Chapter 172: Xiao Luo's performance

The commentators introduced the appearance of both sides with great interest in the commentary seat, especially for Fan Bizhuang, they are even more inked, no way, football games, in addition to exciting excitement, also need more topicality, obviously, Fan Bizhuang, who was once a member of Barcelona, faced the old master this time, has such a gimmick, he will be more and more courageous, or will he be sluggish, and the state is sluggish, which is the focus of everyone's discussion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the eyes of the commentator and most neutral fans, it is natural that Fan Bizhuang is in a brave state, and it is more appetizing to face the script of the old master's counterattack.

But in reality, these people's wishes are doomed to fail.

For both sides of the game, although it has been given more meaning by many media and fans, to put it bluntly, this is just an ordinary league, victory is what both sides want, because of this, the two sides are afraid of each other, Villarreal is the league leader, to be able to sit in this position, no matter how strong it is, it should not be underestimated, even if the players of Barcelona are confident, they dare not take it lightly.

As for Villarreal, they are also cautious about the traditional top giants who have been calling for decades in La Liga, the shadow of the famous tree, Barcelona is not a nouveau riche, their heritage, their strength, and the names of these thunderous stars on the field, all of which make them have to play 12% of their energy and deal with it wholeheartedly.

There are scruples between the two, and they don't dare to press the onslaught completely at the beginning, so the game naturally entered the tentative stage.

Barcelona's pass-and-possession style of play can be described as a must in today's football, they are good at passing and controlling the rhythm of the game, and their tactical play is not the kind of fierce way to open and close, so they are not in a hurry, after the game starts, they are very patient to pass back and forth, push forward when they have the opportunity, run and pass if they don't have the opportunity, and slowly look for loopholes in the opponent's defense.

Villarreal is also a team that emphasizes the whole, Barcelona does not move, they will not stupidly come up and fight hard with each other, against a team like Barcelona with strong transmission ability, the fight is too fierce, can only be boring, so as to expose their weak electricity.

They organized their defence in an orderly manner, allowing Barcelona to pass the ball and play with flowers, and they were determined not to let the opponent easily step into the 30-meter minefield. And after breaking the football, he did not entangle with the opponent in the midfield, and directly kicked a big foot in front of him, allowing the players in the front court to impact.

This is a very typical defensive tactic, it can be said that although Villarreal is now at the top of the league standings, they are putting their posture very low, many weak teams in the face of Barcelona, will make such a choice of defensive counterattack, Villarreal put themselves in a weak position, easily unwilling to save.

This is the pre-match arrangement of manager Manuel Pellegrini, and the players have embraced this tactic, for Barcelona, they are particularly fearful, in a way, they are more difficult to deal with than Real Madrid, because Barcelona's tactical play is too deceptive, they can be fast and slow, often when the opponent is not looking, accurate passes tear apart the defence, and then lead to the loss of the ball.

At the Camp Nou, the first thing they have to do is to stand on the defensive, at least to ensure that they don't concede goals, and as for the attack, they can only try it slowly.

Barcelona easily occupies the initiative in the midfield, skillful and fluent cooperation on the field is constantly carried out, but it does not stop there, Villarreal is extremely strict in defense at the back, the back Hosico sweeps back and forth, Cazorla and Van Bizhuang on the side also run back from time to time to assist in the defense, the entire midfield is made into an iron bucket by Villarreal, and Barcelona is helpless for a while.

And they are also worried about the opponent's rapid counterattack, Forlan and Rossi two strikers are always cruising in the front, both of them have skills and speed, plus Fan Bizhuang from time to time to step forward, his speed is like a sharp blade, under the frequent harassment of several of them, Barcelona did not dare to attack with all their strength.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, it fell into a kind of balance of power, although Barcelona took the initiative, but there was no sign of turning the advantage into a victory, and Villarreal as a whole tended to be defensive, but their quick counterattack was very sharp, and the rapid forward after grabbing the ball several times, although it did not pose much threat to the home team's goal, it still made people break out in a cold sweat.

The two teams were fiercely entangled on the field, and neither had anything to do with the other, so the scene naturally seemed a little dull, and many fans even felt drowsy.

In fact, this is Barcelona's current style of football, their passing can even be dazzling, but the way of slow swallowing is a little speechless, the most exciting moment, of course, is that they suddenly speed up, or the final pass and kick, but such moments always come too suddenly, many fans have fallen asleep in advance before waiting for this moment.

