Chapter 410 Repetition of Old Tricks

7:45 p.m.

More than 100 million fans around the world focused their attention on the Olympic Stadium in Rome and on the Swiss referee Busacca. ?

Busacca was even more nervous than the players and fans on both sides. He knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders today. In the semi-final match between Barcelona and Chelsea, Herning's penalty attracted the attention of fans all over the world. After the game, Herning was also punished. Despite the death threats from Chelsea fans, this game will only be more tense and intense than the semi-finals. If he doesn't pay 120% attention, a misjudgment may ruin his reputation.

Looking at his watch, when the time was up, Busacca decisively blew the whistle to start the game.

Ma Ning, the on-site commentator of Sky Sports, was broadcasting today's lineups of both sides to the fans. When he heard the whistle, he immediately changed the subject and turned to the game.

"...The game has begun. The finale of the o8o9 season, the UEFA Champions League final kicked off. The two sides in the decisive battle are the La Liga champion Barcelona and the Portuguese champion Porto. Now the Porto team kicks off first, and their pass is theirs. Deputy Gao Xiaodong, Porto’s captain Alves received the ball... In such a Champions League final, both sides will definitely be very cautious, let’s continue to look at Barcelona’s lineup.”… 1-Valdes/5- Puyol, 24-Toure, 3-Pique, 16-Sylvinho/8-Iniesta, 6-Havi, 28-Buscotts/1o-Messi, 9-Eto'o 、14-Henry, this is a 433...Ah! Porto launched a fierce attack on Barcelona, ​​what does this mean? Porto would rather die standing than live on their knees? The game was exciting, let's watch the game first, and look back at Porto's style of play..."

Porto suddenly launched a quick attack, and the offensive was directed at Barcelona's left, which shocked Barcelona.

Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova said nervously to Guardiola: "They even attacked!"

This is Guardiola's first year coaching the senior team, and the first time leading the team to the Champions League final. He is more nervous than the players on the field, but he is unwilling to show it at this time, saying: "It doesn't matter, this is what I expected .”

Vilanova did not eliminate the tension, and said in his heart, we have prepared many plans, but the opponent's attack at the beginning is the least we have prepared.

The Barcelona players on the field were also a little flustered. Although Guardiola said before the game that the opponent might attack, Guardiola did not emphasize it, and the Barcelona players did not take it too seriously.

Because he only attacked for ten minutes, in order to use all his attack power in an instant, Gao Xiaodong also came to his right, and attacked Sylvinho with Hulk.

Sylvinho is old and tall, and he can't carry Hulk. Seeing that Gao Xiaodong and Hulk are coming,

He couldn't stop smiling wryly, and said in his heart, this is really degrading my old bones.

The 35-year-old Sylvinho is always a little old, but he is different from Gibson. He knows what he can do and what he should do. When he sees Gao Xiaodong coming up, he retreats immediately, compresses Gao Xiaodong's space, and then prepares at any time foul.

Obviously, no matter how good the technique is, no matter how fast the speed is, there is no way to prevent the opponent from fouling when there is not much space.

Gao Xiaodong was caught by Sylvinho's jersey and dragged to the ground.

The referee Busaca awarded a free kick near the sideline, which is better than a short corner.

Gao Xiaodong saw that he couldn't use the new skill "Falling Leaf Slash" in this position, so he had to call his teammates to the penalty area and attack Barcelona with a header.

Although Barcelona is not good at headers, central defender Toure is also a cameo, but another central defender Pique is 19 meters tall, and Toure is also 1.87 meters tall. Even the English team dare not say that they can use headers casually. Break through the gates of Porto.

Gao Xiaodong's free kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Pique, and the ball fell to Xavi, who had no ability to compete for the top of Barcelona. Xavi passed to Messi, and Barcelona quickly counterattacked.

Most of Porto's players are in the penalty area of ​​Barcelona. Barcelona's players are also in the penalty area. There are not many offensive and defensive players. Harvey passed the ball superbly, but the speed is not fast. Single-handedly killed Porto's half.

Today Porto also arranged a formation of three defensive midfielders. The central defender Rolando and the full-back Sapruna went up to compete for the top, while the defensive midfielders Fernando and Meireles stayed behind.

Fernando and Meleses, one in front of the other, grabbed Messi.

