Lazio have now regained their identity as a Tiki-taka team, and when they have the ball, they are in no hurry to pass it towards the goal.
Because they also know that Barcelona's defense against Klose is very tight.
If they pass it in rashly, they will not help Klose score, but will waste an offensive opportunity.
The game time is getting shorter and shorter, and Lazio's offensive opportunities are getting fewer and fewer. Every time it is wasted, it is one less time.
Now Barcelona is doing everything possible to buy time. If the football is at their feet, they will keep passing the ball until the end of the game.
Therefore, we must ensure that football is under Lazio's control as much as possible.
When Lazio attacks, they start passing the ball back and forth in front of the penalty area. Everyone is running, looking for opportunities to kill with one hit.
If this is a normal situation, it is not difficult for Lazio to score goals, because anyone can score. As long as the space is opened and a player runs into the position, he can pass the ball and then form a shot.
.
In that case, Lazio is probably five or six goals ahead of Barcelona.
But it doesn't work now, because they can only pass the football to Klose, back and forth, and the final target of the pass must be Klose.
It's much easier for Barcelona to defend.
※※※
Lazio kept passing the ball, and Klose in front kept running. Although he was actually very tired, he did not stop his running.
Chang Sheng said that opportunities come from running, so he has to run. If he doesn't run, his teammates won't know how to pass the ball.
Tiki-taka is flowing water, and it is threatening only when it flows.
Klose is sometimes in the penalty area, sometimes outside the penalty area, sometimes on the wing, and sometimes in the middle.
But wherever he is, he is surrounded by Barcelona defenders.
Sometimes it's Puyol, sometimes it's Pique.
Sometimes there will be more than two Barcelona players around him.
It shows how much Barcelona attaches importance to him.
※※※
Ledesma picked up the ball outside the penalty area, and after a series of passes, the football fell to his feet again.
This is not the first time he has caught the ball. During this passing process, he has caught the ball three times, and the football has been passed from left to right and from right to left three times.
But there are no good opportunities.
When the football fell to Ledesma's feet again, he saw an opening!
But for this attack, it was too small, a tiny trace.
Want to pass the football?
What if it doesn't pass out? Then you have to continue to pass it crosswise and back.
But what's the point of doing this?
Ledesma decided to take a risk.
As an organizer, sometimes you have to take risks.
When to take risks and when not to take risks is the time to test the ability of an organizer.
Ledesma chose to take the risk.
After he caught the ball, he made a slight adjustment and sent the football into space!
※※※
At the same time, Klose was also inserting himself into the space!
He and Ledesma saw the gap almost at the same time.
As a forward, his ideas are much simpler than Ledesma's. Ledesma saw an opening and had to consider whether to take advantage of it.
Klose only needs to see the space and run to it. If the ball is passed, it is not his concern to clear the air.
Even if the football is not passed, he still has to run.
So he ran away.
As a result, the football was passed from the other side!
Barcelona's defense against Klose was indeed very tight. Seeing him running towards the football, Puyol and Mascherano rushed over from different directions in an attempt to block his shot.
In the small space of the penalty area, it is difficult for Klose to stop the ball, let alone get rid of the shot.
What if you shoot directly... This angle is very difficult, and the shot may miss very high.
Barcelona's defense was flawless this time.
However, Klose did not stop the ball, nor shoot, nor get rid of it.
When he ran towards the football, he had already thought about what he was going to do next.
He not only considers himself, he also considers the team's overall offense.
He passed the football before Puyol and Mascherano!
He didn't stop the ball or shoot, but passed the ball!
He directly passed the football across the field and outside the penalty area in one breath!
Klose's choice was somewhat unexpected by the Barcelona players.
The football passed in front of Mascherano and rolled outside the penalty area.
At the same time, outside the penalty area, Lazio's full-back Azpilicueta stepped in and received Klose's pass!
Although there was a Barcelona defender in front of him, Klose's pass still gave Azpilicueta an opening.
This space is not enough for him to break through or shoot, but it is enough for him to cross!
Azpilicueta made a direct pass!
※※※
After passing the ball, Klose immediately turned around and retreated. He had already thought about what Azpilicueta would do.
Sure enough, as he expected, Azpilicueta chose to cross, and it was a high ball!
