Chapter 394 Two Goals
Liverpool's three-back midfielder revitalization zone did have a good effect, at least successfully cutting off the cooperation between Barcelona's midfielder and frontcourt players.But that's all. If the majestic Barcelona's offensive line is frozen to death by Liverpool, then Barcelona will not reach the quarter-finals, let alone become one of the giants in La Liga.

Nonsense, although Liverpool's three-back midfielder is very strong defensively, if it is true that it can defend against Barcelona, ​​then other teams in La Liga can try four-back midfielders in the future. Doesn't that mean that Barcelona is over.

Of course not, no, after half an hour of competition, Barcelona's midfielder gradually began to adapt to Liverpool's three-back defense.The cooperation between each other has become more and more tacit, and at the same time, the distance between each other has been widened, making Liverpool's three midfielders overwhelmed.

With the continuous passing between Deco, Harvey and Motta, there was no rush, just passing the ball patiently, looking for opportunities.When the opportunity arises, any one of Barcelona's three midfielders can seize this opportunity and deliver the ball to the teammate he wants to deliver.

If there is really no way to find an opportunity, it is easy, just pass the ball directly to Ronaldinho and the Frenchman Giuly, and let the two rely on their own speed and foot skills to play singles.

Undoubtedly, when Barcelona's offense is active, it is definitely a nightmare for any team's defense and goalkeeper.

No, in the 32nd minute of the game, Deco handed the ball directly to Giuly. Giuly and Riise had a 30-meter short-distance speed competition, then opened a gap and passed the ball to Larson in the penalty area.

However, Larson didn't catch the ball, he was just preparing to shoot and passed Giuly's pass.And behind Larson, Ronaldinho, who followed closely, immediately pushed and shot, but unfortunately the ball hit the side net.

"It's dangerous. After all, Mario has played [-] points. We can't let the Brazilian be so active anymore." Seeing that Ronaldinho almost broke the goal, the commentator couldn't help reminding, and he didn't know whether he was reminding Yepes or Liverpool's defenders.

Reminders are reminders, knowing is knowing, but whether you can prevent it is another matter.At least for now, it is obvious that Yepes alone cannot stop the Brazilian from performing samba at Anfield.

Therefore, in the following time, the Brazilian samba dance was frequently staged, and Yepes was repeatedly broken and humiliated by Ronaldinho as a result.Although Yepes has been desperate, the gap in strength between the two sides is too great. Ronaldinho still breaks through the pass or cuts in to shoot.

"It's hard for Mario to let go of the Brazilian by himself. Do you want to think of a way to get Jamie to help? Anyway, Larsson is the only one in Barcelona's forward line, defending the two Barcelona wingers, the Brazilian and the French. I believe that with Sami's strength, Larsson has no chance."

Seeing that Yepes was beaten by Ronaldinho alone, assistant coach Thompson also said to the head coach Lao Bei with some worry.Thompson is worried that if this continues, it may leave a deep shadow in Yepes' heart.

"Well~ I know this, but it doesn't matter. Didn't you see that Jamie also discovered this problem, and the standing position is a bit to the right!"

Hearing Thompson's proposal, Lao Bei nodded in agreement, but did not stand on the sidelines to remind loudly.Because Lao Bei has already discovered that Jamie already knows that Yepes cannot stop Ronaldinho by himself, so he also starts to stand to the right, ready to deploy defense at any time.

Hearing what Old Bei said, Thompson couldn't help but look up, and found that it was indeed what Old Bei said, and after Carragher started preparing to deploy his defenses, he felt relieved.

"Oh my god~ the Brazilian broke through Mario again, and Jamie rushed up, uh~ did you make a foul?" When Ronaldinho danced the samba again, broke through Mario and went towards Liverpool's penalty area, Carragher, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed to Ronaldinho at this time, and at the same time he directly tackled the ball without thinking, which was an obvious foul.

"Damn it, what do you guys want to do?" Seeing the team's Copa del Rey Carragher down fiercely, Deco was upset and rushed to Carragher's side, spitting angrily.

"Uh~ Damn, I'm like this, I can't bear to go back to your mother's arms." Seeing Deco yelling at himself, Carragher certainly wouldn't be polite. There are no cowards in the Red Army, so Carragher naturally retorted back unceremoniously.

"Quiet, let me be quiet, you two, be honest with me." Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, the referee suddenly appeared like timely rain, separated the two, and gave a verbal warning.

Uh~ To be more precise, it was a verbal warning to Deco. As for Carragher, the referee showed a yellow card without hesitation. After all, Carragher's foul just now was indeed a bit dangerous.

For his own yellow card, Carragher shrugged indifferently and did not argue.You must know that Carragher is not a fool, and he will not be reckless. The reason why he chose to foul, and the nature is a bit bad and serious, is just to warn the Brazilians, don’t be too arrogant. This is Anfield Stadium, and your opponent is Liverpool who has never been afraid. If you continue to be arrogant, I will definitely smash you.

