Chapter 265 Scored twice! Follow Messi? I can not do it! [A big chapter with [-] words, please beg me to subscribe]

"Kaka!!!"

When Platini shouted this name on the podium of the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland, Atletico Madrid players all cheered in the Majadahonda training base in Madrid, Spain.

"awesome!"

"Kaka, well done!"

"Excellent performance!"

Kaka is very popular within the Atletico Madrid team, and everyone recognizes his skills.

Torres and Drogba are both the best attackers in world football today, but compared to Kaká, they are still somewhat inferior.

Of course, this inferiority is more reflected in some key moments on the court.

There are some things that Kaka can do but they can't, so they have to obey.

Of course, being convinced does not mean giving up.

At their level, everyone has their own unique advantages, and the gap between them is often just a little bit.

Maybe one day they will rush over.

For example, Torres and Drogba have been ranked within 10 for two or three consecutive seasons and their performance is very stable.

This proves that they only need to break through a little further to break through that ceiling.

Drogba is the hardest of them all because he is 29 years old.

Too much time was wasted in his early years, otherwise, his achievements would be greater than what he is now.

But what can be done?

The wrong things you did when you were young and frivolous must be made right no matter what.

In the live TV broadcast, Kaka gave a speech, first thanking God, his family and his wife.

He also thanked his teammates in Madrid and the Brazilian national team from a distance.

"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this honor!" Kaka said very excitedly.

This is the second time he has won this award.

This also means that he has officially joined the ranks of great stars such as Ronaldo, Adriano, and Zidane.

What's more, he's only 24 years old.

Moreover, with the strong competitiveness currently displayed by Atletico Madrid, it is estimated that it will be difficult for any team to stop Atletico Madrid in the next few years.

Kaka said very emotionally, "Coming to Atletico Madrid is the greatest decision in my life."

"I never thought that one day I would get this honor, and I got it twice. Atletico Madrid gave me everything a professional player can get, and my great country, Brazil, I will always Proud of Brazilian football."

There was another burst of applause from Mahadahonda.

Everyone is cheering for Kaka to win the award.

After winning the Grand Slam for two consecutive years, Kaka accepted an on-site interview.

The Brazilians talked about many things, including the Brazilian national team, including former Brazilian head coach Pereira, including Atletico Madrid, including Atletico Madrid teammates, and Yang Hao.

"He is the person I respect the most in my life. Without him, Kaka would not be where he is today!"

Regarding Atletico Madrid, Kaka said that he has played here for more than 6 years, came out of the youth team, and won everything here. The Brazilian said that he cannot imagine leaving Atletico Madrid one day.

"It will be a huge disaster for me, my family, and even my entire career!"

"I will never leave Atletico Madrid!"

Atletico Madrid players rank very well in the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year awards. As for who has the chance to become the next "World Footballer of the Year" after Kaká, Kaka read several names in one breath.

Torres, Drogba, Iniesta, Robben...

Mahadahonda's players burst into laughter.

"Is he going to read the names of everyone on our team?" Torres complained.

But it can be seen that Kaka recognizes his teammates at Atletico Madrid very much.

He feels that Torres and Drogba are both great forwards, Robben has unparalleled speed and breakthrough ability, Iniesta's ball control is very delicate, and his passing is also very imaginative...

“I feel like it’s possible for all of them.”

The host also reminded Kaka at this time, "You seem to have forgotten, Messi, he is ranked 16th in this year's World Footballer list, the youngest among the top 30, and the only 20-year-old What do you think of him as an under-year-old player?"

"He's a little brother that everyone in our dressing room likes. I'm a crazy fan of his. I think he's doing really well, but it's not his time yet. In two years, I believe he will. Usher in his era!”

Kaka gave a very high evaluation.

Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked maliciously at Messi, who was sitting quietly aside.

The Argentinian curled his lips and muttered: "Don't look at me, I won't argue with you."

