"Real Madrid has made a substitution. No. 11 Granello has been replaced by No. 20 Juan Mata! "SGR Radio commentator Halligson introduced the substitution.
"In the past month, Mata disappeared from Real Madrid's under-17 A team. There were rumors that Mata violated the team's discipline and was demoted to the under-15 team. Now, is he officially back?" Escudero said. "Li Ang has been replaced by Mata. What is he doing? Is he going to play against Barcelona? Is he out of his mind? Barcelona's offense is very fierce now. Real Madrid looks like they could lose the ball at any time. Why are they attacking instead of strengthening their defense? They are digging their own grave. Oh, wrong. They are hastening their own demise. It seems that after the game, we will receive news that the Chinese player has been kicked out of Real Madrid's Charmartin base. "
Halligson glanced at his commentator partner. What's wrong with this guy today? Why is he so stubborn about Real Madrid's young coach?
"I think this substitution is very interesting," Halligson said. "Li should realize that it is impossible to defend against Barcelona's offense, so he is trying to use offense to contain Barcelona's offense."
"Using offense to suppress offense. Yes, this is a tactic." Escudero snorted. "But this tactic depends on where it is used, when it is used, and the conditions under which it is used. Looking at the current situation, Real Madrid's defense is already in danger. Now they are attacking. Their defense is not stable, and their offense is not as good as Barcelona's. This is a stupid move."
"Well said!"
"Absolutely a stupid move!"
On the Real Madrid fan forum, Campos applauded the words of the radio commentator, Escudero. He could already imagine that Real Madrid pressing out to attack at this time was simply courting death. If they were not careful, they would be slaughtered by Barcelona.
That Chinese player was a tumor in Charmartin, and he must be eliminated.
Campos felt that he was doing something great. With a single shout, his followers had gathered, and his heart was surging with emotions.
He continued to post comments on his post, attacking Li Ang and calling for Real Madrid to fire him. For a while, he received a warm response. As for how many of them really understood and cared about the matter, or were just making a fuss, it was unknown. Previously, when Li Ang arranged for the team to use conservative tactics, they scolded Li Ang. Then, they chose to ignore the beautiful counterattack goal that Li Ang's tactics brought about. Now, in the face of a huge crisis, Li Ang showed his fighting spirit and bravery. He brought on Mata to strengthen the offense. It looked like he wanted to go head-to-head with Barcelona. They still scolded Li Ang. Anyway, the reasoning was with the Campos.
"Li Ang brought on Mata at this time to give Barcelona some pressure in the offense and relieve the pressure on the defense. Let's see what kind of performance this substitution will bring! "Halligson was not affected by his commentary partner. He was more objective in his commentary. He faintly felt that Li Ang's substitution might have a wonderful effect on the game.
Cruyff saw Real Madrid's substitution.
"Tell me about that kid," he asked Vilanova.
Vilanova briefly introduced Mata's situation and even joked that "Mata is Real Madrid's Silva, and Silva is Valencia's Messi."
Cruyff smiled. There was such a saying, but he did not take it to heart. There was only one Messi, and he was in Barcelona. Then, was Mata a weaker version of Messi? Did the Real Madrid coach send this player to suppress Barcelona with offense?
Naive!
Cruyff used this word to describe Li Ang's substitution. If he knew the history of China, he would use another word, "armchair strategist." It was a substitution and tactics that were taken for granted.
Cruyff was confident in Barcelona's offense. It was wishful thinking to expect to use offense to contain Barcelona and Messi's group of kids who were invincible in Spain.
Barcelona's Godfather, who had a little admiration for Li Ang, shook his head.
Mata was unusually active after he came on the field. He ran vigorously, reached out for the ball, and yelled. This kid's fighting spirit was completely ignited. Facing Messi, Mata was on fire.
This made Li Ang, who was in the technical area, breathe a sigh of relief. His words were not in vain.
It didn't take long for Mata to show off his amazing footwork to the crowd on the sidelines.
Real Madrid finally ended Barcelona's offense. The goalkeeper, Casillas, held the football steadily and gave his teammates a chance to breathe before he kicked the football out.
Harvey Garcia passed the football to de la Red, who passed the football out in advance in the face of Fàbregas's scramble.
It was a half-high ball.
Piqué was in front of Mata. He planned to rush up the moment he stopped the ball.
But after Mata lifted his right foot slightly, he did not stop the ball. Instead, he let the football fly over his right foot. Just when people thought he had made a mistake in stopping the ball, the football fell. But he used the tip of his left foot to lift the ball up beautifully!
Then his right foot landed on the ground, and he lifted his left foot to kick the football again.
The football flew over Piqué's right hand, and at the same time, he went around to the other side!
He passed the ball!
Piqué had no choice but to reach out and pull Mata.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Barcelona's foul was called.
It was only then that the audience had time to exclaim.
"Yes, that's it! Well done! Keep going! Show the kid your strength! "Li Ang clapped and cheered with a thumbs up.
Mata clenched his fists. The coach was right. He had to work harder to show the kid. He looked at Messi.
