Chapter 173: Stepping Stones!

Ferdinand, England's No. 1 defender, will actually have the ability to do so, if it weren't for Zhang Gongzi today, his initial combat power would still be above 90.

So strictly speaking, this is the second time that his combat power has declined today.

Zhang Gongzi has not appeared yet, and he scared the opponent's most solid defensive warrior half to death!

But there is no way, many competitive sports have this kind of rivalry and bitterness, as well as phobia.

This phenomenon is often caused by psychological shadows, and if it encounters excessive pressure, political factors, and style restraint, that side will even become a "star slave" after losing consecutive battles.

Zhang Gongzi is not very old, but there are already a lot of star slaves.

The most annoying thing is that if he hadn't really met, he might have forgotten about the bitter master.

Ferdinand is such a forgotten unlucky guy, and as soon as Zhang Gongzi saw this unlucky name, his combat power rose from 92 to 93 after the opening, and the effect was almost the same as after drawing a sword.

At this time, Zhang Gongzi's specific attributes have naturally improved a lot compared with the beginning of the season, especially in terms of physical aspect, which has begun to enter a period of rapid explosion, which will also make his various values enter a period of rapid leap again (specifically put at the end).

Zhang Desheng himself was a little afraid of such a speed of progress, and he even guessed that he would not encounter any shackles if he broke through all the way to the middle of the 9th series, right?

This is also a bit annoying to say, after his combat power rose to 89, he has been waiting for the day when he is stuck.

But the outrageous thing is that he has never encountered a level that is difficult to break through, whether it is a small realm or a large realm, it is basically as easy as piercing through a layer of window paper.

He simply didn't understand how it took Deco two and a half years to break through from 89 to 90, is there anything so rare about that?

However, in such a contest of strength and weakness, after the opening game today, it was Manchester United who almost broke the goal.

The matter of defense, it must have nothing to do with Zhang Gongzi, this pot must be carried by Xiao Luo.

His defence down the middle was directly broken down by Paul Scholes, and then a pass that allowed Puyol's interception to be missed.

It was also a serious mistake, as the duo's back-to-back blanket caused Rooney to be in a state of solitude after getting the ball, and he even had time to adjust before shooting.

This has to say that Rooney was still a little rough at the critical moment, and he probably didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, and the huge pressure and nervousness made it difficult for him to become more and more calm at the critical moment like Zhang Gongzi.

Therefore, Rooney, who was afraid of missing the opportunity, did not dare to take the ball to adjust at all, let alone take the ball to continue deeper, and shot directly outside the penalty area!

This choice is very stupid, and the best thing is that Rooney, who is also average in marksmanship, can't even bother to observe Valdés' position in extreme nervousness.

It's a bit of a crime, and the result is that the ball has a lot of power, but the angle of the shot is too positive.

Valdés, as a nerve knife with a low ceiling and a high ceiling, is the best at saving this kind of quick and rough shot, and he does use his body reaction to reach 95 in an instant to block the football fists!

Oleg stuck Cristiano Ronaldo, who still wanted to make up for the shot, and kicked the football out of the sideline.

"There is a future, at this time, I can calmly predict the card position and kick the ball out of the sideline, not the bottom line!"

Zhang Gongzi first praised Oleg, who was getting better and better, and the handling of this ball was really bold and careful, and he was exceptionally calm.

"Bastard, let you kick the back and make a fuss, right?"

Zhang Gongzi turned his head and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Luo's defense this time, and almost went up to put pressure directly.

But Xiao Luo's ball is really not a bad swing, but the rhythm of the game that has not yet entered a new position after the opening.

Barcelona asked him to play in the back, and Xiao Luo naturally resisted in his heart.

But he really didn't mess up, but tried his best to adapt, the most aggrieved thing was that after two games, he even passed Zhang Gongzi several high-level long passes, and at the same time there was no ambiguity in the breakthrough, in fact, the effect was really good.

"Mine!"

Puyol naturally had to stand up and take the blame at this time, and his mistake on the ball was indeed fatal.

Fortunately, Valdés, who is a god and a ghost, seems to have signs of "supergod" today.

Zhang Desheng also saw that his combat power immediately rose to 88 after saving this ball!

But honestly, it's thanks to Rooney's feeding!

He didn't even score that kind of goal just now, and he was actually a bit of a crime.

Such a good opportunity, if you calm down and handle the ball well, then Valdés, who conceded a goal at the beginning, will go to the "super ghost" if he doesn't do it, and the result is really hard to say at that time.

But Manchester United's ability to grasp opportunities is obviously very poor, and they only need to feed one or two more of these balls to Valdés, then the power of this nerve knife will not be able to surpass Casillas at this time.

