Chapter 361 London Tragedy! A goal that went down in history! Yang Cheng's killer move! Flick's epiphany! [Subscribe]

The first half ended 1-1.

During the half-time break, Yang Cheng returned to the locker room and Flick handed him a tablet running data analysis software developed by the Chinese at Bayswater.

You can clearly see the various game data for the first half provided by the team's data analysis team.

For example, Barcelona's passing.

The various passing routes are like a dense net, impenetrable.

This is also Barcelona's consistent style.

Their passing and control of the ball is always very dense.

Yang Cheng focused on passing the ball into his own penalty area.

The success rate has obviously dropped a lot.

And it poses basically no threat.

In fact, if we look at the entire passing network, Barcelona's passes became very sparse after entering the 30-meter area of the Chinese in Bayswater.

More on the wings.

This is also consistent with some of Yang Cheng's views on the first half.

Looking at the player activity heat map, we can see more clearly that Busquets is mainly around the center circle on both sides of the center line, and in the area in front of his own 30-meter area.

Turan and Iniesta both prefer the flanks and sides.

Judging from the overall coverage, they are actually more active on the wing.

Another point is that the heat maps of these three midfielders are basically outside the 30-meter area of the Bayswater Chinese.

This proves one thing very intuitively: Barcelona cannot get past the Chinese midfield in Bayswater!

What about the three midfielders of Bayswater Chinese?

Basically, it is the area from 30 meters in front of your own area to the center line.

Occasionally he would cross the midline and enter Barcelona's half, but not often.

Especially Toni Kroos.

He had to protect Marcelo's side, so he basically didn't cross the center line.

"Did you notice? Although they retreated quickly, they basically only went to their own 30-meter area and did not enter the restricted area."

Flick pointed to the activity area of Barcelona's three midfielders and introduced it to Yang Cheng.

"Even Busquets rarely moves in front of the penalty area. Look at this heat map..."

Yang Cheng saw it.

In fact, he already had a preliminary impression before seeing the data.

The main reason lies in the characteristics of Barcelona.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are very similar, both are typical teams that use offense as defense.

"Let's focus on this in the second half," Flick suggested.

Yang Cheng nodded slightly and smiled at Frick, "That's right, Hans, but let's save this question for the next round."

Frick was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Logically speaking, in the first leg away at Camp Nou, of course we would like to score goals, and more goals, that would be the best.

It's only 1-1 now, are we going to be content with a draw?

"The reason for this is that Iniesta and Turan are both attacking players, especially Turan. He is not a midfielder like Xavi who can retreat to defend. He used to be an attacker playing on the wing."

Turan played on the wing at Atletico Madrid.

When the two teammates in front tend to move forward to participate in the attack and pass the ball, what can Busquets do behind him?

If he retreats, there will be a vacuum in the entire midfield.

This is very fatal.

Moreover, Barcelona's midfield running ability is really weak.

If it were Harvey, this problem could be better solved.

At the very least, the defense in the middle will be better.

But it will further weaken the midfield's running ability.

Didn't Luis Enrique know?

Yang Cheng doesn't think so.

"We can get these data, do you think Barcelona can get them?"

Frick immediately understood what Yang Cheng meant.

"Besides, we don't need to use this trick in the first round. Let's hide it first and then slowly use it when we return to our home court."

At this point, Yang Cheng smiled confidently at Flick and said, "You have to have confidence in the team and our players."

"Barcelona will definitely not be content with a 1-1 draw in the second half. For them, this is no different from losing the game."

"For us, there is no need to fight Barcelona to the death. As long as we continue to play steadily and defend and counterattack, do you think we will have no chance?"

Frick nodded repeatedly.

This is a question of resource optimization and allocation.

In fact, many teams will adopt this style of play.

Play more steadily away from home in the first leg and try to gain advantage. Then return to the home court for the second leg and make full use of this advantage to directly secure the victory.

If you insist on fighting hard with your opponent in both rounds and want to win all the games, it is not scientific!

So far this season, Bayswater Chinese have maintained an undefeated record in the Champions League.

This is really not what Yang Cheng and the coaching staff are deliberately pursuing.

