Chapter 658 World Realm Performance

As mentioned many times before. On the football field, in fact, it is not only goals that can boost the morale of the side, and many times, a brilliant defense will not be much weaker than the goal of the goal to pull the morale of the side.

This time, it was Barça.

Just now, let alone Li Yi, even the Barcelona players, after seeing Li Yi's header in that position and pushing out the theoretical dead corner, all affirm that Li Yi's goal was decided, clinker, and finally Valdés, who usually played well but often made low-level mistakes, actually turned the tide and turned Li Yi's inevitable goal away.

Coupled with Valdés getting up from the ground, like a gorilla, patting his chest there to celebrate, and soon other players on the Barcelona field were also infected by Valdés' arrogant performance.

Let's get down to business and turn our attention back to the game.

As the saying goes, you sing and I will appear, Barcelona first Messi did not score, and then Li Yi sent a header from the dead corner, but unfortunately it did not score, and then, it is time for the morale to rise and never accept the performance of the Barcelona players who will not accept the home loss.

Leaping high to collect Sneijder's corner, Valdés was ready to follow the script and launch another quick counter-attack as soon as he landed.

It's just that, how to say it, as the saying goes, it is good, but it can't be repeated. Just 2 minutes ago, Valdés had the same shot, and it ended up being a killer, with Messi getting a chance to score a solo or even an empty goal. Now, after only 2 minutes, no matter how forgetful the Crystal Palace is, it can't be forgotten so quickly, right? That's why Valdés wants to do it again now, and I have to say that he underestimated Crystal Palace too much.

In fact, he didn't want to think about it, if Crystal Palace was really so stupid, would they have the ability to get to where they are today?

Although Crystal Palace entered the top 4 and they were drawn one after another for a certain reason, strength must be another reason. Champions League top 4, how can there be a weakling? Even if they were weak before the game, they were already strong when they hit this point.

Therefore, what Valdés did was bound to bring failure.

In the first step, Valdés threw the ball accurately, and after flying more than 30 meters, the ball accurately went to Xiaobai's feet near the center circle.

However, next, Xiaobai wants to penetrate the prepared Crystal Palace defense, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Just got the ball, and before he could make a quick adjustment, there was a prompt sound of Xavi's "someone" behind Xiaobai. Usually during competition training, this kind of reminder is seen a lot, and Xiaobai knows very well what Harvey calls this voice represents.

At the moment, in order to avoid making a mistake in this position and being counterattacked by Crystal Palace, Xiaobai had to do his best to obey the fate of God, kick the ball towards the Crystal Palace half.

This move is the end, and secondly, there is no absolute in everything, who dares to guarantee that Xiaobai's kick is plugged straight through, and it can't happen to break through the Crystal Palace defense line and give Messi at the forefront another chance to make a single knife?

I have to say that Xiaobai's idea is absolutely correct, and several of his arguments, theoretically speaking, are also correct.

But that's just in theory!

He also doesn't want to think about it, Crystal Palace has long been waiting for Barcelona to launch a quick counterattack, there are only 2 people outside the Barcelona penalty area, Xiaobai and Messi, of which Messi is in the front, don't think about it for the time being, if Valdés wants to repeat the old tricks, it can be said that there is only one choice, that is, to throw the ball to Xiaobai, in this case, how can Crystal Palace's defense of Xiaobai be limited to Xiaobai's sneak attack?

Therefore, even if it is reasonable and unexpected, the ball that Xiaobai temporarily passed was impartial, and it happened to be rushed from directly in front of Lescott, waiting for it!

Lescott, you could say he was slow, you could say he was slower to turn, but when Kompany was around, Lescott had such obvious shortcomings, and he was able to sit in the starting line-up of Crystal Palace, which was not weak overall, most of the time, and he must have something special.

Frontal header defense is considered one, and more importantly, the ability to intercept head-on, Lescott is also not weak.

No, Xiaobai's temporary pass, although it was according to Lescott's defensive range from the beginning, but the ball speed is not slow, and the distance between the two is not too far, so it can be said that in fact, the reaction time left for Lescott is not as much as everyone thinks.

However, even so, after the worst Lescot still successfully completed the interception task, and even, while intercepting, Lescote also showed off a small skill that was completely incommensurate with his size.

Facing the ball, running out of 2 steps, when Xiaobai excitedly thought that Lescote was going to make a mistake, Lescote cleverly jumped up lightly on the spot, with his right heel so dexterously part, to avoid stopping the ball mistake, the first time to hand the ball to the feet of Modric not far away, not to mention, more importantly, with the help of the previous rush momentum, Lescott quickly inserted after landing, in the case of both midfielders are empty, Lescott's insertion, directly for the next Modric pass or their own breakthrough, All have one more choice pre-buried.

In this box, Lescott's accurate interception and running position have never been a lone product, and it is naturally impossible for Modric, who has a very wide field of vision, to turn a blind eye.

With a flick of the outside of his right foot, Modric did what Lescott wanted, and after the ball was lost, Xiaobai, who had been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, sent the ball to Lescott's feet again.

Modric's outside instep pass is not inaccurate or untimely, but when making the above choice, Modric ignored a very important, very important, almost fatal problem, just now, the person he sought to cooperate with - Lescott.

Is it Lescott and what's wrong? Is Lescott not a Crystal Palace team-mate?

What's wrong with it? What do you say, just now, I was able to come up with a way to use a rush with a pass, cut off the little white ball, and started running for the first time, it was already an offensive aspect, and Lescott played at a super level.

Now, with the ball handed to Lescot at a distance of about 35 metres from the Barcelona goal, and there are no receivers around, Modric's pass is beautiful, but what is his idea? Tell Lescote to organize Crystal Palace's counterattack? Is it okay for Lescott?

"Can I?" Just running, it was just instinct, in fact, Lescott never thought that Modric would pass the ball to him again. Raising his big head, he looked around and found that he couldn't seem to find any way to get the ball, and Lescott couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, "Can I do it?" ”

On the field, it is a race against time, especially when both sides want to counterattack, your Lescott's hesitation is your own business, Barcelona found out that Crystal Palace actually wanted to organize this announcement by the central defender, and no one needed to remind him, spontaneously, in a way of heaven and earth, towards Lescott's position, surrounded the past.

As a defender, what he is most afraid of is playing with fire in the backcourt, so whether it is the coach or himself, Lescott has always required himself to play the ball quickly, and he does not have to care about the accuracy, after all, as a defender, as long as he can clear the ball, even if it is useless, he is absolutely fine.

Yes, at this time, in the face of Barcelona's organized and premeditated multi-person siege, Lescott's first reaction was to deal with the ball out, in fact, he also did this, according to the middle and lower part of the ball, a pump, Lescott's plan is that even if he gives the opponent another goal kick, along with the loss of Crystal Palace's counterattack opportunity, it is better than him handling the ball indiscriminately, and it is much stronger to be counterattacked by the opponent, isn't it?

In the face of Barcelona's sudden pressing, Lescott can still come up with a response in a hurry, and it seems that his way to deal with it is the most suitable choice for him at present, I have to say that Lescott's performance in these 30 seconds is definitely world-class. Even if Thiago Silva, known as the first central defender, arrives, there is only so much he can do.
