Chapter 959: Equalizing the Score, Guardiola’s Unsolvable Worries
It was Khedira, who became the first barrier to snipe Messi, but Messi's change of direction in the middle was too fast. Although he was tall, his rhythm was too slow, and Messi still got rid of him. Alonso moved sideways from the left, but Messi changed direction again, giving Alonso no chance to adjust.
"Shoot!"
Snapped!
The ball rushed towards the lower left corner of the goal. A swift mid-high ball suddenly fell in the air, bounced to the ground and then flew up again.
Duang!
Center pillar!
Messi's shot also hit the post.
"damn it!"
"Ahhh!"
"Almost killed the game."
The fans at Camp Nou were very excited.
"Messi,"
"Messi,"
"Messi!"
On Catalan TV, Stojkov cheered: "Messi is playing more and more resolutely. This is the Messi we need. This is the Messi of the king. This is something we can't do at the Bernabeu." Please get it done at Camp Nou, all Barcelona fans hope you can do it!"
"Come on, Leo Messi!"
"It's still a little bit worse. Messi's shooting should be more stable, it's not enough!" Cruyff still complained. Of course, his criticisms were drowned in the crowd. Messi is already playing like this, and you still want to say something bad about him?
After Adan got the ball, he handed it to Carvajal. Carvajal passed it directly to Ozil. Ozil had no time to adjust. Iniesta rushed to his side. Today's Barcelona players The enthusiasm was stronger than at other times, and Ozil could only knock the ball horizontally to Alonso.
"careful!"
As soon as Khedira's reminder came out, Villa rushed out from behind Alonso. With a thief stab, Alonso actually lost the ball.
Villa also worked hard, maybe he felt the pressure brought to him by Neymar on the bench.
The ball is broken!
Villa immediately handed the ball to Busquets, who passed the ball straight!
Still looking for Messi!
"Messi again!"
call,
This time, Khedira and other teammates didn't have time to get close to Messi, because Alonso's ball was thrown too unexpectedly, and who knew Villa would actually run over and sneak attack.
Messi started unmarked and no one could stop him. Although Marcelo ran over from the wing, Messi had already passed through the entire Real Madrid defense.
"Messi!"
"Messi!"
Under the cheers of excited Barcelona fans, Messi went straight into the right wing of the penalty area and received the ball with his right foot.
Adan struck out at exactly this time, and there was Pepe in front of him trying to interfere with Messi, but it was impossible to make it in time.
Messi gently moved his right foot to adjust the ball to his left foot, and then pushed the inside of his left foot to hit the far corner!
Snapped.
Adam has the right hand of God! He actually hit the ball.
Didn't make it!
"Ah, the ball was saved, Adam, Adam! Miraculous Adam! Holy Adam!"
"The ball didn't go in, Pepe cleared it with a big kick."
"No, the ball was still at the feet of the Barcelona player. Puyol tipped the ball to Xavi, and Xavi passed it directly to Suarez. Suarez knocked back and it was Iniesta who got the ball again!"
Accelerating with his right foot, Alonso was thrown away. He looked up and saw Messi being blocked by Khedira. Iniesta simply accelerated again! Facing Pepe, he gritted his teeth and ate it.
But he still underestimated Pepe's long legs, and seemed to realize that Iniesta would do this. When Iniesta rushed, Pepe's right foot had already stretched out in a big step, and it got stuck. position, and then raised his right arm slightly.
Iniesta himself is not tall, but Pepe succeeded and Iniesta fell to the right.
"foul!"
The fans in the stands almost shouted in unison. In fact, they didn't see anything. They just saw Iniesta fall and yelled subconsciously.
But there was no whistle at all, and neither the referee nor the linesman saw Pepe's hidden foul.
Of course Pepe didn't care. He calmly pushed the ball forward. Dong Fangzhuo quickly came back to get the ball, flicked the outside of his left foot, and then turned to the right. Although Busquets followed closely, there was no clue. Dong Fangzhuo easily got rid of him without the ball, and Busquets could only grit his teeth and chase after him.
Alonso, who received the ball on the right, did not dare to stop the ball this time. He pushed directly to the left and the ball fell back to Dong Fangzhuo's feet again. Facing the little Harvey, Dong Fangzhuo accelerated in a straight line! Ignore Harvey's help.
Well……
As we walked up at a fast pace, the distance between us and Harvey became wider and wider. This scene looked so exciting!
"Stop him quickly!"
Guardiola lost his grace on the sidelines and shouted loudly. He was also stimulated by Dong Fangzhuo's speed.
Pique was stunned for a moment, but Puyol finally rushed forward bravely. The captain is the captain, so capable!
Dong Fangzhuo's speed did not slow down, and he made a pendulum pass. The continuous shaking made Puyol who rushed out instantly bewildered. Even if he is the most experienced veteran on the court, he can't do anything about this momentary predicament.
In just a flash, Dong Fangzhuo had dribbled into the left side of the penalty area.
It's so fast, like a phantom.
"Shoot!"
Huang Jianxiang shouted.
At that moment, the Camp Nou stadium was too quiet, and everyone was silent.
