Chapter 357: Ronaldinho's Outburst
****
"Haven't given up chasing the ball yet? Ha ha...... Sometimes I really have to praise the spirit of this Chinese kid, but on the football field, he will not make any changes because of the spirit of never giving up, even if he is given a supercar at this time, he may not be able to catch up......"
The local Catalan narrator mercilessly satirizes Iro.
The commentator's guest also nodded and agreed with him, "Yes, Victor is asking for a football from the ball boy on the bottom line, and it seems that he doesn't pay attention to the speed of this Chinese kid at all, haha......"
Then the two looked at each other, and then laughed.
The irony in his eyes is even more obvious.
At this moment, the cheers from the stands were louder than the cheers of the previous seconds.
The two Catalan commentators subconsciously turned their heads to look at the big screen.
Iroh fell to the green turf with a deep, long mark, and finally got it back before the ball rolled off the line, but he himself rolled off the football field due to great inertia and almost hit the billboard behind the field.
It was only at this time that Barcelona's backline players reacted and chased back frantically!
But at this moment, they are already behind David Villa and Aimar, and only catch up with the average speed Ferrer.
But fortunately, Iroh slid out of the field because of the huge inertia, in addition to the football still stopped on the bottom line, he was still off the field, if he was in a hurry, he could still defuse this threat.
Rijkaard was also a little relieved as long as Iroh returned to the edge of his penalty area before getting up to get the ball.
Iroh had already rubbed his aching right arm and crawled up from the sidelines, and he could already see his teammates rushing towards the Barcelona penalty area at high speed.
The most important thing is that Max and Puyol are still behind them.
It was a great opportunity to score!!
Now or never!
It's just that now he is on the right side, and Valdés is also in a good position, standing on the line of the small penalty area, if he crosses like this, he will definitely be intercepted by more than 90 percent, so ......
Enter the restricted area!
Iello took the ball from the baseline into the penalty area, and the whole person followed into the penalty area, in order to get a bigger angle, he slightly flicked the ball vertically.
Seeing this, Valdés could only return to the goal, not daring to continue to stand on the line of the small penalty area, for fear that Ielo would hit the goal directly.
Van Bronckhorst knew that the team was in crisis this time, and he must have a responsibility that he could not shirk, so he was very attentive, and when Iroh picked up his right foot to hit the goal 12 yards from the right side of the penalty area, he did not hesitate to block the eye.
But Iroh's move was clearly a feint.
The right foot that he picked up slammed and brushed past Van Bronckhorst, who was slashing in front of him.
He then made a pass that surprised the fans.
Because he made the dunk move the ball further away from the goal, plus the dunk also brought Max and Puyol closer to Freel and Aimar in front of the goal, in order to get the ball out in time.
At the same time as the ball was dunked, Elo quickly stepped on the right side of the football with his left foot, and his right foot awkwardly turned behind his left foot, in order to fully exert the force on the ball, his body also fell awkwardly to the left, and the toe of his right foot kicked to the bottom of the football.
To everyone's astonishment, Iroh made a flower-footed pass.
And this action also made Aimar, Ferrer, Max and Puyol subconsciously stunned for a moment, forgetting to scramble for this.
Valdés didn't have time to get annoyed, and followed the trajectory of the ball to the far corner, while not forgetting to glance this way out of the corner of his eye.
But this glance almost scared him into peeing.
David Villa took to the skies unmarked.
Then his forehead slammed into the football, which changed direction and flew towards the goal.
But at this time, Valdés was still in the middle of the goal, and he could only pounce forward, but the congenital disadvantage made him unable to stretch longer, and the ball grazed the far corner of the goal and crashed into the net.
"goooooooo ”
Indeed, 90% of the credit for this goal is to be credited to Elo, because it was all his chance to spell it out!
At the same time, the Valencia fans in the stands celebrated wildly.
Huang Jianxiang, Liu Jianhong and others also raised their arms and chanted with the surrounding Valencia fans.
The same is true for the Chinese reporters in the press gallery and the local reporters in Valencia, except for the Catalan reporters not far away, who are as sullen as dead dogs.
*****
**!
Rijkaard habitually angrily kicked a bottle of water at his feet to vent his dissatisfaction!
Because this goal was conceded in the final!
