Laporte's downward tackle was very beautiful, and although Messi formed a shot, he hit Laporte's calf at an angle too small and bounced the ball out.

Although they managed to block the dangerous pass, Barcelona's subsequent attack was still very fierce.

This season, Barcelona's set-piece attacks have chosen tactical corners, but this has not affected their efficiency in corner kick production.

This time Barcelona's corner kick opportunity, or choose to continue to open a tactical corner, with Neymar's departure, Barcelona lack a master of long-range shooting outside the box, but the appearance of Malone seems to fill this.

On today's midfield line, Paulinho also has the ability to shoot long-range heavy artillery.

It's just that because of the height limit of the Barcelona team, he has to go into the box to do that relatively high point.

Although Paulinho is not an unusually tall midfielder like Pogba. But in Barcelona's former midfield configuration, Paulinho's size is already relatively tall.

Suarez has no starting situation and can only push Paulinho into the box to serve as the high point for the fight for a spot.

After observing Bilbao's penalty area defense, Messi chose to take the initiative to extend his hand to Malone.

Barcelona's front is already very lacking in people who can smash headers. Today, Suarez also had a rotation, and the highest midfield was just one Paulinho.

In such a situation, Messi will naturally choose to try more long-range shots from corners.

After opening a tactical corner to Malone, he immediately ran quickly towards the top of the arc.

Malone immediately sent a very delicate pick, and the ball flew to the top of the arc. Tubbao's veteran midfielder Ituraspe jumped high and prepared to clear the ball.

But at this time, the course of the ball suddenly began to fall rapidly. Although this is not an ability acquired through the system, training in Barcelona has allowed Malone to better master the use of some technical movements, which greatly reduces the possibility of his movement deformation in passing.

"Barcelona's corner chances, it's still a tactical corner. Barcelona have used tactical balls very often this season. The ball is going to Messi. Messi chose to kick directly outside the top of the arc! "

Malone was so stealthy that even a veteran like Ituraspe didn't react to it, and the ball would be a sudden fall.

It was this sudden fall that caught Ituraspe off guard. The original competition for the top also turned into a top under such circumstances, leaving Messi with a vacant position.

After receiving the ball, Messi immediately made a step adjustment and quickly completed a push.

"Macy! Knock on the door! "

Messi's movements are amazingly fast, and the power of shooting is quite hidden.

"But Kepa reacted very quickly and he held the ball!"

But Kepa's reaction speed was terrifying, and he quickly blocked the near corner of the goal with a sitting position.

This shot was then held firmly by him lying on the ground.

This wave of Barcelona's attack also came to an end, and for the rest of the game, Bilbao seemed to change its tactical arrangement.

In the 24th minute of the game, Malone held the ball on the left flank and quickly tried to break through. With his speed advantage, even the equally strong and fast Serena Williams behind him could not keep up with Marlon's speed. Now his first step start speed has been combined with his 87 speed, which has become his sharpest weapon.

Williams is fast, but he is still a lot worse than Malone's flexibility and the start of the first step.

Although he returned to defense at high speed behind him, he could only interfere with Ma Long, and there was no way to make Ma Long stop completely.

But then Ituraspe hugged Marlon at his side without hesitation and pushed him to the ground. There is no doubt that this was a tactical foul, and Bilbao did not want to see a young and fast player like Malone try to break through on his wing so frequently

.

In the face of this unquestionable tactical foul, the referee blew the whistle as soon as possible and called the player who made the foul.

But the referee's whistle, although sounded, ended up only verbally, and the warning did not show a yellow card to the player.

This match is the home game of Bilbao, and their style of play has always been rough and fierce. If the scale is blown too harshly, then Bilbao's quest will be completely impossible.

Considering the normal operation of the game and the factors of the home stadium, the referee did not put the scale of this game very strictly. This also fueled Bilbao's subsequent fouls, with successive waves of attempts to break through on the left flank, all ending with Malone being brought down by various fouls.

As a team that mainly plays tactical fouls, Bilbao has long been familiar with this set. How many players are responsible for tactical fouls separately? Allowing a player not to be continuously taken care of by the referee in a short period of time greatly reduces the risk of eating cards.

The benchmark team in the Basque Country, this status alone is enough to make Bilbao valued by La Liga in terms of home penalty scale.

But there is no doubt that such a scale of penalties also greatly dissatisfied Barcelona.

As the player's anger grew, the scale and direction of the game gradually became intense.

In the 31st minute of the match, Paulinho held the ball in the middle and then observed Deulofeu on the right wing with an astonishing speed. After a slight adjustment, a kick is sent to the ground for an ultra-long distance.

The advance amount given by this kick was quite in place, and Deulofeuud completed the start smoothly. But San Jose did not hesitate to use a flying shovel to drop Deulofeu to the ground.

The new Bilbao manager knows very well that Valverde will definitely take advantage of Bilbao's large number of veterans in the midfield, but at the same time the two main central defenders are a disadvantage of young people.

Frequent use like de Ulofeu. Malone and Dembele are constantly attacking their midfield and both sides.

Therefore, a plan for such a tactical foul was made early on. As much as possible, he curbs the opponent's attack through tactical fouls without touching the referee's bottom line.

The referee's whistle finally sounded in the face of this dangerous tackle, and this time, he gave San Jose a yellow card. Although the ball had been tackled, his right leg also grazed Deulofeu's supporting ankle, which was enough to get a yellow card.