We can only rely on Valdes!
Valdes could only subconsciously throw himself to the ground, trying to block Dong Fangzhuo's shooting angle.
But!
Not a shot?
Whoa, the ball flew sideways behind Puyol and past Pique.
At the other end, Ronaldo came out and pushed the instep of his right foot!
Snapped--
The ball penetrated into the lower right corner of the goal quickly and powerfully. .
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo!"
No one expected that Dong Fangzhuo did not choose to shoot after getting rid of Puyol just now, but chose to pass the ball to the back point.
This calmness is terrible.
Maybe he felt that the shooting angle was not good enough to hit the ball in, and then chose to pass the ball across to Ronaldo.
After all, Pique's eyes are also focused on Dong Fangzhuo. As long as Ronaldo gets the ball, it will be an empty goal opportunity.
So Dong Fangzhuo passed it on.
Of course, the premise is that Ronaldo is responding there. If it were someone else, Dong Fangzhuo might not pass the ball.
Ronaldo, who scored the goal, first glanced at the linesman because he was worried about being offside.
As a result, the linesman did not lift the ball, the ball went in, and the goal was valid.
His face instantly burst into a smile, and while pointing at Dong Fangzhuo, he rushed over to celebrate.
"1:1,"
"Real Madrid equalized!"
"The exquisite cooperation between Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo, their partnership is unique in the world."
※※※※
"It's so damn good,"
"This ball..."
Stoikov pursed his lips, feeling shocked.
"Everyone on earth knows that Chinese directors generally cut to the left, just like Ronaldo back then. His favorite was to go to the left. Puyol should have blocked to the left just now. Alas..."
He complained about Puyol.
Cruyff shook his head, he didn't say anything, he just muttered in his heart, block to the left? What if Dong Zai changes direction to the right? This kind of thing like betting cannot be established at all, because when you bet, the other party is also betting. This is not a solution at all...
※※※※
"There is no solution. When Chinese Dong takes the ball and fights one-on-one, the opponent has no idea what he is doing next."
"It's really hard to stop him without his teammates around him."
"This is the scariest thing about Dong. Unlike Messi, when Messi gets the ball, everyone knows that he likes to change direction to the left. Even if he can't keep up with his pace, he can still block it. But Dong ?Look at Puyol’s expression at this time, he probably wants to die.”
"It's 1:1. Real Madrid did not fall behind. Although the situation was at a disadvantage, Chinese Dong and Ronaldo completed a coordination and scored the equalizing goal."
"That's what superstars are like. In passive situations, they can always perform amazingly. They have never disappointed, and that's the case now. It's impossible for Barcelona to eat Real Madrid at home."
※※※※
In the Plaza de Madrid, under the statue of Bassan, Admiral of King Felipe II, the cheers of the Madrid fans gathered here to watch the game were deafening.
Nearly two hundred thousand fans sat on the ground just to watch this game.
At this time, they had never had such confidence. Although Real Madrid had been lagging behind just now, they firmly believed that the team would be able to equalize the score. Although the equalizer goal came very late, it was not scored until the 40th minute.
"Why don't you shoot?" Ronaldo himself was a little surprised, and the two of them talked while walking back.
In fact, he never thought that Dong Fangzhuo would pass the ball over just now. He just followed up subconsciously and was ready to make a supplementary shot at any time.
"Because I knew you were on the other side and I was right."
"Ha ha!"
Ronaldo silently thought of Dong Fangzhuo, extremely happy...
※※※※
"Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo work together so well. Sometimes we even feel that Dong Fangzhuo is Cristiano Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo is Dong Fangzhuo. The two of them are indistinguishable from each other..."
beep,
When the game started again, Guardiola had already deployed new tactics on the sidelines. With the remaining time in the first half, he was not prepared to take risks. Then Barcelona began to play their most familiar ball control, and the midfield trio became busy again.
But at this time, something changed and Messi rushed back to ask for the ball.
Stimulated?
After Messi got the ball from Xavi, he lowered his head and took it up.
Center Suarez has been following him, but Messi did not pass the ball. Khedira was passed by him with his outside foot. This time Messi unexpectedly went outside!
In two sudden bursts, Messi had already rushed through the midfield with the ball, and then faced his national teammate Di Maria.
Before Di Maria could get close, Messi dunked his right foot and cut inside!
A accustomed way to break through, but no one can stop Messi.
Marcelo's short legs rushed over quickly, and Pepe in the middle also understood it, and the two men came over to double-team one on the left and the other on the right.
You can't let Messi rush over.
Suarez in the middle has already outflanked the ball and kept raising his hand to signal Messi to pass the ball to him. If he passes it to him, he can take the ball and face Cavalu alone.
But Messi didn't do that, he moved his right foot! Two small steps in a row, and then directly passed the ball over Pepe and Marcelo.
He wants to overpower Pepe and Marcelo.
wipe!
This is what Marcelo was waiting for. Although he is about the same size as Messi, he got stuck first and Messi directly bumped into him.
His left foot was firmly planted on the turf, taking the first step to occupy a favorable position.
boom--
Messi hit a wall hard and turned over...
beep,
The referee's whistle sounded, giving Barcelona a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.
