Chapter 322: How to Break the Balance
******
After Iello made a Cruyff turn past Puyol, the Valencia fans in the far north stand chanted wildly, as if the next thing was to be greeted by a goal.
But Iroh's next move didn't disappoint them, he lay the ball into the box and Max hurriedly set up.
For such a hasty defense, Iroh easily picked up his right foot and flicked it to the right, shaking off a larger angle.
Immediately picked up his right foot again on the left side of the penalty area, Valdés nervously watched Ielo's movements.
As he stared at the ball at Elo's feet, ready to judge whether the shot was in the near or far corner, the ball was flying at an incredible speed.
Valdés' heart subconsciously felt a wave of fear, and as his body fell back, his arms naturally rose upward, as if he was making a final struggle.
And these movements are all subconscious movements, so the speed of his arms is much slower than the speed of the movement of a football.
Football...... Without a doubt, it slammed into the goal from above Valdés's forehead and between his arms!
That's right!
It's just a goal!
Because this kick of Iroh just now used all his strength to hit an upper corner.
Such a powerful shot from close range will make goalkeeper Valdés subconsciously feel a little afraid, if the ball just hit him in the face, then ......
No one dared to imagine this outcome.
In fact, in the situation just now, there were at least three ways to easily break the door, but he used the most direct and violent method.
This can be traced back to the frustration of the team being behind for more than ten minutes, and the powerful volley just now was to completely vent this frustration!
After seeing the football enter the goal, Iello excitedly pushed Max in front of him, then turned a corner from behind the goal, ran to the corner kick area, and then jumped over the billboard and raised his arms to the home fans who raised their arms in celebration.
And the home team fans in these stands are also driven by Iro, the atmosphere is more enthusiastic, and the cheers are getting louder and louder!
******
"Puyol's defensive move is very reasonable, and he can keep an eye on the opposing players around him while holding off Ai, huh? Oh, my God...... Here it is, Cruyff turned around! He's in, he's in, he's in!! Max Rescue!! Idiot! Can't you see such an obvious feint? Valdez!! oh――**!! ”
"Okay, Iroh made an imaginative move past Oleg, and then faced Puyol who was recovering the defense, oh? This is Cruyff turned around!! Pretty!!! Again!! Hit the goal, the ball went in!! Entered, entered! ”
"Ai got into Puyol's defence after breaking through Oleg, and this time it was a little bit more difficult...... Oh? This is...... Cruyff turned around!! Max came up, over him over him!! It's so exciting, knock on the door! ohhhhh ”
At the same time, commentators from various countries are commenting on the game in their own way.
The only thing that is the same is the commentary that Iello used a Cruyff to turn past Puyol on the left side of the box.
This action is a harsh blow for Barcelona!
Everyone knows that Cruyff is the godfather of Barcelona, although he has now retired from the top of the team, but his words are still echoed, which shows his importance to Barcelona!
But the action named after this person is on Barcelona's body, and more importantly, this action is still applied to Barcelona's captain Puyol, which is a living slap in the face!
If successive hat-tricks at Camp Nou are humiliating, then that action is a direct humiliation!
Whether it's the Barcelona fans in the stands or the Barcelona players on the field, they all keep their heads down.
Puyol, in particular, had his head pressed to his chest.
He knows that the team's two goals conceded are directly related to him!
At this time, Puyol really wanted to say aggrievedly, isn't it just to talk to the team before the game, as for it?
******
The atmosphere in the stands was particularly enthusiastic, and the whole stadium was filled with shouts of "Prince".
The goal just now directly brought out the momentum of the team, and even the goalkeeper captain Canizares ran over from his own goal to celebrate together.
Iello's goal was worth three points.
You know, sometimes at the end of the season, a point counts, let alone three?
That's why this goal is so precious.
Messi listened to the sound coming from the whole stadium, clenched his fists very unwillingly, and couldn't imagine that he couldn't help the team lead the score with a single goal or an assist.
It's so damning!
Just then, a man's hand was placed on his shoulder.
Messi looked up and saw that it was Iniesta.
"Leao, the game hasn't stood a chance yet! We still have a chance!! ”
Messi looked at Iniesta, whose eyes were firm, and his eyes, which were still confused just now, instantly glowed.
Turning my head, I just saw Iroh trotting back after the celebration, and my fists clenched again, I won't give up!
