Chapter 213 Fighting against Barcelona
Fréjus picked up the ball from the net and kicked it vigorously towards the midfield.When the ball kicked high by Fréjus hit the ground, it was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the Eindhoven players.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged, keep working hard. The game is not over yet, let's get back the score that fell behind!" Seeing that the players on the field were all in a daze, and many of them were holding their knees and panting heavily, Van Bommel couldn't help shouting.

The difference of one goal is the distance between two goals.Especially against the powerful Barcelona, ​​even Van Nistelrooy smiled wryly and shook his head for a while. It seemed that the bargaining chips he had raised for himself before going to his new club had been wasted.

Van Bommel scanned every teammate on the field with a firm gaze, but whether it was John De Jong or Kevin Hovland, the main players of PSV Eindhoven all looked away and did not dare to look at the captain.

Indeed, sometimes the blow to the player's heart by a goal is huge.It is said that many players' mental quality is not good enough, and a large part of it is talking about this situation.

There are many kinds of being scored. Obviously, being equalized after scoring a goal will affect the player's mood more than the opponent scoring first.What's more, this goal is of great significance, leaving PSV behind by two goals.Facing Barcelona, ​​which is gradually regaining its form, many players asked themselves, can they still catch up and play well?
Van Bommel naturally didn't know what the team members were thinking. While disappointed, he began to look for a young figure in his sight.Even if the teammates lose confidence, it doesn't matter, as long as the new stars in the team are not affected.He is the captain of Eindhoven, so he naturally thinks more.

"Where? Where?" Van Bommel scanned around, but did not find Bai Xiaotian.

Just when Van Bommel wanted to shout loudly, he looked into the distance and realized that Bai Xiaotian was already standing silently in the middle circle, with the ball just kicked by Fréjus under his feet.

The ball, which fell from a height of more than 30 meters, did not bounce for the second time, and was firmly stopped by Bai Xiaotian, without any movement.

At this time, the Barcelona players who were celebrating on the sidelines seemed to have noticed something unusual. After waving with the fans of the visiting team, they ran towards their own half together.

"What skills do you have, use them all! I'm looking forward to your counterattack." When passing by Bai Xiaotian, Harvey said in a low voice.

As Cassie's teammate in the World Youth Championship, Harvey has already obtained all the information about Bai Xiaotian from Cassie.

"I will." Bai Xiaotian showed his white teeth, and also replied in Spanish.

There were only 2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half. After Bai Xiaotian passed the ball to Van Nistelrooy, he ran towards the opponent's penalty area.

Reziger immediately stuck to Bai Xiaotian's side. After the midfielder was overwhelmed by Barcelona, ​​it was difficult for Bai Xiaotian to receive comfortable balls in the frontcourt.Rezig also took the opportunity to freeze Bai Xiaotian's attack, whether he was running back and forth or pulling sideways, he couldn't help the Barcelona defender.

Seeing this, Huang Musen couldn't help saying in the microphone, "Barcelona, ​​a majestic La Liga giant, actually closely guarded a 19-year-old Chinese young forward, which shows the importance of Bai Xiaotian in the team!"

Netizens didn't have any objection to this, they already recognized Bai Xiaotian from the bottom of their hearts.

Eindhoven obviously didn't want to waste the last attack in the first half, or Van Bommel didn't want to waste it.

The young captain of Eindhoven broke through from the left to the right, leaned against Guardiola behind him, and controlled the ball under his feet.

Watching the referee keep looking down at his watch, Van Bommel didn't hesitate to kick the ball directly to the frontcourt.

Since his back was facing the goal, Puyol did not deliberately make any small moves, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was firmly behind him.

Ruud van Nistelrooy jumped hard inside the arc of the penalty area and ferried the ball to the other side.

At this moment, Puyol gave up Van Nistelrooy, and together with De Boer rushed to the front of the ball, sliding shovels, stretching legs.

Because at that moment, Bai Xiaotian, who was one body ahead of Rezig, directly kicked the slightly bouncing ball without waiting for the ball to stop.

Reina's hand stayed in the air halfway out, this time it wasn't because the ball was scored that he reacted, but Reina judged that the ball was too high and should be higher than the crossbar.

Sure enough, the ball hit the upper part of the crossbar and bounced straight up and down. When all the fans raised their hearts to their throats, the ball fell into the net above the goal. "Beep!"The referee directly blew the whistle for the first half of the game.

Until this moment, all the Barcelona defense personnel were covered in cold sweat, and some looked at Bai Xiaotian with monster-like eyes. It seemed that the winning situation was not so stable anymore.

Without looking back, Bai Xiaotian walked directly into the player tunnel and disappeared around the corner.All the Eindhoven players looked at me and I looked at you, and they all returned to the locker room with their heads down.

Gretz didn't get angry because he knew that getting angry wouldn't solve the problem at all.Seeing that the players were exhausted one by one, he let the players take a good rest for the first time, without talking much.

Ten minutes later, Gretz took out his stick, tapped on the small blackboard in the locker room, and began to explain the tactics for the second half.

Bai Xiaotian has already been marked to death by the opponent at this point, so he might as well retreat a little and shift the focus of attack to Ruud.As for Bai Xiaotian and Van Bommel, both of them can find opportunities to make long shots.

Speaking of this, Gretz can't help but start to miss Batman Kezhiman. If he is on the field, PSV will bloom at three points. How can Barcelona's three-back lineup defend?
"Is there any problem?" After the offensive and defensive tactics were arranged, Gretz didn't mention anything about the score, as if this was an irrelevant game.

Hearing the coach's sudden increase in volume, all the Eindhoven players seemed to have regained their confidence and shouted in unison, "No!"

After high-fiving the coach, the PSV Eindhoven players reappeared on the pitch.

It was bound to be a difficult game, as the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals attracted media from all over the world.Everyone is concerned about who can enter the Europa League final, and at the same time observing whether the two young players of Barcelona and Eindhoven have the potential to be acquired by giants.

Just yesterday, the Champions League semi-finals have been produced, namely Leeds United in the Premier League, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Valencia and Real Madrid in La Liga.After knowing the result, the media and fans also shifted their attention from the Champions League to the Europa League.The semi-finals of the Europa League and the Champions League add up to four teams from La Liga.People wonder if the next UEFA Super Cup will be played between two La Liga teams.

Although the PSV Eindhoven players re-invigorated, they still struggled to play against Barcelona, ​​which was gradually recovering.

In the 49th minute of the second half, Bai Xiaotian successfully received a pass from Romedal before scoring.

But before Bai Xiaotian stopped, he was hit by Rezig who was beside him, and his body immediately turned to one side.

Although he did not lose his center of gravity and fell to the ground, Bai Xiaotian lost the chance to hit the goal and pass the ball.

With this level of impact, the referee was indifferent and didn't seem to blow the whistle at all.

It seems that during the intermission, Barcelona considered Bai Xiaotian's long-range shooting ability, and disturbing his balance seemed to be a good way.

When Bai Xiaotian barely stood firm to protect the ball, other defenders had already stepped up, forming a double-team for Bai Xiaotian.

Facing the two Barcelona defenders' pinching, Bai Xiaotian was cut off without even passing the ball.

In the eyes of the giants of La Liga, Bai Xiaotian seemed to be a very threatening figure. I don't know whether it is joy or sorrow for such a result.
