Chapter 684: Fight Barcelona again
Chapter 684 Fight Barcelona again
Today, Tuesday local time in London, is a very special day for Crystal Palace fans.
Because, just today, Crystal Palace, who have never entered the Champions League before, are about to launch an attack on the final.
Well, however, earlier in the day, these lovely fans learned a laughable news from the official website of Crystal Palace.
It is said that it is only said that Li Yi called on all fans who can enter the stadium today to wear his jersey when he was interviewed by Crystal Palace internal reporters before the game.
With today's status in the Crystal Palace, it is nothing more than to say that he is the savior, even if there was a bombardment incident between Li Yi and his teammates in the Crystal Palace some time ago, but so what? Not to mention these incidents, they don't have much to do with the fans, but what if they do?
Is Li Yi's accusation wrong?
Getting back to the point, after getting Li Yi's new instructions, will they listen to Li Yi?
Obviously, judging from the news transferred back from the major Crystal Palace jersey stores in London today, Li Yi's small requirements, not to mention all the fulfillment, at least, the effect will not be too bad.
What's the news? There are a total of 13 Crystal Palace jersey stores in London, and in one morning, Li Yi's inventory of more than 30,000 jerseys was all sold out, and that's it-
"Toot, toot, toot!" With the whistle of the referee on duty, the Dutch whistle Kupels, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which has attracted much attention from the world, officially kicked off.
After the start of the game, soon, there was no need to explain JACK's introduction, and the fans who were present today easily found that it seemed that Barcelona, which was known as invincible by the outside world, was a little out of shape today.
How is the absence method?
For example, in the first minute of the game, when Messi received the ball in the midfield, he made a low-level mistake that he had not made since he was 12 years old, and after lifting his left foot high, he magically leaked the ball from under his feet.
And Messi's opening mistake seems to be contagious, after Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets, who appeared in Barcelona's starting line today and had to make way for Yaya Toure when he sold Yaya Toure, have made similar low-level mistakes.
Is this still the Barcelona we are familiar with? Is this still the Barcelona that is known as the king's teacher?
AFTER SEEING BARCELONA'S INFERIOR PERFORMANCE ON THE PITCH IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES, JACK INVOLUNTARILY ASKED RHETORICALLY IN THE STUDIO.
The Barcelona players collectively mismatched, on the other hand, on the side of Crystal Palace, the performance was won by the first leg of the two sides, and under the elimination of each other, Crystal Palace, which was fighting at home, soon occupied the absolute initiative on the field.
After 10 minutes, Crystal Palace, which was in urgent need of scoring due to the score behind, even pressed Barcelona for a time, even past half time, which was a luxury.
Then, I didn't pay attention and accidentally saw the possession rate of both sides, and I was almost surprised to eat the microphone in my hand.
67% vs. 33%.
At a glance, such a possession rate is no longer normal for Barcelona, which is the main promoter TIKITAKA and invincible in possession.
But what if this 67% is not Barcelona, but Crystal Palace?
It's a pity, although this is a bit appalling to say, but today's fully passive and out of form Barcelona really only has half of the possession of Crystal Palace.
And then, in fact, there is nothing good to follow.
In previous matches, regardless of the final win or loss, since Pep Guardiola took charge, Barcelona has never lost the opponent's possession in an official match.
Now, even this thing they are most proud of can't compare to the Crystal Palace, not to mention the scene-
Turn your eyes back to the game.
After bombing Barcelona again, but still regrettably missing the goal, as the offensive metronome of Crystal Palace's game, Yaya Toure, who got the ball, was not in a hurry to move forward, but made a two-handed downward action.
Well, in the past 10 minutes, although the more than 40,000 Crystal Palace fans who watched the stadium were enthusiastic, the Crystal Palace players were also very excited. However, as a metronome that needs to be awake at all times, Yaya Toure knows that the current state of Crystal Palace is not suitable for long-lasting.
Continue, if you are lucky and can break through the door of Barcelona, then needless to say, Crystal Palace is very likely to rely on the opening style to defeat Barcelona in one fell swoop.
But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if you don't score? How long can Crystal Palace's tactics of pressing high and starting from the Barcelona goal line last?
10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes? No matter how many minutes it takes, even if Palace are iron-clad, this tactic will not last a whole game.
When the time comes, when you are tired of Crystal Palace, Barcelona still doesn't want to kick what to do?
Besides, fans may be amazed that Barcelona is so out of shape today, as if they can't play, and they are confused, but Yaya Toure, one of the insiders, will not think so.
What Barcelona players are in poor shape today, the reason for this, Yaya Tourena is very clear!
One word - not adapting.
What don't you fit into? Naturally, after Li Yi made suggestions, he could simply pit the lawn of the dead!
As a non-artificial turf, you may usually watch the game, and only think that this kind of lawn is very suitable for the game, and you will not know some of the content behind the road.
Let's put it this way, under the guidance of Li Yi, Crystal Palace is now a lawn for the two sides to play, that is, they did not apply, otherwise, they will definitely be able to be elected as the longest lawn on the football field, without any doubt.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO PLAY ON A LAWN THAT IS OVER 10CM AND NO ONE IS TIDYING UP? If you don't know the way, you can try to kick the ball in the grass, although there are some exaggerations in this metaphor, but this exaggeration is really not big!
As Barcelona, who are accustomed to cooperating with their feet, no matter what the final result of the game is, today's lawn is definitely their nightmare.
To get back to the point, in the face of such a lawn, Barcelona is not comfortable for a while, that's for sure. However, as smart as Yaya Toure does not think that Barcelona's top professional players will remain in the same sleepwalking state as before throughout the game.
Moreover, it is not too difficult to avoid the restrictions of the lawn, and Crystal Palace is now like this, focusing on long passes, isn't it okay?
Therefore, after 10 minutes of the game, Yaya Toure stepped up, and he had to stand up, so that his teammates could slow down the rhythm a little.
However, I don't know if the heavens are destined to joke with the two sides of the game on the field today, when Yaya Toure has made up his mind to pay attention to stabilizing the rhythm, on the field, it is very coincidental, there is a goal.
At that time, after Yaya Toure won the ball in the midfield, he did not directly raise his big foot and make a long pass as before, but slowly pushed forward with the ball.
I don't know if Lu Dao was completely defeated by the turf of the Crystal Palace, and waited until Yaya Toure entered the 30-meter area of his side, and on the Barcelona side, he belatedly pulled out 2 defenders and slowly surrounded Yaya Toure with the ball.
Be careful, it's slow!
That's right, even in the face of the girl who has entered the range, they have to send players to mark the defense, and the Barcelona players are very slow when they defend this time, dealing with Yaya Toure.
Barcelona is so slack, and it is a kind of humiliation for Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure, who was holding back his breath of anger when he was fighting the old master, couldn't take care of the steady instructions he had made before, bent his bow and arrows, swinged his legs and volleyed in one go, Yaya Toure took his anger at being abandoned by Barcelona, and his right foot was heavy, towards the middle and lower part of the ball, and he pumped over!
