In the home team's coaching booth at Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium, the chief assistant coach Tenkat was scratching his head anxiously.
At this moment, he was standing under the roof of the home team's coaching bench with head coach Rijkaard. It was pouring rain outside, and the entire Camp Nou stadium seemed to have turned into a swamp. Through the heavy rain curtain, even people could see
Not across from the stadium.
This is so fucked!
"Tonight, it seems that even God is standing opposite us!" Tenkat said anxiously.
Rijkaard had always been gentle and gentle, but at this moment he was also full of anxiety, but he was not as restless as Tenkat.
Barcelona's luck is really bad tonight.
Playing at home, facing Sevilla, they originally had an advantage, but this heavy rain instantly weakened Barcelona's technical and tactical advantages. Not only that, only two minutes into the game, the Chinese team who performed well in the previous game
Field player Motta was injured.
Ronaldinho missed two games with the national team due to injury again. Edmilson and Belletti were also absent. Now even Motta is injured. In addition, I don’t know when this game will be.
The downpour stopped...
It’s really raining all night when the house leaks!
The game has been played for thirty minutes, but it is still difficult to create effective offensive opportunities.
No wonder.
Barcelona is a ball-controlling team and has many chances to win the ball. However, this heavy rain not only made the field very muddy, but also made the ball wet and slippery. It is difficult to control at all, and the success rate of passing and receiving is also very high.
decline.
The twenty-two players on the court were all soaked as if they had just been fished out of the swimming pool.
In this kind of weather and in this kind of venue, it is really unfavorable for Barcelona.
The heavy rain not only hindered the performance of Barcelona players, but also dampened the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.
A small number of fans under the roof were better off, but the vast majority of the fans were exposed to the heavy rain. Even the cheers and cheers were obviously much quieter. Only the sound of rain could be heard. There were no fans at the home stadium in the past.
Frenzy atmosphere?
Even if no one said it, who would have thought that there are more than 60,000 fans sitting in the stands?
"It won't work if this goes on. It will be even harder in the second half!" Tenkat became increasingly frustrated.
It's the rainy season in Barcelona now. Look at this damn weather, it won't stop for a while. If we continue to be in such a stalemate with our opponents, Barcelona will be in a more difficult situation in the second half.
Rijkaard raised his head slightly and saw the rainwater falling continuously from the ceiling of the home team's coaching bench, forming a line and falling on the grass in front of him. It splashed and wet his leather shoes and shirt.
pants.
"Someone will stand up!"
He seemed to be stating what he firmly believed, and he seemed to be praying.
…………
…………
What a damn weather!
Su Dong wiped his face hard and his hands were covered with water.
There is no dry part of his body now, especially after falling to the ground several times, his whole body is dirty and very uncomfortable.
He is not a mysophobic person, but he is relatively clean.
But now, I can't care about anything.
In tonight's game, Barcelona's biggest enemy is not Sevilla. In fact, they were also affected by the heavy rain, but relatively less. But it can be seen that their best counterattacks were not played.
.
Barcelona's biggest enemy is the rain.
"Deco!"
When Su Dong saw Deco stop, he took off his sneakers and turned them over. They were full of water.
"Ma Dan, what kind of garbage drainage system is this?" Deco was also angry.
Su Dong laughed and patted Deco on the shoulder, "This has nothing to do with the drainage system. It rained too much."
He shouted so loudly that Deco wouldn't be able to hear him otherwise.
Deco nodded depressedly, why didn't he know?
"Tell Xavi to hold the ball less and pass the ball longer. If you can pass it high without touching the ground, pass it behind you as much as possible and let Giuly and I chase. Otherwise it won't work like this." Su Dong put his arm around Deco's shoulders.
, shouted loudly.
Deco nodded hastily, he also realized the problem.
Passing the ground ball was terrible, especially with the mud all over the field, and the accuracy of the pass was completely uncontrollable.
"Come on! I'm going to the front!" Su Dong slapped Deke heavily on the shoulder, causing a splash of water.
…
The game was still in a stalemate.
Not only the coaches and players in the stadium are anxious, but the fans in the stands are also anxious.
They know that the team is in a very disadvantageous situation, but the more so, the more they hope that the team can overcome the difficulty.
Time passed by minute by minute.
There was still no improvement on the scene, and Barcelona still made many mistakes in passing and receiving.
Could it be said that the first half was really going to end with a score of zero to zero?
Just when this idea came to mind, I saw a sudden bang on the court.
Harvey, wearing the No. 6 jersey, stopped the ball and sent a long pass.
Almost at the same time, Su Dong, who had his back to the goal, suddenly turned around, threw away the Sevilla defender Ramos beside him, and quickly sprinted forward.
Ramos chased after him, but Su Dong was faster.
Goalkeeper Esteban decisively abandoned the goal and all three of them chased Xavi's pass at the same time.