The strength is there!

In the last two rounds of the group stage, Yang Cheng was on the bench, but we still won the game.

And the Premier League, with an unbeaten record so far.

Before, Yang Cheng and the coaching staff had never thought about an undefeated record.

The symbolic significance of this record is far greater than its practical significance.

The key is to score points steadily.

But recently, as the league is coming to an end, the team is still unbeaten. Yang Cheng must have responded to the calls of fans and players and started to pay attention to the domestic league, striving to maintain the unbeaten record until the end of the season.

The same goes for playing against Barcelona now.

There is no need to take risks in the first leg away from home.

Barcelona will not be satisfied with a 1-1 draw, so they will definitely press forward in the second half.

What the Chinese in Bayswater need to do is not to attack, but to stabilize the defense and then fight back against Barcelona.

In fact, in this game, except for the ball possession rate, the Chinese team of Bayswater was not inferior to Barcelona in offensive and defensive data, and even did better than Barcelona in many aspects.

From the fact that Yang Cheng arranged Gareth Bale, Harry Kane and Walcott to start, we can see his positioning for this game.

Now, he's not going to change midway.

…

Yang Cheng’s guess was absolutely correct.

Luis Enrique saw it himself.

In the 58th minute of the second half, he replaced Turan with Xavi.

The reason was that Turan committed a foul during a counter-attack and received a yellow card.

But is it really just because of this?

After Xavi came on, Barcelona's advantage in ball possession became more obvious.

But in reality, there were fewer threatening attacks and the pace was slower.

The Bayswater Chinese midfielder took the initiative to press forward and regained more initiative on the field.

After that, Luis Enrique stopped making substitutions.

Yang Cheng also did not make any substitutions.

This is more like a game between the head coaches of both sides.

But starting from the 75th minute, Barcelona was clearly more aggressive in attacking.

As Yang Cheng said before, a 1-1 result away from home is no different from losing for Barcelona.

Luis Enrique walked to the sidelines and kept signaling his team to press forward and attack.

He wanted to score another goal in the final period of the game.

2-1, beat Bayswater Chinese at home!

Although we conceded an away goal, at least we won at home.

Flick was very excited watching on the sidelines.

Especially when he looked at Yang Cheng, there was admiration in his eyes.

Be it experience or personal intuition, Yang Cheng really understands his opponent's thoughts clearly.

The closer the opponent presses, the more the Bayswater Chinese frontcourt can take advantage of their speed.

What impressed Flick the most was that the players on the field were able to implement Yang Cheng's tactics unswervingly.

The head coach absolutely trusts his players, and the players absolutely trust their head coach.

This is what Frick sees as the Bayswater Chinese!

This is also the team that Flick wants to build!

He even couldn't help asking himself in his heart: If I took over the Bayswater Chinese, would these players still be able to trust me as much as they trust Yang Cheng?

And does he dare to trust them like Yang Chengxin trusts his players?

After the smart Germans understood this, they immediately realized that what they should do most after taking over the team was not to replace blood, cultivate their own people, or change tactics.

The most important thing is that he has to gain the trust and support of these players!

Thinking back to two years ago, why did Yang Cheng give up Tuchel, who was a bigger name with a better reputation and coaching level?

Instead, he chose himself who had never coached alone?

Isn't it because you value your own advantages?

After Frick figured this out, everything became clear to him.

Originally, as he watched the team grow stronger and perform better, his pressure also grew.

Anyone who takes over from the Chinese in Bayswater and Yang Cheng at this time would collapse.

But now, he clearly realized that he should not compete with Yang Cheng at all.

The more he compares, the more he will lose the support of the locker room!

All he had to do was to continue following Yang Cheng's path.

Of course, this is the general direction, and he can add some of his own things appropriately.

Then slowly, imperceptibly, day by day, change this team!

This is also what Yang Cheng hopes he will do!

The more famous the head coach is, the worse he will do this.

Flick, on the other hand, has no psychological burden and can go into battle with ease.

This is his advantage!

After understanding this, the Germans felt relieved.

The stone that was originally weighing on my heart has basically been put down.

