Chapter 500: Childish and Ridiculous (First Update)

Many people think that Barcelona is the representative of offensive football and artistic football.

This is mainly because their offense is not only beautiful, but more importantly, it is very efficient, which makes their offensive ability very strong. Few teams can keep a goal when playing against Barcelona.

This view is correct. Barcelona rarely fails to score in a game. In the league, they have many big wins. In the game against small teams, as long as they play freely, it is not surprising to score three goals or even four or five goals. Although Real Madrid can do this now, you have to know that ---

Barcelona doesn't have a player like Wang Li!!

The offensive capability of such a team is really scary.

However, after Real Madrid stabilized their defense, the players were relieved. Barcelona's offense was strong, but Real Madrid was not weak either. Moreover, the team also had 'Alan Wang', the world's number one star! !

In the hearts of Real Madrid players, Wang Li is now the cornerstone of their winning. As long as Wang Li is still on the court, they believe that the team will definitely win. This is the appeal when prestige reaches a peak.

This is a kind of confidence, and confidence will be transformed into motivation for the game.

Despite this, Barcelona temporarily gained the upper hand on the field. In the past five minutes, they had a 70% possession rate. The ball was controlled by Barcelona players for most of the time. Although they did not have any very good shooting or goal opportunities, their passes outside Real Madrid's perimeter were a constant threat to Real Madrid's defense. When Barcelona stepped up their offensive, the most shining players on the field became Ronaldinho and young Messi. Apart from Ronaldinho, the pillar of Barcelona, ​​young Messi had already made several shining performances in front of Real Madrid's penalty area.

Messi kept appearing in Real Madrid's penalty area, looking for opportunities to score.

When Barcelona's attack could not penetrate Real Madrid's defense, he would turn around to ask for the ball, helping the team's attack to be smoother and constantly contributing to Barcelona's attack. Seeing Messi's performance, head coach Rijkaard also nodded with a smile.

Just like what the Barcelona media said, Messi is indeed a priceless treasure of Barcelona. He can perform like this at the age of 19 this year, especially the many times when he can almost show "flash of inspiration" on the court, which proves that Messi does have the potential to become a superstar.

This kind of player is really rare.

Of course, Rijkaard would never compare Messi and Wang Li, because if he did, he would lose all confidence.

It was another Barcelona attack, and Messi raised his arm to ask for the ball about 10 meters in front of the penalty area.

At this time, Ronaldinho and Van Bommel were doing this, so Messi's hand raising did not attract much attention. Although he was hailed as a "priceless treasure" by Barcelona fans, in fact, for Real Madrid stars, Messi was just a rookie who had not grown up. Although he had several good performances in offense, he could not attract the attention of Real Madrid players at all.

Wang Li, who was standing in the midfield, was also looking back at the backcourt, and also did not notice this La Liga rookie.

I have to say, perhaps it was this indifference that allowed Messi to find the opportunity.

He did not keep waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, but kept running when he wanted the ball to put himself in a better position and have a better chance of receiving the pass.

This time, the Barcelona players did not pass the ball to Messi. Deco kicked the ball to Ronaldinho. Compared with Messi, Ronaldinho, who has excellent skills and rich experience, is more trustworthy.

But Messi was not upset. He kept running to look for opportunities. Unknowingly, when the ball was passed to the Barcelona players, he had already run to the penalty area line.

Among the Real Madrid players, only Beckham, who was returning to defense, noticed Messi. He ran a few steps and stood next to Messi. But in Beckham's heart, he also thought that the boy next to him was a rookie, so he didn't care too much.

At this time, there was a gap in the Real Madrid penalty area, and to Beckham's surprise, Messi unexpectedly made a forward run! !

Barcelona's attack did not have any direction. It should be said that their attack was at a higher tactical level and the requirements for positioning were also extremely strict.

Why is Barcelona's coordination often more gorgeous than that of other teams? ?

Why is it that in their offense, there are often some extremely unexpected combinations, allowing players to find opportunities to shoot?

This is not because of how strong their players are or how good their skills are, but because Barcelona, ​​from a tactical perspective, has followed a position-specific passing method. In other words, the cooperation between Barcelona players is often mostly position-based rather than person-based.

