Chapter Sixty-Nine: He's Awesome!
More than 70,000 fans came to Camp Nou today, and so many people sang the team song together after the opening concert, and the momentum created was overwhelming.
But unfortunately, they sang for less than 2 minutes, and the momentum of the skyrocketing team was almost pinched back.
Deco, this Porto soft-footed shrimp who faced the Gunners on both waists in the last game and was trained for a whole game, is in amazing shape as soon as he comes up today!
Xavi's ceiling is undoubtedly higher, but the core of the face Porto is still a little tender, not only after the opening under Porto's rapid pressure on the rare ball mistakes, but also by Deco with body and experience when defending.
This time Alenichev received the ball on the right flank, broke through again and passed diagonally into the box.
High school striker Jankauskas headed in goal, and the veteran goalkeeper Bonano, who has suffered a serious decline in form this season, finally fought for a while, dragged the ball off the crossbar with one hand, and then almost flashed his waist.
"Hell, stand up to that Brazilian!"
Van Gaal was very dissatisfied with watching from the sidelines, and he specifically told him before the game that he must not let the Brazilian take the ball at will, and must always put pressure on him, just like Arsenal to kill him.
"Top? Take what top? Take the top of your head? ”
At this time, Mendieta and Riquelme both complained in their hearts, and the relationship between the two and Van Gaal was a little strained, especially after Riquelme was forcibly moved to the side, and there were already some signs of trouble recently.
Deco started the game with a series of mid-game plays, and the Barcelona players finally understood that the Brazilian didn't seem to be as good as in the video, and they really had to give him intensity.
But before they can play up the intensity, Barcelona will have to defend the corner.
Philip was nervous at this point, and Jankauskas had just finished with a header under his defence and almost scored.
Now defending corners, he is naturally more nervous.
As for self-confidence, it has long been consumed by the scolding of the entire Barcelona from the media to the fans in the past year or so.
But the more nervous the competitive game is, the less confident it is, and the more worried about mistakes, the easier it is to be unlucky, which is the so-called unlucky dish!
After Deco's goal was sent, it was Jankauskas, who was at the highest point on the field.
Philip was obviously at a disadvantage in the confrontation with him, and he was so pressed that he couldn't jump.
"I'll go!"
Zhang Desheng took a panoramic view of the corner kick outside the penalty area, and Puyol, who was only 178cm tall, rushed over like crazy and pushed the football away.
"Awesome, it's really a bit of a little lion king!"
Zhang Desheng glanced at Puyol's combat power at this time, it didn't seem to be very high, but the role he played just now was obviously more than just the surface combat power.
It's the same for Porto, don't look at the back line without really top stars, but everyone's enthusiasm and team spirit, especially blood, are not low.
Barcelona still wanted to launch a counterattack, but seeing how Arsenal passed and ran Porto, they felt relaxed against Barcelona today?
That's right, they didn't really feel any pressure!
The frequency of these people's passing and receiving of the ball, especially the ability to handle the ball after taking the ball, is obviously far worse than Arsenal, including the purpose of the attack is not strong enough, and they have not mobilized Porto's defense for a long time, so naturally they have not opened any gaps.
"Awesome, there is no boss!"
Zhang Desheng immediately saw that Xavi would not be the future midfield commander, and the team's tactics were not centered on him, but to attack on two wings.
But the problem lies in these two wings, and Barcelona's wings are really not a threat!
Even if these two people break through with the ball slowly, the speed of the ball is also slow, especially Riquelme obviously does not adapt to the rhythm of the wing, it seems that he can't even run a little bit, and he always stops and doesn't know how to move on to the next step.
But that's not the biggest problem, as Louis van Gaal took over Barcelona in the summer and insisted on playing in positions he was not good at.
This is not only the case with Riquelme, everyone is a little bit unsure of how to play, football always has a pause at the feet of different people, and it is rare to see Arsenal's continuous and smooth kicking the ball, and fast running without the ball.
Can you imagine what kind of threat this poses to Porto's defence?
As a result, everyone found that Porto had only played for less than ten minutes, and they actually began to press forward as a whole.
Mourinho was also very sore at this time, he knew that Barcelona was more delicious now, but he didn't expect it to be so dish.
So it's all like this, that's still a fart, hurry up and drive the bus away, and turn around and bump into it directly!
In the 10th minute of the first half, Riquelme, who had been unable to integrate into Barcelona's tactical system, received a pass from Riquelme, who had been living on the side.
Then, he took the ball and tried to observe it, but when he stopped, he found that two Porto players were quickly pressuring him.
He was a little less confident on the flanks and hurriedly passed back to his team-mates.
But this pass didn't matter, Porto's defense pressed forward directly as a whole.
This is Mourinho's on-the-spot instructions from the sidelines, he asked Porto's midfielders to find a way to press the Barcelona players who have the ball, and as long as the opponent passes back, then press forward as a whole.
This shows that Barcelona actually lack fast passing and receiving coordination, as well as running without the ball.
Also, there's a big bomb on the backline!
Are you sure you're not here to deliver food?
