Chapter 861 The Villa Park Massacre (Part 1)
"Strange, where did Guardiola go?"
More than one commentator raised this question. The second half had already started for five minutes, and the head coach still did not appear in the coach's bench of the visiting team Barcelona.
At this time, the score on the field is three to one.
Just two minutes into the second half, Barcelona scored a goal.
This is Barcelona's free kick in the frontcourt with a good position. Messi's free kick was of high quality and flew into the blind spot of the goal.
After pulling back a goal, Barcelona saw a glimmer of hope and launched a fierce offensive.
"Critical interception!" shouted John Mortson, "Clement, he can always appear in the most critical position at the most critical moment."
Iniesta broke through to the penalty area and sent out a horizontal cross. Clement went down diagonally and shoveled the ball out with a sliding tackle.
"Counterattack, Aston Villa's counterattack opportunity."
Milner rescued the football before the football went out of the sideline, and then directly sent the ball to Modric.
Modric did not choose to drive the ball himself, but directly passed the ball to launch an attack.
Bale stopped the ball beautifully on the wing, got rid of it, finished it in one go, and then started to speed up and dribble the ball.
He acted as a stance to go down, but passed the ball to Suarez who came to pick up the ball.
Suarez took the ball in the ribs, and Bale inserted it at high speed from behind him, attracting Alves' attention.
Suarez took the opportunity to cut in suddenly, tea into the (not a typo) of the penalty area!
Alves rushed back to defend.
Suarez immediately poked the football to Bale in time.
Bale squirted the football and rushed into the penalty area along the bottom line!
...
"Breakthrough! Beautiful cooperation!"
After seeing Bale break through, Barcelona's goal suddenly became in chaos.
Klose was competing for the position with Mascherano, and the German veteran rushed forward desperately, trying to grab the front point.
Barcelona defenders rushed to Bale in panic, intending to stop him before he passed or shot, and use his body to block the ball out of the baseline.
Bell did not give them the opportunity to form a surround. Before the encirclement was completed, the Welsh swept the left foot and swept the ball towards the goal!
Klose threw his body out and shot.
However, under Mascherano's close-fitting defense, Klose was unable to throw his body completely, and he was unable to touch the football.
In the middle, Mane inserted and directly pushed and shot against the football.
The football flew into Barcelona's goal without any suspense...
Valdes had no time to react, he could only watch the football flew into the ball net AL”
"Four-to-one! Aston Villa quickly pulled the score to three goals again. Mane, this is a very critical goal!"
After scoring the goal, Mane was very excited. He turned around and ran towards Bale who passed the ball for him. The two of them hugged each other tightly.
Off the court, Fang Jue was applauding and cheering for this goal.
At the same time, Fang Jue turned his head and looked at the visiting team coach's seat, and Guardiola still did not show up.
...
One minute later? Guardiola returned to the coaching seat.
His face looked ugly.
He shouted in the bathroom and finally some staff members discovered the situation here.
However, what made Guardiola collapse? The staff told him that the toilet paper in the bathroom was wet for some reason by water.
Guardiola could only wait for a few more minutes? It was only after the staff brought the toilet paper to be rescued.
"I want to complain!" Guardiola said angrily.
"Whatever." The staff ignored him? UEFA did not explicitly stipulate that the bathroom must be sufficient toilet paper at all times.
"This is intentional. I ask that the surveillance be adjusted after the game to see who did it." Guardiola thought that the toilet paper was wet, which was definitely not an accident. It must be a bad guy who wanted to harm him.
"Will your home install surveillance in the bathroom?" Guardiola said something and said nothing.
This is why his bad-faced face came late.
‘One to four?’ Guardiola looked up and looked at the scoreboard. He asked the assistant and learned about the situation. His face became even more ugly.
Although one to four to zero to three is better, although we have to chase two goals, in the case of zero to three, two to three are just equalizing the total score? Three to four can eliminate Aston Villa, but-
Barcelona just scored a goal back? Aston Villa quickly surpassed the score again. This situation shows that Aston Villa's strong offensive ability continues to show off? It is really difficult for Barcelona to chase two more goals without further conceding the ball.
...
Five minutes later? The game ended in fifty-nine minutes, Guardiola couldn't sit still and made substitution adjustments.
Xavi was replaced and Thiago came on as a substitute.