After hearing this, everyone nodded secretly: This boy is well-behaved and sensible, and deserves the pain.

But they never expected that the Argentinian's next sentence would let them break the defense directly.

"If I end up fighting, what will happen to you?"

After saying that, Messi didn't wait for others to react, and rushed out of the door, leaving a burst of cheerful laughter, and ran away like flying.

In the lounge, the teammates laughed and cursed.

Even ordinary fans can see Messi's talent, let alone professional players like them?
  Everyone knows that Yang Hao is focusing on cultivating Messi and has spent a lot of money and effort.

But everyone was convinced.

Talent is a thing, if you have it, you have it, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

This is something I really can’t envy.

What's more important is that Messi himself is also very ambitious, making great strides every year and making very rapid progress.

Now they are already the main force of the first team.

If it weren't for his age, he would probably be the core player of the team.

……

"I heard they can't find you anywhere!"

In the middle of the first team training ground in Mahdahonda, Messi was sitting at the service point. He was wrapped tightly in a thick down jacket, but he raised his head and looked at the dark night sky in a daze.

Yang Hao was in the office. After watching the live broadcast, he was about to go home to sleep with his little girlfriend, but he saw Messi sitting here and walked over immediately.

Kaka won the award, and the players were celebrating over there.

This award is not only for Kaka, but also for the Brazilian national team and Atletico Madrid.

"Boss, tell me, can I be like Kaka?" Messi looked envious.

It's really just envy, nothing jealous or anything else.

"Of course, I never doubt it." Yang Hao replied without hesitation.

Messi smiled instead, "Boss, how many people have you told this?"

"Have it?"

"How not?"

After a pause, Messi added: "You said before that Torres had a chance, and then you said Kaka, Drogba, and others. You have said it several times."

After saying that, Messi still had a disgusted expression that said, "I want to discount your words and deeds."

Yang Hao waved his hand and grabbed the Argentine teenager's long hair, immediately making Messi beg for mercy.

"For others, there are opportunities, but they need to fight, grab, and try their best, including players like Kaka."

Kaka's efforts can be seen by everyone.

He really risked his life for this Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer.

Of course, this is normal.

As long as there is a chance, who wouldn't fight for it?
  "But you're different from everyone else."

Messi was a little surprised and looked at Yang Hao as if asking: What's the difference?
  "As long as you keep a normal mind, perform normally, have no injuries or illnesses, live a disciplined life, and insist on training, then you will definitely be able to get it, and not just once, but many times."

"Three times?" Messi was very surprised.

Obviously, in his consciousness, or in the consciousness of everyone at the moment, this is already the limit.

"Be bolder."

"That's 4 times at most, and it can't be more than 5 times. Just like Kaká, I start getting it from the age of 23 to 27, and then I should almost start to decline." Messi joked exaggeratedly.

This is the limit of his career that he can imagine.

In fact, he already felt that this was the boss's excessive demands on him.

Yang Hao really wanted to tell the long-haired boy in front of him: Leo, you have to believe in yourself and win at least 7 times!
  But if you say this, no one will believe it. Instead, they will think it is exaggerated and counterproductive.

"Leo, you shouldn't follow other people's tracks." Yang Hao advised earnestly.

"You know, Ronaldo won the European Silver Ball and World Footballer at the age of 20. He is different from everyone else."

"All great players are special!"

Messi showed a thoughtful look.

In the past two years, many people, including Maradona, have encouraged him and told him how to perform, but he is not sure. They all said too little.

For example, Maradona told him: You should try to dominate the game!
  Dominate the game?

How to dominate?
  Maradona said a lot, which made Messi confused, but in the end he didn't understand what was going on.

"Whether you can win the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer does not depend on your age, but on whether you are ready to shoulder everyone's expectations and whether you have the courage to stand up when the team encounters difficulties and needs you. Go out and face the difficulties?"

