My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 289 Complete defeat

"This is a goal scene worth watching again and again. Li Mo's shot selection route is really unexpected!"

He Wei, the commentator of Longguo National TV, sounded amazed.

"Two to one! Real Madrid takes the lead again, and this time. Can Barcelona come out of the panic?"

While the narrators are talking.

Li Mo has been surrounded by Real Madrid players.

Right under the noses of Barcelona's players, Real Madrid's players celebrated passionately.

The Barcelona players were completely frustrated at this moment.

This ball was thrown completely out of temper.

This made them very depressed.

Not long after the second half started, Real Madrid scored.

And during this period, Barcelona plans to take advantage of their home situation to get the start of the second half.

As a result, I didn't get the start.

Instead, the opponent directly used a counterattack to score a goal.

Moreover, Real Madrid's two goals are somewhat similar.

All goals were scored on counterattacks.

Thus.

Barcelona's players will be more or less defensive when attacking next. They will doubt themselves and feel that their offense is inadequate and the opponent's counterattack is deadly.

He laid siege for most of the day, and was pierced through with a single counterattack.

How else can we play this game?

When Real Madrid players celebrate their return to the pitch.

Barcelona players were surprised.

Ter Stegen is still lying on the ground!

Originally, Ter Stegen was lying on the ground and did not get up, and no one paid much attention. It was all because the German goalkeeper was too frustrated.

But now everyone is done celebrating.

Barcelona's players are ready to kick off again.

You are still lying on the ground.

how? Is this grassland Simmons?

Since it's not Simmons, there must be other reasons.

Mascherano hurried over.

"What's wrong?"

The Argentinian sounded a little anxious.

If Ter Stegen can't play.

Then Bravo can only come up from the bench.

"It seems like my back muscles are strained."

The German goalkeeper looked a little frustrated.

The competition for Barcelona's goalkeepers is still quite stressful.

Valdez is about to return from injury.

Bravo is also eyeing the main position.

If you are injured now.

There is a high probability that after returning from injury, he will have to sit on the bench, and he will not even have the chance to sit on the bench.

Ter Stegen knows how miserable it is to be a substitute goalkeeper.

He very much hoped that it was just a hard injury caused by falling to the ground when his body was twisted to save the ball.

But the muscles in his back exerted force slightly, resulting in a mask of pain.

He tried to stand up, but found that the muscles in his back were unable to work.

He will definitely be replaced this time.

Ter Stegen fell to the ground in frustration.

Sure enough, after the Barcelona team doctor's diagnosis, Ter Stegen will definitely not be able to persist in this game.

The back muscle strain has greatly affected his sports status.

Bravo quickly took off his jacket and put on a training vest to warm up.

Enrique frowned.

Lost the ball and the main goalkeeper was injured.

This situation is simply too bad for Barcelona.

He looked at the big screen at the scene.

It's now the sixty-minute mark of the game.

usually.

Around seventy minutes of the game is a relatively common substitution point.

In the last 20 minutes, switch to your second hand and give it a try.

And now after conceding the goal, Barcelona naturally cannot stick to the rules and has to wait until the last twenty minutes to make substitutions.

Enrique thought about it in his mind.

Ter Stegenya was substituted, occupying one substitution place.

In other words, he only has two substitutions left in his hand that can be adjusted.

So

How to change?

Enrique has his sights set on midfield.

Harvey is old.

Harvey, who was born in 1980, is now 35 years old.

Actually starting from last season.

Harvey's number of appearances has dropped a lot.

Even more so this season.

Enrique, the soul of Barcelona's midfield, has been almost sparingly used this season.

Not a particularly important game.

Xavi will not start.

Moreover, even if Harvey is the starter, his current physical fitness can only support about seventy minutes at most.

therefore.

Xavi also has to be replaced.

There is still one substitution left, should it be used as a back-up player, or should it be used now?

Enrique didn't hesitate long.

soon.

Three Barcelona players stood in the substitution area.

Enrique wanted to use up three substitutions in one breath.

For Enrique.

If the score cannot be equalized as soon as possible.

What's the use of the backhand?

