Chapter 743: Champions League Might

(The two are in one, and yesterday's chapter is added)

Rijkaard was conservative in celebrating his goal, but he burst out of the dugout after Deco's goal, clenched his fists and roared twice.

Recently, Rijkaard's pressure has been a bit high, the team has internal and external troubles, contradictions, just lost to Valencia in the league, and the Champions League has ushered in such a hard bone as Liverpool, if this game cannot be won at home, for Barcelona, the Champions League road has come to an end.

Deco's goal at this time is too critical for Barcelona, Barcelona has been attacking fiercely in the past 20 minutes, pressing very hard at the back, if you can't score for a long time, and Liverpool counterattacked, the next game will be even more difficult to play, and now, Barcelona can finally shrink the formation and calmly wait for the opportunity.

Laburta, who was sitting in the VIP box, couldn't help but stand up, but even when he applauded, he still maintained a gentle smile, and in front of these Yankees, Laburta thought that he had to maintain such a condescending demeanor, so that these Yankees, who didn't understand football, could not see that he was actually too excited to be himself.

However, Gillette didn't pay attention to what kind of expression Laburta was, he got up nervously and ran to the window before Deco scored, and at this time he pointed at Reese and yelled: "Why is it so slow?!" I can't see anyone behind me! ”

Gillette sitting in the box was in a hurry, Benitez who was standing on the sidelines was even more anxious, except for the Barcelonians, no one knew Barcelona better than him, in a sense, he knew Barcelona better than the Barcelonians.

Before Deco scored, in fact, Barcelona's shape was already very dangerous, they were attacking more and more fiercely, and the formation was getting more and more pressed, but Liverpool's defense was not flawed at all, and if this situation continued for a few minutes, Liverpool might get a chance below, but now after Deco scored, Barcelona will definitely not press so closely, and Liverpool will only be more difficult to score below, as time goes by, if Liverpool wants to score away goals, it must be attacked, At that time, the initiative was completely in the hands of Barcelona.

"Hold your breath! I must be calm! ”

Benitez kept saying to himself in his heart that at this time, Benitez thinks that what he and the team need most is calm, not in a hurry to equalize, 0:1 is not unacceptable to Barcelona, in Barcelona's home stadium, only lost by one goal, this is by no means a shameful thing, back to Anfield, Liverpool is definitely hopeful to get back, and if Liverpool can stay calm, they may still get a chance later, with Benitez's understanding of Barcelona, the arrogant Barcelona people may not be satisfied, As long as they can hold on until the second half, Barcelona will probably attack again.

However, Benitez knows that it is not easy to hold on to the second half, Barcelona's characteristic is that he is good at playing downwind, not good at playing against the wind, and now Deco is scoring and the score is leading, Barcelona is probably playing more fluent and more beautiful, and it is difficult for Liverpool to prevent this group of small but extremely flexible football elves without 12 points of energy.

After a frantic celebration, the game resumed, and Barcelona's formation really retreated by almost ten meters, no longer attacking as fiercely as in the previous 20 minutes.

As a veteran giant, Barcelona is by no means a reckless man who does not understand the rhythm of control, on the contrary, Barcelona is an extremely smart team, they deeply understand the truth that the fist can be withdrawn to be able to play more powerful, the reason why they want to press out in front of them, there is no way, at the Camp Nou, there is no team willing to press out and fight against them, even if it is their century-old rival Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, they can only play defensive counterattacks, in this case, Barcelona has to press out to attack.

Now that the goal has been scored, the score is ahead, and the opponent has to attack, Barcelona is of course happy to play a more worry-free and relaxed defensive counterattack.

However, the Barcelona people soon found that they wanted to play a defensive counterattack did not come, and the Liverpudlians, who have always been known for their blood, did not have such a strong desire to equalize today, even if the score was behind, the Liverpudlians still generally maintained the original formation and rhythm, if there was a change, it was that Liverpool's forward line had less time to return to defense, and the core of the midfield, Gerrard, had more time to step forward, and overall it was not as the Barcelona people imagined.

Barcelona is indeed a team that is very good at playing downwind, even if Liverpool does not press out to play, after scoring, the Barça people who have no pressure still have an absolute advantage in possession and shooting.

In the 23rd minute, Barcelona right-back Belletti broke through Risse's pass, and the rabbit Saviola's erratic move deceived the defenders, and he met the ball from 22 yards in the middle, but the ball was slightly wide.

