Chapter 966: David Silva
After entering the dressing room, the Barcelona players all lowered their heads and calmed the grievances in their hearts, they all knew that they were the best teams in the world, but ...... But they couldn't trample Valencia under their feet, which made them very unhappy!
This season's league home and away by Valencia, the Copa del Rey final was scored twice in a row with one goal first, overtaking the score, which made them carry a huge psychological burden, and even caused some illusions - Valencia with Ailo is an invincible existence!
Just when the Barcelona players were still in their own contemplation, manager Pep Guardiola glanced up at the players, then clapped his palms, brought their thoughts back to reality, and said: "Do you want to throw in the towel like this?" ”
Speaking of this, Guardiola paused, looked up at the eleven starters in front of him, and watched their expressions change.
"Do you want to throw in the towel?"
All the players were subconsciously stunned, and their minds were full of Guardiola's words.
The locker room then became quiet, and even the gasps could be heard.
"No, we haven't lost yet!" Suddenly, Messi became the focus of attention of other Barcelona players, and even Pep Guardiola and assistant coach Vilanova were very surprised.
In their impression, Messi has always used practical actions to boost morale, and rarely uses words to motivate his teammates.
So Pep Guardiolaton had a little more time, and after about three seconds, he coughed lightly and said to everyone: "Yes, yes...... Leao is very right, we haven't lost the game yet, the score is only 1:2 now, a goal difference is nothing in a football game! We had 45 minutes left in the second half and plenty of time to change the scoreline. ”
"I know what you're worried about, you're worried that the result will be the same as the two-legged national derby at the end of the season, losing to Valencia! That's right, it's true, it can't be denied, the league defeat caused us to lose the initiative in the league title, but then again, two consecutive defeats do not mean permanent defeat, this is our best chance to wash away the shame of the past, warriors, don't let the 20,000 Barcelona fans who came to the Mestalla down! ”
“…… You have to know that we can't help ourselves a lot of the time, we need to prove our worth to win the game, but we also need to take into account the feelings of the fans, we are the kings of Spain in the past, I hope it is today, it will be in the future, and it will always be in the future! And to achieve such a dream, we need everyone to work together to kill Valencia!! ”
As Guardiola's tone became more and more excited, the momentum of the players was also adjusted, and they gradually forgot about the unhappiness of the first half and began to look forward to the future of the second half......
Meanwhile, there was a very congenial atmosphere in the Valencia dressing room, with goalscorers Arlo and David Silva being the ones to cheer upon.
Of course, Cesar Azpilicueta, who assists the team, is also an inspiration for the team, he is only 21 years old this year, and as long as the current performance continues, then there will definitely be a place for him as the main right-back of the Spanish national team in the future!
Ancelotti did not work on the mentality of the players, Valencia in the first half from falling behind to reversing, the psychological advantage is very obvious, too much encouragement is not good.
After all, everyone is a professional footballer, and they are very good at adjusting themselves to the game, and with Eloh in charge, Ancelotti can't find any reason to be more demanding on this team.
He only made a slight change to the team's tactics, taking advantage of the second-half kick-off to sneak up on Barcelona.
If they can extend the score to two goals from the start, I believe that Barcelona's confidence will be dealt a heavy blow, and the balance of victory in this game will be more in favor of Valencia!
※※※
Valencia took advantage of the second-half kick-off and quickly put in more than six attacking firepower, plus two wings to assist the attack, and the Barcelona backline immediately felt the attack.
Suddenly, a huge exclamation erupted in the stands.
There were Valencia fans and Barcelona fans, and they really didn't expect that the second half would be so threatening at the beginning.
At this moment, many fans have not yet returned to their seats, they are attracted by the burst of exclamations, and quickly turn their heads to look at the stadium.
I saw Iello and Mata break into the 35-meter area of Barcelona after a one-two-one collision into the wall, and Keita's falling tackle was alertly dodged by Iello.
Sergio Busquets had no choice but to fill Keita's place.
However, at this moment, Iro's upper body made a false movement to break forward, and then the outside of his right foot slammed the ball to the right, Busquets couldn't stop the car, and was broken through by Iro.
In accordance with the principle of proximity, Mascherano stepped forward to make up for it.
Iroh glanced up at the goal, stepped forward with his left foot without hesitation, and suddenly picked up his right foot about thirty-three meters from the goal.
Mascherano looked at Iro's posture and didn't know what he was going to do.
Obviously, I want to try my footwork!
Out of his understanding of Iro, Mascherano kicked hard with his right foot behind him, trying to block Iro's long-range shot with his back.
He only had time to hear a muffled sound, and he subconsciously tilted his head, and the wind whistled in his ears.
"-Ai!!"
Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor, who was about to give a commentary on the second half, shouted as he turned his voice.
The Valencia fans, who had not yet had time to return to their seats, stood still, some of them holding up their cokes, fries or fan scarves in their hands, and chanted at Iroh's sudden attack.
Barcelona fans held their heads out of instinct with wooden expressions.
The ball whistled past Mascherano's ear, and goalkeeper Valdés first took a slight step back to the side, then kicked hard, jumped up to the right back, and stretched out his right arm, trying to rub his fingertips against the ball.
But the quality of Ailo's long-range shot was very high, and the ball flew past Valdés's fingertips and continued towards the goal.
"Danger—"
Before the local Barcelona commentator could scream, he heard a loud 'clang'.
This is...... Soccer hits the post!
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, but before he could shout, he saw a Valencia player following the direction of the football at high speed, and there was not a Barcelona player next to him.
More critically, Valdés is still on the ground......
"- David Silva!!"
With a shout from Horvey, David Silva kicked hard with his feet on the line of the penalty area, swooped forward with his upper body, and pressed his forehead towards the flying football......
