Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The Champions League final staged at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome didn't even finish the first half and already created an atmosphere of ice and fire.

Barcelona fans could not recover from the shock of conceding the second goal for a long time.

And their players are obviously caught in tension and depression, and their psychological defense is probably close to collapse!

Even their coach Guardiola looked at the field with a trace of confusion.

From a theoretical perspective, a team that plays defensive counterattack must be seeking stability!

In layman's terms, they will appear to lack the courage to take risks.

But Leeds United was able to show courage and courage beyond all else in this wave of offensive!

The counterattack and blockade came as a surprise.

Barcelona, ​​which has always controlled the rhythm and initiative, was forced to launch a fast break like a duck.

What looks like an opportunity is actually a trap!

If they can simply clear the ball with a big kick.

There will definitely be no missed goals.

And Leeds United's goalkeeper can even reach the center circle to steal the ball.

This was definitely premeditated, rather than just being unlucky enough to be bumped into by Barcelona.

Because the goalkeeper hits the center circle, is this normal?

Guardiola realized at this moment that he had never learned the essence of Shen Hao's coaching during his three years at Leeds United.

As a spectator, he would cheer for Leeds United.

He can not only exploit his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, but also be patient and dormant, ready to go.

It can also dance on the tip of the knife to shock all living beings.

Guardiola was suddenly confused.

This chaos stems from the fact that he doesn't know how many backup options Leeds United still has.

Because Leeds United plays defensive counterattack.

Therefore, Leeds United can completely cut the game into every static paragraph. As for when it will suddenly launch a surprise attack that catches Barcelona by surprise, Barcelona cannot foresee.

Barcelona's pass-and-control style of play requires rhythm, continuous onslaught, strong control, continuous accumulation of advantages in dynamic games, constant pressure on the opponent, and finding the flaws exposed by the opponent under heavy pressure. Focus on the attack!

The pride and confidence he had built over the past season was almost completely destroyed at this moment.

It turns out that the proud tactical system is so delicate and fragile in front of the king in white clothes!

Barcelona were cornered.

At this time, they must attack in an all-out manner and have no choice.

Only attacking can unify their thoughts and reaffirm their determination.

Puyol and Xavi are all encouraging their teammates and pointing them in the right direction.

Barcelona started a strong attack.

Faster passing, more frequent interspersed running, and more decisive shooting.

Henry's shot in front of the penalty area was saved by Neuer.

Immediately afterwards, Messi gave up rushing into the penalty area, and instead crossed outside the penalty area and shot an arc with the instep of his inside foot. The football flew towards the far corner of the goal.

But in the end it slipped through the door, just a hair’s breadth away.

Leeds United's quick counterattack also continued to work.

Deisler and Modric matched the pass near the center circle and sent a precise mid-range direct pass.

Ronaldo had just stopped the ball and changed direction to dodge Yaya Toure's pressure. When he saw the spike change direction and was about to speed up, Busquets stretched his legs from behind and tripped him to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and then showed him a yellow card.

When Barcelona's offense spreads, it will be difficult for the defense to focus on restricting Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.

It is no longer realistic to block the two of them as securely as they did 15 minutes before the game started.

Either rely on your ability or commit a foul.

Just after 40 minutes of the game, Van Bronckhorst and Baines jointly advanced from the left and then sent a direct pass.

Ronaldinho stepped forward to receive the ball and then knocked the ball in a cross direction to get rid of Pique. The latter already had a yellow card and immediately lowered his raised hand, not daring to challenge the referee's bottom line.

When Ronaldinho dribbled in to face Puyol, he stepped on the bicycle and then paused to pass the ball to Ronaldo who was advancing. Puyol's center of gravity was slightly deflected.

At this time, Ronaldinho quickly spiked the ball and took a reverse cut route.

Seeing that he was about to be broken through, Puyol turned around and stretched out his legs to sweep Ronaldinho to the ground.

The referee took out the card again.

Puyol turned yellow.

Barcelona fans were in disbelief.

Why is the referee so harsh?

Although these fouls are actually worthy of drawing cards.

But penalties often have a cumulative effect.

If the situation was not so intense that it was on the verge of losing control, the referee would not have to draw cards frequently.

At this moment, Guardiola thought of something on the sidelines. He turned to look at Shen Hao, who was still standing with his hands behind his back.

Half a month ago.

When the Leeds Tyrant issued a warning to UEFA, people interpreted it positively, just to ensure that Leeds United got a fair Champions League final.

