Chapter 160 Ronaldinho
Pei Wei, who tried his best to prove himself in the game against Barcelona, ​​found a fact in frustration on the first day of the game. Because his performance in the previous few games was really bad, Manzano did not let him The reason for starting, so after the game started, he sat on the bench.

Pei Wei pouted and sat on the bench sulking, but he wasn't resenting Manzano, but was angry with himself. He Jin's words let him know that it was completely unnecessary for him to worry about the future of the Olympic team. Just a player, all he has to do is play well.He has no ability to take care of other messy things, and he doesn't need to take care of them.

This season, Barcelona made a series of adjustments to the team after the new chairman Laporta took office. The Dutch veteran Frank De Boer was sent back to the Netherlands by the team, and the Argentine who just transferred to Barcelona last season Kerme was loaned to Villarreal, and he was replaced by Brazilian star Ronaldinho. At the same time, he also invited the former famous star, "Black Swan" Rijkaard, one of the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands". As the head coach of the team, but the performance has not been good since the start of this year. After the seven rounds of the league, they have two wins, three draws and two losses. What is surprising is that they have not yet won a game at home. Recently, they have It was a two-game losing streak, losing to Deportivo and Valencia in a row. The two draws and two losses can be said to be the worst start for Barcelona at home in ten years. pressure.

But what Manzano noticed was another point. Barcelona's away record has been very good so far, with two wins and one draw to remain unbeaten. In this game, Barcelona is playing away against Mallorca!
People who play football are somewhat superstitious, but in fact, there are many such unclear things in international football. Who always behaves like shit at home against whom in the game, and who has not won for many years Who is it, who is who's biggest nemesis, etc. Although the head coaches have never verbally admitted that there is such a thing, they are still a little afraid of these "conventions" in their hearts.

And Barcelona this season has come up with such a small "routine". Although it is not obvious, who can guarantee that this "routine" will continue?

To be on the safe side, Manzano's lineup is still the main lineup. Except for Pei Wei, the other main players are all starting. He can't afford to lose this game.

Pei Wei's eyes were fixed on Ronaldinho running on the field. He Jin spoke highly of Ronaldinho on the phone, but Pei Wei hadn't watched Ronaldinho's games a few times. The most impressive one was probably in the 2002 World Cup The free kick that was hoisted into Seaman's goal 40 meters away, but Pei Wei felt that a large part of luck was involved in that goal. No player in the world can boast that he was [-]% sure.

But shortly after the start of the game, Pei Wei had to admit that maybe the Ronaldinho in Paris Saint-Germain could not be regarded as a world-class star, but the Ronaldinho on the field is definitely a phenomenon.

With erratic running positions, he not only appears in the front midfielder position, but also in the center and left of the frontcourt, Ronaldinho can be seen everywhere, even in the penalty area!

Ismail has suffered a lot, so don't stare at Ronaldinho. This guy is too dangerous. He can send a threatening ball no matter where he is. Just stare at him. The door may open in the middle. Haha behind Ronaldinho Vi and Motta are not vegetarians either.

Ronaldinho made a breakthrough on the left to get rid of Potenza's defense, and then sent the ball beautifully into the penalty area. Kluivert jumped up from the center and headed the goal. Fortunately, Bolano was quick to support the ball over the crossbar with one hand. .

Ronaldinho personally took the corner kick, Nadal rushed ahead to make a clearance, Ismail sent the ball to Garcia's feet immediately, and Mallorca counterattacked!

Garcia was very excited before the game, just like all abandoned players when they face their former owners. He wanted to use his performance in this game to explain to Barcelona that he was not rejected by the team because of his strength. Abandoned!

Relying on the advantage of speed, he easily got rid of Xavi, and then sent a through ball before Mota came up, and Eto'o made a quick start!
Just as the ball was about to fall to Eto'o's feet, a figure suddenly grabbed the ball and intercepted it. Puyol's accurate judgment disintegrated a very threatening attack by Mallorca.

