322 Chapter 322

Barcelona had three shots on goal in the first fifteen minutes, all from outside the box.

Patrick got the ball, and in front of him was Claudio. He was sure to get past his opponents, but even if he did, it was difficult to have space to handle the ball because he was protected by Ian and Mensah, and it was difficult to pass a good ball in such a dense area.

Patrick decided to wait a little longer.

He passed the ball back to Dahoud.

All the Barcelona players were warned by the manager before the game to pay attention to the counter-attacking ability of the QPR. That's why they haven't really started to make a real effort yet. Over time, the opponent will show a little flaw. That's when you need a keen attacker, relying on your instincts to make risky attempts.

The game went on a little longer.

Barcelona have been awarded set-pieces up front, but they still don't pose a real threat.

Neymar looked impatient and the Brazilian decided to try it himself. He motioned for Patrick and Messi to move closer to him as he began to swoop out from forty meters from the goal.

He cut in from the left flank past Genk, which was easy, and then Ian was forced to move laterally, while Mario Fernandez also raised his guard and prepared to stop his own compatriot.

Neymar didn't continue to break through, giving the ball to Messi, and Patrick slotted into the box at high speed.

Messi turned around in an extremely tight area, and although he couldn't shake Ian off completely, there was enough space for the Argentine to play. With a flick of his ankle, he picked the ball into the box.

Glenn Mitchell was already on guard, following Patrick in the box, who was cutting diagonally, and did not rush out of the foot, watching out for Patrick's next move.

The ball came from Patrick's side, and he glanced at the goal, then leaned forward.

Glenn's footsteps didn't stop.

Patrick didn't stop either. He gently conceded the ball behind him, and suddenly his left leg jerked backwards, and then with the heel of his left foot, he reversed the ball from behind himself to the top right corner of the goal!

It was a very ingenious shot. The ball wasn't fast, but it hit a surprise and took advantage of Glenn's body to block.

Hans defused the ball!

The German took off and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand. It was Barca's first shot from inside the box of the game.

"We saw the first moment of the game...... Amber had a shot in this way when he was struggling to get up – maybe he wasn't expecting to score, but it was a good statement. Commentator Ian Dark.

After saving the ball, Hans got up and swept his gaze grimly at Patrick. It's a bit of a provocative ball. However, Patrick immediately reached over, and the two slapped each other, showing respect for each other, and without talking, they immediately prepared for the next corner.

****

The night sky at Camp Nou is starry and the stadium is comfortably breezy in the stadium.

And in the majestic stands on all sides, the red and blue waves of people were still excited about the shot just now.

This is just the beginning.

Next, Patrick began to assault on his own.

It seemed that there was no space in front of him, but Patrick's left, right, and left feet touched the ball continuously, passing between Claudio Llamas and Yu Zixiang, like a winding and swift red and blue lightning.

There was still a dense crowd of people in front of him, and he faced Mensa who was pressing up, and chose to wear a crotch straight plug!

This time, it was Messi and Neymar who both plugged in. Messi got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, pulled the outside instep back, and shook Glenn Mitchell slightly while braking. Ian Parker had made up for it quickly, and Messi crossed again, and the ball was touched a little by Ian's toe and landed at the feet of John O'Connor on the right side of the QPR.

After the Northern Irishman got the ball, he did not hesitate to start the first counterattack of the game! Although his dribbling skills were not as extraordinary as Zixiang's, he was just as imposing, directly breaking up the defense of Alenia and Dahoud, and then giving the ball to Leon in front.

After León twisted away from Gomez, he played the ball to Henk de Graaf who was following in the middle - the Dutchman began to do his best long-distance assault show!

Barca's players were desperately chasing back, while the young but tough short defender Muñoz quickly clung to Genk from the side.

Genk slowed down suddenly, then accelerated again in an attempt to get past Muñoz.

But Muñoz was almost with him, struggling to make a tackle and flying the ball off the touchline.

QPR's counterattack didn't work.

"The game is starting to get interesting, as Barcelona start to try sharper attacks, QPR has a chance to counter-attack, I think it's still even, but the unexpected can happen at any time. BT Sport's guest McManaman said.

The game time continues to go on.

Barca's three front-court talents are all starting to make more individual attempts.

QPR played another counter-attack, this time in front of the penalty area, but basically the Barcelona players chased it back, and it ended with Leon's shot blocked by Pique.

In the 30th minute, Patrick Amber won the ball in the right side of the field. He feigned a strong assault at first, but suddenly stopped his steps. Claudio was thrown straight to the right, and Patrick immediately sprinted to the left and inside.

Messi was asking for the ball, and Ian in front of him immediately paid close attention and was ready to intercept the ball.

But Patrick didn't pass. He chose to challenge Ian directly.

Ian realizes that the situation is very difficult to deal with. In the flash of lightning, he was not sure to break the ball.

