Volume 6 Chapter 25 First to the next city
Spanish mainly consists of 5 regional languages, Castilian, Catalan, Basque, etc., and the main thing we know in our daily life is Castilian.
It's like a domestic dialect, you know that everyone speaks Chinese, but you just can't understand it.
This is not the first time Mackin has encountered such a situation, so even if the shouts of the Barcelona players on the opposite side keep reaching his ears, he doesn't know what it means.
Of course, if he understands it, he will know that they are actually shouting some passwords in defense, which are used to coordinate the whole team's defensive system, even if he understands the literal meaning, he does not know the specific meaning.
"Oh roar, Aguero is nice to get rid of, Pique is moving a little slower, Aguero, ...... from a distance", Maria's commentary has a distinctively Latin rhyme, as if she were rapping.
Valdés was well positioned this time, with a side-saving keep the ball firmly under him, and Atletico Madrid combined to shoot in front of the penalty area.
"They played with a lot of confidence", Morrison commented, "Even Real Madrid had to use a lot of wing attacks to crack in the face of Barcelona's oppression, but now Atletico Madrid has been able to compete with Barcelona and fight for control of the field, two years ago you would never have imagined that Atletico would become what it is now"
They are definitely rising quasi-giants, and they only need some more championship trophies to cooperate, and they can complete the transformation of the road to giants.
Pep Guardiola is still frowning and standing on the sidelines, worried that if he can't press his opponent up front, their backfield really won't be able to completely reassure him.
But against Atletico Madrid, the scene is not something he can control if he wants to, he only hopes that the players on the field can make fewer mistakes, as long as they don't lose today, he can accept a draw.
In three consecutive matches, he believes that Ancelotti, like him, will not use all his strength in one game, and the average fan can understand that the third game at Camp Nou is the most important one.
The pitch continued to flow and converge with each other, Barcelona once again engaged in the attack, and it was clear that they had also learned the strategy of Atletico Madrid in this game after the initial attempt, and they showed more patience in attacking this time.
Only the fans in the stands were singing and shouting wildly wave after wave, from the beginning of the game, and it is believed that it will continue until the end of the game.
"Andres Iniesta tried to break down the flank, but Juanfran didn't give him a chance", said Maria, "Barcelona patiently looked for chances on the periphery"
"Actually, I've always felt that Ancelotti's ability to adjust the defense is no worse than Mourinho's," Morrison said casually, "and under him, the Atletico players have a very good defensive attitude"
"It's no surprise that even Mark is so dedicated to defending on the pitch to know why they are so motivated," Maria said with a smile.
With that, Xavi received the ball and quickly half-turned, and a diagonal overhead pass moved the ball to the right side of the pitch, where Messi was on the side.
Defending a team like Barcelona, shrinking in front of the penalty area is a must, and even if Calderón is not wide in width, there is space on both sides.
"Messi, he's got the ball", Maria shouted, it felt like a nuclear bomb was ready to be launched, "Messi, Messi......"
Just listen to his fast-paced shouting to know what Messi is doing now, Felipe and Sanchez are firmly blocking his path into the box from inside the penalty line.
But this can't help Messi.
He quickly flicked the ball with his left foot, turned a right angle along the line of the penalty area, and then dribbled quickly, and at this point, the defenders always had the feeling that maybe I could break the ball in front of me with my foot outstretched.
After all, I have long legs.
First Felipe, then Sanchez, then Martinez, who was the main force in Atletico's midfield defense because he had the largest defensive area.
Instead of stretching his legs, he pressed forward tightly against Messi, enveloping his range of motion and creating opportunities for his teammates behind him to break or destroy.
"Messi, Messi, he's too fast, his dribbling is unparalleled in the world", Mari shouted excitedly, even though he has seen it many times, but every time Messi flashes and moves in a small space, it can give people a feeling of oh, how is it possible, how can it be.
Because many times the gaps between his change of direction and plugging direct passes cannot be seen in the live broadcast, and among the countless pairs of legs, it is not only his movements that he is fast, but his thinking is also fast!
Mackin hurriedly mentioned the top of the arc of the big penalty area, because Messi had already come, he had never thought about breaking the ball, and Messi at this time, he would never be able to break it alone.
