Chapter 157
The frontcourt duo of Paris Saint-Germain has little cooperation.
Whether it's Mbappe or Neymar, as long as they get the ball, they just go it alone.
The individual combat capabilities of the two are definitely at the top level in the world. However, the Barcelona team, which has long taken precautions, is most afraid of individual combat.
Barcelona's offensive and defensive system is actually to form a triangular offensive and defensive formation on the field.
When attacking, three players stand on the three corners of the triangle and move constantly to form an irregular triangle.
Therefore, Barcelona's attack is very sharp, because their offense is unconventional. Through frequent movement and pass control, the opponent has no way to defend.
And when defending, especially the counterattack after losing the ball, these triangles are still used to recover quickly after losing the ball. Therefore, Barcelona has many opportunities, all of which are generated under the quick siege after losing the ball in the frontcourt.
Mbappe and Neymar's individual combat can deal with one Barcelona defensive player, or two Barcelona defensive players, but when facing the front and rear flanking, forming a triangle defensive Barcelona system, their offense is like being in a quagmire, and it is difficult to move an inch.
Pochettino, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain off the field, frowned. He did not expect that in such an important game, the two main players in the team would not pass the ball to each other on the field.
When the ball was dead, Pochettino called captain Kimpembe in front of him and asked him to tell Neymar not to continue to have conflicts with Mbappé, the game is the most important thing now.
After all, Neymar has now successfully renewed his contract, so it is easier to talk.
Kimpembe informed Neymar of the coach's intentions.
Neymar frowned, but he also knew the importance of this game.
In the next attack, when Neymar continued to move forward, he suddenly passed the ball to an empty space in Barcelona's defense.
When Neymar took the ball, Mbappe basically gave up, slowly swaying in the frontcourt, and didn't have the mind to move.
When seeing Neymar pass the ball, Mbappe was also surprised, but it was too late to move again.
Neymar passed this ball very trickily. If Mbappe really runs in place, it will definitely be a rare opportunity.
Barcelona's defense was also in a cold sweat.
After Neymar passed the ball, he saw that Mbappe hadn't moved and didn't say anything, so he turned his head and walked back.
The two basically had zero communication.
In Barcelona's next attack, Messi shot and was blocked by Navas.
The offensive and defensive transition, after reaching the frontcourt, Neymar took the ball and passed it to Verratti on the right, and then he continued to run forward.
However, his running route seems to overlap with Mbappe.
Verratti swayed the angle, passed his foot straight, and passed it to Neymar who was running.
On the line where the football rolls, Neymar and Mbappe are both on this line.
However, Neymar, who moved aggressively, got more attention from Barcelona, and two players double-teamed towards his position, trying to stop his progress.
But what everyone didn't expect was that when Neymar was about to touch the football, he stepped directly over the football in one step, allowing the two defensive players who rushed over to miss it.
The football rolls on and Mbappe is waiting on the line.
After Neymar crossed the football, he accelerated his speed and rushed forward. The two defensive players completely lost their defensive positions because they had stopped.
After receiving the ball, facing the defense of the two defenders, Mbappe raised his right foot high and made a direct shot.
Mbappe stood on the arc of the penalty area, and with such an action, Eric Garcia and Mingesa could only block it.
When Mbappe's raised right foot fell, he didn't slam the football hard, but picked it very lightly under the football.
The football flew over the heads of the two defensive players like a well-behaved elf.
At the penalty spot and the ribs in the middle of the small penalty area, Neymar watched the football falling from the sky, concentrating.
Ter Stegen also abandoned his goal and quickly rushed out of the small penalty area.
But it was too late. Facing the attacking Ter Stegen, Neymar aimed his right foot at the falling football and volleyed. The football passed by the attacking Ter Stegen like an arrow off the string and scored into the goal behind him.
After the goal, Neymar excitedly greeted Mbappe who passed the ball to him, and went to the back stands to celebrate together.
After seeing the goal, Mbappe let go of the grudge in his heart, rushed to Neymar's side excitedly, and celebrated with everyone.
Before Neymar received the ball, the Barcelona players all raised their hands high, indicating that Neymar was offside.
However, the flag in the hands of the linesman did not go up.
The referee also pointed to the center circle with his finger after Neymar scored the goal, indicating that the goal was valid.
Pique expressed his dissatisfaction. Neymar's ball was definitely offside, so he kept putting pressure on the referee and asked the referee to use VAR to judge.
The referee frowned and asked the video assistant referee whether the ball was suspected of being offside.
The video assistant referee, as the other eye on the court, has a lot of responsibilities.
Under normal circumstances, it is rare for the video assistant referee to intervene, and the most is whether the goal is valid.
Just like the situation just now, was Neymar in an offside position before the goal.
This can be determined through VAR replays.
If in the VAR replay, Neymar was indeed in an offside position before the goal, then the referee can decide to cancel the goal after watching the VAR replay.
Therefore, when the referee decided to watch the VAR replay, the faces of the Paris Saint-Germain players who had already started celebrating were all black.
Ma Dan, halfway through the celebration, you came here to do this, it's too much!
Everyone on and off the court is very nervous, this ball is very important to both sides.
If the equalizing goal is blown away, it will be a bolt from the blue for Paris Saint-Germain, and it is likely to affect the trend of the entire game.
The referee came to the video replay area on the sidelines, picked up the earphones, and watched the replay of the game.