This is no joke, Valdés is a nerve knife goalkeeper who is not inferior to Casillas at the ceiling, but much lower than the bottom.

Of course, there are not many times that he can really reach the upper limit, but there are many times he has touched the lower limit, and this is the real gap between him and Casillas!

But today, Valdés' chance to become famous in a fight is probably coming!

In the 5th minute of the first half, Barcelona fell back and forth in the midfield, and after a group of people grinding and chirping for a long time, Xiao Luo's pass was wonderful, Xavi's ball turned and broke through suddenly, but it was destroyed under the brutal collision of Manchester United players.

The referee didn't give a foul and the United fans immediately cheered loudly and laughed loudly at Xavi, who was pushed down.

However, less than 20 seconds later, Ronaldo's slightly hasty long-range shot from 30 meters out kicked the cheers away.

Although he successfully pressed the ball down with his long-range shot this time, unless this kind of ball can shoot a weird arc or a world wave with a tricky angle, it can really only feed the opposite goalkeeper!

Valdés flew directly to take the ball this time, and didn't even give a chance to make up shots.

"Just keep shooting like this!"

Zhang Desheng hopes that Manchester United will have more long-range shots like this, because there is really no threat at all!

Valdés is not awesome in his eyes, that is compared with top goalkeepers such as Casillas and Cech, in fact, he is also a qualified goalkeeper.

Ferguson's face was a little ugly, and he kept teaching the two little guys that if the opposing goalkeeper is outstanding, then try a long-range shot after the opening to see how the opponent is doing.

If the opponent's goalkeeper is in good shape, then don't shoot from a distance easily, because that can only make the opponent's state better and better, and in the end, even a single knife will be saved.

But a few minutes later, Scholes was also smothered from outside the box.

Needless to say, the result of this kind of shooting is actually extremely rare, and the reality is that most of the long-range shots from 25 meters away are either deflected or helping the opposing goalkeeper improve his form.

In the 9th minute of the first half, after Barcelona got the ball back, they still reversed the ball back and forth in the midfield to look for opportunities, and they actually played in no hurry at all.

At this time, the football came to Xiao Luo's feet again, Keane's expression was very serious, he knew too well how powerful this Brazilian elf was, even if the opponent played the back position, he followed him to death.

Xiao Luo really showed off in any position, and in the face of Keane's close defense, he stepped on the bicycle directly, very presumptuous!

Keane's brow furrowed at this, and his brain told him that there was a flaw in the ball, and he could have broken it with his foot.

However, when he actually made a move, he immediately found that things were not so simple.

Ronaldo's seemingly flawed possession actually readjusted with quick reflexes to take the lead, and then quickly completed the breakthrough with a rhythm that Keane couldn't keep up with.

This is essentially similar to Zhang Gongzi's deliberate kicking of the ball to the position of five or five to lure the opponent to grab the ball when his hard power was insufficient.

But Zhang Gongzi did it deliberately, and now there is no need to use it.

Xiao Luo, however, has been passively forming this weird and unique style because of his lack of accuracy in ball control.

However, with the current top-level explosiveness and physical reaction, coupled with the historic ball sense, after seeing Xiao Luo's convulsive pause on the spot, he was stunned and ate Keane in front of him.

"Good shot!"

Zhang Gongzi is not applauding his convulsive breakthrough, he actually looks down on Xiao Luo's breakthrough that relies too much on explosiveness and ball sense.

He applauded this time because after this guy broke through, he actually saw the vacancy in Manchester United's backline, and directly passed a ball more than 40 meters away, which penetrated Manchester United's backline.

Zhang Gongzi accelerated with all his strength at this time, but soon scolded in his heart!

Ronaldo's ball was obviously overcome, and even if his explosiveness and speed had entered the double 90 ranks, it was obvious that it was impossible to get the ball in front of the attacking Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll.

"Poof!"

But he ignored the fact that it had been raining in Manchester for the past few days, even if it was still a little drizzle.

The overall quality of the Dream Theater, which has not been recut for half a year after the long rainy season, is no longer very good, although there are not too obvious large areas of stagnant water, but small blisters are already everywhere.

This "poof" is that the football fell on a small blister, so the football that should have rebounded violently only bounced less than two meters high, and the speed of the rebound was suddenly reduced by more than half.

This accident made Carol, who originally had the corners of his mouth upturned, and his face was instantly deformed due to fright, and with his unattractive facial features, he looked really ugly and funny at the moment!

Zhang Gongzi smiled slightly, and continued to rush to the front of the football at high speed, and without stopping the ball, he was a clever pick of the football in the face of the rebound.