Harvey's pass was actually not very good. Perhaps due to the impact of the venue and heavy rain, the pass was a bit too big and too close to the goal, which was very disadvantageous for Su Dong.
But Sudong still chased after him at a very fast speed, got ahead of Sevilla goalkeeper Esteban, and took the ball to his left, allowing Esteban to miss it.
But this time, Ramos caught up with him.
This difficult boy blocked Su Dong. He was not tall, but very flexible, and his physical strength was not bad in confrontation. However, Su Dong was tall and had long legs, so he took the lead and used his left foot to protect the ball.
Esteban also reacted to the entanglement with Ramos.
After Su Dong leaned against Ramos with his body, he saw Esteban rushing over again and blocked his right foot.
The goal was right in front of him, and there was no one to defend it, but Su Dong knew very well that if he forced his kick, the ball would most likely be saved by Esteban.
So, he suddenly thought and stopped the ball with his right foot. He turned around and turned his back to the direction of attack, blocking Ramos and Esteban. He missed the opportunity to face the goal directly, but he also protected the goal.
Caught the ball.
Subsequently, Su Dong passed the ball across to the right side of the penalty spot.
The corner of his eye told him that Jiuli was coming up too.
Sure enough, the French winger followed Su Dong and quickly intervened. At this time, the second wave of offensive echelon was formed. Facing Su Dong's cross pass, as soon as it stopped, he hit directly!
Facing an empty goal, there was no suspense about Giuly's shot!
"The ball went in!!!"
"Giuly scored the first goal for Barcelona in the 41st minute!"
"As the team's number one center, Su Dong's tactical role is fully demonstrated at this moment."
"It can be said that Giuli should thank Su Dong. It was Su Dong who grabbed the ball for him and also created this wonderful scoring opportunity for him. He almost faced an empty goal."
"One to zero!"
…
Su Dong assisted Giuly's goal, which greatly relieved Barcelona's pressure.
The fans in the stands rekindled their enthusiasm, and coach Rijkaard on the sidelines was relieved.
During the halftime break, Rijkaard praised Su Dong's role in the goal and reminded his players to pay more attention to Su Dong's advantages when passing the ball and organizing offense.
This also made everyone vaguely aware of something strange.
Ronaldinho is not here, Rijkaard is trying to mold Su Dong into the core of the offense.
But with a formidable enemy in front of him, especially the goal that Su Dong grabbed in the first half, who can be dissatisfied?
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the heavy rain still showed no sign of abating, and the conditions on the field became even worse.
Just after changing their clothes and washing themselves, the players turned into drowned rats again as soon as they came out.
Both sides worked hard to create opportunities.
Sevilla was not as strong as Barcelona and basically failed to form effective attacks and counterattacks. Barcelona's passing and receiving were also greatly limited, and they were forced to frequently create opportunities with long passes and high balls.
But under the pouring rain, the success rate is indeed not high.
Su Dong got a header opportunity at the beginning of the game, but unfortunately the ball slipped away.
Iniesta also sent him a direct pass, but Sudong quickly entered the penalty area and hit the goal. He missed the ball and hit the side netting, missing the opportunity.
But the continuous attacks finally ushered in the harvest season.
In the 71st minute, the Barcelona midfielder created another opportunity. Deco pulled to the right. After receiving the ball from Xavi, he glanced ahead and sent a long diagonal pass from the right, directly passing the ball.
Sent to the front edge of the small restricted area.
Su Dong sprinted quickly, and the two central defenders Ramos and Navarro were also chasing after him.
But Su Dong was one step faster than them, judged the landing point before them, and took the first step to shoot.
Deco's pass was blocked by Su Dong in front of the goal, turned in a direction, and penetrated into Sevilla's goal again.
Su Dong lost his balance and fell heavily into the swamp, causing a splash of water.
The referee's crisp whistle sounded unusually clear and sweet in the pouring rain.
Su Dong slammed his hands on the grass and jumped up from the ground, shouting excitedly to celebrate the goal.
At this moment, his body was covered with rainwater, and his hair and face were covered with grass clippings, but he looked extremely brave!
…
Head coach Frank Rijkaard watched from a distance as Sudong was celebrating on the court. As he watched the Barcelona players rush over one by one to celebrate his goal, he couldn't help but laugh too.
Two to zero, he had been worried for more than an hour, and he could finally let it go!
"I told you, someone will come forward!" Rijkaard said with a faint smile, as if he had expected it.
Tenkat glanced at him unconvinced, secretly amused.
Others don't know. As an assistant, how can he not know how nervous and worried Rijkaard was just now?
Is this time to act wise?
"This guy is not simple. He is reliable at critical moments and never misses his mark."
After hearing this, Rijkaard looked at his assistant in surprise.
Tenkat has always been strict. Even the team's top star Ronaldinho is a little afraid of him. When did he see him be so complimentary?
"I know even if you don't tell me." Rijkaard smiled.
