Football: Start 99 explosive, shocked Messi

After returning to the front line, the defensive tasks on Malone have decreased a lot.

This also allows him to use his speed more to impact the opponent's penalty area, rather than spending his physical energy on the return defense and the midfield grappling.

As a result, the defensive pressure on Juanfran has also increased significantly. It seems that he has made up his mind to fight Malone this way. Even if it switches back to the 433 formation, this time it is mainly Ma Long who is responsible for breaking through with the ball, rather than handing it over to Messi as usual,

and Ma Long chose to dribble to the box just after the second half of the game began.

Juan Fran did not dare to be careless in the face of Malone's breakthrough, he had already seen the other party's amazing starting speed.

After returning to the striker, Malone began to take the ball more often, and only by being close to the box could he better kill the opponent. Playing as a full-back in the first half largely limited his ability to break through, and I wonder what kind of play he can play after returning to the forward line in the second half? Facing

Juan Forlan one-on-one, Malone again chose to hold the ball from the edge of the box.

Messi and Suarez also started running offside to try to create a catch-up point for Malone in the box.

One step, two steps, Malone tried to use the rhythm change to change Juan Fran position, but the other party was experienced and was not deceived by Marlon's rhythm change.

Seeing the one-on-one breakthrough, there was no chance and Gabi had completed the return defense and blocked the space for himself to continue to cut inside the box.

So he chose to hand the ball back to Iniesta who inserted it from the midfield, and although the aging Iniesta's speed has dropped significantly, there are also many elderly veterans among the players of Atletico Madrid.

In addition, Iniesta only appeared in the 70th minute, full of physical energy, but he had a certain physical advantage when he came and went.

"Run to the side and pull the opposing team's defensive space apart so you have a chance."

Iniesta commanded with a wave of his hand.

Following Iniesta's instructions, Malone ran towards the wing, successfully forcing Gabi to pull out and defend himself.

Subsequently, Iniesta sent out a penetrating straight kick. And Malone also relied on his explosive power to throw off Gabi and complete the starting speed.

"Marlon! This time he has finished accelerating, can he get past Juan Fran?! "

Outside the Atletico Madrid penalty area, Malone, who finished the start, was given a one-on-one chance to face Juanfran .

Having completed the acceleration, he suppressed the elderly Juan Fran in terms of speed, and successfully opened the angle to continue to break through.

In a hurry, Juan Foran chose to bring Malone down with an elbow strike from outside the box.

"It was an unquestionable foul and Juanfran directly blocked Malone's possible attack."

Juanfran made such a move at such a time, which undoubtedly made the Barcelona players angry.

"You should give this guy a red card, he's broken through!"

"Dirty Point Madrid team!"

Faced with such a situation, it is naturally impossible for Raos not to play cards.

After confirmation, Raos finalized that Juanforan's foul occurred outside the box. This also led to a yellow card for a tactical foul and a side free kick awarded to Barcelona from outside the box.

'Juanfran chose to bring down Malone on the outside of the box, but unfortunately, if you take a few steps further, you can award a penalty directly in the box.

"Yes, it may not be a good choice to use a tactical foul to save the team's possible loss when there is no possibility of prevention at all."

This free kick was handed over to Messi, and it stands to reason that there is little hope of a direct shot from this angle, but to be on the safe side, Simeone still signaled that the team made a possibility of preventing a direct shot.

Barcelona's side, because of the lack of high points in the front, simply pushed the defenders Pique and Umtiti up. Standing in the opponent's restricted area as an option to grab the first point to create a threat.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Messi used his left foot to make a beautiful arc of the outside instep and the ball went high over the wall.

Suarez in the box jumped with all his might, but was still taken by Godin and headed away.

"Although the ball is cleared, it is not far away, and Barcelona still has the possibility of creating a threat!"

After the ball was cleared by Godin, it popped straight out of the box.

Alba, who was in ambush outside the box, caught up with the position and volleyed from distance.

The ball hit Gabi and was blocked again. While there was chaos in the penalty area, the tall Pique leaned on Gaya with his back. Turn around and then volley.

Although Oblak is very brave, he cannot make correct judgments when his vision is blocked.

In the 73rd minute, Barcelona equalised with a volley from defender Pique .

"Well done!"

After the referee confirmed that the goal was not offside, all the players in Barcelona cheered. All the team members rushed towards Pique in unison, hugging the tall man in the middle of the crowd.

"That's it, we're going to score another goal next!"

In the audience, Barcelona President Bartomeu also looked very excited and shook his fist excitedly to celebrate.

In this game, Simeone is not satisfied with a point.

After the equaliser, Atletico Madrid needed to re-attack, rather than ten people in a group as before.

In the 74th minute of the match, Carrasco's counterattack again created a threat. But as soon as he finished starting speed on the wing, he was put to the ground by Umtiti with a very fierce flying shovel.

After confirmation, although Umtiti's action was large, the first touch was the ball, which did not constitute a foul. Raos also just signaled to Umtiti to pay attention to the scale of the action, and there was no follow-up penalty.

Atletico Madrid fans were so upset with the decision that the entire home stadium erupted into boos, with some even calling the referee a piece of shit.

Although the players in the stadium were very angry, they were afraid of carrying cards on their backs and did not dare to speak ill of this "little princess".

Coach Simeone noticed that something seemed wrong after the collision, so he did not intend to take the risk, opting to replace Thomas Parteil with Carrasco, who performed well.

Although Thomas is not as threatening as Carrasco on the offensive end, his defensive role can help relieve the pressure of Gabi and Saul, who have exhausted their physical strength.

In the 79th minute of the match, the exhausted Angel Correa was replaced. Against Barca, the veteran Torres, who has always been brave, is once again on the lineup. Try the possibility of a final three-point attempt for Atletico Madrid.
