The match was a big success, but the game was not successful.

In the last round of the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Lin Rui left a deep psychological shadow on Mascherano.

He remembered the pain he suffered from the head-on collision with the opponent after he made a tackle.

He stayed in bed for more than a month that time.

Before this match, he had made bold statements to make Lin Rui look good.

At the beginning of the match, he did try hard to defend Lin Rui, and Lin Rui's several breakthrough attacks were indeed unsuccessful.

This gave him an illusion that Lin Rui seemed to be restricted by him.

Just when he was full of pride, he didn't expect Lin Rui to give him a loud slap in the face.

The opponent's hook shot just now was completed under his nose.

He didn't have any way to stop it. He used all the tricks he could, but in the end he still couldn't stop the opponent from scoring.

To be honest, he felt very powerless at this moment.

That was the feeling of powerlessness in the face of absolute strength.

As a tough defender, he rarely felt this kind of powerlessness in all the years he has been on the court.

How many powerful forwards have failed in front of him, and he has never been afraid of anyone.

But at this moment, he was really a little afraid of the Chinese.

That was awe of the strong, a kind of despair of the huge gap between himself and the opponent.

He felt a little ashamed of this feeling, and he didn't want to admit it, but it was real.

He could pretend to be indifferent on the surface, but he couldn't deceive his heart.

"Hey! Javier! What are you doing? Don't think too much. No one can guarantee 100% success in defending that guy."

Just as Mascherano was fighting with the gods, the voice of captain Puyol came to his ears.

Hearing Puyol's words, Mascherano nodded and said helplessly: "I understand, but I'm just upset."

"I understand how you feel. That guy is not a human at all. We ordinary people should not compete with a beast. Next time, we two will deal with him together." Puyol patted Mascherano on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Well, you are right. I really shouldn't compete with a beast." Mascherano seemed to have figured out something, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

At this time, the Atletico Madrid players who had celebrated had returned to their own half.

Seeing that the players from both sides were in position, the referee blew the whistle to restart the game.

Barcelona, ​​which was behind in the score, started to launch a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid's goal from the beginning of the game.

In order to equalize the score as soon as possible.

However, Atletico Madrid was well prepared. Facing Barcelona's attack, they withdrew the entire front line and set up a bus in front of the goal.

For a while, all the players from both sides gathered in front of Atletico Madrid's goal, making it so crowded that no one could get through.

In the 29th minute of the game, after Messi passed two Atletico Madrid players in a row, he was blocked by two other Atletico Madrid players who swarmed over. Together with the two Atletico Madrid players he had just passed, a total of four people surrounded him from front to back and left to right.

At this time, even if Messi had great ability, he couldn't show it.

The football under his feet was quickly poked away, and then cleared by a big foot.

However, the cleared football was not kicked far, but fell into the feet of Puyol who was defending in the midfield.

Puyol controlled the ball under his feet, observed the situation in the frontcourt, and then made a long diagonal pass to Iniesta at the front of the penalty area.

As soon as Iniesta got the ball, two Atletico Madrid defenders came up.

Facing the double-team, Iniesta did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly made a feint, created an opening, and sent a straight pass.

The ball was passed to Messi.

At this time, two defensive players were following Messi.

Under the close pressure of the two, Messi could only pass the ball and passed it to Villa next to him.

Villa did not stop the ball this time, but aimed at the direction of the goal and shot directly.

It was a pity that his shot was blocked by the thighs in the penalty area halfway, and there was no way to get through.

The rebounded ball fell at Miranda's feet.

He immediately kicked the ball to the front court again with a big foot.

However, at this time, there was no Atletico Madrid in the front court.

player, so the football he kicked out was directly kicked back by Valdez who had already run out of the penalty area.

The football kicked back fell into Barcelona's feet again.

Soon the football returned to the front of Atletico Madrid's penalty area after three passes and two falls.

Then the Barcelona players who got the ball were once again besieged by Atletico Madrid's dense defense.

In the end, the football was lost again under the outnumbered situation.

However, the Atletico Madrid players who got the ball had no way to form an effective counterattack.

They often kicked the ball directly to the front court or passed it back and forth in the back court, and then when they couldn't pass it anymore, they kicked it directly.

A delicate balance was formed between the two sides. For a while, no one could do anything to anyone.

And time passed by in this constant tug of war.

Soon, the game time came to 45 minutes, and the regular time of the first half had been consumed.

The referee gave two minutes of stoppage time.

At this time, both players were a little relaxed.

After all, people are not made of iron, and no one can be in a highly nervous state throughout the game.

Barcelona is still attacking at this time.

This time, Xavi got the ball at the front of the penalty area.

After observing the situation in the penalty area, he suddenly sent a through ball.

His pass was very thief, like a scalpel, accurately passing through the gap between two Atletico Madrid defenders and giving it to Messi at the top of the penalty area.

Messi took advantage of the situation and turned around with the ball, then lightly touched the ball and dodged Godin who was trying to steal it.

His footsteps were extremely fast, and before Godin could make the next move, his body had already rushed up and slid past Godin's side.

Godin was left behind by him in an instant.

At this time, another defender Miranda had also rushed over, wanting to continue to intercept Messi.

However, facing his interception, Messi just flicked the ball horizontally and dodged his steal. Then he slightly adjusted his steps and shot directly.

At this time, there were no other defensive players in front of the goal.
