Chapter 442: Messi's Waiting Space
The fourth official had once again raised a sign on the side of the pitch stating the time of injury time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because Lin Yi was unwell and left the field just now, the stoppage time was as long as four minutes.
Lin Yi, who was stuck in the ice bucket with his feet in the field, frowned, and prayed silently in his heart: You must resist it.
Messi and Iniesta still rely on their cooperation to attract the attention of the Dortmund backfield.
In the midst of such entanglement, Lin Yi, who was a bystander, suddenly found that Neymar on the left side and Suarez who was cruising in front of the penalty area had been emptied.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Yi felt that he broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden.
What's even more terrifying is that not only Lin Yi noticed this, but Messi, who was in possession of the ball, also discovered the vacancy of his teammates.
Facing the pressing Hummels, Messi made a quick flick of the ball, dodged his outstretched leg, and did not rush to pass the ball directly, instead, he gave the ball to his right hand side and handed it to Iniesta.
The Spaniard, the moment the ball reached his feet, he lifted his right foot forward and tapped the ball lightly.
Deep-fried croquettes!
While Lin Yi on the sidelines was worried about the team, he didn't forget to shout hello in his heart.
This was originally one of the skills he also commonly used, but at the moment, when Iniesta used it, there was still a feeling in it that he didn't have.
Subotic, who was robbed, watched the football being knocked away from his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
Because he grabbed so hard and so hard that after Iniesta's acceleration against him, he completely lost his position.
Lin Yi secretly scolded the defenders on the field in his heart, in a final of this level, there would be this kind of situation where everyone's eyes were chasing the football. It's funny......
Iniesta, who had a little space in front of him, finally showed his killing intention at this time, he followed with his right foot again, and the football that knocked back with his left foot was directly a diagonal pass.
Football broke through the Dortmund backline, or the Dortmund backline itself was full of holes for people to play.
Neymar, who ran away, stretched his feet comfortably, and the football was stopped in front of him, and he rushed out without stopping.
In fact, there is a person on Dortmund's side who is watching out for the movement of Barcelona's front, but Ginter has to pay attention to the opponent's movements, and also drag it out at the end to make a supplement.
Because Neymar received the ball on the flank, Ginter had to stand in his position and call his team-mates over to defend.
Tuchel, who was sitting in the dugout, laughed in his heart at this time, mocking Neymar for still liking to play alone.
In that position just now, if he took the ball and crossed directly, the Barcelona players in the back row were likely to be able to top a header.
It's a pity, Brazilians are still like that, they know that relying on their own personal strength to solve problems will not work!
Thinking so, he turned to the players sitting next to him.
Between the words, he hadn't forgotten to glance at Lin Yi who was resting his legs there with his spare eyes.
In his opinion, Lin Yi sometimes has the same stupid behavior as Neymar now.
'You see the way he handles the ball, it's a big mistake because he can pass the ball but he doesn't, he chooses to trust his individual skills and takes the ball to a more difficult position to handle and that creates ......"
Tuchel was going to say he missed a good chance, but before he could finish speaking, Neymar on the pitch suddenly made a new move.
Neymar, who had almost brought the ball to the baseline, dragged his heel back, then caught the ball between his feet and leaped forward.
The ball flew past his back and landed in front of him, and it flew over Hummels's head.
But Hummels couldn't do anything about it, dodging Neymar, who was against his opponent, to catch the ball.
It was still at this small angle that he twisted his body and rubbed the inside of his right foot on the football.
The ball arced past Longlak, who had already made a sideways move, and fell towards the Borussia Dortmund goal.
"This caused a collective mistake on the part of our defenders, not only did they miss out on the wrong position, but it also gave the opponent the space to continue to play their individual skills, allowing the opponent to take the ball into the six-yard box and then complete the goal."
Neymar made this understatement and smashed the ball directly into the far corner.
There was silence on Dortmund's bench, and only Lin Yi spoke in a dry tone.
On the other hand, Enrique had already jumped up and turned to hug his teaching assistant.