Seeing that the referee also showed Carragher a yellow card, the Barcelona players had nothing to say. Although Carragher's foul was a bit dangerous, Ronaldinho was not injured and did not reach the level of receiving a red card, so he chose to remain silent.

Due to Carragher's foul, Barcelona won a free kick from 28 meters to the left, and this distance and position, both for Ronaldinho and Deco, are good scoring opportunities.Therefore, Deco and Ronaldinho naturally stood in front of the ball and prepared to take this free kick.

"Go a little to the right! Go a little to the right, it's blocked!" Dudek stood in front of the goal, directing the position of the human wall, hoping that the human wall could block the free kick angle of Ronaldinho and Deco as much as possible.

In the restricted area, players from both sides are already crowded at this time. Although the referee has not blown his whistle, the players from both sides have already started to get stuck in the restricted area at this time, hoping to win a better position.

Ronaldinho and Deco had a brief discussion. When the referee whistled, Deco first started to run, accelerated, raised his leg, rubbed the ball with the inner side of his right foot, and flew towards the near corner of the goal.

Although the human wall blocked the angle of Deco's shot, it also blocked Dudek's sight.However, Dudek's reaction was still very fast. When he saw the ball flying towards the near corner of the goal, he immediately jumped sideways, stretched his body in the air, and rushed towards the ball.

"Okay!" Dudek couldn't help being overjoyed when he felt his hand touched the ball.

But at this time, an accident happened, and the ball was not pushed out of the baseline by Dudek. What's more, at that time, Dudek just wanted to lift the ball out of the baseline, and there was nothing he could do.Although the ball was blocked by Dudek's right hand, due to the strong rotation of Deco's shot, the ball flew towards the center of the penalty area.

And at this moment, Larson, the old monster, suddenly jumped out from there, jumped high, and lightly tapped the ball. The ball immediately changed direction and flew into the goal.

"Coooooooooooal!!! Henrik Larsson, the Swede scored in the net, Barcelona led Liverpool 1-0."

In the 37th minute of the first half, the deadlock on the field was finally broken, but it was Barcelona who broke the deadlock.

"Damn it!" Hyypia couldn't help cursing secretly as he watched the Barcelona players celebrating around the Swede Larsson.Because Hyypia was in charge of guarding Larson, when the ball bounced towards the center of the penalty area, he was very experienced to suddenly accelerate from the small gap between Carragher and Harman, and then forcefully squeezed to grab the ball and head the ball into the goal.

Hyypia, who was following closely behind Larson, was also blocked by Harman and Carragher, and could only watch Larson succeed with a follow-up shot.At this time, Hypia wished he was Michael Owen, because if he was Owen and had Owen's body, he might be able to keep up with Larson in time and prevent Larson from having a chance to make up shots.

It's just that it was too late. Larsson's supplementary shot gave Barcelona the lead away from Liverpool. This is a fact that no one can change.Seeing this situation, Hyypia also somewhat blamed himself. After all, it was very bad news for Liverpool to let Barcelona score an away goal.

"Sami, it's okay. It's just the luck of the Swiss. It's okay. Just don't give him a chance." Looking at Hypia who was a little depressed, Harman patted Hypia's shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I promise to make Switzerland invisible in the next game." Hyypia is worthy of being the captain of the Red Army, and his psychological quality is still very good.After such comfort from Haman, he immediately cheered up.

Hearing Hypia's words, Haman just smiled and said nothing, because Haman knew that Hypia had cheered up, and in the next game, he would not give Larson another chance.

"Hey~" When the ball flew into the goal, Lao Bei on the sidelines helplessly shook his head and sighed.For Barcelona's goal, Lao Bei did not complain about any Liverpool players.After all, there are so many people in the penalty area, and it is still in the melee, no one can guarantee that Liverpool will not miss people.

What's more, this goal, Lao Bei saw it very clearly. Larson saw every detail in the whole process of starting the supplementary shot.Lao Bei also understood that Hypia did his best.

So for Barcelona's goal, Lao Bei can't blame anyone, he can only complain about Liverpool's bad luck.Why is there such a gap between Carragher and Harman, and why Larson saw it and took advantage of it.

Old Bei was depressed. When it comes to defense, although Liverpool dare not say that their defense can be as strong as AC Milan, at least they also have the world's top defense.What makes Lao Bei depressed is why when encountering a strong team, Liverpool will always concede the ball first, and then, like playing a roller coaster, they will start to work hard and try their best to catch up.

If this is not the case, then why are Liverpool often scored by their opponents first, then desperately, and then reversed.Does Liverpool like to be abused? Thinking of this, Old Bei shook his head in disbelief.

For such a conceded goal, Lao Bei didn't have anything to say. He just stood on the sidelines and waved to the players on the field, telling his disciples not to think too much and concentrate on the game.

Although Barcelona's goal made the Anfield Stadium quiet for a few seconds, a few seconds later, there was a more violent roar at the Anfield Stadium. I don't know which fan took the lead, and began to sing the antiphonal song of Liverpool. In the end, tens of thousands of Red Army fans began to sing the antiphonal song.

