Chapter 499 It's Not Shooting, It's Passing
It's really not good not to defend Messi like this, his one-on-one is really too strong.
After Enrique didn't let Messi defend this season, Messi's average one-on-one success per game has changed from 3.8 to 4.6, ranking first in La Liga.
And most of his dribbles are in the middle, which is more threatening than those wing assaulters.
It is too difficult for one person to defend Messi, not even a world-class central defender. Do you still remember Barzagli who was knocked down by Messi in the semi-finals?
He can see Messi's fake moves clearly, and his brain can keep up, but his body can't keep up...
(Joe Boateng was in the same situation back then. Knowing that Messi was going to change direction, he also made a move, and then fell. If you change the fool, you will definitely not be able to fall, and Messi will pass you like a wooden stake.)
The most important thing is that Messi is not the kind of exclusive force. He also created 33 excellent goal scoring opportunities this season, and his ball quotient is also very high.
What is a perfect scoring opportunity?
A rough understanding is single-handedly, whether it is a breakthrough by yourself or passing the ball to a teammate. Of course, now, as long as you shoot without defense, it can be counted as an excellent scoring opportunity.
The blind Jill kicking outside the penalty area does not count.
So even if Messi is double-teamed, it is impossible to completely prevent Barcelona's offense, after all, his passing is also very strong.
But today is different. Messi and Wishing are competing for the Champions League Golden Boot. The two have the same number of goals. Coupled with Wishing's repeated teasing, Messi will not say anything, but he must be unconvinced in his heart.
So today Messi's desire to attack is stronger than in all previous games, and then he fell into the trap prepared for him by Mourinho, which is the main reason why Barcelona's offense cannot be opened.
Unknowingly, the final has been played for 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, the two sides have attacked and defended each other, which looks very lively.
But apart from the offside goal that made a wish at the beginning and the header in 15 minutes, the two teams had almost no threatening offenses.
In terms of offensive statistics, the number of shots on target for both teams is still zero.
It wasn't until this time that Enrique realized that he had fallen into Mourinho's trap. From irritating himself before the game, to catching himself by surprise at the beginning, and now locking Messi...
Enrique found himself following Mourinho's tactical thinking, which was not okay.
He immediately prepared to adjust, allowing Messi to increase his retreat and pass more passes to organize the offense.
Although Messi was unwilling, he did not violate Enrique's tactics. He is not the kind of ball bully and stabbing player. Enrique is also a famous player on the team, so his words still work.
With Messi's retracement, Barcelona's offense has improved.
No.308 minutes, they organized the first threatening attack of the game.
Messi, Busquets, Rakitic and Suarez passed consecutively in the midfield, and finally the ball passed to Messi's feet.
Messi suddenly cut in on the wing, attracting the defense of William, Matic and Felipe Luis. If he followed the previous practice, Messi must have gotten into a dead end again. At that time, he would either pass back or It is a forced shot or a cross.
But this time it was different. Messi suddenly sent a diagonal pass after the inside cut. Suarez appeared on the right in time and received the ball. Messi relied on a pass to penetrate Chelsea's defense.
Suarez dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Felipe Luis immediately turned to block, but Suarez passed the ball.
He swept the goal with a low kick, and Neymar rushed to the goal!
"Neymar! Dangerous!"
Courtois chose to abandon the goal almost at the moment Suarez passed the ball.
As for Neymar, he hesitated a little when he received the ball and didn't shoot directly. After he adjusted and shot again, he missed the best chance to shoot, and the football was taken by Courtois.
"Courtois did a great job! He deflected Neymar's shot!"
Poet He was beaming, while the Catalan commentator was regretful, "Neymar is not decisive enough! But we can't ask for more from him, after all, he is only 23 years old."
Many Barcelona fans have the same idea as their commentator. If Neymar scores this goal, Barcelona will take the lead.
In such an important game, the side that scores first will always have the upper hand. Chelsea must attack at that time, so that Barcelona will have more opportunities.
Just when the fans and commentators were annoyed by Neymar's missed opportunity just now, Chelsea played a counterattack quietly.
It's still Hazard, and it's still the space behind Alves, but this time the pass was replaced by Matic from Fabregas.
Hazard stopped the football with his chest, and after attracting Mascherano's defense, without wasting any time, he played the football back to the middle, and Willian had already rushed up.
He got the ball in the right spot.
Pique had no choice but to let go of his wish for the time being, and went to press William. William passed the ball again to Sanchez on the right, and the fans discovered the problem.
Just now, Barcelona was attacking there. Why did Chelsea hit the ball into Barcelona's dangerous area in the replay?
Barcelona's players are trying to get back to defend, but it's useless. They are too far away to affect Chelsea's attack.
The current situation is that Hazard, Sanchez, William and Wishing are attacking, but what about Barcelona?
There are not many people currently guarding their own half, only two central defenders Pique and Mascherano, a full-back Alba, and of course goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
Counting the goalkeeper is 4 vs 4!
But both the narrator and the fans discovered a bigger problem, and no one could guard against the wish!
Countless fans, including Poet He, couldn't help but want to go up and play for Sanchez, "Pass the ball! The wish is empty!"
Sanchez didn't seem to see the wish at all, because he found that neither Pique nor Mascherano went back to defend. If he passes the ball now, the wish must be offside.
So Sanchez made a fake move to break through, and Alba, who was able to come up to defend him, took a step back, and then Sanchez exploded and walked outside.
Wishing also discovered Barcelona's offside trap at this time, he immediately exited the penalty area, and then accelerated to sprint again.
Seeing this, Pique and Mascherano retreated to the penalty area and stuck to make a wish. They knew very well that whether it was Hazard or William interspersed, the threat was not as big as making a wish.
Sanchez is very likely to make a high pass from the outside, so it is of course the best choice to directly defend and make a wish.
Wishing to learn smart this time, he is directly one position behind Pique, so he won't be offside again, right?
Sanchez looked up at the position where the wish was made, no longer hesitated, adjusted his pace, and made a decisive cross!
At the same time, wishing also jumped up.
It stands to reason that he jumped a little early, but Wishing has his own ideas.
If he jumped up at this time, he would definitely attract everyone's attention, so Pique and Mascherano would not dare to make any small moves.
The fact is indeed the case, Mascherano has stretched out the hand straight back, and Pique can only jump up with the wish.
The jump is to jump up, but Pique is a little puzzled, wishing to jump at this time, how does he shoot?Relying on his ability to stay in the air?Even if he can stay in the air, it is impossible for him to stay in the world forever...
It's not just Pique who doesn't understand, even Chelsea fans can't understand the operation of wishing.
Poet He even raised a question directly, "Is it too early to make a wish?"
Soon Wishing gave the answer with practical actions. When Sanchez passed the ball, Wishing and Pique had already started to fall, but Wishing still straightened his waist, rubbed his scalp, and passed the ball to the left. Hazard!
Wishing didn't think about shooting at all, his first thought was to pass the ball.
Can't Messi pass the ball?I can too!
