Chapter 497 Messi's technology Xiaodong's power
Outside the locker room, Barcelona players had already come out. Seeing Inter Milan players come out, Ibrahimovic was not as arrogant as the news said. He came over to say hello to his former teammates. However, Inter Milan players reacted coldly. Ibrahimovic's words "I can't win the championship without me" hurt the feelings of Inter Milan players.
Etoo is now a landlord, and he took the initiative to say hello to Barcelona's players. Etooo's popularity in Barcelona is obviously better than Ibrahimovic. At least the Barcelona players are very enthusiastic, even if it is a straightforward man like Puyol and Pique.
Seeing that both sides were all here, German referee Stark took them to the stadium.
More than 80,000 Inter Milan fans were already impatient. As soon as the players of Inter Milan emerged, the applause immediately surged towards the players, allowing Inter Milan players to feel the enthusiasm and desire of the fans at the first time.
Facing the powerful enemy who brought shame to him again, Gao Xiaodong was excited and nervous, wishing he could have picked up the prelude to shake hands, exchange team flags, etc., and the competition started immediately.
However, what Gao Xiaodong didn't expect was that when he shook hands with Pique, Barcelona defender Pique actually stretched out four fingers and shook them in front of him like a provocative way.
Obviously, this is not a normal handshake, it is a provocative move because Pique bent his thumb.
Gao Xiaodong knew that his opponent wanted to anger himself, but his anger suddenly became louder. Gao Xiaodong did not hold Pike's hand, but hit Pike hard and sneered: "Wait, I will return these four balls to you intact."
Pique saw that he was successful and angered Gao Xiaodong, and smiled and said, "Welcome to you."
Gao Xiaodong is one of the focus of the game. His alternative handshake movement was noticed by the commentator Reka on the scene. "Hey! What is Xiaodong Gao doing? Is he making an appointment with Pique? I saw him and Pique hit him. Could it be that I was wrong? Have they dated?"
Many fans also saw it, but no one could guess what happened between the two of them just now.
He Hui, a commentator of China CCTV, focused on referee Stark. "Referee Stark is not a mascot against Barcelona and Inter Milan. Stark enforced Inter Milan four times in 6 years. Inter Milan drew and lost two games, without a single win, and was eliminated from the Champions League three times. However, Barcelona did not gain any advantage under Stark. In three games in Stark's law enforcement, Barcelona drew and lost two. Last season, because Stark was indifferent to Chelsea's rough movements, he was criticized by Guardiola. In this game, we will see who can break the fate and win a victory in Stark's hands."
In the VIP box, Inter Milan President Moratti and Barcelona President Laburta were chatting absent-mindedly. Both presidents were thinking about the game that was about to begin. After experiencing the transfer of the summer, Barcelona and Inter Milan performed well in the league and the Cup in the new season. Inter Milan won the Italian Cup, Barcelona won the Spanish Cup and the European Cup, and also won the league, but this did not prove the correctness of their transfer in the summer. For these two teams, the direct confrontation between the two teams is the most convincing.
After the players from both sides took the side, they stood in their own half, and referee Stark finally blew the whistle to start the game.
The focus battle between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the O91O Champions League group stage finally kicked off.
The away team Barcelona took the lead in kicking off. Ibrahimovic passed the ball and Henry. The ball returned to the midfield. Inter Milan's double strikers Etoo and Militoxun pushed over the center circle and pressed Barcelona's ball-holder players. Inter Milan's midfield and backcourt also took the front, compressing Barcelona's pass space.
Barcelona is a team that regards controlling the ball as life. Faced with Inter Milan's front pressure, they did not rush to pass the ball to the front, but patiently turned their feet in the backcourt, trying their best to attract Inter Milan players to their half-court, so that Inter Milan's back line could be as far away from their goal as possible.
Inter Milan players have done a lot of preparations. They understand how excellent Barcelona's ball control skills are. They do not expect to snatch the ball in the opponent's half, with more pressure and less pressure, and at the same time tempting Barcelona to attack their own penalty area.
Barcelona passed more than a dozen consecutive balls, but although there were no mistakes, they did not make any room for them. Inter Milan's midfielder and defender were very close. Ibrahimovic, Henry and Messi were all guarded, and the players who assisted the defense were eyeing him. Barcelona midfielder Xavi, who held the ball, had no choice but to pass it to Messi to see if Messi can use his personal abilities to change the situation on the court.
