Chapter 286 Barcelona’s Resilience!

The background of the competition between Messi and Li Mo is this game.

There is no personal friendship between the two, so naturally there is no personal grudge.

But everyone knows.

As opponents.

The two will definitely not hold back in such a head-on confrontation.

Iniesta continued to take the corner kick.

But this time it was not a tactical corner kick, after all, it had just come once.

If the same routine comes again, Real Madrid will definitely be on guard.

Messi's shot before made Real Madrid alert.

Therefore, this time Iniesta chose to send the ball directly to the goal.

However, Barcelona's high-altitude ball ability is not strong, and Real Madrid's central defenders Ramos and Varane are both defenders with strong ability to defend high-altitude balls head-on.

Therefore, this time, Ramos easily cleared the ball.

The football was headed out of the penalty area by him.

Bale got the ball on the left.

As soon as he was about to stop the ball, Busquets rushed up and planned to foul directly.

But Bale was prepared for this. He pushed the ball out and turned around.

Busquets failed to catch the speeding Bale and was rushed by him.

"Balle's pass. Beautiful! Real Madrid's counterattack is coming!"

Amid the boos of the entire Camp Nou stadium, there was a cry of surprise from the commentary booth.

Amid the boos of Barcelona fans.

Bale strode and ran with the ball on the wing.

At the same time.

Real Madrid's other two forwards Li Mo and Di Maria also advanced at high speed.

Real Madrid fired three arrows at once!

Barcelona players hurried back to defense.

When attacking from a corner kick before.

Pique went up.

The defenders left behind were Alba, Mascherano, and Alves.

The three players were not very tall and were quite fast.

The significance of their staying on the periphery was, on the one hand, to compete for the second landing point, and on the other hand, to prevent the opponent's counterattack.

Alba rushed up quickly.

Direct tackle!

Bale didn't go for a head-on fight. He wouldn't risk getting shoveled for a counterattack, so he jumped up and the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Alba.

After landing, Bale immediately waved to the ball boy on the sidelines.

"Quick! Ball!"

The Welshman shouted.

But the ball boy ignored him.

Because the ball boy was a young player from La Masia.

How could he give him the ball to make a fast break?

But fortunately

The ball shoveled out by Alba hit the billboard and bounced back.

Bale picked it up and threw the ball out of bounds.

"Bale, take the ball out of bounds! Modric received the ball and passed it along the sideline!"

The first time Modric received the ball, he pushed the ball forward with his right foot without waiting for the ball to land.

As the ball rushed forward.

Bale had already started to speed up along the sideline!

The counterattack that was slightly interrupted by Alba was now continued!

Bale's forward insertion made the Barcelona players very nervous.

Because everyone knows that Bale is very fast.

For a moment.

Mascherano and Alves both moved closer to Bale.

Although they knew that Li Mo was also threatening.

But now the ball was on Bale's side.

While running.

Bale looked up at Li Mo's position.

Now Li Mo was running along the offside line.

At the same time

Messi was not far from him!

When did Messi return to this position?

Bale didn't have time to think about it.

Because, with Messi's defensive ability.

He would never pose a threat to Li Mo.

Therefore, as soon as he caught up with the ball.

Bale chose to sweep the ball across the middle with great force.

"Li Mo!!!!"

The commentators were excited.

Although Messi was behind Li Mo.

But everyone knew.

Defense is not just about enthusiasm.

Sure enough.

While Li Mo received the ball.

With one hand open, he held Messi down with his big body.

Then he took the ball into the penalty area.

He exerted force on his feet and shook off Messi.

Right foot, sweeping shot!

Ter Stegen left the goal immediately.

But he ran halfway.

The ball was already swept towards the goal.

Ter Stegen's reaction should have been fast enough.

But he was still a step slower when he got to the ground.

The ball went through between his fingertips and the grass.

He turned his head hurriedly to look.

What he saw was the scene of the ball rolling over the goal line.

The ball went in!

"Li Mo! Li Mo! Li Mo! The ball went in!!"

