Chapter 684: Lessons to Geniuses (Medium)
When Chen Yu, Gerrard and Messi were fighting on the side, because Messi controlled the ball, Liverpool's players guarded against Barcelona's counterattack, and they all retreated outside the big penalty area.
Although Valdés is a bit of a butter hand, he is known for his bold attacks and good at saving one-on-one balls, although he is not absolutely sure of this ball, but Valdés's early outstretched fists and high raised knees have a deterrent effect on the players who grab the point, and in the blink of an eye, Valdés grabbed the ball out of the penalty area before the offensive and defensive players.
At the front of Barcelona's penalty area, Liverpool did not invest much, and Liverpool could pass the small defeat in this game, Barcelona's players were not fully prepared for Liverpool's determination to attack, and they were a little slower when competing for the second landing point, and the ball was snatched by Sissoko, who seemed to have infinite body lì and ran all over the field.
Sissoko's advantages and disadvantages are outstanding, can fight to grab, excellent defense, but the passing and ball control are very poor, Benitez told him before the game, to pass the ball out as much as possible, do not stick to the ball, Sissoko is a very tactical discipline player, after he grabbed the ball, the first time to hand over to Alonso in the middle, let Alonso to organize the attack.
The ball is much more reliable at Alonso's feet than at Sissoko's feet, before receiving the ball, Alonso's eyes have swept the whole field, and he knows how to deal with the ball, the ball arrives, Alonso stops the ball forward at a distance of about two meters from him, and then follows up and passes the ball to his right side to find Chen Yu.
After Chen Yu passed the ball himself, he retreated and prepared to return to defense. Seeing Sissoko steal the ball, he turned back again, looked sideways at Sissoko, observed how his teammates handled the ball, and then decided his own run, until the ball passed to Alonso's feet, Chen Yu no longer hesitated, and immediately slammed into Barcelona's side, he knew that as long as he ran in place, Alonso would definitely be able to pass the ball, and Sissoko's goods, even if he wanted to pass, he didn't know where it would go.
Messi has won the World Youth Championship in the last two years, the European Golden Boy Award, and has won the praise of countless football celebrities, just Chen Yu and Gerrard teamed up to steal one, how can he hold back this breath of arrogance and youth, he was ready to attack after Valdés cleared the siege, and when he saw the ball at the feet of Liverpool, he immediately came back to stare at Chen Yu. Chen Yu inserted to the side, and Messi was also chasing after him.
Messi's degree is very fast, and he has the posture of catching up with Chen Yu, but Chen Yu is not afraid at all, and even a little funny, Messi is good at attacking, defense can only be said to be amateur, and his height is only 1.69 meters, Chen Yu wants to see how he competes with himself for Alonso's long pass.
Messi's header kung fu is average, but his football talent is really amazing, and his judgment of the ball landing point is very accurate, and when he sees the ball falling, he sprints to prepare to grab the point, but how could Chen Yu let Messi, who is more than ten centimeters shorter than himself, grab the landing point first, he rushed up and grabbed the header before Messi.
Chen Yu did not push forward, nor did he stop the ball with his chest, but rubbed it back.
This is an unexpected handling of the ball, Messi was blocked by Chen Yu's body when he jumped, he didn't know how Chen Yu handled the ball, and naturally he didn't know where the ball fell, and when he landed, Chen Yu had already turned around to get the ball, and when Messi wanted to defend again, Chen Yu had already passed the ball.
Although Chen Yu's ball was not passed on the bottom line, the ball had a huge arc, and the bold Valdés did not dare to come out to take the ball, so he could only stand on the goal line and wait for the save.
Chen Yu's pass was relatively sudden, and the midfielders on both sides were not in place, only striker Kuyt and two defenders Puyol and Marcos were grabbing points.
Today, Benitez did not go to Crouch but to Kuyt, not that Kuyt has any advantage over Barcelona's defenders, mainly because Kuyt is a model worker, active in defense, and can defend from the opponent's penalty area to his own penalty area, in fact, Kuyt, who does not have any advantage in height, will not have the upper hand against Puyol, plus Max has no play, under the attack of Max and Puyol, Kuyt did not touch the ball, and the ball flew over the penalty area and out of the sideline.
This attack did not score much impact on Liverpool, all Liverpudlians understand that today their task is to defend, as long as the opponent does not score two goals, Liverpool will advance to the quarterfinals, in this case, if you still attack with the opponent, it is the brain, so the problem on the offensive end is not fatal, the fatal is the problem on the defensive end.
The ball returned to Barcelona's hands, Liverpool immediately returned to defense, everyone retreated to their own half, and everyone had defensive tasks today, even Chen Yu and Kuyt.
Dense defense, this is Barcelona's least favorite style of play, but since Mourinho's bus tactics defeated them, more and more teams have followed Chelsea's example to deal with Barcelona, but Barcelona's attacking power is outstanding, and the general team adopts Chelsea-like play can not have much effect, but if the giant team also uses such obscene tactics, Barcelona is dangerous, especially Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have proved this, and Liverpool is proving it.
