Chapter 969: Final General Attack
"-Whoa!!"
The Valencia fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers as Iroh completed his jump undisturbed, believing in Iro's handling of the ball.
If nothing else, this attack will be extremely threatening!
“…… Ai high jumps! Header on goal! Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor frowned and shouted because he thought it was irrational for Iello to force a header with his back facing the goal.
However, as soon as his words fell, he saw that the ball was not directly aimed at the goal, but formed a small parabola to chase the back of the goal.
“Oh-My-God!!”
Judging from the camera, the heart of the local commentator in Barcelona immediately rose to his throat.
At the same time, the same can be said of the Barcelona fans in the stands, who visually saw that most of the defensive attention of all the Barcelona players on the pitch was drawn to Ailo who ran forward, while the rest of the defensive attention was also focused on Valencia players with strong point ability such as Benatia, Godin and Javi Martinez in the middle of the box.
As one of the top professional commentators on Sky TV, Martin Taylor has a very strong ability to change emotions, and his voice suddenly rises an octave as soon as he speaks: "...... No, it's a header back!! ”
As the football flew into the air, Valencia fans in the stands raised their arms as they saw James Rodriguez slipping to the back post unmarked.
And the Barcelona fans broke out in a loud exclamation while they were terrified......
Goalkeeper Valdés immediately moved from the middle to the back post, but he moved much slower than the speed of a football.
While watching the ball hit the ground while running, James Rodriguez is also adjusting his footwork to find the best point of power.
"- James Rodriguez!!"
Accompanied by a shout from the commentator of Colombian national television, James Rodriguez cleverly smashed his head on the top of the football and consciously hit the ball with a bullet.
Because in his peripheral vision, Valdés jumped straight to his side, his left arm extended, and wanted to save the ball.
If James Rodriguez had headed straight into the near corner, Valdés would have had a good chance of saving the ball and making a supernatural save.
However, James Rodriguez had a wide vision and was keenly aware that Valdés' feet had moved to top a bouncing ball, so the ball flew into the goal under Valdés' armpit.
4:3
Valencia put the score out of the scoring again!
The home fans in the stands were particularly excited, and the goal added to Valencia's title hopes.
James Rodriguez, who scored the goal, was thrilled and knew it was the right choice to stick with Valencia at the start of the season, and he has been so well received in every game he has played this season that he has even been voted online to replace the main striker Mata.
James Rodriguez was thrilled, but he didn't forget about Elo, who provided him with a precise assist, and the credit for his goal belonged entirely to Elo.
The referee at the time gave Alves a yellow card and explained to the protesting Barcelona players, and Iroh covered his mouth and told him to pay attention to the nimble run back post......
※※※
“…… Ninety percent of the credit for this goal goes to Aelo, whose running attracted three Barcelona high-pointers, and indirectly drove the entire penalty area to the unmarked youngster James Rodriguez. ”
He Wei commented on the goal during the slow-motion replay.
'Valencia re-overtook the lead at home and took the initiative of victory in their own hands again, and the Barcelona backline received too many yellow cards for defending Elo, so the hindrance for Valencia's attacking players will be minimized, I think...... It's time for Barcelona to make a change in defence. ”
At this time, Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova was pulling Puyol, who had returned from injury, to talk about some key points of the game.
In Pep Guardiola's view, the goal just now is related to the defender's scruples about the yellow card on his body.
Pique and Keita both have yellow cards, and their defensive movements have been consciously restrained, and the effect of interfering with Iroh has naturally dropped to a minimum, and there are previous goals conceded.
Now, the captain Puyol, who has returned from injury, will relieve the pressure at the back and adapt to the intense atmosphere of the game, so as to build confidence in the next two legs of the Champions League semi-finals.
And Mascherano is not stable in the position of central defender, and many times the defense subconsciously chooses to have deep traces of the back waist, and it is a reasonable adjustment to transfer him back to the back position with a clean net.
Before the game restarted, Barcelona made a second substitution on the pitch, replacing Keita, who had a yellow card, with centre-back Puyol.
This substitution has caused many people to think deeply.
Because Puyol's intention to replace Keita is very obvious, that is, to reduce the defensive pressure in midfield.
In this regard, many commentators applauded Guardiola's substitution adjustment.
But the substitution came to naught just three minutes later.
First, Aillo's forced acceleration in the middle led to a yellow card for Mascherano, and then he used his speed and speed to play Puyol, for which Maxwell, who was defending, paid a yellow card, thus temporarily alleviating the team's crisis.
Then Elo's direct free-kick almost broke the Barcelona fans in the stands, and the ball flew towards the first level of the stands by grazing the outer edge of the crossbar......
Although Aylo's direct free kick did not score, CCTV commentator He Wei said happily: "Barcelona's defensive test is coming, except for Puyol, who has just been replaced for a long time, there is no yellow card, Maxwell, Pique, Alves, Mascherano and Busquets have yellow cards, as long as fans who are familiar with Aillo's technical characteristics know, this is a great highlight, and Barcelona is behind the score, it is impossible for Guardiola to use the last substitution adjustment on defense......"
Pep Guardiola's delay in playing the last card left Barcelona fans in fear in the stands and in front of the TV.
In the 73rd minute, Carlo Ancelotti made another substitution, bringing on Edinson Cavani for David Villa, who was suffering from fitness problems.
Ancelotti, who shook hands with David Villa, sat back in the dugout and crossed his legs, looking at the pitch with a pair of wise eyes, and his substitution was not just a reinforcement signal, but a ...... Unleash the final assault!
The score of 4:3 is not solid, and it could be equalized at any time.
He was going to play back-to-back games against Real Madrid and he didn't want to drag the game to extra-time......
