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

That may have a bigger blow to Messi.

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

On the other side.

In the Newcastle United locker room, the atmosphere seemed very relaxed, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Head coach Kevin Keegan praised all the players, "Everyone performed very well, but we have to keep working hard, we'd better still be ahead by the end!"

That means victory.

Keegan's praise is sincere, and Zhen Shaolong's performance needs no need to say, "God possessed" can't be described, and other players are also quite good, especially in the subsequent time, taking advantage of Barcelona's absence, the team can play an offensive and find opportunities to complete the goal, which is quite worthy of praise.

Keegan also talked about his second half style of play, and his main meaning was, "Just play like this!"

"We need to continue to strengthen our defense."

After praising all the players and talking about the adjustments in the second half, Keegan stood in the small window and looked at the fans and the stadium outside. Thinking that he might defeat Barcelona, ​​he suddenly felt an excitement surge from the depths of his heart.

Yes.

excited.

Keegan originally thought that losing the concept of football and coaching with a utilitarian winning and losing mentality would mean losing the integrity and soul of coaching. He completely regarded coaching as a job and would no longer have any emotional color to invest in. However, when the team achieved good results, especially when he could beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou, he felt the sense of accomplishment of winning.

Is that what success brings?

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

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

"Success? No. This is not my success, this is the success of stealing!"

Keegan feels guilty.

Suddenly, 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's sin!

The second half began soon.

Amid the cheering of the pool fans around, Barcelona players rekindled their fighting spirit, continued to master the control of the game, and continuously controlled the football, and immediately suppressed Newcastle United in the half.

Barcelona launched an attack.

The first wave of offense lasted nearly three minutes. Although he failed to score in the end, it was also an extremely excellent skill to keep the opponent unable to get the ball.

That will despair the opponent.

Fortunately, Newcastle United has a good mentality, so they have long been mentally prepared. With two goals leading, they will definitely stabilize the defense line and try not to give their opponents any chance.

Barcelona quickly regained control of the ball and continued to suppress Newcastle United. Their performance was obviously much better than the follow-up time in the first half.

They regained their fighting spirit, their state, and their habitual rhythm.

Every player performed well.

Messi is the same.

The fifteen minutes of the midfield were enough to make people think calmly. Messi had figured it out. The opponent was indeed very outstanding, so outstanding that it made the opponent feel desperate.

So what?

What does it have to do with him?

If he put his mentality a few years ago, many players in the world were better than him, and he would never have thought that he would be able to reach this point now.

So, keep a calm mind.

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

Now all he has to do is to perform hard.

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

That's all.

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

A successful breakthrough!

Wonderful pass!

In the 52nd minute of the game, Messi almost helped the team score a goal by using his personal performance. Unfortunately, Hleb's shot was a bit weak in the end, and the football flew into the bottom line against the post.

“Hula…”

The fans around looked at the pool fans sighed regretfully.

It doesn't matter!

There is still a lot of time!

Barcelona rekindled their morale and launched waves of offensives.

Middle Circle.

Zhen Shaolong stood in the middle, motionless, like a statue standing on his stance. Unlike other teammates' nervous mood, he let out a long sigh, "It's normal now!"

"Messi should have performed so well!"

As long as Messi can make continuous breakthroughs, it can help accumulate the breakthrough effect of "Forced Copy". No matter how dense the defense is around him, it is not an insurmountable obstacle.

Messi's performance is indeed excellent.

In the 61st minute of the game, Messi received a pass from the front of the penalty area. Anyone thought he would continue to pass, either to pass back to his teammates, or to kick the penalty area with one kick. Unexpectedly, he would turn around and take him.

Facing the pinched attack from Gene and Gremy, Messi dribbled the ball and passed through the two.

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

"Bang!"

The football instantly rushed to the left side of the goal.

Goalkeeper Ji Wen's reaction speed was quite fast and his save judgment was very accurate, but he still couldn't defend his shot from such a close range.

"The ball has entered!"

"Messi! Messi!"

"He completed a breakthrough at the front of the penalty area and sent the ball into Newcastle's goal!"

"The score on the court has become 2-3! Barcelona has recovered one goal, and they are only one goal behind!"

On the field.

Barcelona did not celebrate too excitedly. Messi was just a rival who came to clap and immediately ended the celebration and prepared to start the game again.

They were still one goal behind, but it was not time to celebrate.

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

The first half of the game was depressing.

Barcelona fans feel the same as fans. They were shocked by Zhen Shaolong's performance and felt that they might lose the game. Barcelona's performance is not bad, but what can I do if the opponent is too powerful?

Is there any more amazing ball than this when I dribbled the ball in the middle circle?

Barcelona fans were shocked.

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

The most important thing for people is hope.

As long as there is hope, there will be motivation, expectations, and mood. On the contrary, without hope, there is despair.

At this time, the Camp Nou Stadium was full of hope. If you don’t know the game on the court, just look at the fans’ excitement, you might think Barcelona is leading the score.

The shouts from the fans in the stands were also very excited-

"Barcelona, ​​come on!"

"Come on Messi!"

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

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

The ball rights are also in the joint efforts of Newcastle.

Michael Irving was standing in the middle circle, stepping on the football to prepare for the kickoff.

Zhen Shaolong stood beside him, staring at the goal in the distance, pondering, "Six seconds are a bit not enough!"

"never mind!"

Zhen Shaolong shook his head.
