Chapter 523: Volume Four: The Storm Is Really Strong

Defense is handy for George Wood.

"George Wood made a header! Barcelona's corner kick did not pose any threat to Forest's goal!"

"Why Tony Twain was full of confidence in this game before the game, I think it has something to do with him now having a George Wood who can play. Wood has fully proved his ability in the Premier League, but Barcelona obviously still treat him Some strange..."

The commentator was praising Wood, while Ronaldinho was thinking about how to get rid of this annoying object in front of him.

At this stage, when Barcelona counterattacked, George Wood followed the Brazilian like a shadow, wherever Ronaldinho went, he went there. Since being rid of once just now, Wood has been inseparable.

Now, Ronaldinho can only organize the attack by passing the ball again.

Take the ball as little as possible and get as many kicks as possible. This is Ronaldinho's current strategy.

Is there no other way?

Just kidding, who is Ronaldinho and what team is Barcelona? Would it be reasonable to be entangled because of a George Wood?

Rijkaard bit his finger and was thinking of countermeasures. Ronaldinho is the core of the team, and almost all offenses revolve around him. If he is frozen by George Wood, how will the team's offense be adjusted?

※ ※ ※

Twenty-five minutes later, the score is still 1:0, and the visiting team Nottingham Forest temporarily takes the lead.

Barcelona is still unremittingly attacking, and has no intention of slacking off because of the fruitless consecutive attacks.

Tony Twain obviously underestimated Barcelona's energy. Their morale was not low after returning without success. On the contrary, their morale was high now, threatening the Forest team's penalty area over and over again. In the eyes of Barcelona people, it is a great shame to be led by a goal at home by the opponent they least want to lose. How could they let it go?

Ronaldinho found that George Wood didn't intend to leave himself to defend others, so he suddenly made up his mind.

Harvey passed the ball up, the Brazilian turned his back to George Wood and passed the ball to Deco, while he ran sideways, George Wood followed up.

Ronaldinho took away George Wood, and the center of the Forest team's penalty area was immediately empty. At this time, Harvey inserted very well, and Deco quickly passed the ball to him. In front of the Forest team's penalty area, without Wood, there will be a lot less trouble.

Harvey made a gesture to pass the ball from side to side, but suddenly kicked and shot!

Van der Sar reacted quickly and flew to grab the football.

Although this attack still did not break through the Forest team's gate, the Barcelona players have seen hope-Ronaldinho is no longer the core of the offense, but he can distract Barcelona's defense, as long as he is there, George .Where is Wood. Once George Wood was pulled out, the pressure on Barcelona to attack from the front dropped a lot. Look at Harvey's shot just now.

Rijkaard stood up from his seat and applauded Harvey's long-range shot just now. The team's approach just now was very good.

George Wood stood beside Ronaldinho, looking back at Van der Sar who was getting up from the ground.

He knew that he was pulled away from his defense zone by Ronaldinho just now, and then caused the opponent's long-range shot. He knows, but what can he do? The next time you face this kind of situation unmoved, just stay where you are and wait for the opponent to take another long shot? Barcelona players are not fools, they will definitely pass the ball to the unmarked Ronaldinho.

Is this a multiple choice question?

George Wood didn't know. The boss asked him to freeze Ronaldinho, and he would freeze Ronaldinho... As for the rest, leave it to his teammates. He is not an omnipotent God, and he can handle all defensive tasks by himself.

Who is more dangerous, Ronaldinho or the other Barcelona players? George Wood chose the former.

As a result, Barcelona's offense became Ronaldinho leading Wood around in circles, constantly using triangle passes to create opportunities for his teammates, and he had almost no other role except for quick passes.

Harvey and Iniesta became the team's real offensive organizers, Eto'o fell into Forest's densely compressed defensive formation, and Messi became the most active striker.

Gareth Bale has to put all his energy on defense, and it is still a bit difficult to deal with Messi. This person is too threatening on the wing.

