Chapter 71 Two Balls Lead
Martino looked depressedly at the Gosho players who were celebrating. In his opinion, Barcelona had just made an obvious mistake in the defense of this free kick and completely missed Chevally. It's really wrong.
Of course, Martino also knows that Barcelona is not a team that is good at defense. If you want them to defend against opponents like Gosho and prevent Gosho from scoring goals, it is better to expect them to score more goals. Martino is very confident that with the state of Barcelona today, they will definitely score goals. The difference is just a few goals.
Barcelona has not been moraleed by this loss. Presumably they themselves understand that the outcome of the game with Gosho will not be determined by defense, but by the attack. No matter how many goals Gosho team has, as long as Barcelona has scored one more than them, they will win the game. This is the football philosophy of the Barcelona team.
After Barcelona restarted the midfield ball, they turned their feet slowly in the midfield and backfield. Usually, their inverted feet would make them pull away from the opponent's defense, and then suddenly pass the ball to the opponent's empty space. One hit was fatal. However, today they are in trouble with this way of playing. Goshao's three line distance It was maintained properly, their attention on the back line has always been very focused, and several players in the front court of Gosho have been fighting at the expense of physical strength, destroying Barcelona's pass in the midfield and backcourt, so that Barcelona can't take it easy.
Originally, this kind of playing method was a test for Gosho's physical fitness, but Barcelona didn't take much advantage, because the average age of Barcelona players was much older than Gosho's, and their physical strength was not their strength, and they are now far from winning the championship early in La Liga, Real Madrid They are chasing closely behind them, so they can't stay in the league. Martino doesn't dare to rotate sharply at all; and what about the Gosau team? They won the league championship nine rounds in advance. In recent rounds of the league, they have been rotated significantly, but the Geshao team has an advantage in terms of physical fitness.
Gosho's full-court rush has caused considerable difficulties for Barcelona's offensive organization. Although Barcelona still got a chance to take a shot with the personal ability of the midfielder, these offensives seem to be quite scattered and do not form a lasting pressure on Gosho; on the contrary, Gosho's attack The situation has always been good. Although Ivanovic is not on the court, Lima has performed quite well, and Egman is also in a good state today. He completely suppressed Pike, so that Pike, who usually likes to insert assists, dares not leave Egman today.
Compared with the highlights within ten minutes after the opening, after Gosho scored, the game became relatively flat. In the second half of the first half, the two teams did not have more than the first ten minutes of scoring opportunities.
Martino's face is quite ugly. He can stand the team's poor defense, but he can't stand the team's weakness in attack. However, he has walked to the court and roared several times. Barcelona's attack is still not good. There is nothing he can do. Gosho's full-court pressure is quite effective and good damage. With Barcelona's offensive organization, even Messi, whom Martino had high expectations, did not have an excellent performance. Salihovic was very successful in his defense, and Antunović's passing route to Messi from Barcelona was also quite good. Messi was difficult to catch the ball, so naturally he did not mention the goal.
Messi was not in a good mood. He was full of energy to score in this game before the game, but in the first half, except for a few times, he seemed to have disappeared on the court. He also tried to retreat near the midfield to pick up the ball, but he After all, people are not gods, and Gosho's defensive players are not weak. On the contrary, Antunović and Salihovic can be regarded as the top defenders in football today, so his attempt is not very successful.
Perhaps the only thing that gratified Messi in the first half was that Egman also did not score.
When the referee Meyer blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game, the score on the court was still 1-0, and Gosau took a goal ahead and entered the halftime.
The players of the two teams returned to their locker rooms with different expressions. The players of the Gosho team looked relaxed one by one, while the Barcelona players all had heavy expressions.
In fact, a goal behind does not make the Barcelona players care so much, but the Gosho team seems to be their nemesis, which repeatedly frustrated the Barcelona team in front of them, which makes the Barcelona players have some psychological shadows, especially now that the vast majority of Barcelona players on the court have experienced it. The first four matches of the Shao team, and in the first half of this game, the Gosho team prevented them from tying their hands and feet, making them recall the painful experience of the previous fights.
