Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 734 Critical Moments
Newcastle organized the attack and quickly pushed the ball through the midfield. Although Newcastle's midfielder is technically inferior to Barcelona's midfielder, but similarly, Barcelona's midfielder is not as good as Newcastle in defense.

Ibrahimovic was withdrawn from the penalty area, Ribery was absent, and there was one less organizer in Newcastle's midfield. Then Ibrahimovic will take on more organizational tasks. He is also an indispensable part of Newcastle's tactics.

Ibrahimovic holds the ball in the midfield. Because the average height of Barcelona players is short and the confrontation ability is not enough, Ibrahimovic is much safer to hold the ball than Nie Fei. With his height of 1.9 meters, he wants to be on the basis of height. It is relatively simple to protect the ball in the press of the Barcelona midfielder who is less than 1.8 meters, not to mention that Ibrahimovic's own skills have reached a very high level.

After controlling the ball, Ibrahimovic has keenly noticed that Nie Fei is inserting along the right. After dodging Mota's grabbing the ball, Ibrahimovic immediately raised his foot and made a beautiful direct pass!

The ball flew between Oleg and Sylvinho, and Nie Fei, who was plugged in, received the ball, and after taking the ball one step forward,
Nie Fei immediately took a long shot with his left foot before Puyol jumped over to defend!

The ball flew over the penalty area like lightning, and Valdez jumped up, but only after he saved it did he realize that he was a step slower!
With a crisp sound, the ball hit the post heavily and bounced back into the penalty area. The Newcastle fans sighed, but then the sigh turned into cheers!

Shearer appeared at the point where the ball landed, and made a supplementary shot without stopping the ball!
At this moment, Valdez, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and miraculously blocked the ball that was about to fly into the goal in the air!Then he pressed the ball tightly under his body, and did not give Newcastle another chance to make up the shot!
The smile on Shearer's face froze. He didn't expect that such a close shot would not score!Although the route of the ball flying back to the penalty area is very irregular, it is not comfortable to shoot the ball to the dead corner, and Puyol is about to pounce, he has no chance to stop the ball, but such a big empty goal, just like that. Feet should go in too!
Valdés, the goalkeeper who has been scored three times by Newcastle, made a miraculous save!He still caught Shearer's supplementary shot even though his body was out of balance, and he didn't give Newcastle any more chances!
There was a lot of regret in the stands. Everyone knew that if the lead became three goals, then Barcelona's psychological defense would completely collapse!However, Valdes has changed all that!
This shot failed to score, which made Newcastle's high morale begin to decline, and the Barcelona players would have infinite courage after escaping from the dead!
People are so strange sometimes, after escaping a catastrophe, the psychology can be even more encouraged!

"Pay attention to defense!" Mourinho stood up from the sidelines and shouted to the court for the first time in this game: "Especially during this period of time! Be careful, don't let them score goals!"

Mourinho is very clear that if Barcelona can quickly score a goal after avoiding the kill just now, their morale will be unprecedentedly high, and the advantages accumulated by Newcastle in front of them will disappear!The charm of the two-round knockout match also lies in this. The comparison between home and away goals makes the result of the game endless possibilities. No team can relax before the end of the two rounds!
This is a critical moment. If Barcelona scores a goal during this period, they are fully capable of scoring another goal with [-] minutes left before the end of the game!At that time, the score of [-] to [-] will be enough for Barcelona to advance to the next round, and Newcastle will lose the two rounds with a huge advantage!

He seldom yelled on the sidelines, and because of this, when he yelled these words, the Newcastle players on the field immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

Valdez stood up from the ground and launched an attack by throwing the ball. At this time, except for Shearer who ran up to interfere with Puyol who took the ball, the other Newcastle players rushed back into their own half immediately!

Puyol dodged Shearer and gave the ball to Belletti on the right. Belletti rushed forward with the ball, handed the ball to Albertini and ran forward again. Handed the ball back to him.

Belletti drove straight in with the ball, and Newcastle's players naturally wouldn't let him dribble close to the penalty area so easily. Although there was no full-time left midfielder, Janus quickly greeted him.

Belletti did not break through forcefully, but handed the ball to Harvey who was a little ahead. As soon as Harvey took the ball and turned around, he immediately saw Makelele.

Newcastle's defense was impeccable.

Xavi still controlled the ball under the pressure of Makelele. The skills of Spanish players are quite good, not to mention the "fourth" players in Barcelona, ​​from Guardiola to Xavi to Ines Tower and Fabregas, their ball-handling skills and wide vision are quite commendable.

