Chapter 358: Iroh Moment

*****

After the goal, Ronaldinho made his trademark celebration and then ran to the corner area to dance the samba, which was greeted by the Barcelona fans in the stands.

At the moment, they are completely at the bottom of their minds, and Ronaldinho will surely win the match against Valencia and conquer their fans at the same time, as he did at the Bernabeu Stadium this season!

Barcelona's players celebrated like they had won.

Ronaldinho's goal not only allowed the score on the field to exceed the score, but also made the whole team more confident of winning this game!

Valencia's players looked very helpless about the goal, the previous defense had done a very good job, but what they didn't expect was that Ronaldinho would suddenly break out, change the rhythm on the field, and play individual heroes.

So at this moment it seems very helpless.

Because the crazy Ronaldinho is incomprehensible, just like this goal just now.

At the same time, the Copa del Rey seems to be getting farther and farther away.

*****

Almost the entire Valencia team was crushed by Ronaldinho's goal.

This is the second meeting between the two teams in five days, the last game was a 1-2 defeat at home to Barcelona, and this season's league win has to be 3-2 and 4-2 respectively, and the huge contrast has almost made them lose confidence.

However, there are exceptions to this rule.

Because Iroh hasn't collapsed yet!

His idea was very simple, that is, to beat Ronaldinho, who was even more impressive, and only in this way would this match be meaningful.

The loss to Barcelona in the last game was just an accident!

And this game must be in their own hands, and the Copa del Rey will never be handed over!!

Iroh clenched his fists and stared at his huge poster, making up his mind.

*****

At this time, many commentators set the tone for this game.

"Now Barcelona has exceeded the score on the field, then the next thing is to see Valencia's adjustment, this game is the fourth meeting between the two teams this season, Valencia is two wins and one loss, a slight advantage, but if this game ends according to this score, then Barcelona will tie the competition between the two teams in this season, maybe the victory of this game will not only bring them a Copa del Rey championship, four days later, There is also the final match of the season between the two teams at the Mestalla Stadium, and that game is also the most important match for both teams......"

Ronaldinho's goal not only helped Barcelona to overtake the scoreline, but also gave the team an advantage in the 90 minutes of the game, and they only need to hold on for the next 30 minutes to win this season's Copa del Rey but ...... Rijkaard's Barcelona will certainly not be satisfied with a one-goal lead and will certainly continue to work hard to extend the score to ......

"The Argentine youngster Leo Messi, who has been in good form recently, has warmed up on the field, and at this time Barcelona is ready to keep the pressure on Valencia, I believe that a goal will definitely not satisfy Barcelona, and the next game will be more and more difficult for Valencia, who are one goal behind......"

……

……

And these tones are generally not optimistic about Valencia's next games.

Not to mention the fact that the score was behind on the field, and the loss of a big player like Vicente before the game, and put the whole attack on the shoulders of a 20-year-old, is a fact that is hard to believe.

Even if the youngster has just broken Altafini's single-season Champions League scoring record that has been in the dust for many years.

After all, Iroh is a man, not a god!

But there is one thing they overlook, and that is Iroh's spirit of not admitting defeat!

He put in 99 games, which means that he will put his best energy into the game throughout the game.

Unless, Barcelona don't have a single leak in their defense!

*****

After Valencia restarted, it didn't take many passes before they were tackled by Barcelona's players, and then they quickly organized their attacks, or Canizares was very focused, then Ronaldinho would also score a hat-trick.

Flores stood on the sidelines anxious, and if it weren't for the situation, he would have been ready to kick it off.

Seeing Messi standing on the sidelines and preparing to play, Flores quickly turned around, looked around in front of the bench, and finally fixed on Albiol.

He then conveyed to the players on the field the latest tactical idea, that is, to stabilize the defense during this time.

Otherwise, if the score has not been equalized on the field, and the score will be widened, then the winner of the Copa del Rey will really fly away.

Fortunately, Valencia's players have a very high tactical execution ability, coupled with the running of Albelda and Baraja, the situation on the field has temporarily stabilized.

But Barcelona's attack has not weakened because of this, as if fighting with Valencia's defense, if you defend me, I will attack, if you keep defending, I will keep attacking.

It's like not giving up if you don't stretch the score on the field to two goals.

