    "Compared with the first round match between the two teams, Ferguson replaced nearly half of the starting lineup in one go, which is really incomprehensible. Van Persie may not be able to play due to some minor injuries, but Scholes  Why did you change it? Did Ferguson not consider offense at all in this game? So, is it too conservative to be so defensive at his home court?"

    The commentator next to him laughed when he heard this: "He is such a coach. As long as he can reach the finals, what does it matter if the scene is ugly?"

    "I think blindly defending against Barcelona won't work. I'm afraid that he will not successfully reach the finals, but will also be scolded for being conservative at home, and lose the game with such a negative attitude. How many  Is it personally acceptable?¡±

    "I have a slightly different view. Maybe his team can? At Camp Nou, he allowed Barcelona to attack for ninety minutes without scoring a single goal"

    ¡°That¡¯s because Barcelona didn¡¯t have Messi at the time.¡±

    "Heh, Messi"

    Messi is getting the ball.

    The practice of finding successors for Maradona has never stopped since his retirement. Argentina has produced many successors to Maradona in the past, some of which were appointed by the football king himself, while others were picked by the media or fans themselves.  Up.  Riquelme, D'Alessandro, Aimar, Saviola, Ortega, Tevez, Aguero they all did "Maradona II", but the result  Today's weather hahaha.

    From the current point of view, the most promising person to reach the height of Maradona may be the little man in front of him.  He is no longer the dazzling rookie he once was. Now he is a "phenomenon" for Barcelona, ??a "phenomenon" for Argentina, and a "phenomenon" in world football.

    Rijkaard thought that Ferguson would let Cambiaso, the most defensive player in Manchester United, defend Messi, thereby freeing up other defensive forces to contain Barcelona's overall attack.  As a result, the person who appeared in front of Messi stunned him.

    Don¡¯t say it¡¯s him.  Even Messi on the court was a little surprised.

    Today's Manchester United is not the Manchester United two seasons ago. As a giant that can still win four consecutive Champions League titles in the 21st century with increasing competition, everyone on this team must be considered as an opponent by Barcelona.  After a while, there were two people they focused on - Cristiano Ronaldo and Cambiaso.  One is the offensive core and the other is the defensive core.

    Before the game, Rijkaard told Messi that the person watching him in this game will definitely be Cambiaso, because only Cambiaso can defend Messi in one-on-one, of course it is only possible

    He asked Messi to use his flexible movement to pull Cambiaso apart.  At the same time, he used his quick-footed characteristics to induce Cambiaso to foul, and at least let him get a yellow card. In this way, in the following games, Cambiaso will definitely miss the championship because he is afraid of getting another yellow card.  In the cup final, they become timid, which is a good thing for both Messi and Barcelona.

    Rijkaard felt that his arrangement was very good.  Until now.

    The person standing in front of Messi is not Messi¡¯s national teammate, but Fletcher.

    The person defending Messi is not Cambiaso!

    Messi turned his head and glanced. He found that Cambiaso was in his position in the middle. Apart from paying attention to this side, he had no intention of coming up to defend.

    Thiswhat's going on?

    Hey, do you look down on me, Messi?  Looking for someone like this to defend me?

    However, Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the box and watching the game with Cheryl and other beauties, was not surprised by this.  As someone with memories of his past life, he knows very well that Cambiaso is not only talented on defense, he still has strong abilities on the offensive end.  In another time and space, UEFA Champions League magazine evaluated Cambiaso as: a tireless "midfield schemer".  His running ability is excellent, he covers a huge area on the field and is almost everywhere between the two penalty areas.  Defense is Cambiaso's main job. His interceptions and steals build a solid barrier in front of Inter Milan's defense. In offense, he is often the source of offense.  His passing and scheduling determine the direction of the offense.

    It was precisely because he knew Cambiaso¡¯s versatility that Jiang Feng snatched him away from Inter Milan¡¯s mouth.

    Although Messi and Cambiaso are teammates of the Argentina national team, his understanding of Cambiaso is obviously not as deep as Jiang Feng's, so he is very puzzled by Ferguson's arrangement.

    Messi looked at Cambiaso again, and the two of them stared at each other - relatively speaking.  Cambiasso is tall and tall, so he has big eyes, while Messi is short and lean, so he has small eyes.

    Looking back, Cambiaso still didn¡¯t come up to help.? means.

    Messi decided to break through on his own. He didn¡¯t know what Manchester United meant, but since you don¡¯t use the strongest defensive players to see me, don¡¯t regret it if I break your defense and allow Barcelona to score!

