Chapter Seventy-Two: Two Goals (Part I)

"I don't think it's necessary at all, Coach Tito."

Pep Guardiola said of Vilanova: "Van is a very good player and although the relationship between him and FC Barcelona is strained, I am happy to admit it. But I always think that times are different and that a player's individual ability is important and can play a vital role in the game a lot of times, but it's not absolute. No one can change the outcome of the game on their own. Leo is brilliant, but he also benefits from the full support of a great team. Van may be as good as Leo, but he's not Pele, he's not Diego, even if he is, but this era is the era of team football! ”

The meaning of Guardiola's words is that Fan Bizhuang is very good, but he is a human being, not a god, and there is no soil for the survival of "superheroes" in this era.

"That's because what you know about Fan is only superficial."

This is Vilanova's inner voice, and Vilanova's attitude is noncommittal about what his immediate boss says.

"Believe me, I can't be wrong, it's a lot of luck. If he was given another chance like this, he might not be able to score a goal in ten shots! Guardiola continued to shake his head, "Moreover, Abidal did a good job, there were no mistakes in his previous defence, and he firmly restrained Fan. It was just an accident, the blame for conceding the goal is not on him, and I think he will continue to cause huge problems for Van in the rest of the day. ”

As for Guardiola's statement, Vilanova is half agreeing, half shaking his head. The ultra-long-distance hanging door, it is obviously unrealistic to say that there is no element of luck, but this also confirms from the side that Fan Bizhuang is in good condition, and his observation and decisiveness are extremely good, so he can seize this opportunity that is not an opportunity.

But to say that Abidal was able to completely restrain Fan Bizhuang, Bilanova did not believe it at all. Yes, throughout the first half, Fan Bizhuang didn't seem to have many impressive performances, but was that all the credit to Abidal? Didn't you notice that Fan Bizhuang was wandering around with Abidal? Or is there a problem with Abidal's physical fitness, and you turn a blind eye?

Vilanova suddenly felt that Guardiola was a very stubborn person, and he preferred to believe what he believed and firm his judgment, which made Vilanova lose the heart to continue to advise. He's just an assistant coach, all he can do is make his own suggestions, and if the other party accepts them, that's someone else's business. Anyway, Pep Guardiola is the manager of the team, and he is right about everything.

After another deep look at the teenager on the field, Vilanova returned to the dugout and sat down.

"Maybe he'll tell you, what's ...... Regret! ”

Bilanova thought so and closed his eyes.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After almost two minutes of silence, the Camp Nou was once again in a state of bustle, with the home fans once again raising their voices and boos and invective wafting through the stadium.

Fan Bizhuang's super lob shot is wonderful, but so what? They are enemies, antagonists who hate to press each other to the ground and rub them hard, so they will still just boo at them.

Like Pep Guardiola's thoughts, most fans thought that the goal was just an accident, or that Van Bizhuang had shit luck.

Of course, as for the reason why these fans are endlessly booing and invective, whether they have "fear" in their hearts, so it is unknown whether they are emboldened or interfered with someone in this way.

When the game restarted, Barcelona used a calm and fast pass to stabilize their defense, not to let this time the goal bring them more negative psychological impact, after the loss of the goal will inevitably have a period of "turbulence", this time period is easy to be taken advantage of by the opponent again, Barcelona is very experienced, so it is not in a hurry to push out, but choose to stabilize the position first.

The morale of the Real Madrid players has been greatly boosted, and they have been more active in running and pressing.

However, Barcelona's passing was too adept and their saves were mostly in vain.

Barcelona controlled the ball, passed back and forth and pulled, Real Madrid ran around and pressed, and everything seemed to be the same as before.

But everything seems to be completely different from before.

At least, Real Madrid is a little less depressed and hesitant on the mental level, and the faces of the players are more positive and unwilling.

The gap between the two goals is now only one goal, and the most important thing is that Fan Bizhuang's super hanging shot has restored a lot of confidence to Real Madrid.

Yes, they have been on the underdog side in recent years, and Barcelona are indeed strong today, so strong that they seem invincible.

But Van Bizhuang's goal gave everyone a glimmer of hope – the opponent is strong, but we are not bad either! We are also a top club, we also have top players, Van used the goal to show that Barcelona's door is not impenetrable, and if you can score one goal, why can't you score two, three?

Sometimes actions are more inspiring than words, and Manuel Pellegrini's encouragement in the dressing room is like a pie drawn, with players unclear on what the future holds, but Van Bizhuang's goal is real and everyone can see the gap between them and their opponents – the kind that seems to be overcome!