"Go on!" Puyol yelled, and then passed the ball to Ronaldinho, who did not return to defense.

Campano, who was running forward, was unable to stop the ball. Ronaldinho stopped the ball lightly with his foot, and the ball bounced to two meters in front. Then Ronaldinho took two steps forward, towards Mallorca The right bottom line rushed in!

Potenza met him, and he followed Ronaldinho carefully, and did not rush out to steal the ball.

Ever since Ronaldinho swayed him when he made a rash move just now, he has put all his energy into dealing with this guy with messy hair and two rabbit teeth.He wanted the Brazilian to know how good Italian defense is.

There seems to be no good way to face this cautious opponent Ronaldinho. Potenza has already blocked all his inside routes, and it seems that a breakthrough is unlikely.

Off the field, Pei Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Ronaldinho has only one way to go now, and that is to cross, but Barcelona's striker in the penalty area does not have an advantage in height, and there is no threat if the pass passes.

Putting myself in the situation, if it was Pei Wei himself, I am afraid that he would have to find a way to create a corner kick.

Just as he was thinking this way, Ronaldinho moved.

Ronaldinho has been forced to the bottom line by Potenza. When Potenza was about to stretch out his foot to steal the ball, Ronaldinho suddenly pulled the ball toward the baseline with his left foot. It seemed that he wanted to shake the ball with his own speed. Create an open space to pass the ball into the penalty area.

Potenza immediately stretched out his feet to block. Although he believed that his side had the advantage in height in the penalty area, as a defender, he could not allow the opponent to cross so easily.

But what he didn't expect was that Ronaldinho could still make fake moves under such circumstances.

Ronaldinho's left foot attached to the ball suddenly pulled out quickly, and then his left foot reached the other side of the ball before the ball was about to go out of the baseline, and then Ronaldinho dunked the ball back and shook it easily Past the stunned Potenza.

Toss the oxtail!Pei Wei off the court also widened his eyes. It is not surprising that Ronaldinho made this move. You must know that this kind of move is the patent of Brazilian players. What surprised him was that Ronaldinho had a good grasp of the timing and movement How coherent, and the flexible ankle that seems to have no bones!
First, he pretended to be forced to a dead end by Potenza, making Potenza think that Ronaldinho had no choice but to force a cross, and then dunked to the bottom line, making Potenza completely think that Ronaldinho was going to cross and relax the other side. Defensively, Potenza walked into Ronaldinho's trap step by step without knowing it.

And it took less than two seconds for Ronaldinho to complete this series of actions.

"Can I do it?" Pei Wei asked himself in his heart.

On the field, after breaking through, Ronaldinho took advantage of the opportunity to cut into the penalty area. Ronaldinho's fake move not only confused Potenza, but also confused other Mallorca defenders in the penalty area. After Ronaldinho took a few steps, Nino rushed over Block him, but at this moment, Ronaldinho flicked his ankle, and the ball accurately flew to the feet of Saviola who was ambushing in the penalty area. "Rabbit" easily pushed the ball less than five meters away from the goal. No response at all, 1:0!

In the 9th minute of the first half, Barcelona took the lead away from Mallorca!

Conceding the goal so early caused Mallorca to be in disarray, unable to organize an effective offense for a while, while Barcelona, ​​led by Ronaldinho, launched wave after wave of offensives against Mallorca, making Mallorca's defenders Exhausted.

Mallorca had a few counterattacks, but Ibagaza and Campano on the two wings were completely marked by Barcelona's Reziger and Van Bronhorst, and Delgado became a player without a cross. The decorations, and Eto'o was also under strict supervision by Puyol, and there were few opportunities to get the ball, and Garcia couldn't make any waves under the joint efforts of Xavi and Motta.

"Ismail! Don't stay in the backcourt all the time, let me go forward more, don't worry about Ronaldinho, he will be handed over to Potenza, and you can attack!" Manzano shouted from the sidelines.

Ismail heard Manzano's words. He is also a midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities. There is a threat.