…

When Flick breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, Barcelona was about to launch another attack.

Xavi made a straight pass to the right side outside the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Mahrez tried to pass it into the penalty area, but Pepe cut off the passing line in advance, blocked it out of the penalty area, and landed on the left side outside the penalty area.

Toni Kroos returned to the penalty area to defend and rushed to the left sideline immediately, got ahead of Alves, controlled the ball before it went out of bounds, and blocked Alves with his body.

Barcelona started to counterattack on the spot.

After a feint, Toni Kroos dribbled the ball and turned around, creating a gap, and passed the ball to Marcelo who came over to receive it, and then he ran forward quickly.

Marcelo got rid of Mahrez when he stopped the ball and passed it back to Toni Kroos.

The two completed a two-on-one pass in a small area on the wing.

When the German midfielder stopped the ball on the left sideline, he found that Xavi was already in front of him, ready to defend in close range at any time.

But at the same time, Gareth Bale quickly cut in behind Xavi and pointed out the passing route.

Toni Kroos made a straight pass.

The football went straight forward along the left sideline, passed Xavi, and Gareth Bale just caught up at the intersection of the center line and the sideline.

Barcelona's central defender Bartra also rushed forward and pressed towards Gareth Bale.

Judging from his posture, if he really got close to him, he probably wouldn't let Gareth Bale rush over even if it meant committing a foul.

But who is the Welsh winger?

Gareth Bale!

The Welshman thought quickly and kicked the ball forward with his left foot, then he suddenly accelerated, like a cheetah staring at its prey on the African grasslands.

Bartra was no pushover either. He was mentally prepared to commit a foul when he rushed over. He hit Gareth Bale hard with his shoulder and, with a confrontation, forced him out of the sideline as he was about to kick the ball.

This attack should be over, right?

But before Bartra could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that Gareth Bale, who was knocked out of the sideline by him, did not give up, but accelerated again from outside the sideline and chased forward at the fastest speed.

Bartra was horrified and immediately chased back desperately.

His original position was more advantageous than Gareth Bale.

So, both started at the same time, and Gareth Bale was behind.

But Bartra experienced firsthand the terrifying speed of the Welsh winger.

Gareth Bale rushed back into the field at an extremely fast speed and quickly caught up with Bartra.

Barcelona's defenders watched Gareth Bale go from behind to equalizing and then overtaking...

He wanted to reach out and pull him, even at the cost of committing a foul.

But Gareth Bale put some distance between him and was gaining speed.

What's even more outrageous is that when Gareth Bale caught up with the football that had just been kicked outside the left corner of the penalty area, he actually chose to use his body to cut into Bartra's pursuit route and block the Barcelona defender with his body.

It took Gareth Bale a full 4 seconds from kicking the ball to catching it.

For Bartra, it was more like 4 minutes, or even 4 hours.

When he caught up with Gareth Bale, he found that the Welshman had one foot into the penalty area.

He was blocked behind and had no way to stop the other party.

This is the cruelest and most desperate thing in the world.

Bartra watched Gareth Bale dribbling into the left side of Barcelona's penalty area, watched Gareth Bale face Bravo alone, watched his feint...

Finally, he watched Gareth Bale shoot low with his left foot.

The football passed between Bravo's legs and into the unguarded goal behind him.

2 to 1!

Gareth Bale couldn't control his momentum and hit the side net.

But soon, the Welshman turned and ran, celebrating as he ran all the way.

"Oh my God!"

"2 to 1!"

"Another long-distance run from Gareth Bale!"

"A very beautiful pass, Gareth Bale used a wonderful long-distance run to break through the Barcelona goal and turned the game around for Bayswater Chinese."

"This is definitely a goal that will go down in the history of the Champions League knockout stage!"

"So wonderful! So shocking!"

“This is Gareth Bale!”

"In the past two or three years, we have seen Gareth Bale gradually change his past playing style. He has changed from relying on speed to becoming more comprehensive and more lethal."

"But if you think that the Welsh are no longer sharp because of this, you are totally wrong!"

"Now, Gareth Bale uses this goal to tell everyone that he is still the fastest winger in the world!"

