The strongest winger

Chapter 747 Isn't this a foul?
Unknowingly, 10 minutes had passed in the second half, and it was only half a minute since Barcelona’s last attack. Puyol snatched Lampard’s long pass to Drogba under the help of Yaya Touré, and then passed it to Xavi, so Barcelona continued to attack.

The football was quickly passed to Messi's feet, Mikel quickly moved to block Messi's inside route, and Ashley Cole was also standing on the defensive left flank.

Messi stepped on the ball back and forth a few times. Seeing that Mikel and Ashley Cole were unmoved, he pulled the ball to the right side of his body, and then passed the ball to Alves who was pulled to the right winger position.

Alves swung his right foot and made a 45-degree cross from the right. Ashley Cole instinctively moved over and jumped up to interfere, but Alves made a change this time and did not pass directly.

Messi kept the ball and pushed the ball directly with the arch of his left foot into the no man's land behind Ashley Cole, and Alves inserted it at high speed.

Suddenly, Chelsea's solid defense appeared fatal at this moment.

Standing off the field, Guardiola instinctively clenched his palms in his trouser pockets. This was the change he was looking for in the second half. If he always attacked at the same rhythm, it would be difficult to score goals even against a weak team. Therefore, facing a master-level defensive team like Chelsea, one must get used to one rhythm and suddenly change the rhythm, causing the defenders to panic.

"---Danger!"

Clive Walker sitting in the live studio exclaimed.

A burst of cheers erupted from the stands, obviously full of reverie for Barcelona's attack.

It was too late for Ashley Cole to chase Alves back, because he still had time to turn around and accelerate, and Alves only needed to accelerate obliquely, so Mikel, who was defending Messi, chose to accelerate in a straight line to grab the ball before Alves made a pass.

But Alves didn't make a cross, but dunked the ball hard with the instep of his right foot, and an inverted triangle pass passed the ball back to Messi.

Mikel realized that Alves was passing back the inverted triangle and it was too late to react, so he could only hastily turn around to rescue him, but if he waited for him to defend Messi, the day lily would be cold.

It was too late for the other midfielder, Ballack, to make up for it, so Terry stepped forward decisively to protect, hoping to force Messi to make a mistake, and no matter how bad it was, it would cause him to pass the ball back. However, this situation can only happen in subjective thinking, and it is impossible in reality.

Terry's approach also left a clear space where he was originally, while at the same time, Iniesta rushed forward from Ballack.

Messi didn't wait for Terry to step forward and directly used the toe of his left foot to pick a pass into the penalty area, that is, the space left by Terry's step forward. Iniesta passed in front of Ballack and then obliquely inserted into the penalty area.

"Messi picks a pass!" The Catalan commentator shouted.

Cech decisively chose to attack, hoping to intercept the ball, but Iniesta did not intend to give him this opportunity. Messi passed the ball very well. He spotted the football and volleyed directly from the right rib of the penalty area about 13 yards away!

Cech instinctively made a movement to the left. His left elbow drove his palm down to save Iniesta's shot, but he was helpless because the forward speed of the football on the turf was faster than his downward speed. Coupled with the angle, the football almost rolled into the goal against the right post.

Awwow
The cheers of Camp Nou flooded in all directions like a torrent. All the fans of the home team opened their voices at this moment, cheering desperately for the team's goal.

Messi, who assisted, was even happier than Iniesta who scored the goal. He caught up with Iniesta excitedly, and then jumped up, waving his fists with his back against the direction of the goal.

I don't know whether to vent my inner emotions in front of Ai Luo who is near the half court, or to show my strength in front of the stands with huge posters of myself.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the conceded goals during this time period. He was going to replace Modric to strengthen the offense after 5 minutes, and then won the game at the Nou Camp in one fell swoop to win the second round.

But... everything was wiped out by conceding the ball.

Just when Barcelona was celebrating halfway through the goal, the on-site director very interestingly switched the camera to Ai Luo's face, and then used technical means to push it to a close-up of the face.

In the camera, Ai Luo's hairstyle has become a little messy after more than ten minutes. His forehead is covered with sweat, and grass clippings remain on his cheeks. Coupled with the frown between his brows, it is obvious that he has not accepted the team's conceded goal.