After Garcia got rid of Xavi, he passed the ball to the left. Ibagaza relied on speed to make a strong breakthrough after getting the ball, but his opponent, Dutch veteran Reziger, was also good at speed. Ibagaza couldn't get rid of his opponent. , he stopped suddenly, and then continued to accelerate forward. Reziger was hit by a time lag, so he had to watch helplessly as he swayed a gap and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Delgado was nearly ten centimeters taller than Cocu who was marking him. He jumped high and headed towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Valdés made a brilliant save, the goalkeeper from the Barcelona youth team, with a beautiful side throw, and the must-go goal was played over the baseline.

Ibagaza took a corner, Eto'o headed in and the ball hit the side netting.

During this period, Mallorca had a certain advantage, but it was a pity that Garcia's pass was still a little short of heat, and did not form an actual blow to Barcelona, ​​which also made Manzano sigh off the court.

In the 305th minute of the first half, Mallorca's attack was disintegrated by the opponent. Barcelona's quick counterattack, Ismail was forced to bring down Ronaldinho not far from the center circle, and Barcelona's free kick.

"Good job!" Manzano applauded off the court and signaled. Ismail's foul was timely and the action was not big, but it prevented a counterattack that might be very threatening.

This free kick is about 40 meters away from the goal, and it is still a little to the left. It seems that the threat is not great.

Pei Wei looked at the time, and it was less than 10 minutes before the end of the first half: "If you are only behind by one goal, it will be easy..."

Just as he was thinking this way, Ronaldinho walked into the penalty spot.

"This distance...does he want to shoot directly?" Pei Wei immediately denied this idea: "No way? The angle is not good. If you shoot hard and long, the ball will fly in the air for too long and it will be easy for the goalkeeper to get it. Does he still want to shoot lobs like in the World Cup? Bolano is not 40 years old ... it will definitely pass into the penalty area."

Not only did he think so, but other Mallorca players also thought so, including goalkeeper Bolano.

Ronaldinho took a few steps back, then looked up at the players in the penalty area.

His action strengthened Bolano's confidence in his pass, and he moved two steps forward, ready to attack and take the ball.

The referee's whistle sounded, Ronaldinho grinned, and then tapped the lawn with his right foot and started running!
Ronaldinho ran close to the ball with small steps, stepped hard on the side of the ball with his right foot, raised his left foot high, and pumped the lower part of the ball!
The ball flew into the air, flew across Mallorca's half with a "swish", and flew into the penalty area.

Bolano ran two steps forward and was about to jump up to catch the ball, but he was shocked immediately. The ball flew much higher than he thought, and his outstretched hands just caught a cloud of air!
Pei Wei stood up off the court, watched the ball pass over Bolano's head, then fell quickly, passed over the head of Wang Xiaomin who was guarding in front of the goal, and fell into the empty goal!
"Wow!" There was a huge exclamation in the sky above the stadium, and the Mallorca fans cried out unconsciously!
"The ball... the ball went in!" The commentator on the scene was also stunned by this incredible goal, and his commentary became stuttering: "Xiao... Ronaldinho! He scored a goal 40 meters away. Free kick! God! This goal is unbelievable!"

Pei Wei's eyes followed Ronaldinho running on the field, and he was also shocked by this goal. It is not easy to send a 40-meter free kick into the penalty area and let his teammates grab it. Ronaldinho actually shot directly and scored!
A free kick with perfect angle, power and arc.

"Can I do it?" This is the second time Pei Wei asked himself. Although he is famous for his long shots, at this distance, he dare not say that he can hit it, right?

Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, how did you do it?Are all Brazilian players such monsters?
A bad chance can be converted into a goal by him. Is this the power of a star?Using such a key goal to break down the morale of the opponent when the team is in difficulty, Ronaldinho really has the strength to become Barcelona's revival!
"Should it be a coincidence?" Manzano murmured.

But whether it is accidental or inevitable, Barcelona has two goals ahead of Mallorca, and the situation is very favorable for them.
