"Manchester City is actually a three-back system in its sports battles."
"Korarov and Otamendi pulled away from each other, Stones in the middle, Sabaleta often crossed Fernandinho during the attack, and controlled the midfield with Chu Zheng, Gundogan and others."
"But in fact, Manchester City's ball possession rate today is not high, and they are at a disadvantage compared to Barcelona."
"Now, except for Chu Zheng, it is difficult for others to hold the ball in the midfield and frontcourt."
"Manchester City will never drag on the ball in the midfield against Barcelona, and cannot establish an advantage in numbers when advancing at the extreme speed and running."
"This has led to Fernandinho and the three defenders having to face the impact of Messi, Neymar and Suarez."
"This is a big defensive risk!"
"From this point, we can also see Guardiola's desire to win today. He would rather risk the defense line being broken than attack."
Zhang Lu's analysis made countless fans in front of the TV nodded because he analyzed it very well in line with the current game situation.
Now, once Chu Zheng and Gundoan are on the court, he is often isolated and helpless in the face of MSN. When he takes the ball, he is like a hot potato. He is neither able to hold it firmly nor throw it out, and is hit back and forth by Barcelona.
Guardiola was also clear about the difficulties Fernandinho faced.
But this was not caused by his wrong tactical use, but by Barcelona's connection in this offense today.
In fact, only Chu Zheng or Gundogan needs to withdraw one to share the huge pressure Messi and the other two put on Fernandinho.
But Guardiola didn't want to do that, because once Gundogan or Chu Zheng retreated, their attacking points in the frontcourt would be missing, and they would not be able to maintain the pressure put on Barcelona's midfield and backcourt.
Especially Chu Zheng, Guardiola needs Chu Zheng's rare creativity in football.
In the 21st minute of the game, Kolarov was robbed by Rakitic and Suarez at the forefront of his arc.
Seeing Rakitic cut off his connection with Fernandinho, Kolarov quickly kicked the ball out with his big foot.
Suddenly the ball spanned the center circle and headed straight to the ribs of the right half.
But the pass was too far ahead, and Aguero, Sterling and Digne, who were starting on the right rib and on the right side of the center circle, failed to catch up.
The ball rolled out of the sideline directly.
Soon, Digne sent out the outbound ball.
Aguero rushed forward quickly along the sideline of the penalty area, oppressing Umtiti who was holding the ball.
Umtiti was also very straightforward and quickly turned around and passed through Terstegen in front of the door.
But before the ball could completely stop, Gundogan broke into the penalty area.
Terstegen immediately continued to pass the ball to Mascherano on the right, but in panic, his passing line was a bit off and rolled directly to the bottom line.
Gundogan quickly changed his target and headed straight for Mascherano.
When Mascherano took the ball in front of the baseline and turned around, he was almost rushing in front of him.
At this time, De Bruyne also came along the left road and was swimming near Robert.
In front of the baseline, the experienced Mascherano had a wide vision. He quickly passed the ball with a low ball in front of Gundogan.
The ball bounced directly towards Rakitic, who was retreating along the ribs.
But Rakitic was still following Stones, which made him unable to turn around.
At this moment, Rakitic could not find the ball point to break the high-pressing position in his field of vision.
Chu Zheng, De Bruyne, Stones, and Fernandinho cut off his pass line to the middle and to the side, and the left rib area of the arc top.
It was just like this hesitation and distracting that Rakitic made a mistake in stopping the ball, and the ball stopped a bit big.
Fortunately, Rakitic has solid basic skills and the ball is not very far away, about 1 meter away, and he can recover it.
But when Chu Zheng started, his heart was cold.
Against the backdrop of Chu Zheng's ejection, he was as slow as a turtle.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng rushed to Rakitic who was about to get the ball, and fell directly to the ground and saw a swift slide.
The next second, Rakitic was directly overturned by Chu Zheng, but the ball was left at Chu Zheng's feet, and it was a shovel and the ball was kept.
After leaving the ball under his feet, Chu Zheng, who was still sliding, supported himself on the lawn with one hand, quickly got up, turned around and passed with one foot.
Before the penalty kick, Aguero had no one to guard.
Because Mascherano's position is further back, Aguero is not offside at all.
Facing Chu Zheng's pass, Aguero quickly opened his arms and steadily removed the ball with his chest.
But when he turned around, he saw Umtiti had pounced in front of him and sealed his right foot.
At this time, it was too late to change his left foot to shoot, so Aguero suddenly pushed the ball horizontally to the right from the outside of his right foot, and then he activated and wanted to pass Umtiti.
