323 Chapter 323
"Oh, you're in luck, Nathan Neal. "But that's just the beginning." The Barça president's face was a little agitated. The team still didn't score, and the penalty didn't go in, leaving the whole Camp Nou disappointed.
"Josep, do you really think it's luck? I think if you were really lucky, this penalty wouldn't have happened. Our goalkeeper, Hansbachmeier, was a penalty taker who wasn't entirely lucky. Nathan Neal laughed and mocked, but he was also very agitated. The moment the penalty was saved, he jumped straight from his seat and clenched his fists. But what next......
As the game continued, Barcelona slowed down. The QP, on the other hand, began to have some positional warfare offensives and kept trying to find Leon and Batshuayi.
This is a good sign, Nathan Neal thought to himself.
As soon as the QP boss wanted to speak, the team's bad luck seemed to have really arrived.
The two chairmen looked down at the field below and saw a player fall to the ground.
It's Misibatshuayi. The tall Belgian striker was fighting for a header with Gerard Pique when the two collided violently and both fell to the ground, covering their heads.
After a few seconds, Pique slowly got up and looked fine.
The TV is playing back the footage you just had.
Pique's head hit Michy Batshuayi in the back of the head, an accidental collision, and Batshuayi happened to be hit in the more vulnerable part.
Nathan Neal frowned and looked at the sidelines, where his manager was yelling angrily as Alice, the team doctor, and his assistants rushed into the field and motioned for a stretcher to enter.
This season, due to good physical management, QP has basically had the fewest injuries in the Premier League, but the three most serious injuries have all moved a lot and this time they appeared on such an important occasion.
Nathan Neal felt depressed in his heart.
Batshuayi appeared to regain some consciousness, but was nevertheless carried on a stretcher. I can't hold on to it.
Nathan Neal looked to the sidelines again and saw the player warming up.
The team's number 7.
Oh, maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing. Nathan Neal was saddened by Michy Batshuayi's injury, but at the same time, deep down he had another thought, which was to see what happened next.
Everyone wants to see what kind of performance Phil Warren, an "amateur player", will have at Camp Nou.
April 10, 8:21 p.m.
Phil Warren, who had never been to Camp Nou before, stepped on the turf and looked excited, neither nervous nor showing any sympathy for injured team-mate Michy Batshuayi.
It's like a fan, or a sightseeing fan. This is what Phil thought when he ran past the Barça players.
After running to Ian's side, Phil was grabbed by the Scotsman.
"Keep a cool head, you know the importance of this game, Phil. them like the last one. ”
It's because of this importance that I'm so fucking excited!" Phil thought to himself. I don't know how many people are watching TV right now, and the stadium is so fucking awesome that if I can score my fifth goal of the season...... The boss has to pay me obediently.
Calm, calm down. Phil also wanted to calm down, but his legs and feet didn't listen to him as if they had been injected with stimulants.
The ball came in the air and Phil was standing near the touchline on the right side of the pitch, next to Umtiti defending. In the first half hour or so of the game, he kept Michy Batshuayi in a watertight defence, leaving the Belgian midfielder with little success in getting his hands on the ball and handling it.
Phil didn't care about that, he probably knew the name of his opponent, the France international, but what was that? He picked it up on tiptoe with his right foot, and he picked it over Umtiti's head before it was in the air and almost out of the touchline.
The Barcelona defender was also a little surprised, but he reacted quickly and moved quickly, and immediately turned to chase the ball. Now it's a race on this side.
Phil couldn't fully catch up and Umtiti blocked him with his body, but he stabbed hard into his opponent's crotch and the ball continued to roll forward, towards the baseline.
The race continues.
Umtiti didn't react at first, and then was pressed by Phil's hand, losing her balance and falling to her knees. Phil continued to sprint, and the ball was reached by him before it could go out of bounds.
There were shouts of surprise and abuse from the audience, the referee did not blow for a foul on Phil's hand, and this amazing explosiveness also surprised the Barcelona defenders, and a seemingly difficult ball was actually caught by him.
All eyes are on Phil.
Phil puts the ball back to his feet with his right foot
But the left foot immediately touched the ball out of the bottom line again!
The Barcelona fans in the stands immediately burst into laughter and ridicule, and Leon, who was waiting for a cross in the middle, also waved his hand at him.
Phil was annoyed, damn left foot!
The body was fully mobilized after the high-speed sprint, but it was probably too excited......
Lu Ling saw Phil's "left and right fighting" on the field, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little, but immediately shouted his name to the court: "Phil, do a good job, continue!"
The huge stadium was very noisy, and Phil basically didn't hear the head coach shouting at him, he should be scolding himself...... Scold, scold, when I score a goal, you still have to kiss me!
Phil hurried back to a quick run, at least he hadn't forgotten to get involved in the defense.
In front of the home team's dugout, Pep Guardiola took several steps back and forth and he began to get anxious.
After a few minutes, the Catalans' brows furrowed more and more.
This reckless striker, his play seems to have activated QP's counterattack at once, and he is the first contender for the landing point, so that the long pass in the QP backfield really starts to work.
