The strongest winger

Chapter 939 Unexpected return to defense

The game entered the 10th and 3th minute, neither side dared to be careless. Now the score is 3:[-], as long as there is a mistake, the goal is very likely to be a lore, and there is no such thing as an equalizer.

So at this time period, there should be no mistakes. Both sides put more attention on defense, especially Ai Luo and Messi's performance is very good. If too many troops are invested in the offense, there may be problems on the defensive end, and a point will not be guaranteed at that time.

Although both sides of the game said before the game that they must score three points, Ancelotti and Guardiola both knew that a draw was acceptable. After all, compared to watching the other side win, one point is barely acceptable.

The league is a long season, only 26 rounds have passed, and there are still [-] rounds for them to run.

The Mestalla fans still maintained a very high level, and the cheers never stopped, especially when Ai Luo dribbled the ball forward, it was overwhelming...

However, in the 10 minutes, Aiello encountered a lot of trouble. Barcelona's defensive attention was basically on him, so that he didn't have much space to break through and shoot.

Seeing this, the commentator He Wei said: "As the game time enters the end of the game, Barcelona's defensive attention is basically on Aiello. Now it is difficult for him to get space to make a breakthrough. As long as he gets the ball, he will encounter at least four defensive players. Interference..."

"Many people were misled by Guardiola's removal of Keita and replacement of Llorente. In fact, Guardiola used Llorente, who is tall and strong and has strong ball control ability, to attract the frontcourt. In addition, Messi is cruising in the two ribs. That is to say, except Llorente and Messi do not need to defend, the other eight players have heavy defensive tasks, which allows them to maintain a high defensive quality when replacing Keita..."

Barcelona's restrictions on Aiello are very deep, and Valencia also has a lot of restrictions on the active Messi, which is also the biggest reason why the two sides of the game fell into a stalemate again after 10 minutes.

Another 2 minutes passed in the deadlock.

Except for two waves of attacks organized by the two sides, there is nothing conspicuous at all.

Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said: "At this time of the game, no one has the courage to take risks, but...the two sides still have a chance to make substitutions and adjustments, but I don't know when Ancelotti and Guardiola will use it."

No.805 minutes, Barcelona turned from defense to offense, Harvey passed the ball to Iniesta, who made an emergency stop on the spot and passed James Rodriguez and passed the ball directly to Llorente.

Albiol went up immediately, and Llorente didn't stick the ball under his feet, and directly passed the ball to Messi, who was flexible.

Javi Martinez, ignoring a yellow card on his back, sprinted sideways towards Messi who was forward with the ball.

What he didn't expect was that Messi suddenly changed the direction of dribbling the ball, from straight dribbling to horizontal dribbling, and had a wonderful pass with Javi Martinez, who was in Barcelona's half-circle arc.

However, Messi's lateral dribbling also affects his forward dribbling rhythm. After all, at this time of the game, his physical energy is also consumed a lot.

※※※

Xavi Martinez lost his position, Albiol needed to take care of Llorente, and Godin naturally shouldered the responsibility of stepping forward to defend Messi.

The right back Azpilicueta naturally retracted, and Godin defended Messi together while fighting and retreating.

In the blink of an eye, Messi crossed the halfway line and faced the two-man defense of Azpilicueta and Godin.

The Barcelona commentator in the commentary shouted: "Messi, Messi, this is an opportunity! Pass Valencia's defenders, stage a big four in Mestalla, and help Barcelona beat Valencia!!"

At the same time, both Azpilicueta and Godin know that the defense of fighting and retreating is not once and for all. If they advance to defend the 30-meter area, then this defense will be dangerous, and there must be at least one gap between Messi and football.

The innocent Godin volunteered to step forward, trying to keep Messi in place with a foul.

As a result, Messi alertly poked the ball forward with the toe of his left foot, and Godin just fell to the ground and slid the shovel...

This also resulted in a wonderful breakthrough that is very ornamental - piercing through the crotch!

Under the exclamation of nearly [-] Valencia fans at the scene, Messi continued to dribble the ball forward. Azpilicueta did not dare to foul like Godin because he had a yellow card on his back, so he had to choose a strategy of fighting and retreating.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly erupted from the sky above Mestalia.

This change can make Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola in the visiting team's command area a little surprised.

In his cognition, Messi passed Godin with a very humiliating move. Shouldn't the Valencia fans boo?

Why did it just become a loud shout?

This is not scientific!
Soon, Guardiola knew why the Valencia fans in the stands were chanting.

