Chapter 813 Volume [-]
It was Tang En's third visit to the Nou Camp, and the feeling was stronger than the previous two, because nearly [-] fans of the home team were booing the Forest team, and the momentum was huge.The last time he came, he did not receive such a warm welcome, and now it is all thanks to the Catalan media.
When the Barcelona players stepped into the stadium, the fans were still singing Barcelona's team anthem. At the climax, 8 people in the audience chanted "Barcelona! Barcelona! Barca!" They ran like a field, these people were uniform as if there was only one person, and they booed harshly.
"What a warm host." Tang En said with a smile.
Although the scene of 8 people booing together is really spectacular, it does not affect the players of Nottingham Forest.As the subordinates of this pesky Tony Twain, they were already used to being booed when they were away from home.It's just that there are more people and fewer people.If there are fewer people, the stadium is also small, and the sound has reverberation.If there are more people, the stadium will be bigger, and the sound will run out, so the side with more people will not have any advantage.
The players of Nottingham Forest may be weaker than Barcelona in other aspects, but in terms of psychological quality, they consider themselves second in the world, and no one dares to call it number one in the world.So amidst the thunderous boos, they remained calm.
George Wood and Puyol exchanged flags after shaking hands, then guessed coins.He beat Puyol and won the pick.In fact, Twain has always felt that the right to pick a side is not as important as the right to kick off, so every time he hopes that Wood will lose when he guesses the coin.
After the start of the game, Barcelona used the kick-off to launch an offensive, while Nottingham Forest shrank their defense.
"The game has just started, and Nottingham Forest is about to defend. The war of words before the game was so fierce, I thought Tony Twain would attack at the beginning of the game?" The TV commentator was quite critical of Twain's shrinking defense.
The commentator next to him laughed: "Barcelona has the ball, and Nottingham Forest wants to attack. How can they attack without the ball at their feet? If there are no accidents in this game, Nottingham Forest will still insist on defensive counterattack. Tony Twain is A smart guy who knows what happens when he plays against Barcelona at the Camp Nou."
"But can you defend it at the Camp Nou? I think if Barcelona is surrounded and attacked, it will be a matter of time before they are scored." The commentator also has his own opinion on this.
"You are right, if any team only thinks about attacking against Barcelona, ​​then it is normal for them to be scored. Conversely, if they only think about defense, it will be a matter of time. So Tony Twain didn't want to go to two extremes here, defensive counterattack is his magic weapon. I think if Barcelona can't score for a long time, the game will enter the track of Nottingham Forest."
Guardiola also understands this point. He knows that Tony Twain will play a defensive counterattack in the away game, so the key is whether he can prevent him from successfully defending.As long as the Forest team concedes the ball first, Tony Twain's defensive counterattack will be self-defeating.
The key to this game is not how strong the defense is, but whether the offense is sharp.
One of the best offensive lines in Europe today is also facing the best defensive line in today's football. The contest between spear and shield is not as exciting as people imagine.
Barcelona's attack met Nottingham Forest's tenacious stop outside the 30-meter area.George Wood and Thiago's defense is very solid, especially Wood, his tireless running can ensure that he appears where he is needed most.Both Xavi and Iniesta have had their fair share of trouble.
Iniesta got the ball and stopped outside to observe, and found that there was no suitable opportunity to pass the football in.It happened that Messi also discovered the same problem and withdrew to meet the midfielder, and Iniesta handed over the football to him.
Although Iniesta and Harvey are the brains of the team, Messi is much more popular than them.As soon as the little Argentine caught the ball, there was a huge cheer from the stadium stands.Everyone is waiting for his magical performance.
Barcelona's No. 10 is known as the new generation of football kings, last year's European Footballer, World Footballer, the double champion of the Champions Cup and the World Cup.When he stands in front of you, it seems that his whole body is glowing.Even if you don't do anything, you will become the most eye-catching target on the field.Then he passed Barnes easily.
The combination of speed and technology is perfect, just a simple feint and then dialed the ball to make Barnes do something wrong.Such a disparity is really discouraging—no, this is what ordinary people think. For the players of Nottingham Forest, if the opponent is too weak, they may be proud and underestimate the opponent, but if the opponent is too strong...they are even more excited!
