Chapter 576: Back-heel arc pass

This game is not ordinary!

Very unusual!

Many fans felt the same way, with Newcastle United leading by two goals on the pitch coming in second, with the key goals all going to Joey Barton.

That's magical!

O Barton!

England's famous bad boy, his temper can be listed as 'one of the worst in history', generally speaking, many 'bad boys' are not bad, such as Gascoigne, who is considered a bad boy, has a good personality on the field, and can be friends with many people, but in the game, the rough style and fierce movements make people feel that they are 'pregnant boys'.

Barton is a real bad boy, he is notoriously short-tempered, even if his skills are not bad, and he has been selected for the England national team, the club where he was born Manchester City can no longer tolerate it, and wants to send him away.

It's really 'bad'.

Of course.

'Bad' has nothing to do with ball skills, Barton's skills are worthy of recognition, but he is the kind of player who has both attack and defense, playing as a midfielder or a defender, and it is not so easy for a non-technical striker to score goals.

Even in a good season, Barton scored five or six goals, which is already a good statistic.

Now in one game, Barton scored two goals in a row.

Lose your marbles!

It's insane!

At this time, the fans only paid attention to Barton's goals, and it was absolutely amazing that Barton's consecutive goals were amazing, and what made them feel crazy was that Zhen Shaolong retreated to create opportunities for his teammates continuously, and the passing was very accurate.

If you make a comparison, many people think of David Beckham.

"Beckham? No, even when (Beckham) was at his peak, he couldn't compare with Zhen Shaolong in front of him......"

Keegan thought so.

Zhen Shaolong's pass was too accurate, so accurate that it was equivalent to putting the ball at Barton's feet, allowing Barton to shoot directly, Barton obviously didn't react just now, but he just stepped forward normally, and kicked the ball into the goal.

No need to stop the ball!

No need to look for a location!

"Even if Barton runs forward with his eyes closed, the ball can go straight in, right?" Keegan thought in surprise, "But Zhen...... Why not pass the ball to Irving? ”

This is the strange place.

Keegan found many times that Owen's position was good, and the defense next to him was also sparse, but when Zhen Shaolong got the ball, he only looked for Barton's position, "This guy still picks people to pass the ball?" Or is it that Owen doesn't have a good relationship with him......"

Keegan thought he had guessed why.

That's right!

On weekdays, Barton is Zhen Shaolong's number one supporter, even if he sees it, he is a little jealous, Owen is different, he can only be regarded as a normal teammate, and in the game, Barton also passed the ball to Zhen Shaolong continuously, Zhen Shaolong probably used the game to repay Barton for passing the ball to himself continuously?

All right......

Keegan felt that this was the only way to understand.

on the field.

Owen went to Barton's side and congratulated him on his goal, his words couldn't help but be sour, he saw the pass just now, and he wanted to vent a few words with jealousy.

That kind of ball......

If the same opportunity is placed in front of him, he dares to guarantee that he can score nine out of ten goals, and one less is because he can't talk full!

But!

How is the mentally retarded Barton getting a chance!

The only thing Owen can do is look at Zhen Shaolong sadly, Zhen Shaolong made a helpless move for him, without any restrictions, he will not refuse to pass the ball to Owen, after all, the game is aimed at victory.

But the mission skill is limited!

"Dream Pass" only has an effect on the pass to Barton, and it is strange that he passes the ball to Owen is an ordinary pass, and it can have an effect.

The other side.

Liverpool are very frustrated with the goal, they are already two goals down, and many players think about last season's game.

Two.

All lost!

They came with fighting spirit, but they were scored by the opponent in a row, and they felt that in the game, the opponent always scored the goal, and it was very difficult for them to score.

The main thing is Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong's performance was so good that it was very difficult to even restrict, Mascherano didn't ...... at all

That's right!

What was Mascherano doing?

Quite a few Liverpool players looked at it.

Mascherano was still standing in a daze, he was constantly thinking about what had just happened, the other party kept reading his name, and pronounced it as a mouse, and he felt that he was scolding himself.

He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the referee.

Then the opponent took the opportunity to catch the ball and passed it to Barton, who easily kicked the ball into the goal.

Right!

That's it!

Mascherano suddenly had a feeling that his IQ was insulted, and he also looked at the referee continuously, hoping that the referee could do something.

The referee ruled that the goal was valid, and then when he ran back and passed by, he patted Mascherano on the shoulder and made a 'I can't help it' expression.

The referee sympathized with him.

Just sympathy.

The referee didn't notice the conflict between Zhen Shaolong and Mascherano, but he also noticed that the two seemed to be talking, but he didn't act for a short time, and Mascherano suddenly stood up and said that Zhen Shaolong insulted him.

In this case, the referee will generally stand up and ask for the details, and the matter is confirmed and a warning is also needed, after all, the players should be civilized on the field, and it is definitely not good to swear on the field, and swearing to the referee and fans can be sent off directly.

But......

Provided that it is heard.

If the referee doesn't hear it, he can only warn him about the situation, or simply ignore it.

This is the case with Mascherano.

The premise of everything is that there are gaps in the game, there are no gaps in the game, it is still going fast, and the referee cannot interrupt the game.