Xavi is Barcelona's midfielder brain, but Xavi was closely guarded by Clement in today's game.
His performance today can only be said to be quite average.
Perhaps this has something to do with Xavi's injury. Given the key to this game, Barcelona's midfielder brain is on the court today with injuries.
In addition, there is another point that Xavi has a yellow card on her body. When Busquets was sent off by a red card, Xavi had to undertake certain defensive tasks, which made Xavi's yellow card very dangerous. Once she was sent off again, Barcelona would be completely out of luck.
Barcelona made adjustments, and Fang Jue immediately responded.
De Bruyne finished the warm-up and Fang Jue called the little guy nicknamed "Ding Ding".
"The score is four to one now, nothing can stop us from advancing, so don't be under pressure."
"I know, boss." De Bruyne was displeased when he heard Fang Jue speak to him in a tone of advice. "This is not the first time I've played in the game."
Fang Jue started to laugh when he heard him talking and saying this, "Yes, you are not a rookie, you are a veteran who has two assists in the Champions League."
De Bruyne scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Harvey was replaced, Fabregas is still on the court. He has a card on his body, telling everyone to make more use of this." Fang Jue said.
De Bruyne nodded, indicating that he understood.
De Bruyne came on as a substitute and replaced veteran Klose.
Mane's position was ahead of the front line, and De Bruyne played in the original position of Mane.
Guardiola saw this substitution in the coaching seat and sweared in a low voice.
Fang Jue is too cunning.
Replace the veteran who consumes more physical strength and replace it with a fast young man. This is to see that Barcelona must push out so that they can fight Barcelona's counterattack.
Guardiola seemed very impatient...
He stood up from the coach's mat from time to time and walked to the sidelines.
Sometimes I may look up to see the scores of the big screen, then look at the time on the watch, or I may turn my head and communicate with my assistant.
...
"Pep, have you noticed that the referee (restored) is normal."
Guardiola snorted, and of course he also noticed that after the second half of the game began, the referee seemed to no longer favor Aston Villa or deliberately targeted Barcelona.
The current law enforcement standards can be said to be relatively fair.
However, Guardiola would not be grateful. In his opinion, this is more like the referee "completed the task in the first half" and believed that he could have been able to advance aston Villa, so he restored the so-called fairness.
In Guardiola's opinion, Aston Villa's second goal and third goal were both problematic, especially the third goal and that penalty kick, which was simply out of nothing. He could hardly imagine that such a shameful punishment would occur in Langlang Qiankun.
In my impression, it can be said to be "comparable" to the 2002 World Cup.
...
As time passes by minute by second, Barcelona's offense still fails to achieve any results.
On the contrary, Aston Villa's counterattack was exciting.
The 69th minute of the game.
Aston Villa made a quick counterattack.
After Mane got the ball from the side, he suddenly cut inward and shot.
Valdes saved the ball and hit Mascherano's forehead, rebounded and hit the crossbar again before leaving the bottom line.
Aston Villa's corner kick.
Guardiola was shocked. If this ball was scored again, Barcelona would be completely finished if they were four goals behind.
At the same time, Guardiola was also helpless. He felt that the team's luck today was simply terrible. Mane's shot was not too threatening, and Valdes' hand shape was obviously wrong when he saved the ball.
Of course, he saved the football at least, but he almost headed the ball by Mascherano again.
...
Gareth Bale stood at the corner kick point and was about to take the corner kick.
This made Valdes a little nervous.
As we all know, Barcelona players are generally not tall. In the past, they had to defend air defense mainly by Pique and Busquets. Now, Busquets has been sent off with red cards, with Pique only one high point, and their air defense capabilities have been further weakened.
Bale took the corner kick.
Suarez grabbed the front point, and Pique followed him tightly.
This is also one of Aston Villa's corner kick tactics.
Pique was induced away.
The football drove to the back point, where Papastasopoulos headed the ball directly.
The defender was Puyol. The Barcelona captain was experienced and found this landing point. Almost as Papastasopoulos took off, Puyol followed suit.
However, after all, he is a veteran who is about to turn 34 years old. He was directly suppressed by Papastasopoulos and completed the header.
Valdes felt that his right hand touched the football, but to his despair, he had no power to stop the football from moving forward.
The football flew into the ball net and rolled up the snow-white ball net aaaaaal!"
Chapter completed!
