Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior
Chapter 171 Messi’s superstar performance (page 12)
Wolfsburg receives a direct free kick from the backcourt.
Under the pressure of continuously defending Barcelona's offense, he did not rush to kick off, but stabilized the rhythm.
After being urged by referee Maziniak, Knoch slowly kicked the ball to Martin, who suddenly retreated to receive the ball.
As the core of Wolfsburg's current midfield, Martin has absolute control over football.
Suarez and Neymar, who retreated to the center circle, pounced on each other in unison, thinking that even if they couldn't intercept the ball, they would still prevent Martin from organizing the attack.
Neymar wanted to steal the ball and counterattack, avenging his past humiliation.
When passing the ball in this position, Martin did not take risks. He passed the ball directly to the right center back Nardo without stopping, and then slowly ran back and came to the middle of the two center backs, becoming the team's third center back.
Suarez and Neymar had to be separated.
One is going to mark Nardo who is catching the ball, and the other is going to mark Martin who is catching the ball.
Naldo paused holding the ball, and then handed the ball to Martin.
Facing Suarez coming from the left front, Martin directly used the arch of his right foot to push the football to the right front, staggered with Suarez in a 'V' shape, and stopped and passed.
Barcelona's midfield line is relatively far away, and there is no sense of hierarchy, so there is no rush.
Martin, who controlled the rhythm of the game, was calm and dribbled the ball past the center line before encountering Iniesta's defense.
He quickly handed the ball to Gustavo, who had a gap on the left front, and then handed it to De Bruyne.
In the absence of a good passing route, the football will quickly return to Martin's feet, and he will choose the next attack method and direction.
Martin conducted a detailed analysis before the game, and he found that Barcelona's defense had major shortcomings.
Especially left back Mathieu, who started this game.
31 years old, meters tall, the problem must be slow turning speed.
Martin switched positions with Gustavo through a passing transition and came to the left rib to organize the attack.
Suddenly, Barcelona's defensive pressure on the right increased exponentially.
Messi was not very involved in defense, and Barcelona's few shortcomings were gradually exposed.
Wolfsburg's left wing was dispatched many times by Martin, giving Schürrle a chance to attack one-on-one Mathieu.
Facing the 1.9-meter-tall Mathieu, Schurrle did not make any fancy moves and directly used his speed to level the ball toward the baseline.
However, the footwork of the subsequent cross was not handled well. When Dost and De Bruyne both ran into the penalty area, the force was too strong and the pass reached the back point. Alves did not hit the football when he retreated, and was blocked by the special Resch got it.
Tresch, who was born in midfield, did not rush to pass the ball. He dunked the football back and then handed the ball to Vierinha in the ribs.
After a series of passes, the football came to Martin's feet again.
Defense is one of Barcelona's few shortcomings.
Martin believes that continuous attacks will always expose some problems for Barcelona, which is not good at defense.
Martin, who came to attack the left rib, received the ball from De Bruyne, made a slight adjustment, and passed directly to the left rib at a 45° angle.
The football shot up from the ground and flew quickly to the back of the penalty area. Fans watching the live broadcast of the game could clearly see an almost perfect arc drawn in the sky above Barcelona's penalty area, flying towards Dost who was squeezing Pique.
Dost had known for a long time that Martin would pass the ball and had a prediction in advance.
He was stuck in position first, which made Pique unable to take off at all.
Dost, who jumped high in the crowd, stood out from the crowd, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and headed the ball towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Ter Stegen's super extreme reaction in front of the goal served as a quick life-saving pill for Barcelona fans. His flying side dive pushed the football upward, grazing the top edge of the crossbar and out of the baseline.
"oooo——"
The Barcelona fans in the audience let out a wave of frightened exclamations.
If Wolfsburg expands the score, the next game will be very troublesome.
"Wolfsburg's attack is really powerful!"
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly.
De Bruyne took a corner kick from the left, and Dost, who was in front of him, took off and feinted a shot. He subconsciously jumped up and looked at the height of the flying football and couldn't help but curse inwardly: Fuck!
Even Yao Ming can't hit the ball.
Naldo, who ran to the penalty spot, shook his head to attack the goal, but he failed to adjust his sight due to Suarez's interference, and the football missed the outside edge of the left goal post and went out of the baseline.
Barcelona gets a goal kick.
After continuous defense, the Barcelona players were still a little panicked. Ter Stegen also stabilized the ball before handing it to Mascherano.
Wolfsburg's defensive strategy was to defend heavily in the backcourt, and Barcelona was able to successfully dribble the ball through the center line and reach the offensive 40-meter area.
Barcelona's offense was very patient, constantly involving Wolfsburg's defense through conduction from the outside.
As soon as Martin returned to the right midfielder position in continuous defense, Gustavo, who was serving as the left midfielder, made a mistake.
When he was defending Messi, he took a step half a beat too late and tripped Messi who had pushed the ball out in advance.
Martin, who had already had a premonition, spread his hands and felt very depressed.
According to the detailed defensive plan formulated before the game, the area at the top of the penalty area should be as free of fouls as possible.
Moreover, he has the task of making up for the defense, which means that Gustavo does not need to foul.
In other words, the foul has to wait for him to complete.
Looking at the location of Gustavo's foul, he couldn't help but frown.
The front edge of the penalty area on the right is about 24 meters away from the goal, which is completely within Messi's shooting range.
"big trouble!"
Also feeling the same way is Wolfsburg coach Heijing.
Barcelona fans watched Messi prepare to take the free kick, holding their breath and trying not to make any noise, so as not to affect Messi's free kick.
Wolfsburg fans booed harshly like Barcelona who had previously affected De Bruyne's penalty.
Messi, who appeared on the broadcast screen, raised his eyebrows slightly and started to run after hearing the referee's whistle.
The right foot supports the body, and the inner side of the golden left foot kicks towards the middle and lower part of the football.
The football shot up from the ground just passed over the head of Wolfsburg's jumping wall and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Benaglio chose to do what most goalkeepers do, blocking the near corner and guarding the far corner.
Taking into account Messi's superb footwork, Benaglio also kept an eye out.
As soon as the football popped up from the top of the wall, he moved decisively towards the near corner. He took two lunges to run. His whole body was like a spring squeezed to the extreme, but he was still half a beat too slow. He could only watch helplessly as the football flew in between his left fingers. The upper right corner of the goal.
"Messi! Scored a wonderful direct free kick in the 13th minute of the game!"
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "1:1, both sides of the game are back on the same starting line!"
Barcelona fans at the National Stadium in Tbilisi were as excited as children, dancing and expressing the ecstasy of the equalizer.
In their view, equalizing the score is just the beginning, and next... there will be overtaking, expanding the score and sealing the victory!
