Kiss your finger and point to the sky.

This is Messi's gratitude and remembrance to his grandmother.

But at the moment, he enjoys football even more.

It was definitely the best 65 minutes since Koeman took charge of Barcelona.

From the ball at the back to the small area of the front, this is a typical Barça pass-and-control attack.

And it was the tireless running of the Barcelona players that drove this attack.

The pass-and-control style of play with full attack and full defense has perfectly integrated the current Barcelona team, and Koeman's reform has finally paid off.

Marcelo fell to the ground and slid in the middle of the chase to disrupt Barca's inverted triangle pass.

But it's still a step too late.

He lay on the turf, covering his face with self-reproach.

Just like 3 years ago, he regretted not pulling down Roberto, which led to Real Madrid being killed by Messi in stoppage time.

Now, the same thing is happening again, and it is difficult for him to calm down.

"Vice, hurry up, it's time for us to attack!"

Rossi's voice reached his ears, causing Marcelo's body to tremble.

When he removed the hand that was blocking his face, he saw a large hand, reaching out to him.

With Rossi's help, Marcelo got back to his feet and took a few deep breaths to soothe his spirits.

"Team vice, that kind of cooperation, we can also play!"

When Marcelo heard this, he immediately understood.

"Then you'll have to run as hard as you can!"

You must know that in Barcelona's offensive cooperation just now, Messi sprinted nearly 40 meters before he got a chance to shoot.

"As long as you can give, I can run!"

Rosie said firmly.

"Then what are you still doing standing here, attacking!"

Marcelo patted Rossi's strong glutes and urged him to hurry up and get to the attacking position.

The game entered the 67th minute, Real Madrid temporarily fell behind 1:2, and Benzema stood in the center circle, ready to kick off.

Meanwhile, Isco and Asensio stood on the sidelines, ready to take on the pitch.

After getting permission from the referee, the fourth official raised his substitution card and showed it around.

22 up, 8 down.

20 up, 11 down.

With Kroos and Bale removed and replaced with two attacking players, Real Madrid have decided to go all out.

At this point, Coman had no idea of changing tactics.

Because Messi retreated to the tactics of the organization and helped the team score goals, he wanted to use this momentum to score another goal and kill the game.

It's the first thing any coach wants to do when he's in the lead.

The first thing Asensio did on the pitch was to convey Zidane's orders to his teammates.

The game resumes with Real Madrid kicking off.

Barcelona pressed aggressively in the frontcourt, forming a pressing group in the Real Madrid half and interfering with the ball.

After Toni Kroos went off the field, Real Madrid lacked a master of long pass transfer, and could only penetrate slowly through ground cooperation.

Passing and running is one of the team's must-practice events after Zidane took office.

Although sometimes Real Madrid's passing and running coordination is a bit chaotic, and even the aimless transmission of security is global.

But here,

Spanish Super Cup Final,

National Derby,

Real Madrid's passing and running cooperation played a good rhythm of possession.

Although Isco lacks Kroos' accurate backcourt passing, in today's tactical system, he can get rid of defense and feed his teammates, which is more suitable for the current Real Madrid.

Another important point is physical fitness.

Generally speaking, under the high-intensity pace of the two teams, the physical exertion should be comparable.

Even if Barcelona presses high and the physical consumption is too great.

Real Madrid, as the defender, also paid a considerable amount of movement in dealing with the pressing of the opponent.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the fitness of the Barcelona players is the first to decline.

This can be seen from the possession of both sides during this period.

It's been a long time since Barcelona had possession of the ball.

If there are fans who turn on the live broadcast and watch the game now, they will definitely think that Real Madrid's opponent, the team wearing the red and blue striped shirt, is the middle team of La Liga, Levante.

Real Madrid's non-stop passing also allowed Barcelona to unconsciously set the formation premise.

And what makes them angry is that the mortal enemy is playing against him in his own way.

This is a blatant provocation.

