Chapter 134: Oltra's mistake
In the 57th minute of the game, Eibardo tackled Fabregas while tackled due to his physical fitness and deformed movements. �
He got a yellow card and fell to the ground because of cramps.
Ortra quickly replaced him and sent No. 6 Aitami.
Because Eibardo's foul was not in the penalty area, this is just Barcelona's direct free kick.
At this time, Messi and Iniesta walked towards the free throw point at the same time.
When Zhang Xu saw Messi and Iniesta constantly communicating with eyes, he guessed that the two should be discussing who will punish this free kick.
However, he couldn't tell who was the free throw, so he could only stand up with Bellellon's team.
Because he has the best bounce and excellent heading ability, Zhang Xu stood in the middle of the human wall.
Messi and Iniesta took a few steps back at the same time, and both looked like free kicks. Zhang Xu could not see any signs of free throws from their expressions, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
With a "beep", the referee signaled that he could make a free throw.
Iniesta and Messi looked at each other, started almost at the same time, and quickly walked towards football.
"It's Messi!" Zhang Xu suddenly saw Messi's eyes floating at the goal, while Iniesta was still staring at the football. He keenly realized that it was Messi's free throw, so he loudly reminded his teammates to focus on Messi.
As expected, when Iniesta came to the side of the football, he just flashed by and didn't touch the football at all.
Messi on the right followed closely, swung his left leg, and thrust hard on the back of the football!
With a "bang", the football flew up like a lightning bolt, drew a beautiful arc, instantly crossing the wall of people composed of Zhang Xu and his teammates, and flew quickly towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Zhang Xu jumped very high.
After the football crossed the wall, it fell very quickly. Alzubia had saved with all his strength. His arms extended almost blocked all angles of the football flying into the net.
However, Messi's shooting angle was very tricky, and the football hit the inner post and rebounded into the net!
The ball went in! 2:3! Messi successfully wore a hat at Riasso Stadium, helping the team score again 3:2!
Messi was extremely excited when he saw the football flying to score the goal net. He screamed wildly and ran to the south stands. This was his first hat trick this season, so it was understandable that he was so excited.
However, Zhang Xu was unhappy. On his own stadium, Messi actually made a hat-trick. This is really a shame for the team. Only by defeating Barcelona can this shame be washed away!
Zhang Xu looked at the Barcelona players celebrating wantonly, and was full of hatred.
In order to cleanse up the shame and to be able to defeat Barcelona, Zhang Xu once again increased his offense after the game resumed.
He was a long shot outside the penalty area, a header to grab the ball, and a threatening ball with Beller... In the last ten minutes later, Zhang Xu seemed very active. He frequently appeared in Barcelona's midfield and backcourt, causing Barcelona's midfield and backcourt to make Barcelona's midfield and backcourt a mess.
Zhang Xu's efforts finally gained something when the game was 68 minutes.
This was originally a Barcelona attack. After Messi received a pass from Fabregas and wanted to drive the ball over and shake Etami away, Zhang Xu suddenly stabbed the ball away by the tackle.
Aitami got the football easily. Without any hesitation, he passed it directly to Laurey to the right.
After Laure received the ball, he saw Zhang Xu climbing up, running towards the open space while signaling him to pass the football over.
Now La Coruna no longer resists Zhang Xu as the absolute core of the midfield, and all players have absolute trust in Zhang Xu. Laure is no exception. After seeing Zhang Xu wave, he immediately passed the football.
Zhang Xu was like a big foot when he rolled over and directly hung the football towards the frontcourt!
This is not a clearing ball, nor is it a very blind long pass and rushing, but Zhang Xu has shown that Barcelona has only one defender Alves who is behind to guard Richie, and the other defenders are pressing forward.
So, Zhang Xu's long pass! The football quickly crossed the center line, crossed the defenders in Barcelona, and just passed Ricci and Alves, and fell off.
Good ball! Beautiful long pass over the top!
The moment Ricky saw Zhang Xu's passing, he realized that this was a rare opportunity, so he immediately started, circled around Alves' side, and ran towards the penalty area quickly.
Alves seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he realized and quickly turned around and chased Ricky. However, this was so stunned that he suddenly left Ricky behind both positions.
The football fell down, and as soon as Ricky leaned his right foot, the football rolled forward smoothly. Ricky rushed a few steps and easily controlled the football under his feet.
Just kill!
When Valdes saw this situation, he could only abandon the door and approached like Ricky.
