Chapter 88: Defeat the opponent
At the critical moment when Neymar could get up and shoot, Pique relied on the waist and abdomen strength that was "exercised" by Shakira, and took a step faster, and at the same time as Neymar just turned his body, he stretched out his left foot and blocked it in front of him. Huo Ranwen ???.? r?a?n?? e?n?`org
He only knows that at this moment, he must not let the opponent shoot calmly at such a close distance, otherwise once Neymar's action is made, then Ter Stegen in front of the goal is just an ornament, and he can't stop the opponent's goal at all.
At the same time, Mascherano, who had just rushed up from the side and behind, was also short, stretched out his right foot and stabbed the football at Neymar's feet.
Seeing that the three of them were about to squeeze together in front of the goal, Neymar twisted his ankle and in an awkward posture, pushed the football from between his legs with his toes to his back.
Just as the ball was drilled back between Neymar's legs, Griezmann, who was supposed to be outside the box, had already flashed into the box without anyone noticing.
Watching the football suddenly appear, Griezmann only knows one action shot!
While everyone was attracted by the three Neymar who were tied together, Griezmann calmly raised his right foot behind the three and slammed his left foot against the football.
The ball instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal!
Ter Stegen only felt a white light suddenly appear in front of him, flying towards the goal, and without having time to think, Ter Stegen reflexively flew to the left and pounced.
Ter Stegen, who stretched his arms as long as he could, waited until he made a move, only to find that it was too late, and the ball was already in front of the goal when the tips of his fingers were at least a meter away from the football.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
After the goal, Griezmann did not choose to run to celebrate, but stood in the Barcelona penalty area, standing in Pique and Mascherano with their eyelids lowered, pointing at Neymar, and then two handsome guys from different countries, hugging and celebrating!
"Wow!" The saliva of the rotten girls in front of the TV could not be suppressed.
Glancing at Enrique, who was still holding his head in frustration, Klopp quickly hid his excited celebration, he wanted to say like the old Scottish man who had been chewing gum that his lead over Barcelona was just a matter of being too easy to care.
With the high-tide at the beginning, everyone watching the game was ready to see an offensive battle, but as time went on, they were depressed to find that the players on both sides seemed to have agreed, and they invariably retracted their formations backwards, and even patiently played control ball.
Seeing that the disciples did not blindly attack because of a temporary backwardness, Enrique was very relieved, in the face of a team like Blackburn that is good at rapid counterattacks, once they fall behind and launch an offensive without scruples, then it is likely that they will be completely blown up by Blackburn's counterattack before they have scored.
Blackburn is also steady, after all, it is himself who is ahead.
As the atmosphere evolves, players from both teams are caught in a fierce scramble for possession, as long as one side gets the football, then the players of the other side will definitely appear at the same time at the first time, and the momentum is very fierce, and they do not give in to each other.
While entanglement with Griezmann next to him, Raphinha quickly stabbed the ball at his feet to Busquets.
After receiving Raphinha's pass, Busquets did not have the slightest intention of taking the ball, and directly kicked the ball and passed the football diagonally to Turan in front.
Turan was not in as good form as he was at Atletico Madrid after joining Barcelona, and this time he was robbed by Rakitic before he could make a move when he got the ball.
Random Rakitic kicked the ball towards the edge of Barcelona's penalty area with a big kick.
The focus of the whole game instantly returned to the Barcelona half with the flight of football.
Keeping an eye on the rapidly falling football in the air, Neymar and Pique used their hands and feet to start a fierce battle for the first landing point, while Umtiti on the side stared at Harry Kane, who was moving quickly not far in front of him.
Neymar kicked the ground with his legs vigorously, and while leaning on Pique behind him step by step, he spread his arms and stared at the football that fell in front of him, raised his foot and gently unloaded and pushed, and at the same time sent the football to the feet of Harry Kane, he turned around and ran towards the Barcelona penalty area.
The moment he got the ball, Harry Kane took his own powerful steps and once again launched a persistent attack towards Barcelona's goal.
Ignoring Umtiti, who was constantly retreating in front of him, Harry Kane quickly flicked the football on the ground with both feet, like a sharp sword, and stabbed at Barcelona's defence.
During the fast run, his eyes looked at Neymar, who started diagonally in front of him at the same time, and Harry Kane suddenly raised his right foot and made a passing gesture.
Seeing Harry Kane's movements, Umtiti was taken aback, stopped his body in the middle of retreating, and stepped forward with his feet raised, blocking the route of Harry Kane's pass.
But while he severed the link between Neymar and Harry Kane, he also stopped his own movement.
At this moment, in the middle of running, Harry Kane, who raised his right foot, suddenly shook his ankle when his center of gravity had tilted to the right, and his right foot slid over the top of the football, and then with a flick of his toes, after the football was moved to the right, his feet stepped on the ground vigorously, and the whole person slid from the left side of Umtiti like a fish that deftly changed direction in the water.
A gust of wind blew, and Umtiti didn't even have a chance to raise his hand to foul, and he had already lost Harry Kane's figure, and Andre Gomez, who had been quickly chasing back on the other side, saw this scene, anxiously opened his thick legs, and quickly ran over from the side, hoping to block Harry Kane, who had been started, outside the penalty area.
Seeing that Harry Kane had reached the penalty area one step ahead of himself, Andre Gomez couldn't help but feel a little discouraged in his heart, although he kept sprinting as hard as he could, but he couldn't narrow the distance with Harry Kane, and he could only follow the dust behind someone else's ass like this.
