Chapter 56: It's really strong

Defence is easy for George Wood.

"George Wood headed the ball to clear! Barcelona's corner kick did not pose any threat to the Forest goal!"

"Why did Tony Donn feel confident about this game before the game? I think it's related to his current possession of George Wood who can play.

Wood has fully demonstrated his ability in the Premier League, but Barcelona is obviously a little unfamiliar with him…”

The commentator was praising Wood, while Ronaldinho was thinking about how to get rid of the annoying object in front of him.

At this stage, when Barcelona counterattacked, George Wood followed the Brazilian like a shadow, wherever Ronaldinho went. Since he was rid of it once, Wood has been in a row.

Now, Ronaldinho can only organize the attack by passing the ball.

Try to get as few balls as possible and use as many shots as possible. This is Ronaldinho's current countermeasure.

Is there nothing I can do about this?

Just kidding, who is Ronaldinho and what team is Barcelona? If you are so stubborn because of George Wood, would you be so sensible?

Rijcard was biting his finger and thinking about countermeasures. Ronaldinho is the core of the team, and almost all attacks are surrounding him. If he is frozen by George Wood, how should the team's offense be adjusted?

Twenty-five minutes passed, and the score on the field was still 1:0, and the away team Nottingham Forest temporarily led.

Barcelona is still ongoing offense, without any intention of slacking off because of the successive attacks.

Tony Donn obviously underestimated Barcelona's energy. They were depressed after returning without a few times. On the contrary, they are now very motivated, threatening the Forest's penalty area over and over again.

In the eyes of Barcelona, ​​this is a great shame, how could they give up by the opponent who doesn't want to lose at home?

Ronaldinho discovered that George Wood had no intention of leaving him to defend others, so he suddenly came up with a plan.

Xavi passed the ball up, and the Brazilian turned his back to George Wood and transferred the ball to Deco, while he ran sideways. George Wood did follow.

Ronaldinho took George Wood away, and the forest team's middle road in front of the penalty area was immediately empty. At this time, Xavi inserted it in time. Deco quickly passed the ball to him. In front of the Forest team's penalty area, without Wood, there would be much less trouble.

Xavi made a move to pass the ball across the side, but suddenly shot!

Van der Sar reacted quickly and flew to grab the football.

Although this attack still did not break through the Forest's goal, Barcelona players have seen hope - Ronaldinho no longer serves as the offensive core, but he can distract Barcelona from the defensive focus as long as he is.

George Wood is where. Once George Wood is pulled out, Barcelona will be under much pressure from the frontal attack. Let's take a look at Xavi's shot just now.

Rijkaard stood up from his seat and applauded Harvey's long shot just now. The team did it very well.

George Wood stood beside Ronaldinho and looked back at Van der Sar who was getting up from the ground.

He knew that he had just been out of his defense zone by Ronaldinhola, and then caused the opponent's long-range shot. He knew.

But what can happen? Next time I am unmoved to face this situation, stay in place and wait for the opponent to make a long shot? Barcelona players are not fools, they will definitely pass the ball to Ronaldinho, who is unmarked.

Is this a dilemma multiple-choice question?

George Wood didn't know. The boss asked him to freeze Ronaldinho, so he would freeze Ronaldinho... As for the others, give it to his teammates. He is not an omnipotent God, and he can cover all the defensive tasks by himself.

Which is more dangerous, Ronaldinho or other Barcelona players? George Wood chose the former.

As a result, Barcelona's offense became Ronaldinho and Wood were taking Wood around the circle, constantly passing through triangles to create opportunities for his teammates, and he had almost no other function except for passing quickly.

Xavi and Iniesta became the team's real offensive organizers, Etoo was trapped in the forest's densely compressed defensive team, and Messi became the most active striker.

Gareth Bale has to focus all his energy on defense. It is still a bit difficult to deal with Messi, and this person is too threatening on the wing.

