Chapter 54 First record

There was no goal, but Wood was not upset. He turned around and ran back, slapped the high fives with Arteta who was covering him on the way. Ronaldinho looked at the man and found that his face was as quiet as water, with no fluctuations at all.

What was he thinking? He didn't think it was a pity if the ball was not scored? Or... he thought he still had a chance to threaten Barcelona's goal again?

If you really think so, you're a big mistake!

Valdes drove the ball out, and after Etoo received the ball, he passed it to Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian is the core of Barcelona. He just received the ball and George Wood leaned on it.

"It's not surprising that George Wood is responsible for defending Ronaldinho. If there is anyone in the Forest who can cause some trouble for Ronaldinho, it might be the No. 13 in front of him.

This is Wood’s first defense against Ronaldinho in the game! In the final of last year’s Champions League, Wood missed the showdown with the current first midfielder due to accumulating yellow cards!”

Of course, Ronaldinho knew that George Wood became famous by defending, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy when facing Wood's frontal defense.

After trying to make a fake move, Ronaldinho found that the person on the other side was unmoved at all. He frowned and passed the ball to Messi who was on the side.

Messi was responsible for it, so Wood did not follow him to join in the fun. He continued to follow Ronaldinho not far away, his eyes watching the Brazilian's movements at any time.

Messi fought against Forest's left-back Gareth Bale on the right side, and Etoo has inserted into the penalty area and is ready to grab the spot.

It seems that Barcelona wants to pass the ball on the wing and grab the spot in the middle.

Just as the players in Nottingham Forest were all focusing on their defensive attention in front of the goal, Messi made a fake shot, but then passed the ball back to Ronaldinho in the middle.

Ronaldinho wanted to stop the ball and shoot directly from a long shot immediately, but when he just stopped the ball, he saw George Wood appearing in front of him like a ghost!

The foot of the original swing was ready to shoot at this time, but it became a huge flaw, because Ronaldinho briefly lost control of the ball.

George Wood seized the opportunity and stabbed the ball under the Brazilian's feet!

"Beautiful steal! It seems that Ronaldinho has met his strong rival!"

Ronaldinho was a little surprised. He thought that his pretense of breaking inward and receiving had deceived the man in front of him, but he didn't expect that he had just withdrawn from receiving Messi's pass and was targeted by him again.

This is the second time he has tasted this kind of taste this season - the first time was in the away game against Chelsea in the group stage, where he was seen by the opponent's Dutch defender Bolaruz, who had nowhere to be used.

In that game, Mourinho asked Bolaruz to force Ronaldinho into close proximity. He even used fouls to interrupt Ronaldinho's pace of getting the ball.

This tactic was very successful. In that game, Barcelona's soul could not play any role, and the European champion last season also lost to Chelsea.

In this game, it seems that Donn plans to copy Mourinho's tactics, but the one he used to guard Ronaldinho is George Wood, who has a more fierce defense, better physical strength and better physical fitness.

The commentator said nothing. Ronaldinho encountered a difficult opponent this time.

Because during the first match between the two sides, George Wood was suspended for accumulating yellow cards. In that game, Ronaldinho galloped across the frontcourt of Nottingham Forest and performed with ease. No one could pose any threat to him.

If the Brazilian still plays this game with experience from the previous game, Don En believes that he will suffer.

After breaking the ball, Wood passed the football to Arteta, and he did not follow up and participate in the attack again. Instead, he was honestly waiting for defense.

"George Wood is a defensive star who rose from Nottingham Forest, his career is full of legendary experiences.

Due to his stable and excellent performance in the team, he has been selected for the England national team and has been to Germany as one of the twenty-three players.

Unfortunately, Erikson believes more in big-name players, such as Gerald and Lampard. As young people who participated in the World Cup for the first time, Wood did not get a minute of playing time.

"The Spanish commentator is introducing the young man who is a little unfamiliar to them to the Spanish audience. "But looking at his current performance, it should be only a matter of time before he becomes the main force of England in the future."

