Chapter 913 Terrorist Attack

The [-]-[-] season was a season full of crisis for Barcelona.

In the summer of [-], Florentino entered the palace for the second time and took charge of the Bernabeu. He snatched the two superstars Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic from Barcelona in one go, plus Kaka, Arjen Robben, Sneijder, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano.

In the following season, the Galaxy Battleship double-killed Barcelona, ​​and won two heavy championships in La Liga and the Champions League in one breath, becoming the double champion. This was a very painful blow to Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been enemies in La Liga.

The Galacticos took the lead, so Barcelona will suffer. Chairman Laporta's re-election campaign failed disastrously. After Rosell took office, he thoroughly checked the club's finances and corruption.

Throughout the summer of [-], apart from Villa, who was signed by Laporta during his tenure, Barcelona did not sign another star.

Not only Fabregas did not come, but the striker Guardiola wanted did not come either.

As a result, Guardiola was forced to dig inside, and Pedro began to become the partner of Messi and Villa, forming a trident. At the same time, Guardiola was also actively developing the offensive capabilities of the midfielders.

In the third year of coaching, Guardiola began to play the football he wanted in Barcelona, ​​especially after sending away Yaya Toure with a lot of regrets, Barcelona's strategy of fully implementing the pass and possession play has become very obvious.

Throughout the season, Barcelona's passing and possession system has reached the peak in history, and almost every game can steadily occupy more than [-]% of the possession rate.

So far, the league has played 28 rounds, and Barcelona has only lost one game.

But what is regrettable is that it was precisely the game that could not be lost that was lost.

From the summer to the league, Barcelona is full of crisis. On the one hand, it is not easy to sign in, on the other hand, it is facing the wolf-like Real Madrid. In addition, the European teams are racking their brains to find ways to restrain Barcelona's pass and control play. This makes everyone in the team feel proud and worried at the same time.

Especially after losing to Real Madrid in the first Clasico.

Fortunately, Yang Yang was injured and sidelined for more than two months, causing problems in Real Madrid's offense and allowing Barcelona to gain enough leads. They even thought at one point that the team was already winning.

Unexpectedly, after the winter break, Real Madrid played in an almost crazy state, especially after entering February, the Galacticos played a frenzy of goals that even Barcelona shuddered.

However, Barcelona itself has a crisis.

In the No.20 three rounds of La Liga, Barcelona drew [-]-[-] away with Sporting Gijon, but this is just the beginning.

Three days later, at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, Barcelona lost [-]-[-] to the Gunners Arsenal.

Wenger's team took [-]% of the ball and killed Barcelona. Although the details are different, they remain the same. Arsenal's tactical play is exactly the same as that of previous teams such as Real Madrid and Inter Milan. There is no accident.

For a time, everyone in the European football world began to realize that it was time for Barcelona to step down from the altar.

There is still a second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 20, but after returning to La Liga, Barcelona's performance still did not improve much, especially in the eighth round of No.

This time the opponent became Sevilla.

Pretty much the same version, the same approach, just with a different opponent.

From leading by [-] points most of the time to now leading by [-] points, Barcelona is under the pressure of Real Madrid, constantly losing its leading edge, and being pushed to a desperate situation step by step.

Media reporters fearing that the world will not be chaotic began to hype the Barcelona crisis, and even many media are hyping that Barcelona's season is coming to an end, the Champions League is difficult to comeback, the league is likely to be reversed by Real Madrid, and even the Copa del Rey final may be lost to their deadly rivals.

For a while, the sky at Camp Nou seemed to be falling.

……

As the team's number one superstar, Messi has withstood great pressure.

His performance is not bad, so far he has scored 28 goals in 29 league rounds, he scored six goals in seven games in the Champions League, and he scored seven goals in the Copa del Rey.

In other words, in the past few months, he has contributed 42 goals for Barcelona alone, which is good enough.

But recently, Messi has been under a lot of pressure.

Because he was reversed by Yang Yang.

From leading by nearly [-] goals to now falling behind Yang Yang by [-] goals, Messi felt very speechless and depressed. He couldn't understand what kind of opponent was standing in front of him, and why he could do such a thing?
Over the years, Messi has always regarded Yang Yang as his lifelong enemy. He regards Yang Yang as his goal and always wants to surpass his opponent, and this season is the best opportunity he can think of.

