Chapter 252: Reversal and victory over Barcelona, ​​leaving Camp Nou with victory!

There was an uproar at the scene, and fans of both sides couldn't help but worry, standing on tiptoe and looking at the field.

Both of them were seriously injured, Pique's injuries were more serious. He fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Kompany had obvious blood on his head. He struggled to stand up, but was a little unstable.

The referee quickly called the team doctor to come on the field to treat the player. The Barcelona team doctor looked at Pique's pupils with a flashlight, called loudly in his ear several times and when there was no response, he asked someone to call an ambulance with a serious expression. Pique was transferred to the ambulance and immediately sent out of the stadium, preparing to send him to a large hospital for treatment.

This unexpected turn of events was beyond the expectations of everyone at the scene. Seeing their teammate seriously injured and being taken away by ambulance, the Barcelona players felt sad and their mentality was inevitably affected.

Pique's injury has caused great concern among Barcelona fans, and the live camera was given to the Spanish national team coach Bosque who came to Camp Nou to watch the game.

Bosque's expression looks very serious. The World Cup is about to begin and Pique is Spain's main central defender.

His injury is also a major blow to Spain.

Barcelona quickly made a substitution, bringing on Marc Bartra to replace Pique who was injured and unable to play.

Pellegrini was also preparing to make a substitution. Kompany was diagnosed with a concussion and the team doctor believed that he was not suitable to continue playing.

But after taking a short rest on the sidelines, Kompany said he could still hold on!

As the captain, he doesn't want to escape from such an important game.

"Vincent, are you sure you want to keep going?"

Pellegrini once again confirmed to the opponent that the match with Barcelona was not a decisive one.

Even if they lose this game, they still have a chance when they return to their home court.

But if Kompany plays with an injury and aggravates his injury, he may not be able to catch up with the next game.

"Yes, coach, I don't want to return to Manchester with regrets!"

Kompany's attitude was very firm. He was worried that his team would lose the next game.

"Captain, just rest assured. We are here to make sure your efforts will not go to waste!"

At this moment, Lin Quan and others appeared on the sidelines and dissuaded Kompany.

"Captain, don't you believe us?"

Seeing that Kompany was still hesitating, De Bruyne asked Kompany a soul-searching question, which made Kompany shut up completely.

If Kompany insists further, it would mean he does not trust his teammates.

So after hearing what De Bruyne said, he finally gave up.

Lin Quan gave De Bruyne a thumbs up. It turned out that Belgians knew how to persuade Belgians!

Manchester City brought on Lescott to replace the injured Kompany.

As the game continued, Pique's injury made players on both sides fearful and the physical confrontation was not as intense as before.

Both sides reduced the intensity of physical confrontation and the number of fouls, which is good news for technical players, such as Messi and Neymar of Barcelona.

Seeing Kolarov received a yellow card, Barcelona deliberately strengthened the attack on Manchester City's left.

With the support of his teammates, Neymar gradually became more active on the field.

In the 71st minute, Neymar used a gorgeous dribble to trick Manchester City's left-back Kolarov and broke into the penalty area.

Unfortunately, before he could shoot, Lescott kicked the ball out of the bottom line.

Barcelona took a tactical corner kick and hit the ball to the right again, passing it to Neymar's feet.

Realizing the threat posed by Neymar, Kross ran over to assist in defense.

However, Neymar seemed to be performing a show. Under the pressure of Kroos and Kolarov, he stepped on the ball with his foot with his back to the goal, avoided Kroos's pressure, pulled back half a step, then transferred the ball from his right foot to his left foot, and flicked the ball with his left foot as if to go to the middle.

This fake move fooled Kolarov, who did not suspect anything and started moving towards the middle.

However, Neymar passed the ball to his right foot with his left foot and turned around.

This series of movements was completed in a flash, as smoothly as if they were performing acrobatics.

Manchester City's two defensive players have all lost their positions, and Neymar has a clear path ahead.

However, just as Neymar was about to speed into the penalty area, a blue figure rushed over from the side and kicked him to the ground.

Neymar immediately dived into the penalty area and rolled on the ground holding his feet.

After the tackle, Lin Quan did not leave, but stood aside and watched Neymar rolling on the ground.

He retracted his foot when he made the tackle and definitely didn't hurt Neymar. This guy was obviously acting.

However, Kupers was fooled by Neymar's performance. His whistle sounded immediately. He ran over to show Lin Quan a yellow card and awarded Barcelona a free kick.

Lin Quan had no objection to the penalty, he was just trying to commit a foul.

Although Neymar was acting, Lin Quan's foot did kick him.

