Chapter 116: Big Gamble

,

spn is indeed a bit risky, Guardiola also knows this, but at this moment, he can't care so much. If he accepts the first half with a lagging score, the situation in the second half will be even less optimistic.

Moreover, Barcelona's young coach Guardiola believes that no team can still attack in the face of Barcelona's full attack. He has this confidence in his team's offensive ability.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Iniesta and Xavi played a one-two on the wing, and then Iniesta ground the ball into the penalty area.

The football is close to the turf, and the ball speed is extremely fast on the slippery field.

Messi raised his right foot and made a motion to stop the ball, which confused O'Shea, but allowed the ball to roll past his feet.[

Then from behind, Henry, like a golf club, directed the football towards the center of the penalty area!

Eto'o suddenly broke out, shook off Vidic beside him, and volleyed directly!

After the football was pounced by Van der Sar, it flew back to the penalty area. Messi flew up and immediately shot an overhead kick, and the football missed slightly.

"——It's a little bit worse, Messi's overhead shot! It was already rare for Van der Sar to save Eto'o's shot before. In this attack, Barcelona showed extremely beautiful offensive coordination."

The commentators marveled, and at the same time they were shouting in their hearts, it was so exciting, the two teams didn't recognize each other, this was the final of the Champions League.

At this time, on the rostrum of Rome's Olympic Stadium, next to Platini, Cruyff's solemn face improved after the opening. This is the Barcelona he is familiar with, or that is what he hopes to see.

Barcelona!

At Camp Nou, Cruyff broke the old football model and implanted a style that pursued beauty and artistry into the team. He is also considered the true godfather of Barcelona. More importantly, he made Catalonia

Asians are excited and proud that Cruyff's Barcelona's artistic football can still bring results.

Nowadays, although Cruyff's "Dream Team" era has long become the memory of fans, his "Dream Team" football philosophy still continues to promote artistic football. Today's Spanish national team has also benefited.

In terms of Cruyff's football philosophy, whether in terms of personnel or tactics, the Spanish national team has the shadow of Barcelona.

After completing the overhead shot, Messi got up from the ground and found the referee Busacca, where he loudly argued that he thought Manchester United's Park Ji-sung fouled him when he took the overhead shot just now!

The big screen also showed the slow motion just now. When Messi took the overhead shot, Park Ji-sung did hit the Argentinian from behind. This may be the reason why the overhead shot missed the empty goal.

However, the referee Busacca ignored Messi's appeal. He did not see Park Ji-sung's foul action, so it did not count.

This aroused strong dissatisfaction with Barcelona coach Guardiola on the sidelines. He shouted at the referee Busacca. Busacca was not ambiguous at all this time and immediately rushed to the sidelines and gave Barcelona coach Guardiola a

A yellow card is a warning.

Seeing this yellow card, fans and commentators supporting Manchester United all over the world were very excited. They could clearly see the impatience of the Barcelona coach through the picture, so didn't Manchester United have a chance?

Barcelona's attack just now nearly scored, and it also made the Manchester United players break out in a cold sweat.

Ferguson made a gesture on the sidelines. When the first half was about to end with two minutes left, Manchester United, which was leading by one goal, began to launch a defensive counterattack! In other words, the defense shrank greatly.

In the frontcourt, only Li Yu and Rooney were left, while Ronaldo was roaming the midfield, sometimes appearing behind them, and then preparing to launch a quick counterattack. In the first half of today's game, the Portuguese's position was very erratic and the threat was great.

.

At this time, an electronic sign indicating the first half of the game and one minute of injury time was also raised on the sidelines.

Faced with Manchester United's full recovery, Barcelona didn't have a good solution. They moved back and forth in front of the penalty area, hoping to find an opportunity to attack and score.

Facing Carrick, Xavi suddenly made a diagonal ground ball and the ball reached Messi's feet.

Messi knocked the football forward and then accelerated with the ball. He first made a change of direction while dribbling the ball at high speed and broke through Evra. Then facing Giggs who was attracted by him, he suddenly used his toes to

Poke, the football rolled into the penalty area very fast against the slippery turf![

Such a very fast pass, especially on such a slippery court, the Manchester United defender did not dare to touch the ball, because as long as it touched it, it might enter the net. Ferdinand, who was defending at the front point, could only

He firmly blocked Henry's position next to him, preventing him from having a chance to touch the football.

But at the back point, Vidic originally thought that he had firmly stuck in this position, but he did not expect that Eto'o was behind him, stretched out a kick from between his legs, and swept the football directly.

Sweeping towards the goal, he also shoveled Vidic to the ground.

No one could stop the ball from rolling into the goal. No one thought that Eto'o had been stuck and could still complete the shot...

