Champion’s Heart

Chapter 286 Professional-Level "Plum Blowing"

When the first half of the game ended, the technical statistics of the first half of the game were displayed on the TV screen. Although Barcelona is behind in the score, from the perspective of the scene and technical statistics, Barcelona still has the upper hand.

Barcelona's ball possession rate is 57%, slightly better than Dortmund.

Number of shots, in the 45 minutes of the first half, Barcelona had five shots, three of which hit the goal frame.

Dortmund had four shots, only one of which was within the goal frame, and it was this shot that scored the goal, which was quite efficient.

With an away goal, Dortmund's first goal is actually completed.

The Catalan commentator still found it surprising that Barcelona failed to equalize the score in the first half.

The TV broadcast showed the camera to Zhou Yi who was coming off the stage. He was walking down talking and laughing with Gotze. Not far from him, Messi walked quickly with his head lowered and covering his mouth with his hand.

The two sides really formed a sharp contrast.

"Zhou Yi was Dortmund's best player in the first half." said the Catalan commentator. "He was the instigator of Dortmund's goal. And not only in offense, this time Zhou Yi unexpectedly performed very well in defense. I think this is the main reason why Barcelona failed to score in the first half..."

"Zhou Yi's performance in defense is really surprising. Everyone has always had the impression that Zhou Yi is an offensive organizer. In defense, he can only show off and stand in position." He Ping also began to evaluate Zhou Yi. First half performance. "But Zhou Yi seems to have interpreted another kind of defense for us. This kind of defense is based on his full understanding of the opponent. Zhou Yi knows Barcelona very well, and he knows it like the back of his hand. Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles'. It has always been , we all know that it is important to understand the opponent, but Zhou Yi redefined 'understanding the opponent'."

During the halftime break, the Barcelona players gathered together and they were so familiar with Zhou Yi that they couldn't explain it. Xavi only had his own guess, and he didn't say it casually.

Guardiola told the players not to pay attention to these problems.

The most important thing is not why Zhouyi is so familiar with them, but how they can not be embarrassed at home now that they are one goal behind.

Guardiola made adjustments to the team's tactics in the second half. Since Zhou Yi knew Barcelona's passing routes very well in the first half, Barcelona would reduce such passes in the second half.

The burden falls on Messi.

Guardiola's adjustment is very simple, which is to make more use of the stars' individual abilities.

I dribble the ball to break through, you can't be familiar with my routine, right?

After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Barcelona quickly made changes, and their number of reverse kicks in the frontcourt was significantly reduced.

And sharp breakthroughs began to increase.

Messi has become the brightest star on the court.

The cheers at the Camp Nou were wave after wave, and the commentators were also impressed by Messi's wonderful performance.

When Messi suddenly cut in from the wing, started dribbling laterally, passed two Dortmund players, and then shot, but missed slightly, the Catalan commentator roared: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhh!! What a pity! Messi! What a wonderful performance! He is the riot force in our hearts! If you love football, this is your Romeo! Look at this genius! Look at this lightning speed! Look at those who want to bring him down! Look at how many people he has around him, and he provokes them all!”

If you only listen to this commentary, you will definitely think that Messi has just completed a great performance that can be selected into the top ten goals of the year, but in fact, this goal did not score...

"...But it's a pity that he couldn't sprinkle the last drop of honey..." The Catalan commentator obviously also knew about this problem, so he briefly mentioned that the goal was not scored, but he immediately changed it When it comes to praise and flattery. "But what a shocking ability this is!!"

Fortunately, Zhou Yi couldn't hear the commentator's voice, otherwise he would have rolled his eyes - this is all nonsense!

Messi's fans are not just the commentators in Catalonia. In this game, except for the German commentator Marcel Leif and the Chinese commentator He Ping, the commentators on other neutral TV stations are probably Messi. fans.

Perhaps the most famous is Rey Hodson, the English commentator of the Spanish TV station GOLTV. This commentator with a slightly hoarse voice is famous for his passionate commentary, but most of this passion is used for Barcelona and Messi. He has never concealed his identity as a Barcelona supporter and "Mei Biao".

