There has always been controversy about Zhen Shaolong's skills.

Zidane said that 'Zhen Shaolong's skills are better than Messi', which is also a topic that is easy to cause controversy, because most of the time, Messi's skills are stronger than Zhen Shaolong's.

'Technique' here refers to the control skills of the ball and dribbling.

But Zidane still said it, because he saw in Zhen Shaolong the peak skills that he had never possessed and had never reached.

That kind of technology even he can only think about.

And Messi, no.

No matter how good Messi's skills are, Zidane can do it, he can also understand the difficulty in detail, and an object that can be completely seen through feels uninteresting.

Zidane can't see through Zhen Shaolong.

Some of the skills that Zhen Shaolong showed, not only could he not do it, but he couldn't even evaluate the difficulty, and some of them were foggy, and he didn't know how to analyze them.

It's this unknown that is surprising.

Zidane believes that he has reached the pinnacle of football skills, he is recognized as a 'master of ball control' in the world, and there are only a handful of people who can trace the 100-year history of football, and at such a point, he will naturally be very surprised to find that he has a 'can't understand' technique, and he doesn't want to admit that he can't understand.

That might represent...... Outdated?

Zidane has been retired for nearly three years, but he doesn't want to admit that he is outdated, and he still feels that he is the focus of the world, so he admires Zhen Shaolong's skills very much, "Zhen Shaolong is the best technology, his excellence is amazing, even ten years ago, I may not be able to compare with him." ”

If ordinary people say this kind of thing, they will definitely be considered 'boasting', and Zidane gives people the feeling of 'modesty', and he is lowering himself to foil young people, which is a very admirable way of expression.

But......

Many people agree with Zidane's remark, "Messi's skills are not as good as Zhen Shaolong." ”

Messi's good technique is recognized.

Most people thought that Messi's skills were stronger than Zhen Shaolong's, but a comparison on the spot made it clear, Zhen Shaolong's technical performance was too amazing, Messi would definitely not be able to do it, and Messi showed only excellent breakthrough and ball control skills, ordinary fans can see it, who can be sure that kind of skill Zhen Shaolong can't do?

Many people think that Zhen Shaolong can take it for granted, more advanced skills can be made, and simple ones must be fine, just like a person can calculate complex derivatives, linear algebra, probability and other problems, many people will subconsciously feel that he will definitely calculate simple function problems in junior high school.

It's inevitable!

Not only ordinary fans, but even Messi thinks so, "Josep said that my skills are better...... It was supposed to comfort me. ”

"How can I compare to Shangzhen Shaolong......"

Messi also noticed Zhen Shaolong's stopping action, he didn't see it too clearly from a distance, but noticed that during the opponent's running, there was no additional stopping action at all, but the football was accurately controlled at his feet.

Isn't it powerful if you haven't even seen the action?

Compared with this pinnacle of stopping the ball, his breakthrough and ball control are too simple, and the 'technique' can be said to be praised!

It's so much more difficult!

"How the hell did he do it?" Messi really didn't understand, Zhen Shaolong's skills were already incomprehensible, he thought, "It seems that we still have to increase the training in ball control, I always thought that it was already the top, and it was impossible to improve much...... It seems that it was too arrogant and wrong before! ”

Messi still lamented Zhen Shaolong's skills, while Busquets was complained by his teammates.

It was Busquets' mistake.

Busquets didn't clear the siege, so he gave Zhen Shaolong a chance to go alone, and he also became the object of his teammates' complaints, "What were you doing just now!" ”

"Be serious!"

"You are defending Zhen Shaolong, and a little mistake is fatal!"

Busquets listened depressedly, and he had a temper.

Busquets comes from a much better background than most of the stars, he is a local Barcelona player, and nearby Carlos Busquets is Barcelona's backup goalkeeper, he can be said to be born into a football family, and he has been trained in football since he was a child.

At the age of 11, Busquets moved to Lleida with his father Carlos and joined the youth team of Lleida Athletic Club.

In 2003, they moved again, and Busquets moved into Djabaka's U-15 echelon.

Busquets showed his footballing talent midway through and was called up to Barcelona's youth team.

Even in Barcelona's youth team, Sergio Busquets is very talented, he has played for Barcelona youth team, has been consistent and excellent, and has even been regarded as the best performer.

Last season, Sergio Busquets was promoted to Barcelona's first team at just 20 years old.

This season, Pep Guardiola took charge and began to give more opportunities to young players, and Busquets immediately became the main midfielder with his stable and excellent drop-offs, because he is a midfielder, and even became 'indispensable'.

Barcelona has never lacked skilled fronts or tough defenders, but rather a core of midfield positions that can match the attack and stabilize the defence.

Players like Sergio Busquets are very rare.

In the entire Barcelona squad, the star that fans talk about is Messi, followed by Xavi, Eto'o, or Henry, Busquets's name is certainly not listed, but in fact, he is the most indispensable, and his importance must be more than Henry, Iniesta and others, as long as he can play, he will appear in the starting lineup.

Busquets has such an important position in the team, even if he is only a junior in age, he can't stand the 'unprovoked' complaints of his teammates.