Messi vaguely seemed to have caught something, but he wasn't quite sure.

"Boss, I never thought about this. You know, I just like playing football and dribbling the ball. I really never thought about it..."

"Then start thinking about it carefully from now on!" Yang Hao interrupted him.

"Kaká won't be able to play against Barcelona on the weekend. You can give it a try. What if...you can do it?" Yang Hao encouraged.

After saying that, Yang Hao stretched out his hand and grabbed Messi's long hair, feeling a little disgusted.

"Go back and cut your hair. It's really annoying. I'm leaving!"

Messi reached out and brushed his messed up long hair, stuck out his tongue at Yang Hao's back, turned around and ran away.

Want me to cut my hair?
  Just ask for my fate!

What aesthetics.

He has long flowing hair, how handsome he is!
  But while running, Messi couldn't help but think of Yang Hao's words in his mind, and couldn't help but ask himself.

Can I?
  Does it really work?

……

Entering December, Barcelona began to suffer from the claws of injuries.

Eto'o had previously suffered a ruptured meniscus in his right knee and was out for a long time, causing damage to Barcelona's offense.

Later, players including Zambrotta, Giuly, Baptista and Van Bronckhorst suffered injuries one after another.

Compared with Eto'o's serious injury, they are actually not very serious, but they will only take one or two months.

Yes, injuries for one or two months now are not very serious for La Liga.

But just after December, after Yang Hao's special speech, Barcelona officially announced that Henry was injured in training and is expected to be absent for one month.

In other words, bid farewell to all games before the winter break in advance.

This led to a very outrageous phenomenon. There was no one in Barcelona.

The whole world knows that Atletico Madrid traveled long distances and traveled thousands of miles to compete in Japan for the Club World Cup.

I just returned to Madrid on the evening of the 18th, and will go to Barcelona on the 19th to participate in the game on the 20th.

During the whole process, they did not have any time to rest or breathe.

Rijkaard and Tenkat hope to snipe Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp and defeat the sheet army.

But now, with the injury like this, how can I kick?
  Fortunately, players such as Ronaldinho, Xavi and Puyol are not injured.

Therefore, Rijkaard did his best to put together the strongest lineup he could now.

Goalkeeper: Valdes;
  Defense: Oleg, Puyol, Thuram and Belletti;

Midfield: Thiago Motta deep, Rosicky and Xavi in ​​the center;
  Forwards: Ronaldinho, Gudjohnson and Van der Vaart.

Atletico Madrid is also understaffed.

Kaka, who won his second World Footballer of the Year award in Zurich, Switzerland on the evening of the 18th, did not appear on the squad that followed the team to Barcelona.

Yang Hao still put up a 433 lineup.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech;
  Defence: Evra, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Alves;

Midfield: Xabi Alonso deep, Modric and Baraja in the centre;
  Forwards: Di Maria, Torres and Robben.

As soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid took the initiative to put pressure forward, especially on Thuram and Oleg.

Thuram's defensive ability in the backcourt is undoubted, but his ability to take and play the ball has always been a hidden danger for Barcelona's defense, and Oleg playing on the left is also a problem.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Thuram made a mistake when stopping the ball in the backcourt, and Torres successfully stole the ball.

Puyol reacted quickly and was extremely fast, catching up with Torres first.

As the two scrambled, Torres reluctantly took off his foot, but his shot failed to hit the goal.

Two minutes later, Xabi Alonso passed a long ball. After Torres retreated to stop the ball, he knocked back. Baraja followed up with a long shot, which was saved by goalkeeper Valdez.

The Atletico Madrid captain is older, but he is good at long-range shooting.

One minute later, Di Maria dribbled the ball from the left and tried to break through. After being intercepted by Belletti, the ball fell to Modric's feet.

The Croatian midfielder volleyed directly and missed a lot.

In less than 5 minutes, Atletico Madrid kicked 3 shots.

