Chapter 339: It's Time to Really Decide the Winner
Arsenal's unprepared tactical corner threw chaos in the Barcelona penalty area, and Quaresma got on the ball when everyone was unprepared, but he didn't choose to shoot.
No Look Pass!
Don't look at people passing!
His eyes weren't looking in the direction of the pass at all, but at the goal, which made anyone think he would hit the goal directly!
However, who would have thought that Quaresma chose to pass the ball instead!
An inverted triangle pass sent the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area, where, because of the panic in the penalty area just now, there was no defensive arrangement!
Ashley Cole, who had cut in from the flanks and moved to the middle, was completely leaked out, and the surrounding defence was so loose that it was as if he was the only one on the pitch.
(Sorry, at the end of the previous chapter, it was written that Xiaofa responded, but in fact, Xiaofa was still in the corner area!) Laugh and cry! )
Everyone was taken aback, shocked by Quaresma's unsightly pass.
Is there still a pair of eyes in the sky, or are you simply connected to the spy satellite?
This is another Xiao Luo's stunt, and Quaresma's bad taste is almost heavenly!
By this time, Ashley Cole had already picked up his big foot and pumped it the ball, although there was chaos in the penalty area, but it could not stop Ashley Cole, and his shot flew towards the Barcelona goal like a cannonball.
The exclamations of the fans in the stands erupted, and the Stade de France was about to fall.
After all, the speed of movement is not as fast as the ball, at the moment of Quaresma's pass, Valdés was in the near corner of the goal ready to block Quaresma's shot, although after Quaresma's pass, the Spanish second goal moved quickly, but time was fleeting, and when the ball reached the feet of Ashleycole, Valdés had not moved to the center of the goal!
The powerful shot flew straight into the top left corner of the net and Valdés leaped to make the save.
Be sure to touch the ball!
Roaring in his heart, Valdés couldn't imagine the situation where his team was two goals down.
However, even with his best efforts, he still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal, and his hand still couldn't touch the ball.
Embarrassed to the ground, the ball rushed to the net, it fell for a long time, and after landing, it bounced up again, again and again, as a bleak background, unspeakable irony.
Goal, scored!
Ashley Cole seemed to be crazy at that moment, he behaved extremely unbearable, and the facial features on his face seemed to be out of shape, he was really excited.
Two steps rushed towards Quaresma and jumped on top of Quaresma, as if he had finally returned to his mother after a few days away from home.
The teammates also rushed over, acting even more frantically, and the beastly roars and venting had already made them completely transformed.
Two goals ahead!
In the first half, Arsenal was already leading by two goals, which is obviously the rhythm of Barcelona's collapse!
Quaresma hugged Ashley Cole, stood proudly, looked at the stands where the Barcelona fans were, and naturally attracted a boos as far as his eyes could see, but in the cheers of the Arsenal fans, this was obviously nothing, and he would not care.
Two balls!
We're two goals ahead!
I'm not done with what I've just said!
I still have to ask, do you regret it?
Let's go find a place where no one is in the middle and cry!
I will always prove to you that missing me is an eternal pain in your heart!
......
Ashley Cole's goal ignited the Stade de France again, a score that probably no one expected, if it really played at this pace, then Barcelona would not be bloodied by Arsenal in the end?
Just as Arsenal can't defend against Ronaldo, Barcelona doesn't have a very good way to deal with Quaresma, and even when they just forced Quaresma into the corner area and couldn't get the ball, they were already considered successful in defense, but who would have thought that when they turned their heads, Quaresma gave them another fatal blow?
Although it was not Quaresma who scored the goal, everyone knows that Quaresma accounted for the vast majority of the credit for this goal.
When he was forced to no way out by three Barcelona defenders, he still did not lose control of the ball and created a corner;
deceived Edmilson and all the Barcelona players with excellent acting skills, and got the ball in the threatening zone through tactical corners;
Quaresma's following play is even more amazing, not choosing a small angle shot with a low success rate, not greedy, but using a very freehand way to pass the ball to Ashley Cole near the top of the penalty area, after attracting everyone's attention, let the Arsenal left-back get up comfortably, if Ashley Cole did not be able to hit the ball into the Barcelona goal, I am sorry for Quaresma's series of commotion operations!
Fortunately, Ashley Cole lived up to Quaresma and scored a clean Barcelona goal to make the score 2:0.
Now, the game is in Arsenal's favor!
