Chapter 196 Diving
"Dangerous!" Lorenzo opened his mouth wide. He never expected Eindhoven's counterattack to come so quickly.

The fans behind the Barcelona goal also held their breath, waiting for the next second to come.Some female fans even covered their eyes, not daring to watch what happened next.

As the youngest player on the field, Peperena didn't react at all, but just followed the body's muscles to react and made an unqualified save.

It was this nondescript saving posture that saved Barcelona and the Nou Camp.

The ball touched Reina's pressed fingertips, bounced to the left post, and rolled off the baseline.

Before Renner got up from the ground, De Boer rushed forward and hugged this guy who was a few months younger than Bai Xiaotian.

Although born in Madrid, Reina started his career at Barcelona.As an excellent goalkeeper, Reina was transferred to the first team after two years of starting in the Barcelona B team.

Both Kaiser's Bremer and Barcelona's Lorenzo have the same idea. In the Europa League knockout round, they both started the team's rookie goalkeeper. It seems that this method can confuse the enemy.

Clearly, both coaches were right.Reina's Europa League opener pulled the team back from the brink.It seems that the European War is really a gambler for the team to increase the value of its goalkeeper.

"Keep it! Barcelona's goalkeeper blocked this must -enter shot. Pepereda, only eighteen -year -old guy this year, this is his first appearance in the European War. He used this rescue to disappear the questioning of him and Lorenoso before the game. Pipraina, this is another rising show in Barcelona." Li promoted his own rookie, and Perlener was in the game by Liverpool in advance because of this game.

The fans at the scene were boiling, and the audience in front of the TV was also boiling.

I thought it was a one-sided game, but Eindhoven played an extremely sharp counterattack in the away game.This time, no one made irresponsible remarks anymore. The attacking level of the Eredivisie team is indeed among the top in the world.Especially Bai Xiaotian's astonishing inner cut left an indelible impression on everyone present.

Only Lorenzo stood on the sidelines with a tense face. He didn't want to see Eindhoven's attack at all.No matter how dull the game was, he didn't want to see the Dutchman dribble past the midfield.

He looked at Reina in front of him, and then at the goal post. "Sure enough, it's Camp Nou!" Van Nistelrooy got up from the ground and stood in the penalty area with the panting Bai Xiaotian waiting for the corner kick.

Van Bommel's corner kick was taken off by the excited Reina with both hands. No matter how high Bai Xiaotian jumped, he couldn't compete with the goalkeeper for the air supremacy in the penalty area.

The game went on for more than an hour, and the score was still 0-0.No one thought that Eindhoven would be in a stalemate with Barcelona at the Nou Camp, and Barcelona, ​​which has more than N stars, became more and more cautious.

On average, for every three attacks, Eindhoven can seize a chance to counterattack, and the counterattack is extremely sharp.Under Gretz's instruction, the backcourt players accurately searched for Bai Xiaotian with big feet, and Van Nistelrooy was the first choice for Bai Xiaotian to ferry the header.

What's interesting is that the three defenders of Barcelona are all less than 1.8 meters tall, and the three "dwarfs" hinder Bai Xiaotian in the air.Height has always been a flaw for Barcelona players.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Gretz made the first substitution.The outstanding Vogel was replaced by the faster John De Jong.

Gretz, who had benefited from the counterattack, became ambitious. If he could use the counterattack to take away a victory at the Nou Camp, it would be great.

In 65 minutes, Rivaldo received a pass from Guardiola in the penalty area, hit the goal from a small angle, and hit the ball on the side net.

In 67 minutes, after Barcelona's cross from the side was pushed out of the penalty area by Bai Xiaotian, Enrique, who followed, hit the ball on Kevin Hovland, and the ball was cleared by the latter.

In the 70th minute, Eindhoven intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack.Under the double-teaming of the two, Van Bommel tried his best to send a long oblique pass. After Bai Xiaotian stopped the ball with his chest on the sideline, the pass was pushed out by Puyol.

In the 72nd minute, Barcelona made a substitution. Simão, who played right winger, replaced Reziger and threw another player into the front line.

In 78 minutes, Barcelona replaced a midfielder again, intending to give it a go.

