Chapter 685: Armageddon (3)

In the last few games, Barcelona has experienced almost the same situation, all of which are to concede the first goal in the game, which makes Qiao Wanxian a little depressed.

Now after seeing Liverpool take the lead, Benitez dared to bully people to press out and play, which made Qiao Wanxian's little temper a little unbearable.

Qiao Wanxian rarely shouted at his court on the sidelines: "Give me a little cheer up!" Kick like a gentleman, don't be afraid of them, attack me, me to death! ”

Seeing that the head coach was angry, the players on the field of Barcelona couldn't help but look at each other a few times and gritted their teeth.

Soon, the Barcelona midfielder broke the ball, and then Xavi split the left side, the left knife Cristiano Ronaldo rushed forward quickly, and Finnan and Carragher dominated the Liverpool defense and quickly retreated.

Ronaldo received the ball on the left side, faced Finnam, a skillful feint, made a gesture to go down, deceived Finnam to move, used his own flexibility, quickly changed the direction of the inward, blocked Finnan with his body, and rushed diagonally to the penalty area with the ball.

After Carragher saw Ronaldo break through his teammates, he rushed up to intercept Ronaldo as soon as possible, but after the Portuguese made a quick stop to smash the ball, he shook Carragher again, and in a continuous one-on-one battle on the side, he passed Liverpool's two defenders, and then rushed to the bottom line.

"Beautiful! Cristiano Ronaldo made consecutive passes, Barcelona was uncompromising after conceding the goal, Cristiana. Noronaldo's sword is unsheathed! Cruyff couldn't help but exclaim, and Wenger seemed slightly calm: "Let's take a look at the ...... of this attack"

Hyypia and Carragher also quickly returned to the penalty area, and they played well with Guò to block Cristiano Ronaldo's in-cut cut. Don't give the Portuguese winger a chance to face the goal directly.

Cristiano Ronaldo alone attracted three defenders, including Finnam, Carragher and Hyypia, so much so that Makelele had to rush back to defend the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw goalkeeper Reina also stand in a good position. He obviously didn't have a chance, so Yu Crisp stopped being brutal, and suddenly knocked back and passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area, and at this time, Pirlo followed up and picked up his right foot. It was a curling shot from outside the box!

The ball wasn't too fast, but the angle was too tricky, and it was taken in the upper right corner where Reina, who was already standing close to the left post, couldn't go to block it.

But it is precisely because of the pursuit of too much angle. So that this shot was slightly higher than the goal, grazing the post and out of the bottom line.

There was a clear sigh from the audience, but the Reds fans were rejoicing with a kind of aftermath of the catastrophe.

Less than a minute after conceding the goal, Barcelona quickly returned the favor with a fierce attack. Obviously. Although Liverpool are ahead in the scoreline, they still have a long way to go before they can really win their opponents! ”

"Cristiano. Ronaldo is in good form, and once he breaks out, Liverpool will be completely out of action. Now that the score is behind, the nervous Cruyff can't care about the fairness principle of the commentary, and begins to "big mouth" unbridledly.

The reason why Barcelona's front trident is terrifying is that the left and right wingers have very outstanding individual strength. Coupled with a very tactical Ibrahimovic, the tactical effect of Barcelona's trident is very obvious.

The 17th minute of the game. Barcelona were once again attacking on the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again ate Finnan one-on-one, but the cross was blocked by Carragher, Pirlo took a corner, Puyol pressed Carragher at the back post, but Reyna stretched out his leg to block the ball from the net when his center of gravity had shifted to the left.

Two consecutive waves of attacks have made Liverpool's goalmouth a lot of noise, and everyone has seen Barcelona's excellent game form and almost overwhelming strength advantage.

"Although Liverpool is ahead in the score, but from the perspective of the field, Barcelona does have the advantage of strength."

After two successive attempts to attack on the left, Barcelona switched direction this time - on the right.

Messi took the ball on the right flank, but Traore and Xavi returned to the defense. Alonso prevented him from doing whatever he wanted, so Messi passed back to Xavi and then ran down the middle himself, immediately drawing Traore towards the middle. But Lahm on the right rushed forward at high speed, and Xavi immediately took the ball and sent it to the front of Ram.

I saw Rahm rushing up quickly, chasing the ball, directly crossed the ball, and hoisted it to the middle of the big penalty area, Ibrahimovic blocked Hyypia with his body in the penalty area, and shook his head to push Ram's cross to the goal, but this time Reina judged Ibrahimovic's only angle early, and the ball went directly into his arms.

Eevee shook his head and gave Ram a thumbs up.

Although Barcelona did not score this time, the team's attack was very dangerous this time.

