Volume 5 Chapter 32 The big picture has been decided
The focus of the 21st round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid VS Barcelona, is being played out intensely at Calderón Stadium, which is breathless.
Goals after goals from both sides, and if you're a fan, it's a dizzying game with no chance to relax.
The game was extremely open, which surprised many commentators who thought that this game was Barcelona's attack and Atletico Madrid's counterattack, and no one expected Atletico Madrid to be so strong at home.
3:2, an average of more than 10 minutes of a goal, you chase me, Atletico Madrid with the opening surprise attack, now has an advantage in the score.
But that advantage can be overturned at any moment, because on the opposite side is Barcelona.
The players on both sides were panting heavily, and no one dared to relax and stop a little, once this breath was released, it would be difficult to find it again.
Now, it's a sprint race between the two teams, especially between the stars, Villa and Messi, Aguero and Macken, and no one wants to lose this game.
"Mark, look at this free-kick in the middle of the box, it's one of the few times when players from both sides can stop," Maria said with a little relief.
Mark Qin exhaled and glanced at the penalty area, for the second half so quickly to be pulled back again, he was a little angry, but there was nothing to do, because Messi has indeed reached his peak age.
24, if Mark Qin remembers correctly, the past two years have been Messi's absolute peak, directly beyond the limits imagined by many people, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
It's like the goal just now, it's really unstoppable.
Suppressing the reverie in his heart, he heard the referee's whistle, ran and swung his legs, and then drove a curling ball directly to the far end to find Godin who was inserted in the back.
"Mark, go far, this ball is deeper, Godin, Godin hit the ball, header ferry......", Maria shouted, only to see the ball being ferried by Godin from the area near the bottom line directly to the center of the penalty area, and Barcelona's penalty area was suddenly chaotic.
It's the fight between Costa and Pique again, neither of them put the ball right, causing more chaos in the penalty area, to talk about weakness, Barcelona's header is a weak link, but Aguero and Sanchez on both sides are not tall, and before they can go up to fight for the top, Valdés hit the ball out of the penalty area with a single fist.
"Iniesta, danger, Barcelona's counterattack", I saw Iniesta stop on his chest outside the penalty area, picked up a kick and went straight to the right side, so that Macqin, who pounced on the scramble, made a direct pounce.
"Messi, Messi, fighting Felipe for speed, Atletico Madrid is dangerous", Maria shouted frantically, if Barcelona scored two goals in a row, it is estimated that they will go completely crazy.
Messi doesn't look small, he doesn't suffer at all in the confrontation, he and Felipe carry each other on the right side of the pitch and gallop, chasing the little ball.
Looking at the live broadcast camera, the four figures rushed to the same place from different directions, the hearts of the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands were hanging in their throats, and Ancelotti's palms on the sidelines were also sweating.
De Gea and his sister-in-law chased the ball from different directions, and Mackin played a key role in letting his brother-in-law stay at this time, when Messi touched the ball first and was about to wipe past Felipe, his brother-in-law's sliding tackle came in time and shoveled the ball directly in the direction of De Gea.
De Gea ran to the edge of the penalty area and hugged the ball, this kind of unintentional return pass the referee will not blow, but it still scared his heart to pounce, if the ball is slow, Messi is a single knife.
"Whew......", the whole stadium seemed to exhale, Messi's threat was too great, and they still didn't have insurance if they scored 3.
"Pull people, he pulls people", Messi rarely became angry on the right side, shouting loudly at the linesman, who has always been silent, he dragged the jersey that was pulled out of his shorts, and kept complaining to the linesman.
"Shh......h
Originally, the ball didn't need to be blown to stop the game, because the linesman didn't raise the flag to foul, and it was impossible for the referee to make a random decision so far away, but seeing this situation, he still quickly ran to the place of the incident and suspended the game.
"Oh, it's rare to see such an angry Messi", Maria said unexpectedly, "It seems that he was forced to rush this game, Felipe and he did pull each other on the kick-off, see how the referee decides"
"Messi was really anxious, Barcelona was a little embarrassed in the first half", Morrison said, "mainly because Mark's performance today was too good, and it may have stimulated him"
The score on the big screen above the stadium was 3:2, still hanging brightly, and there were only two names on the scorer, the home team on the left was Mackin and the right was Messi.
It's turned into a war between two superstars.
Messi, who was still chattering, was rarely shown a yellow card by the referee, and finally Guardiola had to come forward in person to persuade Messi, and honest people started a fire, which is really scary.
"See, they are in a hurry, Messi is in a hurry, it will definitely affect Barcelona's entire mood", while the opponent was still in ink, Makqin said to a few teammates who were close to him, "Let's hold it down, play a little simpler, but we can't be in a hurry, as long as this period passes, I estimate that they will make mistakes"
"Just one ball", he looked up at the big screen, it was almost 20 minutes in the second half, "we will score one more, it is estimated that it will completely break their spirits"
"Well, pay attention to the defense on both sides, especially Messi and Iniesta", Gabi spat and said, he was tired enough today, and made up for the defense everywhere, "It's a foul when it's time to foul, I'm not afraid to get a card now, time is running out"
The referee finally took care of the situation on the sidelines, and then blew the whistle for De Gea to kick off and resume the game, and De Gea threw the ball directly to Mackin who came back quickly in the middle.
It's really rare to dare to throw the ball like this, and it's just that Mackqin, De Gea dared to throw like this, Mackin just stopped the ball on his chest, Xavi, Villa, and Messi's siege came over, Mack Qin didn't wait for the ball to land, and directly gave Felipe on the side with a kick.
