From the 22nd minute onwards, the attacking tempo of both teams slowed down.

After a few unsuccessful attempts at attacking, the Barcelona team gradually got into their preferred rhythm, the ball passed around the feet of each player, and because they still pressed the defense near the center circle, the Barcelona team was very patient to reverse the ball in the middle and back.

Both Messi and Neymar tried to break through with the ball, but with Real Sociedad's tight defence and lack of necessary responses, several brewing attacks came to naught.

Real Sociedad don't seem to be in a hurry to attack, and a draw means victory, so there's no reason to rush into attacking when Barcelona aren't pressing.

Both teams looked a bit unmotivated, but they weren't boring.

Through Agusli's transformation, Real Sociedad has improved possession more than before, and although it is still slightly less than Barcelona, it still ranks second in La Liga with an average of 62% possession per game.

This has almost become an impromptu performance of the players of both teams passing and receiving the ball, often Barcelona has just made a few pleasing passes, and Real Sociedad, who have regained the ball, will soon give back to the fans again with a wonderful passing and control combination.

"Hey, man, doesn't our fit look like tiki-taka?"

"Don't be stupid, don't you think our counterattack is sharper?"

"Our guys are playing well, and Barcelona doesn't seem to have any good way to do anything with us!"

"That's what I said, but ...... Ah...... I knew they weren't going to sit still......"

When Messi tried to break through on the right side with the ball again, the fans in the stands also began to get nervous.

Left-back Berziche seemed to be a little careless after successfully restricting Messi a few times, and he did not squeeze Messi to the sideline with Sans this time, but chose to take the initiative to grab it.

Messi didn't control the ball and pass back and forth like just now, and when he saw Berziche pounce, he cleverly knocked the ball outward with the instep of his left foot, and it quickly swept between Berziche's legs.

Sans, who came to help defend, obviously didn't want to repeat the mistake of Berziche, he kept a distance of about half a meter from Messi, his eyes were fixed on Messi's foot movements, and when he saw Messi about to pass the ball, he subconsciously quickly raised his leg to block......

"X, fake biography!"

Sans shouted in his heart, and before his leg fell to the ground, Messi, who paused with a fake pass, really passed the ball this time.

Seeing that Messi successfully broke through Berziche, Neymar on the left side began to move slightly, he first ran two steps to the middle, and when he saw Berziche who was marking him follow, he immediately made a sharp stop and turned around, and then directly stepped forward!

Messi's pass was just right.

Neymar stopped the ball in front of him with his chest, and without any further adjustments, he just shot with a kick......

Rulli, who was still on the left side of the net, had no time to make any saves on Neymar's shot, and he had to watch the ball go straight to the net like everyone else – almost like hitting an empty goal.

Then, a crunch "bang" was heard.

After the ball slammed into the goal post, the ghost bounced inward in front of Rulli, so much so that he almost subconsciously grabbed the ball tightly in his hand.

"I'm X! That's it! ”

"Nima!"

"Hell!"

"What a plane!"

The fans in the stands reacted in a variety of ways, some widened their eyes, some smashed their fists into their seats in frustration, others held their heads in their hands and couldn't believe the scene, and of course, more of all, the home fans were rejuvenated after the catastrophe.

The most expressive was Neymar, who wanted to celebrate after seeing the ball inexplicably grabbed by Rulli in his hand, he first bit his lip and froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and then squinted at Messi and clapped his hands in annoyance.

……

"Beautiful!" Although Neymar's shot was not successful, it still made Qu Jing near the center circle can't help but praise - Messi's pass is simply a stroke of genius, not sooner, not too late, not slow, one step later Neymar will be in an offside position, one step earlier, Neymar will not get rid of Zaldo and rush into the penalty area.

The route and speed of the pass were almost as fast as the players could do, and the tacit understanding between the two men was not bad.

"This is really a terrible player", Qu Jing couldn't help but look at Messi twice, and also sighed in his heart.

If Messi were a midfielder, he might not have surprised Qu Jing so much, but as a striker, the passing is so accurate and the timing is so appropriate, then it is no wonder that many people want to describe him as great.

Agusli was obviously also scared out of a cold sweat by Neymar's shot just now, and he quickly called Berziche and Senz to the sidelines: "Don't rush to rob, don't, you try to force Messi and Neymar out of the danger zone, steal, and hand it over to teammates in the center circle!" ”

After being told by Agusli, Berziche and Sans, who had learned their lesson, behaved more carefully.

Zaldo, who also suffered a loss to Neymar, also learned a lesson, although it was difficult for him to completely keep up with Neymar's rhythm changes alone, but with the efforts of him and Bergara, he still limited the attacking threat on Neymar's side very well.

Compared to his teammates on the defensive, it wasn't easy at all. Not only did he have to press Barcelona's midfield with a lot of running, but he also had to find the right time and prepare for the attack.

However, the Barcelona team has also significantly strengthened the defensive intensity of Qu Jing and Beila, especially Rakitic, who always maintains a distance of two to three meters from Qu Jing.

"Why does that man always follow him?" Seeing that there was always someone around Qu Jing, Ma Nan, who had been staring at the venue, asked Ma Le.

"Because Brother Qu can always create a threat, so the opposite side will send a player to keep an eye on him, as long as he gets the ball, it will form an interference, the purpose is to prevent him from passing and breaking through", Ma Le patiently explained to the old lady, but still looked at the field without blinking, as long as the players of the Real Sociedad team had a little wonderful performance, he would immediately jump up again and start shouting.

"Good shot!" Seeing Qu Jing break through the bag of Rakitic and Alba with a beautiful pick, Ma Le began to dance to the old lady again: "Did you see Brother Qu's movements?" It's so chic, you look carefully at his action of catching the ball, how to describe it in our words, freehand! That's right, it's freehand! When you feel like he's supposed to deal with it like everyone else, he just shows you a whole new way, and it's so comfortable and effective! Anyway, I like him to play football! ”

"Tsk", looking at his younger brother's adoring look, Ma Nan almost despised it again, but after thinking about his brother's words carefully, he still felt a little reasonable.

Although she still doesn't understand how to kick, judging from the movements she makes when she catches the ball, takes the ball, and passes the ball, it is indeed a bit like what her brother said - he rarely seems to stop the ball with his feet, either taking advantage of the situation or knocking it with his heel, and even like just now, he directly topped the ball with his chest to the blue-clothed player on the side......

"It's quite smart", Ma Nan muttered to herself as she watched, which also made her really focus on Qu Jing......
