Chapter 359 At stake
"Leo Messi helped Barcelona chase the score to 1:3, and the total score was 4:3 to overtake Liverpool again. Lee must do something next, otherwise Liverpool will have to accept the fate of being eliminated in the away game."
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said worriedly: "The game came to the 73rd minute, and it seemed like there was a lot of time left for Liverpool. In fact, there was not much time at all. Barcelona exceeded the total score, and they will definitely strengthen their defense next. "
"Old man, don't be too nervous, you have to trust Li."
Guest commentator Martin Taylor laughed: "Including injury time, there are about twenty minutes left. There is enough time for Li!"
When the Sky TV commentator was commenting on the game, Liverpool head coach Klopp could not wait to make adjustments to the lineup. Emre Can withdrew from the line of fire, and Egyptian Pharaoh Salah was ordered to take over at the critical moment.
Liverpool's three-goal loss to Barcelona in the first round was largely due to Salah's poor performance, but Klopp still chose to trust the team's second goalscorer when Liverpool desperately needed a goal.
With Salah coming on as a substitute, Liverpool's lineup changed to a certain extent. Li Qing returned to the center to play as an attacking midfielder, and Salah moved to the attacking right.
Salah, who came on as a substitute, lived up to Klopp's trust. Although he did not score a goal, he posed a great threat to Barcelona's defense on the left.
Barcelona's main target is Li Qing, so Salah, who combines man and ball with good speed, has a huge space to get the ball, thus putting pressure on Barcelona's defense.
In fact, Salah's poor performance in the first round was directly related to the pertinence of Barcelona's defensive players. His outstanding performance in this game was due to the fact that Barcelona's defensive players were attracted to Li Qing, so it is natural for him to perform well.
The Barcelona fans at Camp Nou began to show their presence at this time, and the deafening roar was slowly replaced by the Barcelona team anthem "Barcelona Hymn" coming from the southwest stands.
The song with a strong sense of rhythm quickly swept the stadium, and the fanatical home atmosphere was on the rise again.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he really didn't like the atmosphere at Barcelona's home court. It was so... so noisy!
inside the stadium
Passionate
We are Barcelona fans
no matter where you are
No matter east, west, north or south
Now we are united
…
Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona!
…
The singing was so loud that the entire stadium seemed to transform into a huge speaker, spreading the heart-pounding sounds of nature.
The Liverpool fans in the audience were also singing the team anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone", but due to the limitations of the song's style, it was destined to be unable to compare with "Barcelona Anthem". In addition, the home fans had an absolute advantage, so there was no way the two could do it. Can be compared.
Amidst the cheers of the fans in the audience, Messi, who helped Barcelona score the goal, felt the blood in his body began to boil, and he couldn't wait to help the team make another success and kill the game!
There are more than ten minutes left in the game. If another goal is scored, it means killing the game!
The fans of the home team have a strong sense of presence. The Barcelona players are getting better and better and have regained the initiative in the game. They have rich experience in the game and know that they should boil the frog in warm water at this time. They do not rush to pass the threatening ball when the ball is at their feet, unless the opportunity is particularly good.
Messi is the only player in the Barcelona team who has the absolute right to fire, which means he can shoot regardless of the consequences at any time. However, as the captain of the field, he does not shoot wildly. He values the team more than individual goals. Advance to the Champions League final.
Since winning the Champions League in the 2014-2015 season, the team has not tried to win the Champions League for two seasons, and Messi wants to try it again.
Valdes still has one final substitution adjustment in hand, and he is thinking about how to make changes.
Should we maintain the offensive or strengthen the defense?
In the blink of an eye, the game reached the 80th minute. Barcelona, which had the initiative in the game, gradually struggled to switch from offense to defense. With physical fitness declining and many players receiving yellow cards for violating Li Qing, the team's defense would definitely have problems. With the current situation, At the end of the game, the team that advanced to this season's Champions League final was Barcelona, so Valverde decided to strengthen his defense.
Before Barcelona made adjustments, Liverpool made substitutions first, with veteran Milner replacing Henderson to maintain vitality in the middle.
In the 83rd minute, Messi's cross from the right was blocked by Robertson. Referee Kuipers signaled a substitution on the sidelines, and Turkish international Arda Turan replaced Dembele.
Turan, who came on as a substitute, stood directly where Dembélé had been. China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said solemnly: "Valverde deserves to be a master of tactics. Turan's adjustment really hit the lifeline of Liverpool."
When the broadcast screen showed Klopp, Howe changed the subject: "The thickness of Liverpool's bench obviously cannot be compared with Barcelona. Klopp still has the last card left in his hand. How will he adjust?"
Salah is very active on the right, and Turan, who is facing him, gives people the feeling of a tough warrior when he played for Atletico Madrid. He runs without hesitation, and his foot skills are very delicate, and he can make some tricks that are inconsistent with his image. It means that Valverde's adjustment will have a great effect on both offense and defense.
Li Qing, who still held a [Superstar Moment] in his hand, was very hesitant and didn't know whether to use it or not.
The reason for his hesitation is simple. If the score of 1:3 is maintained until injury time, it can play a decisive role. The question is whether the score of 1:3 will be maintained until then.
Once the score becomes 2:3, the score must become 2:5 to advance.
Another threatening Barcelona attack was destroyed by the hot-tempered Van Dijk, and Li Qing decided to score first!
Li Qing ran forward and waved for the ball, which immediately attracted the attention of Paulinho and Coutinho, the Brazilian international brothers. Arnold passed the ball directly without any hesitation.
"wait……"
Before Li Qing, who was about to catch the ball, finished speaking, Arnold's pass had already been passed to him. Turan, who came on the bench, extended his right foot while running and pushed back, and the football rolled towards Busquets.
Busquets can rank among the top three in the world with one kick. He does not stop the ball and directly sends the ball to a relatively empty place on the other side, which is his own right.
"aooaoaooaooooo——"
The air above the Camp Nou was filled with hysterical chants from Barcelona fans.
The live director switched the camera, and Sky TV commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "——Leo Messi!"
Robertson is positioned more forward, and the three midfielders are in the middle. This means that Messi, who receives the ball, has only two central defenders, Van Dijk and Matip.
Li Qing suddenly realized something, and he quickly ran back.
At stake!
It must be unrealistic to chase Messi across half the stadium. He is running towards the goal to see if he can do something.
He thought to himself: "Messi, don't score goals!"