A minute later, the Argentine teenager Messi once again performed a passing stunt on the right side of the right side of the penalty area, Bellamy passed directly to the right side of the penalty area, Deco **** shot on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Reina in time, but this time Reina hurriedly saved not far away, the Portuguese quickly followed up and shoveled again at a small angle, but this time the good luck did not accompany Deco again, and the ball hit the side netting.

In the 25th minute, Zambrotta won again against Arbeloa, who was blocked by Arbeloa when he broke through, and Barca won a free-kick from the left.

Ronaldinho's smile at the moment returned, so his creative power also returned, this free kick on the side, he went directly around goalkeeper Reina to the back corner of Liverpool's goal, Reina has no way to do anything about this goal, but at this time the mistake caused the loss of the goal Riser will make up for it, he jumped high and headed Ronaldinho's tricky hanging door out.

Barcelona corner kick, Ronaldinho surprisingly did not cross, in fact, the cross is useless, the landing point is basically Liverpool, he passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, midfielder Xavi stepped forward and shot a strong long shot, but the ball was blocked by Liverpool defender Arbeloa with his body.

Barcelona's got five shots on goal in less than five minutes, as well as three set-pieces, almost stunned the Liverpudlians, and then the somewhat annoyed Liverpudlian stepped up their fouls, they fouled Saviola, Ronaldinho and Messi in five minutes in a row, the main central defender Ager fouled Saviola behind his back, and striker Crouch tackled Puyol in front, both of whom were yellow carded by the referee. The Barcelona players retaliated, and Deco also received a yellow card for his kicking to Chen Yu.

Benitez was worried on the sidelines, especially the yellow card that Crouch ate for no reason, in Benitez's opinion, the yellow card for the striker's defense belongs to the players' feelings and is too impatient.

Benitez looked at his watch, 42 minutes have passed in the first half, at this time it is definitely not possible to let the players shrink again, the opponent is playing more and more relaxed, all kinds of beautiful combinations emerge in an endless stream, all kinds of passing techniques dare to be used in Liverpool, so that even if the space is pressed to the minimum, it may not be able to block the opponent's attack, Benitez feels that it is better to let go, attack in the last few minutes, take advantage of Barcelona's defensive spirit slack, maybe be able to steal one.

Before Benitez could make up his mind, the Liverpool players on the pitch had their first good chance since the start of the game.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Barcelona's left side launched a fast attack, Ronaldinho faced Arbeloa on the side, after Ronaldinho's smile came out, the pass was also like a divine help, he faked a fax, broke through the bag of Arbelloa and Sissoko, and crossed the middle near the bottom line, but the ball was cleared by Carragher's powerful header to the midfield.

Liverpool midfielder Marcos Alonso's header continues to head forward to his striker Crouch.

Crouch has the advantage of height, Barcelona had to send two players to pinch him, not let him grab the landing point, the result of the competition between the three people was that no one touched the ball, and at this time Chen Yu was profitable, he grabbed the header from Alonso, and stopped the ball in his chest to prepare for a volley, but saw Barcelona's player Xavi come to block, Chen Yu changed his attention, he picked the ball, past Xavi's top, just when Chen Yu was about to shoot again, he saw Bellamy at high speed from the far point to the far post, Chen Yu decisively made a diagonal pass, and the ball flew in front of Bellamy like an eye, giving Bellamy space to rush to the top.

Bellamy barely adjusted, paused, jumped and headed straight towards the goal.

After the ball, Bellamy opened his arms and was ready to celebrate, but his header was a little weak, and the unguarded header was actually pushed into the side-netting.

Bellamy's raised arm went from celebration to frustration and clutching his head.

However, the fans in the stands were far away, they saw the net moving, and thought the ball had scored, the Barcelona fans kept shaking their heads, while the Liverpool fans jumped up and applauded vigorously, until the commentator said that the ball did not go in, and the fans regretfully stopped applauding.

Liverpool's counter-attack almost resulted in a goal, but it was only one good chance that Liverpool had four shots on goal in the entire first half, and the Barcelona players were not alert enough to play at their own pace.

On the football pitch, too, there is a lot to look at, and Bellamy's attack just now has shown that luck is starting to tilt in Liverpool's favor, and Barcelona's carelessness has made the balance of victory and defeat more in Liverpool's favor.

Two minutes later, when the fourth official raised the sign for two minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool launched another sudden counter-attack.

The protagonist of Liverpool's counterattack this time is also the protagonist of the most troublesome brawl before the game, Bellamy, when Chen Yu was in the middle of the penalty area as a finisher, Bellamy's speed became an important weapon for Liverpool to create a chance, this time Alonso broke the ball from the feet of Ronaldinho, and transferred directly to Bellamy's feet.

