339 It's a war! Messi is angry, and the consequences are serious! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
Before the start of the 09/10 season in La Liga, two big things happened.
The first is the auction of the Premier League's domestic broadcast rights.
According to the characteristics of the Premier League, the three-year broadcast rights for the 10-13 season were originally planned to be auctioned in February 2009, but were later postponed to August 2009 for various reasons.
It was delayed for about half a year.
Since there is still plenty of time, it is not a big problem.
Long before the auction, the Premier League was confident that a new round of broadcasting rights revenue would be set again, and the key was how high it was.
Why was it postponed?
The Times revealed that the main thing is because of too many unfavorable factors.
On the one hand, it is facing the current competitive trend of La Liga and the Premier League.
From the current point of view, the globalization momentum of La Liga is becoming more and more fierce.
La Liga pre-season has become a regular competition, and every summer, La Liga teams are divided into 4 regions to go around the world for pre-season matches, and the gold content of the tournament has also been initially recognized by fans, media and sponsors.
For example, this year, Atletico Madrid's pre-season match in South Africa was in cooperation with the South African World Cup Organizing Committee, which caused a huge response in South Africa and the entire southern Sahara Desert.
This area has always been overlooked by the Premier League.
Nowadays, more and more African players are coming to La Liga, and players from Asia and North America are landing in La Liga, making La Liga more and more international.
Not only that, but Spain is also vigorously exporting its own excellent youth training.
Previously cooperated with Japan and South Korea, and now is actively preparing to cooperate with African countries in youth training, coupled with the introduction of players, these can further increase the influence of La Liga around the world.
It can be said that in the global competition, the Premier League has lagged behind La Liga.
Now, the only thing the Premier League can rely on is the huge domestic market.
In the popular parlance of the British media, the victory or defeat lies in this battle!
On the other hand, with the fluctuation of the pound exchange rate and the reform of the British tax system, the Premier League has seen a significant decline in player attractiveness, and La Liga has quickly caught up and replaced it.
This has formed a situation where the Premier League retreats and La Liga advances.
If the Premier League is to remain competitive, it will have to further improve the treatment of its players.
In a nutshell, a salary increase is imperative.
Chelsea offered £250,000 a week for Didier Drogba and Manchester United for Wayne Rooney, which is a prime example of this.
Then the question arises, where is the Premier League going to find money to improve the remuneration package of players in the context of slow global promotion?
The answer is obvious, it can only be relied on by the great England fans.
The Premier League, Sky Sports, Ireland's Setanta Sports and ESPN have been in talks on a number of occasions.
Finally, in late August, it was officially announced that in the new round of bidding, the local copyright was successfully sold for 2.9 billion pounds.
This is the craziest price ever set at 3.335 billion euros.
More than a billion euros a year, it's just insane.
Among them, Sky TV won the four most important live broadcast packages at a price of nearly 2.2 billion pounds.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.
No one thought that the Premier League would be able to sell at such a sky-high price in the domestic market.
The Times revealed the whole process of the auction.
In order to further increase the broadcast fee, the Premier League's auction was completed in a highly confidential manner, with companies such as Sky Sports and ESPN not even knowing who they were bidding against, nor how many competitors there were, all in the dark.
The purpose of this is to push the broadcasters to the maximum limit.
According to the analysis of the Times, Sky TV has 12 million pay-TV subscribers in England, and the monthly rent alone has reached more than 300 million pounds per month, and more than 3 billion pounds in a year.
As the core programme of Sky TV, the Premier League has always been their trump card.
This time, their willingness to pay a sky-high price for the Premier League is also enough to prove the importance of the Premier League to their business.
Premier League CEO Richard Skudmore said in an interview with the media that there is still a huge potential for the Premier League's rights to be explored, "Compared to other sporting events, the Premier League's broadcast rights are actually not expensive. ”
"Formula 1 cars spend more than 500 million euros a year, and the Premier League is the most crowded race in the world, and we don't even have a Christmas break throughout the year."
Skudmore revealed that after successfully selling the local rights for the next three years, the Premier League will start to increase its efforts to sell overseas rights in the next year.
"We are very confident that in the case of the rapid growth of the local copyright market, overseas copyright is bound to usher in a major breakthrough and create a new sky-high price!"
