knife guard

Chapter 1027
The goal of Fabregas immediately broke the balance that had been maintained for more than ten minutes, and the mentality of the two sides also changed very subtlely. The score of 2:1 is not unacceptable to the visiting team, because the away goal was scored. After returning to the home court, Barcelona only needs to use a one-to-zero result against Arsenal, so Arsenal's next game at the Nou Camp will never be too conservative.

For Arsenal, although 2:1 is not as good as 1:0, it is a victory after all. It is acceptable in terms of morale and results. After winning, their tactics for the next away game The purpose is very flexible, you can attack or defend, or you can neither attack nor defend.

But this goal was scored after a steal when Barcelona was in possession of the ball. Can they still fall in the backcourt later?It’s hard to say this, he represents that Barcelona’s ball possession tactics are not safe, in case Arsenal steals again and scores another goal, 3:1 is totally unacceptable for Barcelona.

For Arsenal, the reason is the same. When other players saw that they could steal Barcelona's pass and then score a goal, they all had good ideas. Therefore, Arsenal's mentality after scoring was not as good as 1:1. When it was stable, now the offensive momentum and attitude are even higher.

When the fighting spirit of the two sides is up, the game becomes exciting, and the scenes of confrontation emerge in endlessly.

Even if they wanted to attack, Barcelona never seemed as anxious as the average team. Their offensive philosophy was still possession of the ball, because in Barcelona's view, the ball was safest when it was under their feet. Even if they couldn't find the opponent's flaws, at least It will not give the opponent a chance to shoot, as long as they have the ball at their feet, they will always find a flaw that hints at Arsenal.

However, Barcelona's possession of the ball also becomes difficult when it encounters Arsenal's pressing, because Arsenal is also a team that is good at possession of the ball and knows how to compress the space for passing and receiving the ball, and Arsenal still has a lot of fast horses. The space that can pass the past, when encountering players like Walcott, Li Huan, and Arshavin of Arsenal, they dare not pass the ball and can only pass back frequently.

Arsenal's press made Barcelona unable to keep calm. From time to time, the exclamation of Barcelona fans could be heard on the pitch. Barcelona's defenders also began to kick their feet in the backcourt. The rhythm of the game suddenly entered the F1 field from the country road. Fans are afraid to leave the pitch for even a second, fearful that if they miss a glance they might miss a goal.

Barcelona's big kick is the best for Arsenal. Barcelona's ability to control high-altitude balls is very poor, even worse than Arsenal. Arsenal are famous for their lack of air combat in the Premier League. When they played against Barcelona, ​​​​they finally found space. Everyone seems to be a good header. Whether it is a clearance or a goal, Arsenal's players grab most of the goals. Arsenal's little guys in the frontcourt can only watch. With Arsenal snatching the ball in the past.

Of course, Arsenal's pressing has improved the control time of the ball for themselves, and because of the ball grabbing, the space in the backcourt has become larger, providing Barcelona with a lot of space for passing and coordination, and Barcelona has the best two players in the world. Midfield stars Xavi and Iniesta, their chances of passing the deadly ball at the moment of the opponent's negligence are unparalleled in the world. The ball they sent behind them several times in a row almost turned into a one-handed goal. Fortunately, Li Huan did not step forward when his teammate made a steal , he dragged behind. When Barcelona countered offside, Li Huan made offside and chased back to make Arsenal's defense safe and sound.

Both sides have their own scruples, but the game has already opened, and the sword is hard to sheath, so the two sides can only fight like this.

But it’s strange to say that after the goal, the two teams played a bit risky. As long as Arsenal steals in the frontcourt, they can immediately form a chance to directly face the back line and goalkeeper in the frontcourt, while Barcelona only needs to complete the attack. With an anti-offside, they can also form a one-handed goal.But because the levels of the two sides are very close and restrict each other, the game situation is still in a dynamic balance, and no one can do anything to the other.The only thing that is cheap is the fans. Fans from all over the world are attracted to the stadium. Even football hooligans don't have the mind to do anything else, because they are worried that the game will score at any time.

During the tense game, the on-site commentator still had the opportunity to intervene.

"Arsenal should be proud of being able to force Barcelona to open their feet, but it is a pity that they have not been able to score another goal..."

"Barcelona has the two midfielders with the best passing skills. It's a pity that they couldn't send a successful one-handed goal when Arsenal grabbed it. It is still necessary for the stars to stand up and break the current situation. The situation of the game... The stars are used to break the balance, now let us guess who will score the next goal? Li Huan, Messi, Villa or Iniesta..."

