*****

The semi-final match of the Champions League was enough to attract the attention of the whole of Europe, so nearly 150 media declared their entry before this game, not including more than a dozen well-known media from China.

This shows the importance of this game.

Although this match was the third match between Valencia and Barcelona in 10 days, it has caused aesthetic fatigue for many, but the importance of this game cannot be doubted.

Because Barcelona won Valencia 2-1 at home in the first leg of the Camp Nou, they only need to hold a draw to advance to the final!

If the home side Valencia want to qualify for the final, they will have to score a goal in this game and not let the visitors Barcelona score.

Otherwise, a goal at home is not enough for them!

Therefore, the double reversal players played very hot in the first few minutes of the game, and there were signs of continuing the pre-game gunpowder smell into this game, but fortunately, it was the Italian bald whistle Corina who enforced the game, otherwise this game was really difficult to control.

In the ensuing time, Van Bommel carried out the task assigned by Rijkaard very well, and he followed Elo wherever he ran, so in the opening ten minutes, Elo did not have any bright spots except for the continuous wearing of Van Bommel's crotch not long after the beginning.

With Iroh being targeted, Valencia's problems on the offensive end of the pitch are gradually revealed.

Because Valencia's attack this season has basically been launched from the wing, sometimes Iroh has been seen dead, and there is also Vicente, but now Vicente has been injured and missed the whole season.

Aimar is more of an assaulter in the middle, so Valencia's attack depends more on Aillo's play.

If Valencia's attack is problematic, then it means that Barcelona don't have any threat in defense, and there is no threat in defense, so they will put more troops in attack.

Ronaldinho, who played well in the last Copa del Rey final, was naturally taken care of, Moretti and Baraja did not dare to relax their vigilance, and central defender Marchena was also watching Ronaldinho's movements while being wary of Eto'o forward.

Ronaldinho was very calm in the boos of this Valencian agglomeration, and under the joint defense of Moretti and Baraja, he could also do actions such as pedaling a bicycle and flicking the tail of a bull.

This attack was the same as before, he got the ball on the left and immediately attracted the attention of Moretti and Baraja, and then his upper body made an illusion of breaking through the gap in the ribs, and then suddenly he slammed the ball with the inside of his foot to the baseline.

Ronaldinho, who was at the peak of his explosive power and speed, took a very fast step, so Moretti had to turn a corner from the opposite direction and chase Ronaldinho in order to hold on to his position.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that after Ronaldinho dunked the ball in the direction of the bottom line, he didn't go down resolutely, but dunked the ball back with his left foot, which was tantamount to playing Moretti and Baraja.

As a result, the home fans in the stands behind Ronaldinho were furious and booed.

Moretti and Baraja looked at Ronaldinho, who was standing in place and making a feint, and quickly lowered their center of gravity, staring at the football at the latter's feet.

Facing Ronaldinho, who almost killed the game in the last game, they did not dare to let up any slackening.

Ronaldinho picked up his right foot on the spot and made the illusion of breaking through to the baseline again, but this time Moretti did not take the feint, so Ronaldinho changed his strategy, using his explosiveness and ankle changes, turning the outside of his right foot to the left side of the football, and before Moretti and Baraja could react, he went back and forth, making a cross.

So both of them felt that after Ronaldinho shook off the angle this time, he would definitely cross, and subconsciously stretched out his left and right feet, ready to block Ronaldinho's cross.

But when they made the move, they didn't see the football from Ronaldinho, so they quickly realised it was a feint.

That's right, it's a fake move.

Before the two could retract their movements, Ronaldinho took advantage of his ankle dexterity and pushed the ball towards the baseline with the instep of his right foot.

"What a beautiful continuous feint!"

The local Catalan commentator saw Ronaldinho's feint from the camera, and he was so excited that his face turned red and he looked extremely excited.

Well?

Moretti, who was just about to retract the defensive move he had just made, was stunned at first, and then startled.

It turned out that Ronaldinho's moves were all paving the way for left wing-back Van Bronckhorst to insert the edge at high speed.

Moretti put down his outstretched left foot, and then hurriedly turned his body to block Van Bronckhorst's side cross, but at this moment an accident appeared, and the action of blocking Ronaldinho's cross just now was not fully recovered, so he hastily adjusted his center of gravity to block Van Bronckhorst's cross, so he lost his center of gravity when he turned, and then slipped and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the fans in the stands on the right side of Valencia's defense, who had been booing, quickly changed their mouths and let out a burst of exclamations.