Just as he was about to run away, Umtiti reached over and grabbed the ball and chopped his left foot directly on Aguero's right foot.
A screamed suddenly and Aguero fell into Barcelona's penalty area.
"Oh!!!!!!!" Etihad suddenly became boiling, and even the wet and cold air became hot at this moment.
"Fallen in the penalty area!!!!!!!!!"
"Punishment shot?" Zhan Jun exclaimed in the LeTV live broadcast room!
In the sideline coaching area, Guardiola and Enrique also realized that the turning point of the game might be coming.
Guardiola was delighted, and Enrique's face was as gloomy as water.
However, at this moment, the referee Kao Shoi came out to disrupt the situation.
The continuous sharp whistle sounded, and Kaushoi ran towards Aguero who was sitting in the penalty area, locked his pocket and took out a yellow card to hold it up.
At this moment, Chu Zheng was stunned. What's the point?
"Whose home court is this?" Chu Zheng murmured to himself. Seeing Fernandinho and others quickly surrounding him, he rushed over.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was extremely sad and furious, and rushed straight to the fourth official on the sidelines, protesting with an extremely excited expression.
Enrique next to him looked like he had a life-saving look.
In the stands, Manchester City fans were shocked and suddenly burst into loud boos again!
"Oh!! The referee judged Aguero to fake a fall!"
"Yellow card warning!!!"
"Hehehehe..." Zhang Lu shook her head and smiled. He actually didn't see the ball clearly just now, so it was difficult to make a conclusion whether Aguero had dived.
On the court, Aguero quickly got up. Seeing the referee's extremely determined judgment, he shook his hand directly, then turned his back and said WTF.
At this moment, the live broadcast footage began to play back.
From the slow motion, it is obvious that Umtiti is indeed the toe of Aguero's right foot.
"This is a misjudgment!!!" After watching the slow motion replay, Zhang Lu went straight to the conclusion.
"This should really be a penalty!" Zhan Jun was amused and crying, "Manchester City has really been unlucky recently!"
"It's not a fake fall, at least it's not a fake fall!"
"It's not necessary. If Umtiti doesn't meet Aguero, then Aguero can suddenly go over and shoot directly. There is no one on the right side of Barcelona's penalty area. There's no need for Aguero to ask for another penalty at this time!"
"Hey! Yes!"
Soon Guardiola paid the price for his mentality of waiting and looking at it.
In the 26th minute of the game, Barcelona made a temporary defense line today, under the pressure of Manchester City's high position, and could only use tactical fouls to send Manchester City the second free kick in this game.
But this time the position is still not very ideal, 40 meters away from Barcelona goal.
At the forefront of Barcelona's arc, Manchester City and Barcelona players lined up.
The referee Kaushoi blew a sharp long whistle, and Fernandinho, Aguero, Otamendi and Chu Zheng rushed into the Barcelona penalty area at the same time.
De Bruyne was a smoke bomb, and Kolarov, who was on his left foot, was punished.
Kolarov directly passed the back point on the right side, trying to find Chu Zheng who rushed forward on this side.
After entering the penalty area from the right rib area at the top of the arc, Chu Zheng, Rakitic and Suarez, who were in front of the left and right, wanted to give Chu Zheng a close defense.
But Chu Zheng was faster and forced to squeeze over with his body.
However, Chu Zheng rushed to the upper right corner of the small penalty area, but the ball did not come.
Kolarov's free kick was given small force, so Umtiti, who was in front of the small penalty area line on the left, turned around and looked at the moon to push the ball towards the left rib area of the arc.
But Manchester City's offense is not over yet.
Sabaleta quickly crossed the penalty area line and got the ball.
But at this time Digne behind him was very close, giving him no room to turn around.
Chu Zheng saw Sabaletta rushing over. In order to avoid overlapping the two positions and colliding together, he quickly retreated to the right line of the penalty area and established a contact point.
But Sabaleta didn't give him this goal, but suddenly turned the triangle dial and crossed the middle.
The ball rolled out fortunately through the crack of the man and headed straight for Aguero on the right side of the penalty spot.
The next second, Aguero stopped the ball with his left foot and completed the turn.
But Mascherano, who also loves small defenders, is not slower than Aguero.
And the two are teammates of the Argentina national team.
Mascherano knew Aguero very well. He did not push up and steal the ball immediately, but quickly prepared to move horizontally to the right.