Bellamy barely looked at the defenders in front of him, took the ball forward, and rushed towards Barcelona's half at lightning speed.

Messi tried to come over and destroy Bellamy when he received the ball, but was dodged by Bellamy, and when Bellamy got up, Messi chased after him but was never able to catch up with Bellamy.

Bellamy made it all the way to the side of the Barcelona penalty area, and it was only then that he glanced down the middle.

Da Zhugan and Chen Yu are both running into the penalty area one after the other, one of them is facing the middle of the goal, and the other is slamming into the ribs of the penalty area.

Bellamy saw that Chen Yu's speed was getting faster and faster, and he even doubted that after he went down, Chen Yu would rush out of the bottom line first, he didn't continue to move forward, and directly passed a curved ball to the penalty area.

This may be Bellamy's best curve ball since he stepped into the professional arena, the ball is fast, the arc is low and big, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés was about to attack to get the ball, but halfway through the attack, he suddenly found that the ball was turning farther and farther away from him, he didn't have any hope of getting the ball before Chen Yu, so he immediately retreated, ready to save Chen Yu's header.

The goalkeeper was the most passive when he went back halfway through the attack, and as soon as Valdés took a step back, Chen Yu on the other side had already jumped high, and his body glided in the air against the spinning ball.

At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on last season's old enemies Valdés and Chen Yu.

This is the second meeting between the two after the last Champions League final, the last time Chen Yu won the championship, he and the team won the championship, but Chen Yu also paid the price of lying in bed for half a year, and this time, Valdés did not have the opportunity to make physical contact with Chen Yu.

Valdés sped back, and as he retreated, he leaped up and punched the ball.

The fist touched the ball, watching the ball fly out, Valdés breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he had finally saved the ball, but immediately Valdés felt that something was wrong, because he had not yet landed and found that it was not the Barcelona fans who applauded, but the Liverpool fans, and the referee also pointed to the center circle, at this time Valdés realized that he had retreated into the goal when he had just hit the ball, and he only hit it after the ball crossed the goal line.

1:1,

Liverpool scored.

The goal was scored by Chen Yu, who claims to average one goal per game, which was also his second Champions League goal of the season.

Seeing the ball into the net, Chen Yu didn't dare to celebrate, until the goalkeeper pointed to the middle circle and Chen Yu was sure that the ball was in, he lifted his shirt and covered his head and rushed to the fan stands.

This was a new celebratory action, and attentive fans quickly discovered that the words on the front chest and back of Chen Yu's underwear were written, "Happy Spring Festival." It turned out that this was a goal given by Chen Yu to Chinese fans.

The European Dream Theater Camp Nou, which can accommodate 100,000 people, stopped the hustle and bustle in an instant, at least 90,000 people stayed there, and only about 10,000 Red Army fans were raising their arms and chanting Chen Yu's name, applauding him desperately, and their palms were numb and did not wipe them at all.

At this moment, the entire Camp Nou stadium is echoing with a voice, that is, "Chen! ”

This is a magical Chinese character, and every time this Chinese character rings in the sky above the field, it means that Chen has completed a goal, and it almost means that Chen Yu's team wins.

Even the commentators at the scene couldn't help but chant the name with the fans. "Chen! Old! Old! Beautiful goal! Not only equalized for Liverpool, but also won an extremely important away goal for Liverpool, now the score has become 1:1, it looks like a draw, but in fact Liverpool won half a goal, if this score is maintained until the end of the game, back to Anfield, Liverpool only needs a 0:0 to be able to eliminate the Champions League favorite Barcelona, that is, Barcelona scored again in the second half, and Liverpool, who got an away goal, also occupies a certain advantage, it can be said that Chen's goal opened the door to victory for Liverpool... …”

CCTV's commentator He Hui began to lyrical again at this moment, "...... Pretty! This is like a gliding header dunk, like a butterfly can't fly over the sea, Valdés just can't get past Chen Yu's pass, even if Valdés injured Chen Yu last time, this time Chen Yu came back to stage a perfect revenge again, I believe that after scoring this goal, the shadow in Chen Yu's heart because of the injury will dissipate, we hope that Chen Yu will continue to work hard and lead Liverpool to eliminate Barcelona, go further and further, until he reaches the top of Europe......"

Benitez, who was still hesitating whether to attack or defend in the last few minutes, finally did not need to make a difficult choice, he threw his fat body into the air and let out a roar of rage at the court.

