Chapter 686 One-on-one Trident (Part 2)
Benitez is preparing to adjust during the intermission, but for these geniuses at Barcelona, 5 minutes can solve many problems.
Barcelona, with a strong morale, play more and more smoothly. Each attack will have six or seven consecutive passes. Although it does not create several shots, it is just because Barcelona does not like long shots and passes high balls. Once they get a chance to shoot in the penalty area, Liverpool will be in danger.
In the minute of the game, Barcelona midfielder Iniesta dribbled the ball and assisted, Etoho, Ronaldinho and Messi stepped forward at high speed, and Barcelona surrounded Liverpool's penalty area from the left, center and right.
Iniesta is an ordinary member of Barcelona, but his dribbling skills are no worse than superstars such as Ronaldinho. What he lacks is shooting skills. In these seasons, as an offensive midfielder, Iniesta has scored very few goals. In front of the goal, even if he gets a single shot, as long as his teammates follow, he will pass the ball out.
Seeing Iniesta dribbling the ball straight into his penalty area, Liverpool's midfielder Sissoko immediately came to intercept, and Gerrard also rushed over from one side to assist in defense, double-teaming the thin Iniesta.
Sissoko and Gerald are both very tall and tough players. With the two of them, Iniesta couldn't even see where the penalty area was clearly seen, which made people very worried that he would not only not be able to save the ball, but also may be injured.
However, Iniesta was not afraid of the strong enemy at all. He pretended to go to the left, supported his left foot and tried to the right, and then leaned his body right, touched and stroked forward with his right foot. The ball did not leave his foot, but instantly rushed out between Sissoko and Gerald.
This time, Iniesta made a coincidence. When he finally passed by, he got closer to Sissoko. Sissoko had already received a yellow card. Seeing Iniesta over, he did not dare to foul, and was worried that he would be sent off with another card, so he could only watch Iniesta go away in front of him.
After Iniesta passed Sissoko and Gerard, he successfully attracted the defender to the middle, and then quickly divided the side, allowing Ronaldinho to get the ball down or cut in.
Ronaldinho faced Liverpool's left-back Aberoa. Although Aberoa successfully restricted Ronaldinho in the first round, Ronaldinho had an absolute advantage in this round. Without the assistance of midfielder Sissoko and forward Etoho, Ronaldinho would have long broken Aberoa into a sieve.
But now the problem is that Ronaldinho can break through Aberoa, but after the breakthrough, he passed the ball into the penalty area without much use. Barcelona lacked headers and masters to grab points, so Ronaldinho did not go directly to the bottom after getting the ball from the side, but took a few steps and suddenly tangled across the penalty area.
Ronaldinho cuts inwardly in the middle of one side of the penalty area. There is no village in front and no shop behind. No one expected that Ronaldinho chose to cut inwardly in this position and distance, but Aberoa was shaken so much that he sat there.
Ronaldinho broke through and cut inside at this position, which was a bit selfish. He saw that the defense power on the right side of the penalty area was weak and soft, hoping to get a shot, but Liverpool's defense was very fast. There was no one on the right side just now. After Ronaldinho cut into the penalty area, Gerrard had arrived quickly.
Ronaldinho spiked the ball and swung over Gerald, who rushed over quickly, and shot directly without fully adjusting the center of gravity.
Such a shot obviously cannot hit the strength, but Ronaldinho has no time to adjust. If he adjusts well, his opponent may have adjusted well, and he may not even have a chance to make a foot and fall into a positional battle again.
If you encounter a goalkeeper who is no longer in shape, or Ronaldinho's shot can enter, but the situation against his old club Reina is so good that he is even suspected of burning CPHR. Ronaldinho's shot is a piece of cake for him.
Reiner fell to the ground and pressed the ball to the ground with both hands, but Reiner was not in a hurry to attack. Now that Liverpool has such a big advantage, offense is definitely not the most important thing. Controlling the ball and mastering the rhythm of the game are what Reiner wants to do the most.
Reina hugged the ball for a while, and then saw that there was no one around her, then she easily got up and passed the ball to his midfielder Alonso.
At this moment, Barcelona's high-level pressing was very fierce. As soon as Alonso got the ball, Etoo rushed over at high speed. Alonso had no room for thinking and directly passed the ball to Riser, who was closest to him.
Lisse handled the ball a little slower and was immediately surrounded by Barcelona players. Lisse had no choice but to directly drive a big foot to the frontcourt to find his forward, but the ball hit the Barcelona player again and bounced back and fell to the feet of Barcelona player Xavi.
Xavi handled the ball much faster than Riser. Such an unexpected ball bounced over, but he easily unloaded it in front of him as if he had received a pass from a teammate, and then turned around and got rid of the player who was marking the game. At the same time, the situation in the half was all over. Messi was still on the left, but Ronaldinho didn't know when he had changed positions with Etoo and was running towards the middle.
Xavi passed the ball to Ronaldinho without hesitation and quickly penetrated into Liverpool's penalty area.
Ronaldinho got the ball, and there were two fast horses on the wing, Messi and Etoo were attracting defense. He decisively dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and at the same time observed the running of his players and prepared to pass the ball at any time.