At this time, the fans watching TV at home saw the replay of the goal just before the goal appeared on the TV screen.
The moment Mbappe's right foot touched the football, a line was drawn in front of Neymar and the last defender.
Neymar is a red line, Pique is a blue line.
These two lines almost coincide.
However, after the screen was enlarged and refined, everyone clearly found that the blue line represented by Pique was closer to the goal, that is to say, at the moment Mbappe passed the ball, Pique was the one closest to the goal.
Therefore, Neymar was not offside and the goal was valid.
The referee did not make a conclusion easily, but called up a video playback from another angle.
In the playback from this angle, it is even more obvious that Neymar is indeed half a shoulder behind Pique.
All the fans saw the referee put down the earphones, knowing that the final judgment was coming, they all held their breath and looked at the referee.
The referee first drew a square in front of him, and then pointed his right hand in the direction of the middle circle.
The goal counts.
The Paris Saint-Germain players all breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the cheers of the fans, the Paris Saint-Germain players were a little embarrassed. Due to the intervention of the referee, their ecstasy and excitement just now had disappeared.
They could only hug each other, relieving the awkward atmosphere.
It's like when you are about to fart, you are frightened by someone, and the fart doesn't come out, but when you want to fart, you can't find the feeling.
It's very annoying!
After Pique saw the referee's gesture, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Anyway, he was making a mess. If the referee was dazzled, wouldn't it be an advantage?
Anyway, the current result is no different for Barcelona.
1:1, No. 308 minutes in the first half, Paris Saint-Germain equalized the game through Neymar's strong shot.
The rest of the game in the first half was a bit dull, perhaps affected by the VAR just now, Paris Saint-Germain did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.
With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended, the score remained unchanged, and it was still tied at 1:1.
For this score, Barcelona fans are of course very dissatisfied, but Paris Saint-Germain fans are definitely pretty good.
After returning to the locker room, Paris Saint-Germain coach Pochettino called Neymar and Mbappé together, and explained to them the importance of today's game, hoping that the two of them can cooperate sincerely to defeat Barcelona.
Neymar and Mbappe looked at each other, stretched out their fists, touched each other, and made a decision.
In the locker room of the visiting team, the atmosphere was a little dull. In the first half of the game, Barcelona did not exert their dominance.
Although in defense, the defense of Mbappe and Neymar is very tight, but the one hundred and one sparse, allowing the opponent to score a goal through exquisite cooperation.
In the frontcourt offense, Li Mingyu's state was still very good despite the support of the system.
After all, this is Li Mingyu's second season of competition. In this season's competition, Li Mingyu hardly got much rest time. The league, Champions League, King's Cup, national team, and frequent matches made Li Mingyu feel that his body had reached a certain limit.
The system is very powerful, it can make Li Mingyu's body stronger quickly, and his physical strength can also be very abundant.
But there was only one thing, the system couldn't help Li Mingyu relieve his mental fatigue.
Two games a week, or even three games a week, such intensive games, made Li Mingyu, who has only one year of experience in the top league, feel tremendous psychological pressure.
Today, Li Mingyu has become a super star in the whole of Europe, and even the whole world football.
A whole year of wonderful performance has made Li Mingyu stand on the cusp of the storm.
Watching the media praise him every day, watching the fans encourage him, watching everyone put Barcelona's revival on his shoulders, this kind of huge pressure made the young Li Mingyu feel a little overwhelmed.
I could see Messi's anxiety. Messi had talked with Li Mingyu about his past experience more than once when the two were alone.
When Messi first entered the Barcelona first team, it can be said that he was loved by thousands of people. His transition was very smooth. The head coach Rijkaard and Guardiola both entrusted Messi with important tasks.
In the end, Messi became a banner of Barcelona until now.
However, because Barcelona's results in the Champions League have been too ugly in the past six years, everyone blamed Messi on his head.
Messi did not justify anything. As the banner of Barcelona, Messi can only do his best to help the team.
However, to Messi's disappointment, Bartomeu, the former chairman of Barcelona, is simply a "bass traitor" and an out-and-out "liar"!
Due to being deceived by Bartomeu many times, in some of Bartomeu's text messages recently released, the last message Messi sent to Bartomeu was found.
"You're leaking again, you're fucking me again, damn it."
In 2019, Messi asked Bartomeu whether Barcelona had signed Griezmann and whether Neymar could return to Barcelona.
Bartomeu told Messi vowedly that the team has not signed Griezmann, and the possibility of Neymar returning to Barcelona is very high.
However, within a few days, the news that Neymar renewed his contract with Paris Saint-Germain made Barcelona black-faced.
The arrival of Griezmann also made Messi completely lose trust in Bartomeu.
Last season, when Koeman took office, Messi and Koeman had a meeting. During this meeting, Messi expressed that he was likely to leave Barcelona.
The content of this meeting was quickly known by the media.
The spearhead of this leak was directed at Bartomeu.
That's why Messi's furious text message came into being.
Bartomeu's imprisonment finally brought a long-lost smile to Messi's face.
Its daybreak.
However, Messi's heart to leave Barcelona has not changed. At that time, Barcelona had completely disappointed Messi.
But the turning out of Li Mingyu rekindled the hope in Messi, who was ashamed.
The championship last season made Messi firm in his belief in staying in the team.
Taking the initiative to cut salary in the summer, Messi gained respect and gave the team a chance to breathe.
What Li Mingyu said to the media, I want all the champions, so why not Messi's wish!
