I Want to Be the King of Football

When Sudong heard Benitez say, If we only lose one goal at Camp Nou tomorrow night and go back to home, we will have a very good chance of qualifying, his first reaction was, it's bad !

Benitez has never been an articulate person, but because of that, he generally doesn't talk nonsense.

A person who is arrogant and never talks nonsense, suddenly conceded defeat and said that he only lost one goal, and he will definitely make a comeback when he returns to the home court.

why is that?

Psychological warfare!

Because Barcelona has conceded more than three goals in two consecutive away games after entering the Champions League knockout stage.

No one can say with certainty that Anfield's away performances against Bayern Munich and Chelsea will be the same.

Benitez just wanted to instill a mentality in the Barcelona players before the game, that it is not safe to win a ball.

How to insure it?

Of course more goals!

When players put this mentality into the game, what will they do when they find that they are closely guarded by the opponent in the game and can't find a good opportunity to score?

The answer is simple, hurry up!

The most obvious evidence was an attack that took place in the thirteenth minute.

After Belletti and Iniesta cooperated on the right, the ball was passed to the middle of the penalty area. Su Dong pressed Carragher, headed the ball down, and quickly passed it to Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian superstar shoveled a shot from five meters in front of the goal, but he didn't touch the ball and watched the ball slide out.

In desperation, he misjudged!

Just eight minutes later, Ronaldinho passed the ball from the top of the penalty area and hit Xavi Alonso. After Su Dong grabbed the ball at the front of the penalty area, he was closely guarded by the opponent and failed to turn around. But the ball was firmly guarded, and after deceiving Hypia, the ball was passed to Iniesta, who crossed to Deco.

Deco volleyed a shot from five meters in front of the goal, knocking the close shot away!

With two missed opportunities in a row, Barcelona's mood is getting more and more impatient.

...

Throughout the game, Barcelona firmly occupied the ball and the upper hand, grasping the rhythm of the game.

The ball possession rate is also as high as 65%, almost pressing Liverpool to play.

What is surprising is that Barcelona, ​​which has the highest attacking firepower in European football, failed to score at home this time.

And the defense, which everyone was afraid of, did not concede the ball this time!

Liverpool's Czech striker Baros, who had four stitches in his knee, also performed poorly in this game.

The best player of the game was Hypia with nine points.

In second place was Carragher with eight points.

Barcelona's back line performance tonight was also stable, and there were no obvious mistakes, but after the defense was well done, the offense didn't kick out, which has to be said to be a very surprising thing.

Zero to zero, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

…………

…………

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Camp Nou stadium still burst into warm applause.

A zero-to-zero score is indeed a pity, even if a goal is scored.

In this game, Barcelona missed at least three great opportunities, two of which were created by Su Dong for the team, but none of his teammates seized the opportunity, so Su Dong also scored the highest eight points in the Barcelona team, and he was with Pudong. Joel tied for first place in the team.

However, Ronaldinho and Deco, who missed the perfect opportunity, were very sluggish. This is also related to Liverpool's targeted defense against them. Benitez obviously does not intend to let them release their offensive talents to the fullest. .

After Su Dong heard the whistle, he exhaled heavily.

He knew that what Benitez said before the game would definitely have an impact on Barcelona.

Losing three goals in a row away from home this season has almost cast a shadow over Barcelona and has a phobia.

It doesn't matter, zero-to-zero is also a good result.

Su Dong walked towards Iniesta and other teammates and shouted loudly.

From the point of view of the two rounds, zero to zero is indeed not bad,

Compared to one-to-one or two-to-two, zero-to-zero is far more favorable, at least not for away goals.

Of course, this is in terms of a draw, and it would be better if Barcelona could win.

Su is right, this result is good, we should have confidence and try to make a wave away from home! Puyol also shouted hard, inspiring the team's morale.

Liverpool did perform quite powerfully at Camp Nou tonight, and the defense was tight. This is largely related to Benitez's formation. He even put on three defensive midfielders to guard against this. In the square half, the two fullbacks Finnan and Traore were killed without taking a half step forward.

Just look at their poor possession and you can see how embarrassed they were at Camp Nou.

Rijkaard also greeted the players, and he showed his attitude with applause.

Good job guys, we didn't concede a goal tonight, great job!

Rijkaard's remarks somewhat improved the players' mood. Coupled with the support of the Camp Nou fans, the team was relieved and everyone was relieved.

Tonight's game is not without good news. They will lose Xavi Alonso in the second round. When he said this, Rijkaard smiled and nodded to Su Dong, which was Su Dong's credit.