…

The game at Camp Nou ended with a score of 1 to 2!

Playing away from home, Bayswater Chinese took away 2 away goals and also had a reversal in the first leg.

This put Barcelona coach Luis Enrique in a very bad mood.

In the post-match press conference, he openly admitted that the team played poorly.

"I should take all the responsibility for this loss because I am the head coach of the team!"

Regarding this game, Enrique said that he did make a mistake in prediction.

"I had expected Bayswater Chinese to adopt their offensive style and play more aggressively, but they were a bit too conservative in this game."

Enrique felt that the way the Chinese from Bayswater won the game was a little unconvincing.

“Their defense was outstanding!”

That's what he said about the Chinese in Bayswater.

The implication is that the Chinese attack in Bayswater was not very effective.

But even the Catalan daily Sports newspaper couldn't stand Luis Enrique's remarks.

After the game, the title of the Barcelona mouthpiece's game commentary was just two words: Avalanche!

What does it mean?

That is to say, Barcelona lost the entire season in one game!

And when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

The head coach has a responsibility, and the players also have a responsibility.

Since this season, Barcelona's front trident has received numerous praises and compliments.

The combination of Neymar, Lewandowski and Mahrez has indeed brought many wonderful performances to the fans in the La Liga arena, and their offensive power is also very strong.

Especially Lewandowski.

But in the match against Bayswater Chinese, this Polish center forward who was known for scoring goals like crazy, made no contribution as he was jointly restrained by Van Dijk and Pepe!

Neymar also did not perform to the level he should have.

This makes many people feel very puzzled.

Why was he praised by countless people for so long, but at the critical moment, he was beaten so badly by his opponents?

Not only did we fail to launch a satisfying attack, we also lost at the Camp Nou.

Marca newspaper was even more insightful and commented directly, "Barcelona lost to the Bayswater Chinese again at Camp Nou."

The point is, once again.

Regarding Barcelona's problems, Mundo Deportivo believes that the team's biggest problem now is still the lineup and the depth of the bench.

On the one hand, the team's salary expenses continue to rise, and on the other hand, the team's lineup is becoming increasingly thin.

So where did all this money go?

Before, they all said that Messi took it.

But didn’t Messi go to Manchester City a long time ago?

Why does Barcelona still have no money?

Why didn't the team's salary expenditure decrease significantly after Messi left?

When we win, it's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone.

But after losing the game, they started looking for all kinds of problems and shirking responsibility.

The day after the battle at Camp Nou, Daily Sports opened fire first, targeting Neymar.

The first Barcelona player to publicly accuse Neymar was Pique.

The problem originated from a time in the game when Neymar did not actively return to defense after losing the ball in the frontcourt.

As a veteran in the team, Pique scolded Neymar loudly, and Neymar responded on the spot.

But this was just a small episode.

If the media didn't report it, no one would care.

Doesn’t this happen often in competitions?

After the game, Pique publicly accused Neymar in an interview with media reporters, saying that Neymar seemed to forget that he was a Barcelona player many times.

This made Neymar unhappy.

Questioning my work ethic?

Neymar directly hit back, saying that his task was to attack and the task assigned by the head coach was also to attack.

"In my impression, Barcelona's tradition has always been about attack and talent."

"Of course, if the team thinks I am more suitable to play as a defender, I can accept it!"

Maybe because the player was about to leave the team, Neymar responded without mercy.

Neymar then added, "Some people make a mess of themselves, but they want to interfere in other people's affairs all day long. We are fed up with it!"

Who is this talking about?

The next person to jump out was left-back Alba, who also blamed Neymar on the grounds that Neymar always failed to pass the ball to him when he was making forward runs.

What this means is that Neymar plays football in a unique way!

Neymar also chose to confront, directly replying: "When you accuse others of not passing the ball, you should take a good look at your own position. Can you pass the ball? If you pass it, can he catch it?"

One versus two!

Neymar is really worthy!

In addition to Neymar, Pique and Alba, Alves on the right also stood up and accused Turan of not passing the ball, which prevented him from effectively utilizing the space left by the opponent.

