Chapter 654 Messi’s Counterattack
When the ball fell again, Gao Xiaodong very gently used the outside instep of his left foot to cut the ball to the left side of his body, just avoiding Keita's path. Then he took a step forward, pushed the arch of his left foot, and passed the ball to the left wing. , behind Barcelona right back Alves.
This stop-and-pass movement does not seem to be fast, but it is very smooth. It is not at all like Gao Xiaodong's original fierce and fast but slightly hurried kicking style.
What is more important is not the technique of stopping the ball, but the awareness. After Gao Xiaodong passed Busquets, he stopped the ball to avoid the opponent's press, and passed the ball to the space behind Alves. This is definitely not an ordinary player. can be done.
The so-called star style, this is the star style, not show-off.
Guardiola couldn't help but grunted twice again. This time he was simply jealous. Damn it, a 20-year-old kid is like a top midfielder in handling the ball.
Eto'o is more active than Ibrahimovic today. He didn't score in the last game at Meazza, but it doesn't matter. Now at Camp Nou, he must score. He must score in front of 90,000 people. It was proved to the fans that he was stronger than Ibrahimovic and it was Barcelona's fault for driving him away.
So when Alves moved forward, he followed him all the way to his own half, and when Gao Xiaodong got the ball, he ran to Barcelona's half and kept running towards the baseline.
Alves didn't believe that Gao Xiaodong could pass the ball so quickly. Eto'o believed in Gao Xiaodong. With this gap, Alves was slower than Eto'o. When Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, Eto'o passed the ball. Opened Alves and took the ball towards Barcelona's bottom line.
Eto'o even had the energy to look at the penalty area. He found that Milito and Gao Xiaodong had already intervened at high speed, and Eto'o immediately swept the ball towards the penalty area.
If Eto'o is the most excited, then Milito, who suffered from cramps in the last round, is definitely the most diligent. Gao Xiaodong started running when he got the ball. When he saw Gao Xiaodong didn't pass it to him, he ran sideways. Eto'o After O received the ball and broke through, he changed to a direct penetration. From the beginning of the game, he almost never stopped.
Diligence can make up for mistakes. Milito's active running brought him a chance. When the ball flew into the penalty area, he rushed into the penalty area one step faster than Pique. Under Pique's squeeze, Milito fell to the ground and used the arch of his foot. Scoop the ball towards the goal.
After ten years of sharpening his sword, Milito's shooting skills have become perfect. He also touched such a fast pass with his kick, but the ball was too fast. Milito's touch was already amazing. He no longer had the ability to change direction. It hit goalkeeper Valdez's leg and bounced out.
More than 90,000 Barcelona fans were so frightened that they almost jumped. They were relieved when they saw the ball hit Valdez's leg.
However, the danger has not passed,
At this time, Gao Xiaodong also entered the penalty area. When he saw the ball pop out, he immediately changed direction and rushed towards the ball.
Puyol quickly returned to defense and rushed over to make a rescue, but Gao Xiaodong was faster. He rushed past Puyol like lightning and flew towards the ball.
Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez is not tall, and his reaction was extremely fast. He grabbed the ball with both hands before Gao Xiaodong touched it.
Gao Xiaodong hurriedly retracted his feet, but it was a step too late, and his legs still hit Valdez's body.
At this time, the Barcelona fans were almost as if they had come back from the gate of hell. They were so frightened that they even forgot to pay attention to the goalkeeper Valdes who fell to the ground and did not get up.
Fortunately, neither Milito nor Gao Xiaodong scored the ball, otherwise the game would have been directly over, because Barcelona needs to score 6 goals to advance.
Mourinho stamped his feet and beat his chest, feeling extremely regretful. If this goal had been scored, he would have been able to sit in the coaching bench and watch Barcelona's jokes. But now, he still cannot completely let go. After all, Barcelona had defeated them 4:0 at home. Arsenal.
Moratti, who was standing among the Inter Milan fans, looked up to the sky and sighed. He kept shouting that it was a pity. He looked like an ordinary fan.
In the VIP box, sitting with Laporta was the former great goalkeeper of Inter Milan Zenga.
Zeng Jia was applauding, while LaBurta looked at Gao Xiaodong with envy, almost drooling. The better Gao Xiaodong performed, the more LaBurta felt that buying Gao Xiaodong would definitely add to his campaign. A bigger weight, especially when Real Madrid digs Mourinho.
