Chapter 554: I Lost, But Football Won

Maritimo's frantic pressing made Barcelona uncomfortable.

In particular, after 30 minutes of such high intensity, the Barcelona crowd looked full of collapse and despair.

Many veteran players are thinking of the unforgettable 8:2 a few years ago.

is also in the Champions League top 8, the same opponent who crushed him with speed, strength, body, and impact, and was also caught off guard by the opponent.

Originally, everyone was still vaguely looking forward to such an intensity, and the opponent couldn't hold on for long, but after 30 minutes of the game, the opponent's intensity did not decrease at all, and even the more he played, the more tacit understanding he played, and the more he played, the more confident he became.

It's clear that Maritimo is going to use this tactic throughout the game!

I don't know if the other party's physical strength can hold it up.

However, now is not the time to worry about others, I don't know if the opponent can hold on, anyway, I can't hold on!

I have to talk about it again, Barcelona's current passing control is pseudo-passing, there are too many horizontal passes, return passes, meaningless passes, too few effective passes forward, and large-scale transfers and sharp scalpel passes are even rarer.

Such a pseudo-pass control can't break Maritimo's bus in the last game, and there is no way to use the high position of this game.

In particular, the midfield organizer Pjanic showed the true character of the little prince of the return pass, under the crazy pressing of the opponent, the pass success rate was super high, but it was all a return pass to the backfield, which not only had no meaning for the attack, but also led the fire to his own goal.

This also represents the mentality of many old Barcelona players, who do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

In the 35th minute, the ball was again at the feet of Pjanic, who was at the back.

He felt that a defender was pressing behind him and couldn't turn calmly, so he passed the ball back again.

The Maritimo players have long seen through Pjanic's routine and have been waiting for him on the ball for a long time.

Coincidentally, this time Pjanic's return pass to Umtiti was not strong enough, and it was a knife ball that needed to be fought by Umtiti and the attacking players!

Umtiti met the ball, but Ronaldo was quicker halfway through. Instead of taking the ball, he suddenly poked it forward and the ball went through Umtiti's crotch!

This dexterous stab, even the steal and pass at the same time, fully reflects Ronaldo's ball sense and talent.

Past Umtiti, Ronaldo skimmed past the Barcelona backline and only took one step forward into the box.

Against Ter Stegen, Ronaldo blasted the ball into the top corner.

1:0!

Maritimo's high-post pressing tactics have finally come to fruition!

Barcelona, which is lagging behind, has no choice but to let Messi's position retreat again and play the role of organizer.

This time there is no need for Messi to ask for it, even Coman arranged it this way.

Without him, there is really no way!

The current Barcelona can stabilize the organization of the ball and is not afraid of pressing, only Messi.

As for what physical fitness is not good or something, it's not something that should be considered now, let's find a way to live first.

After Messi retreated, the situation was much better, and at least there was a stable point of possession.

To deal with Messi, Maritimo still adopts the tactics of a pack of wolves, one person can't prevent you, so he goes to a group of people, chases and intercepts, desperately entangled, and the ants bite the elephant to death!

This went on for another 30 minutes.

As the game entered the 70th minute, Barcelona finally collapsed.

Because they rely on Messi the most, their physical energy is exhausted.

Due to Maritimo's crazy high pressing, Messi's consumption in this game was greater, and he also entered a period of exhaustion faster than the previous game.

And the Maritimo people are like a tireless perpetual motion machine, still frantically pressing and oppressing.

Where do they get their physical abilities from? Are they really tireless?

In the 73rd minute, under Maritimo's crazy pressing, Alba cleared the siege in a hurry, but a ball was suffocated in Zhou Yong's chest.

Zhou Yong, who was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, fell to the ground in response, but the ball bounced at the feet of J Ronaldo.

J Luofu felt bursting to the heart, and hit the goal directly outside the penalty area, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

J Ronaldo scored twice and Maritimo doubled the score.

In the following game, Maritimo was still crazy about output, grabbing the Barcelona chicken and jumping dog.

The world is amazed at the physical strength of the Maritimo Youth Army.

You must know that as the side that takes the initiative to press, Maritimo pays more physical price than Barcelona.

As the game deepens, Messi's role has become less and less obvious, without physical support, no matter how good his skills are, he can't play it.

Like an angel with broken wings, falling into the mortal dust, the great Messi can only sigh the ruthlessness of the years. If you have the intention to kill the enemy, you can't return to the sky!

But this time he didn't ask to leave again.

Because he clearly knows that the gap between the two teams now, whether it is the state, strength or score, cannot be changed by one or two people.

His Champions League journey this season is coming to an end, and with such an opponent, his desire to hit the Champions League and Ballon d'Or again in the twilight of his career will eventually become a flash in the pan.

In that case, let yourself enjoy this last Champions League time!

At this stage, to this extent, Messi's mentality has completely changed, he has no power or intention to win again, all he can do is enjoy the process of the game.

As the race drew to the end, Maritimo's pressing and attacking became more and more frenzied.

In the 87th and 91st minutes, Maritimo scored two more goals by J Ronaldo and Wang Zi.

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick.

His wonderful performance made Florentino, who was specially invited to watch the match, ecstatic. Gao Yuan didn't lie to himself, sure enough, J

After playing in the Champions League, Ronaldo can appreciate again!

Gao Yuan, this young man is amazing!

In the future, we have to strengthen cooperation, otherwise, get him to Real Madrid, succeed Zinedine Zidane, and build a new galaxy battleship?!

Well, right! That's it!

However, he didn't know that there were many European giants with the same thoughts.

In the end, Maritimo won the opponent at home, defeated Barcelona 6-1 over two legs, and advanced to the last four of the Champions League.

In the post-match news interview, Sky Sports TV interviewed Messi.

Messi changed his decadence and anger after the defeat in the past, and unexpectedly accepted an interview with the TV station, and his attitude was incredibly calm, and even said a lot uncharacteristically:

"Regret? I have nothing to regret! I've won the Champions League a lot and I've won six Ballon d'Or. Originally, I really wanted to relive the old dream in the twilight of my career. But now the dream is shattered, but I'm happy because I was beaten by a strong youth team who have everything to be a great team. After the last game, the opponent's coach said a sentence that made me remember deeply, there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. I failed, but football itself won! ”