All in all, by the next day, almost all the media in Catalonia and Spain were filled with news of Barcelona players accusing and attacking each other.

This time, Daily Sports accounted for Barcelona's local players.

In his post-match comments, he believed that Neymar was the worst player on the team.

"Under Piszczek's defense, he disappeared from the field!"

"Neymar at Barcelona reminds people of Robinho, not Ronaldinho."

The implication is that he is really a parallel import!

More importantly, Daily Sports began to set the pace by publishing a news report that Neymar liked the picture of his rumored girlfriend on social networks before the game.

"With the big game imminent and all the players having to concentrate on preparing for the game, our player was admiring the picture of his rumored girlfriend and even clicked the "like" button."

But the Daily Sports certainly won’t say that this like was actually clicked more than an hour ago.

More than an hour ago, that was also before the game.

From a journalistic perspective, there's nothing wrong with that!

In short, when the result of Barcelona losing 2-1 to Bayswater Chinese at home came out, the entire Barcelona team was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

The players attacked each other, the star player was involved in rumors of leaving the team, and was accused of not working hard, and the fans were also furious...

All in all, Barcelona is in complete chaos.

…

After playing against Barcelona, the Chinese team from Bayswater returned to the Premier League and faced the 36th round.

Due to the FA Cup semi-final, the 35th round of the league was postponed.

For the Chinese in Bayswater, this has long become a matter of habit.

Bayswater Chinese challenge Watford away.

Watford's head coach is Spaniard Flores, who is currently leading the team to avoid relegation.

Facing Bayswater Chinese, the home team also showed great tenacity.

Although the probability of relegation is very high, what if?

In this case, every extra point we can grab means a greater hope of relegation.

The stalemate continued into the second half.

In the 62nd minute, Bayswater Chinese team scored against Watford with De Bruyne assisting Sterling.

Just five minutes later, De Bruyne made another wonderful pass, assisting Giroud to score.

In the 74th minute, Kyle Walker assisted Aaron Ramsey to score another goal.

In just 12 minutes, the Chinese team in Bayswater scored three goals.

This result also surprised everyone.

For the rest of the game, both sides played very closely.

In the final stage of the game, Watford wanted to launch a counterattack after Yang Cheng replaced young players continuously, but ultimately failed to score a goal.

Bayswater Chinese won 3-0 away against Watford.

After the game, the person who received the most praise was Kevin De Bruyne.

Although he is behind Toni Kroos and Modric, De Bruyne's performance this season is indeed eye-catching.

Especially his pass.

It can really be said to be superb.

Perhaps because Modric is over 30 years old, De Bruyne is not too anxious.

It has been rumored before that several top teams were interested in him, but De Bruyne was not tempted and repeatedly stated that he would continue to stay with the team.

This also made Yang Cheng feel quite relieved.

…

On the evening of May 3rd, Prudential Arena, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese will host Barcelona at home.

A week ago, the 2-1 reversal in the first leg at Camp Nou attracted the attention of media and fans around the world.

The various controversies after the Barcelona game and the infighting among the players also made everyone worried about the outcome of the game.

Especially for Barcelona.

But the Chinese in Bayswater still dare not be careless.

Almost everyone believes that it is highly likely that the Chinese team from Bayswater will beat Barcelona at home.

But Yang Cheng still requires all the players to give their best.

As a Virgo, he has only one requirement: zero risk!

The Bayswater Chinese players also implemented the coach's intentions.

Over the past few days, the targeted tactics that the Chinese in Bayswater have repeatedly practiced have also come into play.

If we say that in the first leg of the match between the two sides was fought at Camp Nou, Yang Cheng focused his tactics on defense.

Then back at the Prudential Arena, Yang Cheng decisively pressed forward to attack, adopting a more aggressive and proactive pressing tactic, while focusing his tactical focus on Busquets.

Yang Cheng has Luis Enrique very close to him.

He knew that the Barcelona coach would still choose Turan and Iniesta to partner up in this game.

In this case, Busquets became the key factor in Barcelona's midfield operation.

So just 3 minutes and 39 seconds into the show, a very strange scene appeared.

