Chapter 121: Oxtail
Liverpool's formation today is different from the past, Benitez is a three-back lineup, it seems that Benitez is also very aware of Barcelona's characteristics, and deliberately arranged a three-back lineup to block Barcelona's midfield and front-field cooperation. ”
While the commentator was still explaining, Deco held the ball and cautiously looked at Gerrard who was blocking in front of him. With more than a dozen points played, it can be said that Liverpool's back three lineup pressed Barcelona's midfield very well, at least so far, Barcelona's midfielders have not been able to provide any help to the players in the front court.
Knowing that Gerrard is physically strong and strong defensively, Deco did not take a breakthrough easily, but carefully guarded the ball, strictly guarded Gerrard's sudden steal, and waited quietly, waiting for his teammates to run.
But it's a pity that Hamann and Alonso, as well as Colwill who returned to the defense, are staring at Barcelona's midfielders, and George and Owen are also at the front, so that Barcelona's defenders dare not press up easily, so as not to be cut off by Liverpool to attack quickly.
Due to the needs of this book, Deco also came to Barcelona from Porto a season in advance, so Deco did not stage a dark horse miracle in Porto as in the original history and was called the first-class Deco.
Seeing that Gerrard's defense was very calm and not easy to kick, Deco couldn't help it, looked at the front, suddenly got up, and passed the ball to Ronaldinho, who was reaching out on the left side.
Deco has never been a player who is good at breaking through, and his characteristics are more about the organization and the movement and passing of the midfield.
In the face of Deco's ball, Roma Jr. went up to meet him, jumped up slightly, stopped the ball with his chest, and then turned around without giving Carragher a chance to stick his own chance, and at the same time was ready to break through at any time.
Carragher, who was originally going to stick to Xiao Luo, saw that Xiao Luo's body was so flexible, he turned around quickly, looking ready to break through at any time. Seeing this, while complaining about his slowness and not sticking to Xiao Luo in time, Rag couldn't help but concentrate on preparing to prevent Xiao Luo's breakthrough.
You know, Xiao Luo is an absolute nightmare for any defensive player. Imagination, agility, and physical strength are all the ingredients for a breakthrough player.
He watched Carragher stare at himself with a serious face. Double slightly curved. Prepare defensively. Xiao Luo couldn't help but smile. Without thinking too much, he slowly approached Carragher with the ball. Prepare to take a breakthrough.
Indeed in this world. I'm afraid there isn't a single defender who can scare Rowe yet. And Xiao Luo will never consider who the opponent is while breaking through. How good the defense is. Because Xiao Luo has confidence in himself, and he is absolutely confident. Believe as long as you want to. You can beat anyone.
"O~ Jamie and Ronaldinho are up against each other. It looks like the Brazilians are ready to make a breakthrough. Jamie beware. "I saw Xiao Luo preparing to break through. The narrator couldn't help but worry about Carragher. I'm afraid the whole world knows about it. On the field, this Brazilian really danced the samba on the court. I'm afraid no one has been able to stop it yet.
As a South American player. Yepes has played against Ronaldo's Brazil team in the national team. At this time, Yepes remembered it clearly. Compete on the spot. It's Xiao Luo who inadvertently exploded. One pass and one shot defeated his own home Colombia.
Understand how powerful Xiao Luodi's breakthrough is. Therefore, Yepes did not expect Carragher to be able to stop Ronaldo. So Yepes couldn't help but walk behind Carragher. Top five meters behind Carragher. Be prepared to make up for it at any time.
With two or three minutes to go, Ronaldo started his samba dance, slowly slicing his feet over the ball before starting to ride his bike.
Seeing this, Carragher didn't dare to be careless, because Carragher knew very well that Xiao Luo was ready to break through at this time, as long as he was a little careless and distracted, I was afraid that within an instant, he would be passed by the other party.
Seeing himself pedaling his bicycle so slowly, Carragher turned a blind eye, and Xiao Luo suddenly understood that the guy in front of him was definitely a calm defensive player, and he would generally not choose to make an easy move without absolute certainty.
