Chapter 406: It's Almost Time (2-in-1 Chapter)
During the intermission, Fang Jue saw Mata, Deisler and others muttering there, he walked over curiously, and several people immediately shut up.
What the hell?
Although he was a little curious, Fang Jue didn't ask, the players are a lot of children and have their own private topics, as long as these guys are not lazy on the field and on the training ground.
The second half of the game begins.
Fang Jue immediately captured the changes in Barcelona.
Messi was confined and he couldn't function for a while, and Cameroonian star Samuel Eto'o took on the burden of Barcelona's attack.
Against the tall Bolaruz, Eto'o used his speed to take advantage of the big man's lack of flexibility and slow turning, and began to play an attacking role.
This was when the full game was played for an hour or so.
As soon as Messi scored, Clement came up to press and the Argentine immediately passed the ball out.
Xavi wins the ball, pockets it and passes the ball to Samuel Eto'o.
The Cameroonians controlled their rhythm. Deliberately reduce the speed to attract Bora Luz to come up and defend. Then the moment Bora Luz leaned up, he suddenly smashed the ball and accelerated to get rid of it!
Bolaruz didn't expect Eto'o to be so fast, he turned around urgently, wanting to chase it, but the big man turned slowly, and by the time he completely turned to chase, he was already two positions behind Eto'o.
Just as the Barcelona commentator shouted for Eto'o's breakthrough, a figure rushed up and fell directly to the ground and slid the ball off the touchline.
"Makellele! Precise tackles! Dolores shouted, "The tackles are clean, the action is decisive, and the 36-year-old Makelele is still trustworthy." ”
……
Barcelona's touchline ball.
Iniesta threw the football to Henry.
Deisler went up and pressed.
Henry passes to Xavi and Croozas goes to press.
Xavi passes back to Keita, Mata rushes on, who continues to pass back.
'Eto'o's assault had an effect, and Ibiza responded immediately, and they pressed further.
Alves, who received the ball, made a gesture to continue the pass back, but suddenly accelerated, took advantage of the change in speed to rush past Henrik, and then chose to cross the ball sideways when Croozas came to intercept.
'Xavi got the football, he was the attacking brain of Barcelona, but today Barcelona's brain fell into a deep sleep.
If Ibiza is Messi the first to focus on today, then Xavi is the brains of Barcelona's midfield.
Xavi controlled the ball a little, and just as Hummels pounced, Xavi passed the ball, he did not pass to Keita, who was closest to him, nor to Iniesta, who came to meet him and raised his hand to ask for the ball, but directly got up and launched a long pass.
The ball slid through the air and flew to the right, where Alves, who had just completed the pass, was cutting forward at high speed, while Ibiza's left was mobilized by Barcelona's successive passes, and it was already a large amount of space.
……
"Beautiful, Xavi, his precise passing!" David. Zamora exclaimed.
The stands at the Camp Nou erupted in cheers, and in the midst of cheers, Brazilian star Alves stretched out his foot to hook the ball off in the midst of a high-speed run.
Then, instead of going to the middle, Alves continued to go down, and after attracting Koscielny to come over to defend, he made a horizontal cut, and Henrik, who was chasing back, came to intercept, but he pulled the football back and pushed it out with his left foot!
Mid lane!
Messi appeared on the football route, and the Argentine had his back to the goal, seemingly without any threat, but Messi carried Korozas alive and at the same time knocked with his heel covertly.
"Beautiful!"
"Heels! Iniesta! ”
Messi's knock directly tore through Ibiza's defense, and Iniesta appeared at the back post, and he shook his ankle and rubbed the football together.
The ball flew over Hummels' head and towards goal, where Samuel Eto'o appeared and the Cameroonian whipped the ball back into the middle of the box with the goalkeeper already on his hand and the angle of his shot was limited.
"Iniesta-W!"
Iniesta rushed to the front of the ball, and before the ball hit the ground, it was directly a volley, and the ball suddenly soared, almost against the crossbar and out of the bottom line.
……
Fang Jue jumped up suddenly, he was really shocked by Iniesta's volley into a cold sweat, the football was almost about to be high above the crossbar, if Iniesta pressed a little better when shooting, this goal can be said to be a must-score: goalkeeper Bravo just went out to block Eto'o's shot, and he had not returned to his position at this time, almost half of the empty goal.
