Chapter 382: Defeat Barcelona

*****

The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the new season was packed at the Camp Nou.

As soon as the away Valencia players entered, there were boos in the sky, making Ballack, who entered the Camp Nou stadium as a Valencia player for the first time, couldn't help frowning.

Is this the hospitality at Camp Nou?

Of course, this is not the nervousness of the battle-hardened Barak, but the doubt.

Doubt?

Right!

Then Iello cleared his mind, "Hey, Michael, are you uncomfortable with the boos coming from the stands at the Camp Nou?" ”

Barak nodded subconsciously.

"They're booing me!" Iroh immediately laughed, "But...... That's because they're scared of me, so I have a way to shut him up! ”

Barak once again showed a puzzled expression when he heard this, but Iroh didn't explain this time, instead turned his head to look at the stand with the biggest boos, and grinned, "You'll find out later." ”

……

……

Sure enough, just three minutes into the game, the boos at the Camp Nou came to an abrupt end.

Barak instantly understood what Iroh was trying to say.

Barcelona's home game against Valencia was a test of the depths of the opposition, but what they didn't expect was that Airo would get into the groove so quickly, taking advantage of a corner kick just three minutes into the opening three minutes to force Thuram to head the ball into Valdés' goal.

When Iroh ran to the corner to celebrate, the boos that had stopped abruptly just now rang out again at this moment, louder than the boos that had been made before the opening.

"Damn Chinese, arrogant what? This is Camp Nou! ”

"What's the big deal about scoring goals? You're a piece of! ”

"Haha, you're a yellow-skinned monkey, uncle, please eat bananas!!"

……

……

Hearing the chaotic shouts of insults and boos from the stands, Iroh did not get angry, but made a gesture that listened to his ears, but instead of making the voices of the home fans in the stands quieter, his action became louder and louder, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as deafening.

Listening to the louder and louder boos and insults, Iroh laughed, then held out a finger and shook it.

As Iroh prepares to celebrate, he is hugged by his teammates.

****

Barcelona did not play all the main force in this game, because Ronaldinho strained his thigh muscle during pre-match training, and Xavi was also absent due to injury, but the strength of the squad is definitely not inferior to Valencia, who is the main force.

Moreover...... With Thuram, one of the best centre-backs in the world, added to the backline, it should be stronger, right?

It's just that what they didn't expect was that because their back line was stronger, they led to defensive negligence, and they were found by Ailo to find an opportunity and hit a fatal blow!

Especially Thuram, who gave a challenge to Ailo before the game, his defensive awareness and physical intelligence are very good, he didn't expect to lose to Ailo in the header duel, and also caused a goal, which was a direct slap in the face.

The hot pain made him energetic to give Iroh some color in the next game after the restart.

But in the next game, Ailo didn't seem to want to find him to break through, he chose to pass and cooperate, and rarely broke through on the side or forced to break through, so the dragging central defender Thuram did not find a suitable opportunity.

In the nineteenth minute, his chance finally came.

Iroh used his speed advantage on the left to force a break through Oleg's defence, and Thuram immediately saw it as a perfect opportunity to get back on the field.

Of course, he didn't want to use fouls to stop Iroh, because relying on fouls to complete the defense is only the next strategy, and Thuram, as one of the best central defenders in football today, naturally disdains to use such low-end means.

Before the game, Iroh also listened very carefully, so he knew the advantages of Thuram, who looked like he was not good-looking, but in fact, his defensive awareness was no less than that of Nesta, who was known as the world's No. 1 central defender, and at the same time, his body was two grades better than Nesta, although he was thirty-three years old this year, his body was still strong, and more importantly, he was very experienced.

This is the reason why the so-called family has an old man and a treasure.

Therefore, Ailu did not underestimate Thuram, but began to lower his center of gravity when facing him, and then pedaled on the same place, but Thuram did not eat his feints.

Fortunately, Iroh also had the foresight and knew that it was impossible to fool Thuram by simply pedaling a bicycle, but when he was close to Thuram, he suddenly used the instep of his right foot to dunk the ball to the baseline, and then quickly wiped his body to the baseline.

Thuram's defense subconsciously moved very quickly, almost moving the center of gravity of his body at the same time as Iroh used the instep of his right foot to dunk the ball to the baseline, and took a big step with his left foot in the direction of Iro's breakthrough, using the awareness of defense to complete the defense.

