I Just Can Score

Chapter 535 The Despair of Barcelona Players

In the second half of the game, Zhen Shaolong didn't feel very good. There were two frustrations--

One is being defended very depressed.

The second is that Messi did not perform well.

Since breaking through to the goal at the beginning of the center circle, Barcelona has greatly strengthened its defense against him. When Newcastle United attacked from the front, he had two players around him outside the penalty area, and he was 'besieged' by three people for a long time in the penalty area.

That treatment...

Zhen Shaolong thought of Zhou Xingxing's Kung Fu football movie, the scene where the main character was surrounded by several players holding hands. He never thought that he could enjoy such treatment, the difference was that the other party didn't have "shameless" to hold hands in a circle.

But also very depressed!

No one can do anything about this kind of defense. Zhen Shaolong feels that he is very special, very special, because he has a way. For example, if Messi performs well, he may be able to accumulate the breakthrough effect of "Forced Copy". Rush up and throw off the defense.

Unfortunately, no.

In the following time, Messi's performance was not good.

"Maybe Messi's mentality has been affected? Is he too shocked by my performance?"

"It should be like this, but there is no way!"

"I am taller than him, handsomer than him, more popular than him... I am better at playing football than him, he was hit in all directions..."

Zhen Shaolong sighed regretfully, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have encouraged him! I encouraged him several times, but it was completely useless. His mentality is so bad!"

He couldn't help but be depressed.

In the follow-up time of the first half, he was closely guarded most of the time and did not perform at all.

Here comes the midfield.

The score in the first half was 1 to 3, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back, with Barcelona trailing by two goals at home.

This is not acceptable to Barcelona.

Barcelona is one of the most brilliant teams in Europe, they are in the peak period, not only can play beautiful football, but also can easily beat the opponent to win.

Barcelona players also have their own pride, and they are all big stars individually.

Even Henry, who has successively won the top scorer in the Premier League, is just an ordinary player when he comes to Barcelona, ​​and it is not easy to even secure the main position.

This is mighty Barcelona.

The stadium where the game is played is called the Nou Camp Stadium. There is no need to talk about the glorious history of the Nou Camp. As a football mecca in Catalonia, Barcelona will feel that they can easily beat their opponents when they play here.

Barcelona only accept victory at the Nou Camp, and it is difficult to accept a half-time draw, let alone a two-goal deficit at half-time.

shame!

What a shame!

The Barcelona players were thinking about the game, and there was nothing they could do about the 'shame'. The opponent was leading entirely by strength, and there was no luck in the middle.

The first two goals were entirely personal performances. Barcelona's defense couldn't defend the opponent, so what else could they do?

Skills are not as good as people!

Very helpless.

They all feel convinced.

In any case, the feeling of defeat is not very good. Every player walked into the locker room with their heads down.

This should not have happened to Barcelona.

O Barcelona!

One of the strongest teams in Europe.

Every player in the team is a top star, they have the top strength and rich experience.

What's the point of losing at halftime?

But Zhen Shaolong's performance was too shocking, especially for the second goal, he drove the ball halfway and ran wildly, breaking through the goal all the way to score the ball.

If you ask Barcelona players to give an evaluation, they all want to ask, "Is this human?"

"We're not a different species, are we?"

certainly.

just kidding.

The stronger the star, the more shocked he is by Zhen Shaolong's performance, because they will know how difficult it is to complete that kind of goal.

Messi, Harvey, etc.,

This is especially true for players who are good at breakthroughs.

They are the most shocking.

This kind of psychological shock also directly affected the performance. On the contrary, some defenders are not good at attacking. They only know that the opponent is very good and that they need to be closely guarded. Their state has not been greatly affected.

The head coach Guardiola is also in a heavy heart. He knows that the score cannot be blamed on the players. It is entirely because the opponent's performance is too good. The kick-off from the center circle breaks all the way to the goal. Let alone an ordinary player, even he feels very shocked. , Doubting whether he can defeat such an opponent, but as the head coach of the team, he must remain rational.

He doesn't want to lose.

The Champions League game is too important, especially the Nou Camp game. Losing is not only the points, but the most important thing is the face of Barcelona and the Nou Camp.

For a top club, the latter is even more important than the former.

When all the players returned to the locker room, Guardiola said to the players, "I know that the opponent's performance is very good, yes, no one can deny it."

"That was shocking!"

"Kick-off from the middle circle, break through to the goal, let alone you, even I was surprised, in my career, I have never encountered such an opponent..."

"But he can't always be that good!"

"That's just once in a while!"

Guardiola said, "He is indeed very good, so good that it is difficult to understand, but you have to pay attention, he only scored two goals. Most of the time, the connecting ball was not received. Our defense is still useful."

