Chapter 32 Overwhelms you in your momentum!

As the game entered the halftime break, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room seemed relatively relaxed. Guardiola and his players were ready for a fierce battle early in the morning. They played very smoothly in the first half and had the advantage, but they just lacked a goal. If it were other teams, they might lose patience, but the current Atletico Madrid team would not. They believed that Guardiola would tell themselves what to do in the second half to score and win in the end.

Relatively speaking, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was more tense. Barcelona players all frowned, even Shaq, the captain, was the same. The first half was really boring. Although he completed two shots, he couldn't even get the ball. Barcelona's tactics seemed to be completely seen through by the opponent.

Simon Grayson, McAndrew, Lerotale, Divayo and others discussed it, but they did not find any way to win, but they still summarized some defensive adjustments, and then... Simon Grayson appeared in front of the players with great confidence on his face.

"We played very passively in the first half, and the opponent's two wings cuts caused us a lot of trouble..."

Speaking of this, Simon Grayson paused for a moment, and he felt very unhappy. Messi and Neymar, who were sold by him, were causing trouble for themselves, which was no different from shooting themselves in the foot. Fortunately, this Barcelona is basically in the hands of Simon Grayson.

Even Fabregas, Vasquis, and Montoya are former players of Barcelona, ​​but Vasquis is really the one who is because of Simon Grayson. At the age of 23, he has actually played for Barcelona for his fifth season, but he has not performed so well in the first four seasons. He scored 15 goals and assisted 9 times last season, but he did not receive a salary increase. The main reason is that Vasquis has no position in the team. Messi, Neymar, Sanchez and others have already occupied the main position, so he, who also comes from Lamacia's youth training camp, is very supportive of Simon Grayson selling Messi, Neymar.

"In the second half, the midfielder should pay attention to timely withdrawal to protect the back line, two full-backs and central defenders. Pay more attention to the opponent's incisive cutting on both sides, and the movements can be bigger at critical moments! Do you understand?"

Simon Grayson's eyes became more fierce. Players and coaches from England felt that they were too weak when watching the La Liga game style. He discussed with his coaching team that if his team was more fierce in the first half, the scene would never be so passive.

"clear!"

The few people pointed to by Simon Grayson were very decisive and nodded together. Fabregas and Montoya did not hesitate because Messi and Neymar were former teammates. In this crucial battle that concerns whether the team can win the league championship, any weak behavior may have serious consequences.

"All offenses start with defense. When you do your defensive work, we will have an opportunity to attack next. However... our offense needs to make some changes. I need you to pass the ball to the frontcourt through the wing as soon as possible, and then in this area..."

Simon Grayson turned around, took a pen and circled a long oval on the tactical board. The position was ten meters in front of the opponent's penalty area.

"Here... we're going to create a set ball! Don't forget what kind of scoring rate Shaq has in this area!"

After saying this, Simon Grayson walked aside. He had already seen his players' eyes lit up. He didn't need him to say anything more next. These players have rich experience and they know better than themselves how to do it.

Successfully defended... wing offense... creating a free kick in dangerous areas... Shaq took the penalty and scored... and then...

Win!

What is the purpose of football games!?

Of course it's for victory!

Among these players in Barcelona's current mall, only Fabregas, Vasquis and Montoya are former Barcelona players. And the three of them... are not affected by Guardiola's fanatical pursuit of "control". Compared to controlling the game, they certainly prefer victory.

For the rest of the time, Barcelona players were no longer bored in the first half, and they had already started to prepare for the second half. The coach's guidance made them feel as if the lost children saw a little light, and their confidence recovered without realizing it.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona, ​​which strengthened the wing defense, did not give their opponents too much room for movement. After Montoya successfully defended the "Little Pea" on the right rear, he quickly passed the ball to Alaba's feet in the midfield, and Barcelona's counterattack started.

After Alaba dribbled the ball to the center line, he passed the ball to Vasquis who ran up to meet him on the side and continued to step forward.

After Vasquis dribbled the ball and ran horizontally for a few meters, he quickly pushed the ball into the middle with his left foot. Shaq, who ran up from a diagonal line, stopped the ball with his right foot, and immediately followed up and started dribbling.

