Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 173 The Berlin Olympic Stadium Disaster? Barcelona's usual tricks strike!

"su!"

"su!!!"

"su!!!!"

The moment Su Hao rushed to the south stand.

Tens of thousands of Arsenal fans immediately surged toward Su Hao.

Even though they were surrounded by barbed wire!

Even with countless security personnel doing their utmost to stop them!

But they still prostrated themselves before their king with the most devout shouts!
Courtside.

Just like the incredibly excited Arsenal die-hard fans in the stands.

At that moment, the professor and all the coaching staff members embraced each other and roared passionately.

Less than half an hour into the game, they were leading by two goals!

This dream start has given everyone at Arsenal, including the professor, a glimpse of the trophy in their hands not far off.

Of course, while all the Arsenal fans were incredibly excited, on the other side of the Barcelona bench, Enrique was frowning and pacing back and forth anxiously, pondering a solution.

Yes!

Enrique was already starting to regret his tactical arrangements.

He originally thought that starting the experienced Xavi would help the team revitalize its offense and defense.

But the result?
Having lost his former ability to run endlessly and mark closely, Xavi's arrival not only failed to revitalize the team's attack, but also allowed Arsenal to completely overwhelm the central defense.

However, it is clear that Xavi is already one of the team's hidden dangers.

However, Enrique still held a sliver of hope that Xavi, the greatest soul and core player in Barcelona's history, could deliver a shining performance in his farewell match for the club.

Even if only once!
After the celebrations ended, the game quickly resumed.

Trailing by 2 goals!
Barcelona launched a fierce attack on Arsenal's half immediately after the whistle blew.

Because Messi was surrounded by a large number of defenders, Xavi began to continuously feed the ball to Neymar on the left wing.

The 29th minute of the game.

Xavi and Iniesta exchanged several short passes near the center circle, successfully breaking free from the three-man encirclement of Suarez, Sanchez, and Lewandowski.

Messi suddenly started moving on the right wing, drawing Kante away, while Xavi, who was carrying the ball, saw the direction Messi was moving and suddenly kicked the ball with a no-look pass, sending it to Neymar on the left.

He controlled the ball with his right foot and simultaneously turned sideways to start moving.

This brief pause and subsequent movement cleanly and effortlessly brushed past Walker, who was coming right up to her.

"That was a beautiful pass!"

"Neymar's technique is simply unbeatable!"

"Neymar!"

"We went straight in!"

"Van Dyke, come here!"

Instead of continuing to dribble past his opponent, he flicked the ball towards Suarez in the middle with the outside of his right foot!

"Danger!!!"

Huang Jianxiang, in the commentary booth, let out a terrified shout.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Barcelona fans in the stands, who had been silent for a long time, all jumped up.

They clenched their fists, waiting for Suarez's final shot!
"Suarez!"

"Shot into the far corner with your right foot!"

"This ball."

"We have the ball!"

"The match is in its 30th minute!"

Barcelona have pulled one back!

"Xavi's deadly diagonal pass from midfield, Neymar bursts into the penalty area and passes the ball to Suarez who is following up in the middle!"

"1:2!"

"The suspense of the game is back!"

"Harvey!"

"This Nolookpass is absolutely fatal!"

"Kante was marking Messi on the right wing, and Walker couldn't contain Neymar!"

"Harvey + MSN!"
-
[Damn, I kept saying Xavi was too old and should retire, sorry! I was wrong, Xavi is still Xavi, that pass was absolutely divine!]
-
[Haha, this is Barcelona, ​​our beloved Barcelona! 1-2, there's definitely still a chance! Neymar is on the rise, waiting for Messi to descend like a god!]
-
[Ugh, what the hell happened? We just got scored on without even realizing it. I was thinking we could pop the champagne at halftime if they scored another one, and then that idiot Suarez scored on us.]
-
[It's alright, it's only been thirty minutes, there's still plenty of time. Our Su Hao hasn't even unleashed his full potential yet. I have a feeling he might score a hat-trick today! A hat-trick in the Champions League final, another incredible record that no one can surpass!]