……
After the Premier League's rights auction came out, it quickly caused heated discussions in Spain.
Although the rights of La Liga are selling well, the local rights are too different from the Premier League, only about 2 billion euros.
There is a gap of more than a billion with the Premier League, and the gap is indeed too great.
There is a lot of discussion among the media and fans outside, and there are even many newspapers and fans who are calling for rectification and reform.
La Liga CEO Antonio Ponte also came forward to be interviewed by media reporters, first affirming the achievements of the Premier League, "We are working hard to learn from the advanced experience of the Premier League and further improve our copyright sales model." ”
But Antonio Ponte also reminded everyone that Spain's home market is not as large as that of the United Kingdom.
Whether it is the population, the number of pay TV subscribers, or even the development history of pay TV, it is not as good as the UK.
Most of Spain is still in the radio era.
That's the problem.
Moreover, this problem is not something that La Liga can solve, but it will take a long time and need all parties to jointly promote it, and with the further development and promotion of the Internet, broadband, mobile network and other services in the future, I believe that the development will be accelerated.
But Antonio Ponte is also hinting at a subtle hint that La Liga doesn't intend to go all out.
Yang Hao received a call from Cerezo, and when he came to the headquarters in the city center from Mahada Hongda for a meeting, Cerefzo also conveyed the meaning of La Liga in this regard.
"Sky does have 12 million subscribers, but Sky Sports has roughly 4 million to 5 million subscribers."
"According to Sky Sports after the rights were sold, they plan to increase the number of users to 7 million in the next three years, but we all know that this is actually a very difficult thing to do."
England's population is there, there are so many people, plus a lot of people go to the stadium to watch the game, and there are some low-income groups who have no spending power at all.
How many people are there, actually?
I'm afraid only Sky Sports knows about this.
In the past few years, their user base has passed a period of rapid growth.
But with so much money and such an expensive copyright, how can you settle this account?
In the end, there is only one answer.
"The monthly fee will go up!"
"La Liga has specially hired a third party to conduct research, and with the current economic situation in Spain, it is not suitable to raise prices again, so this road will not work, and there is no need to go."
"After the last five years of continuous improvement, La Liga clubs are generally in a good financial position, although several teams such as Valencia, Rayo Vallecano and Espanyol are in debt, but their business situation is also improving."
"There are also people like Barcelona, their debt pressure is also decreasing, and during Mourinho's tenure, although the style of play has been criticized, the overall situation of the team is still relatively stable, especially in terms of salary, which is well controlled."
What surprised Yang Hao was that under the pressure of the two giants, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, Barcelona's management did not have any contradictions, and Laporta and Rosell are still cooperating.
Cruyff also seems to have resigned himself to his fate, accepting the fact that Mourinho is in charge of Barcelona, that is, his column does not discuss Barca's style of football much, but more about the team's problems.
"Deportivo La Coruna started to turn profitable last season, Villarreal and Sevilla, needless to say, they are both profitable, which means that the overall financial situation of La Liga is very good and sustainable."
This reminded Yang Hao of the local copyright auction of the Premier League in his previous life.
According to his memory, the 10-13 season should have sold 1.95 billion pounds, and then jumped directly to 3.2 billion pounds in the 13-16 season, then 5.34 billion pounds in the 16-19 season.
This is definitely a very, very outrageous thing.
No matter how big the local market is, it can't be so big.
As early as Yang Hao's previous life, he has always had a doubt, how did he do such a big price increase every 3 years?
Obviously, it is impossible for broadcasters to do charity, they may have other ways, such as advertising and so on, but advertisers can't do charity either, and there will definitely be hard metrics like ratings, number of users.
The wool can't come out of the pig, everything must have a reason.
In the end, no matter how much you crown the Tang Emperor, no matter how much you talk about, it must have fallen on the price increase.
But it's also impossible for fans in the UK to accept price increases endlessly.
Therefore, in Yang Hao's previous life, after the copyright jumped from 16-19 to 22-25, the local copyright of the Premier League was always on the line of 5 billion pounds, and even declined slightly.
In these years, what has supported the Premier League to continue to go crazy is the sale of overseas rights.
But at the time, the Premier League was the dominant one.
But not anymore.