When the commentator introduced Wood, Nottingham Forest was attacking, and Ronaldinho did not run back to participate in the defense. He stayed in place like George Wood. He frowned and looked at the young man not far ahead.

Through these two head-on confrontations, he could already give George Wood a simple judgment in his heart.

Excellent physical fitness. He moves quickly and decisively. He is calm and steady, and will not be fooled easily. Once he makes up his mind, he will never give up halfway... Such a midfielder is indeed difficult to deal with.

He reminded himself of the current head coach of the Brazilian national team, former captain Dunga.

It seems that I need to change my strategy.

Facing such a person, if you want to get more balls, it will definitely not work if you dribble more. As a result, you will either be cut off or encounter a foul. This will obviously interrupt the team's offensive rhythm. What is the most effective way?

Pass the ball.

Ronaldinho decided to reduce the number of times he dribbled and held the ball, and pass the ball as much as possible, and try to pass it with one kick if possible.

After Barcelona moved in at Rijcard, they have gradually formed a set of their own offensive tactics. Now they are getting better, with the players' lineup stable and tacit cooperation. Ronaldinho believes that it is not difficult to do this.

Now is a good time for Barcelona to create a new dynasty, how could it be at the foot of a small back?

Nottingham Forest's offense was taken by Valdes, and he threw the ball and launched a counterattack. Barcelona immediately changed from defense to offense. Barcelona may not have much troops when defending, but they are definitely not short of people rushing up during attack.

The football pass was passed to Ronaldinho again.

This time, Wood still rushed forward, and Ronaldinho looked at Wood's right side, as if he was about to break through from there.

When he saw Wood's center of gravity obviously tilted to the other side, he suddenly passed the football to the other side! Wood did not react. He stayed in place and watched the football fly over the other side.

This is exactly the "speaking east and hitting west" passing that Ronaldinho is good at.

Seeing this scene, the Catalan narrator was excited: "Ronaldinho's pass deceived George Wood! This is the real football elf! He was just warming up just now... he did a pretty job!"

Donn saw Ronaldinho performing like this on the sidelines and just shrugging. He was even happy that Ronaldinho did this, because the Brazilian who could not dribble and did not dare to dribble lost the general threat.

No matter how beautiful the pass is, you need teammates to cooperate. If you, Ronaldinho, is in good shape, you cannot guarantee that everyone in Barcelona will be in good shape.

George Wood completed the task he gave him very well.

This kid is growing up every day. Facing the world's number one midfielder today, he is not timid at all, and he is calm and composed as if he is on the training ground.

Although he turned him from a porter to a professional player, these specific things were the result of Chris Lark and Albertini's continuous efforts.

He is very glad that he has these good helpers around him who can help him, the "Two Knife" coach, get to where he is today.

Albertini leaned over and sat down next to Donn.

The two did not talk, but just looked at each other and turned their attention to the court again.

Ronaldinho's pass was to Messi. Barcelona's intention in this game was obvious: if Ronaldinho encounters trouble in the middle, the offensive focus will be shifted to Messi's side.

Because the person in charge of the defense on Nottingham Forest is Gareth Bale, who is young and less than twenty years old.

Rijcard and the entire Barcelona coaching staff studied the game video of Nottingham Forest and believed that Bale was a typical "high-profile and light-defense" full-back, and he liked to assist.

And he won't come back immediately after the assist is up, so that he will create a lot of room behind him and will be used by Barcelona.

Rijkaard and his coaching staff will study, won’t Don’t?

Of course, Donn knew Bale's characteristics - attack is stronger than defense. Then why didn't he defend more lyton and Barnes. Instead, he used Bale? It's very simple. Donn needs Bale's offensive and set-piece skills.

However, in order to make up for his defensive shortcomings, Donn asked Bale not to rush to attack within fifteen minutes after the game began, but to focus on defense and withstand Barcelona's repeated attacks using their home momentum.