But the Scotsman was clever enough to throw his body to the side, cutting off Patrick's path to the left.

Patrick instinctively smashed the ball to the right, but then Glenn behind Ian was well predicted.

Glenn stepped straight up to grab it. After returning from a major injury, after a period of competition and training, Glenn's physical condition has been getting better and better, and the speed of this grabbing is extremely amazing.

The ball at Patrick's feet is touched by Glenn. Seeing this, Mensah threw down Messi, who was marking his own defense, and immediately came over to prepare to completely cut off the ball.

It's a chain-locked, well-thought-out defense that basically blocks all the space and gambles at reasonable times.

It's just that in the face of Patrick, such a "reasonable timing" is not reasonable.

Barcelona's No. 7 was about to be cut off, and suddenly stretched out his left foot and poked it again, and the ball touched Mensa and folded to Messi's feet.

Mensah saw the opportunity to snatch up, but now he has become the person who missed the person he should have been targeting.

Messi is now unmarked.

The Argentine received the ball and faced the goal, and then chose to shoot directly on the line of the big penalty area!

In this position, Messi's shooting accuracy can be said to be unique in the world.

Hans's fingertips touched the ball slightly, and the ball hit the post and bounced back. Zixiang immediately came over and prepared to clean up the ball.

But Patrick seemed to have already judged that the ball might bounce back, and he didn't stop after the pass, and had already sprinted into the box, ready to shoot!

Yu Zixiang flew over, a flying shovel. Patrick also saw Zixiang, and he immediately hooked the ball behind him with his right foot, and Zixiang's foot shoveled into his leg.

Patrick collapsed in the box, gasping in pain.

The referee's whistle blew and then everyone saw the direction of his finger – the penalty spot.

Zixiang knew that he had committed a foul, he didn't mean to, but he was very annoyed. He looked at his friend who was lying on one side of the ground, and Patrick looked up at him and said, "Unlucky." ”

It's just a tough situation, it's not serious.

Zixiang was very depressed, picked up Patri, and walked away without speaking.

The referee showed Zixiang a yellow card. He was booked in his last game against Barcelona.

This means that if QPR advances, Zixiang will be suspended for the next game, which is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

If, there is a next one......

In the 31st minute, Barcelona won a penalty. Standing in front of the penalty spot was captain Lionel Messi.

The logo of Aston Martin is the flying wing.

It has a symmetrical aesthetic, like two revolvers back-to-back. If you look closely, it's actually a bit similar to Patrick's early ll celebrations. As a result, there is no shortage of fans speculating that Patrick's celebratory may have something to do with his car.

It's just that Patrick's celebration has been almost forgotten by the fans. Recently, however, a Catalan newspaper called Patrick-Amber a "winger from England".

He's like the world-famous sports car, with speed, precision, explosiveness, and, moreover, hard to capture.

This game, his performance so far, may be like flying wings.

"Bloody hell!!" This was Lu Ling's first reaction after being awarded a penalty. Then she hugged her head.

Of course, things are far from being out of control.

As it stands, the aggregate score will be 2:2 and Barcelona will have the advantage on away goals. Next, she has to make a choice, whether to continue to defend and counterattack, or attack.

Both approaches are at great risk.

Her intention was to try to hold on to the score and then rely on counter-attacks – but the efficiency of today's counter-attacks really didn't satisfy her. Perhaps due to the fact that he focused too much on defense in the limited training time, he was not very proficient in counter-attacking routines.

Moreover, Batshuayi failed to catch several purposeful long passes today.

This also affects the QPR to get the ball to the frontcourt.

There are a few things that have to be emphasized at halftime, but at this moment, Lu Ling can only pray for a little luck and Hans's play.

After all, they have also studied Messi's penalty kicks a lot, and the Argentine's penalty shooting rate in recent years is not the highest.

Messi stands in front of the ball.

Run up.

Shoot the ball into the bottom right corner! That's Hans' theoretical weak point.

But as Hans himself said, he has no so-called weak points.

What he needed was to guess the right direction.

And this time he guessed right.

In his more than a season with QPR, Hans has faced seven penalties and saved three of them.

This is the eighth time.

The ball was tricky, grazing the turf and flying towards the inside of the post. But the edge of Hans's glove still rubbed against the ball.

The ball slowed down, but was still rolling towards the goal line.

There are only a few tenths of a second.

Hans propped up his left elbow and reached for the ball again, this time out of the goal line!

Neymar had already rushed over to make up for the shot, but this time Zixiang flew over and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line.

Neymar fell to the ground and then raised his hand to call for a foul, but the referee did not intend to award another penalty anytime soon. This ball actually touched the ball first and did not foul.

Escaped.

Lu Lingchang on the sidelines let out a sigh, she slapped Tim with her sweaty palms, and found that the palms of the assistant coach were also covered with sweat. 166 Reading Network
