Chapter 261: Quick counterattack and running without the ball (Third update, please vote for me?)

"Naples is launching an attack now, and Barcelona's shot just now was really dangerous!"

"Barcelona almost came first!"

"It's such a shame that Pedro hesitated a little bit when he shot, otherwise he wouldn't have been stopped..."

The football was almost half-time in Barcelona, ​​and the commentator was still talking about the scene that had just happened.

Barcelona had launched an effective attack before, with Xavi and Iniesta passing the ball continuously. At the same time, Messi suddenly cut in from the wing, attracting the attention of the Naples defense. However, Pedro on the left was temporarily ignored. So Xavi pretended to pass the football to Messi, but suddenly turned and pushed the football into the ribs of the penalty area. Pedro penetrated diagonally from the side and got the ball.

The critical moment came - DeSanctis rushed out almost as soon as Harvey passed the ball and abandoned the goal. As for Pedro, he hesitated a little when he received the ball and did not shoot directly. He waited for him to adjust before shooting, but he played right into De Sanctis's hands and the football went straight into De Sanctis. In Si's arms!

The whole process is like this.

Many people, like the commentator, are still thinking about this attack. If Pedro scores this goal, Barcelona will take the lead. In a major game like the Champions League final, the team that scores first will always have the upper hand. Especially the huge psychological advantage will make Barcelona play more smoothly. They will firmly control the trend of the entire game in their own hands. , Naples has no hope of making a big difference by then.

Barcelona fans were annoyed that Pedro wasted an excellent opportunity. Many people held their heads and looked at the stadium with expressions of disbelief. It seems that Pedro should not waste this opportunity.

Naples fans clapped their chests and sang a sigh of relief, and some people were shocked and kept crossing themselves on their chests to thank God for blessing.

Neutral fans are talking about the performance of both sides in this offense and defense.

"Xavi's passing is so awesome! He is indeed the number one midfielder in football today!"

"The Sabres' performance was a little soft. Do you think the opportunity is too good?"

"De Sanctis's save was amazing! The attack was very timely! If it weren't for him, Naples would have fallen behind!"

"Look, look. No matter how Napoli defends, there will still be loopholes in the face of Barcelona's constant passing. Just now everyone was too concerned about Messi and let Pedro go. If the game continues like this , I think Naples will concede a goal sooner or later. It’s just that they were lucky that they didn’t concede a goal this time, but they may not be so lucky next time..."

Even the TV broadcast suddenly cut back and replayed Pedro's single-handed goal... Seeing Pedro hitting the football into DeSanctis's arms, many people had headaches like him. He leaned back with a frustrated look on his face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was suddenly a huge noise behind the screen.

The slow playback suddenly stopped and cut to the live broadcast of the match.

I saw that Naples' offense had reached Barcelona's half. This was a very sharp counterattack!

※ ※ ※

Cassano switched positions to the right this time, and he received a long pass from the backcourt directly in front.

He turned around, with his back to the direction of the attack, stopped the football with his chest, and then without wasting time, passed the football directly to Sanchez who came up from behind.

Sanchez did not dribble the ball, but directly passed the football diagonally to the center. At this time, Hamsik had already rushed up.

He received Sanchez's pass in the exact spot.

So far, the above pictures are only visible to the live audience. The audience in front of the TV was still watching the replay of Pedro's one-handed goal just now.

When Hamsik moved the football directly to the right wing without stopping, there was a huge noise. Because both those who were upset and those who breathed a sigh of relief realized that something was wrong.

Napoli played the football to Barcelona's thirty-meter zone so quickly?

Just now, Barcelona was pressing the attack. How come in a few blinks of an eye, it was Napoli's turn to threaten Barcelona's goal?

What about the Barcelona players?

Except for a few defenders, everyone is still trying their best to defend!

One can imagine how fast Naples' counterattack was!

This is where the huge noise came from - everyone was shocked by Napoli's quick counterattack and Barcelona's flawless defense!

When the TV screen came out, everyone saw Arshavin receiving the ball.

※ ※ ※

The current situation is that Naples has Cassano, Sanchez, Hamsik, Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin attacking. None of the others have come up yet and are all in their own half.

As for Barcelona, ​​there are actually not many people guarding their own half. There are only two center backs, Piqué and Mascherano, one midfielder, Butzquez, and one goalkeeper, Valdes.

Everyone else is still chasing after them desperately.