Barnes was knocked to the ground, and when Messi was about to cut inside, Fernandez was already in front of him.The quick-responsive Messi quickly dialed the football to the outside, out of the way of Fernandez.When he evaded Fernandez's amateur defensive action with his excellent reflexes, he was entangled by Pepe again, and Barnes had rushed back to cover him from behind.
Messi, who was in deep siege, tried his best to protect the football, but he was kicked down from behind by Barnes who rushed up!
Barnes kicked Messi on the back of his right ankle, and Messi fell to the ground with a scream and clutched his ankle, seemingly in great pain.
Earth-shattering boos broke out in the stands.That momentum is enough to frighten the weak hearted to death.
Barcelona fans hate all fouls against Messi, because it is just killing the art of football, and it is also killing their football beliefs.
The referee's whistle was almost drowned out by the boos.Barnes reacted quickly, and immediately bent down to comfort Messi, showing his favor to the referee.But the commentator did not let him go easily: "The game had just started, and Messi was violated by Nottingham Forest players. This scene is so familiar. We have often seen such scenes recently. Barcelona is the most famous and the most powerful When Messi received countless honors, he also got the focus of the defenders. Barnes' foul was enough to get him a yellow card!"
The referee did not give Barnes a card, perhaps considering that the game had just started, he did not want to affect the excitement of the subsequent game.It seems that the referee from Italy is not an "iron judge", otherwise this yellow card will never be escaped.
Barcelona fans near the touchline were swearing at the foul Barnes in Catalan and English: "You bastard bastard! Coward who only kicks people's ankles!!"
"You savages of England! Football hooligans!!"
Barnes turned a deaf ear, seeing that the referee didn't play a card, but only gave a verbal warning, turned around and ran away after listening.
Messi looked in pain, which made Twain very happy off the field. He thought that Barnes' kick would make Messi go off the field.But soon he was disappointed - Messi groaned for a moment and stood up by himself...
Judging by the way he moved his ankle, it seems that nothing happened.
Tang En grinned, and said to Tang with some disappointment: "Let me just say, how could such a light kick be called that?"
Guardiola was very angry that the referee did not show Barnes a yellow card. He protested loudly on the sidelines until he summoned the fourth official for himself. At the request of the fourth official, he was honest.
"I'm wondering if Barnes' kick was accidental, or Tony Twain specifically requested it before the match..." the guest commentator said after seeing this scene.
"You can see it after reading it. But I bet that Tang En must have deliberately arranged this. He said that he can do whatever it takes to win, so how can it be possible to not use such a popular method of killing Messi?" the commentator said.
In fact, they blamed Tang En wrongly. He didn't ask the players to use rough foul and killing tactics against Messi before the game.He just told the players to strictly guard Messi, so after the players understood it, they found that it was difficult to prevent the football elf with conventional defense. The easiest and most effective way was naturally to foul.As for whether to kick the ankle or the knee, whether to bump or pull someone, it's just a formality.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Barnes could not be angry after being easily passed by Messi, and turned around to retaliate and kicked Messi down.

Messi did not reduce the number of times he took the ball because of the violation by Barnes. When the team couldn't start the situation, he would always actively retreat to ask for the ball, and then faced Barnes When the time comes, stick to one-on-one and pass the other side.Messi's activeness allowed Barcelona to focus on the right side of the offense, and Nottingham Forest's left side was under heavy defensive pressure. George Wood, Pepe and others began to consciously lean to this side.

At this moment, Iniesta, who was in charge of distributing the ball, did not continue to pass the football to Messi, but moved to the right and handed the football to Silva.
Compared with the heavily guarded left, Nottingham Forest's right is much empty.After Silva stopped the ball beautifully, he suddenly cut inside and went into the penalty area!
"Silva! This is Barcelona's chance! He tried to continue in the penalty area. Rafinha was defending him, but he didn't dare to take it easily...Breakthrough! It's done!"
Silva seized the opportunity that Rafinha was afraid to take easily, waded the football past him, and then kicked and swept the pass.The football rolls towards the goal quickly against the turf. Anyone who kicks such a ball may hit the goal.
Bo Yang grabbed the point in the crowd, but his push was blocked by Akinfeev who was in excellent position!
"Bo Yang shot! Oh, what a pity! Didn't go in!"
The football blocked by Akinfeev fell to Iniesta's feet. He took a long shot from Wood's close marking, but it was high.
