Watching Yang Yang excitedly rush out of the stadium and celebrate his brace, Messi felt very depressed.

Because compared with Yang Yang's brilliance, he looked very sluggish in this game.

It's not just him, the whole Barcelona team doesn't look excited enough.

Is it a problem for the team to fight on multiple fronts?

There were reasons for that, especially in the second half, but not all.

Prior to this game, Messi had only played two games, at home to Racing Santander, where he played twenty-two minutes as a substitute, and away to Valencia, where he played thirty-five minutes.

It's fair to say that he hasn't found his form at all, let alone at his best.

Rijkaard arranged him to start in the hope that he could echo Ronaldinho, but this is exactly what Liverpool do not want him to do, and Benitez arranged for the right-footed Arbeloa to mark him specifically in this game.

How tough are Spaniards?

Throughout the first half, 45 minutes, Barcelona dominated possession, but Messi only had a pitiful sixteen touches and 12 passes, most of which were on the wings.

Arbeloa's defense is very crumbling, he is more about cutting off passes to Messi from the middle and left, and as long as Messi has the ball on the wing, he mainly blocks his inside line and keeps him active on the wing.

But the worst thing is that Messi's right foot can't play a threat at all.

Ronaldinho was isolated on the left, the middle of the midfield was suppressed, Saviola never showed satisfactory strength, and Barcelona's entire midfield attack was almost paralyzed.

Messi wants to make a difference, he wants to help the team, but he can't.

Before the game, many Catalan media had high hopes for him, and the World Sports newspaper even believed that tonight would be Leao's night, but the game has been carried out so far, it is better to say that it is Yangyang's night.

Or rather, it's a nightmare night in Barcelona!

…………

…………

Messi's helplessness is definitely not an isolated case, but the voice of many Barcelona stars.

They're all trying hard to get a better performance, but there's really only so much they can do when the tactics are completely suppressed.

In this case, everyone is counting on Ronaldinho to be able to transform into a superman like he did in the previous two seasons, and with a stunning performance, break through Liverpool's steel defense and achieve victory for Barcelona.

But it's clear that Ronaldinho no longer has the magic of the past two years.

It's like a magician who has lost his wand, lost his magical powers.

Samuel Eto'o broke with the coaching staff and management and was banned from the squad, Rijkaard has never been good at commanding on the spot, and Messi is only 19 years old, too young to take the lead in the team independently......

In the second half, Barcelona's most dangerous chance came from Messi's pass on the left.

Saviola shook past Carragher and burst into the box to shoot, which was saved by Reina.

After Messi won the ball, he broke through Arbeloa laterally and hit the goal, but he was a little hasty, and was blocked by Finnen, but he still failed to create a threat.

Judging by the performances on the pitch, Barcelona have never been able to come up with an effective way to change the situation.

On the contrary, Liverpool, after the two-goal reversal of Barcelona, played more and more confidently, and the team firmly grasped the defense and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

And Barcelona's more and more impatient minds are also constantly exposing problems.

Soon, Liverpool seized another chance.

…………

…………

'The Liverpool midfielder broke the ball, Sissoko steals and passes to Gerrard.'

'Steven Gerrard picked up the ball on the right and chose to go forward.

'Liverpool launched a quick counter-attack and the front three were all in the attack.

'Kuyt quickly cut diagonally into the box and opened up for Geraldera.

"Gerrard got to the right side of the box, crossed straight and found Kuyt in front."

"Kuyt's header ......"

Valdés flew to the ball and knocked it out.

"But the ball was still in the box, Crouch grabbed the first drop and nodded, and the header was ferried to the back post......"

……

When he was on a quick counterattack just now, Yang Yang saw Gerrard advancing quickly with the ball on the right side, and he chose to take a step behind.

This is to open up the defense in the penalty area and also to create an offensive layer.

But he was sure enough that if Gerrard crossed straight to the back post, he would cut in as soon as possible.

Steven Gerrard opted to find Kuyt at the front post, but the Dutch striker's header was blocked by Valdés.

At this time, Yang Yang noticed Crouch, so he quickly rushed into the forbidden area.

Sure enough, Crouch had an overwhelming advantage in height, and when he had no chance to shoot, he chose to ferry the header to the back point, and Yang Yang inserted it at this time and just picked up a big bargain.

Belletti followed Yang Yang closely, and Rafael Marcos was also constantly retreating, judging where the ball would land.

