Chapter 1004: Messi's eighteenth goal


Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes of the game were reached, which meant that the entire first half had passed by 13 minutes.

Valencia supporters, who had an absolute advantage in the stands, burst into loud cheers and cheered for the Valencian players on the field.

Of course, it was Ai Luo who cheered the most.

Especially the Chelsea fans and supporters from the West End of London.

Apart from being unified when they chanted with the Valencia fans, at other times they devoted their passion to Aiello who got the ball.

In the past 13 minutes of the first half, except for one self-directed shot, Messi basically had no chance to be on camera, so he was very anxious.

He was afraid that this much-anticipated Champions League final would once again become Ai Luo's performance. stage, and he was reduced to a background emperor.

As Argentina's domestic superstar, who is expected to become a Maradona-style player, he is invincible in all competitions, but he is unable to do anything against the team with Aiello.

He has also lost the league championship and the King's Cup this season.

In the crucial Champions League final, he does not want to lose again.

In this case, Messi broke out.

In the 18th minute, Barcelona switched from defense to offense.

Because Valencia returned to defense in time, their fast break was not successful and had to switch to positional offense.

Through cooperation on the ground, the ball was obtained by Messi who was attacking the right rib.

The full-back Alves was on the ball, waiting for Messi's pass at any time.

Alberda and Cazorla were ready, but Jordi Alba, taking Alves into consideration, focused on the route of Messi passing the ball to Alves.

This is an understandable choice for the full-back.

After all, there is a large space behind him.

If he ignores the space behind him just to defend Messi, that would be a real disaster.

Messi has a wide field of vision and it is impossible not to see this.

Empty time.

Messi stepped forward on the football on the sole of his foot, then pushed the ball forward with his right foot slightly to widen the distance between him and Albelda, and then dunked the ball to the left again, using his super strong The explosive power stuck in front of Albelda and protected the football.

Albelda was beaten by Messi and did not dare to foul easily, otherwise the referee would definitely give a yellow card warning, which is not worthwhile.

It just so happened that Messi took advantage of Albelda's fear of fouling and continued to bring the ball forward.

At this time, Valencia's defense system had not yet been formed and effectively protected, and it was entirely due to the most dangerous situation.

The left center back Godin had to press out to defend Messi.

At this moment, Messi suddenly kicked the ball to the feet of Pedro who was pulling to the center.

The latter kept the ball and kept the ball until Messi ran forward. on the route.

“Excellent one-on-one” The local commentator in Barcelona instantly went crazy.

As the Barcelona fans in the stands burst into cheers, Messi pushed the ball into the penalty area.

Albiol immediately stepped forward to defend Messi, but the latter's speed was so fast that he had no chance to make a move. , can only watch helplessly as Messi shoots with his right foot, which he is not good at.

Messi's shot was very sudden and at a tricky angle, almost heading towards the inside of the right near post.

Wang Xiaolei fell to the ground and made a sideways dive, but he was still half a beat too late because the football rolled into the goal against the inner edge of the right post.

"Messi, Messi, Messi" When Messi sent the ball into Wang Xiaolei's guarded goal, the Barcelona fans in the stands chanted Messi's name in unison.

"The ball is in, Messi," the Barcelona TV commentator raised his arms and shouted: "Messi first used his super personal ability to pass two people, and then played a wonderful one-two against the wall with Pedro, dribbling the ball Entering the penalty area and scoring the ball, Barcelona led Valencia 1:0 at the New Wembley Stadium.

At the same time, this was also his eighteenth goal in the Champions League this season."

Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor also praised Messi's goal: "Messi is indeed one of the three best offensive players on the planet.

His sudden effort caused a brief panic in Valencia's defense system, and then he personally A hit, and Barcelona deservedly took the lead.”

CCTV commentator He Wei, who is completely on Valencia's side, said: "A veteran is a veteran.

He has rich experience but his physical fitness is obviously not as good as that of young players.

Messi just accelerated the ball and got stuck in front of Albelda.

At this time, Valencia’s defensive system has not yet formed a perfect protection.

Messi is Messi, and his ability to read the game is very strong.

Valencia’s goal was not unfair.”

At the same time, Messi was extremely excited when he scored.

He scored earlier than Aiello in this game, which means that he tied Aiello in the number of goals in the Champions League this season.

As long as he scores again in the next game With one goal, he can surpass Ai Luo and lead the Champions League scorer list.

If the team performs well as a whole and wins the game, there is no problem in becoming the best forward in the Champions League this season.

The on-site director was very professional.

When Messi celebrated his goal, he did not go to the coaching bench on the sidelines, but switched the camera to Aiello.

But it is a pity that Aiello did not show any obvious changes in facial expression.

From the camera, he just clapped his hands to encourage his teammates.

When the game restarted, Ancelotti could not sit comfortably in the coaching bench.

He had to come to the sidelines to remind the players that previous mistakes could not be made again.

Similarly, Guardiola stood in the technical command area and reminded his teammates that they must strictly follow the pre-match arrangements, otherwise once Valencia equalizes the score immediately, the momentum will tend to be Valencia.

In fact, Valencia, which restarted the ball, did not intend to press forward aggressively, but instead pushed forward layer by layer.

Of course, it's not that Valencia doesn't want to move forward quickly.

Although Barcelona seems to have a very aggressive 433 formation in this game, it is actually a 460 strikerless formation, and the players protect each other very well.

There are two defensive midfielders in front of the entire defense line as a protective barrier, and in addition to Messi at the front, Iniesta, Xavi and Pedro are all three young players who stick to their own half to help defend.

Although defense is not what they are good at, their defensive awareness is very strong, limiting Valencia's passing space and breakthrough space.

In this case, even Ai Luo had no good solution.

He thought about drawing a foul to get a direct free kick, but the Barcelona defenders were not reckless at all.

Obviously Guardiola had strict tactical arrangements before the game, which led to his current tactical discipline.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes of the game have passed, and Valencia can still only pass the ball from the outside, but cannot send the ball to dangerous areas.

Seeing this, Guardiola finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the coaching bench
