Chapter 83: Strong Barcelona

Although Dai Zhiwei's heavy bombardment directly "invited" Barcelona's goalkeeper off the field, causing Enrique to be forced to make an early substitution, which led to some unexpected changes in his pre-match plan, the subsequent game process was still controlled by Barcelona away from home.

Barcelona adopted a pass-and-control strategy away from home, with their first shot coming in the ninth minute when Messi played a through ball from the right and Suarez's powerful shot from 12 yards out on the right side of the box hit Asenjo and bounced into the near corner.

But before Villarreal could form an effective attack, Barcelona's attack came again, and Messi looked up with the ball in midfield to observe the situation in front of the field, and then suddenly sent a through ball, and the football passed through the gap between Bruno and Bailly.

In fact, in addition to being an unbeatable goalscorer, Messi's ability to drop back into midfield is also top-notch.

Suarez and Messi were on their toes, and his sudden forward move away from the marking Villarreal player got the ball off the back of the ball.

The Uruguayan shooter received the ball directly from the back of the thigh, and it was a big deal that Dai Zhiwei knocked down Bravo before, but the result was that his volley was saved by Asenjo again.

Although Marcelino fully analyzed and prepared for Barcelona's attack before the game, Barcelona's offensive today still gave Villarreal a headache, and he repeatedly used the defensive holes formed by Villarreal's two wings to leak frequently.

Bruno, who has been busy filling in for the full-backs, finally felt tired during a follow-up defense, and when he made a side slip tackle against Neymar, he was deformed and directly tackled the Brazilian, a penalty that undoubtedly received a yellow card.

"Wow! Is this the eighteen drops of clothes? It's too 666! Dai Zhiwei exclaimed, his tone full of sarcasm.

Although Bruno's tackle did touch Neymar, which was a standard foul action, Neymar rolled on the ground for no less than five laps, as if he had been hit by a car.

In Dai Zhiwei's view, no matter how powerful Neymar's ball skills are, he is just a clown on the green field!

Subsequently, Villarreal staged many dangerous situations in front of the goal, if he didn't know that his defense was really sparse, Dai Zhiwei wanted to withdraw to the backfield to participate in the defense.

In fact, the reason why he felt a little anxious was mainly because unlike his own inaction, Barcelona's MSN was so eye-catching, and he was completely crushed under the dirt in comparison, and he couldn't see it at all!

In particular, Dai Zhiwei's extremely disdainful Neymar once again successfully broke through the defense of Ruiz, the core of the Yellow Submarine defense, and this time the latter decisively chose to pull people to foul, but surprisingly, the referee did not award a penalty.

Obviously, the La Liga referee is also extremely disgusted with Neymar's extremely good performance side!

However, before Ruiz was happy, a minute later, Trigueros made a mistake in the return pass, and it was Neymar who burst into the penalty area to get a chance to shoot in front of Ruiz, fortunately Asenjo resolved the danger in time, but Ruiz, the big man in the team, also felt disgraced!

"Hey! Watch out for your own people! After making a successful save, Asenjo stood up and yelled at his team-mates at the back: "Don't leak any more, you know? ”

Assenjo's shouts made Ruiz's eyes look at Neymar even more viciously.

"Regardless of character, Neymar's talent is really strong! If he can focus all his attention on football itself, he can really sit in the third place in today's football, and even challenge the aging Mero duo! ”

Just when Dai Zhiwei was thinking wildly, Barcelona intercepted the pass of the Villarreal midfielder again and launched a fierce counterattack, and Bailly, who wanted to step forward to assist, had no way to rush back to the area he was responsible for defending at this time, so the youngster did not hesitate to tackle Busquets behind the side of the midfield and received a yellow card.

Bailly ignored Busquets after tackling him, getting up and running straight into his own box because he was worried about Barca's quick free-kick.

Bailly's prediction proved correct, Barcelona did as he expected, and Messi crossed the ball from the right, but Bailly was not in place at this time.

Ruiz was out of position to help the centre-back partner and Villarreal leaked in the box, and Rakitic headed the ball into the far corner of the net unattended by the onrushing Asenjo.

Fortunately, at this time, Bailly finally rushed back, and in the face of this unfast header, he cleared safely in front of the goal line.

A false alarm!

"Damn, Barcelona with full firepower is indeed not on the same level as the team with uneven personnel in the Club World Cup!" Dai Zhiwei is now also reminiscing about the process of the Club World Cup semi-final against Barcelona.