Messi was very defensive by Inter Milan on the right. When he approached the bottom line, Zivo kept a close eye on the defense. When he was away from the bottom line, Sanetti followed closely, and in short, Messi did not let the ball easily.
However, Messi is Messi after all. After Xavi passed the ball, he kept knocking the ball directly to Keita who was in front. Keita passed the ball to the air under Mota's defense. Messi started high and broke away from Sanetti and tangled across the front of the penalty area.
When Lucio saw that Zanetti could not keep up with Messi, he immediately came out of the penalty area to intercept it, but Messi moved very quickly, and went horizontally, passing Lucio, and without waiting for Samuel to rush over, he immediately took a strong shot.
Samuel's interception was slower and the ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar got into the state at the beginning and was very focused. He smartly judged that Messi's shooting angle was only the lower left corner. He predicted in advance and flew to throw the ball into his arms, without giving Ibrahimovic the chance to shoot after he came over.
Although goalkeeper Cesar was steadily saved, the Inter Milan fans were still shocked. When Messi kicked, a "ahhh" scream instantly sounded over the court.
Commentator Reca sighed: "Messi's skills are so good! This is a typical Barcelona-style offense. Although Inter Milan's defense is very strict, Messi still uses his personal ability to find the space for shooting. If Inter Milan wants to win in this game, he must watch Messi and don't let him have too many opportunities to get the ball."
The goal is to target the championship. Inter Milan players are of course not to be outdone. After Cesar passed the ball to Mota, Mota keenly showed Etoo's retreat. He had cooperated with Etoo in Barcelona. Seeing Etoo's running position, he immediately passed the ball to Etoo's feet.
Etoo is a little bit unique in Inter Milan, but it is against other teams. He is fighting with Barcelona. He knows very well how powerful his old club is. After the ball comes, Etooo stops and passes it to Gao Xiaodong immediately, and runs forward by himself.
Gao Xiaodong was against Toure. Last time Barcelona beat Porto to a loss, Gao Xiaodong was sent off with a red card, which made Toure look a little contemptuous of Gao Xiaodong. When the ball was passed, Toure felt that he was tall and had long legs and wide defense area. He rushed behind Gao Xiaodong at the first time and prevented Gao Xiaodong from turning around.
Although Yaya Toure is 1.87 meters tall, his weight is two kilograms lighter than Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong turned his back to Toure, retreated instead of moving forward, and suddenly leaned against Toure's arms.
Touren was knocked back by Gao Xiaodong, and almost got out of breath. There was no way to make defensive moves. At this time, the ball just rolled in front of Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong easily pulled the ball and turned around and passed Touren.
In Barcelona, Toure is the first strong player in defense. When Barcelona saw Toure over, Gao Xiaodong and Toure collided with each other, they thought that the worst was just a foul. Unexpectedly, Toure did not do any defensive moves and was easily turned around and shook by Gao Xiaodong.
Barcelona players and fans were a little stunned. What's wrong with Yaya Toure? Gao Xiaodong shook over so easily, and at least he made a pulling move. There was a defense line behind him.
Mazzola, the host of "Sky Sports", is an Inter Milan celebrity. He understood and praised: "Xiaodong played so smartly! In addition, this power is invincible, and Toure was knocked back by him half a step."
Puyor knew that Gao Xiaodong's long shot was very powerful, so he rushed over to make up for defense.
Although Puyol saved very hard, Gao Xiaodong did not dare to deduct him. He had experienced it last season. Barcelona's defense was very fast. After he passed Puyol, the next defensive player would probably arrive. At that time, I'm afraid he would have to pass it back.
Gao Xiaodong has glasses and a wide field of vision. He saw Milito's position. At the same time, he also saw Puyol's center of gravity lowered in order to add steals. He decisively picked the ball and passed it to the space behind Puyol.
The two ribs in Barcelona's penalty area are the space for Inter Milan's two strikers Etoo and Milito to move. Gao Xiaodong's pass is exactly the position Milito is used to. However, Milito feels that Gao Xiaodong can't see his position and does not run in advance. When he sees Gao Xiaodong's pass and then runs, it is too late. Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes is not tall, but the range of movement is very large. He held the ball in his arms before Milito.
"ah!"
"pity!"
"Milito is one step faster."
...
Inter Milan fans sighed with regret. Facing the defending champion, there will definitely not be many such opportunities.
