Chapter four hundred and six wearing the crotch
But not only Barcelona players, Barcelona coach Rijcard is also very angry. His anger is also on his face. While he is angry, he is also very worried.
Liverpool continues to shrink his defense is his biggest concern.
Barcelona is one goal behind, and they must score a goal to eliminate Liverpool. Although Barcelona has taken the initiative on the field, in fact, the initiative is on Liverpool. Liverpool can defend with peace of mind. If they can defend the goal, they can eliminate Barcelona. This is the initiative in the score.
Where is Barcelona?
They have to attack and score goals. They have no other choice. Although they control the game and control most of the ball time, they are actually passive. When Liverpool shrinks the defense line, it is obvious that Barcelona will be even more difficult for them to score.
He was worried more than that.
The Dutchman looked at the center line and looked at Liverpool No. 13 standing there. That was the point of his concern. The goal was one point, and this No. 13 was another point.
If it were someone else, Rijkaard wouldn't be too worried, but he was particularly worried about this No. 13 because the player's personal ability is a little outstanding. If the football is handed over to his feet and the chance is good, he will definitely not mind using the counterattack to score a goal.
If the team does not pay attention to defense because Liverpool has completely contracted its defense, it is likely to be scored by a goal. After all, the No. 13's personal ability is too strong, fast and explosive. Although his personal skills are average, his physical advantages are enough to make up for a lot of things. In addition, his desperate shooting ability... Rijkaard thinks he should remind players to pay attention to this.
But, he can't do that.
The team must first score a goal. If you tell everyone now: you must pay attention to the opponent's No. 13. Pay attention to defense while attacking, then the offense will be timid, and such a goal will be difficult to break through Liverpool goal.
Now they still have to score a goal first.
Wait a little longer.
Rijkald thought.
What he didn't expect was that this was more than twenty minutes. In more than twenty minutes, Barcelona launched countless attacks, time and time again. They were always attacking, and Liverpool had few counterattacks. Even with the ball and the opportunity to attack, they would not have more than three players crossed the center line. It would be strange if such an attack could have any threat. As a result, after a while, the football came to Barcelona again, and then it was Barcelona's turn to attack.
Liverpool's style of playing is like telling Barcelona: You can attack! We give all the football to you, and we will defend passively.
So Barcelona attacked even more unscrupulously.
......
The game on the court is really sleepy.
Barcelona have been attacking, but even Barcelona players find it boring. Liverpool's formation is too strict. They just let ten players form a tight bus defense to prevent Barcelona from doing anything near the penalty area. Facing such defense, it is difficult for Barcelona to find opportunities, so they keep passing the ball near the center line and passing the ball. Such passes are occasionally exciting, but most of the time is very boring.
The fans of both teams felt drowsy, and many Barcelona fans began to angrily criticize Liverpool's "abnormal behavior". Unfortunately, their anger was useless. Liverpool seemed to have become more tight under this anger. They completely regarded the anger of Barcelona fans as encouragement.
Perhaps Liverpool players have been prepared for a long time.
In the match against Barcelona, they have been in a passive state. This is the second half of the second leg. They have been passive and passive. They don’t need to take the initiative anymore. In order to win, there is no need to fight for that breath. So just stick to it and persevere until the end of the game, and they will eliminate their opponents. This is the best result.
The two teams were still playing on the court, but the commentators from all walks of life have already started to get away.
The English commentator talked about Liverpool's championship last season, talked about the quarterfinals, talked about the semi-finals against Chelsea, and then looked forward to the possibility of Liverpool becoming the Champions League champion this season. "Liverpool had a difficult journey last season, but they survived and staged a miracle of three-goal reversal in Istanbul. They were smoother this season, but their schedule was much more difficult than last season. As long as they could survive, they could defend the Champions League championship, they would make history. Since the Champions League reorganization, no team has been able to defend the honor."
The Spanish commentator is not as relaxed and casual as the English commentator. He is also worried about Barcelona's goal. If the game ends here, Barcelona will obviously be eliminated, so he began to criticize Liverpool's football, "This is too utilitarian! This is a regression of football! It is a shame for European football!"
