Chapter 568: Camp Nou, 86th minute (6000+ big chapters)
As we got closer to the Camp Nou, the noise of everything related to the game, the posters that could be seen in the car made people more and more excited, and everyone felt like they were part of the battle.
Falcao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you're here for the first time, just follow them." β
Everywhere there were fans wearing BarΓ§a jerseys and scarves, and the flow of people gathered from all directions in a center.
Many people recognize Falcao, after all, when he was at Atletico Madrid, he was praised by Pep Guardiola as "the best center forward in the world"!
Some people also recognized Li Liang, and more and more fans gathered over, and some shouted: "Radamel (Falcao), who are you supporting today?" β
Falcao grinned: "Of course it's Barcelona!" β
The fans immediately cheered and high-fived Falcao, Li Liang and even Xiaoyu.
There are also people who enthusiastically want to put on the Barcelona team uniform for Li Liang, and Li Liang is shocked - this plot seems familiar! He hurriedly refused, and finally Xiaoyu accepted a red and blue scarf.
Far away, they saw the magnificent Camp Nou, and before they even entered the stadium, they heard a huge singing - Li Liang's heart was shocked, although it was almost the same as the random Camp Nou was his first virtual training scene, but today he really came here, and the excitement in his heart was still incomprehensible.
Camp Nou, I'm coming, do you know how much sweat I've sprinkled on your turf?
As soon as he entered the court, Li Liang felt that he was firmly enveloped in a huge mysterious atmosphere, making him almost unable to breathe.
The huge grandstand on the third floor of the Camp Nou was already full of people, and countless BarΓ§a flags were waving in the wind, and they found their seats - a BarΓ§a flag was placed on each seat.
As soon as Li Liang sat down, he was startled by a sudden loud boo, and when he looked up, he saw the players who turned out to be Grand Paris entering the stadium to warm up.
Immediately after the Barcelona players entered, the boos immediately turned into deafening cheers, and the live broadcast read the name of each Barcelona player, causing a wave of huge shouts above the wave, of course, Messi got the biggest cheers.
Even if it was a simple jog and stretching, Li Liang found that the two teams were in very different states.
Seeing Messi, Li Liang froze for a moment, and even he couldn't understand why he was like this.
Known as the best player in the world, he is now standing in front of him so truly!
The players in Paris smiled and looked very relaxed, and they couldn't stop joking with each other.
Most of the Barcelona players have their heads down, their expressions are very serious, and they all look unsmiling.
Li Liang's position on the first floor is very good, but there is also a considerable distance and there is also a guardrail baffle and billboards, but he can still feel that the Barcelona players exude this indescribable feeling, which pierces people's hearts.
The two sides began to practice with the ball one after another, and Li Liang immediately concentrated his mind and observed it carefully - for a moment he retracted his tense and leaned forward body, sat down in frustration and leaned against the backrest.
In order to eliminate the hidden danger of the left shoulder, I have suspended the system, and now I can't see the overall rating of any player at all!
Soon the players from both sides will be off the pitch for final preparations, and the game will begin. The scene gradually sounded loud music, and Li Liang was surprised to find that the fans around him all stood up.
Falcao told him and Xiaoyu: "This is the repertoire at Camp Nou, and they're going to sing the chorus." β
Nearly 100,000 fans in the audience all stood up and began a majestic chorus, and Li Liang and Xiaoyu involuntarily stood up with Falcao.
Such a shocking scene, even if Li Liang is not a Barcelona fan, he is so excited, he feels that his scalp is numb and his whole body seems to have an electric current passing through!
The surrounding fans were singing and waving flags, or holding scarves high, and Li Liang couldn't help but pick up the Barcelona flag and wave it!
At the end of the chorus, the surrounding fans applauded and gave a thumbs up to the increasingly engaged Monaco star, and the enthusiastic fans shouted: "Come to Barcelona, join us!" We love the Chinese! Li Liang smiled and applauded back.
The three referees each walked out of the tunnel under the guidance of the little ball boy, and soon the players from both sides entered one after another, and the Camp Nou was once again filled with a huge shout, completely overshadowing the sound of the live broadcast.
After the various ceremonies, the theme song of the Champions League began to be played, and when he heard this familiar melody, Li Liang suddenly remembered that he was not only an excited spectator at the moment, but also one of the players in the Champions League.
He found out that Grand Paris didn't start Angel Di Maria, which made him a little confused.
At the start of the game, Barcelona unsurprisingly began to launch a fierce attack on all fronts, and they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Trapp's goal with the roar of the fans in the stadium.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Liang couldn't believe that there would be such a scene in the knockout round of the Champions League: Barcelona, which had a three-center-back formation, had all overwhelmed the middle line except for Ter Stegen, who was nicknamed "Little Lion" by the goalkeeper!
