5 What is it like to beat Barcelona in the Nou Camp Stadium

Barcelona's coach Enrique was standing on the sidelines with a face of embarrassment at this time. He was probably a bit confused by the media and fans before the game. I really think Granada is a soft persimmon, and let Barcelona's substitute lineup casually pinch .Coupled with the absolute advantage in the first six 10 minutes, the score was 2-0.He wants to use the frequent substitutions against the underdogs to give young players more opportunities to grow up quickly, so as to alleviate the shortage of personnel in the camp full of wounded soldiers in recent days, and at the same time, he wants to rely on their hard work to take advantage of the score expand.

In fact, there is another reason why Enrique used a large number of young players in the midfield today.That is, there are serious injuries in the team. Messi was injured in the last game against Las Palmas. According to the post-match inspection, he needs to rest for at least a week.And just next week they will usher in the challenge of the German powerhouse Leverkusen in the Champions League. He must let Iniesta, Busquets and several other main players who have played frequently and are exhausted get a full rest in order to prepare for the match. Down to the Champions League.

Who knows that Gonzalez, who is as old and cunning as him, has seen through all this a long time ago. With less than 20 minutes left in the game, when he had already used up two substitutions, he actually sent out Zidane, who was widely criticized by the outside world. , the son who was almost 20 years old and still playing in an amateur team, slapped Barcelona hard in the face 38 seconds into the game.

On the contrary, this little Zidane, who played in the Real Madrid youth team since he was a child, was reported by the media from time to time, and no one had ever said a good word to him.The latest news is that apart from relying on his father to become the captain of the Real Madrid b team, he volunteered to join the French youth team training in the first half of the year, and was beaten in the face by the head coach of the youth team, saying that he had never seen this young man play football. Later, the assistant coach reminded him that he was Qi Zu's son, and he said embarrassingly that he hadn't seen him play football. There is nothing wrong with him. The youth team just wants to give young people more opportunities to explore their potential and provide talents for the national team.

It's just that the second-generation star, who can't get anywhere, actually used a game without any skills, no fake moves, no cycling, and no fancy dribbling. It was just the most basic and simple entry-level pass in the textbook. The action suddenly accelerated and passed Mascherano

That's Mascherano, who moved from Liverpool to Barcelona for 2200 million euros and was shortlisted for last year's Ballon d'Or.Although not every game starts in Barcelona's talented midfield, his strength should not be underestimated.He is known as the hub of Argentina's offensive and defensive transition, and is the pinnacle of the Argentine team.Today at my home court, I was surprised by a fledgling half-child who used an unpretentious sudden acceleration to get rid of the defense

Simply unbelievable.

Enrique's eyes lingered intentionally or unintentionally on the youth surrounded by the crowd, with neat short brown hair and a delicate and immature face.The Marseille gyrations that amazed the audience, perfectly got rid of the defense, shot from a tricky angle, and it took only 5 minutes to score. It was this young man named Fernandez who gave Barcelona another unexpected surprise by dribbling the ball into the penalty area. Facing the goalkeeper head-on, he was able to deceive Ter Stegen with a smooth fake move at the moment the goalkeeper attacked, and sent the ball into the empty goal with a graceful tiptoe

It is not surprising that such a player comes from the Real Madrid youth team. What is strange is that Real Madrid did not recruit him into the first team, and even let him go to Granada. I don’t understand the new coach Benitez who just took office What exactly do you think.But thinking about it now, Zidane gave his son the captain's armband when he recruited his son into the b team. It was indeed a wise decision, not nepotism.

Enrique made up his mind, walked to the sidelines calmly and calmly, gestured Mathieu to come over, and told him to focus all his attention on Fernandez. How can you not let him run with the ball, even if it is a tactical foul, stop him.

Enrique felt faintly in his heart that the score of 2 to 2 was by no means the end. The game was not over, and the score would not stay here. There were still 10 minutes, and everything could happen.Barcelona has a lot of opportunities, and Granada's defensive counterattack now seems to be very successful.

In the eyes of Barcelona fans, these short minutes seemed to fall from the clouds to the abyss, and there was only surprise, not joy.If Leo's first goal was really brilliant, they were also amazed by it.Then the second goal that changed the situation on the field made them unacceptable.

The agreed Barcelona substitute lineup took three points at home. Why did Granada just replace a player who used to play in Real Madrid c team, and scored two goals in a few minutes? Is it really Zidane's possession? How is it possible, that kid obviously looks childish, and the movement of dribbling the ball is as simple as that of a middle school student. How did he do it?

Leo was still celebrating like an arhat on the ground by his teammates. The home fans were very dissatisfied with this, booing and questioning that the visiting team was delaying time.Feeling the pressure from the stands, the referee ran to the Granada players and after a few words, signaled them to return to their positions and the game continued.

The Barça player quickly re-opened the ball, with a long pass looking for Neymar up front.Neymar received the ball from the left and chose to dribble by himself. Granada immediately double-teamed three players to intercept. In one's own half, fill in the vacancy left by teammates' support.

Neymar has excellent personal skills and excellent dribbling ability, and even under the pressure of three people, he can firmly control the ball at his feet.The position of several people was close to the bottom line. Just when Neymar made a bottom pass, the ball bounced on the defender and flew out of the bottom line.