Lin Yi, who sat on the sidelines, put a finishing touch on Tuchel's speech and explanation, but the tone of his speech was very bad.
Neymar, who scored the goal, just waved his hand at his teammates, made a gesture not to celebrate, and went to the goal to hold the ball.
3 to 2, the goal came and caught everyone off guard, except for Lin Yi, who had long seen that Dort's defense had a big problem.
Tuchel pursed his lips and stood up to call up a substitute again to get him ready to play.
Now that regular time is over, the four minutes of stoppage time have begun, and if they can delay the time by substitutions now, whether it is the situation on the field or the morale that cannot be seen or touched, Barcelona will definitely be hit.
Thinking of this, he went to the fourth official and said that he was going to make a substitution, but unfortunately this time he was slow to speak, and the players on the field had already kicked off.
With the ball at his feet, Reus was hesitating whether to rush forward with the ball himself or to press the tempo a little.
It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems with four minutes of stoppage time.
It's just that the current opponent ......
Thinking of this, Reus quickly turned around and faced Neymar, who came over to force him, pulled the ball and brought it forward.
Looking at his friend's choice, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Tuchel's retreat was foolish, the good thing was that Marco was still clear enough to push the ball forward.
Tuchel jumped out of his seat when he saw Reuss with the ball.
"Possession of the ball! Possession of the ball! What do you do with the ball forward? Take control! ”
Lin pouted, controlled the ball in the midfield, or faced a team like Barcelona that is good at pressing high? Just kidding, right?
Tuchel clearly didn't realise he was joking, or rather he was taking it very seriously.
And the players on the field also hesitated a little after hearing his shout.
Originally, some people had the idea of rushing forward with Royce, but when he roared, everyone slowed down.
The most obvious reaction was his direct player, Gonzalo Castro.
As a central midfielder, in fact, he didn't send a few forward passes throughout the second half, and more often chose to return the pass.
Reus was less than 10 metres forward, and Busquets and the spirited Andres Iniesta were all blocked at once.
The two crossed the road in front of Royce left and right, and Royce wanted to change direction and accelerate, but as soon as he pulled the ball, he realized that his current physical strength was no longer enough to complete such an action, or that it would be dangerous to do such a move.
In desperation, he could only turn around, protect the football with his body, and then look for a teammate behind him who could pick him up.
But this turn, he was desperate, and "MSN", who had just passed by him, was staring at him fiercely at the moment.
As for his closest teammate, it was Castro who was separated from these three.
Royce cursed, stepped on the ball, gritted his teeth and tried to turn around again and accelerate to force his way through the defense.
Unfortunately, Busquets' legs were longer than he thought, and when his back was stuck, the Barcelona midfielder still stretched out his foot to poke the ball away from him a little.
Iniesta had already bypassed, and Reus, who was forced to be helpless, could only choose to pass back.
In order to prevent the opponent from intercepting the beard, Reus had to pick up the ball and try to give it to Castro or someone after him with a high ball.
Originally, I wanted to continue to push forward the rhythm, but because my teammates didn't follow up in time, it was cut off at once.
Castro, who received the ball, was honestly ready to carry out the coach's request, turned and continued to pass back.
The game lasted 90 minutes, and although his performance was not good, Castro's running distance was indeed not short, and he was also very tired at this time. Coupled with seeing the opponent's position, this turn is a little slower.
Suarez, who was still staring at Royce, turned around the moment Reuss passed, and he was the closest Barcelona player to Castro at this time.
He knew very well in his heart that if Castro was really allowed to pass the ball back like this, then this game, as well as Barcelona's six-crown win again, might really be ended.
He took a deep breath as he didn't have many chances on the offensive end, and when Castro turned, he slammed forward.
Castro's feet are also a little soft, so as long as I rush fast enough this time, I definitely have a chance.
"Spread it! Come on! 'Tuchel was nervous again, this is at the back, if the ball is cut off in that position and situation, it is definitely a situation where you have to lose your skin.
