Yang Feng soon faced the real test.
Messi successfully passed Van Dijk in a one-on-one confrontation and was about to enter the penalty area. Van Dijk had no choice but to pull behind his back, pulling Messi to the ground.
There is a saying. The person who can knock down Messi in a one-on-one these days is considered to be the best in the world. Although Van Dijk is tall and powerful, he is not bloated at all, and his movements are not as flexible as a big man. He can defend Sterling. When you are a happy baby like that, it's like an adult bullying a child, but when facing Messi, you feel that your whole body has no power and nothing to do. I am proud of being able to persist until now.
When the whistle sounded, the referee ran over and showed Van Dyke a yellow card.
Barcelona players immediately gathered around.
Suarez said excitedly: "This should be a red card! His foul was too rough! And as long as this ball passes by, we can score!"
Yang Feng, who was walking over, glanced at him and said, "You think I'm a dead person, don't you?"
Van Dijk is not the last line of defense. There is Kompany behind him, but Kompany was restrained by Su Ya at the time. If Van Dijk didn't knock down Messi from behind just now, Messi can be unguarded. When the ball hit the goal, it was naturally Yang Feng, the goalkeeper, who had to face the shot.
Suarez seemed to have heard a funny joke, "No, I thought you were a goalpost... It's so funny that you, Manchester City, put three pillars in front of the goal. Do you think you can win this way?"
Yang Feng burst into laughter, "You can't even win a single pillar, but you can still laugh? Have you ever counted? How many times have you lost to me in Liverpool? You think you can do it after changing teams?"
Su Ya was stepped on and hurt his foot. He spoke in a panic, or he accidentally said what was in his heart, "That's just because you have better teammates. It's different now. My teammates are stronger." …”
"Oh~"
Yang Feng drawled a long note, with an expression on his face that said, "I caught you."
"You said if I told the media what you said, what do you think Gerrard would think, what would your hot-tempered teammates in Liverpool think, and what would the Liverpool fans think?"
"you……"
Seeing that Su Ya was losing his words, Iniesta, who was the captain of Barcelona in this game, quickly stepped forward and stood between the two of them, but he was talking to the referee: "I have no objection to the yellow card, but this should obviously be a penalty kick! The foul occurred in the penalty area!"
Messi did fall in the penalty area, but it is difficult to say where the foul occurred.
The referee had already awarded Barcelona a penalty kick. In this ambiguous situation, of course he did not dare to risk it again. He shook his head firmly and said, "Free kick!"
Messi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "A free kick is a free kick."
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Feng, who happened to also turn his head, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
Yang Feng had just scored a free kick, and Boss Mei, who was also a master of free kicks, naturally wanted to give him one back in the same way.
"...Look at the replay, well, the foul spot was close to the penalty area line, but it was indeed outside the penalty area. The referee's decision was completely fine. Barcelona got a free kick opportunity in an excellent position. This will be Yang Feng and Messi head-to-head."
The conclusion of the Spanish media is completely opposite to that of He Shi, and the commentator almost shouted a black whistle.
"...The replays are very clear. Messi has already stepped into the penalty area with one foot. This was a misjudgment! The referee murdered Barcelona's second penalty! Van Dijk escaped a red card!"
No matter how frustrated the Barcelona fans outside the field were, the Barcelona players on the field had already accepted the referee's penalty. Messi placed the ball, retreated, and quietly waited for Manchester City to set up the wall.
Yang Feng stood in the middle of the goal and waved his hand to line up the tallest Van Dijk and Dzeko on the far right side of the wall. Then he moved a few steps to the left and focused on this side.
Suarez entered the penalty area and hid on the side of the wall, bending down in a starting position. On the other side, Neymar and Iniesta were also mixed in with the crowd, ready to fish in troubled waters at any time.
But Yang Feng and Messi only have eyes for each other.
There is a human wall between the two people, but they seem to be able to feel each other's firm gaze - of course this is the imagination of the two drama stars themselves, but in fact if the human wall is really removed, their line of sight is indeed just right. Being able to bump into each other...
