Chapter 635: Messi's Fight Back

Although Barcelona quickly took the initiative on the field from the beginning of the game, the home fans did not feel the slightest disappointment and unwillingness, because they all knew that as long as there was wind, it would be difficult to lose at Atletico Madrid. Therefore, as loyal fans, they just need to cheer for Atletico Madrid in their own way, and then wait for Feng Quan to lead the team to victory.

However, although the fans have become accustomed to the feeling of victory with the brilliant results of Atletico Madrid in the past two years, and even some fans who are not very loyal even feel a little numb to it, when Feng Quan took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field, more than 50,000 home fans still erupted in deafening cheers to express the highest respect for the team's heroes.

On the contrary, the more than 3,000 Barcelona fans, who have been very active since the start of the game, were as if someone had poured cold water on their heads. Then he sat down in his seat in a daze; Or they cover their faces and don't want to see the team they support only serve as a backdrop for their opponents to celebrate their goals, and some of the more radical ones even curse the incompetence of the Barcelona players, leaving themselves from afar to suffer the humiliation of their enemies.

At this moment, Luis Enrique in the Barcelona coach's box frowned a little tighter.

Although the first 20 minutes of the game had left Luis Enrique feeling uneasy, he was confident that his side would be victorious in all three of their previous meetings this season.

Yes, Barcelona have won three times against Atletico Madrid this season, but Luis Enrique has overlooked a very important issue - Feng Quan missed those three games due to his participation in the Asian Cup.

Although the game of soccer is a team event of 11 people, when the two teams are evenly matched, the flash of inspiration of a superstar can often directly determine the outcome of a game.

Although Feng Quan's breakthrough with the ball is not gorgeous, it relies more on changing direction to get rid of the opponent's marking, so that many fans often cry out "I can do this too".

However, even though defenders can often guess that Feng Quanquan will break through in a change of direction, the body does not have time to react, and many times there is no chance to even foul him.

…………

Looking at Feng Quan, who was standing on the sidelines to accept the "worship" of the home team's fans, Messi, who was considered to have the best chance of becoming a new generation of football kings, tightened his fists, and his originally very focused eyes became a little sharper.

After seeing Messi's sharp eyes, Xavi, who was still a little nervous because of the goal loss, couldn't help but show a smile on his face. As a comrade-in-arms who has been fighting side by side for more than ten years, Xavi knows very well that Messi's appearance means that he has to give it his all.

Long before the wind was born, although the two Melo, who were often able to change the outcome of a game by themselves, were known as the "peerless duo" of world football, in the eyes of many football authorities, the more talented Messi should have achieved higher achievements.

Although Messi is not an arrogant and lazy person, he is indeed slightly inferior to Ronaldo in terms of diligence in training and focus on the game. It was for this reason that he was not able to fully exploit his talent and thus achieve something that surpassed the Portuguese.

However, at some times, Messi will also focus on the game under the stimulation of strong opponents, and once he enters such a state, Messi will be like the "ZONE" state in the Japanese manga "Kuroko's Basketball", and his full potential will be exploded.

Of course, although the "ZONE" state can greatly increase Messi's strength, such a state is not only difficult to last, but also accelerates his physical exertion. Once Messi is unable to help the team seal the win in the "ZONE" state, then when he cannot continue to maintain this form, his strength will even be greatly reduced due to excessive physical consumption.

Although Messi in the "ZONE" state is a double-edged sword, in Xavi's memory, Barcelona has not tasted defeat in any game when Messi opened the "ZONE" state.

…………

In previous matches, Atletico Madrid's defenders were also able to interfere with Messi's receiving the ball with ferocious collisions to delay his next attack, thus buying time for other teammates to make up for it.

But after the game restarted, they were surprised to find that Messi, who had been a headache before, seemed to have become more difficult.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Neymar had just collided with Andres Iniesta to get rid of Saul's marking, and was about to continue to push forward when he was intercepted by Raul Garcia head-on, and Saul, who had just been freed by him, quickly approached from his flank.

Just when Neymar was about to choose a strong burst, Messi, who was originally cruising on the right side, suddenly retracted to the middle and shouted to Neymar to pass the ball to him.

Felipe Luiz, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Messi, was sticking behind the Argentine, ready to use his strength advantage to interfere with the opponent's catch.

At this moment, the moving Messi seemed to have long eyes behind his head, and when Felipe Luiz's arm had just touched his body, he suddenly made a sharp stop and turned diagonally into the gap on the right side.

At the same time, Neymar, who understood it, directly sent the football to Messi's front with a direct pick-up pass.

Felipe Luiz, who stopped the momentum, rushed to Messi for the first time, but before he could stabilize his pace, he was shaken by Messi's simple change of direction and lost his center of gravity and almost fell to the ground.

Although Messi in the "ZONE" state is difficult, Atletico Madrid's defense is not vegetarian. The moment Messi dribbled into the penalty area, captain Gabi and central defender Godin formed a flank against him. At the same time, Felipe Luiz, who came back, and Koke, who helped the defense, also blocked the connection between Messi and other teammates.

At this time, Messi finally completely fulfilled his talent.

Facing the encirclement and interception of 4 Atletico Madrid players, Messi, who was facing the goal, first dialed the ball to the bottom line with his right foot, and then picked up his right foot to hit the goal.

Just as Godin quickly fell to the ground and slid to try to block the shooting route, Messi's right foot did not volley the football, but lightly dunked the ball back.

Gabi, who was already ready to make up for it, quickly leaned in to Messi at the same time as Godin made a sliding tackle, and was ready to complete a steal the next moment when he finished touching the ball.

It's a pity that just when Gabi saw the opportunity and was about to kick, Messi in the "ZONE" state took a step ahead of him and dodged his steal.

Immediately afterwards, Messi, who dodged a little bit of the shooting angle, did not give Godin and Gabi any chance to react, and hit the goal with his left foot.

Although Oblak made an accurate judgment the moment Messi shot and pounced on the left side of the goal, the ball with a strong choice went around Oblak's fingertips and drilled into the top right corner of the goal......
