Chapter 686: Duel Trident (Part 2)

The goal Etoo scored in the last minute of the first half changed the situation of the entire game.

Without Etoo's goal, Liverpool's tactics in the second half would definitely be more conservative and intensive defense. Although they reversed AC Milan in Istanbul three goals in half, they did not think Barcelona could do it. But now, the score has become a l draw, and the total score is only one goal away from Barcelona. Liverpool dare not play too conservatively. If the opponent is as good as the first half, Liverpool may capsize with an absolute advantage.

Most of the factors that Liverpool's poor offense in the first half were because of Sissoko. Sissoko was definitely not a world-class defense. It was world-class, but in offense, Sissoko was not even a first-class, barely called second-class. Under Barcelona's crazy pressing, the ball got stuck when it came to Sissoko. However, Sissoko also liked to show off her offense, and it always became the starting point of Barcelona's offense.

During the break, Benitez replaced Sissoko. Liverpool now needs not only defense, but also attack. In their midfield, Alonso and Gerrard are both offensive and defensive players. It can be said that defense is not worse than offense at all. Lisse, who is raised from the full-back position, is a player who is good at defense. With three such players, Sissoko, who only knows defense and does not attack, and has a yellow card, should go down and rest.

The player who changed was Bellamy, not Garcia. Although Garcia is better than Bellamy in terms of creativity and technical delicacy, they are facing the most creative and technically delicate Barcelona in the world. Garcia's creativity is really nothing compared to Barcelona's players, so it is better to simply and directly use Bellamy's speed to kill the opponent.

It has to be said that Benitez knows too deeply about La Liga. After Bellamy came on the court, he and Chen Yu became the two fastest sharp arrows on the court, one passing the ball and the other grabbing the spot, which made Barcelona worry a lot when attacking and could no longer be as sharp as in the first half.

In the fifth minute after the start of the second half, Liverpool had a chance to counterattack.

This is Barcelona's threatening pass in the frontcourt, Alonso made a long pass and counterattacked, and the ball was passed in front of Bellamy like a missile. Bellamy was placed on the left by Benitestein to deal with Barcelona's right-back Oleg. In fact, Barcelona's two sides today lack speed, but Toram on the left is more experienced. Bellamy's frizzy personality may not necessarily be able to control him, and Oleg is not as good as Toram in all aspects. Bellamy's strong breakthrough is the best choice.

Bellamy did not hesitate at all when attacking, and accelerated as soon as he took the ball, and rushed from the midfield to the baseline of Barcelona, ​​without taking Barcelona's midfield defense players to heart.

In fact, it is no wonder that Bellamy takes Barcelona's defensive players seriously. In Barcelona's midfield trio, in addition to Deco, who has the ability to defend, Xavi and Iniesta basically defend with their eyes. If Bellamy faces them, not only will he have the advantage of speed, but also his advantage in height and strength, which is simply a comprehensive suppression.

Sure enough, before Harvey's backup defense was in place, Bellamy killed from the wing and headed straight for full-back Oleg.

Oleg was very afraid of Bellamy's speed. Seeing that his teammates in the middle were unable to defend, he chose to take the risk and grab it. However, this hit Bellamy's idea. The Welsh took the ball three meters away and forced himself to overtake, which directly exploded Oleg.

Bellamy is extremely fast, and he almost wastes no time when breaking through the side. If the player in the middle line is slightly slower, he may not be able to keep up when grabbing the point. Chen Yu gave him the greatest trust when he broke through the side. He did not wait and ran to the goal with all his might, and was ready to grab the point.

Bellamy made a strong cross from the baseline, and the ball came like lightning. Chen Yu saw that his running position was a little forward. He jumped backward and made a header similar to a backward jump shot.

It is difficult for Chen Yu to head the ball to grab the point, but Chen Yu did it very casually. He jumped high and almost formed a bow in the air. Although the header could not be sent inside, Bellamy passed the ball so hard and was so close to the goal. As long as Chen Yu changed the direction, the ball would be an absolutely good ball.