Barcelona pulled one back decisively.

And seemingly to demonstrate his team's determination to win, Suarez, after scoring the goal, didn't even celebrate. He ran straight into the goal, picked up the ball, and quickly returned to his own half.

"Kyle! Trust yourself, you can keep up with that guy, don't kick blindly."

The entire Barcelona team quickly retreated, and Su Hao took the opportunity to encourage Walker.

Su Hao wasn't surprised that Barcelona scored such a goal, after all, this Barcelona team now has the complete MSN trio.

The game resumed very quickly.

After pulling one back, the entire Barcelona team was naturally in high spirits.

Under Xavi's leadership, for the next ten minutes or so of the first half...

Barcelona showcased their attacking prowess to the fullest.

The 36th minute of the game.

It was still Xavi and Iniesta, plus Busquets who made a run forward, all clashing in the middle with a dreamlike combination of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets.

This time, Iniesta delivered a superb lob pass to Messi, who suddenly surged into the penalty area.

The ball passed Koscielny and appeared in front of Messi.

Before the ball even hit the ground, Messi raised his right foot, intending to shoot directly!
Just when all Arsenal fans were on tenterhooks, Kante, who had been relentlessly following Messi, played the role of Arsenal's god.

A textbook sliding tackle block.

Kante transformed his body into a wall of sighs, blocking Messi's path.

Messi's shot collided with Kanté and went out of bounds, Arsenal escaped a close call!
The 43th minute of the game.

As the first half was about to end!
This time it became Messi's own personal masterpiece.

Starting with the ball near the center circle, Messi began his individual breakthrough mode in his most familiar Messi Corridor.

First, he used a shoulder drop and change of direction to get past Lewandowski, then he made a sudden stop and Xavi's magical spin to shake off his national team teammate Di Maria.

He dribbled past two players in a row, a truly amazing start that naturally made tens of thousands of Barcelona fans in the stands shout with excitement.

Amidst the frenzied shouts, Messi accelerated even further, plunging alone into Arsenal's midfield heart.

Seeing that Messi was about to go berserk, Su Hao naturally pointed to Ta Zi to go and cover Xavi's side, and then strode over there himself.

Su Hao charged forward with great determination, but the problem is that with his current defensive attributes of over 70, he has no problem defending against ordinary players, but how can he defend against a monster like Messi?
Almost instantly!

Su Hao was then left behind by Messi's second change of direction.

Moreover, right after getting past Su Hao, Messi, without waiting for Kante to pounce again, raised his left leg and slammed his left foot into the lower left edge of the ball.

"Break!"

A loud scraping sound rang out.

The ball at Messi's feet immediately soared into the air, drawing a dreamlike arc over Arsenal's penalty area.

"Messi!"

"Start with a curling shot from your most comfortable position!"

"This ball."

"We have the ball!"

"The match is in its 43th minute!"

"Barcelona has equalized!"

"Leo Messi!"

"He stepped up when Barcelona needed him most!"

"A signature chip shot!"

"2:2!"

"The two teams are back to square one!"

Zhan Jun, the commentator, sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, at the Berlin Olympic Stadium at the same time.

After holding back for a full half, the Barcelona players finally went completely wild.

Tens of thousands of fans roared the name of their god with all their might.

"Messi!"

"Messi!!"

"Messi!!!"

Messi, on the field, excitedly sprinted towards the sidelines the moment the referee blew his whistle.

Behind him were Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar, and Busquets.
All the Barcelona players rushed over.

However, the most interesting one is Suarez.

Messi scored the goal, but Suarez, for some reason, winked at Su Hao and made a provocative face as he passed by.

Upon seeing this expression, Su Hao was so angry that he almost went up and punched Su Ya twice right then and there.

2-2! The first half has ended.