"This foul is worth it!"
"Anyway, the angle is not very good, so it is difficult to form a direct shot."
"The referee didn't show his cards either. Marcelo did a good job."
Real Madrid's players quickly returned to defense and then formed a human wall. The tall Pique and captain Puyol both rushed forward.
Guardiola shook his head off the court. He originally told the team to stop playing, but Messi obviously wanted to continue attacking, which changed his mind.
But now I have a set piece in the frontcourt, which looks good...
Puyol, Pique, Busquets, and Suarez all rushed into Real Madrid's penalty area, while Villa rushed to the front point. Real Madrid's penalty area suddenly had five more Barcelona players.
Messi is still standing at the penalty spot, with Xavi next to him, and it seems that he is the one who will take the penalty.
The referee raised his hand to look at the time, then blew his whistle.
Sure enough, Messi moved.
A curve ball with his left foot.
call,
The ball flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
Direct shot!
Everyone pressed towards Real Madrid's goal at that moment.
The power is good and the angle is perfect, but the distance is too far. Adan had enough time to react...
Bo, like a grenade that failed to explode, it was tightly pressed under Adan's body.
At this moment, Dong Fangzhuo had already moved.
He is just one step ahead!
"Return to defense!"
"Return to defense!"
"Hurry back to defense!"
Guardiola was anxious on the sidelines, shouting loudly and jumping up and down at the same time.
He only has Dong Fangzhuo in his eyes.
Dong Fangzhuo's movement in the penalty area was too slow, and he rushed out of the penalty area in two or three steps.
But he didn't rush out alone. There was Busquets beside him. Busquets was not distracted. After missing the offensive opportunity, his eyes fell on Dong Fangzhuo.
When Dong Fangzhuo rushed out with long strides, he rushed towards Dong Fangzhuo without any hesitation.
As expected, Adan threw the ball towards Dong Fangzhuo! This is an obvious tactic!
We can't let him get the ball and rush over!
Busquets reacted immediately. He held his breath and rushed behind Dong Fangzhuo.
Before the ball even hit the ground, he suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed Dong Fangzhuo's waist. With his fingers closed, he grabbed Dong Fangzhuo's jersey and pulled Dong Fangzhuo away.
Beep!
The referee was really sharp-eyed and blew the whistle immediately.
Foul.
…
Dong Fangzhuo glanced sideways at Busquets and thought that this guy is really as careful as his hair.
Not only was he able to determine his own intentions, but he also used a foul to stop himself.
Professor Bu's name is really not false at all.
This offensive opportunity was destroyed by Busquets alone.
"Get back to defense quickly!"
"Return to defense!"
"Return to defense!"
Guardiola shouted while wiping sweat from his head.
The danger has finally been eliminated...
No, during the halftime break, players still need to strengthen their defensive awareness!
He was still wary of Dong Fangzhuo. Over the years, Dong Fangzhuo had given him the feeling of constant danger.
This has become a worry for Guardiola.
Real Madrid fans cursed.
"Holy crap, that Busquets is so bad, damn, he actually committed a foul in this position."
"If Dong Fangzhuo rushes past this ball, it will definitely be an opportunity."
"Although the distance is still very far, Dong Fangzhuo can rush over alone with the ball. Aren't there just Alves and Abidal left in front? Dong Fangzhuo can definitely rush over! Then dribble the ball to form a one-on-one shot."
Although it has become a fact, Real Madrid fans are really confident in Dong Fangzhuo.
Not to mention, Alves gave Busquets a thumbs up at this moment, as if to say, thank you, old man, if you hadn't taken action, it would have been really dangerous just now...
Cruyff also had lingering fears, and he talked eloquently.
"Fortunately, the Chinese director did not get the ball. If he had got the ball, he might have really formed a counterattack and might have scored a goal."
"This is definitely a skillful tactic developed by Mourinho. It has been shown in the first round before, and it has been done twice in this game. Guardiola really needs to pay attention. Don't stay too long when attacking. With a keen eye, no matter what the state, we must always pay attention to the movements of Chinese directors."
Stojkov gave a rare nod, acknowledging Cruyff's statement.
There is no way, Real Madrid has to switch to positional warfare...
The first half ended with a score of 1:1, with neither side deciding the outcome.
"That opportunity just now was such a pity." Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo walked down together, still talking about the counterattack opportunity just now.
"That guy is so cunning."
"I discovered last year that there are so many little tricks and bad intentions."
"He's a tough guy."
Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously also impressed by Busquets.
"It's okay, he can't keep an eye on me. I just didn't expect that in the second half, I would make him cry. When I get the ball in the second half, just focus on your movement. I don't believe they can guard it throughout the game. us."
In the locker room, Mourinho first applauded gently to express his recognition of everyone's performance in the first half.
The first half was pretty good. Although there were some goals conceded, there were generally no mistakes.
Then he changed his tone and said: "They will definitely replace Neymar in the second half, with Neymar on the left and Messi on the right. Our defense will become more difficult."
There was silence among the generals.
This is indeed an unsolvable task.
"what to do?"
