Chapter 166 Familiar cooperation, equalizing the score
The referee's whistle sounded and a foul was awarded to Paris Saint-Germain.
Li Mingyu looked back with some dissatisfaction, just in time to see Verratti looking at him in shock.
Judging from the slow motion just now, after Li Mingyu swayed past Verratti, Verratti immediately stretched out his hands and grabbed the jersey behind Li Mingyu.
But what was shocking was that Li Mingyu was just pulled for a moment, and then broke free directly. Due to the excessive force, Verratti almost fell on his back.
Fortunately, Paredes came fast enough to make Li Mingyu lose control of the ball. Otherwise, Li Mingyu would continue to dribble forward, which would be good for offense. The referee would not call a foul, so it would be dangerous for Paris Saint-Germain.
Verratti looked at Li Mingyu, what kind of monster is this? He doesn't look that strong, but the huge force just now is like the power that only players like Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo can have.
Direct free kick.
However, the location of the free kick this time is not very ideal, about 40 meters away from the goal. Although this distance is within the range of Li Mingyu's vigorous free kick, the success rate is too low.
Just like Carlos, he scored such a shocking ultra-long-range free kick in his life.
Li Mingyu discussed with Messi and decided that the ball should be a free kick.
Five or six Barcelona players came to the front of Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area, ready to grab the header this time.
Li Mingyu also came to the penalty area, ready to fight for the header.
The person who made the free throw this time was replaced by Messi.
The referee's whistle sounded, Messi kicked the ball with his left foot, and the football drew a beautiful arc and landed near the penalty spot.
There was a gust of panic in the restricted area, people pushing and crowding.
Li Mingyu immediately judged where the landing point was, but there were at least three or four people between him and the landing point.
Griesmann barely touched the football with his head, but only pushed it straight up and down.
The opponent's goalkeeper Navas attacked decisively and directly hammered the football out with his right fist.
Messi is standing on the line of the football, ready to reorganize the attack after receiving the ball.
However, suddenly, a figure flashed past Messi's side and blocked the ball with his chest.
The sudden change caused Messi to be shaken, and he didn't react immediately.
When he reacted, he saw Icardi hit his right foot, took the ball, and wiped it past him.
Icardi.
The alert Icardi has been in the midfield. Even this free kick did not allow Icardi to return to the front of his penalty area to participate in defense.
It really gave him this rare opportunity.
In front of Messi, the football was broken.
However, in front of him, there are two Barcelona defenders.
Eric Garcia and Mingesa, these two have been standing in the back line as the last line of defense.
Icardi also didn't have any timidity. Facing the defense of the two, Icardi was very smart to take the ball to the side.
Messi chased after him frantically.
And Neymar and Di Maria also followed up quickly, always ready to respond.
Icardi's speed is not top-notch, but it is enough.
Although Barcelona had two defenders dragging behind, the quick insertion of Neymar and Di Maria made this number difference directly smoothed out.
Three-on-three in the frontcourt.
However, Paris Saint-Germain's attacking formation is better. As long as Icardi can pass the ball to the right and let Neymar and Di Maria have a chance to receive the ball, then Barcelona's defense will collapse instantly.
But Icardi has been criticized for his lack of vision and team awareness.
After all, he is a center forward, and he has never learned the ability to handle the ball since he was a child.
I saw Icardi lowering his head and slamming forward. Eric Garcia next to him quickly approached him, trying to stop him with his arms from moving forward.
And Mingesa retreated quickly in the middle, looking at Neymar and Di Maria who came in from the other side from the corner of his eyes.
Messi is behind Icardi. It seems that if Icardi does not choose to pass the ball, he will be caught in a double-team after two seconds.
What people didn't expect was that Icardi used a beautiful cross with his left foot to sweep the football into the middle just before Messi and Eric Garcia were encircled.
Mingesa couldn't help being surprised when he saw the football kicked out of the encirclement.
He quickly stopped his backward steps and rushed towards the football frantically.
But on the line of this ball, it was Neymar who plugged in at a high speed.
Neymar took the lead and poked the football past Mingesa.
Mingesa didn't dare to foul and could only watch Neymar rush past him.
When goalkeeper Ter Stegen saw the ball, he also abandoned the goal and rushed out of the penalty area with a big stride.
Neymar caught up to the football at the arc of the penalty area. Looking at Ter Stegen, who was already two meters away from him, Neymar showed a strange smile on his face.
Ter Stegen panicked for a while and could only continue to rush forward.
I saw Neymar make a volley action, which caused Ter Stegen to make a fork, spread his body, and expand his defensive area.
However, Neymar's right foot swung high and landed gently, and the dropped right foot flicked under the football.
Like a black and white elf, the soccer ball playfully flew over the desperate ter Stegen.
Ter Stegen could only do his best to stretch out his arm and wave upwards, but the waving right hand only caught a wisp of air.
Neymar ran past Ter Stegen who was sitting on the ground, facing the falling football, lightly padd the instep of his right foot, turned his head and left the penalty area, opened his hands, and celebrated.
The football slowly rolled towards the goal, and eventually, it rolled over the goal line.
For Neymar's act of pretending to be 13, the fans at the Parc des Princes thought it was too handsome.
In the 10th and 2th minute of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain rewrote the score on the field to 1:[-], even surpassing the score.
Now the total score is 3:3, both sides have an away goal, now came to the same starting line.
This goal made the Paris Saint-Germain players ecstatic.
Since the last game, not only was the score 1:2 behind, but his own arrow figure, superstar Mbappe was also suspended.
The future looks bleak for Paris Saint-Germain.
This is one of the reasons why Barcelona chose to go all out to play in the league.
Unexpectedly, in this game, Paris Saint-Germain, who was waiting for work, showed such a strong desire to win in the first half.