In the following time, Barcelona completely suppressed Nottingham Forest.For a while, Nottingham Forest couldn't even counterattack, and the football couldn't even pass halftime.George Wood and Thiago's job is to keep grabbing the ball, grabbing the ball, grabbing the ball.
※ ※ ※
No. In the 204th minute, Tiago fouled Messi and finally got the first yellow card of the game.At that time, Messi suddenly switched to the middle and broke through Thiago head-on.Thiago, who turned around half a beat slower, in order to prevent Messi from breaking through, he could only stretch out his hands and drag Messi to the ground like wrestling.
For such an obvious foul, it is really unreasonable not to give a card.The referee took out a yellow card to warn Thiago, and the Barcelona fans still refused to let him go-they felt that the referee on duty in this game was too soft, and many of Nottingham Forest's fouls were just verbal warnings.For example, George Wood shoveled Iniesta from behind. After stealing the ball, the referee signaled no foul and the game continued!At that time, the overwhelming boos came to Wood and the referee.
After discovering this, the players of Nottingham Forest became bolder and stepped up their defensive actions.It wasn't until the 204th minute of the game that the referee showed the first yellow card of the game. It was Thiago who was right under the referee's nose, and there was nothing to say about the action of putting his hands on his waist... It's about to become wrestling, and if there are no more cards, I'm afraid the game will further become a no-limit fighting competition.
The referee's yellow card made Nottingham Forest's actions slightly restrained.But within a few minutes, when they realized that Barcelona's offense became active as soon as they restrained themselves, they immediately threw all the yellow card warnings out of the sky.
This time, when Messi dribbled the ball from the wing, he was directly pushed out of the court by Barnes and hit the billboard.The scene looked as visually stunning as if he had died.So the boos became louder in an instant.
The referee this time took out a yellow card from his pocket and gave it to Barnes.When Barnes saw that he had taken all his cards, he might as well stop pretending to be a good guy...So Messi didn't bother to pull, turned around and ran away.
In fact, Messi was not injured, he got up himself, and spread his hands helplessly.He has encountered this kind of treatment countless times, but it doesn't make him used to it.Seeing his vicious look, the defensive players wished they could break all the joints in his body.
Repeated violations against Barcelona's players made Nottingham Forest's image in the minds of Barcelona fans fall to the bottom.At the beginning of the game, the fans of the home team maintained basic courtesy to the visiting team.But after 10 minutes, as long as the Nottingham Forest players touch the ball on the field, they must be booed to "welcome" them.
Another thing that makes Barcelona fans feel anxious is that the game has been 10 minutes, and Barcelona's offensive is not insane. At the most dangerous time, Nottingham Forest's goal looks like a flat boat in a storm, and it may happen at any time. subversion.But despite this, the score on the big screen is still 0:0.
"Time flies. Before we knew it, 10 minutes had passed in the first half. But Barcelona didn't score. They had countless shots in these 10 minutes. It seemed that every time they could Breaking through the goal guarded by Akinfeev, but it backfired. Until now, they and Nottingham Forest are still 0:0! This is really embarrassing for Barcelona fans. The only thing to watch in these three 10 minutes may be Has Messi been knocked down again and again? I think he should change his jersey to play in the second half, otherwise we will not be able to tell his number..."
"However, the effect of Nottingham Forest's actions is obvious. Messi is heavily marked. Iniesta and Harvey have no better way to face Nottingham Forest's heavy troops in the middle. Because Messi is very active , Silva's side seemed a little deserted, while Bo Yang was completely submerged among the strong defenders of the Forest team... Tony Twain is really good at defense, Guardiola should think about how to deal with it. Maybe he should do something Adjustment? His offense is a little too dependent on Messi. Twain is obviously aiming at him, sending people to attack Messi in turn."
"The offense against Messi is uncomfortable to watch, but from the perspective of the Nottingham Forest manager, he has done a very successful job. It seems that Nottingham Forest seems to intend to get Messi off. So far, three people have been in the game. He received a yellow card. In fact, I don’t think Guardiola needs to adjust in a hurry. He waited until the second half. As Nottingham Forest players received more and more yellow cards on Messi and others, Nottingham Forest’s defense was natural There will be problems, and then it will be Barcelona's opportunity. Tony Twain will have the opportunity to pay for his actions..."