Zhang Desheng, the striker, just cooperated with his teammates to force Riquelme, and turned his head to run towards Philip, who was very unsuitable for this intensity.
Philip is also considered to have fallen blood mold, he hasn't started for too long, and he let him play in the Champions League group stage as soon as he comes up today, and his feet are really weak after coming up!
At this time, I saw a handsome guy running towards him, but Riquelme's pass was a little light, and he kicked the ball in a nervous way.
Zhang Desheng was overjoyed in his heart, almost a flying kicking action, directly intercepting the ball from the air.
Philip looked frightened and inexplicable, and hurriedly stepped forward to fight back, but unfortunately his reaction was too slow.
Zhang Desheng immediately rushed to the landing point of the football after landing, and then turned around and passed the ball with the outside of his foot near the right side, and unexpectedly turned the ball out of a banana-like arc and moved it to Maniche on the left in a wide area.
"Pretty, genius!"
Maniche unloaded the football on the run, and while praising Zhang Desheng's masterful transfer of the ball, he took the opportunity to dribble into the penalty area.
Dutch full-back Michel Reziger is known for his speed, but with his 30th birthday approaching, it will be clear that he will not be able to keep up with the strong and fast Maniche.
Maniche dribbled into the box and attracted tons of defenders, and then sent the ball into the small box without greed.
This time, Jankauskars didn't miss a chance and scored with ease with a push from inside the six-yard box.
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
"Jan Kauskas!"
"Five-time Lithuanian Footballer of the Year!"
"He broke the door for Barcelona at Camp Nou!"
“……”
At this time, Porto's commentator was naturally congratulating Jankauskas on his goal, but the happiest one was Zhang Desheng, who didn't even have an assist.
"Haha, this goal is obviously my biggest credit, what if I don't score a goal or an assist, no matter what the rating of any media now, it will definitely add a wave of big points to me!"
Zhang Desheng knows very well that today's task is not to score goals or assists, but how to get high scores!
He's going to be the highest-rated man on the field today!
"Barça, Barça, Barça!"
"Players, fans!"
"Together we are strong!"
“……”
While the Porto players were celebrating their goals, the Camp Nou's originally somewhat dumb momentum suddenly became loud again under this chorus.
Fans of the home team want to boost the morale of the team in this way, and one goal down will definitely not defeat the great Barcelona!
Porto also gave respect, everyone first contracted and stabilized their positions after scoring a goal, and saw if the opposite side would be attacked by them because they were in a hurry to equalize.
Not to mention this, Van Gaal really doesn't think it's good.
Although Porto has shrunk their formation, the Portuguese's fast and concise backcourt passes are basically handled with two feet, and even in the midfield and backfield, one can often be seen.
However, Barcelona's forward pressure is obviously not strong enough, and the coordination with each other is also a lot worse.
The result was not only unable to press Porto's midfield pass, but even when the pressure was not enough, Carvalho directly penetrated boldly forward and actually passed the ball between several Barcelona players.
Defender Costinha didn't take the ball, and passed the ball to Deco as soon as he passed the classic two-foot ball treatment.
Deco is under more pressure after getting the ball, and the Barcelona players are now using a multi-pack defense against him.
So Deco didn't take the ball much, and immediately gave the ball to Zhang Desheng, who responded, and then quickly inserted himself into the small blank space in front of him.
"Boy, can you pass it on?"
After Deco passed the ball, he wasn't sure if Zhang Desheng could see this opportunity, but the result was that his idea had not yet fallen, and the football was kicked by Zhang Desheng and accurately sent to the small empty space in front of him.
"Not good!"
The Barcelona players immediately knew that something was wrong, and for a while they rushed towards Deco again, and the entire defensive formation had been moved.
But they didn't see Zhang Desheng pass the ball, and also quickly inserted it in the small space left by Xavi, Gezka, Riquelme, and Sorin.
Deco saw it too, and after he rushed to the outside of Barcelona's penalty area with the ball, he immediately distributed the ball to the right side of the run.
Zhang Desheng was accelerating with all his might at this time, receiving the football and inserting it along the right penalty line, and then picked the ball to the back of the small penalty area under the frightened gaze of a group of Barcelona players.
Maniche arrived at this time, and he didn't stop the ball and just volleyed!
Then, he hit the ball on the sidenetting!
“FXXk! My God! ”
Maniche didn't know if it was even cursed by God, but the Portuguese, who missed a great chance to score, would have fallen to his knees hammering the turf.
“nice try”
Zhang Desheng didn't see any regret at all, and even took the initiative to run over and help Maniche up, which really moved the Portuguese who liked to scold.
"Cao Nima's, it doesn't matter if you score or not, Lao Tzu's rating is higher now!"
At this time, Zhang Gongzi, who was deeply moved by Maniche, was still happy for the increase in his rating, and he didn't know that his wonderful performance had attracted sharp comments from a certain little guy.
"Is he only 17 years old? Just 2 years older than me? At this time, the immature Messi looked at Zhang Desheng, who had created two excellent opportunities in ten minutes, and finally commented very seriously, "He is amazing!" ”
