When the football rolled across the goal line, the entire stadium was dead silent.
All the Barça fans could not believe their eyes. Some even pinched their thighs hard to see if they were having a nightmare.
That gave the other side a two-nil lead? Moreover, the other side dribbled the ball all the way from the backfield to the penalty area after the steal and passed all the players who could pass. Even the goalkeeper was not spared. Then, he easily pushed the empty goal and scored. When did Barça's rear defensive line become like paper?
The Barça players were also completely unable to accept this reality. Many of them were stunned. Messi stood near the center circle with his hands on his hips and looked up at the roof of the stadium with a confused look.
He had just chased to the center circle and did not continue to chase. First, Xia Ruofei's dribbling speed was extremely fast. Without the ball, he was pulled further and further away by Xia Ruofei. There was no point in chasing. Second, because he saw that his own defensive players had quickly formed an encirclement and thought that the ball would definitely not be a threat. After all, the RCD Espanyol team did not have any players to receive Xia Ruofei in time.
However, Messi witnessed Xia Ruofei's crazy performance. When Xia Ruofei passed Ter Stegen, Messi knew that the goal was definitely not guaranteed. Sure enough, even though Xia Ruofei did not choose to kick at the zero degree angle immediately, she still easily bypassed the last defender, Alba, and then shot into the empty goal. There was no change in the result after that.
In stark contrast to the Barça players, the RCD Espanyol players and coaches were ecstatic.
The players on the substitutes' bench swarmed up and rushed toward Xia Ruofei, who ran to the sidelines after the goal and calmly waved in the direction of the VIP box to celebrate. He was suddenly drowned in the crowd.
Manager Ruby's eyes widened first as if he could not believe what he saw. Then, he ran wildly in front of the substitutes' bench to celebrate.
The RCD Espanyol players on the field also celebrated the beautiful goal that was enough to be selected for the Puskás Award.
In contrast, Xia Ruofei, the main goal, was the calmest. He just grinned and trotted to the vicinity of the corner flag area and waved in the direction of the box. This was a greeting to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue.
Then, he was drowned out by his own players.
The commentator who broadcasted the game was completely high.
Many television stations around the world broadcast this focal point battle.
When Xia Ruofei had just robbed Messi, everyone exclaimed at most. But when he went past the players in a row, the mood of the commentators gradually rose. When Xia Ruofei passed Barça's goalkeeper, ter Stegen, most of the commentators' voices were a little hoarse.........
And when Xia Ruofei finally scored the ball, the commentators finally burst into their strongest emotions. For a moment, the sound of "the ball has gone in" in various languages rang out in different regions of the world on TV.
It was followed by a series of praises like a cannon.
In Beijing Huaxia, in the live broadcast room of PP Sports, Shen Fangjian and Jia Tianning were also shocked by the goal.
"Messi and Coutinho hit the wall together! Messi broke into the penalty area. This ball is dangerous! " Shen Fangjian said in a hurried voice, "The one defending Messi is … Xia Ruofei … Beautiful steal! Xia Ruofei is not shaken at all. He simply snatched the ball! "
Shen Fangjian stared at the big screen and continued to say, "Atel has already defended in place. Beautiful! Xia Ruofei used a freehand Oxtail to pass Atel directly. He kicked the ball forward. This ball seems a little big … No! Xia Ruofei's speed is amazingly fast! Rakitic and Busquets's closed-door defense did not stop Xia Ruofei. He broke through! Now there is a wide open space in front of him! "
After Shen Fangjian said so much, he could not help but take a deep breath. Then he immediately said, "Xia Ruofei has dribbled the ball to the front field! Barça's full back, Semedo, has taken over this position! Wow! What a beautiful goal! Semedo tried to stop Xia Ruofei with a tactical foul, but he did not even touch the corner of his shirt! "
"Xia Ruofei broke into the penalty area! The goalkeeper, ter Stegen, attacked! Xia Ruofei bypassed the goalkeeper! It's empty! " Shen Fangjian could not help but roar, "Xia Ruofei took two steps back. Barça's full back, Atel, arrived! He directly shoveled! Ha! Xia Ruofei used a Marseille turn and directly swung Atel into the goal! Open the goal! The ball is in! The ball is in! An unbelievable goal! "
"This goal is beautiful!" Jia Tianning was also very excited. "It's a super one-off! Barça's entire team was bypassed by Xia Ruofei! "
"Let's take a look at the replay!" Shen Fangjian said. "Xia Ruofei successfully stole the ball in his own penalty area. Then he pushed all the way and finally succeeded in hitting the empty goal. After Xia Ruofei's speed increased, he was really unstoppable! This goal is not inferior to Maradona and Ronaldo's one-off! "
"It's definitely a goal to pay tribute to the seniors. It will definitely become a classic many years later!" Jia Tianning said excitedly. "I just counted again. From Messi, to Atel, Rakitic, Busquets, to Semedo, Pique, ter Stegen, and finally Alba, Xia Ruofei's goal bypassed a total of eight players on the Barcelona team! He completely penetrated Barça from the front field to the back field! "
"The fans who stayed up late to watch the game tonight are blessed!" Shen Fangjian said emotionally. "Once upon a time, it was an extravagant hope for us Huaxia fans to even see our own country's players in the top games. Tonight, two Huaxia players jointly contributed two wonderful goals for us. Wu Lei's blitz play was also very beautiful, and Xia Ruofei's super one-off was even more soul-stirring! I'm still trembling with excitement! "
"I think of Pique's remarks in the pre-match interview …" Jia Tianning said with a smile. "I don't know if his face hurts now!"