But no matter what he said, it would not change Liverpool's determination to defend.
Barcelona really feels like they are being "dragged" on the court, but they are still attacking steadily and constantly using their cooperation to find opportunities. Their performance is very steady. Anyone believes that as long as there is a loophole in Liverpool's defense, Barcelona will likely take advantage of the opportunity to score goals.
But maybe God is standing on Liverpool's side...
Just when Barcelona fans were still angrily scolding Liverpool, Liverpool got a chance. In the 77th minute, Barcelona's pass was cut by Hepia's backcourt. He didn't even look at it, and just drove to the frontcourt with a big foot.
This is Liverpool's 'counterattack tactic'.
Hepia has always done this before, and other Liverpool players do it, but this is not called passing at all. The difference between the football landing point and Zhang Tiehan's position is too big. Even if his speed is faster than ordinary people, he has not reached the level of superman. Naturally, he is not strong enough. Moreover, many of the balls are directly out of bounds, and he has no chance to grab them.
But this ball was played very accurately.
The landing point of the football is just a little bit ahead of Zhang Tiehan.
Zhang Tiehan didn't know how long he had been standing in the frontcourt. He only knew that he hadn't been involved in the ball for about ten minutes. Even if he was mentally prepared, he was very depressed. While his teammates were constantly defending, he could only stand in the frontcourt to kill time. He was the most idle person in the game. Many people forgot his existence. Only when the camera pointed the football over with the football, fans noticed that there was a Liverpool player in the middle line, oh? That was their No. 13.
Then?Nothing.
After all, Zhang Tiehan didn't get the ball, and the game had nothing to do with him.
But when the ball flew over, Zhang Tiehan immediately became much more energetic. He glanced at the football carefully and immediately used "see through" to understand the next trajectory of the football, and then stood forward two steps and reached the landing point.
He just waited for the football to fall.
Puyor came to defend, but Zhang Tiehan had already stood firmly, Puyor could only interfere by the side. He could even watch Zhang Tiehan kick the ball under his feet.
"pretty!"
Zhang Tiehan's move was quite gorgeous. The football fell from the air and fell directly under his feet. Zhang Tiehan squeezed Puyor and kicked the ball directly when the football fell on the grass, making the football stand on the grass instantly. This is not something that ordinary players can do. Such a way of stopping the ball is also very rare in the game, and it is eye-catching if you just look at it.
Even Barcelona fans couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Of course they wouldn't really praise Zhang Tiehan. They were more worried about whether this ball would pose a threat to Barcelona... Beside Zhang Tiehan, there was only Puyol, and another central defender, Max, was running back just now... Maybe he has a chance to come back?
While they were thinking, Zhang Tiehan had already started.
His movement was very simple. He knocked the ball on his heel and turned around and accelerated. Puyor immediately had to block Zhang Tiehan with his body. That movement was a foul. But it was not a serious foul, but if he was allowed to succeed, then this attack would be like a failure.
After finally waiting for an opportunity, Zhang Tiehan will not let it go easily!
Facing Puyor's body crossed, Zhang Tiehan twisted a curve to one side. The movement seemed to others a little worried about whether his waist would be sprained. After all, he did not seem to be the kind of smart player, but a kind of body type player. Such players are often not very flexible, but Zhang Tiehan did it. He used a waist twisting action to jump directly over Puyor. Even after crossing Puyor, Puyor hadn't reacted yet. He obviously didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to jump over him like that.
Everyone at Camp Nou Stadium was shocked by Zhang Tiehan's action.
"God! I really can't believe what I saw just now? Is that a big man of 1.9 meters?"
"How is that possible?!"
"God! No, he is really God! That move! I think Messi can probably do it, Zhang? Liverpool's 13th? Is it April Fool's Day today?"
"But no matter what, Zhang did it..."
"Puyer didn't react at all. Facing Zhang's tall, strong and flexible opponent, maybe he would feel helpless, right?"