At that time, Xavi Alonso took a tactical foul on Sudong, delayed Barcelona's counterattack, and received a yellow card, which made him accumulate yellow cards and be suspended for the next leg.

In fact, the defensive pressure that Su Dong faced tonight was the biggest in the team.

Both Hypia and Carragher are the best players in the Liverpool team, and their outstanding performance is precisely based on the defense of Su Dong. The two are almost inseparable to entangle Su Dong, making it difficult for him to have opportunity to create a threat.

Ronnie said that Liverpool's weakness is the central defender, but in fact, Liverpool's two central defenders were in full swing tonight.

Who can tell?

The most threatening attack created by Su Dong was two good scoring opportunities in the first half, but Ronaldinho and Deco both missed it. On the contrary, Su Dong himself did not get a decent shot at all. It can be seen that Liverpool How tight is his defense.

It can be said that Su Dong has done his best!

Under the circumstance that he was so closely guarded, he still created two goals for the team, who could blame him more?

The only regret is that the team did not grasp it.

The key is attitude.

Don't worry, a zero-to-zero score at home is more favorable to us. When we go to Anfield, we will try to attack from the beginning and try to score a goal from him, then they will not be able to defend! Jaccard encouraged.

Sometimes this kind of mentality is really mysterious, and even determines the outcome of the game.

It's like tonight, Barcelona is obviously anxious, but Liverpool is very stable.

It can even be said that Benitez came here tonight with the mentality of not scoring and conceding, and he also achieved his strategic purpose and retreated from zero to zero.

Su Dong listened to Rijkaard's words silently, and knew in his heart that what the black swan said really made sense.

But he knows Benitez.

This guy is so terrifying, it can almost be said that he is predictable and has no plans.

Let me ask, there is nothing unusual about Rijkaard's mind, Benitez will not think of it?

Or, will he have no countermeasures?

In the case of zero-to-zero at home, what kind of choice will Barcelona make? Benitez is afraid that he has already calculated many different plans and possibilities?

But these words, Su Dong really can't say.

What Barcelona needs now is to regroup, and it doesn't help at all.

Because he doesn't know what Benitez will do, he can't influence the decision-making of Rijkaard and other coaching staff because of this possibility, and Rijkaard and others will not listen to him.

So, he decided to privately find an opportunity to remind Rijkaard.

This guy Benitez is estimated to have been preparing for the second leg from the psychological warfare before the first leg. He will let Barcelona score at Anfield?

…………

…………

Liverpool drew 0-0 at home. Barcelona did not receive too much criticism after the game. After all, this was not a bad home result.

But there are still many media who are pessimistic about Barcelona's prospects of qualifying. After all, Barcelona's away record in the Champions League this season is really bad, especially after entering the knockout stage, they conceded three goals in both away games. How can people believe this?

At the weekend, the thirty-fourth round of the La Liga was ushered in.

The main players such as Su Dong and Ronaldinho came on the bench again.

The team is still playing at home, the opponent is Albacete.

In the first 60 minutes of the game, Barcelona was still unable to attack for a long time, and Larsson failed to score.

So much so that in the 65th minute, Rijkaard had no choice but to make a substitution. Su Dong and Messi came on the bench successively.

Just one minute after Su Dong played, Giuly sent a wonderful pass, and Su Dong pushed and shot in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Barcelona.

Before the end of the game, another assist from Su Dong helped Messi score in stoppage time.

2-0, Barcelona won Albacete at home.

One pass and one shot, Su Dong came off the bench but shined brightly, showing a good competitive state.

After the game, Su Dong gave a rare interview to the media, saying that the team still needs to focus on stability in the away game against Liverpool.

I always believe that as long as we defend well, we will have a chance to break the opponent's goal.

What Su Dong said was to remind Rijkaard that he had already mentioned this matter to the Dutch in private, but Rijkaard meant to grab a wave after the opening.

We want Liverpool to play against us!

Is it really so?

…………

…………

On the evening of May 3, Liverpool Anfield Stadium.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool actively pressed and pressed from a high position in Barcelona's half, and in the third minute, Riise made a low pass from the left to the middle, and Gerrard took advantage of the opportunity to pass behind him. The attacking goalkeeper Valdes.

Luis Garcia followed and pushed for an empty goal.

Three Barcelona defenders took turns in front of the goal to block the ball out of the goal, but the referee still whistled, indicating that the ball had crossed the goal line and the goal was valid!

One to zero!

The entire Anfield stadium has become a vast ocean.

Benitez crossed his legs and sat in front of the home team's coach, chewing gum hard.

He's balder than he was when he coached Valencia!
