Chapter 65: Nothing is impossible
Valverde was pacing around on the sidelines, and it was clear from his expression that he was now entangled. Victory was in his hands, but the situation before him made it difficult for him to make a decision.
This is Camp Nou, they are Barcelona. Their pride does not allow them to take advantage of the situation and not continue to attack.
No matter who they faced, even against Real Madrid, who had always been rivals, they never flinched. Even if you are ahead, you will never retract, and you will only do everything possible to beat your opponent into a dog.
The current Granada team looks like they can't fight back, but this opponent who dares to shout to challenge for the title can win by three goals, and Barcelona will never win by just two goals. Completely crushing any opponent who dares to speak up for the title from mind to body is the purpose of the Barcelona team.
"They're retreating, they're accumulating strength, and they're trying to prepare for the last fight!" Seeing that Granada was also suppressed, but it was different from the chaos of the first half, it was clearly a planned contraction. Valverde had seen through Granada's strategy, but he couldn't make the decision to retreat. If Mourinho is here, he will definitely make a big wave and make the Barcelona team return to the half to delay time.
"One more, one more!" Barcelona fans were all shouting excitedly for the players to score more goals.
"Looks like I can't learn that!" Valverde shook his head. Walk back to the bench and sit down, and decide to leave the game to the players to play to their heart's content.
What if you have a plan? At Camp Nou, with us having a two-goal lead, all illusions are impossible.
Cheered on by the fans, Barcelona continued to attack Granada. As the home team and the leading side, Barcelona no longer have any pressure. It's just how to repay the support of the fans and how to meet the demands of the fans.
Scoring from Granada, a strong opponent and arguably the strongest defensive team in La Liga, is a face-saving affair. Just thinking about it is exciting enough.
Messi scored from a free-kick and Coutinho, who had only been here for a short time, also scored. As another sharp knife to rely on in the Barcelona team, Suarez is also extremely hungry to score.
Suarez's form has been up and down this season, sometimes scoring regularly and sometimes struggling to score in successive games. Originally, after Neymar left, he should have been the team's top scorer, but he was not satisfied. That's why Barcelona wanted to spend a lot of money to bring in Coutinho.
And the arrival of Coutinho seriously threatens Suarez's position as the number one striker. Now that Coutinho has scored, he is even more desperate to score. Therefore, entering the second half, Suarez had a strong desire to score goals and wanted to shoot to score at every opportunity.
Suarez forced a few shots, but the more he wanted to score, the harder it became. This made him even more anxious to seize the opportunity. In this case, he will never allow the team to stop attacking, as long as his teammates show no intention of moving forward, he will immediately raise his hand and call for the ball.
It is estimated that he saw Suarez's thoughts, and Messi, as the leader of the team, also intends to fulfill Suarez's goal expectations. As long as Messi has the ball at his feet, he will definitely pass to Suarez whenever he has the opportunity. Even if Suarez spits cakes frequently, Messi has no complaints.
"Bang!" Suarez forced a long-range shot under the attack of Yan Feng and Ingasen. As a result, he still couldn't score and missed the bottom line.
"Don't rush, Suarez, take your time. You're going to score for sure. Messi walked up to Suarez, who was frustrated that he hadn't scored yet, and patted the latter on the shoulder. "I will continue to support you. All you have to do is try to take advantage of your chances. ”
"Hmm. Thank you. Suarez nodded in thanks. With the boss's commitment, he'll have countless chances to try and score.
Messi's comfort helped, but Suarez's anxiety was not so easy to dispel. This can be seen from the fact that he continued to shoot many times later.
Yan Feng was nearby and heard Messi and Suarez's words. After Messi and Suarez separated, a thought flashed through his mind, and then he approached and said loudly: "Suarez, you don't want to score. With me, I won't give you any more chances to score. You, without Neymar, are getting worse and worse. ”
"Well, the Chinese shut your mouth. I'm Suarez and I can score without anyone. Wait and see, I'm not only going to score, I'm going to score from your side. Suarez immediately became anxious, and pointed at Yan Feng very dissatisfied.
"Heh, then I'll wait for you to come. In today's football, except for Messi, there is no one I can't defend alone. Yan Feng said deliberately provocatively.
