Chapter 252: Defending Messi

After a half-time break, in the second half, players on both sides came out of the tunnel again and returned to the field.

Barcelona's players are full of confidence in their eyes, and Dortmund's players are also full of fighting spirit.

After the start of the game, just when most people thought that the plot would be the same as in the second half of the first half, Barcelona suppressed Dortmund, only to find that Dortmund actually took the initiative to seek attack, as if they did not know how strong their opponents were.

Three minutes later, Dortmund seemed to be paying the price for this behavior: after Barcelona passed a few times in the midfield, Busquets suddenly made a hidden through ball, the ball came to the feet of Messi, Schmelzer was next to Messi, so he rushed to grab the ball as soon as possible, but he couldn't break the ball and forced Messi to pass.

However, when Messi saw Schmelzer running from his right, his feet moved lightly, and the ball was like a part of his body, dodging Schmelzer's defense, and then jumping to the side, and he himself deftly avoided Schmelzer's interference and chased the ball, as long as he got the ball again, whether it was shooting or passing, it would pose a great threat to Dortmund's goal.

But at this moment, he suddenly found a yellow figure rushing over quickly out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly moved his feet, trying to pull the ball back, but he was a step too late, and the ball was stabbed by the yellow figure first, and flew out of the bottom line quickly.

Messi looked at the yellow figure, it was Shen Peng, his expression was a little puzzled, obviously he didn't know why Shen Peng appeared in this position.

The reason why Shen Peng destroyed the ball was because the ball was still rolling at that time, and if he wanted to control the ball, he had to stop the ball with his feet first, and he was running rapidly.

Of course, he can also try to dribble the ball, but in that case, he will bring the ball to his own goal, and if he is not careful, it will become an own goal, so it is safer to kick the ball directly out of the bottom line, after all, Barcelona's corner kick threat is much smaller.

After Shen Peng destroyed the ball, Klopp on the sidelines also waved his hand to vent his emotions.

He guessed correctly, Shen Peng relied on his excellent observation ability to make up for Messi when other defenders defended Messi, and achieved unexpected results.

In this way, as long as one or two defenders are staring at Messi, it can greatly reduce the burden on the defensive line, and Shen Peng can also be plugged in at any time when attacking, which is equivalent to using one or two people to prevent Messi!

Compared to other teams, where two or three, or even three or four people are used to keep an eye on Messi, their defence can spare more energy to defend Suarez and Neymar.

Barcelona sent another tactical corner, and after a series of back-to-back kicks, Suarez fired a powerful volley from outside the box that went wide of the post.

……

In the 51st minute of the game, Neymar on the left side instigated an attack, but after shaking Durm, he was stopped by Subotic, so Neymar had to transfer the ball and pass it back to Iniesta, and after Iniesta got the ball, he found an opportunity and kicked it straight, and the ball rolled to Messi's feet in the crowd.

Messi broke through in front of Kyle, who was defending him alone, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a yellow figure swimming behind him.

It's Shen Peng again!

Messi, who has suffered a loss, has no doubt that if he breaks through Kyle, as long as the ball is out of control for a moment, it will be snatched by Shen Peng.

So he hesitated a little and passed the ball out, and Shen Peng quickly disappeared from him.

……

A minute later, the ball fell to his feet again, and as before, as soon as he took the ball, he felt Shen Peng around.

It was a bad feeling, but he was on the safe side and got the ball out again.

……

In this way, under Shen Peng's defense, until the sixty-first minute of the game, Messi did not have a successful breakthrough! Every time he gets the ball, he looks for an opportunity to pass it to his teammates!

Enrique was not calm at this time, he stood up from his chair, as a coach, he could see clearly that after Shen Peng retreated, the number of defenders defending Messi on Dortmund's side was reduced to two, that is, Kyle and Schmelzer, and even most of the time, only one of them was defending Messi.

In football, there are eleven men on both sides, so if the opponent defends the ace on their side with only one defender, then they must have lost money.

That's what Enrique thinks at this time, and if it goes on like this, Messi will hardly be able to play.

Although on Dortmund's side, Shen Peng's retreat made their attack on the left almost dumb - in the nearly 20 minutes of the second half, Dortmund only had one successful attack on the left, but that attack was also defused by Ter Stegen in the end.

But overall, Barcelona's side is still losing.

So he found a nearby player and instructed next to him: "You will go to the field later, let Messi make a bold breakthrough!" ”

A player like Messi, as long as he succeeds in breaking through once and brings a goal, even if he makes ten mistakes in the process of breaking through, he can accept it - this is Enrique's idea at this time.

……

Although the two sides were already tied at 3-2 in the first half, 20 minutes into the second half, neither side scored, and the number of shots on goal on both sides was much lower than in the first half.

At this time, after receiving the ball from his teammates, Busquets passed the ball to Messi, Messi took two steps forward with the ball, found that Kyle was defending him, remembered Enrique's instructions, so he moved his feet, did not pass the ball as before, but made a feint in front of Kyle, and then flicked the ball out, and the whole person was about to break through.

But at this moment, Shen Peng rushed over and ran towards the ball almost at the same time as Messi!

Moreover, both of them also stretched out their feet and kicked the ball almost at the same time!

"Bang!"

Due to the strength of the two of them, the ball made a low sound, and then as if it couldn't stand the impact, it bounced off!

The ball rolls off the touchline.

The assistant referee looked at the ball and didn't know which side of the throw-in it should be awarded for the first time, but after a little hesitation, he still raised the flag and awarded Barcelona's throw-in.

Dortmund's players and fans were a little unhappy about this, but the referee had already awarded the penalty, and the Barcelona players were already holding the ball and ready to serve, so they had to accept this fact.

The game continued, but Messi looked at Shen Peng, because after the kick just now, his ankle was faintly numb at this time, and Shen Peng was like no one!
