Football: Start 99 explosive, shocked Messi

In this game, Malone continued to appear in the starting left winger position. Dembele's sudden injury left him out again.

In addition to the reason why he often rots, Dumberley's glass constitution is also one of the reasons why he has played relatively little time.

Barcelona's starting trident has not changed much, and in midfield, facing the relatively weak Portuguese sport, Iniesta chose to substitute.

Instead, it started, also Andrea Gomez, a Portuguese.

In the full-back position, the veteran Alba also rarely entered the rotation, and started the French left-back Digne. Right-back remains the focus of the developed Semedo.

As for the selection of central defenders, Barcelona, which lack available people, can only continue to choose the combination of Pique and Umtiti.

In contrast, the Portuguese sporting squad is much more barren. Veteran Mathieu, who left Barca, and Uruguayan veteran Kozi sat in the backline, while Argentine full-back Acuña, who plays for Sporting Portugal, also started the match.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins.

Just in the sixth minute of the game, Sporting Portugal's centre-forward Dunbia used a violent flying tackle to knock down Malone, who had just received the ball.

"Shouldn't he be given a yellow card for such an action?"

The old horse head in the stands saw his son being violently fouled. His brows couldn't help but furrow,

"Such an action should be sent off for a red card, right?"

Although Lao Ma has also watched many football games because of his son's relationship, his level is at best just a fan.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Suarez rushed forward angrily. Directly pushed Dunbia. The players on both sides immediately gathered together, looking like they were about to fight.

The conflict is about to escalate. The referee, considering that the game had just begun, did not directly show a yellow card. Instead, verbal warnings prevented the further development of the conflict.

But in the following matches, Sporting Portugal continued to follow the tactical idea of using large-scale fouls as a whole.

Whenever a Barça player advances in front with the ball, he is fouled by Sporting Portugal.

Under such a defense, even Messi and Suarez have not been able to really threaten the penalty area of Portuguese sports.

Taking advantage of the home whistle, Sporting Portugal received only two yellow cards in the first 20 minutes, despite a series of fouls.

Although the defensive pressure on the field was solved to some extent through rough fouls, the attack of Portuguese sports was still difficult to unfold.

It wasn't until the 28th minute of the game that Barcelona really created a threatening shot for the first time.

The shot came from Suarez up front, who forced Koz away with his individual ability.

Taking advantage of the gap in Sporting Portugal's back line that was too late to complete the position, he completed a small angle shot.

However, Patricio's downward save perfectly defused the attack.

Subsequently, Barcelona's corner kicks were not able to continue to threaten. The lack of high points up front has led to a lack of direct attack from corners, which has been Barcelona's ills for many years.

This is even more true against Sporting Portugal's tall centre-backs.

Because of Sporting Portugal's rough foul tactics, this time Malone did not show too dazzling performance.

The targeted defense of William Carvalho and Martins makes it difficult for Malone to catch the ball in a comfortable situation, often receiving the push and pull of the hand as soon as he holds the ball. Or simply shoveled.

The left-back did not start Alba today, so it was also difficult to provide offensive support.

Diigne, both offensively and defensively, struggles to gain a foothold in a big club like Barcelona.

On the contrary, it is the midfielder, also from Portugal, Andre Gomez has become the breakthrough to be locked in by Portuguese sports.

Although Bruno Fernandez's ability to fight is not excellent, it has become his shortcoming. But Andre Gomez's physical ability to fight is equally worrying.

As a Portuguese Premier League team, Sporting Portugal's coaching staff know the Portuguese midfielder very well. Highly targeted tactics are clearly arranged.

Once Gomez had the ball, he was almost immediately pressed by Portuguese sporting players.

This allowed him to be frequently tackled by Bruno Fernandes while holding the ball, blocking Barcelona's attack.

After B Fei wins the ball, he can also take this opportunity to directly launch a counterattack. Although the effect is not ideal, it is already the best way for Portuguese sports to threaten the Barcelona defense.

Several attacks were fruitless, and ten minutes later, Sporting Portugal once again cut off Andre Gomez, who was holding the ball.

Subsequently, B Fei carried the ball directly to launch a rapid counterattack.

Acuña put on at full speed, although not fast, but his squatting body made him enough to deal with Rakitic's return defense.

After getting the receiving point, B Fei also chose to split the ball immediately without hesitation.

After forcing Sergio Busquets to tilt the left flank, Acuña chose to return the ball to Bruno Fernandez.

Facing full-back Digne from France, Fee chose Neche. Perhaps because he didn't get the opportunity to play for a long time, Digne didn't perform well in this defense with the B fee.

B successfully swung an angle in front of him with a bicycle pedal to complete a long-range shot.

Although this opportunity is good, the handling of B Fei's foot is a little impatient.

The timing of the ball is not perfect. It went above the crossbar and did not pose much of a threat to Barcelona's goal.

'We have to change the situation in the second half and we can't let them bring the game to that rhythm anymore.'

Neither side had a good chance in the first half, and Valverde decided to make adjustments at half-time.

Sporting Portugal's rough foul successfully cut the game apart, making it extremely fragmented.

Although this left their entire backline, three were yellow carded in just one first half. But it did cut off Barcelona's attack and effectively contained Barcelona's fierce offensive firepower.

"Paulinho, Roberto. You're ready to come off the bench. Ivan, your functions will also change. "

At halftime, Valverde made drastic changes to the midfield. Two substitutions were even used directly to adjust the staffing of midfielders.

Andre Gomez, who had underperformed in the first half, bore the brunt of the take-off, while Sergio Busquets was replaced by the more energetic Roberto.