If time stopped at this moment, everyone would be surprised to find that when Busquets received the ball on the left side of the center circle, which is the right side of the Chinese side of Bayswater, all the passing routes around were red jerseys.

There are 6 players in total!

Completely cut off all of Busquets' passing routes.

This made Busquets stunned in disbelief.

Oh shit!

How can this be spread?

Just when Busquets was stunned, Walcott quietly came over from nearby.

Feeling the danger, Busquets immediately turned to the middle, trying to pass the ball to Iniesta.

But what is unexpected is that although Modric looks harmless, he is actually full of bad intentions.

He deliberately let Iniesta retreat and run some distance in order to lure Busquets to pass the ball.

Under the interference of Walcott, Busquets chose a short pass.

But as soon as the ball was passed, Modric suddenly rushed out, slid to the ground and intercepted the ball directly.

The first interception was actually nothing serious.

Iniesta immediately rushed over to chase the ball.

Unexpectedly, Modric reacted faster. As soon as he got up from the ground, he made another sliding tackle and passed the ball to Toni Kroos before Iniesta.

Who is Toni Kroos?

Before the German midfielder even got the ball, the trident in the frontcourt all rushed forward at once.

Toni Kroos reacted quickly enough, rushed over, and made a long pass over the top with his right foot.

Not offside!

The football crossed most of the field and landed in the left rib area of Barcelona's 30-meter area.

Gareth Bale sprints forward at a very fast speed.

But at the same time, Barcelona's goalkeeper Bravo also decisively abandoned the goal and attacked.

Facing this kind of ball, it is not enough to rush out of the small penalty area.

So, Bravo rushed directly out of the penalty area.

But Gareth Bale arrived almost at the same time as him.

And after breaking out of the penalty area, Bravo couldn't use his hands.

When Bravo kicked to clear the ball, Gareth Bale rushed over and moved sideways.

The clearance ball hit Gareth Bale and bounced into the penalty area behind him.

Harry Kane immediately ran diagonally from the top of the arc to the left side of the penalty area.

But someone was faster than him.

After Gareth Bale shook off Bravo, he rushed to the left side of the penalty area and sent the ball into the unguarded goal with his left foot before anyone else.

1 to 0!

The entire Prudential Arena was in a frenzy!

In an instant, 90,000 fans rushed out of their seats, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs!

…

After taking the lead, the Chinese team in Bayswater continued to pursue the victory and put pressure on Barcelona.

It can be clearly seen that Barcelona will still resist in the opening stage.

But after conceding the goal, there was obvious chaos in Barcelona's lineup.

Or it could be said to be a lack of unity of thought.

The total score became 3 to 1, so Barcelona must strengthen its offense.

But at this time, the Chinese players in Bayswater accelerated the tempo, kept attacking, and were very active in pressing in the frontcourt.

This put pressure on everyone at Barcelona.

But the Chinese players of Bayswater, playing at home, were in high spirits and were obviously not going to let Barcelona go.

In the 10th minute, Marcelo received a pass from Toni Kroos on the left side of the frontcourt and rushed forward with the ball, trying to break through, but Mahrez kept chasing him all the way.

Unable to enter Barcelona's 30-meter area, Marcelo chose to send a diagonal pass.

The gap between Turan and Mahrez was a bit big, and Busquets was standing forward just now, so Harry Kane retreated to this area and there was no one around to defend him.

The England center forward retreated to receive the ball, stopped the ball, turned around, used his body to block Busquets who was chasing back, and sent a straight pass behind him.

The ball was passed into the penalty area between Bartra and Alves.

Gareth Bale quickly moved forward, with his back to the left and facing the center. After receiving the ball, he dribbled into the penalty area.

The Welsh winger also accelerated suddenly.

Although Bartra tried his best to chase back, he was still left behind by Gareth Bale in one step.

When breaking into the left side of Barcelona's penalty area, Gareth Bale entered his best scoring area.

Facing Bravo, the Welshman calmly shot the ball into the far corner and sent the ball into Barcelona's goal again.

The football almost brushed the inside of the right post and hit the side net.

2 to 0!

