517 Barcelona that can defend, the king is back!
Against a top team like Barcelona, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to play a continuous attacking attack.
Because Barcelona will interrupt the opponent's rhythm with passing.
It's difficult to play head-to-head or keep going back and forth, and Barcelona won't let the game get out of control unless they're down and have to pick up the tempo.
When Atletico Madrid's threatening offensive ended, Barcelona first shaped the situation with passing, and then launched a threatening attack.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Messi retreated from the right side of the front field and passed by Ye Yifeng to receive Roberto's pass, made a short cross to the middle, and quickly turned around and cut inside after the ball.
Andres Iniesta played in the middle and knocked the ball back with his heel when he was pressed by Koke.
Koke looked away, and Messi struck from behind Iniesta.
Partai moved quickly.
But it's not as fast as Messi's ball.
Coutinho received Messi's clever pass, faked a flick in front of Godin and shook it open before slotting it out and slotting it out.
The ball rolls towards the far corner of the goal at an extremely tricky angle.
Oblak made a flying save to the limit.
Bang.
The ball bounced off the baseline after hitting the outside of the far post.
Barcelona fans were stunned.
The difference is a fraction of a centimeter.
Oblak drove the ball in goal, Costa won with a header in front of the center circle, but Saul was forced by Iniesta and Rakitic in the follow-up, and when the second header found Ye Yifeng, Ye Yifeng was already pressed by Busquets at close range.
The two played against the mid-leaf striker who stopped the ball on his chest, and the ball popped up a little far.
He collided with Messi in the chase.
The ball goes off the touchline.
The referee did not blow for a foul and gave Barcelona a touchline ball.
Ye Yifeng expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee.
"He touched it!"
Messi shouted to Ye Yifeng in the forward position: "Obviously, I touched the ball first, and the ball was touched by you." ”
Ye Yifeng quickly returned to the defense and said seriously to Messi: "No way, I'm faster than you." ”
"I'm faster!"
Ye Yifeng is indisputable.
Well, fast or you're fast.
I'm persistent.
The change in Barcelona's defensive mode today does not necessarily require Ye Yifeng to show a stronger performance.
On the contrary, it is more of a test for the other players of Atletico Madrid.
When they encounter huge counter-attack pressure and blockade restrictions, whether they can successfully complete the transition from defense to attack and deliver shells to the front line on the basis of good defense is the key.
Barcelona were successful at both ends of the pitch.
But what Barcelona fans are most worried about is that the team will not be able to score!
If it doesn't rain when it's dry, it's useless.
In the 27th minute of the game, Alba assisted on the left side and turned inside after receiving a return pass from Coutinho.
Saul quickly flanked Alba with Correa, who sent the ball wide to the left in front of the penalty area.
Suarez took the initiative to take the ball back and knock it back.
As soon as Iniesta stopped the ball, he faked a reverse shear and changed direction, and Koke saw that he was about to be passed, so he didn't care about it, so he didn't move his mouth and grabbed the arm of the old white Iniesta.
Iniesta changed direction and broke through with his foot missed, and was dragged in place.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Koke and then showed him a yellow card.
Atletico Madrid volleyball wall.
Messi stood in front of the football and prepared to take the free-kick.
Atletico Madrid's disadvantage in the face of Barcelona's position is clear at a glance, and the strongest short-pass penetration of the team on this planet is naturally Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid has no choice but to give the opponent a free kick opportunity.
Ye Yifeng lined up the wall, tensed his muscles and hands to protect the old man, and at the moment when Messi was about to shoot the ball, Ye Yifeng jumped with his teammates.
Under the watchful eye, the soccer ball began to fall after passing over the head of the human wall, and although the amplitude was not obvious, it was indeed running towards the goal.
Ye Yifeng fell to the ground, and the cheers at Camp Nou shook the earth.
Boss Mei's free kick hit a dead corner!
It's as common as drinking water, eating, sleeping, and shooting!
"Messi's inexplicable direct free-kick breaks through the Atletico Madrid goal!
How can this kind of scene be so lacking Messi?
Today he performed well in terms of organising tandem attacks and creating chances in the front, but Barcelona could not break the deadlock, and Messi stepped up decisively!
Atletico Madrid's overall disadvantage is clear, and Barcelona were well prepared today and in perfect form.
The most important change was that they defended very well today, barely giving Atletico Madrid a chance to threaten in attack.
Ye Yifeng had very few touches on the ball.
When he can't get the ball, he doesn't have any use for it, even if he has top quality.
Barcelona 1:0 Atletico Madrid! ”
When Messi rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, he deliberately glanced back at Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng looked at Boss Mei and began to be a little anxious.
A draw is acceptable to Atletico Madrid.
There was a consensus on this point before the game.
But when the score is behind, the disadvantage on the field seems to have turned into a difficult dilemma.
If you just wait for your teammates to play super to create opportunities, then Ye Yifeng is not the king of red and white!
After Messi clenched his fists and roared in celebration, Atletico Madrid had already set up their formation.
Ye Yifeng had a brief exchange with Correa.
He allowed Correado to run forward and he tried to create chances for the opposition to possess the ball.
Regardless of whether the battle can be resolved with a long pass, at least Atletico Madrid must be able to play the offensive to the front first.
