Green Dragon

Chapter 183

"I remember a Portuguese coach named Jose once said that he could conquer the world with defensive counterattacks. Later, this coach was beaten 5-0 by Barcelona, ​​hahaha."

The Catalan narrator smiled happily.

Although Barcelona's opponent is Ajax, this does not affect his blatant satire of their sworn enemy here.

"Van Basten is using vivid facts to prove to Mourinho that even if you really put a bus in front of the penalty area, there is no way to stop Barcelona's goal!"

"By the way, we have to thank the Dutch, they let us appreciate once again how invincible Barcelona is!"
-
"Let's get back on the pitch, the second half is about to start..."

When the commercial ended, Duan Yixuan's voice sounded again, but it sounded a little listless:
"I hope Van Basten can make some adjustments during the halftime break, otherwise this is likely to be a disastrous defeat!"

Duan Yixuan was soon disappointed, because from the perspective of the lineup, Van Basten did not seem to have any changes.

Ajax's midfield is still the same as before: Longshut, Enno, De Jong, Dezeu, Anita...

Even Suarez, who was standing on the center line, put his hands on his hips and bowed his head, as if he had lost all fighting spirit.

The white away jerseys on them looked like they were dressed in filial piety, without any temperament at all! -
"drop!"

The referee whistled and Suarez pushed the football to De Jong, who passed it back to Enno ten meters away.

The Barcelona team slowly pressed forward.

Some fans will misunderstand Barcelona's tikitaka, thinking that they play artistic football and don't pay attention to defense. How can artists do such dirty work?
In Guardiola's football philosophy, the reason why his team can maintain a dominant ball possession rate is definitely closely related to the team's overall strong pressing ability, in addition to the superb personal abilities of the players.

Even for ball-handling masters like Messi and Harvey, it is impossible for every pass and dribble to be free of mistakes. When they make mistakes, the whole team enters the mode of pressing and counter-attacking. Guardiola Every player is required to assume corresponding defensive responsibilities, even forwards must participate.

The tactical style of play advocated by Barcelona keeps their lines very close. Whether in offense or defense, the team as a whole is relatively high. Not to mention Alves, who likes to attack forward, Even central defenders like Puyol and Pique often appear in the opponent's penalty area.

Compared with Mourinho's passive defense of increasing the number of defenders in the backcourt, Guardiola is more inclined to carry out active defense in the frontcourt, but the two people's emphasis on defense is not much different.

It's just that players are human, and when the game just starts, it will always take a few seconds to concentrate.

Especially in the case of a three-goal lead, the mood of the Barcelona players is extremely relaxed and happy. Some people are even thinking about how to regain their Champions League trophy...

There are many people who relax, but Messi is not included.

Messi rushed out after the whistle sounded and rushed towards Enno.

Enno quickly transferred to Van der Veer, who was diagonally behind, but Iniesta rushed over.

Van der Wiel wanted to cross the middle, but saw Messi appearing non-stop beside Vertonghen. He lost the passing space and he could only simply pass back to goalkeeper Vermeer.

Vermeer was not in the mood to show off his footwork, nor did he have the time, because Villa had already rushed into the penalty area aggressively. Before he had time to think about it, he pushed the arch of his foot and sent the hot football to the left Guard Blind.

Blind didn't have too much pressure on his side, so he could take two steps forward a little bit, and then waited for Keita to get close before moving the ball forward.

De Jong, who was supposed to be standing on the left, was still at the kick-off point in the middle circle. At this moment, it was Long Shute who gave up freezing Messi and appeared on the left instead of him.

Blind's passing skills are pretty good. Long Shute only needs to stretch his foot lightly, and he even dribbles the ball diagonally towards the middle.

As soon as he started, Barcelona's iron gate on the right, Alves, forced him over.

Brazilian defenders have always had a tradition of going forward, not to mention Guardiola's tactical philosophy has always encouraged him to use offense instead of defense.

Even if there is no way to steal the ball in the first confrontation, at least you can buy time for your teammates!
Just as he was thinking this, the white figure in front of him suddenly disappeared!
Disappeared? !
-
"Long Shute suddenly increased his speed, he passed Alves..."

Duan Yixuan's voice was still weak, because even if Alves was passed, Long Shute would have to face Barcelona's entire defense line next time. What's the use of such a superiority?
But Zhang Lu beside him suddenly became excited:
"Long Shute's speed has increased!"
-
Gerard Pique was the second Barcelona defender to save.

In the original central defender partner with Puyol, he was responsible for the frontal interception, while the old captain made up for himself behind him.

So when he saw Long Shute breaking through Alves who was too far ahead, he rushed out without thinking.

Pique, who is 1.9 meters tall, is not slow in frontal sprints. After all, his two long legs are really frightening.

