Chapter 725 Who is the protagonist
"In a targeted substitution, Van Basten replaced Aguero with Barry, replaced an offensive player, replaced a defensive player, and Manchester City changed the lineup.W wW.81zW.CoM"
Thiago, La Macia produces another genius, the best No. 4 in the eyes of Barcelona B team coach Enrique, is regarded as Xavi's successor.
He has triple nationalities in Spain, Brazil and Italy. His father is a famous Brazilian player Mazinho, one of the Brazilian team members who won the 1994 World Cup in the United States. He plays as a striker and has played for Bayern and Inter Milan.
Thiago can be said to be better than the blue. At present, this Barcelona young player has attracted the attention of many European giants, especially after Barcelona signed Fabregas.
After all, the two are the same position. Although Thiago is talented, it is still a certain gap with Fabregas. He has already proved himself that his performance at Arsenal can be said to be world-class, otherwise Barcelona would not have tried every means to seduce him back.
As for his origin, Fabregas is the first generation of Lamacia 87. Even in Barcelona, Fabregas is his own.
In the return game, Barcelona kicked off, Xavi, Fabregas, and Thiago, the three-man configuration is the strongest midfield combination in Europe.
However, Li Feng's return to defense and Barry's appearance are not vegetarian, especially Li Feng. Li Feng's talent is the same whether it is on the offensive or defensive end.
The battlefield is in the midfield, and Barcelona has the pride of Barcelona. For ten minutes, both sides have been fighting in the midfield. It was not until time was about to enter stoppage time that Barcelona transferred the ball to the wing.
However, these ten minutes were not a waste. At least they left Manchester City with a hint that they would always look for opportunities in the middle.
So~~~When Xavi scored the side and Alves stepped up from the back high, fortunately Manchester City's defense was focused enough, and Alves' cross was directly cleared by Kompany.
Not focusing on the middle lane undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of defense. Both sides of Barcelona are also quite outstanding, and the two full-backs have extremely strong assists.
In the 90th minute, it was the left turn this time. The three men in the middle attracted a lot of defense again. After Thiago split the side and went to the left, Adriano Gao was inserted and was knocked down by De Jong, and Barcelona got a free kick.
Messi took the penalty himself, but Messi's free kick level is really not very good. Of course, the position is also very important. The left side is far away from the goal and directly deviates from the baseline.
Five minutes of stoppage time, when stoppage time came out, Etihad's stadium booed again. There was no doubt that in the second half, the referee completely became the protagonist. Even if Li Feng scored twice, the limelight could not be compared with the German referee not far away.
Spend two minutes of stoppage time smoothly. When the time entered the 93rd minute, Xavi made a direct pass. Boateng made a sudden mistake and made a wrong choice. He actually wanted to steal Messi instead of choosing to entangle the Messi.
As a result, Messi broke through directly and successfully entered Manchester City's penalty area. However, God stood on Manchester City's side in this game. Messi, who broke into the penalty area, directly shot Kompany's leg and bounced to the right.
It still belongs to Barcelona, Pedro and Barcelona Demon Sword appear in the most deadly position, but Pedro's shot eventually hit Manchester City's left post.
"Oh oh oh ~~ It's a pity. In this game, God abandoned Barcelona and chose to stand on Manchester City's side," the tone of the live commentator was full of gloating.
However, God did not stand on Barcelona, but don't forget that on the court, the referee's function is more useful than God, and in this game, the referee has always stood on Barcelona.
In the last minute of stoppage time, the referee chose to stand up again. In Barcelona's last wave of attack, Messi once again faced the biggest opponent in the game, Boateng, on the penalty area line.
The Football King of Metz is confident, so the ball he controls wants to break through Boateng, and Manchester City's central defender is also confident. In this game, whether it is facing Messi, Sanchez, Iniesta or Pedro who comes on as a substitute, Boateng is almost perfect in defense.
Flowers are born under his feet, Messi's fake moves can indeed be dazzling. Although Boateng's prediction is pretty good, he is just a mortal fetus after all.
Pause, start, change direction, and after continuous fake moves, Boateng finally surrendered. However, just as Messi broke through, a foot that shouldn't have appeared suddenly appeared on the side of the ball.
"The wind~~ clearance~~~ The game ended, Barcelona missed the last chance~~~No~~~ The referee's whistle sounded, Messi fell in Manchester City's penalty area~~~ penalty~~~ penalty, the German referee pointed to the penalty point~~ Barcelona won a penalty in the last moment of stoppage time."
"God~~~This~~I can only say that God is on the side of Manchester City, and the referee chose Barcelona, and the penalty kick~~~ If Barcelona finally gets the penalty, then even if they lose this game, Barcelona will be completely acceptable."
When the referee made the penalty, Li Feng had no expression at all. He knew very well what the tackle was like just now. After a cold look at the German, Li Feng directly stopped his teammate who wanted to find the referee to argue.
Nowadays, several people in Manchester City have taken yellow cards. If one of them gets another one, it will be really not worth the loss. In this way, Van Basten on the sidelines is lazy to find the fourth official.
Van Basten has calmed down now. This game has been like this. What he is considering next is the second round. If Manchester City wants to advance, not only the players cannot have accidents, but also he himself cannot have accidents.
Of course, Manchester City will never just do this. After the game, the video of this game will definitely be sent to UEFA. The German referee will definitely be pushed to the forefront and may even be criticized by many media.
Messi personally took the penalty kick, Joe Hart did not create a miracle, and even the direction was not judged correctly. Argentina scored his fifteenth goal in the Champions League.
Perhaps Messi knew that his goal was a bit disgraceful, so Messi himself did not celebrate it much, but just simply hugged his teammates.
