Chapter 978: Applause at Camp Nou
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!”
"World Waves! Absolute World Waves!!
"A long-range shot from Rakitic in the left corner of the box found the way through Valdés!"
"God, we were still joking that Chinatown's performance in the second half was completely different from the first half, maybe there was really hope to turn the situation around, but I didn't expect that we really hit it, 2-2, Chinatown stubbornly tied the score!"
"We saw the Chinatown players rushing out of the pitch in a frenzy, rushing to the corner flagstick again, standing in a row, raising their hands in salute, which was also seen in the away game against Real Madrid, but now, again at the Camp Nou, it will probably become the standard way for Chinatown players to celebrate goals. ”
"Look at the slow-motion replay, the whole goal came from a break by Illah Ramendi, he poked the ball at Iniesta's feet, Carvajal grabbed the ball and quickly passed it to Koke in front, Koke crossed Herrera, and then passed forward to Rakitic, and the whole counterattack of Chinatown was very fast, all with one kick. ”
"Barcelona's defense is also very timely, Xavi chased Rakitic all the way back, and the Croatian midfielder's dribbling was still very solid, showing good foot skills, not giving Xavi a chance, and then distributed to Hazard on the left side. ”
The key role of the top player was reflected at this moment, Hazard took the ball alone and attacked Alves directly, but at this time it attracted at least two defenders, Alves and Xavi, and Otamendi behind him was also actively paying attention to the help defense, they were obviously very jealous of Hazard's individual ability. ”
"The Belgian's four-on-four against Real Madrid impressed everyone and no one dared to be careless, but this time Hazard was very clever and attracted the attention of the defence, and then suddenly did it back. ”
"Rakitic is undefended, Hazard is also very comfortable with the ball, so as soon as he waits for the ball to come, he plays directly with his feet, and the curling ball has a very obvious drop after crossing the defenders in the penalty area, and it falls directly on the right side of the goal, Valdés in order to defend Hazard, standing on the left side, and there is nothing he can do about this shot. ”
'It was a very good counter-attack, with Rakitic finishing with a quality long-range shot. ”
"The Croatian midfielder has quickly become the mainstay of the team's midfield since joining Chinatown, and he may not be as good as James Rodriguez in terms of chances and assists, but he is more versatile, can attack and defend, and can also surprise long-range shots at key moments. ”
"Rakitic is definitely one of the most impressive midfielders in La Liga this season. ”
…………
…………
The TV commentators praised the players of Chinatown, especially the goal-scorer Rakitic, who was indeed very beautiful and wonderful from a long distance, and it was definitely a rare world wave.
What's more, this shot equalized for Chinatown.
Gao Han was also a little surprised by the team's performance in the second half, even after Aubameyang's goal, he hoped that the team could maintain the score of 1-2, even if it was lost away, but there was an away goal, which could give Chinatown a glimmer of life at home, and then slowly figure out a way.
But what he didn't expect was that the players in Chinatown kicked more and more in the second half, and even scored two goals in a row.
"This Rakitic is not simple. Zidane nodded repeatedly.
Just this long-range shot is enough to show the strength of Rakitic, not to mention that he performed well throughout the game.
"Yes, as early as when I was in charge of Bayern Munich, he had already performed well in the Bundesliga, he used to be the most promising midfielder in European football, and even better than Modric at one time, winning everyone's affirmation, but the development of Schalke 04 was not satisfactory, which made our Chinatown pick up a big bargain. ”
Rakitic is indeed as Gao Han said, he became famous very early, but the development is really not satisfactory, even now, he shines in La Liga, but compared with everyone's expectations of him back then, it is still much inferior.
The main reason is that in the past few years of his time at Schalke 04, in the years when young players need to play and train the most, the years have been wasted, resulting in limited progress, otherwise his achievements will definitely be higher than now.
'That's the way young players are, it's full of crises, it's full of uncertainty, injuries, circumstances, style of play, maybe even a little bit of inner turmoil, can cause him to not develop. Zidane was also full of sighs.
After his retirement, he had a lot of fancy French players, but many of them failed to live up to expectations.
"It's good to be like Rakitic, and if the trend continues, at least he's a first-line midfielder in Europe, but there are many more who have been reduced to not even playing, such as Portillo and Pavon at Real Madrid. Makelle also said with feeling.
When Claude Makelele and Zidane played for Real Madrid, Portillo and Pavon were the two most promising rookies in the Real Madrid team, Portillo was favored to inherit Raul's mantle, and Pavon was also valued by Real Madrid's management, and even launched the so-called Zidane plus Pavon policy.
