Chapter 457 Messi's Weakness

The two sides, who did not try at the beginning of the first half, slowed down in unison in the second half.

In terms of total points, Inter Milan is now leading by one goal, so they are naturally willing to delay the time.

Barcelona's feeling is not very good, because the advantage of away goals is wiped out, and they have to score three goals to advance if they concede one more goal.

And if they can defend well, they only need to score one goal in the second half, and they can drag the time into overtime, and score two to directly advance.

The Barcelona players are also confident. In 45 minutes, it is not difficult for them to score at least 1 goal.

After all, Inter Milan is not Chelsea, and Benitez is not Mourinho. Inter Milan's current defense is good, but it will not make Barcelona feel the pressure, at least there is no pressure to be eliminated.

It's just that as time went by, the Barcelona players gradually became unsteady and began to increase their offense against Inter Milan.

The reason is also very simple, Messi can't hold it anymore.

Messi, who has the level of a world champion in personal skills, has a fatal flaw in physical fitness.

He's not tall, fast, or physically strong.

For a long time in the future, his physical strength will be lacking, and he will often walk on the court.

When Barcelona were victorious, the media would praise Messi for being dominant even while walking the pitch.

But when Barcelona is defeated, Messi's weakness will be brought out and ridiculed.

Of course, Messi's physical problems do not necessarily mean that he did not train hard.

A player who can stand at the top of the world for such a long time, it is hard to imagine that he will be a player who does not work hard.

Even with Ronaldinho's extraordinary talent, the effort required to truly stand on top of the world is unimaginable to outsiders.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo is a representative of hard work, but in fact, Ronaldo's talent is also superb, otherwise Ferguson would not be valued by Ferguson at a young age, and he directly inherited Beckham's No. 7 jersey.

In the same way, Messi has always been known for his extraordinary talent, but in fact, anyone who thinks carefully will know that he has not worked hard, even harder than 99% of the players, to have such strength and status.

Although there is no direct evidence, his poor physical strength may have something to do with his previous illnesses.

Just like Da Luo in the past, although he likes barbecue, the real reason for his obesity may not be that he is not professional enough, and there are also reasons for his illness.

In short, the problem of poor physical strength is a further constraint that limits Messi.

Messi's performance in the life and death game has not been good, and he has physical problems.

And in this game, Messi has been working hard because of the mentality of not being able to lose.

He rarely ran actively, and his performance in the first half was so good and dazzling.

Even if Inter Milan put more than half of their attention on him, he was able to contribute one pass and one shot, almost defeating Inter Milan.

But in the second half, the problem of too much sprinting in the first half was completely exposed.

Even without much running, Messi's physical strength is gradually exhausted.

In the 72nd minute, he even ran off the court in dead time and vomited directly.

He really couldn't help it.

Seeing this scene, Barcelona's teammates and even the head coach Guardiola panicked.

Ordinary games are fine, but in such a critical life-and-death situation, who else can they rely on without Messi?

Guardiola hurriedly looked to his bench.

In all fairness, even on the bench in Barcelona, ​​there are many outstanding players.

If they go to other clubs, even among the top giants in Europe, they can compete for the starting lineup.

It stands to reason that the quality of such bench players is very high, and they are completely a bunch of bench gangsters.

But after watching a lap, Guardiola was not comforted at all, but became more panicked.

Among Barcelona's substitute players, is there anyone who can replace Messi?
No!

Messi is one of the top three superstars in the world, can he just replace it?

To add insult to injury, when Messi had a physical collapse, Li Ze seemed to be in good spirits after he had been robbing Barcelona players for so long.

Even in the eyes of the Barcelona players, his speed is even faster!
If Li Ze knew what they were thinking, he would definitely know that it wasn't that he was faster, and that he was using his full strength in the first half.

With so much physical exertion in the second half, it was impossible for him to maintain full speed even if he had sufficient physical strength.

There is only one reason for this to happen, and that is that the Barcelona players consume more energy and react much slower.

It's not that he's getting faster, it's that they're getting slower.

It's just that the Barcelona players are so nervous that they are a little confused, and they can't even tell such a simple thing.

Especially looking at Messi who has been forced to take a walk, everyone feels like there is a big stone in their hearts.

It's not that without Messi, they can't do it. Many of them are Spaniards and have performed well in the Spanish national team.

But in Barcelona, ​​Messi is the absolute core.

With Li Ze performing so well, they will unconsciously rely on their own core.

Now that Messi suddenly has this kind of problem, the biggest trouble is not so much affecting tactics, but affecting morale.

On the other side, Guardiola quickly regained his composure during the brief panic.

Rather than saying that he thought of a solution, it is better to say that he realized that he should not panic.

His panic will affect his players, so even if he pretends, he has to act as if nothing happened.

The only good news now is that although Messi has vomited, it seems that he is more unwell.

He runs weaker on the court, but even if he is weak, his role is more useful than many players with strong physical strength.

The reason is very simple, which one is more dangerous, a sheep with plenty of physical strength or a lion with little physical strength?
So even seeing that Messi was too tired to walk, Guardiola still didn't dare to let him go.

Even seeing him vomit on the spot, the Inter Milan players did not dare to relax their defense against him.

In fact, Messi's style of play is like this. He has very little real sprint time, but he is so dominant.

Although he is very tired now, he can definitely do it with one or two sprints.

The Barcelona players on the field also quickly realized that the responsibility of organizing the offense was transferred to Harvey, and the responsibility of breaking through the wing was transferred to Pedro.

For a while, Barcelona regained possession and even regained their confidence.

It seems that as long as they can keep passing the ball, it is impossible for them to lose!
On the other side, Li Ze observed silently.

He knew that as long as there is another goal, Barcelona is over!
