The strongest winger

Chapter 879 Cruyff turned around? (three more)

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and the fans who left their seats to buy food outside the stadium slowly returned to their seats. They ate hamburgers or drank Coke.

Before the start of the second half, both sides did not make substitution adjustments, and they changed sides to fight again.

The kick-off was played by Barcelona at home, so the plot was not much different from the second half of the first half, and they completely suppressed Valencia.

With their super control, Barcelona firmly controlled the ball at their feet. According to the tactical arrangement formulated by Guardiola, they did not rush to pass the ball forward, but patiently conducted transmission in the midfield and the backcourt. They waited until the overall formation was completely dispersed before slowly moving forward.

Except for Aiello and David Villa harassing in front of the Valencia players, the other eight players all stood in their own positions, waiting for Barcelona's attack.

In fact, David Villa’s defensive position is also particular. He has to mark Harvey to the area of ​​the middle circle arc to prevent him from handling the ball easily. As for passing without the ball, it is not within his scope of responsibility. After all, he is still a forward and focuses on offense.

Aiello's work is relatively complicated. He not only needs to hold Alves and Puyol in place, but also runs to a good position and waits for a good opportunity to counterattack.

Harvey's organizational work in the middle was difficult to carry out smoothly under the defense of David Villa. Iniesta hesitated and retreated to respond.

But he soon discovered that there was an extra full-time bodyguard - Topal.

Iniesta didn't dare to neglect this, and he didn't dare to take the ball and turn around by himself. He was afraid that the tall, long-legged and tough Turk would give him a shot. Even if he took a free kick in the frontcourt from such a distance from the goal, it would be useless, so he passed the ball back to Xavi.

Under the interference of David Silva, Harvey had no choice but to distribute the ball to Maxwell on the left. The latter saw that there was no teammate in front of him, so he had to pass the ball back to Harvey who was leaning over.

With no way to play the ball forward, Barcelona's possession of the ball is basically in the midfield, and there is not much effective space in the midfield.

Seeing this, Ancelotti finally sat down on the coach's bench with peace of mind.

Topal and Javi Martinez strengthened the range of movement between each other, thus effectively controlling the three offensive players who are not physically strong, Messi, Iniesta and Fabregas.

Although it seems that Barcelona still has an absolute advantage on the field, this is not the case in fact. Barcelona's possession of the ball is within the invalid range. The fans of the home team in the stands gradually realized that the team did not completely control the game as it appeared on the surface, so the cheers were much smaller.

Jiang is still old and spicy. Ancelotti has long seen in the game that Harvey is the most critical point of this Barcelona team. As long as Harvey is restricted, then it will be difficult for Messi, Iniesta, or Fabregas to pose a direct threat in the frontcourt.

Guardiola frowned. If this situation continues, the situation on the field will likely tilt towards Valencia. Someone must be found to ease the pressure on Harvey's offensive organization.

Iniesta or Fabregas back?

He immediately denied this possibility, so he can only use his brains on the double midfielder, whether to use Busquets' position or Mascherano's position as the premise?

Obviously, it is undoubtedly Busquets who is more suitable to participate in Barcelona's frontcourt attack, and Mascherano's protection effect in the backcourt is better.

※※※

The premise of Busquets' position is immediate, and the offensive help it brings to Barcelona is very obvious. It effectively relieves Harvey's organizational pressure. In addition, he has a super ability to play the ball in short and medium distances.

In this way, Barcelona's offense flourished again.

The cheers in the stands were also wave after wave, giving the impression that a goal could be scored at any time.

But in fact it is still not the case. Iniesta suffers from the strict marking of Valencia's defenders and has no way to focus on offense.

The Catalan commentator shook his head and complained: "Since Iniesta assisted Messi to score, he has almost become invisible on the court. He can only see people when he retreats too much."

So whether it is Harvey or Busquets, try to pass the ball to Messi.

Fortunately, Messi was as active as ever, posing a great threat to Valencia every time he dribbled the ball.

Seeing Messi's performance, Guardiola, who was standing on the sidelines, had a little comfort.

He was thinking, should the players on the field sit down and adjust?
Then I looked at the time on the big screen. Thirteen minutes had passed in the second half, and it was time to make substitutions and adjustments.

Llorente and Pedro ran to the warm-up area respectively.

