Chapter 216 Too Underestimated Barcelona
Chapter 63 Underestimating Barcelona

After the storm at the opening stage of the game, the rhythm of the game calmed down during this period, just like the calm after the storm.

The advantage of Barcelona Fabregas playing in the nine position is that their control in the midfield has been unprecedentedly strengthened, because Fabregas is not a nine player, he prefers to participate in the midfield Inverted pass.

Barcelona pass very easily on the perimeter of Atletico Madrid, but as long as they have a tendency to pass the ball forward, they will immediately be destroyed by Atletico Madrid's tough defense.

Due to the scenes of the game during this period of time, the fans watching the game were a little drowsy, especially for fans in China who need to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to watch the game, Barcelona passed slowly in the midfield. The ball made many people sleepy.

So much so that the on-site director frequently switched to the shots in the stands.

"Except for the first 8 minutes of the game, the best scene of this game so far appeared in the stands, those beautiful Atletico Madrid fans." Some commentators joked like this.

In the No.18 minute of the game, Harvey found Fabregas with a forward pass.

Miranda posted it routinely, and he didn't think Barcelona's forward pass would be any different this time.Sure enough, he saw Fabregas was about to pass back.

This is the best for Atletico Madrid. As long as the opponent does not pass the ball into the penalty area, even if Barcelona passes the ball in the midfield, Atletico Madrid will still advance.

So Miranda was not surprised when she saw that Fabregas was about to pass back, and she was even a little happy.If this game can be won easily like this, don't consume too much physical energy of Atletico Madrid, which is naturally a good thing for Atletico Madrid, whose lineup is not deep enough.

But Miranda was taken aback by Cesc Fabregas' next moves. He made a gesture to pass back, but at the moment Miranda relaxed, he knocked the ball back with his left foot and supported his body with his right foot. Turn around and take the ball directly in the direction of Atletico Madrid's goal.

Although Fabregas is a "false center forward", he is also the player closest to Atletico Madrid's goal in Barcelona's current team. Let the opponent's center forward take the ball and turn around to face the goal. This is Miranda's defensive error.

Naturally, Simeone would not allow this to happen. He roared loudly on the sidelines to make Atletico Madrid's players concentrate!
There are many possibilities for Cesc Fabregas who has completed his turn. He can distribute the ball to the left and right, or he can drive the ball forward by himself, or shoot directly from this position.

Miranda didn't dare to pounce on him now, the two were facing each other now, and Courtois was behind Miranda, so he didn't dare to rush up at will.

Gaby and Cork defended from both sides, ready to flank Fabregas.

Before they arrived, Cesc Fabregas deftly got out of the way and shot directly!
For Cesc Fabregas, he is the most advanced Barcelona player. If he splits the side, Barcelona has tried many crosses, and none of them can pose a threat. It is better to make a turn by yourself.

So after turning around, he dribbled the ball to the outside of the penalty area, and shot directly!

The football flew towards the goal like a shooting star, shooting with force!
Courtois pounced sideways, flicked the ball with his fingertips, and the football went out of the baseline from the near post!

"oh………."

There was a sound of gasping for air.

Especially when the ball bounced off the billboard behind the goal and hit the net behind the goal, many fans in the stands far away even thought the goal had been scored!
"Dangerous!!!!" Duan Xuan didn't care about the position of neutral commentary at all now, "It's a good thing that Courtois was in front of Atletico Madrid's goal, and it's really one man who guards the gate!"

No.201 minutes, Barcelona launched another attack.Iniesta passed the ball to the left. Neymar continued to shake in disguise after receiving the ball. In the end, there was no way to pass Juanfran, but he was still shaken out of the passing space.Neymar made an inverted triangle pass with his left foot to the rear diagonally.The football was passed close to the ground and near the arc of Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Iniesta's running position is quite flexible. Iniesta, who was still cooperating with Neymar on the left just now, has now received the ball on this line.

Iniesta stopped the ball and shot straight away.

His shot is very flattering and very sudden.Atletico Madrid's defensive players thought Iniesta was going to widen the angle, but whoever thought he would shoot directly.

This is a kick shot, the football bypassed the defender in the air, and the curve ball circled to the back point!
Courtois stretches his long arms and takes the ball into his arms!
This is already the second very threatening attack by Barcelona in just a few minutes.

Simeone stood on the sidelines with a dignified expression. He realized that he had made a mistake. He underestimated Barcelona's offensive ability too much. Although Atletico Madrid's opening blitz achieved very good results, the overall recovery after that was a defensive counterattack. The thinking is also correct, but Atletico Madrid retreated too far, completely giving up the midfielder.

And in this way, the rhythm of the game fell into Barcelona's favorite rhythm. They used non-stop passes in the midfield to confuse Atletico Madrid's defense. Change the tempo.

The change in rhythm made Atletico Madrid's defense a little unable to keep up, just like it is now.

And Barcelona has been playing this set for a long time, and so is what their players are most familiar with and best at!
Just when Simeone was brewing a change, Barcelona's offense came again.

The continuous attack gradually restored the confidence of Barcelona, ​​who fell behind by two goals in the beginning.

No. In 205 minutes, Neymar dribbled the ball inside and Juanfran quickly followed up. He was just about to block Neymar's shot, but he found Neymar fell to the ground with a cry.Before Juanfran could react, the referee Webber's whistle had already sounded-Juanfran fouled.

Only from the replay given on the big screen at the scene can we know what happened just now-Juanfran’s swinging arm touched Neymar while running, and then Neymar fell to the ground like an electric shock and rolled continuously.

Then the camera was given to the referee Weber.

"The foul was judged too reluctantly. Juanfran's movement was just to touch Neymar's jersey lightly..." Duan Xuan said hesitantly.

But Neymar still won a free kick for Barcelona on the left side of the big box line.

This position is very suitable for right-footed players to take the penalty, so Messi, who has not appeared in the camera for a long time, did not come.Neymar put the ball in place, and after taking a few steps back, he watched the entanglement between the two sides near the human wall-in fact, if Weber hadn't asked him to listen to the whistle, he would have wanted to take advantage of the moment.

Finally, the human wall stood still under the interference of the referee, but when Weber just turned around, the Atletico Madrid players who lined up the human wall moved forward quietly.

This is a very dangerous position, and it's no wonder that Atletico Madrid's players are on the verge of a formidable enemy.

Webb, who walked out of the penalty area, blew his whistle, indicating that a free kick can be sent.

Neymar started to shoot, with an arc on the inside of his foot.

The Atletico Madrid players who formed the human wall jumped high, and Courtois was also ready to seal the near corner position at this time.

However, the football hit Gabi's head and changed direction. By the time Courtois saw the football, it was already too late...
"Neymar..."

Accompanied by the roar of the commentator, Neymar's free kick hit Gabi's head and changed direction, flying into the goal from the other side.