Soon, the opportunity emerged.
Liverpool ignored Iniesta who was in front of Barcelona because they focused on Barcelona's front trident.
Ronaldinho quickly passed the ball through three or four players and flew into the penalty area.
This is exactly where Iniesta cuts from the ribs.
When ordinary strikers encounter such a pass, they often volley directly. Those who seek stability can stop the ball and shoot again, but Iniesta passes the ball across the ball after stopping the ball.
Although Xavi is inserting from the ribs on the other side of the penalty area at this moment, Etoo is surrounding the ball from the back point, but passing the ball when you can shoot, it still makes people feel like it is a waste of time.
Xavi followed up and did not touch the ball when he shot. Liverpool's defender was worried that his own goal and did not dare to touch the ball. Etoo's speed was fast and his footwork was fast, but he did not show up. The ball was hit by him on the side.
Barcelona fans who came to watch the game in the stands sighed. Some complained that Iniesta should have shot just now, some criticized Eto's footwork for being too smelly, and some thought that if Xavi got the point, he would definitely enter.
Liverpool fans are not interested in booing Eto'o's feet at this moment. This attack is too dangerous. The fact that he did not concede the goal is purely a huge character. If he still plays to this level next time, it may be hard to say the result.
The Liverpool players don't want to play so passively at this moment, but Barcelona's momentum is too strong at this moment. Every player seems to be theirs. The accuracy and speed of passing are astonishingly fast. Liverpool players can't resist the shrinking in the half, and there is no way to push them out and play.
In the 44th minute of the game, after Barcelona had a dazzling pass and cut cooperation in the frontcourt, Ronaldinho made a pass and cut cooperation with Messi at the front of the penalty area. Messi broke into the penalty area and shot. The ball hit the defender's leg and bounced to Messi's feet again. Messi dribbled the ball past Ag, but he still could not get rid of the defensive player Yuji. He could only pass the ball to Ronaldinho's feet. Ronaldinho took two steps horizontally at the front of the penalty area, trying to find the angle of the shooting, but Liverpool players quickly gathered more than half of the players in the middle and blocked Ronaldinho's shooting angle.
Ronaldinho's vision was very wide when he held the ball. He instantly found that Liverpool's goal was empty at the far end, and his teammate Etoo was moving into the penalty area again, and he immediately passed the ball diagonally.
This is definitely a great opportunity. Etoo and Ronaldinho switched to the side and did nothing after they switched to the side. Seeing Messi playing so lively with the middle, he was about to come and join in the fun. Suddenly, he found that the ball was passing by. At this time, Etoo's speed and explosive power played a key role. Although Liverpool defender Finnan also saw the ball, he was two steps behind Etoo and could only watch Etoo's shot from a small angle.
Etoo's shooting angle is very small, but he is too close to the goal. As a world-class striker, it is too unreasonable to not score such a ball without defense.
The ball entered the net and the score became l-game.
After scoring the goal, Etoo, who performed the worst in the first half, was inexplicably excited. He opened his arms excitedly and rushed into the stands like a flying crow.
Jump over the billboard and climbing up the guardrail, Etoo yelled loudly at the nearly 6,000 fans who came to help the game: "I want to applause."
The applause from Barcelona fans sounded the moment the ball entered the net, but because the number of people was small, it didn't seem like the earth-shaking momentum that Liverpool fans shouted.
"aIaIaI... Etoo's African Cheetah goal scored a goal and the score became I. Both sides scored one goal each. Barcelona has come back to life. This is a cooperation with the trident. It is also three months later. The first cooperation of Barcelona's Trident. Their cooperation is very exciting. We look forward to them being able to perform a miracle at Anfield... This miracle is to score two more goals, and there is hope for no more goals. As long as they can score another goal, the total score will be tied. They can play extra time and overtime. If Barcelona can win Liverpool in a clean sheet, then they will advance..."
The Spanish commentator was constantly analyzing Barcelona's current situation. After scoring this goal, the Spanish commentator became more and more emotional.
The English commentator was very sorry, "Liverpool played a good goal in the first half. Before Chen Badminton scored, Barcelona had no chance at all, but after Chen Badminton scored, everything changed. The conservative Liverpool coaches regarded the draw as the target. For a team like Barcelona, you must press their spirits tightly and let them take the initiative. Not to mention Liverpool, any team is difficult to resist. The situation is not good for Liverpool, and it is very unfavorable for Liverpool. The opponent has already scored a away goal. Just score another one below and equalize it. This is the most difficult time for Liverpool."
Liverpool's head coach Benitez looked disappointed. He didn't hold on in the last minute and was scored by his opponent. He was still a trident in the frontcourt. He made detailed arrangements before the game, but he still couldn't watch it. Benitez felt so cowardly.
At this moment, Barcelona's head coach Rijkald was in a very complicated mood after roaring excitedly, because although Etoo's goal might help Barcelona come back to life, he also slapped him in the face, because at this time the fans would definitely think that if Etoo could play in the last game, the result of the game might be different.
