Chapter 222 Offense is the best defense
After scoring the goal, Barcelona's offensive was even more sensational, as if they wanted to score another goal before the end of the first half. If the gap could be narrowed to two goals, they would be able to turn the tables in the second half.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, we could see that every Barcelona player ran down with his head held high and his chest. They seemed to be eager to start the halftime break early and then listen to the head coach's adjustments in the locker room.
Or they wish they could cross the halftime, just like overtime, ended the first half, exchanged venues directly, and started the second half.
Messi and Suarez and Pedro Trident were walking down while covering their mouths with their hands, obviously saying something.
"...They may be summarizing the lessons learned in the first half so that they can score better in the second half. To be honest, the contact between the three people in the first half was not enough. If they could be closer in the second half, they would definitely pose a greater threat to Atletico Madrid's goal..."
Jose Maria was giving Atletico Madrid fans peace of mind: "Although Barcelona scored a goal, we still have three goals gaps with them. I believe that with Atletico Madrid's defensive ability, Barcelona won't be able to score three goals in the second half so easily. So don't worry, play steadily in the second half, first stabilize the defense and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, maybe they can steal one of the goals?"
Both sides are pursuing their own wishes.
※※※
The halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court, and the second half was about to begin.
Judging from the close-ups of the TV broadcast, both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid players seem full of confidence, as if they all feel that they will definitely become the winner.
The singing of Camp Nou has never stopped since the beginning of the game. Even at the halftime, Barcelona fans seemed to be holding a concert in the stands, singing one song after another.
Because of the goal in the first half, Barcelona fans saw hope.
After the second half began, Barcelona's offensive was still as fierce as the first half. Obviously, Enrique gave them an order during the break, requiring them to attack at the beginning of the second half to strive to score goals at the beginning of the second half.
If successful, Barcelona will have plenty of time, and with a strong morale, there is a high chance of scoring another goal in a short period of time. At that time, the situation will completely turn to Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid will fall into a full passive position.
Diego Simone is also very clear, so he repeatedly emphasized this to his players during the break. In the first ten minutes of the second half, you must stabilize the defense, improve your attention, and not be distracted. Then you can withstand Barcelona's offensive first.
After playing for five minutes in the second half, it was indeed the case. Barcelona bombed the goal around Atletico Madrid, and even the central defenders Pique and Mascherano have mentioned the center line position, which looks like people think they are midfielders...
Barcelona fans in the stands cheered louder and louder.
The storm has formed over the Camp Nou Stadium and vows to completely destroy Atletico Madrid.
But at this moment, Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack.
Gao Zheng took the ball and rushed into Barcelona's penalty area. Pique came up to defend. Gao Zheng did not engage in any more trouble with him, but passed the football to Griezmann, and he cut the run away and continued to rush into Barcelona's penalty area.
Pique did not think that Gao Zheng was not threatening because he passed the football, but continued to follow him firmly. He had suffered losses on Gao Zheng several times. If he didn't have a memory, it would be a waste of so much loss.
Although Pique was following him, Gao Zheng still raised his arm high while he was rushing forward, signaling Griezmann to pass the ball to him.
Griezmann can only pass the ball when facing Mascherano's defense.
Although he didn't know how Gao Zheng would get rid of Pike's defense, as long as Gao Zheng raised his hand to ask him for the ball, he would pass the football out. This is his trust in Gao Zheng.
He did not pass the football to Gao Zheng's feet, but passed the ball over the top, allowing the football to cross over Pique's head and chase Gao Zheng in front.
Gao Zheng turned around to observe the landing point of the football while running.
Pique directly clamped Gao Zheng's arm with his arm, interfering with him and preventing him from getting the ball easily.
When the football flew over, the two were still entangled, and Gao Zheng had no room or opportunity to get the ball at all.
"Pique entangled Gao!" said the Catalan narrator excitedly.
In fact, Pique's defensive move is suspected of foul. If Gao Zheng falls to the ground, the referee may blew the whistle.
But Gao Zheng did not do this because this is a matter of probability. It does not mean that if he falls, the referee will definitely foul Pique. After all, this is at Barcelona's home court, and the referee will be extra cautious when making every penalty.
If Pique hadn't had the obvious foul, he probably wouldn't have blew it.
By then, I will fall to the ground, but if the referee does not call Pique's foul, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Such an offensive opportunity will be wasted by him.
So Gao Zheng would rather take a try than give up the offensive opportunity so easily. ww.
Pique pestered him, he had no room to get the ball, yes.
Then don't get the ball!
Gao Zheng began to adjust his steps under Pike's entanglement.
When the football flew over, he didn't hesitate and swung his left foot directly while running, and in front of Pique's eyes, he drew the ball passed by Griezmann towards the goal!
With a "bang", Pique saw the football suddenly accelerate and flew towards the goal guarded by Bravo!
Because he was entangled with Gao Zheng and the position, he could not destroy Griezmann's pass in advance. Now he could only watch Gao Zheng complete the shot. All he could do was pray, pray that Gao Zheng would not be able to hit the ball within the goal frame, or pray that Bravo could save the football.
In his sight, Bravo had already risen and rushed towards the football with his arms stretched out.
But Bravo failed to touch the ball.
Gao Zheng ran to the left, and the football he shot with his left foot was indeed heading towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Bravo was originally following the football to move towards Gao Zheng's running direction, but Gao Zheng hit the football back. It was too late to try to pounce again.
"g" Jose Maria elongated his voice, and in his roar, the football passed Bravo's finger tube and fell into the goal from the upper right corner!
"L!!! A clean and neat volley! Gao didn't hesitate at all, he made a world shot! Atletico Madrid equalized the away game and scored another away game! Gao's goal almost sentenced Barcelona to death!"
The concert in the Camp Nou stands came to an abrupt end and ended here.