"Now we're only two goals behind too, and is two a lot?"

"We have plenty of time to get back!"

Guardiola's words brought the players back to their senses.

Indeed!

No matter how good the opponent is, they only scored two goals, and it is impossible to continue to perform so well.

As a top star, there are always times when he performs very well, such as Messi, Messi has also scored very wonderful goals, breaking through three players in a row, from halftime breakthrough to before the goal, you can see it Performance.

The other party just performed more amazingly.

Many players figured it out.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, so what? It's just a player.

In addition, they are all professional players, the top professional players. Professional players play football as a profession, even if they don’t care about the outcome of the game, they must try their best to perform on the field.

This is the sportsmanship of professional players.

Next, Guardiola pointed out the points that need to be paid attention to in the first half, such as the forward pass was a bit hasty, such as the backcourt defense was too heavy on Zhen Shaolong, which gave other players of the opponent a chance.

subsequently.

Guardiola is considering a substitution.

In professional football matches, substitution is a very important method. Those players who perform poorly and are not in good condition are replaced, and others come off the bench, and they may have a good performance.

This is also healthy competition within the team.

Guardiola decided to let Eto'o play. Eto'o's performance at the winger position was very average, and he basically did not contribute to the offense. It was a waste to occupy a starting position.

Guardiola is not dissatisfied with Eto'o, everyone knows the reason for Eto'o's poor performance - position, Eto'o is not used to playing as a winger.

But that's the way it is with teams.

After Henry joined last season, Eto'o happened to be affected by injuries. Henry quickly occupied the starting position of the center forward. His performance was not worse than Eto'o's. big help.

Eto'o's body has recovered this season, but it is impossible to directly replace Henry if he wants to play, because Henry is still very stable, and even shows higher efficiency as he adapts for a season.

So Eto'o was a little embarrassed.

Many players have speculated that if the situation has not changed, Eto'o may leave the team at the end of the season. After all, he is also the world's top striker, and it is impossible to be willing to play as a substitute.

Guardiola opted for Iniesta to replace Eto'o.

Iniesta is a genius from La Masia's youth training camp. He played frequently for Barcelona at the age of 18 and started to play the main force at the age of 20. He is a player with flexible skills and strong assist ability. He has always been very close to Messi. tacit agreement.

Eto'o's journey originally belonged to Iniesta, so it was only natural to let Iniesta play.

subsequently.

Guardiola looked at Messi, "Do you want to replace Messi?" He was thinking about whether to replace Messi out of a protective mentality.

The outside media all compare Messi and Zhen Shaolong. Judging from the performance of the game, the two cannot be compared at all. Messi's mentality was affected in the second half of the game, and his performance was also greatly affected.

"Replace?"

"No change?"

Guardiola thought a lot, but he gave up the idea of ​​replacing Messi, because replacing Messi is tantamount to admitting that Messi is not as good as Zhen Shaolong.

That may have hit Messi even more.

On the contrary, Messi continues to stay on the court, he will work hard to perform, and maybe he can find confidence.

the other side.

In the Newcastle United dressing room, the atmosphere was very relaxed and everyone was smiling.

Head coach Kevin Keegan praised all the players, "Everyone performed very well, but we still have to work hard. We'd better be ahead at the end!"

That means victory.

Keegan's compliment came from the bottom of his heart. Needless to say, Zhen Shaolong's performance can't be described as "God Possessed". The other players are also quite good. The team's ability to play offensively and find opportunities to complete goals is quite commendable.

Keegan also talked about how he played in the second half, and his main point was, "Just play it!"

"We're going to continue to strengthen our defense."

After praising all the players and talking about the adjustments for the second half, Keegan stood at the small window and looked at the fans and the stadium outside. Thinking of the possibility of defeating Barcelona, ​​he suddenly felt a wave of excitement gushing from the depths of his heart.

Yes.

excited.

Keegan originally thought that if he lost his football concept and coached with a utilitarian mentality of winning and losing, he would lose the integrity and soul of coaching. Good results, especially beating Barcelona at the Nou Camp, but he felt a sense of accomplishment in winning.

Is that what success brings?

While Keegan couldn't believe it, he also felt very ashamed.

"I shouldn't feel this way..."

"Success? No. It's not my success, it's a stolen success!"

Keegan felt guilty.

Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind. After losing his integrity and bottom line, he used his professional rights to get a large amount of unscrupulous income.

Is that an achievement?

No!

That is sin!

————

Soon the second half of the game began.

Amidst the cheers and cheers from the fans in the surrounding stands, the players on the Barcelona field rekindled their fighting spirit, continued to skillfully control their style of play, and continued to control the football, and immediately suppressed Newcastle United in the half.