Jia Tianning's words resonated strongly with the Huaxia fans. Many people climbed over the wall and left messages on Pique's Facebook. All of them had the same content: "Pique saw through. Does your face hurt?"
Moreover, this message was also in three languages: Chinese, Spanish, and English. The content was all the same.
At this time, Pique was still immersed in the frustration of conceding the goal. He did not know how he would feel when he saw his own social media comment section after the game.
In the away team box at Camp Nou's stands, everyone could not help but stand up when Xia Ruofei ran all the way past people. When Xia Ruofei finally scored the ball into the empty goal, there was a huge cheer in the box.
Ling Qingxue and Song Wei laughed and jumped together as they hugged each other. Zhou Leiyun and the full-time vice president of the Huaxia Football Association, Zhao Zhenghao, also clenched their fists and cheered. Then the two of them shook hands tightly, their excitement overflowing from their expressions.
Zhao Zhenghao said with emotion, "Xia Ruofei's individual ability is really too strong!"
"Vice President Zhao, Boss Xia's ability is unquestionable!" Zhou Leiyun said with a smile. "If he can play for the country, then the national football team's attacking power and midfield control will definitely rise by several levels!"
Zhao Zhenghao nodded and said, "I hope this meeting will go smoothly! General Manager Zhou, you didn't tell Xia Ruofei that I came to Spain, right? "
"In order not to affect the game, I didn't tell him the news." Zhou Leiyun said, "I will coordinate after the game. I wish you a smooth meeting in advance!"
"Haha! Thank you for your auspicious words! "Zhao Zhenghao said happily.
On the Internet, after Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei each scored a goal in the game against Barça, the fans began to celebrate.
Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei's names quickly pushed to the top of the search list.
…
On the field, Xia Ruofei returned to his own half surrounded by his teammates.
The Barça fans in the stands finally came to their senses. The game had only started about ten minutes ago, and Barça was already two goals behind. This was not going to be easy to play!
The Barça fans reacted and began to boo loudly.
At this time, Barça had already restarted the game. Xia Ruofei was still active behind Iglesias and often participated in the defense of the team's midfield.
Now, when the Barça players faced Xia Ruofei, they did not dare to be careless. They rarely tried to break through Xia Ruofei head-on. Once Xia Ruofei was in place, they would pass the ball out as soon as there was a passing point. Even if they could not find a passing point around them, they would choose to pass the ball back immediately.
As a result, Xia Ruofei often could not touch the ball.
Even so, every time Xia Ruofei approached the Barça players, there would be loud boos in the stands. The game had only started about ten minutes ago, and Barça was already two goals behind. If someone had made such a prediction before the game, they would have been seen as crazy. And these two goals had something to do with Xia Ruofei, especially the second goal, which was completely a reflection of Xia Ruofei's personal ability.
The RCD Espanyol team's morale was greatly boosted. Unfortunately, in terms of strength, they were much worse than Barça. Barça's advancing offensive routine made the RCD Espanyol's rear defensive line jittery.
Unknowingly, Barça's offensive methods became sharper and sharper, and the RCD Espanyol's formation was naturally affected. Intuitively speaking, the three lines were about to touch.
This was the most dangerous time.
On the sidelines, Ruby also woke up from the joy of Xia Ruofei's goal. He could not help but frown when he saw the precarious situation on the field.
The RCD Espanyol team also liked to play pass and control. In the face of Barça's pressing in the front field, they still hoped to be able to turn the ball over. They would rather pass the ball back to the goalkeeper than easily take a long shot.
A fatal mistake finally appeared. Under Barça's systematic pressing, the RCD Espanyol's Mark Roca made a mistake when he passed the ball horizontally to Naldo about fifteen meters in front of the penalty area.
Suárez, who had been waiting for a long time, was like a cat that smelled fish. He suddenly sprang out from behind Naldo and intercepted the ball.
He did not hesitate to send a straight pass diagonally to the front. Messi's short and agile figure appeared on the route of the pass.
A single blade!
Faced with such an opportunity, how could Messi miss it?
He looked at Diego Lopez, who decisively attacked, and deftly rubbed the ball up.
It was a lob shot!
Diego Lopez was halfway through his attack when he hurriedly leaped high, hoping to get the ball.
However, Messi's footwork was so precise that Diego Lopez was unable to reach him.
The football drew a perfect arc over Diego Lopez's head and steadily fell into the RCD Espanyol's goal.
