Chapter 91

In this Deportivo team, Mauro Silva is more of a defensive midfielder, partnering Dodonato in the midfield, and is rarely directly involved in the attack. He's more of a transition role, and as for the specific organization of the attack, that's the task of Forlan and Manharin in the frontcourt. This is also the reason why Lao Lei's forward insertion and the coordination of his teammates this time have problems, and everyone did not expect Lao Lei to attack forward.

This dilemma was something that Lao Lei had not expected before. However, there was no time for Lao Lei to calm down and think carefully, he had to immediately return to the defense to stop Barcelona's attack. Barcelona showed their housekeeping skills, one kick at a time, and never stopped passing. The tacit understanding between the Barcelona players and the skillful passing coordination put Deportivo under tremendous pressure on Deportivo Deportivo's defence. The most difficult part of defending Barcelona's attack is the fluid, continuous positional transition between their players, which is like flowing water, very flexible.

Fortunately, Lao Lei and his partner Donato are both backs with excellent running ability when defending. The two men formed a huge barrier in midfield, blocking Barcelona's flowing ground advance. However, due to the strategy of Deportivo La Coruna against Barcelona, the formation was relatively loose and did not adopt a dense defense, which gave Barcelona enough space to attack. Seeing that the short pass penetrated and was difficult to pass through the midfield barrier formed by Guò Lao Lei and Donato, Guardiola decisively chose a long pass and found Haji in the front. Suddenly, Barcelona's attacking triangle in the front court began to work.

Facing the back line led by Djukic, Haji, Stoichkov and Romario played a series of kicks. Stoichkov, who was at the edge of the penalty area, got the ball knocked back by Romario's heel. A passage has already appeared ahead that leads directly into the exclusion zone. Just as he was about to rush forward with the ball, Lao Lei returned to the defense and was directly behind him. A ramming, opt for a tactical foul. Brought him down to the edge of the box and didn't give him a chance to dribble forward.

The referee's whistle sounded as Stoichkov fell to the ground. Although there are a lot of good free-kick players in the Barcelona team at this time, it is very dangerous to give them free-kicks in this place. However, compared to letting the Bulgarian, known as the "golden left foot", enter the penalty area and face Songouo directly, Lao Lei is still more inclined to give Barcelona a free kick to be safe and safe. Lao Lei's action was very well controlled, and he glanced at the referee who didn't walk in front of him, and knew that he wouldn't get a yellow card for this foul.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a force came from behind him, and he came to a stumbling back. He turned his head and saw Stoichkov, already red-faced, standing behind him, with an angry look in his eyes. He immediately made the atmosphere on the field tense, and the players on both sides immediately came up and pulled the two apart. When the Barcelona players pulled Stoichkov away, he was still spewing trash talk into his mouth at Lao Lei.

He made Lao Lei sound a little bit of information about him given by the system. In addition to Stoichkov's superb ball skills. He was also notoriously bad-tempered. In European football, he has the nickname "Thunderbolt", which refers to his temper burning on the field.

However, he has a bad temper, and Lao Lei is not a good-tempered person. For the person in front of him, who is counted as his predecessor. Lao Lei didn't have any respect for the old at all. Facing the unrelenting Stoichkov, Lao Lei stretched out his right hand to him under the pull of his teammates. With your palms facing up, your fingers bend back and forth upwards. A typical provocative gesture. At the same time, Lao Lei put on an unruly demeanor on his face, signaling that you have the ability to come up. This made Stoichkov, who was already in a bad temper. It's even more angry. The Barcelona players hurriedly pulled him in and prevented him from rushing up to find Lao Lei to make trouble.

At the same time, more than 100,000 Barcelona fans at Camp Nou undoubtedly sided with Stoichkov and let out a shrill boo at the defiant old Ray. Not to mention hearing the boos of more than 100,000 people at the same time, it was really the first time for Lao Lei, and his heart said that it was really louder than before. Lao Lei is a guy who eats soft rather than hard, and the corners of his mouth showed his trademark evil smile at the red and blue stands on all sides.

It was not easy for the situation to calm down, but Lao Lei looked at the resentful look in Stoichkov's eyes and knew that this matter was not over. The game started with Barcelona's free-kick at the edge of the box, and fellow left-footed grandmasters Haji and Stoichkov stood in front of the ball, ready to deal with it. Old Ray became a wall for Deportivo La Coruna, standing in the penalty area to block the view of the two. The high-altitude ball is an eternal weakness for Barcelona, and for them, who are good at ground coordination and ball control, the high-altitude attack of the header is their natural flaw.

So for the defense of this free kick, Deportivo La Coruna has a few more people in the wall than usual. In addition, not all defenders were in the box, and the defensive area was extended to the outside of the box to prevent Barcelona from playing any free-kick tactics.

And the final penalty taker for this free kick was, as expected by Lao Lei, Stoichkov. Songo's free throw was also guessed, and he didn't move while Haji was covering. It wasn't until Stoichkov started up, when he shot the football, that he moved. I don't know if it's because of what happened just now, Stoichkov's feelings are still very excited, and he wants to score this goal too much to vent. This time his left foot was clearly out of order, the ball went high over the crossbar and did not pose an immediate threat to Songo.

