Chapter 35: The Next City First
The big screen on the side of the stadium began to play back and slow play Ronaldo's breakthrough shot just now, and the exclamations suddenly sounded, and in the stands, on the side of the stadium, in the VIP seats, and in front of the TV, all the people who were paying attention to the game exclaimed in unison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It turned out that Ronaldo's breakthrough actually borrowed Zambrotta's calf to make a wall-hitting pass, which is really a genius idea!
Although Arthur did not come to Camp Nou, he was also watching the game in front of the TV in Blackburn, and seeing Ronaldo's breakthrough that was enough to go down in history, he also high-fived like an ordinary fan!
Today's Ronaldo is not like a pure goal machine when he transferred to Real Madrid in the future, and today's Ronaldo still has a little bit of the inspiration of a magician on the field, and although after the transfer to Real Madrid in the previous life, Ronaldo's ability to score goals has improved a lot, but it has regressed more in terms of passing, and even in the season when he won the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo will only rely on physical fitness, and such a perfect combination of agility and skill is no longer seen.
The stands erupted in earth-shattering cheers again, Rijkaard opened his mouth wide to watch the replay on the big screen, and had forgotten to scold the players, he never dreamed that Ronaldo would use such a strange breakthrough.
And to be able to complete Ronaldo's elusive method, at this time Camp Nou also has a person - not Messi, but Ronaldinho, who is sitting on the bench with blank eyes.
I don't know if seeing such a wonderful breakthrough by the juniors, will the football elves feel a trace of regret for their fall?
The game restarted, and Blackburn's players were now full of confidence, believing that they could hold on to the advantage brought by Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, and stepped on the proud Barcelona body to revel.
On the contrary, Barcelona's offensive was urgent, wave after wave of attacks, sprinting again and again, Barcelona completely controlled the game, and carried out a crazy offensive performance in Blackburn's half, but it was defused by the confident Blackburn players.
Time passed minute by minute, Rijkaard was already on the sidelines and couldn't sit still, he knew Blackburn's strength very well, for Ronaldo, he also specially arranged Yaya Toure to watch the defense, and other people assisted in the defense, originally thought that as long as he watched Ronaldo firmly, Blackburn would not have a chance at all in this game, but Ronaldo's goal before let him know how terrifying Ronaldo's superstar of this level occasionally flashed inspiration!
Although Rijkaard also knows in his heart that Barcelona is not in the best form this season, the league title is gradually moving away from them, even if they specialize in the Champions League, but against Blackburn, they have little hope.
Sighing, Rijkaard looked at Ronaldo who was stirring Barcelona's formation on the field with fiery eyes: It seems that the summer transfer can be made, such a player will pose a serious threat to Barcelona if he is placed in any other team, and if you want to remove this threat, you can only take him down, as for the transfer fee, the high is high, and such a player is worth thousands of troops.
In addition to Barcelona, their arch-rivals Real Madrid have also set their sights on Cristiano Ronaldo. Although Blackburn have performed better than either Spanish giants in recent years, and even better than any European club, Arthur's side are not for sale.
From Ibrahimovic to Robben, Arthur seems to be telling the outside world that the Blue Devils are not for sale only in how much you bid.
McCone made a hasty tackle to bring down Messi, who is still nicknamed "Little Flea", and Barcelona won a free-kick on Blackburn's left that was not in a good position.
Blackburn drove out a wall of five, Ronaldo stood not far from the wall, waiting for a chance to fight back, and Yaya Toure followed his side nervously. Milito stood in the distance, his eyes kept sweeping over Ronaldo, who had just broken through from the four of them, and scored a brilliant goal that made their faces feel like they were on fire.
Xavi, who was in charge of the free kick, tried hard to suppress his heart that was beating faster and faster, and his eyes swept over the wall to look at Blackburn's goal, and at this moment, there was nothing but Blackburn's goal.
Cech slapped his hands hard, roared, and stood on the right side of the goal, which was not blocked by the human wall, with his waist slightly bent and his eyes on Xavi.
To say that the star level of Blackburn Rovers in this life is stronger than himself in the same period in the previous life, one is Bentley, who is particularly favored by Arthur because of his household registration book and handsome appearance, and the other is Cech, who has not been "headshot" in this life.
Cech, who has not suffered the "catastrophe", is currently in the top three of the world's goalkeepers.
Facing Cech and listening to the referee's whistle, Xavi took a deep breath, leaned over and ran briskly towards the football.