"La Liga's strategy is right, whether it is the domestic market or the overseas market, we must adopt a benign development approach to treat it, and we can't do everything we can."
"We must vigorously explore overseas markets, but we must also try our best to restrain ourselves, and at the same time increase our efforts to feed."
"For example, in the local market, we should continue to increase investment in youth training, increase the promotion of local tourism resources and cultural resources, and drive the development of the entire Spanish market."
"It's pretty much the same in overseas markets."
Yang Hao is becoming more and more deeply aware that the situation of developing to the Premier League in his previous life is actually really healthy?
On the one hand, the huge salary package pressured the Premier League to breathe, and it had to do some things that were exhausted, desperately swallowing the interests of all parties, and completely turned into a business machine.
And on the other hand?
The club is also miserable.
There is a lot of pressure on clubs in La Liga right now, it's more about football, it's on a competitive level.
In the business world, in fact, most clubs are quite nourishing.
Then the question is, how sustainable is the Premier League's model in the long run?
Every time there is a surge in broadcasting fees, it leads to a surge in player salaries and transfer fees, which in turn further forces clubs and the Premier League to squeeze more broadcast fees......
Somebody's going to have to pay for it, isn't it?
If in Yang Hao's previous life, there were overseas tyrants such as the Abu Dhabi consortium and the Saudi consortium to pay for the Premier League, then what about now?
Yang Hao is skeptical about this.
Especially when Cerezo said that the outside world initially estimated that the situation of overseas rights sales in the 10-13 season of the Premier League was not very optimistic, and the revenue was expected to be in the early 1 billion euros, Yang Hao was even more certain.
Without the support of overseas markets, how long can the Premier League last?
It's a war!
A protracted battle between La Liga and the Premier League!
……
On 27 August, at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monaco, the annual draw for the Champions League group stage kicked off.
UEFA President Michel Platini personally called Yang Hao, and the official also sent invitations several times, but no one from Atletico Madrid attended, even including Thiago Silva, who will win the Defender of the Year, and Messi, who will win the Striker of the Year, were absent from the award ceremony and the draw ceremony.
Since Atletico Madrid were blackmailed from the Champions League last season, the relationship between the Sheets and Platini has become very bad.
Although it was later relieved, everyone knows that the two sides are at odds with each other.
Even, not only Atletico Madrid, but the whole of Spain is very unhappy with Platini and UEFA.
But Real Madrid's players were present at the award ceremony.
Because they're going to the UEFA Super Cup.
Goalkeeper of the Year went to Iker Casillas, Defender of the Year went to Thiago Silva, Midfielder of the Year went to Andrea Pirlo and Striker of the Year went to Champions League Golden Boot winner Lionel Messi.
And the most important player of the year is Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid.
As the vane of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo has also become the number one favorite after this award ceremony.
Messi has scored more goals in the league and the Champions League, and his performance is actually better, but the La Liga title is still less than the Champions League.
Moreover, Real Madrid is now working at full speed to promote and build momentum for Ronaldo.
Atletico Madrid are also building momentum on Messi.
Whoever wins the award will be controversial, but there are plenty of reasons.
This year's Champions League group stage draw is very different from previous years.
That is, there is no such thing as a group of death.
Among the teams in the third pot, the stronger ones are Fiorentina, Stuttgart, Marseille and Bordeaux.
But everyone can see that these teams have the strength to disrupt the situation, but to challenge the traditional giants, they are still somewhat weaker.
And in the fourth pot, the only strong team is Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.
But Wolfsburg took a dip in strength after selling Dzeko to Valencia.
Atletico only arranged for press and public relations director Andrew Barrasco to be present at the draw ceremony.
This should be regarded as the most normal signing of the Sheet Corps in recent years.
Atletico drew Lyon in Ligue 1, Fiorentina in Serie A and Debrezen AVE in Hungary.
This is actually Platini's masterpiece.
Since Platini took office, he has begun to increase his support for small and medium-sized countries in the Champions League, the most typical being that since the 09/10 season, the Champions League qualifiers have changed from the original 3 rounds to 4 rounds.
The first round of qualifiers starts directly on July 1.
The additional number of matches is all for teams from small and medium-sized countries.
Another very obvious difference is that since the 07/08 season, that is, after Platini was elected, there will be some ...... in the fourth pot of the Champions League group stage every year
How so?