"Tall, strong...flexible? I don't know how these words are linked together."
All the commentators were amazed.
In fact, they don’t know that in terms of physical flexibility, Zhang Tiehan is no worse than those small players. He has the awesome ancient power attribute of ‘double sensitivity’. His body must not be measured by the eyes of ordinary people. Even if he is 1.9 meters tall, he is still very flexible.
However, Zhang Tiehan is not in the mood to think about what many commentators think and what fans think, he is already very excited!
After leaping past Puyol, there was a gap in front of him!
There is only one goalkeeper Valdes between Barcelona's goal and him. He knows very well that what he needs now is to calm down and then quickly drive the ball to the opponent's goal.
This is the best chance in the second half.
Perhaps...the only opportunity!
If I cherish this opportunity, let you know that your overall strength is too strong. You have been attacking the whole game around us. No matter how hard you work, it is not as important as I cherish the opportunity!
Zhang Tiehan was roaring in his heart!
This is a kind of vent, a depressed vent for the whole game. He played very depressed throughout the game. Except for a goal at the beginning, he almost had no performance. He was like a passerby in the game. He stood in the frontcourt and could only watch others play football. The feeling was not as good as he was a defensive player to face Barcelona's storm-like attack!
He dribbled the ball straight to Barcelona goal.
Valdes rushed out!
......
Valdes is a pure Barcelona man. He is only 24 years old this year, but in 1992, when he was only ten years old, he joined the Barcelona tier. However, in September of the same year, he moved to Tenerife with his family until he returned to the team three years later.
He was only thirteen years old at this time.
Genius always shines, returning to Barcelona tier, Valdes soon stood out in youth teams and Barcelona B team, and the club coach decided to promote Valdes to the first team in the 2002/03 season.
At first Valdes took turns with Bonano, but before the end of the season he had become the first choice for goalkeeper position under Antich.
In the 2003/04 season, Valdes consolidated his main position. He participated in most of the games of Barcelona throughout the season, performed well in many games, helping the team to win the league runner-up.
This season is his second Champions League in his career, Valdes has performed very well, and before playing against Liverpool, he only conceded three goals in eight games, including two goals in six of the group stages and one goal in the knockout stage with Chelsea.
Such performance is impressive.
Valdes is also very happy that he can perform so stably. Because of this, he has a deeper impression of Zhang Tiehan... He never expected that he would concede so many goals in two rounds against Liverpool, three in the first game and one in the second game.
Now it seems that another one is going to be ‘welcome’?
More importantly, all these goals came from one of the opponent's players - No. 13, Zhang! Barcelona deeply remembered Zhang Tiehan's face. Since he participated in the professional league, he has never had such a deep memory of an opponent's player because of two games, but Zhang Tiehan, he remembered it.
But now he has to face this face.
The game is not over yet!
Is there really a fifth goal? In two games, one player scored five goals by the opponent, maybe he will become a laughing stock for many people?
As he rushed forward, many thoughts flashed through Valdes' mind.
But his movements were not affected by it. He rushed over without hesitation, and then, at the most appropriate position he estimated - two meters away from the two, opened his hands and rushed forward.
Just as he rushed forward, Valdes' eyes widened.
If the camera slow-motion replay was carefully frozen at that moment, it was obvious that there were two expressions in his eyes - surprise and anger.
What was surprised was Liverpool's No. 13 choice in front of him; what was angry was the other party's choice.
Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona's halftime penalty area line.
Zhang Tiehan and Valdes collided, and everyone in the audience, including in front of the TV, watched the two of them confront each other. At the moment Valdes rushed over to save, Zhang Tiehan also chose to shoot. There was nothing wrong with this, but the key thing was that he chose the way to shoot--
Push and shoot...through the crotch!
The football passed between Valdes' legs and rolled straight towards the Barcelona goal. Then, under the gaze of countless people, it rolled over the threshold and into the goal. Then no one paid attention to it, and more people were paying attention to Valdes who was pounced on the grass.
Chapter completed!