Although he made a mistake at the beginning of the game, QP then launched two more long passes, Phil Warren once created a touchline ball in favor of his own side, and once caused a foul on Umtiti. Now Neymar has to drop back a bit to help defend, as QP has started to turn things back with Phil Warren's ability to receive long passes.
This does not bode well.
Fortunately, the first half was almost over.
Barcelona got the ball again at the back, and to this surprise, QP began to press high.
Lu Ling and Tim both saw the positive effect of Phil's arrival in the first few minutes, and immediately made a decision after a quick discussion, allowing the team to press the formation forward for the first time, seize the momentum of this section, and try to stop Barcelona's backfield pass.
It's risky.
At present, the QP aggregate score is ahead, and once such a high-pressure forward formation is broken, with the ability of Barcelona's three geniuses in the frontcourt, scoring a goal is basically as simple as eating a sandwich.
But Lu Ling did not hesitate and decided to seize this critical point in time.
Nick is a master of this, and he has always insisted on making decisive decisions based on the situation of the game, and Lu Ling believes that this is the right one.
At this time, Barcelona's momentum had just waned, and it was the time when they were most likely to make a mistake.
Barcelona played a pass on the ground near their own penalty area, but when Gomez fed the ball down the middle, Dahoud didn't receive it. Patrick, who retreated to pick up, was also a step late.
It was Ian who intercepted the ball in the middle. The Scot took two straight steps forward to attract Muñoz and then gave the ball diagonally forward to Phil.
Phil carried Pique with his back. Oh, this guy is really strong, more powerful than he thought, Phil thought to himself.
He turned the ball back to Claudio in the back, and the Argentine immediately stuffed the ball into León in the box!
For the first time, the real scoring opportunity of the QP appeared.
Leon didn't shoot at the first time, and after a quick look, he actually crossed the ball......
This time he deceived Barcelona's goalkeeper Ter Stegen, and on the other side it was Phil Warren! He did not stop after carrying Pique back, but immediately pounced into the penalty area, leaving behind the Barcelona central defender who turned slowly!
The ball was given comfortably and Phil did not hesitate to shoot
That's when I got fame!
The ball flew past a helpless Ter Stegen, towards the goal, and then, hit the inside of the right post.
After that, the ball bounces along the goal line towards the left post...... And hit that goalpost.
Ter Stegen desperately chased back two steps, held the ball in his arms, and blocked Leon who rushed up to make up the shot.
ohfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!uck****!
This kind of thing can happen to me!!! Phil lunged over and kicked the post of the goal. Behind the goal, the Barcelona fans had already thrown several things in their hands in this direction, while also laughing at his performance.
"It's fucking bad luck!" Nathaniel didn't control his emotions, "It's basically an empty goal, this guy can hit two posts and pop up with one shot!?"
Bartomeu was stunned, but the shot made him a little bit more amused, "The Camp Nou still looks like they love us more...... You backup striker, like a comedian. ”
"Oh, then you're wrong, Josep. You'll see. Please don't come and rob our comedians again. Nathan Neal responded in a tough tone. However, this kid does make him feel helpless sometimes. Presumably Christine feels the same way as him.
The first half ended just after this shot.
When Nathan Neal returned to the box, he changed the channel.
He happened to see the last shot of the first half of Everton vs Arsenal, which was the gloomy face of Nicholas. The score in the first half was Everton 01 Arsenal.
April 10, 8:38 p.m.
Although Nicholas knows that football is a chaotic game, there are many controllable factors, and there may be more uncontrollable ones, he also knows that many times the dominant team just can't win, although he tends that this situation can be avoided.
But he's never had a first half like that.
Everton already had double-digit shots on goal, and the best chances accounted for half of them: Barkley grabbed a point in the penalty area and kicked directly into the face of the opposing goalkeeper's close-range shot, Dembele's close-range shot was weirdly kicked, Oliver Torres's long-range shot was blocked by the crossbar, and what made him most angry was that Felipe Delgado's header was actually blown away by the referee in the name of foul first, and it was the result after referring to the opinion of the referee on the bottom line!
Arsenal had just two shots on goal, but it was from a corner kick in the 34th minute that the tall Czech centre-forward Novak carried Jimenez straight over and smashed the ball into the net with his head.
As a result, Arsenal are 21 ahead on aggregate.
Nicolas feels agitated and feels that way every time he plays against Allegri's arsenal.
Against Christine, he's going to enjoy every step of the game, and that's mostly the case. But Allegri's new gunner upset him, and the Italian was surprisingly lucky, so good that he wanted to drop something.
The Spaniard sat in the coaching area of the dressing room for a while and did not speak to anyone. After that, he strode into the rest area where the players were.
"Listen up! We did a good job in the first half and it's not fair now. You're going to score in the second half, remember the few breakthroughs I said earlier......"
Time was tight, and Nicholas quickly explained the arrangements for the second half, and when the players were out, he glanced up at the TV on the wall.
Barcelona 00 Queens Park Rangers lead by QP21 on aggregate.
It seems that she has done a good job so far.
However, the scoreline is very dangerous, even more dangerous than Everton's current situation.
Nicholas straightened his collar and walked briskly out of the locker room into the hustle and bustle of Goodison Park.
It's his home turf, it's his territory, and he's not going to let Allegri take away the win here. 166 Reading Network
