Chapter 128: Breaking the Siege

However, although Barcelona slowed down the tempo, Atletico Madrid still did not dare to be careless. After all, the fast and surging attacking Barcelona is terrible, but the slowing down Barcelona is also not to be underestimated, and even more threatening than when it is fast-paced - Xavi, Iniesta and others are masters of controlling the rhythm, and they seem to be slow and leisurely inverted balls, but if you really don't care, or a negligence, maybe the opponent's unexpected pass will tear your defense into a big hole, so as to break the surface with a point, and completely destroy the entire defense.

On top of that, although the pressure on Atletico Madrid is much lighter, they don't have a good way to attack. First, in the face of Barcelona's skillful passing and possession play, although they have been grabbing, they can only contain, but cannot easily grab the ball.

Second, it is their own problem, most of the players on the Atletico Madrid field have played the national team game before, and after the end, they will come back to participate in the club game without stopping, which will inevitably be a little physically and mentally exhausted. So even if they are a group of crazy people, they have to keep some strength in this game and don't dare to fight too hard, but before the game is over, their own physical strength will collapse. And if the physical strength collapses, then the game will not be able to be played - Atletico Madrid's overall strength and tactical coordination are achieved by fighting and relying on physical fitness, why they are better than other teams, why they can carry it hard with Real Madrid and Barcelona, it depends on this non-stop active running.

If they can't run, they will lose their biggest weapon against the enemy, and the result is self-evident.

Barcelona wanted to attack, but the after-effects of the FIFA virus made them weak. In addition to the strength of defense, Atletico Madrid does not have a good chance to counterattack, first, they can't hold the ball, and secondly, Barcelona has suffered a lot from them, and they have learned smartly, paying attention to protecting the defense of the backfield, and the central axis is always guarded by people.

The race soon went into a plateau.

It can even be said that the scene is a little weird, both teams are playing a little sickly, Barcelona always controls the ball, constantly passing, constantly transferring, but always on the last pass and the last kick, a little lacking. And Atletico Madrid was also happy to follow the opponent in a hurry, and defended when they saw the moves.

Half an hour passed, the score was still 0:0, and there was no change in the scene, the two sides played politely, you passed, I defended, there was no fireworks at all, which made the fans on both sides in the stands a little drowsy.

"Barcelona today, except for the first ten minutes or so, when they were very active, the rest of the time, they didn't create too good attacking opportunities. I feel like they're playing weirdly, and they used to pass quickly and quickly, but today they look sick. ”

"This is the impact of the FIFA virus, the intensive matches on the two fronts of the league and the Champions League have made the players very tired, plus they have to go back to their respective national teams to play, so running back and forth, as long as it is a normal person, it can't stand it - ahem, Atletico Madrid players are not normal people, Rao is based on their physical fitness, and the performance of this game is extremely flat, which is very telling the problem."

"Both teams are weak. Barcelona already had a terrifying 76 per cent possession, while Atletico had only 24 per cent. But the score, however, has not changed at all. ”

"Possession and dominance on the pitch don't mean anything. The confrontation between the two teams has always been Barcelona's main attack Atletico Madrid's counterattack, but today, such a scene is rare to see, and it seems that the players of both teams are really tired. ”

"I'm afraid there will be no bright spots in this game, and it may even end with a score of 0:0 in Liao."

The commentators are also bored on the commentary bench, and even have nothing to do, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played so politely, and the process of the game was not turbulent, the two teams were like playing a practice match, without the slightest bright spot, this kind of calm and boring game made them all a little drowsy, and the commentary tasted like chewing wax.

The clock continued to pass and the game remained uneventful until the forty-second minute.

The clock hand was just towards the forty-third minute of the first half, and Barcelona, which had always been slow, suddenly made a force and accelerated the passing speed.

Andres Iniesta won the ball on the left flank and Garcia stepped forward to press it. But he didn't expect that Iniesta, who had been passing the ball before, made a false shot this time, pretending to pass the ball to Xavi who ran from the right, but he slammed it with the inside of his foot, and suddenly accelerated and wiped it past Garcia's side.

Garcia couldn't react, and when he was shocked, he wanted to stick it, but he had already fallen most of Iniesta's position, and he couldn't stop the other party's next move.

"Nice break!"

"Iniesta!"

"Barcelona suddenly pick up the tempo, their attack is coming!"

The commentators finally came to their senses and shouted a few times. And the home fans who had been silent in the stands for a long time also had their eyes lit up and applauded loudly.