Pique in the centre sits in the usual midfield position, while Umtiti on the left and Mascherano on the right stand the same as the central midfielder.
Falcao turned sideways and shouted: "Barcelona will definitely win, but Paris will definitely qualify!" β
"Why?" Li Liang shouted.
Tiger said confidently: "This group of Barcelona players are old, this style of play is difficult for them to stick to the end, Paris as long as they do a good job of defense, it will be OK!" β
Li Liang was noncommittal, and now he finally understands that the entire Camp Nou has been transformed into a battlefield of life and death duels, and the Barcelona players are no longer just for the victory of the game, in order to enter the next round, in order to defend the honor, for the final championship or for the attractive and generous prize.
The players in the red and blue stripes have all become warriors, defending the whole team, defending the great Camp Nou, the nearly 100,000 fans who lived and died with them, and the city.
On the other hand, looking at the players in Grand Paris, Li Liang has realized that those exaggerated smiles and relaxed mental states are actually not true.
He had a hard time believing that the players in Grand Paris were really ready. After two battles, Li Liang is already very familiar with the players in Paris. Frankly, he doesn't think these guys have half the concentration they had last time they faced Monaco at the Parc des Princes.
When he was still in his trance, Barcelona's Brazilian midfielder Raphinha kicked back a left-footed cross from the right side, and the action of his brother-in-law's header seemed a little stiff, and he couldn't see the height of the siege, and Trapp had already rushed out and began to retreat again for some reason!
Suarez, who was ambushed in front of the goal, struggled to head back, 1:0! Barcelona get off to a dream start!
A huge wave of sound broke out at the same time in all corners of the entire Camp Nou, and Li Liang was shocked by this huge momentum and turned his eyes to his brother and daughter-in-law on the field.
The world's No. 1 centre-back, what's going on today?
Barcelona's morale was boosted, and then Messi's free kick in the 15th minute was slightly deflected, which once again caused an exclamation and a huge sigh from the audience.
Li Liang and Falcao were keenly aware that the goalkeeper Trapp of Grand Paris was obviously not in shape, his movements were hesitant and stiff, and the range of control was getting smaller and smaller!
Falcao sighed: "Any player playing at Camp Nou will be affected to some extent, it depends on whether he can adjust as soon as possible! β
Immediately after the 17th minute, Neymar won the ball on the left side of the penalty area and shot directly, this shot was powerful and heavy, and the ball was slightly off the post and shocked Trapp into a cold sweat.
In the 28th minute, Neymar knocked back on the left side of the field, Iniesta took the ball and grabbed a long-range shot before Verratti blocked it, and the ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds.
The quality of these attacks is extremely high, Li Liang can hardly believe that Paris's defense is so vulnerable in front of Barcelona, you know, Paris defeated Barcelona 4:0 in the first leg!
Falcao also sighed: "Barcelona will definitely score in the first half!" β
Not long after he finished speaking, in the 40th minute, Suarez won the ball in the front of the penalty area, and he directly picked up the ball in the penalty area under the attack of Verratti and Rabiot.
The ball crossed Marquinhos in front of him, Iniesta had quickly inserted to surpass Marquinhos, and in the panic, the Brazilian central defender turned to review the map but did not kick the middle part, Xiaobai rushed to the goal with his back to the goal and knocked the ball to the middle with his heel!
Before Raphinha, who had outflanked the goal, could react, the panicked Kurzawa had already jumped up and barely tried to clear the siege with his very bad right foot, and the ball bounced on the hapless Kurzava's leg and flew towards his own door!
Trapp had already gone down to the ground to try to block Xiaobai, and there was nothing he could do about this weird own goal, so he had to watch the ball roll and fly into the goal!
2:0, Barcelona's continuous onslaught scored again, and they finally pulled the aggregate score to 2:4 before the end of the first half, two goals away from the miracle!
In the frantic shouts of the fans, Li Liang and Falcao looked at each other, and each other had expressions of disbelief.
At this moment, Li Liangdu felt that he was hallucinating, this is the performance of the world-class defense line that Paris is proud of and whose strength is the highest in Ligue 1?
The sister-in-law of the world's number one centre-back, Marquinhos, a new member of the Brazilian national team, France's future star of hope at left wing-back Kurzava, and German goalkeeper Trapp's disastrous performances have made Paris look precarious at Camp Nou.
The referee finally blew the whistle at half-time to save Grand Paris on the brink of collapse for the time being.
Even at halftime, the fans were still loud, and Li Liang said to Falcao: "Radamel, I think as long as Barcelona scores another goal, Paris may not be able to withstand it." β
Falcao replied: "Yes, it seems that I underestimated Barcelona today, they played their best performance of the season.