Gareth Bale scored twice!

…

After taking a 2-goal lead, almost everyone concluded that the outcome of the game was decided.

But Barcelona still performed rather chaotically.

The Chinese in Bayswater continued to press forward and attack.

In the 18th minute, Modric made a forward run and was fouled by Busquets who was chasing him when he received the ball outside the penalty area.

The Chinese players of Bayswater got a direct free kick opportunity outside the penalty area, about 20 meters away from the goal, and on the right side of the center.

Gareth Bale naturally stood at the penalty spot.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the Welsh winger.

Gareth Bale stared at Barcelona's wall, and when the referee blew the whistle, he took a quick run and kicked a butterfly ball with his left foot.

The football almost brushed over the heads of Barcelona defender Pique and others who jumped high, made a beautiful arc, and went into the right side of the Barcelona goal.

Before goalkeeper Bravo even had time to make a save, the ball had already gone into the net!

3 to 0!

hat trick!

Amid thunderous cheers from the stadium, Gareth Bale quickly rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the sidelines to accept the cheers of 90,000 fans in the stadium.

At this moment, all the fans rushed out of their seats and cheered at the top of their lungs.

In just 18 minutes, Bayswater Chinese were already leading 3-0.

The total score is 5 to 1!

“What’s going on with Barcelona tonight?”

"The entire midfield is almost non-existent."

"Even the most basic, symbolic interception could not be done."

“This was really beyond all of our expectations.”

"The Chinese at Bayswater repeatedly pressed the midfield, snatched the ball, and took advantage of the gap between Busquets's defense and the defensive line to make their move."

"Players get the ball in this area and pass it out to create a direct offensive threat."

"But Barcelona doesn't seem to have found a good solution to this."

"Luis Enrique was clearly not prepared for this in time."

"Or rather, it's hard for him to adjust!"

…

Flick sat in the second seat in the home team's coaching booth, which was the seat reserved for assistant coaches.

He is ranked ahead of Brian Kidd.

At this moment, he looked at the head coach Yang Cheng on the sidelines, his eyes full of admiration.

As early as the first round, Yang Cheng had already seen the clues, but after he pointed it out, Yang Cheng did not make any immediate adjustments.

Instead, he hid this killer move.

After a full week of preparation, sufficient drills, and various targeted training, it was finally brought out tonight.

Luis Enrique is certainly aware of this problem in his team.

But he probably also thought that since he was not taken advantage of in the first round, maybe Yang Cheng didn't see it.

So he took a chance.

But now, it's too late!

It's only 18 minutes into the game, how can you make substitutions at this time?

Besides, given the current situation, if Xavi comes on, will the effect be better than Turan?

Maybe not!

Under such circumstances, the Chinese in Bayswater launched an offensive with great force and unstoppable momentum.

The score is already 5-1, how can we continue playing this game?

For Barcelona now, every second feels like a year.

After taking a 3-goal lead at the start, the Chinese team at Bayswater had basically qualified for the finals.

Ginger is still spicy when it’s old!

This is the sentence that came to Frick's mind.

But he immediately felt very uncomfortable.

Because Yang Cheng is so young, how could he be so cruel?

He even completely understood Luis Enrique's thoughts.

What a terrifying opponent!

…

After taking a 3-goal lead, Barcelona began to gradually stabilize their position, but the Chinese team in Bayswater still stuck to their previous tactical style.

Losing three goals in a row has greatly dampened the morale of everyone at Barcelona.

In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that this game was already doomed.

But everyone still wanted to score another goal to save face.

It's impossible that we can be defeated by our opponents with a zero goal in an away game, right?

So, before the end of the first half, Barcelona launched another attack.

But in the 39th minute, when Iniesta tried to dribble through, he was intercepted by Casemiro.

After stealing the ball, the Brazilian passed it to Modric.

Modric dribbled the ball forward, quickly launched a counterattack, and after entering Barcelona's 30-meter area, he passed the ball straight behind him.

At this moment, Walcott quickly made an offside move, broke into the right side of Barcelona's penalty area, caught up with Modric's through pass, and shot with his right foot.

