Maritimo's crazy pressing made Barcelona very uncomfortable.

Especially, after holding on to such high intensity for 30 minutes, everyone in Barcelona looked full of collapse and despair.

Many old players are thinking of the 8:2 game a few years ago that they will never forget.

It was also in the Champions League quarterfinals. It was the same team that crushed its opponents with speed, strength, body, and impact. It was also caught by surprise by its opponents.

Initially, everyone was vaguely hoping that with such intensity, the opponent would not be able to hold on for long. However, after 30 minutes of game time, the opponent's intensity has not diminished at all. The more they play, the more they understand each other, and the more they play, the more confident they are.

Obviously, Maritimo is going to use this tactic throughout the game!

I don’t know if the opponent’s physical ability can hold him back.

However, now is not the time to worry about others. I don’t know whether my opponent can hold on or not. Anyway, I can’t hold on anymore!

I have to say it again, Barcelona's current passing and controlling is pseudo-passing, cross-passing, back-passing, too many meaningless passes, too few effective forward passes, large-scale transfers, and sharp scalpel passes.

Very rare.

This kind of pseudo-pass and control couldn't break Maritimo's bus in the last game, and it couldn't do anything with the high-position pressing in this game.

Especially the midfield organizer Pjanic, he showed his true qualities as the little prince of return passes. Under the crazy pressing of the opponent, the success rate of passing passes was extremely high, but all of them were return passes to the backcourt, which not only hindered the attack.

It's meaningless, and it brings the fight to one's own goal.

This also represents the mentality of many old Barcelona players, who do not seek merit, but seek no faults.

In the 35th minute, the ball once again came to the feet of Pjanic in the midfielder.

He felt that there was a defensive player behind him and was unable to turn around calmly, so he passed the ball back again.

Maritimo players have long seen through Pjanic's tactics and have been waiting in his path.

Coincidentally, this time Pjanic's pass back to Umtiti was not strong enough, and it was a sharp ball that required Umtiti and the offensive players to fight for it!

Umtiti faced the ball, but Ronaldo, who came out halfway, was faster. He did not choose to take the ball, but suddenly poked the ball forward, and the ball passed through Umtiti's crotch!

This dexterous poke, the steal and the dribble were completed at the same time, which fully reflects Ronaldo's ball sense and talent.

After passing Umtiti, Ronaldo passed Barcelona's defense and only took one step forward before entering the penalty area.

Facing Ter Stegen, Ronaldo blasted the ball into the top corner of the goal.

1:0!

Maritimo's high-position pressing tactics finally came to fruition!

Barcelona, ​​which was lagging behind, had no choice but to let Messi retreat again and play the role of organizer.

This time there is no need for Messi to ask for it, even Koeman arranged it this way.

Without him, there is really nothing we can do!

In Barcelona now, the only one who can stably organize the ball and is not afraid of pressing is Messi.

As for the lack of physical fitness or something like that, it is not something that should be considered now. Let’s find a way to survive first.

After Messi retreated, the situation became much better. At least there was a stable point to hold the ball.

To deal with Messi, Maritimo still adopts the wolf pack tactic. If one person can't guard you, he will join a group of people, chase and intercept him, and fight with all his strength. If there are too many ants, the elephant will be killed!

This situation lasted for another 30 minutes.

When the game entered the 70th minute, Barcelona finally collapsed.

Because they relied on Messi the most, their physical energy was exhausted.

Due to Maritimo's crazy high-position pressing, Messi consumed more energy in this game and entered the exhaustion period faster than in the previous game.

The Maritimo people are like a tireless perpetual motion machine, still pressing and oppressing crazily.

Where do they get their physical strength? Are they really tireless?

In the 73rd minute, under Maritimo's crazy pressing, Alba made a hasty clearance, but the ball hit Zhou Yong's chest.

The thick-skinned Zhou Yong fell to the ground, but the ball bounced at Ronaldo's feet.

J Luofu felt so excited that he kicked the ball directly outside the penalty area and the ball arced into the far corner of the goal.

Ronaldo scored twice and Maritimo expanded the score.

In the following games, Maritimo continued to play crazy output, beating Barcelona hard.

The whole world is amazed by the physical fitness of the Maritimo youth army.

You know, as a side that takes the initiative to press, Maritimo pays a much higher physical price than Barcelona.

As the game progresses, Messi's role becomes less and less obvious. Without physical support, no matter how outstanding his skills are, he cannot display them.

Like an angel with broken wings, falling into the mortal world, the great Messi can only lament the ruthlessness of the years. He is determined to kill the enemy, but he is unable to save himself!

But this time he didn't take the initiative to ask to leave.

Because he clearly knows that the current gap between the two teams, whether it is state, strength or score, cannot be changed by changing one or two people.

My journey to the Champions League this season is coming to an end, and with such an opponent, my desire to compete for the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or again in the twilight years of my career will eventually become a mirror image.

In this case, let yourself enjoy this last Champions League time!

At this stage of the game, Messi's mentality has completely changed. He has no power and no intention to win anymore. All he can do is enjoy the process of the game.

As the game approached the end, Maritimo's pressing and attacking became more and more crazy.

In the 87th and 91st minutes, Maritimo scored two consecutive goals through Ronaldo and Wang Zi.

Ronaldo scored a hat trick.

His wonderful performance made Florentino, who was specially invited to watch the game, overjoyed. Gao Yuan did not lie to himself, as expected J

Luo's value will increase again after playing in the Champions League!

Gao Yuan, this young man is so amazing!

We need to strengthen cooperation in the future. Otherwise, bring him to Real Madrid to succeed Zidane and build a new Galaxy battleship?!

Well, yes! Just do it!

However, he didn't know that there were many European wealthy families with the same idea.

In the end, Maritimo crushed his opponent at home, defeated Barcelona 6:1 in two rounds, and advanced to the top four of the Champions League.

In the post-match news interview, Sky Sports TV exclusively interviewed Messi.

Messi changed from his previous depression and anger after defeat, and unexpectedly accepted an interview with the TV station. His attitude was even more unbelievable and calm, and he even said a lot uncharacteristically:

"Regret? I have nothing to regret! I have won many Champions Leagues and six Ballon d'Ors. Originally, I really wanted to revisit my old dream in the twilight years of my career. But now my dream is shattered.

, however, I am very happy because I was recruited by a strong team

Defeated by a strong young team, they have all the conditions to become a great team. After the last game, the opponent's coach said something that impressed me deeply. Talents have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years.
Chapter completed!
