Jagged Wings

Chapter 112 Two Veterans
Valdes, who was watching the live broadcast in the locker room, was ashamed. He originally planned to use his end to exchange for Arsenal's chance, but he didn't expect the opponent to score the goal.

So what's the point of this red card?Valdez couldn't think of anything else to do but to prove his own insanity.

On the court, Barcelona's offense continued. Rijkaard replaced Van Bommel with Larsson, and they were already at the bottom of the boat.

The 34-year-old Larsson is a Swedish international. He has delicate skills and often shows his extraordinary experience and value in the Barcelona team.

Rijkaard could use him instead of hopeful Messi, apparently thinking Larsson would be more effective.

This is indeed the case. In real history, after Larsson came off the bench, he helped Barcelona reverse Arsenal with two assists.

Reyes knew Larson's role, but he didn't care at all, instead he sneered slightly.

The situation is different, and different substitutions have different effects.Now Barcelona has lost a defender, and then removed a midfielder and replaced it with a striker. This is definitely a desperate way of playing.

Iniesta came on in the second half and became the man who changed the game. He is very stable with the ball and it is difficult to be intercepted.This time, he passed the ball to Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho passed it to Deco, and Deco shot a long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

Deco's long shot was blocked by Campbell.Coincidentally, the football blocked by Campbell just bounced in front of Larsson. This is Barcelona's opportunity!
The vicissitudes of life Larsson did not seek credit, taking advantage of the moment Toure pounced, he used the inside of his right foot to push the ball to Eto'o. Eboue raised his hand to signal offside, but the referee Hauge did not interrupt the game.

Eto'o stopped the ball with his left foot and scored with his right foot at a small angle 5 meters in front of the goal.

There was suspense again in the game, Barcelona recovered a goal!
After the goal, Eto'o did not celebrate, but rushed into the goal, held the ball in his arms and ran towards the middle circle.

"Barcelona, ​​who attacked half of the game, finally scored a goal, but this goal seems a little far away? A large part of the credit for Eto'o's goal should be attributed to Larsson. It is Larsson's selflessness. Made his goal!"

The game has progressed to the 80th minute!

Then Arsenal made another substitution, Wenger replaced Henry with Bergkamp and replaced Senderos.

Their idea of ​​keeping this score to the end is already obvious.

Bergkamp didn't expect that he would have the chance to play in the last game. He tucked the hem of his jersey into his shorts excitedly, bouncing around the sidelines to get ready to play.

Wenger's exhortation is still in my ears.

"Dennis, this is your last game. I have no other requirements for you. The only thing you have to do is to keep the ball under your feet. At worst, you must destroy the opponent's offense and prevent them from taking the ball."

Bergkamp's eyes lit up: "Any way?"

"as long as you like it!"

Then the fourth official raised his card to signal Bergkamp to play.

"Barcelona sent the 35-year-old Larsson to revitalize their offense, and Arsenal are not to be outdone, they sent the older 37-year-old Bergkamp."

"Indeed! At critical moments in such an important game, the experience and mentality of the veterans often play an important role!"

Gilberto saw Eto'o score in the locker room and scratched his hair in frustration.He was off the field, but the opponent scored a goal, which made him feel even more guilty.He can only pray, pray that Barcelona will not score again for the rest of the time.

With four strikers sent, Barcelona is now completely giving it a go.

The situation was very tense, and Reyes also returned to his penalty area to participate in the defense. He scored one goal and one indirect assist in this game, and has been selected as the best player in the game by the commentator.

Barcelona has never given up on the attack, which is admirable, and their fighting spirit is still strong.Now the team has only one thought: goal!Before the final whistle of the game, they kept hitting goals, and the outcome will be decided at that time.

Faced with Barcelona's crazy offensive momentum, Wenger also became a little anxious. He stood on the sidelines, paced up and down, waved to the field from time to time, and shouted loudly.

What he yelled was one word: "Defend! Defend!"

After playing, Bergkamp was also involved in defense, but he never forgot his own job-offense.

Barcelona is attacking fiercely now, and they need to use appropriate counterattacks to suppress their arrogance, and Bergkamp has always remembered Wenger's advice.

