Chapter three hundred and ninety third limit shot(1/2)
Everyone in the game, including Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, watched the football fall into the goal.
At that moment, Anfield Stadium was completely boiling!
"al!!!!!!"
The English commentator announced the goal with a long roar. The sports commentator of Sky Sports was originally a Manchester United fan. He was extremely disgusted with Zhang Tiehan for a while. When commenting on Liverpool's game, he said a lot of bad things about Zhang Tiehan. But now when Liverpool and Barcelona are playing against Barcelona, he immediately stood on the side of Liverpool and was very excited about Zhang Tiehan's goal. He found that after so many commentators and watching the game, he really fell in love with Liverpool No. 13, which was running on the court.
He often represents a goal.
Always score goals!
"Zhang! Zhang! After he completed the steal, he faced Valdes who was attacking, calmly scored the ball with a hanging goal! One to zero! The score was rewritten! Beautiful!"
"This is the first goal of the two teams. Barcelona may not have expected the goal to come so suddenly, and they didn't expect that Liverpool would go in first! Puyol made a mistake, and he shouldn't have passed the ball in front of Zhang!"
"This goal may change the situation of the game!"
"Zhang! This is his eleventh goal in the Champions League! Eleven goals! He currently scored three more goals in the Champions League than Henry, and he deserves to be ranked first in the scorer list. We can see that his goals are still in a steady stream, with eleven goals. It is almost unlikely that others will surpass him. He defended the Champions League scorer king in two clubs in a row!"
This is an incredible honor.
There are many players in history who can defend the Champions League scorer king, such as Van Nie, Raul, Muller Nelson in the 1970s, etc., but they all played in a club and won the Champions League scorer king for two consecutive times. Van Nie was at Manchester United and Raul was at Real Madrid, but Zhang Tiehan played for Roma, Italy last season and now played for Liverpool. These are two teams from two countries, and it is incredible to be able to win the Champions League scorer king for consecutive times.
It is conceivable that there will definitely be many media mentioning this after the game.
This will open up a new football history.
Perhaps no one has noticed this before. After all, the Champions League scorer is not an honor that has attracted much attention. It is only limited to the Champions League, but it is different to win the Scorer King for two consecutive seasons. Especially in two clubs, this is almost announcing to the world that the players who have made this history are definitely the top scorers.
Now Zhang Tiehan has just celebrated his 21st birthday... Regardless of age or achievements, he will make other shooters ashamed of themselves. All he lacks is a champion.
Champion!
After scoring the goal, Zhang Tiehan also thought about the championship!
At Wigan Athletics, in Rome, he is now coming to Liverpool. He has achieved a lot of easy things by scoring goals, such as the European Golden Boot Award last season, which is the top honor for a scorer. But at the club level, he has never won any championship.
The League One champion? Perhaps the current English Championship champion? Does that make sense?
League Cup champion? Haha.
European Winners Cup? Hahaha... What he needs is the top league champion, the Champions League champion, not these unsuccessful champions.
Then you have to defeat Barcelona now, you must!
Thinking of the championship, Zhang Tiehan was even more motivated. After a simple celebration, he re-arranged the formation with his teammates and prepared to start the game. The first half was not over yet, so he didn't want to waste too much time. If he wanted to eliminate Barcelona, he had to gain an advantage in this game, otherwise the next game would be even harder to play.
So, are you ready for Barcelona’s opponents?
I'm ready to fight again!
......
Barcelona were not in a good mood at this time.
The ball was so sudden that they were completely unprepared. After seeing the football fly into the goal, many Barcelona fans were not even willing to believe that the ball had entered, and the players in Barcelona were also a little stunned.
The Spanish commentator, at the moment of scoring the goal, said the goal, and also said to Barcelona, "The ball has been in! Liverpool has a 1-0 lead! This goal has a lot to do with Puyol. He didn't notice Zhang who followed him when passing the ball. He was directly intercepted by Zhang. A player as capable as Zhang, when playing a single shot, probably no goalkeeper in the world has the confidence to block it. Valdes has no way to do it at all."
"This is Puyol's mistake..." The Spanish narrator kept emphasizing.
