231 Messi debuts
At the same time, the two of them also pulled Torres over, discussed a few words in a low voice, and patted his butt gently. Torres ran to the penalty area happily and began to push desperately.
This time the two people seemed to be preparing to cooperate with Torres in tactical cooperation, but with Mark's direct free kick level, he would not miss the opportunity to shoot directly with every free kick.
"If you want to pass the ball, look for Torres?" Puyol sneered and gestured to Valdes, saying that he would cover it later, Valdes attacked and got the ball.
The whistle sounded, and Portillo suddenly rushed out of the penalty area. Marquis, who was in charge of the defense, dared not neglect and followed him quickly. Mark assisted a few steps and made a curve with his right foot, but it was not the expected high ball, but a low ball.
Could it be a shot? Puyol was stunned for a moment. Valdes hesitated for a moment and retreated to the goal.
Torres suddenly moved. In the chaotic penalty area, Puyol could no longer keep up with him. "Victor!" Puyol shouted Valdes' name, hoping that his attack could block Torres's shot.
Torres stretched out his right foot and shot?
The ball did not touch Torres' right foot. To be precise, Torres had no desire to change the ball's route at all. He was just a cover.
Puyol and Valdes, who were shaken twice in a row, were no longer able to change anything. They could only watch the football rebound and flew into the goal.
This time, Torres and Van der Fate were just cooperating with Mark. In the end, Mark had to make a direct free kick. In Cooper's tactics, Mark's direct free kick was an indispensable scoring method for Atletico Madrid.
This time the goal was beyond the expectations of most Barcelona players. Torres would actually be regarded as an offensive contact point this time without a direct shot.
Mark's free throw speed is also very tricky. With Mark's superb free kick skills, if he can't score such a good opportunity, he will be a little bit unlucky.
Although Atletico Madrid had wasted several opportunities before, they would not waste such good opportunities this time.
"Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
After scoring the goal, Mark held his shoulders and stood on the court. At this time, Mark was like a hero with a satisfied smile and waited for his teammates to come up to bless him.
"Mark, you guys, how could you always score such a beautiful goal? You stole my limelight." Soon, everyone in Madrid led by captain Torres, ran over and threw Mark on the ground and played the game of stacking arhats.
"Help...!" Mark also shouted faintly under the crowd, but the shout seemed to be directly ignored by the excited Atletico Madrid players.
In the stands, the tens of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans also suddenly became excited. They used the shouts of the few people to make the entire Camp Nou only hear their shouts.
The Camp Nou Stadium is the nightmare for most La Liga teams this season. Most La Liga teams have been killed by Barcelona here, but Atletico Madrid can lead the score here, which is very difficult.
This also made Atletico Madrid fans very happy, because although there was no grudge between them and Barcelona, they were still considered competitors to win the championship. If Atletico Madrid could defeat Barcelona in this game, the gap between the two teams would be only four points, that is, the difference between the two games.
Above the court, on the big screen, clearly displayed, Atletico Madrid 1:0 Barcelona, 55 minutes, Mark.
Cooper breathed a sigh of relief, scored, and finally scored...
Cooper's insistence on formation finally got the lead in the score. In fact, Cooper also knew that the defense side was under great pressure. If he could not use counterattacks to score for a long time, the players would have certain doubts about the head coach's tactics. Such doubts would also give the players the possibility of collapse at the last moment.
Rijkaard sat down dejectedly and gave Atletico Madrid a lead in just ten minutes of the second half. This was a blow to his tactics just adjusted.
Originally, Larson was replaced to strengthen the attack, but Barcelona did not expect that the goal was not scored, but Atletico Madrid. This result was something that Rijkaard could not accept.
"Leo, you're ready to play and replace Juli," Rijkaard said to a small player on the bench.
Soon the fourth official took out the sign of substitution, No. 8 Jiuli was out, and Messi appeared on the 19th.
This is Jacarde's second substitution in this game. This is not a real counter-substitution, because Messi's main position at this time should be the left winger, which is the position Ronaldinho played. Messi occasionally tried to kick on the right.
However, Rijcard deeply understands that in Barcelona's lineup, Ronaldinho's position cannot be moved, because Ronaldinho is the tactical core he sets. If Ronaldinho is replaced, he will lose the tactical core above the team. At the same time, it will not be so easy to re-establish the tactical core.
