Chapter 642: Sweeping the Universe Team
After Inter Milan scored the third goal, Barcelona was pushed into desperation. They wanted to make a comeback at home in the next round and must score at least one goal in the last ten minutes.
After another kick-off, the Barcelona players, who had no physical strength, worked up the courage and rushed through the center circle to attack Inter Milan regardless of the consequences.
Mourinho had originally planned to close the net, but now that Sneijder scored another goal, he was even more relieved to replace Sneijder and replace him with Stankovic, changing the formation to 4312 to strengthen defense.
Sneijder received warm applause from the fans when he came off the field. At this time, Inter Milan fans finally accepted Sneijder and regarded him as a member of Inter Milan.
Inter Milan took a three-goal lead and defended more calmly. They all returned to their own half, and all players stood in position, waiting for Barcelona to attack.
Although Barcelona's passing is powerful, and it is said to be smooth and flowing, it also requires space, and it also requires players to move quickly. Now Barcelona's physical fitness has long been gone, and almost all players can't run. Everyone in Inter Milan has returned. In their own half, Barcelona could only pass the ball from the outside and could not penetrate Inter Milan's penalty area.
At this moment, Barcelona needs a sharp blade to tear apart Inter Milan's defense from one point, and then cause Inter Milan to be completely passive. But at this moment, no matter where Messi changes positions, there are three people to double-team. Gao Xiaodong follows Xavi, a super breakthrough The points were covered by the "cage" set by Mourinho, and the brain of a midfielder was frozen by Gao Xiaodong. Barcelona's offense was devoid of threats, leaving only boring backcourt kicks and ball control.
Alves tried to open up a gap for Inter Milan from the wing, but as soon as he reached Inter Milan's frontcourt, Zanetti and Stankovic immediately double-teamed him. After stealing the ball, they directly hit Alves behind. Let Eto'o attack Alves.
Alves has no physical strength now. How to defend Eto'o? He can only rely on Puyol to make up the side.
After a few times, Alves did not dare to attack Zanetti easily.
In the 85th minute of the game, Pique suddenly dribbled the ball from behind the center circle. Eto'o quickly chased back and pressed. Pique passed the ball to Puyol, who then dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area of Inter Milan.
Puyol's dribbling up the ball was somewhat beyond Inter Milan's expectations, but Inter Milan had no shortage of people on defense. Motta immediately came over to intercept his then-captain brother.
Puyol played as a full-back for a period of time back then, and he also had some skills in breaking through. Facing Motta's attack, the blond Puyol stepped and pulled, and passed Motta with a not-so-pretty Marseille spin.
It's dangerous now,
After Puyol passed Motta, someone had to make up for it. At this time, there must be Barcelona players who were left empty.
But it was urgent and he looked ahead. Gao Xiaodong immediately gave up Xavi to guard Puyol, preventing him from continuing to break forward.
Puyol did not dare to pass Gao Xiaodong and immediately passed it back to Pique. Pique then passed it to Busques, who passed the ball to Xavi.
Gao Xiaodong was too late to go back to guard Harvey, and Harvey finally had room to easily get the ball.
When the Barcelona brain received the ball, he already knew the situation in the frontcourt well. When the ball came to his feet, he raised his head, pushed the arch of his foot, and the ball passed through the crowd and was sent behind Zanetti.
Zanetti had just shrunk to the middle when Puyol broke through. In this small space, Xavi caught him. Zanetti stretched out his foot to steal the ball, but the ball seemed to be very close to him, but it was just right. Rolled over the line just out of his reach.
The moment Xavi got the ball, Barcelona winger Pedro started to move. Although Pedro's personal ability is not strong, his movement is very flexible. When Xavi passed the ball, others just happened to catch up. , passed a cross into the penalty area.
Xavi's passing made Inter Milan fans amazed and frightened, but at this time they had no intention of admiring it. They only wanted to see whether the two central defenders could block Messi's grab.
Messi is not known for grabbing points, but he is nicknamed Xiaotiaochi. He is short and flexible. It is useless for Lucio and Samuel to get stuck in the position. Messi bypasses Lucio and falls to the ground to tackle him. ball.
Originally, Barcelona's offense had no threat. Inter Milan fans were waiting for the end of the game to celebrate a big victory. Unexpectedly, Puyol assisted and created a chance for the goalkeeper to kill.
Inter Milan prayed to God in horror, and Barcelona fans waited for the ball to hit the net and cheered. However, Messi's legs were short and he did not touch the ball. The ball slipped past the goal and flew directly out of the sideline.
Mourinho wiped the cold sweat from his head and secretly said that it was a big risk. If the opponent was given an away goal, going to Camp Nou would not be so safe.
Guardiola sighed again and again, hating Ibrahimovic in his heart. If it was Ibrahimovic who was rushing for the spot at this time, he would probably have it if he stretched his long legs, but it is a pity that Ibrahimovic did not live up to the expectations.
On-site commentator Reca exclaimed: "Inter Milan must not relax. The game is not over. Every Barcelona player has the ability to create murderous opportunities. You must concentrate and defend until the end of the game!"
Puyol's assist created such a big threat that Inter Milan immediately made adjustments. Pandev and Eto'o stopped attacking and came back to guard Puyol and Pique to prevent them from dribbling the ball forward. .
