"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"

"A world wave! Absolute world wave!!!"

"Rakitic's long shot from the left corner of the penalty area penetrated Valdes' goal!"

"Oh my God, we were joking before that Chinatown's performance in the second half was completely different from the first half, and there might be hope to turn the situation around, but unexpectedly, we were right, 2-2, Chinatown tenaciously tied the score!"

"We saw Chinatown's players rushing out of the court frantically, rushing to the corner flagpole again, standing in a row in unison, raising their hands to salute, this scene also appeared when they played away against Real Madrid, But now, it reappears at the Camp Nou, and this is likely to become the standard goal celebration for Chinatown players. "

"Look at the slow-motion replay. The whole goal came from an interception by Illarramendi. He poked the ball away from Iniesta's feet. Carvajal grabbed the ball and quickly passed it to Koke in front. Koke then passed it horizontally to Herrera, and then passed it forward to Rakitic. The entire counterattack of Chinatown was very fast, all with one pass. "

"Barcelona's defense was also very timely. Xavi chased Rakitic all the way back. The Croatian midfielder's dribbling was still very stable, reflecting his good footwork. He didn't give Xavi a chance, and then passed it to Hazard on the left. "

"The key role of the top player was reflected at this moment. Hazard dribbled the ball alone and attacked Alves directly, but at this time he attracted at least two defensive players, Alves and Xavi, Otamendi behind him was also actively paying attention to assisting and protecting. They were obviously very afraid of Hazard's personal ability. "

"The Belgian's one-on-four against Real Madrid left a very deep impression on everyone. No one dared to be careless, but this time Hazard was very smart. After attracting the attention of the defense, he suddenly passed the ball back. "

"Rakitic was unguarded, and Hazard's kick was very comfortable, so he kicked it directly as soon as the ball came. After the arc ball passed the defensive player in the penalty area, there was a very obvious drop and it fell directly to the right side of the goal. In order to defend Hazard, Valdez stood to the left and was powerless to this shot. "

"This is a It was a very exciting counterattack, and Rakitic finally made a high-quality world wave long shot. "

"After joining Chinatown, the Croatian midfielder quickly became the team's midfield pillar and performed very well. Maybe he is not as good as James Rodriguez in creating opportunities and assists, but he is more comprehensive, good at attacking and defending, and can have an unexpected long shot at a critical moment. "

"Rakitic is definitely one of the most impressive midfielders in La Liga this season. "

…………

…………

The TV commentator praised Chinatown's players, especially Rakitic, who scored the goal. This long shot was really beautiful and exciting. It was definitely a rare world wave.

More importantly, this shot equalized the score for Chinatown.

Gao Han was also a little surprised by the team's performance in the second half. Even after Aubameyang scored, he hoped that the team could keep the score of 1:2. Even if they lost away, an away goal would give Chinatown a chance at home, and then they would slowly think of a way.

But what he didn't expect was that the players of Chinatown played more and more powerfully in the second half, and even scored two goals in a row.

"This Rakitic is not simple." Zidane nodded repeatedly.

Just this long shot is enough to show Rakitic's strength, not to mention that he performed well throughout the game.

"Yes, as early as when I coached Bayern Munich, he had already performed well in the Bundesliga. He was once the most promising midfielder rookie in European football, and even more outstanding than Modric at one time, winning everyone's affirmation, but his development in Schalke 04 was not satisfactory, which made us Chinatown pick up a big bargain."

Rakitic did become famous very early as Gao Han said, but his development was indeed not satisfactory. Even now, he has shined in the La Liga, but compared with everyone's expectations of him back then, he is still much inferior.

The main reason is that in the years he spent at Schalke 04, when young players needed to train in the games the most, he wasted his time and made limited progress. Otherwise, his achievements would have been higher than they are now.

"Young players are like this, full of crises and uncertainties. Injuries, environment, playing style, and even a little inner fluctuation may lead to his failure to develop." Zidane was also full of sighs.

After he retired, he had been optimistic about many French players, but many of them failed to perform as expected.

"Like Rakitic, it is already good. According to the current trend, at least he will be a first-line midfielder in Europe, but there are more people who have fallen to the point where they can't even play games, such as Portillo and Pavon of Real Madrid." Makelele also said with emotion.

When Makelele and Zidane played for Real Madrid, Portillo and Pavon were the two most promising newcomers in the team. Portillo was expected to inherit Raul's legacy, while Pavon was also valued by the Real Madrid management, who even launched the so-called Zidane plus Pavon policy.

But later the development of both players was unsatisfactory.

