Chapter 192: Maradona!

After Barcelona gave Liverpool a blow at the beginning, Zhang Desheng could already see from the system that the real-time combat power of Liverpool players had decreased by different degrees.

But it's not without exception, Gerrard is still stable at 90.

"It's just your head!"

Zhang Gongzi can't see the opponent's toughness, he eats soft and not hard!

After the resumption of the game, it was natural for the Liverpool players to pull a goal back quickly.

Steven Gerrard led the charge, which made Liverpool's attack look impactful.

The Barcelona fans at the scene, as well as the Chinese fans, couldn't help but sweat for the side they supported

Rijkaard, however, was not nervous as it was about the same momentum as Liverpool's semi-final win over AC Milan.

Liverpool today are even tactically similar to the previous reversal of AC Milan, mainly through long balls and low crosses, using their height advantage to fight for the ball to form a header, or to use their physical advantage to form a long-range shot in a melee.

But the problem is that if you use the trick once, it won't work so well if you use it again, unless your opponent has a grade gap with you.

Barcelona used a top-defence strategy today, automatically changing the formation from 4-3-3 to 4-5-1 in defence, while leaving a maximum of two counter-attacking points up front.

This kind of defensive tactics that learned the lessons of AC Milan and arranged them in a targeted manner naturally made Liverpool, who were planning to fight for their lives, a little unable to rush.

This is because Alvarez and Puyol are very good at top defense, interceptions and tackles, although their height is weak, but they do not suffer from speed and confrontation, and at the same time, they are very good at predicting the path of the ball, and they are actually very good at defending in this kind of chaotic battle.

Therefore, Liverpool's frequent long passes of high balls, a large number of long-range shots outside the penalty area, or the reckless play of dribbling the ball on the side were mostly pushed back by Barcelona who had been prepared for a long time with more active defense on the defensive end.

Of course, they are still inferior to AC Milan in positional battles, especially in frontal and high-altitude defense.

Liverpool's high-altitude attacks will still have some threats, but to be a threat in the air, they will have to be closer to the box, especially the tall midfielders of Steven Gerrard and Hamann.

This is another scene that Barcelona would like to see, because if Liverpool are to attack their penalty area regardless of the risk behind them, there will be plenty of space left for their own fronts to counter-attack.

So as soon as the benefits and risks are weighed, Barcelona feels that they can bet on it!

At this time, Benitez, who was a little unable to sit still on the sidelines, naturally sensed the danger.

After scoring the goal, Barcelona originally played possession for five minutes and had a certain advantage.

This lineup, consisting of Spaniards and Brazilians, as well as a monster, undoubtedly defeated Liverpool technically at their feet, and they also had a very tacit understanding in cooperation, especially the extremely active Xiao Luo and Zhang Gongzi, who had no good way to deal with it.

But the strange thing is that after Barcelona played possession tactics for a few minutes, they actually deliberately shrunk the line, which is obviously luring them to attack.

What are Barcelona's intentions, Benitez naturally does not know.

But he didn't have much to do, because his team fell behind in the opening ten seconds.

Therefore, this trap will be dangerous if you step on it, but if you don't step on it, you will definitely burp!

After 15 minutes of the first half, Benitez saw that left-back Riser couldn't help but attack, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

However, the sudden insertion of the full-backs did make Barcelona's defence a little overwhelmed, and the Norwegian managed to get the ball into the box.

However, there were too many people in the box at this moment, and Motta grabbed the ball in front of Gerrard, and his height of nearly 190cm finally played its due role at this moment.

"Not good!"

Benitez exclaimed directly, because it was Xiao Luo, the current world second man, who got the football.

Today, Barcelona played all the offense and defense, and only two people were left in the front court when defending, they were Zhang Gongzi and Jiuli.

Ronaldo's task is to create opportunities for these two on the counter-attack, and he is indeed well suited for the job.

This time, I saw that the Brazilian elf did not use his chest to stop the ball in the face of the incoming ball, but lowered his head and rubbed the ball back, the whole action was called a weird!

But...... Is this a stopover?

Germany's midfielder Hamann was Liverpool's only midfielder who was dragging his back, but he could never have imagined that Ronaldo would use such a bizarre move to catch the ball.

The most outrageous thing is this rub, which just happened to rub the ball in the direction that Hamann was most difficult to deal with.

After that, everyone saw that Xiao Luo quickly completed the turn, exerted an explosive power far superior to Hamann, and slid the ball forward more than ten meters with one kick, directly passing the German, who looked extremely wooden.

What is spirituality?

This is a goal that even Zhang Gongzi couldn't think of!

"Haha, it's as easy as the World Cup!"

"This Haman is slower than he was three years ago, but his opponent is stronger than he was three years ago!"

"It's like an adult bullying a child!"

“……”

After Xiao Luo beat the former main midfielder Hamann of the German team one-on-one, it really reminded many people of the final in the 02 World Cup.

At that time, the German team was helpless with the spiritual Brazilian elf in front of them, and Hamann happened to be the main midfielder of the German team, and the two of them were not less opposed.

Now the people are still these two people, but the helpless team has become Liverpool.

After Ronaldo broke through Haman, there were only three defenders left in front of him.

But what's worse is that these three people not only have to deal with Xiao Luo, they also have to defend Jiuli, and the 9 who looks even more awesome than the 9 in 02!

"It's over!"

Many Liverpool fans at the scene were already so frightened that they covered their eyes!

This kind of three-on-three counterattack, even if it is a team that is one gear behind, will be very dangerous, not to mention that the most rookie of the attackers at this time is the main striker of the French team.

As long as Zhang Gongzi and Jiuli are not in a hurry to speed up, but slowly adjust their direction and speed according to the direction and speed of Xiao Luo's breakthrough, they know that the initiative has completely fallen into the hands of Barcelona.

"It's moving!"

Xiao Luo ran at high speed with the ball all the way, and soon hit the danger zone of 40 meters in front of the goal, at which time Jiuli and Zhang Desheng accelerated and sprinted in different directions almost at the same time.

Hyypia and Finnan have been on the lookout for it, but the problem is that in this extremely unfavorable situation, they are too passive as a defender and can only passively wait for the opponent to attack first.

This makes them destined to be slower, and Zhang Desheng and Jiuli are both explosive forwards, even if they are faster, they may not be able to keep up, and if they are slow, they are destined to be rid of in an instant.

But the worst thing is that Carragher, who divided his troops to stop Xiao Luo, has already been broken through first!

Zhang Gongzi and Jiuli only gave it to him in vain when they saw Carragher, and they would immediately accelerate and insert themselves into the forbidden area.

At this moment, Barcelona has formed a 3v2 situation!

As long as Xiao Luo passes the ball immediately, then both of them have a chance to form a single knife.

But Xiao Luo didn't pass it, because it was already 1:0 at this time, and he wanted to show it himself.

There is nothing wrong with this choice, after all, it is an opportunity that he has created himself.

Therefore, after Zhang Gongzi and Jiuli saw that Xiao Luo did not pass, they were soon in an offside position, and immediately stopped and ran backwards, and at the same time pulled the only two defenders to the side.

Hyypia and Finnan were two big heads at this time, because they didn't keep up, and the little Luo burst into the penalty area and any point was a one-on-one goal.

But if you keep up with these two people, the goalkeeper Dudek will be sold directly by them.

"Follow!"

"Don't follow!"

At this time, Finnan and Hyypia made very different choices, one of them chose to keep up with Jiuli, and the other chose to let Zhang Desheng go.

"Haha!"

“FxxK!”

Zhang Gongzi laughed and peed at this time, and Xiao Luo was naturally angry!

But no matter how angry they are, there is no way, because they are all professional players, just like Zhang Desheng and Jiuli just saw that he didn't pass the ball immediately, and immediately turned to help him pull the defenders away.

Therefore, no matter how angry Xiao Luo is at this moment, he can only pass the ball.

At this time, if he still does it himself, then he is not the second person in the world.

And with his pass, Zhang Gongzi formed a single knife in the penalty area.

At this time, in front of him, only Dudek was left in a hurry.

At this time, Zhang Gongzi, who was skilled in archery, was not in a hurry, and hit the position that Dudek stepped on the second before he was striding with a kick.

Dudek's pupils dilated unconsciously at this moment, because the ball rolled less than half a meter beside him.

But he was stunned because his body's center of gravity had just moved, and he could only watch the football roll past where he had taken the previous step.

Such a shot is too desperate for him!

He's watching a football roll past him and not doing anything!

What's the difference between this and a loved one being killed by a villain in front of him?

"The ball is in!"

"The score is 2:0!" ”

"It's the king of Barcelona who scores the goal again - Zhang De Win!"

"In the 16th minute of the first half, he once again struck a fatal blow at Liverpool!"

"This time, he sent Liverpool straight into the ICU!"

“……”

The Spanish commentary was as passionate as ever, but Zhang Gongzi's goal looked a bit unremarkable.

Many fans who have not watched the game for a long time even feel that it is too risky, because the goalkeeper can block the ball with a stretch of his leg!?

But those who know the ball know that this ball is actually extremely difficult, and it is a real coincidence!

Because, this kind of shooting with a time difference requires strong self-confidence, unparalleled calmness, and a top-level reaction with quick eyes and feet, otherwise it will be Zhang Gongzi who shoots the goal.

Of course, you have to be good enough to shoot at the end, otherwise a little miss is another story.

So, it looks like an unpretentious one-handed push, but there are no more than one hand in the world of active players who can replicate the same position.

Don't forget, this is the Champions League final!

On this kind of big stage, I don't know how many first-class stars are easy to miss even penalty kicks, and even half-empty goals can be missed!

It is estimated that Ronaldo will come over to replace Zhang Gongzi, it will have to be Da Luo 04 years ago, this season's Da Luo is afraid that it will be difficult to even get rid of Hypia, the big man's feet are not as slow as people think, he just met Zhang Gongzi who is fast and flexible.

"Damn! He pretended to be it again! ”

After Xiao Luo saw Zhang Gongzi score a goal on the side, he was really envious and jealous, and at the same time secretly hated Hyypia, the old bastard!

Why did you let go of Zhang Desheng to make up for yourself?

Why can't you just defend him?

Do you have a grudge against me?

However, he also admitted that he would shoot instead, although he was confident that he could score, but he was definitely not as sure as Zhang Gongzi and so easy!

The entire Brazilian team, it is estimated that Da Luo has this feeling of probing when shooting.

Thinking about it like this, Xiao Luo could only sigh lightly, and then went up to celebrate with a smile.

Zhang Gongzi had just finished his "bending bow and shooting eagle" action at this time, which is also the celebratory action he is used to after scoring two goals.

In this regard, he is also slowly a little formulaic - scoring the first goal, most of them are "Dapeng spreading their wings", after scoring the second goal, most of them are "bending the bow and shooting the eagle", of course, after completing the hat trick, he has a bit more tricks......

And now, he has only scored a brace in the 16th minute of the first half.

Obviously, he will have a great chance to celebrate today and enter the third stage that everyone loves to see!

Benitez smiled wryly from the sidelines, having expected this to happen when he launched the onslaught.

This kind of life-fighting style of play, once you can't attack, you will backfire yourself.

But is there any other way?

They are already at an absolute disadvantage!

Fight for your life, there is still a little chance, otherwise you will be waiting for death slowly!

The most injured man today was the active No. 1 man, who scored in the opening ten seconds.

Otherwise, they may not be able to spell out a chance!

But now it's 0:2, how do you play now?

At this moment, Benitez really wanted to have a table in front of him, because he really wanted to lift the table and stop playing!

"Boss, this is too easy!"

"yes, it's been less than twenty minutes!"

"Guys, is this the Champions League final? How do I feel that it is easier than the group stage? ”

“……”

Zhang Desheng was originally quite happy after scoring the goal, but as soon as he heard these compliments from his teammates, his expression immediately became solemn.

"Forget it, those guys have come all the way to the finals, so we have to be careful, they made it all the way to the final." Zhang Desheng felt that he had to ring the alarm bell for everyone, "Also, the bold statement I released to the world yesterday is that no matter how much advantage we have today, no matter how far we lead, we must still show the posture of a lion fighting a rabbit...... So, let's go ahead and give it our all, and I'll do my best to make the ball for you! ”

Zhang Gongzi's words are really Liverpool's life, this is really not to give a chance to reverse!

He is a man of his own words in Barcelona at this time, not to mention that his words are so exaggerated, it is also a mountain of orders!

So as soon as these words came out, it was impossible for Barcelona's players to relax anymore.

Besides, his sentence "I will do my best to make balls for you" made these people full of strength.

This is the Champions League final!

Which of them doesn't want to score a goal?

Now, isn't that the opportunity?

Therefore, something happened that made it difficult for Liverpool players to adapt - after Barcelona scored, they began to pull out and attack!

This really caught the Liverpool players by surprise, because after being led in the past, most of the opponents contracted their defenses and began to play defensive counter-attacks.

There are even some teams, such as AC Milan, who have started to look no further than AC Milan after taking a big lead.

But after Barcelona led by two goals today, not only did they attack more fiercely, but they were still very active and intense defensively.

Therefore, Liverpool, who fell behind by two goals early and was already low in morale for a while, was pressed in their own half after the restart, and it was difficult to counterattack.

"Damn, I won't let you relax, but I don't let you be so presumptuous!"

But this situation is not Zhang Gongzi's order, but after the Barcelona players were stimulated, coupled with the good situation of leading by two goals, it was a bit of a kick.

Zhang Desheng naturally won't let the team continue to play like this, seeing that this group of Liverpool's top iron buddies were held down and hammered for more than ten minutes, they actually began to slowly adapt to the rhythm of this onslaught, and even began to brew a counterattack, he directly incarnated as the coach on the field and gave orders: "Let's take it back and let them attack!" ”

He felt that if he failed to break the defense after ten minutes of onslaught, it was not appropriate to use the old move.

At this point, they should switch to a high-pressure possession version of the defensive counterattack as they did just now, otherwise their butts will get colder and colder.

"Hell!"

Benitez is really starting to scratch his head now!

After he saw Barcelona obviously playing high, he thought that as long as he resisted this wave of attacks, the opportunity for the team to counterattack would come.

But who would have thought that Liverpool was just about to start organizing a counterattack, and Barcelona immediately took it back after playing a set.

What does that mean?

Are you going to take advantage of it and leave?

Then you're invincible!

Benitez has never seen such a team that advances and retreats so freely, and doesn't give it a chance at all?

But don't say that Benitez is stupid in this scene in front of him, Rijkaard has some black question marks?

Of course, he didn't approve of the onslaught just now, regardless of what was behind him!

But the problem is, he hasn't given the order to collect it in the future, why did the team take it back on its own initiative? Is the ability to self-adjust so strong?

What Zhang Gongzi didn't know was that his order as the coach on the field not only made the two managers speechless, but also interrupted the rhythm of the Liverpool players again.

These Liverpool players really have a kind of being rushed up and beaten up, just when they covered their heads for a long time and tried to find a chance to fight back, they ran straight home and closed the door, not giving you a chance to take revenge at all.

This even made Liverpool's players a little bit unable to play, because they couldn't find their rhythm at all, and even their mentality began to go wrong.

However, the mentality of the Barcelona players is very good...... Their thinking is also unusually clear......

The most terrifying thing is that they agree with Zhang Gongzi's order very much, and they carry it out resolutely and quickly.

That's a bit invincible indeed!

At this time, Liverpool, whose state and mentality have been suppressed, will not be able to penetrate Barcelona's defense even if they attack, and they will not even take advantage of high-altitude balls.

This is the benefit of controlling the rhythm on the field, and the true value of a field commander who can command like a mountain!

No matter how many black tricks Zhang Gongzi used to get to this status, he can now twist the team into a rope!

His words, the whole team will implement them!

At this time, Liverpool couldn't attack, but Barcelona's offense and defense were getting better and better.

Although they are playing with shrinking defense, they are not afraid to attack when they get the ball back, otherwise what is it called all-attack and all-defense!

And once Barcelona attacked, Liverpool's defense was a bit unbearable.

At this time, Barcelona's players not only have clear ideas, but also cooperate with each other more and more tacitly, everyone is playing more and more confidently, and the competitive state is naturally getting better and better.

As a result, many unexpected combinations, passes, and individual breakthroughs for Liverpool players have appeared more and more in Barcelona's attack.

In the 40th minute of the first half, after the Barcelona midfielder made a series of kicks, Xavi took the ball with his back in the midfield, and suddenly got rid of the marker with a beautiful turn, and then found Zhang Desheng with an accurate left-footed pass in the middle line.

Zhang Desheng took the ball with his back and knocked it skillfully, Carragher behind him didn't even see the ball, and Xiao Luo had already gotten rid of Smitchell and Finnan to receive this divine pass.

Ronaldo was not greedy at this time, he actually had a chance to shoot after bursting into the box on the left side of the box with the ball, but still crossed the ball to the back post.

At this time, Gyuli, who also got rid of Riese's defense, volleyed with his right foot in front of the pass, Dudek, who was already dizzy in front of the goal, could not save, but unfortunately the football was slightly wide and shot at the side netting.

"Phew, that's it, it's France's second striker, I'll be in if I change it!"

Zhang Gongzi shouted a good ball at Jiuli with a thumbs up, and scolded in his heart.

At this time, looking at Liverpool's players, they are basically all in a green state, and even Gerrard has dropped from 90 to 88 points.

Obviously, even Liverpool's top captain needs a halftime break to adjust his mentality and state at this time!

But will they still have this opportunity!

The referee only gave two minutes of stoppage time before the end of regular time in the first half.

Liverpool's players were out of the question, as Barcelona had been in possession for almost two minutes in a row.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Maniche fired a 30-meter shot into the right side of the goal like a cannonball.

This time Dudek flew to the left to seal the ball off the line, but the ball remained in Barcelona's control.

Xavi takes a corner and Hyypia relies on his height to head it off.

But a scene that was unexpected by everyone appeared, only to see Zhang Gongzi, who jumped up next to Hyypia slowly, as if he had tied a spring, and when he jumped to the highest point, he exceeded the height of a head of Hyypia, who was 195cm tall!

All the photographers on the scene went crazy at this moment and pressed the shutter one after another to record this classic scene!

And at this moment, Zhang Gongzi, in addition to being a head taller than the tallest Hyypia in the audience, his knees were actually the same as Mota, who was 187cm tall in the same frame.

But this is not the most outrageous thing, the most outrageous thing is that Zhang Gongzi also carried out an ultra-long stay in the air, because just when Hyypia was obviously falling, Zhang Gongzi shook his head and hit the falling football.

Obviously, Hyypia's prediction was wrong!

But even if he jumps with Zhang Gongzi, the ball will not change much.

Dudek in front of the goal was already a little stupefied like Hyypia at this time, and his reaction was a beat slower than usual.

But no matter how fast he reacts, it is useless, because Zhang Gongzi's header is in the small penalty area, and he has a very tricky angle, and the ball speed is amazingly fast.

In this case, he can't save the ball unless he is the Flash.

"The ball is in!"

"It's Zhang again!"

"This Chinese must be able to fly!"

"I bet Maradona, even if he jumped up and raised his hand, he wouldn't have been able to reach the ball on Zhang's head!"

"It's 3 to 0!"

"I believe that the British must be very envious of the Chinese team at this time!"
