Chapter 808 Stronger Notts County
When the players returned to the locker room, David and Villa sat on the bench. After a brief treatment by the team doctor, Villa had a thick bandage wrapped around his head, as if a mummy had drilled out. Like the pyramid, although there are still some headaches, it is no longer a problem.
"Boss, I still want to play, haven't the substitution application been submitted yet!" Villa was a little unwilling.
"If you don't have a head injury, I will give you a slap from top to bottom. If you are injured, you can rest well. Why can't you trust Didier! I know you are not reconciled, but you must know that this is absolutely not It will be the last time you play the Champions League final in your career, so take a long-term view! If you are violated by Barcelona players in the second half, it is probably not a simple matter of taking a few days off!" David taught Villa angrily. .
Villa shrugged angrily, with a helpless look on his face, no way, who told him that he was so desperate just now!
This may be a subconscious choice. At that moment, he chose to be fearless. Then, if the goal is scored next, he will not be able to play; or he can choose to give up, and he will not end up injured. There may also be a chance to continue scoring goals, but if the time goes back to that moment, ask yourself, he may still make the same choice!
This is a shooter's dedication to scoring goals and to winning!
Just when Villa and David were sloppy, the TV commentators who were broadcasting the game live in various countries around the world were also doing the analysis of the first half and the prediction of the second half. Notts County's performance was really impressive. Amazed.
Maybe the game will not be evenly matched, but Notts County almost beat Barcelona without a fight, which makes people wonder, is this really a contest known as the battle of the century?
Barcelona can't say that there is no chance, but there are very few. Notts County suppresses Barcelona most of the time, so that Barcelona can't even play its own football.
The score of 2:0 may not explain too many problems, but combined with the situation in the game, it can explain the problem too much.
Notts County's display of dominance terrified everyone.
In the Champions League final last season, Notts County played against AC Milan. Although Notts County won, AC Milan also played a wonderful game and lost no regrets.
In contrast, is this Barcelona far inferior to last season's Milan?
Probably not!
It is not unreasonable for this Barcelona to be called the strongest Barcelona,
It has a strong dominance in La Liga. Whether it is Real Madrid at the end of the Galaxy Battleship or Valencia Sevilla and other strong teams, they have been beaten without temper. They also have strong performances in the Champions League. The Premier League duo Chelsea and Arsenal were trampled under their feet.
Speaking of strength, I am afraid that the current Barcelona is stronger!
Why can such a strong Barcelona face the same Notts County but have no power to fight back?
There is only one answer, that is, Notts County is stronger, and Notts County has become stronger than when they won the Champions League last season.
The neutral commentators did not hesitate to praise Notts County for such an outstanding performance, while some commentators who liked Barcelona could only say something sour to cover up their embarrassment.
In addition, Notts County's second goal was also frequently replayed. On the one hand, it was because of Villa's self-mutilation behavior of hitting a post with his head. On the other hand, it was also because the goal was quite controversial. Whether it was offside or not, everyone had different opinions.
But in any case, since the referee's penalty goal is valid, the result of the game cannot be changed, even if Barcelona appeals after the game, it will not help.
When the players in the locker room return to the court, the second half of the game is about to start, and everyone is first concerned about who will make personnel adjustments on both sides.
There is no doubt that Villa was off the court due to injury, Drogba came off the bench, and the prehistoric beast appeared in the final. Barca defenders, are you ready to endure the ravages?
Barcelona did not make personnel changes, there are no good cards available on the Barcelona bench, or Rijkaard may be waiting for a better opportunity.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Barcelona, who had the right to kick the ball, opened the battle and put on a positional battle to confront Notts County. With two goals behind, Barcelona is no longer qualified to be conservative. What they need is to score goals quickly. rather than timid.
This is a matter of choice. In such a strong situation in Notts County, Barcelona must make a choice.
Or simply give up the game and win less if you lose. Although you won't be able to win the cup, at least you won't get a humiliating score;
Or forget everything and go to attack, even if the defense is smashed, but also to break the Notts County goal, although there may be a loss, but at least they are in pursuit of victory.
At this point, Rijkaard chose the latter, and he was absolutely unwilling to let the team cede victory like this.
Loew looked at the young figure not far away, and felt that his opponent was at least not a coward. His professional skills could not be tempered, but his heart was not strong, so no one could save him. Facts have proved that Rijkaard deserves respect.
For Notts County, it is definitely better for Barcelona to attack than to defend. Notts County is more willing to attack directly and effectively, rather than trying to break the opponent's tortoise shell.
Since Barcelona is willing to fight against each other, Notts County is naturally more willing, and whoever has stronger attack power!
Alonso and Deco looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Obviously, the two commanders of Notts County had already thought of something together.
Notts County doesn't need a pressing attack anymore. They boldly let Barcelona attack. After the offense and defense change, Notts County's offense has more space to operate. There will be more chances in the field, not to mention that Notts County still has a two-goal lead, and they have enough confidence to be willful.
Sure enough, under Notts County's deliberate letting go, the two teams played a wonderful confrontation, and it seemed that the game suddenly entered a state of evenness, and it became better to look at.
The Barcelona players didn’t notice anything unusual. They thought that Notts County couldn’t play a pressing attack because Notts County’s fast-paced attack in the first half exhausted their physical fitness. When they had the opportunity to attack, they naturally attacked violently. , I don't have time to wait. They who are two goals behind must score goals as soon as possible to tie the score, otherwise it will be useless no matter how good the game is.
Ronaldinho has had enough of endless defense. In defense, he can't even keep up with the role of a sapper. Only by attacking can he fully display his talents. Barcelona's opportunity is also his opportunity. Chance.
He will never let go!
