Chapter 219: Isn’t this a relief? (Second update, please vote for me)

Under Liverpool's high-altitude bombing tactics, Barcelona played a frustrating game.

Because of the offensive method adopted by Liverpool, the players do not need to move and change positions frequently and can maintain a relatively complete formation. So Liverpool formed a siege.

Even if Barcelona can free the football, it will ultimately fall at the feet of Liverpool's players.

If Barcelona wanted to take advantage of their goal kick opportunity to counterattack, they would be surrounded by Liverpool's superior strength in the midfield.

Messi met the villain Pepe in this game. The two played against each other many times when they were in La Liga, and each time was accompanied by countless controversies. It was nothing more than whether Pepe fouled again in the game, whether Pepe had no sportsmanship, and so on.

Real Madrid eventually sold him to take care of their club's image.

But in Liverpool, Pepe no longer has such a problem. Because Martin O'Neill told him not to be polite to Messi during the game, even if he ended up with a red card, the club would support him.

This immediately made Peipei feel like "a scholar dies for his confidant".

But he is not a fool, and he will not really ignore it during the game.

At least at the beginning of the game, he wasn't very tough.

His restrained performance in defense allowed Messi to score two goals. Of course, there are many reasons for losing the ball, and Pepe cannot be blamed entirely.

But Pepe's performance in the game will inevitably lead to criticism. Later, as Liverpool changed its strategy, the defensive pressure on his side was much lighter, and things improved slightly.

It's just that everyone always looks at him in a special way.

Now it's time for him to prove it for himself.

As the end of the game approached, Pepe's defensive hardness began to increase. When facing Messi, his actions were more aggressive than before. This made Messi very uncomfortable and suffered a lot.

When Pepe was at Real Madrid, he was Mourinho's main weapon against Messi.

Pepe has a method for dealing with Messi.

He can't guarantee that he can trap Messi for the entire game. But within these ten minutes, he was sure that Messi would not score a goal!

It was precisely because of his defense that even if Barcelona had a chance to attack, it ended in vain and returned without results.

Barcelona is attacking now, but they can't attack; they are defending, and they don't know how long they can defend it.

Are you feeling aggrieved or not?

Piqué had tried his best. Every time he took off, he wanted to hug Chen Yingxiong with both hands, but it was useless. Most of the time, the football could still be pushed away by Chen Yingxiong.

In his opinion, Liverpool's style of play is unreasonable and banditry. There was no technical content, but the problem was that such a low-tech tactic caused them so much pain.

Both Liverpool and Piqué are struggling with this pain.

In the 87th minute, their suffering was over.

Of course they didn't score the goal.

But Liverpool scored.

In the 87th minute, Adam Johnson, who had just come on as a substitute, made a cross from behind at a 40-degree angle. The air raid siren sounded again from the fans above the Gazprom Arena.

Amid the siren, Chen Yingxiong rushed into the penalty area and then jumped high again.

In front of him was Fontas, and at his side was Piqué, joined by Butzquez.

The three tallest players sandwiched Chen Yingxiong in the middle.

But these are useless efforts.

Because Chen Yingxiong can jump higher than the three of them, he can find the landing spot very accurately!

So when he threw the football over his head, the three people could only watch and were helpless.

Valdes pounced on the football, but Chen Yingxiong pushed the football faster than ever before!

He really shook his head like a lion with enough strength!

Valdez in the air could only watch the football fly past his fingertips, and then... dive into the goal!

Barcelona is relieved, they no longer have to continue to struggle for a victory in a game and a Champions League title.

Because they have completely said goodbye to this championship!

With a gap of two goals and less than five minutes left before the end of the game, there was basically no possibility of an equalizer.

Even if it's theoretically possible, it's slim to none.

So they can finally be free...

But why do they seem to be in more pain?

Pedro put his head in his hands and sat down on the ground.

Villa put his hands on his knees and leaned over, breathing heavily with a dazed look in his eyes.

Fabregas put his hands on his hips and looked up at the night sky.

With them as the background, crazy Liverpool players rushed towards Chen Yingxiong from all directions. They opened their arms and cheered. Their expressions were distorted due to excessive excitement, looking slightly ferocious.

They flew past the stunned Barcelona players like birds of joy through a jungle.

※ ※ ※

"Hero! Hat trick!!!"

