Football Legend No. 13

The second half of the game officially begins.

Although it was Manchester City's attacking round on the field, Barca's pressing allowed Manchester City's players to start passing quickly.

With quick passes from their players, City's attackers quickly overwhelmed the half.

Next is the real hard part, how to break the door!

Cross?

Manchester City's front court except Zheng Lin, other players do not have any advantage when competing for crosses, the best is only to grab points to score!

And grabbing this is Aguero's strength, so in this aspect must play his strengths, followed by the full-backs on both sides can cross, maybe Navas will be relatively poor!

So the best option is to let Zheng Lin execute this cross, of course, this is just an option.

For David Silva, the current Barça midfield defense is not like an iron barrel, but Mascherano's defense is very good, which is one of the reasons why he was finally retreated to the central defender position by Barca.

Against Mascherano's defence, he kept an eye on the other two, Rakitic and Andres Iniesta.

As Andres Iniesta's national teammate, he is well aware of the quality of this guy, an attacking midfielder with good playmaking skills, and his fame is not proportional to his strength.

A pulling ball connected with a fancy move, David Silva completed the breakthrough directly from the side of Pony Junior, and despite the confrontation, David Silva could pass directly to the trident in front to complete the goal.

Barca's entire back line is well aware of this situation, and the full-backs directly bite the full-backs on both sides.

For Alves, who is quite stressed, his defensive object is not so easy to handle.

Manchester City's No.13 is tall, good at fighting, can pass the ball and can shoot, which makes his defensive choices difficult.

For a player like this, it's really hard to make the best choice because you never know what he's going to choose next.

David Silva, who is one of Zheng Lin's most familiar partners, naturally also knows, so he directly picks the pass.

A high ball goes straight past Pique .

Sensing David's thoughts, Zheng Lin's explosive power was also displayed at this moment.

For the sudden outbreak of Zheng Lin, Alves' first reaction was to grab it, and when he grabbed Zheng Lin's jersey, he found that he couldn't stop people.

Instead, he was directly brought down by Zheng Lin.

But then Zheng Lin faced Pique who came to the defense, he failed to complete the goal, and the football hit Pique on the leg and was directly confiscated by Ter Stegen.

The first attack of the second half, Manchester City finally failed, then the next thing to face is Barca's endless suppression attack.

Manchester City naturally do not do as well as Barca in terms of control in midfield, plus Barca's tactics, they have always been in the rhythm they are most familiar with.

This is one of the reasons why the players that Barca buy are a little uncomfortable.

The biggest question for Barca at the moment is who can take his place as Xiaobai ages.

At present, among Barca's Habwhite three, Xavi has taken a back seat, and Andres Iniesta is getting older, so Barca have begun to consider finding a successor for him.

With Andres Iniesta in midfield, City are currently shrinking their defence, laying as many iron barrels as possible in their own half.

In the face of Barca, Mourinho also gave a demonstration, and the invincible Barça dynasty was temporarily ended by him.

However, there is a huge gap between the current Manchester City and the original Nerazzurri, which can only be reflected from the back line, but for Manchester City, many things need to be fought for.

Not to mention that the current Barça is not the Barça of the year, so only hard work can live up to those expectations!

In the 52nd minute of the game, Messi received a pass from Rakitic, he adjusted slightly, with a croquette to get rid of Zheng Lin directly, but in the subsequent confrontation, he was forcefully "knocked" to the ground by Zheng Lin.

But Messi sent the ball to Suarez's feet with a final cross.

After receiving the ball, Suarez dunked Demichelis and shot straight up and shot on goal.

How could Joe Hart go down and shut this shot away.

In the 55th minute of the game, Barca made a comeback, this time with Neymar on the left and the front trident MSN once again combined.

Messi, who turned from the left to the right, received the ball and pulled it straight into the far corner, only to be blocked by Joe Hart.

And the ball failed to leave the box, which gave Barca the opportunity to make up the shot.

Suarez, who followed up with the supplementary shot, rarely flew the ball directly, and this result made him hold his head in his hands, very annoyed.

But if it is not flying, then it will still be supported by Joe Hart who stands up.

In the 61st minute of the match, Manchester City's forward pass was directly intercepted by Mascherano, and Barca launched a counterattack on the spot.

However, he was stopped by a tackle by David Silva, but due to the dangerous nature of the action, he ended up carrying the first Topaz card of the game!

Although he had a yellow card, he at least stopped Barca's attack.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

Over the next three minutes, Barca went on the offensive again, this time with Andres Iniesta kicking the ball straight through.

This direct kick tore through City's defence, allowing Suarez to face the goalkeeper, but there was no problem with his choice to hit the goal, but he chose too high an angle and was once again directly denied by Joe Hart.

In less than ten minutes, Barca had already completed several attempts, but they were all blocked by Joe Hart.