"No one can defend against me alone. Neither can you. With that, Suarez turned around and walked away angrily.
After Suarez walked away, Lin Fan leaned over and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Brother Feng. Be careful that he bites you. It is estimated that he has not tasted the delicious food from the land of Shenzhou. ”
"Hehe, nothing. I deliberately provoked him. If he does bite me, that's fine. "If you can take the opportunity to get the opponent down, if you are bitten and if, Yan Feng is willing to take two bites.
Seeing Yan Feng's relaxed expression, the others who thought that he had just discovered the conflict with Suarez no longer paid attention to this matter. And the captain Yan Feng still had the heart to joke with Lin Fan at this time, which also made the other players feel a little relieved.
Everyone also remembered some things about Yan Feng. Before the arrival of stars such as Modric, the Granada team often fell behind. But as long as Yan Feng is present, whether they are one or two behind, they will fight until the last second. And many times in the final period of the big reversal.
We can definitely reverse it. As long as the game is not over, we have a chance to make it happen.
After Yan Feng's stimulation, Suarez became even more impatient. Not only did he compete with Coutinho, but he was also increasingly eager to prove himself. What's more, he also took the ball to impact Yan Feng's defense area many times.
And Yan Feng, naturally, he won't fight him alone. Although he does have the ability to defend Suarez alone, with his strength and speed, as long as he wants to, Suarez will definitely not be able to get rid of him. But wouldn't it be easier to get the ball down from Suarez's feet with team-mates to assist in the pinch?
With the support of Ingason or Lin Fan, Yan Feng defended Suarez's tough assault several times.
After being cut off by Yan Feng and his teammates several times, Suarez finally got angry. He pointed at Yan Feng angrily: "You coward, coward." Didn't you say you wanted to defend me alone, why did you ask your teammates to help?"
"I just said I could defend against you alone. There's a better way to cut off your ball, why should I go head-to-head with you? I'm not brainless. Yan Feng said with a smile after seeing Lin Fan pass the broken ball to Modric to organize a counterattack.
"You~" Suarez pointed at Yan Feng, almost angry. "You mean I don't have a brain?ah!~~!"
Seeing that Suarez's eyes were red and there was a sign of exploding, Yan Feng made an arrogant expression and secretly moved forward under his feet. "What's the matter, you can't afford to lose, you want to bite me?"
"Ah!!" Suarez was really angry, and when he heard Yan Feng's words, you bite me, he really pounced on Yan Feng.
Seeing this, Yan Feng did not retreat but advanced, and met Suarez with the whole body, and sent his shoulder to Suarez's mouth. After his shoulder touched Suarez's mouth, he pushed forward, and Yan Feng suddenly covered his shoulder with his hand, shouted and lay back. "Ahh
Yan Feng's screams attracted everyone, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Yan Feng holding his shoulders and falling to the ground, while Suarez stood there with his mouth wide open with a fierce face.
"Toot!" the referee blew the whistle almost subconsciously.
"Shit! Suarez is biting again!"
"I've been bitten!" the rest of the Granada team rushed over. Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee also rushed to the scene of the incident, blocking between Suarez and the others. It was only after the rest of the Barcelona team arrived that the referee secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahh
The referee didn't think about it, just put his hand in his pocket to find the cards, and turned to Suarez.
"I~ I didn't. I didn't bite him. It was he who hit me in the mouth with his shoulder. Sureyas argued. At that moment, he did have the idea of biting, but Yan Feng's shoulder that took the initiative to send to the door hurt his mouth.
The referee didn't believe Suarez's words and raised the red card directly at the latter. Suarez has a criminal record.
“NO!” Suarez clasped his head and shouted. This is not acceptable. "How can I get a red card?
The referee shook his head and watched Suarez point to the sidelines.
Suarez was going crazy and he looked at the referee with red eyes. Messi was afraid that he would impulsively move to the referee next, so he hurriedly pulled him to the sidelines. "Don't do that, the result can't be changed. Let's go down and rest first. ”
"I don't!"
"Don't make trouble. You really shouldn't be so impulsive. ”
"I didn't. ”
"Alright. Suarez, calm down. ”
Dragged by Messi and his teammates, Suarez defended the court, but the latter's heart was really depressed and half dead.