But before he had time to block Long Shute's advancing route, he saw the white figure on the opposite side kick the ball forward forcefully!
"Ah... oh!"

Duan Yixuan suddenly let out an extremely excited roar, and then he couldn't close his mouth anymore:

"It's over! It's over! Long Shute broke through two Barcelona players in one breath! His speed is too fast! Pique, who is tall and big, can't catch up with him! Ah! Be careful! Pique shoveled Ah! He missed it!"
-
Pique is still gliding on the turf near the center line. He has stretched his long legs to the limit, but he still hasn't kicked anything.

Pique, who sat up from the turf, even had an illusion when he stopped skating.

That white figure... was already more than ten meters away from him!

Ten meters? !
This number 8... is really fucking fast!
Chasing speed has never been my strong point!
-
Looking at the empty back, Pique suddenly remembered.

His best partner, big brother for club and country, the blond curly-haired Puyol was absent today.

No one wipes their own ass!
The one who temporarily formed a partner with me... is Busquets, who is 1.8 meters tall!

Expect him to catch up with the white lightning that ran over ten meters in one second?
It's better to expect the goalkeeper to perform supernaturally!
-
In the eyes of the Catalan commentator, Long Shute's breakthrough has almost no technical content at all.

The white No. 8 player just kicked the football 30 meters away, then spread his legs, run, run, run!

Can this fucking be called a breakthrough? !
Can this TMD be called extraordinary? !
If it weren't for our Barcelona pressing too high, how could you have such a big space to run? !

Running against two centre-backs who are 20cm taller than you...do you have any work ethic? !

Haven't you heard of it?

UEFA stipulates that any team that takes advantage of Barcelona's aggressive pressure but shamelessly fights back is the enemy of artistic football!

You are killing art!
-
Long Shute didn't hear the commentator's complaints. He moved his legs and chased after the football.

That's right, his extraordinary way can't be called a breakthrough with the ball.

He just kicked the ball 30 meters and...

Run, run, run!

Pass the ball to yourself three seconds later!

Whether it is Pique, Mascherano, or Busquets, they can only catch up behind their own buttocks in vain!

They can't even eat Long Ritian's fart! -
"Single sword! Single sword!"

Duan Yixuan was going crazy, he chanted this word frantically, as if there was nothing else in his mind.

It's no wonder he was so excited. In just three or four seconds, Long Shute went from the middle circle to the front of Barcelona's big penalty area!
Barcelona's top players in the world can only be the background board behind him!
Ah, no!

If you don't use the panoramic lens, the audience can't even see these top players!

At this moment, Long Shute was the only one on the TV screen!
-
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdez is now extremely regretful.

When Long Shute kicked the ball vigorously from near the center line, he once thought it was Ajax's vice-captain who made a mistake in grasping the strength when waving the ball, and actively ran out of the penalty area, preparing to attack and make a clearance...

Then when he ran out of the penalty area in three seconds, he found that the white lightning had broken through all the defense lines and caught up with the football that was five or six meters away from the edge of the penalty area...

Valdés is a goalkeeper who is very good at dealing with one-handed balls, but here refers to... in the penalty area, in front of the goal line.

When a goalkeeper comes out of the box, he may not even be as good in defense as a striker.

He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hands and throw down the speeding opponent with the ball!
But he didn't catch anything!
Long Shute, who had caught up with the football, stopped suddenly in front of Valdes, and the Barcelona goalkeeper who had already swooped fell directly on the turf!
He could only watch helplessly as the white lightning restarted, easily bypassed him with the black and white football, and flew towards the empty penalty area together.

"Empty door!"

Van Basten stood up early.

Even Bergkamp, ​​who has always been calm, couldn't help feeling anxious.

They were all a little worried, afraid that their disciple would be too excited, and then kick a powerful anti-aircraft gun outside the restricted area, making all the previous wonderful performances come to naught...

Fortunately, Long Shute didn't do that.

He believes in his speed more than his long-range shooting ability.

Even though he had just slammed on the brakes, he was not worried that Busquets would catch up.

Because the speed of this Spanish player... is really not fast at all!

He took the ball into the big box and then into the small box.

Then he pushed the arch of his foot lightly, and the black and white football crossed the white goal line without hindrance and rolled into the white net.

The Camp Nou stadium filled with nearly [-] spectators suddenly fell silent.

Some of the red and blue fans heard the broadcast in the stadium announcing the arrival of the goal before returning to their seats from the toilet or snack bar.

Some people even thought that their team had scored the fourth goal, and walked excitedly through the crowd with a beer in one hand and popcorn in the other.

But they were slightly taken aback when the broadcaster read the name of the scorer.

Ajax scored?
What did they... do during those 11 seconds?