If you are not careful, you may miss out on this championship!!
Taking advantage of Valencia's celebrations, he hurriedly called Xavi over and asked him to convey his latest instructions.
Van Bommel went to the left to help defend Elo, and Deco's position was also slightly moved to the right.
Barcelona changed the position of several personnel on the field, and Eillo was in trouble when attacking, Van Bronckhorst and Van Bommel were teammates in the Dutch national team and would also be teammates at the club, so it was destined that the two would have no problems communicating with each other, and it would certainly be a lot easier to defend Eelo together.
As Iroh was restrained again, Valencia's offense became thunderous and rainy.
On the contrary, Barcelona took advantage of this time to chase and play, and the attack was vigorous, and the tidal wave of attacks almost made Valencia's backline a little overwhelmed.
It wasn't until the 43rd minute that Xavi launched a post-transfer attack, and Ronaldinho scored with a low shot from 15 yards out in the box to tie the score.
Both teams then became cautious, neither of them wanted to be breached again at half-time, after all, it was more comfortable to have a draw at half-time than to go into the dressing room with a goal down.
*****
Barcelona and Valencia players listened nervously in their dressing rooms as their managers laid out their second-half tactics, while the national commentators in the studio analysed the first-half game between the two sides.
The stands at Calderón Stadium are still bustling, with fans from all three parties busy their own business.
Just then, the Calderón stadium radio suddenly announced a message, followed by a burst of cheers from the entire stadium.
The director of the stadium reacted equally quickly, and hurriedly gave the camera to the rostrum.
Because the current king of Spain, Juan Carlos I, was on the scene.
This is Spain's traditional cup Copa del Rey, and every year the king of Spain comes to the final to watch the game and present the awards.
……
……
In the second half, Barcelona kicked off, so instead of anxiously passing the ball forward, the ball was passed back, and at the same time, using the width of the court, the personnel spread out as much as possible, and controlled the football at the feet of their own players.
Barcelona's pass-and-possession football is among the best in La Liga, as well as in Europe as a whole.
Under their familiar passing, Valencia's defenders looked a little passive when Barcelona kicked off, and they couldn't grab the ball, so the attack was naturally even more impossible.
In the three minutes from the start of the second half, Valencia did not touch the football at the feet of the Barcelona players.
Flores on the sidelines also had to admit that in terms of tactics and personnel, this Barcelona team was indeed their strongest in recent years.
Xavi was organized in midfield, Deco was in control of the rhythm, and Ronaldinho and Eto'o scored in his own hands, and the key point was that Ronaldinho sometimes had unexpected and subtle passes.
There is also a quick and flexible centre-back duo of Max and Puyol at the back, and apart from the occasional butter hand in goalkeeper Valdés, there are basically no flaws.
The mighty Barcelona took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to constantly mobilize Valencia's defence, as if they could put the opponent's backline at the threshold every time.
Flores' brow tightened.
Under this constant pressure, Barcelona overtook the score in the 60th minute of the game!
While all the Valencia players were focused on Barcelona's passing, Ronaldinho made the illusion of a pass to Eto'o from 25 yards out, causing Baraja, who was defending him, to subconsciously stretch his left leg and try to get his foot stuck in the passing lane.
However, Ronaldinho took advantage of Baraja's shift in gravity and he suddenly broke through into the penalty area.
The change was something that none of Valencia's defenders had anticipated, so Ronaldinho didn't react to Marchena's leisurely smash of the ball.
He next faced goalkeeper Canizares, and gently rubbed his right foot towards the bottom of the ball, which made a beautiful arc in the air and crashed into the far corner of the goal.
"Ronaldo de Assis Moreira !!" After being excited for a long time, the Catalan commentator finally vented this anger in his heart, "Two goals!" He helped the team to go beyond the score on the field! Leading Valencia 2-1!! ”
In Barcelona's last four matches against Valencia this season, Barcelona have lost both league games except for the Camp Nou win four days ago, and Ronaldinho has also been controversial.
Many believe that he has the team's top salary but has not been able to help the team win Valencia in the league, and that he has lost himself in Catalonia's superstar status.
But this match allowed him to prove himself!
He's still the same omnipotent Ronaldinho!!
Barcelona want to win the Copa del Rey this season, they still have to rely on Ronaldinho!!
