Chapter 456 Are You Such a Bully?
"Southampton's corner kick, Toni Kroos will take the penalty!"

"Falling into the penalty area, Varane headed the goal!"

The entire Sun Life Stadium roared, and more than 7 fans couldn't help but exclaimed for Varane's header that was a little bit higher than the crossbar. If it was a little lower, the goal would have been scored!
Varane hugged his head hard, feeling very depressed because he couldn't hold down the ball just now.

This header is too chasing angle!
"Southampton played very aggressively after the start, and it seemed that they didn't take the mighty Barcelona into their eyes at all!"

"Barcelona players breathed a sigh of relief, luckily they didn't score!"

But this breath has not been completely released, and Southampton's offensive is pressing up again.

As the game unfolded, everyone gradually became aware of Southampton's strategy.

Modric and Toni Kroos formed a double midfielder, firmly controlling Southampton's midfield.

At first glance, the defensive ability of the two players is not outstanding, but the actual effect shown in the game is very satisfactory.

It was difficult for Barcelona to pass the ball smoothly through Southampton's midfield.

At the same time, the pass and reception between the two players is quite tacit, always keeping an appropriate distance and echoing each other.

This created a steady stream of momentum for Southampton's offensive after the opening, and planned waves of offensives.

Vidal, who is in a relatively high position, also played very active after the opening, and he was very active on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Just kidding, it's against Barcelona!

Who doesn't want to show their faces in front of Barcelona and the bosses and chairmen of the rich teams in the stands?

Neymar also looked quite excited. Once he retreated to respond to a pass from midfielder Modric, Neymar suddenly shifted with a big foot, crossed the entire field, and landed at the feet of Gareth Bale on the right.

It was a great pass, good footwork and Gareth Bale didn't stop too badly.

After a stop, left-back Alba came up, and Gareth Bale took advantage of the trend to dribble the ball inward, giving full play to the advantage of the winger's inverse foot, and at the same time attracted the attention of Alba and Busquets.

Even Pique in the middle will focus on Gareth Bale.

But at this moment, Vidal suddenly jumped in from the back row and went straight into the penalty area.

Bell flicked the ball lightly and put it in front of Vidal, and the Chilean sent the ball forward without stopping.

I saw that Ibrahimovic in the penalty area had blocked Puyol behind him, turned around and kicked directly after receiving the ball.

Wow! ! ! !
The entire Sun Life Stadium exclaimed again.

But it's a pity that Ibrahimovic's shot was not adjusted correctly, and the bottom line was crooked!
The Swedish center waved his hand depressedly, but gave Vidal a thumbs up.

The teammates cooperated very well in this kick and gave it well, but he didn't play well himself!
But even knowing that he didn't score, Puyol was still very depressed.

Damn Xipi, they kept grabbing me and beating me. Is it clear that the chariots and horses are bullying me for my short stature?

Did you bully people like that?
Although Ibrahimovic didn't score a goal, seeing Puyol's depressed expression, he still grinned and kept laughing.

What makes your opponent feel uncomfortable is your greatest pleasure.

Especially when the opponent is Barcelona!
In the chairman's stand of the Sun Life Stadium, seeing Southampton being very active, Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost firmly suppressed the two central defenders of Barcelona, ​​allowing the teammates behind him to launch the offensive as they wished.

This made Barcelona chairman Russell feel very depressed.

He was the one who advocated selling the Swedish center at a low price, and he still sold it to Southampton!
But who would have thought that two years later, instead of falling, the Swedish center seems to have become stronger!

Not only stronger, but also so active against Barcelona!
It is foreseeable that regardless of whether Zlatan Ibrahimovic will score in this game, early tomorrow morning, major media around the world will definitely use this old news to make news.

These days, is there any news material more gimmicky than abusing the old master?
"Southampton's training system is indeed unique. I don't think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is like a veteran who will be 31 years old at all. He has maintained his physical fitness quite well!" Florentino couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart.

The Swedish center once asked his agent to recommend himself and planned to join Real Madrid.

Florentino was also moved for a while, wanting to win Ibrahimovic.

But in the end, due to various reasons, Ibrahimovic failed to become the second Figo in the end.

Thinking about it now, what a pity!
If there is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, plus a Cristiano Ronaldo, then activate Kaka, plus a Benzema, how luxurious is Real Madrid's frontcourt attacking lineup?
Yang Huan smiled and said nothing. If there is something unique about Southampton's training system, it is willing to invest and pay attention to the professional opinions of professionals. These are probably the two points.

But he could also see that Ibrahimovic was holding back his anger tonight and wanted to vent.

Two years, the humiliation he suffered in Barcelona two years ago, he must avenge tonight!

But things in the world are sometimes so helpless.

When Ibrahimovic wanted to score more, it turned out to be more difficult to score.

It's not that Southampton didn't create opportunities up and down. In just 10 minutes, Southampton shot a total of six very high-quality shots, four of which came from Ibrahimovic.

But in the end, either the shot was blocked, or the shot went sideways, which was really depressing.

