Lionel Messi is sitting on the bench of the away team.

He is actually very unfamiliar with the bench.

In the 2014-15 season, he played 57 games for Barcelona and 14 games for Argentina (including 2015 Copa America). In 71 games, he only served as a substitute in the 17th round of the league, and all the other 56 games were started.

And this only substitute... Barcelona lost the ball (0-1 Real Sociedad).

This defeat was said to have ignited the conflict between Messi and Enrique. The two of them were even revealed to have reached a point where they were incompatible. However, it was from this defeat that both the entire Barcelona team and Messi personally ushered in a huge peak and climax!

In the league, Champions League, and the Cup of Rey, Messi spent an extremely successful season at the club, but the summer that followed, he once again fell to a low!

His Argentina fell once again one step away from the championship!

His team lost to Chile. In the entire competition, Messi, who is known as the world's number one football king... actually scored only a penalty!

Before he could enjoy the honor of being a three-time crown, he was overwhelmed by criticism, questioning, ridicule and ridicule!

The peaks and troughs of 71 games, like roller coasters, have already exhausted Messi physically and mentally. Enrique chose to let him rest properly, and in terms of original intention, there was no mistake.

What's more... Messi has never been a physical madman like Ronaldo and Lampard!

But... Messi, sitting on the bench, still felt a strong sense of reluctance.

He clenched his fists tightly, but a man with fluttering blonde hair and a few freckles on his face flashed in his eyes.

-

“GOOOOOL!”

A cheerful and excited voice echoed over Calderon Stadium:

"In the first minute of the game, Atletico Madrid scored a goal! The goalkeeper...Fernando..."

The broadcaster on the scene deliberately delayed his voice, and 50,000 fans stomped their feet and shouted out:

“…Torres!”

-

"Torres, who returned to Atletico Madrid, is becoming more and more demonic as he gets older. Many people questioned that he has lost the feeling of scoring, but he hit back with one goal in every way. He has scored similar lightning goals against Real Madrid and Barcelona last season."

Commentator He Wei said with some emotion:

"The former Spanish Golden Boy has regained his confidence in his old club. Although he can only take on the rotation here, he has handed in beautiful data of two goals and two passes in the first three games of the league..."

Xu Yang smiled and continued:

"Messi and Ronaldo combined are not as much as Torres enters!"

-

Amid the cheers of more than 50,000 home fans, Torres slid down without hesitation to celebrate, and his teammates from behind were equally excited to hug him.

The lightning goal came too suddenly. Barcelona made a mistake in the midfield pass. Felipe intercepted the ball and made a cross along the right side. Torres stretched out his right foot before Mascherano and lightly shot the ball into the net!

Football tactics are complex, but sometimes they are very simple. You only need two people to cooperate in one go, and you may be able to penetrate the opponent's goal!

-

Looking at Torres celebrating, Busquets shook his head helplessly.

If the coach hadn't given the repeated instructions, he had almost put all his attention on Chen Hao, how could this cross allow Mascherano to face Torres, a 1.74-meter-long defender?

Enrique on the sidelines was also a little helpless.

This national team match week not only allowed the core ace Messi to overdraw, but also caused Barcelona to lose several first-team players, including No. 1 goalkeeper Bravo, main defenders Pique and Alves, which was equivalent to the collapse of the defense line for most of the day.

Conceding the ball may be an unexpected thing, but he just didn't expect that conceding the ball would come so early!

-

But Enrique doesn't need to be too surprised, because he will feel even more helpless next time!

After conceding the ball, Barcelona quickly organized the offensive. They gradually advanced to Atletico Madrid's half-court area with continuous precise passes.

In the nearly ten minutes of their possession, Atletico Madrid players couldn't even touch the shadow of the ball!

Compared to Guardiola's era, although Barcelona under Enrique lacked the midfielder's brain, Xavi, the team's passes seem to be more efficient and smooth!

Iniesta suddenly made a straight pass at the top of the penalty area. Suarez, who turned his head and ran, caught up with the football along the right rib of the penalty area, preparing to pass it to Neymar who was circumventing in front of the goal. However, the football he passed failed to cross Atletico Madrid's defense line, but hit Jimenez's elbow that was pressed against his waist!

Suarez immediately slapped his arm and appealed to referee Raos:

"Handball! Foul! Penalty!"

But the referee ignored the complaint of the Uruguayan striker and turned his head and ran in another direction!

Atletico Madrid has launched a counterattack!

-

Jimenez's elbow bounced the ball out of the penalty area, and the old captain Gabi quickly protected the landing point and passed the ball to left back Juan Fran.

Fran took advantage of the situation to get rid of Barcelona midfielder Rafinia who was trying to block himself, and then gave a quick pass forward.

"Atlanie Madrid's fast attack! Just three passes and two passes, it has already crossed the center line! Passing from Cork from the left! Chen Hao dribbled the ball and broke through!"

The commentator He Wei was excited. This was the scene where he had been waiting for more than ten minutes!

"Chen Hao and Torres beat two in two! Can Vermalen and Mascherano complete this difficult defensive task?"

-

Busquets was trying his best to chase him back. Although he looked a little clumsy in his movements, he would be thriving once his long legs were thrown away and his speed was not slow at all.

But he still couldn't catch up with Atletico Madrid No. 11 player who was driving the ball!

Chen Hao is already at the city, and the one who stands in front of him is Barcelona defender Vermullen!

-

Mascherano has no choice. He has been implicated by Torres. No matter how important Chen Hao is, he cannot give up his defensive goal and instead help another teammate.

So, he watched Chen Hao's legs sway strangely in the left and right directions, and even drove the ball out of Vermullen's defensive area!

Chen Hao first used his outer instep to push the ball to the right, luring Vermalen's center of gravity to tilt outward, and then swept the ball to the left with his inner instep, completing a textbook-like move!

The ox's tail is extraordinary!

The caught off guard, Vermallen could no longer maintain balance during the two consecutive shifts of gravity, and fell backwards with his legs in his arms!

"Beautiful! This time it's so amazing!"

He Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

He wanted to scramble to think about how to praise this time, but he had to return to the work of explanation immediately:

"Chen Hao formed a single sword! He faced Ter Stegen directly! What would he do?"

Chen Hao, who broke into the penalty area, didn't need to consider the way of shooting. He rubbed his arch directly, and a black and white arc rotated toward the upper corner of the goal!

Ter Stegen just raised his arms symbolically and hung them helplessly!

2-0!
Chapter completed!
