Chapter 746: Goal is King (Medium)

(2nd Update)

Rijkaard is not as disappointed as the fans, because Messi almost scored, if the stronger and more experienced Ronaldinho broke out, maybe Barcelona can complete the reversal, Rijkaard is very confident in Ronaldinho, he believes that in such a world-renowned giant battle, the big player Ronaldinho will never be willing to be silent.

Rijkaard did not misunderstand Ronaldinho, after the outbreak of Messi, the little brother in the team, Ronaldinho's fighting spirit has also risen, although now his body has dropped a lot, but players like him will never tolerate being pressed on the head by others, he has been accumulating his body, ready to make the most critical blow.

Ronaldo has been silent for almost 80 minutes, but the Liverpool players have not relaxed in the slightest, Ronaldo has the ability to change the game in a second, and no one can guarantee that Ronaldinho will not suddenly explode until the game is over.

In the 78th minute of the game, Ronaldinho suddenly started in the middle, he faked a fax, shook off Sissoko, who was closely marking him, and cut into the Liverpool penalty area at high speed.

Ronaldinho's breakthrough is more terrible than Messi's, Messi's breakthrough ability is now better, but Messi's breakthrough is much worse than Ronaldinho's, his shooting is not as accurate as Ronaldinho's, the timing of the pass is not as good as Ronaldinho's, Messi's breakthrough looks terrifying, but it is actually easier to defend.

Seeing Ronaldinho break through Sissoko, Alonso flew over and gave Ronaldinho a tackle, Ronaldinho just dodged before Gerrard arrived, he stole Ronaldo's ball from the side and knocked Ronaldo to the grass.

Ronaldinho's speed is not as fast as Messi's, he just passed a player, and before he could accelerate, Liverpool used two consecutive tackles to extinguish Ronaldinho's fire.

In the 80th minute, Ronaldinho had another flash of inspiration, and he used his trademark cow tail swing to get past Alonso, but before Ronaldinho could make the next move, he was knocked off the side by Sissoko.

Barcelona got a free kick opportunity, which was 267 meters away from the goal, which was also a good opportunity to shoot directly on goal.

Ronaldinho stood in front of the ball and prepared to take the penalty without consulting the other two set-piece penalty takers, Max and Deco, who wanted to take advantage of the free kick to change the shape of the field.

Ronaldinho made a small run and struck a beautiful banana ball with his right foot, which curled gracefully around the wall and into the top left corner of the goal.

Reina's table today is also extraordinary, with a score of 1:1, they all conceded 1 goal, but Reina threw Valdés on the opposite side out of the street, but in the face of this free kick with good speed and angle, he tried his best to fly out and couldn't touch the ball, so he could only watch the ball fly from his fingertips to the net.

All eyes were on the ball at the moment, and with a little more than 10 minutes to go until the end of the game, if the goal was scored, Barcelona would once again take the initiative of the game and lay a solid foundation for the next leg of the do-or-die battle.

However, today was not Ronaldinho's day, as the almost perfect free-kick bounced off the crossbar.

"Alas!"

Ronaldinho, who stared at the ball after the free-kick, couldn't help but sigh, and he seemed to realize that he might not have had the luck to score today.

Rijkaard, who was on the sidelines, punched the windshield, his mood was extremely bad, such a beautiful free kick could not be scored, how could Barcelona break through the door of Liverpool again, is it only by penalty kicks?

Benitez was ruined by Messi and Ronaldinho during this time, and the thrilling scenes are endless, and if it weren't for good luck, Liverpool may have been reversed by Barcelona now.

At this time, Benitez has no greater ambitions, as long as he can keep the score of 1:1, he is thankful, before coming to Spain, Benitez actually has a goal in his heart, this goal has upper, middle and lower three, the best is of course to win, no matter how to win, as long as you win, it is the best goal, the second is a draw with a goal, as long as there is a goal, then it is the best draw; The third is a small defeat with a goal, as long as there is a goal, whether it is 1:2, 2:3 or 3:4, Benitez can accept it.

However, in Benitez's heart, just in his heart, he still has a little luxury, and this luxury is Gerrard and Chen Yu.

Gerrard didn't score in the game, but he played a mainstay role in midfield, and Benitez freed up Gerrard after the substitution, but so far Gerrard has not had a good appearance, and Benitez believes that Gerrard is more than capable of doing better in attack.