"Then—look at mine!"

Putting on five defenders, Arsenal's defense used reinforced concrete defense to break Barcelona's ball again, and then passed it to Bergkamp who was running forward, and Pamp rushed forward without hesitation. The speed is not fast, so it gave the Barcelona defenders the opportunity to return to the defense, and at the same time gave his teammates the opportunity to advance.

Of course, only Reyes and Ljungberg came up.

At this time, not conceding the ball and not giving the opponent a chance to counterattack is Arsenal's first choice!
Reyes didn't worry about Bergkamp's ball being taken away. Although the 37-year-old Ice Prince's indicators including physical fitness and speed were declining, his skills had reached the point of perfection!

Think about Bergkamp's turning around and pulling the ball past someone, what a terrifying combination of technology and man-ball ability?

Some people even think that his goal surpassed Maradona's five consecutive goals and is the most beautiful goal in football history!
Want to break Bergkamp's ball?no way!
Bergkamp dribbled past Iniesta with a deflected smash, then broke through the center circle and was now in Barcelona's half.It took Arsenal only seven seconds from receiving the ball to hitting the opponent's half. If it was a pass, it might be faster.

Seeing that Bergkamp passed Iniesta with ease, Deco, who was not physically strong enough to catch up, dared not rush forward. He followed Bergkamp and ran like a wingman of a lead plane. Bergkamp's dribbling escort.

Bergkamp dribbled the ball while observing the situation.Barcelona's retreat is fairly fast - of course, mainly because he is slow with the ball.However, he hasn't had time to retreat into the penalty area and turn Arsenal's counterattack into a positional battle, so now is an opportunity he can take advantage of.

With Reyes and Ljungberg up the wings, left or right, he doesn't have many options.Of course, as long as he wants, he can also choose to continue dribbling the ball himself.

As Reyes ran, he looked back at Bergkamp's dribble, and Bergkamp naturally noticed this too.

He did a good job protecting the ball, and Deco never found a chance to get off the ball.

Bergkamp, ​​who was dribbling and observing, suddenly made a feint, making Deco think that he was going to break through from the right, and his center of gravity moved there.Bergkamp rubbed his right foot very quickly, and the football flew over the heads of the Barcelona defenders and flew to the left side of the penalty area.

That was exactly the direction Reyes was running!
Now Barcelona is playing three backs, so now it is four defenses and three defenses, and Puyol is in charge of Reyes' side.Bergkamp and Reyes have a good understanding. The power of this pass is just right, which not only allows Reyes to receive the ball, but also ensures that Puyol will not steal the ball halfway.

Reyes left-footed off Bergkamp's pass and Puyol defended just a meter in front of him.

The 27-year-old Golden Retriever Lion King is at the peak of his physical strength, and he still has enough strength to run the whole game.

Reyes didn't stop, he ran forward immediately after receiving the ball.

Puyol is known for his ferocity, and it is never a wise idea to stop the ball on the spot when playing against him.

The idea of ​​Reyes also proved his foresight, he paused for a while, it attracted Puyol's personal flying shovel.

"You're fooled!" Reyes smiled at the corner of his mouth, leaned forward and leaned back, pulling the football back.

Puyol rushed to nothing!
Reyes, who had passed Puyol, dribbled the ball towards the center without hesitation, and Marcos hurried over to defend him.

Reyes smiled and knocked the ball across to Bergkamp in the middle.At this time, the Ice Prince had already inserted into the front of Barcelona's penalty area, and there was only one substitute goalkeeper, Hercula, left between him and the goal.

Herkula was still standing in front of the door, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to attack or not.

Marcos quickly turned around and ran towards Bergkamp. In the end, Herkula decided to attack. He wanted to cooperate with Marcos to compress Bergkamp's dribbling space.

But Bergkamp didn't give him a chance, he tucked the football into the gap between Hercula and Marcos, and Reyes received the ball on the outside.

At this time, there is mostly an empty goal in front of him. As long as he pushes lightly, the football will enter the goal!

He didn't let the opportunity slip by either!
With one stroke, the ball goes in!
With 5 minutes to go, Arsenal led 3-1 and Barcelona had no chance of winning the game.
