Felipe Luis thinks this to himself every time he defends Messi.
Before the game, head coach Gao Shen told him many times that Messi is very, very difficult to deal with.
He also watched Messi's videos and information and knew that the young Argentinian player was very difficult to deal with. But when it came to the game, he found that Messi was as slippery as a loach. As soon as he got the ball, it was difficult to guard him.
live.
No wonder famous players like Del Horno suffered big losses in front of him.
Fortunately, Felipe is no longer a fuel-efficient lamp.
In the past few months when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, he was highly used, fully trained, and his strength was further improved.
He was careful and cautious, and finally didn't give Messi too many opportunities.
As for the missed goal, it was actually Ramos’ fault!
After conceding the goal, Barcelona attacked very tightly. It seemed that they were not satisfied with just one goal, but wanted to score another goal.
This is a bit belittling!
Felipe Luis also felt a little angry.
Just now I just used Ramos's dynamism to steal a goal. Do you really think that Real Madrid's defense is weak?
Real Madrid's players basically thought the same way and quickly stabilized their position.
Felipe, with the cooperation of Gravesen, did not give Messi a chance to perform again.
But Barcelona's offense is still very active.
Not only Van Bronckhorst on the left, but also Belletti on the right pressed forward very actively.
When Belletti crossed the center line, Felipe saw that Raul was a little slow in returning to defense. He immediately wanted to move forward to intercept, but Belletti was already prepared and took the lead and passed the ball to the front.
Messi ran into the gap.
Felipe immediately turned around and ran back.
Messi just stopped the ball and turned around, and next to him was Graveson.
The Dane is short and very flexible. He immediately bullied Messi and forced the young Argentinian to move to the wing.
But at the same time, Felipe also immediately returned to defense, flanking Gravesen.
Just when two Real Madrid players intercepted Messi, the Argentine teenager suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. The ball was poked away by Graveson, and Felipe immediately turned around to chase it.
For a moment, there was a burst of boos in the stadium, apparently thinking that two Real Madrid defensive players had fouled.
Messi falling to the ground is the best evidence.
But the referee Hauge did not blow the whistle.
After Felipe turned around to catch up with the ball, he didn't hear the referee's whistle. He immediately looked ahead and kicked forward with a big kick.
The ball flew forward along Real Madrid's left wing and landed on the left side of Barcelona's 30-meter area.
I saw that Negredo had already leaned to the left after Raul retreated. After seeing his teammate pass the ball, he immediately ran over to receive it, blocked Puyol with his body, and protected the ball.
, and took a step back with his back, passing the ball to Raul who was cutting inside.
As soon as Raul stopped the ball, Puyol immediately abandoned Negredo and blocked Raul.
The Real Madrid captain chose to pass the ball back to Negredo, and after glancing at the left side, he quickly advanced into the penalty area.
I saw on the left side of Real Madrid, after passing the ball with big feet, Felipe quickly moved forward along the left line. Then I saw Negredo retreating to receive the pass from Raul. His speed did not slow down and continued to pass from Real Madrid.
The center forward flew past.
Negredo's pass was pushed forward by Felipe, who was sprinting quickly. He quickly got rid of Puyol and then passed the ball into the left side of the penalty area.
At this time, Raul had also rushed to the left side of the penalty area. As soon as he stopped the ball, he saw Marcos flying over. However, the Real Madrid captain also had experience. After stopping the ball, he made a move to hit the goal directly.
Everyone knows that Raul is a left-footed player. This shot frightened Marcos and made a blocking move. But unexpectedly, Raul dunked the ball with his left foot and then passed it gently.
I saw a white figure rushing up from the top of the penalty area, facing Raul's pass, and fired directly.
This shot was powerful and heavy, and the angle was very tricky, and it went directly into the lower right corner of the Barcelona goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"Zidane!!!"
"In the 34th minute, Zidane equalized the score for Real Madrid!"
…
"yeah!!!"
The moment Zidane scored, Gao Shen couldn't help but jump up with excitement and roared.
"Well done! Zinedine!"
After Gravesen and Felipe stole the ball just now, Gao Shen started to get excited.
Negredo protected the ball with his back, which was part of his plan. Then Raul received the ball and passed it back to Negredo, allowing Felipe to quickly step in and pass the ball. Later, Raul assisted
Zidane scores a goal.
This process is the player's on-the-spot performance.
Gao Shen is not a god. The most he can do is plan some coordination routines and tell the players how to play and which side to attack.
As for the players' on-the-spot performance, this is beyond Gao Shen's control.
It was as if he couldn't control Ramos's enthusiasm just now.
Barcelona players were chasing the referee Hauge to protest, pointing at Messi who was still lying on the ground, thinking that Real Madrid's interception of the ball just now was a foul. Graveson and Felipe violated Messi, which was a foul.
.