It's like the sequencing of penalty shootouts.

Basically, the normal thinking is that the most stable penalty kicker is first, then second, third, fourth, and fifth.

Although, the fifth penalty kicker will probably get the most shots.

But for the team.

If the first four penalties are not good, the fifth penalty will probably be meaningless at all.

Now Barcelona does not have the power to choose the second choice.

Enrique must use this substitution to remind his players: if they don't seize the time now, they will have no chance at all.

Not only this game, but also this season's league, the same is true! "Barcelona will replace three players, Bravo, Rakitic, and Mathieu are standing on the sidelines!" "Bravo will definitely replace Ter Stegen, so who will Rakitic and Mathieu replace respectively?" The commentators also noticed the three Barcelona players standing on the sidelines. The answer was soon revealed. Rakitic replaced Xavi. Mathieu replaced Busquets. "Mathieu and Pique play as central defenders, Mascherano is pushed to the defensive midfielder position, Rakitic is replaced with Xavi, Barcelona's three midfielders are replaced by Rakitic, Mascherano, and Iniesta. Enrique made a big move in the midfield and chose to keep the trident of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar in the frontcourt." "Barcelona's midfield has replaced fresh forces, and they will continue to set off a wave of counterattacks!" Xavi, whose physical strength is about to bottom out, and Busquets, who performed poorly in defense in this game, were replaced. Barcelona replaced three people at once. Everyone can guess their purpose. They just want to use the replacement of new forces to offset the increase and decrease in morale of both sides after Real Madrid scored a goal. However, Real Madrid is not passively waiting for Barcelona to complete the substitution and then launch an offensive frenzy. When Barcelona made the substitution. Zidane pulled Alonso and explained: "Let's take the opportunity to launch a wave of attack!" Alonso nodded repeatedly, and he also knew Zidane's thinking. The other side replaced three people at once. The players who just came on the field and the remaining players on the field need some time to get used to each other.

And this time point can be used by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid gave up the ball possession in the front court before, not because they were incapable of controlling the ball, but because counterattacks were more cost-effective.

And now, as Real Madrid took the initiative to control the ball.

The expected offensive frenzy of Barcelona did not come.

Instead, they were pressed back to their own half by Real Madrid.

Rakitic and Mascherano are naturally not as tacitly as Xavi and Busquets in the La Masia youth training system, as the three midfielders of Xavi, Busquets and Busquets.

Therefore.

Rakitic and Mascherano were replaced to play in the midfield, and their defensive interception in the off-ball state might be slightly better than that of Xavi.

But the price is the relative decline in control.

Facing Real Madrid's offensive advancement.

Barcelona intercepted layer by layer.

But they finally had to shrink the lineup back.

Now it is Real Madrid's turn to take the initiative to attack.

Many people originally thought that this was just a surprise attack launched by Real Madrid after seeing Barcelona's substitutions.

But.

When this situation lasted for ten minutes.

People realized.

This was not a surprise attack.

Real Madrid was really suppressing Barcelona in Camp Nou and besieging the opponent!

"After Enrique made the substitution, Barcelona was suppressed by Real Madrid in the penalty area?"

"This is so surprising. Before that, Real Madrid took the initiative to retreat and counterattack. Now they are pressing forward. What is even more surprising is that Barcelona does not seem to have any good way to deal with Real Madrid's suppression for a while."

The commentators were very surprised at the current situation of the game.

This is at Camp Nou, at Barcelona's home court.

Barcelona, ​​which won the title of the universe team with the ball possession tactics.

In these ten minutes, I guess they can't even touch the ball skin?

The ball possession rate is directly 82!

Barcelona, ​​the ball possession rate is 82.

Such a scene is really beyond people's imagination.

Five more minutes passed.

Barcelona's players tried hard to grab the ball, but Real Madrid's ball possession was still as stable as Mount Tai.

Many times, Barcelona players seemed to have completely cut off the possibility of Real Madrid players passing the ball.

Real Madrid players easily resolved it with one move - passing the ball to Li Mo.

Li Mo always ran to an unexpected area to receive the ball and then protected the ball.

