Chapter 287 Zidane Is Confident

Real Madrid got a chance very soon.

Li Mo's shot on the penalty area line was directly blocked by the tough guy Mascherano with his head.

Dare to use his face to catch Li Mo's goal.

Mascherano was desperate this time.

The football bounced off his face and went outside the penalty area.

Kroos received the ball and planned to continue to organize the attack.

But he heard the referee's whistle.

It turned out that Mascherano fell straight to the ground, which looked very scary.

The referee immediately stopped the game and signaled the team doctor to enter the stadium immediately.

On the football field.

It is actually very dangerous for players to use their heads to block shots.

When shooting, the speed of the football flying is often hundreds of kilometers per hour.

Although the skull is very hard, the brain is the most important organ of the human body after all (this concept is told to you by the brain).

Head injuries are often the highest priority and may endanger life.

In fact, many football players often suffer from head or cervical spine diseases after retirement.

This is actually because they often used headers when they were players.

According to FIFA regulations, header training is prohibited for youth football training under the age of 13.

The team doctor quickly entered the field. Mascherano was just a little confused, but not to the point of concussion.

After walking to the sidelines with the team doctor.

The game resumed.

And Mascherano's bravery seemed to inspire the fighting spirit of the Barcelona players.

They realized that they were fighting in Camp Nou.

If they didn't get back on track as soon as possible when they were behind, they would have to accept the fate of losing.

In the 22nd minute of the game.

Neymar made a breakthrough on the left and swept the ball into the penalty area.

Suarez met the ball and shot.

It was blocked by Ramos.

The football flew diagonally to Li Mo's feet.

In the area on the left side of the front of the penalty area.

Just as Li Mo was about to receive the ball, Messi rushed up at the first time.

When Li Mo saw the opponent rushing up from the corner of his eye, he was ready.

He picked up the ball.

Because of Messi's own conditions, this move was very effective.

The football flew over Messi's head.

And Li Mo turned from the other side.

"Beautiful!"

He Wei, the commentator of Longguo National Television, couldn't help but applaud.

"It's hard to imagine that a big guy like Li Mo also has such footwork. His passing reminds people of the former Dutch Ice Prince Bergkamp."

Just as He Wei was talking.

Li Mo continued to control the football falling from the air.

Then he passed it horizontally to Modric, who responded, and continued to tell him to move forward.

Modric didn't stop the ball and passed it directly to the front.

A simple two-on-one passed Barcelona midfielder Busquets.

Busquets was going to foul.

But he failed to hold Li Mo.

Li Mo could have fallen to the ground, rolled over, and covered his face to see if the referee had pulled out a card or something.

But there was no point in doing so—at least Li Mo thought it was meaningless.

A foul near the center circle, even if it was caught, how much use could it have?

It would be better to continue to maintain the speed of counterattack.

Li Mo twisted his body while running, broke free from Busquets's pull, and then quickly started to catch up with the ball.

"Counterattack! Real Madrid's counterattack is coming!"

In the exclamation of the commentator.

Li Mo took a step forward with the ball.

When the two central defenders of Barcelona moved closer to the middle.

Li Mo shook his ankle, the football left the ground, flew with a rotation in the air, bypassed Mascherano, and landed on the left rib of Barcelona's penalty area.

Di Maria, who came straight from the right side of the attacking direction, caught up with the ball and swept to the other side without waiting for the ball to stop, looking for Bale.

Unfortunately, the ball was caught by Ter Stegen during the run, changing its direction, and the ball fell behind Bale and at Messi's feet.

"Messi?"

At this time.

People noticed.

Messi actually returned to the front of the penalty area again!

"Messi is really active."

Someone couldn't help but sigh.

The Catalan commentator looked a little excited: 'Messi! Messi! Messi received the ball! '

Those who didn't know thought Messi had a single shot.

But in fact, the Catalan commentator himself was a little worried - Messi's performance was too different from usual.

He actually returned to this area.

This shows.