Ten minutes later, Barcelona still hasn't scored, and the score on the field is still 2:1

Fifteen minutes later, Barcelona still played familiar pass-and-control football, but the score on the field was still 2:1

The score did not change, but the time of the game kept ticking, and with each second that passed, Valencia reduced the time by one second to equalize the score.

The time on the field was almost the eightieth minute, and Flores looked at the situation on the field, and his head was big.

Because Barcelona still dominates the rhythm of the field, although Valencia also had two good counter-attack opportunities during this time, it is well worth it to defuse two threats at the cost of two yellow cards at the expense of Van Bommel and Van Bronckhorst.

On the field, Valencia's players were so busy with the defense that they simply didn't have time to free up their hands to attack.

Flores sighed, as if she had made up her mind.

If you lose the Copa del Rey, you lose......

So he turned his head and looked at the bench again, huh? What about Raul??

It was only then that he remembered that he had not been called back to warm up by calling Albiol before......

In the 83rd minute, Albiol replaced David Villa.

Flores' substitution also caused controversy among the national commentators in the studio.

"Enrique Flores, who replaced a striker with a defensive midfielder in the 83rd minute of the match, was his substitution ready to give up on this final? But...... It's quite similar, after all, since the beginning of the second half, Valencia's attack has not been smooth, but Barcelona has the initiative......"

"Beautiful! The Valencians have finally made a substitution, right...... Giving up this game is the best option for you, if you continue to do this, it is very likely that we will increase the score on the field, and losing to 3:1 is not as good as losing 2:1......"

"Although this substitution is more like preparing for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in four days' time, I always feel that this substitution is a hidden killer, because at the moment Valencia's defence is in a hurry, and it may be better to change to a defensive midfielder to strengthen the defense than to hoard attacking players in front, which may have a good effect, but ...... Is it a little late to change people at this time? ”

……

……

When Iroh saw Albiol playing, his eyes lit up!

Although the side has hoarded four attacking players since the start of the second half, they are not together, and under Barcelona's defensive system, it is more like playing separately.

Now it seems that one less striker and more midfielder is to give up the rhythm of the game, but the presence of Albiol will make Valencia more solid defensively, and as the defense is solid, then the chances of counter-attacking will inevitably start to increase.

So Iroh began to regain his confidence, even though it was almost 90 minutes into the game!

Ronaldinho picked up the ball on the edge of the box on the left side and instantly caught the attention of Albiol, Moretti and Marchena because he was in such good form for the game.

Then his body leaned to the left and made a move to break through to the baseline, Albiol, Moretti and Marchena subconsciously rushed to the baseline, but just as they moved, Ronaldinho's right outside of the instep turned the football back, and then took advantage of the three's center of gravity to turn back, and crossed.

The football flew to the back point, and Messi and Eloo, who were replaced in the second half, rushed to the landing point, but Aurelio was in a better position than the two, and he was also very accurate in the timing of the jump, grabbing the ball directly in front of him before the two, which was the direction of Ronaldinho's ball just now.

Taking advantage of the distance, Mores used the outside of his right foot to send the ball forward.

Baraja was a bit ill-prepared, but Xavi in front of him was the same, taking advantage of his height and leg length to poke the ball forward and then start to start, but in order to avoid Ronaldinho, who was also running back, he used a bit too much force.

Fortunately, the overall effect was very good, he caught the ball back before the qualification, and then looked up to look for the receiving teammate in front of him, and this look just saw Iroh waiting in front of him, so he passed the ball without hesitation.

Suddenly, Van Bronckhorst became nervous.

And Van Bommel in the back of the side also consciously approached, waiting for Iro's next move.

Iello looked at the football passed by Baraja, but it was not very fast, so he stepped back and waited for the football to come up, so Van Bommel in the back and Van Bronckhorst in front of him did not step forward at the first time.

In their eyes, an Iroh who didn't lift up his speed was the equivalent of a toothless tiger.

But Iroh's next move made them regret it.

Iroh, who took small steps forward, waited until the football reached his feet, but changed his previous slow pace, poked the ball hard with the tip of his right foot to the front court, and then bypassed the outside of the sideline and chased the ball.

At the same time, the Valencia fans at the Calderón Stadium stood up violently and chanted in unison.

This scene is all too familiar to them.

Because it's - Iroh moment!
