The Day I Played with Ronaldo - Chapter 626
Barcelona, which has a firm foothold, is gradually taking control of the rhythm.
QPR has been adhering to the “I-oriented” strategy for the past two seasons, and Simeone also places great emphasis on controlling the rhythm.
But in the face of rhythm master Barcelona, QPR is still a bit immature.
Simone had been standing on the sidelines, watching the game nervously, not knowing what he was planning.
In the ninth minute of the game, Messi cut inwards after taking the ball on the right side of the penalty area and suddenly sent a straight plug. Harvey took a direct shot near the penalty spot and missed it slightly.
Simone became nervous when he saw Messi break the ball, but fortunately the goal was not scored.
He finally understood the feelings of those opponents in the past. Presumably every time Ricardo takes the ball, the opponent’s head coach feels similarly.
Such a player is really the darling of heaven, and every second may make an unexpected move to change the situation on the court.
After 1 minute, Messi and Iniesta made a collision against the wall. Messi received the pass from Iniesta and pushed the ball into the penalty area. Villa took the ball in front of the small penalty area and was slightly slower. Did not hit the ball.
There was a depressive exclaim at Loftus Road.
Messi’s threat is too great.
QPR is not without power.
In the 13th minute, Neymar took a corner kick, Aldverelder headed the goal and almost broke the net.
2 minutes later, Ricardo took the free kick into the penalty area, Ronaldo grabbed a header and missed the goal.
1 minute later, Ricardo made the ball on the left and made a sudden inward cut. Then he passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area. Pogba shot the ball with a kick.
Subsequently, Barcelona organized an attack and Iniesta shot a long shot from the left side of the penalty area and missed it slightly.
The pace on the court is getting faster and faster, and the transition between offense and defense is dizzying.
In such a fast-paced game, Barcelona made almost no mistakes, which is the most terrifying. Their ball control ability has reached the height of art.
Simone looked at everything seriously.
Watching the video is different from the experience on the spot.
Only at the scene can we feel the pressure brought by Barcelona. It is the pressure that every inch of space on the court is squeezed by the opponent. It is the pressure that even feels difficult to breathe.
It’s hard to imagine that QPR hasn’t lost the ball yet, and it’s still playing well.
(We are strong). The thought came to Simone’s mind.
Stronger than I thought before.
It was only a slight downside to be able to deal with such a powerful Barcelona!
We are already one of the top teams in Europe!
Last season’s championship was not a fluke, and it’s no luck to be ranked second this season!
Simone was thinking of God, and QPR launched a fast break. Naingland turned the ball to the left. After Ricardo took the ball, he cut in quickly and quickly drilled into the penalty area.
No, Pique tripped over Ricardo before the penalty area.
“Pick fouled! QPR got a free kick in a very good position. It was a little to the left in the penalty area. It was Ricardo’s favorite position! Barcelona is in great trouble!
Ricardo and Ronaldo stood in front of the ball together, they discussed, waiting for Barcelona to set up a wall.
Under Valdes’s command, Barcelona players erratically set up a wall.
Although two people stood in front of the ball, everyone knew that the main penalty must be Ricardo.
The referee whistled.
Ronaldo started running up, and then he stepped over the ball. Ricardo also started running.
Sure enough, it was Ricardo!
However, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated and ran to the wall. Ricardo ran to the ball and pushed the ball forward.
Ronaldo half-turned without stopping the ball and volleyed!
Valdes struggled to save, but it didn’t work. Ronaldo’s shot was very heavy and went straight to the dead end!
“Ronaldo Goalllllll! Hero Ronaldo! This is an important goal worth a thousand bucks, and the game after QPR will be easier!”
“Brother, thank you for your assist. The route is very good. The intensity is just right.” Ronaldo ran to Ricardo.
“Congratulations, Dada, this is your 55th Champions League goal.”
“Are you greeting me?” Ronaldo laughed. “The best scorer in the history of the Champions League, the active player who scored 97 goals in 8 seasons?”
Ricardo smiled and didn’t speak.
After a short celebration, the game continued.
The mentality of Barcelona players does not seem to be affected at all, they still play their football methodically.
It seems that no matter what the score is, they cannot shake their football philosophy.
While Simeone did not shrink the team, QPR continued to perform high pressure.
“No, why doesn’t QPR play a defensive counterattack?” The commentator was puzzled. “Continue to play against Barcelona and QPR will wait to lose the ball. I think Simone’s thinking is wrong.”
Ricardo admits it.
If you want to win and you want to advance, the team should now shrink the defense and fight back.
But Simeone is not only looking at this season, but many seasons in the future.
The team must have the courage to play against the best team in the world!
Even if it pays the price of not being able to advance this season, it is worth it!
Although Ricardo disagreed, he supported Simeone’s idea.
In the 23rd minute, Messi sent a wonderful pass after getting rid of it. Iniesta shot at the edge of the penalty area. Handanovic saved the ball.
In the 26th minute, QPR made a fast break, and Ricardo suddenly moved the ball to the right wide range. Www.mtlnovel.com ~ Neymar sent a pass after a breakthrough. Ronaldo shot with a tiptoe. Bottom line.
Soon, Messi appeared to have suffered some injuries under Sandro’s defense, and his knees were bleeding.
The English commentator praised Sandro’s performance: “This teenager has become more and more mature this season. He has become the standing force of QPR, and the cooperation with Ricardo is also very skilled, becoming an important starting point for the team. And his defensive ability is second to none. In today’s game, he successfully defended Messi, which will greatly help shape his confidence. “
Messi went to the sidelines for treatment, Barcelona slowed the offensive and began to slowly control the ball in the midfield and back.
After QPR pressed for a few minutes, at the request of Simone, the formation shrank a bit to avoid exhausting the physical strength of the midfield and frontcourt players.
Barcelona was not in a hurry to attack, either side entering a relatively stable period.
But 35 minutes into the game, Barcelona suddenly speeded up again.
In the 37th minute, Iniesta skillfully scored the ball, Sanchez shot from the left and cut back, which was blocked by the defender.
In the 38th minute, Alves plugged in an assist and suddenly sent a sublime straight plug. Messi turned offside into the penalty area to get the ball.
Facing the last defender and goalkeeper, Messi was very calm, pulled the ball past Alderweireld, and then shot with a small angle on the left foot and rubbed the far corner.
Handanovic was too late to save, and could only watch football enter the net.
“Goallllll! Messi equalised for Barcelona! This is his 57th goal of the season and his personal 59th Champions League goal. His performance is crazy!”