Yang Hao's opening attack was as fierce as ever, leaving Barcelona with no temper.

Rijkaard obviously knew this, so he did not rush into Atletico Madrid from the beginning, but played it safe from the beginning.

In fact, the Dutch Black Swan did not come out to play against Atletico Madrid tonight. Instead, they waited patiently for Atletico Madrid's wave of attacks before they waited for an opportunity to launch a threatening counterattack.

There are so many injured players, Henry and Eto'o are both absent. Although Giuly has returned from injury, he is still sitting on the bench.

Now it's down to Ronaldinho and Good Johnson.

Atletico Madrid started aggressively, which made Barcelona feel embarrassed.

In the 10th minute, even Harvey, who has always passed the ball steadily, made a passing error.

Torres tried to break through Puyol with the ball, but was successfully tackled by the Barcelona captain.

Puyol's defense, especially his individual defense ability, is really very strong and very fast.

His biggest weakness is his height.

Many people say that if Puyol were 5 centimeters taller, while maintaining his current speed and flexibility, his overall strength would reach another level and he would even become the world's top central defender.

Well, if he were 5 centimeters taller, he would be about 1 meters tall.

Ramos is 1 meters tall.

……

Yang Hao stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and shook his head helplessly.

Atletico Madrid fought for 15 minutes in the opening game and created 7 shooting opportunities, but failed to score.

As a last resort, Yang Hao could only signal the players to slow down their attack.

Otherwise, the body will not be able to bear it.

All the physical energy was exhausted in the short period of time after the opening, so how can we play next?
  The game gradually entered a stalemate stage.

Atletico Madrid's schedule is too intensive during this period, and they travel long distances. The players consume a lot of money, and many players' bodies are showing yellow lights.

In this situation, no matter how reluctant Yang Hao was, he had to adopt prudent tactics.

Tonight, at Camp Nou, what Yang Hao wants is a draw.

But even if he loses, he can accept it.

Of course, he kept all this in his heart and didn't tell anyone.

On the contrary, he repeatedly encouraged the players and firmly believed that the team would be able to overcome difficulties.

Even in an interview with media reporters before the game, Yang Hao made a high-profile statement that he would defeat Barcelona again at Camp Nou!
  "Barcelona also played very cautiously tonight." Juanma Lillo said.

Yang Hao walked back to the coaching bench. After listening, he nodded and said, "There are a lot of injuries."

"We deserve it! The Catalan media has been laughing at us back then, with the most sarcasm and sarcasm. Now the wave of injuries has come!" Paralles is still very vindictive.

He is now the leader of Atletico Madrid's medical team, responsible for the connection between the team's medical team and the coaching staff. He also works in the laboratory and is considered a very important member of the Atletico Madrid coaching staff.

This is what he deserves.

He and Atletico Madrid are considered old ministers who have come out of the brink of bankruptcy, and their abilities are indeed impressive. They have been keeping pace with the times and learning continuously over the years.

After Atletico Madrid gradually slowed down its offensive, the two sides went back and forth, a bit like a round-to-round battle, but no one was able to create an opportunity.

"This trip to Japan was really painful." Ortega, the physical fitness coach, also sighed helplessly.

"Mainly the 14-hour flight time, plus the time waiting for the flight and on the road..." Parales was also helpless.

Everyone was unconvinced.

This was originally a perfect opportunity to take advantage of Barcelona's illness and kill them.

But it happened to come across the Club World Cup.

There is no problem with Yang Hao's choice. Everyone knows how to choose before the Club World Cup at Camp Nou.

Just a little unwilling!
  The most important thing is that Atletico Madrid wants them all.

But on the court, Atletico Madrid players were indeed not excited enough tonight.

Yang Hao started with Baraja, not only because he valued his long-range shots, but also hoped that he would keep an eye on Ronaldinho and protect Xabi Alonso. In this regard, Atletico Madrid's old captain still did a good job. very beautiful.

