Chapter 392: Breaking the Ball, Breaking the Goal with Lightning (Three Watches)
*****
Messi stepped on the football, and it was the team's goalscorer Eto'o who stood on the halfway line to kick off, and it was Iroh who stood slightly to the right of the arc circle in the other half, and Messi's eyes were a little misty, obviously still reminiscing about the expression of Iroh before.
Thinking of this, he almost burst his lungs.
In the challenge of the handshake between the two sides just now, I found my friend Iniesta to practice many times before the game, and I almost had the illusion that I could enter Hollywood during the practice, but what I didn't expect was that Iroh ignored him at all, but smiled weirdly.
What does that mean?
He could think of it with his toes, it was disdain!
And it's deep disdain!!
Beep――
At this moment, the referee's whistle pulled him back from his thoughts, pulled the football under his feet horizontally, and then ran quickly to the front of the court.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of kick-off at home, Barcelona consciously moved the formation closer, so just after kick-off, there was a scene that surprised many fans.
It felt like watching an amateur game, and a crowd rushed towards the football.
Rijkaard stood on the sidelines, his trademark hands on his chest as he watched the players on the pitch with the ball on his shoulder, not feeling the slightest bit out of place, but rather expecting it, because it was his pre-match arrangement.
When Samuel Eto'o got his hands on the football, he first dipped it forward, then a ball protector kept David Villa out of the game, and then passed it back to Xavi, the heart of the team.
David Villa kicked his right foot on the soft turf, turned in one direction, and pressed Xavi with Ballack to get the ball, so Xavi didn't dare to be careless, first pulled the ball horizontally, and then passed the ball directly to Max, the only midfielder on his side, with the outside of his right foot.
David Villa didn't give up, pushing Xavi, a national team teammate who was standing in the way, and chased after Max, who was about to get the ball.
But at this moment, Max, who was facing the football, directly picked up his right foot, seemingly preparing to drive the ball forward with a big foot, David Villa didn't dare to be careless, and subconsciously jumped up, wanting to block the big foot with his body.
What he didn't expect was that Max's move was not to prepare for a big kick-off, but to ...... Feints!
The right foot that was picked up quickly retracted, the outside instep of the right foot waved the ball to the right side of the body, and then looked at Messi who was running forward in the front court, and the corners of his mouth curved an obvious arc.
However, half a second later, this expression froze on his face, replaced by a look of horror.
*****
After kick-off, Iroh did not follow his teammates to grab lightly, because he knew that Barcelona's players were the best in the world in terms of passing and control ability, and blindly rushing up would only waste their body and energy.
But his teammates David Villa and Ballack didn't know if it was because they were too excited or what was going on, and after kick-off, they subconsciously chased after the Barcelona players who got the ball.
So Iroh shook his head and moved towards Max, the lone midfielder who was moving closer to Xavi, because he knew that if he relied on David Villa and Ballack alone, he would definitely not gain anything, even if he delayed the opponent's fighter.
One more person, one more hope.
With this thought, he slowly ran towards Max.
It was then that Xavi pulled the ball and passed it to Max before Ballack could get on it.
Facing the menacing David Villa, Max faced the football and picked up his right foot!
Suddenly, an idea popped into Iroh's mind: impossible!
This is not Barcelona's style, and then another thought pops into his mind, it must be a feint of kicking off the ball.
Thinking of this, Iroh suddenly became excited, if this is really the case, it will be a big surprise!
After the end of last season, the team's Van Bommel moved to Bayern, and Edmilson was injured again, so this game Max was a lone midfielder, if the ball was cut off in this position......
As a result, you can imagine it with your toes, and it's a great opportunity!
Resisting the ecstasy in his heart, he quickened the pace of his feet and rushed towards Max with a sharp acceleration.
At the same time, Max's right outside instep flicked the ball horizontally, shook David Villa, looked at Messi who was cutting forward, and directly picked up his right foot, ready to make a long pass!
"Raphael !!"
Puyol, who was directly behind Max, suddenly roared, which made him a little overwhelmed, and the frequency under his feet slowed down by half a minute, and between the lightning and flint, he felt a gust of wind passing by him, and where was the football under his feet?
*****
Rijkaard looked at Messi who was inserting at high speed, and his psychology was more looking forward to the tactics of grabbing the beginning.
Whoop -
An exclamation from the stands brought him back to his senses, what was going on?
Whoop -
The exclamations that followed were louder than the last exclamation, and the sense of horror that was reflected was even stronger!!
An ominous feeling suddenly came out of his heart!
Cold sweat was crawling on my back in an instant.
When he returned his attention to Max, his whole being froze there.