Resentful, he grabbed his hair in annoyance and sighed in his head. However, when he lowered his head, he saw a scene in front of him that made him jump violently. Lao Lei was in front of him, with an innocent smile, and stretched out a thumbs up to his eyes, signaling that he was well done. Although Stoichkov did not make a statement, but turned his head and walked back. But seeing his hand trembling slightly because it was too tight, the corners of Lao Lei's mouth showed a sinister and smug smile. For every player who can fight with him, Lao Lei is very "cherished". Until they are finished, they will continue to fight with them.

After the restart. Lao Lei can't think of a good way to solve the problems he encounters in the offense. I could only obediently hand over the football to Deportivo LaCoruna's attacking midfielder, and then increase the range of attack myself. I don't take the lead, but I always pay attention to it. This is the best way that Lao Lei can come up with at the moment.

And this time, without Lao Lei's "abnormal" move, Deportivo Alia's attack returned to its previous level. Deportivo La Coruna skillfully reversed the ball in midfield, and looked confident in Barcelona's siege, and did not take a big kick, but defused it with a short pass. When Barcelona saw that their pressing was not working, they immediately retreated and defended. And Deportivo also took advantage of the situation and pushed forward with the ball to the front. An offensive was organized.

As the heart of Deportivo La Coruna's attack, Fran, who is the leader of Deportivo La Coruna along with Mauro Silva, his attacking talent is unquestionable. Although it was not the top, it was also considered first-class in European football at the time. Corresponding to Barcelona's triangle, Forlan, Bebeto, Manharin and Radchenko are Deportivo Deportivo Frontcourt Attacking Quartet. Although compared to the Barcelona offensive triangle, these four are slightly weaker than each other in terms of fame and strength, but as a powerful star, the offensive combination of the four is enough to bring a huge threat to Barcelona's defense.

After a period of inverted kicks on the edge of Barcelona's defensive area, Forlan suddenly made a precise through-ball. Passed the ball to the feet of Bebeto, who pulled out of the box. As a striker, Bebeto's biggest characteristic is not his attack, but his ability to cooperate. It's the same this time, after pulling out of the box. In the face of Flender's pass, he quickly knocked his heel and gave it to Manharin behind him. Immediately after that, Manharin also did not stop the ball. With a kick, the ball was stuffed straight into the Barcelona penalty area. It was given to the route of Radchenko, who was inserted in front.

But this pass, before it was given to Radchenko. It was blocked by Barcelona's No. 4 Pep Guardio stretching his foot. As a technical midfielder like Redondo, Guardiola also has a good ability to anticipate when defending. This is also the reason why although his confrontation ability is poor, his defense is not weak.

As Cruyff's first No.4 player, Guardiola stands out not for his skills but for his footballing acumen. The No. 4 player in Cruyff's tactical philosophy is a position that constantly needs to be considered, and it is necessary to think about the passing route at all times, and after receiving the ball, pass the football out in the shortest possible time to establish an attack, which can be said to be an extremely brain-testing position. Pep Guardiola is the finished product of Cruyff's proud No. 4 position, and was praised by Cruyff as "a chess master on a green football field." ”

And this time he once again showed such a trait. Almost as soon as the ball was broken, Guardiola made a big foot to the left side of the pitch, where there was already a gap due to Deportivo La Coruna's press, and Hadji was already there. Now it's Barcelona's turn for a quick counter-attack.

Pep Guardiola's long pass found Haji accurately. The Romanian midfield maestro known as the "midfield schemer" used his left foot to pick up Pep Guardiola's pass in the face of Donato's defence, and the ball flew over Donato's head. Then he quickly turned around Donato and lunged forward. Donato, who didn't react for a while, fell behind him and immediately accelerated to chase him.

The "conspirator" suddenly got up and passed the ball straight to Donato before he could catch up with him. The ball was tucked into the left side of the penalty area, where there was no Barcelona player. But the next moment, a red and blue figure appeared there, it was the number 10 of Barcelona, the lone wolf Romario.

At this time, Lao Lei was still staring at Stoichkov outside the penalty area.

Djukic appeared next to Romario.

Giving a lone wolf a football in the penalty area is a dangerous thing to do, and nine times out of ten you will concede a goal.

And this time is no exception. The lone wolf received a pass from Haji, suddenly slammed his left foot, buckled the ball to the right, and then made a sudden stop. Djukic, who came at an accelerated pace, was shaken so much that he lost his center of gravity and lost his defensive position. Immediately afterwards, Romario directly raised his right foot and suddenly fired a cold arrow to complete a push. These two moves of Romario are not very difficult, but few people can do them as quickly, quickly and stealthily as Romario.

The lone wolf's shot rolled into the Deportivo La Coruna goal, detonating cheers at the Camp Nou as loud as detonating an ammunition depot. (To be continued......)