So Mascherano stepped up and didn't defend right away, it's his own problem, he has nothing to do with anyone else, and the referee just sympathizes with him, anyway, he can't show schadenfreude.

"Alas......"

In the end, Mascherano could only sigh and remind himself by the way, "You must not talk to this guy!" This guy has too many eyes and is good at talking trash and affecting the opponent's play! ”

"I'm just too honest!"

The game resumes.

Newcastle United scored two goals in a row, which also made the whole team full of fighting spirit, and the playing field was at James Park, they can be said to occupy the right time and place, and the whole team has full confidence.

Every player is working hard.

But what must be said for sure is that Liverpool are very strong indeed, especially their midfield.

Gerrard!

Gerrard can be said to be the best inheritor of Liverpool's spirit, he will 'never give up' in the game, even if the score is behind, the situation is passive, Gerrard will hold on until the last minute, and his performance will also affect the whole team, and other teammates will be infected and continue to work hard.

So Steven Gerrard is the spiritual pillar of Liverpool.

Gerrard is the same now, the score has not affected him at all, he has been running back and forth, continuous sweat to help the team's defense and attack, and his enthusiasm soon ushered in the harvest.

In the thirtieth minute of the game, Gerrard received a pass from the edge of the penalty area, and after getting rid of the defense, it was a powerful shot.

Soccer ball hurtles to the goal!

Given's best to make a save, but the ball was too fast and the angle was a bit tricky, and he still couldn't block it.

1 to 2!

Liverpool pull one back!

"Gerald! Gerrard! Gerrard! 'The Liverpool fans of the visiting team shouted Gerrard's name and when he was two goals down, Gerrard not only played the role of a spiritual support, he also helped the team score directly, and the performance was really good.

People outside of Liverpool are gossiping about things inside and off the field.

The most exciting news before the game was the fight between Gerrard and Barton, neither of whom took advantage, and soon their confrontation continued into the game, Barton had already scored two goals, and Gerrard also scored one.

"They're solving problems with football!"

"That's true professionalism!"

"If there is a conflict outside the arena, just play to the fullest in the game and try to beat the opponent! This game is a big battle between Newcastle and Liverpool, and it is also a battle between Steven Gerrard and Barton! Both of them performed very well! ”

"Now it's up to us to see who wins the battle!"

Temporarily.

Barton leads.

Barton also knew that the battle between the two continued into the game, and he had thought so, and the other side probably did the same, but when he actually saw Gerrard's goal, he found that his performance could not necessarily win.

He scored two goals.

Steven Gerrard scored a goal.

To win in the battle, the team has to win, and at the best of the game, perform better than the other team.

Patton stood firm in his faith.

Zhen Shaolong didn't think about it so much, he was more concerned about the progress of the mission, and Barton had already scored two goals.

One more missing!

He keeps trying!

As the game continued to unfold, Zhen Shaolong's continuous running also allowed him to touch the ball more often.

Nature.

Opportunities have also increased.

This time.

Zhen Shaolong was 20 meters from the penalty line when he spotted Barton rushing forward, but he was entangled by Mascherano and there was no room for him to swing his foot and pass.

"Forget it!"

"Let's go first!"

Zhen Shaolong simply used "Attack", and after he stopped paying attention to football, he immediately accelerated and rushed.

Mascherano was unprepared for this, he was quickly left behind, and he couldn't catch up with any more than he tried to chase, and the other Liverpool players realized the danger and rushed over to help Ljungbergna, but he couldn't catch up at all.

Front.

Ager gave up his defense of Owen and rushed over to restrain Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong's speed was very fast, and he was about to jump over Ager, but Ager blocked it in time, so that Zhen Shaolong knew that if he continued to move forward, he would definitely collide with Ager, and the opponent might even tackle directly.

And then.

He glanced at the restricted area.

Owen ran empty.

Barton was also on the side, apparently worried about offside.

Zhen Shaolong continued to rush forward and collided with Ager's body, and the effect of "Attack" disappeared suddenly, but he also left Ager behind, probably only one body.

At this time, Zhen Shaolong could shoot.

Although Ager's influence is still great, it should be no problem to get up on his feet, Zhen Shaolong hesitated, but did not shoot directly, but stretched the ball in front of the ball, and passed the ball sideways with a light knock on his heel.

The ball spun around Ager and rushed towards the ...... Barton?

How could it be Barton?

At that moment, the most confused was the central defender Carragher, he saw Zhen Shaolong's actions, and immediately gave up Barton to defend Owen, because Owen was very close to Zhen Shaolong and was the easiest to receive passes, in addition, Owen was also unguarded.

But the ball spun and turned in front of Barton.

Such a good opportunity was in front of him, Barton did not hesitate, and directly waved his foot to shoot, because Zhen Shaolong attracted enough attention, and the goalkeeper Reina's position was a little right, and it was too late to adjust, Barton easily kicked the ball into the left side of the goal.

"The ball is in!"

The surrounding stands suddenly boiled again.

Door.

Several players couldn't turn their brains, still thinking about Zhen Shaolong's 'back-heel arc pass' just now, Owen was the first to react, he walked to Zhen Shaolong's side in two steps, and shouted like a resentful woman, "I was next to you just now, and there was no one around...... You gave the ball to Joey so hard......"

The resentment in the words sounded Zhen Shaolong's skin tingle.