In contrast, today's Villarreal is obviously a lot stronger than Evergrande, but the current Barcelona is also better than the Barcelona team in the Club World Cup!

Therefore, Evergrande was crushed by Barcelona in the Club World Cup, and Villarreal was also suppressed by Barcelona at this moment!

"Alas, how do you feel it, it's all the fate of being beaten by Barcelona?" Dai Zhiwei has unknowingly retreated to his own half.

Barcelona continued to pass in front, but Sergio Busquets made a mistake in the midfield, Castillejo broke the ball and tucked his foot directly behind him, and Dai Zhiwei, who had been the closest spectator to the pitch, quickly plugged in.

However, Pique, who was close to him, cut off the ball with a flying tackle when Dai Zhiwei took the ball, and at the same time put him to the ground, and the referee immediately signaled for Dai Zhiwei to win a set-piece opportunity.

Unfortunately, Villarreal's attack did not create a chance to shoot with his feet, and Mario's two consecutive crosses were cleared by the opponent.

Dai Zhiwei also shook his head regretfully, unlike the laissez-faire for him in the Club World Cup, Barcelona's defenders in this game formulated targeted tactics for him, and it was difficult for him to have room to play.

But on the other hand, being able to make Barcelona specially formulate targeted tactics before the game is worthy of Dai Zhiwei's pride.

In the 36th minute, Neymar broke through on the left side and crossed, Suarez inserted three meters in front of the goal in the middle and stabbed the shot by Asenjo, Messi immediately made up the empty goal and hit the net, but the referee ruled that Suarez was offside when he shot when the linesman raised the flag, and the goal was invalid!

While several Barcelona frontcourt players were still arguing, Asenjo quickly sent a free kick, Castillejo shot directly at the edge of the penalty area with Dai Zhiwei and Soldado in place, and Ter Stegen flew to poke the ball out of the bottom line with his fingertips, which was also Villarreal's best shot on goal since the opening.

However, Villarreal only had a chance to score, but Barcelona turned it into a goal, and Messi broke the deadlock when he scored a goal on the right side of the box after receiving a ball from the top of the box from Sergio Busquets.

"This is Messi!" Dai Zhiwei looked at Messi who was celebrating with an indifferent smile on his face, and the look in his eyes was quite complicated.

Unlike Neymar's dazzling and Suarez's aura, Messi doesn't seem to have anything special on the green field at first glance, and Dai Zhiwei wants to say that his biggest special thing about Messi is that he is free, from passing to shooting, everything is so simple.

It seems that everything that is difficult in other people's places is taken for granted when it comes to Messi.

"It's a bit of a back-to-basics flavor!" Dai Zhiwei sighed, "However, there is still a gap with the big air wing, boy!" ”

"At least he can't shoot with a curve, can he?"

At the end of the first half, Villarreal did not play the style of the league Champions League team at all, and 0:1 was already a fluke in the case of full passivity.

At the start of the second half, after Marcelino's half-time explanation and tactical arrangements, Villarreal improved slightly, but at this time the Love Song Stadium still had the upper hand with the Catalan team from afar.

At the beginning of the second half, Messi quickly crossed on the side, Ruiz failed to intercept at the edge of the penalty area, and Suarez shook off the defender's guard after successfully countering offside and faced the goalkeeper alone.

After winning the ball, Suarez volleyed into the near corner, but Asenjo didn't know which ghost possessed him at this time, so he flew up and held the ball up, magically rejecting the close shot, and what made Barcelona supporters even more crazy was that Asenjo actually stood up again after the save and hugged the football into his arms again, not giving Suarez any chance to shoot at all.

This rare miraculous save from the Spanish goalkeeper was naturally met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the Yellow Submarine fans at the Love Song Stadium!

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Marcelino was a little unable to sit still, and when Bruno was booked for a foul on Turan, he quickly replaced Trigueros with Pina.

However, Villarreal still struggled to improve their attacking quality after Pina's arrival, and they did not have the advantage at home.

In front of the door of the yellow submarine that accidentally fell downwind at the Love Song Stadium, the wind was loud for a while-

In the 58th minute, Rakitic passed the ball and Neymar cut and fired wide from distance.

A minute later, Ruiz was booked for a foul on Turan at the back and Messi's long-range free-kick from 30 yards was confiscated by Asenjo.

At this time, Dai Zhiwei didn't have any dazzling performances, and even the pictures that appeared in the live broadcast were very few.

"It's a little embarrassing!" Dai Zhiwei scratched his cheek and thought.