"goooooooooooool!!!!" the ESPN commentator shouted in English. "A crucial goal!! From the cheetah Eto'o! He used an incredible shot to hit the football into the net... They

Now it’s 1:1, equalizing the score! This is a golden goal! Barcelona readjusted the balance of the game from the tilted side in the last minute of the first half!”

Vidic got up in a rage and signaled to the Swiss referee Busaca that Eto'o had fouled him before shooting!

However, the referee ignored him and Busaca's gesture could not have been clearer. The goal was valid and Manchester United kicked off from the center circle.

At this time, Barcelona players were already celebrating the goal crazily.

The Roma Olympique players have already sounded Spanish celebrations!

Vidic looked furious. He asked the referee loudly, "He shoveled my foot! He shoveled my foot first from behind! This is a foul! Before the goal, there was already a foul..."

The referee Busaca shook his finger and still ignored Vidic's protest. Other Manchester United players also gathered around. The equalizer at this time was really a blow to the Manchester United players. Moreover, this

The ball was conceded and there was suspicion of a foul first.

An angry Rooney rushed over and shouted, "Is he blind? I knew it would be like this!"

Li Yusheng was afraid that the referee would hear Rooney yelling like this and send him off. He quickly hugged the little fat man and dragged him away. However, the referee Busaca obviously had good hearing and he pushed away the crowd.

, walked in front of Rooney in three steps and two steps at a time, then took out a yellow card from his pocket and flashed it towards Rooney...

Rooney was obviously completely irritated by this yellow card. The little fat man wanted to protest loudly. Li Yu dared to let this little fat man get angry again. He quickly put his arms around Rooney's neck and took him away. Giggs also came up quickly.

Explaining something to the referee.

"What the hell!" Ferguson punched the ceiling of the coaching bench and made a bang. The goal conceded at this time was simply too frustrating, and it was such a controversial goal.

Ferguson argued loudly to the fourth official, and just in time to see Busaca showing Rooney a yellow card, the old Scottish man's face became unusually gloomy.

At this time, the big screen began to replay Eto'o's goal just now, and the commentators also expressed their opinions on this goal.

"Eto'o made a shovel shot from behind. He almost shoveled the football and also knocked Vidic to the ground. It's hard to say about this goal. The key depends on the referee Busaca's intention. If Busaca scores a penalty,

If the ball fouled first, then there would be no Barcelona equalizing goal. However, what we see is that Barcelona’s goal is valid and the score is 1:1! Of course, this only means that this penalty is controversial, but it is also

It’s not about misjudgment, the key lies in the referee’s penalty scale.”

Manchester United fans certainly don't think so. They certainly think that Eto'o committed a foul before shooting and the goal should be cancelled. Now that the goal is valid, Rooney also received a yellow card for protesting to the referee. Roma

A wave of boos erupted from the stands of Manchester United fans at the Olympic Stadium.

At this time, without waiting for the Manchester United team to kick-off from the center circle, referee Busaca blew the whistle to end the first half.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United 1:1 Barcelona!

Although it was a draw, there was still a difference in the morale of the players on both sides at this time. Barcelona equalized the score and were in high spirits, while Manchester United conceded goals after the first half, which had an impact to some extent.

The players' emotions were going up and down, and they didn't know what the scene would be like in the second half.

In the players' corridor, Messi, who was walking next to Li Yu, suddenly turned and said to Li Yu, "loshnosesgrror". He was speaking in Spanish, and Li Yu didn't understand.[

However, seeing Messi's shy smile, he thought it was not a bad word, so Li Yu politely replied, 'thnkyou.'

Back in the dressing room, Li Yu asked Ronaldo, what does 'loshnosesgrror' mean? Ronaldo, who was changing his jersey with the jersey covering his head, said in a buzzing voice, "Chinese people are great, what's wrong?"

"That's it." Li Yu smiled. It seemed that he was right in saying "thank you" just now.

Regarding Messi, Li Yu has always regarded the Argentinian as a competitor. Now he may still be slightly behind, but when he heard his opponent's recognition, Li Yu didn't think it was a shameful thing. On the contrary,

He was very happy to hear his opponent's recognition, but Li Yu secretly swore that the next time he had the opportunity to fight like this, what he heard was not recognition, but that his opponent's son was inferior, although it seemed a bit difficult to do so.

, but he still has one summer of special training time, so he can definitely do it, and he has this confidence.

Everyone was busy changing their jerseys. In today's game, the players made various moves on the relatively slippery field. Many players had stains from the green grass on their bodies.

Li Yu changed his jersey and was watching Giggs reprimanding the little fat guy for the so-called yellow card he received for protesting in the first half of the game. At this time, Ferguson came in.

