No. 770: Improving and strong Barça!
At 7:15, under the leadership of the four referees, the starters of both sides walked out of the players' tunnel and walked into the court.
They were greeted by loud cheers, with outnumbered Atletico fans shouting: "Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid! ”
They want to make their voices heard and make the Atletico players feel their presence. Wang Rui looked at those red and white figures and said to himself: "I won't let you down!" ”
Messi glanced at Wang Rui, and his fighting spirit was like fire!
Tonight, let's take a look at how Barcelona at Camp Nou plays!
"Tick! ……”
At half past seven, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Forlan kicked the football back to the backfield, and the Barcelona midfielder pounced viciously like a pack of lions.
Atletico Madrid's away challenge to Barcelona has officially begun!
Amid the huge shouts of the home fans, Barcelona quickly snatched the football at their feet and launched an attack. Messi took Xavi's short pass, suddenly accelerated with the football, and slashed towards the Atletico penalty area.
He easily shook off Simao's defence and hit in front of the penalty area, where four Atletico players surrounded him and did not give him a chance to shoot with his feet.
The Argentine striker forced his foot to shoot, and the ball was blocked by Godin in the box. Atletico immediately launched a quick counter-attack. Barcelona has changed its former elegance, and the midfield will immediately carry out counter-robbery, and force you to rob Atletico Madrid in a high position, and we Barcelona will too!
Godin's pass to Thiago was tackled by Keita, and Barcelona launched a counterattack on the spot!
Thiago's center of gravity dropped, and without waiting for Keita to pass the ball out, he shoveled the football away!
Central defender Dominguez took two steps forward and passed the football directly to Wang Rui, who came to receive the ball, and Wang Rui quickly turned around after taking the ball and advanced at high speed with the football in the huge shouts of Atletico Madrid fans.
Under the attack of Xavi and Iniesta, Wang Rui struggled to send the football to Forlan's feet, and the Uruguayan striker and Simao, who followed up in the midfield, made a simple cross on the left side and went straight to one-two, and advanced along the sideline at high speed.
Five metres from the baseline, Forlan suddenly made a sharp stop and cut in, and before Alves could turn, he crossed the ball diagonally to Simão in the corner of the box.
Simão didn't stop the ball, he stretched out his right foot and slammed the ball with his heel, and the ball flew towards his left back!
"Beautiful!"
Juanito, the commentator of Madrid TV, shouted: "Shoot! ”
A red and white figure stepped forward and shot directly at the ball!
The soccer ball flew like a cannonball towards the near corner!
The air at Camp Nou suddenly became tense!
Horror appeared in the eyes of Barcelona fans, and Atletico Madrid fans clenched their fists, ready to cheer!
Valdés soared into the air like a hungry tiger and was about to pounce on the ball!
However, his fingers did not touch the football!
"Pong! ……”
With a loud bang, the football hits the post and pops up the bottom line!
"Boom! ……”
There was a huge exclamation on the pitch, followed by thunderous applause!
Juanito, the commentator of Madrid TV, exclaimed: "Wang's long-range shot was denied by the post, it's a good start, Atletico Madrid, come on!" ”
Catalan TV said in shock: "Barcelona must strengthen the defense of the king, can't give him such an easy opportunity to shoot with his feet, this time it was the post that helped us, so next time?" ”
Pep Guardiola, who was standing in the command area, was unhappy with his midfielder and yelled at Keita......
Wang Rui, who missed the opportunity to score, had a calm expression, who can guarantee that he can score with every shot, he buried his regrets deep in his heart and re-invested in the game.
In the ensuing game, Atletico Madrid continued to cut trees according to Simeone's pre-match arrangement, and the Barcelona players fell on the turf again and again, and their smooth rhythm was once again rudely interrupted by Atletico Madrid.
Is it possible that Barcelona can only rely on the individual ability of their stars, as in the case at the Calderón Stadium?
The mighty Barcelona immediately gave the answer, and in the twelfth minute of the first half, they picked up the tempo of the pass and sent the ball into the Atletico penalty area after a dazzling touch!
Villa leans on Godin and it's a volley!
De Gea reacted quickly, made a side pounce, and struggled to save the ball off the line!
Barcelona used this attack to tell Atletico that we can be faster, so fast that you don't even have a chance to foul!
This successful cooperation made Barcelona more confident, in the next game, they passed the ball faster, Atletico Madrid's pressing had no chance to play at all, for a while, Atletico Madrid in front of the door was full of rumors, and the cannon roared!
In the seventeenth minute, Messi made a direct pass back to Villa in the penalty area to knock back two over one, Messi met the ball and shot angrily, De Gea stubbornly blocked the football, Pedro stepped forward to make up for the shot, Dominguez's center of gravity dropped, shoveling the football out of the bottom line!
In the eighteenth minute, Iniesta hung lightly from the corner of the penalty area, and Alves, who came up with the assist, pushed a shot, and the football was wide of the goal!
In the 21st minute, Xavi made a diagonal pass in front of the penalty area, and Iniesta, who was inserted in the back row, pushed it away, and the football went straight to the near corner!
Barcelona's attack was too fast for De Gea to make an effective save, and he could only watch the football roll into the net!
Catalan TV roared: "Goal! Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”
Juanito, a commentator on Madrid TV, said regretfully and bitterly: "Andres Iniesta, who missed the first leg of the match between the two teams due to injury, was the first to break the deadlock, and the score became 1-0, and Barcelona took the lead. Atletico were completely suppressed by Barcelona, which had a lot to do with Simeone's inability to take command personally. ”
"Barcelona have found a way to deal with Atletico, they pass the ball faster than before, a lot of the time it's a one-kick pass and don't give the Atletico players a chance to scramble at all," said German national television. ”
"This kind of Barcelona is even more terrifying, they take the passing and control to the extreme! Such a Barcelona is almost invincible! ”
Inesta smiled brightly, and the Barcelona players surrounded him excitedly......
In the huge cheers at Camp Nou, the Atletico Madrid players turned pale, it was okay to be behind the score, but they couldn't find a way to deal with Barcelona......
Wang Rui's face is still calm, since we can't defend, let's have a confrontation battle!
After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid strengthened their attack, Wang Rui took the ball and shook off Keita, and directly made a long pass to find Forlan on the left, Diego Costa was absent, and he can only trust the Uruguayan striker now.
After unloading the football, Forlan slowly took the football and slowly killed it towards the Barcelona penalty area. In the face of Abidal's defense, the Uruguayan striker suddenly crossed with a cross, and Simão, who was inserted, directly plugged it in!
The two of them are going to have a cross-pass, and they will intervene in two by one!
Fran flew forward, but he had just started when he let out a scream and fell into the Barcelona penalty area!
He was brought down by Abidal
"Tick! ……”
The referee blew the whistle and it was a yellow card for Abidal! (To be continued.) )
