Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 336 Ice and Fire

When the game progressed to No. 305 minutes, Thiago Silva broke Eto'o's breakthrough with the ball with a big foot in the penalty area.

Kaka quickly judged where the ball fell and intercepted it before Deco.

Deco tugged and tugged in desperation, but was still left behind by Kaka.

Once Kaka is allowed to rush up, no one can stop him except fouls.

First, Marcos, another midfielder from Barcelona, ​​rushed over to intercept Kaka, but before Marcos had time to make a move, Kaka rushed over like a bolt of lightning.

At the same moment, Ronaldo on the left and Messi on the right also accelerated forward together.

In this way, Barcelona's two full-backs Thuram and Zambrotta had to focus on Ronaldo and Messi, and there was no way to retract in time to protect the middle.

In Barcelona's restricted area, Edmilson was in charge of man-marking Tony and couldn't leave easily, so Puyol had to rush out to intercept Kaka.

Seeing Puyol approaching, Kaka didn't even slow down.He just flicked the ball to the front right and rushed directly to where Tony and Edmilson were.

This time, if Puyol wants to intercept, he must bypass Tony and Edmilson.

And Edmilson saw Kaka running towards his position, and hurried forward to intercept him.

But Tony made a very smart step at this time, immediately blocked Edmilson behind him, played a pick-and-roll tactic in basketball, and left Kaka with a channel to advance.

Kaka was also polite, and rushed past Tony and Edmilson with the ball.

At this point, only Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes and the goal were left in front of him.Kaka kicked the door without any hesitation.

At this time, Puyol managed to come around from the other side of Tony and Edmilson, saw that Kaka had already made a shooting action, and hurriedly shoveled to block the hole of the gun.

Puyol did not shovel fortunately, his shovel, although hit the ball shot by Kaka, but the ball still flew to Barcelona's goal after changing direction.

Moreover, Valdez, who reacted very quickly, had already made a save in advance.As soon as the ball changed direction, it was too late for Valdes to change the direction of his save. He could only watch the ball bounce from his side into the net.

"GOAL!"

With Kaka's wonderful one-stop performance, Crystal Palace overtook Barcelona 2:1.

"Oh!"

In the Luzhniki Stadium, the cheers of the Crystal Palace fans sounded again, but the boos of the Barcelona fans were already a bit lacking in confidence.

On the sidelines, Rijkaard, who saw Crystal Palace lead the score, couldn't sit still.

If you can't lead Crystal Palace in the first half when your physical fitness is still relatively abundant, how can you play in the second half of the game?
Glancing up at the game time on the big screen, I looked back at the Barcelona bench.

Rijkaard went back and forth a few times, but finally resisted playing all the cards in his hand in the first half of the game.

Fortunately, Barcelona's players did not disappoint Rijkaard. Just at the end of the first half, Ronaldinho first played a bull's tail and passed Yaya Toure who was marking him. .

Then a through pass penetrated the defense of Crystal Palace. Eto'o, who slanted into the penalty area from the right, received the ball without any pause, and volleyed the ball.

The ball stuck to the turf and went straight to the lower right corner of the Crystal Palace goal. Cech, who was tall and tall, couldn't make a save. When he made a move, the ball had already flown from his hand into the net.

With Eto'o's goal, Barcelona tied the score at 2:2.

As soon as the goal was scored, the Barcelona fans who were a little bit listless just now cheered up again.

Correspondingly, the fans of Crystal Palace immediately sent overwhelming boos.

The Luzhniki Stadium once again turned into a vegetable market, and fans from both sides gave each other "cordial and warm" greetings.

In such a noisy atmosphere, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

The wonderful 45-minute game not only made the fans enjoy watching, but even the commentators of the major TV stations were also excited.

After all, in this increasingly utilitarian era, it has almost become a consensus that finals = ugly.

"In the first half, the two teams scored four goals. Is this the Champions League final we know?"

"In the Champions League final, it is extremely rare that there was a big opening and closing battle. Today's Champions League final will surely become an unforgettable classic game that will be recorded in history."

"I have a hunch that the four goals in the first half of the game will definitely not be the final result. Today's Champions League final is likely to become the Champions League final with the most goals in history."

"The head coaches of the two teams, Chen Ran and Rijkaard, adopted offensive tactics at the same time. No matter who wins the final championship trophy, tonight, I would like to thank them for joining hands to present a football feast to the fans. "

But in China, thousands of miles away, in the wee hours of the morning, the popularity of Crystal Palace's post bar once again hit a new high.

Taking advantage of the intermission, many domestic fans who bought tickets and went to watch the game on the spot uploaded the photos and videos they took to the post bar.

"Good guy, there are so many Crystal Palace fans at the scene."

"Yes, this Luzhniki Stadium is the largest stadium in Maozi. It can accommodate more than 8 people. There are tens of thousands of fans from both sides of the Crystal Palace and Barcelona."

"I'll go, this video of the goal was shot, it made me dizzy, but the atmosphere of the scene is really great."

"That's right, Tete Meow is very emotional. For the first time, I personally experienced what it feels like to be booed by tens of thousands of people together."

"It's a pity. I originally thought that Ibrahimovic would be able to return to Crystal Palace one day. What he did today completely blocked this road."

"Forget it, let's go. Anyway, Messi in exchange for him performed very well, at least not losing money. If Fabregas is added, it can be said to be profitable."

"Haha, since when did Chicken Thief run a loss-making business?"

"That's right, don't ever doubt the chicken thief's vision for picking players."

"I said, are you upstairs in a crooked manner? After talking for a long time, there is nothing about the competition."

"Isn't crooked building still called irrigation?"

