Chapter 205: The decisive battle at the last moment!
Overtaking?!
Isco's goal ignited the atmosphere of the Rose Garden Stadium, and the overwhelming screams and howls... resounded throughout the entire stadium!
Flags are flying in the stands and war drums are beating!
Isco ran freely on the court like a child, and the Malaga players howled and followed behind him...
The Barcelona players lowered their heads, and Pique waved and shouted something, but the sound in the stadium was so loud that no one could hear clearly what he was shouting.
Valdez picked up the football in the net and kicked it toward the center circle like a catharsis.
The Malaga bench rushed into the field frantically. Pellegrini looked up at the sky, crossed himself on his chest, and thanked God.
Barcelona coach Vilanova came to the command area to cheer up the players and encourage them. They still have time to equalize the score.
In the VIP box of Malaga, Malaga President Arsani shouted excitedly. As for what he was yelling, no one could hear clearly except the club executives next to him.
The crowd of reporters exploded.
"Nah, Malaga actually takes the lead again!"
"If Malaga wins, they can overtake Barcelona and top the standings!"
“Malaga’s cooperation this time is quite beautiful!”
"Li did not go it alone this time and completely radiated his intimidating power. This kind of Li is even more terrifying!"
"Another two-goal lead, then the opponent equalized, and then took the lead again at the last moment of the game. How can this version be the same as Real Madrid?"
"Impossible! Barcelona is not Real Madrid. Barcelona can definitely get it back!"
A full minute passed before the game could restart.
Messi moved the football to the backcourt, and Malaga, under the command of Pellegrini, placed heavy troops in their own half, leaving only three forwards in the frontcourt to carry out harassing pressing.
What is surprising is that Barcelona did not rush to move the football to the attacking area. Once someone pressed, they immediately moved the football to a safer place.
This unhurried pace makes people mistakenly think that the leading side is Barcelona, not Malaga.
"Be careful of the opponent's forward thrust!"
Pellegrini loudly reminded the back line that what Barcelona likes to do most is to slowly penetrate the midfield and backcourt, and the midfielders can insert in the back row and launch a lightning strike.
Sure enough, in the 45th minute of the second half, Xavi suddenly made a diagonal pass in the hinterland and penetrated the Malaga defense.
Messi suddenly comes forward!
Demichelis leaned on the Argentinian superstar's shoulder with his left shoulder, and Li Chuanqi, who was following Messi, poked the ball with his toes. The ball rolled towards goalkeeper Caballero, defusing Barcelona's threatening attack.
"plum!"
The Malaga TV commentator said loudly: "Lee poked the football away in front of Messi's toes! This is a wonderful defense!"
The Barcelona TV commentator said regretfully: "Under Lee's marking, Messi lost his former magic, and Barcelona lost an opportunity to equalize the score."
Li Chuanqi’s name rang out again at the Rose Garden Stadium:
"plum!"
"plum!"
"plum!"
There was thunderous applause in the stands.
Li Chuanrui said happily: "Hu Zi's performance tonight is surprising, his performance completely surpassed Messi!"
Li Xianqi asked doubtfully: "Didn't Messi score two goals? Hu Zi only scored one. How can he be better than Messi?"
Since her brother became a real professional player, Li Xiaofeng has been supplementing her football knowledge. At this moment, she looked at Li Xianqi and said: "Dad, football games are not compared like this. Although Messi scored one more goal than his brother, his contribution to the whole team
, my brother is older than Messi!"
Li Chuanrui glanced at his sister with admiration: "Xiaofeng is right, especially on the defensive end, Hu Zi restricted Messi and Barcelona's offense was in trouble!
If there were no tigers to limit Messi, the result tonight would definitely be different!"
Li Xianqi suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it. Is it great to be able to guard Messi?"
Li Chuanrui said calmly: "So far, no one can guard Messi alone."
Li Xianqi laughed happily: "The seeds of my old Li family are just different, hahaha! Hahaha!..."
On the court, the ball came to Malaga's feet. They patiently passed the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Barcelona stepped up their pressing. After all, there was not much time left.
The fourth official came to the sidelines and raised the electronic display board in his hand: Six minutes of additional time!
The Malaga TV commentator loudly said: "There are only six minutes left in the game! As long as Malaga holds on to these six minutes, they can win Barcelona and occupy the top spot in the standings!"
Come on Malaga!
Come on! Li, continue to target Messi!"
The Barcelona TV commentator said solemnly: "We still have six minutes! A goal is often a matter of a split second, and Barcelona still has a chance!"
In the second minute of stoppage time, Malaga launched an attack from the right. Li Chuanqi took the ball and got rid of Alba, and feinted to get rid of Mascherano who was defending.
The Argentine didn't give him a chance to cross the ball. The moment the two of them crossed paths, his left shoulder hit Li Chuanqi's left shoulder hard.
Li Chuanqi screamed and flew out!
However, the referee did not blow the whistle to signal the game to continue, and Mascherano immediately controlled the football.
"coax!……"
There was a loud sound in the Rose Garden, and then countless shouts and curses rushed towards the referee...
The Malaga TV commentator shouted excitedly: "No foul?! Damn it, such an obvious foul, why wasn't it awarded?"
The Barcelona TV commentator said: "Well, this was a beautiful physical confrontation. Mascherano did not commit a foul! The referee's decision was accurate!"
A reporter from Marca sarcastically said: "Besides taking care of the referee, what else do Barcelona have?"
A reporter from Aspen took over and said angrily: "Whoever lets others be the 'Universe Team', it is normal for them to be taken care of by the referee!"
Journalists from the Malaga region nodded in agreement.
A reporter from World Sports News countered: "This is considered a misjudgment at best, and Li did not make a shot. Whether it is called or not does not have much impact. Even if it is called, it is just a direct free kick!"
This sentence made him suffer more attacks:
"What are you talking about? Are you sure that Malaga's direct free kick can't score Barcelona's goal?"
"Misjudgement sounds so nice?"
"Damn it, I've never seen such a shameless person!"
After Li Chuanqi fell to the ground, he immediately got up from the turf without hearing the referee's whistle.
This time he didn't rush back to defend Messi, but went to counterattack!
Mascherano immediately moved the football to Busquets' feet, and Li Chuanqi rushed toward Busquets!
Several Malaga frontcourt players immediately started to block Busquets' passing route.
In a very short period of time, Málaga completed a high-pressure frontcourt situation!
Facing Li Chuanqi's tackle, Busquets quickly transferred the football to Mascherano.
Li Chuanqi stretched out his left foot!
The football hit his toe and changed direction!
Tulalang is like a magic weapon descending from the sky, stretching out his feet to control the football!
Then he forced forward, got rid of Mascherano, and moved forward at high speed along the right road!
The Malaga TV commentator said loudly: "This is a successful high-pressure press in the frontcourt! Malaga immediately launched a quick counterattack!"
The atmosphere in the Rose Garden became tense again.
Malaga fans hope that their team can seize this opportunity and completely eliminate the suspense of the outcome of the game. Barcelona fans hope that Barcelona can complete this defense and launch a counterattack immediately!