Iniesta's goal ignited the enthusiasm of the home team fans in the stands, and the players on the field worked harder and harder. Even if Chelsea had the advantage of kicking off after losing the ball, they quickly intercepted the ball through high pressing.

Through continuous and quick kicks, Messi received the football on the right, and then through the frequent rhythm changes under his feet, he directly shook Mikel, who was retreating in small steps, to the ground.

After knocking down Mikel, Messi dribbled the ball sideways fiercely. Taking advantage of Iniesta's high-speed thrust to attract Terry's attention, he swung his left foot directly at the front of the penalty area and swung the ball with his left foot.

Then a loud exclamation erupted from the stands.

"Iniesta's goal not only boosted the atmosphere of the fans, but also boosted the state of his teammates. If the goalkeeper Petr Cech hadn't played well, Barcelona would have scored two goals in a row within 2 minutes! It's too thrilling!!"

Accompanied by the exclamations erupting from the stands, He Wei felt as if he was on the scene.

Xavi took a corner kick, and Yaya Toure overwhelmed Aiello to head the ball towards the goal. Cech once again showed his amazing wingspan, lifting the ball over the crossbar with one palm.

Now it's Guardiola's turn to be dissatisfied, but he is not dissatisfied with Yaya Toure, but dissatisfied with this goal. He thinks his luck is too bad!If the ball is scored under continuous pressure, then Chelsea will definitely be crushed!
At the same time, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, turned his head and shouted at Boas: "Call Luca!"

※※※

Ai Luo turned his head and took a surprise look at the black and hard Yaya Toure. He really didn't expect that someone would be able to snatch the ball in front of him and hit the goal. It's really rare once a year!
But... this kind of situation can only be seen once a year, and there is no way to see it the second time. Harvey took another corner kick and he easily cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Two minutes later, Chelsea took advantage of a dead ball to make personnel adjustments, replacing the useless Malouda with Modric, changing the formation from 2 to the current [-], and at the same time giving the central defender an extra layer of protection.

As Modric came on the court to drive the change in position, whether it was Messi breaking through and shooting or breaking through and splitting the ball, they were all weakened to varying degrees.

After all, Messi picked Iniesta before because the barriers in front of the central defender were not enough. Mikel pulled out to defend Messi, and Ballack had to stay to protect a large area at the front of the penalty area, so he had no time to take care of Iniesta who was high-speed.

And Modric's playing also gave Chelsea a good chance to counterattack. His ball control, passing, ability to get rid of and vision were not possessed by previous Chelsea players. Facing Iniesta, Eto'o and Messi's three-person double-team, they can calmly distribute the ball to the safest place, so Chelsea can firmly control the ball in the backcourt, and then advance layer by layer.

"Modric's playing gave me the feeling that I changed a team. Barcelona has no way to organize a second attack through high-position pressing as before. He can completely send the ball to the safest area under the pressure of the other two..."

As the situation on the court changed, Lineker nodded and smiled.

Chelsea's midfield was able to hold the ball, which meant that their attacking formation could slowly press forward, and Aiello got more dribbling opportunities as a result.

In the 66th minute, Modric took the ball in the middle and got rid of the defense of Harvey and Iniesta and passed it directly to Aiello. Yaya Toure quickly moved to his side to defend the left side and defended with Alves.

Facing the increasingly active Ailuo, he dare not neglect. In addition, Alves has a yellow card on his back. If he accidentally receives a second yellow card, he will be in trouble. Therefore, Yaya Toure's defensive attention is more concentrated than Alves.

Without waiting for Yaya Toure to approach, Ai Luo used a quick switch under his feet to defend Alves' ribs. Yaya Toure didn't wait for Alves to turn around to defend, and directly put a shovel on the side and rear, but Ai Luo had already prepared to stab the ball forward in advance.

As a result, Ai Luo lost his focus and fell on the turf.

But what surprised Yaya Toure was that the referee did not blow the whistle, but made a hook at Ai Luo, which meant: Get up quickly!
Ai Luo was stunned for half a second, then spit out the grass clippings in his mouth, stretched his arms and raised them high. Isn't this a foul?

"Isn't this a foul?" He Wei stared at the referee's hand gesture.
