Chapter 567 Fading the long hair, the demeanor of a king

Coman, who was wearing a down coat, paced back and forth on the field with his hands in his pockets.

After seeing Real Madrid's goal, he spread his hands and yelled towards the field.

Alba's offense is stronger than defense, and he has long expected that the wing will be targeted.

But he didn't expect that Alba's protection of the space behind him was really bad.

A full back, instead of marking the opponent's winger, retreats to the center to defend, which in itself is a huge mistake.

Moreover, Langley has already formed a protection for the center.

Alba's move, on the contrary, feigned Langley's shot, failing to occupy the middle area in time.

This behavior is similar to Pique's splitting his hands.

Real Madrid quickly equalized the score. After losing control of the game, Barcelona felt unprecedented tension when facing Real Madrid's attacks again and again.

This sense of tension made the two sides extremely fierce in the strangulation and competition in the midfield.

In the 24th minute, Casemiro brought down Messi who wanted to break through in the right rib area outside the penalty area. He was verbally warned by the referee and gave Barcelona a free kick in a good position.

Messi's free kick passed through the center of the Real Madrid wall, fell rapidly, bounced in front of the goal, and rubbed against the post to get out of the bottom line.

Courtois was shocked into a cold sweat, and kept using gestures to tell his teammates that when lining up the wall, there should be no gaps between the players and let Messi shoot.

Two minutes later, Bell's breakthrough also caused a foul by the Barcelona defender, and Real Madrid got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Kroos crossed the ball into the center of the box and Rossi headed it in.

However, both Barcelona's defensive players and the linesman raised their hands, indicating that Rossi was suspected of offside.

The referee applied for a VAR review. At the moment Kroos passed the ball, Rossi was almost on the same level as the opposing center back Lenglet.

If it must be said to be offside, it was when Rossi started, with his arm a little forward.

In the end, the referee declared the goal invalid and changed the ball to Barcelona.

Under the leadership of the two trump cards, the offenses of both sides intensified.

Barcelona came to a team to shoot together on the front foot, and Real Madrid must respond with a quick counterattack on the back foot, and the pace of the game continued to accelerate.

So far, the two sides have been neck-and-neck in terms of ball possession and have almost the same number of threats.

But in terms of mistakes, Barcelona made far more mistakes than Real Madrid.

Especially the backcourt defense, without the veteran Pique, Lenglet seems to be unable to take on the important task of Barcelona's defense.

And the teenager Araujo is even under high pressure, and he will be nervous and unstable when holding the ball.

In the 39th minute, he kicked the clearance ball directly to Real Madrid striker Benzema.

Fortunately, De Jong returned to the defense in time to interfere with Benzema's shot and resolve the danger.

In contrast, Real Madrid's defense is very stable, and the players' mentality is also very relaxed.

But I can't stand Messi's superb performance.

The Argentine king frequently took the ball from the midfield to organize or break through with the ball, disrupting Real Madrid's defense and getting a chance to shoot.

It's just that the Barcelona players were a little hasty when it came to finishing the goal.

In the face of Barcelona's offense, Zidane did not have unnecessary worries on his face.

Because he knows that it is impossible for Messi to maintain such a superb state until the end of the game, he will be tired sooner or later.

What Zidane is thinking about now is what kind of substitution adjustments should be made during the second half of the game.

Is it up to Valverde, Isco, or Odegaard to tear apart Barcelona's dense defense from the center?

During the intermission, Zidane watched the players panting heavily while thinking about the adjustments in the second half.

If the current rhythm continues, the two sides are very likely to enter overtime.

This is not what Zidane wants to see.

The 30 minutes of overtime will increase the physical fatigue of the players, which will affect the subsequent games.

What's more, Real Madrid will go to participate in the Club World Cup next, and the schedule will be more compact than Barcelona.

Overtime is something they can't afford.

After thinking of this layer, Zidane immediately asked Valverde, Isco, Asensio, and Vinicius to warm up.

This is a signal to strengthen the frontcourt attack.

Entering the second half, Koeman clearly felt that Real Madrid was speeding up.

They will form the premise and adopt a high-pressure pressing mode.

This is in the arms of Barcelona.

The purpose of high-position pressing is to suppress the opponent's attack in the half court, so that it cannot spread to the own half court. It is an active strategy of attacking and defending.

After stealing the ball, he can launch a quick counterattack in the frontcourt and threaten the goal within seconds.

But the risks are equally huge.

Because the oppressive formation is too forward, once the ball is selected by the opponent, the huge space behind him becomes a fatal area for the opponent's striker to rampage wantonly.

In order to alleviate the huge defensive pressure brought by Real Madrid's frontcourt oppression, Messi retreated to the midfield and participated in the team's outings.

[Messi's game desire is very high today! 】

[It's rare to see him withdrawing from such a deep position to take the ball, and then rushing forward! 】

[This is very demanding on physical fitness! 】

[With his activeness, Barcelona's offense is now very smooth! 】

[Look at this time, Barcelona's attack is coming! 】

As the game intensified, the atmosphere of the fans also increased.

Every time Messi and Rossi took the ball, the fans cheered.

Messi took the ball in the midfield, got rid of Cross's interception, and distributed it to Durst on the wing.

Facing Marcelo's defense, Durst passed the ball back, and after completing a wonderful one-two with De Jong, he pushed the ball to the baseline.

Barcelona's sudden acceleration caused a disconnect between Real Madrid's midfield and defense lines.

Near the penalty area line, no Real Madrid player blocked this area.

Whenever a Barcelona player appears here to catch the ball, it will definitely pose a threat.

However, it is Barcelona's strongest killer, and it suddenly kills.

[The ribs are empty! 】

[Barcelona's opportunity is here! 】

[Messi! 】

【Shoot! ! ! ! ! 】

Messi's shot instantly detonated the audience.

His golden left foot, like a cruise missile, strikes the target precisely and swiftly.

Courtois was prepared enough and reacted absolutely quickly, but he couldn't stop Messi's tricky shot from an angle.

boom!

The ball hit the inside of the near post and bounced into the net, theoretically an absolute dead end.

yeah! ! ! ! !

The extremely excited Barcelona fans raised their fists high after Messi scored a goal, jumped up from their seats, and raised their arms and shouted.

[Messi! ! ! 】

【Save the team again! 】

【He started attacking from the midfield! 】

[Finally seal the throat with a sword in the restricted area! 】

[All the defensive players in Real Madrid can't keep up with his footsteps! 】

【It's really scary! 】

After scoring a goal, Messi roared and celebrated in a rare way, venting his emotions.

At this moment, let all Barcelona fans dream back to the Argentine teenager with long hair fluttering.

Today, Messi, who has lost his long hair, grown a beard, and is more stable in his gestures, is already the captain of Barcelona.

He's still saving the team.