******
After being equalised by Valencia in the 72nd minute, Rijkaard had to change his plans, a point was not what he wanted, he was aiming for three!
The score was levelised, and Barcelona's players were much more serious, and for them, a draw didn't mean anything, they wanted to win!!
So it didn't take long for Rijkaard to replace Edmilson, who had received a yellow card for defending Iro, in the 75th minute, according to the situation on the field, and replaced Xavi, who had played more than half the game.
He firmly believes! Xavi's arrival will definitely lead Barcelona's overall attack!!
When the time comes, the five attacking groups of Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Messi, Iniesta and Xavi in the front field will definitely be able to tear apart Valencia's defensive system again.
But what he didn't expect was that Edmilson's downfield would directly lead to a decrease in the team's midfield hardness.
At the same time, the back and forth interceptions have also weakened a lot, and it is almost impossible to rely on one Van Bommel to cover the entire central midfield.
That said, if Valencia's players break through Van Bommel on the edge of the box, they will face two of Barcelona's centre-backs.
Exposing the two centre-backs directly to the opposing strikers is an extremely dangerous sign.
It laid the groundwork for the next process.
Of course, these prerequisites are based on the fact that Valencia has the ball at their feet.
And Xavi's play means that Barcelona's passing and cutting cooperation is more vigorous, because his play directly makes Barcelona's possession rate go up again.
Although it was a challenge for the players on both sides of the game to reach the end of the game, Barcelona were able to keep the football at their feet and consume significantly less energy than the home team.
Because they only need to run back and forth to receive passes, they don't need to run in a wide range like Valencia's defenders defend.
That's why Barcelona will occupy a big place in the future of football.
And Rijkaard's Barcelona team has begun to take shape.
So after Barcelona replaced Xavi, Flores replaced Vicente and Aimar, and replaced Viana and Aurelio to strengthen the defense.
Gave the task of counterattacking directly to Iello and David Villa.
These two substitutions also temporarily eased the pressure on Valencia's defence.
Because they are all freshly replaced, they don't have any problems with their fitness and can cover a large area.
But this is also flawed, as Viana and Aurelio will need to adapt to the rhythm of the game.
******
Iello didn't feel good watching his teammates run as they were driven by Barcelona's crosses, so he turned his head to look at Van Bommel who had been staring at him since Edmilson came off the pitch.
Most of the counter-attacking opportunities are against the attack, which means that you have to turn around when you have the ball.
It was not difficult for him to get rid of Van Bommel, but not far from Van Bommel there was another Puyol, whom he had humiliated twice, staring at him, and not giving him the slightest space.
This is one of the reasons why Xavi has been able to maintain the attacking pressure on Valencia after Xavi came on.
While taking advantage of this time to recover his physical strength, he kept thinking: how can I get rid of Van Bommel in the first time from defense to attack?
Barcelona's attack has been going on for almost a minute, and they have played patiently, not rushing inside, but mobilizing Valencia's defenders back and forth, draining their physical strength and their fighting spirit.
Therefore, the home fans in the stands were very unhappy with Barcelona's style of play, and the boos spread from all sides of the Mestalla Stadium towards the stadium.
At the same time, in the process of switching from defense to attack, because Aimar has already left the field, the responsibility of organizing the attack is handed over to Albelda.
As a result, Barcelona has become simpler in the process of switching from attack to defense, as long as the attack is eliminated in the cradle.
Although the score is now 2:2, it should be a good result for Valencia, but for Elo, it is far from enough! What he needs is victory!!
He knows that the squad doesn't have a lot of depth on the bench and it will be a bit difficult to face the league, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League in the second half of the season.
If you want to win the league at the end of the season, you have to score enough points before the Copa del Rey and Champions League!
Especially against an opponent like Barcelona, who is in direct competition, winning the game becomes even more urgent.
Barcelona's defenders are very important to him, and if you want to change the outcome of the game, you have to start with the situation on the pitch, and to change the situation on the pitch, you have to change the situation that you are encountering.
That is, to break the balance on the field.
But how can it be broken? Iroh sighed.
According to the usual method, it definitely won't work!
Because Barcelona had already figured it out, they had to find another way.
So, he turned his head to look at David Villa, who was also swimming about forty meters.
Maybe...... Breaking the balance depends on the tacit understanding that he and David Villa have cultivated over the past half season.
ps: Thanks to the ghost brother for the two monthly passes!!
