Vol 5 Chapter 462: Outdated star

The key issue in Barcelona's offense is Messi's defense.
Messi thought about performance, but after the game started, he felt a tighter defense than the last game. He wanted to cooperate with his teammates, but the ball was difficult to pass, and he wanted to find opportunities for himself, but faced with the experienced cloth Rumer and Morris did not know what to do.
Barcelona's attack on Manchester City is desperate. They want to reverse the victory. Every player is very active. Messi seems to be the one who is behind.
In the 11th minute and the 17th minute, Messi's goal was proved.
"Messi was broken again, this is the second time! It's the second time! It's the second time! He faced with Blumer's defense, he was a little hesitant." Spain who is looking forward to Messi's performance The narrator, some discouraged said, "Messi's state seems to have not been recovered ..."
This is what the media and fans think.
From the perspective of the audience, it is actually difficult to see Manchester City's tight defense against Messi. After all, only when Messi may receive the ball, or when there is a ball, Manchester City will defend. At the same time, other Barcelona players will also be defended. The running of one or two players can hardly be noticed. Only those who analyze the game professionally can notice that Messi is defensively dead.
However, even if you see Messi defended dead, the media and fans will take it for granted.
Who makes Messi the number one star in Barcelona?
The number one star will definitely be guarded against by the opponent, otherwise what is the number one star?
Therefore, the media and fans will not consider Messi's game feeling. All they see is that Messi is not performing well, and then they will be disappointed with Messi's performance.

Barcelona coach Rijkaard is sitting on the coach and watching the game.
He kept watching Messi.
Messi is a key player in Barcelona and a key player in this game. If Messi does not play well, it will definitely affect the team.
After the last round of the game, Rijkaard found Messi and did a lot of mental work for him, hoping he could get past this level.
As a coach, he still appreciates the outstanding young stars. Although Rijkaard knows that he may leave Barcelona at the end of the season, he still encourages Messi to survive, he believes, As long as Messi can pass the Manchester City defense, the future will be bright. What kind of defense he will encounter in the future, he can play very well.
Unfortunately, Manchester City's defense is still too difficult for Messi.
After all, he is not yet 21 years old.
Many players stay at the youth teams of various clubs at this age. Even if those talents are the same, Messi is a genius among geniuses, so he can enter the first team of Barcelona and become the number one star in Barcelona, ​​but and Other geniuses are the same, he is too young.
Being young means inexperience.
Compared with those old players, he has too little experience, and his ability to bear is obviously a bit problematic. Maybe he can get better with more experience, but it is still too early for him.
Rijkaard sighed.
The UEFA Champions League semi-final is not a good place to train young players. The team can't bear the bitter consequences of losing. After 20 minutes of play, Messi still has not much performance, so do you want to replace him now?
Rijkaard hesitated.
For a head coach, it is a very difficult choice to replace a player within 20 minutes of the game. This means that he overthrew his starting lineup, which is equivalent to hitting his own face.
But is dignity important in the face of the current situation?
After the game, the Spanish media want to say what they want to say. Anyway, if they lose the game, they cannot continue to coach Barcelona, ​​and they will simply fight!
Soon everyone saw a surprise scene-Barcelona chose a substitution, Messi, who has always been plain, was replaced, and Brazilian star Ronaldinho, who did not play for the team for almost half of the season, was replaced Play.

