Chapter 121: High-level duel

"Very strong.."

Ye Luo retreated to the vicinity of the center circle.

Regrets are inevitable.

The previous rhythm continued to play and he was confident that he could score in a matter of minutes!

But now Barcelona's reaction has also made Yelo realised

This opponent is no ordinary opponent.

This is the opponent in the Champions League final.

It is impossible to easily knock out the opponent.

Ye Luo now has a lot of experience in the game.

He didn't take the liberty of asking his Arsenal teammates to go up with him, but retreated to the midfield, stabilized, adjusted, waited patiently, and waited for the opportunity to attack!

Facing Arsenal's defence.

Barcelona is not in a hurry either.

They pass patiently.

Now the two teams seem to be two martial arts masters, and after the initial temptation, they began to compete for internal strength.

Naturally, the scene is not very good.

In fact.

Many fans feel that Barcelona's style of play is too torturous.

Slow possession, a game that seems to be in possession for the sake of possession.

Make the pace of the game very slow.

They seem to be playing a game of passing on the pitch.

Wait for the opponent to lose concentration and kill with one hit.

Facing the current situation on the field.

Boos erupted on the pitch.

It was Arsenal fans who were very unhappy with Barcelona's possession at the back.

Of course.

This is their means of putting pressure on Barcelona.

Not really.

They really don't like that way of playing.

If the ball is in Arsenal's hands now.

They will definitely give a round of applause.

For Barcelona.

Their players are also mentally prepared for the game to be on the road – much better than away, in fact.

Which away away will give Barcelona more than 20,000 tickets?

They pass the ball patiently.

Xavi, Iniesta, and even Sergio Busquets all have the ability to deliver a penetrating threat ball!

And whether it is Messi, Neymar, or Suarez, they all have strong finishing ability.

And Arsenal on their side.

As soon as the ball conversion is completed, a wave of fast breaks will be played immediately!

What is caught is the space after the conversion of the ball!

And Yelo is the stabilizer that makes Arsenal's players feel at ease to defend.

There was Yelo on the pitch.

No matter how little possession there is.

Arsenal's players are not afraid.

They're not going to press out, they're waiting, waiting for Barcelona's forward pass!

As a result, the pace of the game slowed down.

But those who know know it.

At this slow pace.

Two teams.

It's all about killing machines.

"Both sides have demonstrated very mature game experience and tactical literacy!"

Lineker is an insider.

He sighed.

Really.

His voice had just fallen.

on the pitch.

Barcelona suddenly struck.

After Iniesta and Xavi made a one-two, Iniesta shoved a kick forward!

Messi cut in along the touchline and pressed Arsenal's back line to move.

At the moment of Iniesta's pass.

He thrust in!

Transmit.

Run.

The cooperation is very tacit.

"Iniesta Straight Stop!"

In the midst of the exclamations of the commentators.

When I saw that the football was about to cut through the Arsenal defence like a knife through butter.

Van Dijk made a very crucial defensive move, looking back at Messi's position as he adjusted his position and stole the ball at crucial moments.

Subsequently.

He looked up and looked at Yelo's position.

And then

Bigfoot Long Pass!!

The soccer ball flies diagonally across the pitch.

Accurately found Ye Luo on the left rib.

Ye Luo stopped the ball at the edge of the penalty area, knocked the ball and turned to cut inside to shoot!

The action is done in one go.

In the midst of the cheers of the Arsenal fans and the exclamations of the Barcelona fans.

Yelo's shot was saved by Valdés.

Corner kick!

"Corner! Arsenal's set-pieces are coming! ”

The commentators were immediately perked.

Arsenal's set-piece attacks are dangerous.

Barcelona, on the other hand, have not been very good defensively from set-pieces.

Arsenal have a lot of players with good headers.

Therefore, the Arsenal side is practicing set-pieces as a very important offensive means.

Now there is a stalemate between the two sides on the field.

Set-pieces are the best way to break the deadlock.

Ye Luo stood in front of the door.

It doesn't matter if he plays a leading role in this set-piece attack.

There will always be no shortage of defenders around him.

Because Barcelona didn't dare to let Yelo go.

It's no different from looking for death.

And for Arsenal.

It was a very tough game indeed.

Although Wenger was vaccinated before the game, he said that he did not care about possession.

But now the possession rate is almost three-seven.

Not having the ball at your feet for a long time is also a test of the mentality of the Arsenal players.

Get a corner at this moment.

That, of course, is something to put to good use.

Arsenal's players lined up in a row, all crowded in the middle.

As soon as Cazorla's corner kick came out, he quickly dispersed and went to hit their respective landing spots.

This is a corner kick tactic that is now popular.

It makes it difficult for defenders to make judgments in advance.

Barcelona is of course very nervous.

All of their players came back to defend.

Even Messi came back and stood on the front post to prevent Cazorla from sneaking into the front post corner kick and scoring directly.

The rest of Barcelona's players also have a division of labor.

Someone is standing in position, someone is staring.

Zone combined with man-to-man corner defence.

It's also a popular defensive strategy.

The fact that a defensive strategy can become popular is a sign that it has in fact been successful.

And in terms of marking.

Ye Luo is clearly a top priority.

In the eyes of the Barcelona players.

Yelo is the most important player.

He is also the most threatening player.

It's not just that.

The Barcelona fans in front of the TV and in the stands thought the same thing

They chanted "Keep an eye on Yelo, freeze him!" ”

The two centre-backs, Pique and Mascherano, are not in position, but are here to mark.

Specifically staring at Ye Luo.

It can be seen how much Barcelona attaches importance to Yelo.

Especially Pique.

His hand was already on Yelo's jersey.

Yelo shook his hand and knocked Pique's hand off.

In the next second, Pique applied it like a dog skin plaster, and of course there was no shortage of movements in his hands.

But he didn't move much.

The referee noticed, but did not warn.

Instead, the whistle blew.

Let Cazorla drive the ball out.

Just when Cazorla was just getting ready to run.

Peake suddenly screamed!

It turned out that in order to get rid of Pique's arm holding the jersey, Yelo unceremoniously slashed his hand down and split Pique's hand.

After all, this scream attracted the attention of the referee.

Peake covered his face - Yelo hit his hand, and he didn't know what to do with his face, maybe it was habit.

Peake covered his face and rolled on the ground screaming.

The dramatic effect is full.

The referee motioned for Pique to get up.

Then he gave Yelo and Pique a verbal warning, respectively.

Pique didn't really converge.

Wait until the referee leaves.

He grabbed Yelo's jersey again.

Are you kidding.

Ye Luo's header was so powerful, how could he let him go.

As long as the referee doesn't give me the cards, I'll pull it!

And there are so many people when the corners are attacked.

It's normal to have a little movement.

This time, Ye Luo didn't have the same knowledge as him.

However, everyone's attention is on the rivalry between Pique and Yelo.

Everyone saw Yelo trying so hard to get rid of Pique.

I think that the key figure in this Arsenal corner is Ye Luo. (End of chapter)
