Chapter 423 Assists Hat-trick
Goalkeeper Valdés, defense Van Bronckhorst, Marcos, Puyol and Belletti, midfielder Marcos Senna, Iniesta and Harvey in the middle, Ronaldinho, Sudong and Messi's trident combination in the frontcourt.

This is the starting XI for Barcelona's home game against Udinese.

It will also be the most turning point in Messi's career so far.

He replaced Giuly as the starting right winger.

Before the game, Su Dong and Messi stood in the middle circle, the Argentine seemed a little nervous and kept taking deep breaths.

"Don't be nervous, Leo, you have already experienced the Champions League final and won the world championship." Su Dong joked with a smile.

Messi glanced at him and smiled wryly.

The Champions League final is true, but he came off the bench, and his performance was not particularly outstanding. As for the world champion, what kind of world champion is the World Youth Championship?
Furthermore, the meaning of tonight's game is completely different from the past.

People outside may not know it, but the Barcelona locker room is very clear that Rijkaard intends to test Messi and Iniesta to see how much they can play.

"Su, I'm still a little nervous." Messi smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, let's play to your heart's content!" Su Dong stretched out his hand and patted Messi's head, "I'll take care of you in front!"

After hearing this, Messi took another deep breath before nodding vigorously again.

……

With the British referee Bent's whistle, amidst the voices of [-] Barcelona fans, the game officially started.

Su Dong quickly kicked the ball to Messi, who passed back with one foot.

Barcelona's formation quickly spread out, the ball was rolled to the back line, and passed continuously.

Harvey and Iniesta both tried to pull apart as much as possible, and kept going back and forth to meet their teammates.

Udinese performed well in Serie A last season, beat Roma, Lazio and other teams, and won the fourth place in Serie A, which proves that this team is strong, but they dare not easily overwhelm them when they are a guest at Camp Nou.

When Barcelona passed the ball continuously at the beginning, Udinese's choice was to set up a tight camp and hold the half court tightly, not being moved by Barcelona's possession of the ball at all, and not going forward to grab the ball.

Interestingly, after the opening of Barcelona, ​​there was a passing period that lasted for more than two minutes. During this period, Udinese did not even touch the ball, but passively defended in response to Barcelona's repeated attempts.

But the audience's first threatening shot came from Udinese midfielder Muntari's long-range shot.

This long-range shot from 25 meters away failed to kick with strength and was easily confiscated by Valdez.

Maybe it was too nervous. Messi made several mistakes after the opening, but as Su Dong comforted him again and again, as Barcelona gradually controlled the rhythm and the scene, he gradually entered the state.

In the 7th minute, after stealing the ball from Udinese defender Obodo, Messi dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inward. After passing two opponents, he curved the ball with his left foot and hit the goal. However, the shot was not powerful and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Just 1 minute later, it was Messi's light dribbling that created a threat, but unfortunately it failed to turn into an offense.

……

Su Dong's main task in this game is not to score goals, but to help Ronaldinho, Messi and Iniesta.

He doesn't need to prove himself anymore, but Ronaldinho has been questioned this season and has just been punished internally by Rijkaard. He needs a wonderful game to please the fans and win the locker room at the same time.

Not to mention Messi and Iniesta, they both rarely start, especially when they beat Giuly and Deco to start.

It can be said that all three played under pressure. In this situation, Su Dong had no reason not to help them.

What's more, they usually pass the ball to Su Dong.

So, after Messi got better, Su Dong also took the initiative to change his role, no longer looking for scoring opportunities, but pulling the line of defense for Messi. For example, when Messi kicked the ball just now, Su Dong led the defender to the right in the opposite direction when he cut inside.

Messi started instead of Giuly. Barcelona's tactics, especially the offensive tactics, are obviously different.

Giuly is a right-footed player who plays right winger. He is characterized by assault and scoring. At this time, Barcelona’s offense is more inclined to the left. Ronaldinho is responsible for taking the ball and attracting defensive attention.

But today, after Messi started, his ability to hold the ball is not inferior to that of Ronaldinho. Moreover, he plays with his left foot on the right, and he is good at dribbling inward and obliquely from the right.

There is an excellent player on both sides. Messi faintly competes with Ronaldinho, and even plays better. Coupled with Su Dong's pulling support from left to right, Barcelona's front trident frequently crosses positions, which makes Udinese's defensive players very headache.

