Including the last time the two sides met, Kompany also scored a header in a corner kick attack.
Playing against Barcelona would be a better choice.
After all, the average height of the Barcelona team is relatively short, and they are relatively weak against high-altitude balls.
When Kompany plays Barcelona, he has both offensive and defensive attributes.
Why did Manchester City give up Kompany for Thiago Silva?
On the bench, Guardiola kept a mysterious smile and chatted to Deschamps: "Fortunately, Kai reminded us."
"Barcelona's midfielders are very flexible and explosive, but their height is generally not good enough."
"Relatively speaking, Desailly and Kompany are not that flexible and turn slowly."
"Putting on Thiago Silva, who is more flexible, can limit Barcelona's forward line to the greatest extent."
"As for Kompany's attributes on the offensive end... with our Manchester City's offensive power, one more and one less offensive high point will not have any impact."
Deschamps nodded repeatedly: "The only thing I am worried about is Thiago Silva's physical condition. His recovery is slightly worse than Chiellini."
boom!
The two had just finished communicating.
On the court, Deng Kai took a corner kick.
Thiago Silva's header went slightly wide.
Schmeichel smiled on the side and said: "Look, this is no problem. Now, Kompany is here, and that's the effect."
In the ninth minute, Barcelona responded in kind.
After Ronaldinho passed Mascherano on the left, he took a shot.
boom!
The football was not completely played and was thrown out by Cech.
In the twelfth minute, Barcelona struck while the iron was hot.
Xavi made a through ball.
Quaresma cut inside without the ball, and after receiving the ball, he made two consecutive technical moves to get rid of Deng Kai who was returning to defense, and avoided Chiellini.
boom!
Quares' shot from outside the instep!
boom!
Thiago Silva stretched his leg to block the football, and the football flew out of the baseline.
Without this moment, the football might have failed.
Cech's view was just a little blocked by Chiellini.
Moreover, Quaresma's outer instep is inherently more sudden.
Thirteenth minute.
After Barcelona took a corner kick.
Manchester City successfully controlled the first landing point.
There really aren't any high points on the pitch for Barcelona.
After receiving the ball, Ribery ran directly with the ball and fought all the way through the half-court.
Adriano and Villa are neck and neck.
boom!
Ribery passed the ball across the ball, giving Adriano a little advance.
But the next moment he regretted it.
Valdes rushed into the penalty area early and kicked the football away.
Ribery subconsciously looked back at Cech.
This horse-riding guy...isn't this what Manchester City requires of their goalkeepers?
Valdez's attack range is so wide.
Schmeichel frowned: "Although the requirements are different, and the timing of the attack is not as good as Cech and Neuer, Valdes... is very decisive!"
Guardiola also nodded: "Barcelona's technical and tactical philosophy attaches great importance to the players' foot skills. Even the goalkeeper will be affected by this trend."
"Reina and Valdez have very good foot skills. And if you want to make full use of the goalkeeper's foot skills, the best way is to expand their defensive area."
"Let them go from being goalkeepers to being guards."
"Otherwise, the goalkeeper's foot skills will become a time bomb for the team."
"But the goalkeeper's style of play requires the entire defense and even the entire team's offensive and defensive system to cooperate with it. Sporting Lisbon did not deliberately ask for this, so it is half done."
"But even if they did half of it, they still won the Champions League."
"Manchester City has spent a year and even this time still continuing to polish... As long as there are no physical problems with the players, I can't think of any team that can stop us in the future!"
Nineteenth minute.
Deng Kai retreated.
Because Barcelona's midfielders actually launched a wave of sieges in the midfield.
This is Barcelona's tactical requirement.
But at the same time, the tactical requirements are very similar to those of Sporting Lisbon and Manchester City.
This is why Quaresma and Ronaldinho integrated so smoothly in Barcelona and performed so brilliantly.
The same is also the reason why Guardiola integrated so smoothly into Sporting Lisbon.
The miracle of Sporting Lisbon is also due to his contribution.
Especially in the UEFA Cup, if Deng Kai is the core of the team, then he can be regarded as the core of backcourt offense and organization, right?
Backcourt players: Aren’t the backcourts the core of defense?
Pirlo: Guatotu, you know football!
boom!
After receiving the ball, Deng Kai dribbled the ball laterally and got rid of Harvey's entanglement. Then he separated and found Maicon.
Maicon dials the ball to start the ball, and it looks like he is about to make a sudden wave, right?
Van Bronckhorst, who was already a little far away from Maicon, retreated quickly, preparing to restrict Maicon in the attacking third.
Barcelona made a very detailed analysis of Manchester City players.
Manchester City's two full-backs are something they attach great importance to.
Many people believe that the core of Manchester City's offense is Deng Kai.
That's not wrong.
But in fact... Deng Kai's offense only accounts for more than 30% of the team's total.
The remaining 60% were initiated by the two full-backs!
boom!
Just after halftime, Maicon suddenly took off without any defense.
A cross at an angle of 45 degrees!
This... Barcelona people are confused.
This horse-riding guy...won't he hit the bottom and pass again?
Isn't this kind of play sloppy?
This kind of kicking style that has no technical content, does not pursue absolute offensive opportunities, and follows a dull kick forward is the most typical kicking style in England... long pass and lob!
It’s so special that it’s the most simple thing, isn’t it?
If Barcelona's contempt for Xia Di Chuan is a bit like Tesla's contempt for domestic electric vehicles.
So Barcelona's disdain for long passes is the same as Teste's disdain for Emma, Xiaodao, Luyuan, Tailing and other electric vehicles.
But then again.
Tester... maybe he no longer has the right to look down on others.
In a few years, or even in the past few years, the domestically produced cars will no longer look down on Tesla’s rough housing!
boom!
Adriano ran rampant in the penalty area and then leaped high above Puyol.
Puyol stared speechlessly.
High, just as domineering as a horse!
Football electric shot into the net.
"GOAL! One to zero!"
"The total score between the two sides is three to two! Manchester City has taken the lead, and Manchester City has taken the initiative!"
"Adriano has done a great job!"
"Maicon and Adriano are connected! Two Brazilians are in the Nou Camp, leading the team with the core players of the Brazilian team!"
"Maicon and Adriano are very likely to appear in this summer's Copa America. There is a high probability that the Brazilian national team will call them up."
Of course, in the past two years, the Copa America has been a training ground for new players for the powerful Brazilian team.
Which player on the Brazilian team is not the core of the club?
There are so many games in each season, so you need to rest when you need to.
Only the World Cup can make them go all out.
Therefore, in the Copa America, there is a high probability that the second team of Brazil will play.
Superstars such as Ronaldo, Carlos, Ronaldinho and Kaka will definitely not go.
Adriano, Maicon, and even Thiago Silva have a high probability of entering Brazil's second team.
And Adriano is a well-deserved core.
If it weren't for his rise in the past two seasons and lack of team resume, he could also go directly to the first team without playing in the America's Cup based on his explosive performance this season.
Of course, Adriano himself is also very eager to play in the America's Cup.
After all, he has won few championships now, and no matter how small the lice are, they are still meat.
Deng Kai: Are you pointing out that I didn’t lead you to win more championships? I’m sorry, right?
