Legendary Godfather

The ball went in, two to zero!

Crystal Palace led Barcelona by two goals, and the fans at the scene were dumbfounded.

People in Barcelona couldn't believe it.

They had never been so embarrassed when they played against Juventus in the Champions League final last year. Today they played so badly against Crystal Palace? Is this fake?

The commentators were stunned.

They didn't expect that the game would progress like this.

This is not just two goals scored by Crystal Palace, this is also a complete suppression of Barcelona.

Rare, so rare.

If this game continues like this, it is no longer a matter of whether Barcelona will lose, but how much it will lose!

Will Barcelona be massacred?

hiss!

This is scary just thinking about it.

The camera at the scene was focused on Barcelona's head coach Enrique. Enrique looked serious. What was he thinking?

The camera immediately turned to the other side and focused on Tong Yi.

Unexpectedly, Tong Yi stared at Enrique!

This picture is interesting.

The fans in front of the TV could see it clearly. They were all guessing what the two men were thinking at this time.

This is destined to become a famous scene, and many people will still clearly remember it many years later.

To be honest, even after falling behind 2-0, Enrique and the Barcelona players did not panic.

Even a score of zero to three cannot defeat them.

They are still very confident in themselves, otherwise how could they be called Team Cosmos?

Enrique's reaction was still very quick, and he immediately came to the sidelines to signal the Barcelona players to calm down and not to be anxious. Just follow their usual style of play. They can win this game.

Then he called Messi, Iniesta and Rakitic to his side. I don’t know what he said?

These three people nodded frequently, indicating that they understood?

What is this for?

To strengthen Messi's ball-handling offense, let Iniesta and Rakitic take turns to help Mathieu defend?

If you think about it carefully, this is really possible.

Tong Yi stared at Enrique closely, as if he wanted to see through Enrique's mind!

He immediately turned around and pointed at Messi towards his defensive player Robertson, asking him to follow Messi closely during this period and not give this guy too many opportunities.

In this game, the reason why Robertson didn't have many assists was to keep an eye on Messi.

Robertson sticks to Messi like a piece of candy. Wherever Messi goes, Robertson will go! Unless Messi and Raphinha switch sides.

Robertson spent all his energy on defense.

Crystal Palace is still pressing with high risk and intensity, but Barcelona is really good here. The midfielder passes the ball much faster than other teams.

, and also very accurate. The tacit understanding between them was vividly displayed. At this moment, Iniesta suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the feet of Messi who was advancing.

Robertson immediately followed up from behind, preventing Messi from turning around!

Unexpectedly, Messi had expected it. Before Robertson could get close to him, he moved the football behind him with his left foot. Then he quickly spun around and bypassed Robertson who was approaching. Then, he suddenly accelerated and chased the football...Bang!

Messi's body instantly lost balance and fell to the court.

beep!

The referee immediately blew the whistle, indicating that Robertson had committed a foul, but did not show a yellow card or even a verbal warning. After all, Robertson only committed a foul, and Messi did not do it alone. This is not even a tactical foul, so it does not meet the standard of a yellow card.

However, this really ruined the Barcelona attack.

Yes, this is what Tong Yi requested.

After the high pressure in the frontcourt failed, he fouled immediately and immediately, without giving the Barcelona people a chance to attack.

This is the second reason why the Barcelona people played awkwardly in this game.

Crystal Palace seems to want to minimize the risk factor. Once the high pressure in the frontcourt fails and there is a slight sign of danger behind, they will directly foul and intercept the opponent's attack.

Moreover, it is okay to give the opponent a direct free kick from this position. After all, it is still more than thirty meters away from the goal. Although it is barely within shooting range, the threat factor is indeed very low.

Moreover, Tong Yi and the others also have full confidence in Alisson.

Therefore, it is okay to give a direct free kick.

This made the Barcelona people feel very sick. The speed of Crystal Palace was really stuck in their most uncomfortable position, making them very unhappy. Even the emotions of the Barcelona players were a little irritated and provoked. The Barcelona players were very unhappy and put pressure on the referee from time to time.

When did Barcelona suffer such injustice? I think back then, when their godfather was here...

It's a pity that Platini is now unable to protect himself.

Not long ago, Platini was very proud and announced in a high profile that he would participate in the FIFA main event. The election for seats.

How long has it been since?

In less than a month, Platini was involved in the fake gambling scandal and was criticized by many people. Now it is a bit of a pushback. It is said that FIFA has the intention of suspending and banning Platini.

Therefore, at this sensitive time, some referees do not dare to favor Barcelona, ​​and even the penalties against Barcelona are somewhat harsh. After all, it is rumored that Platini is Mo Ren's godfather, which has brought Barcelona a lot of profits.

Although these are rumors and have not been confirmed

of.

However, some referees are wise to protect themselves and want to draw a clear line with certain things.

Therefore, it makes sense that the referee in this game was a little biased towards Crystal Palace.

