Chapter 190: Messi's stage

Enrique hopes that Gao Zheng can use more headers that he is not good at in this game out of the mentality of competing with the media.

But since that corner, Gao Zheng hasn't used his head to overhead the ball again.

Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that Barcelona have been in control of the game since then.

After two consecutive strikes by Gao Zheng in the opening eight minutes, Barcelona also played the ball with Neymar and Alves to help Messi finish two shots with overhead kicks in the penalty area.

Both shots were confiscated by Oblak, though.

Barcelona then continued to attack, and Atletico Madrid was forced to recycle the defense.

In these years, no team has dared to play against Barcelona.

Naturally, Atletico Madrid didn't dare.

During Barcelona's siege of Atletico Madrid, Pedro, who started in place of Suarez, had his shot blocked on the right side of the box, and the ball fell to Messi, who fired slightly higher from the edge of the box.

The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands and the Chinese fans in front of the TV broke out in a cold sweat.

Barcelona's offensive didn't end there, they got stronger and braver.

In the twentieth minute, Pedro pulled wide to cross and Messi headed in again, but his header was saved by goalkeeper Oblak.

Blanco, who was in the media box, saw this scene, spread his hands and said loudly: "Messi has already made two headers to create a threat, and Gao is embarrassed to say that Messi's header is as weak as him!" ”

Not far from him were Chinese journalists, who all heard him, because the Catalan journalist spoke exclusively in English.

Many Chinese reporters looked sideways at Blanco, but Blanco didn't care about their gaze at all, sitting in the front row and shaking his head.

Barcelona's most threatening attack came in the 24th minute.

At that time, Barcelona's right wing-back Alves was tackled to the ground by Atletico Madrid centre-back Godin when he cut inside with the ball.

Not only did he give Barcelona a free-kick, but Godin himself received an early yellow card.

It can be a heavy burden for a centre-back to receive a yellow card at such an early stage, after all, their opponents are Barcelona, and Barcelona have an absolute superstar like Lionel Messi in their squad. Sometimes, when you need to foul to stop him from attacking, the thought that you already have a yellow card on you can make you hesitate and miss the opportunity to let Messi go.

And this time it is very likely to cause Messi's goal.

So Simeone was very dissatisfied with the referee Marienko's decision, waving his fist on the sidelines and shouting loudly.

He thinks it's enough to give a foul, and it's really unnecessary to give a yellow card, after all, this is Godin's first foul in the game.

Of course, no matter how Simeone protests, Godin's yellow card is unlikely to be cancelled.

Barcelona also won a free-kick in front of goal, very close to goal, and the angle was slightly off, but it was just right for Messi's left foot to take the free-kick.

Sure enough, Messi personally placed the football, and he was going to take the ball.

And Gao Zheng was pulled to the wall because he was tall.

When Messi set up the football and stood up, he and Messi happened to have a look in the eyes.

The two of them are nine meters apart, and Gao Zheng can even see every strand of Messi's hair very clearly.

Messi also noticed Gao Zheng's eyes looking at him. In Messi's career, he has also encountered things where others look at him directly, some people's eyes are very unfriendly, but unlike those eyes that hate him, the gaze of Gao Zheng on the opposite side makes him instinctively feel some danger.

This seems incredible to Messi, how can he have a premonition of danger just because he is staring at him?

Gao Zheng was still looking at him, and at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded sharply - this was not for Messi to make a free throw, but because Atletico Madrid secretly rubbed the human wall forward, and the referee Marienko saw through it and signaled them to retreat with the whistle.

When Gao Zheng followed the wall and retreated, he no longer stared at Messi with that kind of eyes, and Messi also shook his head, feeling that it was his own delusion.

Even if the Portuguese stood in front of him, staring at him, he would not feel dangerous.

So it's definitely a delusion.

He looked at the Atletico Madrid wall that was slightly away and saw that it was a great opportunity to score.

He's going to set the tone for the game and make those speculations meaningless.

It's not going to be a battle, it's going to be a Barcelona cup-winning game!

This time, when the referee blows the whistle again, it's a signal that the ball is ready to kick.

Messi started to shoot with his left foot after running, and the football was kicked by him around the wall!

Although everyone in Atletico Madrid's human wall jumped hard, including Gao Zheng, no one touched the football.

The football was not kicked from where Gao Zheng was, perhaps because Messi was also worried about Gao Zheng's height......

The ball arced through the air, around the wall, and raced towards Atletico Madrid's goal.

And although Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak soared into the air and struggled to stretch his arms, everyone could see that he would be difficult to stop the ball......

The Catalan commentator couldn't wait to scream: "Leo Messi——!!! ”

He's ready to chant "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As a result, the soccer ball hit headfirst on the crossbar.

After a crisp sound, the ball pops up on the bottom line!

"Ahh Screaming was GOLTV's Ray Hudson, who has always been known for his exaggerated commentary.

At this moment, he held his head in his hands and exclaimed: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! The post at the Calderón Stadium prevented Messi's brilliant free-kick! It is really worthy of Calderón's goal, standing on the side of Atletico Madrid at a critical moment, serving as the patron saint of Atletico Madrid! But look at Messi! His eyes were burning with rage, and he was staring at the goal, and it was clear that he was not going to succumb to fate! ”

In fact, Messi just glanced at the crossbar and didn't have so many scenes, but Ray Hudson didn't care so much, he was the best at adding drama to the players.

※※※

Messi's free-kick didn't score, but it really scared Atletico Madrid fans.

When the ball hit the crossbar, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

There are Atletico Madrid fans who pat their hearts with their hands to soothe their beating hearts.

"In the twenty-fourth minute of the game, Messi created the most threatening attack of the game! His free-kick was denied by the crossbar! Although he didn't score, it can be seen that he is in excellent form, since the start of the game, he has threatened Atletico Madrid's goal four times in a row, and if he continues to play like this, he will not be able to concede a goal in Atletico Madrid! ”

José Maria's words reached Dong Jin's ears, making him feel anxious.

It's obviously our home stadium, but why has it now become a stage for Messi's performance? In addition to hearing the commentator shouting Gao Zheng twice in a row in the eighth minute, the next thing I heard the most was Messi's name.

Come on, Gao Zheng!

You can't afford to lose to Messi!
