way of going about it it adds discipline and lends stubbornness to that Midfield which can stifle opposition attempts to to play through and it takes a lot of pressure off your defense of course forces longer passes through the aerial route so all things considered that extra layer across Midfield it's highly highly effective action has already started fan Tores gets into the right position to intercept and the shots and for a moment time Stood Still [Music] real chance oh and they really should have been made to pay [Applause] Martinez ortis fan Torres drives it forward [Music] that was good pressing forc the eror to put an end to it before things could get even more threatening ortis Tri to get it Forward quickly batt going it back Baron Torres really was well Marshal there because

Harm's Way pedri it out wide [Applause] [Applause] it's leowski that's surely a foul free kick [Applause] [Applause] going for goal this could fall anywhere can he deliver oh really good feet from him Rafia gets good distance on it needed to be better than that and he knows it good day ortis edri Barcelona a free kick well you might think he got off lightly it is just a verbal warning [Applause] [Music] ball oh that's not the ball he wanted levandowski it's leandi he scor what a start and what a contribution from the main M I had a feeling he might do something given his reputation but to do it like that absolutely brilliant I wasn't expecting that looking back at that that's how you play on the counter quick and decisive and ruthless finish I thought it was a stunning stunning break Robert Le [Applause] well that has certainly made things interesting oh sweet feet [Music] the chance to play it in whipped in that intervention was very necessary fund Rafia Bala there's a lot of movement going on there's no shortage of options so I guess they're looking to play around their opponents as opposed to through them yeah the style is designed to dominate the ball and so you dominate your [Music] opponents R by Caro suffering an early setback looking to knel it back in well the task oh that is asking for trouble fernan Torres oh raia now it's Rafia that's just very well played he can't hurt you with his back to goal and he didn't go for the back [Music] he and it's played forward cuts it out [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Martinez Martinez oh denied brilliantly Martinez simply didn't do anything wrong he was tarted by [Applause] Brilliance back that's a foul three kicks been given [Applause] rakano already required to chase the game Petri it's a promising ball oh well defended that had to be done and that has been clued away K day and here's the chance to counter forward it goes palder play back in and the counter is on R by aano keep the ball but can't do anything meaningful with [Applause] it place to get it Forward quickly danger averted for now quick gr [Applause] shoots kundai kundai drives it forward that is as far as they got to go and that has put pay to that and here's levandowski tan Torres catching it's to head toward there's the shots that's alert and sharp and very well played it's a very good battle there terrific to watch fan Torres really well to intervene and dispel the growing danger Lafia looking to break out here great strength too strong for his opponent [Music] Rafia Rafa Martinez Ortiz it over to the other flank Baler they could break [Applause] here just brushed off the ball there yeah he was under pressure to get that exactly right he couldn't even think of the consequences it was instinctive and Rock Solid he's had that put on a plate lovi get a look to the possibilities but in the end it's fruitless out to the left it goes defending all be it from an unexpected Source well they say that your front Lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition and I think he's taken it to another level with his desire to get back and help everyone out ortis with the foul [Music] ortis with the challenge and he has given away a free kick [Music] clops one over T Stan deals with it effortlessly [Applause] [Applause] now it's Rafia and very well to intervene [Applause] a little short of forward momentum lacking trust hoists it [Applause] Forward keeper sends it Forward well played he saw that coming [Music] oh what intercepted really alerts the danger dashing forward at PACE Petri trly it was hard to see any better outcome there [Music] close for the cross defending of the desperate [Applause] variety Keepers beat it [Applause] away he's got the ball he's got the space Tes a [Applause] shot shoots t Lafia really didn't have enough to concern the defense bit of penetration to go with all this possession over to the left yeah that does look a foul if he's given a free kick [Applause] [Applause] T Sten gets it away yeah that's top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities raising run he's making on the right that is terrific skill now it's Rafia [Applause] Rafia some good play on the left hand side now to profit from it play into a promising move [Music] laia and torz it's off Target and like quite away w [Music] plays it out to the wing Rafa gets it back Rafia very firm in standing his ground there it is a tough full contact contest Ino Martinez [Applause] and it's played forward hoists it Forward he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there yeah I mean he I think he did well to to spot the Run he