Logically speaking, this should not happen. Barcelona's offense is world-famous. In fact, their defense is also very good. However, Barcelona's defense is not the kind of defense that shrinks the defense and waits for the opponent to hit the goal in its own half.

Their defense focuses on counterattacking on the spot, and immediately rushing to press after losing the ball. Usually two or three people surround one person and rush for it. Under such a frantic rush, few players can control the football well. Even if the ball is not intercepted by the opponent in a hurry, it is a waste of their own offensive opportunities, because such a pass is almost impossible to flow smoothly. possible.

After you finally organize the pass, Barcelona will have already retreated into the backcourt, and there will naturally be less space for attack.

But this time, Naples gave Barcelona no chance to press them in the frontcourt. De Sanctis directly kicked the football to Cassano with a big kick. Next, whether it was Cassano, Sanchez, or Hamsik, no one touched the ball. They all received the ball and passed it out immediately.

Cassano passed to Sanchez, Sanchez passed to Hamsik, Hamsik passed to Arshavin, and in a few seconds the football moved from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and from the right to the left.

Barcelona had no chance to execute their pressing attack...

"Arshavin got the ball!"

"Nice transfer, Hamsik's vision is very broad!"

"Napoli now invades Barcelona's thirty-meter zone!"

The commentators quickly changed the topic of Pedro's single attack to the country of Java and shouted in unison.

※ ※ ※

Arshavin received the ball and tried to break through, but Mascherano, who was trying to defend him, took a step back, but he pushed the ball straight out. He went outside!

Both full-backs have rushed forward to attack and are now trying to defend as if their lives are on the line. The only people currently available in the penalty area are Piqué and Butzquez.

Butzquez was originally a defensive midfielder. Seeing that the defense was empty, he had to retreat to the penalty area and play as a central defender. Anyway, he has height, but his heading skills are a bit poor...

But it doesn't matter, Piqué is here to fight for the header.

He just needs to... be responsible for the interference.

There was only one person in their eyes now. As for Cassano who had already penetrated into the penalty area, Hamsik and Sanchez who rushed to the line of the penalty area... they didn't take it seriously.

They know very well that although they all look down on and despise this person off the court, that is the only person who poses the greatest threat to them at the moment.

In this attack, Chen Yingxiong has not touched the ball so far. He has been running. When Cassano ran to the wing to catch the ball, he moved towards Cassano, intending to meet Cassano. promise. But Cassano didn't pass the football to him, and he couldn't see it even if his back was turned...

Cassano passed the ball directly back to Sanchez.

When Chen Yingxiong saw this situation, he quickly changed his running route, ran back, and retreated to the front waistline. I plan to cooperate with Sanchez. He will act as a wall, Sanchez will pass the football to him, and then move forward, and he will pass the football again.

However, Sanchez did not take this route. He did see Chen Yingxiong, but perhaps he felt that Chen Yingxiong had his back to the attacking direction and was so far away from the goal that passing the football would not have much effect. Or maybe he thought passing the football to Hamsik would be more threatening than passing it to Chen Yingxiong.

In short, he passed the football to Hamsik.

Hamsik directly distributed the football to the wing and gave it to Arshavin.

At this time, Chen Yingxiong turned around and ran into the penalty area.

He didn't touch the football during this series of runs, and the offense seemed to have nothing to do with him. But he has to run, and this is running without the ball.

He has been practicing running without the ball for two seasons. This skill has long been integrated into Chen Yingxiong's body and has become his instinct. Many times, he doesn't even need to think about how he wants to run, his body will automatically carry him there. .

Just like this time.

※ ※ ※

Arshavin deceived Mascherano, but he did not give himself a chance to break through into the penalty area. Mascherano reacted quickly and followed immediately.

It would be very difficult for him to break through. Although the temptation after the breakthrough is also great...

He looked up and saw that there was currently no one in Barcelona's penalty area, but he had to take a longer view. Everything is in motion. Just because there is no one now, doesn’t mean there will be no one next second...

He adjusted his pace and made a cross!

At the same time, Chen Yingxiong's right foot stepped on the penalty area line.

Then he exerted his strength and kicked out.

Chen Yingxiong jumped up!

※ ※ ※

Pi Kui, who had been waiting for Chen Yingxiong to come to the goal in the penalty area, was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Yingxiong jump up just as he rushed to the edge of the penalty area.

Because this person took off...it seemed a little early?
