Chapter 393 Ox Tail

"O~Liverpool's formation today is different from the previous ones. Benitez has a lineup of three midfielders this time. It seems that Benitez is also very aware of the characteristics of Barcelona and specially arranged a lineup of three midfielders. In order to block the cooperation between Barcelona's midfield and frontcourt."

While the commentator was still explaining, Deco held the ball and carefully looked at Gerrard who was blocking him.The game went on for more than ten minutes. It can be said that Liverpool's three-back lineup suppressed Barcelona's midfield very well. At least so far, Barcelona's midfield cannot provide any help to the players in the frontcourt.

Knowing that Gerrard is physically strong and defensively strong, Deco did not take a breakthrough easily, but carefully protected the ball to prevent Gerrard's sudden steal, waiting quietly, waiting for his teammates to move.

Unfortunately, Harman, Alonso, and Kewell, who returned to defense, were all staring at the Barcelona midfielders, and George and Owen were also at the forefront, so that the Barcelona defenders did not dare to press up easily, lest they be intercepted by Liverpool for a quick attack.

Due to the needs of this book, Deco also came to Barcelona from Porto a season in advance, so Deco did not perform a dark horse miracle in Porto as in the original history, and was called Super Deco.

Seeing that Gerrard's defense is very calm and he doesn't shoot easily, Deco can't help it. He looked at the frontcourt, kicked up immediately, and passed the ball to Ronaldinho who was stretching out his hand on the left.

Deco has never been a player who is good at breakthroughs. Deco's characteristics are more about organization and midfield mobilization and passing.

Facing Deco's pass, Roma went up to meet him, jumped up slightly, stopped the ball with his chest, and then did not give Carragher behind him a chance to stick himself, turned around quickly, and at the same time was ready to break through at any time.

Carragher, who was about to stick to Ronaldinho, turned around quickly when he saw how flexible Ronaldinho's body was, as if he was ready to break through at any time.Seeing this, Carragher was complaining about his slow speed and not sticking to Ronaldinho in time, but at the same time he couldn't help concentrating, preparing to prevent Ronaldinho's breakthrough.

You know, Ronaldinho is definitely a nightmare for any defensive player.A breakthrough beyond imagination, flexible body, terrifying speed, and strong body, these are all the factors that a breakthrough player possesses.

Seeing Carragher staring at himself seriously, his legs were slightly bent, ready to defend.Ronaldinho couldn't help smiling, without thinking too much, he began to slowly approach Carragher with the ball, ready to make a breakthrough.

Indeed, in this world, I am afraid that there is no defensive player who can scare Ronaldinho.While Ronaldinho is breaking through, he will never consider who his opponent is or how strong his defense is.Because Ronaldinho has confidence in himself, and he has absolute confidence, believing that as long as he wants to, he can get past anyone.

"Oh~ Jamie and Ronaldinho are facing each other. It looks like the Brazilian is about to make a breakthrough. Jamie has to be careful." Seeing Ronaldinho preparing to make a breakthrough, the commentator couldn't help but feel worried for Carragher.I am afraid that people all over the world know that if the Brazilian on the field really danced the samba on the field, no one would be able to stop him.

As a South American player, Yepes played against Ronaldinho's Brazilian team in the national team. At this time, Yepes still clearly remembered that Ronaldinho's inadvertent explosion in the game at that time defeated his own Colombia with one pass and one shot.

Knowing how powerful Ronaldinho's breakthrough was, Yepes didn't expect Carragher to stop Ronaldinho, so Yepes couldn't help walking behind Carragher, standing five meters behind Carragher, ready to defend at any time.

When there was still two or three distances away from Carragher, Ronaldinho started his own samba dance, his feet slowly passed over the ball, and he came by bicycle at the beginning.

Seeing this, Carragher didn't dare to be careless, because Carragher knew very well that Ronaldinho was ready to break through at this time, as long as he was a little careless and distracted, he might be passed by the opponent in an instant.

Seeing himself pedaling the bicycle so slowly, Carragher turned a blind eye. Ronaldinho immediately understood that the guy in front of him was definitely a steady defensive player. If he was not absolutely sure, he would not choose to make a quick move.

