knife guard

Chapter 1028
Although Barcelona is the most famous and the most popular stars are Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta, but the future leader and captain of Barcelona's defense is definitely Pique. The rich second generation of Spain is 1.9 meters tall and extremely talented. He is good, rich but not arrogant, and he has developed good skills. When he was in the La Masia youth team, he, Cesc Fabregas and Messi were known as the pillars of Barcelona in the future. After joining Manchester United, he was influenced by the Premier League. , The physical confrontation and header are very good, and he is now the first main force of Barcelona's air defense.In addition to defense, Pique often assists to the frontcourt. He is nicknamed Pickenbauer by fans. He and Li Huan are both famous guards with a knife. In the position of central defender, he has the potential to become the world's number one.

The match between Arsenal and Barcelona is generally hailed as a strong dialogue between Li Huan and Messi, but in terms of position, it is not impossible to say that it is a dialogue between Master Pi and Li Huan.

Li Huan rushed over with the ball in the penalty area, Pique didn't panic, he saw his teammate Valdez coming up to block Li Huan's shooting angle from the corner of his eyes, and he immediately went to meet Li Huan, ready to kick Li Huan Time to intercept, of course, if Li Huan can't kick, then he will have no chance to kick.

Although a small mistake in the penalty area may be awarded a penalty kick by the referee, but it is more dangerous to let Li Huan act recklessly in the penalty area than to award a penalty kick. Who knows what this Chinese will do, even if it is Li Huan. After losing Valdez, it is also possible to head the ball into the net. It is not that the Chinese have not done such things.

Facing a central defender with a height of 1.9 meters is a huge pressure, especially when he is still strong, Li Huan is like facing a wall. He feels that it is difficult to avoid the tall and long-legged skin from any direction. Gram's interception.However, Li Huan also knows where his advantages lie. He is now in the penalty area. No matter how strong Pique is, he will not dare to foul, because fouls will be sentenced to death, so he can do as much as he wants, as long as he can fool the Latin queen Shakira's boyfriend.

Li Huan didn't play any tricks. The basic skills of Barcelona's players are extremely profound. Even if it is a central defender, Li Huan decided to compare the speed of his feet and the flexibility of his body with his opponent. He believes that he is 8 centimeters taller and weighs 20 kilograms. Ke will never be more agile and faster than him.

Li Huan pushed the ball to the left, as if he was going to switch feet to dribble. Of course, from the perspective of outsiders, Li Huan might also want to shoot with his left foot.

Regardless of Li Huan's possibility, Pique had to shift his center of gravity to his right side in the process of advancing in order to better block and intercept.

When Li Huan pushed the ball to the left, as soon as the inside of his left foot touched, the ball immediately bounced accurately to the front of his right foot.Seeing this familiar movement, Pique couldn't help laughing, thinking it was Iniesta's famous trick of croquettes, and immediately guarded the center line of his body, ready for battle.

When Li Huan was making moves, the distance between him and Pique kept getting closer.

However, just as the Barcelona fans were watching Li Huan's actions with trepidation, the Arsenal fans were expecting Li Huan to play with Pique.However, Li Huan did not continue to complete his extraordinary moves, but unexpectedly poked the ball with his toe, and stabbed the ball between Valdez's wide-open legs.

Between Li Huan and the goal, Valdez's crotch is the biggest gap.

Valdés was watching Li Huan's every move nervously, thinking about how Li Huan would shoot, how he would block his shot, and how he would deal with Li Huan if he missed Pique. . . . . . .Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the ball flying towards him, and the target turned out to be his crotch.

Valdés hurriedly wanted to put his legs together so as not to suffer the humiliation of wearing his crotch, but Li Huan's toe poke was very powerful, not to mention it was so sudden, before Valdez's legs moved, the ball whizzed from his crotch. Department passed through.Valdés felt his crotch and calf feel cold, and his heart immediately shivered, because the goal was behind him, and he didn't need to look to know that the goal had been scored.

Sure enough, the ball went in, 3:1. Li Huan's stab shot went through two goals in a row.

