"Southampton's corner kick, Toni Kroos takes it" "Falling into the penalty area, Varane headers the goal" The entire Sun Life Stadium roared.
More than 70,000 fans couldn't help but exclaimed for Varane's header, which was just a little above the crossbar.
If it had been a little lower, the goal would have been scored.
Varane held his head hard, feeling depressed that he had not been able to suppress the ball just now.
This header was too much about angles.
"Southampton played very aggressively after the start, and they didn't seem to pay attention to the powerful Barcelona at all."
"Barcelona's players breathed a sigh of relief, luckily they didn't score" But before the breath was completely released, Southampton's offensive pressed forward again.
As the game unfolded, everyone gradually became aware of Southampton's strategy.
Modric and Toni Kroos form a defensive midfield double, firmly controlling Southampton's midfield.
At first glance, the defensive abilities of both players are not outstanding, but the actual results shown in the game are very satisfying.
It was difficult for Barcelona's ball to pass smoothly through Southampton's midfield.
At the same time, the passing and receiving between the two players is quite tacit, always maintaining an appropriate distance and echoing each other.
This created a steady stream of motivation for Southampton's pressing attack after the opening, and planned wave after wave of offensives.
Vidal, who is in a relatively advanced position, also played very actively after the opening, and was very active on both the offensive and defensive ends.
Just kidding, we’re playing against Barcelona Who doesn’t want to show his face in front of Barcelona and the owners and presidents of the wealthy teams in the stands?
Neymar also looked very excited.
Once he retreated to receive a pass from midfielder Modric, Neymar suddenly made a big move and sent the ball across the entire field and fell to the feet of Gareth Bale on the right.
The pass was excellent, the footwork was quite good, and Gareth Bale stopped well.
As soon as there was a stop, left back Alba came up, and Gareth Bale dribbled the ball laterally and cut inside, taking advantage of the winger's reverse foot advantage and attracting the attention of Alba and Busquets.
Even Pique in the middle focused his defense on Gareth Bale.
But at this moment, Vidal suddenly rushed in from the back row and penetrated into the penalty area.
Bell flicked the ball and passed it to Vidal.
The Chilean kept sending the ball forward.
I saw that Ibrahimovic in the penalty area had blocked Puyol behind him, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and kicked off directly.
Wow
The entire Sun Life Stadium once again exclaimed.
But it is a pity that Ibrahimovic's shot was not corrected, and the result was that it missed the bottom line.
The Swedish center waved his hand dejectedly, but gave a thumbs up to Vidal.
His teammates cooperated well with this kick and gave him a good shot, but he didn't play it well.
But even if he knew he didn't score, Puyol was still very depressed.
Damn it, you guys are grabbing me here and hitting me.
Are you trying to show that you are bullying me because I am short?
Are there any bullies like you?
Although Ibrahimovic did not score a goal, he still grinned and laughed when he saw Puyol's depressed expression.
Making your opponent feel uncomfortable is your greatest pleasure.
Especially when the opponent is Barcelona In the Chairman's Stand at Sun Life Stadium, watching Southampton's lively performance, Ibrahimovic almost firmly suppressed Barcelona's two central defenders, allowing the teammates behind him to launch attacks as they pleased.
This makes Barcelona president Russell feel very depressed.
He was the one who advocated selling the Swedish center at a low price, and he sold it to Southampton.
But who would have thought that two years later, instead of dying, the Swedish center seemed to have become stronger.
Not only is he stronger, but he was so active against Barcelona It is foreseeable that regardless of whether Ibrahimovic scores a goal in this game, major media around the world will definitely use this old news to make news early tomorrow morning.
Is there any news material these days that is more gimmick than violently torturing the old owner?
"Southampton's training system is indeed unique.
I think Ibrahimovic doesn't look like a veteran who is about to be 31 years old.
His physical fitness is quite good."
Florentino couldn't help but say Admiration from the heart.

The Swedish center once asked his agent to recommend himself, planning to join Real Madrid.
Florentino was also tempted and wanted to win Ibrahimovic.
But in the end, due to various reasons, Ibrahimovic failed to become the second Figo.
Now that I think about it, it’s really a pity.
If Ibrahimovic, plus Cristiano Ronaldo, activate Kaká, and add Benzema, how luxurious would Real Madrid's frontcourt attacking lineup be?
Yang Huan smiled and said nothing.
If there is anything unique about Southampton's training system, it is that it is willing to invest and at the same time values the professional opinions of professionals.
These two points are probably the only ones.
But he could also see that Ibrahimovic was holding back a lot of anger and wanted to vent it tonight.
It's been two years.
He must take revenge tonight for the humiliation he suffered in Barcelona two years ago.
But sometimes things in the world are so helpless.
The more Ibrahimovic wants to score, the harder it turns out to be.
Southampton created chances.
In just twenty minutes, Southampton shot a total of six very high-quality shots, four of which came from Ibrahimovic.
But in the end, either the shot was on target and blocked, or the shot was deflected, which was really depressing.