Is that the level? As he finished the action, Thuram thought contemptuously.

However, when he completely sent his body to the route of Ello's breakthrough, he found that he did not have physical contact with Ello, according to his experience, at this time, he should have just stuck in Ello's breakthrough route, and then he would crash into himself because he couldn't stop the car.

But...... Well, there is only one possibility!!

The action of breaking through to the bottom line just now is a very realistic feint!!

This...... How can it be?

But the truth is often beyond his imagination.

*****

'What will Ai do against former Juventus centre-back Thuram, who has just joined Barcelona? Direct bottom line breach? No!! This is ......" Hyde saw that the center of gravity of Ello's body in the camera had completely shifted to the left, which was completely a forced use of the advantage of the starting speed to make a breakthrough, but the next scene made his voice an octave higher, "Oh my God, again- turned back again!" ”

Ailo took advantage of Thuram's defensive awareness, and when his body was completely biased to the left, he suddenly moved quickly with his right foot to the direction of the movement of the football, and at the same time used his strong explosive power to kick his left foot towards the turf and forcibly turn the center of gravity of his body back, and this action happened completely between the electric and flint, so Thuram who made defensive moves did not know.

So when Iroh made the breakthrough, Thuram was still stunned, he really didn't expect his defensive sense to be ineffective against this 20-year-old.

But his second reaction was fast, and when it was difficult for his body center of gravity to switch back at the first time, he quickly extended his left leg behind him, and in order to extend his leg to the longest, his right foot jumped backwards.

But Iro's reaction was just as fast, and after landing with his supported left foot, he clicked on the ground and jumped up at the first time, while the outside of his right foot also crossed the ball sideways away from Thuram's defensive range.

The next thing is very simple, lie the ball in the box.

Puyol, who was tasked with David Villa, had to play to Ello's path to make up for Thuram's loss, while Van Bronckhorst had to pull into the middle of the box to make up for Puyol's position.

And Edmilson also had to pick up the pace and rush into the box to increase the number of defenders in the box.

Between the flashes of light, there was a fatal hole in Barcelona's backline.

As Iroh stepped forward with Puyol, he flicked the outside of his right foot.

Everyone's attention began to move with the football.

That is until a Valencia player appears in the footage.

An exclamation rang out over the Camp Nou.

"Ai pass!! That's -- Michael," Hyde's voice was still loud and passionate, "-- Barack!! ”

With Hyde's excited commentary, Ballack met the ball thirteen yards from goal!

The ball went straight to Valdés' goal.

Interestingly, Valdés didn't react to a burst shot so close, not even the most basic thing a goalkeeper could do.

No one expected Valencia to lead Barcelona by two goals away from home in less than 20 minutes.

After the goal, Ballack was very excited, pushed Edmilson who was blocking in front of him, and then pointed his finger at Iroh with a smile, and when he approached, he jumped directly on Iro, and shouted at the Barcelona fans behind the Barcelona goal.

As with Iroh's previous treatment, first the voice disappeared for a short time, and then a tsunami-like boo poured into his ears, which made Barak very happy.

It was only now that he understood what Iroh had said before the game.

It is precisely because they are afraid that they will boo desperately.

It was Ballack's first goal since his free transfer to Valencia and the one that extended the lead for the team, so it was so important that there was a hint of cheering from the far end in addition to the deafening boos from the stands at Camp Nou.

*****

At this time, the local Catalan commentator began to make excuses for Barcelona, "The players in Barcelona's starting lineup basically participated in the World Cup in Germany this summer, and most of them are the main players of the team, and the impact of the FIFA virus is very obvious......

The commentator also nodded, and replied with a red face, "Although the opponent Valencia also has many internationals, most of them are not the main players of the national team, and they gathered earlier before the season, and they have much more preparation time than Barcelona, so they are more ideal than the home team in terms of competitive condition......

In the following games, Thuram became more cautious when helping to defend Elo, and his caution also increased the team's defensive density.

In the days that followed, the Valencia players found that Barcelona's defence became more cautious and they were happy to slow down the tempo, and this is when Ballack once again showed his worth.

Not only did he have a good experience in the back, but he also controlled the rhythm of the pitch at a very good level, and he and Albert reached the core of Valencia's midfield, combing the midfield unhurriedly, and Barcelona could not find the game form in the rest of the game.

In the end, Valencia beat Barcelona 2-0 away.