Later, Messi made another wonderful breakthrough from the front of the penalty area, a Marseille spin into Dortmund's penalty area, and then shot.

At that time, everyone thought the goal was a sure goal.

But the football hit the near post, bounced out behind Weidenfeller, and was finally cleared by the Dortmund defender and kicked out of the sideline.

When the football hit the goalpost, Hodson put his head in his hands and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Ah——!"

Later, when the ball was replayed in slow motion on TV, Hodson said passionately: "Play 'Heartbreak City' for Messi! How fascinating! Look at this scene, and then your jaw will drop on the carpet. Pick it up! Such incredible and controllable speed! Wonderful! Then the ball hit that tall, ugly, white and thin thing! How dare it not let us see the masterpiece from the master of magic! From the greatest player of all time!"

This kind of thing sounds harsh to the ears, but Hodson can just open his mouth without any mental barriers.

In addition to being a famous "Mei Biao" himself, the situation Barcelona was facing in this game also made him unable to help but become anxious and excited.

He hopes Barcelona can equalize the score as soon as possible and lay the foundation for subsequent counterattacks.

Therefore, every shot without a goal by Messi can trigger Hodson's passion.

Messi didn't keep his supporters waiting too long either.

In the 53rd minute, after Messi received Xavi's pass at the edge of the Dortmund penalty area, facing Gundogan's tackle, he simply moved the football forward with his left foot and shook it away. Gundogan.

Then he immediately faced the waiting center back Hummels.

When Hummels rushed forward, Messi made an emergency stop to slow down, then used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football to the left, and at the same time he changed to cut inside. Hummels turned around and continued to follow.

And just when Messi and Hummels were entangled, Gundogan had also ran back and was once again stuck between Messi and the goal. In addition, Sven Bender also rushed from the left to support his teammates, and three Dortmund players wearing yellow trees blocked in front of Messi.

This is already a heavy siege and an iron-clad defense.

But I saw Messi moving around in the circle surrounded by these three people, extremely flexible.

Facing Sven Bender who came up first, Messi made a move to pass the ball, but he paused while racing against time to get rid of it.

But it was this meal that made Sven Bender hesitate. He stretched out his foot not to steal the ball from Messi's feet, but to block Messi's passing line.

But when he stretched out like this, Messi dunked the football with his left foot towards the penalty area line.

This dunk not only allowed him to dunk over Sven Bender, but also over Gundogan, who was very close to Sven Bender.

He then squeezed into the gap ahead of Hummels and headed towards Dortmund's penalty area.

After entering the penalty area, he controlled the ball with his left foot, stuck Hummels on the right side of his body, and then shot low directly.

The football drew an arc against the turf, passed through the Dortmund players surrounding Messi, and also passed Weidenfeller's fingers.

Then he rubbed the far post and rolled into the goal with a very tricky attitude!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!! Are you fucking kidding me!?" Hodson suddenly became excited, and his hoarse voice burst out from the TV speakers. “This man has absolute football magic running through his veins! From another galaxy entirely! Nothing like ours!! It’s an absolutely thrilling, jaw-dropping stroke of genius! Look at what he’s facing Trapped in a three-man siege, three Dortmund players defended tightly, and he cared about them all! He emasculated them!! Breaking them all!! Total collapse!! He literally broke down the physical atoms on this side of the defense. ! Regrouped on the other side! The best in the world, Lionel! Breathtaking!! Astonishing to the heavens!!"

During his almost crazy explanation, huge cheers erupted from the stands of the Camp Nou stadium, as if it were an erupting active volcano. People find it difficult to stand.

This is the power of the Camp Nou stadium!

All Barcelona fans were celebrating Messi's goal and cheering for Messi. They chanted Messi's name, hoarse and hysterical.

In this huge momentum, Messi ran towards the corner flag area with open arms. His teammates caught up with him, hugged him, and celebrated the goal with him.

The Dortmund players were stunned by the explosive atmosphere. The moment Messi scored, it was as if a blockbuster had been detonated in front of their goal. They were knocked to the ground by the shock wave, dizzy. Swell... (To be continued.)
