Chapter 403 Chu Zheng’s fifth goal in the Champions League!
After the intermission and a few minutes of commercial time, when the camera returned to the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu began to review the first half of the game.
"In fact, Manchester City's playing style did not change much in these two games, but there was one key change, that is, Aguero stepped forward and De Bruyne was put back into the midfield."
"In the first round away game, Guardiola put De Bruyne in the forward arrow position, which was a waste of De Bruyne's midfield talents."
"Today, Manchester City played more directly and moved forward more resolutely. Aguero is still the world-class striker. De Bruyne, who returned to the midfield, covered the midfield and frontcourt. He was like a duck in water. He and Chu Chu were outside the Barcelona penalty area.
Zheng took turns to receive the ball and create threats. The two of them were like knives inserted between the midfielder and the back line, which greatly improved the efficiency of Manchester City's frontcourt forward!"
"Chu Zheng is experienced and mature in taking the ball in the midfield. He is the engine of Manchester City's offense. He runs in the frontcourt, takes the ball, and passes and receives reasonably and directly. Together with De Bruyne and Gundogan, the three of them have their own strengths.
Long, they complement each other.”
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded, "Especially after Manchester City broke the deadlock, the offensive scene and efficiency were even better."
After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Lu continued: "Barcelona, in the first 35 minutes of the first half, they played extremely well."
"In these more than 30 minutes, Barcelona not only demonstrated the ultimate art of siege to the fans, but also showed Manchester City the secret of breaking the siege, which is to play the ball without any sloppiness, almost making the Manchester City players spin around."
"This is Enrique's transformation of Barcelona after taking office. He no longer sticks to controlling the situation, but pays more attention to one fatal blow. At the same time, he also simplifies the weight of the midfielder, pursues rapid advancement, and amplifies the offensive weight of MSN's forward line.
.”
"Facing a terrifying opponent like Barcelona, 9 out of 10 teams will rely on defense and counterattack to win.
But Guardiola did not agree. Even if Fernandinho was at great risk of being beaten, Guardiola still had to stick to his tactical philosophy, still insist on three defenders and one defensive midfielder, and choose to press and counterattack in the frontcourt.
Grab tactics."
"Before Manchester City scored, it could be said that there was a lot of noise in front of Manchester City's goal. Once the ball is lost, the game will enter Barcelona's orbit."
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded and smiled again, "People say that Gua Shuai is a lunatic and a paranoid, but it is this lunatic and paranoid who has single-handedly created a terrifying Dream Three Dynasty, and his persistence and risk-taking in this game are also
It finally paid off.”
The fifteen minutes of rest time flew by in the blink of an eye.
After the players came on stage one after another and took their positions, the second half of the game officially began with the whistle of referee Kaushoy.
Neither side made any substitutions in the second half.
Barcelona has no one to replace, and Enrique now has all the best cards on the court.
There is no need for Manchester City, because apart from some minor mistakes in the first half, everyone's performance can be said to be excellent.
At the tactical level, Manchester City has not changed. They are still airtight in the midfield and high position.
Barcelona also maintained the tactical strategy of the first half, but compared to the first half, their passing became more cautious.
But this caution has little effect in the face of Manchester City, which has high morale.
In the 46th minute of the game, after Barcelona continued to control the ball for a minute, they were chased and intercepted by five Manchester City players on the right side of the center circle.
Digne had no choice but to pass the ball back quickly.
Ter Stegen ran to the left side of the penalty area to get the ball, and then pushed it to Mascherano at the penalty spot.
After Mascherano got the ball, he saw De Bruyne speeding up his pace and reaching the top of the arc in an instant. He pushed the ball back to Ter Stegen.
Ter Stegen stopped the ball in the upper left corner of the small penalty area, moved the ball laterally and slowly, and looked up to observe, but the ball was not released.
At this time, the consequences of Pique's injury were highlighted, and Barcelona's backcourt play dropped significantly.
Ter Stegen's hesitation gave everyone a feeling of confusion, as if he didn't know how to move the ball forward.
In the top area of the arc, as soon as De Bruyne started to scare, Ter Stegen quickly passed the ball to the right.
On the right side of the penalty area, Mascherano quickly advanced after receiving the ball, but De Bruyne soon rushed over.
Mascherano did not dare to raise the ball and quickly kicked the ball towards the center circle.
At the landing point, Gundogan rushed to the landing point first, jumped up and stretched his feet to stop the ball, but ended up stopping the ball towards the right shoulder of Gomez in front of him.
Gomez was also very smart and quickly hit the ball with his shoulder towards Busquets behind Gundogan.
