The strongest winger

Chapter 878

When everyone thought that Messi was colliding with Cesc Fabregas, but the latter gave the ball to Iniesta, who was plugging vertically and high-speed from the left side of the penalty area. Out of defensive instinct, the defensive players' attention was all shifted from Messi to Iniesta, who had a good shooting angle.

So Albiol, who turned around, didn't pay attention to Messi running towards the middle of the goal, and Godin couldn't pay attention to Messi because he had to mark Cesc Fabregas, who was running strangely.

Messi sent the ball into the goal under the shouts of nearly [-] Barcelona fans, and he still wore Wang Xiaolei's crotch...

Immediately, huge cheers erupted from the stands, and they chanted tacitly along with the live broadcast: "Messi! Messi! Messi!!"

Messi, who scored a goal, was very excited under the frenzied atmosphere. He staggered and ran towards the corner flag on the left with his arms outstretched. Behind him were equally excited Barcelona players, Fabregas, Xavi, Iniesta, Mascherano...

Messi's goal came too timely. The Barcelona players were very excited, especially Mascherano and Alves. They clearly remembered that the media recorded all their words before the game. If Barcelona lost at home, then they used their toes to think about the problem and knew how the shameless reporters would describe it...

Standing in front of the goal, Valdes was so excited that he even performed a front somersault. However, due to his lack of physical coordination, after landing, he did not stay firmly on the spot like Klose, but fell forward with his upper body. However, his second reaction was very fast, and he pushed his upper body forward at the same time, just like an ordinary somersault with his head on the ground...

Fortunately, the on-site director locked the camera on the goal scorer Messi, otherwise he would become famous again...

The fans sitting in front of the TV can clearly see Messi smiling, and he is no longer as impatient as before.

The Catalan commentator said excitedly: "Messi's goal is very exciting. The whole process is a typical Barcelona goal pattern. The tacit cooperation between the frontcourt players and the continuous pass tore apart Valencia's entire defense line. In the end, Messi made the final decision and sent the ball into the goal..."

The voice changed, and he said: "This goal is similar to Valencia's goal, but the core movement and delivery are more subtle and more enjoyable. Compared with Valencia's three-person small-scale cooperation, our four-person large-scale cooperation this time is more enjoyable!"

The Catalan journalists at the press booth raised their arms and shouted, looking provocatively at the Valencian and Chinese journalists.

Then the camera showed Guardiola's face on the sidelines, his facial expression was obviously much better than the previous restrained state...

On the contrary, Ancelotti had already planned to lead the locker room with a goal from Valencia in the first half of the game, but with this goal, the two sides of the game returned to the same starting line, and there were nearly 4 minutes left in the first half. It is still very difficult to say whether the high-moralized Barcelona can enter the locker room with a draw...

The live director's cuts were of a high level, and he cuts to Aiello as Barcelona wrap up their celebrations.

However, what disappointed the Barcelona people was that Ai Luo did not show displeasure at losing the ball, but clapped his hands at those teammates who felt discouraged, and the captain was full of enthusiasm.

※※※

"I have to say that Barcelona's frontcourt attack was very exciting. Iniesta's cross and Messi's retreat were so confusing that Xavi Martinez didn't notice the moment Messi turned around. Xavi's pass and Messi's forward pass were very subtle, and then the cross to Fabregas and Fabregas' oblique pass to Iniesta was the finishing touch. Messi, who ran to the goal, did the easiest job and easily sent the ball into the goal guarded by Wang Xiaolei."

With the slow motion playback, the commentator He Wei also praised Barcelona's cooperation.

The commentators of other TV stations have explained this in detail, and the meaning of praise is very obvious. After all, this kind of goal with a strong sense of teamwork is already very rare in modern football...

The game restarted. Even though Valencia had the advantage of kick-off, it did not affect Barcelona's forward pressing defense. Their high-position pressing began as soon as Valencia kicked off. Fortunately, the tacit understanding between Xavi Martinez, David Silva and Cazorla was good enough, and the continuous passing was enough to avoid Barcelona's joint pressing.

However, with the increase of Barcelona's forward troops, Albiol, who was holding the ball, had to pass the ball to Wang Xiaolei.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaolei could pass the ball to the full-back Azpilicueta on the lateral right, but with Iniesta's forward pressure and Messi's pressure on Wang Xiaolei, Azpilicueta had to choose to drive the ball forward.

But this effect can be imagined?