In such a situation, no one wants to give up, and the players are starting to believe that if they work harder, they can take that step and completely close the gap.

The spirit of the Real Madrid players is very strong, even if Barcelona's familiar cooperation has made them do too much useless work, but they are still actively running and fighting.

Being pressed by Real Madrid continuously, Barcelona's life has also begun to become a little difficult, although they can control the ball at their feet for a long time, but it is not a long-term solution, first, the offensive is difficult to push out, second, they must also maintain a long time of focus, because a lax or inattentive, Real Madrid's quick grab may break the ball.

Barcelona's formation gradually moved closer and purposefully, and they had to do so in order to pass the ball faster and safer. And Real Madrid doesn't care about their opponents, they are still rushing, running, and grabbing with great interest, like "mad dogs".

This kind of unreasonable crazy robbery, to a certain extent, is indeed an effective way to curb the penetration of Barcelona's short passes, in the case of the whole Real Madrid team running crazy, the situation of the game is changing imperceptibly, the situation on the field began to become evenly matched and stalemate, the two sides maintained a balance in a short period of time, and no one could do anything to the opponent.

But the balance is always broken, just like all the rules and records in the world, which were established to wait for the future to be broken.

In the face of Barcelona, which is unique in the world of passing and control ability, the whole field is crazy to press at any cost, and there are only two results, one is to achieve what you want, mess up the opponent's defense, so as to score a goal, and the other is that you still have no way to take the opponent, waiting for your physical fitness and energy to decline, that is, to be ruthlessly killed by the butcher's knife wielded by the opponent.

In the past, when facing Barcelona, whether it was Capello or Pellegrini's predecessor Juand. Ramos has tried this kind of full-court pressing and quick counterattack play, but the final result is not very optimistic. The reason is that Real Madrid did not hold on until the last moment, and there were problems with physical fitness and energy, and then they were pushed back by Barcelona and pushed down in one fell swoop.

Obviously, today's Real Madrid did not wait until the last moment to successfully achieve the goal, which is undoubtedly extremely beneficial and has the upper hand in the next game.

In the 69th minute, under Real Madrid's continuous and frantic pressing, Barcelona's pass was finally pressed and made a mistake, Busquets's transfer force was slightly less, Abidal had not yet run to the position, Van Bizhuang rushed forward like lightning and took the lead in stabbing the football away.

Abidal also reacted quickly, reaching out and rushing forward quickly, both to foul and to catch up with Fan Bizhuang's sprint.

But his wish was disappointed in the next second.

His speed was too far from Fan Bizhuang, and he was "walked" by the other party and ran crazy on the field for half a time, and his physical fitness was a little unable to keep up, Fan Bizhuang just accelerated, and completely opened the distance between him, and his hand only caught a ball of air, watching the other party run farther and farther.

"Fan! Fan!! Fast forward, fast ball ride! It's so fast! Everything is too fast! Everything happens only in the light of light! Abidal could only watch the other party gallop away! ”

"There is a word called Wangyang Xingsigh, and now, Fan has taught Abidal a new word, that is-Wangfan Xingsigh!"

"Van rushes forward with the ball at high speed! This is a great counter-attack opportunity for Real Madrid! Puyol burst out of the penalty area, he rushed towards Van Van Fan, Van Fan ...... What will he do! ”

on the pitch.

Puyol quickly ran out of the box and met Van Bizhuang.

In fact, his move is very unwise, because Raul and C. Ronaldo are sprinting towards the penalty area, and his departure will inevitably leave more hidden dangers in the penalty area, but at the moment he has no choice, if he can't stop Fan Bizhuang, then the opponent is likely to go straight up, either directly into the penalty area, or fire on the spot.

And no matter which one it is, the consequences may be unbearable for the team, so he can only "take care" of Fan Bizhuang first, and he can't take care of the rest.

Obviously, Puyol went for a foul, and in a one-on-one situation, he was not sure to stop Fan Bizhuang, and if the opponent chose to pass, he would naturally be at a greater disadvantage.

Thinking of the result that he is likely to face after committing a foul, the corners of Puyol's mouth are a little bitter, once he was "messed up" off the court by the opponent, and now, he can only stop the other party by fouling the card, is he really a grudge with the guy in front of him in his last life?

The thought of self-ridicule just flashed quickly in his mind, Fan Bizhuang had already run in front of him with the ball, without any hesitation, Puyol directly put the shovel in the middle of the run, and his right foot was attached to the turf to show the spike - this is a deterrent and warning to Fan Bizhuang, if you want the ball or get injured, choose for yourself!