As an old player who has been fighting for many years, Ricky has long been familiar with this kind of single-player ball. Even if the opponent is a well-known goalkeeper, he has countless ways to shoot football into the net at this time.
Here, he only used one method, which was to directly take the ball cart!
When he approached Valdes, he knocked Valdes to the ground with a fake shot. Then he jumped over Valdes' outstretched hands, caught up with the football, and shot the football into the net with one kick!
The ball went in! 3:3! Zhang Xu scored a wonderful pass from Feixian from the sky, assisting Ricky to tie the score again!
"Ahhhhh!" Seeing Ricci fooling Valdes and shot the ball into the goal, Zhang Xu immediately roared to the sky. Then, countless fans followed Zhang Xu, shouting loudly and venting the joy in their hearts.
Messi looked at Zhang Xu who was screaming loudly and couldn't help but secretly admire the other party. The long pass just now was so beautiful. Not only did he master the timing very accurately, but his strength was just right.
No wonder he was able to become the core of the midfield in La Coruña. Just by passing the ball, it is enough to prove his strong strength!
Messi nodded and thought to himself: It seems that it is really not easy to win this game.
Messi was right. In the next game, Zhang Xu struck while the iron was hot and continued to launch a crazy attack on Barcelona.
In the 70th minute of the game, Captain Bellellon was finally exhausted and was replaced by Thomas. Zhang Xu put on the captain's armband again and became the team's number one core.
After Thomas came on the court, Zhang Xu's offense organized by the group became more active.
This is mainly because Thomas has just started playing and is full of energy. In addition, Thomas is originally a player with strong offensive **, which coincides with Zhang Xu's fast offensive routine, so La Coruna's attack power has been greatly enhanced.
In the 79th minute of the game, Zhang Xu received a pass from Marchena, and he immediately crossed the center line and advanced towards the frontcourt.
Fabregas and Iniesta attacked from left to right, and Zhang Xu had poor ball control ability, so he pushed him to Thomas in front without waiting for the two of them to get closer.
Thomas made two fake moves in a row and directly passed Busquets, and poked the football to Ricci before the opponent's Mascherano approached.
Ricky was held back by Alves and could not turn around at all, so she could only pass it back to Thomas. Thomas took the opportunity to pass the ball forward, passing the ball from the right side of Mascherano's body, and he went around from the left side of Mascherano.
The man-ball scored! Thomas is indeed bold. He actually played the man-ball scored game on the edge of the opponent's penalty area.
However, he succeeded this time. After bypassing Mascherano, he easily controlled the football, then aimed at the lower right corner of the goal and shot low!
The shooting angle was very tricky and he flew against the grass, so Valdes felt very uncomfortable when saving.
He completely crossed his body and couldn't even pounce on the football. He could only watch the football penetrate into the lower right corner of the goal!
The goal scored! Thomas, who had just appeared on the court, scored a wonderful goal!
La Coruna scored 4:3 inversely!
Seeing their team tenaciously reverse the score, the fans at Riaso Stadium went completely crazy. They jumped and jumped in the stands, shouted and sang, making the entire scene extremely lively.
There are only ten minutes left in the whole game! If the score can be maintained, the team will be able to defeat the powerful Barcelona, which is also a rare honor in La Liga!
At this time, the extremely excited Altra made a mistake. He came to the sidelines and asked the team to recycle some and strengthen the defense.
After seeing Ortra's gesture, Zhang Xu didn't agree very much.
In his opinion, strengthening the defense will inevitably weaken the team's offensive momentum, so that Barcelona can free up more energy to invest in the offense!
In ten minutes, if Barcelona attacks with all their strength, it will be difficult for the team to defend!
But head coach Oltra has made tactical arrangements and can only accept and implement them firmly. Otherwise, two different voices will appear on the team, and the situation will only become worse.
So, Zhang Xu directed the team to slow down the offense and began to slowly reclaim the entire formation, strengthening the team's defensive strength.
When Barcelona saw that A Coruna seemed to have the intention to give up the attack, they were immediately delighted: they can finally let go of the attack without any scruples!
Barcelona, which is attacking with all his strength, is indeed powerful. Zhang Xu and his teammates have tried their best to defend, but the goal is still like a small boat in a storm. No matter how you look at it, there is a danger of overturning.
Sure enough, in the 88th minute of the game, Messi was unable to break through Zhang Xu's defense and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area with a beautiful heel.
Here Fabregas arrived, and with a strong shot, he broke through the gate guarded by Alzubia!
Chapter completed!
