Volume 1: The Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 3 White Mist 12: An Unexpected Angle (Guaranteed First Update)

Five minutes into the game, Barcelona's players and fans suddenly discovered a problem - in these five minutes, Liverpool had two shots, but they didn't even have one shot!

Is this normal?

It's normal to have no shots in five minutes.

But in these five minutes, their opponents had two shots, but they didn't have one shot, which is abnormal.

And it's not just that they didn't have one shot, Barcelona didn't even have one shot in Liverpool's 30-meter area!

This is even more abnormal!

With Barcelona's strong offensive power, they couldn't even get into the opponent's 30-meter area!

These abnormalities combined, this game became a little abnormal.

Guardiola was the first to discover the problem.

Liverpool's active frontcourt pressing has never appeared before.

Even at the beginning of the game, when they need to bombard and score goals, they don't do this when defending. They will shrink to their own 30-meter area and then organize the defense there. No matter how the opponent attacks, first ensure that their defense line will not be messed up and the players will not lose their positions when defending.

But now the situation is that Liverpool's defense is more active than before, even... radical! They can't wait to surround Barcelona's penalty area and start to grab, so that they can't even get out of the penalty area.

Liverpool's performance in this game is very abnormal. If Guardiola can't see this again, he is not worthy of being a qualified head coach.

But what if he sees it?

He still has to think about why Liverpool did this?

Do this. There is a huge gap behind Liverpool. As long as Barcelona breaks through once, Liverpool's goal will be in danger.

They are very risky to do this, why do they still do this?

Then he noticed the statistics of the first five minutes of the game.

Liverpool has a lot of offensives.

A thought popped up in his mind.

Is Liverpool going to attack us at home?

This thought just popped up. He was shocked.

His first reaction was not to believe it.

But then he thought of what Chen Yingxiong said before the game.

"We will completely solve Barcelona in the first round!"

Is this your Liverpool solution?

Guardiola, who had figured it out, showed a disdainful smile on his face.

In his opinion, Liverpool wanted to completely solve Barcelona with this method, which was simply childish!

But in this case... it would be simple, attack! See who has stronger attack power!

Thinking of this, he did not get up, but continued to sit in the coaching seat.

He had nothing to worry about, just need to watch the game. The game will naturally develop in a direction that is favorable to Barcelona.

Guardiola, sitting in the coaching seat, calmed down.

He didn't know that he missed an opportunity. An opportunity that could have saved the fate of him and his team.

※※※

Five minutes later, the situation of the game was still Liverpool attacking and Barcelona wanted to attack.

After entering the second five minutes, Liverpool's offensive did not decrease at all. Their defense also pressed forward as always, and launched a crazy pressing in the midfield.

Guardiola's performance was very calm. But the Barcelona players on the field were not used to Liverpool's defense.

They made continuous mistakes under Liverpool's pressing.

Only Messi was a bright spot. His dribbling is still sharp.

It's just that because he is farther away from the goal, his dribbling distance has also increased, so his chance of successful dribbling has also decreased.

On the other hand, Liverpool's attack is like a tide. Even if there is no final shot. It can give people a feeling that "Liverpool has already gained the upper hand".

They can't say why this feeling is, this is their feeling.

Their feeling has no theoretical support, but the fact exists.

Liverpool really suppressed Barcelona!

The Liverpool fans in the stands saw this scene and were happy in their hearts-this proves that our Liverpool is already the best team in the world! What Barcelona. It's not our opponent!

But it's not just these that make them happy...

※※※

Head coaches with high tactical ability always have such a psychological misunderstanding-thinking that tactics can solve all problems.

As long as their own tactics can restrain the opponent's tactics, then the victory of the game will belong to them.

Sometimes they will ignore such a fact-there are many factors that determine the outcome of a game. Exquisite tactics are just one of the factors.

Collectivism is certainly worth promoting, but the light of individual heroism is also something that no one can erase or ignore.

It may be an insignificant little person who changes history. It may also be a star's flash of inspiration that becomes the turning point of the game.

In fact, both teams have no shortage of people with this ability.

Liverpool passed the ball back and forth in front of Barcelona's penalty area through passing organization, looking for opportunities.

This is different from their straightforward style of play. Barcelona fans who don't care about Liverpool will find this Liverpool very unfamiliar, and some even think that Liverpool is imitating Barcelona. What good can this kind of behavior of showing off one's skills in front of an expert get?