A score that no one expected.

Arsenal conceded two goals to Barcelona after leading by two goals.

Messi's goal, especially in the forty-odd minutes, truly sent the Arsenal players' morale plummeting to rock bottom.

"Young men! Hold your heads high, you're already good enough!"

Seeing his disciples looking dejected, the professor naturally tried to encourage them.

"It's still a minor issue with the mid-lane defense!"

"Kanté, you...you kicked too cleanly! Don't even think about it."

"Su!"

I want you to be more aggressive!

"We didn't put enough defensive pressure on them in midfield!"

"."

The professor busily began arranging tactics for the second half.

And not far away, in the Barcelona dressing room.

While Enrique was rambling on about what to watch out for in the second half, Suarez was grinning with his big white teeth, hugging Messi and licking Messi's goal repeatedly.

When he got excited, Suarez even shared with Messi and others how he had mocked Su Hao.

Upon hearing that Suarez had secretly pulled this stunt, Busquets, who had been listening to the tactics, immediately turned his head.

There's no way around it; if we had to pick someone in this Barcelona team who hates Su Hao the most, it would be impossible to choose.

Busquets is definitely number one!
The fifteen-minute halftime break ended just like that.

The match restarted with the referee's whistle.

Enrique remained cautious on Barcelona's side and did not make any substitutions.

Arsenal also fielded the same squad.

However, Messi's last-minute goal and the blow to Arsenal's morale meant that the second half was in Barcelona's rhythm from the very beginning.

However, just as Xavi and Iniesta were thinking of continuing to play what they called TIKITAKA.

Arsenal, who were criticized by the professor for playing too cleanly, suddenly increased their intensity.

Lewandowski!

The instant Xavi received the ball, Lewandowski didn't hesitate to collide with him and kicked Xavi's ankle with his right foot without holding back.

Although Lewandowski's foot looked like it was heading towards the ball, the moment Xavi screamed and lay on the grass clutching his right foot, the referee hurriedly blew his whistle and pulled out a yellow card.

Unsurprisingly, the referee was almost instantly surrounded by a large group of Barcelona players.

"Referee, that's a red card! It's definitely a red card offense!"

"That Pole was committing murder!"

"Mr. Referee, I've decided you can change the yellow card to a red one!"

A bunch of people were chattering and begging the referee to send Lewandowski off.

But if the referee felt he had gone too far with just one yellow card, how could he possibly listen to the demands of the Barcelona players?

Lewandowski received a yellow card.

It was from this yellow card that the game became intermittent.

Of course, while disrupting Barcelona's rhythm, Barcelona's attacking threat also decreased.

Gradually, Arsenal began to gain a slight advantage in positional attacks.

The 56th minute of the game.

Kant finally understood what the professor meant by his instructions.

Just as Messi was about to dribble past him, Kante didn't hesitate to kick Messi in return.

However, Kante is not Pepe.

His tackle was clearly aimed at the ball.

Therefore, the referee simply stopped the game and did not give Kanté any punishment.

Barcelona's free kick went wide of the stands without posing a threat.

Szczesny, who quickly launched the ball, successfully delivered it to Su Hao's head.

A transition!
Di Maria received the ball on the left wing, and after a dreamlike dribble past two defenders, the angel sent the ball into the penalty area.

Su Hao leaped high, overpowering Pique and heading the ball toward Barcelona's goal.

However, it was a little unfortunate that although Su Hao's header passed Ter Stegen's ten fingers, it ultimately hit the crossbar and went out of bounds.

Arsenal missed their best chance to take the lead again.

"That was a bit of a pity!"

"But the professor's halftime adjustment was indeed very insightful!"

"After increasing their intensity and breaking down Barcelona's attack, Arsenal are showing signs of scoring again."

"Yes, that's right, Teacher Huang!"

"The reason we conceded two goals in the first half was because our central defense failed to put enough pressure on Barcelona, ​​which gave Xavi such a good opportunity to pass the ball through!"