Thinking of this, Xiao Luo also stopped the samba dance and began to decide to break through directly. At this time, Xiao Luo is only one meter away from Carragher, and the distance of one meter can basically be said to be the best distance whether it is an offensive side or a defensive side.
Suddenly, Xiao Luo used the instep of his right foot to flick the ball to the left of his right front, and at this moment, Carragher finally reacted, and directly began to focus on his left side, began to kick out, and broke the ball around him.
And at this time, Xiao Luo's right instep suddenly turned, and with his terrifying body flexibility, he once again used the inside side of his foot to flick the ball to the left front, followed by Suddenly added.
"The oxtail is amazing!" Seeing this scene, the narrator could no longer remain calm and silent, and exclaimed.
Xiao Luo did use the ox's tail this time, relying on the terrifying ball sense and reaction, as well as the perverted flexibility, in a very irregular situation, forcibly changing the direction of the ball.
In the face of Xiao Luo's feint breakthrough, Carragher also looked very weak, although Carragher also knew that Xiao Luo often used this trick in La Liga, but when Xiao Luo took the first step to break through, Carragher also had to follow.
After all, the distance between the two sides is only a short meter, and if Carragher doesn't kick, Xiao Luo can directly break through Carragher to the right front. At a distance of one meter, with Xiao Luo's explosive power and degree, it can be said that Carragher will not give him any chance to react at all.
Carla, though
still chose to make a kick, but even so, Carragher's failure to do it only allowed Xiao Luo to make a wonderful breakthrough.
"Onaldinho's breakthrough was so exciting, thinking that the game had just started, and to be able to see such a wonderful breakthrough, the next game will definitely be even more exciting. Ugh, Leo had already rushed over, and it was clear that Leo was absolutely trying to make Ronaldo stop himself. ”
Seeing that the game had only started for more than ten minutes, there was such a wonderful and extremely difficult pass as the ox tail on the court, although it was a Barcelona player, the commentator still had to sigh at Xiao Luo's outstanding foot skills and physical flexibility.
Although Smitchell has also performed oxtail passing before, compared with Xiao Luo's bulltail passing this time, Smitchell's oxtail is not qualified at all. Or in this world, the trick of using the ox's tail to pass people should be at the forefront of Luo's name.
The commentator's words were not wrong, Yepes, who was lying behind Carragher when Xiao Luo broke through Carragher, began to rush forward. Obviously, Yepes knew that he might not be able to defend Ronaldo in a one-on-one situation, so Yepes wanted to take advantage of Ronaldo's lack of full control of the ball in Carragher's moment, and take the interception.
However, Yepes underestimated Xiao Luo's outstanding ball at his feet, and in the face of the approaching Carragher, Xiao Luo did not fully regain control of the ball, but even so, it could not hinder and stop Xiao Luo's continued breakthrough.
Just wanted to catch up with the ball, but Yepes rushed over, Xiao Luo also instantly gave up controlling the ball and passed the ball directly behind Yepes, and he continued to chase the ball again.
The ball was divided, and it was so simple and so elegant, and at this time, Xiao Luo also broke through Carragher and Yepes in a row, and had already caught up with the ball and began to cut inside.
"Stop him, stick it, stop him, don't let him get up and bang on the door." Seeing that Xiao Luo had practiced the two of them like a god, Dudek couldn't help but be surprised, watched Xiao Luo start to cut inward, and hurriedly reminded Hyypia in front of him.
In fact, as early as when Xiao Luo passed Yepes, Hyypia had already begun to fill in Carragher's position, and began to think that Xiao Luo rushed and was ready to block Xiao Luo's shot. So when Dudek was surprised and reminded Hyypia, Hyypia had already managed to stop between Dudek and Ronaldo.
