Barcelona players, who were lagging behind at home, were obviously anxious.
Their offensive tempo began to pick up.
But the great thing about this team is that after speeding up the pace, the passing and receiving are still very smooth.
To put it bluntly, the players have excellent basic skills at their feet.
But soon, Barcelona players also discovered something was wrong.
That is, they entered the "acceleration mode" and failed to lead Manchester City in terms of offensive and defensive speed.
It's as if Manchester City is very adaptable to this rhythm.
Rijkaard's eyebrows were serious.
really!
Manchester City also has an "acceleration mode".
Many people have misunderstandings about passing football.
I think that passing and controlling the ball means constant backcourt moves.
Just hold the ball and slowly control it.
It is believed that the counterattack that is opposed to passing and controlling is fast attack and fast passing.
But in fact, top passing control is never slow!
That kind of quick kick with three or four people in a small area.
That combination of long and short passes.
The kind of short-distance dribbling and lateral escape that starts suddenly.
Compared to the counterattack kick, it definitely looks countless times better.
It's just that most teams don't have enough passing skills.
In other words, their players' foot skills, tactical understanding, and brain reactions are not up to par.
This is also the biggest reason why many weak team cores go to strong teams and end up failing... their brain speed can't keep up.
Maybe in any action, if you ask the core of a weak team to adjust half a step, he can produce an effect comparable to that of the core of a strong team.
But the problem is that the tactics and opponents of the strong team will not give the core of the weak team even half a step of time to adjust.
If you hesitate, you will lose!
This sentence is half a truth in football.
"No wonder Manchester City can play such a terrifying offensive this season." Rijkaard was frightened.
Barcelona currently cannot maintain the "acceleration mode" for a long time. There are still some deficiencies in player abilities and tactics. It may be that the tacit understanding is truly up to standard.
Although some players have only joined Barcelona this season.
But the core members of Barcelona's ball control team have been playing together since childhood.
As for Manchester City, they are also a lineup that was formed last season and has made great contributions this season. But it seems that the understanding of "acceleration mode" is deeper than Barcelona.
Maybe the real tacit understanding is slightly less.
But the average player's technical ability is better than Barcelona.
The tactics also seem to be more complete than Barcelona's.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
Rijkaard had to admit that Barcelona was on the ropes in this game.
But they don't have no chance at all.
The performance of Ronaldinho and Quaresma is crucial to Barcelona.
These two players are currently Barcelona's strongest breaking points and their upper limit.
For Manchester City, Franck Ribery is one and Deng Kai is the other.
Deng Kai has to take on organizational tasks, so his ability to break the game is only 50-50 equal to Ronaldinho's.
Quaresma is much more mature than Ribery.
After all, Quaresma has been famous for a long time, even earlier than Deng Kai, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
He is a model player for Ronaldo!
Ribery only really entered the public eye this season and began to behave like a first-class winger.
oh!
No, this is twenty-five minutes.
After Quaresma changed his center of gravity directly and continuously on the right, he moved the ball down to the bottom, half a body ahead of Ram.
Then he swept the ball into the penalty area with a cross pass, creating a threat.
Unfortunately, when Saviola received the ball, the shooting angle was already very small.
The ball is fast and difficult to handle.
He hit the football on the side netting with a push shot and missed the opportunity.
Thirty-one minutes,
It was Quaresma again, one-on-one with Ram again, and another cross.
But unfortunately, Chiellini beat Saviola with a header to clear the ball.
Saviola, nicknamed Rabbit, is not as good at jumping as Rabbit.
In front of Chiellini who is 1.87 meters tall, giving him a header is disrespectful to Chiellini.
But this also reflects a situation, that is, Ram cannot guard Quaresma.
Thirty-three minutes.
Ronaldinho found a good opportunity in the midfielder position.
Xavi made a diagonal pass to find Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho leaned against Mascherano and pushed the football back with his heel.
Crotchless!
Then he turned around and passed the ball!
Mascherano didn't even know what was happening.
"Oh! Mascherano actually performed well, but trying to guard against Ronaldinho is still a bit impossible."
"Ronaldo is one of the core midfield players of the Brazilian national team."
"And Mascherano hasn't even made it into the Argentina senior national team."
"If he can limit Ronaldinho, he will be called up by the Argentina national team immediately! And become a starter!"
Ronaldinho dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Thiago Silva uses his hands and feet.
But Ronaldinho was too flexible, swayed from side to side, kicked Thiago Silva in the calf, and fell down.
Beep!
The referee blew his whistle and pointed at the penalty spot.
Thiago Silva held his head in pain and did not seek an explanation from the referee.
Because he really couldn't defend himself.
Chiellini went up to fight with the referee, but the referee was firm.
Ten seconds later.
Ronaldinho scored his own penalty.
"GOAL!"
"The total score between the two sides is three to three!"
"Barcelona are ahead of Manchester City with two away goals and they are once again half a foot into the UEFA Cup final!"
"Ronaldo started the samba dance, which was his celebration."
"The shouts of Barcelona fans rang out."
"Camp Nou has become a sea of joy!"
"Young Thiago Silva made a big mistake and he wiped out the team's lead. But we can't blame him because he faced one of the three strongest players in Brazil at the moment. !”
"Twenty-year-old Thiago Silva has also never been selected for the Brazilian national team."
"His performance at Manchester City gave people confidence that he could have this day in the future, but it's obviously not today."
On the court, Deng Kai was comforting Thiago Silva and helping him adjust his condition: "It's okay. If you can't guard Ronaldinho, then Desailly and Kompany can't guard him either."
"It would be good to be able to properly restrict Ronaldinho."
"He is one of the best offensive players in the world and is even better than me in terms of breakthroughs."
Thiago Silva nodded.
Too.
During the team's training match, Thiago Silva was able to properly restrict even Deng Kai, the world's number one player. Now that he failed to guard Ronaldinho, it is obviously Ronaldinho's problem.
Strong violation.
Forty-two minutes.
Deng Kai dribbled the ball horizontally in the middle, shook off Harvey, attracted Davis' defense and then passed to the side.
Ribery stopped and directly killed Van Bronckhorst.
Although Van Bronckhorst played for Arsenal last season, he was mostly a substitute.
At that time, Ribery was still in a relatively immature stage.
He obviously underestimated Ribery's ability and was careless in Jingzhou.