For example, when a Barcelona player passes the ball into the penalty area, they will not pass the ball directly to a certain player, but will pass it to where there is an open space. This is more like an intentional pass, which requires the offensive player to have a very high overall view and positioning.

This kind of passing method certainly exists in other top teams, but because it requires too high awareness from the players, it occupies a small proportion in ordinary teams. In Barcelona's general offense, passes near the penalty area are often all made in this way. This is the difference between Barcelona and other top teams in offensive style.

Obviously, this kind of cooperation poses a huge threat to the defending side, because they have no idea where the Barcelona players will run to next.

It is also because of this that Barcelona has extremely strict requirements on the players' awareness, and players from many European countries do not meet their requirements at all. No matter how high their price or how good their skills are, many big-name stars will have great difficulty adapting to Barcelona. It often takes them a long time to adapt to Barcelona's style, and some may even become glass men in Barcelona.

That's why more players in their team are Spanish, Portuguese and Argentinian.

The stars trained in these three countries are more suitable for Barcelona's style. As for England, Germany, and France? ? I'm afraid only some backcourt players can barely keep up with Barcelona's rhythm, and the frontcourt players can forget about it.

This time, when Ronaldinho received the pass from his teammate, he caught a glimpse of the empty space in Real Madrid's penalty area out of the corner of his eye. Although there were no Barcelona players there either, Ronaldinho still directly sent the ball in that direction.

And in the previous moment, Messi had already "entered" the penalty area.

Beckham obviously didn't react. When he wanted to catch up, it was too late. The football drew an arc in the air and landed right at Messi's feet.

Facing this opportunity, Messi didn't even stop the ball, he just volleyed it! !

"......Danger!! This kid is too impatient......"

What the commentator said was right, Messi had a very good sense of positioning, and it could be said that his cooperation with the Barcelona players was seamless, but his final shot was too hasty, and it went straight into an airplane, with the football jumping high over the crossbar.

This scene made Casillas breathe a sigh of relief. If the ball just now had been hit accurately, the score would probably have been rewritten now.

However, despite the poor shooting, the commentator still spoke highly of Messi: "...his awareness is very good, maybe in a few years, he will become a symbol of Barcelona."

"......However, he is still a rookie. The shot was terrible. Maybe it was because he was too nervous playing in the Bernabeu for the first time. Compared with Alan, he is far behind." As a commentator for Real Madrid, he would not say too much even when praising Barcelona players.

Messi's performance obviously goes beyond this.

When Real Madrid's counterattack failed to produce any results, Messi once again had a brilliant performance in another Barcelona attack.

In the frontcourt, Messi and his teammates were discussing, the ball was kicked to the side by Deco, and Van Bommel jumped the ball into the penalty area. At this time, Eto'o was sandwiched between two Real Madrid players, and he had no good shooting posture when he jumped up, so he chose to pass the ball back to Messi.

The reason why Eto'o did this was more because he saw that there were no Real Madrid players around Messi to defend him, and other Barcelona players had already been marked to death. Faced with this opportunity, Messi chose a long shot.

So, the next moment the football flew across the penalty area and rushed towards the goal.

Casillas didn't react at all, as there were too many people in the penalty area and his view was blocked. As Real Madrid fans were nervous, "Swish", with a sound, the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

"...It's really dangerous. I think Real Madrid should strengthen their defense against this kid. His performance in recent times is really great."

This attack still failed to score a goal. Messi was a little frustrated. He covered his head and walked back to Barcelona's backcourt with the comfort of Ronaldinho. On the way, he met Wang Li.

Wang Li saw his expression and was also a little surprised. This kid is indeed as strong as the media reported. Judging from his performance in this game, his strength is at least not worse than Robinho.

"I told you I will challenge you in the game. This is just the beginning!! Let's wait and see!" Messi said this when passing by Wang Li. The expression on his face showed some indignation and excitement.

Hearing this, Wang Li silently turned his head back, feeling a little moved.

In his opinion, there is no comparison between him and Messi, and the two do not even know each other. In his opinion, Messi's words are so childish and ridiculous, just like a student saying to his parents "I will get good grades". Messi also seems to want to prove something to Wang Li.

But for Wang Li, what’s the point even if Messi proves that he is very good?

It makes absolutely no sense.

In short, even if he reached Ronaldinho's level, Wang Li would not take him seriously at all.