    It happened that Iniesta came up from behind, and Fletcher's attention was disturbed by Iniesta's movement. Messi took advantage of this gap to pass the ball, tricking Fletcher into shifting his focus, and then suddenly reversed the ball.  Direction starts a breakthrough!

    It was too late for Fletcher to stop him. The two were too close and he couldn't react

    Manchester United¡¯s defensive formation is very tight, and the distance between the midfielder and the defender is very, very close.  For most teams, this defensive formation can fully compress the space at the front of the penalty area and deny the opposing forwards a chance to calmly get the ball.  At the same time, due to the contraction of the formation, the distance between the three lines is not far. When a counterattack is needed, the football can be quickly and accurately passed to the feet of teammates, without the dilemma of having no other means except blind big feet.  Just like a spring, the harder it is compressed, the stronger the explosive force when it bounces back.  This is also one of the characteristics of Manchester United's defense.

    But now, it has become the best stage for Messi to challenge himself.

    Since the defensive players are close, once someone breaks through, the defensive players behind often have to step in to steal the ball or get stuck. A moment of hesitation may allow the opponent to get in.  This is just right for Messi, who is very fast at his feet. He can completely rely on his own instinctive reactions to make a way out of the opponent's circle in a flash.

    Having just passed Fletcher, facing Bell who came up to steal the ball, he lightly buckled his right foot, moved his body laterally, and took the football past Bell's feet.  Next, he made an emergency stop to block Fletcher who was chasing after him. Vidic came up to defend, but he incredibly chose to pass the ball through the small space. The football went to the right, and the ball went to the left.  , and he was still walking in the inner circle. Within the smallest radius, he passed by Vidic, who had just been stuck in the position and had no time to adjust his center of gravity. He received the football he just kicked behind Manchester United's entire defense line and kicked off his feet without hesitation.  shoot!

    Fortunately, Van der Sar blocked the angle in time and blocked Messi's small-angle shot from the bottom line. Otherwise, Manchester United would have conceded the goal in the first three minutes of the game at their home court

    There was a gasping sound from the Old Trafford Stadium. They were frightened by the magical performance of this little player.  One person singled out three Manchester United defenders, and the straight-line distance from the starting point to the shooting point is only ten meters. The technology in this small space is so outstanding!

    Even the commentator praised Messi, who returned from injury, as Barcelona's top player now.

    At the same time, the questions in everyone¡¯s minds became even greater ¨C what was Ferguson thinking?  Why not send Cambiasso out to guard him?

    Although the shot was blocked, Messi did not show much annoyance. He did not even look at Van der Sar, but turned to look at Cambiaso.

    It was no different from before he broke through. Cambiaso was also looking at him. After glaring at him, Cambiaso turned away and ran back to prepare for the corner kick.  There was no expression on his face that Messi wanted to see. He was neither surprised nor annoyed, and his face was as calm as if his face was paralyzed

    Barcelona¡¯s corner kick did not pose any threat to Manchester United¡¯s goal.  In front of "masters" such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic, and Gareth Bale, Barcelona, ??which is not good at headers, cannot take advantage at all.

    Barcelona also knew this, so the corner kick they took was low and fast, but Cambiasso rushed to the front and pushed it out.

    This was the first time he appeared in a TV close-up, a successful defense, but it was not Messi. The person behind him was the poor Mexican central defender Marcos.

    Messi was outside the penalty area and did not go in to join in the fun. He knew that Barcelona was not good at headers from set pieces. The ball was likely to be pushed out by Manchester United. The worst case scenario was that it was directly confiscated by Edwin van der Sar.  But if it comes out, he can stay outside and grab the second shot, and then form a second attack to maintain pressure on Manchester United's goal.

    The football did bounce towards him, but was nodded away by a faster person.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is in the spotlight this season.  He stole the ball from Messi, causing Old Trafford to erupt in cheers for the first time.  Messi's wonderful performance before made Manchester United fans very suffocated. Now, they have someone to be proud of!

    Cristiano Ronaldo nodded the football with his head, then accelerated to chase the ball, and instantly got rid of Messi.  By the time Messi reacted and turned around to chase, it was already too late.

    ? Cristiano Ronaldo successfully steals the ball and Manchester United instantlySwitch from defense to offense.  At this time, both Rijkaard and Messi clearly saw Esteban Cambiasso, who had just made a header in the penalty area, shot out like an arrow - and ran forward!  (To be continued)