Barcelona went on the offensive.

The first wave of offense lasted nearly three minutes. Although he failed to score a goal in the end, it is also an excellent skill to keep the opponent from getting the ball in a row.

That will make the opponent desperate.

Fortunately, Newcastle United has a good mentality. They have already prepared in their hearts. When they lead by two goals, they will properly stabilize the defense and try not to give their opponents any chances.

Barcelona quickly regained control of the ball and continued to suppress Newcastle United. Their performance was obviously much better than that of the rest of the first half.

They regained their fighting spirit, recovered their form, and also recovered their accustomed rhythm.

Every player is doing well.

The same goes for Messi.

Fifteen minutes in halftime is enough for people to think calmly. Messi has already figured it out. The opponent is indeed very good, so good that it makes the opponent feel desperate.

so what?

What does it have to do with him?

If he puts his mentality back a few years ago, many players in the world are better than him, and he never thought that he would be able to get to this point.

So, take it easy.

No one can guarantee that he is the best in the world. It is normal for someone to be better than himself, and he is still very young. There is a long way to go in the future, and he will continue to grow and improve. Maybe one day in the future, He can catch up with the opponent and stand at the same height as the opponent.

Now all he has to do is try to perform.

Don't think that you are a big star, don't compare yourself with the opponent, you are just an ordinary player, try to play on the court, and help the team beat the opponent.

That's all.

After Messi calmed down, his performance improved significantly, and he returned to his previous state.

Successful breakthrough!

Wonderful pass!

In the 52nd minute of the game, Messi used his personal performance to almost help the team complete the goal. Unfortunately, Hleb's shot was a bit weak in the end, and the football rubbed against the post and flew into the baseline.

"Hula..."

The fans in the surrounding stands sighed regretfully.

It doesn't matter!

There is still plenty of time!

Barcelona regained their morale and launched waves of offensives.

middle circle.

Zhen Shaolong stood in the middle, motionless, like a statue in a standing position, different from the nervousness of other teammates, he let out a long breath, "It's normal now!"

"Messi should be doing so well!"

As long as Messi can break through continuously, it can help to accumulate the breakthrough effect of "Forced Copy". No matter how densely targeted the defense is, it is not an insurmountable obstacle.

Messi did really well.

In the 61st minute of the game, Messi received a pass from the front of the penalty area. Everyone thought that he would continue to pass, either pass it back to his teammates, or just kicked the penalty area. Unexpectedly, he would turn around and lead the ball by himself. .

Faced with the pincer attack of Gene and Grami, Messi dribbled the ball through between the two.

After Messi broke through the two, he had rushed into the penalty area and had room to shoot. After he glanced at the goal, he waved his foot without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The football rushed to the left of the goal in an instant.

The goalkeeper Ji Wen's reaction speed is considered fast, and his save judgment is also very accurate, but he still has no way to defend such a close-range shot.

"The ball went in!"

"Messi! Messi!"

"He made a breakthrough at the front of the penalty area and sent the ball into the Newcastle gate!"

"The score on the field became 2 to 3! Barcelona recovered a goal and they were only one goal behind!"

field.

Barcelona didn't celebrate too excitedly. Messi just clapped his hands as an opponent who came over, and immediately ended the celebration and prepared to restart the game.

They are still one goal behind, but it is not time to celebrate.

The Barcelona fans in the surrounding stands were very excited. They cheered wildly, and they also had reasons to cheer-Barcelona has already begun to hope for a tie.

The first half of the game was depressing.

The Barcelona fans felt the same as the fans. They were shocked by Zhen Shaolong's performance and felt that the game might be lost. Barcelona's performance was not bad, but what can they do if the opponent is too strong?

Is there any more amazing ball than this one?

Barcelona fans were shocked.

Now seeing Barcelona's performance and Messi's goal, the fans see hope again. They feel that tying is very promising, and after tying, they can look forward to overtaking. They can still win at the Nou Camp win.

People, the most important thing is hope.

As long as there is hope, there will be motivation, expectation, and mood. On the contrary, if there is no hope, there will be despair.

At this time, the Camp Nou stadium is full of hope. If you don't know the game on the field and just look at the excitement of the fans, you will think that Barcelona has a big lead.

The shouts of the fans in the stands are also very exciting--

"Barcelona, ​​come on!"

"Messi, come on!"

"I love Barcelona, ​​long live Barcelona!"

The Barcelona fans have reason to be excited, and the players on the field also have reason to play hard and look forward to a better performance to tie the score, but they are still behind for the time being.

The ball is also in the hands of Newcastle United.

Michael Owen is standing in the center circle with a football on his feet for the kick-off.