"Messi drifted past Bale, beautiful... He suddenly looked like a penalty area! He shot! He was blocked by Pikui! It was so dangerous!"

"Messi dribbled horizontally, Bale is following him...foul! Barcelona got a free kick from the front of the penalty area. This position is very good. Ronaldinho came up to take the penalty - he finally saw him again...ah, it's a pity, he flew out of the baseline while rubbing the crossbar!"

...

Such situations continued to happen in the second half of the first half.

Tang En couldn't sit still anymore.

He stood up from his seat, walked out and walked back.

"Tony..." Chris Lack looked up at Don standing in front of the coach's seat.

"I don't know if this is Rijcalde's idea..." Donn turned his head and looked at the Barcelona coaching seat next door and said. "Sacrifice Ronaldinho and drag George out of the battle. They lost Ronaldinho.

There is also Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Deco... It's really a ghost! Those who freeze others are frozen by others..."

Hearing Tang En say this, Tang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and there were still fifteen minutes left before the end of the first half.

Pique was shouting on the court, asking his teammates to devote themselves to the defensive work. George Wood was entangled by Ronaldinho, and the team's defense needed everyone to help.

After all, Barcelona's offense is really powerful. A slight negligence may lead to a loss of the ball.

"Or... let Wood give up on his sightings against Ronaldinho for the time being?" Chris Lack said.

His suggestion was rejected by Donn on the spot: "No, Ronaldinho is an extremely dangerous person and cannot relax his defense.

I would rather sacrifice George... At worst, we can't be 10v10! Our defense is not just George, we will be paralyzed without George. Pique did a good job, he was in good shape today."

"Get back to Barcelona to fight, make him a little excited..." Chris Lak said.

"Hold on the remaining fifteen minutes, let's consider what adjustments to make during the halftime break..." Tang En turned around and returned to the sidelines. This game is not easy to play...

Everyone could see that Barcelona was attacking like a tide, threatening the goal of Nottingham Forest one after another. If they were lucky, they might have already broken through the gate of Van der Sar.

Donn adopted a strategy of shrinking the defense to prevent Etoo's speed, but in this way, it left Barcelona with too much room to move at the front of the penalty area.

Barcelona players passed back and forth in this area, mobilizing the Forest's defense line, and then suddenly passed to the side when the Forest's players focused their attention on one point. Etoo had already left the middle.

After moving to the wing activity, he and Messi were on the left and the other on the right, ready to catch the ball and cut inside at any time.

A sudden pass in front of the penalty area was a move that Barcelona was very good at. The Forest had to increase all his attention to prevent such penetrating passes. Once the football was passed through, it would almost be a bad situation for the opponent and goalkeeper Van der Sar one-on-one.

We cannot expect Van der Sar to attack in time to resolve the crisis every time.

Ronaldinho became the center forward. He appeared in the middle again and again, attracting the attention of George Wood and others, and then suddenly pulled away to create opportunities for others.

Time passes minute by minute, and it will still be frozen above 1:0.

Rijkald also got up from the coach's seat and walked to the sidelines.

For him, you can't take this score to rest, as that would be a blow to morale. If possible, try to equalize the score before the end of the first half. This is a good way to hit the morale of the Forest.

Rijkaard, who was standing on the sidelines, kept telling the players on the court with gestures. Let them press up and then press up, and an offensive frenzy will be set off at the last moment.

Tang En yelled loudly on the other side to make the players pay attention to defense. He also knew that it was best not to lose points before the end of the first half.

George Wood could not tolerate Ronaldinho pulling him out of the defense zone again, and then watched his opponent rage at the front of the penalty area.

When the football was passed to Ronaldinho again, he chose to suddenly go around the front from the back to defend.

Ronaldinho did not expect George Wood to move so quickly. All he could do now is not to pass the ball out, but how to protect the ball from being snatched and directly counterattacked.

