After Llorente wiped Lenglet, he directly entered the penalty area and cut in from the sideline, swinging the angle of the shot.
Pique didn't care about Ibrahimovic beside him, and rushed forward to block the opponent's shot.
When Pique rushed forward, Llorente changed his ankle movements and used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the football to Ibrahimovic in the middle.
Ibrahimovic's running position was slightly forward, and the football passed behind Ibrahimovic.
Bad pass!
Before Li Mingyu, who was about to catch up with Ibrahimovic, was happy, he saw Ibrahimovic leaning forward suddenly, his right foot suddenly hooked back, and like a hunting scorpion, he hit the football with his scarlet poisonous needle.
The football took a weird route and headed directly towards Barcelona's goal.
Ter Stegen stood there, like a statue, staring blankly at the ball, grazing the goal posts and getting into the net.
Scorpion Kick, Ibrahimovic's special skills.
Li Mingyu saw this artistic shot at close range, and sincerely had a deep respect for Ibrahimovic.
After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic clenched his fists tightly and roared loudly.
Being able to score goals against Barcelona is what Ibrahimovic likes to do the most.
The fans at the scene were also silenced by this amazing goal, but after seeing Ibrahimovic's provocative celebration, they also kept booing loudly.
Although Ibrahimovic stayed with Barcelona for one year, neither he nor the fans thought that he was once a member of Barcelona.
However, Ibrahimovic doesn't care at all about the boos from Barcelona fans. Having been in the football world for decades, these little boos are a common occurrence for him.
1:1 draw, Great Fengxian Ibrahimovic used his special skill Scorpion Kick to equalize the score for Atletico Madrid.
Kick-off from the center circle.
Barcelona's offense became more cautious. The opponent was caught off guard just now. The recklessness of full-back Alba caused the team to suffer heavy losses.
Li Mingyu steadily organized the game in the midfield, passing the ball continuously, making Atletico Madrid's players keep running with the ball, slowly consuming their physical strength and defensive patience.
At the 45th minute, the fourth official raised the sign in his hand, which indicated that there would be one minute of stoppage time in the first half. Since there were not many pauses in the first half, there was not much stoppage time.
Usually this is the time when the team is most relaxed.
After Li Mingyu received the return pass from Messi, it passed it back to De Jong again, which made the Atletico Madrid players feel relieved.
It seems that Barcelona is going to end the last minute with a kick.
Even the referee thought so. He put the whistle in his hand into his mouth and kept looking at his watch, preparing to blow the whistle to end the first half.
But none of them saw that when Li Mingyu sent back De Jong, he made a gesture.
In Barcelona's training, this gesture means a surprise attack.
After receiving the ball, De Jong did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the ball back to Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu suddenly turned around, and Barcelona speeded up instantly.
But it's not that easy for the Atletico Madrid players who have already relaxed to become nervous again.
At 45 minutes and 30 seconds in the first half, Li Mingyu suddenly picked up speed and did not pass the ball. Instead, he took the ball directly from the top and passed two players of the opponent in a row.
Griezmann and Messi in the frontcourt also had a good understanding of each other and started protecting Li Mingyu respectively, helping him take away two defensive players.
Throughout the first half of the game, Li Mingyu did not use his speed to raid Atletico Madrid's defense. Atletico Madrid's players had almost forgotten what Li Mingyu's special skills were last season.
Like a fast horse, Atletico Madrid's players stood on the same spot as he ran a long distance of about 30 meters near the center circle, and were shaken by his sudden acceleration and sudden change of direction.
When Li Mingyu stepped into Atletico Madrid's penalty area, he suddenly found that the only opponent's goalkeeper Oblak was left in front of him.
Single ball.
Li Mingyu passed the opponent's defense line cleanly along the way. The five defensive players did not cause any trouble to Li Mingyu.
Oblak watched helplessly as Li Mingyu rushed into his penalty area like a demon. He could only rush forward, roaring and spreading his arms, trying to block the angle of the opponent's shot.
With such a good solo opportunity at his home court, Li Mingyu would naturally not let this opportunity pass him by.
Follow me with a fake move on the left and right, and replay the fake move on the right and left!
Seeing Li Mingyu swinging his upper body like a pendulum, Oblak could only curse and throw himself in one direction, only to watch Li Mingyu take the ball lightly from another direction.
In the last second of injury time, Li Mingyu kicked the football hard into Atletico Madrid's goal.
2:1, with the goal, the referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.
Conceding the ball at the last moment of the first half was a very heavy psychological blow to the Atletico Madrid players.
Ibrahimovic looked at the back of Li Mingyu rushing towards the stands, and couldn't help but curled his lips. This kid is quite interesting.
Li Mingyu was "caressed" by his teammates all the way back to the locker room.
Damn you, you just envy my beautiful hair. Look at your hairline, it's really a man crying silently.
Li Mingyu straightened his hair, which had been rubbed into a chicken coop, feeling resentful.
Back in the locker room, Li Mingyu received key praise from Koeman, not only because he helped the team lead Atletico Madrid with one pass and one shot in the first half, but also for the way he organized the team in the first half.
Messi, who was sitting nearby, also patted Li Mingyu on the shoulder and expressed his agreement.
With Li Mingyu, Messi was completely liberated. There was no need to sort out the team or organize the offense. Messi's offensive talent was completely activated.
In the first half, Messi's feet felt bad, and Atletico Madrid was shocked by two consecutive goal posts.
However, it can be seen that Messi's desire to attack is getting stronger and stronger, and the threat of attack is getting bigger and bigger.
After Xavi left the team, Messi shouldered the heavy responsibility of organizing the team's offense, which also caused his number of goals to continue to decline, but his number of assists was increasing.
