Chapter 98: God Favors Only Those Who Never Give Up!

There was a lively atmosphere in the visitors' dressing room, with Liag yelling and high-fives with each team-mate, MiG telling his team-mates about his "greatness", and Zukulini drooling how he blocked Iniesta's low shot......

Li Chuanqi wiped the sweat on his forehead while looking at his teammates happily.

They're sharing the joy......

Li Chuanqi nodded, it must be so.

If there is wine, they will definitely toast proudly and then say their "great deeds".

As captain, Pablo was one of the calmest men, and he shouted loudly, "Brothers! Brothers! Be quiet! Be quiet! ”

The sound in the locker room was quiet, and the captain had the highest authority in the dressing room.

'The first half was over, we did a great job, everyone gave their best, did what they had to do and played their best!'

The captain briefly summed up the situation in the first half and pushed coach Antonio to the forefront: "The first half was perfect, but the game is not over yet, now ask the coach to arrange the tactics for us in the second half!" ”

Amid applause, Antonio walked to the middle and carefully drew on the tactical board a few times.

"Here!"

Pointing to the edge of the box, he said: "It's the most important place for us to defend, but in the first half they got four shots here. ”

Several defenders nodded slightly, remembering that Iniesta had two shots on goal here.

"The most important thing in this region is to limit Iniesta's play."

Antonio continued: "In the absence of Xavi and Messi, he is the engine of Barcelona's attack, and restricting his play will stifle half of Barcelona's offensive firepower. ”

……

The atmosphere in the home dressing room was a little dreary, with Messi and Xavi sitting with their team-mates and listening to Pep Guardiola's analysis: "The attack is a little more patient, we don't need to be in a flash, what we need is to keep the football under our feet at all times. ”

He looked up at his players: "But after being down by one goal, we were too impatient and wanted to create chances as soon as possible, which is not right! ”

After analyzing the offense, he began to analyze the defense: "Assist defense! The goal conceded in the first half was because the help defense was not in place! ”

Captain Puyol took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself: "It's my responsibility. ”

"I didn't think I needed to help," he explained. ”

yes, against a D League striker, do you need to help defend?

That's what every Barcelona player thought at the time.

Pep Guardiola did not dwell on this: "After the opponent's No. 17 picks up the ball, he has to pay attention to the help defense in the second half because he is very fast. ”

He continued: "Also pay attention to their number nine, which is the Real Madrid academy that came out. ”

Pep Guardiola did not have a passionate motivation for the players, because in his opinion, against a D-level team does not need encouragement, the players will definitely fight hard in the second half.

He knows the players don't want to lose to a D team at Camp Nou.

……

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, players from both sides walked out of the locker room and returned to the field.

The atmosphere at Camp Nou was once again lively, with supporters of Santa Malaga giving the warmest applause.

"Tick! ……”

With the referee's whistle, the second half began.

Santa Malaga were resolute in their first-half tactics, stockpiling heavily in central midfield.

Barcelona, who controlled the ball, moved forward unhurriedly according to the deployment of Guardiola's midfield, firmly controlling the football at their feet.

Santa Málaga patiently maneuvered with each other, knowing that under this calm, a violent and fatal blow could come at any moment.

In the eighth minute of the first half, under the command of Iniesta, Barcelona suddenly picked up speed and played a series of beautiful one-twos in the middle.

Nessa crosses diagonally from outside the box and the ball goes behind centre-back Baris Addo!

Substitute striker arrives with Sax!

The Barcelona Sport commentator exclaimed: "Chance!

Iniesta Legend!

Single Knife!

Isaac confronts the opposing striker directly! ”

The Málaga TV commentator exclaimed: "Danger! ”

The atmosphere at the Camp Nou suddenly became tense, as if a storm was brewing.

In the San Malaga penalty area, Isaac faced the attacking MiG, took a big step forward with his left foot, stepped on the left side of the football, and pushed it with his right foot!

The air at Camp Nou froze.

The soccer ball flew through MiG's right foot like an arrow!

The Barcelona fans stood up excitedly and raised their hands......

Immediately after, the football grazed the post and slid out of the door!

"Nope! ……”

The Barcelona fans wailed.

Isaac looked at the football flying out of the stadium in disbelief, and lost it with a single knife?!

Pep Guardiola walked from the bench to the command area and shouted encouragement to his players, signaling them not to care about the ball.

Seven minutes later, Barcelona were back in the picture, this time opening the gap from the right, Alves crossed the middle, and Cesc Fabregas snuggled up Baris Addo to grab the spot!

Barcelona fans once again saw hope of an equaliser.

However, reality disappointed them once again, Cesc Fabregas's push went wide of the goal!

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Barcelona had another chance to open the scoring, and Cesc Fabregas's clever pass from outside the box pierced the Santa Malaga defence.

Back Keita plugged in the back row to form a single knife trend!

Under the gaze of more than 50,000 spectators, Keita calmly deducted the attacking MiG and pushed it with one kick!

Football goes towards the empty goal!

Damn, this time it should be fine, right......

As soon as the thought of Barcelona fans came to mind, they despaired.

Barris Addo's center of gravity dropped, and he made a flying tackle to shovel the football out of the bottom line!

Two single-handed......

Barcelona fans' hearts are dripping blood, two single goals have not been scored, God, why?

"San Malaga!"

"San Malaga!"

"San Malaga!"

Santa Málaga supporters from all over the country roared.

They are going to use their roars to save the little hearts that are about to break.

The Málaga TV commentator shouted: "This is the resilient Santa Malaga!"

Baris Addo almost shoveled the must-score goal out of the line of goal!

God only favors those who persevere!

Lady Luck only favors those who never give up! ”

Pep Guardiola stared at the pitch dumbfounded, then covered his mouth.

The two single-handedly failed to score, which cast a shadow on the hearts of the Barcelona players.

However, that didn't leave them at a loss as they quickly regained control of the ball at their feet and launched another attack on Santa Málaga.

In the 28th minute of the second half, Barcelona got a direct free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area, and Iniesta's free kick went over the crossbar!

Four minutes later, Cesc Fabregas fired a shot into the top left corner of the penalty area, the ball went past the soaring MiG, and then smashed it the crossbar and bounced off the line!