No. 13 minutes, it was Su Dong who suddenly appeared on the right side of the penalty area, received a long pass from Harvey, and stopped the ball to Messi.

Vidigal, who followed the defense all the way, was warned by a yellow card.

Ronaldinho walked over without hesitation, took the direct free kick in a fairly good position, and used a wonderful arc kick to bypass the wall and hit the net against the right post, one to zero!

Su Dong has also been practicing free kicks recently, studying Juninho's "hidden secrets". When watching Ronaldinho's free kick, he was full of praise.

Damn, the ball was not fast and powerful, but it was so ingenious. Not only did it go around the wall, but it also stuck to the right post and entered the net. The goalkeeper didn't even respond to this, the angle was too tricky.

All in all, one word, handsome!

……

After opening the scoring, Barcelona did not stop their attack, but instead launched a series of violent attacks.

Su Dong also frequently made the ball for his teammates. First, he made a cross pass, and then Ronaldinho passed it to Iniesta.

Afterwards, Harvey took a corner kick, Su Dong's header flew to the back point, and Messi pushed in front of the goal and broke Udinese's goal.

Two to zero!
Just 2 minutes later, Messi reciprocated. After dribbling the ball from the right, he cut horizontally. After passing two opponents, he suddenly sent a deadly pass with his left foot.

Facing such an opportunity, Su Dong did his part and fought straight away, three to zero!
No.30 In the second minute, Su Dong pulled to the left side. After responding to Ronaldinho's pass, he used his speed to dribble past Natalie forcibly.

In half an hour, four goals in a row!
Barcelona played a crazy attack and completely crushed Udinese.

More importantly, the three midfielders headed by Marcos Senna, Iniesta and Xavi not only have amazing ball control efficiency, but also plan endless offensives. They are also quite solid on the defensive end, which is quite surprising.

No. 401 minutes, it was Iniesta's sudden jump in. After receiving a pass from Su Dong, when he tried to hit the goal at the front of the penalty area, he was tripped by Muntari, who was returning to the defense all the way.

Ronaldinho took another free kick and made a precise hit, scoring a hat-trick!
Five to zero!
crazy!

The whole Camp Nou stadium is completely crazy!
Tonight's Barcelona not only played an amazing pass and control efficiency, but also played a wave of offensive.

……

During the intermission, Rijkaard named and praised several players who played bravely in the first half, such as Ronaldinho and Messi who performed a hat-trick, and also praised Su Dong's performance.

Although Su Dong only scored one goal, he contributed two assists, and he participated in most of the threatening offenses. His role is obvious to all. Anyone can see that he is helping his teammates more tonight.

This also makes the teammates in the locker room admire or appreciate him even more.

After changing sides in the second half, only 4 minutes into the game, Su Dong turned around and sent a through ball after taking the ball with his back. Messi caught up to form a single goal, lobbed a goal in the penalty area, and scored twice!

Su Dong also performed a hat trick!

However, it is not a hat-trick of goals, but a hat-trick of assists!

Six to zero!
The overall situation has been decided, and the remaining games are meaningless!
……

In 5 minutes, Rijkaard replaced the excellent Sudong with Larsson.

When Sudong walked off the court slowly, Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and other players all ran over to hug him when he passed by.

The [-] Barcelona fans in the audience also stood up one after another and gave Su Dong warm applause.

"Tonight's Sudong is impressive."

"He is not the player who scored the most goals in Barcelona. It was Ronaldinho who scored the hat-trick; he is not the most dazzling player in Barcelona. The most eye-catching performance is the teenager Messi."

"But Su Dong is still the most important player in Barcelona, ​​because it is his presence that allowed Ronaldinho to perform a hat-trick, helped Messi block the defensive pressure, and allowed the Argentine teenager to fully display his talent."

"The fans at the Nou Camp understand that they understand the value and role of Su Dong, so when Su Dong left the field, they all stood up and applauded him and cheered for him."

"A goal, a hat-trick of assists, Su Dong created four of Barcelona's six goals in this game."

"Maybe he won't be the best player tonight, but he is still the most important player for Barcelona tonight!"

……

The game ended with seven to zero.

In the final stage of the game, Barcelona once again won a penalty opportunity. Ronaldinho made a foul in the penalty area, but this time he did not take the penalty himself, but gave it to the substitute Deco.

Deco personally took the penalty kick and locked the score at [-]-[-].

Barcelona won the most hearty victory so far this season at the Nou Camp!
