Chapter 1000 Messi, Do You Know?

While Real Madrid faced APOEL at the Bernabéu, Barcelona traveled to Milan, Italy, for an away game against AC Milan, the third matchup between the two teams this season.

Barcelona met AC Milan in the group stage. The score in the two rounds was 2-2 at home and 2-3 away. They played very dangerously.

In this game, Allegri played a remnant lineup, Van Bommel and Thiago Silva were unable to play, veteran Nesta and Mexes partnered as central defenders, and the unstable factor Bonera also got the starting lineup. These are great news for Barcelona.

Guardiola started with the main lineup in this game. The goalkeeper is Valdez, the defense is Abidal, Puyol, Pique and Alves, the midfielder is Busquets, Sedu Keita and Xavi are in the center, Iniesta is on the left side of the front field, Messi is in the center, and Sanchez is on the right winger.

It is not difficult to see from the starting lineup that Barcelona attaches great importance to this game. Guardiola obviously still hopes to win AC Milan in the away game and successfully advance to the semi-finals. Moreover, he has also found a tactical mode of switching back and forth between three defenders and four defenders recently.

That is Alves.

When Alves appears in the frontcourt, Barcelona will automatically change to a three-back. If the Brazilian right back retreats, then Barcelona will return to a four-back formation. Guardiola is constantly exploring some new ideas in this way.

But this time they were dealing with Italian-style reinforced concrete.

Ten minutes before the game, Barcelona still couldn't find the state and rhythm as usual. This is a common problem in Guardiola's team.

The subsequent results were obvious. Bonera and Antonini, who were originally hidden dangers, played at a very high level in this game. They not only completed the defensive task, but also effectively filled the team's defensive loopholes.

Barcelona, ​​as always, controlled the ball, but as always, they could not create a threat.

Guardiola stubbornly insisted on infiltrating the ground, passing and cutting cooperation, hoping to disintegrate the opponent's defense through bit by bit advancement, but AC Milan completely blocked Barcelona from the penalty area through a rich level of linkage.

Obviously, Allegri also found the experience of restraining Barcelona through the two games in the group stage.

Guardiola made only one substitution in the whole game, replacing Sanchez with Pedro, but his performance did not improve.

The final result was that when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the zero-to-zero score on the scoreboard had not changed at all, and Barcelona suffered a draw with AC Milan in the away game.

The ball possession rate of the audience was over 65%, and the number of shots reached 18 times, but only three shots were actually on target, while AC Milan had six shots, three shots on target, and did not get a single corner kick.

Clearly, this was yet another game of crushing possession and lackluster offense.

Because Messi misfired again!

"Damn the turf, I can guarantee that they must have tampered with it before the game and absolutely did not water it."

"Must be, look at the bad turf, they did it on purpose."

"We found out yesterday when we were familiar with the field training and made a request, but they are still like this. We must go to UEFA to sue them."

"Today's turf is too bad, there are a lot of turnovers, and the ball is not easy to control."

...

The Barcelona players walked off the court with one word after another. Everyone was sweating profusely, but the expressions on their faces were filled with resentment.

Obviously, none of them were satisfied with the result.

According to UEFA regulations, on the morning of the UEFA Champions League match, representatives of the two clubs, the referee team and UEFA officials will hold a meeting to discuss matters related to the match.

After getting familiar with the venue yesterday, Barcelona raised questions with the club. I believe the club representative must have raised the issue with AC Milan today, but the venue is still so bad.

The statement given by AC Milan is that this is a problem with the internal microclimate of the stadium. It is a stalemate of the stadium for many years. In addition, this stadium has to arrange matches between AC Milan and Inter Milan at the same time. The task is very heavy, so the conditions of the venue have always been very unsatisfactory.

If they won the ball, then naturally this explanation would be within the acceptable range of Barcelona. For example, in the fifth round of the group stage, Barcelona defeated AC Milan 3-2 away, and the venue was not a problem.

The problem now is that the away game is tied 0-0.

Not a bad score, but not a great one either.

More importantly, AC Milan has found a way to restrain Barcelona, ​​which makes Barcelona players very worried.

Could it be that this season is going to stop at the top eight?

...

Messi still drooped his head, so that no one could see his expression at this moment.

He is always like this, not talking much, with a little mystery, but also a little emotional, making people elusive.

His performance in this game was also very unsatisfactory. The players of AC Milan also tried their best to deal with him. The fans even used green laser lights to attack him in the stands, which seemed to have played a role.