This was what he expected, because if you want to bypass Barcelona's defense, the safest way is to pass the high ball!
From the moment Klose passed the ball, his actions were unexpected by the Barcelona defenders. In order to attack him, Puyol and Mascherano lost their positions. As soon as Klose withdrew, they ran into the space.
Out.
Then he stepped in front of the goal again, intending to header!
Although Puyol and Mascherano were shaken, there were still some people who were not shaken completely.
That's Pique!
Pique rushed up from behind and faced the football!
Klose had just moved out of his position when he noticed Pique's presence.
But at this time, it was impossible for him to give in.
This is the best chance. If he chickens out, there will be no better chance to score.
This is the time to fight!
Klose still took off as planned.
At the same time, Pique also jumped up while rushing forward.
Two people faced the football at the same time.
It's just that Klose jumped backwards, while Pique jumped forward.
Logically speaking, Pique should have the advantage.
But Klose is obviously better at judging where the football will land!
He got stuck in front of Pique, grabbed the ball first, and then shook his head!
Just when he threw the football over his head, he felt a huge force coming from behind and knocked him forward!
※※※
"This is a foul!" The Italian commentator couldn't help shouting loudly as soon as he saw this scene. His mind had already imagined that Pique knocked over Klose, and Klose interfered with Pique.
Below, the shot of the football flying up...
But this scene didn't happen.
When Klose hit the football, it did not fly directly over the crossbar, but flew smoothly towards the goal.
Then he was knocked down by Pique!
Pique was still a step late. His collision did not interfere with the flight trajectory of the football. The football flew directly to the back end of the goal!
In the process of being knocked down from behind by Pique, Klose still completed a difficult lion's head swing to attack the goal!
The football didn't fly to the front goal post, but to the back post!
This caught Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes off guard!
※※※
In fact, from the moment Pique took off, he felt that he had no chance of hitting the ball.
Because Klose’s position is so good...
This old guy fully demonstrated his experience advantage.
It is impossible for Pique to head the ball past Klose.
So he temporarily changed his strategy. His goal was not to head the ball, but to hit someone!
He wants to knock Klose sideways from behind and interfere with him!
This is a very risky move. If Klose falls to the ground, it may be a penalty kick.
But other than that, Pique really has no choice.
So he hit Klose hard from behind!
He successfully knocked Klose over, but before he could laugh, he saw the football flying past him and straight to the back point!
He turned his head to look and watched as the football hit the back post and then fell to the inside of the goal line...
"The ball...the ball...the ball went in-the ball-went in-!!!"
The commentator was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that the football really flew into the goal, he raised his arms and cheered.
※※※
When Klose was knocked out by Pique, many people thought it was a foul and the goal would definitely not go in. If the referee did not call a penalty kick, they would spray the referee to death!
This is what Lazio fans think in their hearts.
But when they saw the football flying towards the goal, they finally didn’t have to do that!
All the Lazio fans and the Italian commentator jumped from their seats.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
"Klose! Klose! Klose!!! The twelfth goal!! He surpassed Messi!! He is now the top scorer in the Champions League!"
"Amazing Klose! The flying German! Even if Pique's defense is a foul, it can't stop Klose's determination to score!"
"The last suspense has been ended! Lazio is the Champions League champion and Klose is the top scorer! He doesn't have to share with Messi anymore!"
※※※
When Klose was knocked sideways by Pique, he was still turning his head to see if the football had gone in. He didn't care about maintaining his balance at all, so in the end he fell to the ground solidly.
It was a heavy fall, but he didn't care at all.
He is still watching football.
Watching the football fly into the goal, he jumped up from the ground!
He finally stopped rushing into the goal to pick up the ball. Instead, he turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, and then he did a somersault while sprinting!
Although Chang Sheng strictly prohibited him from doing so, he decided to make an exception now.
Without such a way of celebrating, it seems that his excitement cannot be reflected at all.
And this time, Chang Sheng did not criticize Klose's celebration from the sidelines.
He just stood on the sidelines and waved helplessly.
Don't blame Klose at this time.
Being able to become the top scorer in the Champions League at the age of thirty-three is indeed worthy of such celebration!
After waving helplessly, Chang Sheng gave a thumbs up and reached towards Klose in the distance.
Well done! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