Yes.

Unprovoked!

Busquets doesn't think there's anything wrong with him, he chokes his teammates with nothing to say, "You say I can't do it? Let's change, you come to defend him (Zhen Shaolong)! ”

"Ahem......"

Peak almost coughed up when he heard this, and quickly turned his head and pretended not to hear and ran to the side.

Iniesta chuckled dryly, "I'm going to the front." ”

"I'm going to stand at the end and command the defense. 'He's the commander of the back line.

Finally, everyone looked at Puyol.

Puyol has a huge prestige in the Barcelona team, he has played for Barcelona for too long, he has been consistent, and he is also the 'heart of the defence', the central star of the team.

Strictly speaking, Sergio Busquets is here, and it is his place that replaces him.

Facing the expectant eyes of a large group of teammates, Puyol said indifferently, "I want to pay attention to the wings, and ...... I'm old. ”

Defending Zhen Shaolong?

Puyol won't say yes!

If there is no coach's special I's advice, defending Zhen Shaolong is a 'thankless' job, before the Champions League group stage, Puyol carefully stared at the defense, but the opponent should still perform, should score or score, his defense seems to have no meaning, Puyol doesn't want to experience it again, that is a big blow to prestige.

He was thirty-one years old.

At this age, he must face a decline in form, his performance cannot be better than before, and he needs to maintain the honor and reputation he has achieved, so the responsibility of defending Zhen Shaolong is still handed over to the young Busquets!

————

The impact of Zhen Shaolong's goal is not small.

Barcelona's frontcourt was shocked by Zhen Shaolong's skills and efficiency, and the backcourt players kept pushing on defensive issues, which is enough to show how unconfident they are, no one wants to shoulder the 'impossible' work, and defending Zhen Shaolong feels 'impossible'.

When the game resumes, the mentality will also affect the performance.

Barcelona's defense of Zhen Shaolong is a bit of a 'grass and trees' feeling, the football 'maybe' pass to Zhen Shaolong's feet, the surrounding defenders will become very vigilant, and even collectively pay attention to the route, trying not to give Zhen Shaolong any chance to touch the ball.

This made Zhen Shaolong very helpless.

Barcelona's entire backline seems to be paying attention to his defense, and he has to face the opposing team alone.

Meantime.

Barcelona's emphasis on defense has also affected the attack, with Pique and Yaya Toure staying at the back, and the two full-backs, Silvinho and Puyol, feel that they are 'old', so they simply pay attention to the defensive solidity and do not often plug in to assist.

Barcelona's attack was one.

Although the offense almost relies on a few players, the whole team is involved before the offense, and if two or three players are not inserted, it will affect the overall offense, and the football control ability will be relatively weakened.

For example, Iniesta goes up to catch the ball and when he tries to pass it back, he finds that there is no teammate behind him, and the cross means danger.

He still opted for a cross and the ball was cut off.

Barcelona was cut off twice in front, Newcastle United took the opportunity to play two waves of offensives, Zhen Shaolong was tightly defended but had no chance, but because Barcelona attached too much importance to Zhen Shaolong, the defensive pressure faced by other players was not great, Owen almost got a chance, he rushed to the goal at the edge of the penalty area, and got the space to shoot with his feet, but Pique chased after him and blocked the shot with his body.

Owen held his head regretfully and walked back.

He regretted it.

Owen became famous ten years ago, and even said that ten years ago was his most glorious time, and he also won the Ballon d'Or, and played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, and now Newcastle United, but in his past career, he has not participated in the Champions League final.

Facing the Champions League final, Owen was also excited.

It's been a long time!

There are very few stars of Owen's level who have not experienced it, and being able to participate in a Champions League final can be regarded as making up for the regrets of his career, and he also hopes to show himself in the game and let fans remember him in English football, Michael Owen.

Scoring goals is the best way to show it!

When the outside media talks about Newcastle United, they only mention Zhen Shaolong's name, Owen and others have become 'others' and can only be reduced to ordinary supporting roles, Owen is very unwilling to do this, he wants to prove himself by scoring goals.

Pity......

"What a great opportunity just now!" Owen was annoyed.

Barcelona is much more troubled than Owen, Owen just didn't score himself, and Barcelona was behind the score, and the attack was slow to break through, and even said that it was worse than the performance just now.

This is something that many people can see.

The players on the field of Barcelona also had a good experience, they noticed the problem, and the players spontaneously strengthened the attack, but then they noticed Zhen Shaolong in the backfield, they looked at the game time again, or decided to drag it until halftime.

In the first half, that's it.

Barcelona is worried about the defense at the back, worried that Zhen Shaolong will perform again, and there is no way to let go of his hands and feet to attack, and Newcastle United is a passive side, and they can't take the initiative at all under strong suppression.

Time is spent in waves of offense and defense.

Soon.

Referee Massimo Busaka began to look down at the clock frequently, and when the second minute of stoppage time was over and the ball was still passed near the halfway line, Busaka blew the whistle decisively.

A long whistle also announced the end of the first half.

1 to 2.

Newcastle United led Barcelona by one goal at half-time and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room with their own moods.
