Chapter 84: Ups and downs
Seeing that he could not get one back, Marcelino immediately made a gambling substitution, replacing full-back Mario with dos Santos, and the formation on the Yellow Submarine immediately changed to a pure attacking formation of 3-5-2.
Marcelino's substitution was immediate, and after the formation changed to a more attack-friendly 3-5-2, Villarreal finally relied on the numerical advantage of the midfield to take the initiative on the field, and Denis flashed Messi, who had been causing him a lot of problems before, after all, the Argentine striker has never been good at defending.
Moreover, Messi's defensive positivity ...... You get it!
Dennis had a smooth road ahead after breaking through Messi, taking two steps forward with the ball before the opposition defender stepped forward to block it, and he opted for a low through ball with the arch of his foot.
Dai Zhiwei suddenly ran to the left side of the penalty area and coordinated with Dennis's pass seamlessly.
"Tiger Shot!"
Dai Zhiwei had another powerful shot on the left side of the penalty area, but I don't know why when he used the system skill, most of them involuntarily shouted the name of the trick.
He has a lot of hard work on this kick, and the position of the football force is also very accurate!
But it was this kick that Dai Zhiwei felt like the shot hit Pique's unconsciously open arm and deflected and popped off the bottom line.
"Handball! Handball! ”
Dai Zhiwei opened his arms and shouted to the referee, but the referee only awarded a corner.
"This is the advantage of the two giants in the Western Super League?" Although the match was played at the Love Song Stadium, Dai Zhiwei really didn't feel how much home advantage Villarreal enjoyed.
After negotiating with the referee to no avail, although he was scolding, Dai Zhiwei still left quickly and prepared for the corner kick later.
Castillejo then took a corner kick from the left, and Dai Zhiwei at the front point feint to shake up the two Barcelona central defenders, and after the opposing players rose to the top, Bailly's header from 6 yards at the back post was helplessly deflected.
"Good...... I'll it! Dai Zhiwei's eyes widened, this goal is really more difficult than scoring a goal, Bailly is using this header as a clearance, right?
Just when Villarreal gradually began to gain the upper hand on the field, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Bruno was stealing by Suarez near the halfway line, who grabbed the football without the slightest sticky ball, and directly kicked the pass without looking at people, Neymar made a one-two with Messi after winning the ball, and successfully broke into the belly of the yellow submarine.
At this time, there was a large open area in front of the Villarreal penalty area, Neymar adjusted very calmly at the front of the penalty area, and then took a step sideways to hit the goal, the ball flew into the goal, and smashed it at the junction of the crossbar and the goalpost and rebounded into the net.
0:2, Barcelona easily extended their lead!
It was Neymar's 27th goal of the season, including 21 in the league.
At this time, everyone knew that Villarreal was in big trouble!
Although the goal came from Neymar, Messi's pull undoubtedly brought him space, and it was Messi who played a one-two with Neymar to complete the assist!
After taking a 2-0 lead, the motivation of the Barcelona players on the field has dropped significantly, especially Messi has returned to walking mode.
Losing to Barcelona is not unacceptable, but it's better not to be at home.
In order to equalize, Marcelino also played the last card in his hand and hurriedly replaced Soldado with Bakambu, although Soldado and Dai Zhiwei had a better tacit understanding, but Bakambu's impact was better than Soldado, who had already played 70 minutes.
After Bakambu came on the field, he also told the Yellow Submarine players Marcelino's tactical arrangements, and also unified the idea of attacking with all his might.
Strengthening the attack on the wings, flying on both wings, the left and right full-backs having to start without hesitation and insert assists in the back row, coupled with the appropriate penetration in the middle, is the tactic that Marcelino designed for the last twenty minutes of the game for Villarreal.
It's simple, but there are only 20 minutes left, and Villarreal don't have time to play any overly complicated tactics, so it is better to use Dai Zhiwei and Bakambu's impact on Barcelona's backline to decide the final result.
It was at Marcelino's signal that dos Santos, as a fullback, boldly ran to the front to assist, and after making a one-two with Bruno to break through Roberto's defense, dos Santos glanced at the running position of the players in the penalty area, and decisively crossed from the right.
Dai Zhiwei was standing in a very bad position, and when he judged the first point of Dos Santos's pass, Pique was already standing on Dai Zhiwei's route.