In the commentary booth, Ole Gross raised his arms and shouted.

"In the 19th minute of the game! Real Madrid scored the first goal!"

"Barcelona almost suppressed the offense in this game, but Real Madrid's counterattack ruined all Barcelona's efforts!"

"Real Madrid's front trident destroyed Barcelona with their speed!"

"Messi Messi is very active in returning to defense, but in terms of defense, it is really difficult for him to beat Li Mo in a one-on-one situation!"

"Barcelona fell behind at home! If they lose this game, they will be 13 points behind Real Madrid, which is almost impossible to catch up with!"

At the moment when the football crossed the goal line.

The whole Camp Nou seemed like a frozen planet.

All Barcelona fans held their heads in their hands, and their expectations were dashed.

Real Madrid, leading!

As a mortal enemy.

Barcelona fans know Real Madrid very well.

They know very well.

Once Real Madrid takes the lead, the possibility of being reversed is very small.

This season, Real Madrid won all the games after Real Madrid scored first - but then again, Real Madrid didn't lose points in a few games this season.

When Barcelona fans saw Li Mo open his arms and smile to welcome Real Madrid players coming from all directions.

They finally reacted.

Boos were heard everywhere.

The whole stadium suddenly came alive.

But the ending could not be changed.

Barcelona, ​​now one goal behind.

After scoring, Li Mo didn't celebrate too wildly.

Although it was worth celebrating to break Barcelona's goal.

But it was just one goal.

Li Mo didn't need to be too ecstatic.

He had a smile on his face.

He looked very calm.

But other Real Madrid players were very excited.

Li Mo had won Barcelona many times.

But Real Madrid had a hard time meeting Barcelona in the past few years.

This season, they were able to stay relaxed when meeting Barcelona like now, all thanks to Li Mo.

Barcelona players were a little frustrated.

They knew.

I might be defeated by Real Madrid twice.

At the same time, losing this game also means that they have withdrawn from the competition for the league championship.

Nothing can frustrate Barcelona players more than watching their arch-rival Real Madrid march towards the La Liga championship step by step - because they find that they can't seem to stop Real Madrid from winning the championship.

The gap is so big.

This has never been seen in these years.

10 points.

After losing, the difference is 13 points.

This gap.

It can already show that Real Madrid now seems to be a level higher than Barcelona.

Messi supported his knees with both hands, staring at Li Mo's back breathlessly.

He seemed to be getting further and further away.

The other players of Barcelona were also a little confused.

They prepared for this game for a long time.

This is their home court. After the game started, their state was also good, and their offense repeatedly created threats.

It stands to reason.

In this game, the right time, right place and right people are all on Barcelona's side.

But. Real Madrid won the game with just one counterattack!

Where can you go to make sense of this.

With just this one chance, Li Mo scored a goal.

Enrique shook his head repeatedly on the sidelines.

He himself didn't know what to say.

If Barcelona's players were in bad shape and lost the ball, he would have accepted it.

But the team's shape in this game was obviously very good.

But the result was still a loss of the ball first.

Enrique himself was hit hard, and you can imagine how much the Barcelona players on the field were demoralized by this loss.

Enrique took a deep breath.

As a head coach, he couldn't show too much frustration.

He clapped his hands and shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Don't be discouraged, it's just a loss! Cheer up!"

But that's what he said.

But then, Enrique sat in the coaching seat for a while, and then stood up on the sidelines.

He looked quite restless.

"Barcelona lost the ball when they were attacking fiercely. Real Madrid's counterattack was very sharp. Even with only one chance, they took the lead."

Ore Gross said with emotion.

"Real Madrid's lineup is already very strong, and in some key attempts, their players can also put down their posture, give up possession of the ball, and concentrate on counterattacks, which makes this team even more terrifying. Such a team with a world-class lineup and can also play so pragmatically, such a team is quite terrifying!"

"Bale, Di Maria, and Li Mo, such a trident to push the counterattack is the nightmare of any defense in this world. If Barcelona loses this game, they will be 13 points behind Real Madrid, which means that Real Madrid basically has no opponent in the La Liga competition this season!"