But then neither player's development was satisfactory.
After Bosque left Real Madrid, Portillo was not trusted and was soon loaned to Serie A, which was incompatible with his style of play, but did not get a chance, and then moved to many different teams, but none of them performed, and now he has joined Las Palma in La Liga, but has not been given the opportunity to play.
Pavon is not much better off than Porti, the homegrown centre-back who once stood alongside Zinedine Zidane and left Real Madrid for Zaragoza, where he also underperformed, joining Ligue 2 side Rencontres Arles last summer, but was also unable to get the chance.
In a blink of an eye, these two former teammates are now in their early thirties, and looking back on their former scenery and current loneliness, people really have to feel embarrassed and sorry for this.
"Rakitic was lucky to meet you. Zidane looked at Gao Han with admiration.
If he hadn't met the cold, Rakitic might have moved to another team, but whether he could play it and whether he could play it like he is now, when he played Barcelona, is probably hard to say.
'I'm also betting that he didn't do well at Schalke 04 but I believe in his quality. Gao Han smiled slightly, of course he would not say that he had inspected Rakitic with his keen eyes, and knew that although the Croatian was not as good as expected, his strength was not bad, so he decided to sign.
"Pochettino's on-the-spot command for this game looks a lot more mature, the substitutions are also very targeted, very thoughtful, if you can keep the score 2-2, then the second leg will have to be played. Zidane smiled.
In a 2-2 draw away from Barcelona, China City won two valuable away goals, and returning to home can be more proactive, because Barcelona must score.
When Sergio Garcia heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What if we concede two more goals in the first half of the second leg?"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't help laughing out loud, somewhat helpless.
If they still play like this after returning to their home stadium, then China City will not be able to qualify.
Gao Han was also very helpless about this, and kept shaking his head, he also didn't know what kind of problem Chinatown was encountering now, maybe it was really a psychological factor, but this was too elusive.
"To be on the safe side, I think Pochettino has to defend the second leg first, defend well, just in case. Zidane suggested.
If this game is a draw, Barcelona will definitely attack away, and Chinatown is just defending and counterattacking.
"Don't talk about it so early, let's wait until this game is over. ”
Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "There are nearly ten minutes left in the game, and China Town may not be able to hold it. ”
…………
…………
Indeed, as Gao Han said.
In the final ten minutes of the game, Barcelona launched an almost desperate attack towards the goal of Chinatown.
Pep Guardiola and Barcelona's players are clearly aware that a 2-2 draw at home would be very bad for Barcelona and that they will be very passive in the second leg of the away game.
On the contrary, Chinatown, with two away goals, will have more initiative in the second leg, which Barcelona do not want to see, because they have also learned from Chinatown's defense in this game.
Pochettino is a centre-back who studied under Bielsa, and is also quite skilled in pressing and pressing, and if it ends in a draw, the second leg will be even more difficult than it is now, and it will be even more difficult to knock on the goal of Chinatown away.
But Barcelona knows this, and Chinatown has thought of this layer too.
The veteran Marcos Senna, who started this game, was close to exhaustion at this time, but he still gritted his teeth, struggled to support, and kept calling on his teammates to withstand Barcelona's attack.
The home team launched wave after wave of attacks, but China City kept Barcelona's attack in the penalty area and out of the goal again and again, allowing the home team to return again and again.
By the end of stoppage time, both sides were almost exhausted, and many players were even a little unable to take a step.
But the referee still blew the whistle for the end of the game.
2-2, Chinatown stubbornly drew with Barcelona away.
At the moment of the whistle, many players from both teams collapsed directly on the field.
Chinatown's head coach Mauricio Pochettino, members of the coaching staff and all the substitutes rushed onto the pitch in a frenzy as if Chinatown had won the Champions League.
On the contrary, it was Barcelona, and the players were all a little excited.
Otamendi took off his shirt and took the initiative to walk to Chinatown to congratulate his former team-mates.
Although there is still a second leg in the game, the stubbornness of this game has made Barcelona and everyone re-understand Chinatown and the strength and will of this team.
Messi also took the initiative to walk towards Hazard, took off his jersey, and exchanged with Hazard, and the two communicated side by side.
Pelle, who was substituted, ran to Ibrahimovic for the first time, wanting to ask for a jersey, but he didn't expect it, but he was given a head start by Morata, which made the Italians very depressed.
Alba moved on to Sergio Busquets and Thiago, both teammates and friends from La Masia's time.
In the stands at the Camp Nou, there was sparse applause.