At this time, Harry Kane stepped into the penalty area two steps and formed a pinch attack with Neymar on the other side.
Two strikers, only one defender in the middle, two against one!
Seeing Blackburn play the biggest attack since the opening, all the fans on the scene couldn't help but stand up.
Pique's heart is full of contradictions, he is in a dilemma, is he giving up Neymar next to him and turning to defend Harry Kane on the other side? Or will we continue to leave Harry Kane to Ter Stegen to solve?
With his eyes swept left and right, Pique finally made a decision in his mind, and this is the decision that almost all defenders have decided to look at Harry Kane in this situation now.
Just as Pique threw down Neymar, Harry Kane suddenly stretched out his left foot and stepped heavily on the grass, his body suddenly paused during the fast run, and then followed by his right foot quickly stretched out, and gently pushed the arch of the foot against the football.
In the horror of Pique and Ter Stegen's expressions, the ball rolled against the turf from the middle of Ter Stegen and Pique to Neymar on the other side.
Unlike Pique, who needs to be distracted to take care of both sides, Neymar focused all his attention on Harry Kane when he stepped into the penalty area, in addition to paying attention to his position not being offside, he was always ready for Harry Kane's pass, and tried to prepare for the first shot.
As soon as the ball came into Neymar's sight, he shot it towards the goal with the simplest of shots.
At the next moment when Ter Stegen hurriedly fell, there was a loud "boom" on the field, and even if there were only two or three thousand Blackburn fans, the energy that overturned the stadium instantly exploded, and the atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak in an instant!
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
2:0!
Blackburn Rovers seem to have completely beaten Barcelona into a sieve!
The moment Neymar bounced the ball into the goal, Klopp jumped up from his seat, threw his reserve behind him, and after a deep roar, began to hug everyone around him.
As for Enrique on one side, he had a gloomy face, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.
Two goals ahead of Barcelona is a very good dream.
Yes, it really can be called a "dream", because anyone knows how terrifying it is for Barcelona to beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 in the Champions League this season.
However, the current scoreboard reads "Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Barcelona", and the clock is only in the 30th minute of the first half.
The game restarted again, and it was only ten minutes before the end of the first half, Barcelona undoubtedly chose to break out, at this time, no one cares about physical or not, hold on for a while, you can rest, when will you wait until you don't fight at this time?
Barcelona's players are desperate, although the manager Enrique did not say anything, but the solemn expression on his face made the players shudder, and the silence was often more frightening than the outburst.
With a sense of rage, the Barcelona players changed their previous retreat and immediately launched a tidal wave of attacks on Blackburn's half.
With a "beep", Rakitic put Iniesta on the ground, and then didn't pay attention to the referee's decision, and turned his head and walked back, knowing that his foul was not enough to play a card.
"Tick!"
It wasn't long before the whistle sounded just now, the referee blew the whistle again, and Pogba once again hit Messi, who ran to the side, into the back of the billboard with the ball in a ferocious move.
In the face of Barcelona's crazy attack, Blake's players on the field are very sophisticated in using fouls to stop the opponent's smooth attack, and they are all small fouls with small movements.
Three-minute ......
Five minutes......
Time passed slowly bit by bit, and all the Barcelona fans who were looking forward to the wonderful counteroffensive scene were disappointed, and in front of the rock-solid Blackburn defense, the Barcelona players who showed all their strength did not take advantage of the slightest.
Just when everyone was waiting for the time to run out in the first half, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Just as the first half looked to be over, Bale faced Sergio Busquets' scramble and sent the ball to the feet of centre-back Raphael Varane.
Seeing Varane in front of him get the football, Suarez felt that his chance had finally come, and immediately threw off his legs, and a red figure slipped by, and rushed towards Varane.
As soon as he stopped the football under his feet, he saw Suarez rushing in front of him like a gust of wind, Vara was not nervous in his heart, but calmly sent the football to the feet of Pogba, who came to pick him up.
Pogba received the ball and ignored Iniesta, who pounced like a mad dog, and then made a powerful big foot that showed a long pass that ran through the half.
The ball flew high and flew almost straight towards the Barcelona penalty area.
Unexpectedly, the football was still in the half of Blackburn just now, and it flew back to his penalty area in an instant, and several Barcelona defenders quickly retreated towards their penalty area in a hurry.
Along with Barcelona's defenders, Harry Kane and Neymar were also on the move.
Watching the football fall rapidly, five or six people swarmed at the same time, almost as if they were controlling the football under their feet.
Harry Kane jumped high to grab the first point and headed it back to his team-mate.
Standing at the front of the penalty area, Neymar was originally running with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect Harry Kane to be so powerful this time and fight for the high ball. Seeing the football flying straight in front of him, Neymar was stunned for a moment.
More than anyone else, Mascherano's experience made him one of the first to react, and almost as soon as the ball flew over Pique's top, he twisted his body and ran from the top of the arc towards Neymar on the other side.
And Mascherano's movement also made Neymar quickly sober up, looking at the flying football, and the Mascherano that followed behind the football, Neymar didn't think much about it at all, and gave up the idea of continuing to move forward with the ball.
There were three defenders on the other side, plus Mascherano running over, and in such a small space in the penalty area, Neymar had no hope of completing the pass.
Since there is little hope of entering the penalty area, it is better to take a gamble, and after making a decision in the blink of an eye, Neymar quickly picked up his right foot and slammed towards the football that flew in front of him.
