Chapter 692: Good start

The match between the Chinese team and the Maldives was played on September 8th. Atletico Madrid's home game against Barcelona was on September 12th. There was only a four-day difference between them. Considering the time spent on the road, in fact Not much time is left for Atletico Madrid.
Fortunately, this is also the same for Barcelona-they also have internationals from all over the world, especially those who play in South America, and they need to spend no less time than Gao Zheng on the road.
And Barcelona is still away this time, they have to cross 600 kilometers from Barcelona to Madrid.
But even so, both teams have produced the strongest lineup that can be eliminated.
Atletico Madrid's Gao Zheng naturally started, and Messi of Barcelona also appeared in the starting lineup.
Know that because of being recruited into the national team, Messi did not even participate in the training of Barcelona this week. But even so, Enrique put him in the starting lineup. This shows his dependence on Messi and its importance.
Enrique believes that even Messi like this is enough to help the team and is an indispensable person.
Facts proved that he was right.
Only three minutes into the opening, Messi passed on the right and the football was blocked by Atletico Madrid defender Jimenez. Barcelona has a corner kick, but... a penalty kick!
"Penalty?!" Jose Maria exclaimed. "Why... is it a penalty?"
The scene also followed by boos.
But the slow motion replay that followed allowed everyone to see clearly what happened between the electro-optical flints-Jimenez handed Messi's cross to the bottom line.
This of course requires a penalty kick.
"Jiménez is really..." Jose Maria sighed helplessly after watching the slow motion of the game.
Not only did he get a penalty from Barcelona, ​​but he also got a yellow card.
In the opening three minutes, he played a yellow card with his main center defender. How to play in the next game?
Every Atletico Madrid fan has a shadow on his mind.
"Continuous campaigns and running around do not seem to affect Messi's state. He was very active after the opening and successfully made a penalty!" The Catalan commentator was very excited.
※※※
Messi, who made the penalty, must have personally taken the penalty.
Two games have been played this season and Messi has not yet scored. This is very rare for Messi.
He didn't score a goal after two rounds of the last league start, and it still dates back to the 2007-2008 season. At that time, he only played in the fourth round of the league. He played twice in the first three rounds, and once did not enter the big list, he failed to score a goal.
At that time, Messi was not the core of Barcelona. He had scored ten goals in 28 league appearances that season. The Champions League played nine times and scored six goals.
Since then, he has scored at least one goal in the first two rounds of each season of the league.
Messi, who stood in front of the penalty spot, appeared very calm. After the referee blew his whistle, he approached the shot.
The football was shot by him towards the bottom left corner of the goal. Although Oblak judged the right direction, he was still unattainable for such a tricky shot.
Despite struggling to extend his arm, he still failed to touch the ball.
The football flew into the goal he guarded!
"Messi!!! Steady!!!" the Catalan commentator shouted. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Barcelona took the lead on the road! The game only started for three minutes, which is really a wonderful beginning!"
The entire Calderon stadium fell into silence.
This start was too bad for them...
※※※
The lead in three minutes gave Barcelona a boost in morale in the next game, constantly hitting the back line of Atletico Madrid.
Atlético Madrid is clearly at home, but is playing like an away game. In the face of Barcelona's aggressive offensive, it can only shrink the defense.
In the first fifteen minutes, basically Barcelona was attacking.
Atletico Madrid didn't get an offensive opportunity until the seventeenth minute-when Gretzman forced Mascherano in the frontcourt and intercepted the Argentine's ball, he gave the football to Gao Zheng. Gao Zheng took the ball into the penalty area and shot with a small angle from his left foot, above the crossbar.
This is the first shot of Atletico Madrid in this game.
But this shot did not reverse the passive situation facing Atletico Madrid.
In the next twenty-fifth minute, Barcelona got a corner kick. After Rakitic got out, Suarez headered the header before the header, Messi ran into the air at the latter point and shot directly!
Football hit the crossbar in the exclamation of Atletico Madrid fans.
"Atletico Madrid has escaped! But it's not good to be so old. Obviously Barcelona has the upper hand and continue to let them attack like this. I think it is a matter of time before the goal is lost..." Jose Maria said a lot Atletico Madrid fans must not like to listen, but he is right.
If you go on like this, Atletico Madrid is really dangerous. If you lose the ball again, you will lose in this game...
※※※
Barcelona fans are excitedly looking forward to a successful revenge-although none of the Barcelona players mentioned revenge before the game. But from the perspective of the game, these players don't mean that they don't want to take revenge, they just hold on to their achievements and don't want to talk about it before the game.
That’s what football is all about. You have to talk on your feet, but you still have to speak on your feet.
The winner is qualified to speak.
But just as Barcelona fans were full of anticipation for the team's successful revenge, there was an accident on the court.
In the 28th minute, Gao Zheng took the ball in the frontcourt. When he started to get rid of the defending Vermaelen, he accelerated out and Vermaelen struggled to keep up. But Gao Zheng came to an emergency stop.
It was this sudden stop change that caused Vermalen to strain his thigh while braking, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Gao Zheng took the opportunity to break through his defense. If Mascherano didn't make up for it in time, he would have to go directly into the penalty area.
Finally, under the interference of Mascherano, Gao Zheng's shot was saved by Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo.
But this is not important anymore, everyone's attention has been focused on the unwilling Vermaelen.
The Barcelona team doctor came on the field for the first time to check for Vermaelen, and then quickly came to a conclusion that the Dutch international can't persevere and must be replaced!
This really gave the up and coming Barcelona a great shot-because Pique was suspended from the Red Card in the Super Cup, this game was not even selected to the roster. The two central defenders sitting on the bench are the young Baltra and Mathieu.
Seeing that the team's momentum is just right, it is now forced to make substitutions and use a substitution spot early...