Just when the Barcelona players were in anger, Real Madrid, who had been leading the way at the back, suddenly picked up speed by Isco, shook his back, and passed a defender.

The confrontation between masters is a game of details.

Just one flaw in the formation is enough to kill.

The moment Isco got rid of the defense, Real Madrid had already completed 50% of Barcelona's high pressing tactics.

As for the remaining 50%, it will be left to Modric.

The Croatian midfielder, after receiving a pass from a teammate, first slammed his right foot to avoid De Jong's interception.

Then, with a coquettish outside instep, he passed the ball to the right side.

[Nice to get rid of the pass! ] 】

[Modric's sword is not old! 】

[Pass the ball to your teammates with the outside instep!] 】

[Barcelona has strengthened interceptions and runs! ] 】

[But strangely, they can't stop Real Madrid's long pass!] 】

[Even though Tony Kroos is no longer on the court!] 】

Benzema retreated to the side to get the ball, and Lenglet behind him had already posted it to prevent him from turning around.

After Barcelona's formation moved forward, the back line was as thin as a piece of paper, and Lenglet had to stop Real Madrid's counterattack at all costs even if he was fouled.

However, the French striker did not intend to fight him, but instead dribbled sideways and back.

He was watching, and he was waiting.

Seeing Asensio cutting forward at full speed, Benzema picked the ball up behind the defence.

[Pass beautifully, Real Madrid counterattacks! ] 】

[Asensio is rushing! ] 】

[Busquetzla can't even pull it! ] 】

[Rossi outflanks in the middle! ] 】

[Can this ball be passed?] 】

It was not difficult to hear from the tone of the on-site commentator that he wanted Asensio to play on his own instead of crossing in front of goal.

Because Araujo was desperately running towards this passing line.

Once the pass is broken, Real Madrid will lose a great chance to score.

Run, run hard!

Rosie, who had been silently reciting in his heart, rushed forward desperately with his fastest speed.

Thanks to Araujo's follow-up, Asensio's pass can be intercepted at any time.

So Rossi had to run a little faster to give his teammates a deeper pass point so that he wouldn't be ruined by Araujo.

Asensio was in the sprint at full throttle, looking up and thinking about the best way to handle the ball.

When he saw Rossi accelerate a little, he didn't hesitate and sent a shot with his right foot to the ball and flew towards the back of the goal.

Araujo was on the back for the ball, but the pass was too deep and the ball slipped through his toes despite his choice to break it down.

In order to chase the ball, Rossi took out his extreme speed and ran desperately, and finally got his chance.

But it's very difficult to shoot at full speed.

If you are not careful, you will face the embarrassing situation of kicking the air.

If the ball is stopped, then the Barcelona goalkeeper will come out, and there is no shooting angle.

Just as the ball was in front of Rossi, he took a step with his left foot and came to a stop, causing his center of gravity to tilt heavily to the left front, almost at a 45° angle to the turf.

The reason why he did this was to give his body a pause of a few tenths of a second, and then use the tip of his right foot to gently tap the bottom of the ball and pick it up.

After completing this pick, Rossi also lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Ter Schgent had expected Rossi to shoot low at high speeds, so after the attack, he fell straight to the ground to block the lateral defensive area as much as possible.

But Rossi's shot made the ball go above his body, drawing a wonderful arc and slowly falling into the goal.

【GOAL！！！！！ 】

[Rossi scores, Real Madrid equalizes! ] 】

[The pinnacle duel of the two ace superstars has scored two goals for their respective teams! ] 】

[Messi's unsolvable shot! ] 】

[Rossi's chic pick! ] 】

[Each has its own merits! 】

[This is a very rare sports battle goal for Rossi! 】

[When the body has lost its center of gravity, it still completes such a chic pick! ] 】

[The feeling of touching the ball between the millimeters is intoxicating! ] 】

[Where is this a business competition!] 】

[This is simply another showdown of the century! 】