How can a counterattack goal after a foul be counted?
Gao Shen saw several Barcelona players gathered around him, and thought to himself, the decision will not be changed, right?
At this time, the experience of Raul and Real Madrid stars came into play.
Raul quickly rushed forward, separated the Barcelona players who were surrounding the referee, and signaled them to keep their distance from the referee.
Real Madrid's stars also gathered around.
After the referee Hauge got rid of the entanglement of the Barcelona players, he saw Gravesen kept saying in front of him that he had not committed a foul. Messi lost his balance and fell to the ground while dribbling the ball. It was not a foul at all.
Gao Shen actually didn't see clearly whether it was a foul or not, but none of that mattered.
The fans at the scene booed.
Barcelona fans were booing, Real Madrid fans were booing too.
After getting rid of the entanglement of the Real Madrid players, the referee Hauge signaled to the players of both teams that the goal was valid.
The defense just now was not considered a foul.
Gao Shen watched from the sidelines, smiled, raised his hands above his head, and clapped vigorously.
The score on the scoreboard quickly became one to one.
In fact, just now Graveson, Felipe and Messi had physical contact. In this case, it is difficult to tell whether it was a foul, because Messi broke through with the ball and had some idea of earning a free kick.
But experienced defensive players always have a way to make him fall to the ground without fouling.
Especially now that Messi's skills are indeed outstanding, but his body is still very thin.
In the next few years, he will further improve his upper body strength before he can transform into the Briquette King.

"Who would have thought that the Galaxy Battleship, which is packed with superstars, would actually launch a defensive counterattack."
In the chairman's stand, football legends Beckenbauer and Platini looked at the game in the stadium, and they both had a very absurd feeling. In the past, who would have believed that Real Madrid would actually play defensive counterattack.
?
What's even more incredible is that Real Madrid's defense is still so strong.
"This level is quite impressive." Platini praised with a smile.
Beckenbauer nodded, "He's just a little immature, and Real Madrid's lineup also limits him."
"Franz." Platini looked at Beckenbauer with a smile and asked curiously, "If you were coaching Real Madrid, what kind of tactics would you adopt?"
After hearing this, Beckenbauer adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled bitterly, "It must be a defensive counterattack."
After a pause, Beckenbauer added: "But I guess I won't use Negredo, I will use Ronaldo, the counterattack will be sharper, and I won't use Raul on the left, because he is still not fast enough during the counterattack."
.”
When counterattacking, having a fast player increases the threat exponentially.
But unfortunately, Raul is not such a player.
"If Real Madrid had fast players, I guess Rijkaard wouldn't be so rash." Platini is quite fond of Barcelona's passing and controlling style of play, which is different from his playing style.
It has to do with the style preference at the time.
In contrast, he doesn't like Real Madrid's defensive counterattack.
Geniuses always sympathize with geniuses.
Platini supports Zidane, but does not like Real Madrid's defensive counterattack. This is not a contradiction.
"Rijkaard was a little anxious tonight, probably because he lost the La Liga championship. Although he scored a goal, Barcelona's tactics were obviously strangled to death." Beckenbauer has a sharp vision.
Platini also had to nod, "The conflict between Rijkaard and Tenkat broke out at the wrong time. He still needs someone to help him."
Beckenbauer was convinced.
No one is 100% perfect. There will always be various shortcomings and weaknesses, which requires a team.
"Real Madrid's counterattack is very efficient. Look at that kid, he is still adjusting."
Platini followed Beckenbauer's gesture and looked towards the home team's coaching bench. He found Gao Shen standing on the sidelines with his right hand raised above his head, constantly drawing circles, as if conveying some signal to the players on the court.
.
Who knows if this is their secret code?
This scene is really weird.
Because Gao Shen is really too young.
In the history of the Champions League, there has never been a team with such a young head coach.
What's even more surprising is that Gao Shen actually led Real Madrid to the Champions League final.
Therefore, it feels really weird to see him directing and coordinating the play of a group of superstars who are older than him from the sidelines.
However, the Real Madrid players on the court were very convinced of Gao Shen.
Another Barcelona attack from the right.
Belletti was obviously more active than Van Bronckhorst. When passing the ball to Messi, Felipe stole the ball first.
Messi immediately counterattacked, got close to Felipe, and clung to the Brazilian player.
Felipe failed to launch a quick counterattack and immediately changed his mind, turned around to protect the ball, pinned Messi behind him with his body, and knocked the ball back to Gravesen who ran over to receive it.
As soon as the Danish midfielder stopped the ball, before Messi and Xavi could get closer, he quickly made a long pass with his right foot.
The ball flew over half of the stadium from the crowded left wing of Real Madrid and landed on the right wing of the Real Madrid stadium.
With no one on guard, Arbeloa moved forward to near the midline, stopped the ball forward with his chest, and dribbled the ball past the midline.