Petr Cech's eyes shrank as he stared at Xavi's right foot, and as the ball left Xavi's right foot, Cech moved quickly, then roared and pounced on the flying ball, his fingertips just touching it.
Petr Cech was chilled, and the ball didn't seem to change the course of the flight. At this moment, the stands behind him resounded with the exclamations of the aftermath. Only then did Cech relent, and after falling heavily on the lawn, he quickly got up excitedly, and raised his hands to the sky with a long roar.
Harvey's heart sank, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Andres Iniesta walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, and Xavi let out a forced laugh and ran quickly to the corner flag.
Looking at the dense crowd in Blackburn's penalty area, Xavi couldn't help but smile bitterly again, it seemed that he had a more bitter smile today.
The corner kick was kicked out, the chaotic football flew out of the penalty area, and when Torres was about to get to the landing point, the referee had already blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and it turned out that forty-five minutes of the first half had passed.
After the rematch, Barcelona has replaced Yaya Toure with young striker Bojan, Rijkaard is clearly unwilling to suffer a defeat at home, if this game ends with a score of 0:1, then the next leg against the Rose Theatre, the most terrifying home stadium in Europe, the Dutch coach has no hope of turning the tables.
Barcelona, who attacked with all their might, was still defended by Blackburn Rover, and Barcelona did not dare to move the entire line, you know, the opponent's Torres, Ronaldo, Ashley Cole and McCone are all extremely fast players, once these four sprinted, no one in the Barcelona team can catch up with these four fast horses.
Torres and Ronaldo teamed up to contain Barcelona's entire defence, and when they attacked, they had to be careful that their doors would not be breached.
Rijkaard anxiously watched as time was running out and couldn't help but shout loudly from the sidelines, but the Dutch coach seemed to have a very average prestige in the team, and his constant shouting did not make the Barcelona players on the green field change in the slightest, and it was still the same as before.
Barcelona's attack has become sharper as they continue to invest in their forces, but their backfield has also become more porous. Blackburn's players saw this, and as soon as they steal the football, they don't look at it and hang forward, and as soon as one of the two of Ronaldo and Torres catches up, Barcelona will collapse.
Zambrotta didn't dare to step forward to assist again, and ran around closely with Ronaldo, and his physical strength was quickly exhausted by Ronaldo. Rijkaard hurriedly replaced the veteran Thuram, so that this new force followed Ronaldo closely.
Although Thuram is no longer able to play a full 90 minutes on a stage of the Champions League semi-finals, he was still able to play the seven or eight successful times of his peak in less than 30 minutes.
Lippi also began to make substitutions to stall for time, after all, he did not even think of the unrealistic idea of settling Barcelona in one leg, and Ballack was substituted for the break, and he was replaced by another veteran Frenchman, Claude Makellele.
Claude Makelele's starting spot has been taken by Cambiasso and Ballack this season, with the Frenchman more on the bench.
The football fell to Torres again, and then Torres was seen spinning around the football field, followed by more and more Barcelona players, but this was Lippi's confession - when there was no chance to shoot, he ran with the ball and delayed time.
Rijkaard was angry off the field, his players couldn't break the ball, and the players on the back line didn't dare to move, for fear that one would accidentally expose the gap, and Torres would seize the opportunity to pass the ball and create a killing chance.
Rijkaard glared at Lippi angrily, but saw that Lippi couldn't help but look at the time with a smile, and his heart was angry and anxious.
Lippi then replaced Cristiano Ronaldo with Cambiaso, Duff dropped back, and the Blues changed their lineup to 4-5-1 and the defense became tighter. Didier Drogba was used to replace Torres to continue to ensure the impact of the team's forward line.
In the face of Lippi's calm adjustment, Rijkaard was helpless, on the one hand, his ability was not as good as his opponent, and on the other hand, because he did not have Lippi under his hand, he had too many cards to play.
is like a good woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.
After Thierry Henry broke through again to no avail and was shoveled out of the touchline by McConn, the referee looked at the clock on his wrist, shook his head, and did not give Barcelona a chance to send a sideline ball, but put the whistle in his hand to his mouth and blew it hard.
"Dididi!"
With the final whistle blowing, Blackburn Rovers beat Barcelona 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, and against the next leg of the Rose Theatre, which has not been beaten this season, the Blues can say that they have one foot in the Champions League final in Moscow.
However, before the second leg next week, Blackburn Rovers have a tough game ahead of them, and that is the league title game against the Red Devils! (To be continued.) )