……
……
Iroh gently punched the ball on his toes, then the whole person froze, ran in the other direction, and started to accelerate forward!
His stab was skillful, not numbly destroying the ball at Max's feet, but consciously heading in front of David Villa, who was jumping up and falling.
David Villa knew that although he was a little skilled in passing, he was still a little behind the orthodox playmakers Ballack and Albelda, so he did not hesitate to pass the ball to Ballack, who reached for the ball.
After stabbing the ball, Ielo did not run forward in a haphazard manner, but consciously ran towards the rib gap between Zambrotta and Puyol.
His explosiveness and acceleration are known throughout Europe, so Zambrotta and Puyol are close to each other, and they tacitly move closer to each other - close the door to defend!
However, the speed at which they approached was still a little slow, and when Ailo was still one meter away from them, there was still nearly a meter between the two of them, and if they got closer at this speed, they would definitely be rushed by Ailuo.
If Ballack, who has the ball in the next moment, suddenly passes a ball over the top, it will definitely be an opportunity to threaten Valdés in the goal!
Although Zambrotta and Puyol have not had many opportunities to play together at the back this season, both are seasoned veterans who can guess each other's intentions with even a single look at the other.
If you want to successfully make this defense, then you can only use Iro's speed to create an offside position!
In the midst of the lightning, the two stopped moving closer to each other, but took a step forward at the same time.
The two were the defenders at the back, so there was no need to worry about failing to create an offside position.
Originally, Iroh was about to suffer a blow, but I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to get out of the way, as if you were ready to take the head of the army among thousands of horses, and when you rolled up your sleeves and did a big fight, you found that the other party was suddenly defenseless.
So his subconscious speed stagnated, but fortunately, his reaction was very fast, and at the same time as the sudden stagnation, he used the powerful explosive force to start in place again.
Zambrotta and Puyol were stunned.
They originally wanted to use Iro's speed to create an offside position, but Iro's sudden delay just now disrupted their wishful thinking.
Ballack, meanwhile, met David Villa's pass and played a long pass without stopping, which landed on the no-man's land behind Zambrotta and Puyol.
And he also has requirements for the landing point of the ball that is passed, because this landing point is that goalkeeper Valdés does not dare to attack and take the ball, and if he is a little careless, he will get the ball to Iro, who is very likely to be inserted forward.
Iroh's speed is now known all over Europe, and no goalkeeper would dare to strike when he might have a ball in his possession!
*****
Ayroh's sudden stagnation made Ballack's pass a little late into a well-timed pass.
So the step forward of Puyol and Zambrotta, who were dragged behind, became an ornament.
The two of them watched in amazement as a white lightning bolt swept past them at high speed, and the red boots of the third generation of assassins burned like flames on the green turf.
The inconspicuous stands of the visiting fans at the very top of the Camp Nou slammed to their feet and let out a paltry cheer for the booing Camp Nou.
Iroh was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was scurrying between Zambrotta and Puyol.
At this time, he still had time to look back at the football in the air.
The ball speed and angle are very moderate!
Nice pass!!
That's how he defines Ballack's pass.
Zambrotta and Puyol, who were overtaken, reacted quickly and raised their right arms at the same time to signal for Elo to be offside, but the linesman with good positions and sharp eyes followed Elo's run quickly towards the baseline.
This is a signal that fans who know a little bit about the rules of football know - no offside!
In order to stop the ball, when Iroh stepped on the line of the big penalty area, his speed was slightly reduced, and his body was facing the direction of the linesman, and his chest was naturally relaxed, expanding the area of his chest to stop the ball.
Valdés stood at the penalty spot and saw Ielo stop the ball with his chest, and chose to abandon the goal without hesitation, in order to give himself courage, he yelled at the same time as he attacked.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Iroh didn't want to stop the ball before hitting the goal, but parked the ball straight forward with his chest, and then took a step forward with his left foot, and directly picked up the right foot that was dragging behind.
It's-
Straight to the door?
The thought popped into Valdés' mind.
That's right!
Iroh's next move confirmed his suspicions.
The right foot that is picked up is kicked directly into the lower middle part of the falling soccer ball without hesitation!
The soccer ball was like a cannonball out of the chamber, shooting in the direction of Valdés' face.
Valdés subconsciously wanted to make a save, but what he didn't expect was that the football was directly facing the goal, if it continued like this, the football would most likely hit his face, out of the body's sense of self-protection, his forward body suddenly leaned back.
In the midst of the lightning, the ball grazed his bare forehead and flew towards the goal, sending a wave of netting.
The Camp Nou stadium, which was full of boos, suddenly seemed to have lost its life, and there was no sound.
PS: Thank you for the reward from Angel-Muser, and I wish you to be admitted to Fudan University!!