just didn't get enough behind it it happens ortis tries to get it Forward [Applause] quickly questions were asked he's given the answers r F and here's levandowski it [Applause] [Applause] is keeper got good distance on that he's found his man now it's [Applause] levandowski the defense can get it [Applause] [Applause] clear Petri he could be in [Applause] here now the [Applause] breakway room for a shot well this of the outcome it is good to see someone running at the defense like that oh good interception for a moment you felt that was going somewhere but they'll have to go again Martinez forward and goes [Applause] more than happy to take the muscular [Applause] approach a delicate ball great run this he's covered quite a distance def got better of him this time but I'm sure he'll go [Applause] again Lafia ortis they're not going to make any further progress now gets into a dangerous position kund ortis Rafia and the Finish big relief it just needed better contact [Applause] good work on the right FL now what's next ortis plays It Forward Duran torresan Torres that's been intercepted and that will come to nothing Martinez that's a throw throw in that's been won straight back Barcelona can't seem to retain possession and here's Le toski he's pulled him up for that challenge well it was deliberate it was cynical and you have to understand the frustration I've been denied a clear opportunity but it had to be done well that looks like a final warning still no card he's trying to [Applause] shot P manag to get it away [Applause] play for a [Applause] throw tedry now it's fah Torres Ria R he's G away with one there [Applause] he certainly caught him there it's a free kick C go [Applause] that could spell trouble Bal nice to stroke it through [Applause] going for goal oh that is rather Wayward BYO I found chances hard to come by so that's perfectly understandable Martinez drives It Forward well position to make that interception Rafia go for a throw in forward it goes has a hit oh just lacked a decent Finish Well he did get himself self into a good position something for him to cling [Applause] to and it's played forward pedri Duran Torres Martinez ortis kund ortis ho sit forward Rafa fan Torres it's anyone's ball it's come through fan Torres well that's where he wants it breaks on here ortis the ball need it to be better there it's a wasted chance CH it is quite a run he's making here behind for a corner kick T by the keyock [Applause] out to the left it goes play into the middle and the second time [Applause] by aano about it patiently perhaps too patiently ni to get it Forward quickly day [Applause] hoists it forward it away rakano still behind as we reach out for halim Martinez fan Torres rho is there any support he might not need it tedry [Applause] away from immediate danger now it's trfia ran himself into trouble there free kick given away lovely bit of skill there he's had a look chance to shoot pumps him into the area it's deflected over the goal line for a [Applause] corner towering header oh nearly nearly nothing good effort very good effort he would have at least wanted to make the keeper work out [Applause] [Applause] and it's played forward Martinez goes looking Duran [Applause] Torres Martinez Pala [Applause] Martinez good Bo has a hit it a two goal person and it's looking safe oh what a cracking goal but a cracking touch as well that's what made it for me that's brilliant Play All Around second of the game and an eye now for the Hat number n B starting to look very comfortable that second goal has such a a polarizing effect on prospective moods I mean one team are under more pressure now to get the next goal and the other will fancy their chances of turning two into three oppos it in gently he's got options out wide [Music] coach through there kund gets into the right position to intercept oh checking back like that always appreciated by the crowd you have to admire commitment like that because he could easily ignore that and just kind of walk around and let others do all the chasing but instead he looks as if he relishes the chance to to dig in for his team here [Music] [Music] fan Torres that's one way of trying to make things happen there's a few who could follow that example Lees it long nice little [Applause] chip justes get the pass he's looking for and the shot a real chance and a real let off well well they're being made to force the issue but they need to be patient and and a little more composed Martinez to get it Forward quickly Martinez Rafia fan Torres it's broken loose good run ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of Defending CR appreciates good football all around [Applause] there Rafia now it's levandowski Al forward it goes cleared without complication the assistant referee has his flag raised for offside Tre cleared away defending of the desperate variety well positioned to make that interception and back to base Martinez Martinez drives It Forward has got rid of that pedri over to the [Music] left last ditch defending but that'll do cross from Rafia and the keeper in command fan Torres oh it's 11i offside that time loses his balance and loses the ball [Music] kundai played out to the right well the crowd clearly like what they just saw some real non nonsense [Applause] defending it will be three minutes at of time's it go [Applause] [Music] K attempts a clearance now it's levandowski [Applause] B