What they don't know is that after having Gotze, this situation is also a common occurrence for Liverpool. After all, they can't just rely on long passes from the backcourt to quickly counterattack and conquer the world. As their strength increases, they will also face many teams that shrink and defend at the beginning. At this time, positional warfare is also a skill that Liverpool must master.

Gotze's transfer to join is also because O'Neill has this requirement.

In the continuous horizontal pass, Liverpool is patiently looking for loopholes in Barcelona's back line.

Facing such an attack, Barcelona seems to be at ease. They are very patient in dealing with Liverpool.

No matter where the football is, as long as their own defensive position is not messy, then Liverpool will not find a chance.

The football was passed back and forth several times, and it was passed back several times.

Pique suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What was wrong specifically?

In order to prevent Liverpool from passing the ball from the wing, they were looking for Chen Yingxiong. They were strictly guarding against the cross from the wing. This blocked Liverpool's way of passing the ball.

They could only pass from the wing to the middle, and then from the middle to the wing.

In theory, this defense was successful, and Liverpool could only go from the middle. If they went from the middle, Chen Yingxiong's biggest weapon, the header, would not work...

By the way, Chen Yingxiong!

Where is that damn bastard?

As soon as he thought of Chen Yingxiong's name, Barcelona's central defender hurriedly looked around.

He didn't see Chen Yingxiong beside him.

Going further, he didn't even see Chen Yingxiong in the penalty area!

Suddenly, cold sweat climbed up his forehead.

He didn't find Chen Yingxiong in his own penalty area. Doesn't this explain the problem?

This shows that the problem is very serious!

As a central defender, he actually lost his defensive target!

In a panic, he cast his sights outside the penalty area.

At the front of the penalty area, at the top of the penalty arc, there was no one!

He glanced to the right again, still no one!

On the left...

He saw Chen Yingxiong.

Right at the corner of the penalty area. At the outermost of Barcelona's defense.

As for when he appeared there, no one knew.

And it seemed that the Barcelona players did not notice him at the first time...

Pique's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

He opened his mouth to remind his teammates.

At this time.

Gotze passed the ball.

He did not pass it to anyone else. The football fell directly at Chen Yingxiong's feet.

At this time, the other Barcelona players realized that Chen Yingxiong was no longer in the penalty area...

But when did he get here?

Many people were confused.

At this time, they did not care about finding the answer to this question.

A group of people rushed towards Chen Yingxiong.

Central defender, full-back, defensive midfielder, wingers... rushed towards him from four directions.

Among them, right-back Alvesca was on the route Chen Yingxiong was going to take. As long as Chen Yingxiong dribbled the ball over, he would fall into the trap.

And Pique rushed up as soon as he found Chen Yingxiong. He planned to block Chen Yingxiong's shooting angle, and also planned to block Chen Yingxiong's breakthrough with Alves.

But Chen Yingxiong did not carry the ball forward. After he stopped the ball, he swung his left leg directly on the spot.

Then he shot the ball!

His left foot was like the end of a whip, quickly hitting the ball.

Bang.

The ball quickly drilled towards the near corner of the goal along the grass!

Chen Yingxiong chose a shooting time that no one expected, and also chose a shooting angle that no one expected!

He kicked directly and went straight to the near corner!

The ball drilled between Pique and Alves.

Goalkeeper Valdez's reaction was obviously a beat slower - because he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to shoot so suddenly!

He fell to the ground and dived sideways, but it was too late.

The ball passed by his hand.

Then it brushed the goal post and plunged into the net...

The ball... The ball went in!

※※※

When the football flew into the goal, everyone was stunned for a moment, and some people couldn't believe their eyes. They stared at the stadium with their eyes wide open, as if this would allow them to see more clearly.

Few people thought that Liverpool would score so early in the game.

You know, it's not even ten minutes yet!

But soon, huge cheers rang out at Anfield. The sound was deafening, sweeping across the sky and earth, and the breathtaking feeling came to the face.

"We are ahead! We are ahead! In the eighth minute, we are ahead of Barcelona!" Harry Levy, the commentator of Liverpool Club, shouted excitedly into the microphone.

But his voice was also drowned out by the cheers of Liverpool fans.

"Long live Liverpool--!! Long live the heroes--!!!"! ~!
