Chapter 38: The Death of the Knife (End)
The Camp Nou was bustling and boiling.
Qin Shou stood at the front of the forbidden area, his hands on his waist, and shook his head helplessly.
He has to admit that Barcelona is an incomparably strong team, at least at this stage, whether in terms of the configuration of players in various positions, or the overall strength, it is better than Atletico Madrid - a step better than Atletico Madrid, which has a full lineup, and I don't know how much stronger than the current semi-crippled lineup.
With Atletico Madrid's defensive ability, it is enough to make most teams in La Liga fearful, and gradually rise to despair, but Barcelona is different, they use a strong overall to constantly put pressure on Atletico Madrid's backline, and then supplemented by the super individual ability of the star, so that Atletico Madrid is even more overwhelmed.
These two goals were conceded under such pressure. Although Atletico Madrid's players are very capable of running and dare to fight, but many times, the gap in strength is not something that can be made up with a positive attitude.
However, pressure is pressure, and Qin Shou will not admit defeat. His character is very stubborn, the more difficult, the more exciting it is, what is the meaning of defeating an opponent who is not as strong as himself, the stronger the opponent, the higher his fighting spirit, and the fruits of victory after the courage to challenge are the most evocative and satisfying.
"Alright, folks, don't act listless, it's not the end of the world yet."
Qin Shou turned around and clapped his hands at his teammates, loudly boosting morale.
Faced with two goals conceded in a row, the veteran players showed some chagrin. But there wasn't much of a dazed look. After so many difficulties and setbacks last season, the mental quality of this group of players has been honed to come out of three teams and win the championship in one fell swoop. Falling behind may be a blow to their morale, but it is not enough to destroy their fighting spirit.
Qin Shou's words of encouragement are more for the new players. He saw the faces of these newcomers who had only joined the team this season with obvious frustration and loss, so he stepped forward and patted them on the shoulders one by one, signaling that they didn't care.
Although he is the captain of the team, Qin Shou is not very old. At least like Raul. A player like Garcia can be much older and have a much longer career than him. A young man goes to pat on the shoulder of a "senior on the field" who is obviously bigger than himself to console him. No matter how you look at such a scene, it makes people feel weird.
However, Atletico Madrid's players don't feel abrupt, for them, Qin Shou is their pillar, as long as Qin Shou does not fall. As long as Qin Shou still has fighting spirit. The will of this team will not be depressed!
"Okay, there's still a long time left in the game, so let's keep defending." Qin Shou said loudly to his teammates, his firm tone could make people feel the affirmation and confidence in his words, "Isn't it just a temporary lag?" Let's just score one more goal! Guys, work hard, follow me, and knock out your opponents hard! ”
Qin Shou suddenly raised his arm. Loudly burst into a foul language.
And the old players also laughed, and the depressed mood was swept away. Then he waved his arms and shouted, "! ”
The recruits were also full of energy again by Qin Shou's confidence and encouragement, and shouted: "! ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
There is a lot of movement on Atletico's side, and the Barcelona players have naturally noticed it.
They had finished their goal celebrations and returned to their respective positions, while Messi and Xavi stood near the centre circle, waiting for Atletico to come and kick off.
Xavi, who rarely boasts, looked at the other half of the pitch and suddenly said, "He's a good player and a good captain." ”
Looking at the Atletico Madrid players who were a little depressed because of the continuous loss of goals, they became energetic again in a blink of an eye, and even showed a confident look on their faces, Messi shook his head, then nodded again, and said: "Many people say that modern football is more about testing the overall combat level of a team, and the role of individuals has been infinitely weakened. However, people seem to forget that when a player can influence the team with his words and actions, the whole team will burst out with more energy because of him. A fighter who never gives up and always moves forward will lead his team to move forward firmly and bravely. ”
"It's like Liverpool with Steven Gerrard, AC Milan with Maldini?" Xavi smiled, then looked at Messi and said, "...... And Barcelona with Leo? ”
"Perhaps." Messi shrugged noncommittally, "Actually, since the first meeting last season, I think you should add them...... Atletico Madrid with Qin! They are really not the same as before, since Qin joined this team. ”
"That's more interesting." Xavi nodded, and he said teasingly, "To be honest, every season I watch you compete with that guy in Portugal, and I'm tired of watching it." Now there's a strong contender, which gives people even more sense of anticipation. I also want to see how powerful Leo can be when he turns pressure into motivation and is full of firepower. ”
Messi didn't answer, just turned his head to look at Qin Shou. Such a young player from far away China really makes him feel pressured, more motivated, and more wanted...... Defeat him!