"Barcelona have already scored three times in a row against Liverpool in the space of five minutes after conceding the goal. Liverpool's defensive ...... Hey, it's really a bit like the emperor's new clothes, Chi Guoguo's standing in front of the cannon muzzle in Barcelona! ”

This time from Arsene Wenger's sigh.

At first, Arsene Wenger thought that the game would likely be a replica of the Champions League semi-final at the Emirates Stadium, with Liverpool biting Barcelona and taking advantage of the lead to dominate the game.

But now Wenger understands that Barcelona is really not the Arsenal under his command!

Liverpool's defense may be a steel defense against Arsenal, but in the face of Barcelona's repeated nuclear attacks, there is no resistance at all.

Originally, he thought that Qiao Wanxian had defeated Benitez tactically, but now it seems that the transcendent strength of the Barcelona team makes up for the disadvantage of Joe's cannon tactical arrangement.

The result of this game is really hard to say.

Although Arsenal were eliminated by Liverpool in the semi-finals, Wenger still has some sympathy for Liverpool, after all, everyone is a Premier League team.

Besides, it is indeed embarrassing for a team that eliminated Arsenal to be so unscrupulously pressed by their opponents in the Champions League final. Very wolf bèi.

"The most important thing for Liverpool now is to stabilize the situation first and keep their goal open. This gives an opportunity to create a counterattack. As long as there are opportunities to counter-attack, Barcelona's offensive will be weakened, and the defensive pressure will naturally be relaxed. ”

Arsene Wenger made a bitter move for Benitez, but less than a minute after saying this, Barcelona finally broke through the door of Liverpool.

Ballack and Andrea Pirlo caught the ball between Australian midfielder Colwill and Pirlo found Portuguese Cristiano with a diagonal cross. Ronaldo.

This time, Ronaldo did not carry the ball himself as usual, but observed the situation on the pitch. Sent a ground ball cross directly down the left flank!

There is too much cooperation between Ronaldo and Messi, but these two and Ibrahimovic are always not too cold. Now that the team is behind in the score, the boss is also furious. Ronaldo can't care about anything anymore, let's equalize the score first!

Because it was a quick attack launched by the midfielder, Ibrahimovic controlled his position and quickly stepped forward to avoid offside.

Cristiano Ronaldo's pass was very accurate. Crossed the Carragher in front. The outflanked Ibrahimovic fired a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the net directly from near the penalty spot.

"Boom!"

In the Olympic Stadium in Athens, a vibrating cheer erupted.

The cheers this time were obviously much warmer than after Torres scored the goal. Although the number of Liverpool fans in the stadium is equal to that of Barcelona, there is clearly more support for Barcelona among the large number of neutral fans.

"The ball is in, the ball is in! Cristiano. Ronaldo's clever pass and Ibrahimovic completed the goal in a simple and fluid combination. A little spark from the two superstars completed the goal! ”

"Who says Cristiano won't work with Ibrahimovic? This one ball is proof of that. The Portuguese winger passed the ball beautifully, and the Swedish center shot even more wonderfully! It's 1:1, the two sides are back on the same running line, and the game has become more beautiful. ”

Cruyff looked excited when he saw Barcelona score, and Arsene Wenger sighed softly when he saw Liverpool concede.

The huge gap in individual ability, this is the biggest difference between Arsenal and Barcelona!

In Arsene Wenger's view, there will always be a lot of holes in Qiao Wanxian's tactical design, but his players are too perverted to make up for any tactical mistakes. Even Arsene Wenger would have thought that if such a team were to be coached by him, he would be able to do even better than Joe's cannon!

But soon Wenger smiled self-deprecatingly, even if the other Joe cannon was tactically lacking, so what? The eyes of people who buy players are really out of reach.

Benitez sat in front of the dugout and looked calm, which, of course, could also be interpreted as a form of helplessness. What can he do in the face of super players like Ronaldo, Messi and Ibrahimovic?

"Let Kuyt be careful, don't move too much, and restrain his feelings, Herbert. Fandel won't be polite. Benitez conveyed his intentions to his assistant.

Kuyt was shown a yellow card by the referee for tripping Ballack after making too much of a drop back in the defence and Benitez will not allow further accidents with just 20 minutes played.

In fact, before the game, Benitez already knew that with the current Liverpool lineup, it would be very difficult to challenge Barcelona, who were in full swing. But he didn't expect Barcelona to be able to burst out with such amazing energy after conceding a goal.

"Tell everyone to retreat to the half-court and stabilize the situation first." Once again, Benitez made the adjustment.