Of course, this is not actually partiality, but just a loosening of the penalty scale. This is not just for the Crystal Palace, but the scale here in Barcelona is also the same. For fouls involving the same action, the referee gave the same penalty to both sides, without favoring anyone.

It's just that Crystal Palace's tactics are more aggressive, they seem to relax a little more, and they commit more fouls.

Therefore, many fans feel that the Crystal Palace football is dirty, the players of the Crystal Palace are playing dirty tricks, and the referee is favoring the Crystal Palace. Isn't this a card?

In fact, Barcelona people also commit a lot of fouls, but they are just less frequent.

Therefore, many people seem to think that Barcelona's defense is very clean, and they will not commit violent fouls unless absolutely necessary, or even foul at all!

Shit!

The referee's penalty scale is the same, but the scale is slightly looser.

The Barcelona players still surrounded the referee, trying to put pressure on the referee to show Robertson a yellow card.

Unfortunately, the referee did not say anything and just signaled the Barcelona people to take a free kick quickly.

There was no way, the Barcelona people had no choice but to retreat, and then Messi took a direct free kick and a long-range shot. To be honest, it was not a big threat. The football was directly held in Alisson's arms, and the danger was relieved.

Shhhhhhh!

The Barcelona fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and felt that the referee was a black whistle and was favoring Crystal Palace.

Suddenly, all Crystal Palace fans were dumbfounded!

Is this considered a black whistle? So what was the penalty we faced in the last game at the end of last season? Isn’t that so shameful for grandma?

The fans of Crystal Palace were a little speechless. They all felt that the Barcelona people could not afford to lose!

At this moment, the Barcelona attack came again.

Midfielders Iniesta and Rakitic passed the ball three times in a row like lightning in a small area, directly breaking the Crystal Palace's fierce high-pressure. Then Rakitic directly passed the ball diagonally and quickly sent the football to Messi's feet.

Everyone in the Crystal Palace was shocked.

The Barcelona people's pass was too fast and accurate. Under such high pressure, they almost didn't need to think about passing the ball and passed it out at lightning speed.

It’s really awesome!

Tong Yi was also very amazed. I have to say that Barcelona is really amazing!

After the football came to Messi's feet, he forcibly held Robertson, and then quickly pulled the ball and turned to face Robertson head-on.

Although Messi is short and thin, he is really not afraid of physical confrontation, and he may not be weak in physical confrontation.

He will lose. This guy's power-generating skills are really great, at least it allows him to kick with ease.

In this duel, Robertson was completely defeated.

Turning around, Messi's change of direction was so fast that Robertson didn't even react. When he reacted and rushed to defend, he realized that it was Messi's fake move, and Messi changed direction again. Overtaking him in an instant, and dribbling the ball diagonally towards the left penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace.

At this time, Suarez in front quickly made a diagonal contrast and went directly to the right half of the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Suarez's movement is very particular.

If your Crystal Palace defensive players don't keep up with Suarez, Messi will pass the football to Suarez in the gap. And if you keep up with Suarez, the defensive players will be brought by Suarez, and Messi will have space.

Although Crystal Palace seems to have more defensive players at this time, they must make a choice in an instant, otherwise problems will occur.

It is not good to have more people at this time, because it is difficult for them to make the same or the most reasonable choice in the flash of lightning.

However, Van Dijk and Rudiger were well prepared. At the moment when Suarez made an oblique thrust, Van Dijk extended a gesture and followed Suarez closely. His gesture signaled Rudiger not to follow and just go and defend Messi.

Therefore, the division of labor between the two was clear, and the defense did not give the Barcelona people a chance at all.

However, Rafinha from the left came up diagonally!

Rudiger is under a lot of pressure!

At this moment, Messi made a fake move to pass the ball to Rafinha who was diagonally entering the penalty area, hoping to kill Rudiger. Rudiger did not fall for the trick, but followed Messi closely in front of him.

But at this moment, Messi suddenly shot a volley from the front of the penalty area. Rudiger was a little unable to react. The football quickly passed between his legs and flew towards the Crystal Palace. The lower right corner of the goal.

The ball was moving very fast, and Alisson's line of sight in front of the goal was a little blocked by Rudiger. He waited until the ball rolled out before he could see it clearly. He immediately made a save, but still didn't touch the football. The football quickly rolled into the lower right corner of the goal!

One to two, the powerful Barcelona pulled a goal back!

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene took a breath. To be honest, there was no big problem with their Crystal Palace defense this time. Even Rudiger didn't commit a foul. He didn't know that the connection between Messi's fake move and shot would be so fast, and he didn't give him too much time to react.

He thought that Messi's fake move would be followed by a breakthrough smash or a sideways move. Who knew he would be directly followed by a shooting move, and it would come so fast.

To be honest, this shot wasn't very powerful, but it was sudden.

Rudiger had no choice, and Alisson couldn't react in time!

Messi is really good, he plays the changes of rhythm clearly and superbly.