The team that obviously failed to reach this level, but always happened to be lucky enough to draw lots and make it to the group stage.
For example, Atletico drew Hungary's Debrezen AVE.
How did they make it to the fourth round?
Because the opponent they met was Sofia Levsky of Bulgaria.
So how did Zurich, Switzerland, qualify?
They met a Latvian team whose name Yang Hao couldn't even name.
What about the Maccabi in Haifa in Israel?
They ran into Salzburg, Austria.
That seems normal, right?
Then check out a few more matchups.
Celtic in the Soviet Super League meet Arsenal in the Premier League.
Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League meets Fiorentina in Serie A.
Valencia in La Liga meets Greece's Panathinekos.
Ligue 1's Lyon meet Belgian side Anderlecht.
Is this a coincidence?
Actually, it's not.
Everyone in the circle knows that there are always a few teams that are guaranteed to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League every season.
And everyone knows what it means to be in the group stage.
Many people know in their hearts what is going on, but that's how the game is played.
Unless, you can get to the table.
It's not just La Liga, it's leagues across Western Europe that are very unhappy with it.
The reason is, should Platini take care of those who are vulnerable?
Should!
Football has always been pyramid-shaped, but the foundation is very important, and countries with weak football really deserve support and support.
But not in the interest of the Western European League!
You UEFA takes so much money from the Champions League every year, and you keep saying that you support weak countries, so why do you use your own money to support, why do you use this way to sacrifice the interests of the teams in the Western European leagues to fulfill your own reputation?
Besides, who decides which of these teams from football-weak countries can score and which ones can't?
On what basis?
To put it mildly, you're being generous to others.
On the other hand, these teams that enter the European group stage are actually dragging down the gold content of the Champions League and affecting the schedules of other teams in the Champions League group stage.
For example, Israel's Maccabi in Haifa.
If you draw this team, you have to fly long distances to the Middle East, play a game and fly back.
If they really have the strength, then that's it, the question is, do they have it?
From the beginning of August, after the third round of qualifiers was played, and the results of the fourth round of the draw came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Platini has openly stated that he wants to improve the chances of the small country team in the Champions League, but this time he did it too obviously.
As Yang Hao said before, after defeating the G14 and covering the sky with one hand in UEFA, Platini did not take other opponents seriously, and he has the ambition to enter the FIFA headquarters in Zurich.
Without anyone knowing, not even the media, several teams in La Liga, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal, Deportivo La Coruna and Espanyol ......
The leaders of the eight teams that have participated in European competition this season quietly met in Marbella in southern Spain.
Although the civil war in La Liga is very tragic today, it is very united externally and has the same interests.
The eight core executives, including Cerezo, Florentino, Laporta and Mubarak, have all made it clear that they want to work together to protect the overall interests of La Liga.
Florentino and Cerezo will come out separately to communicate with the big teams in other leagues and try to unite more clubs.
The reason why Laporta is not considered is mainly because Barcelona has gone a little too far in the collapse of the G14 before.
But this time, everyone agreed that UEFA's intractable situation must be broken.
It is necessary for the big five leagues to reconstitute a club league similar to the G14 to compete with UEFA.
Let's start with these teams in La Liga!
But all of this is going on in secret.
At Atletico Madrid, no one knows about it except Yang Hao, Cerezo, Junior Hill and the three core department heads.
I believe that this is also the case with clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
It's a war!
War between the club and UEFA!
……
August 29th.
The 09/10 season of La Liga officially ignited the fire.
The opening match was played at the Camp Nou in Barcelona against Barcelona and Sporting Gijón.
As soon as the game started, Barcelona played a home advantage, directly suppressed Sporting Gijón, and constantly launched an offensive.
In the 17th minute, Robben received a pass from Van der Vaart on the right side of the penalty area, burst into the right side of the penalty area, and hit the goal with his left foot, opening the scoring for Barcelona!
Towards the end of the first half, Peter Pan cut inside on the right flank and assisted Van der Vaart for the second goal to give Barcelona a 2-0 lead to end the first half.
Subsequently, the game completely entered Barcelona's dominance time, and Sporting Gijón could only be beaten passively.
It wasn't until the 82nd minute of the second half that Robben broke through with the ball and provided an assist, and Diego Milito scored his third goal.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Sporting Gijón 3-0 at home and won the first game of the new season.