"Haha, what the upstairs said makes sense. Besides, it's such a wonderful game, just watch it. Discussing the game is something after Crystal Palace wins the championship trophy."

"I'll go, upstairs you have more confidence in the Crystal Palace than Chicken Zeran."

"Of course, in the past few seasons, in all the finals in which Crystal Palace participated, has Crystal Palace ever lost?"

"Huh? Hearing what you said, it seems to be true."

"So, just relax and enjoy the game, and leave the rest to the chicken thief."

During the intermission, in the locker room of the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran looked at the sweaty players in front of him, clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he walked in front of the players.

"Everyone performed well in the first half, and we will continue to play like this in the second half."

"Barcelona just finished playing La Liga three days ago, they are not as fit as us. As the game goes on, this will be more obvious."

"So, no matter what happens after the second half starts, you guys have to hold your breath. Just remember that time is on our side. Got it?"

"understand!"

"Boss, don't worry!"

"That's right, it's not the first time we've played against Barcelona in the Champions League final. Last time we were able to kill them, this time it's the same."

Seeing that the team members were full of energy and fighting spirit, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction.These players have won so many championship trophies with him, and they are no longer rookies.He is still very confident in dealing with the current situation.

And in the Barcelona dressing room, Rijkaard was busy cheering on his players.

Although it did not reach the pre-match start, the plan to establish a leading advantage early.

But the players were able to equalize the score before the end of the first half and bring the two teams back to the same starting line. Rijkaard was very pleased.

He knows that the players have tried their best.At least, the initiative to compete for the Champions League title has not yet fallen into the hands of Crystal Palace.

However, looking at the drenched and panting team members in front of him, Rijkaard couldn't help but think of the sword that had been hanging over his head.

Can physical fitness, especially the physical fitness of the core players, last until the end of the game?

What if there is a tie in 10 minutes and overtime will be played?
Thinking of this, Rijkaard first turned his attention to Ronaldinho.

As the absolute core of Barcelona, ​​Ronaldinho, who has achieved fame in recent years, has completely let himself go and indulged in the major nightclubs in Barcelona.

Although the technical awareness is still there, the physical function has declined significantly.

If Rijkaard is most worried about which player will not be able to hold on, it must be Ronaldinho.

"Ronaldo, how are you doing now? Can you continue?"

Rijkaard is not the kind of iron-fisted coach with a strong style, and he has a good relationship with the players, so he directly asked about Ronaldinho's status.

"Boss, I'm fine, don't worry."

Picking up a towel to wipe the sweat off his brow, Ronaldinho grinned at Rijkaard with a wide grin.

"Well, let me know if you feel tired and I'll take you off to rest."

"OK!"

Although still not at ease, Ronaldinho's face still needs to be taken care of, and Rijkaard decided to take another look.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, everyone found that the two teams did not make substitutions, and even the tactics did not change in any way, and it was still a fierce confrontation.

Ronaldinho lived up to Rijkaard's trust, this time he dribbled past Mascherano and then sent the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a flick.

In the penalty area, Zlatan Ibrahimovic turned his back to the goal of Crystal Palace, and used his strong body to block Pepe, who was in charge of marking him, behind him.

First, he bounced the ball with his chest, and then Ibrahimovic immediately played an upside-down golden hook.

With a sound of "Bang!", the ball immediately flew to the upper right corner of the Crystal Palace goal.

Cech moved quickly, jumped to the right and rushed over.

It's a pity that Ibrahimovic's barb shot was too angled. Cech tried his best but failed to touch the ball. In the end, he could only helplessly watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic's brace, Barcelona once again lead Crystal Palace 3:2.

This time, Ibrahimovic did not make any violent celebrations.

But the Crystal Palace fans in the Luzhniki Stadium would not let him go. The deafening boos and the cheers of the Barcelona fans resounded in the sky, once again collided fiercely in the stadium.

On the sidelines, Rijkaard was even more excited than Zlatan Ibrahimovic who scored.After raising their arms and cheering, the assistants around them hugged each other tightly.

On the Crystal Palace side, whether it was the three assistants of Guardiola, Southgate and Simeone or the substitute players, they couldn't help sneaking a sneak peek at Chen Ran.

Seeing that Chen Ran was still sitting calmly on his seat, these guys were all relieved, and the old gods were on the ground and began to discuss the goal that Ibrahimovic scored just now.

Ibrahimovic scored again, and Crystal Palace fell behind again. Of course, Chen Ran was very upset.

But he knew very well that as the head coach, he must not be messed up.

After the guys beside him turned their eyes away, Chen Ran glanced at the time without moving.

The game lasted for more than 50 minutes, and there was still plenty of time.

Therefore, Chen Ran continued to sit calmly on the bench, he believed that the players on the field would not make him wait too long.

The Crystal Palace players did not disappoint Chen Ran. Less than 5 minutes after Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the second goal, Crystal Palace launched a new round of offensive from the right.

Messi dribbled the ball along the right line and broke through. Seeing Deco rushing to intercept him, he immediately passed the ball to Kaka in the middle, but he bypassed Deco and continued to advance at high speed.

Kaka, who received a pass from Messi, pulled and dunked, and after swaying over Marcos who was coming up to press, he passed the ball back to Messi who was advancing at high speed with a through ball.

After discovering Kaka's intention to pass the ball, Barcelona's left-back Zambrotta immediately rushed forward and wanted to take the first step to break Kaka's pass.

As a result, Messi's movement frequency was too fast. Before Zambrotta's foot stretched over, he poked the ball lightly, then flashed past Zambrotta, and played a one-man ball.

This time, Barcelona's left defense immediately had a huge gap.

Messi, who caught up with the ball in two steps, made a change to cut in, and rushed directly to Barcelona's penalty area.
