Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 442 Manchester City: I am not targeting anyone, I am saying that everyone here is rubbish!
"Looking like a champion, Manchester City is ready to defend the Champions League again!" 》

"Terrifying strength, the Europa League champion is not a single enemy!" 》

"Huang Saren, are you ready to face Manchester City?" 》

After the game, the British media started to praise the team and almost praised Manchester City to the sky.

The important thing about this game is not the score. Although a 4:0 score is considered a big score in the Champions League, it is not uncommon in the group stage.

And although the opponent is the champion of the Europa League, it is not a wealthy team after all. It can only be regarded as a powerful team in La Liga, the kind that cannot even enter the top three of the league.

Therefore, Manchester City's victory over them is actually nothing to brag about. It is purely a crushing of hard power.

What the media really touts is the confident and calm kingly mentality that Guardiola's Manchester City exudes from top to bottom.

Their players are calm and confident on the court and play extremely relaxed, and this state allows them to perform better and better, allowing them to fully utilize their strengths.

Manchester City's paper strength itself is already very terrifying. Coupled with Guardiola's tactics and the state of the players, it is too difficult to defeat them!
There are really not many teams in the entire football world that can beat them. With Huang Saren and Atletico Madrid, there is a certain hope that they can beat them.

But from the British point of view, if these teams cannot perform at a super level, the odds of defeating Manchester City are very low, probably not more than 4%.

As for other teams?

Paris?
old woman?
Or Manchester United and Chelsea?
These are not on the same level as Manchester City at all. Their paper strength is far inferior to Manchester City. Even if they are successful, they may not win, so it’s better to just go to bed!
In the process of touting, the British media was suspected of belittling other league teams.

Therefore, after their reports came out, they immediately attracted counterattacks from the media in other countries.

Bild: "Manchester City is indeed strong, but football is round and anything is possible on the field.

What's more, under the guidance of Heynckes this season, Bayern Munich has become even stronger than last season, as evidenced by its 12 consecutive wins in the league and Champions League. As the only team in the five major leagues that still maintains a winning streak, Bayern definitely has the strength to challenge Manchester City! "

Although he has been out of football for a year and a half, coach Heynckes' skills have not diminished at all.

After returning to the Allianz Arena, he combined his own tactics with those left behind by Guardiola at Bayern, creating a set of tactics that were more efficient and more aggressive, making Bayern both in the league and in the competition. Unstoppable in the Champions League!

In the just-concluded third round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern was a guest at the Emirates Stadium. When Arsenal scored two goals in the beginning, they chased five goals and finally defeated the Gunners 5:2 and gave it to their opponent. Three consecutive losses.

This team not only has stronger firepower, but also has enhanced fighting spirit and toughness.

They are the kind of team that gets stronger when encountering a strong opponent. The stronger the opponent, the more they can inspire their fighting spirit.

What's more, Bayern is no stranger to Lin Quan and Guardiola, and is indeed the team most likely to defeat Manchester City.

In addition to Bayern's dissatisfaction, Real Madrid's mouthpiece Marca also immediately issued an article to refute:

"Real Madrid has also not lost in the league and Champions League this season, and under the guidance of Zidane, the entire team is getting better. Benzema, Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and others have all returned to form. At the top, especially Ronaldo, his performance in the league and Champions League was not inferior to Lin Quan at all, and even beat Lin Quan.

Considering that Manchester City has won two consecutive Champions League championships, the players' desire for honors and championships is certainly not as high as that of Real Madrid's players.

Real Madrid's longing and desire for the tenth Champions League trophy in team history is definitely not something that people in Manchester can understand! "

While Bayern and Real Madrid stood up to express their dissatisfaction, Barcelona in Catalonia seemed unusually quiet.

This summer, Neymar's departure was a huge blow to Barcelona. Coupled with the wave of injuries in the team, Barcelona was full of injured soldiers.

The most serious thing is that Barcelona's core Messi is also injured. At the end of last month, in Barcelona's home game against Las Palmas, Messi left the field with injury in just 3 minutes.