With Joe Hart's blocking, Manchester City's morale is also slowly improving, after all, it is not good to be pressed and beaten, which can easily damage the player's self-confidence.

And Barca also wondered if his shooting skills were so unbearable for Joe Hart's save, and some seemingly inevitable goals were finally stopped by him!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Manchester City finally ushered in one of the few opportunities, this time still the main attack point is on Zheng Lin's side, and it is Zheng Lin who can make Pellegrini attach great importance to on the field.

As for why he was made the left midfielder of this game, it is because in terms of physical conditions, the current Zheng Lin is enough to threaten Barca's goal, only the closer to the goal, the more this chance to break the goal will happen!

In the face of Alves' defense, Zheng Lin did not despise it, because he knew that although this guy was known for his attack, who could say that this guy's defense was poor?

If it is poor, then he will not be able to sit in Barca's starting right-back.

So when it's about this guy, and it's about the survival of your players, you have to be more careful.

As the small broken step advanced, Zheng Lin also noticed the position of his teammate on the right.

It is clear that in addition to being able to go down to the bottom for an inverted triangle cross, he does not have many options, as for the cross to compete for the top of the head, then you are definitely joking, let a guy of one meter seven compete for the top among two big tall, this is crazy!

According to Zheng Lin's own prediction, he believes that he has reached a position where he can pass the ball, because Alves has been blocking Zheng Lin's right side, and once he needs to change direction and break through, Alves, who is keeping a certain distance, can step forward to stop it at the first time.

But he guessed that he would pass the ball, but he couldn't imagine that Zheng Lin's boldness would be so big, and he directly kicked a powerful arc to the ground.

The football cut an arc on the grass and the destination was directed at Aguero and others in the penalty area.

"Nice pass, is this looking for Aguero? This gives him the opportunity to form a grab in the box! "

Grabbed it, hit the door!!"

"Mathieu, is this crazy?! Drag people directly here! "

Just as Aguero was about to push hard, he felt a force behind him, which also caused him to roll twice on the ground.

At this time, Mathieu directly solved the bottom line.

But the referee was not so talkative, and directly served with a yellow card, and also pointed to the point.

"Jeremy Mathieu, this is pushing Barça down the abyss!"

"In the 74th minute of the game, a reckless act by Mathieu allowed Manchester City to receive a yellow dot package, for this precious penalty, as long as it is scored, then they have the confidence to compete with Barca! Otherwise, this one will have to come back next year! "

Everyone has everyone's opinion about Mathieu's choice and if Mathieu had not committed a foul, he would have been able to score based on Sergio Aguero's previous performance.

Pay attention here, if nothing else, what if there is a problem?

As a player, you are naturally aware of what is happening on the 12-yard line, which is a place to step into the light and also a place to fall into the abyss.

No one could say that he could retreat from the twelve-yard line, not even the king of the ball.

For this penalty, Aguero wanted to take the penalty, but was snatched by Zheng Lin first.

After all, just now Little Thirteen reminded this ball not to give it to Aguero, he is likely to miss it!

At this time, Zheng Lin chose to grab the penalty, which also made Aguero stunned for a moment, his face also changed, and finally did not speak, he stood aside, and he knew that he was going to give up this penalty.

And this also makes the commentators confused, is there a contradiction? This shouldn't be!

For the reporters who eat melons, since there is a scramble for penalties, will there be a bigger problem next?

This also made many journalists excited.

If you can find such a piece of news by then, it is up to you to make tomorrow's headlines!

Standing on twelve yards, Zheng Lin stared at Ter Stegen, he stood there breathing heavily, and the scene became silent, which was also a test for Barca.

As long as you pounce, then Barca will eventually advance without suspense, if not, then Barca will go out and attack!

"Drip!"

Zheng Lin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after opening his eyes again, his gaze became extremely firm.

"Run, knock on the door! The ball went in!!

"Huh!! Manchester City in their most difficult time, Zheng Lin with the penalty for Manchester City to take the lead again, the next thing is up to Barcelona! "

Manchester City have a temporary 1-2 lead away and this is the most dangerous time for Barcelona, with fifteen minutes left and about 18 minutes left in bonus injury time.

The next 18 minutes, which are crucial for Manchester City, and whether they can qualify for the next round depends on these 18 minutes!

The game resumes.

After the kick-off, Barca looked a little anxious because there was really not much time left.

Especially in the continuous attacks in front, they were blocked by Joe Hart, which is already an invisible psychological pressure for them.

In the 79th minute of the game, Barca took possession of the ball from Messi on the right, and he faced Zheng Lin's defense with a fake shot and a real pass directly made Zheng Lin almost fall.

His pass was directed at Suarez, and City's centre-backs paid special attention to the top striker at this moment.

But for him to split sides again, this one option was a little unprepared.

