Chapter 696 Boiled Frog in Warm Water

Barcelona's tactics, theoretically speaking, are the same as boiling frogs in warm water.

You just throw a frog into boiling water, and he can jump out, but if you put cold water on him first, and boil it slowly until he dies, the frog doesn't understand what's going on.

And now the Crystal Palace players on the pitch are very honored to play the role of this frog.

Barcelona did not rush to score after Crystal Palace took the initiative to recover, but kept falling on the foot, although there is no accurate statistics, but conservative estimates, the new wave of Barcelona to the foot, at least more than 100 feet.

One attack, 100 passes, the ball is still near midfield, what is the concept?

All in all, Crystal Palace didn't give the game a crash, it's already a reflection of their combat effectiveness, and you can't ask for more.

However, although deep down, every Crystal Palace player on the field will inevitably constantly remind themselves to cheer up and be ready to meet Barcelona's fatal blow at any time, they who subconsciously can't keep up with the rhythm, or at the moment when Barcelona really launched a general attack, there was a little collective distraction.

It's not much, it's just less than a second, to tell the truth, Barcelona has tried their best to get only such a little time, and Crystal Palace is not a loss.

After all, just passing, Barcelona had wasted almost a full 5 minutes of game time before, and in terms of the remaining time of the game, how many 5 minutes were there?

As for Barcelona's results? Have it? Do you want the Crystal Palace to lose a trace of time? Did it work? 1 second is not enough for Messi to run 2 steps with the ball, not to mention that although the Crystal Palace players are collectively distracted, they are firmly occupied in their defensive positions before they are distracted.

The Crystal Palace players are holding their positions, although they are a little distracted, but theoretically, Barcelona will not have too good opportunities. After all, their time was still too short, and Crystal Palace's grassy pitch meant that they were not able to play what they wanted in the first half of the game.

But what if Barcelona doesn't use the usual way, for example, a long pass that has only been done once before? And it was to accurately seize the moment when the crystal palace was distracted, and send a long pass over the top, so what?

It is very coincidental that Barcelona on the field seems to have really tasted the pleasure of the previous long pass, and this time it was difficult to use the frog tactics to make a gap, Xavi once again did not hesitate to send a long pass over the top.

As the champion of the Premier League, a team like Barcelona, whose average height is more than a step shorter than himself, used a long pass to hit the team, which was already a tactical failure for Crystal Palace.

However, regardless of whether he was angry or not, Xavi's long pass was sudden enough to be true, and when Lescott reacted and planned to go below the ball landing point, Lescott easily saw the Henry who was rushing towards him with an indomitable momentum.

As the former king of guns, although Henry is old at this time, the momentum accumulated over the years is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, no, even Lescott, after seeing Henry's hideous face, he involuntarily took a small step back.

This half-step, although it seems like nothing, but Lescott knows that no matter which of the two can grab the ball in the air in the end, he will be in the confrontation with Henry, and he will lose half a goal. It is also good that Xavi is a long pass in the backfield, and it is better that the long pass must have his specific attributes, and he flies slowly. This attribute gives Lescott enough time to react, otherwise, how it will end is a matter of sincerity.

"Hey!" Talking to himself, he shouted to himself, collected his mood, and waited until Henry grabbed the ball landing point he had calculated before, and Lescott did not choose to give up, but from behind the former, he pushed up fiercely.

At the same time that Lescott was pushing the former from behind Henry, the ball that was kicked by Xavi from the back was just too late.

"Hah!" Feeling the constant coming from Henry's back, but for himself, he could simply ignore the confrontation power, and then thinking that he was actually frightened by such an outdated star momentum before, Lescott was dissatisfied with his previous performance, and his hand movements were not idle at all.

Now, from Henry's confrontation strength, it is clear that Henry has long since lost the brave Lescott of the past, and he is ready to give this veteran a little hardship.

The right hand unconsciously groped near Henry's right waist, but it was not like usual against rookies, but twisted the other party, after all, Henry is old, and it is precisely because of his old age that Lescott knows that the other party is the most experienced, and he can ignore this kind of pinching trick a long time ago, so he naturally will not do useless work.

Since it's not a pinch, what is Lescott's idea of hitting Henry's waist?

It's simple, pull the jersey!

In fact, when the two sides are competing for the top, pressing people with their shoulders, causing the players in front of them to be completely unable to jump, this is the best choice, and under normal circumstances, the referee will not blow this action between normal and abnormal actions.

But that's just average, for a player like Henry, Lescott knows that if he dares to press the opponent's shoulder, the opponent will definitely not hesitate, as if he was hit by a train, and rush forward.

When the time comes, the yellow mud will fall into the crotch of the pants, and it will be not but! The referee will decide that he hit Henry in the back and call him for a foul.

Therefore, the idea of pressing people was denied by Lescott just after he was born, and then he chose a weaker pull jersey.

However, although the effect is weak, pulling the jersey also has an incomparable advantage of pressing the shoulders, for example, Lescott's current small move, that is, no matter how experienced Henry is, he can dive, and he can't jump out of any way.

You say that Lescott is pulling his jersey, and he is using the referee's blind corner to pull where he can't see, what can Henry do?

Homeopathic falls?

Kidding aside, Lescott doesn't have to do much by then, and it's more than enough to raise her hands and deal with the referee.

However, if you think that the action of pulling the jersey is small and the effect is almost non-existent, then you are very wrong.

Lescote can responsibly tell you that although the action of pulling the jersey is small, the effect is not small at all.

The small mentioned before is only compared to the strong shoulder.

Imagine what it would be like to jump when someone suddenly grabbed your clothes.

Not to mention that you can't jump at all, at least, the bouncing force is half canceled by the other party, which is inevitable.

In fact, it is also developing in the direction of Lescott, after being pulled by Lescott's shirt, Henry really didn't be able to jump.

However, just as Lescott was about to jump up and clear the ball that flew over the two, a feeling of unease passed from Lescott's feet.

It was at this time that Lescott finally discovered a problem that he hadn't noticed before.

In other words, as a veteran, no matter how old he is, he will not give the ball such a far gap in the judgment of time when the landing point is accurate, right?

Just now, Lescott also saw Henry jumping, and instinctively went to pull the opponent's jersey, wanting to destroy the former's top fight.

But now that Lescott thinks about it, it is obvious that the ball has not yet come, and Lescott firmly believes that even if he doesn't pull the former, Henry's ability to stay in the air will not allow him to stop in the sky for more than 2 seconds like a flying man, in this case, why would Henry jump so much earlier?

And all of this, with a small action after Henry landed, Lescote finally understood what the other party's previous series of actions were.

So, what did Henry do when he landed?