The commentator still maintains a focus on Barcelona's commentary style: "Barcelona got a corner kick and Rakitic took the penalty. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air and landed precisely in Granada's penalty area. This ball The goal was well placed, both players were vying for the header, and it was No. 17 Munir, who headed the goal and the ball was high again. It was a pity that the goalkeeper of Granada had fallen to the ground, and Munir Er jumped very high, he grabbed the header, but failed to seize the opportunity. It seems that the young player was a little too excited today and wasted several excellent opportunities."

When the commentator was still sighing that Barcelona's corner kick failed to be converted into a goal, Granada quickly launched a counterattack.Fernandez was closely guarded by two excellent defenders, Mathieu and Alba, and he couldn't take advantage of his speed at all.As long as he has the ball, the opponent will definitely step forward to fight for it. He speeds up with the ball, and the two immediately resort to tactical fouls to keep the ball in place, delaying Granada's attack and allowing enough time for their own players to quickly return to defense.

Leo's activities were restricted, which put him in an embarrassing situation on the field. He couldn't take advantage of his speed in offense, and defense was not his strong point. He could only run to meet his teammates under the command of Gonzalez.

At this time, Enrique, who was standing on the sidelines, made a bold substitution decision. He replaced Munir, who had missed many opportunities in this game, with the main striker Suarez who did not start.Attempt to use Suarez's super ability to capture opportunities in the penalty area to save the victory.

As soon as the top striker with the reputation of the penalty area terminator came on the field, the pressure on Granada's already stretched defense doubled.In the next ten or so minutes of the game, almost all ten players except the goalkeeper were on top of Barcelona, ​​bombing the goal indiscriminately in Granada's half.However, whether it is a header or a strong shot, the ball always misses the goal frame or is captured by goalkeeper Oyer.

Fernandez is not good at defense, and he himself was closely guarded by Mathieu and Alma, so he could only fill in for the teammates who went to support under the command of the coach. Drive straight up the field and look for striker Petey.

Barcelona's offense became more and more fierce. In just 10 minutes, there were as many as 7 shots, 3 of which were within the goal frame. It was airtight, and several defenders tried their best to guard against it. Even if they knew they would be injured, they rushed forward to steal without hesitation.

Barcelona's stars are worth one game at a time, and any one of them is worth tens of millions of euros.This is just an ordinary league game, there is no need to risk injury to compete with the opponent, after all, there is a more important UEFA Champions League waiting for them.

Moreover, Barcelona has always been known as "beautiful football", advocating skills and tactics, control, and delivery, but always lacks strength, speed, and passion.

So when encountering Granada's desperate style of play, although Barcelona had the upper hand in the situation, they still had no way to completely defeat the opponent's defense.Luck is one aspect, and the competition of will also plays an important role.

The game was in full swing, and even the football commentator, who had been in a state of excitement all night, changed his tone because of tension: "The game has gone on to 88 minutes in the second half, and the score is still 2-2. Barcelona shot 43 times in the whole game. , Possessing the ball more than 70.00% of the time. Suarez took the ball in the front court, and then passed the ball to Sandro who was outflanking the right, and it was Granada's No. 5 Fernandez. His defense was very timely. Dero kicked the ball and destroyed the ball out of the sideline. This young player is obviously inexperienced. This ball is not good for Sandro to stop the ball. If it is another good defender, there will be a better way to deal with it. Instead of simply giving the opponent a frontcourt throw-in."

For defense, Leo's thinking is so simple and rude. Since he can't do a more ideal way of handling it yet, it is obviously safer to kick the ball out of the sideline decisively than to stalemate with the opponent.

At this time, the game has been played for 90 minutes, and the fourth official raised a sign on the sidelines to announce that there are 2 minutes of extra time for this game.Both home and away fans stood up in the stands, staring intently at every change on the pitch.

"Sandro raised the ball as quickly as possible and threw it towards Suarez, who quickly passed the ball to Rakitic who came in from the back, and the ball reached Neymar after several passes. At his feet, he easily passed a Granada defender, took the ball to the front of the penalty area, kicked the shot, and the ball hit another defender. Granada launched a counterattack, which should be their last The opportunity to counterattack, the ball reached Barcelona's half, at the feet of Fernandez, this time he did not stop, and the moment he took the ball, he immediately accelerated. Outside the penalty area. Mathieu had no choice, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Fernandez's arm. The stupefied young boy didn't fall to the ground immediately, but raised his hand to signal the referee, but the referee stood beside him and put the You can see everything that happened.”

The commentator continued regretfully: "The referee gave Mathieu a yellow card without hesitation, and Granada got an excellent free kick on the right side of the penalty area. Pitty, Fernandez and captain Harvey Marx stood At the penalty spot, after a brief discussion, Fernandez and Pitty walked towards the penalty area. The ball was taken by Max. He did not choose to shoot directly, but drove the ball to the back point. Fernandez headed from a small angle. Goal, the ball went in"

The entire Camp Nou seemed to be quiet for a moment, and this ups and downs night can be said to be a nightmare for the home fans.At the last second of the game, Fernandez turned the tide and scored a hat-trick, saving Granada from danger by himself.

The commentator in the live broadcast room was completely dumbfounded: "This is incredible. How did he do it? Mathieu was marking him all the time, but he was half a body taller than the defender at the moment of take-off."

At this time, the Barcelona players kicked the ball at the midpoint, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Granada counterattacked Barcelona 3-2 away.

Fernandez was still standing in front of the away fans' stands. This time he didn't restrain his emotions deliberately, but shook his fist vigorously and grinned like a child who got candy.
