Chapter 210: Messi's Confidence and Contempt
"I've got to win."
"I support Messi."
"It's just me who doesn't want to win the championship with Ya Sun?"
"No, and me, Yasu really doesn't dare to compliment this ball."
"Isn't Yasu's ball exactly DNA?"
"Down with Bagou, I support the pharmaceutical company."
…
Before the game, fans left messages in the major live chat rooms.
In the eager and expectant eyes of fans, the live broadcast screen finally has a signal.
It started with a short pre-match performance, followed by a final ambassador and former German goalscorer Ridder with the Big Ears Cup.
As for the players of both teams, they waited patiently in the players' tunnel.
In the stands of the fans, the fans of the pharmaceutical factory and the fans of Barcelona sat opposite each other.
Among them, Barcelona fans spelled "Mes que un club" (not only a club) in the stands, and two giant hands showed two giant hands in the stands on the side of the pharmaceutical fans, holding the Champions League trophy in their arms.
It can be seen from the performance of the fans on both sides that the Barcelona fans are extremely confident, and they don't even mention winning the championship, after all, Barcelona's last three Champions League finals have all won, and this time, it will be no exception.
On the side of the pharmaceutical fans, it fully demonstrated the desire for the championship. Although the team is not favored, they still believe that Jose, who has set the record for the fewest goals conceded in the season, will also lead the team to the final victory.
Of course, in addition to the fans of both sides, there are also a large number of neutral fans mixed in, and they all come to watch the performances of the two teams with the mentality of watching the show.
As for which side wins? They don't care.
Historically, this was the first time the Champions League final was held in June, and the temperature reached 26 degrees Celsius, adding a roar of fire to the atmosphere.
José prefers to play in the winter rather than in the hot weather.
As the time came, the referee Chakir led the assistant referee and prepared to walk out of the field.
Behind them, naturally, is the focus of the game.
Under the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides also walked slowly onto the pitch.
Messi and Neymar seem confident and unusually calm.
However, the players of the Bayer Leverkusen team all showed a hint of excitement and nervousness on their faces.
The moment Joseta scored the field, the system released the final match task on time.
In terms of quest rewards, Jose doesn't need to look at them too much, and he knows what is included, the only thing that matters to him is the Golden Chest reward.
"The Champions League final, I'm here."
If Jose is not excited at all, it is impossible, but when the passionate "Champions League song" sounded, Jose's mood slowly calmed down.
Football requires passion, but it also requires composure and calmness.
From the moment José decided to become a goalkeeper, the passion was already far away from him.
The goalkeeper and other players in other positions, that is, the goalkeeper must not allow mistakes, and every mistake of the goalkeeper will be fatal and irreparable.
At the end of the song, the players of both sides shook hands to signal friendship first and game second.
When Jose shook hands with Messi, he looked down at the superstar in front of him and said to himself: "Is this kid the defender and goalkeeper all over the world scared?" ”
Messi's feeling to Jose is completely different from the feeling Ronaldo gives Jose.
Ronaldo's eyes always reveal a strong fighting spirit, which makes people uncontrollably arouse the desire to fight.
And Messi, like a humble gentleman, does not feel any threat, but Jose knows in his heart that the more this happens, the more dangerous it is.
Jose and Messi did not have any verbal communication, and the palms of both sides were also touched.
Jose can feel the confidence and indifference in Messi's heart.
In Messi's mind, there is no goal in this world that cannot be broken, let alone a goalkeeper who can save all shots all the time.
Messi's confidence and contempt made Jose feel very unhappy, and a fighting spirit rose from the bottom of his heart: "From today on, I will stand on the wall of sighs in your hearts." José swore in his heart as a terrifying aura emanated from him.
After a simple handshake ceremony, the captains of both sides walked towards the referee.
It's time to draw lots to choose the venue.
As a result of the draw, Bayer Leverkusen got the first chance to kick off.
With the referee's whistle, the most important game of the season began.
Kiessling tees off and passes back to Calhanoglu.
Calhanoglu advanced with the ball slightly, and when Buzques intercepted, he could only choose to pass the ball to the wing.
Wendell takes the ball and goes straight to the left side of the opposition penalty area.
With Alves' interception, Wendell had no room for a cross.
Son Heung-chou came to pick up, got the ball, and then quickly cut inside to hit the goal.
It's a pity that it missed.
Bayer Leverkusen immediately gave the opposition a dismissal after the opening.
It is precisely this dismount that makes the original contemptuous hearts of the Barcelona players have a trace of seriousness.
…
After the first wave of attacks failed, Bayer Leverkusen's players all began to retreat.
"Thanks to Pep Guardiola, the Bayer Leverkusen team can experience Barcelona's passing tactics in advance." In the live broadcast room, Mr. Zhan said.