If everyone can play the tactical core, Ronaldinho will not be able to become that superstar. It is because of his irreplaceable nature that shows his status.
Messi was doing his final warm-up on the sidelines at this time. This man born in Argentina and grew up eating carrots and beef in the country with the best beef in the world. He was a genius who had dwarfism at the age of ten and was ready to play.
This is not the first time Messi has played for Barcelona, because last season Messi has already started to play for Barcelona's first team. He is also an outstanding representative of Barcelona's youth training system Lamacia's youth training base.
Messi is also a very lucky player, because although Messi had dwarfism when he was ten years old, Messi's family was unable to pay for them that it was a huge monthly cost of injecting growth hormone. The cost of injecting growth hormone is about 900 US dollars a month, and it is probably always necessary to inject Messi into adulthood.
Messi was already a member of the junior team of Newways, and he was the best player in the entire junior team. However, the club at that time might not want to waste money on a young man with uncertain future, or perhaps there were too many talented players in Argentina, so Messi was in a tragedy. In addition, the River Plate team, one of the Argentine twos who had a good impression of Messi, heard that there was no dwarfism and he ignored Messi. Messi had two choices, one was to retire, and the other was to find money to inject growth hormone every month. This seems to be unfortunate.
But Messi was lucky. He met the first noble person in his life, that is, Tournini, who often looks for talented young players in South America. Barcelona can always find some good seedlings in South America to enrich their youth team, such as their midfielder Mota, who joined the Barcelona youth team from Juventus Tude in Brazil.
"I spent a lot of time convinced Barcelona club, and I promised Messi's family that he would not change his nationality." Turnini also recalled very proudly in his interview with Messi when he became famous later: "This is the most proud gambling in my life." With the help of Tournini, Messi moved his family to Barcelona. The then Barcelona sports director Rexac signed with him without hesitation after watching Messi's training and games, and arranged for the club to treat him. At this moment, Messi's path to superstar finally opened.
In addition, Barcelona Club also provided Messi's father with a job at Barcelona Club, which solved the problem of Messi's family's life in Barcelona.
Such actions are very important, because people will always recall the help others have given him when they are most lost. If you receive a drop of favor from others, you will be rewarded with this. This is the reason.
If Messi really becomes famous in the future, if he is preparing to transfer, I believe Messi will not take the initiative to make a move with the club. As long as they have a little conscience, they should know how Barcelona treated them at his lowest point.
Messi's luck is not here, but also on the court, while Messi's youth team's good friend Fabregas is still waiting for the opportunity to play.
Messi had already played for Barcelona last season. He not only played in the cup, but also played in the league, becoming the youngest league appearance record in Barcelona's history.
At this time, Rijcard obviously believed that Messi had the ability to rewrite the score. Under Ronaldinho's fight in Mark, Messi's offense on the right could share Ronaldinho's responsibilities in the offense.
Rijkaard also patiently explained the tactics he needs to pay attention to after he plays, and at the same time, Messi also made his teammates on the court calmly and pay more attention to cooperation.
In Rijkaard's eyes, Atletico Madrid's previous goal was lucky. If Mark hadn't been able to play that weird free kick with great penetration, Barcelona would not have been behind in the score at this time.
However, Rijkald also knew that there were naturally some problems with his substitution, because he was a little reckless in replacing the midfielder Ed Milson.
But Rijkaard also has difficulties because he cannot score goals in front of the home Barcelona fans. Barcelona's football is smooth in offense and then wins the big score.
So when the midfield substitution was substituted, it was obvious that Rijkaard also wanted to take a gambling method to play the second half. Rijkaard wanted to hope that Deko and Xavi's defense could control the midfield.
He also hopes to defend more in the second half of Atletico Madrid, but it is obvious that Rijkaard was a little wrong. He did not know Cooper very well, because Rijkaard rarely played against Cooper before.
He should have only played in La Liga once before, so Rijkaard was not very clear about Cooper's tactical style. He did not expect that Cooper would start to do the opposite in the second half. Suddenly, the players started to attack sharply just after the start of the second half.