Their hearts seemed to have been pricked by needles at this moment, and they gasped.

Van Bronckhorst, who was about to cross directly, did not expect Moretti, who was solid defensively, to make this mistake, and after a short period of consternation, he quickly changed the footwork of his left foot and used the inside instep to send the ball into the box.

Without saying a word, Marchena stepped forward to fill the gap in Moretti and put pressure on Van Bronckhorst.

Van Bronckhorst was so old that he got the ball into the position he was standing on as soon as Marchena left his defensive position.

Inverted triangle pass!

Ronaldinho ghostly appeared in a lethal position, shooting with his feet.

When the home fans saw Ronaldinho, their hearts fell to their throats.

Is it going to be conceded in less than 10 minutes?

No!

A sturdy figure immediately appeared on the path of the football flight, and Canizares made a crucial save at a critical time! Save the ball from the bottom line with one palm!

"Dragon! The sword is not old!! Hyde raised his arms excitedly and shouted, as if the team had scored a goal, "This moment makes us feel as if we saw him ten years ago!! ”

Whew-w

At the same time, the home fans in the stands also exhaled the breath that had just fallen into their throats, and the feeling of escaping death made them subconsciously pat their chests, until Iroh returned to the penalty area to push Xavi's corner kick out of the penalty area, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

If you concede the first goal in a home game, then this game is really difficult to play!

*****

Barcelona have been fighting more and more with the previous direct threat to Valencia's goal, and their frequent runs and passes have shown their passing football to the fullest.

However, Valencia also went through the danger just now, and the defense became more cautious.

So once in a while, there will be a chance or two to fight back.

At the end of the day, football is a game of offense and defense.

There is defense to attack, and a team cannot always be in a state of attack or defense, even if the team that is forced to defend is not capable of it.

Iello's characteristics are very distinct, so he returned to his familiar position in this game, and naturally received the most attention, as can be seen from his white home jersey dyed a lot of blue-gray.

Van Bommel has suffered a lot of insults from Ilo in the past four games this season, so he spared no effort in defense, and when it was time to foul, he fouled on the spot, without the slightest hesitation, so this game was very difficult for Ilo.

Sometimes, because the left foot is not his good foot, he is often forced to use the left foot to handle the ball.

Although the left foot is still quite good on occasion, it is easy to distinguish between the dominant foot and the non-dominant foot when it is crucial, and in this game Djekaard's idea is to keep forcing Iroh to touch the ball with his left foot.

As a result, it was difficult for Valencia to threaten Barcelona's goal through normal channels in the process of switching from defense to attack.

Iello also thought about using his breakthrough to create a foul and then break the deadlock with a free-kick, but the Barcelona defenders had clearly been warned by Rijkaard before the game.

He didn't create a threatening direct free-kick position in the past ten minutes.

Barcelona are more of a foul on the wing or far from the goal, very sophisticated.

*****

"It seems that Rijkaard has completely found a way to deal with Ai in these defeats, the defense is meticulous, and he has been constantly highlighting in the first few games, and he is completely dumb down in this game... In the absence of a qualified substitute winger, it will be difficult to rely on one Ai to reverse Barcelona in this game and get a chance to qualify for the final......"

Andy Gray, a well-known Sky TV commentator, commented worriedly.

"Beautiful! That's it!! We don't have any worries to put this Chinese kid at bay and be able to organise a more dangerous attack, and if we can score a goal in this game, then Valencia will have to score at least three goals at home to qualify for the final, but ...... Could such a possibility be possible at the foot of such a mighty Barcelona? The answer, of course, is ...... No way! ”

The local media in Catalonia were relentless in defining Valencia as elimination.

Hyde said worriedly at this time, "We have encountered unprecedented difficulties in this game, if we want to advance to the final, then we must score first, otherwise it will become a long night, and at the same time we have to watch out for Barcelona's attack, otherwise it will be ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, Barcelona organized an attack, and Ronaldinho, who had been operating on the flanks for the last few minutes, suddenly moved to the middle and caught Baraja off guard.

The whole backline suddenly became tense because of the change.