"Ahh What a pity! What a pity! The Barcelona commentator jumped straight to his feet regretfully, "It's a pity, it's a pity, Iniesta didn't completely hold down the football ......"
Andres Iniesta also held his head in his hands in frustration, which was arguably Barcelona's best scoring opportunity so far in this game.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, Guardiola stared at Ibiza's goal, and when he saw that the ball didn't go in, he jumped up and spun in circles.
Fang Jue glanced at this, he had to admit that he thought that this guy would make a change in the second half, but he still underestimated Guardiola, Barcelona's attack was very exquisite, if it wasn't for a little bad luck, Barcelona would have scored.
In this wave of offensive routines, Barcelona's offensive focus shifted to Eto'o's body, and at the same time Alves was also activated, which drove Xavi to become active, and then the focus was that Messi's role changed, the Argentine did not try to control the ball anymore, he appeared at a certain point in the attack, just touched the ball, and this time, using the Argentine's football talent, suddenly speeding up Barcelona's attack, just like Messi's heel just now, it was very ingenious, and it directly tore apart the Ibiza defense.
……
Fang Jue shouted loudly from the sidelines, he called Makelele over, explained, and then walked back, Ceballos said to him: "The defense has been doing a good job, but if you can't prevent it once, you almost lose the ball." ”
Fang Jue nodded first, then smiled again, and glanced at the Barcelona coach's seat next door: "Don't worry, it's that guy who is most anxious now." ”
In this game, Ibiza can accept a draw, and even if it loses, Barcelona will lose, because even if it loses, Ibiza can still lead Barcelona by five points, but Barcelona must win.
Sixty-five minutes into the game, Fang Jue stared at Messi, who was estimating the Argentine's fitness.
"How?" Ceballos asked.
"Almost." Fang Jue said to Ceballos.
At this moment, Messi got the ball in front, and this time, Messi made a gesture to pass to Henry, who faked to run, and Messi suddenly carried the ball forward himself.
He first took advantage of the change in speed to get past Deisler.
Just when the Barcelona commentator shouted: "Break through, Messi continues to move forward ......", Messi was blocked by a person.
Seeing this face, the Barcelona commentator also paused before continuing, "Mark. Corosas is defending Messi. ”
Mark. Korosas is a product of La Masia's academy, and was once regarded by the Barcelona media and fans as the successor of Guardiola, the No. 4 crown prince, but, as Busquets grows, Corosas is considered the one that can be abandoned, two years ago, Fang Jue spent 500,000 euros to get Barcelona's No. 4 deposed crown prince, and then, under Fang Jue's hands, Croosas shined in La Liga, and then last summer, Barcelona spent 10 million euros' Recalled' Croosas, but, under the rule of Guardiola, Croosas, who is known as 'Guardiola's successor', was lost, and finally sat on the bench, the most outrageous thing appeared, Barcelona gave up Croosas again, Fang Jue immediately came to the door, and only spent three million euros to bring back Croosas, and then under Fang Jue's hands, Croosas' state began to slowly improve, and now, in the case of Modric's injury, it can be said that the existence of Croosas has solved Fang Jue's urgent need.
At a time when the two sides are in full swing for the title, seeing the outstanding performance of Corosas, the hearts of the Barcelona people are definitely the most depressed.
……
"Corosas, La Masia's genius, but it's always been difficult to play well at Camp Nou, and now it's our opponent."
Messi and Korosas are teammates of La Masia, the two have played together for many years, and last summer Korosas returned to the Camp Nou, Messi was happy to welcome his friend back, but he did not expect to become opponents again in the blink of an eye.
"Leo, this road doesn't work."
Although Corosus did not speak, his serious expression seemed to mean it.
Messi smiled, this scene is all too familiar, the two men had often practiced this one-on-one attack and defense when they were in La Masia before: now, it seems that time has been turned back.
He accepted the challenge of Croosas.
Messi slowed down slightly and controlled the ball at his feet.
Croozas did not intercept head-on, he was half-sideways, he knew Messi's strength and characteristics, and increased his vigilance to guard against Messi's sudden start.
Messi made a feint to cross in the hope of tricking Croozas into losing his center of gravity.
Croozas knew Messi too well, he was unmoved, steadied his center of gravity, and stared at the ball at Messi's feet.
At this moment, Iniesta suddenly ran over from the flank, and Korosas subconsciously glanced at it.
It was this opportunity that Messi decided to force a breakthrough.
