St James Park Stadium.

In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Newcastle United played against Barcelona at home, and was fully prepared. With the cheers of the fans around the pool, players from both sides walked out of the player channel.

The players trot into two rows and entered the stadium.

As the players entered the stadium, the cheers in the stands became louder. There was a tone in the noisy cheers, and you could tell that it was the player's name at any time.

"Zhen Shaolong!"

"Come on Zhen Shaolong!"

After the players of both sides officially entered the court, they stood in a row and face each other.

Opposite Zhen Shaolong was Etoo. He really didn't want to observe the strong man, so he looked around the stands, then waved to the fans, which immediately caused even more intense cheers.

The entire stadium was filled with voices supporting Zhen Shaolong.

Barcelona players couldn't help but look around, and everyone was sighing at Zhen Shaolong's popularity, "This guy is really popular!"

"Even when Ronaldo is the most popular, he is not as good as him, right?"

The support from Camp Nou Stadium is always given to the entire Barcelona, ​​not a single player. The popularity of the opponent even surpasses the entire Newcastle United. It is incredible to think about it.

Looking back two seasons ago, Ronaldinho was also very popular. In the Camp Nou game, fans can occasionally hear the name "Royce", but only a few fans did that, most of them still support the entire Barcelona team. After all, there are many stars in the team, and Ronaldinho's performance is very good, which is not overwhelming.

If Ronaldinho doesn't work, the others are even worse.

The most popular star in Barcelona now is Messi. Messi is Ronaldinho's successor and has been given great expectations by the club and fans. But so far, Messi is still very famous and popular, and has not made much contribution to Barcelona. The support level is still quite different from that of Ronaldinho.

at this time.

Messi looked at the stands around and thought enviously, "It would be great when will I be so popular with fans."

Amid the support from the pool fans around, the players on both sides stood in place.

"Beep~"

The referee's whistle announced the official start of the game.

Newcastle United kicks off.

Martins passed the ball backward to Patton, and then ran forward quickly.

opposite.

Barcelona players stared at Zhen Shaolong. Pique, who was told to keep a guard against Zhen Shaolong in the backcourt, ran forward immediately, trying to rush to Zhen Shaolong for defense, but he soon discovered something strange. The opponent did not rush forward at the first time, but instead retreated more than ten meters and ran to Newcastle United's half.

"What is he doing?"

Not to mention that Barcelona couldn't understand it, Newcastle United's teammates couldn't understand it either. The camera pointed directly at Zhen Shaolong, and his teammates were not clear, so they immediately passed the ball.

Zhen Shaolong received the pass.

When he was kicking off, he got the ball in the middle of the game. The opponent had not reacted yet. Just Etoo ran forward and approached, wanting to come over to put pressure on Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong dribbled forward without any hurry. His speed was very slow, as if he was walking in his own back garden.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Etoo finally couldn't help but rush over. Zhen Shaolong had almost finished calculating the time, so he immediately dribbled the ball and ran forward. After taking a step, the effect of "Roar" could be activated.

"careful!"

Zhen Shaolong roared.

Etoo was shocked by the sound and was stunned for a little unclear.

After Zhen Shaolong activated the skill effect, the football was controlled in front of his body. He ignored the football. The moment he approached Etoo, he did not have any feinting movements. He accelerated and ran to the side, and immediately threw Etoo behind him.

Etoo slowed down and turned his head, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "This guy actually influenced me with his voice!"

"I was still frightened!"

In fact, Zhen Shaolong's roar had no effect at all. It was entirely due to explosive power and speed that passed by Etoo.

Many players who saw Zhen Shaolong dribbling the ball couldn't help but sigh, "This guy's ball control ability is really excellent."

Zhen Shaolong's speed and explosive power of driving the ball seemed to be the same as running without the ball, but the football was steadily controlled in front of the body, reflecting an extremely high ball control level.

After crossing Etoo, Zhen Shaolong rushed forward two steps and immediately met Messi who was rushing to the scene.

Messi stared at the ball under Zhen Shaolong's feet. He planned to try to steal, otherwise he would put pressure on the opponent. Zhen Shaolong seemed to be affected. He slowed down slightly, then waved his foot and kicked the ball towards the left.

He was really kicking hard, and he was also doing fake moves.