Martino looked at the dull expressions of the Barcelona players in the locker room. He didn't know what to say. He had to let the players run more in the second half, speed up the passing speed, and try to break Gosau's defense in this way.
In the locker room, Lin Fenglei affirmed the performance of the players in the first half, and let them continue to hold the pass of Barcelona in the second half, exerting as much pressure as possible, and forcing Barcelona to speed up the passing speed. In this way, the chances of Barcelona making mistakes will increase.
After the start of the second half of the game, Barcelona took the initiative to speed up the passing speed, and the players also increased their running. In this way, they certainly found more loopholes in Gosho's defense, but everything was relative. At the same time, their mistakes also increased, and this will also aggravate the body of Barcelona players. It consumes energy, so it is difficult to say whether this is good or bad. If they can score goals in a short time, then this approach is successful. If they can't score in a short time, it may not be worth the loss.
Three minutes after the start of the second half of the game, Barcelona passed the ball to the right side of the front court by passing the ball quickly. Neymar broke through at high speed after getting the ball on the right side. After reaching the 30-meter area of Gosho, he passed the ball to Messi in the middle. Messi controlled the ball after encountering Salihovic's interception and attracted After Antunović's bag, he knocked the ball back to the front of the penalty area, and Fabregas followed a strong shot in the middle. Unfortunately, the ball was hit too straight and was pounced forward by Cecchiarelli and pressed the ball tightly under him.
Although there was no goal in this shot, it still attracted a burst of applause from Barcelona fans in the stands, and Martino also applauded. In his opinion, this was a good omen, and the Barcelona team finally played some due cooperation.
Cecareli stood up and threw the ball to Antunović. Antuovic divided the ball to Ribeiro inserted on the left side. Ribeiro took the ball through the midfield and passed the ball to the retracement Egman. Egman passed the ball to Lima in the middle, and then to Barcelona's penalty area. Running away, Pike quickly followed him.
Lima pushed forward with the ball, and Busquets greeted him. Lima made a fake move. Busquets was unmoved. His eyes stared at the ball under Lima's feet. As long as the ball did not move, his person would not move. Now although Lima's foot crossed the ball, it did not touch the ball. After falling behind Lima, Busquets believed that as long as he stood in his place, Lima had nothing to do.
But at this moment, Lima's right foot passed the ball from behind him to his left front. This was an unconventional pass, but it was very effective and hidden. Busquets was shocked and quickly turned back to remind right-back Alves, "Daniel, be careful!"
But Busquets's reminder was too late. Lima's passing was too hidden. Alves didn't notice it at all. By the time he reacted, Avanzini had swept past him like the wind. Alves turned back to catch up, but how could he catch up? Avazzini's speed is not inferior to him, only faster than him.
Avanzini caught up with the ball and crossed the ball with his left foot at the first time. The ball drew an arc and flew to the penalty area. At this time, Egman just ran to the penalty area. He jumped high. Pike behind him saw that the situation was not good. He grabbed the hem of Egman's jersey and tried his best to pull Egman, but Egman's How fierce is the rush? The jersey couldn't stand Egman's strength and was torn off. Pike couldn't stand up and sat on the ground. Egman didn't seem to be affected at all. He shook his head to attack the goal and easily pushed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Valdes tried his best to save, but the angle of the goal was too tricky and his strength was too big. He could only see the ball into the net.
After Egman landed, he glanced at Pike, who was still sitting on the ground, and ran to the side of the court to celebrate his goal. Pike only felt that Egman's glance at him was full of contempt. He was very angry, but he had nothing to say. In the defense of this ball, he was indeed crushed by Egman. What can he say?
Two goals behind made Martino unable to sit still. He stood up again and walked to the side of the court, anxiously urging his players to continue to run, speed up the speed of passing the ball, and strive to win the score as soon as possible.
However, the Barcelona team can't kick the ball now, because the back of Egman's jersey was torn, and a piece of cloth was shrugged on his buttocks and floated in the wind. This look was really unsightly, so the referee asked Egman to go down and change a new jersey. When he returned to the court, he let Barcelona The team started the ball again.