But Messi suddenly changed direction and passed Mereles during the high-speed run. In a very small space, he changed direction again and broke through Fernando from one side.

A star like Luo didn't have time to make such a move in such a small defense. Fernando had no choice but to let Messi face his opponent Alves, so he had to reach out and drag Messi down.

Beep!

Busacca's whistle blew and Fernando was shown the yellow card.

"Hush!"

There was a lot of booing in the stands. The yellow card made the Porto fans dissatisfied. They thought that Sylvinho did not get a yellow card for a foul on Gao Xiaodong just now, but this time Fernando got a yellow card. This penalty is a double standard.

Porto's players also came to ask Busacca for an explanation. Busacca explained that Fernando's foul prevented a very threatening counterattack by Barcelona, ​​and the yellow card was not an excessive sentence.

Although the players in Porto are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do. They are a small club and Barcelona is a giant. It is normal for the referee to be partial. There are even rumors that Busacca is a Barcelona fan.

This free kick was 30 meters away, Xavi kicked directly into the penalty area, but on the high-altitude ball, Barcelona had no advantage over Porto, and the ball was cleared by Alves.

Harvey came over to try to stop the ball, but Gao Xiaodong also rushed over. With a 1/2 chance of the ball, Harvey was bumped by Gao Xiaodong, and the ball easily fell to Gao Xiaodong's feet.

However, Barcelona's high-post press was very fast. As soon as Gao Xiaodong got the ball, Eto'o, Iniesta and Messi double-teamed him. Gao Xiaodong could only pass the ball back to central defender Alves.

After Alves stopped the ball, without waiting for the Barcelona players to press up, he passed a kick to Sapruna from the side, and Sapruna passed it to Hulk, and quickly attacked from the side.

Barcelona was very worried about their left, so Henry didn't press Gao Xiaodong just now, because he was afraid of Porto's right counterattack.

Seeing Hulk attacking from the side, Henry quickly returned to the defense, chasing Hulk closely.

Henry's speed is very fast, even if Hulk breaks through Sylvinho, he may not have a chance to pass the ball. He decisively crosses the ball across the middle, looking for Gao Xiaodong who is fast in.

Gao Xiaodong went forward to pass Barcelona's imagination, and Mereles and Rodriguez also went forward. Barcelona's midfielder Busquez did not keep up with Gao Xiaodong, and Gao Xiaodong easily got Hulk's pass .

Gao Xiaodong is fast, but his skills are not fine, and his ability to surpass people has always been mediocre. However, after being promoted to the professional A level, he felt that he should have improved, so he gave up long-range shots, stood up the ball, and dribbled straight to restricted area.

Toure hurried over to intercept, Gao Xiaodong dialed the ball and changed direction, trying to use speed to break through Toure, but at this time Pique gave up Falcao and intercepted it.

Gao Xiaodong doesn't have Messi's ability to change directions in a small area. He gave up on Pique, flicked the ball, and passed it to Falcao.

Barcelona's return to defense was quite fast. When Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, he didn't see Iniesta who was returning to defense. Before the ball reached Falcao's control range, Iniesta rushed over and stabbed the ball to Goalkeeper Valdes.

Falcao didn't think much about it, and ran over to grab the goalkeeper Valdez to prevent Porto from counterattacking quickly.

Valdes didn't want to let go of this counterattack opportunity, risked a diagonal pass and passed the ball to Henry.

Porto's high-post press was also very fierce, and Henry took the pass from Valdés and was uncomfortable, and was immediately double-teamed by Hulk and Mereles.

Henry wanted to protect the ball and pass it to Sylvinho, but Sylvinho came up a bit slower, and Henry didn't protect the ball either, and was forced out of his position by Hulk, allowing Merles to snatch the ball away .

Merreles feinted from the side and broke through Sylvinho from the outside to make a pass from the bottom.

At this moment, Barcelona was preparing to counterattack, and the players started to run forward. Suddenly, Porto intercepted the counterattack, and the formation was in chaos. They just went to mark the most dangerous Gao Xiaodong. Shake his head and attack the goal.

This is a beautiful lion head shake, avoiding the goalkeeper Valdez's pounce, but the accuracy is a little bit worse, the ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

Eight minutes into the game, Porto made a sudden attack, which caught Barcelona off guard. Porto and Barcelona, ​​who were seriously underestimated before the game, were evenly matched and even had a slight upper hand. 8