"Ugh!" Seeing Hyypia appear in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked at the surrounding situation, now Liverpool's replay is very fast, Larsson and Gerrard are guarded to death, and Deco, who is supporting to catch up, and Alonso on the side is also eyeing him.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Luo also understood that there was no way to pass the ball to his teammates to assist, so he could only choose to do it alone. Hearing the panting sound that followed, Xiao Luo knew very well that Carragher and Yepes, who had been broken through by themselves, were desperately chasing back, and if they didn't shoot again, they might not have a chance to shoot.
Thinking of this, Xiao Luo looked up at the goal and Dudek's position, although there was a mountain of Hyypia standing in front of him, but Xiao Luo directly ignored the existence of Hyypia, and relied on the judgment of the goal and Dudek's position, and directly hit the goal on the spot.
Don't look at Xiao Luo didn't run, but Xiao Luo, who shot on the spot, was also very powerful, and the ball was very fast, spinning around the inner arc of Hyypia and flying towards the far corner of the goal.
"Huh!" With a loud roar, Dudek raised his head and stared at the ball in the air with his eyes, his body quickly retreated, and when the ball fell, he suddenly jumped up and dragged the ball out of the bottom line with one palm.
"Ao Liang, it's so beautiful, Dudek's save is very wonderful, although the Brazilian's shot is very sudden and powerful, but Dudek still managed to lift the ball out of the bottom line and defuse Barcelona's attack."
As the ball was lifted out of the bottom line by Dudek's single palm, the originally quiet Anfield stadium suddenly boiled, and all the Reds fans gave applause to Dudek who made a wonderful save.
You must know that at the beginning, with Xiao Luo's wonderful and crazy breakthrough, the fans suddenly fell silent, because everything they saw in the eyes of the fans seemed to tell themselves that Xiao Luo was unstoppable, so the atmosphere on the stadium has been very depressing. However, as Dudek lifted the ball off the baseline with one palm, the fans could finally breathe a sigh of relief, shouting frantically, venting their nervous feelings.
Seeing that his shot was held up by Dudek with one palm, Xiao Luo shrugged his shoulders very indifferently, and smiled at Hyypia who stopped in front of him and said something.
After all, Xiao Luo didn't expect his shot to score at the moment of shooting, after all, at that time, whether from the angle or position, unless his luck was really good and Dudek made a low-level mistake, otherwise, his shot was basically hopeless.
The reason why he chose to shoot was just that he didn't want to waste an opportunity to attack, after all, he didn't have a chance to pass, and if he didn't shoot, he would be entangled by the retreating Carragher and Yepez, and he would have no chance to shoot at that time. In this case, it is better to shoot and gamble on luck, at least to get a corner kick.
Barcelona had the first corner of the game, but seriously, there really wasn't anyone in Barcelona's attacking line who had good headers. Although Larsson's header ability is good, under the protection of the strong Hyypia, he was completely frozen by Hyypia.
As for Gyuli, that height and body are not even as good as Colwill, let alone rushing into the penalty area to fight for a header. Xiao Luo's body and height do have improved, and in terms of heading, Xiao Luo's level is really not good.
In such a situation, a corner kick from Barcelona is for profit
, seemingly unthreatening, Pace jumped high and headed the ball directly to Colwill.
Colwill took the ball and Will started to add and rushed towards Barcelona's half with the ball. At this time, there are only two Edmilson and Puyol left in the back of Barcelona, and George and Owen are starting to run, which is a good opportunity for Liverpool to counter-attack. (Edmilson, like Deco and Gyuli, also came to Barcelona a year early, for the same reasons.)
Looking at Colwill who was frantically dribbling the ball towards his own half, Xavi and Motta suddenly stopped doing it and rushed towards Colwill, ready to block Colwill, at least to ease the degree of Colwill's advance, and buy time for their teammates to retreat.
Mota, who has been hovering between dual citizenship in Brazil and Italy, has completely decided to become a Brazilian citizen this year and represent Brazil. Motta is a strong midfielder with excellent skills at his feet, strong interception ability, and with a height of 187cm, Motta has a big advantage when it comes to high balls.
In the face of Motta, who rushed up violently, Colwill did not choose to break through, but directly handed the ball to Owen on the right, while he continued to add Motta and continued to rush towards Barcelona's penalty area, ready to respond at any time.