The on-site director just captured this scene, and immediately switched the camera to take advantage of the football's transmission in Barcelona's backcourt.

"Could it be that Barcelona are going to take the lead in making personnel adjustments?" Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said suspiciously: "This is more in line with the norm. After more than ten minutes in the second half, they have not overtaken the score. If it continues, it will also be a blow to the confidence of the players on the field. After all, Valencia, which owns Ai, only lost once in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final in the 2005-2006 season... In Chinese terms, I would rather believe it or not..."

He Wei said: "Barcelona's current lineup has an advantage on the field. If they make targeted substitutions, the home team will not be far from overtaking the score..."

Before he finished speaking, Messi took the ball back from Cesc Fabregas and rounded his left leg while running. Topal subconsciously shoveled over two meters away. As a result, Messi quickly stopped and accelerated, and accelerated past Cazorla, who was crossing to defend, and shot a cold arrow at the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Then there was a huge exclamation from the stands, what a pity...

No one thought that Messi would make a sudden effort, so they were a little underprepared.

But then Messi's continuous efforts proved that it was not that they were underprepared, but... Messi was too strong.

Valencia's defensive players looked very embarrassed in front of Messi. They even had to use both hands and feet to stop the ball at Messi's feet. However, doing so also brought Barcelona a lot of direct free kicks in the frontcourt.

A few minutes later, Barcelona made the first substitution adjustment of the game, and regular center Llorente came on to replace Fabregas.

※※※

The appearance of Llorente means that Barcelona's offense can become more abundant. With a height of 1.9m[-], he not only has first-class header skills, but also has obvious branding of Spanish players in his feet.

If the premise of Busquets' position brought changes to Barcelona's offense, then Llorente's playing will enrich Barcelona's scoring methods.

Messi, Iniesta and Harvey have reconnected, and the threat of offense has naturally risen in a straight line.

The number of shots that threatened Wang Xiaolei's goal has also increased. Everyone thinks that Barcelona's goal is just a matter of time...

Valencia was oppressed by Barcelona's offense for several minutes in a row, and finally passed the ball to the frontcourt with a long pass from Javi Martinez, temporarily relieving the pressure on the team's defense.

However, the angle of the long pass this time is a bit off. Ai Luo needs to run around the outside to catch the football.

When he was about to reach the corner of the left penalty area to control the football, Alves, the fastest defender in Barcelona's defense, was already on Aiello's forward route.

It didn't take long for Puyol to return to his position, on the line where Ai Luo might cut inside.

In order to be able to control the football at his feet, Ai Luo changed from facing the defensive player from the front to facing the defensive player with his back.

The home fans also broke out a hoarse booing. They thought that Ai Luo was afraid of losing the ball, so he put his body between the football and the defensive players.

After about two seconds, David Villa and David Silva ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.

"Hey, there's no chance for a quick break." He Wei shook his head and said.

At this time, David Villa suddenly accelerated and went around Mascherano to meet Ai Luo.

David Silva also slowly approached here from the front of the penalty area.

Both looked likely to respond to Aiello, and Aiello could also pass the ball to David Villa or David Silva.

Alves didn't give Ai Luo much space to think, and stuck to Ai Luo's back while David Villa walked forward.

In order to prevent the football under his feet from being broken, Ai Luo supported Alves with his left elbow, and at the same time pulled the ball out with the sole of his right foot to prevent Alves from stabbing the ball from behind.

Seeing that David Villa was getting closer and closer, Alves withdrew his right foot to prevent Aiello and David Villa from colliding with the wall or making the ball for the latter to accelerate into the penalty area.

In response, Ai Luo pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot and swung his right foot.

Alves thought that Ai Luo was going to pass the ball to David Villa, and moved his body a small step to the left, preparing to get stuck in the passing route of the two in advance.

At the same time, Puyol, who was standing on the inside line, suddenly felt a little familiar with this scene, like deja vu.

I saw that when Ai Luo swung his right foot, there was a small angle change of the supporting foot.

Could it be... Cruyff turned around?
For Puyol, this is a fake move that is still fresh in his memory. I think he was shaken twice by Ai Luo with this move in a row!
　Let’s have a small breakout for the National Day, today is the last three shifts of this month... I hope everyone will be happy.
