From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 220 Unreasonable MSN

After conceding the ball in the first three minutes, Enrique shouted angrily and paced back and forth in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.

It's not that he didn't expect to lose the ball first in the away game, but he really didn't expect to lose the ball so quickly.

It's only been three minutes!

Bruno's first long-range shot was scary enough, and then he scored with another shot from a zero angle...

"Did this kid take drugs tonight?" Enrique pointed at Bruno, who was celebrating on the sidelines, and asked doubtfully.

Roberto Moreno smiled wryly and shook his head.

Doing drugs?

This is of course impossible, because players have to undergo random urine tests after the game. Once there is a problem in the urine test, the punishment they face is quite serious. How can a player like Bruno, who is only twenty years old and has an unlimited future, go to Breaking this taboo?

"His form tonight was really off the charts." Roberto Moreno said with a wry smile.

After all, Enrique was a man who had seen the world, and he quickly forced himself to calm down.

Udinese's desperate attack at the beginning, coupled with the fact that they must have focused on attacking and defending Barcelona's left wing before the game, made Udinese's start so smooth, and Bruno's condition was indeed at an all-time high. .

But these are no longer important. Barcelona has been forced into a corner now, and the rhythm of the game is also messed up. What should we do?

Are we going to press out and fight next? Or should we stabilize our position first and make plans slowly?

Enrique frowned and struggled for a while, then looked at his assistant Roberto Moreno.

But at this time, who can give Enrique an idea?

As the team's head coach, he has to shoulder this responsibility.

Thinking of this, Enrique gritted his teeth secretly, walked to the sidelines, and signaled the team to actively counterattack and must regain control of the ball and strive to score again.

………………

After Bruno scored a goal, Barcelona began to want to control the situation of the game. But Udinese obviously did not want to give up the advantage they had finally gained in the opening game to their opponents.

The three offensive players in the frontcourt began to actively press Barcelona's defenders, and the midfielder also pressed players including Busquets and Iniesta. This made it difficult for Barcelona to effectively pass the ball to the frontcourt. .

It wasn't until the sixth minute that Barcelona got a chance. Messi hit the goal from the right side of the penalty area, about fifteen meters away from the goal, but the shot was blocked by Maguire.

Two minutes later, Barcelona launched a long pass again. Danilo judged the landing point in advance and blocked Suarez with his body, forcing the latter to foul during the scramble and was whistled and warned by the referee.

Both attacks failed to threaten, and Barcelona's offense was obviously not as sharp as it was at home.

The cheering of more than 90,000 fans at Camp Nou is definitely a big buff for Barcelona players.

But now at the Friuli Stadium, the cheers of the fans are hard to hear, and the buff in this regard has been transferred to Udinese.

Every time Barcelona players take the ball, they will receive overwhelming boos, and it is understandable that their performance has declined.

………………

During the game, while Bruno was actively pressing the frontcourt, he was also observing his opponents to some extent.

He found that the reason why Barcelona performed poorly was not only because they lost their energy and rhythm at the start of the game because they were beaten by Udinese, but also because their physical fitness was indeed very bad.

Unlike Udinese who carried out a comprehensive rotation in the Serie A last weekend, Barcelona only carried out a rotation of 36 positions in the 4th round of La Liga with Real Sociedad last weekend, which also included the goalkeeper.

Although Barcelona, ​​which played with almost its entire main lineup, defeated Real Sociedad 2-0 at home, extending its advantage in the standings to 4 points and almost locking in the La Liga championship, the price paid was also huge.

The most obvious thing is that they all look very tired.

After Udinese loses the ball, they always start a counterattack on the spot as soon as possible. The purpose is not only to get the ball back, but also to delay the opponent. This reflects the players' advantages in physical fitness and running ability.

On the one hand it's because of tactics and habits, on the other hand it's because of physical fitness.

Although Udinese lost 1:4 in Serie A last weekend, all the main players got a rest, which allowed them to play today's game at their peak.

After Barcelona grabbed the ball and broke into Udinese's penalty area, Udinese's defense was basically in place, and the next step was to attack.

But on the other hand, several times Udinese stole the ball and launched quick counterattacks, quickly creating a threat.

………………

In this game, Udinese focused on attacking Barcelona's left wing.

Although Alba, who was born in La Masia, is also the top left back in the world, compared to his offensive talent, defense, which should be his job, is his weakness.

