Green Dragon

Chapter 454
Messi is on the bench.

His left leg hadn't fully healed yet, and every effort would cause a burst of uncontrollable pain.

In the plan of coach Vilanova, if Barcelona can score two or three goals in the first half, then they may still see a glimmer of hope, and the second half is bound to risk starting Messi.

But the first half was over, and they didn't see any light.

Amidst the cheers of more than 5000 home team fans at Camp Nou, Barcelona still couldn't break through Bayern Munich's goal!
Not only that, they also conceded a goal in the 37th minute, widening the gap in the total score again!

It was a massive press by Barcelona, ​​and defender Pique suddenly dribbled forward with the ball, trying to disrupt Bayern's midfield defense and create space for his teammates.

His idea is of course very good. Barcelona has trained a lot of such offensive routines, but it is a pity that he met Long Shute.

When Bayern No. 1 is defending, it is an iron gate across the middle of Bayern. With Pique's offensive ability, the probability of successfully breaking through his defensive area is probably less than [-]%...

After stealing the ball, Long Shute pierced the huge space behind Pique with a diagonal pass. Robben inserted from the right at high speed, and rushed into the 35-meter area of ​​Barcelona like a hot wheel.

Bayern's forward Mandzukic couldn't keep up with the speed of the old man Luo. Only Muller barely responded behind him. Of course, there was Long Shute who was slightly behind.

Long Shute's position is the lowest, and his start time is also the latest, but this does not affect Bayern's offensive in the slightest.

Robben's sprinting speed was so fast that he couldn't complete the inward cut. He could only go down the sidewalk under the action of inertia, then forcibly twisted his body, and passed the ball backwards to Muller who responded in the middle!

But... In order to catch up with Robben, Muller has also pushed his speed to the limit. With Erwa's foot skills, it is also difficult for him to adjust his shots in a hurry.

So Muller simply jumped up!
He didn't stop the pass, but let the football continue to roll backwards!

Valdes, who had already moved towards Mueller, could only look in the other direction in horror.

A meteor dragged a long tail and rushed into the penalty area from behind Muller!
At this moment, Baltra, the only central defender who stayed behind... immediately recalled the horror of being dominated by this meteor a week ago!
Baltra's legs didn't react at this moment, and he didn't even make a foul move, just watched Long Shute pass by with the football in front of him.

When Long Shute poked the ball into the goal with his left foot, Baltra felt a lot of sweat rushing out from the pores of his body!

Although Heynckes on the sidelines celebrated with his fists raised after the goal, he still severely criticized the team's performance after returning to the locker room:

"It's true that our tactics are defensive counterattacks, but this does not mean that we can waste opportunities. What I'm talking about is two wings, too sticky to the ball after taking the ball, lack of tacit cooperation with teammates, passing the ball within 5 meters There will always be mistakes, do you want to tell me that you didn't have a good rest because you were too quiet last night?"

It was actually Robben and Ribery who were criticized by his name. In the first half, they respectively wasted a few good counterattack opportunities. Barcelona's fragile defense had been torn, but the two wingers were wasted time on the final adjustment.

The two big shots didn't explain much, they just told the coach that they would do their best in the second half.

Nodding, Heynckes went on to criticize the midfielder:
"Bastian, if I were the scorer after the game, you must have the third lowest score today. Don't think that you have completed the task by sending two threatening balls. Your performance today is completely different from a week ago!"

Schweinsteiger bowed his head in shame.

Of course he knew why the head coach would be dissatisfied.

A week ago, the vice-captain of Bayern played 120% of his strength. When attacking, he often rushes forward with the forwards, and when defending, he becomes the No.3 central defender. The data of running nearly 15000 meters in the whole field also proves that His dedication, but this game...he obviously slackened a lot.

It's human nature, but it was the slack that led to four successful long shots from Pedro and Cesc Fabregas in his defensive area, and if Neuer's concentration was relaxed a bit, Bayern's lead would have been even greater. It is possible to shrink in half!
"Sorry, coach, I'll make myself more positive."

Xiao Zhu made a promise to Eunuch Hai in a deep voice.

Marshal Hai's criticism is not over yet, his eyes fell on Mandzukic:
"Mario, your retreat defense is very active, so aggressive that I can't find anything wrong with it, but... you may regard yourself as a full-back. We have so many people in the back line, and you need to always retreat. Into the restricted area?!"

Mandzukic shook his head again and again. His excessive retreat made the team often lose the bridgehead when counterattacking. After all, Muller is notoriously elusive. Even his teammates can hardly find this guy in the first place...

"Holger, Jerome, the cooperation between you should be more tacit. Villa's anti-offside should have sounded the alarm for you, right?"

Bud and Boateng nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Manuel," it was the goalkeeper's turn at the end, "You must be more decisive in your attack. You are not only a goalkeeper, but also in charge of the entire back line, you know?"

Neuer also turned into a chick.

"Some people may think I'm too conservative, because I have experienced the tragedy of leading four goals and still being reversed (a long time ago with Borussia against Real Madrid...)," Heynckes calmed down a little, and then continued, "But I have never felt that prudence is a wrong quality, I just hope that Bayern can finish this game with greater results, after all... this is the penultimate game of my coaching career in the Champions League."

Eunuch Hai suddenly said something, which immediately touched everyone.

Ram, the captain, was the first to stand up:
"The coach is right, we have to show more decent performance!"

Mueller groaned strangely:
"Remember what I said earlier? They dare to disturb our sleep, we must teach them a lesson!"
-
After the start of the second half, the Barcelona players found that their opponent seemed to have changed a team.

Bayern Munich, whose fighting spirit has been rekindled, changed its active defensive style in the first half, and reverted to the iron-blooded army that is tough and oppressive and must fight for every ball.

Xavi had just got the ball, and before he could use his dribbling skills, he was squeezed out of position by a strong man.

That was Mandzukic who retreated and pressed!
The physique of the Croatian striker undoubtedly overwhelmed Barcelona's brain. In front of Harvey, he is as difficult to fight as a mountain.

Mandzukic, who completed the interception, stabbed the ball to Long Shute, who was slightly behind, and the latter made a long pass directly!

The football found Robben on the right, but the old man Luo didn't dribble too much, but moved in a large range again, and found Ribery on the other side!
Two consecutive long passes made Barcelona's defense obviously loose. Ribery accelerated, wiped in from Adriano's side, and then decisively swept the ball into the middle of the penalty area!

Muller and Robben have already outflanked the goal, and there is Long Shute who rushed to the outside. This pass is quite threatening!
But... None of the Bayern players touched Ribery's pass, and Pique, who was struggling to chase back, was the first to touch the ball.

Pique stretched out his right leg towards the football, and the football immediately changed direction, making a 90-degree refraction from a horizontal flight!
That football...it flew into the home team's goal!
Own goals!
Barcelona 0-2!

The total score is 0-9!

Messi on the bench couldn't help but sigh.

He doesn't need to play.