That's why his teammates dared to give him the knife ball.
After a back and forth sprint just now, both teams involuntarily slowed down the pace a little, and when Felipe pushed forward, Barcelona did not rush frantically in the front, but maintained a suitable intensity, defending and retreating.
The physical fitness of both teams has reached a critical point at this time, they both want to score, and they are worried about losing the ball, and they suddenly come to a balance inexplicably, as if they are accumulating the power of the final blow.
"Mark, he started to control the ball near midfield", Maria commented, "Barcelona didn't press like they did at the beginning, I guess it was for the final stages of the game"
Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola began to quiet down in unison, not pointing fingers from the sidelines, and experienced managers have a natural instinct for the game.
At this time, don't move!
It's like two peerless masters who have been slashing each other for three days and three nights, before the last breath of true qi erupts, they have to take it back and accumulate it, and then, one move determines life and death.
The wave of outbursts just now failed to equalize, but now the mature Barcelona are not in a hurry, a goal difference is nothing in the moment when they finally broke out, and scoring two or three goals in a few minutes is not too accidental for them to happen.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, is waiting for a signal from Mackqin, a young man with countless tournament experience at the heart of the club, who knows when to do it.
Time passed slowly, and Barcelona began to slowly press again......
Mackin has not been in a hurry to move forward, and Atletico Madrid's possession was slowly pressed to the back by Barcelona's pressing, and returned to the feet of De Gea.
Makqin, who had already run in front of the back line, received a pass from De Gea again, and then without waiting for Villa to come up, he picked up his left foot and kicked it at the bottom of the ball, and the signal came!
This is the last few minutes, Mackin first kicked forward, Atletico Madrid's formation pressed out, and Macqin also ran frantically to the front.
After Alves went forward to press forward, Costa had just pulled to the wing, and before Pique could come over, he found that the ball flew directly towards him, not overhead, but just at the height of his thigh.
The ball was so comfortable, just right for him to resist Pique coming up behind him, and with a cushion of his thigh, he gently unloaded the ball at his feet.
"Costa, stop the ball on the wing, good ball, his fulcrum role is very important today", Maria shouted, "Atletico are going to attack, see if this wave of Barcelona can hold on"
"Costa, quickly knocked to Aguero who inserted it in", as soon as the ball was passed away, Pique's legs came up behind him, and directly tripped him over, but now Costa has no time to entangle with Pique anymore, and he gets up and runs directly into the penalty area.
Once it started, the ball passed quite quickly, and Aguero didn't stick to the ball, just flicked it to his right, and then rushed forward himself, Busquets hesitated for a moment, or to block the crazy Mackin who rushed up.
With a "bang", like a shot, Macqin picked up his left leg again, dispatched at a large angle, and kicked the ball directly to the right side.
"Good ball", Maria couldn't help but shout, only to see the ball go around a big arc and fly straight to the feet of Sanchez on the right.
Barcelona's defensive center of gravity on the left side collapsed in an instant, and Enrique was the only one on the right side who was retreating and watching Sanchez, who galloped towards the penalty area with the ball.
"Send the ...... forward", Enrique, who was fighting and retreating, only heard a shout, and was not sure where it came from, when he saw Sanchez push directly, and then a gust of wind ran behind Sanchez, and Pedro turned a corner and chased after him.
Enrique also reacted immediately, quickly abandoned Sanchez, and began to chase back frantically, but Juan Fran, who was already up at a speed, would not give them a chance to catch up at all.
"Juanfran ......", with a loud roar from Maria, he took a step directly to the corner between the bottom line and the sideline of the penalty area, and he directly took the ball, crossed, and was in front of the big penalty area!
It was that figure again, galloping in, and the two sides who were crowded in the penalty area to grab points reacted differently, and the Atletico Madrid players hurriedly dodged to the side, while the Barcelona players rushed out like crazy.
He picked up his left foot, stared at the goal, and then, at one end, the ball did not fly straight to the goal like a cannonball, but flickered from the head of two or three red and blue figures who were about to sacrifice their lives to gamble on the gun's eye, and flew over.
Another red and white figure did not slow down at all, galloping past, crossing all the Barcelona defenses, from the ribs, straight into the penalty area.
"Offside", the Barcelona players in the penalty area raised their hands almost at the same time, Aguero and Costa were indeed offside, especially after the Barcelona defense collectively pressed forward.
But that figure didn't, that was, Raul Garcia!
In the past, he was responsible for hemming and rib insertion, but after Sanchez arrived, the wing was more handed over to him, and today Raul Garcia's main focus is on defense.
But at this moment, his insertion is good, and he doesn't know if Mark Qin will pass it, but he is ready to go to the penalty area to compete for the second landing point at any time.
Luckily, everything was just right.
The ball went over the opponent's head, and as he ran through the paper, it obediently landed in front of him, just in time for his step, and then he comfortably picked up his right leg.
"Bang", electric light, the distance outside the corner of the small penalty area was too close, so close that Valdés only had time to move, and the ball blasted into the net like a cannonball, from the near post!
"Goaaaaal......, Raul Garcia, GoalGoal......, Mark's unexpected pick-up pass, he can always deceive everyone, today Barcelona has been scared by his long-range shot, and subconsciously ran out to block, but he didn't expect him to come to a pick-up pass"
"Goaaaaaal......, Atletico, they extended their lead to 2 goals again, amazing, Atletico completely crazy today......"
The moment the ball went into the net, Raul Garcia ran frantically outside the baseline, jumped over the billboard, and pounced on the fans.
The big picture has been decided......