Li Mo brought him great pressure!

In the stands.

Messi's agent and father, Jorge Messi, couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Leo! Don't be stressed, you are the best player in the world!"

Jorge couldn't help but shout at the stadium.

But such a long distance.

In such a noisy stadium.

It would be strange if Messi could hear it.

After Messi got the ball, he turned around and dribbled forward.

At this time, Li Mo rushed over.

After passing the ball, Li Mo was going to take a chance to make up.

But unexpectedly, the football fell at Messi's feet after being blocked by Ter Stegen, not far from him.

The two faced off again.

But this time.

The winner was Messi.

Messi paused, changed his rhythm, and then connected two quick changes of direction, and rushed past Li Mo.

Comparing defense.

The radius of the two was eight taels.

But Li Mo did not give up.

Compared with Messi, Li Mo has his advantage in defense.

That is his big body.

Li Mo broke through Messi, and Messi could hardly hold Li Mo.

But if Messi was entangled by Li Mo, the strength and confrontation of the two sides were not on the same level.

The height and weight are here.

But Messi also knew this, so he did not choose to dribble the ball in a straight line, but kept changing direction and changing the rhythm.

To ensure that Li Mo would not stick to him.

I have to say.

Messi's change of direction speed is still very fast.

A big guy like Li Mo.

In terms of change of direction frequency and speed, it is definitely not comparable to Messi.

"Messi! Beautiful!"

The commentators in the commentary booth applauded Messi's performance.

The entire Camp Nou stadium also gave a huge cheer.

Messi dribbled the ball all the way to the front of the penalty area.

It seemed that he was about to enter the penalty area.

At this time.

Li Mo finally saw the opportunity and made a sliding tackle directly.

While shoveling the ball out, he also shoveled Messi to the ground.

"Foul!!"

"Good goal!!"

These two voices rang out from the stands almost at the same time.

But whether it was a foul or not still depended on the referee's judgment.

The referee hesitated for a moment, but still blew the whistle.

Li Mo got up from the ground.

He made a ball gesture to the referee: "I tackled the ball!"

He shouted unhappily.

But the referee ignored it.

If it was an ordinary player, he might have immediately taken out a yellow card.

But who is Li Mo? He is one of the top players in La Liga.

So the referee just walked to the scene of the incident without changing his expression in the face of Li Mo's questioning, and marked the position of the set piece with the spray he carried with him - this is a small prop that was officially used in the 2014 Brazil World Cup.

Seeing that the referee was determined to call a foul.

Li Mo did not continue to pester.

However, the Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou were not happy.

For a while, the whole stadium was booed.

They were obviously dissatisfied with the referee's decision that Li Mo had committed a foul.

If any of the nearly 90,000 Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were allowed to replace the current referee on the field.

If Real Madrid could continue to participate in the game within one minute, they would have lost.

For all the fans.

As long as there was contact, it was a foul by the opponent.

Then not giving a card would be a violation of the law of heaven.

Enrique on the sidelines was also angrily attacked by the fourth official.

However, this earned him a yellow card.

In the intercom, the fourth official reported to the referee: Barcelona's head coach Enrique spoke rudely to him.

So the referee trotted to the sidelines and showed Enrique a yellow card.

This made the boos in the entire stadium even more sharp.

The boos stopped after Messi placed the ball.

All the Barcelona fans looked forward to Messi taking the free kick in this good position.

Messi's free kick skills are still very strong.

But this time, the free kick he took hit the wall.

It bounced back to his feet.

Messi, who regained control of the ball, did not hesitate and chose to break into the penalty area!

Kroos rushed to defend.

Messi pushed the ball out with the outside of his right foot and started.

Kroos turned around at the same time.

Messi suddenly paused, changed direction, and cut inside.

Such attackers often emerge among Argentine players. They can complete the change of direction rhythm that is unimaginable for European players in a small range.

Aguero, Lavezzi and others are representatives of this.

In ancient times.

Maradona also belongs to this hexagram.