well waited that's not going to make it all the way back and they start again Rafa pedri what shows there will be three extra [Applause] minutes and it's been taken straight back gorgeous control there Petri [Applause] tries to get it Forward quickly Hundai [Music] three here we go again well this half might require them to produce a pan a b and seat leveling the score is easier said than done but that will be the target get back on terms and then use that momentum to go again nicely controlled and is on the back foot and again they run against stubborn defending [Music] Martinez good idea just poorly executed defending all bit from an unexpected Source I think it's great to see that kind of application and desire from a forward who wants to help out his defense I I think you know any good team really your Striker should be the first line of that defense and he's delivering defly done tried to play it through a that just required a bit more oomph to reach its Target kund Rafia he'll have a go that has certainly tested the keeper levandowski really must have felt he had the measure of the keeper then but how wrong he was played Short it'll be a throw in fan Torres THS and goes back and here's levandowski and he's there to hoof it away he lifting it over just wacks it away R by a Caro in it back again he's had to go good St that wasn't easy well you can't ask for much more than that a difficult moment he simply had to deal [Applause] [Music] [Applause] with and he's there to clear it [Applause] oh that's neat [Applause] [Music] whistle gone that's foul there could be trouble here now the referee is keeping his cards in his pocket get that [Applause] clear that's a [Applause] throw oh good interception oh a checking back like that always appreciated by the crowd well they say that you're front Lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition and I think he's taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out big chance goalkeeper done supremely well to deal with that [Applause] [Applause] away from immediate danger B swung in defending of the desperate variety Mak a throw he's got the ball glue to his feet it's one save again same outcome byano really are in the ascendancy here and they know they have to register while that's the case they've got it back as soon as they gave it away forward it goes it's levandowski [Applause] [Applause] he is not one readily to admit defeat don't be surprised if he tries that again now it's 11 kski R by a Caro have it back and they can go again spell of possession this but very little to show for it hoists it forward the ball needed to be better there it's a wasted chance [Music] dind ortis and it's played forward Rafia he's made sure that that won't get through need to get it Forward quickly kund ortis Ortiz gets it out to the wing [Applause] Rafia has just set play on Martinez tedry Bala fan Torres Martinez balda oh the balls come loose can't get the better of his opposite number ortis tund and here's leowski [Applause] great strength too strong for his opponent orti has got himself a free kick [Applause] Martinez fer off SC that's a foul [Applause] gets a ticking off and needs to be very careful now yeah and he's just entered the Last Chance Saloon one wrong move now and he's in trouble cleance very necessary D Torres Rafia and here's levandowski he's got it and he's got time I think they've got to make a statement now to say to their opposition we're not giving up without a scrap to give themselves the belief that this is recoverable kund tetri set up one goal so far Martinez [Applause] Baler did well to step in there that was more than necessary and it's leowski it's found its way to him that's sprayed out wide lovely bit of skill a throw [Applause] R finds himself eased off the ball SCH who's going to get that Martinez leowski good energy in defense as well you have to admire commitment like that because he could easily ignore that just kind of walk around and let others do all the chasing but instead he looks as if he relishes the chance to uh to dig in for his team here and he heaves It Forward he s High tries to get it clear thr in [Applause] and here's levandowski levandowski forward it goes and now they can launch a [Music] counter R by aano couldn't do a whole lot with it there what sharpness in their passing [Music] Rafia he's had a sh big relief it just needed better contact they're probably getting frustrated by the lack of chances I suppose substitutions taking place hoists it forward and it's played forward battles to win it [Music] back Rafia is fouled [Music] ortis well the pressure is Relentless it's a very very high press yeah because it's all about winning the ball back at the earliest opportunity a trigger by one player for the others to follow and designed to force oppositional steps B tries to get it Forward quickly trund wrestled off the ball defending all bit from an unexpected Source I think it's great to see that kind of application and desire from the forward wants to help out his defense I I think you know any good team really the striker should be the first line of that defense and and he's [Applause] delivering the attendance for this match was 8,314 Martinez Martinez drives it forward di one in tetri played in with accuracy well played he saw that coming can called believe is to say he was expecting a better ball than that tried to play it through yeah the