Chapter 523 High, really high!

Pass... pass again... pass again... continue to pass... see the gap! ! !
Pedro quickly cut into space and Iniesta's pass landed very precisely in his sprinting path.

This made the Spanish left forward smile.

He seemed to see that after rushing over, what greeted him was a suddenly enlightened situation!
Now he seems to be sprinting quickly on a dark corridor, and the hole in front is light!

But suddenly, an emergency alarm came.

Before Pedro had time to react, Juanfran slashed out from a diagonal stab, stealing the ball cleanly...

...tripped him!
beep!
The referee's foul whistle sounded, Barcelona's free kick opportunity!
No cards?
Pedro looked up and saw the kind smile of Michel Perez, how nice it was!

It was the first time he discovered that good people can also make people sad!

Set-pieces, lobs, lobs into the box, no chance!
The ball quickly returned to the Barcelona half, still in the backcourt.

After Atletico Madrid took the lead, the defense did not retreat, but continued to deploy defenses along the center line, and the tactics were still the same.

It's just... It seems that the pressing is more targeted!

Alba took the ball, was forced by Mario Suarez, and passed it to Busquets.

But as soon as Busquets got the ball, Diego Costa and Tevez had a tacit understanding of playing back and forth!
It's from Yayagope, can I pass it on?

Hey, who am I going to pass it on to?
Raul Garcia, Gabi and Illarramendi looked at the Barcelona duo, Xavi and Iniesta respectively.

Coupled with the referee wearing a yellow shirt and black ball pants, Busquets wanted to cry.

You're blocking my way out of the ball, you know that?

As a last resort, it was passed to Alves on the right, but Atletico Madrid quickly adjusted its defensive focus and blocked it again.

Pour, pour, pour, finally poured back and forth, poured out a chance.

Xavi took the ball and entered the 30-meter area of ​​Atletico Madrid. Looking up, there were three of his own players in the penalty area, but there were four opponents.

Damn, while our side was advancing backwards, the opponent actually retreated the defense line to the goal.

Soon, the alarm sounded again.

Iliaramendi and Gabi approached quickly, before Harvey had time to make a judgment, Gabi directly fouled from behind.

The kind Michel Perez ran over again, and it was still a free kick in the frontcourt!
Harvey and the others immediately became dissatisfied, and greeted a group of brothers, so they did it again and put pressure on the referee!
"Mr. Perez, you should give them a little warning!"

"Yeah, Michelle, don't you think they foul a little too much?"

"Don't you think they're always fouling the game when we're trying to get up to speed?"

"I think you should at least give them a yellow card?"

"Can you show some courage? Even if this is Calderon... Uh, no, this is our Camp Nou, our home stadium. Shouldn't you take proper care of the home team?"

"Look, how angry the fans are! Listen again, they can't take it anymore, Atletico Madrid is too dirty!"

Michelle Perez smiled so kindly, facing the pressure from the swarming Barcelona players, he could not choose to retreat, but shook his head with a smile.

"I think their fouls are within the rules. You should find a way to break through their defense instead of complaining about my penalty. I firmly believe that my law enforcement standards are fine!"

"What? No problem? Does that mean we are the ones with the problem?"

"Wow, we have been playing football for so many years, and we have never seen such a useless referee!"

"That's right, even the home team doesn't accommodate and take care of it, is it plausible?"

The scene that happened in the stadium was seen by more than 9 fans, and it was also captured by TV cameras and transmitted to every corner of the world.

"It seems that the Barcelona players are a little impatient, and Vilanova should stabilize the team's morale as soon as possible!"

"It's only been 10 minutes. Although we are one goal behind, with Barcelona's strength, it's not a problem at all!"

"Atletico Madrid's defense is too flexible this time. I finally understand why Mandzukic is not used. The Croatian is tall and is indeed a weapon against Barcelona, ​​but his mobility will indeed make Atletico Madrid's defensive system slow and cumbersome!"

"Simeone's team formation in this game is quite targeted, it is really eye-catching, and it is enough for all teams that want to beat Barcelona to learn a lesson from it!"

"However, we are all curious, how long can Simeone's tactics last?"

The game restarted, and Barcelona still failed to break Atletico Madrid's strict defense.

However, Vilanova also seemed to realize that the players' anxious mood was not good for the game, so he kept spreading the word on the sidelines, and finally calmed down the team.

After calming down, Barcelona quickly stabilized its position. The players adjusted their mentality and began to cooperate consciously.

Atletico Madrid can't do anything about it!

Once Barcelona's pass control system is running smoothly, defense is quite difficult.

Therefore, Simeone adjusted his tactics and signaled the team to return to defense!
After Atletico Madrid returned to the defense, the nine retreated to the 30-meter area to defend, and the defense line was arranged at the front of the penalty area, leaving Diego Costa in front.

After stealing the ball, Atletico Madrid also went to Diego Costa immediately.

Now Barcelona's central defender Pique is getting angry!

Pickenbauer once again won the cheers of the Nou Camp fans, which also made him a little proud.

"Hey, tonight, don't expect to grab even one more header from my head!"