Owen knew that Puyo's defense was strong, and his reflexes and degrees were fast, so he did not take a breakthrough, but passed the ball directly to George on the left, and he continued to cut towards Barcelona's penalty area, ready to play a one-two with George.
Puyol, who has experience in the game, knew what Owen was playing the moment he started to run the ball, and immediately reminded his teammates loudly: pay attention to the opponent's two-one. Puyol himself, on the other hand, continued to chase Owen.
However, Puyol's concern seemed to be unnecessary, as he had just received a pass from Owen and could say that as soon as he stopped the ball, Edmilson slid directly into the tackle, breaking the ball and causing George to fall to the ground.
It turned out that as early as the moment of Owen's pass, Edelson started to start, so when George just stopped the ball, Edmilson, who had already slid the tackle, did not give George any time to react at all, and directly cut off the ball.
"Ao ~ Edmilson cut off the ball at his feet, the Brazilian's performance is really good, and he knows whether Barcelona is a La Liga club or a Brazilian club, why there are so many Brazilians in the team."
Seeing that Liverpool's attack was broken by Edmilson, the commentator couldn't help it, after all, Edmilson's tackle was very clean, and he didn't give the commentators, fans and referees any excuses and reasons to make trouble. However, the reason why the narrator is a narrator is that mouth is not suspicious, and it is really poisonous.
No, seeing that there was no way to trouble Edmilson, the commentator began to sarcastically talk about Barcelona again, thinking that Barcelona was not a Spanish team at all, but more like a Brazilian team, because there were a lot of Brazilians in the team.
You must know that in general, the main players of any team are the most players of their own team, not to mention a giant club like Barcelona, in which the players can be said to be a collection of national football elites.
However, Barcelona at this time is really a bit of a problem, although Barcelona has the largest number of Spaniards in the team, but in terms of main players, Spaniards are not as many as Brazilians.
Look at Barcelona, the Spaniards only have Valdés, Puyol, Xavi, and the Brazilians in the Barcelona team: Edmilson, two full-backs: Silvinho and Belletti, Motta, Ronaldinho are all Brazilians, if Deco is not added to the Portuguese nationality, it is also a Brazilian.
It can be said that Barcelona's main squad at this time, basically Brazilians occupy half of the country, which is a very faceless thing for a giant club that has always been top-notch, especially for this club that is not a giant of Brazilian clubs.
However, Edmilson was not affected by the commentator, or ignored it, and when he cut off the ball at George's feet, he immediately passed the ball to Silvinho on the side.
Depressed and getting up from the ground, George looked at Owen on the side, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating that there was no way, and at the same time extended his thumb to Owen, indicating that Owen passed the ball well.
Looking at George's reaction, Owen couldn't help it, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating that he could understand.
"Larsson's shot, it's so dangerous, it's almost Barcelona's goal." By the time George and Owen were still talking, Barcelona had already completed a quick counter-attack.
Or because of Liverpool's counterattack just now, George was suddenly cut off, and the midfielder did not have time to prepare for defense, giving Barcelona a chance for the mid-length player. Xavi made a big pass, the ball came to the feet of Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo shook the defense of Yepes, directly found the gap, passed the ball to the penalty area, Larsson got the ball directly, shook Hyypia to hit the goal, but unfortunately Larsson's shot was a little anxious, and the ball was finally slightly out of the line and rolled out of the bottom line.
But even so, Larsson's shot scared Liverpool into a cold sweat. At this time, it also made everyone realize how terrifying Barcelona's midfield is, that is, as long as you have the slightest hole, I am afraid that it will lead to conceding goals.
Seeing this situation, Lao Bei had no choice but to stand on the sidelines again, shouting loudly at Gerrard's three backs, signaling the three of them to cheer up and pay attention to defense.
(Since it is difficult to find information about the whole Barcelona C304 season, so the players all wrote according to the later, hereby explained, don't be surprised if you see it.) )
