Under heavy pressure, Spanish head coach Sergio believed that Barcelona played so unscrupulously because the forwards did not pose enough threats to their opponents.
If facing an evenly matched opponent, Sergio will definitely add another forward or midfielder.
But now the Spaniard is facing the powerful Barcelona, how can Sergio have the courage to change to a forward at this time.
Sergio made the most decent substitution, replacing Caicedo, who had played more than 60 minutes, with young Moreno.
Moreno was excited when he came on, but Caicedo was unhappy when he came off.
Caicedo felt that he was not tired yet and he could still fight.
The main reason is that he didn't score a goal, and he hopes to perform well in this highly anticipated derby match.
Caicedo did not shake hands with head coach Sergio and walked straight back to the bench.
The game was tight and Caicedo was not a focus player, so not many people paid attention to Caicedo's temper.
Moreno's physical strength is definitely better than Caicedo's, but he is too young. In terms of ability and tacit understanding with teammates, Moreno is a little worse than Caicedo.
The timing of Sergio's substitution was not bad, but in terms of effect, this substitution was almost the same as no substitution.
Barcelona still suppressed the Spaniards and kept attacking, and the Spaniards still could only launch sporadic counterattacks.
In the 75th minute of the game, Neymar got the ball from the left. After shaking continuously, he suddenly started, passing captain Lopez, and went straight into the penalty area.
Alvarez quickly came over to help defend.
Neymar did not go it alone this time, he passed the ball back in an inverted triangle and looked for Messi who was penetrating forward.
There were many defensive players, and Messi didn't have time to adjust. He just followed up with a volley.
Unluckily, the ball hit goalkeeper Lopez. Lopez had no time to react and the ball bounced out.
Iniesta followed the penalty area and tried to jump for a header, but the ball flew over his head.
Barcelona's offense was very sophisticated. Iniesta missed the ball, and Pique caught up with him. He stopped the ball with his chest and shot directly with his feet.
The arc of the ball was very beautiful, but the accuracy was a bit off and it landed directly on the net.
The shaking of the net made the Barcelona fans at the scene think that a goal had been scored, which triggered a burst of cheers.
The Spaniard takes a goal kick.
Barcelona was still lagging behind. They did not dare to waste any more time and began to press the whole game.
Goalkeeper Lopez found that passing the ball in the backcourt was too dangerous, so he simply kicked the ball towards the frontcourt.
There is no doubt that the ball was grabbed by Barcelona players again.
Messi dropped back to receive the ball, passed Diop's tackle, and found Rakitic with a direct pass.
Rakitic did not stop the ball, rubbed the ball with his toes, and the ball flew straight into the penalty area.
This was a very clever pass. The Spanish defender did not react for a moment and just watched Suarez insert into the penalty area.
Suarez stopped the ball with his chest, faced the attacking goalkeeper and flicked the ball into the net.
But just when Suarez wanted to celebrate, the referee's whistle sounded, indicating that he had handballed first and the goal was invalid.
Suarez pretended to be innocent and defended himself. Seeing the referee's firm attitude, Suarez did not dare to defend himself anymore because he did handball the ball when he stopped it with his chest.
Several consecutive offsides and invalid goals in the second half made Barcelona players a little impatient and lost patience when attacking.
In the 80th minute of the game, the Spaniard stole the ball and counterattacked. After receiving the ball, Zhao Yang made a crotch pass and got rid of Rakitic. After cooperating with Asensio, Zhao Yang continued to break through with the ball and directly killed
Entered the restricted area.
Zhao Yang was so excited that he passed several defensive players in a row, but passing by was a waste of time and energy. By the time Zhao Yang entered the penalty area, the penalty area was already full of defensive players.
Zhao Yang had no chance to kick, and he did not force the kick. Then he passed the ball back to Asensio, who continued to organize the attack.
Zhao Yang did not take a kick, but Asensio behind him was a little anxious. He saw that the defensive players were pushed into the penalty area by Zhao Yang, adjusted his footing, and Asensio fired angrily.
There are so many people in the restricted area, and if you are not very lucky, you will not be able to penetrate them.
The ball hit the defender and bounced out of the penalty area.
Neymar was lucky and the ball bounced in front of him.
Neymar stopped and turned around, dribbling the ball straight into the Spaniard's half without hesitation.
This was a rare opportunity to counterattack. Neymar almost used all his strength to rush towards the Spaniard's half.
In Neymar's mind, there is only one thought: he must reach the offensive third before the Spaniard's players can return to defense.
Neymar's speed is still very advantageous. He bypassed Perez's interception and reached the 30-meter area of the Spaniard before the Spaniard's midfielder arrived.
At this moment, Neymar can pass and shoot, completely occupying the initiative on the court.
As soon as Neymar slowed down, center Suarez quickly inserted behind Alvarez and Rocco.
Neymar did not hesitate to pass the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
Diagonal pass and direct penetration, this is Barcelona's usual tactic.
This time, Suarez was not offside. He threw away the defender, passed the ball, and entered the Spaniard's penalty area.
Goalkeeper Lopez quickly struck out and hit the ball directly at Suarez's feet.
Suarez pushed the ball to one side and passed Lopez who hit too hard.
Goalkeeper Lopez already had a plan to get passed before attacking. He reached out without hesitation and grabbed Suarez's ankle.
Suarez was about to chase the ball when he was tripped by Lopez and fell to the penalty area.
The Barcelona fans at the scene had already stood up, eagerly waiting for Suarez to score. When they saw Suarez tripped, there was an uproar.
"Tribulation! Red card!"
"Tribulation! Penalty kick!"
"Red card red card!"
…
There was no one else in the penalty area, and the referee Gonzalez could see it clearly. He ran over, pointed at the penalty spot, and at the same time took out the red card and sent goalkeeper Lopez off the court.
Goalkeeper Lopez did not defend himself, and there was no surprise. He pulled down Suarez just to give the Spaniard a chance.
There are still ten minutes left. If the replaced goalkeeper can save the penalty kick, the Spaniards can almost win the game.
Even if the penalty kick cannot be saved, the Spaniard still hopes to maintain a draw.
Lopez came off the field and the Spaniard was forced to make a substitution. Moreno, who had just been replaced, became the victim. He was then replaced and substitute goalkeeper Baldi came on.
Moreno looked unwilling when he came off the field, but he had no choice but to play one less player. Regardless of whether Barcelona scored a penalty kick or not, the Spaniards would definitely set up an iron barrel formation in the next ten minutes.
It was Suarez who took the penalty kick for Barcelona.
Messi considered that he had already scored a goal and Suarez still had to compete with Zhao Yang for the top scorer, so he gave the penalty kick to Suarez.
Facing the substitute goalkeeper Baldi, Suarez paused and pushed the ball very lightly to tie the score at 2:2.