Pique played smoothly, full of confidence, and couldn't help but want to hit Diego Costa.

Damn it, if I don't vent all the grievances and depression I received from Drogba and Ibrahimovic on you, I won't be called Pique from now on!
Diego Costa smiled coldly at the triumphant Pique, "Let's see!"

Barcelona quickly entered the 30-meter zone of Atletico Madrid again, but was quickly cleared by the Sheets.

The ball still came to Diego Costa.

The Brazilian judged the landing point early and got stuck in the position first.

Pique was a little slow to react, realizing that he had lost his best position, but he quickly had an idea and immediately moved closer to Diego Costa.

When the ball fell quickly, Pique put one hand on Diego Costa's body.

The latter broke free for a while, but Pique quickly got on again.

Seeing that the ball was coming, Pique tried to hold down Diego Costa as soon as he exerted force with his hand, so that the latter could not jump up, and he used his strength to jump up to make a clearance.

If it's someone else, then forget it.

But who is Diego Costa?

Can he be used like this?Why don't you fight back?
It should be said that Diego Costa is also smart and reacts very quickly. When he saw Pique jumping up and leaning on himself, he simply stopped jumping and bent forward.

Pique, who jumped up this time, was miserable.

He originally wanted to press on Diego Costa's shoulder, but who knew that the latter bent over slipperily, and his body suddenly lost his balance. Although he hit the ball, he fell straight down and fell heavily to the ground.

Moreover, it still lands on the buttocks first!
Hearing the bang sound, mixed with the screams, Pique lay on the ground, grinning in pain.

Diego Costa walked away very calmly and calmly.

Pique struggled to get up from the ground, with a distressed expression on his face. He had just started walking for a while, and immediately bent down and gestured towards the sidelines, indicating that he was dying and injured!

"Gerard Pique looks injured!"

"This time is really not good news for Barcelona, ​​because Pique is too important to Barcelona's defense!"

"We saw that Vilanova was also very concerned on the sidelines and asked Mascherano to warm up quickly. This is a substitution!"

Sure enough, soon, Barcelona completed a substitution, and Vilanova had to use Mascherano to replace Pique.

The latter limped towards the sidelines, and when he passed by Diego Costa, he heard the latter's sinister smile.

"It turns out that you used this method to prevent me from grabbing the ball from above your head. High, it's really high!"

Pique's expression of pain froze suddenly, replaced by anger.

If it weren't for Vilanova on the sidelines staring at him, he would almost tear Diego Costa to pieces now.

This guy did it on purpose!
He must have let me slip on purpose just now, it must be!

Pique angrily walked to the sidelines, he didn't even want to shake hands with Mascherano, and even gave a face to the head coach Vilanova, and walked towards the player tunnel.

Vilanova was stunned, you lost my temper?

Damn it, you took the initiative to say that you were injured and couldn't play, so I replaced you?
I even sacrificed one of the team's substitutions. It was only halfway through the first half, and I adjusted the defense. Are you still angry with me?

Okay, okay, just give me enough to heal my wounds!

Vilanova was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

However, at this time, Atletico Madrid on the court seized the opportunity of Barcelona to adjust the defense, and even played another round of rushing.

For the second time in this game, Atletico Madrid adopted high defense and pressing tactics, directly approaching Barcelona's penalty area.

Barcelona was already impetuous, and Pique was injured again, and the morale of the team was a little low.

Now, being forced by Atletico Madrid, the players on the field suddenly panicked.

Messi took the ball in the front court once, but was double-teamed by four Atletico Madrid players. When he passed it to Iniesta, he was intercepted halfway, and Atletico Madrid took advantage of the opportunity to fight back.

Tevez took the ball and advanced to the front of Barcelona's penalty area. After seeing Diego Costa approaching Mascherano, he took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball over the top and picked the ball to the penalty area.

I saw Diego Costa quickly plug in and grab the position before Mascherano.

At this time, only Valdes was left in front of Diego Costa!

I saw Diego Costa with his head up, watching the ball drop and bounce off the ground, watching Valdés at the same time.

The latter finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to attack.

Diego Costa shot directly, the ball passed Valdez and fell to the goal behind him.

The moment the ball rolled over the white line and fell into the Barcelona goal, referee Michel Perez's whistle sounded again.

The goal is valid!

Two to zero!
In an instant, the entire Camp Nou fell into deathly silence!

No one would have thought that Atletico Madrid's first half would go so smoothly!
Two to zero!
In just half an hour, they had already achieved a two-to-zero lead, and they even got rid of their main central defender Pique!

Awesome, really awesome, isn't it?

On the other hand, Barcelona fans are starting to worry and start to fear!

This Atletico Madrid team is too fierce, too fierce, too fierce!
Not only the players in the midfield and backcourt are fierce, but even Diego Costa and Tevez in the frontcourt are very fierce when they are fighting.

The sturdy atmosphere of the whole team really left a very deep impression on people.

Even the fans on the sidelines feel so deeply, what about the players on the court?
Can they still perform well against such a fierce team?
Barcelona is already two goals behind, is there any chance of winning?