If Neymar had been allowed to break into the penalty area just now, it would have been a very dangerous one-on-one opportunity.

Barcelona players rushed up one after another, but they did not surround Lin Quan. Instead, they protested to the referee, believing that this should be a penalty kick.

Kupers ignored the protests of the Barcelona players and insisted on his own judgment. Although Neymar fell in the penalty area, he saw clearly that Lin Quan's foul occurred outside the penalty area, so this was not a penalty.

Barcelona's protest was futile and they gave up surrounding the referee. After all, the referee's standard of enforcement was obvious to everyone. If they angered him and got a yellow card, it would be a waste of time.

Messi stood in front of the free kick, he glanced at the goalkeeper's position, took a run-up and kicked the ball directly.

Unfortunately, the kick failed to get over the human wall and the ball bounced out.

The Barcelona players behind rushed to the landing point as soon as possible, but there was someone who was faster than them! Because of his height, Lin Quan did not form a human wall, but wandered around the penalty area to see if he could find an opportunity to counterattack.

Now, the chance came! Lin Quan caught the ball before Harvey.

He pushed the ball to the left, separating himself from the ball and avoiding Xavi's interception.

Aguero, David Silva and others saw Lin Quan grab the ball and started sprinting towards Barcelona's half.

Manchester City's counterattack is coming again!

“Stop him!”

The moment Lin Quan grabbed the ball, Martino jumped up from his seat in fright.

Manchester City's counterattack today was very threatening, and they have scored two goals using such quick counterattacks.

If they were allowed to score again this time, Barcelona would be in great danger! Busques quickly retreated while thinking about how to best defend.

"Come with me and stop Lin!"

He made his choice quickly and called Mascherano to rush towards Lin Quan with him.

He had tried one-on-one defense, but couldn't stop Lin Quan at all, so this time he simply called a helper to double-team Lin Quan.

Even if we can't stop it, as long as we can slow down Manchester City's counterattack and buy time for teammates to get into position and defend, it will be considered a success!

Mascherano and Busquets's interceptions left Barcelona's right wing completely empty.

This is not their mistake, but the threat posed by the wingers to the goal is far less than that posed by the central players.

If Lin Quan were to break through the middle with the ball, he could shoot directly.

But if he is forced to transfer the ball to the wing, Manchester City players can only cross the ball from the bottom or cut inside to threaten Barcelona's goal.

This will extend their attacking time and give Barcelona more time to organize their defense.

Moreover, as long as Lin Quan is kept under close watch and not given the chance to make the final shot, the threat posed by other Manchester City players will be much smaller.

Seeing Mascherano and Busquets both rushing towards him, Lin Quan immediately guessed their intentions.

Want to force me to pass the ball, and then keep a close eye on me and not give me the chance to receive the ball or shoot? Barcelona's defense also includes left-back Alba and center-back Bartra, who just came on the field not long ago.

If Lin Quan wanted to pass the ball, he could only pass it to left winger David Silva, because Alves had assisted the ball before and had no time to come back, so this side was empty.

If he really passed the ball to Silva, it would probably be exactly what the other party wanted! With Alves' speed, even if he didn't catch up with Silva at this moment, he was probably not far behind.

Even if Alves didn't catch up with him, with Busquets, Mascherano and Bartra in the middle, he couldn't cut inside and shoot, and the only option left was to dribble the ball to the bottom.

If David Silva dribbled the ball to the bottom and made a cross, Barcelona would have at least three defensive players in the penalty area, while Manchester City would only have two, and would obviously be at a disadvantage.

Busquets, is this your choice? What will happen if I don't follow the path you expected?

Lin Quan did not try to dribble past them. The success rate in a one-on-one situation is very high, but in a one-on-two situation, the success rate would be much lower.

This counterattack opportunity is very precious and may not appear many times in the entire game. If you fail to dribble past the opponent, then such an opportunity will be wasted.

Lin Quan chose to pass the ball! Seeing Lin Quan's choice, Busquets was relieved!

Sure enough, he passed the ball. So this ball should be... What? Lin actually passed it back?

Busquets thought that Lin Quan would pass the ball to David Silva as he had guessed, but to his surprise, Lin Quan did not choose to pass the ball forward, but passed the ball back.

Does this mean that we have given up on this attack?

No, absolutely not! Busquets looked in the direction of Lin Quan's pass and saw that the person who received the ball was a young player with golden hair and a green and shy face.