The whistle sounded and Messi took a run.
Unlike Yang Feng, who seems to want to concentrate all his strength on his shooting foot when taking a free kick, Messi's free kick is done with skill.
After a gentle rub, the football flew up, over the wall, and towards the upper left corner of the goal.
"The bet was right..."
Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately jumped up. Like grabbing a rebound, he picked the ball off with one hand and held it tightly in his arms.
Suarez, who rushed over to take a supplementary shot, ran past him, came to the bottom line, and kicked the turf in frustration.
"Messi hit the goal directly! Yang Feng made the right judgment and saved the ball firmly! The ball was of high quality, but Yang Feng's save was even more exciting. Now it can basically be confirmed that Yang Feng does have the qualities of a top player The goalkeeper's strength is really incredible. Who would have thought that he can be both the sharpest spear and the strongest shield..."
Not to mention the people from Barcelona, even Yang Feng's friends were shocked.
Oblak and Pantilimon off the court, and even Ter Stegen on the opposite side couldn't help but put themselves into it.
What would have happened if I had saved the free kick myself?
The answer is that there is no answer, I just know that I shouldn’t be too optimistic...
Yang Feng did not take a big shot this time, but threw the ball hard with one hand and landed at Kanter's feet.
Kanter subconsciously turned to look for Cross, and then suddenly remembered that Cross had already lined up the wall and was still behind him. He quickly made a long pass to De Bruyne who was raising his hand for the ball in front of him.
De Bruyne easily unloaded the ball, quickly feinted with his upper body to deceive Alves' center of gravity, and then immediately burst out from the wing.
Alves pursued relentlessly and finally caught up with De Bruyne at a 45-degree angle from the penalty area.
De Bruyne was about to pass a pass to Dzeko who was flying into the penalty area. Alves suddenly made a tackle and knocked him to the ground.
“Beep!
! "
The referee who had just reached half-court immediately put the whistle into his mouth and blew it hard.
"...A dramatic scene appeared! As soon as Yang Feng saved Messi's free kick, Manchester City got another free kick opportunity! Oh, this time it was Aguero and Dzeko's turn to be dissatisfied. They thought it should be red. Order a set menu, not a yellow card and a free kick."
The wheel of feng shui is turning, but no one knows how fast it can turn.
Yang Feng once again came to Barcelona's half, placed the ball, and then took several steps back to prepare for the goal.
Van Dijk originally wanted to join in the fun and fight, but before he reached half-time, he was waved back by Pellegrini on the sidelines. He stayed in his own penalty area depressedly, ready to help. Yang Feng wiped his butt.
The wall was set up, and Ter Stegen raised his hand to the referee to indicate that he was ready.
Yang Feng looked up at the goal again, quickly took a run, and when he came to the football, his speed had reached the maximum, and then the outer instep of his right foot hit the football's valve hard.
This kick is not actually the outer instep in the strict sense, but just a little outside of the instep, which is exactly how the drop ball and elevator kick are played.
The football flew up, grazed the scalp of Pique, who was jumping high, and then fell rapidly.
Ter Stegen made a quick decision and pounced on the football.
The trajectory of the football still had the unique erraticness of a fallen ball, but this time with mental preparation, Ter Stegen did not panic at all and casually moved his hands in the general direction.
"puff!"
"bingo!"
Ter Stegen was delighted.
The football hit his forearm, bounced off and landed on the grass in front of the goal.
Aguero immediately started and rushed over to prepare for a follow-up shot.
Mascherano took a step faster and kicked the football. The football flew high and fell towards the midfield.
Neymar pressed Kante's chest to stop the ball. Just as he was about to show off, Suarez's shout came to his ears.
"Pass the ball!
"
The horse also knew that the opportunity was rare, and immediately pushed the ball forward with the inside of his right foot.
The football once again drew a parabola and fell towards Suarez in front.
Suarez leaned on Kompany and easily removed the ball with his feet.
