75. Chapter 72 See you next round? I don't want to see you anymore(2/2)
If Mascherano hadn't caught up in time and destroyed the ball first, Ronaldo might not have been able to get another one-on-one opportunity with Valdez!
This time Real Madrid's counterattack attempt also shocked countless Barcelona fans into cold sweats.
Barcelona's strong attack just now made them excited, and they almost forgot about the ultra-fast counter-attack tactics developed by Real Madrid last season.
This is a unique skill that fits almost perfectly with the current Real Madrid lineup.
The Barcelona players, who almost suffered a big loss, also stepped up their guard against Ronaldo somewhat in their vigilance.
After the rhythm completely slowed down, the Real Madrid defenders, who were not concerned about their mental and physical fatigue, suddenly exerted their strength and forced Barcelona's ball control area back to near the midline.
A few minutes later, when the referee finally blew the halftime whistle, Real Madrid's fans, players, and coaching staff all felt confident!
Not only did they take the lead in the first half, they also withstood Barcelona's siege and almost controlled the rhythm on both offense and defense!
This was a scene that was rarely seen in previous games between the two teams.
Today, with the cooperation of Brother Long and Angel, Li Ang, who achieved a very good defensive effect against Messi, also received heartfelt praise and hugs from his teammates at this moment!
Before the game, when Mourinho arranged for Leon to focus on Messi instead of Alonso, the Real Madrid team was actually quite worried.
After all, although my brother Long is a little slower, his defensive experience is still much better than that of Li Ang.
Li Ang has never faced off against Messi before. Is it really feasible for him to defend the number one player in football?
As a result, after half a half, all the players in the Real Madrid team were convinced.
It can only be said that Mourinho's vision of judging people is really great.
Li Ang's quick reaction and good position selection allow him to always block Messi's inward route when facing Messi alone.
And his ability to entangle also made Messi play very awkwardly.
Today, with the "match" between Li Ang and Messi, Barcelona's offensive power has been greatly reduced. This is really important for Real Madrid.
However, even though he received 100% praise from his teammates, Li Ang still did not escape the punishment of Uncle Psy's hair dryer.
After hanging his neck and being scolded for two minutes, Li Ang received a few words of encouragement from Mourinho.
In the subsequent tactical adjustments, Mourinho also asked his disciples to pay attention to Barcelona's offensive and defensive transition opportunities in the second half while playing hard.
Yes, he did not blindly emphasize the need to hold on to a one-goal lead, but continued to do the opposite.
"When they further intensify their offense and even press the backcourt, we will counterattack with long passes to hit behind their defense! Angel, Karim, you two must start running by then! Disrupt their defense.
Deploy and attract their defensive firepower, and then, Cristiano, I want you to win with one blow!"
Mourinho almost put all the burden of the final goal on Ronaldo, and Li Ang could clearly see that the strong fire of fighting in Ronaldo's eyes became even more raging and difficult to extinguish.
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona really strengthened its manpower on the offensive end.
Before any substitutions were made, Barcelona's full-backs on the left and right wings almost all moved to both sides of the center line.
Sanchez and Villa basically pressed into Real Madrid's penalty area, and Messi and Iniesta, who began to attack with all their strength, looked for opportunities with the ball.
Only now did Li Ang truly feel the terrifying strength of Messi at his peak.
In the mutual offensive and defensive testing in the first half, he touched some of Messi's playing habits, but didn't Messi touch some of his defensive habits?
Messi, who didn't care about physical exertion for the time being, taught him a hard lesson with his unparalleled pace.
However, Li Ang's mental endurance also exceeded Messi's imagination.
After being passed, he still chased back with all his strength without any shame. Li Ang was always able to make the most reasonable choices on the defensive end.
Of course, Messi is already in his best form at this moment.
Several times, he almost beat Li Ang cleanly, and got a chance to shoot before Li Ang could defend again.
But such a shot was too hasty. Messi, who was uncomfortable playing, could only say that he threatened the goal guarded by Casillas, but he was still a long way from scoring.
