Goalkeeper Valdes, defender Van Bronckhorst, Marcos, Puyol and Belletti, midfielder Marcos Senna in the back, Iniesta and Xavi in the center, Ronaldi in the frontcourt
The trident combination of Neo, Sudong and Messi.
This is the lineup for Barcelona's home match against Udinese.
It will also be the most turning-point game in Messi's career so far.
He replaced Giuly as the right winger.
Before the game, Su Dong and Messi stood in the center circle. The Argentine seemed a little nervous and kept taking deep breaths.
"Don't be nervous, Leo, you have already experienced the Champions League final and won the world championship." Su Dong joked with a smile.
Messi glanced at him and smiled bitterly.
The Champions League final is true, but he came on as a substitute and his performance was not particularly outstanding. As for the world championship, what kind of world championship is the World Youth Championship?
Besides, the meaning of tonight's game is completely different from the past.
People outside may not know it, but it is very clear in the Barcelona locker room that Rijkaard intends to test Messi and Iniesta to see how much they can perform.
"Su, I'm still a little nervous." Messi smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, just give it your best!" Su Dong reached out and touched Messi's head, "I'll support you from the front!"
After hearing this, Messi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
…
With the whistle of British referee Bent, and the roar of 100,000 Barcelona fans in the audience, the game officially started.
Su Dong quickly kicked the ball to Messi, who passed it back.
Barcelona's formation quickly spread out, the ball moved to the back line, and was passed continuously.
Both players, Xavi and Iniesta, also tried their best to stay apart, constantly weaving back and forth to support their teammates.
Udinese performed well in Serie A last season, beating Roma, Lazio and other teams, and finished fourth in Serie A, proving that this team is very capable, but they did not dare to overpower them easily when visiting Camp Nou.
When Barcelona started passing the ball continuously at the beginning, Udinese's choice was to close the camp and hold on to the half court. They were not affected by Barcelona's possession of the ball and did not step forward to grab the ball.
Interestingly, Barcelona had a passing game that lasted for more than two minutes after the start. During this period, Udinese did not even touch the ball. Instead, they passively defended and responded to Barcelona's repeated tests.
But the first threatening shot of the game came from Udinese midfielder Muntari's long shot.
This long-range shot from 25 meters away failed to have enough force and was easily confiscated by Valdez.
Perhaps he was too nervous. Messi made several obvious mistakes after the start, but as Su Dong comforted him again and again, and as Barcelona gradually controlled the rhythm and scene, he gradually entered the state.
In the seventh minute, after Messi stole the ball from Udinese defender Obodo, he dribbled the ball horizontally inwards, passed two players of the opponent, and hit the goal with a curved ball with his left foot, but the shot failed to hit the goal.
, the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
Just a minute later, Messi again dribbled the ball lightly and created a threat, but unfortunately it could not be converted into an offense.
…
Sudong's main task in this game is not to score goals, but to help Ronaldinho, Messi and Iniesta.
He doesn't need to prove himself anymore, but Ronaldinho has been questioned this season and has just been punished internally by Rijkaard. He needs a wonderful game to please the fans and win the chance to change again.
room approval.
Not to mention Messi and Iniesta, they are both rare, especially they still beat Giuly and Deco.
It can be said that the three of them played under pressure. In this case, Su Dong had no reason not to help them.
What's more, they often pass the ball to Su Dong on weekdays.
Therefore, after Messi got better, Su Dong also took the initiative to change his role. He no longer sought scoring opportunities, but stretched the defense for Messi. For example, Messi's kick just now was when Su Dong cut inside.
He took the defensive player to the right in the opposite direction, which allowed Messi to kick, but who knew he didn't have enough force.
With Messi replacing Giuly, Barcelona's tactics, especially their offensive tactics, are obviously different.
Giuly is a right-footed player who plays as a right winger. His characteristic is to attack and score from behind. At this time, Barcelona's offense is more inclined to the left, with Ronaldinho responsible for holding the ball and attracting the defensive attention.
If the left wing is marked, the ball will suddenly shift to the right wing and Giuly will attack.
But today, after Messi, his ability to hold the ball is not inferior to Ronaldinho at all, and he plays with his left foot on the right. Dribbling the ball from the right, cutting in and diagonally are his specialties. In addition,
Shang Sudong "takes care of" intentionally or unintentionally, making Barcelona's offense feel a bit balanced.
There is an excellent ball-handler on both sides. Messi is on par with Ronaldinho, and even performs better. Coupled with Su Dong's pulling and support from left and right, Barcelona's frontcourt trident
Frequent cross-positions gave Udinese's defensive players a headache.
In the 13th minute, it was Su Dong who suddenly appeared on the right side of the penalty area. He received Xavi's long pass and passed the ball to Messi. The Argentine teenager took advantage of the situation and cut inside horizontally with the ball. When he tried to shoot again, he missed the ball in the arc.
