Chapter 63 underestimates Barcelona too much

After the stormy opening stages of the game, the pace of the game calmed down, as if it were calm after the storm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

One of the benefits of Barcelona using Cesc Fabregas in the number nine position is that their control in midfield has been strengthened like never before, as Cesc Fabregas is not a number nine and prefers to be involved in the midfield's reversing passes.

Barcelona were very comfortable passing on the edge of Atletico Madrid, but as soon as they had a tendency to pass forward, they were immediately disrupted by Atletico's tough defence.

Because the scene of the game during this period of time made the fans watching this game a little drowsy, especially for the fans in China who need to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to watch the game, Barcelona's slow passing in the midfield made many people sleepy.

So much so that the on-site broadcaster frequently switched to the camera in the stands.

"Aside from the first eight minutes of the game, the best scene of the game so far came from the stands, those beautiful Atletico fans." A commentator joked like this.

In the eighteenth minute, Xavi found Cesc Fabregas with a pass forward.

Miranda posted it routinely, and he didn't think Barcelona's forward pass would make any difference this time. Sure enough, he saw Cesc Fabregas ready to pass back.

This is the best for Atletico Madrid, as long as the opponent does not pass the ball to their own penalty area, even if Barcelona pass the ball in the middle of the field, it is still Atletico Madrid who will advance in the end.

So Miranda was not surprised to see Cesc Fabregas preparing to pass back, and even a little snickering. If this game can be won so easily, it will not consume too much physical energy of Atletico Madrid, which is naturally a good thing for Atletico Madrid, who lack depth in the squad.

But Fabregas's next move surprised Miranda, who saw him pass backwards, but took advantage of Miranda's relaxation moment to knock the ball back with his left foot, and turned around with his right foot to support his body, dribbling the ball directly in the direction of Atletico Madrid's goal.

Although Cesc Fabregas is a "pseudo-centre-forward", he is also the closest player to Atletico Madrid's goal in the current Barcelona team, allowing the opposing centre-forward to complete the turn and face the goal with the ball, which is Miranda's defensive mistake.

Simeone, of course, would not allow this to happen, and he roared loudly from the sidelines to keep the Atletico players focused!

Fabregas has a number of possibilities for the turn, splitting the ball left and right, dribbling forward himself, or shooting directly from that position.

Miranda didn't dare to pounce on it now, now the two are facing each other, and behind Miranda is Courtois, so he doesn't dare to grab it at will, in case he is passed by the other party, it will be a single knife.

Gabi and Koke came in from both flanks, ready to flank Cesc Fabregas.

Before they arrived, Cesc Fabregas had already deftly dodged the gap and shot straight at goal!

For Cesc Fabregas, he is the most advanced Barcelona player, and if he splits the side, Barcelona have tried many crosses, none of which can pose a threat, and it is better to take a round himself.

So after he turned around, he dribbled the ball to the outside of the penalty area, and shot directly with his feet!

The football flew towards the goal like a shooting star, and the shot was powerful!

Courtois pounced sideways, fingertips flicked the ball and the ball went off the near post!

"Oh.........."

There was a gasp of cold air at the scene.

Especially when the ball bounced off the billboard behind the goal and hit the net behind the goal, many fans in the stands far away even thought the goal had been scored!

"Dangerous !!!" Duan Xuan didn't care about the neutral commentary position at all now, "Fortunately, Atletico Madrid's goal was Courtois in front of it, it's really a good deal!" ”

In the twenty-first minute, Barcelona launched another attack. Iniesta passed the ball to the left wing, and Neymar received the ball and shook it in disguise, and finally there was no way to get past Juanfran, but he still shook out of the passing space. Neymar made an inverted triangle pass diagonally behind him with his left foot. The ball was passed close to the ground near the arc of the Atletico Madrid penalty area.

Iniessta's movement is quite flexible, and Iniesta, who was still playing with Neymar on the left wing, has now received the ball on this line.

Iniesta stopped the ball and shot straight at goal.

His shot was very flattering, and it was very sudden. Atletico's defenders thought that Iniesta was going to open the angle, but who would have thought that he would shoot directly on goal.

It was a scuffling shot, the ball went around the defender in the air and the curling ball went around the back post!

Courtois stretches his long arms and takes the ball into his arms!

It was already Barcelona's second very dangerous attack in just a few minutes.

Simeone stood on the sidelines with a solemn expression, he found that he had made a mistake, he underestimated Barcelona's offensive ability too much, although Atletico Madrid's opening blitz achieved good results, and then the overall recovery of the defensive counterattack was also correct, but Atletico retreated too far back and completely conceded the midfield.

In doing so, the tempo of the game fell into Barcelona's favourite rhythm, as they confused Atletico Madrid's defence with non-stop passes in midfield, and when the defenders let their guard down, they suddenly changed the tempo.

The change in tempo has left Atletico's defence a little bit out of touch, as it is now.

And Barcelona have been playing this game for a long time, and so are what their players know and do best!

Just as Simeone was brewing for change, Barcelona's attack came again.

The continuous attack gradually restored Barcelona's confidence, which was two goals behind in the opening period.

In the 25th minute, Neymar cut inside with the ball, and Juanfran quickly followed, he was just about to block Neymar's shot, but found Neymar screaming and falling to the ground. Before Juanfran could react, referee Webb's whistle was already blowing - Juanfran had fouled.

From the replay given by the big screen on the scene, we can only know what happened just now - Juanfran touched Neymar with his swinging arm during the run, and then Neymar fell to the ground like an electric shock and rolled continuously.

Then the camera was given to the referee Webb.

"The foul was so reluctant that Juanfran even stroked the side of Neymar's jersey gently..........." Duan Xuan said with some words to say.

Regardless, Neymar won a free-kick on the left side of the box line for Barcelona.

This position is very suitable for right-footed players to take the penalty, so Messi, who has not appeared in the camera for a long time, did not come. Neymar put the ball away, took a few steps back and watched as the two sides tangled up near the wall - in fact, if Webber hadn't told him to listen to the whistle, he would have wanted to do it now.

Finally, the wall stood still under the referee's interference, but when Webber had just turned around, the Atletico players quietly moved forward a small step.

It's a very dangerous position, and it's no wonder that Atletico's players are on the verge of rivalry.

Webb, who walked out of the box, blew his whistle to signal that he was ready to take the free-kick.

Neymar started to shoot and curled a shot inside his foot.

The Atletico players who formed the wall jumped high and Courtois was ready to seal the near corner.

However, the ball hit Gabi's head and changed direction, and by the time Courtois saw the football, it was already too late........

"Neymar ........."

With the commentator's shouting, Neymar's free-kick hit Gabi's head and changed direction and flew into the goal from the other side.
