Chapter 359 Waiting for a miracle

In fact, Barcelona's situation is not as bad as people think.

Even if Atletico Madrid equalizes the total score, Barcelona actually only needs one goal to break this balance.

They scored a goal, with a total score of 4:3 ahead of Atletico Madrid, and there was also an away goal, which means that even if Atletico Madrid scored another goal, it would be useless to equalize the total score again. In the case of the same point, Barcelona will eliminate Atletico Madrid by the away goal advantage.

So if Barcelona players can calm down, regain their strength, and use their offensive firepower to achieve this goal.

But unfortunately, the Barcelona players seemed to be scared... They didn't think at all that they were actually stepping on the solid ground, thinking that half of their feet was hanging in the air and were on the edge of a cliff.

The Catalonian commentator kept reminding Barcelona players of this, but unfortunately his voice in the commentary seat could not be heard in the ears of Barcelona players.

We all understand the principle that Barcelona fans are even more depressed, but why don’t the players on the court understand?

In fact, they ignore that people are in an extremely tense environment. Under huge pressure, their brains will indeed become dull, not to mention that when their physical energy is almost exhausted, their brains will become rusted and basically stop operating.

Therefore, those players who can remain calm in this situation and score only goals are so valuable. They are praised by countless people as "key gentlemen". Since everyone is so popular with such players, at least it means that not many people can do such things, and it is very, very difficult to do such things.

Messi is highly expected and he has done such a thing in the game.

But this time, he disappointed.

Just like after the first round of the two sides, some famous expert reporters criticized Gao Zheng for not showing convincing performance in the game.

It's Messi's turn to be the ones who are under criticism now.

※※※

The most decisive Barcelona fans have not given up their hopes, and they are still looking forward to a miracle that will happen in the last moment.

Also waiting for the miracle are Atletico Madrid fans.

Although the team has tied the total score, this does not allow Atletico Madrid to advance, they still need a goal.

The real miracle, as Gao Zheng said, is a 4:0 game, not 3:0.

The game has entered its 80th minute, and there are ten minutes left before the ninety minutes of the game ends.

If no one can score in these ten minutes, the game will be dragged into overtime.

At this time, Barcelona should have been attacking desperately, striving to kill the game with a away goal.

But at this moment, they hesitated.

Should I take a risk attack and let the opponent score a goal before scoring his own goal? Or should I choose a safe way of playing, defend until the end, and then play overtime with Atletico Madrid?

Enrique was also in hesitation.

In his opinion, the first thought was very attractive, but it was like a devil's fruit. It looked bright and beautiful, smelled tempting, but it was highly poisonous and could kill it on the spot with a bite.

After all, the battle can be resolved in ninety minutes, who doesn’t want to? But what if you put the team in the face of this and cause the goal to be lost?

In the last ten minutes, Atletico Madrid will definitely attack wildly and strive to score goals, and they may even want to score more than Barcelona.

After all, they don't want to choose the second option and play extra time.

They don't have the physical strength anymore.

If you play overtime for another half an hour, they may be the ones who collapsed by then.

Just like the 2013-2014 Champions League final, Atletico Madrid's performance in overtime was completely different from their performance in the 90-minute regular season, and was completely different from their teams.

If the enemy doesn’t want to choose which one, then I will definitely choose which one!

So Enrique no longer hesitated and made his own choice. He made the team safer and not rush to attack. He defended the last ten minutes of the game and tried to put Atletico Madrid on the spot in overtime.

※※※

Atletico Madrid players keenly noticed Barcelona's contraction and retreat, but they did not dare to put in a big push, and they were worried that Barcelona would lure the enemy deeper, and after they pressed on the attack, they would suddenly hit them and counterattack.

After all, Messi and Neymar both have the ability to counterattack.

However, after two minutes of testing, it was found that Barcelona really shrank their defense, and seemed to want to defend until overtime.

So Atletico Madrid strengthened its offensive and began to siege Barcelona's penalty area.

At this time, they no longer think about being empty and other things behind them. If they can’t do anything to the end of this time, then don’t think about creating miracles.

A miracle must only happen after doing something to the extreme.

For example...attack!

"Cocke's long shot! It's a little worse!"

"Gao Zheng turned around and played a two-pass and one-slamming wall-like cooperation with his teammates. Oh! The football was stabbed by Pique before the shot!"

"Carrasco made a cross from the wing! Gabby headed the ball...it was high!"

...

Atletico Madrid's offensive was thriving, which made Barcelona feel tremendous pressure.

But at the same time, the game has reached its 85th minute, and it is only a few minutes before overtime.

Enrique, who was standing on the sidelines, saw hope.

At this time, everyone realized that Barcelona wanted to drag the game into overtime, hoping to use their physical advantages to drag Barcelona down.

No one could sit and watch the football honestly, whether in the stands at Calderon Stadium or in front of the TV.

Everyone stood up and stared nervously at the field.

"Will a miracle... happen?" Jose Maria asked softly.

He didn't dare to yell, as if he was afraid of scaring away the goddess of luck...

"One more ball, another ball, another ball..." Xiao Yingying clasped her hands together and muttered in a low voice.

At this time, she and Sister Feng were standing in front of the TV to watch the football, and they really couldn't sit still.

Her body was even shaking slightly.

Feng Shiyao was also very nervous. Although she was not as nervous as Xiao Yingying, she pressed her lips tightly, and without realizing it, her lower lip was bitten white...

※※※

Atletico Madrid once again organized an offensive on the wing, and Barcelona laid heavy troops in the middle and in the penalty area, so Atletico Madrid's offense could only go to two sides.

This is already a bit of a desperate gamble. After all, the efficiency of crossing on the side is relatively low, but it is simple. You can fight such an offensive many times in unit time.

Blanco held his hands tightly in the media table to cheer Barcelona up: "They have no choice but to do it! You can only do this, come on! Hold on!!"

Madrid and Chinese journalists didn't bother to glar at Blanco at this time, and they were also staring at the stadium nervously, staring at Barcelona's penalty area.

Some people are anxious and always feel that they should not pass so directly. The efficiency is too low and there is no point in apart from wasting opportunities. Once Barcelona gets the ball, they can use their skillful pass control to delay time and consume the last few minutes.

They think Atletico Madrid should be more patient and give the football to Gao Zheng and let Gao Zheng attack.

And where is Gao Zheng now?

Gao Zheng seemed to have become a standing center in Barcelona's penalty area, carrying Pique while waiting for his teammates to pass the ball.