It is not an exaggeration to say that at the end of this game, if Arsenal can really beat Barcelona to win the Champions League, then Quaresma, who performed well, may become a superstar like Ronaldo, and I am afraid that even the captain Henry will not be as dazzling as Quaresma at that time.
Arsene Wenger celebrated the goal with his arms folded, his eyes never off Quaresma.
This young man he is extremely optimistic about has really surprised him again and again, pushing his limits every time, and breaking Wenger's prediction of Quaresma's achievement ceiling again and again.
This is really not a young man who needs him to train!
His arrival has directly become the most important piece of the puzzle of Arsenal's tactical system, and if it were not for Quaresma, Arsenal would have sunk long ago this season.
What he bought for 1,500 euros is not a rising star at all, but a thigh that can really carry Arsenal forward!
Thankfully, Quaresma is at Arsenal!
If Quaresma was in Barcelona and added a little Ronaldo, I'm afraid Arsenal would have surrendered long ago!
But this thought disappeared without a trace as soon as it was generated, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, how is this possible?
Quaresma and Barcelona are simply five elements of each other, and they can't go together at all.
So far in the game, the score has not been enough to give Wenger peace of mind, but the odds of winning are already very good.
At least except last season, there is no record of a two-goal comeback win in the Champions League final.
Can Barcelona be like Liverpool and put on the thrill of a French night?
It's not impossible, but Arsenal doesn't have the gene to be reversed!
They are leading the game and haven't lost yet!
And looking at the current trend, although Arsenal doesn't have many ways to take Xiao Luo, Quaresma's surprise attack is also unbearable for Barcelona, even if it is in a situation of mutual explosion, Arsenal is not cowardly at all!
game, they won!
......
Against the backdrop of the disgraced faces of the Barcelona players, Arsenal ended their celebrations and the game resumed.
The Barcelona fans in the stands also seemed to have lost their voices, and at the moment when Barcelona kicked off, they didn't even cheer and encourage, just looked at the stadium without thinking, as if they had lost hope.
How is this game played?
Barcelona still play their proudest attacking football, and Ronaldo's performance does not show any problems, he is still an all-powerful elf on the pitch, and he has also created a threat on several occasions.
But Barcelona just couldn't break through the Arsenal goal, and in turn, Arsenal also had two holes through the Barcelona goal.
Can you really get back from behind?
Maybe they still have a chance to score, but the question is, who is going to limit Quaresma?
They always believed that Ronaldo would bring them victory, and he played the best football in the world.
But at this moment, they were confused!
Compared to Ronaldo's flashy style of play, Quaresma can also play gorgeously, just like he used to do at Barcelona, showing off his footwork by himself until he shook his opponent to the point where he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
But now, Quaresma seems to have abandoned this style of play and has become more simple and crude!
He can also play flashy, but at this time, what's the use of flashy?
With the win, Barcelona also need to be gorgeous, but now that the game is playing like this, who can stand up and help the team equalize in a brutal way?
If Quaresma is still at Barcelona......
Barcelona fans can't help but have such absurd thoughts in their hearts!
Perhaps, that kind of Barcelona is really invincible in the world!
But there are some things that you can't get back!
Quaresma is already an enemy of Barcelona, they don't need Quaresma, even if they don't want to win, they don't want to win, they don't want Quaresma!
But deep down, how remorseful they are, who knows!
......
After the game restarted, Barcelona slowly continued to attack, no matter what, there is still a lot of time left, they have a lot of time to figure out how to equalize, they can't just give up here, right?
If they can pull a goal back in the first half and enter the dressing room with a goal behind, then after adjustment, Barcelona will not be too passive in the second half.
So, now Rijkaard's goal is to win back a city first!
You can't go back to the dressing room with a two-goal deficit!
Rijkaard stood on the sidelines and commanded the players, even wanting to get off the pitch himself, and if he was ten years younger, he really wouldn't have lost to Ronaldo.
However, Arsenal has always implemented a tight defense in the midfield, and with the advantage of two goals, they played more easily, making Barcelona's attack very uncomfortable.
When defending, Quaresma was still at the front, even Henry was helping to defend, while Quaresma had the privilege of not getting involved.
Arsenal's players are not jealous of Quaresma's special treatment, partly because they all know that instead of spending his energy on defence, Quaresma should be allowed to devote more energy on counter-attacks, and on the other hand, they know better that Quaresma's defense is nothing short of undercover......
