Chapter 160 The Strongest Duo, Own Goal?
Modric is also a star who gets older and more demonic. In the World Cup four years ago, although Croatia lost to the French team in the end and failed to create a miracle, the Croatian team still won everyone's respect.
And Modric not only won the Golden Globe Award in that World Cup, but also broke the ten-year monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo in the FIFA awards that year, and became the 2018 World Footballer.
That year, the 32-year-old Modric achieved the pinnacle of his life.
Although Modric is nearly 36 years old now, his physical strength is definitely not as good as before, but his seasoned experience and super overall view allow him to still play an important role in Real Madrid's midfield.
Real Madrid have been able to go hand in hand on all fronts this season, and Modric's outstanding performance has played a large role.
Under the guidance of Modric, Harland's super offensive ability was fully displayed.
Today, in the league, Harland has scored 26 goals in 32 rounds. Although there is still a big gap compared with Li Mingyu's 40 goals, it is enough to prove his strong attacking power.
In the Champions League, although Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich in the first round of the quarter-finals, in that game, Haaland scored a golden away goal to help Real Madrid hope for a comeback.
In the UEFA Champions League scorer list this season, Harland ranked second with 12 goals and became the youngest player with 30 goals in the history of the UEFA Champions League.
The top scorer in the UEFA Champions League is naturally Li Mingyu. He has scored 9 goals in 18 games, with an average of 2 goals in a game. It is very likely that in the next game, Harland's youngest record of 20 goals will be broken.
The birth of Harland last season has already surprised the world football.
With such a powerful successor appearing, Ronaldo and Messi, who are getting old, can withdraw from the stage of history with peace of mind.
Mbappe and Harland were known as the absolute twins of the new generation at the time.
However, at the end of last season, when Barcelona was dying in the Spanish La Liga, a young man of Chinese descent, a blockbuster, almost single-handedly pulled Barcelona from the unfavorable situation of two more games and two points behind, and finally completed an incredible [-] consecutive victories, and miraculously won the league championship last season.
The appearance of Li Mingyu made the Spanish Football Association, which has been caught up by the Premier League due to Ronaldo's departure and Messi's various news, be ecstatic.
This season, Real Madrid brought Harland to Spain from Dortmund in the Bundesliga with an irresistible price.
In this way, the two hottest rising stars in the entire football world gathered in Spain, and immediately, all the eyes of world football were gathered here.
Spain was once again the most attractive place.
In the past ten years, the Spanish national derby has been called the century derby because of the two top stars in the world, Ronaldo and Messi.
Every time the two teams confront each other, it will attract the attention of fans all over the world.
However, due to Ronaldo's departure, the attention of the national derby has dropped greatly.
But this season, the first national derby has created unprecedented ratings. In 182 countries around the world, more than 10 billion people watched the live broadcast of this game.
The number of viewers in Huaxia accounted for 30% of the total number of people, and almost 3 million people watched the live broadcast of the game.
With such a terrifying number of spectators, people can't help but secretly stunned.
After all, during the peak period of Ronaldo and Messi, the number of global viewers of the national derby was only 6.5 million.
And this national derby, I believe it should not be worse than the ratings of the first game, after all, this game is related to the ownership of the Spanish League One champion this season.
And for this game, the Spanish Football Association specially adjusted the time of the game. Usually, the Spanish Football Association usually arranges the highlight of this kind of national derby to be played on weekend evenings in Spain's local time.
At that time, it was a good time for everyone to come out to watch the game after eating.
However, today's game was held at [-] pm local time in Spain.
For the Spanish fans, it is an unfriendly time, and for the players, it is an uncomfortable time.
However, in order to take care of Asia, which has hundreds of millions of fans, especially Chinese fans, the Spanish Football Association has arranged this very thoughtfully.
Because this time is 8 o'clock in the evening in Huaxia, which is a good time to watch football.
At this time, on the streets of Huaxia, because it was the weekend, there were not many people on the streets that should have been crowded, especially not many men.
The TV sets in thousands of households are occupied by men today. I don’t know what kind of unequal treaties they have agreed to their wives or mothers to get the right to watch TV.
Looking at the yellow-skinned, black-eyed, and yellow-haired Li Mingyu in the camera, Huaxia fans couldn't help feeling proud.
Although he can't play for China, it is also a kind of pride for a Chinese player to appear in the world's top competition.
Suddenly, men's passionate cheers came from every community in Huaxia, followed by bursts of condemnation.
Li Mingyu, the Chinese young man on TV, excitedly directed at the camera and made a kissing gesture.
Barcelona scored?
Through the playback in slow motion, we can see the whole goal happening.
Modric's kick went straight, and after Harland got the ball, he forcibly tried to break through Langley's defense.
But Langley, who has now recovered, is not the big colander riddled with holes.
He leaned against Harland tightly with his body, making it impossible for Harland to start up at all. Cooperating with Eric Garcia on the other side, the two grabbed the ball from Harland's feet abruptly.
Before Langley fell to the ground, he tiptoed the football out.
Busquets received the poked football, flicked it lightly, and handed it to De Jong next to him.
De Jong took the ball forward, and Barcelona's offensive and defensive transition came.
Real Madrid's players are also returning to defense very quickly.
After De Jong took the ball two steps forward, he suddenly made a long pass and passed the football to the right side of the court.
There, Messi, who had been pulled away, unloaded the flying football with his chest, without the slightest smell of fireworks.
Before the ball hit the ground, Messi tapped his toes lightly, and then turned around quickly, causing Marcelo, who was about to steal the ball, to stagger.
