He listened to the boss's arrangement and did not attack blindly to intercept the cross.
Instead, he left the aerial battle to his teammate, Jose.
Passarella, Campoli and other Lazio players.
And he was guarding the goal line, ready to pounce on those who missed the mark.
This is actually a very risky approach.
Because you are guarding the goal line, the area you need to defend increases. As long as the opponent's head angle is a little biased, the goalkeeper may not even have a chance to react and can only watch the football go into the net.
Why does the goalkeeper have to hit the ball when shooting? It is because this can shorten the distance between the opponent and himself, reduce the opponent's shooting angle, and make it easier for him to save the ball.
The current situation requires Handanovic's reaction speed to be very high.
When the distance is extremely close, he must react as quickly as possible, otherwise he will be too late.
Although Jose.
Passarella and Campoli worked hard, but Barcelona still found a chance.
When their cross from the wing reached the goal, Osvaldo jumped high in front of the goal. He and Jose.
After the collision with Passarella, the football bounced near the penalty spot!
Neymar, who was waiting there, directly raised his right foot and volleyed!
"Neymar——!!!"
The Catalan commentator shouted in a prolonged voice.
Neymar's movements are very stretched and relaxed when shooting, and it can be seen that he is in good shooting condition.
As long as the ball hits the goal frame, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to save it!
Many Barcelona fans even raised their hands and started celebrating in advance.
The anxious commentator even yelled out "GOAL" excitedly.
But the next second, their early celebration turned into a joke!
Handanovic, who was guarding the goal line, stood up, rushed to the right side of his body, and at the same time extended his right hand.
Then the football hit the palm of his right hand.
Snap!
The football bounced up, drew an arc in the air, climbed over the goal crossbar, and then landed on the top of the net, where it was caught.
※※※
The roars, cheers, and applause suddenly stopped at this moment.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the football falling from the top of the net!
What just happened?
In that flash of lightning, one kick was supposed to lead to a goal. Why did the football end up here now?
When Neymar volleyed, many people had a strong premonition that the ball would go in.
Because they couldn't find a reason not to score the goal!
Handanovic fell to the ground, then got up from the ground. He was relieved when he saw that the football was already outside the baseline.
Then Campoli rushed up and hugged him hard!
"Amazing save! Handanovic! In the previous attack, he made a mistake and conceded the ball, but now he made up for it with his outstanding performance! He blocked Neymar's sure goal!"
The Italian commentator also forgot that he was worried about Handanovic's performance before, and now he is praising Handanovic desperately.
Even Chang Sheng couldn't help but wave his fist when he saw this scene.
This save proved that Handanovic was not affected by the mistake just now, and now he was half relieved...
※※※
After Neymar shot the football, he had a strong premonition that the goal would definitely go in. He was even ready to celebrate.
As a result, the football he shot was saved by Handanovic with one palm.
His celebration immediately turned into frustration. His raised hands suddenly came down and he held his head.
Then he looked at the goal with a face full of surprise.
He didn't know how Handanovic could save his ball from such a close distance!
His volley is very accurate and very fast.
In this way, Handanovic could be saved... Are his previous mistakes really just accidental?
※※※
"It's nothing special, we still have a corner kick! Neymar's goal just now was scored through a corner kick!" Catalonia's commentator encouraged the fans, telling them not to worry if the goal didn't go in.
Handanovic gave Barcelona a corner kick, maybe it was a good thing.
But in the next corner kick, Barcelona didn't even have a chance to threaten Handanovic.
Their corner kick was taken by Jose.
Passarella was the first to push away.
What a Camacho, what a Osvaldo, they didn’t even have a chance to touch the football leather.
※※※
Handanovic kept his promise. In the next game, he took high passes and low blocks, which really prevented Barcelona from scoring a single goal!
Time and time again, the fans and commentators in the stands applauded Handanovic's wonderful saves.
And every time, his wonderful save was accompanied by the frustrated expressions of the Barcelona players.
Barcelona's offense failed to score, and it was their turn to lose the goal.
In the 77th minute, Lazio used a successful counterattack to send the football into Barcelona's goal.
21, Lazio regained the lead!
After this ball, Guardiola completely gave up the offense and the whole team turned to defense. Even if they had the ball, they just kept passing the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt without moving forward. It was the same as at the beginning of the game.
.