To get the ball back from Li Mo's feet, unless there was a foul.

In this situation.

Barcelona's defense can only retreat further and further.

They began to use the iron bucket formation that Barcelona people once despised the most to deal with Real Madrid's aggressive offensive.

"Barcelona was completely suppressed. They have been unable to organize an effective attack for fifteen consecutive minutes."

"Real Madrid's lineup is both offensive and defensive. They can control the ball and quickly get the ball back through pressing."

"Perhaps the only thing Barcelona fans can be thankful for is that they haven't lost the ball in these fifteen minutes."

The commentator Ole on the commentary stand shook his head and said.

In the next moment.

His pupils shrank.

"Li Mo!!!"

The volume suddenly rose.

Five seconds ago.

Li Mo retreated to respond.

As a center forward, he has a wide range of activities.

He has good physical fitness, active and effective off-ball running, outstanding passing and cutting awareness, strong impact and agile footwork, and can make a fatal blow when there is a chance.

Such a center forward perfectly meets the requirements of modern football for a center forward - why are modern football center forwards becoming increasingly withered?

It is not important to be a center forward.

It's just that modern football's requirements for centers are getting higher and higher, and the older they get, the more comprehensive they become, so that there are fewer and fewer players who can meet the requirements.

After Li Mo retreated, he successfully brought Mathieu out of the penalty area.

There was a temporary adjustment in Barcelona's defensive system.

Mathieu came out, and Mascherano was very aware of the danger behind him. Mascherano chose to retreat back into the penalty area, filling the gap left by Mathieu.

But as soon as Mascherano left.

There is a temporary space in his area - a space that will soon be replenished by Rakitic coming from not far away.

But there was a brief lack of understanding between Barcelona's players during this defensive handover.

Rakitic was one step late.

That's it.

Exploited by Real Madrid players.

Li Mo pressed Mathieu and passed the ball diagonally to Modric who was coming up.

The center forward acts as a bridgehead and provides the ball for the midfielder who comes in from the back row.

It looks like a very ordinary offensive routine.

But all this happened after Modric took a step forward with the ball.

Real Madrid's superstars showed their fangs.

Modric's step was very particular. He happened to bring it between several defensive players, at the junction of each defensive player's defensive area.

This made several Barcelona players who still have strong defensive sense of responsibility take a step towards this area almost at the same time.

You take one step, I take one step.

It doesn't seem like much, but the loopholes in the defense are exposed like this.

Li Mo turned around and shook off Mathieu.

Modric's pass reached just in front of him, a small space.

Barcelona's players quickly became aware of this exposed area.

They came back very quickly.

But no matter how fast they are.

It's not as fast as Li Mo's shot.

Li Mo, who turned around, didn't adjust at all and just shot with his right foot.

The football flew up along the space between the two defensive players, drew an arc in the air, and flew towards the blind corner of the goal like a knife cutting through butter.

Bravo has good skills with his feet. As a goalkeeper, his passing skills and calm mentality allow him to be used as an additional ball-playing central defender.

This is also the main reason why he was chosen by Barcelona.

But his ability to save is clearly flawed.

As a goalkeeper, he is not tall enough, his wingspan is not long enough, his saving skills are not good enough, and what is terrible is that his reaction speed is not particularly top-notch among goalkeepers.

The first generation's shooting death was not a wasted reputation.

Facing Li Mo, the ball speed was not particularly fast, but the angle of the shot was very tricky.

When Bravo swooped over, his hands were twenty or thirty centimeters away from the football.

Bravo, who was in the air, could only watch in despair as the football flew into the goal he was holding.

"Li Mo.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"Three to one! Three to one!! Real Madrid has expanded its lead!!"

"In the 77th minute of the game! Real Madrid scored again! Li Mo scored a hat trick!"

"This is Li Mo's 40th league goal in the league this season! His scoring pace is almost unstoppable!!"

Amidst the exclamations in the commentary box.

Courtside.

Barcelona coach Enrique closed his eyes in pain.

he knows.

As soon as this goal was scored, Barcelona was completely finished.

His team was completely defeated. (End of chapter)
