He didn't stop the ball at all, he just flicked his ankle!
The ball crossed Inter Milan's defense, and then people saw Messi appear where the ball landed.
"Beautiful, this is a tacit understanding!"
"This is Barcelona's attack, very pleasing to the eye!" the Catalan commentator shouted triumphantly.
When Messi stopped the ball, he poked his toe slightly, and the ball rolled past Samuel, who was rushing to defend.
Then Messi twisted his waist, passed Samuel, and rushed forward!
"pretty!"
"Messi! Messi! He is Barcelona's outstanding player this season! He is the future of Barcelona!"
***********
Li Ang also frowned on the sidelines. It is indeed Messi. In such a narrow space, his skills are amazing. If anyone wants to say who is the best at moving around in a narrow space, Li Ang would say it is this Argentine player!
However, Messi's path forward ends here.
He wanted to continue dribbling, but found that he encountered an interceptor!
Carlos appeared diagonally in front of him. Carlos didn't press forward, he just stayed in his passing route, also to avoid being dunked by Messi.
The football is at Messi's feet. The Argentine star rides a bicycle several times in a row. However, he has to admit that it is not easy to get past the Spanish international. Carlos is very steady.
Since you can't get past it, then force yourself to break through!
The body tilted to the left, then turned around suddenly, trying to move forward. While deceiving Carlos to shift his center of gravity, he suddenly pulled the football back and dodged!
space!
Messi saw the space to pass the ball, and with a flick of his ankle, he was about to pass the football!
In his sight, Eto'o has already started to move. As long as the ball is passed, with the strength of the Cameroonian, it is very likely that he will get a chance to shoot!
However, the next second, a foot appeared in Messi's sight!
***********
Bang!
A muffled sound!
Football has reached the bottom line!
"Carlos! Carlos! He blocked the football while losing his center of gravity!"
"Beautiful! Messi's skills with his feet are extremely good, but in the end, he still couldn't get past Carlos!"
pretty!
On the sidelines, Li Ang waved his fist and applauded Carlos's successful defense.
Barcelona gets a corner kick!
Rijkaard shook his body regretfully, it would have been nice if the ball had been passed in!
Rijkaard has a relatively clear understanding of the corner kicks his team received.
Barcelona has never been a team that is good at taking advantage of corner kick opportunities to score headers, especially when facing a team like Inter Milan that has excellent defense against high-altitude balls.
Barcelona's corner kick, the corner kick was taken into the penalty area, the football was pushed out of the baseline by Samuel, Barcelona's corner kick opportunity continued on the other side!
***********
"Barcelona gets corner kicks in a row! This is their chance when they can't make a breakthrough in sports battles!"
In the corner kick on this side, this time, Barcelona did not choose to hoist the football into the penalty area, but played a short corner kick tactic.
After several passes, the football reached Henry's feet. He saw a passing route, but when he decided to do so.
He found that he could not pass the football directly.
Because Evra happened to be stuck between him and Xavi, and he also took care of Gianluca Zambrotta who came to meet him from the wing.
If he passes the ball directly, the ball may be intercepted by Evra.
Finally, Henry looked at the penalty area, and on a whim, he made a pick pass.
The football is passed in!
However, Inter Milan seemed to be well prepared for this. Chivu got ahead of Eto'o and pushed the football out.
Not only did he successfully defend Barcelona's attack, but after the ball was pushed out, Muntari got it, and he passed the ball to Carlos!
Yaya Toure rushed towards Carlos, and the two people crowded together, but Carlos was stunned to protect the football and pass it out!
***********
"Counterattack! This is Inter Milan's chance to counterattack!"
After receiving the pass from Carlos, Muntari directly passed the football forward. Mata retreated to respond. Now, Barcelona's side is very empty. As long as Mata stops the ball and turns around, he can get a good space to run.
!
In desperation, Marcos, who came to fill the position, could only reach out and pull Mata down.
beep!
The referee's whistle sounded and he showed Marcos a yellow card for the foul.
Li Ang applauded on the sidelines and applauded the team's successful defense. Although the counterattack failed due to the opponent's foul, the defense was completed very well and the counterattack tactics were also used.
"Your prediction is very accurate!" Banderas came over and said. When deploying tactics before the game, Li Ang emphasized that Barcelona players like the kind of very delicate little pick passes. Such crosses are very sudden.
, very hidden and very threatening, requiring the whole team to pay special attention. As expected, Henry had just played such a trick. Fortunately, Chivu was very alert.
Li Ang smiled. He was very familiar with this Barcelona, and even the future Barcelona.
Rijkaard waved his hand in disappointment. The team was making a fuss on the wing. However, it seemed that Inter Milan had already planned for this. Not only did it not succeed, but it was almost counterattacked by Inter Milan.
Although this counterattack was blocked by Marcos, Marcos also received a yellow card, which was considered a heavy price to pay.
Now, Zambrotta and Marcos each have a yellow card. Before the first half of the game is over, two players have received yellow cards. This will obviously be a hidden danger for Barcelona in the second half.
***********
Subsequently, Barcelona continued to try to make a fuss on the wing. However, facing Inter Milan's methodical chain defense, they found that it was really difficult to get any opportunities.
Rijkaard returned to the dugout and sat down, knowing the team was in trouble.
If you attack hard in the middle, it will be difficult to get any breakthrough against Carlos who is in unexpectedly good condition. If you play on the wing, it is obvious that Rijkaard has also seen it. Liang has been prepared for this, whether it is a ground ball or a high-altitude ball.
The ball, they all handled it very well.
Although Inter Milan seems to be more inclined to attack tactics, their defense is still not affected. On the contrary, the defense is very tough and elastic, and it is difficult to break through!
Suddenly, Rijkaard had to find that Barcelona's powerful offensive group, which he was very confident about, actually fell into a situation where he didn't know how to attack!
He had to admit that Li Ang had built this Inter Milan team into a very mature team with almost no shortcomings.
No, there must be shortcomings and shortcomings, but he just didn't catch them, Rijkaard said to himself.
At this moment, Li Ang stood up from the coaching bench. He took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and called the team captain Javier Zanetti to the sidelines to whisper.
Rijkaard saw all this, and a sudden thought occurred in his mind, what kind of conspiracy does that guy have?!
