Chapter 505 This is the world's top superstar!
"Barcelona launched an attack from the left."

"Ronaldinho dribbled inside and Finnan clung to him. There was no chance."

"The ball was passed back to the left and passed to Zambrotta."

"Gambrotta takes the ball and crosses!"

"Later!"

"Deco!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"No. 14 minutes, just 4 minutes into the game, Deco scored a beautiful header from eight meters in front of the goal!"

……

After Deco scored the goal, he was so excited that he rushed out of the field.

The entire Camp Nou stadium, [-] fans, shouted in unison, chanting Deco's name.

That scene was so exhilarating!

Barcelona players also rushed towards Deco one after another, including Puyol, who was rumored to be at odds with Brazilian players, and others, also stepped forward to celebrate Deco's goal.

Coach Frank Rijkaard was also excitedly dancing on the sidelines.

He is obviously also very clear that this goal undoubtedly played a role in stabilizing the morale of Barcelona!
……

"One to zero!"

"Barcelona have made a pretty good start."

"This is an opportunity created from the left. Ronaldinho dribbled the ball to attract Finnan's attention, and then suddenly passed back to the left. Zambrotta followed up and made a cross, assisting Deco with a header!"

"This goal reflects Barcelona's consistent tactical coordination."

"In fact, judging from the ten minutes after the opening, Barcelona's ball possession and overall advantages are relatively obvious."

"On the contrary, Liverpool mainly focus on defensive counterattacks, but the Red Army did not play conservatively. They did not retreat to the front of their own penalty area to deploy defenses as previously rumored by the outside world. Instead, they actively pressed and pressed to create pressure."

"But in this way, the probability of the team making mistakes will inevitably increase."

"Let's take another look at this slow-motion replay."

"When Zambrotta crossed, Mohamed Sissoko obviously didn't follow Deco in time, which led to Deco's subsequent header, which was almost unmarked."

"This is definitely a big mistake, because before the start of the game, we said that Liverpool's header advantage is very obvious. If Sissoko followed Deco just now, I believe it would be very difficult for Deco to have a chance to score a header."

"But no matter what, mistakes have been made, Liverpool be careful."

…………

…………

Benitez patted his forehead hard.

His hairline had receded high, bald and a little oily.

The whole person kept shaking his head and walked back.

What he worried about before the game still happened.

Mohamed Sissoko has been absent from the game for too long, which caused him to be unable to keep up with the rhythm after the opening. He was thrown away by Deco just now. It is obvious that he will not smell the danger for a while.

Long-term absences will numb the players' senses and make them less sharp.

But he doesn't regret his choice, because Mascherano also lacks games for a long time, and the Argentine is less familiar with Liverpool's tactics, so he will still choose Mohamed Sissoko.

He understands the Mali midfielder and believes that he will gradually adapt as the game goes on.

As soon as he walked to the coach's bench, Benitez turned around again, quickly came to the sidelines, and shouted at the court.

"Dick, follow him, follow him closely, when he comes up, I will keep an eye on him!"

This conceded goal is not only the responsibility of Mohamed Sissoko. Didn't follow Zambrotta for the first time and give him an easy cross, which is also a big problem.

"Muhammad, it's okay, focus and focus on the game!"

"Steven, Harvey, you should put more pressure on your opponent and suppress the midfielder, understand?"

"Daniel, you have to keep up and let Jamie go out a little more."

"Let them pass halftime, pay attention, hold on tight, and pay attention to what should be released!"

Benitez shouted a few inexplicable words from the sidelines into the stadium.

Everyone knew that he was improvising, but no one except Liverpool knew what he was talking about.

…………

…………

After the team conceded a goal first, Yang Yang gritted his teeth depressingly, and let out a heavy breath.

He forced himself to calm down and continue to play focused.

Then, he heard an instruction from Benitez on the sidelines.

Benitez is reminding Dirk to keep up with Zambrotta, let Gerrard and Xabi Alonso put more pressure on Xavi and Thiago Motta, suppress Barcelona's midfielder, let Daniel Agger keep a close eye on Saviola, and let Carragher move to the right.

At the same time, he also kept the team compact, allowing Barcelona to press through the half.

This is the way Barcelona like to have the ball, they like to go halfway.

And the last sentence should be put, it is about Crouch.

What Benitez meant was that Crouch should stop forcing Puyol, because in Liverpool's pre-match tactics, the coaching staff meant that it was best to let Barcelona's ball pass to Puyol.

Why?