So, Quaresma is now standing next to Edmilson and is in a completely different state with the rest of the busy Arsenal players.
Edmilson hated Quaresma so much that if he hadn't been deceived by Quaresma's drinking of water, he wouldn't have given Quaresma a chance to threaten.
Damn it!
You'll never be given another chance!
Edmilson's gritted teeth made Quaresma feel very funny!
It's ridiculous that you just express things on the pitch with your expressions and movements!
You have the ability, you speak with strength!
Defend me successfully, and you're good!
So, put away your teeth, don't bite them anymore, gold-inlaid teeth are quite expensive!
"It's okay anyway, let's go get some water!" Quaresma seemed to be talking to himself again, but looked at Edmilson playfully.
He swore that at this moment he saw the shining blade in Edmilson's eyes!
If slaughter is allowed on the court, it is estimated that he has already been dismantled by Ademilson.
It's just that Quaresma wasn't lying, because he was really a little thirsty, so under Edmilson's tearful expression, Shi Shiran walked to the sidelines, picked up a bottle of water, and poured it down.
However, at this moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed, Quaresma choked on a mouthful of water, but he didn't have time to cough, and his eyes were fixed on Arsenal's goal.
There, the wind is blowing!
Barcelona's attack, Ronaldo dribbled in the middle, attracted three Arsenal defenders, and suddenly got up and stopped.
Arsenal failed to create an offside position, Eto'o successfully countered offside, and the cheetah got the ball from behind, forming a one-on-one situation.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and Quaresma couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, faintly having a bad premonition.
Lehmann had already abandoned the goal at the moment when Ronaldo sent it through, rushed towards Eto'o, and finally managed to get a chance to intercept Eto'o near the penalty line.
However, with Samuel Eto'o on the edge of the box, Lehmann had to tackle the ball to the end, his only option.
However, Eto'o was still one step ahead of his pace, stabbing first and dodging Lehmann's tackle, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, as if the goal was close at hand.
However, no one expected that Lehmann did not destroy the ball at Eto'o's feet, but raised his hand to block Eto'o's balanced back foot, and directly let Eto'o fall to the ground and fall into the penalty area!
Lose your marbles!
Quaresma's mouth was wide open, and memories flooded back his mind like a tidal wave, and he finally remembered what his bad premonition had just now!
Lehmann's yellow card!
In the Champions League duel in the previous life, Arsenal did not fall behind at the beginning, but when Lehmann attacked and brought down Eto'o and was sent off with a red card, Arsenal went into a desperate situation, playing more with less for a long time, and finally lost this game.
Lehmann's red card, it's definitely a brain draw!
Unexpectedly, I changed some things, but there were many more that didn't, such as Lyman's brain pumping!
Now that the game is so favorable to Arsenal, even if a goal is pulled back, Arsenal is still ahead, how can Lehmann make such an impulsive move again?
If he doesn't tackle the ball for the first time, he should realize that he must have to eat a card when he reaches out again, and it is definitely a red card, so there is no need at all!
But in the time of electric light, maybe Lyman's thinking is not so clear, and he doesn't know what the consequences of his subconscious actions will be, anyway, he just stretched out his hand!
Quaresma couldn't help but grab her hair and gasp.
The referee's whistle sounded!
The fans in the stands continued to exclaim, this accident had the potential to change the direction of the game!
The Barcelona players immediately surrounded the referee, constantly pressurized, and made a card giving action.
"Sir, this is the worst foul, it's a penalty!"
"Yes, it's in the box, it's a penalty!"
'Lehmann blocked our goal and should have been sent off with a red card!'
"Sir, please hurry up and play your cards!"
The Arsenal players also rushed over and explained to the referee that only Lehmann had an inscrutable expression at this time.
The referee waved his hand and signaled the players around him to leave quickly, and after a moment of hesitation, he walked up to Lehmann, took out the red card in his jacket pocket, and showed it to Lehmann!
Red card, down!
There was a commotion in the stands, and when the red card really appeared, everything could not be calmed down!
Henry led the players to protest and defend the referee in an excited position, and the Barcelona players applauded, this red card can really change the trend of the game.
Lehmann didn't protest to the referee again, and perhaps after calming down, he also knew that his foul might not escape the red card, so he is now very calm.
Expressionlessly taking off his gloves, Lehmann walked to the players' tunnel, who couldn't see anything from his expression.
Quaresma ran over quickly, took Lyman's arm, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Lyman's expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
No amount of comfort at this time is meaningless!