Everyone is calling on the stars to break the balance of the game. As everyone knows, it is not the superstars who break the balance the most in the competition, but luck.

At No. 30 minutes into the second half of the game, an accident changed the course of the game.

Barcelona is definitely the best passing team in the world, and even Arsenal are hard to come by. In Wenger's words, "Other teams, that is, the most skilled attacking midfielders have the ability to make deadly passes, but Barcelona almost every time. Individuals, including defenders, have the ability to make a deadly pass, which is very deadly." In other words, Barcelona's defenders are all similar to your attacking midfielder in passing skills, which is why as long as the opponent has an open space or makes a mistake, Barcelona will immediately pass the ball. The reason can be caught.Of course, the best passers are Barcelona's Xavi, Iniesta and Messi.

Barcelona players are very sensitive to passing the ball. They can accurately judge how fast the ball needs to pass between the two defensive players, how much force our feet should exert, or the ball should be thrown into the air.Once they judge that these two defensive players are too fast, tall, and difficult to control the parabola, they will immediately choose a larger and safer pass back.

No. 30 minutes, Arsenal's continuous pressing showed a certain degree of physical exhaustion, the physical consumption of the players was unbalanced, and some running slowed down. At this time, their space in the backcourt became larger.When Harvey was observing with the ball, he found that the gap between Arsenal's central defender Koscielny and full-back Li Huan was getting bigger and smaller. Three or four times, Harvey finally found the right time to pass the ball behind the two.

Harvey's ball is very accurate in judging the height, leg length, distance and speed of Li Huan and Koscielny. If there is no accident, the ball must have passed, and at this time Messi has already rushed to the two sides. Behind the individual, as long as the ball can reach, Messi will also arrive. At that time, no matter how fast Li Huan is, it will not be effective, because Messi is too close to the penalty area.

However, Harvey's pass has taken into account almost all factors, but it has not taken into account that when there is a piece of turf on the line of his pass that is tackled, he shovels it up, pads the ball, and the ball jumps, and the ball speed slows down. .

Such a small change was clearly observed by Li Huan. Based on his experience and nerves, he judged that he could not intercept Harvey's pass. At this time, he saw the speed of the ball slow down, and Li Huan fell to the ground and stretched his legs without hesitation.The ball was intercepted.

When Harvey saw the ball kicked up, he was startled. He was still praying that his opponent would not notice him, but he immediately saw Li Huan intercepting the ball.Seeing this scene, Harvey immediately stepped forward to steal while Li Huan hadn't got up.

Surrounding and fouling in the first place is the essence of Barcelona's defense.The players also cooperated very tacitly. As soon as Harvey stepped forward, the other players immediately moved their positions to block Li Huan's possible passing route.Barcelona's players understand passing far better than other teams. Others only need to move a meter or two to seal the passing line between Li Huan and others.It doesn't take a lot of people to actually run over.

But Li Huan didn't pass the ball. Before he got up, he hooked the ball with his foot and pulled it in front of him, letting Harvey, who was pounced on him, miss it. With a flick, Li Huan took a step forward, and then threw away Messi who was catching up from behind.

accelerate!
Speed ​​up!
Li Huan chose the most direct way, ignoring the behavior of the Barcelona players blocking the passing route, and directly dribbling the ball towards Barcelona's half court.

When Harvey passed the ball, Barcelona was already pressing very forward, otherwise Harvey would not have so much space and time. Li Huan broke through directly along the straight line like a red-hot knife stabbing snow. , if no one intercepts, Li Huan will be able to tear everything apart and directly face goalkeeper Valdes.

Brother Xiao Ma, who was transferred from Liverpool, is the best candidate to play this villain. His defense has always been tough, and he has played in the Premier League for many years. A two-footed shovel ran towards Li Huan, which clearly means that you can't pass the ball, you can't pass the ball, or you can't pass the ball. I will never let you pass the ball.

However, Li Huan was already prepared as if he had already made a tackle. At the same time as Xiao Ma tackled the ball, he also changed the direction of the ball. After passing the ball, he rushed past Xiao Ma and went straight to the central defender Pique.

Buskos, who was clumsily approaching Li Huan and Pique, was almost ignored by everyone, because compared with Li Huan, Buskos was really too slow.

The atmosphere on the court froze again, and all eyes were on Pique and Li Huan. The two best guards with swords in the world today will collide for the second time. The first time Li Huan won, this time Will Li Huan win again?