The camera is on Griezmann on the bench.
It seems to imply that Atletico Madrid is missing him and the attacking threat is declining.
Atletico Madrid kicked off and immediately launched a fast attack.
When Ye Yifeng dribbled and advanced on the left side of the front field near the inside area, he encountered Roberto, Busquets, and Iniesta, while Boss Mei returned to the deep area of the defense, and he had a hunch that Ye Yifeng might return to the side!
His sixth sense wasn't quite accurate.
Ye Yifeng crossed the ball diagonally to the right in front of the penalty area in the sandwich.
Correa Neche ran to the kill, but it was too big to stop and take the trip!
Ter Stegen struck and scrambled to hold the ball in his arms in the box.
When Barcelona passed and controlled again to shape the situation and press in the front, Ye Yifeng returned to the front of the penalty area.
Barcelona attacked quickly, and Coutinho crossed the left side of the penalty area.
Suarez cut in diagonally to protect the ball in the middle of the run, pulled it out to the wing, and knocked it back.
Andres Iniesta followed up into the box but crossed the ball diagonally into the right side of the box.
Messi quickly stepped forward and sprinted past Jimenez from a tight angle.
Oblak played solidly to block the near corner of the goal, and the flying ball was blocked by him.
Atletico Madrid's defense is in turmoil!
When Atletico Madrid launched a positional attack, Simeone frowned slightly on the sidelines.
Barcelona's overall defence has retraced significantly.
It seems that it is no longer a posture of pressing from a high position, but instead a defensive counterattack!
Valverde's face was calm.
He really put a lot of thought into defending today.
Draws, leads, including how to adjust when you're behind, made it clear to Barcelona before the game.
The team also has a strong comprehension ability, and the basic implementation is in place so far.
Even the forward trident has returned to the backfield.
This situation is indeed too common, usually in the final stage of the game, and in order not to give the opponent a chance to attack, Barcelona will only be visible after the formation itself is delayed.
Ye Yifeng began to get more balls, but facing the Barcelona defense turned into a tough battle!
In the 33rd minute, he tried to deliver a diagonal pass from outside the box.
Correa cut inside from far post to form a shot in the box, but the ball was deflected wide.
Barcelona switched to positional battles and still passed tepidly, and then suddenly picked up speed to launch a fast attack.
In the 37th minute, Messi sent a straight stopper over the top in front of the center circle.
Suarez stepped forward from an offside position and jumped straight to head the goal.
The ball went over the head of Oblak as he struck it, but grazed the top of the net above the crossbar.
Another heart-wrenching and dangerous scene.
In the 41st minute, Barcelona retreated, and Atletico Madrid naturally pressed in formation.
Ye Yifeng switched positions to the right side, received a pass from Koke and directly accelerated to play Alba.
Stepping on the bicycle sharply, the body made an inward cut, but when Alba returned to the inside, Ye Yifeng reversed the shear and pulled the ball to complete the breakthrough.
Then smash the ball and change direction to Alba, who used his body to protect the ball to force it, but after successfully entering the penalty area, there was no space.
Sergio Busquets formed a joint defence with Umtiti to block his path.
Ye Yifeng pulled the ball in front of him and passed the ball behind the two at the same time.
Costa picked up the ball in the middle chest and forced a turn and volley.
From a slightly squared angle, Ter Stegen made a cross pounce to keep the ball out of the box.
When Iniesta was counter-attacked by Saul in front of the penalty area, he took a small step into the box and quickly crossed it.
Coutinho dribbled two steps forward and immediately crossed the ball diagonally to Messi, who had started to run forward.
Barcelona counterattack quickly!
Atletico Madrid's defence is on the verge of a big enemy.
Partey didn't have time to retreat, and the back of the middle circle started to kill Messi to intercept, and if he couldn't do it, he would be fouled.
At least he's thinking correctly.
But Messi was close to two meters away from him and changed direction to complete the breakthrough.
Partai stopped abruptly and then turned back to chase after him, and he was already clean.
Koke came from behind and seemed to be closing the distance between him and Messi, but Messi changed direction and opened up the distance between him and Koke was never able to get close.
Barcelona fans are secretly clenching their fists with excitement!
The unstoppable Boss Mei reappears in the rivers and lakes!
When Messi hit the edge of the box, Jimenez moved a step and put a tackle on Messi's forward line.
Playing dead as a barricade stunt also escaped!
But Messi stopped sharply and then smashed the ball and reversed the cut, and the line changed direction to bypass Jimenez!
Godin didn't care too much and immediately moved towards Messi head-on.
At this moment, Messi knocked the ball across the left rib of the penalty area.
Suarez quickly followed up and got in place.
Godin made another sharp stop to turn around to go back to intercept the Uruguayan countryman, but Suarez took the ball with a clean kick and the ball rolled into the middle of the penalty area.
Hit the wall and play Godin completely like a dog!
Oblak attacked, and Messi naturally scrambled to the first and directly fired a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner of the goal.
Oblak subconsciously raised his hand to block and didn't touch anything.
The ball slices through the air in a small parabola and crashes lightly into the bottom right corner of the goal!
The Camp Nou shook the ball!
Boss Mei scored twice!
Announce the return of the king!