But look now.

UEFA wanted to make it look like Barcelona didn't benefit from being in the semi-finals.

It was overkill in this final!

Although Guardiola disdains playing tricks on the level of public opinion.

But I have to admit it at this time.

Before the final started, the tyrant in white had already gained an advantage for his team!

It has nothing to do with right or wrong. As a head coach, he fights for the interests of himself, the team, the club, and all the fans who love their team.

No matter where you go, there will be no problem.

On the other hand, Barcelona is very uncomfortable right now, but no matter how uncomfortable it feels.

The referee's penalty could not make them cry and shout that they had suffered injustice.

If they do this, they will only be scorned by public opinion.

Barcelona was very at ease with what happened that night at Stamford Bridge.

Ronaldinho once again prepares to take a direct free kick.

Barcelona did not dare to be careless this time, and Puyol even reminded everyone that there was a chance to make a direct rescue.

There is no guarantee that Leeds United will repeat their old tricks.

But Ronaldinho's direct free kick slipped past the goal this time and was just a hair's breadth away.

The peak showdown is also an extreme performance.

Barcelona fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Barcelona then reorganized their offensive.

Henry and Messi shot left and right, and each shot was blocked.

In addition to his role in instigating the first goal today and stealing the spotlight in the midfield interception, Neuer did an excellent job as a goalkeeper.

Not a single ball that should have been saved was missed.

Seeing that the game has entered injury time.

Barcelona's continuous offensive continued to start with the ball due to Leeds United's clearance.

This time Xavi suddenly rushed to the front of the penalty area to receive Messi's pass. Then he changed the direction of the ball and pulled it out of the angle to send a through ball.

The football rolled to the right side of the penalty area.

Eto'o made a smart diagonal pass to counter offside.

Kompany rushed to intercept but was too late.

Eto'o's explosive shot in front of the small penalty area blasted the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!

Even Neuer couldn't stop it this time!

"Barcelona pulled a goal back! This goal is wonderful, Eto'o's explosive shot is unsolvable!"

"Barcelona's strength is that they control the ball and launch continuous attacks. They may be able to prevent them once or twice, but if they do it three or four times in a row, there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the defense adjustment."

"Yes, especially this time Xavi's forward penetration was very surprising. Iniesta did nothing, but Modric did not dare to let down his guard."

"Barcelona pulled a goal back before half-time. This goal can not only narrow the gap, but also restore their confidence. I think if Leeds United scores the third goal, then Barcelona's psychological defense will probably collapse. .”

Shen Hao couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Let Barcelona seize a glimmer of life.

Guardiola clenched his fists in apparent encouragement.

Isn't this goal their own salvation?

Being able to break through Leeds United's dense defense is of great significance.

The halftime game ended quickly.

Leeds United walked into the dressing room with a 2:1 lead.

Shen Hao returned to the locker room to make adjustments and lectures.

The foreshadowing in the first half was enough, and the second half was when Leeds United really showed its strength.

The Leeds United generals are full of fighting spirit and confident.

After the intermission, the two teams returned to the court to change sides and fight again.

Although Leeds United leads the score, it may be because the disadvantage on the field is clear at a glance, and the gap in data is also very large.

Barcelona is significantly ahead of Leeds United in terms of ball possession rate, frequency of threatening attacks, number of shots and other statistics.

This made the audience feel that Barcelona was absolutely capable of overtaking the score!

Laporta in the box felt uneasy.

He had begun to pray secretly.

Must win, must win!

Shen Hao's family also cheered for the team like Leeds United fans, hoping that Shen Hao can continue to write glory.

The second half of the game has begun.

Leeds United's wave of offense failed to create a threat.

When Barcelona's offensive unfolded, they first launched a strong attack from the left. Henry's cross was cleared by Kompany, and then Barcelona controlled the ball and continued to launch a fast break.

Xavi and Iniesta's cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt, coupled with Busquets' support, this combination really makes Shen Hao envious.

But when Xavi passed the ball to Messi's feet, Messi changed direction to get rid of Van Bronckhorst, and then spiked the ball to pass Ze Roberto, Baines suddenly rushed in front of him. , there was no action of stretching his legs to steal the ball, and almost knocked Messi directly to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Then Baines was given a yellow card.

Baines had a good attitude and took the initiative to pull Messi up.

At this time Barcelona thought this was just an independent incident.

But 3 minutes later, Messi dribbled in from the right to create a containment and once again shifted the offensive to the left.

