Messi, who took the initiative to retreat, was unusually active.

Because he has the ball at his feet.

The previous tactical arrangement of Barcelona allowed Messi to always be in front, and under the strict defense of the Maritimo players, he was like a kite with a broken line, and he could not get the support of his teammates, and he played for more than 30 minutes, and he didn't get a few kicks in total.

He was like a traveler lost in the desert, dying of thirst. And the ball is a pool of sweet springs, how can Messi, who has been hungry and thirsty for a long time, not drink it at once!

When he retreated, the first time he got the ball, he used the break to give Maritimo a dismount.

As soon as he got the ball, Joao stuck up and wanted to steal.

Messi just deftly stepped the ball forward and dodged Joao's tackle.

Then there was another line change, which deducted Danso, who was assisting in the defense, and the body was stunned, and then suddenly jumped out, using the rhythm change to shake off the J Ronaldo who was chasing back, and then continued to move forward.

The diminutive plum ball king stirred up the wind and rain in the midfield, broke through 4 players in a row, and was finally knocked to the ground by Zhou Yong and won a free kick.

Messi used practical actions to tell the world that he is still the king of the ball who can connect several people!

Of course, the years have left their mark after all. In the past, the plum ball king at his peak could score the ball in a few people's bag and beat 5 people in a row; Now, however, he has only played past four men in midfield in exchange for a free-kick.

This kind of record is a miracle worth remembering for a lifetime, but for Messi, the quasi-ball king, it is a proof of declining strength!

Luckily, it was only in midfield, and fortunately the foul was timely. However, Gao Yuan on the sidelines already smelled danger.

He loudly reminded his players, "Watch out for Messi, he's going to start getting the ball!" ”

However, for the quasi-ball king, it is not something that can be prevented if you want to.

Although the Maritimo players have cheered up and strengthened their defense against Messi, they are still frequently broken through by Messi and killed people on their backs.

Messi is like Changshan Zhao Zilong, and Camp Nou is Changsakapo, killing seven in and seven out, and the blood-stained robe.

Messi's bravery also drove the entire Barcelona offensive line.

The most important thing to break through the dense defense is to break through, which is also an important reason why Barcelona was not afraid of buses in the past. Barcelona in its heyday, on the basis of passing and control, Messi and Iniesta both had the ability to step on the joint venture and ride alone, and they could easily tear the hole in the opponent's defense. If the opponent assists in defense and supplements the defense, it will cause confusion in the defensive line and the emptiness of troops in other places.

If you want to prevent Messi's breakthrough, you have to increase the strength of the defense, and Messi alone can contain the attention of 3-4 defenders.

What's even more terrifying is that Messi has extraordinary vision and amazing passing ability.

He is keenly aware of openings on the move and delivers penetrating passes.

Towards the end of the first half, Messi swam to the edge of the box, dribbled laterally, attracted three more defenders, and then suddenly sent a pass through the gap and hit the feet of Antoine Griezmann.

Griezmann was unguarded by his side, and he paused slightly, as if he didn't expect Messi to be able to pass such an unbelievable pass!

The French striker quickly adjusts and hits the goal!

But that meal just now saved Maritimo. Niu Gensheng pounced with lightning speed, and his tall body stretched to the limit, like an extra wall of sighs on the flat ground.

Antoine Griezmann's shot was saved by a big slap from Niu Gensheng.

There was a sigh in the stands at the Camp Nou, but then there was loud applause.

These applause are naturally dedicated to the king of Camp Nou - Messi! Barcelona fans haven't seen "Boss Mei" so serious and trying his best to give such a wonderful performance for a long time!

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0:1.

Maritimo is temporarily ahead.

After a 15-minute halftime break, Messi, who had recovered from his physical strength, kicked harder.

The teammates also seem to be more "on the road", handing the ball to Messi when there is one, and then actively running, opening up the gap, creating space and opportunities for Messi.

"Obviously, Barcelona has unified their thinking and adjusted their tactics in the locker room, and now the tactical style of play with Messi as the core of the organization is more resolute!"

The Catalan commentator commented excitedly.

Of course, the Barcelona players played resolutely, because the scene that had just happened in the dressing room was too impressive for them.

Time rewinds to a dozen minutes ago.

Koeman was in the dressing room, loudly encouraging the players.

"Good job, boys! At least it caused a lot of trouble for the other party! Keep up the good work! ”

But no one responded, and everyone knew that it was Messi, not himself, who caused the trouble. Besides, the score is still behind!

"Let's plan for the second half......"

Coman cheered up and walked to the tactical board, ready to plan his next strategy.

"No need." A cold voice suddenly sounded among the players.

Everyone was shocked, and they followed the reputation, but they saw that it was the terrible Messi with cold eyes!

"Give me the ball in the second half, organize it with me as the center, I take the ball, you guys just open the air for me, I will pass the ball to the most threatening place!"

Messi's voice is resolute and calm.

Koeman advised: "Leao, it's too hard to play like this, it's going to be hard for you to keep up with the whole game. It's better for you to go to the front ......."

"My fitness is fine! Just do what I say! Messi interrupted the manager again categorically.

“……”

Everyone looked at the core of the team in amazement. I don't know what medicine he took wrong today, he is so angry, and he doesn't give the coach face.

For nearly 10 years, there has been only one core in Barcelona's dressing room, and this core has never been the manager. It's Messi!

Although the plum ball king is full of words at Camp Nou, and he also has a black history of sending text messages to fire the coach squid, he has never contradicted the head coach back then.

At least in terms of face, everyone is amiable.

Koeman, as an iron-blooded manager with the DNA of the Barcelona club, has always been known for his decisiveness. Back then, Bartomeu, the president of the club, brought him in for the Great Purge. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and Bartomeu himself got out of class first.

Everyone is worried that Koeman, who can't get off the stage, will fight with Messi face to face.

Everyone nervously turned their eyes to Koeman, but saw that the Dutchman's face changed in an instant, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

After a long time, he slowly spit out a sentence: "Okay, just do what Leo says!"

At Camp Nou, there is only one king, and that is Messi!

Back in the game, since even the iron-blooded coach has admitted it, how dare the players have the slightest criticism.

All Messi's decisions are firmly supported by everyone; All Messi's instructions, everyone will unswervingly carry them out!

Be afraid of everything and be resolute.

When Barcelona abandoned all selfish distractions and began to resolutely run around Messi, Messi's role was also maximized!

It's even more trouble for Maritimo!