Messi ran past, and Kompany immediately subconsciously turned in Messi's direction. As a result, Su Ya had no intention of passing the ball. He directly stepped on the ball with his soles, pulled the ball back hard, and then turned around to go around the hole. Pani, chasing football.
He is now in a position almost exactly in the middle of Manchester City's half, with Messi in front of him on the left and Van Dijk in front of him who is retreating slightly.
Suarez no longer hesitated, took a little step up, and immediately hit the goal!
"...Yang Feng shot, and the football was blocked! Mascherano made a clearance, Neymar took the ball, and passed it directly to Suarez! Suarez broke through Kompany with his back and lobbed the empty goal!
! "
The entire stadium seemed to have pressed the mute button. There was a strange silence for about a second, and then various exclamations started.
The football flew high, crossed half of the field, and landed at Manchester City's empty goal.
Just when the football was about to cross the goal line, a tall figure descended like a magic weapon from the sky and pushed the ball over the crossbar with a standard diving dive.
"Wow!"
"call!"
"Bah bang bang!"
"Van Dijk! Great Van Dijk! Great goal-line save! Suarez was too anxious! They had better and safer choices for this ball, but he chose the most radical and simple one!"
"Suarez seemed a little unacceptable. He was complaining to the referee, as if he thought the ball had crossed the goal line, but the replay showed clearly that the ball did not cross the line or even touch the line."
"Oh! It would be great if this ball was passed to Messi..."
"Damn it, Su Ya is too reckless, right? Such a good opportunity!"
"I'm so rash. Is there anything wrong with this ball hitting the goal? It's wrong not to hit the goal when there is an open goal! I can only say that Van Dijk is so cool! This kind of ball can be saved!"
Van Dijk fell into the goal in embarrassment and came into close contact with the turf in a very unsightly posture, but no one in the world dared to see his joke.
Yang Feng returned to the goal, hugged him hard, and patted his shoulder gratefully, "Well done, brother!"
"Beautiful is beautiful, but I really don't want to do it again," Van Dyke said with a lingering heart. "Boss, can you not be so big next time? I'm afraid..."
"Wealth is sought in danger, but we are afraid of wool!" Yang Feng took the ball thrown in by the caddy, "Don't worry, I will definitely kick the ball in next time!"
Van Dyke shook his head, "Don't get yourself involved..."
There is often a thin line between heroes and sinners. Just like a group of people are criticizing Su Ya now, there are also many people who are criticizing Yang Feng.
Accusing him of not being a goalkeeper, accusing him of not taking free kicks, and so on.
It is conceivable that if the ball had been scored just now, he would have faced a different scene. So not to mention that Yang Feng couldn't hear their voices, even if he heard them, he would just turn a deaf ear.
No matter if you are stubborn or determined, if you are frightened by such a small scene, then you have to climb to the top of the mountain.
It's a matter of life and death. If you don't accept it, do it!
The game continues.
There is not much regular time left, both sides are a little anxious, and the offensive has been significantly strengthened.
The game soon reached the 83rd minute. Pellegrini, who had been forced to use up three substitutions, could do nothing but worry on the sidelines. Although Enrique still had three substitutions left, Xavi was only used to replace the goal hero Rakitic, and the remaining two substitutions were obviously in preparation for overtime.
"There were only about ten minutes left in the game, and the score on the field was still 2-2. Enrique finally made the first substitution adjustment of the game. , if even this can't break the one with one less player... Ouch! What a great shot! It's worthy of Xavi!"
Xavi received a pass from Butzquez as soon as he came on the field, immediately turned 360 degrees while protecting the ball, got rid of Kroos, and then made a diagonal pass.
The football rolled to the left.
Iniesta took advantage of the situation and poked the ball. The ball passed David Silva and then passed to the middle.
Neymar stood on the penalty area line and hit the ball hard with his shoulder.
The football flew up slightly, passed Kompany, and landed on the right side of the small penalty area.