Although, this seems a bit invincible.

But now, Messi suddenly found that even if he took advantage of the fire to rob and win without force, Yang Yang quickly chased him back, and even reversed himself under the disadvantage. This made him admire Yang Yang even more, but also made him more depressed.

Could it be that he really has no way to defeat Yang Yang?

No!No way!There must be a way!There must be a chance! !

Messi is no longer a fledgling kid a few years ago, he is becoming more mature and more tenacious, especially after experiencing the setbacks of last season, he is ushering in the golden years of his career.

He firmly believes that he is the strongest!

The number of league goals is 35 to 29, and Yang Yang leads by six goals.

Judging from the current situation, if Messi wants to reverse, he has to show a better and better state.

In the Copa del Rey, both scored seven goals, and the key depends on the performance in the final final.

The most important, but also the most eye-catching is the Champions League.

Messi currently leads the UEFA Champions League scorer list with six goals, Yang Yang has only scored one goal so far, because he missed the entire group stage and played only one knockout game.

The Champions League is the favorite to win!
The premise is that Barcelona must continue to move forward and keep going.

And if you want to move forward, you must reverse Arsenal!
Messi must show a better, better, and more terrifying state!
…………

…………

March [-], Camp Nou.

In the second round of the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona will host Arsenal.

In the first round, the Gunners had a 30.00% ball possession rate, but limited Barcelona's shots to single digits, and finally defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] at home, which gave Wenger hope and gave the players confidence.

In the second round, Wenger drew on the experience of the first round and once again used a [-] tactic.

Arsenal have two important players missing, one is Walcott, who is extremely fast, and the other is the defensive backbone of the midfield, Alexander Song. These two players played an important role in the first round.

Captain Puyol was absent due to injury, Pique was suspended, and Guardiola still had Yaya Toure in his hands last season, but now, he can only let Busquets retreat to the central defender, partner with Abidal, and improvise a central defender combination.

The midfielder is a combination of Seydu Keita, Xavi and Iniesta.

Wenger had already prepared for this. His team did not play conservatively. After the opening, they continued to push forward across the board, and the defense line also pushed forward. The purpose was to ensure that there were no gaps between the lines.

Like the first round, Arsenal's formation was maintained well, the connection was very tight, and the pressure on Barcelona was also very effective. Basically, it could form a steal in the frontcourt, or interfere and delay the opponent in time, buy enough time for the midfield and organize a tight formation.

For Barcelona, ​​everything is the same as usual, but it may be that Busquets is missing in the midfield today, and the Gunners are pressing hard, and the ball is not going smoothly, so Messi retreats very deep, and even looks more like a central midfielder.

Villa and Pedro were forced to push forward.

That's what Wenger wanted.

It is difficult for Messi, who is surrounded by Arsenal's midfield, to create a threat.

Seeing that the game was developing in the direction he expected, Wenger became more confident on the sidelines, especially when the first half entered stoppage time and the score was still zero to zero, Wenger was even more relieved.

"Our defense was very successful. We built an impenetrable fortress in front of the goal. Even if we encounter a terrorist attack, we don't have to worry about it." Wenger joked with assistant coach Pat Rice.

At this time, it was already the third minute of stoppage time in the first half.

Pat Rice also agrees with this very much, and he has even started to prepare for the half-time break, what to say to encourage the Arsenal players who worked hard in the first half.

If the team can eliminate Barcelona and advance, it will be a huge encouragement to Arsenal.

But at this moment, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

Fabregas made a wrong pass and was cut off. Messi counterattacked with the ball and was surrounded by Arsenal. There were four players around him, but the Argentine superstar suddenly passed the ball to Iniesta and sprinted forward.

Iniesta understood, rubbed the ball without stopping, and passed it to Messi's front.

The Argentine superstar rushed to the front of the penalty area, facing Iniesta's pick pass, and facing the attacking Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny, Messi gave a light pick with his left foot.

The ball flicked over Szczesny's head and crashed into the goal behind him.

At this moment, the game time just jumped into the 5th minute of stoppage time.

In an instant, the entire Camp Nou stadium went completely crazy!

The stands turned into a vast ocean, and everyone was shouting hoarsely, as if they had been attacked by terror.

And Messi rushed to the sidelines quickly, pointing at Iniesta who assisted him.

At this moment, he transformed into a confident world top superstar again.

Messi!