Lyman's strong Germans don't need comfort either!
He made the decision he thought was right, and as for the result, he had no way to care about it!
Quaresma watched Lehmann walk into the player's tunnel step by step, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, the back seemed to be a little lonely, but it seemed to be a little depressed.
Taking a deep breath and trying to turn his attention back to the field, Quaresma knew that the best way to comfort Lehmann was to win this game, or he would be living in self-blame forever.
On the sidelines, on the bench, Almunia had already taken off his coat and was ready to play.
The goalkeeper will be sent off, and as long as there are substitutions, then the regular substitute goalkeeper will inevitably be replaced, unless there are no substitutions, and the players on the field will be allowed to make temporary cameos.
Soon, a substitution sign was raised on the sidelines, Pire was off, Almunia came on, and Wenger made a reluctant substitution adjustment.
Piret walked off the pitch with a helpless expression, although he wanted to continue playing on the field, but he also knew that he was far less effective on the field than Quaresma and Thierry Henry, and that his substitution was inevitable.
And in the process of substitution, the Barcelona players were still protesting around the referee, and they still wanted a penalty.
Quaresma's brow furrowed slightly, and he ran out of patience as he looked at his opponent.
You're getting a little bit of an inch!
There's nothing wrong with a red card, Lehmann's action is a definite red card, so we're not going to say anything!
But you still want a penalty?
The foul just now is obviously outside the penalty area!
Why, according to your logic, is it a penalty if you fall into the penalty area?
If it falls directly into the goal, does it still count as a goal?
Quaresma couldn't help but see the image of some Barcelona players falling to the ground and rolling all the way out of a dozen yards!
The referee was still relatively fair, constantly driving away the Barcelona players who surrounded him, ready to restart the game.
The Barcelona players finally dispersed unwillingly, no matter what, now that Arsenal have one less player, their advantage has also appeared!
Quaresma didn't go to the human wall, his height in the human wall is simply the sinking part of the Great Wall, rather than being scared and afraid of being bored there, it is better to stay in the open space and be ready to fight back.
Almunia kept commanding the platoon wall, shouting hard, as if this way he could make himself more calm, accept orders in danger, and behave well and soar into the sky, if he doesn't perform well, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!
Xiao Luo stood in front of the ball, most of Barcelona's direct free kicks were taken by him, although he was not a master of free kicks, but his free kicks were also very distinctive, and they were by no means shortcomings.
Quaresma was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look at it!
If the free-kick does go straight to the goal, and with one less hit, Arsenal may not be able to hold up in the first half.
I couldn't help but fold my hands and pray secretly, although he usually didn't believe in God at all, but at this time, he could only pray to him, after all, this was God's territory.
The Barcelona players are on the rise again, after the trough just now, and now they have the hope of winning the championship again, which is simply the most wonderful thing in the world.
Cheered on by the Barcelona fans, Ronaldo kicked a curling free-kick towards the Arsenal goal, bypassing the human wall.
Almunia moved quickly, and as soon as he made a save, he noticed that the trajectory of the ball did not seem to threaten the goal, and as soon as he reacted, the ball had already flown off the line.
Didn't go in!
Xiao Luo's free kick trajectory is far from the post, this kick is really substandard!
The stands were full of regrets, and Quaresma breathed a sigh of relief.
can't help but be secretly proud, judging from Xiao Luo's performance in this free kick, I'm afraid his free kick level is not as good as himself!
At least even if you don't score, I'm afraid you can hit a ** not far from ten, and it will not easily exceed the range of the goal frame.
Xiao Luo certainly has an enviable talent, but in fact, even at his peak, he wasted too much of his talent.
I'm afraid that with his talent, he doesn't practice free-kicks as much as Quaresma does free-kicks.
The score was temporarily saved, and Arsenal still led Barcelona 2-0, and at this moment, the time had reached 32 minutes of the first half.
Survive the first half!
It is foreseeable that Barcelona will definitely attack aggressively in the final period of the first half, and Arsenal, who have played one less, will be extremely passive, and may not even be able to counterattack.
But as long as they survive the first half, after the adjustment and arrangement of the midfield, Arsenal still has a great possibility to hold out until the last moment, win and lift the trophy!
So, Barcelona must not be allowed to score in the first half!
I have to participate in the defense, even if I can only cause a little trouble to the opponent, but at this time, even if I can only be a stake, it is better than doing nothing.
It's time to decide who wins!