The only one who has maintained good condition is Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech.

This kid is always solid.

Especially in the 39th minute, Ronaldinho sent a beautiful diagonal pass into the penalty area.

Xavi stepped in to head the ball towards the goal, but Cech struck decisively, rushed out of the penalty area, and picked the ball cleanly, making Yang Hao and others couldn't help but applaud him.

After that, Barcelona increased their offensive intensity.

In the 41st minute, during a defense outside the penalty area, Baraja tackled Rosicky. The latter fell to the ground and the referee awarded a free kick.

Ronaldinho took a very high-level free kick, but Cech saved it very bravely.

Yang Hao and the Atletico Madrid coaching staff couldn't help but applaud Cech's save from the sidelines.

The first half ended 0-0! When Yang Haolin entered the tunnel, he specially called Messi, who was warming up with his teammates.

"Warm up more and be ready for the second half."

After speaking, Yang Hao grabbed Messi's long hair encouragingly.

When will this long hair be cut?

Messi quickly ran out to warm up, obviously more energetic.

Although Yang Hao is mentally prepared to lose and his goal is to get a draw, this does not mean that he will lie flat.

Those who seek the top will get it, and those who seek it will get the bottom.

Yang Hao is trying his best to win. If it is a draw or loss, he can accept it.

After all, Atletico Madrid's schedule during this period is indeed too tight, the players are under too much pressure, and their bodies are very tired.

……

In the 60th minute, Atletico Madrid replaced Robben with Messi.

The Dutchman's performance was relatively sluggish during the time he was on the court.

The long journey consumes too much physical energy, resulting in the Dutch Peter Pan unable to fly tonight.

Less than 2 minutes into Messi's playing time, he got the ball near the right corner of the frontcourt penalty area.

When Yang Hao came on the court, he specifically told him to get the ball more, dribble more, and make more breakthroughs.

"You have to believe in yourself, give it a try, you can do it!"

The head coach's words of encouragement are still ringing in Messi's ears.

When facing Oleg with the ball, Messi's eyes gradually became determined.

As soon as the Argentinian stopped the ball, he made a gesture to go to the baseline and make a breakthrough from the outside, and his shoulders also tilted to the right.

Rijkaard used Oleg to play on the left in this game, just to keep an eye on Atletico Madrid's right winger Messi.

But what he didn't expect was that Yang Hao would let Robben start first and then use Messi as a substitute.

Robben's physical condition was not good today, and he failed to show any threat when he cut inside several times from the right, which made Oleg more confident in defense. He has contributed 6 steals so far.

The right-footed player plays on the left. His contribution on the offensive end is very small, but the defense is stable.

Both play as right wingers with their left foot, and both are good at dribbling the ball and cutting inside.

In Oleg's eyes, Messi is probably about the same as Robben.

At best, Messi is shorter and more flexible, but Robben is faster and more explosive.

This made Oleg very confident.

Unexpectedly, after the first contact, Messi dribbled the ball and approached, and his sudden fake move caught Oleg a little unexpectedly.

Is this a fake move?
  Do not!
  It looks like it's really going to rush through!

Oleg had a strong feeling that if he didn't block it, Messi would definitely go to the bottom line.

With a high forward like Torres sitting in the middle, he cannot be allowed to go to the bottom line.

So, Oleg immediately shifted his focus and went to talk to Messi.

But the Argentinian suddenly spiked the ball back, took a step laterally, and immediately got rid of Oleg. After taking a step inside, he took a long shot with his left foot.

The ball was very fast and very flat. It went right between Oleg and Puyol and went straight to the goal.

Valdes stood in a good position, picked up the ball, and then quickly hugged it.

At this time, nearly [-] Barcelona fans at Camp Nou let out a cry of exclamation.

too fast!
  Oleg was just shaken at an angle by him, but he didn't expect Messi to move so quickly.

This guy's approach is very different from Robben's.