After Vicente del Bosque left Real Madrid, Portillo failed to gain trust and was quickly loaned to Serie A, which was incompatible with his playing style. As a result, he failed to get a chance. After that, he moved to many different teams, but all of them failed. He failed to perform and has now joined Las Palmas in the Spanish Second Division, but has not had a chance to play so far.

Pavin's situation is not much better than that of Portillo. This local central defender who was once alongside Zidane went to Zaragoza after leaving Real Madrid. His performance was also sluggish. Last summer, he joined the Ligue 2 club. Arles, but failed to get a chance.

In the blink of an eye, these two former teammates are now in their early thirties. Looking back on their past glory and current loneliness, it is indeed sad and regretful.

"Rakitic is lucky to meet you." Zidane looked at Gao Han with admiration.

If he hadn't encountered the cold weather, Rakitic might have transferred to another team, but it's hard to say whether he could have played well and whether he could have been as successful as he is now against Barcelona.

"I am also taking a gamble. He did not perform well at Schalke 04, but I believe in his strength." Gao Han smiled slightly. Of course he would not say that he had inspected Rakitic with a sharp eye and knew that although the Croatian The development was not as good as expected, but the strength was not bad, so I decided to sign.

"Pochettino's on-the-spot command in this game seems to be much more mature, and his substitutions are also very targeted and thoughtful. If the score of 2-2 can be maintained, then the second round of the game will be played." Zidane smiled and praised.

Not only did Chinatown score two valuable away goals in a 2-2 draw with Barcelona in the away game, they can definitely have more initiative when they return to the home court, because Barcelona must score.

Sergio Garcia heard this, but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What if we concede two more goals in the first half of the second round?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help laughing loudly, feeling somewhat helpless.

If they still play like this after returning to their home court, then Chinatown deserves not to advance.

Gao Han was also helpless about this and kept shaking his head. He also had no idea what kind of problems Chinatown was encountering now. Maybe it was really a psychological factor, but it was too elusive.

"To be on the safe side, I think Pochettino should defend first in the second round and focus on defense first, just in case." Zidane suggested.

If this game is a draw, Barcelona will definitely attack in the away game, and Chinatown will be able to defend and counterattack.

"Don't talk so early, let's wait until this game is over."

Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "There are still nearly ten minutes left in the game, and Chinatown may not be able to defend it."

…………

…………

It's exactly what Gao Han said.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Barcelona attacked the Chinatown goal almost desperately.

Guardiola and Barcelona's players are obviously very clear that if the home game draws two games against two, it will be very detrimental to Barcelona. In the second round of away games, they will be very passive.

On the contrary, Chinatown, with two away goals, will have more initiative in the second round. This is something Barcelona does not want to see, because they have also experienced Chinatown's defense in this game. .

Pochettino was born as a central defender, and he studied under Bielsa. He is also very accomplished in pressing and pressing. If it ends in a draw, the second round will be even more difficult than it is now. If he wants to win an away game in Chinatown The goal is even more difficult.

But Barcelona knows this, and everyone in Chinatown has thought of this.

Veteran Marcos Senna started this game. At this time, he had fought hard to the point of exhaustion, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on. He kept calling on his teammates to hold on to Barcelona's offense. .

The home team launched wave after wave of offensives, but Chinatown blocked Barcelona's offense in the penalty area and out of the goal again and again, allowing the home team to return without success again and again.

By the end of the stoppage time, both sides were fighting almost to the point of exhaustion, and many players were even unable to move forward.

But the referee still blew the whistle to end the game.

Two to two, Chinatown tenaciously tied with Barcelona in the away game.

At the moment the whistle sounded, many players from both teams collapsed directly on the court.

Chinatown's head coach Pochettino, members of the coaching staff and all the substitute players rushed into the field frantically, as if Chinatown had won the Champions League, and were so excited that they were carried away.

On the contrary, in Barcelona, ​​all the players were a little disinterested.

Otamendi took off his jersey and walked to Chinatown to congratulate his former teammates.

Although there is still a second round of the game, the stalemate of this game has made everyone in Barcelona get to know Chinatown again and understand the strength and will of this team.

Messi also took the initiative to walk towards Hazard, took off his jersey, and exchanged words with Hazard. The two communicated side by side.

Pellet, who was substituted, immediately ran to Ibrahimovic and wanted to ask for a jersey. Unexpectedly, Morata got the first step, which made the Italian very depressed.

Alba walked towards Busquets and Thiago, who were both teammates and friends during the La Masia period.

In the stands of Camp Nou, there was sparse applause.

Barcelona fans gave their precious applause to the tenacious Chinatown.