The fans in the stands were very happy.
They saw Barcelona and Southampton fighting like a needle against each other.
Southampton even had a considerable advantage.
How does this look like a newly promoted Premier League team?
Neymar on the left became the most active player in the game.
Every time he took the ball in the frontcourt, he could almost create a threat.
On the contrary, Gareth Bale on the right seemed a little quiet.
When the game reached the 25th minute, Bielsa, who had been squatting on the sidelines and watching silently, finally couldn't sit still.
Stand up, go to the sidelines and direct the players on the court.
"Belsa is taking command on the spot and seems to be adjusting his tactics.
What are he going to do?"
"Oh, Gareth Bale moved to the left and Neymar went to the right."
"Let's see if Gareth Bale's performance improves when he returns to the left wing."
It turns out that Gareth Bale is clearly more comfortable on the left.
Southampton's first attack after switching to the left, Barcelona wanted to pass the high ball to Messi.
Javi Martinez stepped in, overwhelmed Messi, and headed the ball back to the midfield.
Toni Kroos stopped the ball with one kick and pushed it to Modric.
The Croatian midfielder took the ball and turned to face the attacking direction.
Seeing Gareth Bale already raising his hand on the left, he directly kicked the ball through and let the ball pass between Alves and Puyol.
Gareth Bale started quickly, like a sprinting Ferrari.
He used his speed to overtake, passed Alves, stopped the ball and entered the penalty area.
Before Puyol could catch up, he volleyed with his left foot.
Everyone in the audience screamed, and the ball passed through the right post and went out of the baseline.
But this shot made everyone break into a cold sweat.
That speed is too fast, right?
"Gareth Bale" Russell was a little stunned when he saw it.
Just now he was clearly at least one position behind Alves, but suddenly he overtook him from behind.
This speed is too fast Florentino's eyes also lit up.
Gareth Bale's speed is indeed fast enough.

I don’t know how it compares with Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
Who is faster?
As if stimulated by Gareth Bale's violent overtaking this time, Southampton's offensive accelerated again.
Barcelona once pressed into Southampton's half.
Midfielders Xavi and Iniesta passed the ball back and forth from 30 meters away, looking for opportunities, but Southampton suddenly stepped up their efforts.
When Iniesta knocked back, Vidal stole the ball, and Modric and Xavi started fighting.
After the Croatian touched the ball first, he made an emergency stop, got rid of Xavi's press, and passed it to Toni Kroos. .
After the German played for Southampton for a season, his style of play was obviously much more capable than a year ago, but he was as stable as ever.
He did not choose to take risks and spread to two wings, but passed directly to Ibrahimovic.
Himovich.
The Swede blocked Pique with his body, faced the incoming ball, and flicked the ball to the left.
Gareth Bale faced Alves.
After the ball came, he stopped the ball behind Alves with his left foot, and then quickly started to insert it himself.
Alves was well prepared this time and followed Gareth Bale closely, not letting the Welshman get away.
But Gareth Bale did not choose to go it alone this time.
Instead, he used his speed to forcefully create a gap, then made a diagonal pass with his left foot and passed the ball to the arc area in the middle of the penalty area.
Alves was stunned, turned around, and found that Puyol and Pique were following Ibrahimovic, still near the center circle.
Instead of looking for Ibrahimovic, are we looking for With this thought, I saw a thin figure rushing forward quickly from the right.
Although Alba's reaction and speed are also very fast, Neymar still grabs the left side of the top of the arc and pokes the ball into the penalty area.
Alba's reaction was quick enough and his body was very flexible.
As soon as he saw Neymar's movements, he immediately blocked the inside line, trying to get between Neymar and the goal.
But as soon as the Brazilian player caught up with the ball, his body naturally made a fake move to hit the goal with his foot, which tricked Alba into raising his foot to block it.
But Neymar did not hit right away, but made a very quick adjustment, and then volleyed with his left foot again.
The two consecutive actions were completed almost in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone present overwhelmed.
When everyone reacted, they found that the ball had rolled along a straight line towards the right post of the goal.
Then, the ball rolled into the goal line and almost hit the side netting inside the right upright. beep "goa" With the whistle and the long tone of the on-site commentator's goal, Neymar rushed out of the stadium excitedly and rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands, celebrating the goal excitedly.
His teammates quickly caught up with him and picked him up.
This shot by the Brazilian player is so beautiful and wonderful.
Alba was completely fooled by him
"Southampton's counterattack was very capable and exciting."
"We can see that Gareth Bale, who returned to the left, was very active, and this assist was quite good."
"It seems that Southampton's head coach Bielsa should think carefully about whether Bale should be placed on the left instead of the right, which is unfamiliar to him."
The atmosphere in the entire Sun Life Stadium was completely ignited by the goal.
All the fans cheered crazily and shouted loudly Perhaps many of them were not familiar with Neymar, but this goal made them all remember this skinny Brazilian player and his magical footwork:
