Chapter 934: Ailo Always Has a Way
With Andres Iniesta stealthily passing the football to Messi, the atmosphere at the Mestalla Stadium entered the first round of high tide.
The home fans in the stands erupted in huge boos, hoping to distract Messi from the ball as they were about to get the ball, otherwise the team they were backing would be the first to concede at home.
However, the boos that erupted from the stands did not have much effect on a star of Messi's level, and Messi, who was highly focused at this time, only had football in his eyes.
His mind is clear, and the goal is to get the ball into the net to help Barcelona open the scoring on the road and then lead the team to victory there, closing the gap between them and increasing their chances of defending the league title.
Due to the fact that Iniesta's pass was very hidden earlier, Albiol, who focused on Messi, did not notice Iniesta's pass immediately.
Therefore, it was too late for him to make defensive moves when he realized that Messi was going to get the ball.
Messi took advantage of his low center of gravity and strong explosive power to stop the ball horizontally + turn forward and shake the moving Albiol directly to the ground.
Whoaoo
The boos erupted from the fans at the scene were instantly replaced by exclamations.
"Messi, Messi!!" The Barcelona commentator of the live commentary West raised his arms and shouted: "This is definitely the best opportunity since the start of the game!" β
The exclamations that erupted from the stands immediately caught the attention of Iroh at the far end of the pitch, and he had a faint sense of imminent threat.
After Messi shook Albiol down, left-back Jordi Alba rushed in to make up for it, looking for an opportunity to tackle the ball and relieve the pressure on the team's defence.
But the problem is that Messi's dribbling frequency is so tight that he can't find a tackle point at all.
If he blindly chooses to fall to the ground and put the tackle, then he will be greeted by a bad foul, and it is more likely that he will be completely shaken by the agile Messi.
Then Messi will face goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei directly as if he was in a no-man's land, and the possibility of the team conceding the goal will increase infinitely.
So Jordi Alba can only choose to defend in a fight-and-retreat manner.
However, he could not have any teammates to help him in the short term.
Albiol went to the ground and needed time to get back to the ball, while another full-back, Cesar Azpilicueta, had to defend Pedro who was running without the ball and couldn't spare his shots.
In other words, the only defender of Messi is Jordi Alba.
Many of the home fans in the stands began to pray to God that Messi would make a mistake or Jordi Alba would complete his defensive task and clear the ball.
In fact, these ideas simply do not help Valencia defend.
And Messi also knows the importance of a quick decision, facing Jordi Alba who is fighting and retreating, he made the illusion of breaking through to the left about 25 meters away from the goal, deceived Jordi Alba to shift his center of gravity to the right, and then slammed the ball forward with the arch of his left foot, breaking through in a straight line!
Jordi Alba's desire to turn his weight back at the first time was no longer realistic, so he had to kick the toe of his right foot and stretch the toe of his left foot as far forward as possible to shovel Messi's smash out.
However, Messi's explosiveness is very strong, and the outside of his right foot adds a force to the ball that is dunked by his left foot, and the supporting foot that falls to the ground is used at the same time, and the whole person jumps over Jordi Alba, who fell to the ground and slid the tackle.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolei knew that he couldn't continue to sit still, otherwise he would face conceding the ball.
It's not a good thing to concede a goal at the Mestalla Stadium......
β»β»β»
"Messi, Messi!" The voice of the local narrator in Barcelona was an octave higher: "It's over!" Single Knife! Fuck the damn Valencians!! β
With this shout, Messi broke through Jordi Alba and single-handedly faced Wang Xiaolei who abandoned the goal.
In the blink of an eye, Messi crossed the line of the big penalty area.
The earth-shattering collision between the striker and the goalkeeper will take place in just two seconds in the next two seconds.
Two seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and Messi faced Wang Xiaolei who was attacking, and first shifted his center of gravity to the right to make the illusion of pushing a far corner with the arch of his left foot, which deceived Wang Xiaolei into pressing down and pounced on the left.
Then, using the flexibility of your ankles, rub the toes of your left foot to the point of a football.
The strength was not great, but it just crossed the fingertips of Wang Xiaolei, who fell to the ground and stretched out his right arm, and fell towards the empty door that was unguarded.
The boos disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only the Barcelona fans who came with the team cheering.
Messi, who scored the goal, turned around on the spot and ran to the left corner flag area after completing the shot, bent his knees down, and played a sliding kneeling celebration.
Immediately afterwards, Messi stood up from the ground, raised his arms and shouted, venting his huge pressure.
The opening goal of the game was a justification for him.
Because he didn't play his ability in the past games between Barcelona and Valencia, and Ailo broke out every game, so the victory of the game belonged to Valencia.
