Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 194

"The ball went in!"

"A shot from Messi!"

"3-2!"

"The Argentine star helped the team recover one point!"

"Chen Chen scored twice over there, and Messi scored a goal over here!"

"It can really be said that you finish singing and I come on stage!"

In the Migu studio, Zhan Jun said with a sigh.

Although big-score games are common, today is not an uncommon thing.

Today is a head-to-head confrontation between the top two players in active football and the top player of the new generation!

From the perspective of goals, assists and instigation and organization, these 5 goals are all related to Messi and Chen Chen.

Both sides have big legs in C!

In the Etihad Stadium, the Paris fans who traveled with the team were in a boiling state. Messi's wonderful performance gave them hope of equalizing and winning!

And for neutral fans, it was really enjoyable to watch today!

Soon the game started again.

The fans are also looking forward to the next plot!

On the court, Messi did not have much joy after scoring a goal, after all, the team was still one goal behind.

The Argentine began to direct Guy to the defensive midfielder position, and Guy needed to help Paredes defend the defensive midfielder area.

This was Messi's own idea, and of course Pochettino's idea.

After all, scoring a goal depends on luck and timing, and doing a good job of defense is the most important thing, so that there will be more and better counterattack opportunities.

On the Manchester City side, although a goal was scored, the mentality of the Blue Moon players was still good, and everyone did not lose their composure.

Guardiola on the sidelines made a small adjustment to the tactical play.

Now Manchester City needs to focus on the wing forward to compress the opponent's space, rather than passing and penetrating the middle.

Manchester City's passing and control are indeed good, but considering that Messi came to the middle, the opponent played a diamond position to strengthen the hardness of the midfield. Then in the case of a lack of manpower on the wing of Paris, there is no problem in making a few waves of bottom crosses.

And there is another advantage, that is, compared with the midfielder, even if the pass is wrong, there is no need to worry about the opponent's counterattack immediately.

34th minute.

Rodri made a wonderful pass to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen did not choose to continue dribbling the ball himself, because there were people in front of him to stop him.

So Chen Chen decisively chose to do two bicycle kicks first, and then pass the ball straight!

A straight pass between Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes accurately came to Mahrez's feet, and the Algerian striker made a close shot!

Navas reacted quickly, and he finally had the time to save the ball.

36th minute of the game.

Paris's offensive round.

After three or two kicks, the ball came to Messi's feet.

In addition to the excellent dribbling and passing, the Argentine is also very good at passing.

This wave came from Messi's outside instep straight pass, allowing Mbappe in front to get the ball smoothly!

Then, facing a half-single shot, Mbappe, under the threat of Ruben Dias, staggered and performed a famous scene of lowering his head and pushing the ball!

It feels like Manchester United's Anthony!

In response, Mr. MacArthur, a five-star general, said, I don't care who you are, please don't get off Mbappe!

Soon the game time came to the 41st minute.

Chen Chen moved to the left and dribbled the ball at high speed.

After encountering obstacles, Chen Chen immediately gave the ball to Cancelo who was ready to respond behind him.

Cancelo did not hesitate and kicked the ball directly into the penalty area!

The football drew a curved arc in the air and came to the penalty area!

B Seat and Mahrez, who were standing and not moving much, started instantly, and the two of them rushed out directly from the opponent's back line!

Nuno Mendes, who was far away, quickly stretched out his hand to indicate that there was offside.

But the linesman did not raise the flag!

Kimpembe and Marquinhos, who were close, felt a chill in their crotch.

It's broken!

This is a single shot!

The two of them quickly reached out to pull the Manchester City players around them, namely B席 and Mahrez.

But it would have been fine if they hadn't done it, but once they did, B席 fell to the ground!

"Beep!"

The referee quickly blew the whistle, stretched out his hand to indicate that there was a foul, then bent down to draw the line, and awarded Manchester City a set-piece outside the penalty area.

B席 sat on the ground with his hands spread out, expressing surprise and speechlessness.

The Portuguese thought it should be a penalty!

Chen Chen and Mahrez became B席's mouthpieces, and the two surrounded the referee Orsato to put pressure on him.

Paris also immediately surrounded the referee.

However, their request was not for the referee to cancel the penalty, but for the referee to stick to this penalty.

This is quite interesting.

I don't expect the referee to cancel the penalty, but I hope the referee will stick to the first penalty and not change it easily...

This is a bit like the window effect.

You said you want to give Manchester CityA set-piece, then Paris will definitely not accept it, they will argue with you.

But if a penalty kick that can be given or not is marked as a set-piece, then the Paris players will definitely accept it.

The moment when B seat was pulled to the ground happened on the penalty area line. It is difficult to see whether it is outside or inside the line. This mainly depends on the referee's penalty.

Although it is the VAR era now, if the referee insists on giving a penalty kick, no one can do anything.

So now the referee decides a set-piece, what else can be said? Accept it.

Otherwise, it would be miserable to give a penalty kick.

The referee's decision was very firm, so Chen Chen did not continue to insist too much, and let the set-piece be a set-piece.

Not long after, Chen Chen stood in front of the ball.

In the penalty area of ​​Paris, the human wall has been arranged.

Originally, Mbappe and Messi would wait for a counterattack in the frontcourt, but because of the great defensive pressure, the two of them also returned to the penalty area.

Chen Chen and Gundogan stood in front of the penalty spot, both of them covered their mouths and muttered something.

Finally Gundogan ran away, and Chen Chen took the penalty.

"Huh!"

Chen Chen took a deep breath.

At this moment, he seemed to feel the mentality of Ronaldo when he kicked the elevator axe.

That was a belief of "I am the king"!

Or, it was a mindset of a must-go!

Navas in front of the goal was facing a formidable enemy!

Good guy, he had kicked an elevator ball before, and he still wants to do it with this posture?

"Beep!"

Orsato blew the whistle.

Chen Chen took a deep breath and then swung his arm forward!

It is difficult to kick the elevator axe at this distance. The height of the ball rising and falling is too steep, and no one can grasp this degree.

So Chen Chen chose to use clever strength and kicked a curved shot aimed at the near post!

The moment Chen Chen rubbed the ball, Navas was ready to save to the right.

Of course, this is his guess.

It is impossible for a goalkeeper to wait for the ball in front of the goal, because the speed of human reaction cannot be faster than the speed of the ball.

This also explains why most goalkeepers will leave the goal line in advance when taking a penalty kick, because they have made an advance judgment.

However, there is still a difference between ordinary goalkeepers and god-level goalkeepers.

Neuer, Alisson, Courtois, Damian Martinez and others are such god-level goalkeepers. They can analyze the possible direction through the opponent's arm and leg swinging movements.

After all, everyone has his own habit of taking penalty kicks or other set pieces, and the physical reaction at this moment cannot be acted.

Navas is also one of these people, but now he is old, Navas does not want to guess, and his physical condition and physical reaction cannot be guessed by him.

When the football really flew to his right, Navas' face flashed a trace of joy and "as expected"!

But the next moment, the smile on the Costa Rican's face disappeared, and it moved to the face of Ruben Dias who was closer!

Navas touched the football!

But he could only watch the football pass through his fingertips.

Although the direction changed a little bit, the overall direction of travel was not changed!

"Go in, go in!"

"4-2!"

"Hat trick!"

"This is Chen Chen's third hat trick this season!"

"It was a hat trick against Paris!"

"Good guy! He scored one goal and one assist against a weak team, but he went all out against a strong team!"

"Hahahaha! If you ask me, it would be better to give Manchester City a penalty kick. Mahrez and Sterling may not be able to score!"