After all, Puyol and Pique are just center backs. They can suddenly dribble the ball. However, they dare not dribble the ball again when someone is marking them. They can only pass the ball to the full-backs and let Abidal and Alves attack.
Barcelona's two central defenders were controlled, and their physical fitness and morale were gone. Their offense was completely misfired, and they could only keep kicking on the outside.
In the 89th minute of the game, Guardiola had no choice but to send on the little prince Bojan, replaced Keita, and gave it a try with four forwards.
Although Bo Yang has good physical fitness, at the age of 20, he is still very immature. Facing Inter Milan's iron wall and fierce defense, he is not used to it. He tried to break through twice, but was tackled twice by Gao Xiaodong and Cambiaso and then stopped. .
Five minutes of injury time. In the third minute, almost all other Barcelona players gave up, but Messi was still unwilling to give up. He retreated to ask for the ball. After Alves passed the ball to him, he jumped slightly. Quickly dribble the ball from the center of Inter Milan towards the penalty area.
Cambiasso came to block the ball, but was dodged by Messi's fake moves of one or two, which seemed to be left and right.
Motta made a flying tackle, and Messi made an emergency stop to pass.
Lucio and Stankovic both tackled, and Messi jumped over again.
The fans of Inter Milan were wide-eyed again. They did not believe that Messi could break into the penalty area from the defense of five or six people from Inter Milan.
But there was Samuel. Seeing that Messi was approaching the penalty area, Samuel no longer hesitated and rushed towards Messi, and stretched out his arms to intercept Messi.
Messi continuously changed directions and adjusted. At this time, his physical energy was almost exhausted. He was unable to avoid Samuel's clutches. When Samuel bumped into him, Messi poked the ball away from Samuel with his toe. Muel's foot poked into the penalty area.
I don't know when Pedro actually inserted into the penalty area like a ghost again. The direction of Messi's pass was towards Pedro.
The fans of Inter Milan were going crazy. They didn't expect that Messi could pass so many players from Inter Milan and still pass the ball. Messi who went all out was really scary.
However, just when Pedro thought he had it and stretched out his foot to shoot, Gao Xiaodong arrived like a whirlwind and he shoveled the ball out of the baseline with a sliding tackle.
"What a risk, what a risk!"
"Too dangerous!"
"Gao Xiaodong came just in time!"
"Messi is terrible!"
"Without Xiaodong, Pedro might have scored!"
…
At this time, everyone in Inter Milan breathed a sigh of relief. The thrilling scene just now almost scared them into a cold sweat.
However, the on-site commentator Reka saw it clearly, "It looked very dangerous. In fact, when Messi passed Lucio and Stankovic, Gao Xiaodong had already gone back. Even if Messi passed Samuel again, Gao Xiaodong also had the opportunity to intercept Messi's ball. Now that the last minute of stoppage time has passed, Barcelona still has one last chance for a corner kick. Can they still seize it?"
Barcelona had already resigned themselves to their fate and were preparing to return to Camp Nou for another decisive battle, but Messi's attack made them ambitious again. When Xavi took the corner kick, everyone except Abidal and Valdes came to Inter Milan The restricted area competes for the top.
Xavi took a corner kick, and everyone in the penalty area was overwhelmed. Finally, Lucio got the ball and he pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
Offensive players and defensive players swarmed outside again to grab the spot.
The ball hit Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, and Valdes showed off his footwork. He stopped the ball with his chest and then lobbed it into the penalty area.
Valdez's footwork was obviously not comparable to that of his teammates, and the ball was passed directly to Inter Milan defender Samuel.
Samuel headed the ball towards the wing and the ball fell in front of Eto'o.
There were only ten seconds left. Any other Inter Milan player would probably have protected the ball and waited for the game to end.
However, Eto'o was given to Inter Milan by Barcelona as a gift. He worked hard at Inter Milan just to prove himself. When the ball came to him, he headed the ball forward without hesitation and fought desperately along the wing. Toward Barcelona's half.
Valdes had a bad premonition after he made a mistake in passing the ball and had already retreated. When he saw Eto'o receiving the ball, he turned around and ran back without hesitation.
At this moment, Inter Milan's players also saw the opportunity to score. Gao Xiaodong and Pan Defu ran toward Barcelona's half like swords.
Barcelona's two central defenders, Puyol and Pique, both competed for the top, and midfielder Busques also competed for the top. Only Abidal was behind, and he ran back desperately to see if there was any chance to return to defense. .
Eto'o had an unobstructed path and quickly reached the 30-meter area of Barcelona. At this time, Gao Xiaodong had already thrown away Pandev and was about to catch up with Abidal.
Eto'o was very confident in Gao Xiaodong's speed. He continued to accelerate towards the baseline. When he was approaching the baseline, Eto'o stopped the ball and found that Gao Xiaodong had surpassed Abidal. Eto'o immediately passed the ball towards the penalty area. .
Of course, Gao Xiaodong would not waste such an opportunity. He followed up without stopping, and ejected the ball hard from the instep of his right foot, sending the ball into the Barcelona gate for the second time.
Gao Xiaodong helped Inter Milan seal the victory at the last moment, sweeping the all-time invincible Barcelona 4-0 at home.