Dai Zhiwei, who has been playing in the professional league for a whole year after being reborn, has gained a lot of tricks on the court, and after avoiding the referee's sight, he pushed Pique away from the position that the opponent had already occupied.
Immediately afterwards, Dai Zhiwei rushed forward, and the cross ball in front of Dos Santos did not jump, which was a lion shaking his head to attack the goal!
However, Dai Zhiwei's shot was still too positive this time and was saved by the goalkeeper.
Corner kick!
Although Pique complained to the referee that Dai Zhiwei had committed a foul before the shot, the referee ignored it.
Although in La Liga, Pique is a well-deserved big man, referees who dislike him abound.
Castillejo set up the ball in the corner flag area, exhaled deeply and fired a corner kick after the referee's whistle.
Dai Zhiwei still wanted to push Pique away again, but this time both sides had movements on their hands, and the two were entangled like a couple who never gave up.
He could only watch as the ball flew over his head, but there was confusion at the moment, and he didn't know who had hit the ball into the goal.
Villarreal pulled a goal back, 1:2, there is still a chance!
Dai Zhiwei didn't see any teammates celebrating, and he didn't care so much, he picked up the ball from the goal and ran towards the center circle line.
It was only at this time that he saw Mathieu, who was holding his head helplessly.
"This guy is so sad, he just came off the bench for a few minutes, right? Is this an oolong? ”
After the restart, Barcelona kept the ball firmly at the feet of their players with a pass.
The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
After withstanding two attacks from Villarreal after the restart, Barcelona finally got through the yellow submarine's three-plate axe safely.
Attacking from the flanks was not a difficult tactic to deal with, and Villarreal did not have a top wide player like Arjen Robben on the wing, so Barcelona quickly solidified their defence and still had the energy to threaten Villarreal's goal.
Originally, it was just a trick of Barcelona's midfield and backfield to consume the little time left in the game, Neymar passed diagonally to Turan, and then passed to Messi not far ahead, but no one thought that the Argentine suddenly chose a big-footed diagonal pass.
The pass was a well-rounded amount of advance and Rakitic was just in time to get past Bruno after the ball bounced off the ground.
Facing the football, Rakitic did not need to adjust the pace to shoot directly with his left foot, but in order to suppress the rebound half volley, his shot was not full of power, although the angle was good, but Asenjo still stretched his body in the air to receive the football firmly in the palm of his hand, and defused Barcelona's surprise attack.
Time passed like water, and Dai Zhiwei thought that he had just entered the 80th minute, but when he turned his head, he found that the fourth referee on the sidelines held up the electronic screen indicating 3 minutes of injury time.
"There's no time!" Dai Zhiwei frowned and said secretly.
Not only him, but every yellow submarine player on the field is aware of this, Villarreal's attack no longer has short-distance passes and small cooperation, once the player gets the ball, he wants to make a long pass, directly to Dai Zhiwei and Bakambu in the penalty area, but the effect is not good.
The minutes ticked by, the regular 90 minutes were over, and the game began to enter the final three minutes of stoppage time.
Seeing that the long pass effect was not good before, Bruno, as the captain, hurriedly shouted to his teammates not to blindly get up and make a long pass, just at this time Dos Santos took the ball on the right side to make a passing action, Roberto thought that this time Dos Santos would cross with his feet like before, so he stretched his legs and prepared to block the opponent's passing route.
But unexpectedly, this time Dos Santos heard Bruno's shout, and also calmed down, and a pass feint broke through Roberto's defense.
Dos Santos, who dribbled to the right side of the box, crossed again, and with no one to defend, his turn was of high quality and went over the entire Barcelona backline to the back post.
Bakambu stepped forward and headed home unguarded, but was denied by Mathieu and went just wide of the line.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Marcelino, who was on the sidelines, also kept urging.
This time the corner Villarreal was a desperate one, with all but Asenjo rushing into the box, but Trigueros' corner was headed out by Turan.
But in a long area, it would be nice for Turan to be able to push the ball out of the box at less than 1.75 meters, but who would be able to control it when it was picked up outside the penalty area?
The ball was picked up by Castillejo from outside the box, and then he got up and passed into the box.
At this time, in the forbidden area, there was a scuffle, and people turned on their backs!