After getting out of the way, Harvey immediately distributed the ball to Iniesta on the right. Iniesta took the ball to the middle, attracting Hart to follow him, then immediately turned around and knocked the ball It was given to Belletti who was plugging in from the sideline. Belletti didn't take too much, but kicked the ball directly into the penalty area before Janus came up to defend!
Dawson and Eto'o jumped up at the same time, competing for the ball!
Dawson is eight centimeters taller than Eto'o, but although Eto'o is not good at headers, as a black man, his jumping ability is exceptionally good, and he is stuck in the front point, so he is still in line with Dao Sen was in a fight.

In the end, it was Dawson who was superior, grabbing the ball in front of Eto'o and pushing the ball out of the bottom line, a corner kick.

Harvey took a left corner kick, and Puyol, who got an assist, made a high-speed jump from the back row. There was an obvious gliding movement in the air, and he rushed to the top ahead of Essien!
Petr Cech made another amazing save, he almost pinned the ball down on the goal line!And half of his body is already inside the goal, one can imagine how thrilling this save is!
Two minutes later, Barcelona made a comeback, Belletti shot 2 meters from the right side of the penalty area, Petr Cech again saved the ball from the baseline, and then Lucio cleared Xavi's corner kick in front of the goal.

Seeing that Barcelona's attack started to become fierce again, Newcastle fans couldn't help but start to worry, but Mourinho was relieved at this time. With the current state of Newcastle players, they will definitely be able to make Barcelona as in the previous game. The attack was unsuccessful.

Hart's hard tackle broke the ball off Iniesta's feet, before he immediately passed the ball to Essien in the middle, and Newcastle launched a counterattack.

Essien handed the ball to Nie Fei, Nie Fei made a long pass to the frontcourt, Shearer jumped on top of Oleg's head and shook his head directly to attack the goal. This long shot was easily caught by Valdes.

Seeing that this attack was unsuccessful, the Newcastle players began to quickly return to the defense. When Barcelona just pushed the ball near the center circle, they saw helplessly that there were already seven or eight players in Newcastle's half. Newcastle players.

Harvey, who is in control of the ball, is a little helpless. This is what they have felt the most since these two games. The damn Newcastle always let Barcelona's offense be carried out in a half court with [-] or [-] players on both sides. Such a defense It is the biggest headache for Barcelona, ​​who is accustomed to advancing layer by layer.

"give me!"

A familiar shout came from ahead, and Harvey raised his head, just in time to see that Ronaldinho had withdrawn from the front and was charging him for the ball on the left side of the midfield.

Harvey sighed in his heart. It seems that this is the only way. Since he can't get in through the midfield organization, and Ronaldinho in the front is also unable to perform due to lack of space to attack, it is better to let Ronaldinho start from the midfield. Organization, that may be able to have an unexpected effect.

Although Ronaldinho took the ball near the middle circle, Essien still did not forget his mission. He followed Ronaldinho not far from him all the time. Seeing that Ronaldinho was about to take the ball, he rushed up immediately.

Ronaldinho took the ball and turned around, just in time to meet Essien who rushed up.

Essien intends to quickly stretch out his foot to break the ball, but Ronaldinho pulled the ball back one by one, and Essien easily poked an empty hole.

Essien didn't get impatient when he failed to stop the ball immediately, but immediately stabilized his center of gravity and stared at the ball under Ronaldinho's feet with all his attention.

Ronaldinho paused for a moment, and suddenly swung the outside of his left foot to the side!
Essien reacted immediately, moved half a step sideways, just in front of Ronaldinho, and then he was about to stick to it, and at the same time stretched his feet to steal the ball!
But Ronaldinho's left foot quickly retracted from the side of the ball, and then turned to the inside of his left foot to buckle the ball to the right. The ball rolled smoothly from the opposite direction. Ronaldinho immediately rushed and caught up. Ball!

Toss the oxtail!The stunt of the Brazilian elf is reproduced!

"Damn it!" Essien cursed in his heart, but his physical fitness was really amazing. Even though he had almost lost his center of gravity, he still forcibly twisted his body and chased after Ronaldinho who had passed him. !

It's a pity that Ronaldinho didn't intend to continue to dribble forward by himself. In this many contests, the Brazilian has clearly known how indestructible Newcastle's overall defense is!
So he immediately raised his foot and made a 30-meter long pass!
The ball is like a rainbow, drawing a wonderful arc over St. James' Park!