Fortunately, his foot strength is not very good, so he did not threaten the long shot.

"Oleg, keep an eye on him and don't make any moves easily. His center of gravity shifts very quickly."

Captain Puyol shouted from behind
  Oleg waved his hand at Puyol to indicate that he heard him.

But soon, he discovered another problem.

Follow Messi?

No, he can't do it!

Because he discovered that Messi actually didn't move on the right side at all.

Baraja's position retreated, and Messi began to play more on the right rib, often even going to the middle area, and the entire right wing was given up to Alves.

That damn Brazilian right back simply uses himself as a right midfielder or even a right winger. Whenever Atletico Madrid takes the ball to attack, he will dominate the half court.

In the 68th minute, when Barcelona attacked in the frontcourt and got a corner kick opportunity, although it failed to score a goal, it still posed some threat, Yang Hao made his second substitution.

Villa replaced Di Maria.

Then, Barcelona's defensive players discovered that Atletico Madrid's offensive tactics had changed again.

In the 71st minute, when Modric was dribbling the ball in the center, Messi ran sideways from the right rib to the center to ask for the ball.

Magic Flute got ahead of Xavi and passed the ball across to Messi.

At this time, Torres quickly ran horizontally to the right from the top area of ​​the arc.

Messi also started with the ball at the same time.

Facing Thiago Motta, Messi made a quick and skillful fake move to the left, but quickly reversed the ball.

A croquette saw Messi speed past Thiago Motta.

Barcelona's midfielder was immediately deceived and couldn't even catch up.

When Messi dribbled the ball to the top of the arc in the penalty area, facing Thuram who came up to block it, he chose to dribble to the right, forcing Thuram and Puyol to pay attention, and then suddenly distributed the ball to the top of the arc. Torres in the gap on the right.

Torres has been deliberately maintaining his position to avoid going offside.

When receiving Messi's pass, he walked into the right side of the penalty area.

Puyol was well prepared and turned around to catch up as quickly as possible.

But this was within Torres' expectations.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, Torres made an emergency stop and sent a cross.

I saw that after Messi passed the ball, he also moved forward as quickly as possible, directly behind Ram.

Unfortunately, Thuram is not young and his body is a little bulky. He immediately turned around and chased, but he was still one position behind Messi. He watched helplessly as Messi stopped Torres' pass near the penalty spot. , kicked his right foot to the left side of the goal.

Valdez stood in the small penalty area and made a sideways dive, but how could he get there in time?

"The ball went in!!!"

"Messi!! Messi!!!"

"In the 71st minute, Atletico Madrid completed a wonderful attack."

"Messi dribbled the ball through the middle and completed a beautiful wall-to-wall coordination with Torres in the frontcourt. He hit the goal near the penalty spot and broke the deadlock for Atletico Madrid!"

"1 to 0!

After Messi scored, his momentum continued unabated and he quickly rushed out of the stadium, cheering all the way to celebrate his goal after coming on as a substitute.

Behind him, Torres and other teammates also caught up, all hugging Messi in the middle.

"We saw that Atletico Madrid's attack was very smart."

"Messi's move when he passed Thiago Motta was very beautiful and crucial. After this breakthrough, he and Torres became a 2-on-2 situation near the top of the penalty area. This pair of Messi Both West and Torres are good at it."

Yang Hao was so excited on the sidelines that he jumped up.

He hoped that Messi's substitution would break the deadlock, but he was still very surprised when his hope turned into reality.

Behind him, Atletico Madrid coaches were cheering excitedly.

The players on the bench had already rushed out and cheered loudly for Messi.

And just as Atletico Madrid players were walking back to the court, preparing to kick off again, Yang Hao was also considering whether to continue to maintain the current style of play or be a little more conservative.

On his bench, Mascherano is still sitting.

"What's wrong with Thuram?" Parales shouted.

Yang Hao immediately turned his head and saw Thuram waving his hand towards the sidelines, indicating that he could not survive.