In the first leg of the Camp Nou, although Liverpool won, Liverpool also really saw a completely different style of play from the English, and they also understood that the game with Barcelona must not give them space, if they are given space, any team has to kneel, so from the first minute of this game, Liverpool's players are desperately compressing the space for Barcelona people to pass and pass, forcing them to turn from the whole to the individual
Barcelona did not play a quick counterattack, and now Liverpool's players are all back to their own half of the defense, Barcelona has to pass the ball to their two wings Ronaldinho and Messi, so that they can break through from the two wings, whether they can break through Liverpool's defense or not, at least it will attract Liverpool's players to focus on the wing, so that Eto'o, Iniesta, Xavi in the middle have space to pass and shoot.
Messi and Ronaldinho are both players at the level of geniuses, one-on-one defense, neither of these two is afraid, and no one can defend them alone.
The ball was given to Ronaldinho first, in Barcelona's lineup, Ronaldinho is the first attacker to break the deadlock, Messi is only the second or third choice, only when Ronaldinho can't play at all, Barcelona will pass the ball to Messi and Eto'o.
Ronaldinho changed positions with Messi at the beginning today, he played on the left side that he was not familiar with, facing Liverpool's right-back Finnen, in the first round, Ronaldinho did not take advantage of Finnan, but Ronaldinho was also caught by Chen Yu who played right back at that time, and today, Chen Yu is already the two strikers in the middle, which will not affect Ronaldinho, and the assistant defense has become Gerrard in the middle, Gerrard is of course also very strong, but compared with Chen Yu, Gerrard was still a lot worse, at least not so fast, so Ronaldinho's confidence was high, and he took the ball and went straight to Finnan.
Although Finnan has to face Ronaldinho's attack today, he is not panicked, because his defensive task today is not heavy, Benitez said to him before the game, let the pass not burst, if you can't prevent it, let Ronaldinho cross it, no need to foul, but if Ronaldinho wants to break through into the penalty area, then he must be decisive to foul, never let Ronaldinho enter the penalty area, let players like Ronaldinho get the ball in the penalty area, Liverpool's penalty area must be chaotic.
Ronaldinho was humiliated by the English media and English fans before the game, and he also gave his full strength to attack today.
Ronaldinho was about to dribble the ball in front of Finnan, and suddenly made a push motion with his foot to the inside, and when the arch of his foot reached the limit, Ronaldinho suddenly pulled back and broke through Finnan from the outside.
"Oxtail"
"Sacred Cow Tail Swing"
There was an exclamation in the stands, these fans are still knowledgeable, and they are all familiar with Ronaldinho's famous skills.
Even the fans know, Finnan must know it, and more than the fans, but Ronaldinho is strong in his feints are very realistic, and if you are not fooled, his feints become real actions in seconds, which is the so-called fake when real is real.
So Finnan made a sideways move to prevent the inside cut, but Ronaldinho broke through from the outside.
Ronaldinho's low cross was met by Finnan who was a step late and the ball flew into the box.
In the penalty area, it was the African cheetah Eto'o, as well as the forward midfielder Deco, but at the moment Liverpool's back line remained intact, and the midfielders Sissoko and Alonso also followed, they were not afraid of Barcelona's bottom line crosses, and the four people stuck in position, even if Ronaldinho was really precise guidance, it was difficult to pass the ball to Eto'o's head.
Samuel Eto'o was explosive, but his header was mediocre and his ball was judged to be much worse than Chelsea's two centre-backs, and before he could get into place, the ball was headed out by Carragher.
Barcelona won a corner kick, Marquez and Puyol came to Liverpool's penalty area to compete, the two of them are Barcelona's best headers, but compared with Liverpool, both of them are inferior to Liverpool's two central defenders in terms of height and header skills, not to mention that Liverpool also has Sissoko, Kuyt, Chen Yu and other headers.
The ball was grabbed by Chen Yu, Chen Yu grabbed the ball easily, he even had the energy to observe the position of his teammates during the time of the top ball, and gave the ball to the unguarded Alonso.
Alonso's rhythm was very good, Chen Yu gave him the ball, he did not push forward quickly, but controlled the ball at his feet, ran to the place where no one was, and waited for his teammates to follow.
Chen Yu and Kuyt are forwards, even if they have defensive tasks on their backs, they are still forwards, and after helping the team defend the corner, Chen Yu and Kuyt immediately rushed out of the penalty area, ready to play Barcelona's counterattack.
It was a crucial moment for Liverpool to play a counter-attack, and Barcelona's backline would be in danger, with their centre-backs still in the Liverpool penalty area.
Xavi cleverly reached out and grabbed Chen Yu's jersey while Andres Iniesta and Deco went to trap Alonso, not giving him time and space to pass the ball.