Thinking of this, Ronaldinho also stopped the samba and decided to break through directly.At this time, Ronaldinho is only one meter away from Carragher, and the distance of one meter can basically be said to be the best distance whether it is the offensive side or the defensive side.

Suddenly, Ronaldinho used the instep of his right foot to flick the ball to the left of his front right, and at this moment, Carragher finally reacted, and directly started to lower his center of gravity to his left, kicked out, and intercepted the ball from his side.

And at this moment, Ronaldinho's right instep turned suddenly, relying on his own terrifying body flexibility, he used the inside of his foot to flick the ball to the front left again, and immediately accelerated.

"The ox's tail is amazing!" Seeing this scene, the narrator could no longer keep calm and silent, and exclaimed.

This time, Ronaldinho really used the bull's tail. Relying on his terrifying ball feel and reaction, as well as his abnormal flexibility, he forcibly changed the direction of the ball under extremely irregular circumstances.

In the face of Ronaldinho's fake breakthrough, Carragher also seemed very powerless. Although Carragher also knew that Ronaldinho often used this trick in La Liga, Carragher had to follow Ronaldinho's first breakthrough.

After all, the distance between the two sides is only a short one meter. If Carragher does not make a move, Ronaldinho can break through Carragher directly to the front right.With a distance of one meter, with Ronaldinho's explosive power and speed, it can be said that Carragher will not be given any chance to react.

However, Carragher finally chose to shoot, but even so, Carragher still couldn't stop Ronaldinho, and the effect of the kick was only to allow Ronaldinho to make a wonderful breakthrough.

"Oh~ Ronaldinho's breakthrough is really wonderful. I didn't expect to see such a wonderful breakthrough just after the start of the game. The next game will definitely be even more exciting. Uh~ Mario has already rushed over. Obviously, Mario absolutely wants to stop Ronaldinho."

Seeing that the game had only started more than ten minutes ago, there was such a wonderful and difficult surmounting on the court as Oxtail. Although he was a Barcelona player, the commentator still had to lament Ronaldinho's outstanding foot skills and body flexibility.

Although Smicer has also performed the oxtail before, but compared with Ronaldinho's oxtail this time, Smicer's oxtail is not qualified at all.Or in this world, in the trick of using the tail of an ox to surpass others, Ronaldinho should be in the forefront.

What the commentator said was not wrong. As early as Ronaldinho broke through Carragher, Yepes, who was ambushing behind Carragher, began to charge up.Obviously, Yepes knew that he might not be able to defend Ronaldinho in a one-on-one situation, so Yepes wanted to take advantage of Ronaldinho's moment in Carragher, when he had not fully grasped the ball, to intercept.

However, Yepes obviously underestimated Ronaldinho's outstanding ball at his feet. Facing the fast-approaching Carragher, Ronaldinho has not completely regained control of the ball, but even so, it cannot hinder and stop Ronaldinho's continued breakthrough.

Just when he was about to catch up with the ball, he found Yepes rushing over. Ronaldinho also gave up controlling the ball in an instant. Instead, he directly passed the ball behind Yepes, and he accelerated again and continued to chase the ball.

The ball was passed, it was so simple and elegant at the same time, and at this time, Ronaldinho also broke through Carragher and Yepes in a row, had caught up with the ball, and started cutting inside.

"Stop him, stick it up, stop him, don't let him hit the door." Seeing that Ronaldinho had trained the two of them like a god, Dudek couldn't help being surprised. Seeing that Ronaldinho started to cut in, he quickly reminded Hypia in front of him loudly.

In fact, as early as Ronaldinho scored past Yepes, Hyypia had already started to fill Carragher's position, thinking about Ronaldinho and rushing to stop Ronaldinho's shot.So when Dudek was taken aback and reminded Hypia, Hypia had successfully stopped between Dudek and Ronaldinho.

"Uh!" Seeing Hypia appearing in front of him, Ronaldinho couldn't help being taken aback. He looked around subconsciously and found that Liverpool's playback speed was very fast. Both Larson and Giuly were guarded by Harman and Gerrard, and Deco who was supporting and catching up, Alonso was also watching.