Barcelona also temporarily climbed to the top of the La Liga standings with this victory.
……
The next day, the first round of La Liga ushered in the second matchday.
The first match of the afternoon was Atletico Madrid's away game at the Rose Garden, away to Malaga.
This is a duel that was regarded by countless people as a disparity between strength and weakness before the game, but when it came to the game, everyone found out that the team that seized the initiative in the game after the opening was actually Malaga.
In the first 7 minutes or so, the only time Atletico Madrid entered the Malaga penalty area was when the Malaga defender returned the pass, and Torres chased all the way to the front of the small penalty area, forcing the opposing goalkeeper to kick directly.
But Malaga has scored into Atletico's big penalty area several times in a row.
Although they failed to pose a threat, they still had a slight advantage on the field.
This delighted the 30,000 Malaga fans at the Rose Garden Stadium.
The home team is pressing Atletico Madrid to play.
Yang Hao stood on the sidelines, unmoved, and Atletico Madrid's players also played very patiently.
In this game, the Sheets Army still adopted 433 tactics.
The main reason is that the first round of the new season is always not very good, and the players have not yet entered the rhythm and form.
In addition, Malaga was really fierce after the opening, and it was a bit of a feeling of sparing physical strength.
This is not surprising either.
The first round of the new season is the time when they are most physical and have the best running ability.
The Sheets Corps patiently waited for the opportunity.
It wasn't until around the 15th minute that Atletico began to control the tempo of the game.
Messi, who plays as a right winger, is also starting to get more opportunities to get the ball and face the defence directly, which has put pressure on Málaga.
Especially in the 19th minute, Messi suddenly was on the right side of the front of the penalty area, after receiving Kaka's pass, he started with the ball, and from the bag of two defenders, he burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, and suddenly accelerated and shook off the opponent's central defender.
This kind of tight defense in the start of the emergency stop and change of speed has always been Messi's forte.
However, the Argentine's breakthrough with the ball was sandwiched by the opponent's four defenders from front to back, left and right, forcing Messi to bring the ball to the vicinity of the small penalty area, and goalkeeper Munua attacked and confiscated the ball directly.
Messi was so angry that he complained to the referee, thinking that the defenders had fouled the action, mainly because there were too many small actions.
But the referee signaled the game to continue.
However, this foul also completely aroused Messi's anger.
Only 2 minutes later, Messi had a two-by-one collision with Alves on the right side, facing Alves's return pass, Messi took advantage of the situation to pierce the crotch, directly stabbed the ball through the crotch of the defender, and burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball and hit the goal with his feet.
But the shot was blocked by a defender.
With the active performance of Messi's side, Atletico Madrid's left side has also begun to get frequent opportunities.
Iniesta suddenly started when receiving a pass from David Silva, drove straight with the ball, got rid of the defender, rushed to the edge of the penalty area, and completed a one-two with Torres on his back, and volleyed with his right foot on the left side of the arc of the penalty area.
The shot was tricky, but it slid out slightly.
It was also Atletico's most dangerous shot since the opening kick-off.
Yang Hao applauded Iniesta vigorously on the sidelines.
But there was no rush at all.
Judging from the situation after the opening, although Malaga is still mainly defensive and counter-attacking, it is not conservative.
They still hope to contain Atletico's attack by running and pressing at all costs, and they are also actively looking for opportunities to counter-attack.
This style of play is actually very aggressive against Atletico Madrid.
The Sheets started in the 25th minute, and gradually slowed down the pace of the attack and began to adjust slowly.
Atletico's strategy is to keep the pressure of the attack there, wait patiently and prepare for the opportunity.
It wasn't until the 35th minute, when Malaga finally started to slow down, that Atletico pressed again.
Just two minutes later, one of the most threatening attacks of the first half took place.
After a series of passes from the left, David Silva dropped back to the left flank, met Patrice Evra's pass, and turned to deliver a behind-the-back ball.
Torres quickly cut diagonally from the top of the arc to the left of the penalty spot, and when he received David Silva's pass, he fired a fierce shot that was saved by goalkeeper Munua.
Torres caught up and shot again.
As a result, the left foot was not well played, and the ball hit the left side-netting.