"Since ancient times, the tournament has been nameless, and both teams are jealous of each other and dare not attack with all their might!"

"So far, there have been no highlights. Barcelona is still their best passing, but no matter how many passes are made, no matter how accurate they are, there is no substantial breakthrough, and it is just in vain! ”

"Villarreal, they seem to be addicted to stubbornness! In previous matches, Villarreal's attacking football was very characteristic and sharp, but now it seems that they are like a group of soft-footed shrimp with no ambition. Are they frightened by Barcelona's big names? ”

"And Fan ...... Well, I don't want to say how good he is defensively, but God, you're a striker, you're an offensive player, what's the deal with you not doing your job, always going back to defense? Attack, Fan, run, run faster, tear through Barcelona's defenses, and stab your former club in the heart! ”

"What about revenge? What about the Prince's Revenge? Isn't it possible that you plan to spend 90 minutes in mediocrity? Oh my God, this is definitely not what the fans want to see! ”

More than 20 minutes have passed since the game, and neither team has made the slightest achievement, and the commentators on the commentary bench can't help but complain, and some people directly shout, signaling the two teams to cheer up and fight violently.

Villarreal's manager, Manuel Pellegrini, stood on the sidelines, his expression calm, but he frowned imperceptibly.

Such a game situation is that in his estimates, Barcelona's strength is undoubted, and his team is not weak, but compared to the opponent, it is still a lot worse. Being able to use the procrastination trick to drag the opponent and not fall behind for the time being is already a good result.

The reason why he frowned was because he was a little dissatisfied with Fan Bizhuang's performance. In fact, Fan Bizhuang is a "pawn" he has placed the greatest expectations on, very simply, Fan Bizhuang has the speed to break through, and an extremely accurate passing ability, which is particularly brilliant in counterattacks. Villarreal's established tactics in this game are to defend and counterattack, and Van Bizhuang plays the most important role in the counterattack, his impact ability, his ability to score and assist, are the biggest weight for the team to win.

But so far, Fan Bizhuang is more assisting Hosiko in defense, and that's it, after all, the team's overall strategy is to be based on defense first, and it makes sense for Fan Bizhuang to run to help. But in several counterattacks, Fan Bizhuang did not play his due role, often after receiving the ball, he did the football back, or quickly passed the football to the penalty area, without change, so that the threat was discounted.

That's not all, obviously, Fan Bizhuang's running is not as active as before, he is almost fixed in the left position of the center circle, cruising back and forth, and there is no speed, just like a leisurely stroll.

This disappointed Pellegrini.

"Is it because when I came to the court, I consumed too much physical energy, so I didn't have enough energy and couldn't keep up my spirits?"

That's the only explanation Pellegrini can think of. Of course he didn't believe that Fan Bizhuang was unbalanced because of his mentality in the face of the old master, what kind of person Fan Bizhuang was, he knew better than anyone that this kid was a freak, born with a big stadium, such a factor could not bring him the slightest impact at all.

Manuel Pellegrini shook his head and continued to focus on the situation at the start. He decided to take another look and if Fan Bizhuang's performances continued to be so sluggish, he would choose to replace him. Rather than letting Fan Bizhuang wander meaninglessly on the field with poor performance, it is better to let him rest well and also give other players some opportunities.

The game continued.

The reason why Barcelona is the top super club in La Liga, and in recent seasons it has stabilized Real Madrid, it is naturally impossible to have only such a little effort. Their skillful passing was already making it difficult for their opponents, and as the clock ticked into the thirtieth minute, Barcelona finally showed their fangs, and the speed of their passes increased dramatically, and the pace of the game became faster.

In the 33rd minute, Xavi organized in the middle, and the football passed to the feet of Ronaldinho on the wing, and Ronaldo, who had a bucktooth, began his wonderful performance, he continued to shake off Cazorla and Xaviventa with exquisite and delicate foot skills, and when everyone thought he would cross on the side, a light pluck changed direction and went towards the middle.

Godin, who rushed out of the penalty area, wanted to block, but was shaken by his beautiful tail flicking action, and it was too late to defend, Xiao Luo directly kicked on the line of the penalty area, and a curved ball with obvious trajectory drew a semicircle in the air and fell straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Barbosa threw his body out and tried his best to make a save, but he couldn't touch the ball in the slightest, and the football elf plunged headlong into the net.

1:0!

Barcelona, sitting at home, broke the deadlock with the outstanding individual ability of the Brazilian and took a one-goal lead!