Undoubtedly, Barcelona's defense is correct, Chen Yu's degree is the fastest, Alonso is the best pass, if you want to strangle Liverpool's counterattack, you must strangle these two points, even if it is worth paying the price of yellow cards, at this time, Barcelona can no longer concede the ball, don't look at the game has just begun, if they lose the ball again, they have no hope of getting it back.
Referee Merck's whistle sounded and blew Xavi for pulling Chen Yu for a foul, but the game had just begun, and the referee Merck showed mercy and did not give Xavi a yellow card, but only a free kick in the backfield.
Liverpool wanted to take a free kick quickly, but Barcelona was very experienced, and Deco stood in front of the ball and did not let Liverpool go fast.
After Barcelona returned to the defense, Deco got out of the way, and Liverpool passed the ball away in the backfield, passing quickly to the front, still maintaining this fast attacking rhythm, and did not intend to kill time at the back.
Rafael Benitez, who has coached Valencia, is all too familiar with Barcelona and predicted before the game that Barcelona would send the trident of Messi, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o. Rijcald, who had the heart to fight again, wanted to expel the trident as Benitez wished, but under Benitez's clever arrangement, Barcelona's trident fell into the encirclement of Liverpool. As in the round, the aggressive pressing of Liverpool's midfielders remains an insurmountable obstacle for Barça's attacking players.
Defensively limited Barcelona's three forwards, in attack, although Benitez does not have special requirements, but it is still based on fast counterattacks, as long as there is the ball in hand, they must play fast, Benitez is very clear, although Barcelona's defense is not very good, but if you play a positional battle, it is not so easy to break through Barcelona's goal, the best way to deal with Barcelona is a fast word.
This time, Abeloa cut high forward, taking advantage of Oleg's disadvantage, he and Kuyt made a cross-cutting combination, and easily crossed Oleg to complete a baseline cross.
This time, Abelloa passed the ball completely without disturbance, and the landing point of the ball was found very accurately, just watching Chen Yu's running point pass.
Originally, there were players who followed Chen Yu, but Chen Yu suddenly added when he entered the penalty area, and threw off Deco who was following him, after entering the penalty area, Chen Yu then ran in a reverse position, and once again shook Liverpool's central defender Max, Marquez was not ready to grab the point, but came to help defend the mark, but he lost the person, and it was too late to grab the point
Chen Yu jumped high and smashed a powerful header into the goal, Valdés flew up to save, but although his save was already extremely fast, it was still impossible to catch up with the ball, the ball flew through Valdés's fingertips, which made Valdés' heart cold, and he felt that the goal was finished, but when he landed, he did not hear the applause in the stands, but heard a lot of tenors who sighed, and then saw the ball hit the post and bounced back.
"Ahh
"It's a pity that the cup turned out to be a goalpost, Chen Yu really didn't have the luck to score today"
"What a pity for the goalpost"
However, in the midst of the pity, Barcelona had already grabbed the ball and fought back. This time it was Xavi who got the ball and the ball was passed to Iniesta.
Iniesta is also a genius known for his dribbling, he took the ball and pushed forward with a high dribble, hoping to attract defenders with his dribbling, and then pass the ball out, but he didn't expect that Liverpool's players were not volleying him in a high position, but quickly returning to defense, forcing Iniesta to have no choice but to continue to dribble forward, but his degree and Eto'o, Messi can't be compared, even Xiao Luo is faster than him, Iniesta didn't bring out more than ten meters, he was caught up by Kuyt, Iniesta shook Kuyt, Quickly pass the ball to Messi, but at this time, Chen Yu had already chased back after the header, and Messi had just got the ball, and was suddenly intercepted by Chen Yu.
Chen Yu showed Messi his good tactical sense at this time, he did not play individual dribbling, but passed the ball directly, his pass penetrated the Barcelona defense, Kuyt quickly inserted but the ball was still the first to be obtained by Valdés, who attacked.
However, Liverpool's attack did not end, Valdés threw the ball quickly, but the ball was passed less than three times, it was stealed by Liverpool, Finnan pressed on the right, facing Puyol's defense, Finnan, who assisted forward, suddenly passed the ball to the front point after an inward cut, Bellamy pressed Thuram to jump high, but the ball did not go to the goal.
In the eighth minute, Risser's powerful low shot from the edge of the box went wide a few yards out of the net, and it was the first threatening shot from both sides. Andres Iniesta went straight to Xavi for offside, and then in the 11th minute, Reese picked up the ball from yards out in the middle of the box, Thuram did not get up, Reese adjusted and hit the crossbar with a left-footed volley before Reese's third shot was blocked by a defender. In the 14th minute, Deco almost formed the team's first shot near the arc of the penalty area, and Carragher made a timely tackle to destroy it. In the 16th minute, Alberoa tackled Messi and was warned by German referee Van Der with a yellow card.
Liverpool were extremely quick to get the ball and Barcelona had yet to have a shot on goal.