The skill effect of "Roar" has not been turned off, and there is still less than a second. Time is very short. It is enough to complete the swing of the foot. He did not take the initiative to turn off the effect, and his skills also played a role immediately. He seemed to have made a mistake and his feet could not be aimed at the ball. If he rubbed the football over, the football would just roll forward a little, and was still in front of his body.

Zhen Shaolong was actually under the force and still hit the ball. However, the system controlled the ball not to roll forward, but his center of gravity still moved a little backward, but no matter how large the center of gravity moved, it was not as big as Messi in front of him.

When Messi saw Zhen Shaolong's pass, he immediately waved his foot to block the left. Because it was an unexpected situation, he was blocking the ball. He did not control the center of gravity and fell to the ground slantedly.

After Zhen Shaolong adjusted his center of gravity, he calmly dribbled the ball from Messi, and then he had no idea of ​​continuing to dribble the ball, so he directly handed the ball to his teammate Milner on the wing.

His series of actions are incomprehensible.

Barcelona players all understand this, "This guy brought the ball for a long time just to break through Etoo or to break through Messi? Messi was indeed shaken."

"He made a mistake just now, right? He didn't want to pass the ball well, who would have thought he would make a mistake..."

"Is it a intentional mistake?"

"It must have been not intentional. How could it be possible to look at his actions? He almost fell down himself."

"But in the end Messi was shaken..."

Messi was really depressed. He was a subconscious reaction when blocking the ball to the side. Unexpectedly, the opponent didn't even get the kick?

Is it intentional?

It would be terrible if it was intentional. The other party's actions were the same as the real one. No one could see through such realistic and fake actions!

"Maybe it's a coincidence?"

This makes me even more depressed.

Coincidence can make yourself shaken, and the opponent can easily drive the ball and continue to move forward. Messi feels that God is unfriendly.

In fact.

Zhen Shaolong didn't take it seriously at all. He was just experimenting with his thoughts to see if the new skills could perform "fake moves". It was like the effect of "Assault", and he couldn't even pass the ball during the process.

The experiment just now proved that "Roar" is OK, but I really didn't plan to pass the ball in advance, but just planned to make fake moves.

This has a little effect.

certainly.

Still useless.

The condition for "Roar" is to control the ball for up to five seconds. It feels like a dream to control the ball in the frontcourt for five seconds in the game.

Anyway, he can't do it.

Newcastle United's first wave of offensive only hit the right penalty area, but was snatched by the opponent's full-back Silvinho, and then Barcelona launched the offensive.

Barcelona still adopts ball-handling tactics. Their playing style has never changed, and they will not even need to make adjustments to their opponents, because ball-handling tactics are both offensive and defensive, and they will always be effective.

Barcelona took advantage of their continuous ball control to take the initiative on the court and launched continuous offensives.

Newcastle United's defense is very tight.

Compared with the previous game, Newcastle United's defense has been more stable, because he has experience against Barcelona and can quickly adapt to home games.

The second is the work results of Kevin Keegan.

Kevin Keegan is an admirer of offensive football, but his success is in teams such as Fulham, Manchester City, and his success experience is also "upgraded" and "relegation". One advantage of coaching small balls is that he will know how to arrange intensive defense to play against top clubs.

Newcastle United on the court now uses the orderly and intensive defense of the small ball in the backcourt to deal with Barcelona's continuous offensive. Their defense is very strict, with people guarding almost every position. The opponent occasionally makes breakthroughs, and players will immediately make up for defense.

The British commentator couldn't help but praise, "Newcastle's defense in the penalty area is very tight."

"This will make Barcelona feel a headache..."

This is the case with football games. If you don’t have to concede a goal if you defend well, you don’t have to concede a goal if you defend well.

In the 13th minute of the game, Messi's diagonal pass found Iniesta who rushed into the penalty area. The latter won the ball and shot to help Barcelona complete the goal.

1 to 0!

Barcelona excitedly celebrated the goal.

"Iniesta, this young player cooperates very well with Messi. He rushed over and just received the ball. No one noticed Newcastle's backcourt, and there will be opponents from the wing to follow..."

"The ball went in! 1-0!"

"Newcastle is a little off in this game..."

In fact, Iniesta's ability to score a goal is not only because of his good performance, but also because of his teammates' tacit cooperation. There is also a relationship of Newcastle United's defense mistake. The player who made the mistake was Gene. He should have taken care of one side, but he went to the middle to pay attention to Etoo, and the other side suddenly missed someone.

certainly.
