Chapter 110: The Second Half in the Making
"You can't do it, I promise! You can't do it! Hearing Lao Lei's words, Ronaldinho was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. As soon as he saw those banners on the big screen, he knew it in his heart. As Lao Lei's friend, he can understand Lao Lei's thoughts and practices. But understanding does not mean agreeing, in public and private, as the current Barcelona banner player, he will never watch Lao Lei go wild here and be presumptuous.
"Really?! Hopefully, by then, you'll be crying, man. Regarding Ronaldinho's attitude, Lao Lei has long known in his heart. If it weren't for that, Old Ray would have been shocked, because it wasn't the Ronaldinho he knew. Regarding his friend's response, Lao Lei did not continue to say more, and at this point, there is no need for verbal recklessness and confrontation.
Lao Lei straightened his headband and pulled all his hair, which had become long because he hadn't trimmed it for a long time, behind his ears. Then he stood in his position with a blank face, waiting for the restart. No matter whether the camera was still staring at him, or whether there were Barcelona fans maliciously shining a laser pointer at her, he stood on the pitch coldly, his blue pupils were like ice, and there was a cold energy all over his body. Seeing such an old thunder, a trace of solemnity flashed in Ronaldinho's eyes, and under the cold face of the old thunder, he seemed to see a terrible volcano that was about to burst out.
After the restart, the two teams that were back on the same starting line slowed down their pace. The Barcelona players needed a little time to adjust after the onslaught they had just made, while Chelsea did it because they had conceded a goal. It takes a little time to adjust your mindset and regain your morale. It's a very short process. After only two or three minutes, both teams adjusted. Re-attacking the opponent's defense, he launched his own attack.
The two sides once again fought fiercely on the pitch, and Chelsea, under the organization of Lao Lei, adopted a strategy of temporarily avoiding the edge, and did not fight against the morale of Barcelona. It was a wise decision against the Barcelona attacking line, which was gradually coming alive. Because it is not Chelsea who are anxious now, but Barcelona, the 1:1 score is only slightly better for them than just now, and it is far from satisfying. At this time. Based on defense and playing his sharpest counterattack, Lao Lei made the most secure and correct choice.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Samuel Eto'o came alive as Barcelona's midfield came alive. At this point, he pulled out of the box and received a pass from Deco. Then, he immediately flicked the outside of his right foot to Ronaldinho's feet on the left. Brazilians also understand it. A clever lob back ball put the ball back in front of Samuel Eto'o, who turned and stepped forward. At this time, the African cheetah perfectly demonstrates its agility and swiftness. After receiving the ball, dial and buckle. Directly shook off the angle of the shot. Then the left heel was followed by a strafing shot. Without Terry's beautiful block, it would have been a perfect duo to attack. The Chelsea captain once again used his own steady dìng to watch xiàn. It has become the anchor of Chelsea's backline.
Listening to the regretful exhalation and triumphant applause of the Barcelona fans in his ears, Lao Lei, who was standing on the edge of the penalty area, flashed his eyes. In just now. With Giuli pinned down on the edge of the box, he could only watch Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o attacking there. With Barcelona's attacking points coming alive one by one. Even he felt the trick. This is a typical embarrassing situation of covering this head and letting go of that head, and not being able to take care of both the beginning and the end. With another surprise at Basel's attack power, Lao Lei began to think, and he decided to suppress a Basel's attack arrow first.
While he was struggling with the candidate, Eto'o's cousin made him decide. After the clearance, Terry couldn't stop and brought Eto'o down. Then, before Terry could stand up, Eto'o approached him. The African cheetah, which was already in a bad temper, was attached to Terry's body with his whole body, and his mouth kept bursting out of trash talk, looking very excited.
As Chelsea's captain, John Terry isn't someone to fear. Not minding that this was the Camp Nou, he unceremoniously exchanged blows with Eto'o. If they hadn't been immediately pulled away by their respective teammates in the end, Lao Lei would have been 80% sure that they would have staged a live-action fight show here. Looking at Eto'o, whose mouth was still chattering after being pulled away, the corners of Lao Lei's mouth pulled slightly, pulling out a dangerous arc. At this time, the Barcelona fans who were shouting shrill boos did not know that their number one striker had been targeted by Lao Lei.
However, Lao Lei did not plan to do it immediately, because after all, the first half of the game had come to an end, and if he did it at this time, the effect would definitely be discounted. Second, he also felt that he should plan well and how to maximize the final effect.
