[Congratulations to the host for signing in Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and obtaining the skill of Beckham from famous Real Madrid--Banana Kick!]
Li Mingyu When he heard the referee blowing the game whistle, he also heard this exciting mechanical sound.
Beckham's Banana Kick can be said to be the most representative pass and free kick in world football.
No one dares to say that his free kicks are better than Beckham.
Beckham's free kick has brought the team back from the brink of death countless times.
At the time of Manchester United, Beckham's passing was known as, as long as you stretch your feet, as long as you stretch your head, you can score a goal.
As long as you run forward, the football will appear in front of you. All you need to do is stretch your feet and head, and scoring a goal is that easy.
Beckham's Banana Kick killed many famous generals.
After getting Knuckleball, he got Beckham and Banana Kick. This is really an unexpected surprise for Li Mingyu. Is this going to make him a free kick master and never return?
There are only five hat-tricks from free kicks in the history of football, including those that are doubtful. Adding Li Mingyu, there are only six.
But if he can complete two free kick hat tricks, then Li Mingyu will become the first person in the history of free kicks.
Speaking of the famous free kick masters in the football world, some people may say Beckham, Juninho, Mihajlovic, Roberto Carlos, Pirlo...
But the two strongest free kick masters currently in service are definitely Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
From his debut to now, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 55 free kicks, while Messi is only 3 fewer than Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two of them are the two most powerful free kick players currently active.
In the past ten years, the number of free kick goals scored by the two of them has greatly increased, and the goal rate has also greatly improved.
However, there is still a big gap between them and the number of free kick goals scored by Juninho and Beckham.
Juninho's 76 direct free kick goals top the list. I don't know when there will be another free kick master like this in football.
And Beckham, the number of 65 free kicks is not far behind.
Li Mingyu currently has only 4 free kick goals. Last season, he cooperated with Messi and scored one on a sneak attack.
However, after getting Banana Kick from Beckham, Li Mingyu's free kick goals will definitely increase in the future.
Real Madrid kicked off the ball first, and Haaland kicked the football backwards, like a cheetah, rushing towards the backcourt of Barcelona.
When Li Mingyu passed by him, Haaland's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Li Mingyu also glared over not to be outdone.
The two passed by each other.
This is Li Mingyu's first rain game. Last season, Spain's weather was not very good, but the strange thing is that on match day, the weather often becomes very good.
The pouring rain made Li Mingyu's sight somewhat blocked, but the ball at his feet was not as nimble as usual.
Moreover, Madrid's out-of-game move today was also very depressing. During the first half, Li Mingyu could clearly feel that although the turf in his own half was still a bit slippery, Santiago Bernabeu Stadium's good drainage system allowed the rainwater to drain away quickly from underneath.
But when he stepped into Real Madrid's half, he felt as if he was in a muddy field.
This is a very common off-discipline move on the football field, using the drainage facilities of your home court to make your own half of the field muddy, which will put the opponent's passing and offense into trouble.
It is conceivable that in the second half, Real Madrid will change the drainage facilities during the halftime break and switch the conditions of the two halves.
However, this is also part of their home field advantage, and you can only condemn them morally.
After all, Barcelona has done something like this in his home stadium.
Real Madrid's current lineup is more complete than last season. Luka Modric has been reused again this season, and his organization in the midfield has been recognized by Zidane.
Five league games, four assists, second only to Li Mingyu's five assists in the league.
The midfield organization between him and Isco is very harmonious.
Isco's results of one goal and two assists in the first five league games are also very good.
The double midfielders of Toni Kroos and Casemiro make Real Madrid's backcourt stronger.
After Casemiro caught the ball, he passed the ball to Luka Modric.
Luka Modric, who is 36 years old this year, is no longer as sharp as he was when he won World Cup. However, as he gets older and more sophisticated, his passing and controlling ability in the midfield becomes even more terrifying.
Li Mingyu stepped forward to press, but Luka Modric solved the problem with a very light one-two.
However, the speed at which Li Mingyu turned around and chased back surprised Luka Modric. He could only pass back again after catching the ball.
The last time El Clasico and Luka Modric sat on the bench and watched the entire game, watching helplessly as Li Mingyu was like a demon descending from the earth and slaughtering Real Madrid crazily.
Off the court, he deeply felt the vitality of this young man.
As soon as I came up today, I felt the strong pressure of Li Mingyu. It was very difficult to get past Li Mingyu in the midfield.
Li Mingyu has a very good feel for the ball, and he is very clear about what his opponent wants to do, and his super speed is enough to allow him to quickly make up for his position after being out of position.
Therefore, Li Mingyu is the first barrier for Barcelona in the midfield. With Li Mingyu, Busquets and De Jong behind will feel very relaxed to defend.
However, Real Madrid's midfielder is indeed very powerful, definitely not inferior to Barcelona's midfielder.
The kicking style of Real Madrid is very different from that of Barcelona. It has a domineering style.
Luka Modric caught the ball again and faked a move, causing Li Mingyu to guess the wrong direction and pass the ball to Isco in front.
It is obvious that after the halftime of Barcelona, the football becomes very easy to control.
The football rolls more naturally on the ground.
But this is not a good thing for Barcelona on the defensive side!
Isco's breakthrough on the right was very sharp, and he easily dodged De Jong's upward attack and rushed directly towards Barcelona's penalty area.
Alba's defense was very good. Facing Isco, an old acquaintance, he knew how powerful his opponent was, so his defense was never out of position.