Messi came like a ghost, stretched his left foot forward, and unloaded the ball comfortably.
Van Dyke immediately rushed forward and stood firmly in front of him.
Demichelis followed Suarez at every step, and the hope of the whole village once again rested on Van Dijk.
It's a pity that the Dutch failed to create another miracle this time.
Messi's right shoulder sank, and then he quickly dunked the ball to the left. A Matthews fake move with his own unique charm was thrown out, directly deceiving Van Dijk to the side.
Yang Feng attacked, but before he could fall to the ground to save the ball, Messi had already pushed the ball firmly into the lower left corner of the goal.
3-2, Barcelona once again exceeded the score.
"Goal!
! Messi passed Van Dijk and scored easily! Manchester City is pushed to the edge of the cliff! "
"...Man City still failed to stop Barcelona's offensive after all. Xavi's sword is still young. He just touched the ball for the first time on the field and instigated what may be Barcelona's most important goal this season!"
"Messi's goals this season are not on the same level as Yang Feng, but if Barcelona can beat Manchester City to win the championship in this game, then his goal will give him a big share in the competition with Yang Feng. The advantages."
Messi excitedly rushed to the sidelines, jumped high in the air, and punched the air hard.
Yang Feng silently walked into the goal, picked up the ball, threw it to Cross, then clapped his hands and shouted: "Stand up your chest, cheer up! It's just a goal, and we will get it back soon!"
"come on! Come on!"
"Go back, get ready to serve!"
"There are 8 minutes left and we can score five more!"
"It's already the 85th minute of the game. Including injury time, there are at least about 8 minutes left in the game. Manchester City still has time to create a miracle."
Barcelona ended their celebrations after the referee intervened, and play resumed.
Enrique called Pedro and Raphinha to the sidelines, preparing to replace them at the last moment to waste the last time.
Pellegrini yelled "Calm down", "Attack" and "Don't give up" several times from the sidelines and then lost his voice. He hugged his shoulders and quietly waited for the verdict of fate.
Manchester City still has some big-time players in their squad.
Not to mention Yang Feng, who has repeatedly helped the team come back and win, there are also World Cup champions Silva and Kroos, and Aguero, who has staged a last-minute victory to win the championship, etc., are all figures who have experienced major tests.
At such a critical moment, they played a good role in stabilizing the morale of the military.
Manchester City played the most patient attack at the most critical moment.
The ball was passed in the backcourt, then pushed forward by Kante, and then Kroos took the ball and transferred it to De Bruyne's feet.
De Bruyne pretended to pass through, deceiving Alba and then distributed the ball to Silva who inserted in the middle.
Silva made a decisive pass.
Dzeko stayed in the penalty area, while Aguero was still outside the penalty area. The ball was passed to Aguero.
After receiving the ball, Aguero made two quick changes of direction, deceiving Busquets, and prepared to dribble the ball into the penalty area.
At the critical moment, Alves, who had been chasing Silva all the way to the middle, caught up with him. While bumping his shoulder hard, he stuck his foot heavily in front of Aguero.
He calculated very clearly that this foot would get stuck directly in front of the football and would never touch a hair of Aguero's leg, but he still underestimated Akun's ability.
Akun actually pulled the ball when he lost his balance. The result was that Alves kicked him directly in the calf...
Aguero fell to the penalty area line, and Alves' eyes widened in shock and he was at a loss.
"Silva made a direct pass, and Aguero broke through alone! Passing Busquets, preparing to enter the penalty area... Alves! Oops! This is a foul! An obvious foul! Will it be a penalty kick?!"
"The referee blew the whistle and ran over. The Barcelona players were pleading for mercy, but the referee was unmoved. A yellow card! Two yellows changed to one red! Alves was sent off, and Manchester City was a few minutes away from the end of the game. They got a free kick in the minute! It may very well be their last free kick of the season! Who will you think of at this time? Who else can you think of?!"
"Yang Feng once again stood up, and this kick will completely determine the fate of Manchester City this season!"
