Although Messi's blitzkrieg goal was not Jimenez's responsibility alone, Jimenez, who rarely got a chance to start, fell into deep self-blame. Even though Godin, Courtois and other teammates who were not far away stepped forward to comfort themselves for the first time, Jimenez's face was still full of gloom.

Looking at Jimenez with a depressed face on the field, Diego Simeone, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help frowning.

Originally, Diego Simeone did not plan to send Jimenez, who is not yet 20 years old, to replace Miranda in such an important Champions League knockout round. However, Alderweireld accidentally sprained his ankle during training the day before the game, forcing Simeone to opt for the young Jimenez.

Although conceding a goal in the early stages of the game will have a certain impact on the morale of the players, the good thing is that the team still has a three-goal advantage to guarantee the bottom line, and it can also give Diego Simeone a little more peace of mind.

However, just 10 minutes after Messi broke the deadlock, Atletico Madrid's goal was once again conceded by Jimenez's mistake.

At that time, Danny Alves stumbled away from Felipe Luiz's defence on the right flank and barely managed to send a cross into the box before the ball rolled off the line.

With Neymar, the tallest player in Barcelona's attacking group, under 1.75m, they have largely given up on Danny Alves' reluctant cross.

However, Jimenez, who guarded the front point and had not yet stepped out of the shadow of the first goal, actually put the ball directly to the feet of Messi, who was ambushed outside the big penalty area and was ready to turn and retreat, without interference.

In the face of Jimenez's "kindness", Messi chose to laugh without hesitation.

Although Gabi and Raul Garcia, who were responsible for guarding the front of the penalty area, rushed to Messi at the first time, they did not dare to make too many defensive moves when the opponent had already brought the ball into the penalty area.

In this way, Messi, who has staged countless solo rides in his career, sent the football into the goal of Atletico Madrid after several flashes in the penalty area.

…………

The team's first goal conceded, Diego Simeone was barely able to accept, after all, Jimenez's playing opportunities this season are very limited, and the opponent's blitzkrieg in the early opening game did seize the hole that the game had just begun, and the team had not yet quickly adapted to the rhythm of the game.

However, when Jimenez "accurately" pushed the ball directly to Messi without interference, the emotional Diego Simeone even had to wonder in his heart whether Jimenez was "bought" by the opponent before the game.

If the substitute centre-back on the bench is just a hairy boy who has been temporarily recruited from the reserves, Diego Simeone may immediately replace Jimenez and even "put him in the cold" in future games.

Unfortunately, with the current situation, Simeone had to bite the bullet and continue to choose to "believe" Jimenez.

…………

The goal conceded shortly after the opening period, Jimenez may also be able to use "limited opportunities to play, the game has just started and has not had time to adapt to the rhythm of the game" to find an excuse for his "mistake". However, Jimenez couldn't find any reason to excuse his team's second goal.

As a result, in just over ten minutes into the game, Jimenez, who had put the team in a disadvantageous situation because of his two mistakes, not only fell into deep self-blame, but even began to wonder if it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Europe's top league with his own ability.

When Jimenez had already begun to "doubt his life", according to Diego Simeone's pre-match arrangement, Fengquan, who had been cruising in the front court, suddenly ran to the Uruguayan.

Looking at Jimenez, whose head was drooping like a defeated rooster, Feng Quan first sighed helplessly, and then raised his hand and slapped Jimenez on the back of the head.

Jimenez, who was unsuspecting and was "slapped" by Feng Quan, was stunned for a moment, and then roared at Feng Quan with an angry face: "Are you crazy!?" ”

"Oh, you're still alive?" Feng Quan pretended to be surprised and said. "When I watched you in the front court just now, I thought you were witched by Messi's guy and turned into a statue with your head bowed."

"Are you laughing at me?" In the face of Feng Quan's ridicule, Jimenez angrily grabbed Feng Quan's collar.

Seeing this, the other players of Atletico Madrid and the referee who had already walked near the center circle all quickly ran to prevent the possible all-martial arts. The Barcelona players who are celebrating the goal are holding a mentality of "watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things", paying attention to the next step of the opponent's game.

"It's time for you to wake up, José, it's not me who is really laughing at you, it's the 11 people on the other side." As he spoke, Feng Quan also pointed in the direction of the opponent's half.

"If you don't want to be ridiculed by others, you have to fight back in the way you do best, instead of looking forward and fearing on the court like a."

With that, Feng Quan first shook off Jimenez's hands that grabbed his jersey, and then quickly turned and walked in the direction of the center circle.

However, before Feng Quan could take a few steps, he was stopped by the referee who had just run near the center circle, and Jimenez, who was stunned in place, also called over.

"Even if the two of you are teammates, you are not allowed to clash on the pitch, and if you commit another offense, you will be sent off the field, do you hear me?" The referee said sternly.

Hearing this, he still had a cold face before, and then replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Referee, just now I saw that he was unhappy and didn't control his emotions, and he won't do it again in the future." ”

And Jimenez, who was standing beside Feng Quan, waited viciously for Feng Quan's glance but did not speak, but nodded in the affirmative.

"Well, just know your mistakes." After a pause, the referee said to Gabi, who was wearing the captain's armband not far away: "Hurry up and organize your team to kick off quickly, if you deliberately delay time, I will take out the cards." ”

"Be sure to follow your teachings." Feng Quan nodded with a smile on his face.

Looking at Feng Quan's low eyebrows, his teammates couldn't help but laugh, but they could also understand what Feng Quan was thinking. Just kidding, if you're constantly fouled by opposing players on the court, who will you turn to as your backer? It's not like you have to go to the referee.

Looking at Feng Quan, who was talking and laughing and walking towards the middle circle with the referee, Gabi, who was the captain, couldn't help but show appreciation on his face.

Just after conceding the second goal, Gabi comforted Jimenez along with several other older teammates, but judging from the reaction of the opponent, it didn't seem to have much effect. And Jimenez, who was stimulated by the wind, was full of fighting spirit in his eyes.

In fact, the reason why Feng Quan wanted to "provoke" Jimenez was to ignite the other party's fighting spirit. Although Jimenez rarely had the opportunity to start, through daily training, Feng Quan knew very well that the opponent was the kind of central defender who was suitable for interception.

However, Jimenez in this game, because he was worried that he would be easily broken through by the opponent's striker who is known for his physical dexterity, gave up his technical characteristics of fighting fiercely and being good at grabbing, and instead adopted a defensive strategy of distancing himself from the opponent and blocking the opponent's forward path.

In this way, although the number of times the opponent broke through with the ball, Jimenez, who abandoned his technical characteristics, not only played very well, but also gave two big gifts to the opponent because of his mistakes.

Although it may seem inappropriate for Feng Quan to do this, Gabi thinks that this may be the only way to truly "wake up" Jimenez under the current conditions.
