91 Victory Comes As Promised

Everyone went back to the locker room to rest. Leo and Franrick walked behind, discussing the first half of the game in a low voice.Messi passed by them, and the two looked at each other. In the first half, the king of the Nou Camp was mediocre, and the number of times he took the ball was pitiful, let alone how amazing he was.This is not the level of competition that the King of Coal Balls should have. Is he in a bad state today or is he deliberately retaining his strength?

Because Granada temporarily took the lead in the first half, the anger in the locker room was quite relaxed.Paco did not change his style of advocating defense, and repeatedly told the goalkeeper and the defenders to be careful and careful.As for Leo, he was more tolerant, so that he didn't have to keep an eye on Messi, because the opponent didn't seem to be a threat from the first half.Paco wants Leo to narrow his range of activities in the midfield and save his energy for counterattack.

Leo nodded, and didn't express any opinion on the head coach's suggestion.But he always felt that things were not that simple.This is not like Messi's style at all. There is no injury, and the state of the last few games has been very good. Why is the sense of presence in the first half so low.

He also recalled the few times Messi touched the ball in the frontcourt, and it seemed that he passed it to Suarez intentionally or unintentionally.Leo suddenly realized that the king of the ball was trying to let his teammates brush up the statistics in an attempt to make Suarez surpass Ronaldo in the scorer list.It's really difficult for him to work hard, but Su Ya's data has not been completed, but now Barcelona is behind in the score.

Franrick leaned close to Leo's ear and whispered: "I think we should keep a close eye on Messi in the second half. In the first half, he didn't play a big role. Maybe it has something to do with our close marking. You restricted him. .”

What he said made sense, but Leo was also a little embarrassed: "I don't want to waste too much energy on defense. In order to win the championship, Barcelona will attack wildly in the second half. We will be very difficult."

Franrick hooked his shoulder: "Don't worry, don't worry, leave the defense to us, you just need to be responsible for scoring goals."

Leo bumped him with his shoulder: "Thank you"

Paco was still talking in front of the tactical board to emphasize his defense, and Leo just listened casually while wrapping a bandage around his wrist.Barcelona must win this game for the league title.But for Leo, this may be his farewell battle in Granada, and there is no reason to disappoint the [-] spectators who came to support him.He has too many reasons to win this game, for his father, for the father and son in the stands, for the brothers of the team, for the Granada fans who have supported him for a year, and for Gonzalez who has left , and for himself

He has never been more eager to win a game than he is today, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong the opponent is.He can do it, in fact he did.We have always said that Leo is a child who is good at learning. What Ronaldo taught him is not just how to try to fall in love with a person of the same sex, but perseverance, responsibility and never give up.

The father and son in the stands took advantage of the intermission to take various selfies. Ronaldo looked very leisurely and at ease. When he felt that the camera lens was aimed at them, a random smile was enough to captivate millions of fans.

However, Mini Luo looked worried, tilted his head and asked his father: "Will Leo brother win or Messi will win?"

The media rumored that Mini Luo is a fan of Messi. Messi also said in public that Mini Luo is too cute, and he is also his fan.The little guy thought about it in a difficult way, and said, "I still hope that Brother Leo can win."

"Why don't you like Uncle Messi very much?"

The cutie raised her face and said with a smile, "Because Dad likes Brother Leo."

The president picked up his son and kissed him on the cheek: "Brother Leo will definitely win, you have to believe in him together with Dad."

Everything was as Leo expected, the second half started tightly 2 minutes later, Mathieu stole the ball from Arabi and passed it to Busquets.Barcelona turned from defense to offense, and the ball came to Messi on the right after passing smoothly among the Barcelona players.Kerxin stepped forward to intercept, but was passed by the opponent with a feint.Perez tried to tackle the ball from behind, but Messi had already dribbled the ball to the middle. Costa and Miguel Perez stepped forward at the same time to try to block his path, but the skillful dribbling at the feet of the coal ball king Almost every player who claims to be a master of dribbling is eclipsed in front of him.The control of the left foot is like the sharpest knife, and the breakthrough is only a matter of a moment. The two defenders in Granada didn't even have time to react. Messi had already sent the ball into the gate guarded by Andrew.