Today's Messi, after being liberated by Li Mingyu, seems to have returned to the terrible 2012 super devil Messi who scored 91 goals in the year.
The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court again.
The score of 2:1 made the players of Barcelona feel extremely relaxed.
The coaches of both sides did not make any adjustments to the lineup.
In the second half, Barcelona kicked off first.
Messi kicked the ball to Li Mingyu outside the center circle. Facing Ibrahimovic who was striding towards him, Li Mingyu did not dare to neglect, and crossed the ball to Pedri on the wing.
At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid started a crazy press in Barcelona's half.
The two coaches on the sidelines looked at the situation on the court with solemn expressions.
Koeman glanced coldly at Simeone not far away and curled his lips. This old boy really wanted to take advantage of the opening of the second half to hit us before we were able to gain a firm foothold.
Koeman and Simeone are also old rivals. Not only have they been the head coaches of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the past two years, but when they were players, they also represented two teams and two armies against each other, and they also know each other's temperament very well.
During the halftime break, Koeman repeatedly emphasized that after the start of the second half, you must pay attention to the opponent's pressing and concentrate.
This time, Barcelona's players did not make the same old mistakes again. After the start of the second half, they were very focused, which made Atletico Madrid's crazy pressing in the second half ineffective.
Five minutes later, Atletico Madrid's high-position pressing began to weaken. After all, humans are not machines, and they cannot fight with such high intensity all the time.
Li Mingyu very keenly grasped this opportunity when Atletico Madrid's players were slacking off, and immediately increased the speed of the game.
After receiving the pass from Busquets, Li Mingyu made a fake move and passed Llorente who came to fight for it, and rushed to the opponent's half in two steps.
At this time, all Atletico Madrid's midfielders rushed towards Li Mingyu.
Llorente Behind Li Mingyu, two Atletico Madrid players on the left and right sides quickly surrounded him. Directly in front, Atletico Madrid's captain and defensive midfielder Koke were also waiting.
A very clever encirclement put Li Mingyu in a dilemma.
Messi and Griezmann are on the left and right sides of Li Mingyu respectively, but with defensive players and players in other positions around him, Li Mingyu has no passing route for him to choose from.
Seeing that Li Mingyu was about to fall into the circle of four people surrounded by Atletico Madrid, Koeman frowned tightly and looked at Simeone with a weird smile on the other side. Is this your strategy?
The fact that Li Mingyu was strangled to death stopped Barcelona's attack.
After watching half of the game, Simeone was shocked to find that Li Mingyu this season and last season were two different people.
Now the entire ball of Barcelona almost passes through the feet of Li Mingyu.
In the first half, there was a problem with Atletico Madrid's defensive strategy, and the target was still placed on Messi. As a result, Li Mingyu connected the team very easily.
Therefore, during the halftime break, Simeone's request for the midfielder was very simple. Cut off the connection between Li Mingyu and the frontcourt so that his ball cannot be passed forward directly.
Li Mingyu didn't have any panic when faced with a four-person double-team, because at the beginning of the second half, Li Mingyu already felt that the opponent's defense was taking good care of him.
Although he was running at high speed, Li Mingyu did not lower his head to look at the football at his feet. Instead, he swung his head left and right twice in a row and looked to his left and right sides. The football at his feet did not escape his control due to such a big movement.
After acquiring Zidane's absolute ball control, Li Mingyu's ball control has reached the level of a first-class star. After a summer of hard training, Li Mingyu's ball control has now reached 93 points, which is considered to be the top level among midfielders at this stage.
Li Mingyu had a very wide field of vision, and after looking around, he saw a player wearing a red and blue jersey quickly coming up behind him on the right side.
Li Mingyu made a move to the left to prepare for a breakthrough, causing the four people defending him to shift their focus to this side.
The heel of Li Mingyu's left foot hit the football hard, and the football flew directly out of the circle surrounded by four people and landed at the feet of Pedri, who was following.
The fans at the scene let out bursts of exclamation, because Li Mingyu's action was so fancy.
While running at high speed, he made an extraordinary fake move, followed by a back-heel pass, toying with the four people of Atletico Madrid between the palms of his hands.
Li Mingyu After passing the ball, he took big strides and rushed forward.
The four players of Atletico Madrid fell into a state of bewilderment in an instant.
Who is going to follow Li Mingyu?
How many people will follow him?
Who will defend Pedri?
How many people are there to defend?
But Pedri won't wait for you to figure it out before attacking.
The moment he got the ball, Pedri was at full speed.
Although Pedri is not as fast as Li Mingyu, there is no one in front of it to defend. For this kind of attack, having legs is enough.
I saw Pedri running wildly along the side road as if it were stepping on a hot wheel.
Messi and Griezmann have also started running in the frontcourt.
Of the four players, two of them went after Li Mingyu, and the other two went after Pedri.
However, it seems that they can no longer catch up.
The cross movement of Messi and Griezmann has caused Atletico Madrid's defense to become confused.
Li Mingyu suddenly appeared in the arc of the penalty area, and Pedri's ball was passed quickly.
Li Mingyu made an action to step forward to meet the ball. It was this action that made the opponent's center back Augusto have no choice but to abandon Griezmann and rush out.
Li Mingyu faced the ball and raised his right foot. However, Augusto had blocked all shooting angles. It was very difficult to directly raise his foot to shoot.
Augusto is very experienced. He knows that Li Mingyu's kick must be a feint and shooting is impossible. Therefore, he is very focused and is afraid of being deceived by Li Mingyu's fake move.
Li Mingyu did as Augusto expected. He did not hit the goal directly, but spread his legs and allowed the football to pass between his legs.
Missed the ball!
Augusto turned to look at the football with a horrified expression. He had no time to react and could only stand there blankly, watching Li Mingyu run past him after missing the ball.