Except that Ai Luo has a certain ability to compete, David Villa and David Silva can only stare blankly.

In addition, Azpilicueta's big foot clearance did not fly to Aiello's position, so the control of football fell to Barcelona.

After more than a dozen consecutive complex transfers of the football, it was finally handed over to Messi.

Valencia's defenders in the middle subconsciously tensed up, and David Silva in the Christmas tree formation 'two' rushed over first.

As a result, there was no accident, Messi stopped suddenly and changed direction.

Cazorla came out from Messi's breakthrough side and attempted to steal the ball. Messi did not make a sudden stop and change direction this time, but accelerated his breakthrough from the center to the right.

After passing Cazorla, he continued to cooperate with Harvey, Fabregas and Iniesta, holding the ball to the front of the penalty area in the blink of an eye.

Neither Harvey Martinez nor Albiol dared to act rashly, for fear that they would be overwhelmed by the breakthrough madman Messi if they made an early move.

However, at this moment, Messi suddenly started on the spot, flicked the ball to the left with the outer instep of his left foot, and swung his left foot directly.

"——Leo Messi!!"

In the long roar of the Catalan commentator, Messi shot a cold arrow in the front left of the penalty area.

The power is not great, but the victory lies in the very tricky angle.

Even though Wang Xiaolei was very focused, he didn't touch football.

The football hit the goal crossbar and flew out of the baseline, startling the Valencia fans at the far end of the stand in cold sweat.

Guardiola, who was worried on the sidelines, was finally relieved, and now Messi made him very relieved.

Soon, Valencia's defenders found Messi increasingly difficult to deal with.

But fortunately, the end whistle of the first half blew quietly in the tense game...

The two sides entered the locker room with a score of 1:1.

※※※

The Valencia players were beaten by Barcelona in the last few minutes of the first half, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

The on-site director shot the two core Aiello and Messi one after another, trying to capture a little difference from each other's facial expressions.

Obviously, Ai Luo's expression is still calm, and Messi's calmness and frowning after scoring the equalizer make it feel more like Barcelona lagging behind.

I don’t know if the Barcelona fans in the stands were dissatisfied with Ai Luo’s lack of expression. When Ai Luo appeared on the camera, there was another huge booing from the sky above Camp Nou, trying to disturb Ai Luo’s mood, but Ai Luo seemed not to hear it at all.

As players from both sides stepped into the player tunnel, the boos at the Camp Nou slowly diminished until they were gone.

The two sides drew 1:1 in the first half, so the second adjustment of the 15-minute intermission is extremely important.

Guardiola first praised the team for the high score equalization at the end of the first half, but at the same time he also pointed out the shortcomings of the team, that is to say, Mascherano and Busquets did not restrict Aiello enough, allowing him too many opportunities to control the ball, which caused the first goal.

After some encouragement and criticism, the latest tactical deployment was carried out.

Visiting team locker room.

Ancelotti is worthy of the title of good old man, coupled with the superstar Aiello in the locker room, the players are still full of confidence in winning the second half.

In fact, the gap between Valencia and Barcelona is not much, and Guardiola is afraid of the existence of Aiello, and rarely puts up a combination of double midfielders in the midfield, which also indirectly reduces Barcelona's attack power. If the midfielder loses a midfielder and adds an offensive midfielder, then the course of the game will definitely be different.

Regarding the team's game strategy in the second half, Ancelotti asked to follow the rules. Deep down in his heart, he still felt that scoring a point at the Nou Camp was acceptable.

At the same time, the commentators in the on-site commentary booth analyzed the game in the first half of the game.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said straightly: "Barcelona gradually returned to normal in the second half of the first half. They used their strong control to control the situation. At the same time, they also strengthened the high-position press while switching from offense to defense. As a result, it was difficult for Valencia to organize an effective offense during the transition from defense to offense. I believe Guardiola will definitely emphasize the team's offensive efficiency and high-position press during the intermission."

"That's right, the actual gap between Barcelona and Valencia is not that big. We can only increase the chances of scoring in a more active way. Coupled with the personal abilities of Iniesta and Messi, it is not difficult to score goals in the second half. Don't forget... Barcelona still has the brain of Xavi. As long as the Valencian is a little distracted, he will send a deadly pass!"

Martin Taylor said.

"... yes, so the tactical change in the second half was especially important for Valencia."

　Adjusted for the outbreak of the National Day, today is the last three shifts of this month.