Iniesta, who completed the breakthrough, did not continue to move forward with the ball, but pushed the football to Messi who pulled out of the penalty area to respond, and the Argentine king understood Iniesta's intentions, and pushed the left foot arch to push the football to the front of Iniesta, which was a very simple wall-hitting coordination.

These two passes are really fast, and Barcelona, which has been slow and slow in the first half, is like a lubricated chain at this moment, and the "boom~" quickly turned.

Andres Iniesta got around Juanfran and regained the ball, before getting up and loisting it into the box.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Godin hurriedly dropped Sanchez and rushed over to block it.

Iniesta did pass the ball, but it wasn't for Alexis Sanchez and Tello in the box, and the ball was picked up by him and flew high into the sky, but it landed on ...... Arc top of the exclusion zone.

And Messi happened to appear there, and after completing the two-to-one cooperation, Messi ran back into the penalty area, as for why he ran back unconsciously, few people really noticed.

Barcelona's cooperation this time was a bit cumbersome, but it was also a helpless move. Atletico Madrid's defense can be called kraft candy, extremely clingy, Messi pulled out for Iniesta, and someone followed, making him uncomfortable with the ball. There was no way, Messi could only run in a roundabout way, making a desire to escape, first pretending to respond, and then sneaking back quietly.

Such a routine is believed to often appear in Barcelona's daily training, Atletico Madrid's defenders did not expect it, but Messi did not have the slightest surprise at the flying football, the football began to fall, and Messi who was running also stopped, standing with his right foot and raising his left foot.

"Nice fit!"

"Unexpected passing!"

"Barcelona has picked up the speed up, and the threat has immediately increased by a few notches! Now it's time to watch Messi's performance...... Messi, shoot – oh no! ”

Some commentators have already shouted for a shot, and are even looking forward to the birth of a wonderful goal, but in the next moment, a red and white figure appeared quickly, and when the football was about to fall above Messi's left foot, the figure flew up in the air, and in a blink of an eye, the football was trampled out by the opponent's outstretched foot. Messi's shot arrived just then, and his left foot kicked the foot of the figure, and both of them let out a muffled grunt at the same time.

The players of the two teams were stunned for a moment at the same time, but Godin's reaction was fast, and he took two steps forward to kick the football out of the sideline, and after clearing the siege, he turned around and found that it was Qin Shou who was back to the front of the penalty area who blocked Messi's shot.

"Messi's shot was destroyed, and it was Qin who cleared the siege, and he retreated all the way from midfield to the edge of his own penalty area, successfully helping the team resolve a crisis!"

"This is one of the few opportunities for Chinese Qin to show up so far, not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end."

"In this game, Qin's performance was very average, almost like disappearing, but this time, he can be regarded as a meritorious contribution to the team."

Although this attack ended in nothing, and there was no goal, this attack and defense are also very interesting, the most important thing is that Qin Shou desperately rescued and cleared the siege, which is also worth talking about by the commentators.

Qin Shou and Messi didn't get up, so the referee had to pause the game and came over to ask about the injuries of the two players.

"Are you alright?"

Godin ran over to help Qin Shou up and asked with concern.

Qin Shou took two breaths of cold air "Zizi~", grinning in pain. Messi's kick just kicked him in the calf, the problem is not very big, but it is a hard injury, it must be very painful.

"It's okay, it's just that this guy's shooting force is really big, and it probably hurts a little bit to make all the strength of the milk."

Qin Shou replied as he looked down at his right leg, which was already covered with bruises on his calf leg bone.

Godin is also a very experienced veteran player, and he was also secretly relieved to see the bruises on Qin Shou's calves. On the court, I am not afraid of some hard injuries, but I am afraid of some injuries that cannot be seen, which are often the most fatal, and maybe one injury will have to recuperate for several months. Although Qin Shou's bruise looks seeping, in fact, there is nothing wrong with the pain for a while.

"I'm going to volley directly and vigorously, can the power not be great?"

Messi also got up, he pointed to the ball of his left foot, "Do you think I have a lot of strength?" Damn, your feet are made of alloy, I kicked you, why do I feel my toes are swollen? Pain! ”

"Haha!"

Qin Shou laughed, quite smug.

"It's okay." Messi shook his head, reached out and patted Qin Shou in a friendly manner, then turned around and left, "It's really time to clear the siege, and you ruined my chance to score again." ”

"If you don't clear the siege, will you score and be led by you? You're stupid! ”

Qin Shou replied, jumped on the spot twice, signaled to his teammates and the referee that he was fine, and then continued to devote himself to the game.
