Cristiano is actually also worried-he has a very high awareness of the state of the peak Barcelona, ​​and even bluntly said that Cristiano believes that no one in the world can understand the peak Barcelona better than him, and because of him I understand, so when he saw the familiar look of passing the ball on the field, he also felt deeply uncertain and shaken.

When Messi succeeded in counter-robbing himself on the spot, the past was vivid in his mind for a moment.

- "Can't you see Messi swinging from your left?"

After a historic defeat to Barcelona, ​​the locker room echoed with Casey's yelling at Ramos - but everyone knows that the Real Madrid captain is not just dissatisfied with Ramos, he is actually dissatisfied with each of them, including He was not satisfied with himself, but among all the people, only Ramos was the one he could yell at directly.

Ramos usually scolded Cassie by touching his nose and muttering a few words, but unfortunately, he was also in a bad mood that day, so Ramos did something he would not do normally—he yelled back , "Me? Then can't you see that when Messi's ball hits the goal, you should extend your hand by one centimeter to reach it?"

That is an unreasonable accusation, after all, everyone knows in their hearts that Cassie's hand can only be stretched so far, and Ramos's change of direction can only be so fast-they blame each other only because they cannot accept the reality: they are If you can't prevent Messi, you can't do anything about Messi.

——They can defend Messi once, but they cannot defend him all the time.

The best way to deal with Barcelona is to score earlier than them - they have always been a strong team, you only have to surprise and shake them in one fell swoop to find a chance to break them.

Cristiano told himself so, but getting the ball from the top Barcelona is no easy task.

In the first half, there were no more threatening shots except for Messi's goal. Regardless of what Messi thought at the time, in fact, everyone in Manchester United had already begun to hesitate at this time-they always believed that Cristiano, but when they really faced the peak Barcelona, ​​they suddenly realized that this is a different team from all the teams they have faced in the past.

Other teams are also very strong, but Barcelona can make people question themselves.

It's as if you can't beat this team unless the ball dies naturally - as if nothing can beat this Barcelona team except time and the laws of nature.

Cristiano read it on their faces and he knew why they thought that.

——In addition to the two shots of Eto'o and Messi, there were two incidents that Messi thought were not worth mentioning but others thought were very representative.

In the 18th minute of the game, Messi took the ball from Carrick's toes.

Um?Is that too easy to say?But Mr. Leo Messi said that this matter is as simple as that.

The thing is this-at that time, Messi came up to the midfield, and he directly signaled his teammates to move away and leave him a little space.

Busquets cursed a lot of swear words in his heart with no expression on his face, but he still backed away a little, staying not far away, waiting for help in defense and response, and prepared to see how Mr. Messi started his performance by the way.

Carrick also didn't know what Messi was going to do. He carefully watched Messi's movements, and at the same time tried to throw the ball directly to Park Ji-sung in front.

Messi looked at Carrick—he didn't focus on the opponent's toes, he didn't pay attention to the rolling of the ball all the time, he scanned the opponent's whole body in an instant, and he didn't miss the slight tightening and tension of any muscle exposed to the air. Relax, and don't let go of every turn of the other person's eyeballs, even a frown or a purse.

Messi is the master of passing and passing. He also knows how to judge other people's passing and passing.

So when Carrick guessed that the opponent would definitely prevent him from passing the ball to Cristiano, and he was complacent about his own Mingxiu plank road, when Messi touched the ball with his toes and ordered the ball to turn, suddenly He tapped the ball directly with his toes, then slid along the ball to the ground with his toes, and on the side of his feet, he used the arch of his feet to directly transfer the ball to Busquets, who was obedient and honest, and kept his position.

Busquets was praised for his obedience.

To be honest, Cristiano felt that Busquets himself was scared to death.

But Busquets didn't show it, at least on the surface - he didn't stop, and after taking the ball, he passed it straight to Henry, who then launched a crazy attack in front of the penalty area.

Although that attack ended with a foul by Ferdinand and a high free kick by Messi, that doesn't mean it's not worth mentioning.

