Chapter 168 Where Has the Time Gone [15]

Monaco is clearly facing very big difficulties now.

Even though they had already anticipated the various situations they might encounter at Camp Nou.

But the fierceness of Barcelona's attack still caught the entire Monaco team off guard.

"Monaco may have to look at how PSG was beaten by Barcelona."

Omar said with a frown in the commentary booth.

Jardim came to the sidelines, he kept waving and calling out to the players on the field.

"Push out! Push out! Push the formation out!"

If the team's formation is compressed in the penalty area for a long time, losing the ball is almost foreseeable.

Sunshine did not go back to defend.

He stood near the center circle.

To be honest, he was also a little nervous, but he knew better that if he went back to defend the third zone and defend in the front area of the penalty area.

Then Barcelona will become even more unscrupulous.

Monaco needs to attack!
Any threatening attack could suppress Barcelona's offensive momentum.

The opportunity came quickly.

Iniesta's shot from the penalty area line was blocked by goalkeeper Subasic, who then stood up.

"here!"

The sun shouted.

The Croatian then quickly took a run-up and threw the ball to the sun.

"Stop him!!"

the commentator on Catalan TV exclaimed.

It was Pique who pounced on him from behind.

In the last round, the two sides fought.

Pique suffered symptoms of concussion due to the head-on collision with the sun.

This time, he held his breath and was determined to have another good fight with the sunlight.

Yangguang stretched out his foot to stop the ball.

He tried to turn around and found that Pique behind him had obviously been prepared for this.

However, Yang Guang did not continue to wait, but passed the ball back to B席 who came up to receive the ball, then pulled it horizontally, turned around, and moved forward.

At this time, B席 also passed the ball over.

Pique was always sticking to the sun, interfering and preventing him from speeding up.

However, he couldn't stop Yangguang from taking the ball. Yangguang passed the ball to him and made a diagonal pass to the left.

Mbappe made a high-speed run.

At the same time, Yangguang took the opportunity to wave his hand, opened Pique's hand on him, and took a step forward.

At the front of the penalty area, he received a cross from Mbappe.

Yangguang didn't stop the ball, he just swung his right foot and shot!
boom!
The loud noise made Pike, who had been following beside him, narrow his eyes.

But as a top central defender, he still made a defensive move at this time. At the moment when Yangguang shot, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it.

The defense at this moment is crucial.

Otherwise, the ball would definitely not have hit the post and gone out of the baseline.

Instead, it went into the goal.

Pique breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the ball fly out of the baseline.

Barcelona fans throughout the Camp Nou also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Catalan commentators who had been expecting Barcelona to score a goal, as well as nearly 100,000 Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou realized this.

The opponent they are facing is not a weak team without any ability to fight back!
Their Chinese striker will create a threat whenever he has the chance!

Barcelona's players are aware of this.

They all turned their heads to look towards the sunlight.

Just now.

Enrique on the sidelines roared: "Attack! Keep attacking! Don't hesitate!"

Barcelona players suddenly woke up.

Monaco's attack is certainly threatening.

However, they are now in a situation where they have no way to retreat.

They have to attack.

If they were to slow down their offensive momentum because they were afraid of Monaco's offensive.

Then the opponent will just boil the frog in warm water and kill it.

If Barcelona wants to turn the tables, there is only one way to go: attack!

"Don't focus on the opponent, let's continue to find ways to score goals!"

Iniesta shouted.

Other Barcelona players also encouraged each other.

A team that fights with all its might is terrifying.

Soon, Barcelona threatened Monaco's goal again.

The ball was passed from the wing to the right.

Rakitic took the ball on the right and took a step back.

After waiting for Busquets to come over and receive the ball, he passed it back to Busquets. Busquets made a horizontal pass, and Iniesta did not stop the ball while running. He did not even look up at the penalty area, but directly pushed the ball with his instep!
"Neymar!"

Amid the commentators' exclamations.

Neymar received the ball on the left rib.

Then he paused slightly, changed his rhythm, shook off Germersson and shot directly.

The football hit the junction of Germerson's shoulder and arm.

This is a very sensitive area.

really.

Neymar immediately raised his right hand and patted his arm.

"Handball! Handball!"

He shouted at the referee.

The referee of this game is the famous Italian referee Daniele Orsato.

Osato crossed his arms, then opened them.

Then he pointed to the corner flag area.

This is a corner kick, not a penalty kick.

The Catalan commentator was immediately furious: "This is a handball! Handball foul! Penalty! This should be a penalty for Barcelona!"

The entire Camp Nou was filled with boos.

