Chapter 695 Oolong Assist

Although Crystal Palace is ahead of the score, it is not difficult to see that although Crystal Palace is far from being called a giant, they have begun to have something exclusive to giants due to the large investment in successive seasons.

Victory is not arrogant, white is not tired. This is the most basic element of a wealthy family.

There is still half an hour left in the game, although it takes 2 more goals to turn the tide, but half an hour, for a game, although it is not much, but it is definitely not appropriate to say less. Therefore, at such a time, Barcelona, as a non-fake and real giant, the first thing they should do is to throw away all their mental baggage and slowly look for opportunities.

Otherwise, if at such a critical moment, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity again and counterattacked 2 or 3 times, Barcelona would really lose even the opportunity to turn the tables theoretically.

It's just that I don't know if I had related ideas before, or if I really had a too unbalanced mentality because of the score behind, and when I shouldn't be in a hurry at all, Xavi, who received Messi's return pass, seemed very anxious.

After winning the ball, he just glanced up at the positions of the players on both sides in the Crystal Palace half, Xavi actually changed his usual style of playing small balls, raised a kick, and directly kicked the ball towards the Crystal Palace penalty area, just like that, and kicked it over.

Barcelona actually started to play long passes after falling behind 0-2.

The first time I saw this information, all the Crystal Palace players on the scene, including the fans, felt in their hearts that they were not anxious, nervous and other negative emotions, they felt - happy.

To tell the truth, it is by no means black Barcelona, the overall height of Barcelona players is insufficient, it is an indisputable fact, on the other hand, Crystal Palace, perhaps in terms of small technology, there is a big gap from Barcelona, but there is no doubt that playing a long pass and rushing to hang, Barcelona is an apprentice to Crystal Palace, which is slightly insufficient.

This is just talking from a technical level, and it does not take into account Barcelona's height disadvantage.

If you add in the height advantages and disadvantages of the players on both sides, well, don't talk about it, don't talk about it.

Therefore, in the face of Xavi's long pass from the backfield, which is simply not brainless, the Crystal Palace defenders who are waiting for the battle, although they are still meticulous in their actions, in fact, they are all happy in their hearts.

And the development of the facts seems to be fully in the direction of slapping Harvey in the face, step by step.

For a long pass in the backfield like Xavi, even if he can give birth to flowers at his feet, in terms of head and height, but Messi, who is completely helpless, ran two steps towards the landing point symbolically, and after being bounced off by the tall Lescott with his back, all he can do is to watch the former clear the siege with his eyes, perhaps, add one, ready to attack 2 times at any time?

Watching the ball fly towards his head step by step, Lescott, who was very satisfied with his judgment of this landing point, even had time to turn around and smile at Messi who had just "tickled" himself before clearing the siege, and then, in Messi's curse, jumped high and smashed the ball flying in the sky.

It's just that I don't know if it was Messi's collision before, which affected Lescott's original position, or from beginning to end, Lescott's judgment of the ball's landing point can only be called basically in place, not accurate, in short, before the jump, Lescott, who was still full of confidence, really touched the ball with his scalp, but there was something called uneasiness in his heart for no reason.

And the source of Lescott's uneasiness is that when no one is pressing, he actually made a low-level mistake and skewed this really difficult clearance ball.

Ah, no, it's a bit off the ground to say that the top is crooked, but the truth is that Lescott roughly calculated the landing point of the ball, but overestimated his own jump height, so that in the scramble for the high-altitude ball, he appeared to rise to the top.

Feeling the ball rubbing his head, flying behind him, and then contacting Messi, who had no choice but to walk away because he couldn't get stuck in the card position, why was Lescote uneasy, and he was about to come out.

Next, the development of facts once again confirmed Lescott's uneasiness.

Just as Lescott has absolute confidence in his header, Messi's confidence in the long pass that evolves from a header to a ball at his feet will definitely not be much less than that of Lescott a second ago.

With a slight touch of the chest, it was like smearing glue on his clothes, steadily stopping the ball at his feet, and with a dexterous turn, Messi helped Barcelona get a very good opportunity in less than a second.

Before Lescott cleared the ball, it was about 25 meters in the penalty area, and Messi, who got the ball behind him, had almost stepped into the top arc of Crystal Palace with one foot. In this position, the absolute force is Messi's range, and in this position, Messi's goal rate is quite high, yes, almost without any hesitation, as soon as he turned around, Messi planned to get up directly, go around a far corner, and try it.

However, the idea of shooting directly only stayed in Messi's mind in the end, and there was no meaning to practice. Or meaning.

Because, as soon as he turned his head, Messi found that another central defender of Crystal Palace didn't know when he invaded his social distance, at this distance, Messi said that he had shot with his feet, but whenever there was the slightest hesitation in processing, the ball would be snatched away by the former in seconds.

And perhaps it was to see the hesitation in Messi's eyes, Barzaretti, who was just stuck in the position and had no actual action, when Messi had just dispelled the idea of shooting and had not had time to quickly retract his backward feet, he did not hesitate to choose to grab, and this time to grab was very accurate, just when Messi's old power was just exhausted and the new power was not born.

Seeing that Barcelona has a rare opportunity to pick up the leaks, it will still end in a mistake, and Messi, who really doesn't want to let himself make such a mistake, can only choose to deal with it in a hurry as a last resort.

Just now, how many people stepped forward with him, to tell the truth, although Messi's vision is not bad, but he is really not very clear, as for whether his teammates on the right side can keep up, Messi is not sure at all.

However, regardless of whether there are teammates on the right side or not, whatever, kicking the ball out is much stronger than being Barzaretti, with such thoughts, in the case that there is really no other way to think about it, in a small area, with his own high Balzaretti's explosive power and agility, Messi's raised left foot came first, grabbed the ball before Balzaretti broke the ball, and kicked the ball towards the right side where it seemed that there were no players on either side for the time being.

Wait, didn't you just say that Crystal Palace has already stationed its own defense, just waiting for Barcelona to attack? Why is there no one on the left side of Crystal Palace when Messi passes?

The reason is actually very simple, and it is easy to understand, seeing Xavi make a long pass, and the Crystal Palace left-back outflanked to fill in the middle?

No, Zabaleta, who was supposed to appear on Messi's ball line, ended up on Messi's ball line, but the former was the place where he touched the ball, from the side of the field to the middle, that's all.

It's just that when Zabaleta touched the ball, the Crystal Palace fans who arrived today only had time to relax for a second, or even less than a second, and then they fell into boundless worry.

Because, Zabaleta made a mistake.

No, to be precise, Zabaleta can't be considered a mistake either.

As mentioned above, Messi's pass is definitely improvised, and more importantly, before Messi plays the ball, neither Messi nor Barzaretti can be 100% guaranteed that they can touch the ball first.

Under this premise, it is difficult to expect Zabaleta to be able to judge who can touch the ball before the above two actually touch it.

This can't be analyzed, and Zabaleta naturally can't analyze the direction behind the ball.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that after the ball was kicked out by Messi from a short distance, it was so coincidental that it not only hit Zabaleta's feet, but also smashed into Zabaleta's footlegs.

Well, he didn't know if anyone else would be able to stop Zabaleta with his footing leg without realizing it, what he did know was that he didn't have the ability to do it anyway.

So, as a matter of course, the ball bounced off again with a simple change of direction after hitting Zabaleta's footing leg without any reaction.