In fact, Barcelona fans are just regretful about scoring goals, but they don’t blame Puyol. After all, Puyol is a pure Barcelona man. He has played for Barcelona since his youth and has been in his eleventh season. It is only counted as the first team years, which is also the eighth season.
Eight seasons and five seasons are the main force. Puyol's importance in Barcelona can be imagined, and his personal abilities are beyond doubt.
If it was someone else who made the mistake just now, even Max and Barcelona fans would have complained in their hearts, but Puyol, they could only think about it. It was not that Puyol did not do well, but that the other party's No. 13 was too surprised.
It's okay to think so...
The Spanish commentator is also explaining this point. Obviously, he is also similar to ordinary Barcelona fans. "This steal just now was too unexpected. Puyol didn't expect that Zhang's explosive power was so strong. When he reacted, the football had been stolen. From this, you can see the danger of Liverpool's No. 13 Zhang. Barcelona should pay more attention to Zhang's vigilance!"
Using the constant praise of opponents to prove that the loss of the goal is not the fault of his own players. Perhaps only Puyol, as the captain, can enjoy this kind of treatment.
But in the eyes of Barcelona, it doesn't matter if they lose a goal, they will make a comeback!
Not only ordinary Barcelona fans think so, but many media reporters also believe that the goal has little impact on the situation on the court. After all, this can only be considered a sneak attack, not a real "with strength". Although Liverpool scored a goal in vain, the two teams' match has not yet passed one half, and Barcelona still has many opportunities.
Barcelona players think so too.
The other Barcelona players did not blame Puyol. Not only Puyol was their captain, but the person they had always trusted, but because of the ball just now, let alone Puyol, they didn't react at all. They didn't expect that the opponent's No. 13 would have such strong explosive power and put it on themselves. They couldn't react either.
Moreover, Barcelona is good at passing the ball all the time. Unless they encounter an opponent who presses the whole game, it is generally difficult for the opponent to grab the ball under their feet, but they can play against Barcelona. Which team in the world dares to use the same press the whole game like them?
No!
In other words, Barcelona conceded very few goals in the backcourt, and it was hard to even think of when the last time was.
Anyway, the Barcelona people don't blame Puyol.
Puyol blamed himself a little. He didn't show anything on his face, but he was still very dissatisfied with the care he had just made. Coach Rijkald kept emphasizing the need to pay attention to the opponent's No. 13, but he still didn't notice it.
Then start to be more serious!
Even because of his relationship, the team lost a goal. Puyol did not think it was a matter of personal ability. He always believed that the combination of himself and Max was enough to limit the opponent's No. 13!
The game started over.
Even with the same idea of those Barcelona supporters, after the game started again, it soon returned to its original rhythm, and Barcelona still controlled the rhythm of the game with constant cooperation with passing.
They keep passing the ball and passing the ball, which is in this way to hit the ball in front of Liverpool's goal, allowing the players in front to find a good opportunity to shoot.
They keep doing this.
But it was different at this time. When the football was in the backcourt, Barcelona became extremely careful. Because Zhang Tiehan kept running, they even reduced the number of passes and receiving in the backcourt, put the main passes and receiving balls in the center line, and the number of passes and passing times was also reduced a little. In short, if there is a place where Zhang Tiehan ran, Barcelona tried not to pass the ball over.
They are quite alert!
This change is undetectable by outsiders. Unless it is professionally analyzed, it is difficult for fans watching the game to notice. After all, Barcelona's tactics have not changed and they are still passing the ball continuously.
But Zhang Tiehan felt it was obvious.
He had been running all the time before, which could almost be described as "chasing the ball". He had been away from the football many times before, but now, when he was on the left, the football would go to the right, and when he was on the right, the football would go back to the back... In short, no matter how he ran, the distance between him and the football was more than ten meters. It was too difficult to find an opportunity to steal. The main reason was that no matter how fast he ran alone, the threat was really smaller to the cooperation of the Barcelona team.
Zhang Tiehan was a little helpless, but he should be satisfied if he could score an unexpected goal.
Liverpool's simplicity and rudeness.
Barcelona are still constantly stumbled, which is what they are good at, and it is also a way to control the rhythm in the hands of the team and slowly slow down the rhythm.