The subsequent slow-motion replay on TV made most commentators believe that this was not enough to constitute a penalty.

"Jeremerson's arms were not open, and it is hard to say whether the ball hit the shoulder or the arm."

"This can't be a penalty." "If this ball is awarded a penalty, it will subvert the rules of football."

Barcelona players did not take a corner kick, but rushed to the referee Osato, thinking that his decision was wrong.

"That was a handball, absolutely a handball!"

Neymar said angrily.

How could he not know that he kicked it himself?
He just aimed at the hand and kicked.

Facing the attack from the Barcelona players, Osato kept a straight face.

"I will make my own judgment, this does not constitute a penalty!"

he shouted.

"You leave immediately, or I will take more severe measures."

Iniesta persuaded the Barcelona players to leave.

Barcelona's offensive momentum is very strong now, and he is worried that such an interruption will destroy the team's offensive momentum.

Iniesta's concerns are not without reason.

After this "suspected penalty" incident.

Although Barcelona's attack is still fierce.

But the kind of shooting opportunities that allow their players to face the goal head-on in the penalty area rarely appear.

Twenty-third minute of the game.

Messi passed the ball, Neymar shot from the left edge of the penalty area, and the ball went out of the far end.

Twenty-fifth minute of the game.

Suarez cooperated with Messi and Iniesta at the top of the penalty area, and finally got the ball near the penalty spot and forced a shot.

The football hit the defender and bounced out of the sideline.

In the 27th minute of the game, Messi's shot was blocked by the defender again.

Although Barcelona is still attacking.

But these opportunities are obviously not as good as those created at the beginning.

As the game time goes by.

The patience of Barcelona players in organizing the attack was gradually worn out.
They began to get impatient.

This also means that Monaco's attack began to take off.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Yang Guang tried to turn around and pass the opponent outside the penalty area but was tripped to the ground. He then used this free kick to shoot.

Ter Stegen made a thrilling save, lifting the ball and the ball hit the post and bounced back.

After the opening goal he hit the crossbar.

Now the sun was once again striking upon the uprights.

"The goal frame at Camp Nou is also on the home team's side!"

"This is Barcelona's best twelve!"

"Ahhhh!" The commentator of Catalan TV almost screamed. He seemed to have escaped death after seeing the football blocked by the post. "God is a Barcelona man!"

Barcelona fans in front of the TV also clenched their fists when they saw this scene.

The opponent's continuous offensive threats were blocked by the goal frame.

Does this indicate
This game.

Luck, is it on Barcelona's side?

As the Catalan TV commentator said
God, it's Barcelona!
"Goalpost!! Another goalpost!"

He Wei held his head in his hands.

"This is the second time Monaco has hit the post in this game"

He Wei had a bad feeling in his heart.

Luck is actually one of the factors that affect the outcome of a game.

If any of these two shots that hit the goal frame had bounced into the goal, Barcelona would have fallen into the abyss.

But it's a pity
These two threatening attacks ultimately failed to turn into goals.

And how many such opportunities can there be in a game?
In front of the TV, computer, or mobile phone screen.

Many Chinese fans frowned.

Many scenes of "classic battles" emerged in their minds.

The necessary condition for completing a major reversal: good luck.

From now on it seems.

Barcelona, playing at home, had good luck.
"The goalpost! Aaaaaah."

"What a pity!"

"If Monaco had scored first, the suspense of the game would have been killed."

"I'm so nervous, my palms are sweating."

"Fuck, it's been over thirty minutes already?"

“Time flies by so fast!”

"The first half of the game is almost over."

The pace of this offensive battle is very fast.

The fans only felt that the whistle for the start of the game had just sounded, and in the blink of an eye, more than 30 minutes had passed.
the time passes so fast!

The game time passed quickly as the two sides struggled.

As Yangguan's free kick hit the post, Monaco players began to become impatient.

Both sides are very anxious.

This manifested itself in the competition as the movements started to become bigger.

Thirty-nine minutes into the game.

Bakayoko made a flying tackle on Busquets and received a yellow card.

The 43rd minute of the game.

After Yangguang completed the turn, he was hugged by Mascherano around the waist, which was a tactical foul. Mascherano was also given a yellow card warning.

Just a few minutes.

A defensive player from each team received a yellow card.

The offensive threat of both teams began to decline as the game progressed.

But the intensity of the competition began to rise.

Until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Neither side has scored a goal yet.

The score was frozen at 0:0.

It has been 14 years since Monaco reached the Champions League final again.

Only sixty minutes.

There is time for Barcelona to create a miracle.

There is only one hour left.