For visiting Barcelona, the score of 1:2 is a very good result, they can definitely do it!
They had one away goal and only lost one on aggregate.
So they can shrink their defense and defend the score.
If we continue to attack, the risk will be too great.
What if Lazio scores another goal?
Being behind by two goals and being behind by one goal are completely different concepts.
※※※
In the last ten minutes of the game, the ball basically moved back and forth in Barcelona's half, either being passed around at the feet of Barcelona players, or Lazio attacking with the ball.
Anyway, it basically has nothing to do with Lazio goalkeeper Handanovic...
Handanovic stood in front of the goal and has been paying attention to the progress of the game.
He very much hopes that the team can score another goal, so that it can lead by two goals.
Otherwise, the ball he conceded will still hang over Lazio's head like a sword of Damocles, and it may fall down and chop off everyone's heads in the second round.
In that case, he would become everyone's sinner - which was actually okay. What he couldn't accept the most was that he ended his boss's last goal.
He can't forgive himself.
He hopes his teammates can redeem themselves.
So he, who seems to have nothing to do with the game, is more anxious than anyone else.
But it is a pity that Lazio failed to score until the end of the game.
Other Lazio players also seemed very anxious, and in the final moments of the game, they bombarded Barcelona's goal.
I tried all kinds of offensive methods, but still couldn't blast away Barcelona's goal!
The score of this game was fixed at 21. Lazio defeated Barcelona at home.
But this score is definitely not satisfactory.
So when the game ended, it was not the Lazio fans who cheered and celebrated, but the Barcelona fans.
The ones smiling on the pitch are not Lazio players, but Barcelona players.
Everyone knows that Barcelona actually won this game...
※※※
At the post-match press conference, reporters besieged Chang Sheng over Handanovic's mistakes.
With the current score, it will be difficult for Lazio to advance to the final.
And this conceded goal should not have happened.
Handanovic's mistake was too fatal.
Then everyone naturally thinks that this is Handanovich's problem.
Faced with reporters' accusations against Handanovich, Chang Sheng naturally refuted them all.
"Handanovic's performance was very good. I don't think there was anything wrong with the ball he lost. He just came on and didn't even warm up well before coming on, so it's normal to make a mistake as soon as he came on. I don't think
What’s the big deal — how dare you say other players go their entire careers without making mistakes?”
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Naturally, they did not dare to say such things.
But it would be a shame to let Handanovic go like this.
So some people took a different approach and asked whether the goal conceded due to a mistake by the ever-victor Handanovic would affect Lazio's promotion and bring about very bad results.
In fact, it was still a roundabout way for Chang Sheng to criticize Handanovic.
Only those who win often will not be fooled.
"Very bad consequences? Sorry, I don't understand what 'very bad consequences' means."
The reporter saw Chang Sheng pretending to be confused in public, so he explained clearly: "Will Lazio not be able to enter the final because of this conceded goal?"
Chang Sheng shook his head: "It's impossible. There's no way Lazio can't make it to the final."
"Are you so sure?"
"Yes, I'm so sure!"
"Everyone can say nice things..."
Chang Sheng interrupted the other party. "No, it depends on the person. What you say is a beautiful word, but when I say it, it is a prophecy!"
Faced with such a constant victory, the other reporter didn't know what to say.
In terms of the level of messing around, he is indeed not as good as Chang Sheng...···
So he had no choice but to shut up, and at the same time secretly resented in his heart: Wait until Camp Nou, when you will suffer!
Other reporters came to ask Chang Sheng questions about Handanovich, but Chang Sheng pushed them back.
Anyway, he just didn't admit that this mistake was a big deal.
In fact, in his own opinion, it was really not a big deal.
Didn’t it just allow Barcelona to score an away goal?
It's very simple. When we arrived at Camp Nou, we had ninety minutes to score an away goal.
As long as we score a goal, the opponent's away goal advantage will be gone.
So Chang Sheng didn't understand what there was to worry about.
Or do they think Lazio can't even score a goal away from home?
That's a joke!
There is no door in this world that Lazio cannot break!
Is Nottingham Forest's defense good? It still allowed Lazio to score!
Chang Sheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with them.
He stood up and left the field directly, and the post-match press conference ended.
As for whether this score will prevent Lazio from qualifying for the final, he is not worried at all.
Let the media who like to worry about this kind of thing worry about it.