The audience was full of exclamations for the rest of their lives!
"In the first round of the new season, it is clear that the Atletico players have not adjusted to their best condition."
"Torres got up a few times tonight and it didn't work very well."
But in the 41st minute, Atletico Madrid's continuous horizontal pass on the periphery of the penalty area, Messi turned his back to the attack direction on the right rib, suddenly stopped the ball with his left foot and turned around, and sent a pick pass.
The Argentine's back is like having eyes, and when he turns around, he doesn't even look at it, and he picks it directly.
The ball was picked by Messi across the back line and dropped near the penalty spot.
Torres cut in quickly, chested the ball, tilted his body and volleyed the ball with his right foot into the Malaga goal.
……
Heading into the break with a 1-0 lead, the Atletico players were not happy with the first half in the dressing room.
Malaga is not as strong as Atletico Madrid.
But in the first half, the home team relied on running at the expense of physical strength to play with Atletico Madrid.
Moreover, they have quite a lot of fouls.
It's just that they are all more in control of the action, and there is only one yellow card.
In the first round of the league, it will be two weeks of national team matches, so it is not too much to be raised, and the team is still in accordance with the tactics of the first half, playing steadily and winning.
Messi made his own request.
"Give me more passes in the second half!" Messi said aloud.
"I'm going to break down their defences and break their goals!"
Yang Hao was stunned, in his impression, Messi has always been the role of a good baby, but now, he actually took the initiative to ask for the ball.
Not only him, but everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes were a little unfamiliar when they looked at Messi.
But Yang Hao was the first to react.
That's a good thing!
As early as the middle of last season, Yang Hao mentioned to Messi that he hoped that he could take on more burdens, and even put forward requirements for his teammates around him to create a tactical environment that was more suitable for him to play.
Now it seems that Messi is clearly gradually entering the role.
Moreover, Messi has been training consistently this summer.
He hired a personal trainer to train on himself, and he also worked exceptionally hard during the team's summer training camp in the hope of getting in better shape for the new season.
He wants to go for the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year!
At the same time, he also wants to help Atletico win more titles!
Messi's personality makes him very popular in the Atletico dressing room, and when he makes such a request, everyone knows that he is really angry.
Messi is angry, and the consequences are serious!
……
In the second half, it was easy to play again.
Atletico Madrid, who kicked off, took the initiative, and Malaga quickly went on alert.
Messi was particularly active from the start, frequently picking up the ball on the right side and in the ribs.
Just 2 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid's attack in front of the field, after being tackled by Malaga, quickly hit a counterattack.
However, Alves and Pepe were on the right side of the box and joined forces to intercept.
Málaga barely managed to get the ball into the box, but Neuer broke away and slotted it out of the air.
After the German goalkeeper got the ball, he quickly threw the ball with one hand and threw it to Evra on the left.
Patrice Evra dribbled the ball along the left side and before he could cross the halfway line when he was blocked.
Xavi Alonso received the ball, stopped the ball and turned to the right to send a long diagonal pass to the right side of the pitch.
Messi had his back to the right touchline, faced Xavi Alonso's long pass, jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest past Manu Torres, before his feet even touched the ball.
After unloading the ball, Messi started from the right side with the ball, ran long along a diagonal line, and took the goal from the right corner of the penalty area.
When Messi burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball, the back and central defenders of Malaga attacked Messi at the same time.
But the Argentines are bold and unmoved.
I saw that Messi's right shoulder sank slightly, and after stepping out with his right foot, supporting the center of gravity of his body, he deceived the center of gravity of central defender Wiligdon, and in the case of high-speed sprinting and running, his left foot lightly touched the side of the football close to his body.
As soon as the ball came under the slightest force, it immediately changed direction and avoided Wiligdon's foot.
And at this moment, something happened that made countless people shout that the impossible.
In a very short period of time, Messi's left foot just touched the right side of the football from this side, and when the football changed direction, his left foot did not even hit the ground, and directly probed to the left side of the football and blocked the ball back.
This block just allowed the football to avoid the defender Juanito who returned to the defense.
It's all left-footed, in a very short period of time, two consecutive touches of the ball, and it is done at the high speed of the sprint and the high speed of the football, which is simply incredible.