"Since the start of the second half, Arsenal has increased their defensive intensity, and not only Xavi, but also Iniesta has lost contact with the attacking third."

"If they continue like this, I believe Arsenal will definitely be the ones laughing last!"

"Haha, LeBron, when did you become like me?"

Lao Huang and Zhan Jun in the commentary booth started joking.

Similarly, the cheers from the Arsenal fans in the stands gradually drowned out the arrogant Barcelona players.

With the situation looking much better again, these excited Arsenal fans have once again begun to fantasize about the dream moment when they will lift the trophy for Arsenal's first-ever Champions League title.

However.
It's like the calm before the storm.

Just when everyone at Arsenal, including Wenger on the sidelines, calmed down.

The moment that sent the mood of all Arsenal fans, including Wenger, plummeting to rock bottom has arrived!
59th minute of the match!

Sanchez, steadfastly implementing his tactics to disrupt Barcelona's attacking rhythm, has made his move!

Neymar is lying on the grass.

Sanchez's departure from Barcelona was largely due to Neymar's arrival.

Therefore, Sanchez, who already disliked Neymar, naturally did not hesitate to place his first kill on Neymar after receiving the professor's request to increase the intensity of the attack.

However, what Sanchez did not expect was...
He shoveled it down.

Neymar, like a kite with a broken string, started spinning wildly from the sidelines, as if he were tearing apart a crocodile's prey.

"Ahhhh!"

"what!!"

1 lap!
2 lap!
3 lap!
4 lap!
To Sanchez's astonishment, Neymar clutched his right leg, screaming as he spun around four times in a dramatic fashion.

Sanchez was dumbfounded!

But what confused him even more was yet to come!

The referee actually pulled a bright red card out of his pocket as he ran towards him.

this.
Is this what you want?
Sanchez's mind went blank.

"oops!!!"

"This is a problem!"

A red card?

"Is it a red card?"

"What the referee pulled out was..."

Old Huang in the commentary booth seemed a little startled and started bombarding the audience with questions.

Similarly, it happened not far from the Arsenal bench where Sanchez tackled the player.

Upon seeing the red card, the professor rushed towards Sanchez like a madman.

He saw Sanchez's tackle very clearly. Although it was a foul, Sanchez's action was not a red card offense at all. It wasn't a powerful tackle from behind; he just brought Neymar down while making a tackle from the side!
"Mr. Referee, it's me...he..."

No miracles occurred.

Upon arriving at the scene, the referee immediately showed Sanchez a red card and pointed to the players' tunnel, indicating that Sanchez should leave the field.

"Red card!"

"It really is a red card!"

"The match is in its 60th minute!"

"A highly controversial scene has unfolded!"

"Just like Arsenal's first ever appearance in the Champions League final!"

Arsenal have a player sent off!

"The last time was when Lehmann was sent off less than a minute into the game, and today it was in the 60th minute when Arsenal's right-wing general and former Barcelona player Sanchez was sent off."

"There are still a full thirty minutes left!"

Arsenal will be playing with one less player!

The two teams are currently tied.

"This"
-
[Holy crap! Holy crap! I knew it, I knew this kind of plot would happen! That damn Barcelona is putting on an act again! Look at Neymar's death roll, and Sanchez's kick—was that some kind of explosive finishing move? It's so powerful!]
-
[It was definitely a bit staged, Neymar's dive was ridiculous, but Sanchez did kick Neymar, so the red card was a bit too much!]
-
[Damn it, this is the Champions League final! How dare you make such a ruling? Did this idiot take a bribe, or did UEFA bribe the referee again?]
-
[Haha, it seems the Stamford Bridge tragedy is about to continue, followed by the Berlin Olympic disaster? Is Arsenal's first ever title going to be stolen by the referee?]
-
[Damn it, look at Neymar trying not to laugh, and Busquets too! These Barcelona bastards are truly disgusting!]