The two of them went one after the other, sandwiching Yang Yang in the middle, but they couldn't stand Yang Yang jumping higher.

Rafael Marcos is about the same height as Yang Yang, but he is retreating, and Yang Yang has a running distance, so after jumping, Yang Yang is a lot taller than him.

As for Belletti behind him, he couldn't jump at all.

After jumping up, the ball came right in front of him, Yang Yang quickly probed a little, and hit the ball firmly with his forehead.

The ball changed direction and flew straight into Barcelona's goal!

……

"Wow!!!"

"Oh God! The ball went in again!!!! ”

"Hat-trick!"

"Hat-trick!!"

"Oh my God, Yang Yang scored a hat trick!"

"And with his worst header!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"His bounce is so amazing, he is a head higher than Marcos, and the Mexican central defender can't fight for him at all, so he can only watch Yang Yang score with a header!"

"Three to one! Liverpool reversed Barcelona! ”

……

After Yang Yang landed, he turned around as soon as he landed, and the whole person quickly rushed to the sidelines.

This is the third time he has glided at the Camp Nou in this race.

The 95,000 Barcelona fans in the stadium were silent, no boos, but no applause.

In fact, after scoring the third goal, Yang Yang was not too excited, because the third goal came by coincidence.

Of course, he did deliberately take a step behind beforehand and then suddenly plug in, which would make it more difficult for the defenders to defend him, but it was a bit of a coincidence, and the chances created by his teammates were so good that it was impossible to say otherwise.

Maybe it was because he celebrated three times, or maybe it was because the goal came too easily, but Yang Yang was not as excited as the previous two times, he just ran to the sidelines, waved his hand, turned around, and hugged his teammates who caught up.

……

"Barcelona suffered a complete defeat!"

"It's definitely an unacceptable fact, but Liverpool did play better and more alive in this game, especially Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick at Camp Nou!"

"Rijkaard should have to reflect on his tactics, because Ronaldinho and Messi were obviously limited by Liverpool in this game, but as the head coach of the team, neither Iniesta nor Giuli could change the situation of attacking in the front court after coming on the field."

"This is absolutely unqualified!"

"From 1-0 to 1-3, Barcelona suffered a nightmare comeback, especially at the Camp Nou, which almost completely ruined Barcelona's possibility of progressing from the round of 16."

"But anyway, there's still the second leg, and as long as Rijkaard can find the strongest Barcelona team, then it's all unknown."

"On the other hand, Liverpool, Benitez's tactical attainments are indeed admirable, almost all of Barcelona were suppressed, and the addition of Yang Yang has greatly improved Liverpool's offensive ability."

"This hat-trick tonight is the best example of that!"

……

After celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines, Yang Yang also ran to the coach's seat of the visiting team, took the initiative to shake hands and hug Benitez, and then the head assistant coach Yesterdam.

For Benitez and Yesterdam, Yang Yang is full of respect.

Rafa Benitez is one of the most tactically skilled managers he's ever experienced, with the Spaniard taking care of everything that might happen on the pitch in almost every game.

Sometimes, Yang Yang even wonders, could this guy who looks indifferent, very mechanical, and without the slightest expression really be a robot?

Jesterdam, on the other hand, is a Spaniard who always has a kind smile on his face.

I really don't know how these two people came together, and how can they work together so well?

Coming out of the away team's coach's box, Yang Yang ran right in front of Messi.

The Argentine looked a little lonely, but Yang Yang still nodded and smiled politely at him.

Messi was a little surprised, and quickly nodded, which was a return gift.

You come and go on the field, and the winner depends on your ability, but you still have to have the least politeness.

And Yang Yang still clearly remembers that when he attended the FIFA awards ceremony in December, Ronaldinho jokingly said when he saw Yang Yang that he and Messi were ready to wait for him at Camp Nou.

At that time, Brazilians were still so high-spirited.

But who would have thought that just two months later, everything would change so amazingly.

Impenetrable fortresses are always the first to be breached and dismantled from within.

As the reigning champions of the Champions League, Barcelona not only lost to Liverpool, but more importantly, they lost to themselves.

Perhaps, from the moment Eto'o confronted the media and exposed the contradictions within the dressing room and management, Barcelona had already lost.

And after realizing this layer, Yang Yang realized that it is not easy for a team like Liverpool to have such a united locker room!
