Chapter 1207 A hat-trick in the Champions League final
Chapter 1207 A hat-trick in the Champions League final
It is not that Barcelona has never encountered a team that plays defensive counterattacks. For example, their rival Real Madrid in the domestic league this year is a defensive counterattack style.
But Barcelona didn't feel how difficult Real Madrid was to deal with. At Camp Nou, they even beat Real Madrid 5-0.
But this time in the Champions League final, Barcelona found that Manchester City's defensive counterattack made them feel uncomfortable...
It's not that Manchester City's defensive counterattack tactics are better than Real Madrid's defensive counterattack tactics.
It's because Manchester City has glory, Real Madrid doesn't.
The difference is as simple as that.
Manchester City playing defensive counterattack is actually more terrifying!
※※※
Barcelona were a bit confused after conceding the ball, but Messi was still alive.
He is not reconciled, he has already been tied by glory in the Champions League scorer list, he doesn't care about this now, he cares more about the final champion of the Champions League.
He was not willing to let Rong Guang beat him again, and then took away the champion...
Even without the support of his teammates, he still wants to challenge Glory.
"Messi!!" With the roar of the commentator, Messi shot the ball and was saved by Joe Hart. This was also the most threatening attack after Barcelona lost the ball.
But Messi is not satisfied, because the goal is still not scored.
He shook his fist vigorously, looking angry.
He was not angry that the goal was missed, he was angry at his performance.
I got more chances in this game than glory, because Barcelona played offensive football before and took the initiative. Messi, as the core of the team, will naturally get all the pass assists from Barcelona teammates.
But he only scored one goal.
And Rongguang has already scored two goals, and these two goals are actually a manifestation of Rongguang's personal ability...
Such a comparison, the gap between himself and Rongguang is too big.
This comparison made Messi feel a little frustrated, but at the same time urged him to work harder, because if he didn't work harder, he might be left farther away by Glory...

Although there are still more than ten minutes before the end of the game, Manchester City fans are already cheering and singing for the victory, completely turning Wembley Stadium into Manchester City Stadium.
Although the Barcelona fans in the stands did not give up, they were still cheering for their team.
But amidst the chants of the frenziedly excited Manchester City fans, their voices could not be heard at all.
So whether it is at the scene or in front of the TV, all you can hear are the voices of Manchester City fans.
Although at this time, Manchester City is actually only leading by one goal, as long as Barcelona scores another goal, the score can be equalized, and there will be a chance to play overtime.
But none of Manchester City fans think they can be reversed by Barcelona.
It's simple, they have glory!
If there is glory, how could he allow such a thing to happen?