Barcelona was beaten a little dizzy.
After the re-kick-off, Barcelona couldn't hold back and spent time until the last moment.
With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended.
The Barcelona players bowed their heads and left the field quickly.
There was a huge problem with the tactics in the first half.
After returning to the locker room, Koeman said very directly, "The passivity in the first half is all my problem. It is my mistake in the formation. Next, in the second half of the game, we will continue to return to our old lineup."
"Eric Garcia, Lenglet, Mingesa, the three of you sit in the backcourt."
"De Jong, Wijnaldum, you two partner with double midfielders. In the second half, your tasks will be heavier. I hope you can withstand the pressure."
"Two wings, Alba and Pedri, in the second half, I need you to tear me open on the wing and give Paris some color!"
"Li, you are still in the midfielder's position. In the first half, your performance was not satisfactory. I hope that in the second half, you can cheer up and the organization of the team will be entrusted to you!"
"Messi, Griezmann, you partner with two forwards, Messi, please help Li, in the second half of the game, everyone, don't give the opponent any chance!"
Koeman rearranged the lineup, returning to the 3-5-2 lineup with two wings used in the previous game.
This lineup has a balanced offense and defense. However, Wijnaldum is the first time in Barcelona as a midfielder. I don't know if he can adapt.
The 15 minute break is fleeting.
Both players return to the field.
Barcelona did not make substitutions, but the position before the kick-off made everyone see some clues.
"Oh, Koeman finally knew that it was his problem in the first half. I couldn't figure it out all the time. Why did it go well? In the first half, an ancient Christmas tree formation was used. In the end, the score was equalized by the opponent."
"Fortunately, he has come to his senses. If the second half is still a Christmas tree formation, it is estimated that Barcelona's Champions League will come to an end."
"However, Wijnaldum has assumed the position of the midfielder for the first time this season, and I don't know if he can help Barcelona hold up the back."
Pochettino, who returned to the sidelines, glanced at Koeman, who was sitting on the Barcelona bench, and frowned.
Changed formation again, this old boy really knows how to play!
After the kick-off, Li Mingyu received a return pass from Messi, and Barcelona's first attack in the second half began.
The familiar lineup and familiar running positions made all Barcelona players feel a burst of relief.
This is the rhythm of Barcelona!
Every time Li Mingyu passed the ball, he felt very comfortable, just like in training.
Paris Saint-Germain's defensive strength was quite strong at the beginning.
But in front of Barcelona, which has returned to a familiar lineup, the intensity of this fight is meaningless.
The quick pass made the familiar "tiki-taka" sound resound on the court.
The players of Paris Saint-Germain felt a shock. The opposite Barcelona seemed to have changed a team, and the team that was pressed by him in the first half was almost like two teams.
Unknowingly, Barcelona has moved Paris Saint-Germain's formation more and more forward.
A hint of danger flashed through Pochettino's heart on the sidelines. Before he could yell out, he saw Li Mingyu sweep the inside of his right foot with the instep of his right foot after receiving a pass from De Jong, and swept the ball to Pedri's feet on the side.
After receiving the ball, Pedri didn't stop the ball, and directly pushed the ball to the position in front of Li Mingyu.
People arrive at the ball.
As soon as Li Mingyu stretched out his foot, he controlled the passing football under his feet.
The horn of Barcelona's attack was sounded.
Pochettino was horrified to find that his formation had been stretched very far.
Verratti is in the opponent's half, and his own defense is about 30 meters away from Verratti.
The midfield is completely out of touch.
Li Mingyu quickly played the ball and kicked the football to Alba's feet on the wing.
Alba on the side was unguarded and rushed forward along the side like a fast horse.
Li Mingyu quickly plugged in from the middle at high speed.
Paris Saint-Germain's defense could only retreat backwards.
Li Mingyu and Messi chased the back line and rushed forward.
The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder chased after Li Mingyu.
Facing Florenzi's attack, Alba did not choose to pass the ball by himself, but passed the ball to Li Mingyu.
After Li Mingyu caught the ball and attracted the attention of the defender, he pushed the ball straight with the arch of his foot.
Alba plugged in at high speed, threw off the defense of the full-back, and went straight to the bottom.
Alba glanced at the defense in the middle, swept his left foot directly, and passed the football to the middle.
Griesmann in the middle threw his body out, trying to reach the ball with his feet, but watched helplessly as the football slipped a few centimeters in front of his toes.
Before the players of Paris Saint-Germain breathed a sigh of relief, Navas looked towards the back point with a look of horror, and moved frantically to his left with all his might.
At the back position, the unmarked Messi appeared in that position like a magic soldier descending from the sky, facing the incoming ball, Messi pushed with his golden left foot.
Navas pounced on the football with all his strength.
Navas sprinted into the goal with the football.
The Parc des Princes was once again silent.
This goal was launched from the midfield, and the whole process was smooth and smooth, and none of the players made muddled movements.
Facing the defense on the wing, Alba did not choose to break through by himself, but passed it to Li Mingyu, and continued to charge forward by himself.
Li Mingyu's pass was just right, Alba easily got rid of the full-back's defense, and made a pass without pressure.
Griesmann made a very good bait in the middle, drawing the attention of Paris Saint-Germain's defensive players to the middle, and completely exposing the back point.
Messi appeared in that position like a magic soldier, and basically announced the death sentence of Paris Saint-Germain.
In the No. 60 minute of the second half, Barcelona equalized the score on the field, 2:2, but the total score has come to 4:3, and Barcelona has one more away goal.
If Paris Saint-Germain wants to eliminate Barcelona, then they need at least two goals, and it must be guaranteed that Barcelona will not score again.