Then he also took advantage of a free kick to score, which should be something that Rijkaard did not expect, but things have been like this. Rijkaard can only hope that his players can remain calm in the next game.
Ronaldinho can remain calm, but his personal calmness cannot cover up the team's impatientness. When Etoho forced a shot and shot the plane again, Ronaldinho felt that the prospect of winning was very slim.
Etoo is a very characterful player. He is in very good shape this season, but it may be because Atletico Madrid's defense against him also made Etoo very depressed. Perea's body is not much worse than Etoo, and there are also teammates who assist in defense that Franco, who is expected to have a very large range of activities, so there is naturally no problem in defending Etooo now.
After Messi appeared as a substitute Jiuli, he also showed his strong offensive strength. After Messi got the ball from the wing, he quickly broke through with his speed and skills.
"Little dance, good, good," Barcelona fans in the stands also shouted. They all had a great impression of this little guy from the youth team.
"This little guy is really powerful." Lopez also felt Messi's strength at this time. He felt that Messi's fake moves were very fast. If he didn't keep a serious watch, he might be able to pass by him at any time.
If Ronaldinho is the representative of that kind of fancy football, then Messi should be the representative of that kind of practical football. Although Messi cannot be compared with a player like Ronaldinho at this time, the gap between the two sides will be narrowed with the rich experience of the game.
And the most important thing is that players like Ronaldinho attach great importance to him on the whole planet. They are very careful when guarding Ronaldinho, for fear of being overtaken by Ronaldinho. However, for Messi, the players of Atletico Madrid seem relatively unfamiliar.
A new generation of players like Messi, who only appeared twice last season, naturally cannot be one of the players who are focusing on defense by head coach Cooper.
So after Messi came on the court, Barcelona gradually moved the focus of the offense to the right, and Ronaldinho did not participate in the offense, and it was all left to Messi alone in the offense.
This made Atletico Madrid gradually move the focus of defense to the left, but at this moment Messi suddenly passed the ball.
Messi passed the football directly to Xavi in the middle, and then Xavi passed the football directly to Ronaldinho without stopping the ball. Ronaldinho had already run to the side at this time, and Mark did not press on him. At this time, Mark should also pay attention to protecting the defensive formation in the middle. It was such an negligence that made Ronaldinho receive the football.
This is the inherent routine of Barcelona's offense. In fact, Messi's offense is just a cover. If Messi can really open up the situation, that's good. If it cannot open up the situation, then facing Atletico Madrid, which is gradually moving the left, the appropriate transfer of the ball is undoubtedly a key to breaking Atletico Madrid's tenacious defense line.
Ronaldinho didn't want to give up at this time. After receiving Xavi's pass, he wiped the somewhat relaxed Velasco, and Mark also ran over to make up for defense against Ronaldinho.
Originally, defending Ronaldinho was an important task for Mark in this game. At this time, Mark was also analyzing while observing Ronaldinho's movements.
Mark saw Ronaldo stepping on a bicycle, not as fancy as Denilson, but even more threatening. In Mark's eyes, every time he stepped on it, he felt a little more pressure.
Suddenly, Ronaldo stopped. The moment of pause made Mark a little confused, but, the next thing he knew immediately.
With a pick-through, Ronaldo's precise control is fully reflected in this ball.
This time Mark's defense has done what he can do, because Mark mainly defends Ronaldinho's breakthrough. For world-class stars who are defending world-class players, they cannot defend both the opponent's breakthrough and the opponent's cross.
If Mark was really that versatile, then Mark would become the world's number one. Although Mark was confident that he would do this in the future, it was not now. At least Mark did not have the ability to do this.
However, Mark also tried his best to block Ronaldinho's cross, and Mark also felt that his leg should have touched Ronaldinho's cross.
It seemed that Mark's touch also slightly changed the football route. It was this slightly changed route that happened completely differently. Etoo and rushed in and rushed to the top!
The ball was too straight, and Franco got the ball without moving. He looked at Etoo, who looked anxious, then looked at Larson with a helpless look, and knew what was going on.
"What is Eto'o doing?" Rijkald was about to go wild. A discerning person could tell at a glance that this ball was not for him, but for Larson who was in the back point. The original good scoring opportunity was wasted by Eto'o.
Chapter completed!
