Chapter 229 Let’s Run!
Messi has been observing the movement of the midfield.
He saw that Yi Le was struggling alone in the encirclement of Atletico Madrid, and others could not help much.
In this game, Messi already knew that Valverde gave Yile an order to hold the ball.
Yi Le also tried his best for this, but it turns out that individuals cannot compete with the system.
No matter how powerful Yi Le is, facing the continuous defense of Atletico Madrid players can still make him miserable.
But except for Yile, others don't seem to have the ability to hold the ball.
Busquets' position is too deep, Rakitic does not dare to hold the ball, and the probability of losing the ball is very high.
The only one I can rely on is Yi Le.
I don’t know since when, Messi felt that Barcelona was putting too much pressure on Yi Le.
Messi is playing very happily and easily this season.
He didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but when he thought about it later, he figured out the problem.
Has the stress really gone?
No! The pressure is still there, it's just that another person is shouldering the pressure.
Since Yile became the core, the pressure has gradually shifted to Yile, and now he is shouldering the offensive responsibility of the entire team.
Messi knows how desperate this pressure can be.
Because of his experience, he understood how difficult Yi Le's situation was at this time.
Someone had to do something for him.
Messi hesitated and retreated decisively.
Last season, he dropped back to save the team.
This season, his retreat is to help his teammates.
...
"Move! Are you playing senior football? Why do I only see Yi running and everyone else walking?!"
In a bar in Barcelona,
A middle-aged fan shouted angrily.
On TV, Barcelona's players are basically standing still, with only Yi Le constantly running and connecting in the midfield.
The range of movement of others is not large, which makes Yile's passing conditions more stringent.
Barcelona had played this way before, but the fans didn't think anything of it at the time.
After all, they were winning at the time.
Winning is everything.
But now that it has encountered difficulties, especially after Yile was blocked, this shortcoming has been exposed.
This makes middle-aged fans very dissatisfied.
Football is a running sport, and football does not require stance kicking.
Youth training players all understand the truth, why don’t they?
It was at this time that they saw Messi take the initiative to retreat and restructure the relationship with Yile.
Messi moved.
This made the fans' eyes light up and they looked forward with anticipation.
But the path was quickly blocked by Atletico Madrid again. Yile had no angle to release the ball and could only pass back.
"It's too slow!" The middle-aged fan slammed the table and shouted regretfully.
Others also looked at the TV nervously.
I saw that Messi did not give up. After the passing path was blocked, he immediately changed places.
Yi Le turned to look at Messi, but an Atletico Madrid player appeared between the two again.
Yi Le grinned subconsciously.
But the next second, Messi ran to the other side.
Messi is running!
Messi's running began to involve Atletico Madrid's defense, and also began to disrupt Atletico Madrid's defensive arrangement.
It's just... this is just a run between Messi and Yile. In a 22-man campaign, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
Yi Le also knows this. If Messi creates space, it will be blocked soon, and Yi Le will not have time to get the ball out.
"Hey! Here!"
Yi Le picked up the ball with his back on the sideline, and was protecting the ball despite the push of two Atletico Madrid players.
All he could think about was how to escape and transfer.
At this moment, shouts came from all around.
"Hey, here!"
"Yi, look at me here!"
"I am coming!!"
Yi Le looked up in surprise and found that Busquets and Rakitic were supporting him from different angles.
Yi Le's eyes lit up, he picked the ball with his toes and slammed back at the same time.
Seizing the moment when the Atletico Madrid player behind him was shaking, he quickly turned around, used his shoulder to lightly buckle, and sent the ball to Rakitic's feet.
This escape technique can be described as a combination of strength and skill.
Especially the shoulder pass at the end is amazing.
"Beautiful!!" Barcelona commentator Comans stood up rashly and shouted in surprise: "This turn around and escape is simply an art. Yi's shoulders really know how to pass!"
Barcelona fans were also pleasantly surprised.
They couldn't help but cheer loudly as they looked at this amazing turn around.
On the court, after Rakitic received the ball, he immediately knocked it to Yile, and Yile moved the ball diagonally with one kick.
In the direction of the ball, Messi faced the flying Atletico Madrid players and calmly knocked back to Yi Le.
Yi Le held the ball again and looked up.
Barcelona's players began to run, and the previous blockades lost their effect.
boom! !
Rakitic and Herrera collided, but surprisingly Rakitic stabilized the center, while Herrera staggered two steps after being hit.
Rakitic sent the ball away and said with a ferocious smile: "Hey! Man, you are only one year younger than me. We are all old guys."
Herrera glared back hard.
On the other side, while defending Phoenix, Pique said: "I have seen through your next move."
Phoenix was stunned.
Pique took the ball out with lightning speed.
The ball was collected by Busquets and left gracefully.
Looking at the shocked Phoenix, Pique couldn't help turning around and pouting, "How tender!"
As soon as Busquets got the ball, the opponent's players immediately came to the goal and wanted to press.
Kok saw that Busquets was not protecting the ball rigorously, and he wanted to intercept it.
But as soon as he took his foot halfway, he noticed that Busquets started to move the ball, and the direction of his move was not in the opposite direction, but towards his legs.
Seeing this, Keke broke into a cold sweat.
He wants to cheat!
Cork quickly put his foot back, and Busquets passed Cork's defense very smoothly. During this period, he looked at Cork in surprise.
Kirk felt ashamed and angry, what were he looking at! Old guy, very bad!
Busquets passed the ball to Yi Le, and then started to chirp, obviously not satisfied with the performance just now.
If you operate it normally, the worst you can get is a yellow card!
Why! pity!
Busquets put his hands on his hips and shook his head.
On the other side, Yi Le looked at his teammates with an inexplicable expression.
He didn't know why, but the ball kicked smoothly.
The teammates who had always been calm before suddenly became fierce.
Their way of playing football is strange, but it is very effective, but the method is a bit... emmmmmmm.
But Yi Le doesn't need to think about this. What he wants to think about is how to win.
Now that the state is starting to get better, let's start attacking.
Whoosh! !
Yile pulled the ball and turned around. After avoiding the steal from the Atletico Madrid player, he immediately sent the ball out.
This was also his first offensive pass of the game.