The Red Army fans are telling the Liverpool players on the field in their own way, even if they are behind, it’s no big deal, everyone, just score him a goal, we are with you.
"I don't like this place, I don't like this stadium, I don't like the fans here." Seeing that Liverpool fell behind, the atmosphere in the stadium became even more heated. Not to mention scoring a goal to suppress Liverpool's morale, it even made Liverpool's morale even higher.Seeing this, the shocked Belletti said to Captain Puyol.

"Hehe~ That's why Anfield is rated as the Devil's home stadium. Of course, I don't like it here either." Hearing Belletti's words, Puyol smiled indifferently and said lightly.You know, in the past two years, Anfield Stadium has been the most veritable devil's home stadium in Europe, and even in the world. Not only because of the hot atmosphere here and the hot fans, but also because of Liverpool's winning percentage at home.

This shows how terrifying Liverpool's home court is. Just from the three-goal bloodbath of Juventus at Liverpool's home court some time ago, we can see the power of the devil referee.The majestic Serie A giants Juventus actually defeated Liverpool by three goals here, and the Devils contributed a lot at home.

But even so, Anfield Stadium will not make Puyol like it, because in Puyol's mind, there is no stadium in the world comparable to a stadium, and that is the holy place in the minds of any Barcelona players and fans-Camp Nou Stadium.

"Guys, do you hear it? Do you hear our fans singing? We must not disappoint the fans at the scene. Come on everyone, kill Barcelona. This is Anfield Stadium, and we Liverpool are the masters here."

Although Barcelona's first goal made George very depressed, George still did his duty as the captain and continued to cheer for his teammates.

Either because they were moved by what the fans did, or because George's cheering was effective, or because Liverpool really used to overtake when they fell behind, and reversed after the game.In short, when the game started again, Liverpool suddenly changed and began to frantically press towards Barcelona's attack.

Kewell broke through Motta's defense and immediately accelerated. When he attracted Edmilson from the penalty area, he immediately passed the ball to George at the top of the penalty area.After receiving Kewell's pass, when George faced Sylvinho, he immediately faked a gap and hit the goal with his right foot.

George's shot is very powerful and fast, but the angle is slightly more positive.Feeling how powerful the flying ball contained, Valdez was not careless, and did not choose to grab the ball, but chose to hit the ball with both fists.

After all, the power of the ball is great, and Owen is still eyeing him, what if he doesn't catch it and let go.

Valdez's choice is undoubtedly correct, the ball has a lot of power, at least when Valdés punched the ball with both hands, he felt that his hands were a bit troublesome.

The ball was punched out by Valdés, fell towards the top of the penalty area, and slowly rolled on the ground towards the direction of Liverpool's half.Seeing this situation, Gerrard, who was the closest to the ball, was naturally not polite. He immediately accelerated to meet the ball, and shot directly. The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, Puyol appeared in time and stretched out his foot to block Gerrard's long shot, but the ball also popped out of the baseline.You must know that Puyol is at least ten meters away from the baseline, and the ball even bounced off the baseline, which shows how powerful Gerrard's shot is.

"What are you doing, cheer me up, the first half is coming to an end, be on guard." Feeling the pain coming from his right foot, Puyol secretly scolded Gerrard for being abnormal, while encouraging his teammates pretending to be okay.

Indeed, at this time the game has progressed to the 41st minute of the first half, and it has reached the end of the first half.

Liverpool got a corner kick. Seeing this situation, Hyypia rushed up from the backcourt. Hamann and Gerrard also got into the penalty area. George and Kewell wandered at the top of the penalty area, waiting for the opportunity.

Seeing Liverpool's heavy pressure, Barcelona's defense line also began to tense up, constantly marking people, and guarding every person in charge of guarding.

Valdez looked at the tall Liverpool players in the penalty area, and then at his own players. There really were not many people as strong and tall as the Liverpool players in the penalty area.Seeing this, Balderston had a very ominous premonition.

Valdez's ominous premonition is not unreasonable, look at the players on both sides competing for positions in the penalty area at this time.Although Edmilson is 186cm tall, he is in charge of guarding the 189cm Harman, who is at a disadvantage in terms of height and body.

As for Motta, Mota, who is only 185cm tall at this time, is guarding Hyypia, a peak of 192cm. The situation is clear at a glance, and naturally it is not easy to defend.

Neither Sylvinho nor Belletti is taller than 1.8 meters, and Liverpool has a 186cm Gerrard, eyeing him.It can be seen that Barcelona has no advantage in playing high-altitude balls against Liverpool.

But the facts proved that, Riise directly took a corner kick and passed the ball high to the center of the penalty area. Hyypia did not give Motta any chance, directly pressured Motta, and smashed the ball hard to the lower left corner of the goal.

To say that there is still a big gap between Motta and Hypia at this time, no matter in terms of height, body, or experience, Mota has no opponent of Hypia, so when it comes to fighting for the top, naturally there is no way for Hypia.

Although Valdes reacted quickly and made a save, but because the distance was too close, Valdes could not change the fate of the ball going into the net in the end.
