Chapter 626 You Come and I Go

Barcelona, ​​which gained a firm foothold, gradually took control of the rhythm on the court.

QPR has adhered to the "me first" strategy for the past two seasons, and Simeone also places great emphasis on controlling the rhythm.

But in front of the rhythm master Barcelona, ​​QPR is still a little immature.

Simeone had been standing on the sidelines, watching the game nervously, not knowing what he was planning in his heart.

In the 9th minute of the game, Messi took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and then cut inside.

Simeone was nervous when he saw Messi break through with the ball, but luckily the ball didn't go in in the end.

He finally understood the feelings of those opponents in the past. Presumably every time Ricardo gets the ball, the opponents' head coaches feel the same way.

Such a player is really God's darling, and he may make unexpected moves to change the situation on the field every second.

After 1 minute, Messi and Iniesta hit the wall to cooperate. Messi received Iniesta's return pass and stuffed the ball into the penalty area. The ball was not kicked.

There was a muffled exclamation at Loftus Road.

Messi's threat is too great.

QPR is not without the ability to fight back.

In the 13th minute, Neymar took a corner kick and Alderweireld's header almost broke the net.

2 minutes later, Ricardo took a free kick into the penalty area. Ronaldo grabbed a header and missed the goal again.

One minute later, Ricardo dribbled the ball in from the left, cut inside suddenly, and then passed the ball back outside the penalty area. Pogba shot angrily at the ball, and Valdes struggled to save the ball.

Barcelona then organized an attack, and Iniesta took a shot from the left side of the penalty area and missed the far corner.

The tempo on the court is getting faster and faster, and the transition between offense and defense is dizzying.

In such a fast-paced game, Barcelona made almost no mistakes, and this is the most terrifying thing. Their ability to control the ball has reached the height of a work of art.

Simeone looked at everything on the field seriously.

The feeling when watching the video is different from experiencing it live.

Only at the scene can you feel the pressure brought by Barcelona. It is the pressure that every inch of space on the court is squeezed by the opponent, and it is the pressure that makes it difficult to breathe.

It's hard to imagine that QPR haven't conceded a goal so far, and they're still playing impressively.

(We are strong). This idea came to Simone's mind.

Stronger than I thought before.

To be able to deal with such a powerful Barcelona, ​​only slightly at a disadvantage!

We are already one of the top teams in Europe!

Last season's championship was no fluke, and this season's current second place ranking is no luck either!

Simeone was lost in thought when QPR launched a fast break. Nainggolan passed the ball to the left. After receiving the ball, Ricardo quickly cut inside and drilled into the penalty area at high speed.

Unable to do so, Pique tripped Ricardo in front of the penalty area line.

"Fouled by Piqué! QPR get a free-kick in a very good position, a little bit to the left of the box, Ricciardo's favorite position! Barcelona in big trouble!"

Ricardo and Ronaldo stood in front of the ball together, discussing and waiting for Barcelona to set up the wall.

Under the command of Valdes, Barcelona players slowly set up a human wall.

Although there were two people standing in front of the ball, everyone knew that it was Liccardo who took the penalty.

The referee blows the whistle.

Ronaldo started his run and then he stepped over the ball. Ricardo also started to run.

Sure enough, it was Ricardo who took the penalty!

However, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated and ran to the wall. Ricardo ran in front of the ball and pushed the ball forward.

Ronaldo half-turned, didn't stop the ball, and started to volley!

Valdes fought hard to save, but it was in vain. Ronaldo's shot was so powerful and heavy that it went straight into the dead corner!

"Ronaldo Goalllllll! Hero Ronaldo! This is an important goal worth a thousand dollars,

The games after QPR will be easier! "

"Brother, thank you for your assist. The route is very good and the strength is just right." Ronaldo ran towards Ricardo.

"Congratulations, Dadado, this is your 55th Champions League goal."

"Are you looking down on me?" Ronaldo laughed. "The top scorer in the history of the Champions League, the current top scorer with a total of 97 goals in 8 seasons?"

Liccardo smiled and said nothing.

After a short celebration, the game continued.

The mentality of the Barcelona players did not seem to be affected in the slightest, and they were still playing their football in an orderly manner.

It seems that no matter what the score is, their football philosophy cannot be shaken.

Simeone did not let the team shrink, and QPR continued to press high.

"No, why didn't QPR play a defensive counterattack?" The commentator couldn't figure it out. "If you continue to play against Barcelona, ​​QPR will just wait to lose the ball. I think there is a problem with Simeone's thinking."

Ricardo also admitted.

If you want to win and advance, now is the time for the team to shrink its defense and fight back.

But Simeone is looking at not just this season, but many seasons to come.

The team must have the courage to play against the best team in the world!

Even if you pay the price of not being able to advance this season, it's still worth it!

Although Liccardo disagreed, he supported Simeone's idea.

In the 23rd minute, Messi broke away and sent a wonderful pass. Iniesta shot from the edge of the penalty area. Handanovic saved the ball.

In the 26th minute, QPR was on a fast break. Ricardo suddenly moved the ball to the right in a wide range. Neymar broke through and sent a cross. Ronaldo shot with his toes. The football almost missed the post and rolled out of the baseline.

Soon, Messi seemed to be injured under Sandro's defense, and blood oozed from his knee.

The England commentator praised Sandro's performance: "This youngster is becoming more and more mature. This season he has become QPR's regular main force, and his cooperation with Ricardo is also quite skillful, becoming an important starting point for the team's offense. , and his defensive ability is second to none. In today's game, he successfully defended Messi, which will greatly help build his confidence."

Messi went to the sidelines for treatment, and Barcelona slowed down its attack and began to slowly control the ball in the midfield and backcourt.

After QPR pressed hard for a few minutes, at Simeone's request, the formation shrank a bit so as not to consume the energy of the midfield and frontcourt players too much.

Barcelona was not in a hurry to attack, and the two sides entered a relatively stable period.

But after the game entered the 35th minute, Barcelona suddenly accelerated again.

In the 37th minute, Iniesta cleverly distributed the ball. Sanchez cut in from the left and shot, but was blocked by the defender.

In the 38th minute, Alves assisted and suddenly sent an exquisite through ball. Messi broke into the penalty area to get the ball from offside. Alex Sandro was reduced to a backdrop at this moment.

Facing the last defender and goalkeeper, Messi was very calm, pulled the ball past Alderweireld, and then shot from a small angle with his left foot into the far corner.

Handanovic failed to save and could only watch the football go into the net.

"Goallllll! Messi equalized the score for Barcelona! This is his 57th goal this season and his 59th Champions League goal. His performance is crazy!"
