"At critical times, we still have to rely on Ronaldinho's superstar flash!"
When Ronaldinho scored a free kick, the local commentator in Catalonia generously sent his praises, and he couldn't wait to give away all the praises.
"Barcelona equalized the score on the field, and the two sides of the game returned to the same starting line!"
"Ronaldinho was able to score this goal, and half of the credit should be given to the Argentine teenager Messi. At this time, it is estimated that many people don't know who he is, right? I will share with you some knowledge. He was the winner of the Bronze Ball Award at the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands last year, and he was also the No.2 of the European Golden Boy last year..."
"Barcelona leveled the score before half-time, which prevented them from taking the trailing score into the dressing room before half-time, which was not conducive to their performance in the second half, and now they have equalized the score on the field! They will have more confidence in the next game, but... Can Valencia stabilize the situation on the field?"
After the team equalized, Rijkaard finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the equalizer was so wonderful for the first time!
He knew that the next game would be more meaningful only if the score was equalized.
It's not good if you don't score points if you continue to gain power, and now you can throw the problem to Valencia, who is playing at home.
Because Barcelona equalized the score, Valencia, who are playing at home, will definitely not give up like this. While wanting to win, they must also be afraid of losing the ball.
This... is an opportunity that Barcelona can seize.
However, Flores obviously will not give Barcelona such an opportunity.
While conceding the ball, he waved his hand to signal the team to set up the formation to prevent Barcelona from dangling at the front of the penalty area. This is not only dangerous, but also does not help the team's counterattack.
The football is too close to the penalty area of the side, so it will be too far away from Aiello and Vicente.
The speed of the counterattack will also slow down, but the premise of the formation is different, so the distance is shorter and there are more opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal!
Moreover, Barcelona just equalized the score and definitely wanted to take advantage of this momentum to overtake the score. If they can enter the locker room with a leading advantage before halftime, this will definitely be an extremely wonderful ending.
The next time was as Flores expected, Barcelona, which had just equalized the score, really wanted to bang, but after encountering the tough Valencia midfielder, the attack was not smooth.
And before the end of the first half, Aiello and Vicente used their speed to counterattack one after another, so that the Barcelona defenders who had just shown signs of wanting to take the opportunity to counterattack did not dare to assist too much.
If you haven't scored yet but are overtaken again, the loss outweighs the gain!
******
With a score of 1:1, the two sides entered the intermission.
When they left the field, the faces of the Barcelona players were obviously much better, especially Messi, who created the chance to score goals, and he had a very happy chat with Iniesta.
Although it is an away game, they still have the confidence to win because they are Barcelona!
This is a synonym for honor! !
The faces of the Valencia players playing at home were obviously a little gloomy.
Originally, according to their plan, they entered the locker room with a score of 1:0, but they were destroyed by Ronaldinho's free kick.
But for them, being equalized is not necessarily a bad thing.
Because it's only the end of halftime, if the game ends at the end of the game, then there is no time to adjust. You must know that although the difference between the two teams is nine points, it is not a safe score.
Just like the three major reversals listed by "World Sports Daily" to win the championship, for Valencia, only scoring three points is king!
******
After returning to the locker room, Flores clapped his hands, "Brothers, it's just an equalizer. It's not a big deal. Don't we have 45 minutes left? Don't be so frustrated! To be honest, you performed very well in the first half! We continued to play like this in the second half and competed with them in the midfield. Anyway, we were not in a hurry. Barcelona were able to suppress us in the first half because they sent two defensive midfielders. I believe they will remove one of them in the second half and replace Xavi. Get on the field and strengthen our offense, as long as we hold on to the beginning of the second half, then it will be our chance!"
Flores felt very good this time, so he said all he wanted to say in one breath, and the players in front of him still needed a while to digest.
After about 2 minutes, he began to talk about the technical and tactical play in the second half.
In the visiting team's locker room, Rijkaard excitedly drove the enthusiasm of the players, "Everyone performed very well in the first half! We must take advantage of the opportunity of kick-off in the second half to grab a start! Valencia can score lightning goals, so can we!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Eto'o, Messi and Ronaldinho one after another.
These three are the players he relies on, and judging from the first half of the game, the three are in a good competitive state!