Chen Yu hit the ball and changed the direction of the ball, but his heading was too difficult, and the amplitude of the downward push was limited. The ball hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced out.

Bang

The sound of the ball and beam contact is the most wonderful for Barcelona people. At this time, all they can count on is the beam.

The commentator on the scene said depressedly: "Ah... Mom's goal post, Liverpool's good opportunity, Chen Yu almost scored twice. If Chen Yu can score, then this is his fifth Champions League goal. Fighting for the best scorer will no longer be a dream..."

Of course, Chen Yu is the most depressing person. The opponent's attack is so fierce, and the situation on the field has been favorable to Barcelona recently. Chen Yu really hopes to take this opportunity to overtake the score again, hit Barcelona's arrogance, and let them understand whose territory this is. Unfortunately, in this attack, God is standing on Barcelona's side.

After Bellamy came on the court, Liverpool had two fast gunners. Barcelona's offense was severely suppressed. They did not dare to put in big pressure and had to invest troops on the side to block Bellamy's breakthrough on the side.

However, Barcelona soon discovered that both Iniesta and Xavi were given free of charge to the side, and if Deco defended to the side, the middle was completely empty. However, Rijkaard did not want to change defensive players. Now Barcelona still needs to score goals to qualify for extra time. After changing to the defensive player, they may be able to defend Liverpool's counterattack, but their own offense can only be completed by relying on their own trident.

Rijkald was also a very capable coach. He soon thought of good tricks to let Etoo retreat to defend, helping Oleg watch Bellamy with fast against fast.

Not to mention, the method Rijkaard put into place is very useful. Bellamy is not a person with a high pitch on the court. He has no skills in his breakthrough. He just uses speed to eat. He can succeed repeatedly because his speed is too fast. Now that Etoo's defense comes back, Bellamy's speed advantage is gone, and the attack on the wing is quickly extinguished.

The score on the field is still tied. This is a sensitive score. Both sides have hope. If Barcelona scored another one, they will tie the total score. If Liverpool scored another one, Liverpool will basically lock in the victory.

However, now both sides' offense and defense are suppressed by their opponents, which just makes the game dull and the pace becomes very slow.

Time is disappearing little by little, and the balance on the field has not been broken. Both sides have their own fears and rely on them. The head coach does not dare to make any adjustments easily. They all hope that their talented stars can stand up and change the course of the game.

In the UU minute of the game, Barcelona got the chance first. This time it was Etoo. Oleg and Oleg had the upper hand in the confrontation with Bellamy. Bellamy made a fake move to break through Etoo on the side, but in order to prevent Etoo's pursuit, Bellamy dribbled a bit too much and was intercepted by Oleg, who had a good sense of distance.

Oleg passed the ball to Etoo, who rushed to Liverpool's half along the wing at high speed.

This is an opportunity to switch off the offensive and defensive transition. Although Liverpool has many experts in midfield defense, everyone is attacking at this moment, but they are unable to intercept Etoo in the midfield. Etoo is almost in a state of no one to attack the side of the penalty area.

Aberoa knew that Barcelona was not good at heading the ball, so he let the pass and broke through, and Etoo formed a cross from the bottom line.

However, after Etoho arrived on the side, Ronaldinho grabbed the spot in the middle. His header was at the same level as Etoho and was not aware of it. The ball flew to the back point, and Messi arrived like lightning-like strength before the defender, but Messi's header was even worse. After he jumped up, he almost pushed the ball with his head over the top of his head. The ball crossed the crossbar high, and goalkeeper Renner did not even make a save.

The initiative on the court is obviously still on Liverpool's side. Time is Liverpool's biggest assistant. As long as the score is maintained until the end of the game, Liverpool can advance to the quarterfinals. If Barcelona wants to advance, they must score another goal to play extra time with Liverpool.

After 70 minutes of the game, Barcelona had to take the risk of attacking, and at this time, Liverpool's chance officially arrived.