The French central defender simply lay down and did not dare to leave anymore.

The referee signaled the team doctor to come in quickly.

The entire Camp Nou stadium emitted an uproar of surprise.

Everyone realized that Thuram was afraid that he was injured and could not hold on.

"It looks like it was the moment when he turned around and chased after him." Ortega analyzed Yang Hao.

"Strained muscle?"

"It's almost the same," Ortega said.

Yang Hao laughed and shook his head.

He really wasn't gloating about his misfortune, but rather sympathized with Rijkaard.

It was really difficult for him to be injured like this.

If it is really a muscle strain, it will be a troublesome thing, at least for more than a month.

Yang Hao now wants to see, what does Rijkaard plan to do?
  ……

Rijkaard is a bit of a mess.

There is a feeling of refreshing in my heart.

Especially when he looked at Thuram's expression when he was being carried off on a stretcher, he knew very well that he would not be able to continue playing.

"It should be a biceps tear, at least a month." Team doctor Tony Tramulas came over and said.

"How could this happen?" Rijkaard asked speechlessly.

"He said that he accelerated when he was chasing Messi just now. He may have strained the injury at that time. The details will have to wait for the hospital's examination. He is old and has been too tired recently. I have warned him before." The team doctor was also very helpless.

Rijkaard was fine at first, but after hearing the last sentence, he impatiently dismissed the team doctor.

He knew what that last sentence meant.

The team doctor doesn’t want to take the blame!
  Yes, he had given the warning, but what could Rijkaard do?

There are only a few people on the team. If he doesn't use Thuram, who should he use?
  Gabriel Milito?

Shorter.

Edmilson?
  After the injury, I was in a bad state.

Rafael Marcos?

hurt.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the current Barcelona team as full of wounded soldiers.

What's even worse is that he must make amends quickly now.

"Attack or defend?" Tenkat came over and asked.

Thuram's position must be replaced.

But now, Barcelona has no one to replace, unless he is willing to play the young Olmo.

Jesus Olmo is the central defender of Barcelona's second team. He is 21 years old but only 1 meters tall.

Rijkaard originally used him as a showman, but if he really wants to partner with Puyol, then...

"Go to Giuli and attack!" Rijkaard had no choice.

……

Barcelona replaced Thuram, who retired injured, with Giuly.

After the substitution, Thiago Motta retreated to the central defender and formed a partnership with Puyol. Giuly played on the right, and Van der Vaart, Xavi and Rosicky formed the iron triangle in the midfield.

In this case, Barcelona had no choice but to continue to attack forward and try to control the ball.

Yang Hao made a prompt decision, seized the opportunity, and adopted a strategy to stabilize the midfield.

Especially in the 80th minute, he replaced Xabi Alonso with Mascherano and continued to strengthen the defense in the midfield.

And in the 84th minute, Atletico Madrid made a steal near the [-]-meter area in their own half.

Mascherano made a tackle and stole the ball from Rosicky's feet, and the Czech midfielder fell to the ground.

The entire Camp Nou stadium was booed.

But the referee did not blow the whistle.

Iniesta moved the ball to the left first.

Evra followed up, made a long diagonal pass, and kicked the ball forward with his big foot.

The ball crossed the center line and fell to the right side of Barcelona's half.

I saw a short but fast figure rushing out of Barcelona's defense, throwing away Oleg, moving forward, catching up with Evra's pass, heading the ball forward, and then continued Chase.

Puyol was chasing after him all the way, but he was still slower in the end.

When Messi caught up with his header at the edge of the penalty area, his chest hit him.

Valdes had no choice but to abandon the goal and rush straight to the right side of the penalty spot.

The Argentinian youngster had already been observing Valdez's position and picked it lightly.

The football went over Valdez's head and fell to the empty goal behind him.

Puyol was like a gust of wind, rushing past Messi, past Valdes, and towards his own goal.

