Chapter 1281 This Is Messi!
"A quick counterattack from Real Madrid."
"Toni Kroos sent a long ball straight to Barcelona's left."
"James Rodriguez came in quickly on the right and got the ball."
"Alba is coming back fast, he's very fast."
"Let's see how Real Madrid handle this time."
"James Rodriguez sent a diagonal pass with his left foot and moved behind the Barcelona defense."
"Yang Yang plugged in quickly, neither Pique nor Mathieu could stop him..."
"Have a chance!!! Real Madrid!!!"
"Shoot directly!!!"
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Yang Yang! Yang Yang! In the 52nd minute, Yang Yang scored a goal for Real Madrid through a quick counterattack."
"A very fast and sharp counterattack. Real Madrid seized a very threatening counterattack opportunity and broke through Barcelona's goal. The entire counterattack process was very fast. Yang Yang directly faced Barcelona's two central defenders."
"From the slow-motion playback, it is not difficult to see that Real Madrid's counterattack is very concise. After Ramos steals, Toni Kroos directly passes long. James Rodriguez stops the ball and then passes diagonally behind him. Barcelona does not defend. Any reaction time for the players."
"Although Pique and Mathieu defended Yang Yang from left to right, they were actually unable to stop Yang Yang's back attack. They even lagged a little behind in terms of starting speed and explosive power. In the end, Yang Yang seized the opportunity. A good shot."
"One to one, now the two sides have returned to the same starting line."
"We have to say that this is indeed a very unexpected attack, but Real Madrid's counterattack efficiency is extremely high, they directly seized the opportunity, and did not leave any chance for Barcelona to make up for it."
"Now the score is back to a tie and the game restarts."
...
After Yang Yang scored a goal, he rushed out of the field excitedly, waving his hands along the way, indicating that the cheers from the Real Madrid fans should be stronger.
But when he ran to the sidelines, when Real Madrid players ran over one by one, Yang Yang gathered them together.
"Let's keep that rhythm, don't worry, we need to be more stable than before, understand?" Yang Yang asked vigorously.
Real Madrid players are not stupid. After being reminded by Yang Yang, they all realized that the current situation and atmosphere are beneficial to Real Madrid. As long as Real Madrid does not make mistakes, Barcelona will still make mistakes sooner or later.
In this case, Real Madrid's best choice is to remain unchanged and wait for Barcelona to make mistakes.
But if Real Madrid is anxious to eat Barcelona in one go, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity and fight back.
Barcelona under the coach of Luis Enrique is also a good defensive counterattack, especially Cristiano Ronaldo.
...
On the sidelines, the people dancing with excitement turned into Ancelotti and Zidane, while Luis Enrique shouted vigorously towards the court, obviously dissatisfied with conceding the goal.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands cheered crazily, especially shouting Yang Yang's name, while the Barcelona fans remained silent, worried and worried about conceding a goal.
In the past few years, Barcelona's performance against Real Madrid has been so bad that they have begun to worry about gains and losses.
Luis Enrique obviously realized this very quickly, so he yelled at the players on the field, signaling them to hold their ground, not to be chaotic, to maintain their own rhythm, control the ball, and not to be led by Real Madrid. .
…………
…………
The game restarts.
Including inside and outside the stadium, including the fans and spectators in front of the TV, everyone can clearly realize the changes in the game situation.
Barcelona began to panic, a little anxious.
He scored a goal in the first three minutes, but then he failed to expand the results and it was difficult to create a threat. Instead, less than ten minutes into the second half, he was pulled back by the opponent, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
More importantly, in the past few years, Barcelona's record against Real Madrid has been completely at a disadvantage, and it can even be said that they have no advantage at all. In this case, Barcelona cannot remain calm and rational anyway. It is impossible to be without emotions.
On the field, Messi felt this emotion from his teammates more deeply.
He has personally experienced Barcelona's strength against Real Madrid, and his weakness against Real Madrid over the years. His feelings are deeper than anyone else's, which is why he chose to give up the frontcourt attack in this game and turn to The reason for the constant retreat.
He can sacrifice himself, as long as the team can beat Real Madrid.
The opening goal made him see hope, but then Real Madrid quickly stabilized their position and did not give Barcelona too many opportunities, but Barcelona's 1-0 lead made Messi and his teammates still feel at ease.
But now, it's a one-to-one tie, the lead is gone, and the fear and shadow of Real Madrid that have been accumulated over the past years have once again occupied the hearts of Barcelona players.
Can't go on like this!
Absolutely not!
Messi is well aware of this.