After the ball was blocked, Messi stood firm with his left foot and hit with his right foot.
The ball drilled into Malaga's goal with great speed.
Dragon!
Three people in a row!
The whole Rose Garden Course was completely shocked!
Not to mention the players in the stands, even goalkeeper Munua didn't have time to react.
No one thought that Messi would score goals in such a way and with such miraculous skill.
Yang Hao was on the sidelines, and he didn't even see what was going on before he found that the ball had gone in.
"The ball is in!!"
"Messi!"
"In the 48th minute of the second half, Messi beat three defenders in a row and used a wonderful personal breakthrough to get another goal for Atletico Madrid, 2-0!"
"My God, this is incredible!"
"We had to replay Messi's whole goal at low speed."
"Look at this time, he chested the ball right past Malaga defender Manu Torres, and the long run that followed looked like Messi, but it was still within the normal range of human understanding."
"But the next step is to see Messi's performance."
"Through 0.25x slow motion, we can see Messi's entire movement clearly, with his left foot touching the ball twice in a row in just 0.5 seconds, changing the direction of the ball twice, and successfully breaking through Wiligleton and Juanito."
"After that, this volley with the right foot was also very crisp and clean."
"It was definitely a really explosive goal!"
"There was absolutely no one at the scene who could see what was going on, but everyone could feel the shock deeply!"
"I have to say that this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and even, so far, we don't seem to see a second person other than Messi who can do it."
"He's just so fast, so fast."
"0.5 seconds, 2 touches of the ball, and it's done with the whole person sprinting at high speed and the football running at high speed, it's just unbelievable, completely defying physics!"
"Who would dare to believe that such a thing would happen if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?"
……
Messi's goal brought an unparalleled impact to both sides.
Especially for Malaga.
When the players in Malaga realized that they were going to fight against such an "alien" who was completely uncontrolled by the laws of physics, they felt so desperate.
Messi didn't plan to let Malaga go like this.
He's been working hard this season to prove himself and help Atletico succeed at the same time.
So, he quickly created another chance.
In the 59th minute, it was Messi who broke through with the ball on the right side, and when he cut horizontally, he sent a direct pass.
Kaka cut in and sent a precise diagonal pass from the edge of the box on the right side of the arc.
The ball hit the edge of the six-yard box on the left-hand corner and David Silva slapped in to meet Kaka's diagonal cross and slotted the ball into the close-range goal.
3 to 0!
And in the 74th minute, it was Alves' pass, and Messi picked up the ball on the right flank, attracting Manu Torres' attention.
The card is quickly inserted forward.
The two had a tacit understanding.
Messi quickly dribbled diagonally into the box in an attempt to force Manu Torres.
The Malaga defenders were choked by Messi tonight, especially in the second half, and had to retreat.
Messi suddenly split the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and he quickly cut in diagonally.
Kaka quickly cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area from the right side of the edge of the penalty area, caught up with Messi's pass, and then crossed back without stopping.
At this time, Messi just happened to arrive with a horse, met Kaka's pass, and gently pushed with his left foot.
The ball drilled into the Malaga goal with great speed.
Goalkeeper Munua can't do anything about it at all!
4 to 0!
Brace!
After Messi scored, he rushed to Kaka excitedly, and the two hugged on the sidelines.
Subsequently, Messi became more and more courageous.
Yang Hao also knows his beloved apprentice very well, and when he made successive substitutions, he did not replace Messi off the field, but let the Argentine continue to stay on the field.
Messi first missed the chance to score a hat-trick with a direct free-kick that hit the left-hand post.
He then fired a curling shot from the left side of the box that almost opened the scoring.
Until the end of the game, Iniesta launched an attack from the left flank, turned to the middle, and completed a wonderful cooperation with Messi in the middle.
With a distance of 15 meters, the two completed a beautiful long-distance wall-hitting cooperation.
Andres Iniesta sent the ball to the right of the penalty spot, and Messi formed a one-on-one and fired a low left-footed shot into the Malaga goal again.
The physical movement after the opening kick-off, as well as the painful blows after conceding consecutive goals, made the players in Malaga a little lacking in interest in the closing stages of the game.
And Messi scored a hat-trick!
Atletico beat Malaga 5-0 away!
Obviously, Messi is going to do a big job in the new season!
