"Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi..."
From the moment Messi touched the ball, the commentator kept mumbling Messi's name like a machine gun.
When he saw him pass five levels and defeat six generals, single-handedly single-handedly challenge Tottenham's entire defense and score the ball, his burst of shots turned into a long and continuous sound.
"Messi~~~~"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
"Messi!!!"
Messi's goal ignited the entire Camp Nou. The appearance of the goal allowed countless Barcelona fans to see victory and the dawn of advancement.
This time there are three Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals, namely Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.
Manchester United and Chelsea are competing for red and blue on the other side of the field, but Barcelona has to defend the honors of the Champions League and La Liga at their home court.
Neither La Liga nor fans from other countries want to see the Champions League final turn into a Premier League civil war.
That is simply too shameful!
At this moment, Messi opened the scoring for Barcelona, and the fans at the Camp Nou went crazy.
One by one, they stood up and waved Messi's poster head high.
As the man Ronaldinho carries, Messi really lives up to expectations.
Using his deft foot skills, he passed defenders one after another and helped Barcelona take the lead by one goal.
Such a player already has the potential to become the core of the team.
"This kid's foot speed is really too fast." Modric came up from behind and put a hand on Wang Xiaodong's shoulder, "It went by in a flash."
"Yeah, I didn't react much just now." Boateng also touched the back of his head with an annoyed look on his face.
"That's not a reason." Wang Xiaodong shook his head.
He knew that his teammates came up to talk to him specifically after seeing the anger on his face.
This is almost a tradition within the Tottenham team.
If Wang Xiaodong showed any signs of getting angry, his teammates who were nearby would come over to give Wang Xiaodong some guidance.
"I already know the reason. Now I just want to know how to deal with it." Wang Xiaodong pointed at Messi's back, "Is there any good way to stop him from doing that? What he did just now is not just once or twice. I Every time I see him pass our guys one after another, I want to step forward and break his legs off.”
"DONG, you must not do that!" Modric quickly stopped him, "That will cause international disputes!"
"Of course I know, that was just an angry comment." Wang Xiaodong also let out a sigh of relief.
"Tch, if I could really shovel, wouldn't I have shoveled earlier? The key is that I can't even shovel!" Boateng muttered secretly from the side.
"What did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything!" Seeing Wang Xiaodong showing signs of getting angry again, Boateng quickly rubbed the back of his head and ran away.
"Okay King Silver Horn, we have to discuss a countermeasure. That guy can't do that again!"
"Who says it's not?" Modric also shrugged. It seemed that he really had no good solution at the moment.
Messi's breakthrough doesn't look like much on TV or the screen, but if you are there in person, you will find how terrifying he is.
It is this kind of continuous touches, changes of direction and center of gravity movement in a small area that allows Messi to move the ball away one beat faster than you at any time, thereby getting out of your defensive gap.
This is his advantage and his talent.
On the court, it is difficult to see Messi competing head-on with other players, and the reason is very simple. Today's Messi may not even be as tough as Modric.
But that's enough.
Think about it, how terrifying would it be for a player who can continuously use flash in a small space?
On the sidelines of the court, Rijkaard showed a bitter smile.
He put Puyol, Eto'o and Ronaldinho on the bench today. Although there were injuries to the players, these three were not injured enough to be unable to play at all.
Whether it is Eto'o or Ronaldinho, even if they start injured, the fans will not say anything and will support him as always.
Even when they are on the court, they perform better with injuries than average players without injuries.
But even so, Rijkaard still did not put them into the starting lineup.
After losing the La Liga title for two consecutive seasons, Rijkaard is on the verge of dismissal.
The Champions League has become his last straw.
If he doesn't even win the Champions League, the only outcome waiting for him is to leave.
Now, with Ronaldinho's condition deteriorating, the dream built by Rijkaard is gradually collapsing.
There have been many rumors from the outside world that if Barcelona wants to rebuild, it must use the team's youth training products as the main force of the team.
Among them, Messi's voice is naturally the highest.
Not only that, Messi is often taken care of by big brother Ronaldinho when he is in the team.
With Ronaldinho shielding him from the wind and rain, Messi's progress can be described as rapid.
Rijkaard is certainly happy that his new star is growing up so fast.
But the problem is that no matter how happy he is, he can't stop Messi's rapid rise from having an impact on his career.
Today he was forced to start Messi under "some" pressure, and the team's main scorer Eto'o was also put on the bench, but he didn't want to "self-defeat". Messi really took on the offensive responsibility.
Seeing Messi being praised by the stars, Rijkaard knew.
Even if he leads Barcelona to win the Champions League this season, his dismissal is inevitable.
After all, his team formation ideas no longer fit with the current Barcelona.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of these miscellaneous thoughts, Rijkaard looked at the court again.
What he has to consider now is how to deal with Tottenham and Wang Xiaodong's counterattack.
Although Barcelona's full-field defense is very balanced and the defense intensity is also very high.
But there was one thing about Spurs that troubled him the most.
That was Wang Xiaodong’s long-range shot.
It’s rare to find a team that is good at long-range shots and focuses on long-range shots, especially in high-end competitions like the five major leagues.
A team that often shoots from long range is often viewed by others as "incapable of breaking into the penalty area."
But Tottenham is obviously a weirdo!
This season Tottenham's goals outside the penalty area are no less than those inside the penalty area. Wang Xiaodong's long-range shots are even more outstanding. They are even about to win the Golden Boot of the Champions League and the Premier League.
