Chapter 13: Pulga, the ball is for you!
"Oh my God! Goalpost! Mainz was out of luck. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Barcelona have been severely suppressed since entering these few minutes, and so far the possession has dropped to 43 per cent, which I have never seen in Barca!"
Rijkaard should be glad that the first half was over with just over a minute left, and if it weren't for Lady Luck dozing off, Mainz would have been at least 3-0 by now! Totally suppressed! ”
These are the original words of the Spanish commentator, even if the fans slander, there is no way to refute it.
Because this explanation has been very merciless.
In addition to the score not falling behind, in terms of any other statistics, Barcelona is much behind Mainz, and when it is converted into a scene, it is completely suppressed.
After a few unsuccessful attacks in the front, Barcelona didn't even dare to press through the half, and when Barcelona didn't press through the half, their attack didn't pose the slightest threat to Mainz.
"I played well at the beginning, and it became like this when I kicked it?"
Not only the Spanish media, but also the German commentators couldn't figure it out.
Bincy has said in the commentary several times: "Last year they were able to slightly suppress Mainz, this year the same lineup, how can there be such a big difference? ”
But when two attacking teams play against each other, even if it's 0-0, it looks very comfortable, but if one team is suppressed, the game is not so good.
Rijkaard had no choice but to stand on the sidelines and do something anxious.
Mainz also didn't score, but Jurgen Klopp was much more relaxed.
"Toot-toot!" Hearing the halftime whistle, the whole Barcelona was amnesty and rushed into the players' tunnel without looking back.
Mainz, on the other hand, is also full of back.
0-0, both managers have something to say.
The moment he walked into the locker room door, Xiao Luo felt his legs tremble a little, and he almost didn't give up and tripped.
Sitting in front of the cupboard, he didn't even take off his jersey, put the towel on his face, and seemed to forget about the heat.
Messi sat next to him, tending to his shin guards and stockings.
Just as Messi turned his head and was about to take the towel behind his back, a hand reached over and patted his little arm: "Pulga, the ball is for you." ”
Pulga?
In Italian, it's a personal name, but in Spanish, it's 'little flea'.
Messi's mother used to call him a little flea, but when Aguero found out, he promoted it everywhere, and now it has become Messi's nickname.
"Pulga."
Well? When Ronaldo shouted out for the second time, Messi came back to his senses: "What? ”
Xiao Luo ripped off the towel and looked at Messi, still smiling on his face: "The ball is for you!" ”
No one knows what Xiao Luo's expression is when he is covered with a towel. Similarly, no one knows what kind of long and complicated struggle Xiao Luo went through in his heart when he covered the towel.
The shy Messi lowered his head, raised it again, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, and then lowered his head again.
He doesn't need to speak.
Ronaldo's words were not for him, but for Iniesta and Yaya Toure.
Not speaking does not mean that you are ignorant of the world.
The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.
Iniesta is not as good as Xavi in command, nor as calm as Deco, and his style of play is more aggressive.
doesn't mean that he is a dumbfounder, Iniesta understood Xiao Luo's meaning one step earlier than Messi.
There was no communication, Iniesta buried his head in his face, pretending to be a little tired, but in fact he was already hiding his face and sobbing.
If the news of what happened in the dressing room could get out, the media would never believe Andres Iniesta crying for Ronaldo.
But people outside of a team will never know the complicated feelings in the locker room.
It's like the game after Ribery decided to leave, he was silent at half-time and cried bitterly.
Can Wang Zhen persuade Ribery? Is it good to go up and say, 'It's good for you to go?'
Can Iniesta go up and persuade Ronaldo? Is he going to say, you shouldn't make room for Messi?
This place, the silence is terrible.
Ronaldo wants to continue to fight with these people for another season, but he also wants to leave immediately and never return to Camp Nou.
The silence lasted for ten minutes, and even Rijkaard could not muster up the courage to say a word of encouragement.
"Smack!" Someone clapped their hands: "Let's play!" ”
On the sidelines of the pitch, Klopp stood with his arms in his arms, staring intently at the players who were warming up, thinking about the problem.
The game restarted, Mainz attacked out of bounds, and Barcelona chose to attack directly after getting the ball.
Football soon reached the feet of Iniesta.
Iniesta looked up and found that Ronaldo's position was infinitely close to the penalty area, and then quickly made a breakthrough, and passed the ball to Messi under the pressure given by Zidane.
Messi took the ball, started instantly, and his short and fast pace was brought to the extreme.
However, Arshavin, who was killed in the diagonal stab, leaned directly on, and Messi was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.
The referee gave Arshavin a yellow card, and Arshavin didn't speak, pulling up Messi.
'It was the first card for both sides, and at the beginning of the second half, they got a card, which laid a problem for Mainz on the left side.
Hidden dangers? Not necessarily.
After a change of possession, Mainz regained the dominance.
Even if Messi starts to get the ball, he can't force Mainz to back down before he really threatens, so Barcelona still can't get out.
"Rijkaard called Harvey! He's going to play in midfield? ”
The lungs of Barcelona, coming on? Replace whom? It definitely won't be the striker trio.
These three people were not in good shape, and they replaced one of them, and the goal was even more hopeless, so they could only be midfielders, and they could not replace Yaya Toure, who performed the best.
It can only be Messi and Iniesta.
This move also directly affected the field.
Now everyone in Barcelona is not paying attention, and some people have caught a glimpse of this scene.
When you think about problems, it's like desertion.
Zidane broke through Iniesta and moved closer to Yaya Toure!
Yaya Toure was forced to have no choice but to grab, this position has already entered the range of Zidane, if the angle is blocked, it will not be able to stop Zidane from passing the ball to Wang Zhen, so he can only rush forward.
Zidane saw that Yaya Toure had really stepped forward, and then turned to the left, and the football was directly given out.
Arshavin!
Messi is probably the most focused person in the entire Barcelona now, and when he saw Arshavin step forward with the ball, he immediately chased forward.
Arshavin didn't think about squeezing Messi into the penalty area, but went straight to the bottom!
He went to the bottom, and both sides could only lean towards the goal.
On the way to the bottom, before he reached the position, Arshavin directly played the ball in advance!
Messi's eyes were still very fast, and he blocked it directly, but the football still flew to the penalty area.
"This is an opportunity!"
Arshavin was still two meters away from the bottom and didn't rush down, so Barcelona's defense retreated.
In the face of football, Wang Zhen had already judged the position, took a step back and waited for the football.
Abidal hurried over to interfere.
Puyol and Milito simply stood on the goal line, ready to help Valdés block the ball with his body.
It's not a header anymore, but it's not a header at all.
The football directly crossed Wang Zhen, and Wang Zhen was still more than half a meter away from the football!
Leaky balls?
Who is the back point?
David Beckham slapped his horse and threw his leg at the football.
The three on the goal line were startled and leaned directly towards the right post.
However, football is given in front of the goal.
Straight to the small penalty line.
After landing on the ground, Wang Zhen was running towards the goal, facing the football, and stepped on the sole of his shoe.
The ball rolled out a little, then jumped up and flew into the goal from above Puyol's right leg, which was about to expand the defensive zone.
“TOOOOOOOOOR――!”
