Chapter 640: Petrified Friedman

What happens when a goalscorer, with the same attacking heart, "disguises" himself as an opposing player and participates in the attack?

This question, if someone asked it before Li Yi's whim, maybe he would never know the answer for the rest of his life. However, fortunately, now, they only need to look at Li Yi's performance on the court to clearly know the answers to the questions they asked.

Moreover, they didn't even have to wait long to see the answer to this question, and when Li Yi participated in their first defense, Li Yi had already perfectly helped them perfect the answer to this question.

It is said that it was originally Messi who took the ball on the right side of the stadium at that time.

Speaking of which, due to the fact that he was fouled by Yaya Toure several times before, Messi has roughly figured out the black big man produced by Barcelona and the kicking strategy to deal with him today.

Around 30 meters, as soon as I get the ball, you will foul you, right?

For such an unreasonable player who only has fouls in his head, Messi's response is - I won't give you a chance to foul at all.

Using his excellent running position, he shook off Yaya Toure, took the first step to control Xavi's small oblique pass at his feet, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Yaya Toure had rushed towards his position at full speed, without much analysis, just looking at Yaya Toure's appraisal eyes, he knew that the other party was Messi who came up to foul, and his left ankle shook slightly, obviously there was a chance, neither broke through, nor crossed, a return pass, Messi was actually a little brainless, and knocked the ball back to Xavi, who was not too far away from the 2 people.

Well, although I still have the advice that Li Yi gave him in my head, that is, within the 30-meter area, never leave an inch, and stick to the opponent.

However, how to say it, human will is one thing, but, most of the time, human will is no match for the subconscious.

Let's take this time as an example, there is almost no need to analyze it, even if he sees the opponent pass the ball out of advance and puts down the idea of fouling, from Yaya Toure's own consciousness, he still wants to keep up with Messi.

However, as mentioned above, it is Yaya Toure's subjective consciousness to continue to cling to Messi.

Normally, subjective consciousness is useful, but in some cases, the competent consciousness does not necessarily achieve the desired effect of Yaya Toure.

Seeing the other party say that the ball passed past his feet, as a defender, Yaya Toure's subconscious did not "ask" his consent at all, instinctively, Yaya Toure's right foot was facing the trajectory of Messi's pass, and there was an extra kick.

Then, it was precisely because of Yaya Touredo's kick that Yaya Toure had to change from a running state to a stationary state. As for what? Don't really ask what is going on, or you should first find someone who can stretch his feet on his side during the run, and it will not affect the running.

Then, before Yaya Toure had time to restart urgently, Xavi, who was behind him, was a thief again, and passed the ball to Messi's feet for the second time within 5 seconds.

And this time after Xavi passed, unlike before, the previous time, Messi needed to face a full-speed run, not slow, no matter whether he cut inside or crossed directly, it is very likely to destroy his own control of Yaya Toure halfway. This time, Messi only needs to face a Yaya Toure who is stopped at a distance of about 3 meters from him and is unlikely to make any effective interference with his next move in a short period of time.

Needless to say, the difference is no longer too much.

Just when everyone was looking forward to Messi, who had calmed down for about 10 minutes, broke out again, sacrificed a single ride to break through, bigger than N people, and then broke the goal, Messi, who slyly used human instinct to react and throw off Yaya Toure, did not cut inside with the ball as they wanted, but made a small diagonal pass on the spot and swept the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Such a great opportunity, Messi did not choose to cut inside, but chose to cross directly, thinking that any fan who is not stupid can guess in advance that Messi is forcing his teammates to be in a better and more advantageous position.

Sure enough, when they followed Messi's passing route and moved their eyes to the Crystal Palace penalty area, the blind Barcelona fans were pleasantly surprised to find that Henry, the king of guns, no longer knew when he threw off his defender and appeared on the way of Messi's passing.

Seeing that the home team will complete the equalizer in less than 5 minutes after the away team scores, the Barcelona fans who arrived today couldn't help but stand up from their seats, and prepare their lung capacity in advance.

However, the cheers from the Camp Nou fans did not ring until more than 10 seconds after Messi completed his pass.

When Messi passed the ball, he was near the penalty line on the right side of the Crystal Palace penalty area, and the force of his pass was not small, usually speaking, it only takes 2-3 seconds for the ball to fly to Henry's position.

Now, after 10 seconds, it means that the ball has already flown in, so, the fans cheered but did not sound, could it be said that Henry, who ran away from the arsenal, is really old, and without the interference of the defenders, he can't even grasp the opportunity to be so close?

If anyone really thinks so, they are undoubtedly underestimating Henry's ability.

It is said that some players, the older they get, the more demonic they become, it is obvious that Henry is such an existence, no joke, just such an opportunity, Henry can guarantee that even in the most competitive competition, he will also have one in one and will never fail.

In that case, why didn't the fans cheer for Thierry Henry's goal?

Hurray? The ball didn't score, how can you cheer?

Before that, Henry dared to say that there was one such opportunity, and he would enter one?

In fact, these two seemingly conflicting issues are not really in conflict.

It is true that Henry can grasp this close-range opportunity to score, and it is true that the ball did not go in, and the reason why there will be a situation where both propositions are true, there can only be one explanation - the ball did not go to Henry's feet as accurately as fans expected.

Since there is no ball, how does Henry go about scoring the goal?

Let's rewind the time to the moment when Messi completed the pass, and watch the whole process in its entirety.

Messi's pass that he is willing to give up the opportunity to cut inside is impossible to miss, and even if the pass is crooked, Henry is also a big living person, can't he automatically adjust his position?

Therefore, when the ball "departs" from Messi's feet, the position that is expected to be reached is the prime position that Henry runs.

As for why the ball didn't go to Henry's feet in the end, in fact, the answer is really not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than someone broke it halfway.

However, it is not difficult to guess that Messi's pass was destroyed halfway, but the person who destroyed Messi's kick can be called a must-kill assist, but it really made the Barcelona players on the field, the Crystal Palace players, and the fans of both sides who were present today eat more than a pound.

Because, at the most critical moment of the team, the person who appeared in the position where the team needed him the most was actually Li Yi, who even the players of Crystal Palace had never thought of.

And if you have to find the most amazing thing among these people who didn't expect Li Yi to complete the above work, there is no doubt that this honor fell to Friedman's head very honorably.

Of course, if England national team coach McClaren had been there to watch the game, or watch it live in front of the TV, he could be regarded as a person who was just as surprised as Friedman.

After all, there was no one in the whole world who knew Li Yi's defensive ability better than the two of them.

As mentioned earlier, compared with Li Yi's own unparalleled offense, Li Yi's defense is even more invincible.

Even, there may be some controversy in the former, after all, there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, but the latter is real and there is no controversy

But this is such a person, who was determined by them, who is destined to be unsuitable for defensive work in this life, what did he just do? Just now, when he was actually defending, he appeared in the position where the team needed him the most, and even a beautiful sliding tackle swept Messi's cross directly out of the bottom line.

I have to say that Li Yi's surprise was so great for them that for a while, Friedman's careful liver couldn't fully digest it at all.

Maintaining his previous antics of calling for Li Yibei to participate in the defense, Friedman petrified on the edge of the court like the legendary Wangfu Stone.