Because Puyol is a right-footed player but plays left central defender, which makes him uncomfortable and has a greater risk of passing and catching the ball, Crouch has to keep an eye on another central defender, the Mexican player Rafael Marcos.

……

In fact, after the opening, Liverpool did not play badly.

Gerrard sent a direct pass, and Yang Yang made a pass from the left, but Crouch did not keep up and missed an opportunity.

Ronaldinho took the ball in from the left a few times and got caught in the double-team of Finnan, Gerrard and Carragher.

Among them, in No. 12 minutes, he fell down in the penalty area and tried to get a penalty kick, but the referee did not pay attention to it.

Arbeloa marks Messi full-time. The Argentine players did not perform very well after the start. Barcelona's offense is mainly concentrated on the left side, and the right side is basically misfired.

This is not surprising. Yang Yang is restraining Belletti in the frontcourt, and Messi is restricted by Arbeloa. Barcelona's right attack channel cannot be opened, so they can only go left more.

……

Ronaldinho is indeed too strong!

Although many people said this season that he failed to maintain the peak form of last season, the Brazilian is still amazing. Almost as long as the ball reaches his feet, anyone, even three players double-team him at the same time. He can protect the ball and pass it out.

He can pass people with ease, as if any defensive player is useless in front of him.

The goal just now seemed to be a cross from Zambrotta, but before that, Ronaldinho's goal allowed Zambrotta to throw away Dirk, receiving and crossing at the same time.

This is the world's top superstar!

Yang Yang has to admit that he is still too far away from Ronaldinho no matter his personal ability or the wisdom of playing football.

But this game he wants to win!
This desire to win has become more urgent with Deco's header!

…………

…………

With Benitez's successive adjustments, Liverpool stabilized their position.

Daniel Agger took on more of the duties of keeping an eye on Saviola, and Carragher was able to free up his hands to help defend Finnan.

In this way, the defense of Liverpool's entire right half area has been stabilized.

Restricting Barcelona's left, Liverpool's defensive task is mostly completed, and Arbeloa has restricted Messi on the right, Barcelona's two wings can no longer gallop as they please.

After the back line stabilized, Benitez immediately made adjustments, and the team's entire back line slowly moved forward.

This is also the tactic that Liverpool has practiced in the past few days, because Barcelona is not good at playing behind, especially when Eto'o is absent, they are more accustomed to passing or relying on the personal ability of the players, rather than through the back.

In this way, Liverpool dared to press the defense line out.

Barcelona's defense pressed across the half-time, Liverpool's defense tried to press out of the penalty area, which made the formation of both sides flattened, while Barcelona's back revealed a huge space.

This is what Benitez mentioned when he focused on attacking before the game, and Liverpool countered the key offensive area.

Crouch and Kurit are two points, and Yang Yang is a sharp knife!

It is easy to say in theory, but it is very difficult to play it on the court.

Barcelona's excellent ability to pass and control the ball, the players' personal abilities are outstanding, and they occupy the advantage of the devil's home court. This in itself leaves little chance for Liverpool to counterattack, especially in the first half.

And in the few opportunities, it is not easy to quickly play threats and cooperate.

Liverpool has targeted tactics, and Barcelona also has targeted tactics.

If they can't grab the high point, they will try to control the second point.

The Red Army counterattacked and hit near the front line several times. Although they all grabbed the first landing point, the second landing point was never passed well.

Belletti followed Yang Yang all the way.

Obviously, the strategy used by Rijkaard is exactly the same as Benitez's strategy against Messi.

He would rather sacrifice Belletti's attack on the right than freeze Yang Yang.

Of course, all this is not unexpected by Benitez.

As early as before the game, he had repeatedly told the players that Barcelona would dominate the first half.

On the one hand, their physical fitness is still there, and they are fighting at home, so the attacking firepower must be very fierce.

Facing Barcelona in the first half, if Liverpool can stabilize the defense, it will be considered a success. The counterattack can only be based on luck. The team really wants to exert strength in the second half.

……

The game also proceeded as Benitez expected before the game.

The only error was the one by Mohamed Sissoko in the No. 14 minute, resulting in a conceded goal.

After that, Liverpool stabilized their defense, and Barcelona launched several offensives, but failed to break through Liverpool's goal.

Although Barcelona were given four or five shots, they were either long shots or barely kicked. There were no truly threatening shots, but Liverpool themselves paid the price of two yellow cards.

Once, Daniel Agger pushed down Saviola from behind, and once, Dirk Dirk shoveled Zambrotta up front.

In the 308th minute of the game, Yang Yang got a chance on the left. When he was about to dribble the ball, Belletti made a decisive foul and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