And if Messi's crazy personal performance can still be regarded as the daily life of European football in the past two years, then everything that happened in the 207th minute of the game can be directly used as a microcosm of the peak Barcelona performance.

Puyol caught an omission between Evra and Giggs and handed it to Pique after intercepting the ball.

Pique faced Ferdinand who was facing him and wanted to pass the pass to Busquets, but this time the pass was judged by Ferdinand and O'Shea at the same time, and the two came to steal at the same time.

At that time, even Cristiano thought that they were going to get back the chance to attack, but he didn't expect that Harvey stepped forward to squeeze O'Shea away, then used his strength to push away Ferdinand, and at the same time protected the ball with his feet and pushed it back to Pique's feet —— Pique did not embarrass Barcelona, ​​he immediately turned sideways and handed it to Puyol again after he got the ball.

When Puyol faced Manchester United whose defensive line was heavily inclined to Pique's path, he quickly gave the ball to Iniesta at the far end.

Iniesta also played the ball quickly and stuffed it at the feet of Eto'o.

It's just a pity that Eto'o was offside.

——If Messi's personal performance in No. 18 minutes is just amazing for one person, then this time in No. 207 minutes perfectly shows that the abilities of most people in the Barcelona team are absolutely outstanding, and they can also become a better whole.

Cristiano doesn't know what he can say this time, he really doesn't know what he can say this time, he doesn't seem to have that experience in the past - they haven't lost, haven't even conceded a goal yet, but they've started to feel uneasy up.

This time it was the Jazz who came to try to save it all.

Jazz stood in the middle of the locker room, looked at all of them, and said to them: "This is the last game of this team, after today we will say goodbye to Cristiano - I think we should give this paragraph The days come to a successful end, and then we start a new journey. Otherwise, tonight will be a huge regret for us."

No one speaks.

Of course they all want to put a good end to the year, to their time as teammates with Cristiano, and of course they want to be co-stars in an unprecedented Champions League title defense.

But the reality is cruel, they all know what kind of team they are facing - today's Barcelona and today's Messi seem to be invincible, they don't know where else to get the confidence to believe that Manchester United can successfully defend the title .

Jazz looked at Cristiano, but said nothing.

Cristiano didn't know what jazz meant for a while, he was a little confused, and seemed to hope that jazz would give a clearer hint.

But Jazz just looked at him, and as time passed, there seemed to be a little disappointment in Jazz's eyes.He seemed to be asking Cristiano: Why do you know what to do every time, but only this time you don't?Didn't you promise to give me and my Manchester United the most glorious farewell?

Cristiano was most afraid of disappointing the one he loved, he thought nervously.

——"Cristiano!"

Before Zidane's first national derby after taking over as Real Madrid coach, he suddenly called Cristiano's name so loudly in the locker room.

Cristiano raised his head in response, looked at Zidane a little confused, and silently asked what happened to him.

"Cristiano, you told me you were going to score in this game, right?" Zidane said something that Cristiano never said - Cristiano wanted to ask if he had dementia Yes, but when he saw the expectant and surprised eyes of others, he swallowed that sentence back and nodded subconsciously.

Real Madrid's first half of that season was full of pain and anxiety, they fell behind Barcelona by a huge point, and the first leg of the national derby was even more disastrous. Each of them was pessimistic about the future, and they were not really true. Can 1% trust the rookie head coach.

So they were somewhat encouraged to know that their top card hadn't been crushed, that they hadn't lost faith.

——Cristiano finally woke up.

"Barcelona is a good opponent, but I want to score a goal for you and win with a goal before the No. 807 minute of the game." Cristiano stood up and said.

87, one more zero is the number of days between his birthday and Messi's birthday.

——“Ronaldo, I don’t care how much you hate my approach, but I want to tell you that football is not just a technical and tactical struggle, but also a psychological warfare. Ning, you can’t beat him either.”

Cristiano remembers Mourinho saying this to him after they split for various reasons.

Cristiano decided to try Mourinho's approach - after all, he has no other options now.