In the 76th minute of the game, Liverpool formed an offensive frenzy. Gerrard dribbled the ball and ran for a long distance. Barcelona surrounded and blocked the ball. Gerrard passed directly to the right rib. Chen Yu inserted it at a high speed. The shot from a small angle on the right was blocked by Valdes. Kuyt's follow-up shot was bounced to the other side by Valdes' knee. Then Risse jumped to the top and hit the empty goal, but was cleared by Puyol again on the goal line.

This attack has already sounded a wake-up call for Barcelona, ​​but when attacking and defending are dead, Barcelona has to continue to take risks and attack fiercely.

In the 80th minute of the game, Barcelona's crisis finally arrived. Messi dribbled the ball from the side and broke through. He might have felt that no one had grabbed the cross, so he dribbled the ball and cut into the penalty area and shot himself.

However, Liverpool's defensive system was not at all messed up. Under the disturbance of Liverpool players, Messi's shot was soft and weak, and was saved by goalkeeper Reina. The ball fell to Alonso's feet. Alonso bravely dunked Ronaldinho at the front of the penalty area and made a long pass to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu is the only forward on the front line. Kuyt and Bellamy have all returned to defend, but at this time, Barcelona has only two defensive players, Oleg and Puyol.

Captain Puyol stayed to see Chen Yu, while Oleg stayed to assist in defense because he had no offensive ability and was slow.

Alonso's ball was passed, and Puyol thought about it at the first time to deal with the ball before Chen Yu, because the space in the backcourt was too large, and the risk of being taken by Chen Yu was extremely high. If you could not grab the landing point, you would foul Chen Yu. In short, Chen Yu could not control the ball.

However, Alonso's pass is very terrifying. Even if the distance is so far, his pass is more conducive to the offensive players. Chen Yu's strength is no worse than Puyol. He leaned against Puyol tightly and prepared to stop the ball.

Puyor looked at the landing point and felt that he might not have received the ball at all, he pushed Chen Yu's back, trying to overthrow Chen Yu and used a yellow card to stop Chen Wu from taking the ball.

But Puyor suddenly found that he pushed his palms in the air, and then he saw that Chen Yu did not stop the ball, but suddenly turned around 180 degrees and went around Puyor's side.

Because of the force, Puyol leaned forward and lost his center of gravity. He neither pushed the ball nor lost control of Chen Yu. "Beautiful Chen Yu's oh, this is really good to get rid of it. Is this classic grasp of the timing of getting rid of the ball... "

The on-site commentator, who had been wilted for more than 20 minutes, was excited again.

Chen Yu was ready when he was competing with Puyor, so he toughly pushed Puyor with his back. Now he got rid of Puyor, and the ball just fell to his side. When it landed and bounced up for the second time, Chen Yu did not wait for the ball to get up, but pressed it with his outside instep, and controlled it in the shortest time. Then he drove the ball and rushed to Barcelona's penalty area at high speed.

At that time, Chen Yu turned around, pressed the ball, and waded the ball in less than two seconds. Before Puyor turned around, Oleg was still stupid there, and Chen Yu had already completed the most important part of this counterattack.

Puyol chased and Oleg chased, but it was useless. They just did their best to see if they could put some psychological pressure on Chen Yu and prevent Chen Yu from falling on Valdes.

Valdes was still as brave as ever. He took a bold attack and prepared to slam the ball under Chen Yu's feet in the penalty area line.

Valdes chose this distance because when he was single, the forward was definitely unwilling to shoot long shots outside the penalty area. That was not cost-effective. He probably broke into the penalty area and shot a little before shooting, or passed the goalkeeper, and of course he might also shoot a lob. Valdes thought of all these.

Valdes thought very well, but he forgot one thing, that is, Chen Yu was extremely fast and the goal was so big.

Before Chen Yu entered the penalty area, he changed direction significantly, and went from the middle to the left side of the goal.

Valdes moved horizontally at high speed and his body was ready to slam, but at this time, Chen Yu suddenly stopped urgently and stepped on the ball.

Because Chen Yu's speed was too fast, Valdes moved horizontally very quickly in order to intercept him. Chen Yu suddenly stopped urgently. Valdes wanted to stop, but his body was no longer in control and was directly shaken on the grass.