But he has his own way, and instantly roughly felt the possible passing angle of Messi, and he directly turned sideways, tried to form the longest blocking area on the ground, and put the shovel directly.
As for the long-range shot, that needs to be left to De Gea, and he does it just to try to let Messi choose the way to do the least damage to their back line.
Between the lightning and flint, a white light suddenly flew up, but Ma Qin, who fell to the ground, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Messi, pick up the pass ......", Villa pressed in the middle and did not move, but Iniesta inserted it instantly in front of the big penalty area and went straight to the ball landing point.
"Shoot ......", with a shout from Maria, Iniesta volleyed directly into the run, and Godin's right leg that raised the block also appeared instantly.
"Bang", the ball hit the underside of Godin's calf, and by the time it reached De Gea, there was no threat and he easily got it.
"Godin's defense is in place, this block is quite crucial", Maria shouted, "It seems that the goalkeepers of both teams will not be able to relax today, Atletico, counterattack ......"
Before Maria could finish shouting, De Gea, who caught the ball with both hands, threw the ball forward with a strong hand, and there, there was Mack Qin who got up and ran wildly.
In the live broadcast footage, Messi is firmly chasing Mackin behind him, just like chasing Kaka back then, trying to sabotage his catch.
Of course, Mack Qin couldn't outrun Messi, and he didn't do this kind of useless struggle, facing the ball sitting on his head from behind, like lifting his leg while running, or even a standard kicking action, directly letting the ball meet the outside of the raised left foot.
Then the ball flew up like a mischievous elf before it hit the ground, heading straight for the gap left by Alves on the left side.
"......Boom", Calderón boiled all at once, this was a sharp and fast attack, and the flying Aguero exerted his maximum speed and ran directly to the side.
Without the shackles of the ball, Mackin turned on his maximum speed, directly following up from the middle, and on his left and right Sanchez and Juan Mata, Atletico Madrid fired four arrows together.
Barcelona's defenders also followed the madness, and even Messi was following Mack Qin all the time, running directly back to his backfield from the front.
"Sergio Aguero, he has a lot of space on the wing, but I have to say that Mark's pass just now is like Zidane, it's the perfect combination of art, beauty and efficiency!" , Maria exclaimed.
Carlo Ancelotti was looking forward to it on the sidelines, as it was the first time they had been able to play such a counter-attack in this game, and Barcelona's defence was not well organised.
The whole attack was quite simple and fast, with Sergio Aguero scurrying with the ball until the edge of the box before stopping, a frantically chasing Pique defending in the box, and Mascherano and Buzkets also recovered into the box.
He made a sharp stop with the outside of his right foot, then flicked the ball to his right foot, and then watched Sanchez, Mackin and Juan Mata rush up and he crossed directly.
Nothing superfluous.
The ball rose up and went around Butskec and Sanchez and straight to the back post, where Mata quickly predicted the drop and then deliberately took a step sideways on the run to block Enrique's return defence.
At the back post, only Mascherano and Mackqin remained, oh, and Messi who chased back into the box!
"Good ball, good pass from Aguero, chance", Maria shouted, the ball was not slow, with a small arc, and fell directly to the overhead area of the trio.
The not tall Mack, the shorter horse, the shorter Messi, at this moment, this picture actually exudes some kind of indescribable embarrassment, these three people compete for the header, it should be, it's very interesting.
Mascherano and Messi, one in front of Macqin and the other on his left-hand side, were firmly stuck in position and tried to clear early.
Makqin looked sideways at the ball that was about to fly, quickly judged the situation, turned his mind, stretched out his hand to support Mascherano, immediately turned around, leaned on Messi with his back, and rose into the air.
"Mark ......," Maria shouted at the sight of his movements even more frantically.
Messi was pressed by Mackqin, he didn't react when he looked at the ball for a while, and it was completely late when he wanted to make a move, and all the fans of Calderon burst into flames.
After a Messi, Mascherano couldn't grab the landing point at the first time, so he could only watch Macchaelin stretch his body in the air like Valdés.
Kick down with your right leg, straighten your waist, and then swing your left leg quickly with the help of your foot, and the arch of your foot hits the side of the flying ball, which is solid.