The commentator went crazy again, even crazier than last time.

"He completed a hat trick! Three goals. This is his 21st Champions League goal this season! He broke his own record of 20 goals set last season and set a new single-season scoring record! "

"After Liverpool took the lead, everyone was thinking about this question - can Barcelona equalize the score? Now there is a final answer to this question, the answer is no! Barcelona has no chance! They are two goals behind and game time There’s not much left and no one believes they can even the score!”

"This is the goal that seals the victory! Liverpool can already cheer for their Champions League! This will be the sixth Champions League in their club history!"

Every time a cross was scored before, the air raid siren in the stands was relatively short-lived because it was immediately apparent and since no goal had been scored, there was no need to continue shouting.

This time was different. Their air raid siren continued until after Chen Yingxiong scored, and even increased in volume. Because Chen Yingxiong scored a goal.

After the air raid siren finally ended, they sang the "Song of Heroes" again, and the song resounded throughout the audience without any noise.

Because Chen Yingxiong has used his undisputed performance to show the world his strength and dominance.

No matter who it is, no matter how much he hates Chen Yingxiong, he can only shut up in the face of Chen Yingxiong's overwhelming performance.

"He is a ferocious bear from the north, smashing through the mountains and tearing apart the cold winter! Everywhere on the earth will sing: Hero! Chen Yingxiong! Our Liverpool Bear!"

"He is a magical evil dragon from the East. The flames he sprays are fierce and red! Everywhere on the earth will sing: Hero! Chen Yingxiong! Our Liverpool evil dragon!"

※ ※ ※

As the fans sang, Chen Yingxiong ran towards the stands, taking off his jersey as he ran and throwing it aside.

He revealed the strong muscles underneath and the tattoos on his back.

The giant bear seemed to come alive with his running movements and the undulating muscles.

The singing continues.

"Everyone must accept this reality. The invincibility of heroes has become a reality! Bow deeply with respect and fear to the most powerful hero in the world!"

"Long live! Hero! Long live! Long live! Long live -!"

This last sentence was not sung, but shouted. The whole audience, Liverpool and Zenit, roared hysterically.

After roaring, all the Liverpool and Zenit fans looked like they were bowing down.

Chen Yingxiong and the giant bear behind him looked up to the sky and roared.

The atmosphere at the scene has reached its peak!

※ ※ ※

While Chen Yingxiong celebrated his goal wantonly, Guardiola stood blankly on the sidelines.

Leading the team to the Champions League finals twice in a row, and finishing second twice in a row...

He suddenly felt very tired.

Then he turned around and walked back to the coaching bench, sat down, and said nothing.

All the Barcelona fans in the stands were silent. They held their heads or bit the scarves in their hands and stared blankly at the court, their eyes gradually turning red.

Sacrifice the domestic league and watch their mortal enemy win the championship two rounds ahead of schedule. Why did you pay such a high price?

Don’t you just want to dominate the Champions League?

Among the three most prosperous teams in Europe today, Barcelona has fewer Champions League titles. Real Madrid has ten, Liverpool has five and Barcelona has four. Therefore, Barcelona attaches great importance to this Champions League champion.

Who would have thought...

After working so hard, giving up so much, and paying so much, they still didn't get the championship they wanted.

Everyone is devastated.

They originally thought that their team could reach the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons, which showed that the team was strong and unmatched in Europe.

The loss to Bayern Munich last season was due to bad luck. Bayern Munich was too shameless and used defensive tactics to deal with them, dragging the final to a penalty shootout... As the Barcelona players themselves said, the championship should belong to them. The team that performs better, Barcelona has a high ball possession rate and takes more shots, naturally belongs to the team that performs better, so the championship should be theirs. Bayern Munich does not deserve this championship.

Well, this season, the championship should be ours, right?

But they still lost...

After reaching the finals for two consecutive seasons and losing for two consecutive seasons, is this still a matter of luck?

So in this game, did Barcelona perform better than Liverpool? Their ball possession rate did once have the upper hand, but after Liverpool's indiscriminate bombardment in the second half, the two sides' ball possession rates were almost equal. Barcelona only led Liverpool by a slim margin of four percentage points, and the number of shots on both sides was also low. They are evenly matched, and Liverpool even has an advantage in the number of shots within the goal frame.

Do they still have the nerve to say that the championship should belong to them who played better?