But I always felt that as long as Paris returned to normal a little bit, they couldn't have conceded two more goals like this!? β
At the beginning of the second half, less than two minutes later, Xiaobai skimmed the ball over Verratti in the left corner of the penalty area and sent it directly behind Belgian right wingback Meunier, who started in place of Aurier.
Neymar tried to force an overtake from the outside, and Meunier, who was 1.90 meters tall, was closer to the ball but slipped and fell to the ground when he turned!
The instinctive Belgian, who was at the back, pushed hard a few steps when he was about to fall to the ground, and fell in front of Neymar who was striding forward!
After a clear collision between the two sides, Neymar lost his balance and fell down in the penalty area!
The whole Camp Nou roared angrily, and Marquinhos, who heard the referee's whistle, waved desperately to signal Neymar to fake a fall!
The referee waved his hand and resolutely pointed to the penalty spot, and Paris was sentenced to death!
Even louder cheers erupted again, and Li Liang and Falcao were dumbfounded! In the third minute of the second half, Barcelona once again had a chance to expand the score!
This is a wonderful drama that no director can make!
The referee quelled the scuffle in the penalty area and Messi picked up the ball and walked to the penalty spot.
Li Liang's heartbeat began to accelerate, this is the Camp Nou, where he has scored tens of thousands of penalties in virtual practice!
At this moment, Li Liang feels that Messi must be facing the most difficult penalty in the world!
Can the best player in the world score a penalty that could easily be the difference between life and death?
The whole court was quiet, Messi put the ball and slowly retreated, and Messi got up with his left foot to hit the left side of the goal after the referee blew the whistle one step, two steps, and three steps to complete the run!
Trapp judged the right direction, but the ball was too fast for him to touch the ball, 3:0!
The fans who had already stood up nervously saw Messi desperately rushing into the net to get the ball back, and then hugged the captain Xiaobai tightly, everyone shouted with all their strength, Li Liang saw that many fans around him were leaving tears of excitement and roaring desperately.
Everyone raised their hands above their heads and made a gesture of worship on the field, "Messi!" "Messi!" A loud shout resounded throughout the audience.
It's just one ball away from a miracle!
The rest looks getting simpler, as Barcelona score one more goal in the remaining 40 minutes of play to draw 4-4, and it will be difficult to resist the home team that has played at the highest level after being dragged into extra-time!
The fans saw Unai Emery rushing into the command area like crazy and roaring at the terrified Parisian players on the field, and all the stands burst into boos.
Unai Emery's shouting seemed to play a role, and the Parisian players were clearly aggressive, and they began to press back and try to salvage the situation with attacks.
Paris' hard work paid off in the 51st minute, when Verratti was forced by Rakitic to get the ball from the back and the ball flew past Umtiti to the right side of the box.
Meunier, who was eager to make a contribution, had already inserted the assist at high speed, and he strode towards the landing point of the ball under the pursuit of Neymar, and then the big man of 1.90m suddenly made a wonderful lob and jumped the ball beautifully over Neymar who pounced!
Meunier didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and swept the ball straight into the middle before Pique could fill in with it!
After running for nearly 20 meters, Cardazo firmly leaned on Brother Xiaoma, and the two fell to the ground almost at the same time, and Cardazo took the first step to kick the ball!
The little lion didn't react at all, he was still moving towards the middle and the ball flew from behind him towards the goal! "When" the ball hit the left post and popped up on the bottom line, and Barcelona escaped!
The fans all looked like they were left to die, and Li Liang, who was relieved, explained to Xiaoyu: "If Paris scores an away goal, there will be no extra time in this game."
They had to fight it out for 90 minutes! β
In the subsequent game, as Falcao expected, the physical fitness of the whole Barcelona team seemed to have entered the extreme state in advance, and Paris, which was standing on the edge of the cliff, began to attack instead of defending, attacking with all its might, and the scene between the two sides gradually returned to balance.
"It's like the real Paris," Falcao said.
This season, Barcelona's defense has dropped very badly, and under normal circumstances, Paris must still have a chance if they insist on attacking! β
Before the words fell, Emery removed Lucas Jr. in the 55th minute and replaced him with Angel Di Maria.
Di Maria, who used to play for Real Madrid, received the biggest boos of the whole game when he came out, and the Barcelona fans showed no mercy for him.
In the 61st minute, Rakitic pulled down Draxler, who was on a quick counter-attack, near the center circle, and received a yellow card while giving Paris a midfield free-kick.
Verratti's quick free kick was directly behind Mascherano, and Barcelona's defense had a collective short circuit, only Rakitic reacted, but Kurzava forced himself to jump in the air with his inexplicable physical fitness and forced the ball back to the middle!