"It can't be said that Pep Guardiola leaked Barcelona's tactics, any team in the world faces Barcelona, and a steady counterattack is the best solution." Zhang said the guidance interface.
"Yes, this group of Barcelona players, who have played together since the youth team, are very familiar with each other's habits, as soon as someone moves, everyone else knows what he is going to do." Teacher Zhan sighed.
Indeed, Barcelona's passing and receiving cooperation is obviously higher than that of Guardiola's Bayern, and it is no wonder that some fans refute that Bayern's players cannot play Guardiola's tactics.
In the 3rd minute, Barcelona played a wave of fast attack.
Messi's diagonal pass from midfield is transferred.
Alba took the ball down the left and tapped it to Neymar.
Neymar had the ball and Hilbert and Castro intercepted it.
However, the interception was not effective, and Neymar still completed the pass.
Iniesta, who cut forward, received a pass from Neymar and crossed with the outside of his foot on the left outside the box.
After a series of passes from Barcelona, Leverkusen's defense has long been full of holes.
10 yards in front of the goal, the unmarked Rakitic received a pass from Xiaobai and directly pushed the goal with his left foot.
The ball flew towards the right side of the goal.
At this time, the game was just 203 seconds old.
In order to block Neymar and Xiaobai, Jose was still on the left side of the goal.
Under normal circumstances, Rakitic's shot would have produced a goal that would go down in history, the third fastest goal in the Champions League final.
It's just that they met José who was hanging.
Without any hesitation, Jose decisively used the first plug-in of the game.
Just as the Barcelona fans were about to celebrate, Jose's figure swayed, lunged towards the left side of the goal with incredible speed, and then firmly denied Rakitic's shot with both hands.
"How is that possible?"
Everyone on the Barcelona side couldn't believe that Jose had an incredible reaction to dismiss Rakitic's shot directly.
Barcelona's attack, in order to pull the defense of the Leverkusen team, went through 16 passes, and they did pull the defense of the Leverkusen team out of a big hole.
However, the result was that Jose single-handedly made Barcelona's efforts come to naught.
Before the start of the game, it was not that the Barcelona players had not heard about the rumors of Jose, but they scoffed at them.
Now it seems that the rumors are true, and José's reaction speed is even more terrifying than the rumors.
Looking at the ball in Jose's hand, Rakitic could only withdraw from the penalty area unwillingly.
…
"Steady, come on."
Jose shouted as he gestured for his teammates to be pressed out.
At this time, the momentum must not be weak.
After everyone had withdrawn from the penalty area, Jose kicked the ball in goal.
Against a team like Barcelona, passing is tantamount to a goalkeeper, so Jose has only one option, which is to send the ball to the opponent's half as much as possible.
Bayer Leverkusen's players may not be able to match their opponents' skills at their feet, but their fighting awareness and enthusiasm are completely superior to their opponents.
As time went on, Bayer Leverkusen slowly gained a foothold.
Although Barcelona still controlled possession, Leverkusen's active scrambling also made Messi feel uncomfortable.
In the 8th minute, Barcelona hit again.
Neymar's cross from the left flank hit Hilbert's left hand just outside the box.
The referee did not stop the game, but gave Barcelona an offensive advantage.
Some Barcelona fans were unhappy with the referee's decision, unaware that for a team like Barcelona, ensuring a smooth rhythm is far more important than a free-kick opportunity.
Neymar's cross is met by Suarez.
In the face of Spašić's interception, Suarez easily slid past the opponent and then got up to hit the goal.
Unfortunately, it was slow, and when Suarez dunked Sparšić, Jose was ready to make a save.
In the end, Jose easily confiscated the opponent's shot.
Before the game, Jose set a policy for himself, which is to do everything possible to confiscate the opponent's shot directly.
When necessary, even if you use a plug-in, you must not let the opponent have a chance to make up for the second time.
For Suarez, it is not the first time José has faced him.
It can be said that Suarez is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, and he must not be measured by normal morality.
So, when Suarez was not close to the penalty area, Jose began to pay attention to his every move.
After more than 10 minutes of observation, Jose had a preliminary understanding of the players of this team.
Messi can't let go.
Wendell, Bender, and even Toprak couldn't stop the opposition from dribbling and passing.
The only thing the Bayer Leverkusen player can do is cut off from the rest of the world as much as possible.
As for Neymar, it is naturally justified to be called the third person under Melo.
From the perspective of personal ability, Neymar is definitely the top three in the world, and his ball sense is even above Messi, but he is too fancy with the ball, which gives Jose more time to prepare.
As for Barcelona's three midfielders, they may all be slow, but their excellent dribbling ability, coupled with their familiar passing combinations, is simply not something that the current Bayer Leverkusen team can compete with.
It is almost impossible for Bayer Leverkusen to play into the opponent's box through the midfield combination.