idea was right the delivery wasn't they can revisit that further on plays it out to the [Music] wing Bala Martinez forward it goes cuts it [Applause] out in the end they found themselves pending nowhere to go Martinez [Applause] RAF and here's [Music] levandowski and here's levandowski it's a good fo in there chance to break needed a better pass there to the keeper and try something new Martinez and here's levandowski it has gone through to him and here's Le it's leandi quick first touch and almost as good a second levandowski greatly took control of that which was exactly what the situation [Music] required substitution in progress be another change here [Applause] and he has been fouled [Applause] there just a talking to I think yes it is [Applause] managed to get it away Barcelona clearly seemed to who have lost their passing accuracy something they're obviously going to have to fix pretty quickly now [Music] Martinez to locate someone up front [Music] good challenge he just stood firm oh real danger here lovely feet Fenty waiting in the middle gets up to H oh he couldn't get the direction he needed I have to commend the wing plate but I have to condemn the defending they've got to stop the cross that's a poor kick by The Keeper he's just given it straight [Music] back it's levandowski aralo levandowski V he'll hit it a collective sigh of relief from the defense that's what all good teams do these days pressing from the front is highly [Music] [Applause] effective It Forward eventually fored without doing any harm Ortiz Tri to get it Forward quickly piter tries to stroke it through referee's given a throw and here's levandowski and out to safety Rafia with a good steal well played Baler B [Applause] aroo he wasn't very far from making something happen by himself lovely to [Applause] see and it's played forward [Applause] [Applause] question that's a foul and the referee has show him a yellow card well what goes through a player's head at times like that is a mystery to me massive B he was well picked out just needed a better finish well if only the caliber of the Finish was as high as the the caliber of the supply it was a beautifully played cross and really should have seen some better on the end of it Alo a what intercepted really alerts the danger [Applause] and here's Le [Applause] Lei oh that's a terrific save from The Keeper levandowski is very sporting here to acknowledge the quality of the save a lovely little footballing moment defending of the desperate variety that had to be more accurate katri katri drives it forward and he's there to clear it looking to go deep forward it goes has he found his man Aro just brushed off the ball there now the [Applause] counter it's levandowski more than happy to take the muscular approach B [Applause] [Applause] chip through ball in just [Applause] miscalculated pedri [Applause] [Music] Otis Aro now it's rafino VTO oh that's a fine save oh that's a sparkling save absolutely sparkling his reflexes work Ultra Sharp [Music] a smart save tries to get it Forward quickly that's clear cut it's a free [Applause] kick Martinez pedri good defending there they've slammed the door in the faces of the opposition AR Aro drives It Forward not guilty of lacking inventiveness here it's all broken down just down up to 75 [Music] minutes kovski plays it out to the flank gets the B of his man timely intervention graia he's gone for it disappointing finish in the end Victor put absolutely everything he had into that maybe better look next time finds himself eased off the ball now it's [Music] levandowski ortis kund hoists It Forward Rafa aralo could move up a gear here J day great strength too strong for his [Applause] opponent and it's played for the defense can get it clear that's a foul simple decision for the referee substitution to this could VTO oh it looked like 3-0 for sure VTO just got a little carried away with himself there he knew he could have clinched it pedri and here's leowski oh shooting chance and it's levandowski no messing about just bludgeon the way that's been one straight back it's a very good battle there terrific to watch well look I don't think he can say he didn't have enough support in that instance because he's got to get his head up more and see what's around him if you're going to keep your head down looking at the ball you're not going to see the options and that was a bit selfish for me to the keeper and go again ortis pedri Martinez Bala [Music] gooder gets it back forward attack your back like that always appreciated by the crowd well they say that your front Lads should be that first line of um of stopping the opposition and I think he's taken it to another level with his desire to get back and and help everyone out done very well to [Music] intervene kundai kundai drives It Forward back back to the keeper

outcome on this opening day it be a quite a miracle [Applause] a heavy [Applause] challenge throw in good [Music] day and he's going long he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there ah was too timid to make it through the defense it'll be noted and and improved upon I'm sure [Applause] Martinez B now it's levandowski levandovsky it's gone a long way up and [Music] [Applause] away and the through ball is intercepted they've got it back as soon as they gave it away out to the right goodday [Music] ortis Martinez goes looking hoists It Forward pedri battles to win