"Let's see, Barcelona has been replaced and Messi has been replaced!"
"It was Brazilian star Ronaldinho who played on behalf of Barcelona after Christmas. Ronaldinho has not played a game for Barcelona! Now, when Barcelona is in crisis, At that time, Rijkaard once again trusted the Brazilians. Is this trust correct? "
Seeing Ronaldinho play, Wan Sheng was very cautious.
Wan Sheng did not expect Ronaldinho to play. The team's defenses are all directed against Messi. If they are used in Ronaldinho, they will definitely have an effect, but the specific effect is still necessary. Look at Ronaldinho's performance.
If he will be Ronaldinho, then the team's defense is likely to be useless.
On the contrary ... Of course, don't worry too much.
The next few minutes of play proved that Wan Sheng ’s fears were necessary and that Rijkaard ’s substitutions were still useful.
Ronaldinho broke through Blumer's defense twice in a row!
The Brazilian seems to have found his peak again. He took the ball twice to the Manchester City defense line, which brought a big crisis to Manchester City's back defense.
The Barcelona fans who came to Manchester with the team cheered wildly. They kept shouting Ronaldinho's name, as if they saw the world footballer who was galloping in the green field!
Although no goals were scored, Ronaldinho's performance has already won the recognition of the media and fans.
"This is Ronaldinho! The world's top star! Even if his position in Barcelona is unstable, every appearance can still pose the greatest threat to opponents!"
"It's time to be careful about Manchester City!"
"Messi is off, but Ronaldinho is in better shape and Rijkaard made the right decision!"
The Spanish media praised with excitement, but they seemed a little too happy too early.
Ronaldinho did not bring a goal for Barcelona. The following game also proved that Ronaldinho's state was not stable. When Morris assisted Brumer to defend, Ronaldo El Dinho felt the pressure. Under the defensive pressure of the two, he even directly passed the ball to Morris after receiving a pass from his teammates.
This was a mistake, but it was very fatal!
Manchester City launched a quick counterattack!
Morris passed the ball to Silva, who drove the ball across the center line and drove in at half-time in Barcelona. The ball was passed to Torres after being blocked by Milito.
Torres took the ball straight to the penalty area of ​​Barcelona!
Manchester City fans are crying hard, they are excited to watch Torres rush into the Barcelona penalty area!
"This is a good opportunity!"
The stadium broadcast Berbat yelled, "Torres! Torres! Torres! Let's see—"
No one in Barcelona can stop in front of the 'Golden Boy'.
The only thing that can be stopped is goalkeeper Valdes!
Valdés stared straight at Torres and calmly chose to attack. When the two were approaching, Torres swung his right foot to complete the shot.
A very calm hanging door!
Valdes raised his hands subconsciously to block the ball, but it was more like a surrender. The football jumped high above his head. He turned his head to watch the ball fall into the goal. His eyes revealed a despair.
3 to 0!
Manchester City led Barcelona by three goals in two rounds!
Anyone can know why Valdes is desperate, because other Barcelona players also have the same look.
After this goal, they were three goals behind.
Three balls!
They haven't scored one goal in two rounds till now, how to chase after three goals behind?
Manchester City supporters do n’t care so much, when football flies into the goal, the stadium broadcast Berbat has roared, "Goooooooooooooal !!!"
"Torres! Torres! Torres!"
"Manchester City launched a quick counterattack! Torres helped Manchester City to change the score to 3 to 0, I believe Barcelona is unlikely to have any chance!"
"Before the match, Wan Sheng said," Let Barcelona people know how they completed it without a chance to reverse it. "Many people think it is arrogant, but maybe this goal is the answer for players to replace Wan Sheng!"
"Manchester City have led by three goals, and Barcelona have to score three more goals if they want to eliminate Manchester City! At Manchester Stadium, it is almost impossible to finish against the tightly defended Manchester City!"
"Now at this moment, it may be Torres who scored. This is his 10th Champions League goal for Manchester City!"
"In one season, the Champions League scored 10 goals. I dare say Torres will be the best scorer in the Champions League this season, because the second ranked 407 / \"> Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has only scored 7 goals, among which One of them is a penalty ... "
"Now we should say, congratulations on Manchester City's goal!"
"But after that, we have to say, congratulations to Manchester City for the Champions League final!"

Torres's goal was undoubtedly a huge blow to Barcelona.
Originally there was a gap of two goals ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now I have been scored another one, how can I catch the gap of three goals?
They couldn't see hope at all.
Manchester City's tight defense made them desperate. It was very difficult for them to even score a goal, not to mention three goals, so many Spanish media began to play "excellent", that is ... to find the reason.
Why would Barcelona lose the ball?
Of course it was because of Ronaldinho, it was because of his conceding that he gave Manchester City a chance to fight back.
So various media began to criticize Ronaldinho for not performing well. They did not think about it at all. Messi did not perform well before, so they were replaced. Ronaldinho played only ten minutes. Instead, they became the culprit in Barcelona's loss to Manchester City.
This is the difference between ‘new star’ and ‘old star’.
Messi is a new star, young players, all mistakes made by young players are forgivable, and Barcelona is willing to use resources to cultivate such genius; Ronaldinho was also the core of Barcelona The number one star, but he is outdated. (To be continued.)