As for Chen Yu, who had already scored a goal, Benitez wondered that he would have been quiet for so long after scoring a goal, and if it weren't for the constant reminders from Liverpool fans chanting the name of "Chen Yu", Benitez would have forgotten Chen Yu's deposit.

Playing stealth on the field is not Chen Yu's habit, but today he is bound to the consciousness of opportunistic striker Inzaghi, obviously, Jiu Ye only likes to score goals, he will not do anything other than scoring goals, after Chen Yu scored the first goal, Barcelona's players were very tight on him, and even did not hesitate to foul Chen Yu to take the ball, and now after nearly half of the game, Barcelona's defense of Chen Yu has decreased a lot, and at this time Chen Yu's opportunity is coming.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Liverpool had a chance to counterattack, the brawl goal protagonists Bellamy and Reese combined on the wing, Barcelona defenders Belletti and Iniesta were out of position, and the fast Bellamy crossed at high speed.

Looking at the high arc, everyone thought it was Crouch, but Crouch missed Bellamy's pass under the middle of the block.

Under normal circumstances, this pass either flew out of the touchline or was intercepted by the full-back, but this time it was an exception, before the ball flew out of the penalty area, Chen Yu appeared at the back post unconsciously, he jumped high and hit a powerful header into the near corner of the goal.

It was a beautiful header and the only downside was that it was a little further from goal.

When Chen Yu hit the goal with a header, goalkeeper Valdés was still moving to the side in the middle of the goal, and when he saw Chen Yu suddenly kill and hit the goal with a header, Valdés almost subconsciously flew out horizontally, sweeping the ball with one palm.

Valdés' reaction was world-class, and the seemingly impossible save was made by him, and the ball was blocked by his fingertips.

There was no goal, but there was a burst of applause and shouts in the stands, and the Barcelona fans were thrilled by Valdés' save, which was a life-or-death save, and if Liverpool exceeded the score, I was afraid that the next leg at Anfield would turn into a cutscene.

The commentator at the scene sighed and said: "Beautiful header goal, same beautiful save, Valdés finally showed his strength, this reaction speed is by no means worse than Reina, and Valdés's movement speed and ability to save a single ball are stronger than Reina, Barcelona gave up Reina and chose Valdés is not blind......"

Chinese commentator He Hui praised Chen Yu's beautiful running, "If you can't go in, the goalkeeper is against the sky, but being able to reach the ball is definitely an ability, this is the smell of a top striker, Chen Yu's running is definitely worth learning from forwards all over the world." ”

"Holy."

Seeing that the ball was saved by Valdés, Chen Yu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he felt that the ball was stable, he didn't expect Valdés to react so quickly, this time he didn't score, I am afraid that Barcelona will pay attention to him again, and I am afraid that it will increase a lot of difficulty if I want to find another opportunity to score.

But Chen Yu did not lose heart, because he knew that Barcelona was more eager to score goals than Liverpool, and as long as Barcelona focused on attacking, his chance would come.

With about six or seven minutes remaining, Rijkaard made his final substitution, with Skate Goodjohnsson replacing the overly short Saviola and using the Icelander to attack Liverpool's defence.

Not to mention how effective Rijkaard's substitution is, the main thing is that he sent a message to the players, that is, they must attack, they must score.

How can the Barcelona players not understand what the manager means at this time, they are all players who often play in the Champions League, they know what such a score means, if they want to advance, they must play the home factor well and break the door of Liverpool at least once.

The Barcelona fans in the stands also understood that time was running out, and began to have a group of fans standing up and applauding, singing the team anthem, cheering for the Barcelona players, and then more and more Barcelona fans stood up and applauded the players, and finally all the Barcelona fans got up, and they used their applause and singing to cheer for their players and make them persevere.

At this time of the game, whether it is Liverpool or Barcelona's physical fitness, everyone is struggling to support at the end of this time, and the encouragement of the fans is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Barcelona at this time, and Barcelona, which was gradually declining, is excited again, and they storm around Liverpool's penalty area, wanting to rewrite the score on the field.

At this time, Benitez also made substitution adjustments, Sissoko, Kuyt, Benitez's move is very fierce, when the opponent attacked, he replaced a back with a striker, not to mention the effect, this courage alone made Liverpool fans and players are in high spirits, and their hearts are full of fighting courage.