Seeing this situation, Ronaldinho also understood that there was no way to pass the ball to his teammates for assists, so he could only choose to do it alone.Hearing the sound of panting, Ronaldinho knew very well that Carragher and Yepes, who had been broken by him, were desperately chasing back. If he didn't shoot again, he might not have a chance to shoot.

Thinking of this, Ronaldinho looked up at the goal and Dudek's position. Although there was a mountain like Hypia standing in front of him, Ronaldinho directly ignored the existence of Hypia, relying on the judgment of the goal and Dudek's position, he kicked the goal directly from the spot.

Don't look at Ronaldinho's lack of run-up, but Ronaldinho, who shoots on the spot, is also very powerful. The speed of the ball is very fast, and it circles around the inner arc of Hyypia and flies towards the far corner of the goal.

"Heh!" With a roar, Dudek raised his head and stared at the ball in the air, and quickly backed up. When the ball accelerated and fell, he jumped up and dragged the ball out of the baseline with one palm.

"Oh, it's beautiful, it's really beautiful. Dudek's save was very wonderful. Although the Brazilian's shot was very sudden and powerful, Dudek still managed to hold the ball out of the baseline and defuse Barcelona's attack."

As the ball was lifted out of the bottom line by Dudek's single palm, the originally quiet Anfield stadium suddenly boiled, and all the Red Army fans gave applause to Dudek who made a wonderful save.

You must know that following Ronaldinho's wonderful and crazy breakthrough at the beginning, the fans suddenly fell silent, because everything they saw in their eyes seemed to tell themselves that Ronaldinho was unstoppable, so the atmosphere in the stadium was always very depressed.However, as Dudek lifted the ball out of the baseline with one palm, the fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, shouting frantically, venting their nervousness just now.

Seeing his shot being pushed out of the baseline by Dudek, Ronaldinho also shrugged his shoulders indifferently, smiled at Hyypia who was standing in front of him, and said nothing.

After all, Ronaldinho didn't expect his shot to score a goal when he shot. After all, no matter from the angle or position, unless his luck was really good, or Dudek made a low-level mistake, otherwise, his shot was basically hopeless.

The reason why he chose to shoot was just because he didn't want to waste a chance to attack. After all, he had no chance to pass the ball, and if he didn't shoot, he would be entangled by the retreating Carragher and Yepes, and he would have no chance to shoot.Since this is the case, I might as well shoot and gamble on luck, at least I can get a corner kick.

Barcelona's chance to get the first corner kick in the audience, but to be honest, there is really no one in Barcelona's offensive line who has a good header ability.Although Larson has a good header ability, under the protection of the strong Hypia, he was completely frozen by Hypia.

As for Jiuli, his height and body are not even as good as Kewell, let alone rushing into the penalty area for a header.Ronaldinho's body and height are indeed there, but in terms of heading, Ronaldinho's level is really not very good.

Under such circumstances, Barcelona's corner kick seemed no threat to Liverpool. Yepes jumped high and directly gave the ball to Kewell at the top of the penalty area.

"Kewell got the ball, Kewell started to accelerate, and rushed towards Barcelona's half with the ball. At this time, in Barcelona's backcourt, there were only two Edmilson and Puyol left. George and Irving were starting to run. This is a good opportunity for Liverpool to counterattack." (Edmilson, like Deco and Giuly, also came to Barcelona a year earlier for the same reason as the two)
Seeing Kewell rushing towards his own half with the ball frantically, Harvey and Motta quit immediately and rushed towards Kewell, preparing to stop Kewell, at least to slow down Kewell's forward speed and buy time for his teammates to retreat.

Motta, who has dual citizenship in Brazil and Italy, has made a thorough decision to join the Brazilian nationality this year to represent Brazil.Motta is a strong midfielder with outstanding skills at his feet and strong interception ability. Coupled with his height of 187cm, Motta has a great advantage in high-altitude balls.

