Chapter 858: Calm Down, Listen to the Referee (Ask for a Monthly Pass)

"Luka Modric – shoot! Pretty! Valdés got the ball out – oh, Shet! What's the situation? This goal went in?! The Catalan narrator had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

The ball landed in front of goal after being saved by Valdés.

Pique, who was defending back, was so fast that he couldn't brake the car at all, and hit it directly, knocking the ball that Valdés had managed to pounce on into the net. “

"The ball is in! It was Pique who scored the goal! He 'helped' Aston Villa to take a 1-0 lead. "John. Mortenson laughed and said, "Fifty-three seconds into the game, Aston Villa scored. ”

Lying in front of the goal, Valdés turned his head to look at the football in the net, then at Pique lying in his arms, and he felt that he had something to say to Pique.

Pique was completely confused, he had just realized that something was wrong, and desperately pulled the foot brake, but it seemed that a certain piece of turf in front of the door was a little slippery, and he couldn't stop the car, and could only watch the football crash into the net.

"The turf in front of the door was so slippery that I didn't stop." Pique explained to Valdés.

Valdés sighed and didn't say anything.

He felt that Pique was quibbling whether the turf in front of the goal was slippery or not, and he was the goalkeeper who had the most right to speak, and he walked through the turf in front of the goal before the game started, and there was no problem.

It's nothing to make a mistake and score an own goal, but, quibbling, it's not right.

"Believe it or not, it's wet." Pique got up from Valdés' arms, walked over to a piece of turf in front of the door, and touched it to show Valdés.

Valdés was stunned.

He remembered that before the start of the game, he drank water, and then finally gurgled and spat several mouthfuls of water, which seemed to be where Pique had slipped and fallen.

"Hell!" Valdés scolded, "Cunning Aston Villas, this must have been the ones who poured enough water in advance." ”

"Yes, it must be like this." Peake agreed.

The two men agreed that this own goal was a pot of turf, and more specifically, it was a ploy played by the Aston Villa people.

Captain Puyol also came over and learned that the turf was slippery.

Puyol was also helpless, and he comforted the hapless Pique, signaling him not to have psychological baggage.

Guardiola was helpless, he shook his head.

Bad luck.

At the beginning, he sent an own goal to the opponent, how can this be reasonable?

Lost this ball? Aston Villa lead 1-0.

The first round? Aston Villa lost 2-3 away and Aston Villa have two away goals? That means Aston Villa only need a 1-0 win in this game to advance.

It's good now? At the start of the game, the Aston Villas were 1-0 ahead.

Guardiola glanced at Fang Jue? With his understanding of Fang Jue, in the case of a one-0 lead? Is Aston Villa in sight? Fang Jue is likely to ask for the team to switch to a counter-attack, waiting for Barcelona to attack and make mistakes at the same time.

"Looks like we're in luck." Fang Jue said with a smile.

"The boss's luck is always good." Werner said.

"No, luck is just a façade? This game? We prepared a lot, we put a lot of effort into this game. Ceballos shook his head and said.

Werner was stunned for a moment, and gave Ceballos a deep look, he now finally understood why Fang Jue had taken this assistant with him since the time of Ibiza.

Hear what Ceballos said? Listen to what he himself says, this is the art of speaking? That's the gap.

Fang Jue smiled slightly, and didn't say anything? However, he thinks Ceballos is telling the truth? For this game? Let's prepare a lot? It's a lot.

……

"Giving away an own goal package at the beginning is a very tough test for Pep Guardiola and Barcelona." "It's in Aston Villa's favour. ”

"Hey, hey, this game, I really can't say, before the game, the two sides were tense, and the war of words was flying all over the sky, who would have thought that Barcelona would come up and give gifts." Zhang Lu said with a smile.

'Now, Aston Villa have two options, one is not to be affected by this goal, play as originally planned and continue to look for goals.

"One is that you can think about counter-attacking because in this situation, Barcelona have to attack."

"Both options are fine, it depends on how Fang Jue chooses." Zhang Lu said.

The two sides kicked off again in the middle circle, and it had been playing for several minutes.

Pep Guardiola stared inside the pitch and was now very concerned about Aston Villa's conservative play after taking the lead.

To his relief, Aston Villa didn't seem to have opted for a defensive counter-attack as a result of that goal.

'Aston Villa are also trying to keep attacking, they are not conservative. Assistant coach Esdiat said to Pep Guardiola.

On the pitch, Thornton's diagonal pass was cut off and Barcelona launched a beautiful back-to-back pass.

Andres Iniesta sent in a cross and Messi volleyed the ball into the air, which made Milner, who came up to intercept, save into the air.

Subsequently, Messi stuffed the football straight into the penalty area, but unfortunately Sanchez did not form a tacit understanding with him, the running position was half a beat slower, and the football was pounced on by the attacking De Gea.

"It's just a little bit off, Sanchez only needs to start half a second early, this is the opportunity for a single goal against offside." The narrator said regretfully.

"Eddie, see it, this is the reason why Fang Jue has no choice, and he doesn't dare to choose conservative." Pep Guardiola smiled and said to his close assistant.

Yes, Guardiola feels he has found the reason, and that is:

Fang Jue is afraid of Barcelona's strong supply capacity.

Especially afraid that Barcelona has Messi.

Fang Jue obviously thinks that with Aston Villa's current broken defense, it will not be able to prevent Barcelona from scoring, so a one-goal lead is not a conservative condition at all, and it is better to play against Barcelona.

After all, compared to Aston Villa's broken and patchwork defence, Aston Villa are still a threat at the offensive end.

You know, Aston Villa also has a superstar like Bale.

This is a goal?!

He Guardiola is not afraid of this!

……

'Sadio Mane, shot, didn't hit the power.'

