With the exception of Henry, all Depor players were warming up in their own half.
Beckham and Riquelme were doing stretching exercises together. Both of them had just recovered from injuries and needed to warm up better to avoid further injuries.
Looking towards the Barcelona camp opposite, Henry was chatting with his old friends. Beckham asked in a low voice: "Romi, why don't you go over and say hello to your old teammates?"
"Let's wait until the game is over. Now I just want to focus all my energy on thinking about the game." There was no wave on Riquelme's face.
Even so, Riquelme still looked up at the Barcelona camp. Those familiar jerseys always reminded him of some old memories, but those memories were not so good.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Harvey on the opposite side looking at him. As the super brain of Team Universe, Harvey's eyes were bright.
Riquelme couldn't hide, he waved to his old friend, and received the same response from the other side.
They didn't know that the same words flashed through their minds at the same time.
If I (he) were still at Barcelona, would I (he) be the core of Barcelona's midfield now?
You can't turn back time, and you can't look back in life.
After returning to the locker room after the warm-up, the coaches of the two teams once again emphasized the tactical strategy of this game.
Vilanova: "We will try our best to win this game! I hope you will perform at your best and let Depor experience real passing football, and avoid the shame of losing to Depor in the first half of the league!"
Yun Sheng: "Barcelona is extremely strong, and many of our players are missing due to injuries. The situation is not good for us today. We must defend well and stabilize the midfield and backcourt! But don't belittle yourself and never be discouraged! We will strive for more today. A quality counterattack opportunity!”
An all-out attack, a defensive counterattack, the referee blows the whistle, and the game begins!
Today, Barcelona's lineup is extremely neat, especially in the midfield and frontcourt. The trio of Habaib in the midfield are in good condition. On the front line, Francesco and Sanchez assist Messi. From the first minute, these six players are heading towards Depor's half. Launch a fierce attack.
Especially Messi, he is in great form today!
"Messi shook off the defense of Beckham and Gattuso! Cai Huikang made a tackle!"
"Messi pulled the ball past him! He volleyed into the far corner! Navas poked the ball out with his fingertips!"
"This goal is such a pity, Messi almost scored at the beginning!"
Navas got up from the ground and looked at the little Argentinian outside the penalty area with lingering fear.
A few minutes later, Messi came up again.
"Fabregas and Ronaldo fight together! Two days of hard work between young talents!"
"Farewell knocked the ball to the right, Sanchez received the ball and moved forward! Cut inside! volley into the far corner!"
"Navas has done another great job! He hit the ball out of the penalty area!"
"Messi jumped in front of Lucio and shot! It was a low shot! It went straight to the lower right corner!"
"Zhang Linpeng fell to the ground and made a tackle! The ball was shoveled out of the baseline!"
"Navas had already made a save and fell to the ground just now. He had no time to save Messi's follow-up shot. If it weren't for Zhang Linpeng's defense, Depor would have fallen behind by now."
In less than ten minutes, Depor encountered danger twice, and Yun Sheng frowned on the sidelines.
This Barcelona is so powerful!
Although Yunsheng is equipped with a double midfielder of Gattuso and Cai Huikang, and although Beckham's defensive ability is also very good and he often withdraws to help defend, despite this, they were still beaten hard by Barcelona.
Just Messi alone is enough to turn things upside down, not to mention the two talented stars in France and Sanchez.
As the former captain of Arsenal, Fabregas's status in Barcelona is not as good as that of the Gunners, but there is no doubt about his talent; and Yun Sheng is very aware of Sanchez's strength. He has played against Sanchez many times before in Serie A, and he is very clear about it. His strength.
Fortunately, Navas was in great condition today and continued to keep the goal.
But Deco doesn't have any chance.
Taking advantage of a sneak attack after a steal, Gattuso successfully tackled the ball and passed it to Beckham when he fell to the ground. Beckham quickly made a long pass. Ronaldo on the left intervened at high speed and passed diagonally towards Wu who was running quickly. Lei!
Wu Lei kept playing and moved forward! The ball goes past Alba!
Volley from the penalty area to a close corner!
Valdes hit the ball with both fists! The ball bounced off the goalpost and flew out of the baseline!
Depor missed it for a long time!
Afterwards, Beckham's corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Pique, and Depor returned without success.
Although Depor's counterattack surprised the Barcelona players, such opportunities are rare.
Next, it’s time for Barcelona to press Depor again...
"Xavi got the ball and he stayed on the spot to protect it. Pogba couldn't touch the ball at all!"
"Messi moved forward quickly along the right, and he ran out of the gap! Zhang Linpeng followed closely!"
"Xavi played the ball! The ball went straight to the left side of the penalty area! Iniesta moved forward quickly! He caught the ball!"
"Volley to the near corner! Navas hit the ball with both fists! He has made a contribution again!"
Iniesta's sudden advance caught Depor off guard, and two minutes later Alves' assist from the back row made Depor break out in a cold sweat.
"Alves moved forward quickly! He had a one-two with Sanchez! Depor left back Salomono was shaken away!"
"Alves made a pass! Busquets stepped in from the back and headed the ball towards the goal!"
"The ball was saved by Navas again!"
Looking at the fierce competition, the two hosts in the live broadcast room were also very excited today.
Especially die-hard Barcelona fan Diego, he was very excited. Although Barcelona's shot was saved again, he is still extremely determined about Barcelona's victory in this game: "Today the two teams are not on the same level at all! The performance on the field What a world of difference!”
Jose on the side shook his head: "Deportivo has a lot of wounded soldiers, and it is true that he is not strong today..."
Diego pouted: "Even if they are full of injuries, the Madrid duo didn't win against them a few days ago."
Jose: "This..."
Jose's face was full of joy: "Our Barcelona is definitely the strongest team in the world, bar none!"
Yun Sheng was expressionless on the sidelines, watching the changes on the sidelines without saying a word.
Half an hour had passed since the entire game, and the only threatening shot by Depor was Wu Lei's. The rest of the time, Barcelona was pressing him to the ground and rubbing him.
There is nothing Yunsheng can do now, because he has played the most suitable cards at this stage, and the players are also working hard. Even if Barcelona frequently creates murderous opportunities, it does not mean that Deportivo players are not in good condition, but that Barcelona is in too good condition.
Today, the Deportivo team has worked very hard, but in the face of Barcelona's cosmic passing control, they are still frequently exhausted by the opponent's passes.
This Barcelona is so powerful...
