Chapter 1316 dissatisfied

Messi's goal scoring in the last round of the league did not go very smoothly, although it can be clearly seen that the whole Barcelona team is indeed helping Messi score goals.

But today Messi's shooting style is not very smooth, it seems that he cares too much about scoring goals, but he can't score goals.

In the 9th minute, Barcelona opened the scoring and took the lead.But it wasn't Messi who scored the goal, it was... Butzquez.

Of course, Butzkes didn't intend to grab Messi's chance to shoot.

Speaking of which, the goal was a little... unexpected.

After Messi broke into the penalty area and shot, the football was thrown by Real Betis goalkeeper Espinosa. As a result, the football hit the knee of Butzkes who rushed into the penalty area. With his knee so high, the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball, and then slammed into the empty goal...

Because the distance was too close, Butzkes couldn't react at all, he could only watch the football enter the goal.

After scoring the goal, he reflexively wanted to celebrate, but he quickly realized that the goal should have been scored by Messi, so he restrained his urge to celebrate the goal.He shrugged to Messi, indicating that he was also helpless.

Messi shook his head and smiled, saying it was okay.

Although Messi seems indifferent on the surface, in fact he is still a bit bitter in his heart--it would be great if he scored this goal, and now he is only one goal away from Rong!
Then Messi continued to work hard to find opportunities to shoot, kicking and trying to score again and again.

But until the end of the first half, he failed to score.

At the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, and Barcelona, ​​who played away, took the lead.

Messi didn't score.

After the start of the second half, it was initially no different from the first half, with Barcelona controlling the football and putting pressure on Real Betis' constant attack.

But at 3 minutes, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

Alves received a yellow card for a tackle, his second of the game...

So Alves was sent off with a red card!

"Ah! Alves was sent off, Barcelona now has one less man, but Messi hasn't been able to score yet!"

Barcelona players surrounded the referee, but this did not change the fact that Alves was sent off.

After Alves was sent off with a red card, Barcelona, ​​which had one less player and was only one goal ahead, had to adjust its tactical strategy. From the previous offensive tactics to ball control tactics, they attacked less forward.

Under such circumstances, Messi receives less support and is less likely to score goals.

Manchester City fans and Glorious supporters mocked Messi on social networks.

No.701 minutes, Ruben Castro equalized for Real Betis.Barcelona is really getting worse right now.

And just 4 minutes later, Ruben Castro scored twice to help Real Betis take the lead at home.

At this time, the sky above the Lopera Stadium was full of cheers from Real Betis fans, and some people were chanting glorious names to stimulate and humiliate Messi.

When the close-up shots of the TV broadcast were shown to the Barcelona players, many people were a little confused.It was as if he had been stunned.They didn't care about Real Betis at all before the game. Since they can't win the league championship, they should do their best to help Messi score goals.

As for the outcome against Real Betis?
They didn't think about it at all because they were sure to win.

But I didn't expect the game to develop to this point. They lost one player and fell behind in score by one goal!
This kind of game really greatly exceeded their previous expectations.

But when the close-up shots of the TV broadcast were shown on Messi's face, everyone was surprised to find that Messi's eyes were completely different from those of his teammates, full of fighting spirit, as sharp as two knives.

He seems to have thrown off the pressure of "the whole team will help you score goals. If you still can't win, will you be worthy of your teammates?" Now the game has become simple-try hard to score goals, and then let the team win the game!

No.80 minutes, Messi made a beautiful cooperation with Gao Lin at the front of the penalty area. He passed the football to Gao Lin, and then suddenly cut inside into the penalty area.

After Gao Lin received the ball, he didn't turn around and didn't shoot. Instead, he used his heel to send the football towards Messi's running route into the penalty area!
After Messi entered the penalty area, he just received a pass from Gao Lin. He faked a shot, knocked down the Real Betis player who was in front of him, and then shot again.

The football slipped through the gap between the goalkeeper and the near post and rolled into the goal!

"Messi! He helped Barcelona equalize the score! At the same time, this is his No.70 three goals this season! He is only one goal away from Rong!"

