As the game drew to a close, the Chelsea players were clearly out of strength, while the Barcelona players looked particularly resilient. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The Chelsea players are a little unable to run," Zhang Junwen also spotted, "The Premier League is a recognized devil's schedule, and there is no winter break, which also leads to the fact that Premier League teams tend to have a physical disadvantage in the knockout stages of European competitions. I remember Bale said in an interview when he first transferred to Real Madrid that it would be difficult for the Premier League to make a difference in the Champions Cup without making changes to the schedule. ”

Zhang Lu nodded and agreed: "There is only one Chelsea in the top 8 of the Champions League this year, Manchester City and Arsenal have collapsed, and fitness is indeed an important factor restricting them." ”

Shi Hao also felt that his feet were as heavy as lead. He played more than 60 minutes in the last league game against Manchester United and was in worse fitness than the likes of Eden Hazard, who did not play.

Jose Mourinho's face has been gloomy and he has also noticed a drop in fitness from his players. It didn't take long for him to make the decision to replace Oscar with Willian and Ramirez for Cesc Fabregas. Enrique also used up his last substitution, bringing on Pedro for Suarez.

Both sides are making a last-ditch effort.

At this time, Messi also suddenly became active.

In the previous 80-odd minutes of the game, Messi rarely broke through with the ball by himself, and under the close defense of long-legged Matic, he chose to cooperate more with his teammates.

In the first 80 minutes, Barcelona's brightest man was Neymar, who not only scored two goals, but also made a number of wonderful individual breakthroughs.

But now at the stage where everyone's physical fitness is declining, Messi is like a little tiger who has just woken up, galloping on the field.

A pleasing succession of dribbles, a sudden burst of surprise, continued to threaten Chelsea's defence.

In the 82nd minute, he picked up the ball 40 meters from goal, suddenly started to break through Matic's defence, and under the joint closing of Ramirez and Cahill, he stumbled past and broke into the penalty area, and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner, the ball grazed the post and flew off the line, causing a sigh of regret at the Camp Nou.

Shi Hao watched from afar, almost thinking that the ball was going in, and his heartbeat missed a few beats. If Barcelona had scored at this time, it would have been too much of a morale blow to Chelsea.

"Messi, break through the defense, get up and shoot! Oops, almost, Chelsea's defense in this Messi corridor is too careless," Zhang Junwen sighed, but his tone seemed to be glad that Messi didn't score, "It's really a pleasure to watch Messi play." Maybe seeing the performances of Neymar and Shi Hao, he also felt the pressure of these two, so he suddenly broke out. ”

Zhang Lu also smiled: "Neymar and Shi Hao are both strong contenders for the Golden Ball, and it will not be so easy for Messi and Ronaldo to continue to take turns in the future." Chelsea kicked the ball off, didn't kick it wide, played a short pass to John Terry and slowly launched the attack......"

Shi Hao let his position retreat a little more. With Cesc Fabregas gone, Chelsea's midfield was even more jerky and he had to drop back a bit to help organise.

In the last game, due to Messi's large retracement, he and Messi had 4 direct encounters. Once he broke through Messi with the ball, and three times Messi tried to break through him with the ball, but only succeeded once.

And in today's game, until now, he has not had the opportunity to play directly with Messi.

Chelsea got up front and passed the ball too wide and went off the touchline. Barcelona threw the ball, Messi received the ball, and Shi Hao immediately posted it.

Seeing Shi Hao coming, Messi did not dribble again, but handed over the ball. After playing against Chelsea in the last round, he experienced Shi Hao's speed first-hand, and there was no need to take risks.

Although Messi is also a player known for his speed, he is still inferior in this regard compared to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was very unwilling. But the opponent really didn't need to cooperate with his thoughts, he could only shake his head and continue to chase the football......

In possession of the ball, the minutes of the game are being consumed, and so is the fitness of the Chelsea players......

In the 88th minute, Messi suddenly started to get past Nemanja Matic, and in the face of Ramirez, he flicked the ball to the left to dodge the gap and stuffed the ball straight into the Chelsea penalty area.

Neymar, who had been silent for a while, appeared in front of the ball and stopped the ball with his back to the goal. Because it was in the penalty area, although Terry posted it for the first time, he did not rush out and waited for Ivanovic to come forward to cooperate with the scramble.

Neymar was like a juggler, when Ivanovic pressed over, he suddenly pulled the ball three times in a row and turned around, broke through the combined attack of Ivanovic and Terry, and dribbled the ball to the bottom line and crossed.

"Neymar broke through, beautiful, crossed! Cahill clears the ball. Ramirez chested the ball, beautiful, picked the ball past Xavi, Chelsea had a chance to counter-attack! ”

Ramirez got past Xavi and strode through the midfield. There was Xavi as a chaser in the back, and Sergi Roberto in front of him to intercept, but he didn't dribble the ball anymore and chose to distribute the ball to the wing.

Fresh force Willian ran wildly along the touchline with the ball, used his speed to break through the tired Alba, looked up at the middle, and decisively crossed with his feet.

Mid Diego. Costa flanked but his header failed to hit the ground and Ter Stegen held the ball firmly and then tossed it to Rakitic to attack.

At this time, most of the Chelsea players pressed up, and the midfield looked extremely empty, and Rakitic made a long pass to the midfield to find Messi.

As soon as Messi stopped the ball on his chest, he was about to turn around, but at this time, a person rushed out of the diagonal stab and was about to break the ball.

Messi didn't see who was coming, but as soon as his body made contact, he immediately pulled the ball and turned around, intending to pass it to his teammates.

But the comer was so fast that he stepped over in two steps and snatched the ball away before he could kick it.

"Shi Hao broke the ball from Messi's feet!" Zhang Junwen exclaimed, "Messi counter-robbers...... Unsuccessful, Shi Hao continued to dribble the ball! ”

Messi did not continue to chase, but Shi Hao soon had two more in front of him, Xavi and Sergi Robert ran towards him left and right. Shi Hao didn't wait for the two to complete the encirclement, and suddenly picked up a pass behind Xavi, Ramirez appeared there, easily unloaded the ball and turned around. He was about to hit the ball to the side, Shi Hao shouted, and Ramirez changed his mind and passed the ball in front of Shi Hao. After all, Shi Hao is the offensive core of the team.

Shi Hao used his speed to grab in front of Sergi Roberto, and blocked him with his body, and when Ramirez's pass arrived, Shi Hao did not stop the ball but went forward and passed Rakitic who pounced.

"There is a hole in the Barcelona defence!" Zhang Junwen exclaimed, "It's a 5-4 situation now!" ”
