Messi was confident after orchestrating the team's third goal to equalize the score.
He even thought he could lead Barcelona to score three or four goals in a row at the Mestalla Stadium, directly win the King's Cup final, and lead Barcelona Defeated Valencia, led by Aiello, the so-called final king.
It not only helps the team clean up the humiliating record of Valencia being unable to score points this season, but also rectifies his name.
So Messi worked very hard after the team equalized the score.
His cooperation with Iniesta was a perfect match, and with Xavi organizing from it, the plot should have developed as he expected, but what he never expected was Valencia took the lead again under the leadership of Aiello.
Although Aiello did not score this goal, anyone who knows football knows that he was the biggest contributor to this goal.
Messi worked harder during the period when the team fell behind again, but this effort did not actually help Barcelona, because Valencia launched a more intense attack under the leadership of Aiello.
And he also used his super personal ability to make the team's defense line chaotic, and even caused almost every defensive player to receive a yellow card.
This result will have a profound impact on the game with nearly twenty minutes left.
Ai Luo's personal ability is super strong.
Under normal circumstances, two or three people cannot restrain him.
Therefore, it is often necessary to use unconventional actions to defend, and such unconventional actions are often fouls.
Maybe the referee will not care about it once or twice, but it is inevitable that the referee will remember the accumulation of fouls committed by the defensive players.
What will happen if he gets another yellow card?
Besides, sometimes unconventional defensive actions may not be able to restrain Aiello, and more tough fouls must be used to stop it, and these tough foul actions are often yellow card in nature.
Thinking of this, Messi knew that he could not continue to stay and must help the team equalize the score in the shortest time.
Otherwise, once the game entered the 75th minute, the result of the game was almost a foregone conclusion.
With the Champions League semi-finals scheduled for the middle of next week, it is impossible for the team to work hard to win the Copa del Rey, not to mention that the dawn of victory is almost out of reach.
A few more minutes passed, and Messi became more proactive in asking for the ball, using his superb dribbling ability to create opportunities.
However, there are not many such fleeting opportunities, because the initiative of the game lies in the hands of Valencia, which has the advantage of home court.
As the game time decreases, Valencia's offense rarely passes forward.
Unless there is an excellent forward rally, it is mainly based on cross passes and back passes.
Against this background, Barcelona did not show the momentum of burning the boat.
Messi's efforts seemed very weak and could not support the entire team's offense.
The local Barcelona commentator who was a bystander said depressingly: "Barcelona's offense obviously has problems.
Leo worked very hard, but his personal ability cannot support the entire team.
He must invest more troops in the offense.
Josep is still What are you thinking about?”
At this time, the on-site director switched the camera to Guardiola's face and pushed it to a close-up.
Guardiola looked gloomy in the camera, with his mouth pursed and his eyes looking directly at the court.
Of course, he was not in a fuzzy state, but was thinking about when to make the third personnel adjustment for the entire game.
It's less than seventy-five minutes now, so it's obviously inappropriate to make the third substitution adjustment for the offense.
After all, Guardiola is still afraid that reducing defensive players will lead to a void in the rear.
When the time comes, if a strong attack fails and a goal is scored, there will be no way to save it.
The reason why Guardiola has this idea is directly related to the fatal crisis that occurred after he instructed Busquets to boldly press forward.
It was scary enough if this happened once, and he didn't want it to happen again.
Because no one can guarantee that danger will be saved when the same situation occurs.
Especially in the defense system, except for Puyol, no defensive player remains innocent.
In the blink of an eye, the game entered the most difficult seventy-five minutes.
The running game has dropped significantly, both on offense and defense.
However, at this moment, Cavani, who had just been replaced in the second half, changed positions with Aiello and came to the wing to look for opportunities.
After passing the football several times, Cazorla suddenly passed the ball directly to Aiello, who was on the right at the top of the arc in the penalty area.
The latter calmly used the arch of his left foot to pass the ball to Cavani, who was pulling to the left.
The defensive player guarding Cavani was Alves, who had a yellow card on his back.
In response, Cavani first made a fake move of dribbling laterally, and then slammed the ball towards the baseline with the arch of his right foot.

Alves lost the opportunity and was not allowed to play because he was carrying a yellow card.
If you dare to use foul actions, you can only lower your head and chase.
Although Alves is very fast, Cavani, who is a winger, is not slow, and Cavani is taller and has a larger body coverage area.
It is undoubtedly a fantasy for Alves to steal the ball behind Cavani, who has experienced the test of Italian defense.
While Cavani was dribbling the ball forward, he also raised his head and looked towards the penalty area.
He clearly saw the index and middle fingers of Aiello's left hand extending forward.
This is the signal for a quick cross.
And he also has a rough crossing route in his mind, because these were explained in detail during training.
With Alves losing his position, right center back Pique had to fill in, leaving Aiello, who was pulled forward in the center, to Puyol and Busquets.
Because they entered the penalty area, Puyol and Busquets did not dare to make any big moves, but consciously sandwiched Aiello in the middle.
"Cavani" With a shout from Martin Taylor, Cavani quickly kicked the football with his left foot and crossed.
Neither Alves' extended foot from behind nor Pique's normal extended foot stopped the football, and the football quickly flew towards the front of Barcelona's small penalty area.
Goalkeeper Valdes looked up at the incoming football and chose to stand on the goal line.
Busquets approached Aiello while looking up at the ball.
He knew that the football must not miss his eyes, otherwise it would be unrealistic to expect Puyol, who is less than 1.8 meters tall.
Spotting the landing point of the football, Busquets pushed hard with his right foot, trying to jump up to make a clearance.
But just as he was halfway through the jump, he felt like he had hit a solid wall.
At this time, Busquets didn’t know what he had bumped into.
This mid-air collision also interfered with Busquets' upward take-off, not to mention the landing point of the football.
However, Aiello, who was more prepared, was an exception.
He kept his body upward, accurately found the landing point of the football, twisted his waist and shook his head, and headed the ball towards the far corner of the goal:
