Chapter 321 Someone Will Stand Up!
"damn it!"

Barcelona's home team coach Shili at the Nou Camp Stadium, and the chief assistant coach Ten Carter scratched his head anxiously.

At this moment, he was standing under the roof of the coaching bench with head coach Frank Rijkaard. It was pouring rain outside, and the entire Camp Nou stadium seemed to have turned into a swamp. Through the heavy rain curtain, he couldn't even see the opposite side of the stadium.

This is so fucked up!

"Tonight, it seems that even God is standing opposite us!" Ten Carter said anxiously.

Rijkaard has always been gentle, but at this moment is also full of anxiety, just not as restless as Ten Cate.

Tonight, Barcelona's luck is really bad.

Facing Sevilla at home, they originally had an advantage, but this torrential rain instantly weakened Barcelona's technical and tactical advantages. Not only that, the midfielder Thiago Motta, who performed well in the previous game, was injured in just 2 minutes of the opening.

After Ronaldinho played two games for the national team, he was again absent due to injury, Edmilson and Belletti were also absent, and now even Motta is injured, plus this downpour that does not know when it will stop...

It's really a house leak and it rains all night!

The game has been played for 10 minutes, but it is still difficult to create effective offensive opportunities.

No wonder.

Barcelona is a ball-handling team with many opportunities to get the ball. However, this heavy rain not only made the field very muddy, but also made the ball wet and slippery.

The 22 players on the court were all drenched as if they had just been fished out of the swimming pool.

In this kind of weather, in this kind of venue, it is too unfavorable for Barcelona.

The heavy rain not only hindered the performance of Barcelona players, but also dampened the enthusiasm of the fans.

A small number of fans under the roof were better. Most of the fans were exposed to the torrential rain. Even the voice of cheering and cheering was obviously much quieter. Only the sound of rain could be heard. Where was the frenzied atmosphere of the old home court?

Even, if no one said it, who would have thought that there were more than 6 fans sitting in the stands?

"It won't work like this, it will be even more difficult in the second half!" Ten Carter became more and more impatient.

It's the rainy season in Barcelona now. Look at the weather, it won't be able to stop for a while. If the stalemate with the opponent continues, in the second half, Barcelona's situation will be even more difficult.

Rijkaard raised his head slightly, and saw the rainwater continuously falling from the ceiling of the coaching bench of the home team, forming a line, falling on the grass in front of him, splashing a piece, and wet his leather shoes and trousers.

"Someone will stand up!"

He seems to be speaking of what he firmly believes, but also seems to be praying.

…………

…………

What a goddamn weather!
Su Dong wiped his face vigorously, his hands were covered with water.

Now there is no dry place on his body, especially after falling to the ground a few times, his whole body is dirty and very uncomfortable.

He's not a clean freak, but he's fairly clean.

But now, I can't care about anything.

In tonight's game, Barcelona's biggest enemy is not Sevilla. In fact, they were also affected by the heavy rain, but relatively less, but it can be seen that their best counterattacks have not been played.

Barcelona's biggest enemy is the rain.

"Deco!"

Su Dong saw Deco stop, took off his boots, turned them over, and they were full of water.

"Ma Dan, what kind of garbage drainage system is this?" Deco was also angry.

Su Dong laughed, and patted Deke on the shoulder, "It has nothing to do with the drainage system, the rain is too heavy."

He yelled so loudly that Deco wouldn't have heard him otherwise.

Deco nodded depressedly, why didn't he know?

"Tell Harvey, hold the ball less, pass more long passes, pass as high as possible without touching the ground, try to pass as far behind as possible, let Jiuli and I chase, otherwise this will not work." Su Dong put Deco's shoulders and shouted loudly.

Deco nodded hurriedly, he also realized the problem.

Passing the ground ball is too bad, especially the muddy field, the passing accuracy is completely uncontrollable.

"Come on! I'm going to the front!" Su Dong patted Deke's shoulder heavily, splashing a bunch of water.

……

The game is still stuck in a stalemate.

Not only the coaches and players in the stadium are anxious, but the fans in the stands are also anxious.

They know that the team is in a rather unfavorable situation, but the more so, the more they hope that the team can overcome the predicament.

Time passed by every minute.

There is still no improvement on the scene, and Barcelona still has a lot of passing errors.

Could it be that the first half was really going to end at zero to zero?
Just when this thought came to mind, there was a sudden bang on the court.

After Harvey, wearing the No. [-] jersey, stopped the ball, he sent a long pass.

Almost at the same time, Su Dong, who had his back to the goal, suddenly turned around, threw off the Sevilla defender Ramos beside him, and rushed forward quickly.

Ramos was hot on his heels, but Sudong was faster.

Goalkeeper Esteban decisively abandoned the goal, and all three of them chased Harvey's pass at the same time.