Seeing Wood hitting his body from the back, Ronaldinho cleverly chose to fall forward. George Wood hit again and poked the football off, but heard the referee blew the whistle and he fouled!

"George Wood made a foul! Ronaldinho protected the football well, and Barcelona now got a direct free kick about 20 meters away from the goal.

This may be an opportunity. Ronaldinho had a free kick just slightly above the crossbar.

George Wood felt a little wronged. When he played in the English League, he had many such defenses. Even if he pushed the opponent to the ground, the referee rarely boasted that he was foul.

But he did not come forward to the referee, and this was not the job he was good at.

He imitated Albertini. Standing in front of the football, preventing Barcelona from driving the ball out in advance.

However, he was obviously too concerned. The Barcelona man had no intention of taking the opportunity to attack. The players were running forward. Ronaldinho and Deco stood in front of the ball, quietly watching the forest team lined up, waiting for the referee to blew the whistle.

Seeing that they had no intention of kicking off immediately, Wood also retreated. He did not participate in the wall. He stood on the other side and stared at Messi.

Deco stood in front of the autumn and was bowing his head and discussing with Ronaldinho how to play the ball.

Harvey was crowded in the Forest's wall, intending to use this place as a breakthrough. The Forest's players were trying to push him out. Some physical contact occurred between the two sides, and the referee ran over to mediate.

The result of the mediation was that Harvey naturally occupied a place on the far left side of the human wall of Nottingham Forest.

Deco retreated, he had no intention of playing this ball. Now everyone's eyes were focused on Ronaldinho. This was a direct free kick. He could choose to shoot directly or pass the ball... But would he choose to pass the ball?

No.

Ronaldinho retreated and opened the run-up distance.

George Wood looked at Ronaldinho with one eye and glanced at Messi beside him to prevent the kid from taking the opportunity to shoot.

Throughout the first half, Ronaldinho was frozen by George Wood. In addition to a wonderful personal breakthrough, he had the annoying fly around him at any time, buzzing and annoying.

Now, there is no George Wood around him, he can sway his legs comfortably and do his movements.

He looked at the human wall in Nottingham Forest, then looked at the goalkeeper Van der Sar, then looked at the landlord referee, and finally turned his attention to George Wood in the crowd.

Seeing Wood standing next to Messi, a smile appeared on his face.

Now... you can't stop me.

"Ronaldinho smiled confidently! This happy football elf must be in his best condition when he smiles! Let us quietly appreciate his performance..."

Out of importance, Nottingham Forest lined up a front wall of six people. Xavi, wearing a red and blue Barcelona jersey, appeared on the left side of the wall like a gap in the wall.

Forest players are putting pressure on him, intending to squeeze Xavi out as soon as Ronaldinho hits the ball and quickly fill the gap.

They did this, Ronaldinho shot the football, Xavi was like running next to him, and the Forest's wall immediately broke from the middle, half of them stayed in place to jump to prevent the football from easily passing over their heads, and the other half squeezed to the left, sealing the space caused by Xavi's departure - they thought Ronaldinho would definitely shoot the football here, otherwise Xavi would squeeze in and do what?

But they all made mistakes. The football did not fly to the left of the human wall, but went straight through the middle and passed between the two halves of the human wall!

Van der Sar was blocked from his sight, and he didn't expect Ronaldinho to shoot the football from this place, and he couldn't save it. He watched the football bypass his hand and flew into the goal!

"Wonderful goal - Ronaldinho! The King of Barcelona!"

Camp Nou instantly heard thunderous cheers and applause, and Rijkald raised his arms and jumped up from the ground.

On the other side, Tony Tang En waved his hand fiercely, but the disappointed expression on his face flashed.

Although I was a little disappointed, it was indeed expected to concede the ball.

Barcelona players celebrated freely on the court, and Van der Sar picked up the football from the net and kicked it to the frontcourt.

George Wood turned his head and looked at Ronaldinho surrounded by Barcelona players, then turned around and ran to the center circle.