Liverpool's pace is quite fast.
When Liverpool gets the ball, it is moving forward, either a counterattack or a rapid advance. Football rarely moves horizontally, and most of them are transfers from front to back. Liverpool almost does not exceed half a minute from launching the attack to finishing.
Barcelona is the exact opposite.
Half a minute is not enough for them to pass the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, which may be the reason why their possession rate is quite high. Their pace is very slow, to the extreme, and the comparison between the two is quite obvious.
In comparison, Barcelona's tactics are obviously better.
Liverpool's style of play is very simple and rough. It is to use counterattacks, which is to use Zhang Tiehan's impact. Other players pass the ball with one kick when attacking, and there are very few short passes. When they don't attack, others are taking them in their own half and using intensive defense to block their own backcourt.
In terms of such football, it is more than ten years behind Barcelona...
In the eyes of Barcelona fans, it is obvious that Liverpool's tactics are not worth mentioning. Liverpool's offense is too simple, so simple that the commentator doesn't need to explain. Those non-fans probably understand the game, let alone Barcelona fans who have always been fascinated by the gorgeous tactics of their own teams. They simply disdain.
No matter how disdainful Barcelona fans are about Liverpool’s football, one thing they must admit is that Liverpool’s simple and rough style of play is still very effective.
When they attack, they mostly pass a long pass or a high pass. The opponent's No. 13 is more than 1.9 meters tall, and is terrible in strength and heading ability. It is really effective to use heading to deal with Barcelona's relatively short defense line.
In contrast, Barcelona's offense has never worked.
They keep turning their feet down, but Liverpool's defense is tight. There are few loopholes. Their core, Ronaldinho, the best in the frontcourt, is very defensive by Liverpool. Just like his own team pays attention to the opponent's No. 13, Liverpool also pays great attention to Ronaldinho's defense.
So far, Ronaldinho has not received any good opportunities.
The Brazilians were restricted, and Barcelona did not find any decent good opportunities in their overall offense, but their every attack still put a lot of pressure on Liverpool. After all, their offense is too gorgeous. Everyone in Liverpool must concentrate to avoid giving Barcelona a chance.
To relieve stress, you must attack.
Too much defense is not a solution, you need to increase some offense to make the pressure less.
On the court.
Hypia blocked Van Bomel's ball directly, and then he passed the ball to Riser on the wing, and then he let out a long sigh. Carragher beside him also breathed a long sigh. They were both Liverpool's defender, but when facing Barcelona and facing defending Ronaldinho, the pressure was really great.
The game lasted forty minutes and the half was not over yet. But they were already feeling very tired.
Both of them looked to the frontcourt.
Riser passed the ball to Gerald, and Gerald dribbled forward. Edmilson, who came to intercept, handed the ball to Alonso who inserted it. Alonso directly passed the side to Garcia, and then he ran forward by himself. Gerald slowly moved forward without rushing. Sure enough, it was difficult for Garcia to break through Barcelona's side by himself. After protecting the ball, he had to pass the ball back, and the football reached Gerald's feet again.
At this time, all the Barcelona players had returned to defense.
Another difficult advancement!
This kind of attack is a headache. Speaking of which, Liverpool's tactics are very simple, which is to pass the ball and hang high into the penalty area to let Zhang Tiehan find an opportunity to shoot. However, it is not easy to find an opportunity to pass the ball. After Barcelona retreated, they were very strict in their own half-time defense. It is impossible to complete the pass in the middle line, right? There is no David Beckham in Liverpool. They must bring the ball forward, which also means it is easy to be intercepted. At the same time, Liverpool also has to worry about Barcelona's last quick counterattack after stealing, which is really too dangerous. After all, Barcelona's players are very good, and they are not confident that they can defend against that kind of counterattack.
Liverpool's offense is simple and rough, but he has to pay attention at all times. It is not easy to find a good opportunity to pass the ball in this way.
They must cooperate!
Zhang Tiehan stood in the frontcourt and saw that the team behind him was not able to push the offense further forward, so he could only retreat a little to get the ball. So he did this. After seeing him retreat, Garcia, who had just got the ball again, passed it directly over.
It's a sticking to the earth.
To be continued...
