Chapter 173 Lone Wolf
Gently flick the ball to the outside with the left foot, without the slightest sloppy!

With a bow and an arrow, a powerful shot rushed towards the gate guarded by Courtois, and rushed away.

Coutinho's strength is very full, and the speed of the ball flying in the air is also very fast.

But after all, it was a long battle, and Coutinho couldn't grasp the height even with his best cloud piercing arrow.

hiss--

call!
Amid the exclamations of the Meilingers, the ball flew over the crossbar and flew directly to the stands behind the goal.

"Brother, it might be better if you pass the ball to me!"

Coutinho, who fired the anti-aircraft gun, did not have the slightest expression on his face.

Looking at his teammate who played unreasonably, Aguero complained lightly no matter how Buddhist he was.

In the face of his active communication, Coutinho did not give a verbal response.

After raising his right hand a little, there was no more words.

This also made Aguero, who was already a little depressed, feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten * *!

In the 45 minutes of the first half, according to Ancelotti's arrangement, the defensive midfielder Casemiro deliberately strengthened the defense against Real Madrid's right side.

On the one hand, it is worried about problems with the young Camavinga, and on the other hand, it is also to restrain Barcelona's strong attack from the left.

Under Real Madrid's deliberate defensive strength, Alba and Qin Ming's side did not get any obvious good opportunities.

In addition, Alba's mentality is also somewhat conservative.

Faced with such a situation, he will always pass the ball back habitually.

So after the entire first half of the game, when it was Barcelona's turn to attack, the ball was always handed over to Coutinho's side.

Such a shift in the center of attack is not a big problem in itself.

However, the Brazilian's performance today is obviously a little abnormal!

Go it alone, lone wolf!
Coutinho's lack of awareness of playing football makes him seem out of place in Barcelona's tactical system.

At the same time, his behavior also makes a lot of double forwards who run without the ball feel very uncomfortable.

Desperately expending physical strength, but getting no return at all!

Under this very loose offensive rhythm, Barcelona's offensive end did not bring much pressure to Real Madrid's defense.

As for Real Madrid, it may be to help Camavinga adapt to the rhythm of the game. The three midfielders seem to be relatively conservative in their offensive and defensive choices.

Don't dare to rush up when defending, and don't want to be too involved when attacking.

Such a conservative choice makes it difficult for Real Madrid to create an opportunity for an instant counterattack.

At the same time, when attacking in position, it is difficult for Real Madrid's striker to get the support of the midfielder.

Therefore, Real Madrid's offense in the first half of the game also looked weak.

What a wilting word!
Faced with such a steady pace of the game, the audience who bought tickets and were full of expectations could only be extremely disappointed.

But no matter how much they complain, they can only accept this extremely dull 45 minutes.

I hope the second half of the game can be improved!
"How's it going, Jamie?"

"Did Coutinho behave badly? I was right!"

As soon as the camera returned to the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Neville's high-spirited voice appeared in the audio stream.

"Isn't it just past halftime?"

"Besides, your pre-match statements are only half true!"

Facing Neville's slightly provocative questioning, Carragher was obviously a little unconvinced.

"If I remember correctly, you also said before that Camavinga's ability to fight is not strong!"

"But in the first half of the match, he had the upper hand several times in the physical confrontation with Qin!"

Carragher's doubts are not groundless.

In the first half of the game, Alba chose to pass back frequently, which also allowed Real Madrid's striker to invisibly strengthen the pressure on Lenglet and Pique.

When the double central defenders were in a hurry, they also passed the ball back to goalkeeper Ter Stegen many times.

As Barcelona's last shot, Ter Stegen dare not play tricks.

Facing the pressure of Real Madrid's striker, he almost did not hesitate and took several beautiful big feet.

In the high ball scramble in the frontcourt, facing the fierce Kamavenga, Qin Ming also chose to avoid some not-critical high-altitude balls in order to avoid joint injuries.

His intentional avoidance behavior, from the video, can easily make the audience mistakenly believe that Kamawenga's confrontation ability is far stronger than him.

"This"

Neville was also impressed by the scene of Camavinga defeating Qin Ming several times in the high-altitude ball confrontation.

At first he thought it was Camavinga's position selection and good luck, but what he didn't expect was that after several fights, Camavinga actually had the upper hand.

Facing Carragher's doubts, Neville was also a little speechless.

However, he stammered a few sentences, he was quick-witted and quick-witted.

"Qin should have saved his energy, so he didn't use his full strength in the confrontation with Kamavenga!"

"Wait until the second half, he will definitely show Camavinga!"

Neville turned his head and found a reason for Qin Ming abruptly.

But no matter how you listen to this reason, it feels a bit too far-fetched.

"Gary!"

"You are also a head coach who has coached in La Liga anyway. Would you let your players save energy by deliberately losing the confrontation?"

"I'm afraid even you don't believe what you say!"

Carragher also gave a sharp response to Neville's improvised excuses.

But it seemed that he felt that this was not enough. Before Neville could speak, he went on to say:

"But that's right, you only won three games with Valencia!"

"Looking at it this way, it is understandable for you to say such a thing!"

Coupled with the beating expression on his face, the sarcasm in Carragher's words is very obvious!
However, Neville was not easy to refute.

Because everything Carragher said was true, he was directly grasped seven inches.

Knowing that if you continue to entangle on this issue, you must be at a disadvantage.

Neville also pretended not to hear and changed the subject directly.

"Coutinho's performance in the first half was really bad!"

"If I were Rangnick, I would definitely replace him as soon as possible!"

Knowing that his partner was trying to escape, Carragher just snorted softly and didn't choose to continue entanglement.

"Hmph! Just wait to be slapped in the face!"

Although Neville likes to speak hard, in some respects, his judgment is still very accurate.

Before the start of the second half, Rangnick really made a personnel adjustment. He really replaced Coutinho, who was like a lone wolf.

But to everyone's surprise, it was not Pedri who was replaced.

It's the fringe figure in the team, Braithwaite!