"GOALGOALGOALGOAL... Goal through the crotch! The King of the Chiefs scored again! Turned the score into 3:1. This is not a beautiful goal, but it is definitely the most imaginative goal. Valdez's wicket is the only open space in Barcelona's penalty area, and other places have already been protected by Pique and Valdez... However, this only passage was seen by Li Huan, and he calculated it in advance After the final shot, Pique and Valdez were finally designed by Li Huan alone. Arsenal led by two goals. There was not much suspense in the game. Arsenal won at home. An away goal, and if it makes it 2-3, Barcelona's away trip cannot be considered a failure...  

After Li Huan scored the goal, he got up and ran towards the stands. Valdes and Pique were still standing there blankly, as if they were thinking about why Li Huan shot suddenly.He's only half way through.

However, no one sympathized with this pair of mistakes. The applause of the fans in the audience was given to Li Huan, who scored the goal. 3:1, this is a number that makes all Arsenal fans very happy, which means that they have always Only one foot has stepped into the semi-finals.Prior to this, only one defending champion had come so far, and that was Manchester United.

Everyone on the Arsenal bench stood up, waving their arms, rushed to the edge of the field, waved vigorously at the players on the field, and shouted the slogan "Arsenal must win".

Wenger couldn't keep his cool anymore, he rushed to the sidelines and hugged Fabregas who ran towards him.

"We won! We won!" Fabregas shouted excitedly shaking the professor's body.

"Yes! We have won!" Wenger shouted in Cesc Fabregas' ear. "As long as you persist for ten minutes, Barcelona will have no hope."

Guardiola had a very painful expression, and he muttered in his mouth: "Shooting? Piercing? What is this guy thinking?"

Guardiola really can't understand why Li Huan made such a shooting action so calmly under the attack of a defender like Pique and a goalkeeper like Valdés. You must know that Li Huan is not a striker , he is a defender!God!
Guardiola shook his head. This is the result every time he meets this Chinese. From Hoffenheim to Arsenal, he has never won against this Chinese. A strong man like Guardiola is also a little discouraged and desperate.But now is not the time for despair. Half of the two rounds have passed, and there is still time for Barcelona. As for whether there is still a chance, it is hard to say.Guardiola suppressed the depression in his heart, walked to the sidelines and encouraged his players loudly, telling them not to despair, there is still time, as long as they score another goal, there may be a bright future when they return to Camp Nou.

After a short period of despair, Barcelona finally cheered up. Under the leadership of the tough guy Guardiola, this Barcelona team has more resilience and unyielding spirit than before. At the same time, they are also more pragmatic. At this time, they have no extravagant hope of reversing Arsenal. Na, they will be happy to score another away goal.

In the last 15 minutes, Barcelona started a counterattack. As long as they have the ball at their feet, they will greatly premise the formation. Central defenders such as Pique and Buscos are all pressed near the center circle. Barcelona wants to burn the war to Arsenal. Near the penalty area, because even if the opponent loses the ball in front of the penalty area, the opponent is still far away from his goal. Even if Li Huan and Walcott are fast enough, they will not even have a chance to chase back .Moreover, even if the ball is lost in the frontcourt, the ball is still closer to the opponent's goal, the opponent's positioning space is more compressed, the passing area is narrow, the opponent's players are prone to panic, and the technical movements cannot be smooth, and it is easy for Barcelona to snatch the ball down.

Barcelona's half-court non-stop crossing at Arsenal, repeatedly crossing positions, waiting for the flanking assists, preparing for negligence in Arsenal's defense, and immediately coming to a tacit anti-offside, or a through ball like a scalpel .

If Chelsea and Manchester United are replaced, it is estimated that they will put down the iron barrel and see if Barcelona can find an opportunity, but Arsenal are too familiar with Barcelona. They understand the horror of Barcelona's tactics, so they did not stick to the penalty area. They are not allowed to do this in home games, lest they be resented by their own fans and ridiculed by their opponent's fans even if they win.

Arsenal directly expanded the scope of the scramble beyond the 30-meter dangerous area, and did not give Messi, Iniesta and others the opportunity to cooperate at the front of the penalty area.

In addition, Arsenal's short pass penetration is very strong. Once they have the ball, they can often pour the ball out of the crowd in the face of Barcelona's siege, forming a sharp counterattack and repeatedly threatening Barcelona's goal.