Although his world-class speed makes him very strong in entanglement, in terms of defensive skills alone, there is still some gap between him and Alves at the other end of Barcelona's back line.

It is precisely because of this that Alba's Barcelona left wing was used as a breakthrough point by Udinese. The 26-year-old Barcelona left back was really overwhelmed by the attacks of Bruno and Piris.

<divclass="contentadv"> Even in the tenth minute of the game, after Alba got the ball, when Bruno rushed towards him quickly, the Barcelona left back who looked a little nervous immediately took the ball The cross passed to Mascherano in the middle.

But the terrible thing is that Di Natale was near Mascherano and immediately intercepted the ball against the Argentine.

Mascherano lost the ball, and the Udinese captain rushed into the penalty area with the ball and hit the goal directly.

But the shot came in a hurry, and Barcelona was taken aback. Di Natale himself did not stay calm enough. He pursued the angle too much and failed to hit the shot with force. Ter Stegen saved it like a god.

The Little Lion King made a very crucial save!

When the ball flew out, Salah caught up and was about to pick it up, but at the critical moment, Pique cleared the ball first.

Although the crisis was resolved, Alba's mistake still caused everyone in Barcelona to break out in a cold sweat.

………………

After persisting for more than ten minutes, Udinese finally chose to defend and counterattack.

Although Barcelona started very passively, in the end, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Especially when they began to gradually stabilize their position, Udinese did not dare to be careless at all.

Barcelona obviously had physical problems, and they were caught off guard at the beginning, which made their players seem a little unexcited and less enthusiastic about the game.

At the very least, compared to the Udinese players who played at home, every one of them was as good as chickens. Barcelona's level of excitement was not even compared to Udinese, even compared to the first round. .

Starting from the 20th minute, as Udinese switched to defense, the game started to get a little boring.

Barcelona created a very good opportunity in the 21st minute. After Suarez pushed the ball forward, the overhead ball was passed to the right side of the penalty area. Messi directly volleyed the goal from a small angle and hit the side net directly. .

If this goal is scored, it will be very similar to Bruno's kick just now.

After that, neither side created too many opportunities. Barcelona seemed not excited enough, while Udinese focused on stability.

The two sides once had a conflict in the 28th minute. Iniesta and Vidmont had some conflicts while grabbing the ball, but they quickly hugged each other and resolved their grievances.

Bruno sent a good ball to Piris in the 30th minute, but the Paraguayan right back's shot slipped directly out of the door and failed to create a threat.

This has almost become a characteristic of both teams.

After an early start, Udinese defended their counterattack. Barcelona's condition was not particularly ideal, and they were suppressed. The rhythm was a bit chaotic and they failed to perform as they expected.

………………

But Barcelona is Barcelona after all. With many world-class stars, they are often able to score goals in unreasonable ways.

When the game reached the end of the first half, when Udinese's defense was slightly relaxed, Barcelona scored.

This goal is a comprehensive reflection of the ability of MSN, a super attacking combination.

In the 39th minute, Messi made a direct pass, and Suarez, who succeeded in countering offside, hit the right rib of the penalty area selflessly. Neymar easily scored into the empty goal, rewriting the score on the field to 1:1, and the total score was 4:2, and offset Lost Udinese's away goal advantage.

Neymar scored in 7 consecutive games for the first time since playing for Barcelona.

This sudden loss of the ball caused a big blow to the Udinese players, and then led to Udinese's second goal in the first half.

In the 45th minute, the MSN combination once again played a wonderful match. Messi headed back, Suarez counterattacked and passed from the right side of the penalty area. Danilo missed the ball and failed to intercept it. Neymar shot into the lower left corner from 10 yards.

This is Neymar's 37th goal this season, including 9 goals in the Champions League.

The MSN combination has scored 28 of Barcelona's 25 goals in the Champions League this season. Suarez became the third player in La Liga this season to score 3+ goals and assists.

The score on the field was rewritten to 1:2, and Barcelona overtook the score, leading the total score 5:2 and gaining the away goal advantage.

This means that if Udinese wants to eliminate Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final, they need to score four goals in the next time and also have to continue to concede goals.

This lost goal caused the entire Friuli Stadium to fall into silence. All Udinese people feel deep despair.

Just like the game away from Camp Nou, Udinese seemed to be in control of the rhythm of the game, but Barcelona, ​​with MSN, scored unreasonably and caught Udinese off guard.
