Chapter 394: Chief Substitute
Zhang Tiehan caught up with the extreme speed when it was almost impossible to catch the ball, and stretched out his long foot to poke the ball forward, his legs were stretched out very long, very long, at that moment this action was so beautiful in the eyes of the fans, handsome, handsome When Zhang Tiehan completed this action, watching the ball roll under Valdés, Anfield Stadium immediately erupted in tsunami cheers.
Almost everyone, including the Spanish commentator, shouted excitedly, "Goooooooal!" ”
The sound filled all the TVs, all the screens, all the sounds, and everyone who was closer to the live broadcast, fans and non-fans alike could hear the roar.
They turned to look at the TV, and a Chinese kneeling on the grass, his hands clenched into fists, his face flushed with excitement, his expression was excited, he looked very vicious, but soon he was crushed under him by his enthusiastic teammates.
"The ball is in!!"
The England commentator continued to shout after yelling, "Well done! Zhang was so fast that he rushed straight to the Barcelona goal in an almost impossible situation and finished the shot before Valdés arrived! He scored the ball and it was the second goal! ”
"Liverpool! 2-0 lead! ”
"Beautiful goal, we can see that when Zhang started, Puyol started almost at the same time as him, but when he arrived in front of goal, Puyol could only watch from behind, he didn't have anything to do with Zhang!"
"Max? He had already been thrown off by Zhang! ”
"It's all about explosiveness, it's about speed. To be honest, when Alonso passed the ball, I even thought he made a mistake, it was like trying to clear the ball, but Zhang got the goal done! ”
"As you can imagine, Alonso must know Zhang very well, he knows that other people can't chase the ball, but Zhang can, so he passed the ball and Zhang started it at the first time. The two have completed a wonderful tacit cooperation! ”
"Chen Yingying's posture is not formal. It's even a little awkward, he leans his body to top the ball, and he comes out with a rebound ball, which just avoids Valdés, which is really wonderful! ”
Compared to the constant praise of the English commentators. The Spanish commentator commented on the goal. "Barcelona is still too careless. Didn't they all pay attention to Zhang's speed? Before the game, many people mentioned Liverpool's number 13 as a more efficient striker than Thierry Henry. Libyan Real striker Forlan is the most efficient scorer in Spain this season, and he even scored two goals for Barcelona, when Ronaldinho said that Forlan is one of the best goalscorers in the world, and now he has met Zhang, is Zhang not as good as Fran? ”
"He was last season's European Golden Boot!"
"Zhang has been recuperating from an injury for three months this season, but that doesn't affect his goals in the Champions League, and he still scored ten goals in one less game with Benfica, which is enough for him to be the top scorer in the Champions League, Barcelona is obviously too careless, maybe they feel that England's strikers are as big as Chelsea (Drogba) and are not a threat to Barcelona, but Zhang is much more flexible and faster than that guy"
The TV commentators were frantically reporting the goals, and the Liverpool fans were cheering at Anfield, they didn't expect the team to lead by two goals in the first half, especially when the scene was so passive, Liverpool was almost pressed by Barcelona, but their No. 13 Zhang Tiehan was still able to contribute two goals to the team.
It's amazing!
At this moment in their hearts, Zhang Tiehan is the best, surpassing Gerrard and those historical football celebrities who occupy a position in their hearts.
The Liverpool players on the pitch were also cheering.
Two goals in the first half and no goal for the opponent, such a wonderful start, in this world, who can dare to say that they can score two goals against Barcelona and play like this with Barcelona at halftime?
Chelsea didn't do it, but they did!
"Well done, Zhang!"
"Zhang! Seeing your goal just now, I really want to marry you! You're amazing! ”
"You're so ugly! I should love Zhang! ”
"No, it's me!"
"Hahaha, I think Lola will hate you! But Zhang, that's amazing! ”
"Let the Catalans know we're good!"
"Oh yes! Before the game, they all said that Barcelona would eliminate us, it depends on how they eliminate us! Zhang Kezhen breathed a sigh of relief for us! Cool! I really want to see the faces of the Spanish media now! ”
In the excited praise of his teammates, Zhang Tiehan stood up from the grass, he patted his chest hard, making a muffled sound of 'bumping', the action was quite weird, he felt like a super large gorilla, very fierce, very terrifying, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly, "I said it a long time ago, the goal will be handed over to me!" I do what I say! ”
This picture is really arrogant!