"I can lose to you today, Leo, but the winner today will only be Real Madrid! And I will drag you until the last minute, the last second!"
After another forced interference forced Messi to pass the ball across the ball, Li Ang gasped and for the first time in the game put away his smile and said harsh words to Messi.
He doesn't care about the issue of face. If he can't guard Messi, then he will pester him to death!
Messi's physical fitness can only be said to be average at his peak. Li Ang will try his best to consume Messi's physical fitness in non-threatening areas.
Even if he has to expend twice or more physical energy to fight Messi, he is not afraid.
And Messi, who saw Li Ang's determination, was really mentally exhausted.
Sixty minutes have passed since the game started, and Li Ang is still clinging to him!
Feeling that he was being depleted faster than usual, and with very little physical energy left at the moment, Messi had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.
In the 62nd minute, Guardiola made two substitutions in a row, bringing on both Xavi and Pedro, further strengthening the team's offensive.
In the 67th minute, Pedro, who had just come on the field, passed Ramos in a sudden attack, and then made a cross to the back of Real Madrid's goal!
Villa, who followed up, grabbed a point when being guarded by the taller Pepe!
Cassie's save was a little too late, but Villa, under the pressure of Pepe, put the ball on the goal post!
Guardiola, who was already ready to celebrate the equalizer, covered his head and shouted excitedly!
Messi and Iniesta, who were watching the outcome of the attack from outside the penalty area, covered their faces in surprise and annoyance!
The football that popped up was swept towards his left wing by Li Ang who chased him into the penalty area.
His original intention was to make a clearance first, but he didn't expect that Marcelo, who came back to defend, saved the ball just before it went out!
Di Maria and Benzema will ignore their physical fatigue and start pushing forward.
And Marcelo didn't hesitate much after turning around, and directly sent a smooth counterattack long pass!
Harvey yelled at his teammates to get back on defense.
At this moment, Benzema, who had already moved forward and secured his position, decisively turned his back and withstood Keita's interference.
His header ferry unexpectedly did not pass the ball to Di Maria, but to Kaká, who was also advancing in the middle of the midfield at the moment!
"Pass the ball!"
Mourinho roared excitedly off the court.
And Li Ang also clearly saw a fatal threat route at this moment.
Between Kaka and Ronaldo, there is Mascherano who is returning to defense, but he can pass the ball as long as the ball is fast enough!
In the next moment, Kaka started to hit the ball directly as Li Ang predicted!
The ball was playing very fast, and Mascherano, who tried his best to intercept the ball during the pursuit, did not touch the ball.
The football also successfully penetrated Barcelona's defense and rolled towards Ronaldo.
At this moment, Ronaldo successfully got rid of Abidal, who was lagging behind Barcelona!
Facing Valdez again, Ronaldo did not panic. He even stopped the ball first and adjusted his pace.
When Valdes was about to attack, Cristiano Ronaldo calmly used his left foot to push the ball directly into the far corner of the goal!
The football skimmed Valdez's toes against the turf and finally hit the far post.
Inside!
When the football bounced into the net, and once again the white net rippled in the Barcelona goal, the cheers at the Bernabeu were like waves coming, sweeping the entire field and soaring into the sky!!!
Ronaldo took off his jersey and started running and roaring near the baseline!
One after another Real Madrid fans at the scene were roaring with the same excitement at this moment. In the face of the upcoming victory over Barcelona, they completely lost their calmness and reason!
Mourinho still looked like he was suppressing his passion, but his smiling eyes completely betrayed his current mood.
In the Real Madrid backcourt at this moment, Yu was among the Real Madrid players who were excitedly rushing to the frontcourt in carnival.
A slightly calmer, but equally cheerful figure ran past Messi and left a message to Messi, who was standing with his arms crossed.
"Leo, see you next time~"
Messi looked at the back of Real Madrid No. 10, who was gradually going away, but he held his forehead in pain and roared in his heart.
"See you next time? I never want to see you again!"