Faced with Arsenal's targeted tactical arrangements, Barcelona's counterattack was frustrated, and their morale was also frustrated. In the last 15 minutes, they still failed to save the defeat. The score of 3:1 did not change at all.

The first round of the quarter-finals has passed. Except for the focus battle between Barcelona and Arsenal, the other games were also very exciting. Real Madrid defeated Arsenal's arch-enemy Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at home and advanced The top 4 is almost a foregone conclusion.

Manchester United defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the away game, beating their old rival for the first time in 9 years, but the strength of the two teams is equal, and it is normal for anyone to win.

Before the game, everyone thought that Schalke 04 was playing soy sauce, but they reversed Inter Milan 5:2 in the away game and became the biggest upset in the quarter-finals. Schalke 04 entered the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Strong also almost became a reality.

In the first round of the quarter-finals, the teams that have advanced have basically come out. If there is no miracle for Real Madrid and Schalke 04, most of them will occupy two seats. The remaining Arsenal have a 80.00% chance of advancing , and Manchester United also has 80.00% hope.Basically, the semi-finals have been determined.

After the game, the most magnificent match between Arsenal and Barcelona in history was not discussed by many people, and no one talked about Real Madrid's four-goal sweep. Now the hot topic in the whole of Europe and the whole world football is why Inter Milan lost so badly. :2 was beaten so badly by Schalke 5.

The major European media were shocked.After the game, the criticisms and accusations against Inter Milan were overwhelming. "Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that Inter Milan's hope of advancing to a comeback is just an unrealistic dream; while "All Market" disclosed that Moratti went to Inter Milan's locker room after the game. Attacked the whole team.

Gazzetta dello Sport headlined "Nightmare night for Inter".Comments pointed out that Leonardo's main formation is "4-2 + imagination", but everything this night is more like "4-2 + fantasy".Inter Milan lost 2-5 at home to Schalke 04, the game is over, in fact, Inter Milan's Champions League journey is over.3-2 away to reverse Bayern?Not enough, even if Inter Milan play 3-0 away, it is not enough. Inter Milan needs to play 4-0 to advance, or a high score like 6-3, but this also requires too much imagination, this kind of madness How much unwavering belief is needed for Inter Milan to get unwavering support?Can you qualify again?Let's move on to the next topic.

"Bild" thought it was a great night for Schalke 04. The comment pointed out: "Inter Milan took the lead twice in the first half, but was equalized twice by Matip and Edu. In the second half, Raul froze the entire Meazza Everything going on at San Siro is like a psychological drama, Schalke 04 staged a great miracle in a difficult situation, and Inter Milan's embarrassing defense is not worthy of the title of European champions. The Black Legion were also mentally broken in their weakness after the derby. Who is the problem character? Leonardo's silence on the bench is worth a thousand words."

"The Sun" jokingly called Inter Milan a suicide exit: "Inter Milan had a fantastic start like Arsenal, but unlike Arsenal, Inter Milan's fantasy turned into a nightmare in the second half. Chivu was sent off and Inter Milan was also at home. Lost to Schalke 04. This is not the first time a German team has scored 5 goals in Italy, and Bayern Munich also slaughtered Juventus in the same way at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin last season."

"Daily Sports" first briefly talked about Barcelona's failure, and then began to talk about Inter Milan as if they were ashamed, "Inter Milan suffered a catastrophe at the Meazza Stadium, and we didn't see the Schalke 04 team today. I saw the Schalke 05 team. Chivu is undoubtedly the biggest culprit in Inter Milan's defense line, and the one who performed worse than Chivu was Motta."Thousands of fans left the stadium 20 minutes before the end of the game, and many more fans in the stadium chanting Mourinho's name, they are taunting who speaks for itself."
Subsequently, European bookmakers adjusted the winning odds. Arsenal was still the biggest favorite to win the championship, but Barcelona fell to seventh place, and the last place was Inter Milan, which suffered a disastrous home defeat.After Real Madrid got rid of the hat of Sixteen Lang in the Champions League, it has now become the second favorite in the Champions League, followed by Manchester United, ranked third, and Schalke 7 ranked fourth.