"Messi passed Bale, beautiful... He burst into the penalty area! Shot! Blocked by Piqué! It's dangerous!"

"Messi dribbled sideways, Bale was following him... Foul! Barcelona got a free kick at the front of the box, great position, Ronaldinho came up to take it - finally saw him again...ahh , What a pity, it flew out of the bottom line by rubbing against the crossbeam!"

...

Situations like this kept happening in the second half of the first half.

Tang En couldn't sit still.

He got up from his seat, walked out and walked around and came back.

"Tony..." Chris Lark looked up at Tang En who was standing in front of the coach's bench.

"I don't know if this is Rijkaard's idea..." Dunn turned his head and looked at the Barcelona coach bench next door and said, "Sacrifice Ronaldinho and drag George out of the battle. They lost Ronaldinho Oh, and Messi, and Xavi, Iniesta, Deco... What the hell! Those who freeze others are frozen by others..."

Hearing what Tang En said, Tang raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was fifteen minutes before the end of the first half.

Piqué was chanting on the pitch to get his teammates involved in the defensive work, George Wood was entangled in Ronaldinho and the team's defense needed everyone's help. After all, Barcelona's offense is too powerful, and a slight negligence may result in a loss of the ball.

"How about... let Wood temporarily give up marking Ronaldinho?" Chris Lack said.

His suggestion was vetoed by Tang En on the spot: "No, Ronaldinho is an extremely dangerous person, and we cannot relax our defense against him. I would rather sacrifice George... At worst, we will be 10v10! Our defense is not only relying on George, It was paralyzing without George. Piqué did a great job, he was in a good shape today."

"Going back to Barcelona, ​​let him be a little excited..." Chris Lack said.

"Hold here for fifteen minutes. We'll consider making adjustments during the halftime break..." Tang En turned around and returned to the sidelines after speaking. This game is not easy to play...

※ ※ ※

Everyone could see that Barcelona's offensive was like a wave, threatening Nottingham Forest's goal wave after wave. If they were luckier, they might have broken through the gate guarded by Van der Sar.

Twain adopted the strategy of shrinking the back line to prevent Eto'o's speed, but in this way, Barcelona left too much room for movement at the front of the penalty area.

The Barcelona players passed back and forth in this area, mobilizing the Forest team's defense, and then took advantage of the Forest team's players to focus on one point, and then suddenly passed to the wing. Eto'o has left the center and moved to the wing. He and Messi are on the left and one on the right, ready to catch the ball and cut inside.

A sudden direct pass in front of the penalty area is a trick Barcelona is very good at. The Forest team had to increase all their attention to prevent this kind of penetrating pass. Once the football was allowed to pass through, it was almost a bad situation where the opponent and goalkeeper Van der Sar were one-on-one. Van der Sar cannot be expected to strike in time to defuse the crisis every time.

Ronaldinho became a center forward, appearing in the middle again and again, attracting the attention of George Wood and others, and then suddenly pulled away to create opportunities for others.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it must still be fixed at 1:0.

Rijkaard also got up from the coach seat and walked to the sidelines.

For him, he can't take this score to halftime, it would be a blow to morale. If you can, try to equalize the score before the end of the first half. This is a good way to hit the morale of the Forest team.

Standing on the sidelines, Rijkaard kept using gestures to tell the players on the field to let them press on and on and on and on and on, to set off an offensive frenzy at the last moment.

Tang En shouted loudly on the other side to make the players pay attention to defense. He also knew that it was best not to concede points before the end of the first half.

George Wood couldn't tolerate Ronaldinho pulling him away from the defense zone again, and then watched his opponent wreak havoc at the front of the penalty area.

When the football was passed to Ronaldinho again, he chose to defend suddenly from the side and rear.

Ronaldinho did not expect George Wood to move so fast. What he can do now is not to pass the ball, but how to protect the ball from the opponent to grab it and fight back directly.