As soon as Messi yelled, he was knocked to the ground by Pedro, Iniesta and other teammates who followed closely.
Iniesta is particularly excited, as Messi's best friend in the team, he naturally knows the pressure Messi is under and is now helping the team break the deadlock and open the scoring, and the level of excitement is not pressed by Messi who scores.
The local commentator in Barcelona was still excited: "Did you see the Valencians? Our best Messi is here! Want to win the score and expand the score? Dream on! Haha......"
At the same time, commentator Hyde sighed: "It's really not the right time to concede goals in this time period, it was very demoralizing to be counterattacked by Barcelona when we were at the most ferocious attack, and the game was the first to concede the goal in less than ten minutes......"
Barry, the guest, shook his head and said, "Yes, it's very bad for us in the next game. β
However, he changed his voice and said: "But there are exceptions to everything, our Ai is a special exception, as long as he plays at his normal level, it is not a strange result to help the team equalize in a short time." β
β»β»β»
The celebrations in Barcelona didn't last long, and they quickly recovered from the excitement.
They are one of the best teams on the planet, and there aren't many teams that deserve to get too excited about their goals, but they seem very normal.
The game restarted and Valencia clearly stepped up their attack, but they were more focused on pass success when it came to passing.
Although mistakes can be avoided in this way, it can also indirectly cause the pass to lose its suddenness and the danger index to plummet.
However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes, as the ball could cause panic in Barcelona's defence once it reached the feet of Elo.
With the increase in the number of times Airo has the ball, Barcelona's midfielders have no time to take into account the quick counterattack from defense to attack, and Valencia is also using high pressing, Xavi and Iniesta are difficult to get the good opportunity of the previous quick counterattack.
Valencia's offensive was very fierce, and the game was also 20 minutes, and the commentator He Wei said worriedly: "Valencia's offensive is very fierce, but the defensive end is very hidden, and the football is so rough ......"
Before the words could be spoken, Cesar Azpilicueta's cross from the edge was headed out by Pique and Xavi pressed Cazorla to push the ball back against his own goal, but the ball was picked up by Javi Martinez and Valencia went on the offensive again.
Xavi Martinez didn't have a sticky ball at his feet and smashed the ball straight past Xavi to left wing-back Jordi Alba.
Jordi Alba didn't blindly send in a direct cross, but to the playmaker Juan Mata, who went on to organise the attack.
As a world-class team, the tactical style of play should be diverse.
It's hard to score goals if the tactics are too one-dimensional, especially for strong teams.
Juan Mata picked up the ball and looked left and right and saw that there was no good chance before passing the ball to Cazorla.
There were no good chances, Cazorla chose to stabilize the tempo, and Valencia's overall attacking line moved back.
As the formation moved back, Iroh also left the penalty area and ran to meet his teammates.
Barcelona's defensive pressure has not decreased because Iello has left the penalty area, but it has given them more and more pressure, because when Iello leaves the penalty area, he has a lot of space to move and is more threatening!
Soon, the ball was reaching Iroh.
Keita was nervous with right-back Alveston, as was Xavi in a defensive position, and right-centre-back Pique was equally distracted by Elo.
Commentator Hyde began to expect: "Is it an opportunity for Ella to get a pass from a teammate when he gets out of the box?" β
Iroh faced Keita, who came to defend him, and he flicked the ball directly to the right with the outside of his right foot, and Keita was caught off guard by Iro.
Xavi, who came to help defend him, wanted to break the ball in position, but Iroh's long right leg stepped forward and stuck in front of Xavi, and Xavi was 'bounced' back......
He Wei exclaimed, "Harvey was knocked back by Iroh's strong body!" β
The scene erupted into loud cheers, among which the screams of female fans were the most violent.
Iroh was hit by the same reaction as he 'flicked' Harvey away, and staggered forward.
However, his balance is super strong, and he staggers to stabilize his figure.
At this point, Pique decisively stepped forward to break the ball.
But Iroh seemed to be prepared, and as he had just stabilized his form, he stabbed the ball between Pique's legs with the tip of his left foot, which instinctively merged his legs.
"Stumbling Iroh poked on tiptoe!"
With a shout from Hovey, the ball slipped between Pique's legs.
By the time Pique realized he was being crotched and wanted to be fouled, it was too late, as Iroh had already made his way around the left side of his body.
Seeing this, Mascherano resolutely abandoned David Villa and ran to Iro, who in his subconscious was the most dangerous person.
Similarly, goalkeeper ValdΓ©s subconsciously approached the right post to watch out for Elo's sudden shot.
However, they soon regretted it, because ...... Iello played the ball with his left foot to the unmarked David Villa.