"Because we are a great Barcelona, we must win this game. Don't forget that we are catching up. If we want to defend the league title this season, we must win the leader Valencia in this game. Because there is not much time left for us in the second half of the season, we must race against time!"
Rijkaard stood on it and spoke excitedly, while the players in front of him listened carefully.
Under the leadership of Rijkaard, everyone's passion was stimulated again.
Rijkaard's eyes were like a torch, looking at the players who were full of battles, he knew...there was something to be said for this game! !
******
During the intermission, whether it was the reporters sitting in the media seats, the commentators in the studio, or the fans watching the game, they were all discussing the first half of the game.
For the first half, everyone thought it was very exciting.
Especially Ai Luo's goal in the opening 23 seconds!
This goal is a perfect goal that highlights speed! !
During the acceleration that surpassed Puyol in an instant, the commentators who watched the replay of the scene could feel the rush in their hearts!
The visual impact is too strong!
What is bullying?
This is! !
What we play is speed! !
That's why speed is one of the craziest matchups in football.
******
After the start of the second half, Barcelona's performance was as aggressive as it was in the last 10 minutes of the first half.
Therefore, the nerves of Valencia's defenders were tense and they did not dare to relax in the slightest. Even Aiello and Vicente were forced to return to their own 30-meter zone to assist in the defense, leaving only one David Villa waiting for an opportunity at the top of the center circle.
But this process is tormented, and it feels like studying hard for decades in order to become the number one scholar in high school.
Both sides of the game know that there is no room for loss in this game. Whoever loses this game may lose the league championship this season, and what loses is the hard work of the entire season.
So in this game, the 22 players on the court worked extra hard.
The same is true for the fans of both sides in the stands, and they spared no effort to cheer and cheer for the team.
The pace of the game was very fast, especially the fierce competition in the midfield, so that the 22 players on the field did not know that the time was quietly passing.
No. In the 601st minute, Iniesta dribbled casually in the middle, which did not attract the attention of the defensive Baraja, so he had plenty of time to observe the situation on the field. It was not until 30 meters that Baraja caught up, so he passed the football out, and Van Bommel received the football.
After passing the football, Iniesta did not stop. He still followed the running position before the game to meet Van Bommel. Sure enough, as soon as the position arrived, Van Bommel passed the ball.
At the same time, Van Bommel, who had just passed the football, suddenly accelerated forward, and Albelda, who was helping to defend, had to follow up, so the defender became one, so central defender Albiol had to get nervous.
When Van Bommel was running, Ronaldinho and Eto'o began to retreat, apparently to respond to Iniesta. No one noticed that a small man was rushing forward at high speed from the midfielder and central defender at high speed.
Iniesta's ability to read the game is very strong. Seeing that Messi is advancing at a high speed, he is about to pass the last central defender. While dribbling horizontally, he flicked his toes, and the football flew high, passing between Baraja and Albiol.
Seeing a player with a red and blue jersey preparing to receive the pass, Marchena, who was dragged behind, subconsciously stopped and raised his right arm to signal the opponent to be offside.
This is - not offside!
But now it was too late to chase back. When Canizares saw that the lineman did not raise the flag, he knew it was bad, so he rushed to attack, and at the same time he kept praying in his heart: stop the ball, stop the ball!
Only after the Barcelona players stopped the ball did he have a great chance to save, and Messi, who responded, seemed to understand Canizares' thoughts, and directly used the arch of his left foot to pad the bottom of the football while running at high speed.
Canizares subconsciously made a save during the attack, but compared with the height of the football, he was obviously half shorter. When he jumped to the top, he looked back at the football.
No luck, the football crashed into the far end of the goal.
After the referee signaled for a goal, players mainly Canizares and Marchena surrounded the linesman, but the lineman's attitude was very firm, and at this time the big screen also gave a slow motion of the shot just now.
Indeed not offside!
After seeing the firmness of the referee and the linesman, the Valencia players also knew that the penalty could not be changed, so they returned to the court lonely.
Messi, who scored the goal, was very excited. He frantically ran towards Iniesta who assisted him. The movement and pass just now were really wonderful, otherwise he would have no chance to score the ball.
When he jumped on Iniesta's back, he also shook his fist at Ai Luo, who was akimbo and confused.
At the same time, it also vents the pressure of this period of time: not only you can become the master of the field, but me!Leo Messi can too! !