No.801 minutes, Barcelona launched an attack again, Manchester City players shrunk their defense, and Rong Guang ran from the front to the center circle.
But when passing the ball forward, Busquets made a mistake in his through pass.He was going to pass the football to Xavi.
In the end, the astute Sneijder broke out from the middle and directly intercepted the ball!
Then Sneijder passed the football to Barcelona's backcourt almost without any hesitation!
At this time, Manchester City fans are still cheering for him to steal the ball successfully.
John Mortenson exclaimed: "Will the pass be too hasty! Don't worry, you can wait! Such a pass..."
What John Mortensen wanted to say was that Sneijder should not pass the ball forward in a hurry. Although Busquets made a pass error, Manchester City was like a pie in the sky.
But in football games, there are too many such things where the opponent makes a sudden pass error, but the winning side is often not able to seize such opportunities. Most of the reasons are due to haste - for this sudden possession of the ball, due to lack of preparation, the player who holds the ball does not know what to do.
In his view, Sneijder's kick belongs to the category of haste.
It stands to reason that he should at least observe the situation. If he can make a quick counterattack, then he can make a quick counterattack. If he can't, then he should protect the football, or make a cross or return pass, control the rhythm, and attack slowly.
But Sneijder didn't even raise his head, and passed the football directly...
In the eyes of many people, it is naturally reckless.
It's not just John Mortensen who thinks so, but also almost all the commentators in the commentary booth, and many viewers in front of the TV.
But at the moment of passing the ball, Sneijder knew very well in his heart that he did not pass the ball casually, he was optimistic about the pass.
His goal is... Glory!
※※※
At the same time as Sneijder steals the ball, Rong Guang who was running back suddenly stopped, then turned around and ran forward without hesitation!
Mascherano, who was originally following him, was stunned by Rong Guang's action. He didn't realize until Rong Guang turned around successfully. Rong Guang was going to catch the ball!
At this time, Mascherano will definitely not have the same idea as those commentators.
Sneijder is not necessarily a blind pass!
Although he may not have seen who passed the football, and whether he passed it or not, it doesn't matter, as long as Rong Guang runs away, he must catch up!
Busquets' heart stopped for a second when he saw Sneijder intercept him.
But when he saw that Sneijder quickly passed the football behind him again, he felt relieved-it is difficult to pass the football accurately and well in such a hurry. In all likelihood, the football was passed back to the Barcelona players. He was not in a hurry.
With this kind of mood, he looked back... Hun'er was almost scared to death!
What did he see?
He saw the back of Rongguang running wildly, and the backs of other Barcelona teammates chasing Rongguang.
And in front of them, there is a football that is speeding forward against the turf!
Rong Guang was chasing the ball, at his speed...
Busquets could hardly think about it.
So he hastily turned around and chased back, regardless of whether his speed was useful or not, his body had already subconsciously reacted like this.
After passing the ball, Sneijder didn't move at all, and stood still and entered the mode of watching a movie.
In fact, with his speed and the distance between him and the football, it is useless to run up. It is better to save some energy. After all, the physical fitness of many people has begun to decline significantly after playing this game...
※※※
"Rong!!"
John Mortensen's previous complaints were interrupted, and he changed his mouth and yelled Rong Guang's name.
Because he found the glory of turning around and chasing football very, very fast!
Sneijder is not a hasty and blind pass as he imagined!
Everyone is chasing after football, but it is obvious that the speed that can see Rongguang is the fastest. He is far ahead of Mascherano, and he also has an advantage in the speed competition with several other Barcelona players around him.
Finally, he caught up with the football at the free throw arc in front of the penalty area. He didn't continue to dribble or stop the ball. After Rong Guang caught up with the football, he swung his foot and took a long shot!
When he shot the football, Alves had just run to his side, but he was powerless and could only watch the football fly towards the goal.
"Rong—Shoot!!"
Valdez soared into the air, and in the air he tried his best to extend his arms and stretch his body.
But he still hasn't touched football...
The football flew between his hand and the post and crashed into the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! HAT! HAT! HAT Trick!!" John Mortenson repeated excitedly. "Rong completed a hat-trick! He completely sealed the victory for Manchester City! There is no way for Barcelona to have another chance to pull two goals in a row in the remaining time! Absolutely impossible! Barcelona will lose!"
He is very excited, because this ball is related to the championship.
The Manchester City fans in the stands also jumped up from their seats when the football flew into the net, raising their arms and shouting together, completely drowning out the cheers of the Barcelona fans.
Their thoughts are the same as that of John Mortensen, they are not only cheering for the ball, they are more cheering for the champion!
Manchester City are finally on the verge of becoming the kings of Europe!

The Barcelona players saw the football being shot into the goal by Rong Guang's clean long-range shot. Many of them covered their heads in pain, and some simply looked up at the sky, unable to bear to watch the football bouncing in the goal.
1:3, with 10 minutes left in the game, how could they pull two goals in a row and not let Manchester City score?
The Barcelona fans in the stands were also silent, and many of them sat blankly in their seats, staring at the stadium without saying a word.
When they came to Wembley Stadium in high spirits and wanted to witness the team they supported win the UEFA Champions League trophy for the fourth time in history, I am afraid that none of them expected to see such a scene in the end.
This made them a little bit reconciled.
Because of this final, they didn't lose to Manchester City, but only to Rong Guang...
Barcelona's football has always been proud of being strong as a whole, but it was such a strong whole that lost to one person.This is simply a subversion of their three views on football.
The Catalan commentator was completely silent. Watching the Manchester City players celebrate wantonly, he didn't know what to say. Of course he didn't want to cheer for Manchester City, but he couldn't say something comforting for the Barcelona fans.
Clearly, Barcelona failed.
have nothing to say.
