Messi was very depressed watching Yang Yang rush out of the court excitedly and celebrate his second goal.

Because compared to Yang Yang's brilliant performance, he seemed very sluggish in this game.

It's not just him, the entire Barcelona team doesn't seem excited enough.

Is it a problem for the team to fight continuously?

There is indeed a reason for this, especially in the second half, but it is not all.

Before this game, Messi only played two games, namely, home against Santander Athletics. He played for 22 minutes on the bench and challenged Valencia away. He played for 35 minutes on the bench.

It can be said that he has not found his state yet, let alone the best state.

Rijcard arranged him in the hope that he could echo Ronaldinho, but this was exactly what Liverpool was most reluctant to do. Benitez arranged for Aveloa with his right foot to specifically guard him in this game.

How difficult is the Spanish?

In the entire first half, in the forty-five minutes, Barcelona had an overwhelming advantage in ball control, but Messi had only a pitifully few sixteen touches and twelve passes, most of which were on the wing.

Aveloa's defense is very devastating. He cuts off the passes to Messi from the middle and left. As long as Messi gets the ball on the side, he mainly blocks his inward line and allows him to be active on the side.

But what's so bad is that Messi's right foot cannot threaten at all.

Ronaldinho fell into an isolated situation on the left, and the midfield was suppressed in the middle, Saviola had never shown satisfactory strength, and Barcelona's entire midfield offense was almost paralyzed.

Messi really wants to make a difference, he really wants to help the team, but he can't do it.

Before the game, many Catalan media had high expectations for him. World Sports even believed that tonight would be Leo Night, but until now, it would be Yang Yang Night.

Or, this is a nightmare night in Barcelona!

…………

…………

Messi's helplessness is definitely not an isolated case, but the voice of many Barcelona stars.

They all worked very hard and wanted to perform better, but with the overall tactics being suppressed, they were really limited.

In this case, everyone hopes that Ronaldinho can transform into Superman like he did in the previous two seasons, breaking through Liverpool's steel defense line with amazing performances and winning Barcelona.

But it is obvious that Ronaldinho no longer has the magical magic of the past two years.

He was like a magician who had lost his magic wand, losing his magical magic power.

Etoo completely broke with the coaching staff and management and was banned from the roster. Rijcard has never been good at commanding on the spot. Messi is only nineteen years old and is too young. He lacks the ability and courage to take the team independently...

In the second half, Barcelona's most threatening opportunity came from Messi's pass from the left.

Saviola drifted past Carragher, broke into the penalty area and shot, but was saved by Reina.

After getting the ball, Messi broke through Aveloa horizontally and shot. He was a little too hasty and was blocked by Finnan, but he still failed to create a threat.

Judging from the various performances on the court, Barcelona has never come up with effective ways to change the situation.

On the contrary, after Liverpool reversed Barcelona two goals, he became more and more confident in playing. The team played steadily and kept a steady step in defense and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Barcelona's increasingly impatient minds continue to expose problems.

Soon, Liverpool seized another chance.

…………

…………

"Liverpool intercepted the ball in the midfield, Sissoko intercepted and passed it to Gerald."

"Gerard took the ball on the right and chose to lead himself forward."

"Liverpool launched a quick counterattack, and the trident in the frontcourt was put into the offense."

"Kuyt quickly penetrated the penalty area and opened the defense for Geraldra."

"Gerard arrived at the right side of the penalty area and made a cross directly to find Kuyt at the front point."

"Kuyt headed the ball..."

"Valdes flew to hit the ball."

"But the ball is still in the penalty area. Crouch won the first place and nodded, and the header reached the back point..."

...

When he was fighting back quickly, Yang Yang saw Gerald dribbling the ball quickly on the right, so he chose to fall behind.

This is to open up the defense in the penalty area and to create an offensive level.

But he was also confident that if Gerald crossed directly to the back point, he would insert it as soon as possible.

Gerald chose to look for Kuyt at the front point, but the Dutch striker's header was blocked by Valdes.

At this time, Yang Yang noticed Crouch, so he quickly rushed into the penalty area.

Sure enough, Crouch had an overwhelming advantage in height. Without a chance to shoot, he chose to head the ball to the back point. Yang Yang inserted it at this time and happened to get a big advantage.