Liverpool's bench and coach's bench had already flown out like a flock of birds that heard the gunshots, some of them pounced on manager Benitez, some ran to the pitch to hug the players passionately, and some turned to the stands and shook their fists at the fans, at this moment, everyone felt the pride of being a Liverpool fan.

Gillette, the American owner who didn't know so much about football in the VIP box, also understood what this goal meant, and this goal was more valuable than the one scored by Barcelona just now, he rushed to the window with open arms and laughed at the stadium, "Chen! You're so good! ”

With the appreciation of Chen Yu, the American guy started the idea of the Asian market, Americans don't understand football, and they don't like football so much, Gillette is no exception, he bought Liverpool by no means because he loves Liverpool, but he took a fancy to the huge interests behind Liverpool's golden signboard, and now the European football market has been carved up by the powers, like Real Madrid, Manchester United have turned their attention to Asia, and Liverpool has been lacking in the appeal of the stars, in the overseas market development has never been strong, And now with Chen Yu's big killer, Gillette thinks it's a good time to open up the Asian market, if he can take advantage of Kayla. Knightley's relationship, Gillette believes that Liverpool will also be able to enter the American market.

Rijkaard has no expression on his face, but his heart is very disappointed and lost, how difficult the goal just scored by Deco, Rijkaard knows very well that this Liverpool team is difficult to play, even more difficult than Chelsea, in the Champions League and other cup competitions, Chelsea has not been Liverpool's opponent, Barcelona and Chelsea have won and lost each other, it is really not easy to win Liverpool, and now Liverpool has taken the lead, and they must be even more tigers in the back, Rijkaard didn't know what he had to do to be able to knock on his opponent's door again.

In distant China, the vast majority of Chinese fans who are celebrating the Spring Festival are waiting in front of the TV to watch this giant feast, most of them were not Liverpool fans before, and now many have become Liverpool fans, and many still like Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and even Barcelona, but this does not prevent them from cheering for Liverpool's equalizer, because it was Chen Yu who scored the goal, which is the pride of Chinese football, and this may be the only fig leaf for Chinese football.

"Entered, entered! Brother Xiao Yu has scored! ”

Zhao Muyu was watching TV in Zhang Youzhen's bedroom at the moment, and when she saw Chen Yu scoring a goal, she excitedly woke up the sleepy Zhang Youzhen, Zhang Youzhen was still in a daze when she heard Chen Yu's goal, and her spirit was lifted, "Ah! It's really in! There is still "Happy Chinese New Year" written on the body, is it written for us? ”

Zhao Muyu smiled: "It must be." ”

In the mansion of Yizhuang in the imperial capital, Zhang Shubin was also watching TV, Chen Yu's goal made him equally excited, but because he was afraid of waking up his wife, he did not applaud or cheer, just clenched his fists and waved vigorously, he believed that with this goal, Liverpool would play very easily later, and it was not impossible to beat Barcelona away.

At this moment, the first half of the game has ended Fiorentina also heard the news of Chen Yu's goal, players and coaches can't help but sigh, this round Fiorentina's opponent is the French league leader Lyon, but the home game of Fiorentina did not show the momentum of the defending champions, they did not score in the first half, and there was no good chance to score, if it wasn't for Lyon midfielder Juninho Jr. did not seize the opportunity, they might even be behind, except for Tony, now everyone else is thinking, if Chen Yu is still in Fiorentina, Now Fiorentina is not already ahead of Lyon.

Prandelli sighed, he knew he had made the wrong choice, but it was useless to regret it, he had to find a way to score now, otherwise the defending champions would die in the round of 16. The acquisition of Liverpool is by no means because he loves Liverpool, but because he has taken a fancy to the huge interests behind Liverpool's golden signboard, and now the European football market has been carved up by the great powers, such as Real Madrid and Manchester United have turned their attention to Asia, and Liverpool has been lacking in the development of overseas markets because of the lack of appealing stars, and now with Chen Yu, Gillette believes that it is a good time to open up the Asian market, if you can use Kayla. Knightley's relationship, Gillette believes that Liverpool will also be able to enter the American market.

Rijkaard has no expression on his face, but his heart is very disappointed and lost, how difficult the goal just scored by Deco, Rijkaard knows very well that this Liverpool team is difficult to play, even more difficult than Chelsea, in the Champions League and other cup competitions, Chelsea has not been Liverpool's opponent, Barcelona and Chelsea have won and lost each other, it is really not easy to win Liverpool, and now Liverpool has taken the lead, and they must be even more tigers in the back, Rijkaard didn't know what he had to do to be able to knock on his opponent's door again.