After passing through, Messi quickly cut in and rushed towards Real Madrid's penalty area.
This pass disrupted Real Madrid's backcourt defense all at once.
Ramos and Nacho all rushed over, trying to stop Messi from moving forward.
But their movement caused the center of the court to open wide.
Messi's fake move to dribble the ball to the bottom line made Ramos not dare to neglect, and quickly shifted his center of gravity.
But Messi didn't continue to dribble the ball, but with his right foot, he swept the football towards the arc of the penalty area in the middle.
Ramos was startled and quickly looked over.
I saw a red and blue figure appearing in that position, facing the incoming ball, and shot a ground-breaking fury, like a football fired from a cannonball, so Real Madrid's goalkeeper Courtois had no choice but to make a desperate pounce.
The football stirred up a white wave in the net.
Only 10 minutes into the game, Barcelona took the lead.
The person in the back row who jumped in at high speed and scored the goal was Barcelona's No. 11, the core midfielder Li Mingyu.
Barcelona's strongest duo showed their power again, Messi passed the ball and Li Mingyu shot.
Griesman looked at the two hugging each other with a lemon face, as if forming a threesome with them!
The Camp Nou stadium suddenly fell into a sea of cheers.
However, in a sea of red and blue, a touch of white that cannot be ignored is so dazzling.
The fans wearing white Real Madrid jerseys were not intimidated by this goal. Their faces were as enthusiastic as ever, and they used their singing and cheering to tell the Real Madrid players on the field that you are not only yourself, but we are behind you. Come on!
Real Madrid players seem to have heard the support of the fans.
After the re-kick-off, although they were one goal behind, the Real Madrid players did not have any low morale. Instead, through several exquisite cooperation, they created several dangerous situations in front of Barcelona's goal.
If it weren't for Ter Stegen's good form today, Barcelona might have lost the ball.
Real Madrid's offensive wave after wave, Barcelona was actually suppressed by the opponent.
Real-time ball possession ratio, Barcelona is actually behind, 48%-52%, although not much behind, but for Barcelona, which pays attention to pass and control as king, this is already a big disadvantage!
Modric and Isco's midfielder is definitely no less than Li Mingyu and Messi's partner in terms of pass control.
Isco suddenly speeded up, a beautiful ball passed, completely passed De Jong, and directly faced Barcelona's defense.
Isco's breakthrough caught Barcelona's defense by surprise.
And after Isco wiped off De Jong, when he was still about 30 meters away from the goal, he didn't choose to pass the ball. Instead, he flicked the ball lightly, and with a powerful long shot, he shot the football towards the goal.
This is a half-high ball, the speed of the ball is very fast, but the angle does not seem to be tricky, and it hits the center of the goal to the left.
Ter Stegen quickly moved over, stood on the line of the football, and was about to hold the ball in his arms.
But a shocking thing happened. In the crowd, two feet suddenly stretched out and kicked the football almost simultaneously, causing the football to change its trajectory.
Ter Stegen's expression changed, and he, who had already moved to his left, could only watch helplessly as the football bounced to the other side of the goal.
"Don't go in!" Ter Stegen was about to shout this sentence.
But, to his disappointment, the ball bounced straight into the goal behind him.
Isco roared excitedly.
In the penalty area, a player wearing a white jersey separated the crowd and rushed to the sidelines excitedly, celebrating wildly.
Look at the number on this man's back, number 7.
Harland.
For Isco's shot just now, in the penalty area, it was Harland who stretched his foot to change the line of the football, so that the ball bounced into the goal.
Looking at Harland celebrating passionately, Isco's face flashed a gloomy look.
Isco has not scored in 10 games, and he finally scored a goal, which was snatched by Harland. The depression in his heart can be imagined.
However, what is surprising is that after this goal, some attentive fans watching TV at home saw the official data, 1:1.
However, the player who scored the goal was Li Mingyu on Barcelona's side, but on Real Madrid's side, it was Eric Garcia's own goal.
In other words, the Spanish officials treated the ball as Eric Garcia's own goal.
Through the slow-motion playback, we can indeed see that Isco's shot first touched Harland's toes in the penalty area, and then hit Eric Garcia's calf before being refracted and bounced into the goal.
Therefore, if this ball is awarded as Eric Garcia's own goal, there will be no problem.
However, the Real Madrid players on the field didn't know this, especially Harland, who made a very exaggerated celebration on the sidelines, which attracted huge boos from the Barcelona fans.
Zidane on the sidelines couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead. Why did this kid provoke the fans again? I really don't know what to say!
The first national derby this season was because of this kid's impulsiveness. He not only competed with Benzema for the right to take a penalty kick, but also elbowed the opponent's defender at the last moment of the game. The referee on duty sent him thousands of miles away with a ruby promotion card.
As a result, in that game, at the last moment, Li Mingyu scored a goal that beat Real Madrid.
After the game, Harland also became the target of criticism from the media.
Fortunately, Zidane stood up and supported Harland, which quickly subsided the farce.
However, Zidane's approach caused Benzema to be very upset.
We are all French fellows, it’s fine if you don’t turn to me, but you still turn to Harland.
Real Madrid's locker room is full of factions, and Benzema, as the leader of the French department, must fight.
However, Haaland's performance in the team is getting better and better, scoring more and more goals.
And Benzema has fallen into a scoring drought without scoring in six consecutive games.
Facing the powerful Harland, Benzema also knew that he lost.
Now in Real Madrid, Harland has become the well-deserved top gold spot.
What's more, behind him is the head coach Zidane as a backer.
