. What I mean is, you can be more serious. Then you will undoubtedly become the best player in world football."
"What, Pep, don't you think I'm already the best player?"
"No, no, no, Zhuoyang, don't worry too much, you are indeed number one in the world today."
"Is there any problem then?"
"...No more. Zhuoyang, don't worry too much..."
.
The Russians' home court is notoriously difficult to play, and everyone from Napoleon to Hitler to Guardiola is aware of this. Last year, Barcelona met Kazan unexpectedly in the group stage, and they were disgraced with one draw and one loss.
.
After losing on this field last year, Guardiola didn't think he had to win today. In the first half, both sides scored one point each with the penalty kicks of Novoa and Huluwa. Originally, Lao Guadiola planned to leave it like this.
Let's hold on to one point and go home, but after the start of the second half, Kazan's offensive gradually became more fierce, and the Russians' counterattacks were like bayonets, frequently threatening Barcelona's goal.
Within fifteen minutes, Kazan Ruby had already hit three goals. Barcelona's defense was under incredible pressure, and the midfield was gradually losing control. Seeing this critical situation, Guardiola did not seek medical treatment for his pain, but decisively sent on Messi.
and Zhuoyang, used offense to suppress the arrogance of the Kazan people.
Messi replaced Mascherano, Zhuo Yang replaced Pedro, and Iniesta returned to the midfield. Barcelona's forward line returned to the serious Zhuo Meihu, and the midfielder was standard Habaibu.
In fact, Barcelona's midfielder seemed passive in the second half, and Mascherano has to bear some responsibility. Although he is not ambiguous in terms of ability, he is not in sync with Barcelona's original rhythm in the midfield. This lack of synchronization is a feeling.
Subtle reactions in technique and passing and receiving. When the football passes by him, there will always be a slight lag in rhythm, which makes Harvey and Xiaob very uncomfortable.
Barcelona's tika-taka in the midfield and frontcourt is too particular. Those who are familiar with and adapt to this unique rhythm will be like a duck in water. Otherwise, it will seriously hinder the team's frontcourt operation.
The loss to the newly promoted Hergus in the second round of the league was apparently due to the opponent's unreasonable kicking from the wing. On the surface, it seemed that it was because Maxwell lost the ball on the wing. But the root cause was that he replaced Xiaobu that day.
Mascherano, who serves as a central defensive midfielder, is inefficient in the midfield.
Now it seems that Mascherano is not very suitable to play in the midfield in Barcelona, ​​and maybe he can be considered in the defense. And from this point of view, it may be possible to explain Messi's failure to succeed in the Argentina national team.
The reason behind it is revealed.
The strongman came on stage, and the effect was immediate. In the 70th minute, Xavi's pass allowed Messi to form a one-on-one goal, but Messi's push shot hit Kazan goalkeeper Ryzhkov's chest, and the football bounced back and hit his own leg.
Went up to the side.
Zhuoyang appeared like a ghost at the landing point. After Italian center back Salvatore Boccetti was placed beside him, Zhuoyang fell to the ground and used a shovel shot to make the score 2:1.
The 24-year-old Bochetti was sold half of the ownership to Kazan by Madibo for 9.5 million this summer. Dortmund wanted to buy 100% of it at this price, but Hasler did not agree, even if he had the face of Uncle Zha. Business
It's business, and favors are favors, especially within the Bundesliga. If you start this way, you will offend many other people.
The worries of Kazan Ruby fans have become a reality. On this venue, the most terrifying person in Barcelona is not Messi, but Zhuo Yang. In the 89th minute, former Inter Milan striker and Nigerian Obafemi Martins
During the corner kick, Puyol was so pressed that he couldn't even lift his head, but Zhuo Yang, who was participating in the defense, stabbed him out diagonally. He was pressed against him and he headed the football to clear the siege.
The Barcelona-style counterattack was also mercury-filled. After a series of quick passes, when Messi made the final direct pass, Zhuoyang miraculously appeared at the forefront. A volley from the waistline of the penalty area 12 meters away from the goal went straight into the near corner.
, Zhuo Yang locked the score at 3:1.
Barcelona won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage, which is a very correct gesture; Zhuoyang scored 5 goals in two Champions League games, which is the most correct performance.