The number on the other player's jersey was 17. When Professor Bu saw this number, his information immediately flashed through his mind:

De Bruyne, a Belgian, was born in 1991. He is good at passing and assisting. He was once the Bundesliga assist king and broke the Bundesliga assist record. He is an attacking midfielder introduced by Manchester City during the winter break for 20 million euros.

Could it be that Lin Quan passed the ball to De Bruyne, intending to rely on De Bruyne's pass to break through Barcelona's defense?

How is this possible?

Busquets did not intercept De Bruyne. He handed the job to his teammate. He continued to stare at Lin Quan and consciously blocked Lin Quan's receiving route.

Lin Quan ignored Busquets. After passing the ball, he quickly rushed towards Barcelona's penalty area along the middle. He believed that De Bruyne would find a way to send the ball to his feet!

The reason is simple, because his name is De Bruyne!

Although Tintin at this time was not yet the world's best midfielder who would dominate the world in later generations, Lin Quan knew that what he lacked was only experience, not ability.

Because he sat on the bench for half of the first half of the season at Chelsea, the outside world generally underestimated his ability and no one knew how terrifying Ding Ding's passing was.

So when everyone saw this scene on the field, they were very confused.

Lin Quan was surrounded by Mascherano and Busquets, with Bartra intercepting him in front of him.

He was trapped in a double team by Barcelona players. Could he still pass the ball? "Oh, Lin Quan's choice of this ball is questionable. Passing it to David Silva on the left seems to be a better choice!"

"That's right. If Lin Quan passes the ball to Silva, David Silva can take the ball to the bottom line, and Lin Quan and Aguero in the middle can form a double ghost knocking on the door.

At that time, David Silva passed the ball to the middle, and both of them had the opportunity to shoot, but he passed the ball back to De Bruyne. If De Bruyne passed the ball to Silva at this time, it would waste too much time, and Barcelona's defense must have been in place! ”

"Yes, if Manchester City wants to complete their attack at this time, they can only hope that De Bruyne will pass the ball to Lin Quan or Aguero. However, with the interception of three Barcelona defenders, this kind of pass can probably only be completed by God!"

In the commentary booth, after seeing Lin Quan's choice, He Wei and Xu Yang both felt a little regretful.

The ball was not handled well, it's a pity that this counterattack opportunity was lost.

When Barcelona fans saw Lin Quan pass the ball back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

When Manchester City's players launched a massive attack just now, they were really shocked! Fortunately, the opponent's offensive threat was resolved, and it was Barcelona's turn to attack next.

On the sidelines, Martino patted his chest gently.

Fortunately, the team has a stabilizing force like Busquets. If he hadn't made the right choice, this time it would have been really dangerous.

Although Lin Quan and Aguero have already run to the front of Barcelona's penalty area, the closer they are to the penalty area, the smaller their threat becomes because their space for movement is smaller!

Give up, your attack will not be able to penetrate our defense line!

Barcelona players and fans were very relieved and couldn't help but start mocking.

However, Lin Quan did not seem to give up yet. Not only did he not slow down, but he continued to speed up and rush forward.

The time is now!

Although Lin Quan did not look back, he was sure that De Bruyne would pass the ball at this moment! Sure enough, just when everyone was pessimistic about Manchester City's counterattack, De Bruyne passed the ball.

"Haha, Busquets has already occupied a favorable position. How could the ball be passed to Lin Quan?"

"Manchester City is giving the ball to us Barcelona!"

"Once we get the ball, we can launch a counterattack immediately!"

"Hehe, Manchester City's players have all rushed out, and their back line is much more empty. If we launch a quick counterattack at this time, it will be a sure hit!"

With Messi and Neymar, Barcelona is not only good at positional warfare, they can also launch extremely fast counterattacks.

Barcelona fans have already begun to fantasize about the scene where Messi gets the ball, breaks through all the barriers, breaks into the penalty area, and sends the ball into Manchester City's goal!

However, they soon stopped laughing!

Because the ball passed by De Bruyne actually turned along the grass, bypassed Busquets' interception, and came right in front of Lin Quan!

Is this really possible?

Barcelona fans were all scared pale and stared at the stadium in amazement.

Manchester City fans hugged each other excitedly!

Here it comes, De Bruyne's signature 45-degree cross!

Lin Quan easily received the ball, dribbled past Bartra and then passed the goalkeeper, sending the ball into Barcelona's goal.

3:2! Manchester City reversed Barcelona away from home! After scoring the goal, Lin Quan pointed at De Bruyne and rushed towards the opponent.

De Bruyne smiled and opened his arms, waiting to hug Lin Quan to celebrate.

But he never expected that Lin Quan jumped high and landed on him.