"Suarez, header back, Stroman passes, Bale - it's high!"

Aston Villa attacked twice in a row, and although both of them formed shots, they were not able to really threaten Barcelona's goal.

Then, Barcelona's attack came.

"Messi, beautiful, he did a wall-to-wall match with Cesc Fabregas and got the ball!"

The Catalan commentator shouted excitedly that now that the score is 0-1 down, Barcelona needs to score and a hero needs to step up.

In everyone's minds and expectations, this hero is none other than Messi.

Many Barcelona fans and Messi fans in front of the TV began to be excited and looking forward to seeing Messi get the ball.

In the eyes of a manager like Fang Jue and other football professionals, in Barcelona's team, Xavi, Iniesta, Mascherano and other players are very crucial, and compared with Messi, there is not much difference.

However, in the eyes of ordinary fans, Messi is Barcelona's top name, Barcelona's superstar, Messi is super powerful, as long as he gets the ball, just wait to see him turn the tide and put on an outstanding performance.

Although Aston Villa also has Bale, but, in the eyes of many people, Bale is still a big gap from Messi, although Bale won the FIFA Golden Ball Award last year, but Bale who won it once is still not comparable to Messi, who has won many world footballers.

Intuitively, despite Barcelona being one goal behind, Barcelona fans are not panicking too much right now because they have Messi.

Fang Jue naturally also knows that Messi is difficult and powerful.

That's why he started Stroman today.

Stroman's interception ability in midfield can help Clement and also free up Modric's attacking ability.

In the last leg at Camp Nou, Stroman did not play due to suspension.

Stroman was sent not only because of Stroman's good defensive ability, but also because this player's forward offensive ability is also good, he is on the field, in addition to liberating Modric, he can also share Modric's offensive pressure.

When attacking, Stroman can press up and help the likes of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.

When defending, Stroman is a more reliable line of defense in front of Clement.

In today's game, Guardiola wants to give full play to Messi's offensive talent, so it is Iniesta and Sanchez at the front.

Messi is positioned slightly further down the ladder in order to use Messi's individual ability to create opportunities for other teammates.

Pep Guardiola's idea is good.

However, he missed one point, that is, Fang Jue had already seen through him!

Now, as soon as Messi receives the ball, he needs to face Stroman's tough defense and pressing.

At this time, Clement may also come over at any time to help with the bag.

This leaves Messi directly exposed to the defensive tearing line of Aston Villa's two main midfielders.

Of course, Messi's individual ability is very strong, even in the face of Clement and Stroman's bag, he is able to control the football and not be robbed.

But that's all there is to it.

Messi has tried to break through Clement several times in a row, however, it is difficult to really succeed:

Even if he passed Clement's first shot, however, Clement's grappling ability is very strong and will haunt Messi, and with such a delay, the interception and encirclement of other players will be formed.

At this time, Messi will only be able to choose to pass.

……

This time, Messi turned around with a beautiful pull ball, got rid of Mane's counter-grab, and then took two steps forward with the ball, then suddenly made a sharp stop and changed direction, pulled the ball, and avoided Stroman's first grab.

The Argentine then wiped the ball at his feet and slammed it to the left.

Stroman's second counter-steal was also sided.

Modric stole the ball from the side, Messi pulled the ball on the spot, half-turned, and avoided Modric's top tackle.

"Beautiful!" Spanish journalists in the stands cheered.

Some people are already thinking about doing a special report on this consecutive pass after the game.

However, Modric's steal gave Stroman the opportunity and time to grab again.

He came up from the side and tried to break the ball, and although Messi dodged it again this time, he stumbled a little.

He wiped the ball forward, and he saw Milner's face.

This is Fang Jue's Aston Villa defense, you think you have passed one person, and then you find that there is another person in front of you and another person behind you.

Of course, in this case, Messi is bound to attract a lot of Aston Villa defenders, as long as he can pass the football to Aston Villa's defensive weak area, it could be an excellent counter-attacking opportunity.

Messi had a fast pace on his feet, barely had time to think, flicked the ball with his left foot, and as soon as he twisted his waist, he was about to pass Milner's side.

"Beautiful! Another one! The Catalan commentator shouted, and then he saw Messi fall to the ground.

"Foul!"

The whistle of referee Eriksen from Sweden sounded.

In Barcelona, in bars large and small, Barcelona fans erupted in boos, they were very unhappy with Aston Villa's foul, and for them who love Messi immensely, any act of stopping Messi's wonderful artistic football performance is a crime!

Then, the fans from as far away as Barcelona erupted into even bigger boos, echoing the boos of the Barcelona fans in attendance.

The Aston Villa fans at home were cheering.

"Referee Eriksen blew for a foul, but he blew for a foul on Messi, who he thought faked and verbally warned Messi." He Wei said, blinking his eyes, "The slow motion shows that this penalty is indeed debatable." ”

Pep Guardiola jumped to his feet in anger, and in his opinion, where it is debatable, it is obvious that the home whistle is biased in favor of Aston Villa.

Messi was knocked down by Milner, which is clearly a foul, where is the fake fall?

Such a foul, the referee actually blew Barcelona for faking a fall?

Is there any royal law left?

Is there any reason left?

Is there any fairness and justice at all?!

Pep Guardiola pulled the fourth official, angry complaints.

The fourth official reassured the Barcelona manager: Mr. Guardiola, please calm down, if you are not satisfied with this decision, you can file an objection after the game.

Appeal after the game!

The Aston Villas also appealed after the last game, did it work?

Of course, Pep Guardiola wouldn't say that.

At this time, Fang Jue looked over not far away, kindly reminded (adding fuel to the fire) and shouted, "Calm down, listen to the referee!" ”