The fans in the stands watched with joy. They saw Barcelona and Southampton fighting like a needle point, and Southampton even had a considerable advantage.

How does this look like a newly promoted Premier League horse?

Neymar on the left became the most active player in the game. Every time he took the ball in the frontcourt, he could almost create a threat. On the contrary, Gareth Bale on the right seemed a little quiet.

When the game progressed to No. 205 minutes, Bielsa, who had been squatting on the sidelines and watching silently, finally couldn't sit still.

Stand up, go to the sidelines, command the players on the pitch.

"Belsa is commanding on the spot. It seems that he wants to adjust his tactics. What do he plan to do?"

"Oh, Gareth Bale moved to the left and Neymar went to the right."

"Let's see if Gareth Bale, who is back on the left wing, improves."

Facts have proved that Gareth? Bell is obviously more familiar with the left.

Southampton's first attack after switching to the left, Barcelona wanted to pass a high ball to Messi, Harvey Martinez stepped in behind, overwhelmed Messi, and headed the ball back to the midfield.

Toni Kroos stopped the ball with one kick and pushed it to Modric.

The Croatian midfielder took the ball and turned to face the attacking direction. Seeing that Gareth Bale had raised his hand on the left, he lightly kicked a through ball to let the ball pass between Alves and Puyol.

Gareth Bale started quickly, like a sprinting Ferrari, forcibly overtaking with speed, passed Alves, stopped the ball, waded into the penalty area, and volleyed with his left foot before Puyol caught up.

Everyone in the audience let out an ah, and the ball crossed the right post and crossed the baseline.

But this shot made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

That speed, is it too fast?
"Gareth Bell?" Roselle was stunned.

Just now he was still at least one body behind Alves, but suddenly he overtook forcibly from behind.

This speed is too fast!
Florentino's eyes also brightened. Gareth Bell's speed is indeed fast enough.

I don't know how it compares with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo?Who is faster?

As if stimulated by Gareth Bale's hurricane overtaking this time, Southampton's offensive accelerated again.

Barcelona once pressed Southampton half-court. Midfielders Harvey and Iniesta passed the ball back and forth outside the 30-meter area, trying to find opportunities, but Southampton suddenly increased their pressure.

When Iniesta knocked back, Vidal intercepted the ball. Modric and Harvey started fighting. After the Croatian touched the ball first, he made an emergency stop, got rid of Harvey's pressing, and passed it to Toni Kroos.

After the German played in Southampton for a season, his style of play is obviously much more capable than a year ago, but he is as stable as ever. He did not choose to take the risk of being divided into two wings, but passed it directly to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede blocked Pique with his body, faced the incoming ball, and picked the ball directly to the left.

Gareth Bale faced Alves. After the ball came, he stopped the ball behind Alves with his left foot, and then quickly started to plug it in.

Alves was well prepared this time, and he followed Gareth Bale tightly all along, not letting the Welsh get rid of him.

But Gareth Bell didn't choose to go it alone this time. Instead, he used his own speed to forcibly create a gap, then made a diagonal pass with his left foot and passed the ball to the arc area in the middle of the penalty area.

Alves froze for a moment, turned around and found that Puyol and Pique were following Ibrahimovic and were still near the middle circle.

Not looking for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is it looking for...

With this thought in mind, I saw a thin figure rushing forward on the right.

Although Alba's reaction and speed were quite fast, Neymar still grabbed the left side of the top of the arc and stabbed the ball into the penalty area.

To say that Alba's reaction is fast enough, and his body is also very flexible. As soon as he saw Neymar's movements, he immediately got stuck inside, trying to block between Neymar and the goal.

But as soon as the Brazilian player caught up with the ball, his body naturally made a fake move to hit the goal immediately, which tricked Alba into raising his foot to block it.

But Neymar didn't hit right away, but adjusted one very quickly, and then volleyed with his left foot again.

The two actions in a row were almost completed in the blink of an eye, making everyone present overwhelmed.

When everyone reacted, they found that the ball had rolled towards the right post of the goal along a straight line.

Then, the ball rolled into the goal line and narrowly crashed into the side net inside the right post!

Beep! ! ! ! !
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the whistle and the long sound of the goal from the on-site commentator, Neymar rushed out of the stadium excitedly, rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands, celebrating the goal excitedly.

His teammates quickly caught up behind him and picked him up by the waist!

The Brazilian player's shot is really beautiful and wonderful!

Alba was completely played by him!

"Southampton's counterattack this time was quite capable and wonderful!"

"We can see that Gareth Bale, who returned to the left, was very active, and this assist was quite good!"

"It seems that the head coach of Southampton, Bielsa, should really think about it again. Should he arrange Bell on the left side instead of the right side that he is unfamiliar with?"

The atmosphere of the entire Sun Life Stadium was completely ignited by the goal!
All the fans cheered wildly and shouted loudly!

Perhaps many of them are not familiar with Neymar, but this goal made them all remember this thin Brazilian player and his magical footwork!
　The second outbreak broke out, asking for support from monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, thank you everyone!
