No. 187: Everything comes from Messi
Two to zero!
Real Madrid doubled their lead before the end of the match.
Real Madrid's goal was very, very lucky, the luckiest goal in Spain this year.
For this reason, at this time, the Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu stadium are thanking one person.
This man is not Casillas, not Sergio Ramos, not Dongfang Chen, not Florentino.
This man is their opponent, a member of their sworn enemy Barcelona, and he is Valdés!
Valdés' name rings over the Santiago Bernabeu!
"Valdés is well done, your undercover career has been successful! Congratulations, Valdés, your undercover mission is finally complete! Valdés, our alternative hero of Real Madrid! Valdés: Thank you! There is a greatness called Valdés! Valdés, we will always remember you! ”
Hearing these shouts, Valdés' face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Valdés's own goal was a very big blow to the morale of the Barcelona team, in the final stage of the first half of the game, Barcelona's players wanted to attack, but they couldn't attack, and there were big problems with the coordination, which seemed disorganized.
On the contrary, Barcelona's defense had problems, and Real Madrid almost seized the opportunity to extend the score again.
Fortunately, there was not much time left, and the Barcelona team escaped.
At the end of the first half, Real Madrid took a 2-0 lead over Barcelona at their home stadium.
The first half was a lucky one for Real Madrid, who scored a world wave and then doubled the lead with Valdés' bizarre own goal.
The Barcelona players were demoralized at this time, and this first half was simply terrible.
At halftime, Barcelona's coach Vilanova was very angry, in the locker room he cursed the Barcelona players frantically, at this time he seemed to be possessed by Ferguson, turned on the hair dryer mode, it was spitting, almost all Barcelona players had Vilanova saliva on their faces, Messi was no exception.
Of course, it was Valdés who was sprayed the most.
At this time, Valdés was powerless to refute, his performance in the first half was indeed very, very bad, Valdés had nothing to say.
However, Messi had a pimple in his heart.
Messi is disgusted with Villanova at this time, what else will this guy do at halftime except to curse openly? The tactics are completely designed before, and this guy's on-the-spot adaptability is too poor, and he is even more helpless for some emergencies.
In the league, Barcelona are strong and play well, so these problems are rarely exposed.
However, these weaknesses were also evident in the few games that Barcelona lost, especially now, so Messi felt that Villanova was not suitable to be the head coach of Barcelona at all.
However, at this time, Messi did not bring it up, nor did he openly oppose Vilanova.
Now that the game is in progress, the Barcelona team can't mess up, otherwise, the Barcelona game will really be over.
Yes, in such a situation, Messi still did not give up, he thinks that they still have a chance in the second half, and they must do their best in the second half to equalize the score as soon as possible, so that they can hope to overtake.
At half-time, Vilanova made only one change other than venting his anger, which was to replace Valdés with Pinto, and he didn't do anything else.
Soon the second half began, and at the beginning of the game, the Barcelona team did not fight back like crazy, they still attacked according to their routine.
Barcelona kept the football firmly at their feet, passing it back and forth in midfield, occasionally passing it forward once or twice, testing Real Madrid's defence.
Real Madrid's defense is very tight, it doesn't matter if you Barcelona pass backwards in midfield, we give you space. But as soon as Barcelona passed the ball forward, threatening Real Madrid's half-thirty metre zone, they immediately pushed forward and defended ferociously.
Barcelona felt like they didn't have much chance after playing like this for ten minutes, and at this time, Messi immediately made a change, and after receiving the ball, he immediately broke through with the football.
Yes, Messi has strengthened his personal breakthrough, he is ready to tear apart Real Madrid's defense with his breakthrough, if he can tear apart Real Madrid's defense alone, it would be best, if not, he can also attract more defenders, and then he can pass the football into the air.
The turf is still slippery, and although the snow has stopped now, the geothermal heat in the stadium has melted the snow into water, and in some places it has become a little waterlogged.
Messi has a lot of difficulty breaking through with the ball, and he has to prevent falling, and his breakthrough is much different from usual.
However, in such a situation, his current breakthrough is still very useful.
"Ahh It's over, Messi has passed, he's already passed three people in a row, Real Madrid is dangerous! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, exclaimed.
"Shoot!" Xu Yang, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, roared excitedly.
Messi found a gap in meaning after past three defenders in a row, and he didn't let the opportunity slip away and fired directly into the penalty area.
With a bang, the ball clung to the turf and flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal.
The ball was fast, and Real Madrid fans were worried.