Sure enough, after Aguero stopped the ball with his left foot, he quickly swung the ball horizontally to the left side with his right foot, and then followed up and shot directly with his left foot.
A bang!
Aguero's shot was blocked by Mascherano.
Suddenly the ball bounced high, and the front edge of the flying arc was leaning against the area.
Messi on the front of the left rib of the arc top quickly moved horizontally, and De Bruyne behind him was not slow, so he quickly started the pursuit.
But Messi had no intention of stopping the ball and leading it himself. Instead, he calmly passed the ball and went straight to the left rib area of the middle circle.
At this time, Neymar had already started up completely and stepped forward along his left side.
Neymar is on the right back, and Gundogan retreats very quickly, so he blocks Messi and Neymar's pass line.
But Messi's pass was very terrifying, and he was behind Gundogan.
Seeing the ball flying behind him, Gundoan quickly raised his left foot, but unfortunately he didn't touch the ball, so he was just a little short of destroying the ball.
But Messi's goal was too rippy, which caused Neymar to slow down and run to the side.
When he got the ball and rushed again, Gundogan in the ribs and De Bruyne in the middle had already returned to defend, which could be said to be gains and losses.
At this time, Chu Zheng was also retreating along the ribs. Seeing that Messi in the middle was not in defense, he pulled his speed and rushed away.
At this moment, Barcelona's counterattack situation was very clear in Chu Zheng's heart.
Neymar will be forced to the wing by Gundogan. Although Suarez is also in the ribs, Stones is following behind him, so he needs to watch Messi.
Chu Zheng now has a sense of intuition, and he has a strong sense that the last shot of this offense will probably be completed by Messi.
He had already experienced the finishing ability of this Argentine football king last time. He was really the strongest among all the players who had fought with Chu Zheng. It gave Chu Zheng the feeling that he could almost raise his feet.
In terms of finishing ability, Chu Zheng feels that Neymar and Suarez are slightly inferior to Messi.
In a blink of an eye, Neymar reached the outer area of the upper corner on the left.
Gundogan, Stones, De Bruyne, and Otamendi set off in front of their own penalty area in an irregular wavy line.
Chu Zheng also followed Messi's blind spots in his sight, and he deliberately prevented Messi from seeing him.
At this time, Messi also took care of Chu Zheng without flaws, and his eyes were already attracted by Neymar.
Seeing Neymar giving up the breakthrough, he strode his right foot and faced the top of the arc in the middle. Messi instantly understood the intention, accelerated his steps and headed straight to the top of the arc.
The next moment, Neymar passed by.
At the same time, Chu Zheng suddenly accelerated and headed straight for Messi.
The top of the arc is on the left side. De Bruyne turned around and had not had time to stretch his foot. Messi drove the ball and rushed towards him, with Chu Zheng following on the right back.
Seeing Chu Zheng's similar whistling figure, De Bruyne's panic heart instantly stabilized.
After entering the penalty area, facing Otamendi who ran over from the right to block the ball, Messi directly led the ball to the left.
After taking out the shooting space, facing Caballero who was attacking, Messi quickly pushed the shot at the near corner with his left foot.
But the next moment after the shot was completed, a long leg wearing white knee-length stockings suddenly appeared, blocking the ball accurately.
Suddenly the ball turned and rolled out of the bottom line, and Messi was also knocked down.
On the sidelines, when he saw Chu Zheng's very clean sliding tackle on the back of the right side, Enrique, who was sitting on the Barcelona coaching seat, was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
"Oh!!!"
"Chu Zheng, chased back from Barcelona's penalty area and blocked the ball in time!"
"A very beautiful defense, the timing of blocking is perfect!" Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun were amazed.
On the field, Chu Zheng was still in a state of fear, and he was also frightened.
Messi's feet were so fast that he almost couldn't catch up.
Seeing Messi still sitting on the ground, Chu Zheng got up and reached out to pull him up.
At the city of Barcelona, at Messi's home, a little kid was cheering at the TV.
"Chu! Kill beautiful!"
"Kill Leo!!!!" Thiago jumped on the soft sofa with two short legs, and his fair face was full of excitement.
If you don’t know, you would never have thought that this little guy’s father is Messi!
Messi's wife Antonella next to her covered her face with a laughing and crying expression.
She really couldn't understand how her son became a fan of Chu Zheng. She obviously had a better father, but she admired outsiders.
It seems that this kid can't be asked!
Antonella shook her head and smiled. Chicken looked down at the sleeping dick Matteo, who was still sleeping in her arms. Fortunately, they still had a little baby.