Messi felt Mata's gaze on him. He could feel that the man's gaze was not friendly at all. However, he did not care. Messi had encountered such situations many times. He was used to it. Another opponent who wanted to show his face in the game and wanted to step on Messi to shine. He had seen too many. Each one of them was just arrogant and pretentious. This time would be no different.
Messi did not care about Mata's provocation. He focused all his attention on the game. After all, although Barcelona now had the advantage, Barcelona were behind in the score. They had to seize the time to score.
For a person who vowed to perform well in front of his opponent, what was the most hurtful thing? Ignore!
Mata felt deeply hurt now.
Ha. Li Ang had been paying attention to the situation on the field. He keenly captured this small detail. He knew that it might be Messi's character. Messi was not like Cristiano Ronaldo who would explode when provoked. Messi's focus was on the game. However, Mata did not know. Li Ang knew that Mata's fighting spirit had been ignited.
At the same time, Li Ang called Harvey and Garcia to the sidelines. He asked Garcia to strengthen the pressing and create a chance for Mata to fight back. Harvey and Garcia returned to the field and found Mata. They whispered to each other. The latter turned his head to look at the sidelines and saw Li Ang giving him a thumbs up.
Mata had a strong feeling of being recognized.
Even Li Ang, who had just given this tactical order to Harvey and Garcia, did not expect the opportunity to come so quickly. It appeared so suddenly.
This was a pass from Barcelona's defender, Chiwetel, to Piqué. His pass was slightly weaker. Piqué saw it and quickly came up to receive the ball. However, it was Harvey and Garcia who came out from the side. He directly slid to the ground and tackled the ball. He stopped the ball midway and then swung his leg and swept the ball to Callejón.
Callejón already knew the coach's intention to send Mata. Coupled with his own fitness problems, he did not stick to the ball this time and directly passed the ball out.
Opportunity!
Mata was like a leopard. He pulled the ball and turned around. He directly accelerated and dribbled the ball forward.
The position of the intercepted ball was close to Barcelona's side in the center circle. Therefore, Real Madrid's counterattack this time was like a dagger that could pierce the heart.
This was originally the time for Barcelona to press heavily. Therefore, Piqué rushed across the half of the field and was ready to join the attack, not to mention the two sides. Therefore, at this time, there was only one center back, Varian, at the back.
Varian felt that he was facing the same situation as the first half of the game where he lost the goal.
It was an extremely awkward and terrible situation.
He was the only one at the back. He was the last barrier in front of the goalkeeper. The team needed him to guard … or be the scapegoat.
He came up to defend against Mata. He hoped to be able to block the position. At the very least, he wanted to delay Real Madrid's counterattack and give Piqué time to come over to help. But he looked so clumsy in front of the agile Mata. This kid, who had been provoked by Li Ang, had a bellyful of anger that could burn the night sky. He made three consecutive changes in direction while running, which made Varian dizzy and exposed his back to the other side.
Next, Mata naturally would not be polite. He went around the back of the other side, then changed direction and inserted into the penalty area diagonally!
Huge cheers erupted on the sidelines.
Now Mata could shoot or pass the ball. It all depended on his mood …
Barcelona's goalkeeper, Planzília, attacked and intended to block Mata's shot.
Mata swung his right leg and pretended to kick the goal!
Planzília immediately made a pouncing motion … but his opponent did not kick the football out. Instead, he suddenly buckled to the middle, which deceived Planzília.
Then, facing half of the goal, the kid named Juan Mata pulled out a powerful and explosive shot.
The football fiercely rushed into the goal net and knocked the net high up into the air.
"The goalkeeper is attacking! Pass! Mata is past! He shoots! It's in! The ball is in! Real Madrid widens the score! Their coach, Li, replaced Mata and immediately received a miraculous effect! It was a gamble to use offense to contain Barcelona, an incredible substitution. But now, he succeeded! Two to zero! Mata came on as a substitute and scored! " Exclaimed Halligson. He was delighted, especially at the sight of his old friend Escudero's face, which was as ugly as a secret. Haha, he was really starting to like the young coach a little now.
Li Ang saw Mata swinging his right leg when Mata passed the goalkeeper and was about to shoot. This kid was actually going to shoot!
Originally, it only needed a push shot to get in, but this kid wanted to shoot!
He wanted to vent his anger by shooting!
Li Ang's heart was beating fast. He raised his arms, nervous, and roared in his heart, "Bastard, if you hit this ball —"
Then he saw the net being knocked up by the football fiercely.
Because of his nervousness, his raised arms became a celebratory gesture. Then he was hugged by Pablo Banderas and the other assistants. The entire Real Madrid bench was boiling.
Li Ang did not speak. He maintained his position and his heart was beating so fast.
He took deep breaths, deep breaths.
A strong, strong sense of excitement and satisfaction overflowed.
A battle of life and death!
He had to win the game!
He seemed to be making a bold gamble, but it was actually an act of helplessness.
He was unwilling to admit defeat in his bones.
It was the last fight.
He had won this crazy gamble of attacking.
Great pressure, nervousness, anticipation, irritation, hope, struggle, and persistence, all for the final goal.
Once he succeeded, all his senses were trembling!
He liked this feeling.
It was a great pleasure. He took a deep breath, and the air seemed to be full of surging excitement …