For such a terrifying opponent, Rijkaard's first thought was to destroy Wang Xiaodong's long-range shot before he took off.
...
After the game resumed, Tottenham's offense failed again.
"Xavi got the ball on the right and took it to the center..."
"DONG come up and defend..."
"Xavi's feet are very fast. He used a change of rhythm to pass DONG and rushed towards the Tottenham penalty area with the ball..."
"Cross..."
"Henry, who was following, had no one to defend him, so he just kicked the ball and hit the goal!"
"Push to the far corner!"
Amid the exclamations from Camp Nou, Henry's push into the far corner scraped the post and rolled out of the baseline.
The Frenchman scratched the back of his head in frustration.
He was very unhappy at this moment because he felt that he had missed an opportunity to prove himself!
Everyone knows why Henry came to Barcelona, but now Rijkaard is about to leave get out of class, Eto'o is in his prime, and there are calls from the outside world to cultivate the team's stars. Henry is not sure what he will do after coming here. , can he continue to play the main role?
Don't look at him starting today. If Eto'o hadn't been injured in his calf, he really wouldn't have been able to serve as a charge pointer.
"Good shot!" Iniesta came over, reached out and patted Henry's butt.
If it were Messi, he might touch the opponent's neck or the back of his head.
But for Henry, who was 1.88 meters tall, Xiaobai could only touch his butt.
"Come on Henry, we will still score!"
Henry looked at Inesta, who was seven years younger than him but spoke with a mature expression, and forced a smile.
Also as a product of La Masia's youth training, Xiaobai will naturally be included in the core lineup of the future team.
"Thank you, Andres."
Boateng was a little annoyed after Barcelona's lineup retreated.
"Faq, that's too much. Do they think they are all Maradona?"
Obviously, Boateng was shocked by Xavi's breakthrough just now.
Messi is scary enough, but I didn't expect Xavi.
The man who wore the Barcelona captain's armband today had no other highlights after the opening except for a few good passes. But just now, he made a sudden pass and almost broke through Tottenham's defense again.
"This is Barcelona!" The old captain Ledley King on the side looked like he had seen the world and waved his hand to stop Boateng from continuing to complain.
Not only Boateng, but other Tottenham players are also holding back their anger.
The fire mainly comes from the way Barcelona play.
The Barcelona players will not confront you head-on. As long as they can avoid collision, they will not take risks.
And the most important thing is that even if Tottenham players take the initiative to get closer, they will avoid it with their deft movement.
So far, except for the 1.77-meter Deco and the 1.88-meter Henry who were knocked to the ground several times during the attack, the other Tottenham players have not even touched their hair.
As for Yaya Toure who was lagging behind, apart from Wang Xiaodong, there is probably no one else stupid enough to compete with him.
...
Barcelona is becoming more and more proficient in attacking on the court. Even if they lose the ball, they will counterattack at the front of Tottenham's penalty area. As a result, Tottenham players have no good way except to make a hasty clearance.
Defoe and Robbie Keane also tried to press up front, but the opponent did not hesitate to trade space for time by passing back to the goalkeeper.
After several rounds, Defoe and Robbie Keane were very tired, but they didn't grab a single ball.
In the 37th minute of the game, Boateng finally caught the opportunity and used a sliding tackle to the ground to shovel the ball out of the baseline.
Barcelona won the third corner kick of the game.
This time Modric also followed, but Xavi looked at his teammates on the court and despite Modric's pressure, he forcibly passed the ball to Inesta who came to respond.
Modric saw this and followed closely, using his body to prevent Iniesta from turning around.
Xavi hasn't come back from the offside line yet, so Inesta can't pass the ball back immediately.
Just when Modric wanted to use his body to knock Inesta's center of gravity away, Xiaobai, who was facing the ball, moved the ball away from his side, stepped down quickly with his right foot, and suddenly cut the edge of the ball.
ROU made a sound.
The ball that was cut on the side spun rapidly, drew an arc outward, and then quickly rolled forward.
Looking at Inesta who turned to the left and back, Modric was stunned for a moment.
Is it to guard against the ball rolling away from the right, or to guard against the person turning on the left?
In this moment of confusion, Xiaobai turned around and passed by Modric.
Not only that, the ball miraculously turned back and rolled onto the path of Iniesta.
The fans' eyes were wide open.
Good guy.
Is there such a way to turn around and pass the ball?
It’s simply amazing, right?
Seeing the opponent's third player showing such superb skills with his feet, Tottenham's defenders almost went crazy.
Damn it!
Forget about one or two, but now there is another one popping up.
What is going on with this team?
Are they all possessed by Maradona?
Immediately afterwards, Inesta used a skillful deep-fried ball to pass the oncoming Chimbanda.
His smooth dribbling posture is even better than Modric's before.
Seeing that Inesta was about to pass the ball, at the critical moment, Boateng rushed in front of him again, made a sliding tackle and barely blocked the path of the ball with his toes.
The ground ball that hit Boateng's toe suddenly bounced up. Messi, Deco and others who were scrambling for points in the penalty area were stunned and hurriedly ran towards the spot where the ball landed.
But at this moment, a majestic figure leaped high in the penalty area, knocking Messi and Deco aside.
Wang Xiaodong, who was facing the ball, flicked the ball with his header and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.
After landing, looking at Messi who almost fell off his butt after taking three steps back, Wang Xiaodong slapped his chest and shouted loudly: "Little dwarfs, you still want to fight for a header?"