In the 83rd minute, taking advantage of a midfield throw-in, the fourth official held up the substitution card again, and Bai Xiaotian was replaced by midfielder Theo Lucius after running for most of the time.

This time, while protecting Bai Xiaotian and strengthening his offense, Gretz also wanted to pass the time.Bai Xiaotian obviously understood the coach's thoughts, and walked slowly towards Theo Lucius from the other side of the field, wasting nearly a minute of time.

"Boy, you played well!" Gretz patted Bai Xiaotian's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Watching Theo Lucius come on, Cocu struggled to throw a throw-in.Rivaldo leaned against John De Jong with his strong body, twisted his body immediately after stopping the ball with his chest, and ran forward with the ball.

But John De Jong, who was replaced in the second half, still had plenty of physical strength, and he chased after him as soon as he was freed.

Seeing this, Rivaldo had to give the ball to Enrique.At this time, Enrique's physical strength was also on the verge of exhaustion. After stepping on the bicycle twice with both feet, he found that he could not pass the opponent's defender, so he passed the ball across the middle.

The ball hit Guardiola's left foot and stopped.Yang Han took advantage of the opportunity to grab, but was dodged by Guardiola.

After the start, Guardiola couldn't stop even if he wanted to. He grabbed the defender one after another, barely blocked the opponent with his body, and struggled to control the ball under his feet.

Seeing his teammates being passed, Oye immediately ran forward, trying to break the ball while Guardiola was on the road.

As expected of being the captain of Barcelona, ​​Guardiola stepped on the ball lightly with his right foot in an instant, came up with an extreme Marseille maneuver, and even dribbled the ball and staggered past Oye.

Theo Lucius, who had just entered the field, hurriedly made up for it, and stretched out his foot to intercept the ball.

"Boom"!Under the gaze of 10 people at the scene, the captain of Barcelona fell directly into the penalty area of ​​Eindhoven.

The whistle sounded immediately, and the referee pointed to a penalty without hesitation.

"Fake, is he competing in diving?" Albers in front of the TV asked angrily.If it wasn't for Gerbrands who was next to him to hold him in time, the chairman of the Eindhoven board of directors would have smashed the TV in front of him.

On the screen, Guardiola was lying on the ground clutching his calf and moaning constantly. Looking at his painful expression, this was at least a "fracture".

Puzzled fans and spectators couldn't help but turn their attention to the big screen. Theo Lucius' legs were not fully stretched, and the Barcelona captain seemed to have a vague tendency to jump up before hitting.Huang Yu took a screenshot of this moment and posted it on the public screen.

This time, netizens exploded.

"What? What's the situation? The captain of Barcelona took the lead in diving?"

"I'm going, isn't this too fake? Do you want to come to China to learn about the self-cultivation of an actor?"

"Black whistle! Black whistle! Europa League also has black whistle!"

"Are you blind, the referee? This is obviously a flop, can't you see it?"

Huang Jianxiang was also amused by this dramatic scene. Once upon a time, the mighty Barcelona relied on the captain's flopping to win the game. This is simply a great irony.

Bai Xiaotian clenched his fists on the sidelines, trembling all over his body.anger?regret?disappointment?sad?A variety of complex emotions rushed into his mind in an instant, and for the first time, Bai Xiaotian had a deeper understanding of the sport of football.

Guardiola, who was carried off the court, obviously couldn't take this penalty kick again. It was exhausting for him to have the cheek to fight for a penalty kick for the team. He was really embarrassed to stand on the penalty kick point again.

"Just treat it as my last effort for Barcelona before I leave!" Guardiola said softly in his heart looking at Rivaldo who was running up.

Seven days later, Guardiola announced to everyone that he would be leaving Barcelona at the end of the season.Seven years later, Barcelona welcomed back their "king".Only this time, Guardiola returned to Barcelona as a coach.

Rivaldo has strong self-confidence and aura, and his ability to withstand pressure is also extraordinary.Bai Xiaotian, who had studied Qin Xue's video tape for a long time, knew that Frejus could only save this ball with the help of God.

Apparently, God wasn't awake yet.Rivaldo kicked the ball to the other side of Fréjus.

In the 86th minute of the game, Barcelona led Eindhoven by one goal.