Messi walked down the pitch with his teammates. Just as he was about to reach the coaching bench of the visiting team, he saw the voices of AC Milan fans in the stands, "Hey, Messi, he's also passed the fifth grade. Did you know that?"

Then, there was a burst of laughter.

After hearing this, Messi suddenly raised his head, first looked at the gloating expressions of the AC Milan fans in the stands, and secretly swore in his heart that when he returned to the Camp Nou, he must teach them the most painful lesson and use his goals!

But what he cares more about now is the one called out by AC Milan fans.

who? Yang Yang?

He also staged five sons admitted?

Messi quickly walked into the coaching area of ​​the visiting team and came to the assistant coach Vilanova.

"Hey, Tito, how's it going over there?" Messi asked anxiously.

"Temporarily 6 to 1, the game is coming to an end."

Messi's heart skipped a beat, "Yang Yang... also scored five goals?"

Vilanova looked at Messi in front of him and nodded, "Five goals and one assist. Since the 84th minute, I have been looking for opportunities to score another goal."

He still wants to score another goal?

Messi gritted his teeth, he felt like he was going crazy.

Why was it that he just staged the five sons enrolling, and when Yang Yang turned around, another five sons enthroned?

What's worse, he actually wants to enter the sixth place!

Do you really want to kill them all like this?

Is it true that there is no chance left for me?

Messi borrowed a mobile phone from Vilanova and watched the live broadcast of the game directly through the mobile network.

At the 92nd minute, APOEL retreated across the board. Modric sent a pass. After Yang Yang got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he dunked the defender with his right foot and hit a low ball with his left foot, but was blocked back by the defender in the penalty area.

The ball still fell at the feet of Real Madrid players, but Yang Yang failed to score again.

However, he didn't seem to care, he still raised his hand, calling his teammates.

Real Madrid is now full of pressure, forming an overwhelming advantage over APOEL. Obviously, everyone hopes to help Yang Yang score this goal again.

He is so popular!

Messi thought.

Ask yourself, if it were him, the Barcelona players might not be able to help him with such a concerted effort.

Before they knew it, the Barcelona players also noticed the movement on Messi's side, and they all moved closer. When they saw the live broadcast of the game on the screen of Messi's mobile phone, they were all silent.

…………

…………

The game time was passing by bit by bit. Whether it was all the Barcelona players in the coaching bench of the visiting team at the San Siro Stadium or the more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu Stadium, they were all watching Yang Yang who was trying to score goals on the court.

The live TV footage was specially given to a certain position in the chairman's stand. Former Real Madrid star Golden Wolf Guti appeared in everyone's sight with his girlfriend. He dyed his blond hair and grew a beard. He still looked like the maverick Golden Wolf back then.

Guti negotiated the termination of the contract with the Turkish team Besiktas in November last year and returned to Spain. He hoped to play in La Liga, but he failed to find a home during the winter break. Instead, he met the Spanish supermodel Berlucio who is sitting next to him now.

In Spain and even in Europe, top league stars are often sought after by supermodels and female entertainment stars. Even though Berlucio is quite famous in Spain, even though Guti is a former Real Madrid player who is about to retire, he is still a hot commodity.

But at this time, Golden Wolf Guti couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart after watching tonight's game. He stood up from his seat, grabbed the iron guardrail in front of him, and shouted: "Keep going, Yang!"

"Keep working harder, it's still a little bit close, there is a chance!"

Belucio sat aside, unable to understand why Guti was so emotional at this moment, because in her opinion, it had nothing to do with Guti, and even Yang Yang's performance had nothing to do with Guti.

But he was still so carried away that he completely forgot everything and was immersed in the game.

...

In the stadium, Real Madrid is constantly organizing the offensive, from the left to the center to the right...

Continuously trying and attacking, trying again and again, and returning without success again and again.

APOEL is obviously also guarding the last trace of dignity, and they are doing their best to prevent Real Madrid from scoring.

Even if they have already conceded six goals.

Even if they are destined to end in a fiasco tonight.

But they are still doing their best to stop each other.

Ibrahimovic retreated to the outside of the penalty area. After receiving a pass from David Silva, he stopped with his right foot and picked again, directly to the left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo inserted into the penalty area at the fastest speed, stopped Ibrahimovic's ball to the front with his chest, and passed directly with his left foot, trying to send the ball into the penalty area, but at this time, APOEL retreated almost across the board, and the penalty area was full of people.

The ball hit the defender, bounced high, and failed to pass to Yang Yang's feet as expected.