"goooooooooooooal came from Leo Messi's one-handed attack on the right. After cutting inside, he passed the opponent's two defenders and shot directly. This is Messi's first touch after the opening. It was a different story. In just two minutes of the second half, Barcelona relied on Messi's goal to tie the score and it is now 2-2."

Stoichkov said triumphantly: "This is Barcelona, ​​this is Messi. The pass of the ball from the backcourt was very steady, although Messi almost relied on his own personal ability to pass the ball in the midfield. The opponent's entire defense, but it is not difficult to see that the running positions of Suarez and Neymar also opened up a certain gap for him. Barcelona's tactical system has never relied on the individual ability of a certain player to win."

"Now the two teams have scored 2 goals each. The second half has just begun, and the game has returned to the starting point. This season's final battle of La Liga is related to the future destiny of many clubs. Everyone is paying attention to the final result of this game. It turned out, and both teams lived up to expectations and gave us a great game."

For that goal just now, Leo desperately chased back, but there was still nothing he could do.He can see very clearly in front of the penalty area. Messi's dribbling is simply against the sky. The absolute control of the ball, the amazing foot frequency and body balance ability, the vast vision and the amazing explosive power of 170 make him Fast and flexible.In the process of dribbling the ball, the distance between the person and the ball is constantly fine-tuned. Every time the ball is passed, it seems to be digging a trap for the defender, just to make the defender who thinks that the prediction is successful make the most stupid judgment.His control of muscles is also quite comfortable, and every fake move is just right.

Mathieu's defense is much more reliable than Mascherano's. Leo already knew his speed in a short-distance sprint speed test in Clairefontaine.Facing Mathieu's defense for a while, he didn't even have any good solutions.Only Alves and Pique can choose to defend the right.

Pique's defense is really not very good, and he likes to go forward, often relying on Busquets to make up for him.When Leo faced him, he felt that he was possessed by the media, with all kinds of crotch wearing or Marseille maneuvers. Pique could only want to stick firmly on the ground like a stake, watching the 20-year-old The young boy was doing flower work in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it.It was hard for him to believe that a tall 185c body could be so flexible and fast.

That is necessary, although Leo praised the King of Coal Balls to the sky in his heart.But in terms of quick response and explosive speed, he really isn't targeting anyone.What Messi is superior to him is only so many years of proficiency in the sport of football and the precipitation of experience.Compared with innate conditions and control of the body, Leo admits that Messi is better than most players, but this does not include himself.

Pique is not a very good-tempered person on the court, and he is not much worse than Shui Ye and Pepe when he goes crazy.Leo dribbled the ball around him, just as easily as he usually trains to dribble around the pole.The young master lost his mind, turned around and grabbed Leo, but he didn't notice that there was a restricted area behind him.In fact, Leo didn't want to cooperate with him, but he pulled it too hard, and Leo lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.

The referee was standing next to him, and he could see everything clearly. Pique deliberately fouled in the penalty area, not only received a yellow card, but also gave Granada a penalty.It was useless for the Barcelona players to argue around the referee for a long time, and even got a yellow card for the entangled Alba.

Leo stood up, rubbed his slightly bruised wrist when he was on the floor, and without even discussing with any teammates, he lowered his head and walked towards the 12 yards with the ball under the complicated eyes of a bunch of Barcelona players.Whistling, run-up, and shooting all in one go, Ter Stegen didn't even judge the direction accurately, and the ball flew into the net.

A sudden penalty kick changed the situation on the field again. In the 67th minute of the game, Granada once again led Barcelona 3-2.

Mr. Mendoza shouted Leo's name excitedly in the studio: "He is about to make history, no, he is already the best player in the history of Granada. Today's game is really good. It was ups and downs, with more than 20 minutes left in the game, Barcelona still had a chance to equalize."

Stoichkov is quite dissatisfied with Barcelona's defense: "Two of the three goals came from the mistakes of the defenders. Except for the No. 3 kid who is a bit interesting, I don't see Granada. What a strength. Enrique used Mathieu to replace Javier Mascherano, who made frequent mistakes, and now he can replace Pique, who is getting less and less calm. But it doesn't matter, our offensive end has May With Suarez and Neymar, I am sure the goals will not stop."