Benitez's approach is understandable. Liverpool is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, coupled with the gap in player condition and morale, so he must ensure that the situation is stabilized, otherwise, if Barcelona plays a big score, then Liverpool will really be completely finished.

Benitez thinks this way because he understands and grasps the strength of the teams on both sides. Similarly, Qiao Wanxian is also very familiar with each other's situation, and it can even be said that in the Liverpool team, he only values two or three players, and the defensive big man Makelele is counted as one, but he alone can't stop Barcelona's thousands of troops.

Seeing that Liverpool's formation retracted, Qiao Wanxian certainly would not avoid it, and immediately signaled the team to press up and continue to strengthen the attack.

Liverpool, who played a tight defence, did not dare to shrink back too much, because Barcelona also had a strong ability to score from distance from the edge of the box.

In this case, the key defense should still be arranged in the 30-meter area. The defence should also be kept at the edge of the penalty area.

But in this way, Barcelona's individual ability has room and room to play.

When Barcelona launched an attack, Xavi rushed to the top of the arc of the penalty area. When he wanted to go to Ibrahimovic and Messi to cooperate, the ball was poked off by Makelele, and Villa was about to rush forward after taking the ball.

But when Villa just broke the ball and went forward, Pirlo, who had been guarding behind Xavi, stepped out and grabbed the ball, which is also to blame for Villa's meritorious work, this kick is a bit big.

After Andrea Pirlo breaks off the ball. Keeping Villa at his back, he dribbled diagonally to the right.

Makelele was the first to follow him at the top of the arc, and Carragher was a desperate block for Ibrahimovic. Hyypia was on the sidelines, while left-back Traore also kept Messi out of the way, blocking the gap between Messi and Pirlo.

But just when Liverpool's defenders felt that their team's defense had been arranged very tightly, Pirlo suddenly smashed the ball. Got a hint of space from the left side of Makelele. The left foot delivers a subtle and light pick-and-roll pass.

The height of the ball was not high, just at the height that it was difficult for Makelle and Hyypia to block with their feet, and it was also relatively fast, and the angle was very good, passing through the gap between the two players and Traore, directly penetrating the entire Liverpool defense and coming to the feet of Messi.

In such a dense and narrow area, such a ball is passed. It's very subtle indeed, but Liverpool's defence is also very tightly arranged, especially the distance between the back line and the goalkeeper is very good.

Goalkeeper Reyna saw Pirlo pick up the pass. He did not hesitate to attack at the first time, because the distance was not far, so he was sure enough to prevent Messi from shooting directly at the goal.

In fact, Messi really didn't have enough time to shoot, because Reina's timing was too good.

But Messi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, at the critical moment, he showed the strength and value of his world's top superstar, he chose to meet Pirlo's pick, gently picked up the ball with his left foot, picked the ball over the head of the attacking Reina, and then rushed past Reina's side, grabbed before the returning Carragher, and volleyed with his left foot!

With Messi's volley, the ball went into the net, and it was so close that Carragher couldn't stop it.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"The ball is in, the ball is in again!"

With the exclamation of the commentator, the Barcelona players quickly rushed out of the stadium, and after Messi rushed out of the bottom line, he turned around and turned to Pirlo who rushed over, with a tight hug, and a group of people stood on the sidelines and celebrated wildly.

From the start of the deficit to the subsequent equaliser, Barcelona had just another ten minutes!

In the space of ten minutes, Barcelona made killing chances again and again in front of the Liverpool goal, and after Ibrahimovic completed the equalizing goal, Messi stood out and scored a key goal to overtake the score!

In the stands, the red flames were extinguished in an instant, and what was replaced by the tsunami-like cheers of Barcelona fans.

In the 25th minute of the game, Barcelona took the lead in the Champions League final, and the score became 2:1!

"Very, very, very, very subtle attack!"

Cruyff looked very excited, "Pirlo's pass was beautiful, very beautiful, and at the same time, Messi's handling was just right! Picking past the goalkeeper and then volleying it into the back of the net shows Messi's reflexes to deal with sudden changes in a short period of time, as well as his delicate technique, which allows him to score in almost any way. ”

Perhaps because he felt that his previous sentence was not rigorous enough, Cruyff quickly added: "Of course, Messi's header is indeed a big weakness, but he can use his almost magical feet to bring everyone a feeling of fascination, and he has created surprises for us again and again." ”

In the Olympic Stadium, the live broadcast camera is also constantly replaying the whole process of Pirlo's pass and Messi's volley after passing the ball, and the whole process gives people a very relaxed feeling.

It's as if Liverpool aren't a final opponent at all, it's like a sparring partner in a training match. (To be continued......)
