Chapter 549 Messi is tired, Rossi entered again

The sluggish state of Pique and Busquets also reflects from the side a serious internal problem currently existing in the Barcelona club: salary cuts!

During Bartomeu's tenure, Barcelona offered high wages to the players in the team, which caused the club's annual player wages to rise all the way to 5.6 million euros, making the Catalonia team the most expensive in the world. team.

However, as the team's signing expenditures surged, while the income continued to shrink, and under the combined influence of external environmental factors, Barcelona's finances once again appeared on a red alert.

Messi, 7075.8 million euros.

Griezmann, 4583.4 million euros.

De Jong, 2083.4 million euros.

Busquets, 1494.9 million euros.

Pique, 1274 million euros.

Dembele, 1200 million euros.

Umtiti, 1200 million euros.

There are as many as 1000 players in the Barcelona team with an annual salary of more than 7 million euros.

Except for Messi and De Jong, the performance of others is not worthy of their salary at all.

Player salary cuts are an important means for clubs to reduce financial pressure.

Among them, Pique and Busquets are fluctuating due to their age. As the team's meritorious service, they should be respected.

However, the chairman of the club has decided to cut the salary of the whole team to tide over the difficulties. For this reason, he also met with the big brothers of the team headed by Messi and Pique.

Although the specific details have not been announced, the performance of Pique and Busquets can be analyzed from one angle, and the amount of Barcelona's salary cut this time is huge.

Off-court factors actually affect the performance of players on the court.

In the attack just now, after Pique was attracted, he immediately stepped forward to block Benzema.

This choice is actually correct.

But he ignored the space behind him that Rossi could insert at any time.

As long as he glanced to one side, he would not come forward so easily.

And then there's Busquets.

He was too focused on Benzema, ignoring Rossi who accelerated from behind.

And when Rossi started, he was basically in a balanced position with himself.

But as Rossi continued to move forward and suddenly accelerated to break through, Busquets did not chase back immediately, but handed him over to Pique for defense.

The consequence of lack of communication was that the score was equalized.

Barcelona seems to have hoarded a large number of troops in the middle, ready to strangle.

In fact, the protection of the large restricted area arc is obviously insufficient.

This is a serious and deadly problem.

At the end of the first half, Barcelona's defense had problems again.

When Nacho took the ball from the wing, all four of Barcelona's defensive players had already settled in the penalty area, lined up, marking Rossi who was pressing in the middle.

But outside the penalty area, Benzema and Vinicius were unmarked at all.

Barcelona is completely in a vacuum in the area between the back line and the midfielder.

It wasn't until Nacho crossed that De Jong rushed over and pushed Benzema from behind.

Yellow card + free kick.

Coman's gloomy face, his hands in his pockets, walked back and forth on the sidelines, and the anger in his heart was beyond words.

After Real Madrid finishes this free kick attack, it will enter the intermission.

Koeman is thinking about how to adjust the team.

If the players maintain such a sluggish state and low ball possession rate, then in the 45 minutes of the second half, Barcelona will encounter a crazy counterattack by Real Madrid.

But what he didn't expect was that the players failed to withstand Real Madrid's offensive pressure in the last minute of the first half.

Rossi feigned a kick to attract the attention of Barcelona's defense, and Kroos passed the ball to the back point.

After the captain Ramos stopped the ball with his chest, he swung it up and shot without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.

Neto's reaction was fast enough, but he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net.

Inside the Camp Nou, it was once again surrounded by loud sounds of disappointment.

Ramos's shot is certainly wonderful.

But before he shot, no Barcelona player interfered with him, which made Koeman get up and return to the locker room without waiting for the whistle to blow.

"Is this the tactic I arranged before the game? Even my grandma can easily pass through the gaps you exposed."

"Pressing, sticking tight, counter-grabbing. I don't see any of these three points."

After returning to the locker room, the Barcelona players accepted Koeman's rant blankly.

They also knew how bad their performance was in the first half. The rhythm was always on Real Madrid's side, and they could only get their share by being led by the nose.