In the end, he fell out completely, but he couldn't stop Messi's shot from the goal.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Twice scored!!"

"Messi! It's young Messi again!"

"My God, when Atletico Madrid encountered difficulties, at the critical moment, Messi stepped forward!"

"2 to 0!"

"What a surprise!"

"Messi scored twice at Camp Nou tonight!"

"Both of his goals were eye-catching."

"That time just now was a performance of personal ability and cooperation with teammates, but this time it was a quick counterattack."

"Let's take another look at the whole scoring sequence."

"Messi's speed is indeed not very fast, but he grasped the timing of the start very well, and he headed the ball very cleverly."

"2-0, Barcelona is very dangerous now."

"On the morning of the 18th, Atletico Madrid was still more than [-] kilometers away in Japan, waiting hard for a flight back to Madrid."

"Now on the 20th, they are at Barcelona's Camp Nou."

"Before this game, almost everyone was optimistic about Barcelona. They thought that Barcelona should be able to win Atletico Madrid if they played at home and waited for work."

"But the result was unexpected. Yang Hao's formation in this game, especially his decision to use Messi as a substitute and come on in the second half, completely changed the game!"

"The Argentinian youngster is doing better and better."

"Some people said before that Torres is Barcelona's killer. Every time he encounters Barcelona, ​​he can perform very well."

"But now it seems that Messi is the killer of Barcelona."

"After scoring five goals last season and scoring twice this season, Messi seems to have an undying grudge with Barcelona."

……

The game finally ended 2-0.

Messi's brace helped Atletico win Barcelona away.

This is something Yang Hao never thought of.

In this round of competition, Real Madrid defeated Huelva 3-0 at home.

So now, after 16 rounds of games, Atletico Madrid has a record of 15 wins and 1 loss, with 45 points, ranking first in La Liga.

Real Madrid followed with 43 points.

Wenger's team has also performed quite well this season. Not only does it rank well in the standings, but it also plays better on the field, especially the front three, which is getting better and better the more they get used to each other.

The combination of Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Joaquin/Robinho has greatly improved Real Madrid's offense.

Especially Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center suppressed the defense in the frontcourt, making Real Madrid's offense more arbitrary.

After Barcelona lost this round, the league points also dropped to 4th place, which is not as good as Sevilla.

Juande Ramos' Sevilla have also performed very well this season.

Deschamps' Deportivo La Coruña is currently ranked fifth, and the main problem is running-in, but they are not far away from Barcelona, ​​which is fourth and fourth, and they still have a good chance.

In the Champions League, after all the group stages were played, all four La Liga teams qualified first in their groups.

This once again confirmed the outside world's suspicions about the La Liga team.

The overall performance of La Liga this season is better than before.

Not only the Champions League, but also in the UEFA Cup, all four participating La Liga teams have qualified for the top 4, and all performed well.

Deschamps' Deportivo La Coruña has maintained a complete victory record, which can be said to be an outstanding performance.

Halfway through the schedule, although the current situation is not very clear, La Liga has continued the good momentum of last season very well. Whether it is in the domestic league, the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, the overall performance has improved significantly.

This also makes everyone believe that La Liga is indeed on a road of continuous development and strengthening.

During the Champions League round of 16 knockout draw, I don’t know if it was a prank by UEFA, but Arsene Wenger’s Real Madrid was actually drawn against Arsenal. This was simply too much of a gimmick.

After Arsene Wenger took charge of Real Madrid, Arsenal hired Claude Pierre, who had performed well as a coach at Lille in Ligue [-] over the past few years.

Interestingly, Pierre was once a player of Wenger when he was coaching in Monaco, and Pierre's assistant coach Jean Petit was Wenger's assistant coach when he was coaching in Monaco.

Now, the drama of this master-disciple showdown has the European football world eagerly looking forward to it.

Atletico Madrid drew Roma from Serie A.