Shortly after this clash, the game came to the final minutes of the first half. Even at this time, the two sides still did not relax the intensity of the game, and at this point in time, they also had an offensive and defensive round with each other. In the 45th minute of the first half, Barcelona once again pushed the ball to the edge of the Chelsea penalty area. After Ronaldinho received a pass from Albertini, Van Bronckhorst also assisted.
Facing the defense of Duff and Ferreira, the two played a beautiful one-two. Near the baseline, Ronaldinho turned around with a beautiful back-to-back pick-up, forced Ferreira, wiped it hard, and continued along the baseline towards the Chelsea penalty area. Then, before he could enter the forbidden area, he found that Lao Lei appeared in front of him.
In this situation of limited space, Ronaldinho did not choose to force Lao Lei, but directly made a pick-up pass, and he wanted to find Eto'o who was outflanked in the middle. However, to his surprise, Lao Lei, who came to him, seemed to know in advance what he would do. When the toes fall, they immediately complete the turn, as if they were dancing a waltz.
The anticipation defensive skill was triggered at this time, and Lao Lei easily spotted Ronaldinho's next move. As a result, before Eto'o could stop the ball, he was faced with a double bag of John Terry and Old Ray. This is Chelsea's highest-standard two-man wrap-up defense, and even Eto'o is helpless in the face of such a defense, and the cheetah, who has no space, is immediately less than fifty percent less threatening.
In such a situation, Lao Lei stretched out his foot and poked it and easily broke the football. Then, in the face of Ronaldinho, who pounced on the counter-robbery, he did not delay at all, and directly flicked the outside of his instep and distributed the football to Duff, who had already turned around to accelerate. At this point, Van Bronckhorst has not yet returned to his defensive position, and it is a good opportunity to play on the counter-attack. It's a pity that in the end, Drogba's header in front of the goal grabbed the point, but it was slightly off the post and did not seize the opportunity to expand the score.
After this attack, the referee blew the whistle for the end of half. After returning to the dressing room, Mourinho immediately seized the time to start setting up the tactics for the second half. didn't make too many adjustments, just emphasized one point, asked Lao Lei to speed up the tempo, turn the game into a chaotic battle, and not give Barcelona a chance to stand on his feet and attack again. This coincides with Lao Lei's plan, and after nodding to Mourinho, he began to think about his plan for the second half.
10 minutes later, when they were about to walk out of the players' tunnel, an unexpected situation happened. This time it wasn't Lao Lei who was in trouble, but Mourinho and Rijkaard were entangled together, and the assistant coaches of both sides were also involved. The people on both sides were like shrews scolding on the street, scolding each other in person, and the scene was so lively. The players on the scene were all mushy and didn't know what was going on, and said we didn't do anything, why did you do it first. After the two sides pulled them apart, Lao Lei knew what was going on.
The reasons are simple and complex. After walking out of the dressing room, Mourinho saw Rijkaard standing next to the manager on duty, talking mysteriously. This scene made Mourinho very dissatisfied and immediately went up to express his opinion. It is estimated that Mourinho spoke a little rushed, so he led the conflict in the player's tunnel. At this time, even Lao Lei felt that Mourinho should be too sensitive because he wanted to win this game too much, and there should be nothing special between Rijkaard and the manager. However, soon in the second half of the game, Lao Lei overturned this conclusion, and it turned out that conspiracy theories are sometimes true.
However, this is still a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. After arriving at his position, he took advantage of the time before kick-off to go through the details of his plan again in his mind. Soon after, he spotted Samuel Eto'o standing at the tee-point. Looking at this African cheetah, Lao Lei made up the scene of the second half of the game that he expected, and a lewd evil smile rippled at the corner of his mouth. In order to leave a deep enough mark on the Camp Nou, he deliberately spent a lot of money to exchange some good things. You must know that now, in order to be able to keep yourself from losing due interest in the game, under normal circumstances, Lao Lei will not take advantage of the other party with some props.
This time, he made an exception for Barcelona and Mourinho, "Thank me and enjoy it!" Bastards! "Looking around at the red and blue crowds at the Camp Nou, the banners hanging all over the Camp Nou, Old Thunder's eyes were smiling, it was a hideous smile.
However, even Lao Lei did not expect that this second half would be far more intense, tortuous and controversial than he expected.
His appearance in the second half was the one that immediately made him Barcelona's most hated active player.
So much so that his smile after the game was also called "Camp Nou's nightmare"!! (To be continued......)