He flicked the ball and broke inside with a diagonal line, but Korosas reacted quickly, he was not affected by Iniesta at all, and it was just a trick to Messi just now, so he immediately followed and leaned his body up, intending to stop Messi from speeding through.
Messi showed a smile, he knew that Korosas was lying to him, he was also biased towards Korosas, seeing Kroos being fooled and making a move, he was waiting for this moment, suddenly smashing the ball, making an emergency stop, and wanting to accelerate from the other side of Korosas!
At this moment, a smug smile appeared on Korosas's face.
……
What the?
Messi immediately realized that something was wrong.
A figure rushed up.
Then, Messi saw a leg suddenly appear in front of his eyes, and he immediately wanted to react, but at this moment, the tiredness hit, Messi knew that it was bad, his brain had already given instructions to his feet, but the movement was slow, and it was too late.
The football was shoveled away and Messi fell to the ground.
Huge boos erupted from the stands at the Camp Nou, with Barcelona fans believing that Makelele had committed a foul and that Barcelona should have been awarded a free-kick in front.
However, the referee waved his hand to signal that there was no foul, he was very close to the place of the incident, and saw the whole process clearly, and the defensive action of Makelele, who made up the defense, was crisp and neat, and there was no foul.
"Beautiful defense, Croozas is smart, he's delaying Messi and has been waiting for Makelele to return." Dolores complimented.
"From the very beginning, Mark didn't think about defending Messi alone." David. Zamora said.
……
"Fight back! Ibiza's counter-attacking chances. ”
Makelele shoveled the ball away, Clement reacted quickly, went up and kicked the ball to Henrik, who came to pick it up, and Henrik passed the ball to his teammate in front, and Ibiza suddenly pressed forward in formation and launched a quick counterattack.
Fang Jue rubbed his hands on the sidelines, he was a little surprised, he noticed that the team pressed forward very resolutely this time.
Of course, this is not to say that the players violated his tactical arrangement, Fang Jue explained that the players can counterattack when they are sure, and the specific time to implement it is up to the players themselves.
From Fang Jue's point of view, this is not the best opportunity to counterattack, however, he will not immediately shout on the sidelines to stop, he chooses to wait and see, he chooses to believe the players, they know the situation on the field best.
Mark. Korozas ignored Messi who fell to the ground and ran forward directly, Messi also got up from the ground, looking at the back of his former teammate and losing his mind.
Ibiza suddenly pressed this time, however, Barcelona was not in a hurry, because Barcelona had just organized an attack, and the players did not press too forward, so there were no obvious holes in Barcelona's midfield and backfield defense.
Seeing Ibiza suddenly press so crazy, it made Guardiola's eyes light up.
"Perhaps, this is an opportunity?" Pep Guardiola immediately walked to the sidelines, staring inside the pitch for a rare counter-attack from Ibiza if Barcelona were able to get the ball on the ball.
While Juan Mata was dribbling forward, Deisler and Lewandowski were both sprinting at full strength.
……
"Marking!" Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés shouted loudly and commanded the team's defence.
However, Mata did not pass the ball to Deisler or Lewandowski, but suddenly chose to pass the ball from the back of the middle. Corozas rushed up.
Because he rushed too hard, the rhythm of Croosas was still a little chaotic when he received the ball for the first time, but Korosas quickly adjusted his pace and sent a diagonal pass directly.
"Bora Luz!"
On the right, the tall Dutch defender cut in at high speed.
Xavi came up to make up for the defense and wanted to cut off Bolaruz's ball, but his body and tall Bora Luz were not a heavyweight at all, and the Dutchman just accelerated sideways, squeezed Xavi away, and then continued to chase the football.
Xavi was clever in his choice of tactical foul and he pulled Bolaruz's jersey.
However, the Dutchman picked up speed again, broke free from Xavi's pull and continued to move forward.
The referee was ready to blow for Barcelona for a foul, but seeing that Bora Luz continued to dribble the ball, he immediately made a favorable gesture while running.
"Stop him!" Barcelona's veteran Mexican defender Marcos shouted loudly, and Cáceres immediately rushed forward.
Marcos is highly vigilant, he acts as the last line of defense behind Cáceres, and once Cáceres is breached, it will be up to him.
Korozas looked at his former teammate who pounced, slowed down slightly and made a gesture to shoot at the same time.
Cáceres immediately turned sideways to block, and then saw Croozas dunk the ball back: pass!