Harvey's pass was actually not good. Perhaps it was affected by the field and the heavy rain. The pass was a bit too big, too close to the goal, which was very unfavorable for Su Dong.

But Su Dong still chased after him at a very fast speed, and before the Sevilla goalkeeper Esteban, he kicked the ball to his left, allowing Esteban to miss it.

But this time, Ramos caught up.

This tough kid blocked Su Dong firmly. He is not tall, but he is very flexible, and his physical strength is not bad in confrontation. However, Su Dong is tall and has long legs, so he took the first step to protect the ball with his left foot.

Esteban also reacted to the entanglement with Ramos.

After Su Dong leaned on Ramos with his body, he saw Esteban rushed over again and blocked his right foot.

The goal was right in front of him, and there was no one defending it, but Su Dong knew very well that if he forced his kick, the ball would be saved by Esteban in all likelihood.

So, in a hurry, he stopped the ball with his right foot, turned around, turned his back to the attacking direction, blocked Ramos and Esteban, missed the opportunity to face the goal directly, but also protected the ball.

Subsequently, Su Dong crossed the ball to the right of the penalty spot.

Out of the corner of his eye, he told him that Jiuli was also coming up.

Sure enough, the French winger quickly followed Su Dong in. At this time, the second wave of offensive echelon was formed. Facing Su Dong's cross pass, he stopped and hit directly!

Facing the empty goal, Jiuli's shot has no suspense!
"The ball went in!!!"

"Giuly scored the first goal for Barcelona in No.401 minutes!"

"As the team's number one center forward, Su Dong's tactical role is in full play at this moment."

"It can be said that Jiuli should thank Su Dong. It was Su Dong who grabbed the ball for him and also created this wonderful scoring opportunity for him. He almost faced an empty goal."

"One to zero!"

……

Su Dong assisted Giuly's goal, which greatly relieved the pressure on Barcelona.

The fans in the stands rekindled their enthusiasm, and the head coach Rijkaard on the sidelines was also relieved.

During the intermission, Rijkaard praised Su Dong's role in this goal by name, and at the same time reminded his players to pay more attention to giving full play to Su Dong's advantages when passing the ball and organizing offense.

This also made everyone vaguely aware of something strange.

Ronaldinho is not here, Rijkaard is trying to shape Su Dong as the core of the offense.

But the enemy is now, especially the goal that Su Dong grabbed in the first half, who can say no to it?
After the change of sides in the second half, the heavy rain still showed no signs of abating, and the conditions of the venue became even worse.

They just changed their clothes and washed their bodies, but when the players came out, they became drowned again.

Both sides worked hard to create chances.

Sevilla's strength is not as good as Barcelona's, basically failing to form an effective attack and counterattack, and Barcelona's passing and receiving are also greatly limited, and they are forced to frequently use long passes and high balls to create opportunities.

But under the downpour, the success rate is really not high.

Su Dong got a chance to hit the goal with a header at the beginning of the game, but the ball slipped directly.

Iniesta also sent him a direct pass, but after Su Dong quickly inserted into the penalty area, he kicked the goal and missed it directly. He directly drew the ball on the side net and missed the opportunity.

But the continuous attack finally ushered in the harvest season.

No. 701 minutes, the Barcelona midfielder created another chance. Decola went to the right. After receiving the ball from Harvey, he glanced ahead and sent a long oblique pass from the right, directly sending the ball to the front of the small penalty area.

Su Dong sprinted quickly, and the two central defenders, Ramos and Navarro, also chased after him.

But Su Dong was one step faster than them, and judged the landing point before them, and shot first.

Deco's pass was turned in one direction by the pad in front of Su Dong's goal, and once again got into Sevilla's goal.

Su Dong lost his balance and fell heavily into the swamp, splashing a burst of water.

The crisp whistle of the referee was exceptionally clear and pleasant in the pouring rain.

Su Dong slapped the grass hard with both hands, and jumped up from the ground, shouting excitedly to celebrate the goal.

At this moment, he was covered in rainwater, his hair and face were covered with grass clippings, but he looked extremely heroic!
……

The head coach Rijkaard on the sidelines watched Su Dong in the field celebrating from a distance, and watched the Barcelona players rushing over one by one. When celebrating his goal, he couldn't help but also laughed.

Two to zero, he has been hanging on for more than an hour, and finally he can let go!
"I just said, someone will stand up!" Rijkaard smiled lightly, as if he had expected it.

Ten Kat glanced at him unconvinced, secretly amused.

Others don't know, as an assistant, how could he not know how nervous and worried Rijkaard was just now?

Is it time to act wise?

"This kid is not simple. He is reliable at critical moments and will not lose the chain."

After hearing this, Rijkaard looked at his assistant in surprise.

Ten Carter has always been strict, and even Ronaldinho, the team's top star, is a little scared of him. When did he see him boasting so much?
"You don't tell me, I know." Rijkaard laughed.