Fouled by the opponent on the top perimeter.
Vidigal, who followed the defense all the way, was given a yellow card.
Ronaldinho walked over without hesitation and took the direct free kick, which was quite well placed. He also used a wonderful curve ball to bypass the wall and hit the net close to the right post.
zero!
Su Dong has also been practicing free kicks recently, studying Juninho's "Hidden Secret". When he saw Ronaldinho's free kick, he was full of praise.
Oh my god, the ball was not fast and not powerful, but it was so clever. Not only did it go around the wall, it also hit the right post and hit the net. The goalkeeper didn't even react at all. The angle was too tricky.
All in all, in one word, handsome!
…
After opening the scoring, Barcelona did not stop its attack, but launched a series of fierce attacks.
Sudong also frequently played the ball for his teammates. First, he passed the ball across the ball, and then passed it to Iniesta from Ronaldinho. The latter took a long shot from outside the penalty area and was blocked by the defender.
Afterwards, Xavi took a corner kick, Su Dong's header flew to the back point, and Messi pushed in front of the goal and broke Udinese's goal.
Two to zero!
Just two minutes later, Messi returned the favor, dribbling the ball from the right and cutting in laterally. After passing two players of the opponent, he suddenly sent a fatal direct pass with his left foot, tearing open the defense and accurately sending the ball to Su Dong.
of feet.
Faced with such an opportunity, Su Dong did his best and hit from the start, three to zero!
In the 32nd minute, Su Dongla moved to the left. After receiving Ronaldinho's pass, he used his speed to dribble past Natali. He dribbled the ball directly to the baseline and passed the ball back to the left rib in an inverted triangle.
, Ronaldinho followed up and scored from the far corner, scoring twice, 4-0!
In half an hour, four goals were scored!
Barcelona launched a crazy attack and completely overwhelmed Udinese.
More importantly, the three midfielders headed by Marcos Senna, Iniesta and Xavi not only control the ball with amazing efficiency, but also plan an endless stream of offensives. They are also quite solid on the defensive end, which is very impressive.
Accident.
In the 41st minute, it was Iniesta who suddenly stepped in. After receiving Sudong's pass, when he tried to hit the goal from the front of the penalty area, he was tripped to the ground by Muntari who was returning to defend.
Ronaldinho once again took the free kick and hit it accurately, completing a hat trick!
Five to zero!
crazy!
The whole Camp Nou stadium was completely crazy with joy!
Tonight, Barcelona not only played an astonishing efficiency in passing and controlling the ball, but also played a turbulent offensive.
…
During the halftime break, Rijkaard named several players who performed bravely in the first half, such as Ronaldinho and Messi who scored a hat trick, and also praised Su Dong's performance.
Although Su Dong only scored one goal, he contributed two assists, and he participated in most of the threatening attacks. His role is obvious to all. Everyone can see that he was more helping tonight.
teammate.
This also made his teammates in the locker room admire or appreciate him even more.
After changing sides in the second half, only four minutes into the game, Su Dong took the ball behind his back and then turned around and sent a through ball. Messi caught up with him and scored a single goal with a shot in the penalty area, scoring twice!
Su Dong also scored a hat trick!
However, it’s not a hat trick of goals, but a hat trick of assists!
Six to zero!
The overall situation has been decided, and the remaining games are meaningless!
…
Rijkaard replaced Su Dong with Larsson in the 55th minute.
When Su Dong slowly walked off the court, players such as Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta all ran to hug him as he passed by.
The 100,000 Barcelona fans in the audience also stood up and gave Su Dong warm applause.
"Su Dong tonight is impressive."
"He is not the player with the most goals in Barcelona. Ronaldinho scored the hat trick; nor is he the most dazzling player in Barcelona. The one who performs the most eye-catchingly is the teenager Messi."
"But Sudong is still Barcelona's most important player, because it was his presence that allowed Ronaldinho to perform a hat trick, helped Messi block the defensive pressure, and allowed the Argentine youngster to fully display his talents.
"
"The fans at Camp Nou understand. They understand Su Dong's value and role, so when Su Dong came off the field, they all stood up to applaud and cheer for him."
"A goal, an assist and a hat trick, Su Dong created four of Barcelona's six goals in this game."
"Maybe he won't be the best player tonight, but he is still the most important player for Barcelona tonight!"
…
The game finally ended 7-0.
In the final stage of the game, Barcelona once again won a penalty kick opportunity. Ronaldinho caused a foul in the penalty area, but this time he did not take the penalty himself, but gave it to Deco who came on the bench.
.
Deco personally took the penalty kick and locked the score at 7-0.
Barcelona won the most heart-warming victory so far this season at Camp Nou!