The Barcelona people originally thought that with Mourinho's character, Inter Milan would put up a steel barrel formation to defend in this game. Unexpectedly, Inter Milan created a very threatening offensive opportunity just after the game started.
Barcelona was caught off guard, but they did not flinch. They were too far behind, and even though they knew they might be counterattacked by Inter Milan, they could not stabilize.
Although Valdes was hit by Gao Xiaodong, nothing happened. He reluctantly got up and quickly threw the ball to Diego Milito's brother Gabriel. Milito, quickly sit down and hold your belly to rest.
In the first round, Barcelona's right back Maxwell made a big mistake and was repeatedly broken by Inter Milan. Maxwell was to blame for the big score loss, and Abidal's offensive power was not good, so Guardiola replaced him with a full-back who could play. And the central defender Xiao Milito, since Alves rarely comes back, Barcelona's formation is more often a crazy 343.
Xiao Milito was the main defender and he did not dare to dribble the ball. However, seeing Gao Xiaodong following Xavi again and his brother Milito following Busques, he had no choice but to pass the ball to Pique.
Pique played as a forward back then and had offensive capabilities and offensive tasks. When Xavi and Busquets were targeted at the two ball exit points, he decisively rushed forward with the ball.
Gao Xiaodong and Milito ignored Pique. Gao Xiaodong also ignored Pique. He just stared at his own man and asked Pique to charge forward. Inter Milan had three midfielders. As long as Pique passed the half-time, someone would definitely come to defend him. It would be better to let him go deeper alone.
When Pique reached halftime, Messi dropped back to receive the ball. Pique passed the ball to Messi, but he did not go back and responded at the midline.
As soon as Messi took a few steps, Cambiaso followed, and Zanetti also came to double-team. The two of them double-teamed the little brother of the national team.
In the last round of offense, Messi was completely defeated by Gao Xiaodong, and his defense was beaten by Zanetti and Cambiasso. This time, he wanted to regain his face. Facing the two big brothers, he rushed forward without hesitation.
Zanetti and Cambiaso were not in a hurry to attack. Zanetti kept his distance and retreated. Cambiaso approached Gao Xiaodong, looking for opportunities to steal.
However, Messi also tried his best this time. He didn't use his powerful passing skills. He made a fake move of slumping his shoulders and cutting inward, poked the ball, and used his speed to beat Zanetti.
Messi used his speed to "eat him alive", which Zanetti did not expect. It was too late to block the foul and he could only turn around and chase.
"Awesome! Messi breaks through Zanetti and Cambiaso! Barcelona's attack has begun!"
Messi reached the bottom line, but Zanetti hadn't caught up yet. He saw Ibrahimovic advancing, but Messi did not pass the ball to the penalty area to find Ibrahimovic's high point. Instead, he turned inward and cut towards the penalty area. .
Samuel quickly came over to make up the side, and Motta quickly made up for Samuel's position.
Samuel stopped Messi in the penalty area, but Samuel did not dare to foul or make any moves. He could only block his position and prevent Messi from passing by or shooting.
However, Messi is Messi. With less than two meters from the bottom line, he continuously moved the ball with both feet and used the skill of fried meatballs to pass Samuel.
"God! Messi passed Samuel again! He faced Cesar directly!"
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The Barcelona fans in the stands screamed desperately.
Although Messi passed Samuel, he was basically on the baseline. Goalkeeper Cesar blocked the near corner. Motta returned to Samuel's position and blocked his return line. , Messi was almost in a blind spot.
It seemed that Messi could neither pass nor shoot. It seemed that he could only kick the opponent for a corner kick. However, Messi was Messi. At this time, he actually rubbed the ball and lobbed it towards the back corner of the goal.
How is it possible to lob the goal at zero angle? Lampard's lob into Barcelona was a stroke of luck. Just when everyone thought Messi's lob was irrational, he suddenly discovered that Pedro Sliding into the penalty area from behind Maicon, leaping high to head for the ball.
"It turned out to be a pass!"
"It turned out to be a pass!"
"Messi is amazing!"
The whole audience exclaimed, and of course the Barcelona fans were even more surprised.
At this moment, there was no one to defend Pedro, and goalkeeper Cesar could not fly over. The Inter Milan players could only watch Pedro smash the ball into the goal easily.
1:0
Less than five minutes into the game, Barcelona pulled a goal back with a beautiful goal, bringing the total score to 1:4.