Diego López reacted immediately and threw himself sideways, but he was too far away from the ball to touch it.
The Barcelona fans immediately got excited and screamed.
Unfortunately, the football rolled out of the bottom line against the outer edge of the post on the right side and smashed on the billboard.
"Wow! What a pity! It's a pity that football is a little off, and Messi is unlucky! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, exclaimed.
"Messi's goal is a pity, this goal is actually very similar to Dongfang Chen's kick in the first half of the game, but Dongfang Chen's kick scored, and Messi's kick is really a fraction of a cent." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"After Messi strengthened the breakthrough, the effect was very significant, and Barcelona had significantly more shots on goal and more threat. Real Madrid has been a wolf for a while, and he has to deal with it. Xu Yang continued.
At this time, the pressure on Real Madrid's players was very high, and Messi suddenly became active in the second half of the game, and his breakthrough caused very big trouble for Real Madrid.
On the sidelines, Real Madrid's head coach Benitez frowned at this time, thought about it for a while, and quickly came to the sidelines, signaling the players of Real Madrid to stabilize and not worry.
At this time, Gareth Bale suddenly sent a beautiful through ball from the wing, and the ball went straight through the direction of Barcelona.
At the moment of Gareth Bale's pass, Dongfang Chen started to cut forward, and the pass was very tacit. Dongfang Chen instantly surpassed the Barcelona team's defense line and broke through alone!
"It's a single knife! Dongfang Chen is single-handed! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, roared excitedly.
However, the linesman raised the flag in his hand and signaled that Dongfang Chen was offside!
"Offside? How is this possible? There was absolutely no offside, it was a misjudgment, it was an absolute misjudgment! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, said, "We can see that at the moment of Gareth Bale's pass, Dongfang Chen was obviously not offside, and he was still behind Puyol, which was a miscalculation!" ”
The slow motion display is very clear, Dongfang Chen is not offside.
And this is obvious, the linesman should be easy to see, but unfortunately the linesman still raised the flag in his hand and signaled that Dongfang Chen was offside.
Fortunately, the goal was blown offside, otherwise, Barcelona would have fallen behind 0-3!
This goal also sounded the alarm for the Barcelona people who are attacking with all their might, and when attacking, they must not ignore the defense, and Real Madrid's attacking ability is super strong.
However, this did not slow down the pace of Barcelona's attack.
The Barcelona people would not admit defeat so easily, Alves came directly to the backfield with a long ball close to the ground, and the football with external spin directly bypassed Real Madrid's Gareth Bale and rolled to the feet of Messi.
Messi immediately cut inside with the ball and smashed into the Real Madrid penalty area.
Real Madrid defenders Pepe and Coentrão pounced quickly and the two combined to sprint towards Messi.
Seeing the two rushing up, Messi suddenly crossed the football, and then he himself rushed forward and smashed into the Real Madrid penalty area.
The neutral Xavi did not stop the ball, and directly said that the football pushed to the ribs on the right side of the penalty area, and the football quickly rolled to the feet of Messi, who was inserted forward.
"Chance, Messi is in, great opportunity for Barcelona!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, exclaimed.
The Barcelona fans at the scene were holding their breath and staring at Messi in the stadium with blazing eyes.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego López moved quickly to the left of the goal to block the corner.
But at this time, Messi got up directly, he met the ball and shot with a blast, and with a bang, the football flew out rapidly.
"Shoot, Messi burst!" Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, roared excitedly.
It's a ball that sticks to the ground, and the ball clings to the turf and flies quickly towards the goal - the far corner!
Yes, the ball flew straight to the bottom left corner of the goal, and Messi asked for a reverse corner that went in the opposite direction of Diego López.
Diego López, who was moving quickly to his left, was so shocked that he immediately made a sharp stop and then slammed into his right.
But inertia kept his body moving to the left, his hand just a stone's throw away from the ball, and Diego Lopez could only watch as the ball rolled into the far end of the goal.
At 1-2, Barcelona equalized in the 39th minute of the second half.
The Barcelonans are excited, they haven't lost yet, they have a chance. Excited Barcelona fans were frantically cheering on Barcelona for a win.
However, it is true that they scored a little late at this point in time, and the chances of them trying to overtake are slim. But the equalizer is not hopeless.
The Barcelona players were like chickens, attacking frantically in the final moments of the game, hoping to win the game.
Barcelona had a good chance in the final moments of the game, but Cesc Fabregas's close-range shot was fired with an anti-aircraft gun, and Real Madrid were able to save the win.