But the best player in this regard.

It's still Messi.

Kroos predicted Messi's change of direction, but his body couldn't keep up.

He could only watch Messi cut in from his side, and then shot with his left foot before other Real Madrid players came up to defend! !

The football was saved by Casillas, hit the post with a bang and bounced back to the small penalty area, and was cleared by Varane's big foot.

The crisis was temporarily resolved.

Messi clenched his fist.

He turned his head to look at Li Mo, then lowered his head and returned to his position.

Because of these offensives.

The morale of Barcelona's players recovered quickly.

After all, this is their home court.

Now for Barcelona, ​​they have a very clear goal: to equalize the score first.

It would be best to equalize the score before the end of the first half.

With this belief.

Barcelona's offensive at home started again.

The trident of Messi, Suarez and Neymar has strong attacking power.

This time, Messi also came to the middle, supporting Neymar on the left.

Messi received Neymar's cross pass and then faked a shot and passed the ball to the ribs.

Neymar is a master of attacking the ribs.

He cruised in from the outside and passed the ball to the middle as soon as he received Messi's pass.

The ball hit Alonso's shin guard and went out of the baseline - the direction of the ball was towards the goal.

The ball almost hit the post and hit the outside side net of the net.

When the net shook, the whole Camp Nou cheered loudly, and Barcelona fans thought Alonso had made an own goal.

As a result, when they found out the truth, they were replaced by great regret.

But Barcelona got a corner kick anyway.

A tactical corner kick was taken.

Neymar cut inside and shot.

The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Barcelona's attack at home was getting more and more fierce.

The scene that ignited the entire stadium happened in the 39th minute of the first half.

Messi's shot near the top of the penalty area hit Ramos' arm, which he didn't have time to retract.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

He pointed to the penalty spot!

"Penalty! Penalty! Barcelona got a penalty!!"

"Messi! Messi's shot hit Ramos' hand!"

"It's hard to say whether Messi did it on purpose, but it is undeniable that the ball did hit the arm."

In the commentary booth, the commentators all held their heads and exclaimed.

At the scene, Barcelona fans jumped up from their seats with their fists clenched in excitement.

Barcelona players were also celebrating.

Real Madrid players were not happy.

Ramos told the referee that his arm was in a naturally drooping state.

Other Real Madrid players were also arguing with the referee.

But it was of no avail.

The referee will not overturn his own decision.

Now I can't watch the short video.

Messi stood at the penalty spot with the ball.

As all the noise ended.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the penalty area.

Messi took a run-up and shot!

Casillas guessed the direction correctly, but still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the net.

One to one!

Barcelona tied the score.

Not long after this goal, the first half of the game was over.

As the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

The players of both sides walked off the court, and the camera was aimed at Enrique. Enrique's face was no longer angry, but was replaced by a sigh of relief.

They were able to tie the score before the end of the first half.

This allowed Barcelona to stabilize the situation and lay a good foundation for the second half of the game.

As long as they can complete the reversal and overtake in the second half.

Then.

Barcelona still has a little hope in La Liga this season.

In the visiting team's locker room, the morale of Real Madrid was a little low, after all, they were the team that was leading but was equalized.

Before Zidane came in.

He had already heard Li Mo's voice.

"What's the big deal? They are not a weak team. It's normal to lose the ball. We just need to score a few more goals in the second half!"

Li Mo started.

Other Real Madrid players also nodded in agreement.

Zidane didn't even need to say much.

The Real Madrid locker room adjusted itself.

Then Zidane arranged the tactics for the second half.

Real Madrid could accept a draw, because after the draw, they were 10 points ahead of Barcelona in the league.

But Zidane still hoped to see a victory.

"In the second half, we need to seize opportunities and improve the efficiency of counterattacks!"

He looked at Li Mo.

"You need to shoot more in the second half!"

"Understood, sir." Li Mo nodded.

Zidane nodded.

As long as Li Mo was on the court.

He was full of confidence. (End of this chapter)
