Chapter 509
Seeing Yang Yang rushing out of the field excitedly, celebrating his scoring twice, Messi felt very depressed.

Because compared with Yang Yang's brilliant performance, he looked very sluggish in this game.

It's not just him, the whole Barcelona team doesn't look excited enough.

Is it the team's continuous multi-line combat problem?

There are reasons for that, especially in the second half, but not all.

Before this game, Messi only played two games, namely at home against Racing Santander, he played 22 minutes off the bench, and away to Valencia, he played 35 minutes off the bench.

It can be said that he has not found his state at all, let alone the best state.

Rijkaard arranged for him to start in the hope that he could echo Ronaldinho from a distance, but this is precisely what Liverpool least wanted him to do, and Benitez arranged for the right-footed Arbeloa to mark him in this game.

How difficult are the Spaniards?

Throughout the first half, 45 minutes, Barcelona had an overwhelming advantage in possession of the ball, but Messi had only a measly [-] touches and [-] passes, most of which were on the wing.

Arbeloa's defense is very broken. He cuts off the pass to Messi from the center and the left. As long as Messi gets the ball from the side, he mainly blocks his inside line and makes him active on the side.

But the terrible thing is that Messi's right foot can't play a threat at all.

Ronaldinho fell into an isolated situation on the left, the midfielder was suppressed in the middle, Saviola has not shown satisfactory strength, and Barcelona's entire midfield attack was almost paralyzed.

Messi wants to make a difference, he wants to help the team, but he can't.

Before the game, many Catalan media had high hopes for him. World Sports News even believed that tonight would be Leo's night, but the game has been going on so far, it is better to say it is Yang Yang's night.

In other words, this is a nightmare night in Barcelona!

…………

…………

Messi's helplessness is definitely not an isolated case, but the voice of many Barcelona stars.

They are all working very hard to show better performance, but in the case of comprehensive suppression of tactics, what they can do is really limited.

In this case, everyone is counting on Ronaldinho to turn into a superman like he did in the previous two seasons, with amazing performances, break through Liverpool's iron defense and win for Barcelona.

But it is clear that Ronaldinho no longer possesses the magic of the past two years.

He was like a magician who lost his magic wand, lost his magical powers.

Eto'o completely broke with the coaching staff and management, and was banned from the squad. Rijkaard has never been good at commanding on the spot. Messi is only 19 years old and too young. He lacks the ability and courage to independently provoke the team...

In the second half, Barcelona's most threatening opportunity came from Messi's left pass.

Saviola passed Carragher, broke into the penalty area and shot, but was saved by Reina.

After Messi got the ball, he broke through Arbeloa horizontally and hit the goal. He was a little too hasty and was blocked by Finnan, but he still failed to create a threat.

Judging from various performances on the court, Barcelona has always been unable to come up with effective ways to change the situation.

On the contrary, Liverpool, after the two-goal reversal of Barcelona, ​​became more confident as they played. The team steadily grasped the defense and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

And Barcelona's increasingly impatient mind has also continuously exposed problems.

Soon, Liverpool seized another opportunity.

…………

…………

"Liverpool steal the ball from midfield, Sissoko steals it and passes it to Gerrard."

"Gerrard got the ball on the right and chose to go forward himself."

"Liverpool launched a counterattack quickly, and the front three were all engaged in the attack."

"Dukiter quickly slanted into the penalty area and opened the defense for Gerardella."

"Gerrard went to the right side of the penalty area, made a direct pass, and looked for the forward point."

"Dukiter's header..."

"Valdés flew up and hit the ball."

"But the ball was still in the penalty area, Crouch grabbed the first header, and the header flew to the back point..."

……

During the quick counterattack just now, Yang Yang saw Gerrard quickly dribbling the ball forward on the right, so he chose to be one step behind.

This is to stretch the defense in the penalty area, but also to create layers of offense.

But he is also sure enough that if Gerrard passes directly to the back point, he will insert it immediately.

Gerrard chose to look for Dirk, but the Dutch striker's header was blocked by Valdes.

At this time, Yang Yang noticed Crouch, so he rushed into the restricted area quickly.

Sure enough, Crouch's height had an overwhelming advantage. Without a chance to shoot, he chose to ferry the header to the back point, and Yang Yang stepped in at this time, just picking up a big deal.

Belletti followed closely beside Yang Yang, and Rafael Marcos kept retreating, judging where the ball would land.