The ball passed by Bravo who was attacking near the right corner of the small penalty area and went straight into the bottom of Barcelona's goal.

4 to 0!

This goal completely stunned Barcelona!

They thought they had gained a foothold and were thinking of scoring a goal in the first half.

But unexpectedly, just after launching the offensive, their own defense line was broken again.

Whether it is intercepting the ball in the midfield, passing it directly behind the defense line, or using the players' speed.

Barcelona's players are now starting to feel a little confused.

They don't even know what they should do.

Fortunately, the first half was over quickly.

But with a 0-4 deficit, how should we play in the second half?

Luis Enrique made a substitution during the half-time break.

Xavi replaced Turan.

This is a positional substitution!

But it was precisely this substitution that in the 54th minute of the second half, Xavi's ball was successfully intercepted by Toni Kroos and passed to Gareth Bale.

The Welshman turned his back to the direction of attack in the frontcourt, attracted the defensive players, took the ball back and passed it to Toni Kroos.

The German midfielder continued to dribble the ball diagonally to the front right, making everyone look like he was going to find Walcott for a pass.

But just after entering Barcelona's 30-meter area, Toni Kroos suddenly passed the ball to the left rib area in the frontcourt.

That is behind Alves.

Harry Kane ran into the area to receive the ball, turned his back to the direction of attack, and blocked Bartra.

When stopping the ball, Harry Kane used his body to block Bartra, turned around, dribbled the ball horizontally along the front of the penalty area, broke through the defense, and kicked a curve ball with his right foot.

The football went directly into the right side of Barcelona's goal at an extremely fast speed.

The fans in the stadium were in an uproar again!

Everyone stood up from their seats frantically, cheering for Harry Kane and celebrating for the team.

5 to 0!

Afterwards, the pace of the game slowed down again.

Especially Barcelona.

They have been beaten to the point of completely losing confidence and are now focusing more on defense and ball control.

The Chinese in Bayswater were not in a hurry to attack and waited patiently for opportunities.

Yang Cheng also began to make substitutions.

And in the 70th minute, Modric suddenly rushed forward, tackled the ball from Busquets' feet, pushed the ball forward and rushed into Barcelona's 30-meter area.

Under the interference of Busquets, Modric sent a straight pass with the outside of his foot.

Harry Kane quickly cut into the right side of the penalty area from the top of the arc. After holding Pique with his body, he didn't even stop the ball. Instead, he followed Modric's through pass and shot directly with his right foot.

Pique slid forward to intercept the ball, but he was still a step too slow.

No one expected that Harry Kane's shot would be so decisive.

The football went into the right side of Barcelona's goal at an extremely fast speed.

Bravo had no time to stop it.

6 to 0!

The total score is 8 to 1!

shocking!

Even the Chinese fans in Bayswater could never have imagined that the Champions League semi-final would turn into such a crazy massacre.

What is even more unexpected is that the target of the massacre would be a top club like Barcelona!

Although Barcelona no longer has Messi, it still has Xhaka, Lewandowski, Neymar, Mahrez and other stars.

But such a team was actually beaten by Bayswater Chinese throughout the game at Prudential Arena.

"Barcelona's success and failure are both due to the midfield!"

"In today's match, Barcelona's midfield was completely blown away by the Bayswater Chinese."

"The midfield is useless, and Barcelona's defense is completely exposed!"

"Everyone knows that Barcelona's defense has been bad over the years."

"But tonight, the Chinese in Bayswater cruelly tore off the last fig leaf of Barcelona, allowing everyone to see clearly how embarrassing this Barcelona is!"

"Yang Cheng's team clearly saved their strength in the first round."

"We have always known that Barcelona is not good at playing away games."

"Plus, after losing the first leg, Barcelona had all sorts of problems and in the second leg, they were crippled by their opponents."

"This is a competition between the top teams in world football!"

“It’s cruel!”

After leading 6-0, Yang Cheng no longer cared about the rest of the game.

What he is most concerned about now are the next two finals.

At most, we can pay more attention to the remaining three Premier League games.

And this tragedy in London tonight will definitely become the focus of public opinion around the world in the next 24 hours!