Zhen Shaolong stood beside him, staring at the goal in the distance, thinking, "Six seconds is not enough!"

"never mind!"

Zhen Shaolong shook his head.

When the referee announced the start of the game, Owen kicked the ball over. Zhen Shaolong didn't take the ball directly, but kicked it to Gremi behind him.

It's a pity.

Many Newcastle fans and even the media are still looking forward to Zhen Shaolong's "one more dragon", but unfortunately Zhen Shaolong has no intention of trying to do it.

They think it's a luxury.

That kind of performance again, Barcelona put up their hands and surrender!

The British commentator is also talking about this topic, "It's a pity that Zhen Shaolong didn't dribble the ball himself. I really hope to see him play another dragon."

"At that time, Barcelona's mentality will definitely collapse..."

"That's interesting!"

"It's a pity... Newcastle launched an offensive normally, to see Gremi catch the ball..."

"Oh--"

"This ball!"

With the turn of the commentator's voice, everyone's attention returned to the court.

Newcastle United took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and hit the right side of the frontcourt. Damien Duff protected the ball to find a position and passed it to Gremi who was keeping up.

Gremi was about to move on, when he found Zhen Shaolong turned around and ran over.

Zhen Shaolong was heavily defended, with Pique and Busquets around him, but they could not completely restrict his running. When he found his teammates attacking the front court, he immediately retreated and ran back.

Pique and Busquets followed behind.

If it is placed on other players, even if they retreat and receive the pass, because they are blocked by two people behind them, they can only transfer the ball to others.

Gremi judged the situation, he hesitated a little, but passed the ball.

Ordinary people are ordinary people, is Zhen Shaolong an ordinary person? He's not even counting...ahem.

Gremi's answer is no.

Zhen Shaolong retreated to get the ball, which made Barcelona a little nervous, but Pique and Busquets followed behind him, which relieved the defense in the backcourt.

Zhen Shaolong had the opposite idea, he saw an opportunity instead!

Originally, Zhen Shaolong wanted to use the two "Football Follow" effects accumulated in "Compulsory Copy" to forcibly erase Pique and Busquets, but when he found that the two were following behind together, he suddenly felt that skills should not be wasted.

When the football was about to reach his feet, Zhen Shaolong immediately started "Strike".

"Strike" is also a "football follow" effect, but "Strike" has the advantage that it can be triggered and used in advance, as long as the football is within one meter of the side.

Turning on "Strike" gave Zhen Shaolong the advantage of being "one step ahead". Neither Pique nor Busquets expected that Zhen Shaolong's stop and ball control would be so smooth, as if it didn't take up any time. When Zhen Shaolong turned around and rushed to the side , Pique was still looking for 'where is the ball', but Busquets went after Zhen Shaolong first, but his reaction was still a bit slow.

Zhen Shaolong started the sprint first.

Although there was still a physical collision with Butzkes in an instant, and the effect of "Strike" was over immediately, but the football had already reached his feet, he used the ball forward, and then chased after him with a step.

By the time he caught up with the ball, Butzkes had been thrown away by a full two meters.

The other Barcelona players were also five meters away.

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the goal, judged the distance, and immediately swung his right foot high.

"Boom!"

shoot!

The football soared into the sky, crossed a distance of 30 meters, and quickly flew to the upper left corner of the goal.

This is a theoretical dead end.

Valdez in front of the goal realized that Zhen Shaolong might shoot, but he still didn't expect that the opponent's shot was so fast and tricky. He made a save, but when he reached the position, the football had already rushed forward. Goal.

There was a moment of silence at the Camp Nou.

Correspondingly, the British BBC live broadcast went into a frenzy, and the commentator yelled hysterically, "The ball has been scored! The ball has been scored! Zhen Shaolong, a long-range shot!"

"Thirty meters! About thirty meters!"

"The moment Zhen Shaolong received the ball, he rushed up and threw Pique and Busquets away, and kicked the ball directly into the goal!"

"Good job!"

"beautiful!"

"The goal was very fast. The Barcelona fans were still celebrating the goal one moment, and Zhen Shaolong scored the goal the next moment!"

"Barcelona fans must have never imagined that their joy can only last for a short minute. Yes, it is less than a minute. The exact time is fifty-six seconds!"

"2 to 4!"

"Newcastle United widened the score gap again! This goal will probably bring a big blow to Barcelona..."

The blow was too great!

The Barcelona players looked at the goal in the goal, and their expressions were not very good. Some players had the urge to cry. They had just seen the hope of tying and regained some fighting spirit and morale, and the opponent quickly completed the goal. .

How to play this game?

Their whole team worked hard for a long time, but it was not as good as the opponent's performance in a few seconds!

Can you still play football normally?

They feel hopeless...
