Prominence in Football Community

I have to say that Barcelona's attitude in this game is indeed much better than the previous game. From the moment the players entered the field, Barcelona fans are helping the team to put pressure on Atletico Madrid. They sing the team song and spell out the Barcelona team Huge TIFO of Hui... all of this is to put pressure on Atlético Madrid, make them feel the pressure, the feet are weak, the head is confused, and they can't concentrate on the game.

After the start of the game, Barcelona actively put pressure on Atletico Madrid and launched a full-court press.

As long as Atletico Madrid players have the ball, there will be Barcelona players going up to press, forcing them to not hold the ball properly and think calmly.

Through this pressing, Barcelona did create a lot of chances.

Not long after the start of the game, Messi picked a pass from the front of the penalty area, and Pedro shot from about ten meters away from the goal in the penalty area. The football was saved by Oblak to the bottom line.

In the ensuing corner kick, Atletico Madrid fell into a scuffle in front of the goal. In the chaos, Pique volleyed in front of the small penalty area, and the football hit the crossbar!

"Pique! Beautiful shot... Oops!" The commentator of Radio Catalunya held his head in his hands with regret.

"The crossbar saved Atletico Madrid! Barcelona's offensive after the opening was really fierce, we must hold on!" Jose Maria was a little worried.

But when it was televised to Diego Simeone, the Atlético Madrid coach seemed unflappable, as if he had anticipated the situation.

He had expected it a long time ago. If he still can't imagine how Barcelona will play when he returns to his home court, then he might as well stop being the head coach.

Obviously Barcelona is going to fight for their lives.

At this time, Atletico Madrid needs to remain calm and must not be intimidated by Barcelona's rapid offensive.

He even gave the defense line the task of making them "offside" before the game. You must know that making offside tactics is a very risky tactic, and it will test the tacit understanding and tactical discipline of every player on the team's defense line.

And even if the players are very understanding and disciplined, they may make mistakes during the game.

A mistake can be fatal.

So not everyone is willing to adopt this tactic.

But Simeone used it, and I don't know if it was stupid and bold, or he had absolute confidence in his players.

In fact, the effect of making offside tactics is really good-because the Barcelona players are too anxious. They can't be in a hurry. After all, they are four goals behind, and they must attack at the beginning. They must score early, so that they will have more time for the next three goals. If the first goal can't be scored, then what is the reversal?

Simeone was really anxious about the Barcelona players, causing the defense to frequently offside.

This line of defense used to be the best in La Liga. Although Miranda has been replaced by Jimenez this season, Jimenez has always been in the team. Personally in the national team is a central defender partner, the degree of tacit understanding is no less than that of Godin and Miranda.

Under Godin's command, Suarez, Pedro and Messi all fell into the offside trap one after another.

But in this case, you can't complain that the Barcelona players are too anxious, there is nothing you can do if you are not in a hurry. This kind of time can't come slowly. Barcelona's previous style of passing back and forth to control the rhythm, dragging the opponent into their slow rhythm and then suddenly speeding up, stabbing the fatal blow is completely useless in this situation. .

In addition to causing offside, in order to stop Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico Madrid also had to foul.

So he gave Messi a free kick 25 meters away from the goal.

"The distance of this free kick has entered Messi's range!" The Catalan commentator shouted expectantly.

Seeing Messi place the football carefully, take a deep breath and step back to take the penalty, many Barcelona fans in front of the TV are eager to move - should the goal be scored?

This goal should have been scored. You must know that 30 minutes have been played in the first half, and the score is still 0:0. Barcelona should have scored in the opening ten minutes...

So a goal must be scored at this time, otherwise there may not be much time left for Barcelona.

But under all the attention, Messi's free kick went over the crossbar!

Although it's only a little bit taller, it's taller if it's taller, and you can't get through the door even if it's a centimeter taller.

Barcelona has been unable to score a goal for a long time. Although Atletico Madrid is pressed in their own half most of the time, they still have a chance to counterattack.

In the 38th minute, Pedro made a pass error in the midfield. After the football was picked up by Griezmann, it went straight ahead.

Gao Zheng, who was at the top, received the ball and at the same time used a "fried ball" to shake away Mascherano, who was rushing up, and entered the penalty area.

But then his shot went slightly wide and hit the side netting.

"High! Oops!!" This time, it was José Maria who held his head in both hands regretfully. "Gao missed the opportunity to completely end this game!!"

Gao Zheng also regretted the missed goal. He first turned around and gave Griezmann a thumbs up when he passed the ball to him, then raised his head and let out a long sigh.

The Barcelona fans in the stands ridiculed Gao Zheng for missing this opportunity by applauding, and some shouted at him: "This is the Nou Camp, this is the Nou Camp!!"

It means that your method doesn't work here!

Shortly after Gao Zheng missed the chance to score, Barcelona finally broke the deadlock on the field.

In the 43rd minute, Rakitic made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Suarez directly used his chest to push the football to Messi in the penalty area. Messi ran into the space and was unguarded!

"Chance--!!"

In the roar of the Catalan radio commentator, Messi stopped the football with his chest, then swung his foot and pushed the football towards the goal before Godin could grab it.

Faced with this push shot that was close at hand, Oblak couldn't react in time and failed to touch the football.

The ball flew into the goal!

"Messi --!!!!!! Messi!!! 1:4! Only three goals away! We still have a chance! We are still alive!" The Catalan commentator shouted excitedly.

If the Barcelona team can maintain this momentum, it is not impossible to score three more goals in the remaining 50 minutes!

Enrique rushed out of the coach's bench after Messi's goal and shook his fists on the sidelines.

Messi himself did not celebrate. After scoring the goal, he rushed into Atletico Madrid's goal immediately, grabbed the football before Oblak, held it in his arms, and ran towards the center circle.

He knows that every second counts for Barcelona right now.

Other Barcelona players also came up and surrounded him, but not to celebrate, but to accompany him to bring the football to the middle circle.

No one is ecstatic, because they know very well that this one goal is just the beginning, it is far from enough, and they still need more goals. So it's not worth being happy now.

Looking at this scene of united efforts, the Catalan commentator's eyes were a little deep. He tried to calm himself down and said, "Barcelona's counterattack has begun!"