Then he saw Suarez, who was fully charged, come first, and the moment he rushed from behind, he stretched out his foot and kicked the ball out of Castro's picked up leg.
This time he kicked the top end of the ball, which meant that the ball rolled forward, but it was not out of his control.
With Suarez's successful break, Messi and Neymar, as well as Alba and Alves on both sides, rushed up.
Gonzalo Castro, who was cut off the ball, fell to the ground because of this accident that came too suddenly.
After all, a kick in the air still has a great impact on the center of gravity, plus the consumption of physical energy is too large.
Suarez didn't stick to the ball after breaking the ball, and with a knock on his heel, the ball was at the feet of Neymar, who had just put on a spectacular performance in the box.
Lin Yi couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Tuchel to see if he would have anything else to say about Neymar's performance.
Maybe he was scared of being slapped in the face, or worried about the team's somewhat precarious advantage, but this time Tuchel didn't say anything.
Lin shook his head in disappointment, turned his eyes to the field again, and told the advancing Neymar with the ball.
As much as Lin would love to see Tuchel slap in the face, he would prefer to see himself and his team win.
Watching Neymar and the Barcelona players around him move forward, he was more nervous than anyone else.
After all, the advantages and situations on the field are not very excessive and exaggerated to say that he played them by himself.
Neymar's footsteps were fast, and the ball was rolling rapidly in front of his feet, between his feet, making it difficult to figure out the movement.
Hummels came up to defend hard, Brazil was beaten 7-1 by them in the World Cup a year ago, but Hummels always had an assessment in his heart that if the skinny man with the ball in front of him was present in that game, it would definitely not be like that.
As a defender, Neymar's dribbling in this way is even more difficult to deal with than Lin Yi and Messi's.
Hummels squinted, and suddenly there was a swift snatch...... Then he was gone, and it wasn't Neymar who passed him, it was football.
Neymar, who was already exhausted by the big defender who was rushing up, didn't really think about making a pass, he just kicked the ball between Hummels's legs.
After this one pierced the crotch, he did not dodge Hummels, but Messi behind him accelerated and caught up with the football.
At the edge of the penalty area, Hummels was mixed up with Neymar, while Messi was behind him and received a pass from his team-mate.
In front of Messi, there is only one Ginter who is ready to fill in at any time and is on the field to act as a scavenger in the final.
And, of course, Longerak and the goal.
Ginter was sober and didn't think he could compete with the Argentine in terms of agility and speed.
So he's very clear to his advantage, he's not in a hurry to break the ball as a defender, as long as I don't let you threaten the goal behind me, isn't that enough?
Thinking of this, Ginter put his hands behind his back, lowered his center of gravity, and sank backwards. Confront Messi.
Neymar and Suarez have been blocked, and now only Messi himself is left, even if he wants to pass the ball, there is no point to answer.
Steady. Ginter cheered himself up like this in his heart, while cautiously watching Messi's move as he slowed down.
Messi was not in a hurry, even though the clock was already in the ninety-third minute of the game, and the whistle could have sounded at any moment.
Messi observes the opponent's defenders, the goal and the goalkeeper. He's confident, he knows he just needs a chance.
With this position, this distance, I just need a chance to kick and maybe hit the ball into the net.
You can't rush, but you can't just wait forever.
Messi, well aware of these conditions, began to shake his body in an attempt to disturb the immobile Ginter.
Ginter only felt dry in his mouth because the pressure brought by Messi was just too much. It's too big......
Longerak is constantly moving his body and perspective, and he is even more nervous than Ginter, because he knows that Messi, who is being blocked by Ginter at the moment, is likely to pass his defender at any moment, and at that time, it will be himself who will face the Argentine directly, if that is the case, can I hold it?
Messi was still shaking, and Subotic and Hummels finally got rid of the entanglement of the Barcelona players at this time, and both rushed back, and the two tried to clamp Messi from three directions with Ginter, or push the ball out with people.
Ginter echoed his two teammates and finally stepped forward.
And Messi has been waiting for this opportunity.
A very tiny void.