Busquets took the ball, and on the arc of the center circle, Chu Zheng, Fernandinho, Gundogan and Sterling lined up.
But Busquets still resolutely passed forward and sent the ball to Messi's feet in the center circle.
Stones quickly got up from behind Messi and surrounded Messi on three sides with Chu Zheng and Gundogan.
Messi couldn't hold on and quickly passed the ball back. The ball passed through Busquets and went all the way to the feet of Mascherano in the middle of the backcourt.
Faced with De Bruyne's pressure, Mascherano had no choice but to split to the right.
Facing Fernandinho rushing from the ribs on the left side of the center circle, Roberto took the ball and retreated all the way, then crossed to Busquets in the middle.
Busquets turned his back to get the ball, and Chu Zheng had already rushed behind him.
Facing Chu Zheng again, Busquets was completely unfazed.
The moment his right foot touched the ball, Busquets turned to the right.
Chu Zheng's eyes were like lightning, and he could tell at a glance that this guy was trying to deceive him.
Sure enough, after Busquets touched the ball, he knocked the ball directly to the left with the inside of his right foot, and his body also turned to the left.
Chu Zheng found the opportunity, pushed forward, extended his left foot, and accurately poked the ball forward.
The ball rolled straight towards De Bruyne behind Mascherano.
"Beautiful! Chu Zheng, another wonderful and fatal attack, Busquets steals the chicken but loses the rice!"
"Man City's opportunity has come again!!!" Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun were shocked at the same time in the LeTV live broadcast room!
When Enrique saw this scene on the sidelines, he was so angry that his vision suddenly darkened and he almost had a heart attack.
Next to him, Guardiola jumped forward on tiptoes, looking at the field with his eyes unblinking. He could already smell the goal.
At this time on the field, Aguero was standing at the top of the Barcelona arc, and Umtiti was standing in the right rib area at the top of the arc, at least two meters away from Aguero.
Mascherano is in the upper left corner of the penalty area, so there is a huge gap in front of Aguero.
Facing the incoming ball, De Bruyne swept the ball directly to Aguero in the center with his right foot.
But unfortunately, his pass was a bit hasty and did not give any advance lead, so Aguero was forced to stop where he was to get the ball.
By the time Aguero stopped the ball, Umtiti was already blocked in the top area in front of him.
But at this time Chu Zheng and De Bruyne were also moving forward together.
Chu Zheng ran behind Umtiti at the top of the arc in the middle, while De Bruyne moved straight forward along the left rib of the arc to contain Mascherano who was moving in the middle.
Aguero stopped in place, glancing towards the right rib area at the top of the arc.
At this time, because Digne had just walked up the wing and Umtiti moved in the middle, there was no one on the right side of Barcelona's penalty area.
Aguero is waiting for Sterling.
Sterling did not disappoint Aguero and came up quickly.
Seeing Sterling coming, Umtiti was driven back by the movement of Chu Zheng on the left. Aguero calmly turned to the right without interference and pushed the ball to the point with the inside of his right foot.
To the right of the ball point.
After Sterling followed up, he shot directly with his right foot, very decisively.
Suddenly the ball went straight to the back penalty area.
Unfortunately, Ter Stegen's position selection was very precise, causing Sterling's shot to be blocked by Ter Stegen's hands before the angle was fully widened.
Suddenly the ball fell in a parabola to the left of the penalty spot.
At the landing point, Chu Zheng and Mascherano advanced together, but Chu Zheng was on the outside.
Mascherano relied on his rich experience to quickly judge that the ball was behind him and Chu Zheng, and the threat was not great.
However, the moment this thought came to his mind, Chu Zheng made his response.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng, who had no intention of turning around, jumped forward. After placing his body horizontally in the air, he raised his right foot upwards, and the sole of his shoe accurately hooked the ball that fell behind him.
The next second, the ball flew past Chu Zheng's back and went directly into the Barcelona goal from the inside of the left goal post.
Seeing Chu Zheng's unconventional shot, countless people suddenly opened their eyes with horror on their faces.
In the Etihad Stand, the Manchester City and Barcelona fans acted in surprisingly unison at this time. Countless people stared at the ball that was still beating in the goal with their heads in their hands.
The next second, there was a bang! A huge sound suddenly rose, as if it was about to lift the Etihad Stadium.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was greatly stimulated by Chu Zheng's magical goal.
He covered his cheeks with his hands again, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with an incredible smile.
Next to him, Enrique was also stunned. He never expected that Chu Zheng could react in time to such an unexpected flying ball and kick it into the goal with such a magical action. This kind of creativity and reaction ability made Enri
Ke was horrified.