He was right, 10 minutes later Iniesta made a wonderful pass through Granada's entire defense. Messi could have chosen to shoot directly after receiving the ball, but gave the cake to the inside facing the empty goal. Marr, who wasted no chance, scored with a push.

"Goal Neymar's goal, the score was 3 to 3 on the field. Barcelona played very tenaciously today and tied the score after falling behind twice. It seems that their desire for the championship is very strong. Granada also played well in the second half of the game Very exciting. According to official statistics, Barcelona's possession of the ball has dropped from 2%70.00 in the first half to 50.00%[-], which shows that Granada's tactical transformation is very successful. Freed from the middle, play a bigger role in the frontcourt."

Obviously it was Barcelona's goal, but the commentator praised Granada. Stoichkov couldn't stand it anymore, and interjected: "Messi is a talented player who can change the outcome. He can always rely on a strong team. Willpower led the team to victory, we must believe in him, and today we can win the league title for Barcelona."

Barcelona can't win the championship in a draw, they must win to surpass Real Madrid in the standings.So in the next ten minutes or so of the game, they gave up their proud tikitaka tactical system, and played a fast break against a small club like Granada that they had never paid attention to.Through the simple transition of the midfield, the ball is quickly sent to the frontcourt, relying on the personal ability of the n combination to create opportunities in front of the goal.

However, their three midfielders Iniesta, Rakitic and Busquets are not players who are good at speed. Such a fast break does not have much threat in essence.Enrique once again suffered a big loss from Leo, so he had no choice but to use a close-to-mark method again to let Busquets keep an eye on him. When it is time to foul, he must not be soft-handed. attack destroyed.

The players on both sides restrained each other, and their physical strength was severely reduced. Although the number of shots and corner kicks increased significantly in the last ten minutes of the game, they could not be converted into shots.

The expression of the president in the stands was not as relaxed as before. Although Real Madrid could win the championship in a draw, Granada could not securely qualify for the Europa League.This championship was won for him by the little fans, and he naturally hopes that Leo can work harder to realize his wish.

The game entered the stoppage time period, and Leo once again took the ball from the midfield to advance.Although his physical strength has dropped significantly, his running speed is still incredible.Busquets kept Enrique's instructions in mind, he didn't care where he was, anyway, he didn't enter the penalty area, and he put the person down from behind without thinking about it.

The position of the ball is just outside the penalty area line, very close to the goal.Taking free kicks in this place is quite embarrassing. Direct free kicks are not easy to go over the wall, and indirect free kicks are difficult to control.

Leo discussed with his teammates for a long time, and finally stood on the penalty spot.He pursed his lips tightly, with a rare serious expression on his face.This is the last chance, no matter how difficult it is, he must seize it.The game time is running out, Barcelona has lined up the wall, and the referee blows his whistle.Leo took a deep breath, ran up, kicked up, and rubbed the ball with the inner instep.

At the moment, everyone's attention was on the flying ball in the air, but the ball seemed not high enough, and it was about to hit the wall, but it happened to hit Busquets' shoulder at the moment he took off .The next moment the ball changed direction due to refraction and flew to the left goal.It is impossible for the little lion king who has made a judgment and jumped to his left to change direction. Pique, who is trying to chase back, can only rush into the net with the ball because of inertia.

In the end, Granada struggled to win the focus battle 4-3 at home.

The moment the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Kamenes Stadium turned into a sea of ​​red and white.All the fans who came to the scene knew that this game might be Leo's last game representing Granada. They held up the No. 5 jersey and shouted his name loudly.

Leo was surrounded by his teammates and celebrated wildly.He was their hero, and all the teammates and staff on the bench rushed into the field.They made history, taking their team to Europe for the first time, a moment Granada will always remember.

Leo and his teammates came to the sidelines to greet the audience. When facing a certain stand, he suddenly thought of putting his hands on his left chest and made a heartfelt gesture. Then he dedicated it to all the fans and winked mischievously. In the blink of an eye, the fans in the stands screamed one after another.

It is self-evident who should give this "heart" first besides the fans.In the red and white waves on this side of the stand, the broadcast camera just captured the backs of one big and one small in a certain box turning around and leaving the field.And the direction facing this position is where Leo was standing on the court. This very topical scene just provided some media and fans with gossip material.
