Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 293 Falling into a Disadvantage
In the opening stage, Barcelona's rhythm was not violent, and the formation was still 4-3-3. Only Iniesta, who had a relatively heavy organizational task, was relatively forward.He is the well-deserved offensive brain of the team. The other two midfielders, Dennis Suarez's task is to connect the midfielder and the backcourt, while Busquets drags behind, doing his best interception and defense.

See any noticeable changes?
That's right, Paulinho was not placed in the starting lineup in this critical final, but was waiting for an opportunity on the bench.

"Abandoning Paulinho, is Valverde dissatisfied with his performance against Atletico Madrid in the first two times? Haha! But Paulinho is really not Wen's opponent if he tries his best!" Garcia joked.

He Wei, on the other hand, embodies the outstanding characteristics of Chinese commentators' rigor, and warned Atletico Madrid: "Valverde obviously left Paulinho as an important backer. Atletico Madrid must pay attention to Barcelona's sudden strength in the second half. In this system, Paulinho's role as a substitute is much more obvious than that of the starter!"

From the head coach's overall point of view, Valverde's adjustment in the midfield was successful from the opening situation. Not only did he control the ball and control the rhythm, but more importantly, with two midfielders who are good at organizing, Barcelona can easily break the interception of Atletico Madrid's midfielder.

Although Barcelona has no intention of speeding up the tempo, Simeone is not at ease in his heart. He has not seen an integrated defense and an integrated defense.

Simeone's face froze, and if he continued to fight like this, there would be big problems.

If Atletico Madrid loses the support of the midfield's tireless running and fighting, it will lose the biggest hole card to restrain Barcelona's pass control, and it will also affect the quality of counterattack.In that case, all Atletico Madrid can do on the field is exhausted.

The stars on the opposite side obviously also found that the oppression they received today was not as strong as in the league.After 15 minutes of careful testing, Barcelona's offensive focus shifted from the side to the center, pursuing a straight attack on Huanglong.

The atmosphere in the Barcelona stands was very warm. Although Barcelona hadn't knocked on Atletico Madrid's goal yet, the fans felt very happy, very happy, and let out a bad breath.Moreover, side attack is not Barcelona's specialty. According to the current situation, scoring is only a matter of time.

Barcelona's central attack is very targeted. Iniesta deliberately came to the right side, just on the side of Godin's defense. Messi's role in this game is not a pure right winger, but more of cruising at the front of the penalty area, at the junction of Atletico Madrid's defense.His physical flexibility and foot skills are enough to ignore Godin. With the cooperation of Iniesta, Messi, who is accustomed to his left foot, doubles the lethality of the inside attack on the right.

Godin's height and long legs are originally the advantage of a defender, but everything has two sides. In front of an elf like Messi, this is the biggest disadvantage.Messi used two fake moves, and Godin's center of gravity didn't know which direction to go.

When Godin came back to his senses, Messi had already entered the penalty area. At this time, even the right defenders Juanfran and Gabi chased after him to make up the defense. It was already difficult to stop Messi from kicking.

"WOOOOOW!!! The goal is scored! Suarez put us ahead of the Madrid people! But the biggest highlight is that Messi finished off Godin's performance! Haha! Atletico Madrid is the world's number one central defender, but that's it!" The Catalan commentator was ecstatic.

He Wei stood at the standpoint of Atletico Madrid, feeling very mad at this moment, but he still tried his best to hide it. He could only say in a low voice: "I said before the game that Atletico Madrid must not be led by the rhythm of Barcelona. This goal is a lesson. In addition, Wen Zhihao seems to have some problems today. So far, his running on the field has obviously decreased a lot. Although he does not contribute much on the defensive end, his running can effectively drive the offense and defense of the midfield. So far he is not doing as well as before."

Many Chinese fans were very unhappy with He Wei's words.Wen Zhihao has played high-intensity games for a season. Players are human beings after all, not game machines. Is physical fatigue not allowed?If Wen Zhihao is so picky, if Wen Zhihao is injured, he will not be able to play in the Champions League final or even the World Cup. Isn't it you, the media, who will make the most noise?Is it necessary to question his ignorance of priorities?

Although he was scored by his opponent, Wen Zhihao was not particularly anxious. Although he didn't have much experience in the finals, he knew that only when he had a stable mentality could he seize the opportunity to tie the score. It was quite normal to be scored by Barcelona.If you mess up at this time, you really have no chance.

Simeone warned everyone in the locker room before the game to maintain enough patience, allocate their physical energy reasonably, and be mentally prepared to survive the penalty shootout with their opponents.

Wen Zhihao did not despise Barcelona psychologically, but he did have the idea of ​​preserving his physical fitness for the second half of the game.The disadvantages of the team in the first half of the game are indeed related to their lack of investment, and their thinking has a lot to do with looking forward and backward.

"Wen, something is wrong with you today. Are you healthy?" Gabi came over to express concern. Everyone could see that Wen Zhihao had reservations. As the team captain, Gabi was even more worried that Wen Zhihao would not mention his injuries in order to play in the final.

Wen Zhihao knew that he meant well, so he waved his hand: "It's okay, you're overthinking."

Gabby nodded and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

This scene stimulated Wen Zhihao a bit. It is no exaggeration to say that he is already a core member of the team and should actively drive the whole team on the court.On the contrary, because of his own responsibility, he brought the team into a predicament where the score was behind and the scene was suppressed.Is it a little too sorry for the trust of teammates and the head coach?

Gabi continued to inspire the team's state through body language on the court, which is his duty as the captain and spiritual leader on the court.And Wen Zhihao's drive is directly manifested in actions.

Since the kick-off, Wen Zhihao has never taken the initiative to press. A veteran player like Iniesta is still vigilant all the time, but Denis Suarez is relatively young.The tough shovel directly steals the ball, and the whole movement is clean and coherent.At the same time, the huge inertia brought Suarez down on the turf.

This was just the first step. No one expected that Wen Zhihao would stand up with one hand on the ground after finishing this defense, take the ball in front of him with one step, and then start his signature sprint with the ball!

"Good shot! He defended one-on-one with great energy, Wen Zhihao counterattacked with the ball, and his state seemed to return to normal suddenly!" He Wei shouted excitedly.