Seeing Wood hit his body from the side and rear, Ronaldinho wisely chose to fall forward. George Wood hit again, stretched out his foot and knocked off the football, but heard the referee blowing the whistle Sound, he fouled!

"George Wood fouled! Ronaldinho protected the football very well, and Barcelona now has a direct free kick about... twenty meters away from the goal. This may be an opportunity, Ronaldinho had previously There was a free-kick just a little over the bar."

George Wood felt that he was wronged. When he played in the English league, he defended a lot. Even if he pushed the opponent to the ground, the referee would rarely call him a foul. But he didn't step forward to argue with the referee, which is not what he is good at.

He imitated Albertini and stood in front of the football to prevent Barcelona from taking the ball ahead of time. However, he was obviously overwhelmed. The Barcelona people did not intend to take advantage of the opportunity to make a surprise attack. The players were running forward. Ronaldinho and Deco stood in front of the ball and watched the Forest team line up the wall quietly. , waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.

Seeing that they had no intention of kicking off immediately, Wood also retreated. He did not participate in the wall, and he stood on the other side, staring at Messi.

Deco stood before the fall and was discussing with Ronaldinho how to play the ball with his head down.

Harvey is crowded in the forest team's human wall, intending to use this as a breakthrough. The Forest players were trying to push him out and there was some physical contact and the referee ran over to mediate. As a result of the mediation, Harvey took a place on the far left side of Nottingham Forest's human wall.

Deco backed away, he didn't intend to kick the ball, now everyone's eyes are on Ronaldinho, this is a direct free kick, he can choose to shoot directly, or he can choose to pass The ball...but will he choose to pass it?

No.

Ronaldinho stepped back and opened up the run-up distance.

George Wood looked at Ronaldinho with one eye, and glanced at Messi beside him with the other to prevent the kid from taking the opportunity to make a follow-up shot.

Throughout the first half, Ronaldinho was frozen by George Wood. Except for a wonderful personal breakthrough, he was always surrounded by that annoying fly, buzzing and annoying.

It's all right now, without George Wood by his side, he can swing his legs comfortably.

He looked at Nottingham Forest's human wall, then at the goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar standing behind the human wall, then at the referee who stepped aside, and finally he turned his attention to George Wood in the crowd.

Seeing Wood standing next to Messi, a smile appeared on his face.

Now... you can finally stop me.

"Ronaldinho smiled confidently! This happy football elf must be at his best when he smiles! Let us enjoy his performance quietly..."

Out of emphasis, Nottingham Forest lined up a frontal human wall composed of six people. Xavi, wearing a red and blue Barcelona jersey, appeared on the left side of the human wall like a gap in the wall. The Forest players are putting pressure on him, intending to squeeze Xavi out as soon as Ronaldinho takes the ball and fill the gap quickly.

They did that, Ronaldinho shot the ball, Xavi was like running sideways, Forest's wall broke right down the middle, half the men stayed put and jumped to stop the ball from going over their heads easily, the other half Squeeze to the left, sealing off the space created by Xavi's departure - they think Ronaldinho will definitely shoot the football here, otherwise what is Xavi trying to squeeze in?

But they all made a mistake, the football did not fly to the left side of the human wall, but went directly from the middle, passing between the two halves of the human wall!

Van der Sar's sight was blocked, and he didn't expect Ronaldinho to shoot the football from this place. He couldn't make a save, and watched the football fly around his hand and fly into the goal!

"Beautiful goal - Ronaldinho! King of Barcelona!"

There was thunderous cheers and applause at the Nou Camp, Rijkaard raised his arms and jumped from the ground.

On the other side, Tony Twain waved his hand fiercely, but the disappointment on his face was fleeting.

Although a little disappointed, conceding the ball is indeed expected.

The Barcelona players celebrated wildly as Van der Sar picked the ball out of the net and kicked it forward.

George Wood turned his head to look at Ronaldinho surrounded by Barcelona players, then turned and ran towards the center circle.

It is really strong.
