In fact, Guardiola played tricks today, but unfortunately he couldn't fool Enrique.
Before the game, he made a high-profile announcement that Manchester City's two right-backs, Sabaletta and Clichy, are suspicious of injuries and are likely not eligible for participation. Such an important UEFA Champions League group stage highlight, you can't always make do with the second team, so the outside world thinks that Manchester City will still play a three-back.
When the first day before the game came to submit the list, Manchester City suddenly announced that Sabaletta was back and entered the starting lineup.
Well, two weeks ago, he suffered a big loss at the Nou Camp. This time Guardiola must have resumed his four-back formation. Otherwise, what would Sabaletta do in such a hurry.
At the beginning of the game, all the talents suddenly realized that the stubborn and stubborn Guardiola still played three guards.
Otamendi pulled very far to the right. The nominal right-back Sabaletta's position is higher than the midfielder Fei Bird, plus the two wings of the Trident, Sterling and Silva retreat. In fact, Manchester City has six people working in the midfield.
3-6-1, Guardiola slapped a shot, trying to use the midfielder advantage to suppress Barcelona's pass, making Barcelona's offensive and defensive rhythm inconsistent.
But Enrique’s tactics were very simple today. In particular, Barcelona passed through the midfield very quickly, and did not entangle with Manchester City at all. He often handed a long pass to the front msn to play tricks, which is a defensive counterattack.
Although Barcelona do not deliberately pursue pass and cut, they are still the ancestors of pass and cut. Even if they do not specifically create ball possession, their lives are still more detailed than Manchester City.
The number advantage of Manchester City's midfielder has become a decoration, and there is no chance to go around and grab it on the spot. They can only hula la and follow the Barcelona behind the ass, as if they owe money to collect debts.
In the first half, Manchester City fell behind 0:1 at home, and all technical statistics, including possession rate, were all at a weak disadvantage.
However, today's Barcelona is not without weaknesses, as clever as Guardiola, after 45 minutes of observation, keenly grasped.
Barcelona is still number one in Europe on paper, but since Zhuo Yang was there, one weakness has always existed-the substitute. The first on paper refers to Barcelona's regular starting lineup, but they have always lacked a powerful person who can stand up from the bench perfectly.
Especially after Zhuo Yang and Guardiola left, Barcelona's aging starting lineup has been strongly supplemented in recent years. Scar, Neymar, Alba and Suarez, but the strength on the bench is even weaker than before.
Especially in the midfield, Pique and Alba were injured. Today, Barcelona pulled Margo back to the center and played Umtiti as a central defender. They could only play Digne and Roberto on the left and right.
Digne has no speed, which is terrible on Barcelona's wing. Roberto will be great in the future, but not yet.
In the first half, msn's activity concealed the mediocrity of Barcelona's two full-backs, and Manchester City players were struggling to run in the midfield according to the pre-match deployment, and did not make good use of the opponent's weakness.
And although Brother Xiao Ma is fine, but beside Umtiti, who is still slightly immature, he is not as complementary as Pique. Both of them belong to the pre-judgment type, with the same style.
During the intermission, Guardiola ordered the team to continue with three defenders, and Sabaletta is the unscrupulous full-back. Then let Gundogan and De Bruyne lean forward slightly, forming a double front waist in front of Fei Niao.
We don't play midfield anymore, just aiming behind the two Barcelona full-backs and playing against the ribs of the defense.
Enrique doesn't know the weaknesses of his team, but the weaknesses are always relative. It still depends on the performance on the spot. This is a matter of one ebb and flow.
For the protection of the two full-backs, Enrique's tactical arrangement was in charge of Andre Gomez and Rakitic, but in the first half, Manchester City put very little pressure on this aspect, which saves trouble.
But after the start of the second half, with the guidance of the clever, hairless Guardiola, Manchester City is different. Infinite Novel Network
Barcelona’s tactics have not changed. Manchester City’s two front midfielders are aimed at the two full-backs, Roberto and Digne. In addition, Sterling and Silva’s two wings are not good at all, and Barcelona immediately became a little confused. .
In the 51st minute, Tintin broke through Digne's entanglement on the right side of the center line, ran along the sideline with the ball, brushing until the extension line of the penalty area before passing to Sterling who crossed him diagonally.
Sterling got the ball and rushed in, and Ma and Umtiti grabbed it side by side. Sterling was not only happy, but also very clever. Knowing that the distance was too close, he took a step forward because he was just in the penalty area.
He is on the right foot, and then he dials the ball to the right to change direction. Umtiti pounced too hard and hit the right foot that Sterling had changed direction.
There was definitely contact, but Sterling was deliberately looking for a penalty, so he was too exaggerated after the success, and the front pounce was unbearable.
For fear of not attracting the referee's attention, it was like a flop.
Kashay is no longer the Hungarian who blew the whistle back then. After being trained by UEFA for so many years, he has become aware of everything and can't hold him back.
I can't keep it from diving.
Kashay not only failed to give Manchester City a penalty, but also warned Sterling with a yellow card. To be honest, Umtiti couldn't believe it.
Although this attack turned good things into bad things because of Sterling's flamboyant acting skills, it undoubtedly helped Manchester City players find the trick.
In the 53rd minute, Gundogan looked at Roberto and hit him behind him, forcing Rakitic to release a shovel to stop him. Kashay went on business and also gave Rakitic a yellow card.
"During training and games, I sometimes stop to see Messi involuntarily. I have to thank God for allowing me to fight alongside Messi. Even the love letter I wrote to my wife would sincerely praise Messi. Messi is unique. He can run 10,000 meters for him, even if his backache is worth it."-Rakitic
Rakitic is now known as the owner of the ‘Messi Fan Group’ and the number one player in football.
Gundogan, who was overthrown by Rakitic, dare not say, but he must be the most lucky man in the Manchester City team. Three days ago, he picked up two empty goals and scored twice at the Hawthorn Stadium. He was absolutely confident.
In the 57th minute, Silva and Kolarov suddenly forced Roberto together near the bottom corner of the front court. As a result, he could only cross the football to the center in a hurry and tried to hand it to Xiaobu.
Xiao Bu didn't expect him to be so two, and he was stunned by Aguero. After breaking the football, Akun crossed Sterling on the right at the top of the arc.
It was Digne again, but this time Jolly Lin stopped greedy for penalty kicks. He quickly drove the ball down to the penalty zone's waistline, and then strenuously crossed the football back to point~EbookFREE.me~ The line pressed the penalty zone line.
It is said that Gundogan is easy to score a goal, either by picking up a miss or picking up an empty goal, but I don't know that he can run to the location of the miss.
The football slid across the goal, just out of reach of Ter Stegen, and Gundogan magically appeared in the back post. Lifting the foot and knocking, it is another empty door.
1:1, Manchester City equalized the score.
Enrique also found out that Guardiola had caught Barcelona's seven inches at this time, but he was not without a trick. Without a suitable full-back replacement, Enrique made his calculations from the midfield.
After the kick-off, Barcelona replaced Rakitic and A. Gomez in three minutes, replaced by Arda Turan and Rafinha.
At this point, the game really started head-on.