Beletti followed Yang Yang closely, and Raphael Marcos was also constantly retreating, judging the landing point of the ball.

The two of them clamped Yang Yang in the middle, but they couldn't help but jumped higher.

Raphael Marcos is about the same height as Yang Yang, but he is retreating, while Yang Yang has a running-up distance, so after jumping up, Yang Yang is much taller than him.

As for Beletti behind him, he couldn't jump up at all.

After jumping up, the ball happened to come in front of him. Yang Yang quickly poked his head and hit the ball hard on his forehead.

The ball changed direction and flew directly into Barcelona's goal!

...

"Wow!!!"

"Oh God! The ball is in again!!!"

"hat trick!"

"hat trick!!"

"Oh my God, Yang Yang performed a hat trick!"

"And it's just a header he's the worst at!"

"This is simply incredible!"

"His bounce is really amazing, he is one head higher than Marcos. The Mexican central defender has no ability to compete for him at all, so he can only watch Yang Yang head the ball!"

"Three to one! Liverpool reversed Barcelona!"

...

After Yang Yang landed, he turned around immediately and rushed to the sidelines.

This is his third time gliding at the Camp Nou Stadium in this game.

The 95,000 Barcelona fans in the audience were silent, without booing, but without applause.

In fact, after scoring the third goal, Yang Yang was not too excited because the third goal came very coincidentally.

Of course, he did deliberately lag behind one step in advance and then suddenly insert it, which would make it more difficult for the players who defend him, but it was indeed a bit coincidental. The opportunities created by his teammates were really great, and it would be unreasonable not to enter.

Perhaps because he celebrated three times, or perhaps because the goal came too easily, Yang Yang was not as excited as the two times before. He just ran to the sidelines, waved his hand, turned around, and hugged his teammates who were catching up.

...

"Barcelona encountered a complete defeat!"

"This is definitely an unacceptable fact, but Liverpool did perform better and more active in this game, especially Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick at the Camp Nou Stadium!"

"Rijkaard should reflect on his tactics, because Ronaldinho and Messi were obviously restricted by Liverpool in this game, but as the team's head coach, whether it is Iniesta or Jiuli, they have not been able to change the situation of the frontcourt offense after they come on the court."

“This is definitely unqualified!”

"From one to zero to one to three, Barcelona suffered a nightmare reversal, especially at the Camp Nou Stadium, which can almost be said to have completely ruined the possibility of Barcelona's advancement from the quarterfinals."

"But no matter what, there is still the second round of the game. As long as Rijkaard can get the strongest Barcelona team, it will be an unknown."

"In contrast, Liverpool, Benitez's tactical attainments are indeed admirable. He suppressed Barcelona almost all the game, and Yang Yang's joining has greatly improved Liverpool's offensive ability."

"This hat trick tonight is the best example!"

...

After celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines, Yang Yang ran to the coach's seat of the visiting team and took the initiative to shake hands and hug Benitez, followed by chief assistant coach Yesterdam.

Yang Yang was full of respect for Benitez and Yesterdam.

Benitez is the best tactical accomplishment among the head coaches he has ever experienced. Espanyol has carefully considered everything that may happen on the court in almost every game.

Sometimes, Yang Yang even wondered whether this guy who looks very cold, mechanical, and doesn't have any expressions is really a robot?

Yesterdam is the opposite, this is a Spanish who always has a kind smile.

I really don’t know how these two people got together, and how can they cooperate so well?

After leaving the visiting team coach's seat, Yang Yang happened to run past Messi.

The Argentinian looked a little lonely, but Yang Yang still nodded and smiled at him politely.

Messi was a little surprised and nodded quickly, as a gift.

When you come and go on the court, you will be able to win or lose, but at least you must have politeness.

Yang Yang still clearly remembers that when he attended the FIFA awards ceremony in December, Ronaldinho joked when he saw Yang Yang that he and Messi were ready to wait for him at the Camp Nou.

The Brazilians at that time were still so energetic.

But who would have thought that in just two months, everything would have changed so surprisingly.

The unbreakable fortress will always be broken and disintegrated from the inside first.

As the defending Champions League champion, Barcelona not only lost to Liverpool, but more importantly, they lost to themselves.

Perhaps, from the moment Etoo faced the media and exposed the internal conflicts between the locker room and management, Barcelona had already lost.