After the game, the hospital's diagnosis was that the left knee ligament was torn. This injury is relatively serious. It is conservatively estimated that Messi will miss 7 to 8 weeks due to the injury.

Messi's injury has caused Barcelona's strength to drop significantly, leaving Suarez alone in the frontcourt struggling to support.

Not only that, because the illegal recruitment of young players in La Masia's youth training camp came to light, Barcelona was severely punished by FIFA - no transfers could be made within a year!

This summer, they failed to introduce Lin Quan. In addition to Lin Quan not wanting to return to Camp Nou, another reason was that he was punished by FIFA.

According to inside information, FIFA believes that Barcelona still has many violations in youth training, so the penalties may continue to be increased. If this is true, then Barcelona will be in bad luck.

Speaking of which, Barcelona's luck is really not good. If the transfer ban had come a few days earlier, Neymar would not have been able to leave. If Neymar had not left, now that Messi is injured, he and Suarez can at least be counted on. Let’s carry the team forward together.

But Neymar left. Although Suarez was very strong, he was unable to survive alone. This made Barcelona's record during this period very poor.

After Messi was injured, they lost in the league to Sevilla, who had just been defeated by Manchester City.

Taking Sevilla as a reference, Manchester City was able to defeat them without any power to fight back, but Barcelona was easily won by them. The current strength gap between the two teams is actually very large.

With the team in such a dire situation, Barcelona has neither the confidence nor the inclination to get involved in this muddy water.

Although the British media boasted about not drafting, only Bayern and Real Madrid dared to stand up and refute, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

……

On October 10, the 25th round of the Premier League is about to begin.

The highlight of this round is the Manchester City derby between Manchester City and Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The storm was about to come, and facing such a strong Manchester City, everyone in the Red Devils was on tenterhooks and did not dare to speak too loudly.

"We can definitely win this game, right?"

The Red Devils fans themselves were not confident and tried to keep each other warm.

"Maybe? After all, our coach is Mourinho. He has led the team to defeat Guardiola many times. He can be regarded as the person who is best at beating Guardiola!"

At present, Manchester United's team lineup and the state of the players are not as good as the prosperous Manchester City next door.

The only thing worthy of praise is probably that the coaches of the two teams are about the same level.

Moreover, Mourinho once led Inter Milan to eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League, preventing Barcelona from achieving three consecutive Champions League hegemonies.

After that, he joined Real Madrid, and Guardiola was once beaten and moved away. Barcelona's dream three dynasty almost ended directly.

With Mourinho's record, Red Devils fans can't help but feel a little more hope.Hope he can create miracles again!

However, Red Devils fans seem to only remember Mourinho's achievements during his time at Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and have completely forgotten his series of disastrous defeats against Manchester City during his time at Chelsea.

Compared with the anxious Manchester United fans, the fans of Manchester City next door are much more relaxed.

The media's praise made them feel a little elated, but the team's solid strength and brilliant record made them feel particularly at ease.

Although a few years ago, Manchester United was an opponent that made Manchester City feel awe and even terror.

In the historical head-to-head data between the two sides, Manchester United has an overwhelming lead.

However, historical data that is too long ago do not have much reference value after all. If you only consider the performance of the two teams in the past five years, then Manchester City is completely justified.

Even after they introduced Lin Quan, they never lost a game against Manchester United.

Lin Quan wore a hat at Old Trafford and imitated Cantona's celebrations, which greatly improved the self-confidence of countless Manchester City fans and made them completely put aside their historical filter-like view of Manchester United. Fear mentality.

Now, Manchester City's strength has further improved. After several years of chaos, Manchester United next door is no longer the Premier League hegemon it once was.

So what else is there to be afraid of?
What they have to do now is to completely knock Manchester United off their throne.

In the past two seasons, Manchester City has completed two consecutive Premier League championships. If they can defend the title this year, they will be able to create their own Manchester City dynasty.

Manchester United's 20-year history of dominating the Premier League will also be completely ended!
In such a critical season, the battle between Blue Moon and the Red Devils can be said to be an important symbol of the transition of kingship.