"Brother Feng, are you okay? Unexpectedly, you were really bitten. Now you can go down in the history books of football. Lin Fan walked over and asked half-jokingly.
"I'm fine. It's not a problem at all. Yan Feng rubbed his shoulders and said with a calm expression.
Just now, he just hit Suarez's front teeth with his shoulder, and he was not bitten at all. Although there are still marks, this is not even a minor injury on the field.
"That's good. Well, now they're one less. Here's our chance. Lin Fan thought that the other party was one less, and he immediately became happy.
"Hmm. The timing came just right. Yan Feng also smiled. It's worth it. It's not in vain that I rarely played my acting skills.
Watching Suarez be kicked off the field, the Granada side found that all of a sudden, they had a numerical advantage. It's a godsend. In addition, the second half has been played for more than ten minutes, and the time that Pirlo said is almost up.
The Granada team instantly became confident and on the rise.
"Impulsiveness is the devil. Suarez was impulsive again. ”
"His impulsiveness, we are one less. It's a drag on the team. ”
"It's good that we have two balls in hand, otherwise we would have been in trouble. ”
Barcelona also reported that they were at a disadvantage in numbers, and many people were complaining about Suarez's impulsiveness. However, with a two-goal lead, they kept their mood relaxed.
Suarez's fate was a turning point. From this time on, the Granada team began to press out of the formation. Previously, Barcelona had struggled to break down Granada's defence, and with one man missing, it was difficult to do so.
The pressure on Granada's defence has dropped dramatically, and they can really start counter-attacking. So, they began to attack aggressively.
At first, Barcelona was unconcerned about Granada's attack. But after discovering that the Granada team had invested a lot of troops and was extremely resolute, they showed some signs of being unable to resist.
With Messi's active participation in the defense, the Barcelona team temporarily withstood the attack of the Granada team. But they couldn't launch a threatening attack. This time, the offense and defense are completely different.
After Barcelona's threat dropped a lot, Granada were even more bold to press the formation. Now is when they really attack.
Seeing this, Valverde immediately made adjustments. But with one person missing, physical problems began to appear. Previously, the Granada team's deliberate physical consumption made the Barcelona team suddenly unable to cope with the attack.
By the 70 minutes, Barcelona's fitness problems had become even more prominent. Originally, they were relatively old in the midfield and backfield, and after giving the initiative of the game to the opponent, it became very difficult for them to defend.
In the 75th minute, Granada finally knocked on Barcelona's goal with wave after wave of attacks. Luka Modric's split ball allowed Anthony Martial to go down and Anthony Martial's cross allowed Sandel to get on the spot.
2:1. Less than 10 minutes after Suarez was sent off, Granada took the opportunity to pull a goal back.
The Granada team didn't celebrate too much and quickly got the ball out of the net and ready to continue attacking and try to score again.
Barcelona's attack is strong, and no one can deny it. But their defense, once in the situation of the situation, was immediately exposed.
Old, physically exhausted, young players are overwhelmed. Valverde made a quick substitution, but the backline was still full of holes when the Granada team began to attack frantically.
The momentum of the two teams began to change dramatically. Now it's Granada's turn to be in good shape and keep Barcelona at the back. Rao Messi wants to change the situation, but he can't do it with just a few attacking players now.
"Brothers, hurry up and attack. Nothing is impossible. We're going to keep scoring until we win the game. Yan Feng shouted excitedly. I hope to take the opportunity to continue to increase the confidence of my teammates to win.
After pulling a goal back, the whole Granada team really saw hope of winning. Under Yan Feng's shouting, they all shouted to score goals and defeat their opponents.
After a goal was pulled back, the Barcelona team was as if they had suffered a great mental blow, and in the case of physical problems, they could not organize an effective defense at all. They couldn't stop Granada's big attack.
Five minutes later, Granada got another corner kick. And this corner, they took it. Benkovic leaped high in the crowd and slammed the ball into the Barcelona goal.
2:2.
Granada equalised.
"Wow, I scored, I scored. I equalised. Benkovich shouted with delight and frantically. Shouted out all the emotions that had been pent up before. He redeemed the mistakes he had made.