When Messi looked at Qin Shou, there was another person who was also staring at him closely. Cesc Fabregas was standing not far from Xavi and Messi, and he naturally listened to the conversation between the two, which also made him feel more complicated.
He didn't expect the bigwigs of these two teams to have such a high evaluation of Qin Shou, even if Qin Shou is really powerful now, but not so powerful that he can be compared with Messi, right?
But the fact is that Messi has indeed regarded Qin Shou as an opponent who is equal to him and can fight with each other.
Think about two years ago, Qin Shou only came to Arsenal on loan, and he couldn't even guarantee a main position, but now, this "junior" has been able to make superstars like Messi and Xavi treated equally, such progress...... Fabregas suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, he still had a grudge against Qin Shou, but even if he didn't admit it, the truth was...... Qin Shou really seemed to have surpassed him.
"Even if you're improving fast, even if you're hot in European football right now, so what? I'll be able to beat you just as well, and I'll tell you that I'm still better than you! ”
Fabregas gritted his teeth unconvinced and clenched his fists, "I will beat you in this match, definitely!" ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the restart of the game, the momentum of Barcelona's attack has not weakened, the score of 2:1 is not safe, and the advantage is not too big, after all, the Super Cup is a two-legged format, only one goal ahead of the opponent, and the opponent has an away goal, go to Calderón, God knows if it will be reversed by Atletico Madrid.
They want to take advantage of the momentum of consecutive goals to continue to put pressure on Atletico and try to extend their lead, and it would be great if they could kill the suspense directly in the first leg.
Of all the Barca players, Messi and Cesc Fabregas were particularly active. The former is happy to see the hunt, and he wants to use a better performance to show the importance he attaches to Qin Shou; And the latter's purpose is simpler, he wants to defeat Qin Shou, defeat Barcelona led by Qin Shou, and tell Qin Shou, you used to be my substitute, and now, you are still inferior to me.
In the face of Barcelona's tidal attack and pervasive short pass penetration, Atletico Madrid still contracted the defensive line and defended with all their might. Qin Shou's running range has gradually increased, he is no longer limited to being Messi's "personal bodyguard", as Barcelona's attack puts more pressure on the Atletico Madrid defense, he must also act as a firefighter from time to time, constantly saving and supplementing defense.
It was also driven by Qin Shou that Atletico Madrid's players united and worked harder in defense, not giving Barcelona too many opportunities to take advantage of, and the situation of the game was deadlocked again.
Of course, in this stalemate, it is like a calm sea containing monstrous power, at least Qin Shou's current silence is waiting for the most suitable opportunity to explode in one fell swoop.
In the 81st minute of the game, Atletico Madrid, who had been struggling to defend, finally had another good chance to score. Taking advantage of one of the few counterattack opportunities, Qin Shou suddenly stepped forward with the ball, and after continuous cooperation with Costa, he entered the 30-meter area of Barcelona's half.
Seeing Qin Shou's crazy advancing momentum, in desperation, Busquets could only put Qin Shou down.
Atletico Madrid were awarded a free-kick in front of the court for the second time in the game.
Thinking of the scene in the first half where Qin Shou used a free kick to directly pierce the Barcelona goal, the Barcelona fans in the front court looked a little unsightly, and they couldn't help but worry in their hearts, and many fans even kept praying.
But it is clear that God may be omnipotent, but today he may be on vacation and cannot hear the cries and hearts of the Barça fans.
In the face of this hard-won opportunity, Qin Shou did not have a weak foot, and his curling ball drawn with his left foot once again made Valdés cry out in vain, and his precise flying knife made the Barcelona goal penetrate for the second time in this game.
2:2! The score is equalized!
As accurate as ever, as deadly as ever, two free kick opportunities in exchange for two goals, Qin Shou's free kick kung fu was silent at Camp Nou again.
Although they were in an opposing situation, Barcelona fans couldn't help but admire Qin Shou in addition to palpitations and chagrin.