Even Sarnia, who defended Neymar, did not notice that when he was about to go up to make up for the defense, Neymar shot on goal.

This time he chose the far foot, but was unable to break the goal.

In the next few minutes, Manchester City failed to get a chance to attack, and they were firmly suppressed by Barca in their own half "beaten"!

Such a situation is a huge test for Manchester City's precarious defensive line.

Sure enough, the most dangerous moment came!

In the 89th minute of the game, Messi received a pass from Rakitic, and Zheng Lin was responsible for staring at Messi, one of the peerless double arrogants, but Zheng Lin was unusually sober, and he knew that it was impossible to truly prevent Messi.

After he made a wall-hitting cooperation with Alves, Zheng Lin was delayed by his teammate Kolarov, and it was also at this time that Messi crossed directly with an arcing ball.

Suarez snatched ahead of Vincent Kompany with a header that created an opportunity for Andres Iniesta behind him.

For this fleeting opportunity, Iniesta seized it.

He pushed.

"The ball went in!!"

"Andrés Iniesta is once again the savior of Barça! In the last minute of the game, he received a header from his teammate Suarez to equalize for Barca, and now the most crucial moment has come, they are going to play the whole extra time! "

I'd love to see a penalty shootout! That's even more exciting!

"I agree with that!"

......

In less than 3 minutes of the game, Manchester City was directly drawn by Andres Iniesta, which was a big blow for Manchester City, who thought that the joy of victory was coming, but this unexpected was also so uncomfortable as expected!

Three minutes passed in a flash.

Manchester City failed to make any effective advances.

For them, this is undoubtedly a tragic physical battle.

Thirty minutes of extra time are about to begin, and this time it is Barcelona who take the lead.

In regular time, Manchester City are already familiar with such pressure, but this extra time is the test of the last breath!

In regular time, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace, and it was more brutal overtime.

For the next fifteen minutes, the two sides exchanged attacks, but neither scored.

Joe Hart continued his top-notch performance, and despite being scored twice, without his presence, City would have lost more than two goals!

......

In extra time, neither side was able to score.

This most thrilling penalty shootout is here!

Barca took the lead in the lead, the first five are: Suarez, Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, Rakitic;

Manchester City: Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Moussa Sissoko, Kompany, Zheng Lin.

Without any surprises, Suarez opted for the top right corner and the Barca scored the first penalty.

Sergio Aguero, on the other hand, missed a penalty and chose a half-high ball, a goalkeeper's favourite position.

1-0, Barça leads.

It wasn't until Messi's arrival that there were surprises.

Facing Joe Hart, Messi's eyes flashed a rare trace of hesitation, after this game, he can't remember how many shots he was rejected by the England goalkeeper, so will it be the same this time!

"This goal was taken by Messi, no accident..." Before

the words were finished, the commentator's next words were stuck, and they didn't expect that Messi actually kicked directly away!

Musa Sissoko did not pass up this opportunity.

After three rounds of penalties, both sides were 2-2, and the time for nervous excitement came!

Fourth round, no surprises.

In the fifth round, no one missed.

4-4 scoreline, which resulted in penalties having to come back in another round.

In the sixth round, there were goals

....

Until the twelfth round, this is also what no one expected, the penalty shootout, can actually be so exciting.

Eleven round of penalties, both sides ended 10-10, and even the goalkeeper guaranteed not to concede a goal.

Until Zheng Lin's appearance again, the penalty in front of him was not served, and the score at this time had reached 14-13, and the success or failure was here.

On the 12-yard line, this could be City's last shot, which puts a lot of pressure on Zheng Lin.

He took a deep breath and ran, just before he paused and then shot again, this time at an angle of a half-high ball!

"Ter Stegen! Barça's ultimate victory! Zheng Lin's last penalty, the hint that made ter Stegen guess the right direction, also blocked it! "

Barca finally qualified 14-13 in the penalty shootout, and Manchester City can only regret to leave this field, normal game, it is not easy for Manchester City, every time in a precarious situation, they have someone to step up, carry the players forward, although they did not win the final penalty shoot-out, but they still brought us an unforgettable pizza!"

Zheng Linmuleng, who lost the penalty, looked at the celebratory Barca players on the field, he closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state to make himself look less lost.

For the missed penalty, Kompany did not pay attention to it, after all, the leading penalty was also taken by Zheng Lin, and it was not very good for him to grab the penalty, but it was still good for the final result, which is not necessary to blame anything, more in the hope that he can get out of the psychological state of the last missed penalty.

Several other veterans also comforted several teammates with tears in their eyes, for them there are too many things to experience, this is just a game, crying, or need to continue to look forward!

"For Manchester City's players, they can leave the pitch with their chests high, they went from not optimistic about Barca at the beginning, to their final penalty shoot-out, which is an improvement for them and they should leave with pride!"

......