De Bruyne was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground in an instant, and both of them fell on the grass!

"Good post, Ding Ding!"

"Hey, I think so too!"

The two of them only had time to say a few words before they were surrounded by their teammates.

The Manchester City players were all so excited that they rushed up with strange screams, pressing on the two men and celebrating wildly!

If the opening goal was just a boost to their morale, then now, when the game reached the 75th minute, Lin Quan's goal made them see the dawn of victory.

Including injury time, there were at most 20 minutes left in the game. As long as they held on for the last 20 minutes, they would be able to leave Camp Nou with their heads held high and victory in hand! On the bench, Manchester City's coaching staff and substitutes were all excited the moment Lin Quan scored.

Pellegrini excitedly clenched his fists and waved them, then hugged his colleagues one by one to celebrate.

Because he was too excited, he even mistook the fourth official for a Manchester City staff member and almost hugged him.

On the other hand, on the Barcelona side, the moment Lin Quan scored the goal, everyone on the bench, including Martino, fell into silence.

Falling behind again!

Barcelona once again fell behind Manchester City, whom they looked down upon before the game, in their own home stadium! What a rich club, what a background, at this moment, it's all nothing!

The other side has neither background nor is they a wealthy family, so shouldn’t we still be able to defeat them?

This result was unacceptable to them! "Pedro, go warm up!"

Martino is preparing to make a substitution. In the last 20 minutes, Barcelona must seize the time to attack.

No matter what, he had to defend his home court! After the restart, Barcelona once again launched a fierce attack on Manchester City.

However, Manchester City, which had already shown its momentum, was not afraid of the opponent at all at this time.

They used active running and tenacious defense to resolve the opponent's attacks time and time again.

Even after stealing the ball, he launched several counterattacks.

In the 82nd minute, Manchester City intercepted the ball again. Seeing that Manchester City's thunderous counterattack was about to come again, Barcelona, ​​having learned from experience, chose to foul at the first time.

Lin Quan was brought down in the middle by Fabregas just after receiving the ball, and Kulpers immediately showed Fabregas a yellow card.

This is the 8th yellow card in this game. Kulpers is indeed a card master and he really likes to deal cards.

Lin Quan didn't care. After being pulled up by his teammates, he patted his butt and ran to the front court.

De Bruyne took a free kick and passed the ball to Kroos, who made a large move to the wing and Manchester City players organized an attack in Barcelona's half.

The Barcelona players seemed to be running out of energy. They wanted to press like they did before, but they clearly felt their steps were very heavy and they couldn't run anymore!

Seeing this result, Pellegrini was completely relieved.

Barcelona's physical condition is indeed a hidden danger. They have no leading advantage in the league and dare not give up any league game.

Before Manchester City's visit, they had just finished a Barcelona derby and had no time to rest before they met Manchester City.

Manchester City arrived in Barcelona several days in advance. They had been resting for a long time and their physical fitness was at its peak.

Although they were embarrassed by Barcelona's passing and control before, and consumed a lot of physical energy.

However, passing and controlling football also requires constant high-pressure pressing, which also consumes a lot of physical energy.

At this time, the physical condition of the two teams is similar, and Manchester City is even better.

In this situation, Barcelona can no longer press high as before.

Without pressing, their passing and control naturally cannot be carried out.

On the field, Manchester City players also felt this.

Barcelona wants to end the suspense of the game in one round, and so does Manchester City.

So they seized the opponent's weakness of declining physical strength and began to launch a fierce attack on Barcelona!

Manchester City’s strength is not defense, but offense!

Once they let go and attack with all their might, even Barcelona will tremble under their offensive firepower.

Towards the end of the game, Manchester City's attack became more and more smooth.

The players' passing, cutting and running were not inferior to that of the Barcelona team in the first half, which made the fans at Camp Nou feel as if the team wearing blue jerseys was Barcelona!

Under the threat of Manchester City's powerful offensive firepower, Barcelona was forced to defend.

Pedro, who had just come on, did not have any effect and had to retreat back to the penalty area to act as a defensive player.

In the final stage of the game, Manchester City besieged Barcelona's goal.

Unfortunately, their luck was a little bad. In injury time, Lin Quan's shot was blocked by the crossbar, and he missed the opportunity to perform a hat trick at Camp Nou.

Finally, at the end of the game, Manchester City defeated the powerful Barcelona 3:2 away from home with goals from Lin Quan and David Silva, and left the Nou Camp with their heads held high.

In the two-round match, Manchester City, with 1 goal difference and 3 away goals, has obviously taken the lead!