Under such circumstances, they can only pin their hopes on Messi.

This makes the Argentine king a little overwhelmed.

"This is Camp Nou. You are great Barcelona players. Looking at your room of honor, which trophy was not won by hard work."

"In the second half, you have to tell your opponents that we not only have possession of the ball, but also the most intense confrontation and counter-attack, so that Real Madrid fears us from the bottom of their hearts."

"Take back our position as the supremacy of La Liga."

After Koeman roared excitedly, the Barcelona players regained some fighting spirit in their eyes and echoed them one after another.

As the captain, Messi gathered his teammates together, put their hands on each other, formed a circle, and shouted "Come on" three times in unison.

At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona started to press frantically.

They set the formation premise very high, burning the flames of war to Real Madrid's half, and the offensive was raging for a while.

Messi is very active on the offensive end and has repeatedly threatened Real Madrid's goals.

On the defensive end, he also worked very hard, sometimes even returning to his own half to steal Vinicius.

His outstanding performance earned him rounds of applause from the fans.

However, Barcelona failed to score and the attack soon weakened.

Although Barcelona emphasized the enthusiasm of fighting in the opening game, there was no change in the level and creativity of the offense.

They can push the ball across Real Madrid's half without any problems, but Barcelona can't do it in the field.

Except for the occasional flash of Messi's inspiration and the use of personal abilities to create threats, Barcelona has done nothing most of the time.

Hey!

After a sigh, there were dissatisfied boos from the home fans.

Casemiro's tackle on Messi did not foul, and he only gave the frontcourt a throw-in.

It can be seen from Messi's slightly unconfident protest expression that Casemiro's defense was successful.

"are you tired!"

Just as Messi was sitting on the turf arranging the shin pads, a big hand reached out.

He looked up and it was Rossi.

Entering the second half, Messi not only had to attack, but also retreated deeply to defend, and soon showed fatigue.

"Thank you!"

Messi held out his hand and was helped by Rossi to his feet.

"Time is running out, what else can you do?" Rossi asked with great interest.

If it was changed to before, Messi would definitely answer yes without hesitation.

But at this moment, he was a little choked up.

"I will beat you!"

After leaving this sentence, Messi quickly entered his offensive position, ready to attack.

The problem of Barcelona's frontal weakness has begun since the dismissal of Suarez.

In this summer, Barcelona did not strengthen the center position accordingly.

Koeman is more willing to reuse the teenager Fati.

But judging from the performance of this game, Fati couldn't support the team's offense at all when facing a strong team.

After the throw-in, Fati wanted to stop the ball with his back, but was entangled by Casemiro behind him.

Ramos came from the other side and worked together to intercept the ball.

Shui Ye, who turned into a forward, dribbled the ball all the way from the middle, and the reaction of Barcelona's defensive players was obviously half a beat slower.

When advancing to the third of the opponent's half, Ramos passed the ball forward.

At the moment of passing, Rossi and Pique were still on the same starting line.

In the next second, Rossi had thrown away Pique by a distance of one meter, and rushed to the penalty area after receiving the ball.

Goalkeeper Neto quickly attacked, while blocking the shot angle, and Pique double-teamed Rossi.

As the circle formed by the two became smaller and smaller, the space for Rossi to shoot was also severely compressed

But he still grabbed the ball before the goalkeeper, picked the ball up, and jumped high to avoid being tripped by the goalkeeper.

The ball also passed the goalkeeper's defense, bouncing towards the far corner of the goal and rolling towards the goal.

Before landing, Rossi kept his eyes fixed on the trajectory of the ball.

Another central defender, Langley, desperately chased back. When the ball was about to cross the goal line, he fell to the ground and slid the tackle. Unfortunately, he was still a step short and dribbled the ball into the net together.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! ! 】

【Rosie, it's Rosie again! 】

[He was double-teamed by the opponent's two defensive players, and he shot the ball lightly and scored! 】

[No matter what situation you are in, Rossi can always deal with it chicly! 】

[He killed the game in the 78th minute! 】