Isco did not break through rashly, but made a feint and made a sudden cross, passing the football outside the penalty area in the middle.
At this time, a figure quickly rushed out from the penalty area.
Haaland had already stepped into the penalty area and made a fake move to rush forward, causing the two central defenders to quickly recover.
As a result, Haaland made a counter run, got rid of Barcelona's defense very handsomely, received the pass from Isco outside the penalty area, stopped the ball, and quickly turned 180 degrees to shoot directly.
The football directly penetrated the defense of the two defenders and went straight to the goal.
Fortunately, Ter Stegen reacted in time, and Haaland's kick was too straight. He directly raised the ball with both hands and lifted the football over the crossbar.
Because it was a rainy game, Ter Stegen did not dare to hold the ball directly with both hands, as it would be too easy to lose the ball.
This ball shocked the Barcelona players into a cold sweat.
Haaland is indeed worthy of its reputation.
Haaland also had a look of regret on his face after seeing the ball being thrown out, and roared loudly.
The fans in the audience also let out huge sighs of regret.
Just after the game started, Haaland used a powerful and heavy shot to test Ter Stegen and also expressed his attitude to Barcelona.
Real Madrid's corner kick was taken, and Pique jumped high and pushed the football out of the penalty area.
After Luka Modric on the outside caught the ball, he shot angrily. Haaland in the penalty area stepped on it with his foot. The ball changed its line, catching Ter Stegen by surprise. He watched helplessly as the football rolled into the goal.
Haaland excitedly pushed away the defensive players and came to the sidelines to celebrate.
But before he could be happy for two seconds, the referee's whistle sounded. What surprised him was that the referee raised his right hand high. This was not an effective gesture for scoring a goal.
This is the gesture for an indirect free kick.
Haaland Looked at the linesman again, and sure enough, the flag in the linesman's hand was also raised high.
In the previous goal, Haaland was in an offside position.
Haaland waved his arm fiercely in dissatisfaction, but he did not bother anymore because he knew that he was indeed offside.
But the other Real Madrid players were aggrieved and asked the referee to check VAR.
But the referee waved his hand very firmly and told them to disperse.
Because the lines referee and video referee's voices were heard in the referee's headset, it was indeed offside.
The Real Madrid players didn't bother too much because it was an indirect free kick. Barcelona took advantage of the Real Madrid players to surround the referee and quietly served the ball.
The players of Real Madrid were cursing and accusing Barcelona of not following martial ethics while quickly returning to defense.
Li Mingyu received a pass from Busquets near the midfield. In front of him, Griezmann and Pedri had already jumped in at high speed.
Li Mingyu didn't stick to the ball. With a flash of light in his mind, he directly kicked a long ball of about 35 meters. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed directly in front of Griezmann.
Griezmann stretched out his right foot and reluctantly took off the football, but because he had already run in front of the defender, he staggered and stopped the ball.
The field was slippery and very muddy. However, Li Mingyu's long pass was very smart, and the slippery and muddy ground could not stop him from passing the ball.
At this time, the players on both sides are the same, and the defensive players will not benefit from the slippery field. On the contrary, this kind of field makes their defense more difficult.
After stopping the ball, Griezmann didn't hesitate and fired directly. The football touched the ground, splashed a lot of water, and flew towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Courtois was very focused. After seeing Griezmann shoot, he quickly lowered his center of gravity, flew out, touched the football with his fingertips, and the football slightly missed the post.
Griezmann also hugged his head in disbelief. Courtois could pounce on such a ball. It was simply disappointing!
But Griezmann did not forget to turn around and give a thumbs up gesture to Li Mingyu. The pass just now was very comfortable in terms of placement and speed.
Li Mingyu also felt a little disappointed that the ball did not go in. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Griezmann's handling of the ball.
In this kind of rain battle, air balls should be played as much as possible. Ground balls will have too much water in the penalty area, so the speed of the football will be affected.
However, in the kick just now, Li Mingyu used some technical features of Banana Kick in the Beckham free kick, allowing the ball to fly in the air at a more arbitrary trajectory and speed.
The long pass just now also surprised many Barcelona fans.
Although Li Mingyu once passed a very beautiful long pass from this position, it was when Spain National Team.
Barcelona and Li Mingyu have never shown such a long pass, so everyone thought that that time was just a sudden inspiration of Li Mingyu.
But this kick fully proves that Li Mingyu is not only good at penetrating short passes, but can also master such precise long passes so skillfully, which is really amazing.
Moving to the midfielder position, Li Mingyu's attack power has not decreased, but has become more diverse.
Such a player who is both offensive and defensive, can pass the ball, and can shoot on his own is a nightmare for other teams.
Barcelona's corner kick chance.
Because of this shot, Griezmann hit the right hand side of the goalkeeper. After being saved, Barcelona won a corner kick on this side.
Pedri jogged all the way to the corner flag area, asked the ball boy for a football, and was about to take the corner kick.
However, what surprised him was that Li Mingyu ran over quickly from near the center circle, making gestures as he ran.
Pedri is a little confused. What does this mean? You also want to take the corner kick?
Generally speaking, Barcelona's free kicks are taken by Pedri and De Jong. Sometimes, Messi will also kick it.
When Pedri sees that Li Mingyu wants to kick, then he should give way quickly.
However, the Real Madrid players didn't know what was going on. They thought it was Barcelona preparing to take a tactical corner kick.