"Okay, come here! Let's seize the time to arrange the tactical arrangements for the second half. As for the importance of the game, time is running out. I don't want to repeat it again. You all should know better than me!" Ferguson knocked on the tactical board and signaled everyone

Calm down, "I won't blame you for Barcelona's goal after the first half. However, you don't have to think about whether the goal was a foul. If it's a goal, it's a goal. It doesn't have any meaning anymore.

Well, since that shit referee has ruled that the goal is valid, then it is valid!"

Hearing Ferguson say this, some people wanted to laugh. It is estimated that when the referee ruled that the goal was valid, the old man wanted to strangle the referee.

"Although I don't blame you for conceding the ball, in the second half of the game, defenders! Listen up! Everyone must pay attention and assume their responsibilities! In the second half, as long as you are 35 meters away from the goal, you will do whatever it takes.

Pay the price to intercept!" Ferguson said with murderous intent, giving the impression that if he were on the pitch, it would be as if the Barcelona players' legs would be broken off.

"Don't forget! We are here for the championship! Barcelona is not your opponent!! Defeat them!!"

Feeling the momentum and murderous intent in the old man's words, everyone was lifted up. This was exactly the effect Ferguson wanted. After the first half, they were equalized. The team was a little depressed now, and the players must be relieved.

The fire was aroused.

"In terms of offense, within ten minutes of the start of the second half, our opponent Barcelona will launch a fierce attack, so during this period, our offense is mainly defensive and counterattack. It will be good if we can seize the opportunity to score goals.

However, first of all, we must not concede the ball, and then, after the Spaniard's offensive wave passes, what I want is to attack! A fierce attack! Use your attack to destroy the Barcelona people!! Tell them! Let them

Look what Manchester United's offense looks like!!!!"

Li Yu's heart boiled with excitement when he heard this. He is a shooter, and the tactics Ferguson is deploying are his favorite offensive tactics, which are more conducive to his own advantages.

"Li Yu!!"

Hearing Ferguson calling him, Li Yu immediately raised his head and looked at the old Scottish man.

"In the second half, you have to run more actively and expand your range of activities. At the same time, in the second half of the game, Cristiano, you have to use your skills to attract more attention from Barcelona's defense."

Li Yu and Ronaldo both nodded and replied in unison, "I know, boss."

Then, Ferguson gave Rooney a few more words, which made the little fat man's impact stronger in the second half.

In short, in Ferguson's view, Barcelona's offense is certainly very threatening, but compared with the offense, Barcelona's defense is their biggest weakness, with frequent loopholes. As long as Manchester United can withstand Barcelona's start of the second half

When the attack is strong and the position is stable, the team can completely attack and use attack to attack, using Manchester United's attack to suppress Barcelona's attack!

Facing a team with super offensive power like Barcelona, ​​it simply won't work to just defend.

During the 15 minutes of halftime, the essence of these words of the old Scottish man was that ‘the best defense is offense’!

The players from the two substitute teams walked to the court first in twos and threes, indicating that the second half of the game was about to begin.

Seeing his disciples on the court, preparing for battle, the old man sat on the coach's bench, chewing gum in his mouth, and raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, no one would have thought that Manchester United would compete with Barcelona in the second half of the game...

During the halftime break, in the China Live Broadcast Room, Li Bin and Liu Jianhong were still discussing what kind of tactics Manchester United would adopt in the second half. In their view, Manchester United, whose morale had been frustrated, was likely to start as soon as it started in the second half.

With a fierce attack and some tricks to regain the situation and morale, they

The reason for such speculation is that Ferguson has given people a character of not admitting defeat in the past, but they may have forgotten one truth. No matter how stubborn the old Scotsman is, no matter how stubborn he is, he will definitely make the best decision based on local conditions in such an important game.

Appropriate tactics.

After Manchester United opened the game, those who judged the opening attack were almost disappointed. Manchester United recovered and launched a defensive counterattack.

Guardiola hopes that Manchester United will fight against Barcelona from the beginning. When the morale of the players is no longer at the same level, he believes that Barcelona players will quickly seize the opponent's space and give a fatal blow. Now the opponent is dormant to avoid its edge.

Such an opponent is truly terrifying. The two teams are on the same starting line. At this time, Barcelona has to play steadily.

In the first few minutes of the second half, both teams seemed to be no longer eager to attack. Instead, they began to test each other like they were at the beginning of a competition!

Seeing that the originally dominant morale of his players was being depleted bit by bit by his opponents, Guardiola could no longer sit still. With a wave of his hand, he signaled his players to speed up the pace and start a fierce attack.

"Barcelona's young coach has once again started another big gamble. He doesn't want to watch his superior fighting spirit be consumed by his opponents. Will Barcelona's fierce attack lead to a goal like the last stage of the first half?" The commentator has already watched.

The reason why Barcelona suddenly accelerated the pace was revealed, but he added, "A big gamble? Not always the one who takes the lead will be the final winner. Manchester United also got the same opportunity!"