Pique's reaction was to no avail, and Cadazo rushed to Zhang Bow and shoot directly! The ball went over Pique like a cannonball and smashed into the top right corner of the goal, and the little lion didn't react!
The huge Bernabeu fell into a dead silence in an instant, the frantic shouts of the Parisian players could be heard clearly, and the visiting fans, who had been drowned out by the sound of the home fans for most of the half, were also reactivated!
Emery and his assistants hugged excitedly, the substitutes in Paris rushed into the field and hugged their teammates tightly, everyone hugged the crying Cardazo, and the angel put his index finger to his mouth in the stands and made a "shhhh
Paris celebrated like they had won the championship, and Buzques walked into the net to pick up the ball and throw it into the center circle, his face as dazed as the big logarithmic players.
Li Liang suddenly felt heartache, not only for Barcelona, who had tried his best, but he suddenly remembered the feeling when he lost to Lyon and Manchester City, he suddenly stood up involuntarily and put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "There is still time!" Don't give up! β
Although many fans around him couldn't understand what he was shouting, when they saw the Barcelona flag in his hand, they immediately roared along with him, doing their best to continue to inspire the team!
Messi, Neymar, Suarez and Xiaobai all looked at this stand, and Messi raised his hand and gave a thumbs up to the defense here!
Enrique got up from the bench and turned around and clapped vigorously in the direction of Li Liang and them, he was suddenly stunned for a moment and then rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken, it was the No. 17 from Monaco!
Enrique straightened his arm and pointed at Li Liang, who was standing, and Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Brother Liangzi, he's pointing at you!" β
Falcao, who was sitting on the side, also asked in surprise: "Luis (Enrique) knows you?" β
Li Liang nodded vigorously at Enrique! He didn't think too much about it, he just didn't want to see Barcelona's efforts fail so early!
Enrique turned his head and replaced Xiaobai, who was almost exhausted of energy, with Turkish titan Alda Turan, who waited on the touchline and held Xiaobai's hand tightly.
There was a huge round of applause from the stands, and the fans were paying tribute to the captain who gave everything.
Barcelona began to force pressure again, and Paris immediately retreated to score a solid counter-attack, and they immediately had a great opportunity again.
In the 64th minute, Draxler made a clever straight plug on the left side of the front, and Cavani's clever anti-offside position successfully shook off Xiao Ma and Pique to get a single knife! Fortunately, the little lion played bravely and accurately saved Kadazuo's push! Barcelona once again stubbornly crawled out of the abyss.
In the following game, Barcelona continued to besiege the opponent, and in the 75th minute, Raphinha was brought down by Angels when he broke through on the right side of the front, and Barcelona won a free kick in front, and Raphinha was replaced by Roberto.
Messi personally took the free kick, he used his left foot to send the ball near the penalty spot, the attacking Trapp and the clear brother and daughter-in-law collided, the brother-in-law's header did not go far, Turan struggled to a ball and flew out of bounds against the crossbar again, and the whole stadium once again resounded a huge sigh.
Falcao shook his head and said: "It's too difficult, Barcelona have done their best, they have to score three goals to reverse the rest of the time, and they also have to defend against the attack of Paris."
It's really hard.
It's a shame that such a great performance ......"
Li Liang didn't say a word.
Seeing that Messi and Neymar are still facing the dense defense of Paris again and again, he believes that if he can see the overall rating now, their total rating must have "jumped" to the highest.
The question that has been bothering Li Liang has finally been answered.
What exactly is the total rating?
Why do small men like Shiva and Sergio Aguero shine in the intense professional arena?
Messi and Neymar in front of them, as well as Xiaobai who has left the game, and Verratti in Paris are not all like this?
and Buzkes, who seems to be extremely slow, can always calmly get rid of and advance in the face of pressing......
How did these players, who don't seem to be in good enough condition, become such superstars?
Li Liang had already seen too many opponents with extraordinary talents, beast-like physique, or skill at their feet and their superb skills, why didn't they get such a high overall rating?
Li Liang gradually felt that the answer to this question should actually be-
What exactly is football!
He stared at the field, there was not much time left in the game, and he couldn't help but say silently in his heart: "Come on, please let me know, what football is!"
Let me find the reason why I've always loved it! β
The game had come to the 86th minute, and even when all the Barcelona diehards in the stands were about to give up hope, almost everyone who followed the game did not know or expect that an epic feast was about to kick off.
There are also a few who are unwilling and have not thought of giving up.
One of them, still trying to keep his oathβ
Even though this pre-match vow has become the laughing stock of the world, he still chooses to believe it.