Then I saw Carol, who had already attacked at high speed and rushed to the outside of the penalty area, and even his facial features became distorted at this moment.

This is not to blame him for his gaffe, but Zhang Gongzi's chic pick, the football flew high above Carol's head, drawing a flat C-shaped arc and falling directly to the goal.

This has to mention the details of Zhang Gongzi's shooting, he was worried that there was a small blister in the opponent's penalty area when he picked the shot just now, so he directly added a little strength to let the football fall directly into the goal, instead of rebounding and then rolling into the goal.

Don't look at this doesn't seem to make much difference, in fact, this kind of shooting after high-speed running, not only to make the ball draw an arc that Carroll can't touch, but also to ensure that it can fall directly into the goal, the overall difficulty is more than twice as high as letting the football bounce into the goal, because a slight flaw in the foot may kick the ball away, or can't kick a perfect enough arc to be intercepted by Carroll.

But Zhang Gongzi, whose shooting attribute has reached 94, looks around the entire football world, and few people are stronger than him in the "archery".

This has to be mentioned, such as "shooting", "ball control", "speed" and other subdivided "attributes", in fact, are also divided into large and small realms, so "94" is not easy for him to break through, he is actually the most superb player in the Barcelona team.

Carol turned around and rushed to his door, but a series of urgent movements made it difficult for him to keep his body balanced, and he immediately turned into a rolling and crawling embarrassment without stepping on his feet.

The most embarrassing thing is that he has this virtue, and in the end he can only watch the football fall gracefully into the goal!

"Damn, is that also in his calculations?"

After Zhang Desheng confirmed that the football fell into the goal, he turned around and stepped on the small blister that the football had just hit, and this small area was indeed a problem because of the water sowing for several days.

But if this can be predicted in advance, he can't believe it!

Xiao Luo didn't know what was going on at this time, but this didn't prevent him from immediately raising his hands high and making a gesture that he thought was very handsome!

"Okay, I'll give you a credit!"

Zhang Desheng also raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Luo at this time, which means - "You pass the ball well, awesome"!

Then, he saw that the Manchester United players displayed on the system had dropped again, and Carroll, who had dropped to 80, was undoubtedly the most conspicuous one.

Who made him the most vegetable one, and now he is on the verge of dropping to 80.

In this case, Zhang Desheng naturally chose to increase his long-range shots.

But then it was Manchester United who launched a series of onslaught and scored two long-range shots in quick succession.

After all, this is someone's home field, so although the overall strength of Manchester United has declined sharply, but at the moment, under the attack of a little annoyance, Barcelona can only temporarily avoid the edge, after all, they still have the bonus of the home whistle.

Barcelona's backup defender Oleg should also take credit for this defensive time.

When he was first brought in to put out the fires in the first few games, he made major mistakes in positioning and defense in almost every game.

But this kid is calm and calm in character, and he is also very strong in resisting pressure.

Many talented defenders are sprayed too badly because they make mistakes in the giants, and as a result, the more they play, the less confident they become, and the worse they play.

The French defender Philippe, who Barcelona bought at a high price, is a typical example, his talent is actually better than Oleg, because of the pressure and mentality, not only did he suffer Waterloo at the big clubs, but even after leaving, he could not find the form he had when he was at Monaco.

But Oleg's ability to resist pressure is obviously strong, so after three or four games, he gradually adapted to the rhythm of the starter, and it was better than one game to the naked eye.

Today, his performance was very good, whether it was against Cristiano Ronaldo or Rooney, he seemed to be at ease, and he did not panic at all!

Of course, it was Valdés who was the most awesome on the defensive end today.

Manchester United's attack is not small, but in fact, there are very few pleasant face-to-face combinations, let alone small-range pass-and-control combinations like Barcelona.

Under the defense of Barcelona, they can't play a decent positional battle at all, and they can basically only pour the ball meaninglessly from 30 meters away, neither breaking in, nor passing in, and finally either shoot directly from a distance, or return to the traditional style of play of the England and Chinese teams - "fill in the blanks"!

However, whether it is a long-range shot or a cross from the wing, Valdés will defuse the incoming threat one by one!

When his combat power reached the 30th minute, he even rose directly to 89, and he actually began to impact the 8 series Great Perfection realm.

"The Chinese team and the British Lan team are really the most suitable stepping stones for breakthroughs!"

Zhang Gongzi saw that Valdés and Oliveira at this time began to hit the 89 Great Perfection realm, and even Iniesta exploded his combat power to 88, and he couldn't help but think of the Chinese team that stars all over Asia were eager to meet!