The ball almost snapped a sickle corner, and under Valdés' eyes, it crashed headlong into the net from the near post, his right-hand side!
"Goaaaaaaal......, Mark, GoalGoal......, it's just a standard center's move, turn your back and volley barb, omnipotent Mark ......", Maria yelled frantically.
More than 60,000 fans in the Calderón stands raised their hands with a "bang" and shouted into the stadium with red faces, they had scored!
"The ball is in, beautiful, beautiful ......", Zhan Jun looked at the fan message platform that was blown up in an instant, and shouted excitedly, "Mr. Ma, volley barb, Atletico Madrid took the lead through a quick attack"
After kicking this kick, Mackin fell directly next to Messi on the lawn in the Barcelona penalty area, and the moment he hit the ball, he knew that the ball was there.
When he lay on the ground and looked sideways at the ball in the net, he was so excited that it almost exploded, it was his first goal in the quarter-finals in two years, and the key was that it was pretty, pretty, very pretty.
Important things to say three times.
He directly turned around and stood up, opened his arms and roared to the sidelines, like an eagle spreading its wings and flying, the whole Calderón was his hunting territory.
"Mr. Ma, Atletico Madrid, Calderon, Champions League quarterfinals", Zhan Jun looked at the running Mack Qin and continued to shout excitedly, "At this moment, Mr. Ma led his teammates to launch a fierce impact on Atletico Madrid's second Champions League semi-final in 37 years"
When the Atletico Madrid players saw the ball into the net, they all rushed to chase Mackqin, and they were extremely excited, haha, this is not a league, this is a ticket to the Champions League semifinals!
Ancelotti excitedly ran to his assistant coach with his fists clenched and hugged him, the only way to express his inner excitement.
Pep Guardiola slapped himself on the head and, alas, it is getting harder and harder to defend Mark, and his actions and movements are becoming more and more unpredictable.
For example, this goal, it can only be said that Atletico Madrid's attack is too fast, Messi has chased him to the penalty area and still failed to prevent him, this kind of action is improvised.
You can't predict the schedule in advance.
Messi stood in the penalty area with his back crossed and depressed, looking at the Atletico Madrid players who were running to celebrate, and being defeated in this direct dialogue, or in this way, it made him want to cry without tears.
Damn, I'm really not good at headers.
The ecstatic Atletico Madrid players celebrated wildly towards the stands in the corner flag area for a while, and only then did they walk back to know that the vibrations of the Calderón stands had stopped.
In the 38th minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid relied on Mackqin's goal to take a 1-0 lead.
"It's a good game now", Zhang Lu said with a smile, "Atletico Madrid's goal will definitely stimulate Barcelona's more crazy attack, but with Atletico's state today, it's really impossible to say who will have the last laugh in the end."
"Yes", Zhan Jun nodded, "These two teams will definitely not play each other's blank papers"
The referee saw both teams return to their positions and blew the whistle for the restart of the game.
There was not much time left in the first half, and Barcelona immediately launched a more active attack after the restart, especially Messi, who was holding back a wave of anger.
But Pep Guardiola on the sidelines was unusual, constantly letting Barcelona's backfield players stabilize on the sidelines, not to be counterattacked again, if they fell behind 0:2, it was not a pleasant score for them.
Especially since this is the half of the game.
Messi has indeed caused a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid, especially when the anger value is full, and this season, it is really his absolute peak.
Sanchez even gave up most of the frontcourt attacks in order to help Messi defend, and in order to keep the first half victory, Atletico Madrid also chose to recycle appropriately.
"Messi, he's here again, the goal just now obviously stimulated him quite a lot, he felt a little crazy these minutes", Maria explained, "Felipe, Felipe, he didn't stop Messi, it was too fast, he dribbled the ball straight to the bottom line......"
In the tight space on the right side, Messi first flashed past Sanchez, and then directly used his speed to break through Felipe and go straight to the bottom line, but just as he swept the ball towards the small penalty area, the figure he was familiar with slid again and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line.
"Whew", Messi didn't control his inertia and fell out of the bottom line with Mackqin, he looked at the player who he considered to be one of the biggest opponents in his life, so hard to defend.
Just like he chased back to the forbidden area just now, he knew it......
