Chapter 925

Barcelona launched a fierce counterattack after Manchester City again overtook them.

For a while, the Spanish giants also put Manchester City in a bit of a mess. Modric also fouled Iniesta and was given a yellow card warning by the referee. This is also a picture of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Tamim and UEFA president Platini having dinner together in the media of this game. At the same time, it revealed that this happened during the bidding period of the world cup and before the dinner, Platini and UEFA are supportive of the United States, but after dinner, Platini changed his direction to support Qatar, which eventually led to Qatar's successful bid for the world cup in December last year.

After the successful bid, the Qatari Investment Bureau soon announced that it would invest in the famous French nuclear energy group.

During its bid for the world cup, Qatar also invested 10 million euros and invited Zidane and many other famous football players to be bid ambassadors, which further increased the doubts about Qatar's bid for the world cup.

Recently, in France, the Qatari Investment Authority has also caused great repercussions. In addition to the acquisition of Paris Saint Germain, bein media of Al Jazeera, owned by the Qatari Investment Authority, bought out the broadcasting rights of the French league with a high price of 90 million euros per year. At the same time, Bain media also announced that it would compete for the bundling auction of the broadcasting rights of the Spanish League in 2013.

Interestingly, the president of Bain media is Nasser harleffe, who will be the president of Paris Saint Germain.

Tamim obviously doesn't care about all kinds of doubts from the outside world, because he believes that these voices will gradually disappear soon. What he really wants to do is to continue to enhance Qatar's influence in world football, maintain this popularity and pave the way for the world cup in 2002.

So they chose to buy Paris Saint Germain, but this is just the beginning.

There are still 11 years left between now and the world cup in Qatar. They will continue to invest in Paris Saint Germain, striving to make this French League the top team in Europe and become the most eye-catching gold lettered signboard in Qatar.

"Abidal is dying!"

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the court, and it was easy to notice Abidal at the back.

Recently, Barcelona launched a crazy counterattack against Manchester City after falling behind by one goal. First, Iniesta passed the ball. After Ibrahimovic got rid of Harvey Martinez, he shot low in the restricted area and was saved by Cech. Then, Alves crossed the right side and cooperated with Messi, The Argentinian's low shot was blocked by kompani and released with his big foot.

The most dangerous thing was that in the sixty sixth minute, after Iniesta and Harvey cooperated two times and one time, Ibrahimovic got the ball in the front of the restricted area and shot hard. He played fast and fast, and the angle was also very good. However, Cech once again lifted the Swedish center's shot out of the crossbar with one hand, which was another solution to the crisis.

After Pedro left to the bottom line after the return, Iniesta to keep up with a push shot, directly hit Cech's arms.

Barcelona pressed Manchester City to attack for ten minutes, but failed to break the goal. This made Guardiola a little anxious on the sidelines, but more uneasy. Especially when he saw Abidal bending over and holding his hands on his knees, he felt a sense of foreboding.

It's 70 minutes into the game. If Manchester City score again at this time, it will be a desperate match.

"Let Adriano warm up." Guardiola said in a deep voice.

Assistant coach bilanova also noticed Abidal's situation, listened to Guardiola's words, but did not agree. He directly turned around and went to the bench to let Brazilian left back Adriano go to warm up quickly, while he kept up with Adriano and kept talking about the current situation.

For this player, Barcelona have only one attitude, not for meritorious service, but for no fault.

As long as he can hold on, it's a mission accomplished.

"Abidal is almost consumed."

On the side of Manchester City's coaching table, Sergio Garcia came up to the cold with an apple tablet.

The data of Abidal is clearly listed above. After analysis, the conclusion is that the French left back has been unable to bear it.

At the end of the day, the cost of this game is too much.

Gao Han's eyes narrowed slightly, noticed the movement of Barcelona coach's seat, but soon looked back at the stadium.

"Tell them to try to give the ball to Sanchez."

"I understand." Brian Kidd immediately went to the sideline to convey the instructions of the cold.

Soon, city launched a counter attack.

The ball reached Sanchez's side, and the Chilean winger quickly pushed the ball along the right side of the road, trying to enter the area from the right side of the area. However, Abidal's close defense prevented him from getting a chance at all and forced him to return.

Kaka curled the ball at the front of the penalty area, slightly out of the upper right corner.

Although this counterattack did not work, but still let Barcelona up and down are surprised out of a cold sweat.

Whether it's the coaching staff or the players on the field, everyone knows that they are at a critical moment of the game. Either Manchester City will score another goal and Barcelona will be completely finished, or Barcelona will draw a level and turn the situation around.

Up to now, the competition is not only a simple technical and tactical contest, but also a test of willpower and desire to win. Neither side will give in easily.

Two minutes later, Manchester City attacked again. Sanchez took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, but it was tackled by Abidal and fell to the ground. The referee Kase signaled that it was a successful defense and rejected Sanchez's foul appeal.

A minute later, city made a comeback and passed it to Sanchez.

After the Chilean winger took the ball, he faced Abidal one-on-one, suddenly started, got rid of the French left back, and passed the ball from the bottom.

However, the pass was too close to the goalkeeper, and Valdez took the ball off decisively to resolve a crisis in Manchester City.

Manchester City didn't seem to want to retreat, but they were still pressing Barcelona for a half-time win.

All the fans in the stadium are aware that the game is at a critical juncture, and everyone is anxiously looking at the field.

Valdez tossed the ball and Barcelona passed it quickly. However, Manchester City launched a close attack, forcing Barcelona to transfer the ball and soon fell at the foot of Manchester City.

Harvey Martinez took control of the ball and made it back to Barcelona.

After several twists and turns, the ball still fell at the foot of Sanchez on the right. But this time, after Sanchez got the ball, without waiting for Abidal to get close, he quickly crossed to the front of the restricted area. Then he saw Kaka quickly insert it from the back row and waded into the restricted area.

Pique back in time, blocking between Kaka and the goal, do not give Kaka any angle to start to hit the goal, and Puyol next to him also forward in time.

But at this time, they saw that Kaka was brave. After stopping the ball calmly in the restricted area, they suddenly rubbed a half high ball with their right foot against the ball, passing the ball through the gap between pike and Puyol and falling to the left side of the goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't know when to throw away right back Alves and catch up to the goal like a flash of lightning. Facing Kaka's rubbing ball, he judged the falling trend and dived to the top to push Kaka's pass into the goal guarded by baldes.
