Chapter 64 Don't change Messi for Xiaofa
"The suspense of the game is back now, Neymar scored from a free kick, the score was tied [-]-[-], and the total score became [-]-[-], so that as long as Barcelona score another goal in the next game If we equalize the total score, we can eliminate Atletico Madrid and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League with the advantage of more away goals!" Duan Xuan said with some concern, "Now it's up to Simeone to make adjustments."

Simeone certainly understands where his mistake is. Atletico Madrid gave up the defense in the midfield and retreated in an all-round way, giving Barcelona the space to calmly control the ball in the midfield. This is not the rhythm of the game that Atletico Madrid likes.

So Simeone waved his hand, signaling Atletico Madrid's players to press on, and began to press Barcelona in midfield!

It's just that Neymar's goal greatly boosted Barcelona's morale, so in the next game, Barcelona's offense became more active.

After all, they only need one goal now, and the promoted team will become Barcelona!
But Atletico Madrid is not easy to mess with. After realizing their strategic mistakes, Atletico Madrid returned to their accustomed way of playing.

In midfield, they fight for every inch of ground!

Alves got the ball in the backcourt and was about to dribble forward, but was knocked to the ground by Li Qingshan who rushed over.Even the team's center forward has devoted himself to defense in this way, one can imagine the hardness of Atletico Madrid's defense!
Alves, who was knocked over, was about to reply with a few greetings, but when he saw that the person who bumped him was Li Qingshan, he quickly shut his mouth.In the last bout between the two teams, Alves had a deep impression on Li Qingshan, and he didn't want to provoke Li Qingshan, a stunned young man.

So he got up and pressed the ball to the ground, and quickly sent a free kick.

Busquets was ready to receive the ball in the backcourt, but before the ball arrived, he felt the pressure behind him.Adrian stepped up, and before Busquets received the ball, he stepped forward and was about to break the ball from in front of him. The feet of both sides became entangled and both fell to the ground.

The referee Webb called Adrian for a foul.

Both sides were very dissatisfied with the referee's decision.On Atletico Madrid's side, Simeone believed that Adrian was just defending around the front.And Martino believes that Atletico Madrid fouled frequently during this period, and the referee should take out a yellow card to warn him.

For a while, the fourth official on the sidelines became the most powerful person, and the two Argentines argued in his ears without showing any weakness.

In the No.40 minute of the game, Li Qingshan took a long pass from the backcourt and then passed it to Raul Garcia who was in the front. Raul Garcia who was inserted into the penalty area was tripped to the ground by Mascherano.

"Penalty!!!!!!!!!"

Atlético de Madrid fans roared in unison, but the referee Webber spread his hands out, indicating that this was not a foul, and then he waved his hands to get Raul Garcia up from the ground.

Simeone's angry protest on the sidelines was of no avail, and referee Weber decided that it was not a penalty.

But the replay that followed clearly showed that Mascherano didn't touch the football when he stretched out his foot, but directly tripped Raul Garcia, who was advancing at high speed!

Calderon suddenly remembered the huge boos.

"Atlético had a chance to fight back in the No. 40 minute, but in the end Mascherano fouled Raul Garcia in the penalty area, and the referee turned a blind eye! Barcelona escaped and the score is still [-]-[-] , Atletico Madrid took the lead. Barcelona continued to attack and try to equalize the score."

In the next few minutes, both sides failed to create any chances, and the score of [-]-[-] was maintained until the end of the first half.

When the referee Webber blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the scene once again remembered the huge boos. There is no doubt that the boos of Atletico Madrid fans were given to the famous England whistle.If he could see clearly that time, Atletico Madrid might have a [-]-[-] lead now, with a total score of [-]-[-]!
Nowhere is it like now, the opponent only needs one goal to come back.

"At the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid led Barcelona [-]-[-] at home. Overall, Atletico Madrid's attacking in the opening stage was very successful, if it weren't for their bad luck, they might have turned the game over by now. The suspense was killed. But Barcelona gradually took control of the situation on the field in the middle and late stages of the game, and Neymar scored a goal through a free kick. This goal is very important for Barcelona, ​​which means They are only one goal away from qualifying. But the referee's penalty in the final stage of the first half also helped Barcelona objectively-if the referee awarded a penalty kick, it would be difficult for Barcelona to score two goals in the second half. It's just too high."

Duan Xuan said with some regret.

In Barcelona's dressing room, Martino is encouraging his team. The two goals conceded in the first half did make Barcelona a little flustered, but it's not the end of the world, especially in the first half. With a goal scored, the current situation is not too bad for Barcelona.

But now the focus is not to discuss the gains and losses in the first half, but to let the players focus on the second half. How to equalize the score in the second half is the most important thing.

Martino glanced at Fabregas, then said to Sanchez: "Allais, in the second half I need your breakthrough on the wing, I will put you on."

Sanchez nodded. He is no longer the kind of young man who is excited when he hears that he has a chance to play. In fact, before this season, he was still the absolute main force of Barcelona. He formed a team with Messi and Pedro. The trident in the frontcourt is the main contributor to Barcelona's six-time champion.

But because of the addition of Neymar this season, he squeezed out his position, so for the Chilean striker, if he doesn't want to continue to play as a substitute in Barcelona, ​​he must find a good club for himself next season.

It is impossible to say that he has no complaints against Martino who put him on the bench. In fact, the relationship between him and Martino is also very cold, but he is a professional player and when he has the opportunity to play Go all out, of course.

Fabregas' eyes dimmed when he heard Martino's words.Not surprisingly, Martino must have chosen to replace himself.

If it is purely from the performance of this game, Fabregas can definitely not be regarded as a player with poor frontcourt performance in Barcelona. Barcelona created quite a few offensive threats.

The worst Barcelona player in the first half of the game was definitely Messi, who didn't have many photo opportunities.Messi loves to eat Argentine barbecue. This is well-known in the world. During the Guardiola era, Guardiola strictly restricted the number of times Messi ate barbecue. After leaving Barcelona, ​​Messi began to have no scruples without strong restraint. I ate the barbecue.....
Guardiola set strict dietary standards for Messi, such as eating more fish and less beef, which made Messi's body stronger and less prone to injuries.When Vilanova was coaching, Messi also complied with such norms. After the arrival of Martino, Messi thought it was a good time for him to get rid of the shackles. Put it aside.

Now, Macy hardly touches fish, which he doesn't like much, and he enjoys the taste of beef again, and he loves grilling.And all this with the permission of his Argentine compatriot Martino.But this season, muscle injuries have re-affected Messi's efficiency on the court.

Uncontrolled eating has led to a decline in Messi's physical function. This season, Messi has been injured frequently, and he is not as diligent in running on the court as before.

But Messi's performance in this game was even worse. Messi ran very little on the field. After Atletico Madrid cut off the connection between him and the midfielder, Messi became a walker. Almost never saw Messi in the game.

But Martino didn't dare to replace Messi who was walking on the field. He chose to replace Fabregas, who performed well, which naturally made Fabregas full of resentment.

This waif from La Masia, who just returned to Barcelona, ​​is now thinking of leaving Barcelona to go out and make a living...