Although Shaq was surrounded by two Atletico Madrid's central defenders Carras and Domingos, and Lenaz who was retreating, Shaq's sudden start still made the opponent unable to intercept the ball. Shaq took a few steps to the left and approached Alaba's running route and suddenly stopped and stuffed the ball directly into the space between Carras and right back Schmidt.

Shaq originally wanted to cooperate with Alaba to run through and let Alaba, who was sprinting in a straight line, break in, but—

Just as Shaq stopped urgently, Alaba also stopped. When he was playing football with Shaq at Manchester United, he had seen Shaq's fierceness in the Dragon Pool alone. Just now, he was afraid that his running would affect Shaq. However, he thought that Shaq now tends to be more team-oriented, and as a result... the opportunity was wasted like this.

"Bang!"

Schmidt directly made a long pass from the backcourt and launched a counterattack!

"Bang!"

Messi, who returned to the right, leaned against Ben Parker's back on the ball, skillfully and lightly knocked the ball from Ben Parker's crotch with his heels, but he himself swung 180 degrees.

Ben Parker quickly turned around and chased after him, but he was in a short position. Messi faced Batista who moved horizontally to fill the position, and had already controlled the ball and changed the direction of the breakthrough. He also avoided Ben Parker during the sudden stop and change direction.

After dribbling the ball horizontally, Messi took a look at the "Little Pea" Hernandez, who was standing outside the top of the Barcelona penalty area with his back against Rivero. Behind the two were the empty Barcelona penalty area.

At this time, if the ball can be inserted into the diagonal line, Hernandez will turn around and catch up with the ball and complete a threatening shot!

"Bang!"

Messi passed the ball!

At this time, the "Little Flea" did not notice Ben Parker who had already caught up from the right back!

Parker, who was smeared by Messi, was already holding back his anger. At this time, he rushed up and saw Messi going to pass the ball. He immediately sank and made a slippery move. When he saw Messi really passed the ball out, his legs became more powerful, and he swung the ball around the lawn and kicked it out with a "bang"!

Next-

Ben Parker's right foot did not stop and kicked Messi's calf again!

"oh--"

Seeing this scene, Atletico Madrid fans exclaimed in surprise. The fierce aura came to their faces. They only had one feeling. Ben Parker was so cruel!

Damn!

Is this going to kick the leg out!?

At the critical moment, Messi still jumped quickly, but his right foot was still kicked by Ben Parker...

"Bang!"

"ah--"

Messi screamed and rushed out, and then grinned and sat with his hands and hugged his right foot.

"Bang!"

Fabregas, who got the ball, was still very sportsmanly. He turned around and kicked the ball far away from the right side.

"Beep————”

The referee blew the whistle, and then the Atletico Madrid team doctor rushed into the field...

The players of Atletico Madrid did not seek trouble for Ben Parker, this ball... Ben Parker did not commit a foul at all. It can be seen from the line where the ball flew out. Ben Parker tackled the ball first. He did go for the ball when he was doing the action, but he just kicked Messi.

This kind of thing is really nothing!

On this green field, as long as you abide by the established rules and can beat your opponent without fouling, you are just better at it.

Messi, with the help of Atletico Madrid team doctor, jumped to the sidelines with one foot...

"It seems that Leonel's right foot needs to be dealt with, but fortunately it's right foot!"

Fans all over the world know that if Messi's left foot is a golden left foot, his right foot will be equivalent to the bronze level. Now the one who is injured is the right foot, which will not cause him too much influence. Moreover, looking at his expression and the relaxation of the team doctors' faces, the injury to the right foot is just an ordinary flaw. It will be fine after the pain is relieved.

When Messi came out for treatment, the game started again. Barcelona, ​​which temporarily had a one-person advantage, became even more fierce. Shaq, Salavi, Alaba, and Ganso frequently rely on physical confrontation to fight for opportunities. In a blink of an eye, the offensive was pushed into the half of Atletico Madrid. Although he had not completed the shot, his momentum had already been raised with Ben Parker's fierce tackle and began to overwhelm the opponent.
Chapter completed!
