Vol 7 Chapter 379: The battle is still in full swing (9)

In fact, at the beginning of the season, the agent assistants of the three super giants had secretly met in Madrid to discuss the issue of the super giant war in the new season. The three who played in the World Cup in the summer did not want to fight, and they also reached a verbal agreement at that time.
Wang Ai's idea is that since the time has come to keep a low profile, it's okay to lose once, but the premise is that you can't lose too much, and you can't shake your super foundation. What Messi considers is that Barcelona has come to Barcelona this season, a powerful center Suarez, which has squeezed his attacking opportunities. He has won Cristiano Ronaldo again in La Liga, so it is nothing to lose once. But the development of the situation was beyond their expectations. When Ronaldo rushed into the half season and led them by double digits at most, the fans of Ronaldo couldn't control themselves.
They wandered in groups on the official websites of Barcelona and Manchester City, and on the social accounts of Messi and Wang Ai, mocking the two by swiping the screen. Wang Ai is okay, he has no fundamentals in Europe and can't set off any counterattacks. The firepower, and he is not in La Liga, and Ronaldo's fans know that he is likely to come next season, so the point is not him. Then Messi, who has a basic plan and is still being cared for, can't stand it.
So, Messi decided to fight! Barcelona and Suarez and Neymar all said: Fuck him!
Now Wang Ai's overall attitude is still that it is best to win and accept small losses, and his true attitude this season has been inevitably passed on to the other two through average data, appearance rate, etc., which makes them Both saw a chance to win once... Cristiano Ronaldo lost twice, Messi didn't win either, he just won poor Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, both Messi and Wang Ai have temporarily put down the main battlefield of the European Golden Boot, the super giant war, because the copy of the Champions League has been opened. On February 24, BJ time, Barcelona came to Manchester to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League 16-8 with Manchester City the next day.
The eyes of all Europe and even the whole world are focused here. Last summer, Messi was defeated by Wang Ai in the positive dialogue of the World Cup, and the world regretted it. Now that Messi has a group of stronger teammates, he has come to Wang Ai again, and the "Battle of Revenge" has become the most concentrated voice in the Barcelona media these days.
On the morning of the match day, the two sides successively released the starting rosters, showing the confidence of the coaching staff of both sides. In the evening, the two sides who were ready and ready to go came to the Intihad Stadium almost at the same time. Barcelona has gradually formed and the powerful MSN combination is fully in place, and Manchester City has also put out the strongest attacking triangle of Wang Ai, Aguero and Silva.
On a cool February night, Barcelona in a sultry yellow away jersey and Manchester City in a light blue jersey stood side by side. After sweeping the camera one by one, most fans had a very intuitive impression in their hearts: In addition to Except for the centre-forward, Manchester City's players in almost all positions are less valuable than Barcelona's players at the same position.

Yaya Toure, who played in the African Cup of Nations, has been in a sluggish state since his return, which made the home fans pin their hopes on their own super giants... But the game started in a way that they and the Manchester City team did not expect.
Last season's Triple Crown and Five Crown winners were suppressed from the very beginning. Wang Ai in the frontcourt was alone and only got the ball twice in 20 minutes. Barcelona's MSN combination was very active. They came and went freely in the backcourt of Manchester City, which was waiting. Just when Wang Ai had to retreat to participate in the midfield competition, Suarez scored two goals in 5 minutes, completely fooling Manchester City's defense line. .
Messi, who is good at infiltrating, and Neymar, who is good at inserting, are like two threads. There is a huge spindle between them. Whenever the two threads pull out the gap, the spindle hits heavily. The luxurious Manchester City defense line Under the blow of these three people, it seemed extremely clumsy.
It seems that the MSN combination itself was not prepared for such a smooth operation. They were a little carried away with a two-goal lead away in 35 minutes, and they became loose at the critical moment when they should have pursued the victory, which allowed Manchester City to seize the opportunity.
Wang Ai, who returned to the midfield, forced control of the ball in the competition with Busquets, took advantage of his speed and dashed away from the three Barcelona players in front of him and behind him. When he reached the corner of the penalty area, he fell down with a sharp fake. Pique finally faced Bravo, who was waiting for him, calmly volleying from the far corner.
Wang Ai's goal finally stabilized Manchester City's shaky situation, but it also woke up the arrogant MSN combination, making them serious again. Although they failed to score again in the rest of the first half, they also suppressed Manchester City. Can't make it past halftime.
Returning in the second half, Wang Ai attacked at the opening, and with the assistance of Aguero, forced a header in front of the goal and succeeded. Afterwards, Barcelona, ​​who recovered, gave play to their advantage in controlling the field again, and pressed Manchester City to the half, and in the 14th minute of the second half, Neymar successfully penetrated from the wing and succeeded in front of the goal.
The score then became 3:2.
Manchester City can't care about how many goals they concede at home, so it would be nice to win.
Fortunately, Aguero's stability at the critical moment played a role. In the 21st minute of the second half, he received a good pass from David Silva and hit the far corner to tie the score to 3:3.
So far, both sides are a bit exhausted. Although Manchester City has the home field advantage, they are too tired this season. Even the two attacks launched by Wang Ai in the rest of the time have been fruitless. However, in the final stage of the game, Messi's inability to catch up created a penalty kick and took the penalty himself, making this twists and turns of the UEFA Champions League knockout MSN group the last laugh.
The media comments after the game were naturally unpleasant, "Manchester City is useless except for the terrifying king", "Manchester City has lost ground in the invincible MSN combination. If it weren't for the powerful Wang and the stable Aguero, this would be a complete defeat. ", "The defending champions are completely defeated at home, and the MSN group is on the road ahead"...
Manchester City didn't have time to think too much. Three days later, they faced the challenge of Liverpool in the league. Although the starting Dzeko scored a goal steadily, the game fell behind 1:2 in the 70th minute of the second half. Pellegrini There was no way but to send Wang Ai, who had already entered the rotation, to play. Due to the poor state of the whole team, Wang Ai only got two shots on goal. Fortunately, he scored a goal at the end to tie the score.
Because Chelsea have other competitions, their 27th round of the Premier League will be played at the end of April, so Manchester City can temporarily top the Premier League with a one-point advantage. But what everyone understands is that for the two teams that scored 63 points in 26 rounds, they are very likely to win by then. This top spot is extremely water.
Manchester City, facing an empty-handed season.
