Benitez thought about it but couldn't find any tactics that could completely curb Barcelona. In the end, he could only let Manchester City play defensive counterattack at home, first ensuring that he would not concede the ball, and then look at the situation in the game and let Glory make a sharp knife.

To put it bluntly, it is the personal ability to count on glory.

In defense, we will never give Barcelona the space and time they hope for.

Naturally, he was strictly guarded against Messi, with at least two people following him. He built a defense line composed of central defenders and midfielders at the front of the penalty area. Because by studying Messi's game video, Benitez believes that when Messi goes horizontally from the right to the middle, it is often the most threatening time for Barcelona's attack.

As the football passes back and forth between Messi and the middle of the player, the defense line on the defensive side was torn apart.

When everyone's attention was on Messi who was dribbling the ball, he no longer knew that there was a gap in his defense.

Other Barcelona players can completely disrupt the defense if they take advantage of the situation.

Barcelona scored many goals last season and this season, either Messi scored in the end, or Pedro and Iniesta scored.

Pedro and Iniesta often score goals by the defensive side, focusing on Messi, resulting in the defense being completely empty, and Pedro and Iniesta can easily score the goal.

There is a passer master like Harvey in the midfield, and as long as there is a little bit of room, he may be caught.

So, from the first second of the game to the last second, you must concentrate, relax a little, and then conceal the ball and come to you.

※※※

Benitez made his own arrangements, but in fact he was not sure. Unlike in other games, when he made a tactical decision, he could roughly guess what this tactic would be like in the game.

Even Benitez was a little unconfident in the game against Barcelona.

It can be seen that Barcelona is powerful.

But in fact...their opponent Barcelona is not much better than them...

In the end, Guardiola did not find a good way to curb Glory, such as foul tactics. Manchester United's previous lessons in the FA Cup final. If you foul on Glory, unless you can directly get Glory on a stretcher when you first foul, you will be a disguised assistance to Glory.

Of course Guardiola won't let glory break his leg for a victory in a game.

So he is in a dilemma now.

He originally planned to look for videos of Manchester City's losing games and find things he could use from these games.

As a result, he searched and found only one game video, which was the game where Manchester City lost to Everton away 2, which was the only game that Manchester City lost in the past year.

If you want to find it, it will be a game between Benitez coaching Manchester City. At that time, Manchester City did not even have a unified tactical idea, performed poorly, lost repeatedly, and were completely two teams from Manchester City today. If you look for Manchester City of that period as a reference, you will only go astray and die in the end.

How to study it when holding a video of a game?

Moreover, the results of this game have no reference value at all. The results and data of a single game of football are meaningless. There is such a huge chance. Many games must be viewed together to make those data meaningful.

Therefore, the victory in this game can only be an isolated case, and it cannot prove that Everton's method of defeating Manchester City is effective. Barcelona cannot refer to their playing style.

After thinking about it all, Guardiola decided to "mainly me" away game, playing football that Barcelona is good at, firmly controlling the football under his feet, gaining an advantage in the field, gaining the upper hand in the overall performance of the team, and using Barcelona's strong overall strength to overwhelm Manchester City.

Strive to take the initiative.

As long as Barcelona can get one away goal, even if the task is completed, if there are two away goals, then the task is overcomplete.

As for winning, Guardiola was very frank, and he believed that the final battle must be at the Camp Nou.

Although Barcelona is the defending champion, Guardiola has not underestimated Manchester City, who played the Champions League for the first time in 40 years.

With Manchester City's performance in the Champions League this season, it is enough for people to pay attention to them, let alone they have a killer like Glory.

Guardiola clearly knows that if he underestimates Manchester City, he will definitely be the one who is unlucky in the end. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid were their lessons.

So at Manchester City's home court, Guardiola did not force the team to win. Of course, if it could win, it would be better.

But we must also be prepared to be a tough battle away.

As for Glory, as long as he is kept to the point where he can score at most one goal in a game, Barcelona will have completed a successful defense.

Guardiola had to do such psychological construction because Glory was too perverted.

Guardiola heard about how powerful the glory is, and didn’t know how much it was, and he had to be particularly vigilant about the team where this man was.

Regarding this, he has also emphasized to his players many times during training.

What made him happy was that his players were not tired of his repeated emphasis, nor did they resist, and they were highly accepting.

This may be related to some players on the team who have a good relationship with Glory.

Iniesta is simply a brainless fan of Glory, and Xavi admires Glory very much. Messi even once regarded Glory as his target to catch up. Ibrahimovic also regarded Glory as his biggest enemy, and Ronaldinho, who has left the team...

With these people here, Barcelona really dare not underestimate Glory and... the team where Glory is located.

When Glory was still in Werder Bremen, the team's strength was far worse than Manchester City now, but because of a Glory, they could score two goals in the Camp Nou, and when they returned to their home court, they could even beat Barcelona by Bl

These five goals are related to Glory. Rong Guang scored two goals at Camp Nou, and returned to home court, Rong Guang scored two assists with one goal.

Barcelona has no way to use glory.

Now, with good teammates like Berbatov, David Silva and Sneider around Rongguang, they have helped Rongguang a lot and made Rongguang even more difficult to deal with.

In the eyes of the outside world, this game may be a game where Barcelona have the advantage, and Manchester City can only count on glory alone.

But no one knows that the tension in Barcelona is no less than Manchester City...

Four days before the war always seem particularly long and very short.

The long is what the fans waiting for the game say that they spend every day like the countdown of the year, counting how many minutes there are to start the game... Yes, their countdown is accurate to minutes, not hours.

For a short time, it was for both players on the game, but when they found that the game was about to come, they only regretted that twenty-four hours a day were not enough. They felt that there were still many people who had not practiced, so why was the game coming?

The entire Barcelona team set off for Manchester after the weekend's league.

This also reflects Guardiola's emphasis on Manchester City.

Barcelona, ​​who came to Manchester early, will borrow Manchester United's training base for training. They are so close to Manchester City's training base that the media joked that if Benitez or Guardiola shouted in training, both sides could hear it, and for these two teams, there is no secret at all.

Of course, this is a joke, it cannot be true.

Guardiola's team trained at Manchester United's training base, which still attracted a lot of attention.

Every day, there are a large number of fans and reporters gathered here. In the past, there were only Manchester United fans, but now Barcelona fans are also coming here. The two sides get along well.

Manchester United seems to have forgotten who snatched the Champions League title from them last season.

Now the two brothers are ready.

Because they found a common enemy.

Over the past year, with Manchester City's strong rise, Manchester United, the closest to Manchester City, is the first to feel the threat of Manchester City.

The FA Cup was snatched by Manchester City last season, and the league champion is about to be snatched this season.

If Manchester City can be defeated, Manchester United will definitely be very happy. Not to mention lending it to Barcelona training base that defeated them in the Champions League final last season, even if they want to lend Rooney to Barcelona, ​​it will be fine.

The whole Barcelona team calls their buses from the hotel to Manchester United’s training base every day. After finishing training, they take the bus back to the hotel from Manchester United’s training base.

So every day, they can see Manchester City's team logo at least twice - because the bus will pass by a small intersection outside Manchester City's training base. The intersection is marked with Manchester City's team logo, and an arrow pointing deep into the path, telling everyone that it is Manchester City's Carrington training base.

Every time I pass this intersection, someone in the bus will turn his attention to it.

Iniesta, Messi, and Ibrahimovic.

It seemed as if their eyes could be seen along the path, see Manchester City's training ground, and then find glory on the training ground.

This guy is here to prepare for the game with them