While Liverpool celebrated their goal, the Barcelona players also took the time to discuss the goal just now, or the two goals conceded in the first half, many players felt very depressed, they have had a smooth journey this season, and it is really rare to concede two goals directly.
Puyol felt depressed.
He is the captain of Barcelona, but in the game, the defensive side, it seems that he did not do enough at all, he failed to complete the task assigned by the head coach Rijkaard, and failed to really limit the opponent's number 13, but he felt that he really did not make any mistakes.
"I wanted to hold him, but as soon as I raised my hand, he was already over." Puyol was describing the feeling of defending to the opposition, "He ran so fast, we shouldn't have given him time to start. ”
Max also said, "He just deliberately retreated!" His purpose is to get rid of me, and he must not be fooled again next time. He was also involved in the defense just now, but he was confused by Zhang Tiehan's retreat, so he was thrown away directly, and he was a little angry.
'We shouldn't give him space, I'm talking about the space for the feet, the space for passing, we are too far forward. It's too dangerous. ”
"Yes, especially when they're on the offensive."
"We have to remember that the opponent is the defending champion, not that kind of small team, they are very dangerous in attack, next time we have to pay attention to the formation a little further back, so that the guy can't use the drop and the explosion to get rid of the defense, and the rest of the opponent can't pass the ball in front of goal." Ronaldinho concluded.
Although he did not participate in the defense just now, but in front he saw more clearly, in general, Liverpool can pass the ball, and the opponent's No. 13 can start to break out, all because the team's formation is too scattered, they have become accustomed to playing the whole court, even if the opponent attacks, the formation is still relatively scattered, so that the opponent can calmly pass the ball, and the explosive speed can find a good position.
Anyway, they were careless.
After talking about the goal, they talked about Alonso who passed the ball just now, Puyol and Alonso are teammates in the national team, when Alonso played for Real Sociedad in the past, the two also met often in La Liga, "Also be careful of Alonso, he is in good form today, the opponent's number 13 relies on Alonso's pass, and Garcia, they rely on these two points to find opportunities." ”
The others nodded their heads.
After more than 40 minutes of play, others also saw that Liverpool's attack was actually quite single, and there were not many players who kept up with it when advancing, and most of the counterattacks relied on the opponent's No. 13 alone, and the passes were generally Alonso, Garcia, and Gerrard's three points, and the right side of Riser was really not threatening, and Gerrard was the captain of Liverpool, and he was very strict in attacking, and he mostly paid more attention to defense.
Puyol points this out, and they probably know what to do next.
After saying the defense, Puyol spoke again, "Alright! Don't care! It's just two goals, there's nothing to worry about, we're Barcelona, let's show them how good we are! ”
"We're going to score!" Van Bommel Dow.
"Equalize!"
"Overtake!"
The Barcelona players were united and ready to restart the game, when there were only three minutes left in the first half, plus only five minutes of stoppage time, but as Liverpool celebrated the goal, Rijkaard made a substitution, and the number 15 Edmilson was substituted for one of Barcelona's brightest frontcourt talents in recent years, the 22-year-old Iniesta.
Andres Iniesta started his career in the Barcelona B team and settled into a single position in midfield, but since joining the Barcelona first team, he has gradually started to play more attacking midfield positions.
Louis van Gaal used him to play as a striker, while Rijkaard used him as a right winger.
Last season, with the additions of Anderson Deco and Rudovic Gyuli, Barça's style of play was locked in a technical style dominated by short passes.
Andres Iniesta became the first substitute in midfield.
When Xavi or Deco were absent, Iniesta was in the middle, both defensively and playmaking at a very high level.
This season, Andres Iniesta has made even greater strides in the team, and he has made up for Xavi. The void created by Hernandez Creus, and now that the brilliant young talent Messi is injured, Iniesta has shouldered the responsibility of the whole team's attack, and now he comes off the bench to play the heart of the attack.
Perhaps Rijkaard was hoping that Iniesta would use the remaining five minutes to adapt to the game so that he could get into the groove faster in the second half and help the team, but what he didn't expect was that Iniesta was much better than he thought. (To be continued......)