The two were one behind the other, sandwiching Yang Yang in the middle, but Yang Yang couldn't hold back and jumped higher.

Rafael Marcos is about the same height as Yang Yang, but he is retreating, while Yang Yang has a running distance, so after jumping up, Yang Yang is much taller than him.

As for Belletti behind him, he couldn't jump up at all.

After jumping up, the ball came right in front of him. Yang Yang quickly pointed his head and hit the ball firmly on his forehead.

The ball changed direction and flew straight into Barcelona's goal!

……

"Wow!!!!"

"God! The ball is scored again!!!!!!"

"hat trick!"

"hat trick!!"

"Oh my god, Yang Yang performed a hat-trick!"

"And he still uses the header that he is least good at!"

"It's just unbelievable!"

"His jumping ability is really amazing, he is a full head higher than Marcos. The Mexican central defender has no ability to compete with him, so he can only watch Yang Yang score with a header!"

"Three to one! Liverpool reversed Barcelona!"

……

Yang Yang turned around immediately after landing, and rushed to the sidelines quickly.

This is already the third time he has glided at the Nou Camp in this game.

The audience of [-] Barcelona fans was silent, no booing, but no applause either.

In fact, after scoring the third goal, Yang Yang was not too excited, because the third goal came by coincidence.

Of course, he was indeed one step behind deliberately beforehand, and then suddenly stepped in, which would make it more difficult for the players defending him, but it was indeed a bit of a coincidence. The opportunities created by his teammates were so good that it would be unreasonable not to score.

Maybe it was because of celebrating three times, or maybe it was because the goal came too easily, but Yang Yang was not as excited as the previous two times. He just ran to the sidelines, waved his hand, turned around, and hugged with his teammates who were chasing him.

……

"Barcelona suffered a complete defeat!"

"This is definitely an unacceptable fact, but Liverpool did perform better and more active in this game, especially Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick at the Nou Camp!"

"Rijkaard should reflect on his tactics, because Ronaldinho and Messi were obviously restricted by Liverpool in this game, but as the team's head coach, neither Iniesta nor Giuly could change the offensive situation in the frontcourt after playing."

"This is absolutely unqualified!"

"From [-] to [-] to [-] to [-], Barcelona suffered a nightmare reversal, especially at the Nou Camp Stadium, which can almost be said to have completely ruined the possibility of Barcelona's promotion from the top sixteen."

"But anyway, there is still the second round of the match, as long as Rijkaard can find the strongest Barcelona team, then everything is unknown."

"In contrast to Liverpool, Benitez's tactical attainments are indeed admirable, almost suppressing Barcelona, ​​and the joining of Yang Yang has greatly improved Liverpool's offensive ability."

"Tonight's hat-trick is the best example!"

……

After Yang Yang celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines, he ran to the coaching bench of the visiting team, shook hands and hugged Benitez, followed by the chief assistant coach Yesterdan.

For Benitez and Yesterdan, Yang Yang is full of respect.

Benitez is the head coach he has ever experienced, with the best tactical attainments. The Spaniard has considered everything that may happen on the court in almost every game.

Sometimes, Yang Yang even wondered, could this guy who looks so indifferent, mechanical, and expressionless really be a robot?
But Yesterdan is the complete opposite, this is a Spaniard who always has a kind smile.

I really don't know how these two people came together, how can they cooperate so well?

Coming out of the coaching bench of the visiting team, Yang Yang ran right in front of Messi.

The Argentine looked a little lonely, but Yang Yang still nodded and smiled at him politely.

Messi was a little surprised, and quickly nodded, as a return.

On the field of competition, you come and go, and the outcome depends on your ability, but the minimum courtesy is still required.

And Yang Yang still clearly remembers that when he attended the FIFA Awards Ceremony in December, Ronaldinho jokingly said when he saw Yang Yang that he and Messi were ready to wait for him at Camp Nou.

At that time, the Brazilians were still so high-spirited.

But who would have thought that after just two months, everything would undergo such an astonishing change.

An impenetrable fortress is always broken first from within.

As the defending champion of the Champions League, Barcelona not only lost to Liverpool, but more importantly, they lost to themselves.

Perhaps, from the moment Eto'o confronted the media and exposed the conflicts within the locker room and management, Barcelona had already lost.

After realizing this level, Yang Yang discovered how difficult it is for a team like Liverpool to have such a united dressing room!