For such an important game, Manchester City fans were unwilling to miss it. They frantically bought tickets for the Old Trafford game, hoping to go to the home of their mortal enemy to witness their miserable defeat at their own feet!
In recent years, as Manchester City's performance has improved year by year, especially after they won two Champions League championships, their influence around the world has increased significantly.

As a result, Manchester City's fan base around the world began to expand rapidly.

In the past year, more and more overseas fans have chosen to come to the Etihad Stadium to watch football.

A game as significant as the Manchester City Derby is naturally not to be missed for these overseas fans.

As a result, some qualified overseas fans also purchased tickets early through various channels. After many parties competed, the tickets for this game were directly sold to the sky, and the price increased five or even ten times than usual. .

Some Manchester United fans who had lost confidence in the home team could not even resist the temptation of ticket sellers and sold their tickets to scalpers at high prices.

Perhaps they feel that Manchester United can't win at home. Instead of spending money to watch the home team being tortured, it would be better to sell the tickets in exchange for two glasses of beer to soothe their injured hearts, right?

However, such fans are in the minority after all, and most Red Devils fans still insist on going to the home court to support their team.

When the game started, the Old Trafford Stadium, which can accommodate 76000 people, was packed.

The fans who came to the scene wore the jerseys of the two teams in a tacit understanding. The red sky was the main color of the Old Trafford Stadium today.

Compared with the sea of ​​red that filled the whole place, the small piece of blue among the red looked so weak and helpless.

Even before the game started, fans from both sides started fighting.

Fans on both sides started to spray each other across the isolation belt. Some trolls felt that just spraying with their mouths was not enough, so they rolled up their sleeves and planned to use fists to resolve the dispute.

Fortunately, the security personnel and police maintaining order at the scene completely separated the fans on both sides and did not give them a chance to harm each other. Some fans who behaved excessively were even directly taken away by uniforms. They may also face British fans after the game. The penalty imposed by the Football Association may mean that he will not be able to step into the stadium to watch football again for life.

The Manchester derby has always been very popular. In recent years, with the rise of Manchester City, the competition between the two teams has become more popular than ever.

As the focus of this round of competition, this game was specially selected to be broadcast live to the world during prime time.

The intention of the Premier League and the Football Association is to use this exciting and high-level competition to attract more overseas fans to pay attention to the Premier League, not to let them watch the Premier League football hooligans fight with each other.

After the coaches of the two teams entered the stadium, Mourinho took the initiative to walk towards Guardiola and shook hands with him expressionlessly, without any intention of greeting him.

Guardiola had the same expressionless face, stretched out his hand to shake hands in a business-like manner, and then each returned to his coaching bench and sat down.

Although the two are old rivals on the court, they seem to have no friendship with each other.

In fact, the two used to be very good friends when they worked together at Barcelona in the early years.

But it all ended after the two parted ways!

In the eyes of the media and fans, these two are two extremes.

Guardiola is low-key and humble, while Mourinho is arrogant.

Guardiola is a sharp spear and advocates offense.

Mourinho is a solid shield and keen on defense.

The collision between the two is undoubtedly a battle of spears and shields.

In the past five years, the two have played against each other with winning and losing results, and neither one has gained an overwhelming advantage.

So this duel continues until one of the parties is completely defeated.

However, when people saw Manchester City's formation and starting list for this game, they were dumbfounded.

"Did you get the name wrong? Manchester City actually played three defensive midfielders?"

The three-midfielder tactic was Mourinho's specialty when he was at Real Madrid.

When facing Barcelona, ​​which had invincible passing control back then, Mourinho liked to send in three midfielders to intensify the competition for the midfield, thus disrupting the smooth operation of the opponent's passing and controlling system.

This tactic had a certain effect, but the effect was not obvious.

Now, Guardiola takes the lead and uses Mourinho's tricks. This makes the fans surprised. This is not Guardiola's style!
While being surprised, everyone is also looking forward to Mourinho's response strategy.
