Chapter 694: Top 3 in Brazil

The Barcelona players, who were behind at home in their own home, were obviously in a hurry.

The tempo of their attack began to pick up.

But the great thing about this team is that after the tempo is increased, the passing and receiving are still very fluid.

To put it bluntly, the players have excellent basic skills at their feet.

But soon, the Barcelona players also noticed that something was wrong.

That is, they entered the "acceleration mode", and they failed to lead Manchester City in the attack and defense speed.

It's as if City are very comfortable with this rhythm.

Rijkaard's eyebrows were solemn.

Really!

Manchester City also have an 'acceleration mode'.

A lot of people have misconceptions about pass-and-control football.

thinks that passing control is a constant inversion of the backfield.

It's the control of holding the ball and swallowing it slowly.

A counterattack that is considered to be the opposite of passing is a quick attack, a quick pass.

But in fact, the top transmission control is never slow!

The kind of quick one-kick shot of three or four people in a tight area.

That combination of long and short passes.

That kind of sudden start of short dribbling and lateral escape.

Compared to the counter-attacking kick, it is definitely countless times better.

It's just that most teams don't have enough passing skills.

Or that their players' foot skills, tactical understanding, and brain reactions are not up to the mark.

This is also the biggest reason why many weak team cores go to strong teams and don't play in the end...... The brain speed can't keep up.

Maybe in any action, if you ask this weak team core to adjust half a step, he can make an effect comparable to that of the strong team core.

But the problem is that the tactics of the strong team and the opponent will not give the core of the weak team half a step to adjust.

If you hesitate, you will lose!

This sentence is half a truth in football.

"No wonder Manchester City have been able to play such a horrible offensive this season." Rijkaard was terrified.

Barcelona can't maintain the "acceleration mode" for a long time, and the players' abilities and tactics are still lacking, which may be the tacit understanding that really meets the standard.

Although some players have only joined Barcelona this season.

But the core members of Barcelona's possession team have played together since childhood.

On the Manchester City side, it is also a squad formed last season and added to this season. But it seems that the understanding of the "acceleration mode" is deeper than that of Barcelona.

Maybe the real tacit understanding is slightly worse.

But the average player has a bit of technical ability than Barcelona.

The tactics also seem to be more complete than Barcelona's.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Rijkaard had to admit that Barcelona hung in the air in this game.

But they're not completely out of the void of opportunities.

The performance of Ronaldinho and Quaresma is crucial for Barcelona.

These two players are the strongest breaking points of Barcelona at the moment, and they are their ceiling.

On Manchester City's side, Ribery counted one, and Deng Kai was another.

Deng Kai has to take on the task of organization, so his ability to break the game is to open up to Ronaldinho.

Quaresma, on the other hand, is much more mature than Ribery.

After all, Quaresma has been famous for a long time, even earlier than Deng Kai, Ronaldo, and Ronaldo.

He's Ronaldo's template player!

Ribery has only really entered the public eye this season and is starting to have the style of a first-class winger.

Oh!

No, twenty-fifth minute.

Quaresma changed his centre of gravity directly on the right flank and then flicked the ball down the ground to lead Lahm by half a body.

Then he swept the ball into the box with a cross and threatened it.

It's a pity that when Saviola received the ball, the angle of the shot was already small.

The ball is fast and difficult to handle.

He missed a great chance with a putt that hit the ball into the side-netting.

Thirty-first minute,

It was Quaresma, who singled out Lahm and sent in a cross.

But alas, Chiellini pressed Saviola's header to clear the ball.

Saviola, nicknamed Rabbit, is not as good at bouncing as a rabbit.

In front of Chiellini, who is 1.87 meters, it would be disrespectful to give him a header.

However, it also reflects a situation that Rahm cannot defend himself against Quaresma.

Thirty-third minute.

Ronaldo found a good opportunity in the forward midfield position.

Xavi crosses diagonally to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo leaned against Mascherano and slammed the ball back with his heel.

Wear the crotch!

Then turn around and divide the ball!

Mascherano didn't even know what was going on.

"Oh! Mascherano is actually doing well, but it is still a bit fantastical to want to prevent Xiao Luo. ”

"Ronaldo is one of the key players in the midfield of the Brazilian national team."

"And Mascherano hasn't even made it to the Argentine senior national team."

"If he can limit Ronaldo, then he will be called up by the Argentine national team immediately! And become a starter! ”

Ronaldo dribbled into the box.

Thiago Silva uses both hands and feet.

However, Ronaldo was too nimble, swaying from side to side, kicking Thiago Silva's calf with a kick and then falling.

Backbite!

The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.

Thiago Silva clutched his head in pain and did not appeal to the referee.

Because he really can't prevent it.

Chiellini went up to fight the referee, but the referee was adamant.

Ten seconds later.

Ronaldinho took the penalty himself.

β€œGOAL!”

"The aggregate score is three to three!"

'Barcelona are ahead of Manchester City on two away goals and they are once again half-footed in the final of the UEFA Cup!'

"Ronaldo started the samba dance, which is his celebratory move."

"The call of the Barcelona fans rang out at the scene."

"Camp Nou has become a sea of joy!"

'The young Thiago Silva made a big mistake and he wiped out the lead of his team. But we can't blame him because he's up against one of the three strongest Brazilian players at the moment! ”

Twenty-year-old Thiago Silva has also never been selected for the Brazilian national team.

'His performances at Manchester City give people belief that he can have this day in the future, but obviously not today.

On the pitch, Deng Kai was comforting Thiago Silva and helping him adjust: "It's okay, if you can't stop Xiao Luo. Nadesaili and Kompany couldn't prevent it. ”

"It's good to be able to restrain Xiao Luo appropriately."

"He's one of the best attacking players in the world, and he's even better than me when it comes to breakouts."

Thiago Silva nodded.

Also.

During the team's training match, Thiago Silva was able to properly restrict Deng Kai, the world's number one, and now he has not prevented Xiao Luo, which is obviously Xiao Luo's problem.

Strong violations.

Forty-second minute.

Deng Kai dribbled horizontally in the middle, shook off Xavi, attracted Davis's defense and picked up a cross to the side.

Ribery stopped and took out Van Bronckhorst directly.

Van Bronckhorst played for Arsenal last season but was mostly a substitute.

At that time, Ribery was still in a relatively immature stage.

He clearly underestimated Ribery's ability and carelessly lost Jingzhou.