If the situation is favorable and creates opportunities, then seize the opportunity to score goals; if the situation is unfavorable and there is no opportunity, then use your personal ability to reverse the situation and create opportunities!
This is Messi's creed and his duty as Barcelona's number one star!
From the beginning to the 60th minute of the whole game, Messi didn't even have a decent threatening shot, and he even made very few advances. He was more of a tactical pawn of the team, responsible for pulling Real Madrid's defense Focus and create opportunities for Neymar and Alba on the left side of the frontcourt, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta and Rakitic in the center.
But when his teammates were restrained by Real Madrid's defensive players, and when the team had difficulty creating opportunities in the frontcourt, Messi decided to do it himself!
Because he doesn't want to lose to Real Madrid again!
...
In the 62nd minute, after Barcelona successfully intercepted the ball near the center line, Messi received the ball. When everyone thought that he would still make a long pass to the frontcourt to find his teammates as before, the Argentine player suddenly took the ball by himself. The ball goes forward.
Messi's dribbling speed is very fast, quickly entered Real Madrid's 30-meter area, and went straight to the penalty area.
Mascherano returned to his position immediately, trying to block Messi at the front of the penalty area.
Both players are teammates of the Argentine national team. Mascherano has a lot of experience on how to limit Messi, but the Argentine midfielder is not young and the game consumes a lot. Facing the menacing Messi, he tried to grab The first time, Messi shook him and cut inside.
After passing the defensive player's inside cut, Messi almost never misses.
What's more terrible is that Mascherano consumed a lot of energy, and after being swung past, he failed to entangle Messi in the first place.
Just after the Argentine superstar passed Messi, he suddenly took a long shot and hit a volley from the outside of the penalty area.
If the left side of the penalty area is Yang Yang's area, then the right side of the penalty area is dubbed by the media and fans as Messi's Corridor. The Argentine superstar suddenly hits the goal in this position, which is quite threatening and the angle is extremely tricky.
The ball passed Javi Martinez and Courtois flew sideways to block it.
But in Real Madrid's penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped in behind, and before Ramos made a clearance, he stabbed lightly and saved the shot from Courtois, which made up for Real Madrid's goal.
Two to one!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
"Ronaldo! Ronaldo!!! Ronaldo!!!"
The Barcelona fans in the entire stadium are boiling again!
Two to one, Barcelona took the lead again!
Cristiano Ronaldo turned and rushed out of the field excitedly, while Luis Enrique on the sidelines rushed directly to the sidelines and jumped high, waving his fists to celebrate his team's lead again.
Messi finally broke out!
He suppressed himself throughout the game and served the team, but seeing that the frontcourt couldn't open the situation, he finally couldn't help but exploded.
He suddenly jumped into the attack and caught Real Madrid's defenders by surprise.
Two to one, Barcelona's lead again allowed the team to regain morale, but it also seriously hit Real Madrid's fighting spirit.
This time falling behind is even more severe than the situation faced by conceding a goal in the opening three minutes.
At that time, they still had 90 minutes to catch up slowly, but now it is only half an hour.
Time waits for no one and Real Madrid is running out of time.
...
"This is a superstar! This is Messi!"
In the stands, Valdano shook his head and sighed.
Living in the shadow of Yang Yang for a long time, many people have forgotten that Messi often kills all sides when facing other teams except Real Madrid.
"Javier Mascherano is not as good as it used to be." Florentino sighed.
Who said no?
Although he is only 31 years old, his physical function has indeed declined a lot, but on the other hand, Messi is at the peak of his career in terms of body and experience. This is why Mascherano failed to block Messi just now. .
If it is at its peak, the Argentine midfielder will not be easily swayed by Messi.
Of course, even if he is not in his best form, Mascherano is still one of the top midfielders in European football.
"There is not much time left and we need at least one more goal."
After Real Madrid scored another goal and equalized the score, the two sides were able to enter overtime and even the final penalty shootout.
But if, in the next half hour, Real Madrid can't score any more goals, they will eventually lose the final and hand over the Champions League title to Barcelona.
"Isn't it time for a substitution?" Florentino asked with a frown.
But there was no movement on Ancelotti's side, but there were some changes on Barcelona's side.
I saw Harvey walk out of the bench and ran to the sidelines to warm up, which made the Barcelona fans in the stands rejoice. I don't know if this Barcelona midfielder is going to come off the bench? Or just out to warm up?
On the court, Yang Yang kept comforting and encouraging his teammates, and he obviously still didn't give up.
But this time, can he lead the team out of the predicament again like he did just now?
Neither Florentino nor Valdano has much confidence.
Time is really running out.
