"You did a great job!" Li Ang was praising the players loudly.
"The score of this game is the reward you deserve for all your previous efforts!" Li Ang pointed to the mud-stained jerseys of the players, "This is the medal of merit! It is the mark of your hard work! We are fighting for this game."
The game has been prepared for a long time. While the Barcelona people were enjoying themselves on the sunny beach, you were training on this terrible field. I know you are all clean boys. You must have said a lot of bad things about me when you were taking a shower in the locker room.
"
Hearing him say this, there was a burst of laughter.
"Now, all the hard work and dedication have paid off. The reward is that when we run freely on this kind of field, our opponents are so embarrassed that they can't keep up with our pace at all." Li Ang rushed.
Callejon winked and said, "Jose, you run wildly with the ball, and the Barcelona people can't catch you or stop you! How do you feel?"
"Great," Callejon shouted.
"Yes, it's great." Li Ang said, "Continue to play like this in the second half and tighten up on their players holding the ball. Pressure them and make them make mistakes, and then our opportunity will come!"
"Okay -" the young players shouted excitedly. If before the goal came in the first half, they would have adopted such a 'cowardly' defensive counterattack tactic when they faced their arch-rival Barcelona in this game.
And let them toss in a bad venue. These players have no psychological recognition. They are listening to the coach's arrangements due to their long-term professionalism, as well as their respect and habitual obedience to Li Ang's coaching level during this period.
So at this moment, Li Ang used his real achievements, an extremely successful defensive counterattack tactics, and a goal to make these kids admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
After the goal came, the children were very excited. They felt that all the efforts and efforts were worth it. They also admired the head coach very much. After Callejon scored, the children celebrated wildly and ravaged the head coach.
You can see it in just one look.
Hearing the cheers from the Real Madrid team, Messi frowned.
Cruyff looked away from Real Madrid and called Messi aside.
"Leo, how do you feel about your performance in the first half?"
Messi was a little frustrated and lowered his head, "Not good, sir."
"This is not the Messi I remember. He always refuses to admit defeat, is always confident, and always optimistic." Cruyff's voice continued to rise and he said, "Look up, Leo."
"Sir -" Messi clenched his fists, "Well, I don't want to find an excuse...but the venue is really terrible. I have never played on such a bad pitch. I can't carry the ball at all." The Argentinian boy
Pointing at the court behind me, it was like being plowed by an old ox... it was terrible.
Cruyff expressed his understanding: "You are right. The venue does restrict your performance. However, the first half of the game has become a thing of the past. After such a first half, you should have adapted to this venue, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"In this game, such a situation is somewhat unexpected, but you can regard this as a valuable energy. Your future is on a broader stage, and it also means that you will face more complex situations in the future.
You will find that a small scene like today is nothing to you." Cruyff patted Messi on the shoulder, "You are a player who uses his brain to play football, you have such ability!
Believe in yourself and your teammates. When the football is at your feet, you will find that there are many paths to choose from! Boy, will there be good news in the second half of the game?"
"Yes, sir, I promise." Little Messi nodded vigorously.
He turned back to his teammates.
The look in Messi's eyes towards Real Madrid was no longer depressed, and was particularly determined.
※※※※※※
Not long after the second half started, Li Ang felt something was wrong. Messi, who was trapped in the quagmire in the first half, responded.
Messi is Barcelona's most terrifying weapon and offensive core. His resurrection means that Barcelona will also recover.
Messi began to become active. When he was in possession of the ball, he was more confident and more determined when he broke through. Moreover, it can be seen that at this time, Messi was no longer impatient and did not blindly pursue continuous dribbling. He used
His skills get rid of the defensive players, attract the defensive attention, and then he shoots when he has the chance and passes the ball when he doesn't have the chance.
Fabregas and Pedro are on both sides of him. After receiving the ball, the former dribbles less and distributes the ball more to organize the attack. The latter cooperates well with Messi and assists from behind him from time to time.
Pressuring Real Madrid's defense also created more opportunities and openings for Messi.
Busquets is active in both offense and defense in the midfield, and he is the link between Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt.
Barcelona is like an extremely exquisite machine. Messi is the core of this machine, and everyone else operates around him. When he is normal, the team will be normal. If he is not normal, the team will fall into trouble.
crisis.
In the first half of the game, the little Argentine player got stuck in Chamartín's poor pitch and broke down. In the second half, normal operation resumed, and Barcelona's offensive machine also returned to normal.
Messi got the ball in the frontcourt, and the poor playing field could no longer restrain his feet. He continuously changed his foot movements, making the defender who was defending him feel at a loss. A sudden change of direction caused the defender to lean to this side, and he
But he pulled the ball sharply and dribbled it forward from the opposite direction.
Javi Garcia was guarding on the other side and immediately came up to intercept the ball. Unexpectedly, Messi did not continue to dribble. It was just a fake move and instead sent a through ball.
Messi attracted two people by himself, and his breakthrough made other defensive players have to pay attention to him. At this time, this kick was so unexpected and sharp!
"Oops!" Li Ang was shocked.
He is very familiar with this kind of offensive coordination. In the future Barcelona team that will sweep across Europe, Messi can shoot and pass in the frontcourt. In addition to the terrifying shooting, small through balls like this are also extremely sharp.
Fabregas stepped in and shot the ball.
The football soaked in water is heavier, so the football flies faster.
The ball was almost in the goal. Real Madrid goalkeeper Casilla was least prepared for the ball and he threw the ball away.
The football slowly rolled towards the goal line, but right in front of the white line, Delaled, who was rushed by the patter, kicked it out with a big kick!
"Ah!" A sigh erupted from the Barcelona coaching bench.
Real Madrid let out a sigh of relief.
Li Ang felt his heart beating faster and sweating on his forehead.
"This can't go on like this." Pablo Banderas said to Leon with a stern expression, "That Argentine kid is very powerful! He can't be guarded at all... I have to admit, what you said before is right, this kid is very powerful.
It’s amazing, we thought it was something Barcelona people were bragging about before.”
Li Ang held his chin, stared at the court, and said in his heart, you will know how good this kid is in the future.
"The problem is that our defenders simply can't keep up with Messi's pace," Li Ang said.
Banderas was also silent. Now that Messi has returned to a certain level, he has shown his abilities to everyone. Real Madrid's defenders can't do anything about him. They can't guard him! They really can't guard him!
Now, every time Messi takes the ball, it will cause a burst of tension on Real Madrid's side.
It can only be said that they are lucky that they have not conceded a goal. With Real Madrid's current mental state, once Messi seizes the opportunity to help Barcelona score, their morale will suffer a heavy blow.
It seems that all the two of them can do now is stare at Messi, who is very active on the court, watching him wreak havoc, unable to come up with any ideas.
It's not that Li Ang doesn't want to make substitutions, but is there a more suitable candidate on the bench than on the field? No! These kids on the field now are the best players at Real Madrid's level.
"Ahem, cough, cough -" On the bench, someone opened a bottle to drink water, but choked.
"What are you doing?" Li Ang, who was extremely anxious, yelled, turned around and saw the panicked little face who had done something wrong.
Li Ang's eyes lit up and he raised his fingers, "Come here!"
The child was completely stunned. He was holding a mineral water bottle in his hand and making a squeaking sound. He was sitting on the chair, his body was stiff and motionless...