In Barcelona, little Thiago was also dumbfounded. Standing in front of the huge TV, his little mouth became O-shaped in shock.
"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Two goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
“This is Chu Zheng’s fifth goal in the Champions League!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Witnessing Chu Zheng's miraculous goal, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also full of excitement at this time.
"Chu Zheng's creativity and adaptability are really rare in the world!"
"Mascherano next to Chu Zheng is the best foil. Ter Stegen blocked the ball. Mascherano couldn't react at all, but Chu Zheng could."
On the field, seeing Chu Zheng score such a miracle goal again, Sterling, Aguero, De Bruyne and all the Manchester City players were excited.
"Chu! Do you know what your goal means?" De Bruyne put his hand on Chu Zheng's neck and screamed.
"Chu, you are now the number one scorer in the Champions League! Number one!" Before Chu Zheng could ask, Sterling shouted the answer.
Currently, there are only three people on the Champions League scorer list who have scored five goals.
One is Messi, the other is Cristiano Ronaldo, and the other is Chu Zheng.
But the difference between Chu Zheng and Messi and Ronaldo is that his five Champions League goals did not include penalty kicks.
Therefore, Chu Zheng directly pushed Messi and Ronaldo to second and third place, occupying the top spot in the Champions League's top scorer list.
Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment after hearing Sterling's words, and then he smiled even brighter. He really didn't pay attention to this aspect.
Not long after, all the Manchester City players gathered, even Caballero ran up, and everyone gathered around to celebrate wildly.
In the center circle, Messi silently watched the Manchester City players celebrate, with no expression on his face.
But at this moment, in this situation, he suddenly understood why the little guy at home regarded Chu Zheng as his idol.
This kind of goal is so entertaining to watch. It fully demonstrates the skills of the player who scored the goal. It is difficult not to make the fans like it.
And as far as Messi knows, Chu Zheng seems to have many such fairy-like goals.
Not long after, under the urging of the referee Kaushoy, Manchester City ended their slightly crazy celebration and the game could restart.
However, when the game entered the 60th minute, under Manchester City's tidal attack, Barcelona's continuous high-level press began to be unsustainable.
The loss of frontcourt protection resulted in Barcelona being frequently intercepted and counterattacked by Manchester City players.
Not only that, with MSN being separated from each other by Manchester City, it is difficult for Barcelona to organize an effective offensive.
As a result, under Manchester City's continued onslaught, Barcelona's defense gradually became messy and scattered, giving Manchester City enough space to attack.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Enrique replaced Rakitic, who was in average form in the game, with Arda Turan.
It was a matchup substitution, without any tactical adjustment at all, and it was impossible to adjust with Enrique's limited troops.
Soon, Manchester City's third goal appeared.
In the 68th minute of the game, Manchester City counterattacked again in the backcourt.
Sterling passed the ball straight from the right side of the backcourt. Aguero took the ball and ran long distance, and then passed the ball across the top of the arc to Chu Zheng.
When Busquets saw Chu Zheng taking the ball, he was about to pass the ball to the empty left rib area at the top of the arc. He chased back and shoveled the ball from behind.
Chu Zheng was caught off guard and was knocked down directly.
The referee Kaushoy directly blew the whistle and awarded Manchester City a free kick at the top of the arc that was deflected to the left and in an excellent position.
Busquets received a yellow card.
30 seconds later, De Bruyne made a run-up for a free throw, and the inside of his right foot went directly to the upper right corner of the goal.
The ball jumped high, bypassed the wall, and plunged into the bottom of the crossbar.
3-0!
Since then, Barcelona's remaining morale has been completely shattered.
After sealing the victory, it didn't take long for Guardiola to start making substitutions.
But don't get me wrong, he is not saving energy for the upcoming international match day, but wants to massacre Barcelona.
In the 71st minute of the game, Navas replaced Sterling.
Although the Spanish international's shooting is poor, his running choices and unique breakthrough crosses are still top-notch.
With Navas coming on the field, Barcelona's defense also sounded the air defense alarm.
Navas blasted Digne twice on the right. Once he found Aguero with a pass from the bottom, and once he found Chu Zheng who inserted from behind.
It's a pity that neither of them completed the fatal blow.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 3-0, which was also Manchester City's first victory over Barcelona in the European War.
After the game, Manchester City fans sang loudly throughout the Etihad Stadium to celebrate this rare victory.
Manchester City defeated Barcelona, which shattered the recent criticism of Manchester City by the media and fans, and proved that Manchester City is not just a bad guy.