Facing the menacing Motta rushing up, Kewell did not choose to break through, but directly handed the ball to Irving on the right, while he continued to accelerate, overtook Motta, and continued to rush towards Barcelona's penalty area, ready to respond at any time.

Owen knew that Puyol's defense was strong, and his reaction and speed were very fast, so he did not take a breakthrough, but passed the ball directly to George on the left, and he continued to cut towards Barcelona's penalty area, preparing to play a two-for-one with George.

Puyol, who has rich experience in the game, knew what Owen was playing the moment Owen passed the ball and started to move, and immediately reminded his teammates loudly: Pay attention to the opponent's two-to-one.And Puyol himself continued to chase Owen.

However, Puyol's worries seemed superfluous. Just after getting a pass from Irving, it can be said that just after stopping the ball, Edmilson directly slid the ball, broke the ball, and at the same time caused George to fall to the ground severely.

It turned out that Edmilson started to activate as early as the moment Irving passed the ball, so when George just stopped the ball, Edmilson, who had already slid and shoveled, did not give George any time to react, and directly broke the ball.

"O~ Edmilson broke the ball under George's feet. The Brazilian's performance is really good. I don't know whether Barcelona is a La Liga club or a Brazilian club. How come there are so many Brazilians in the team."
Seeing that Liverpool's offense was destroyed by Edmilson, the commentator had no choice. After all, Edmilson's tackle was very clean, and he did not give the commentator, fans and referee any excuses or reasons for trouble.But the reason why the commentator is a commentator, so there is no doubt about that mouth, it is really poisonous.

No, seeing that there was no way to find trouble with Edmilson, the commentator began to satirize Barcelona again, thinking that Barcelona was not a Spanish team at all, but more like a Brazilian team because there were many Brazilians in the team.

You must know that in any team, the main players of the team are the most players, let alone a wealthy club like Barcelona. The players in it can be said to be a collection of national football elites.

However, there is still a problem with Barcelona at this time. Although the number of Spaniards in the Barcelona team is the largest, in terms of main players, the Spaniards are not as many as the Brazilians.

Looking at Barcelona's starting lineup, there are only Valdes, Puyol, and Xavi in ​​Spain. Look at the Brazilians in the Barcelona team: Edmilson, two full-backs: Sylvinho and Belletti, Motta, and Ronaldinho are all Brazilians. If Deco is not added to the Portuguese nationality, he is also a Brazilian.

It can be said that Barcelona's main lineup at this time basically occupies half of the country. For a top-notch club, especially for a club that is not a Brazilian club, ignoring it is a very embarrassing thing.

However, Edmilson was not affected by the commentator, or he ignored it. When he broke the ball at George's feet, he immediately passed the ball to Sylvinho on the side.

Depressedly getting up from the ground, George looked at Owen at the side, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, expressing that there was nothing he could do, and at the same time stretched out his thumb to Owen, expressing that Owen passed the ball well.

Seeing George's reaction, Owen had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, expressing that he could understand.

"Larson's shot was so dangerous, it was almost there, and Barcelona was about to score." When George was still communicating with Owen, Barcelona had already completed a quick counterattack.

Or because of Liverpool's counterattack just now, George was suddenly intercepted, and the midfielder hadn't had time to prepare for defense, giving Barcelona a chance for mid-length players.Harvey passed the ball with a big foot, and the ball came to Ronaldinho's feet. Ronaldinho slid past Yepes' defense, found a gap directly, and passed the ball to the penalty area. Larson directly got the ball and passed Hyypia to hit the goal. It's a pity that Larson's shot was a little anxious, and the ball finally went slightly wide and rolled out of the baseline.

But even so, Larson's shot scared everyone in Liverpool into a cold sweat.At this time, it also made everyone realize how terrifying Barcelona's midfield is, that is, as long as you have a slight loophole, you may lose a goal.

Seeing this situation, Lao Bei had no choice but to stand on the sidelines again, yelling loudly at Gerrard's three midfielders, signaling the three to cheer up and pay attention to defense.

(Because it is difficult to find the information of the whole Barcelona season in 03-04, all the players are written after 04. I hereby explain it. Don’t be surprised if you see it.)