"This is something that Barcelona fans cannot accept."

"Li Mo's goal is equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on Barcelona's head."

In fact, this is not cold water.

This is obviously ice water.

Barcelona's morale is almost at the freezing point.

After the game started.

Barcelona's players were obviously a little absent-minded.

They were all a little scared.

A counterattack and lost the ball.

They are now a little afraid to press forward.

After all, Qiu Yan of Barcelona is also a human being, they will also be afraid and their emotions will fluctuate.

They are confused at this time and don't know what they should do.

Continue to press forward?

What if they are counterattacked? The opponent's counterattack is too terrible.

If they don't press forward, they will fall behind again.

Losing this game means completely losing the possibility of winning the La Liga title.

With this mentality.

Barcelona's performance plummeted.

Compared with their performance before losing the ball, Barcelona can't even organize the pass now.

On the one hand, the mentality is unbalanced, which leads to more mistakes.

On the other hand, the 11 Barcelona players on the field have different ideas.

Some players think that since they have lost the ball, they might as well give it a try.

Some players think that they should stabilize the defense and stabilize the situation after losing the ball.

Under such circumstances.

Barcelona also lost its advantage on the field.

Real Madrid quickly launched a fierce offensive.

Li Mo turned around after receiving the pass at the front of the penalty area and faced Barcelona's goal head-on.

Modric quickly pressed into the penalty area to help Li Mo open up space.

Li Mo made a shooting move. It seems that Modric moved forward to help take away the defender, and Li Mo completed the shot. It was a very reasonable offensive coordination routine.

Barcelona's players also had no doubts about him.

It was no secret that Li Mo was the top scorer of Real Madrid.

In addition, Li Mo had already scored in this game, so Barcelona's players were more alert to him.

So.

When Li Mo raised his foot and made a shooting motion.

This action seemed to turn Li Mo into a huge magnet.

The huge magnetic field attracted the attention of almost all Barcelona's defensive players at once.

They all moved closer to Li Mo.

In the process of moving.

A gap appeared.

The fleeting gap was caught by Li Mo.

He suddenly landed and poked with his toes.

The football passed through the defensive players.

"Modric!!!"

In the exclamation of the commentator.

Modric, who was pressing forward to the penalty area, received the ball.

He stopped the ball comfortably in the penalty area, and then calmly shot with his right foot - he could get such a large space in the penalty area, which shows how much other Barcelona players valued Li Mo.

Modric glanced at the goal and kicked the ball hard with his right foot.

It was goalkeeper Ter Stegen who saved Barcelona.

He flew to save the ball, almost at the limit, and blocked the ball with his fingertips. The football changed direction and hit the crossbar with a bang and bounced back, and was cleared by Mascherano.

The whole Camp Nou screamed that they had survived the disaster.

Mascherano, who had cleared the ball, clapped his arms hard: "Come on! We can't lose the ball anymore!!"

"Don't worry, don't worry! Control the situation!"

Xavi pressed down with both hands.

"Pass more! Pass more! Don't be afraid of them! It's just a lost ball!"

Iniesta pointed his fingers at his temples.

Under the encouragement of these old players.

Barcelona quickly unified their thoughts.

They also realized that if they continued to lose the ball, they would really have no hope at all.

It has to be said.

Barcelona, ​​a team that once reached the pinnacle, was called the cosmic team, and was even considered by many to be the strongest team in history at its peak.

There is still a certain resilience.

Modric held his head with both hands.

He thought the ball was a sure win.

Who would have thought that Ter Stegen could make such an extreme save at this moment.

Li Mo was also very sorry.

But he did not blame Modric for wasting his second pass.

He ran to the penalty area and patted Modric on the shoulder.

"It's okay, let's look for the next opportunity!"

"Okay!"

Modric also adjusted his mentality.

They looked at the Barcelona players who were encouraging each other in the penalty area.

They smiled at each other.

If the opponent is a piece of trash.

Even if they win.

What sense of accomplishment can they have? (End of this chapter)