Now, according to the situation on the court, Donnn's arrangement is very correct. Barcelona has been attacking Bale's sideways continuously after the start of the game. If Bale still puts in assists, Forest's defense will definitely be sieve by Barcelona.

During normal games, George Wood can come to make up for the gap after Bale beats. Today, it won’t work, and his task is heavier.

Messi is much more famous than Bale, the latter is just a little famous locally, and the former can be labeled as the "Successor of King of Football Maradona" - although this label is very cheap in Argentina, in the 2006 Germany, it also made many appearances as the "Successor of King of Football" at the World Cup.

But Messi is currently recognized as the most likely player to reach Maradona's level.

Bale faced the famous Barcelona player. He didn't dare to be careless at all. He kept in mind Done's instructions to him before the game: "...Defense is something you need to concentrate on doing well in the early stages of the game, be careful of Messi."

Ronaldinho's side is currently unable to operate. Messi has taken on the heavy responsibility of Barcelona's offense. Facing Bale, who is slightly nervous, he seems at ease. After all, he is a person who has seen big scenes...

Messi controlled his rhythm and deliberately lowered the speed to attract Bale to come up to defend. Then, taking advantage of the moment Bale leaning forward, he suddenly spiked the ball and got rid of it!

Bale never expected Messi to break through so quickly. He was caught off guard and turned around hastily, but his feet slipped and fell to the ground!

Just as the Catalan commentator was about to shout: "Messi broke through the defense of Nottingham Forest", Messi was blocked by one person.

When we saw clearly who that person was, the Catalan narrator was silent for a few seconds.

The man in front of Messi is not George Wood, who can't run away, but an outstanding player in Barcelona's youth training camp, the main central defender of the Spanish national youth team, and the grandson of former Barcelona vice president - Pique.

"Pique, once the pride on the back line of Ramacia, now...our opponent."

When Messi was not a supernova with a great reputation in world football, he and Pique played in the same youth team. At that time, they were teammates, and Fabregas was with them.

Both personal relationships are good, and after training, they also talk about their future ideals. Play for Barcelona and win all the championships for Barcelona. Almost all the dreams of Lamacia's teenagers at that time.

Although Messi is a very talented player, how many people have no talent to be able to enter the main lineup of Barcelona youth team? Is Fabregas, who has become the new core in Arsenal, less talent than Messi?

And the one in front of you...Pi Kui.

Messi was in a daze, but immediately returned to his calm eyes. He seemed to see Piku smiling at him, and his expression seemed to be saying: "Come on. Boy. Just like we were on the training ground in Lamacia... Let me guard you!"

Messi slowed down slightly to protect the ball. He is now on the edge of the penalty area. As long as he breaks through inward, Pi Kui will never dare to act rashly.

Piku aimed halfway at Messi. He was ready to turn around at any time. He knew Messi's strength and knew how powerful this kid who had dwarfism since childhood was.

Messi made a fake move to cross, hoping to trick Piku into losing his center of gravity. But Piku was unmoved and continued to turn halfway. He lowered his center of gravity and stared at the ball under Messi's feet.

Messi suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eyes that Bale, who was just shook by him, was getting up and chasing him back. He realized that Pique in front of him was just bluffing. His real purpose was to delay time and wait for Bale to attack him in front of him. He decided not to waste time with Pique here, but to force a breakthrough!

Messi dialed the ball and broke inward with a diagonal line. Pikui then started. He leaned his body up, intending to stop Messi from accelerating.

At this moment, Messi suddenly spiked the ball and stopped urgently, and wanted to change direction and break through from behind Pikui!

Almost at the same time, Pi Kui also stopped urgently, steadily on the ground, turning around quickly. He stretched out his right foot to tackle!

Messi saw a leg suddenly appear in front of him. It was too late to react, and the football was stopped by Pikui. He fell in the penalty area due to inertia!

A huge boo sounded in the stands of Camp Nou, and they wanted the referee to give a penalty. But the landlords saw the whole process clearly on the penalty area line. Pikui's defensive movements were neat and there was no foul at all.
To be continued...