But after Henry and Iniesta played a close pass and cut, Deisler knocked Iniesta to the ground from the side and behind with a move that was almost a hug.

It's just that his defensive skills and movements are not good enough.

So this is the only way to go.

Deisler dyed yellow.

Guardiola instantly realized what Leeds United were doing on the sidelines.

When he was playing for Leeds United, he also accepted Shen Hao's thinking about the rhythm of the game.

Leeds United used fouls to cut off Barcelona's continuous offensive rhythm.

This method is very effective, and it is not a unique skill. It is also common among many teams that are excellent at defensive counterattacks.

But on the other hand, it can be said that Leeds United has a good grasp of the essence of defensive counterattack.

They were not a temporary defensive counterattack against Barcelona.

It is the result of several months of careful training and practical training of techniques and tactics.

Guardiola understood clearly and felt that as long as Barcelona exhausted Leeds United's foul tolerance, there would be nothing Leeds United could do.

Leeds United could only delay but could not reverse the situation.

But...he was wrong.

Leeds United are delaying, but delaying is not to delay death.

But knock Barcelona into the abyss!

As the game approached the 55th minute, when Barcelona shifted the offensive back and forth in the frontcourt, Xavi completed a long shot but was blocked by Helgra with his body.

Modric quickly took possession of the ball and passed the ball across the left wing.

Van Bronckhorst responded and adjusted the ball to send a direct pass.

Ronaldinho took control of the ball while running forward, stopping and heading towards Barcelona's defense.

Neither Xavi nor Iniesta had time to return to defense.

Busquets and Pique both had yellow cards, so they could only adopt a zone defense, and it was impossible for them to intercept Ronaldinho alone.

Ronaldinho's lightning-fast dribbling had Leeds fans cheering him on with full attention.

When Busquets and Pique formed a zone defense to attack him, Ronaldinho suddenly braked, controlled the ball and stopped suddenly, then diverted the ball and changed its direction to cross to the center.

Busquets also braked hard but the rhythm was already slow.

He also wanted to twist and hit Ronaldinho, and then fall down to "touch porcelain".

But Ronaldinho turned to the center and passed the ball.

Busquets hesitated for a moment and did not execute the script he had directed in his heart.

Ronaldo received the ball from the front and dribbled at a slow pace, consciously attracting Puyol's defensive attention.

When he was riding a bicycle in front of the penalty area and seemed to be about to break through, Puyol would naturally not attack. At this time, the attack would be to actively expose the flaw and be broken through by Ronaldo.

After two rounds of cycling, Ronaldo naturally used his left foot to cross the ball to the right.

Even though Puyol guessed that Ronaldo was sending shells to Ronaldinho, he was helpless.

You can't give up defending Ronaldo in advance to block Ronaldinho, right?

Yaya Toure was determined to grab the upper hand.

Puyol pinned his hopes on him.

At least he's still clean.

If not, it’s a foul!

But Ronaldinho took the lead to stop the ball and then changed the direction of the ball with his right foot, seemingly about to rush in from the right.

If Yaya Toure makes a decisive foul, he has the opportunity at this time to directly knock down Ronaldinho and give Leeds United a free kick. He gets a yellow card and that's it. It's simple and crude.

But he turned around to block the route that Ronaldinho wanted to break through, turning himself from active to passive.

Now, even committing a foul may become very difficult!

next second.

When Ronaldinho was about to complete the action of picking the ball with his right foot, he spiked the ball to the left with his right foot.

Toss the oxtail!

Yaya Toure stopped suddenly. When Ronaldinho rushed past him, because his center of gravity had not been returned, not only was it slow to extend his legs, but the distance was not enough!

It’s even too late to get started!

Puyol gritted his teeth secretly.

Finished!

Ronaldinho swung his tail to break through Yaya Toure and then entered the penalty area to form a single!

Puyol tried his best to pursue diagonally, and Valdes was forced to abandon the goal.

Ronaldinho suddenly passed the ball to the left on the right side of the penalty spot.

Puyol didn't even stop and turned to look to the left, while Valdes braked and turned.

But Ronaldo, who reached the small penalty area, easily pushed the ball towards the empty goal with his forehead!

The football flies into Barcelona's goal!

The atmosphere in Rome's Olympic Stadium suddenly exploded!

Ronaldo turned around and hugged Ronaldinho with a smile.

A dream collaboration between the two Brazilian Mr. Ballon d’Or!

Wang fried!