Because there was a white lightning passing over the Mestalla Stadium at high speed, the big number nine on the back told everyone who this lightning belonged to...

In the short period of Guardiola's amazement, Aiello was only about three meters away from Messi who was dribbling the ball.

His figure also entered the TV broadcast footage.

"Messi passed Godin, and he will face Azpilicueta with a yellow card next. Barcelona is dangerous!" CCTV commentator He Wei followed the white figure appearing in the camera, his eyes lit up, his voice suddenly turned, and shouted: "This... this is Aiello! He is chasing back at high speed!!"

The reason why Aiello returned to defense so actively has a lot to do with the troubles he encountered on the offensive end. In addition, when Harvey stole the ball, he was not attacking the ribs, but pulled 30 meters away, waiting for a breakthrough space.

As a result, the opportunity did not wait, but it was Barcelona's transition from defense to offense...

Closer to home, as Aiello got closer to Messi, the fans of the home team cheered to a higher level.

Messi, who was dribbling forward, frowned suddenly. With his excellent dribbling skills and keen senses, he immediately knew that an opponent player was chasing back at high speed, and he was getting closer and closer to him.

But he really can't think of anyone else in Valencia who can catch up so fast...

In the flash, Ai Luo was only two meters away from Messi.

According to his excellent speed, this distance is only a matter of a few tenths of a second.

When Azpilicueta was fighting and retreating, he saw the white jersey getting closer to Messi from the corner of his eyes. Although he had no extra experience to look up at people, he knew that this was a teammate.

So that's enough!

So Azpilicueta took the initiative to go up to the right to make a defensive move.

Messi's foot touches the ball super fast, and the distance between the football and the person is very subtle. During the high-speed dribbling process, he lightly uses the inner corner of his left foot to dunk the ball to the right, and breaks through from the opposite direction of Azpilicueta.

Before Messi could feel the joy of breaking through, he felt that the foot of the ball touched the obstacle, and then the whole person swooped forward...

※※※

When Messi tapped the ball to the right, Ai Luo chose to slide the tackle from the side and back. The goal was the football that left Messi's left foot.

And at this time, it was when Messi lost contact with football.

It was too late when Messi realized that someone was shoveling and wanted to pass the ball away. Aiello's right foot was just on the trajectory of the football, and the two forces came into a direct collision.

The next time, Messi dives forward and the ball stays at Aiello's feet.

This is... a beautiful shovel!
The Barcelona commentator said indignantly: "This is a foul! It is definitely a foul!"

However, the referee on duty did not blow the whistle in his mouth, but hooked his finger towards Messi who fell to the ground, signaling him to get up quickly.

Although the fans in the stands did not see clearly when Ai Luo fell to the ground and shoveled just now, it did not affect their support for Ai Luo, and huge cheers fell from the sky.

Aiello didn't get lost in the cheers of the fans, but used both hands and feet to get up from the grass in the first place and drive the ball forward.

At the same time, Guardiola in the visiting team's command area roared angrily at the fourth official: "Damn it! This is definitely a malicious foul behind the back!! Why didn't the referee blow it??"

At this time, Messi also saw who was chasing the ball at high speed and intercepted it...

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. With such a proud speed, who else can Valencia play on the field?

It's just that Messi didn't put his doubts on Aiello. As the team's attacker, he must have his own pride.

Defense?

That's just unpromising performance.

During the time Messi was distracted, Aiello waded the ball past Iniesta, who was actively participating in the attack.

Immediately after facing the poor Fabregas, Aiello chose to kick the ball to Harvey Martinez with the outside instep of his left foot, and then ran diagonally, out of Fabregas' control.

Harvey Martinez gave the ball knowingly to Aiello. The latter dunked the ball to the left with the inside corner of his right foot.

In this way, Barcelona's high-position press was nimbly dodged by Aiello and continued to move forward.

The cheers of the fans of the home team are getting louder and louder. In their cognition, Ai Luo will very likely kill the opponent at the last moment of the game!

At this time, as the team's only single midfielder Busquets had to stand up and deal with Ai Luo.

However, Aiello didn't mean to single out Busquets. He kicked the ball to James Rodriguez who was facing him, and accelerated to pass on the right side of Busquets.

In this regard, Busquets has nothing to do.

Had to turn around and rush towards James Rodriguez who was about to get the ball.

However, James Rodriguez was only used as a wall to play the ball for Aiello, which means that Busquets' defensive choice was completely wrong!