"Messi finally scored a goal! A beautiful cooperation, the high pass is very concealed, and Messi's forward drive is also very firm! This is a normal Messi!"

The Catalan commentator was thrilled.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!! No.70 three goals! Only one goal away! One more goal and he will tie Rong! Come on, Messi!!"

※※※

After the goal, all the pressure was released, and Messi's subsequent performance was even better.

Before, he seemed to be bound by chains formed by pressure, but now he is like a bird flying freely.

No.90 minutes, Messi finally scored again.

"No.70 Four! He equaled Rong! Tenacious Messi! Beautiful!! Amazing!"

Although he scored 74 goals, Messi is not happy because he is only tying Rongguang now. Based on his understanding of Rongguang, just tying Rongguang is definitely not enough.

So he still wants to keep scoring goals.

But the time left for him is running out.

Despite 4 minutes of stoppage time, Messi failed to continue scoring in the game.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the expression on Messi's face was not very happy. He lowered his head and his expression was even a little gloomy.

The commentators certainly know why Messi behaved like this.

He has one last game left, but he's just tying Glory now.But Rongguang still has two games to play.

People can use these two games to widen the gap.

So Messi really hasn't reached the time when he should be happy.

The Catalan commentator also felt sorry for Messi: "Messi's state didn't come out until the final stage of the game, which was a bit too late. If he could enter the state earlier, maybe the situation would be completely different..."

But speaking of it now, this is more like an afterthought.

In an interview in the mixed zone after the game, Messi also talked about his slow entry into the game, but when a reporter asked him whether his slow entry into the game was because he was under too much pressure, he denied it.

"... Rong's goal will not bring me pressure, because I know his ability very well. I have always walked at my own pace..."

It's just that his rhetoric is not convincing to the reporter.

※※※

Rongguang really didn't watch Messi's game, and even the score of the game and the number of Messi's goals were told by his teammates the next day.

"Hi, Rong. Messi scored twice in yesterday's game, tying you." On the bus to Manchester City Stadium, Sneijder said to Rong Guang.

But his tone didn't sound like he was in a hurry for glory at all.

Rong Guang was a little surprised: "He didn't have a hat-trick or something?"

"Of course not. In fact, before the 75 minutes of that game, his performance was quite average. He only started to exert his strength when there were 10 minutes left in the game. It was not easy to score two goals..."

It sounds like Sneijder seems to be more concerned about this matter than Rong Guang. He obviously watched the game.

Rong Guang nodded repeatedly.If you want to fight for the number of goals, it will be more beneficial if you can score goals earlier in the game.

I didn't expect Messi to start to exert his strength with 10 minutes left in the game. It was indeed too late.

"So he's just tying you now. You just need to score a goal in a short period of time and you can continue to lead." This is why Sneijder is not worried about Rongguang at all. He knows the strength of Rongguang.

※※※

When the bus of the Manchester City team arrived at the Manchester City Stadium, countless fans and reporters had gathered there. The fans came to cheer for the glory and also to celebrate the team's three consecutive league championships.

At this time, the reporters only wanted to interview Rong Guang.

When Rong Guang got off the bus, there was a huge cheer, all from the fans.The reporters pushed forward desperately, put their microphones in front of Rong Guang, and rushed to ask their questions.

But the scene was too noisy, so Rong Guang just made a gesture of "I can't hear you clearly" to these reporters, and continued to walk towards the passage without stopping.

The reporters' attempt to interview Rong Guang was shattered.

※※※

Unlike Rong Guang who said that he would not watch Messi's game, Messi was already sitting in front of the TV at this time, preparing to watch the last round of Manchester City's home game against Queens Park Rangers.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Rongguang not to score a goal in this game, but at this moment, Messi was lucky, thinking that maybe Rongguang would be restricted by the opponent in this game?Maybe Rongguang's state in this game is just not good?Maybe Rong Guang didn't wear shooting boots in this game?
After all, football is round.

Everything is possible.Before the last second, no conclusion could be made on the outcome between him and Rong Guang.
