No. 369: Fierce Race!
"Tick! ......" The referee blew the whistle and the second half began!
In the stands, flags fluttered and war drums rumbled!
There was a huge shout from the fans on both sides!
The decisive battle has begun, and the Wolves, who took the lead in serving, attacked Barcelona from the left!
Bale crossed from the left to find Wang Rui in the middle, and Puyol was extremely accurate in his prediction and tackled the football in advance. Wang Rui did not directly reclaim the half, but pressed Puyol to rush over.
"Fight back!" Catalan TV roared loudly.
Puyol made slight adjustments under Wang Rui's pressure and passed the ball to Xavi with a diagonal shot. Kending's two steps forward didn't give Xavi a chance to turn around at all, and didn't allow him to launch a quick counterattack.
Xavi had to dribble the ball backwards, Kending bit him tightly like a maggot on a tarsal bone, and Wang Rui immediately came up to cover it. In a hurry, Xavi made a cross, and an orange figure descended from the sky like a divine soldier, stealing the football halfway.
The air in the stadium suddenly became tense, and Wolves not only curbed Barcelona's rapid counterattack with active pressing, but even grabbed the football again at their feet to form a counterattack opportunity.
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy? Keogh yelled: "Peter's steal is successful, he can shoot!" ”
"Shoot!"
"Smack! ......"After Peter got the ball, his center of gravity suddenly fell to the right, dodged Pique, and shot hard!
Pique, who has lost his center of gravity, has to block it as soon as his center of gravity drops. The ball flew like an arrow in front of Pique's toe and towards the left side of the goal!
"Nope! ……”
Countless Barcelona fans lamented in their hearts that the second half had just begun, and if their team was one goal behind, the situation would be really grim.
Valdés roared and pounced!
In the flash of light, Valdés did not save the football, and the football slid out!
"Wow! ……”
There were loud cries of regret and exclamation in the stadium, followed by thunderous applause.
Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "This goal was not scored though. But it will definitely boost the morale of the Wolves! ”
Catalan TV comforted the Barcelona players: "It was just an accident, Barcelona will never give Wolves such a chance again." ”
"Come on! Barcelona! You guys are the best team in the world! ”
"A lot of people think it's a game of strength and weakness, and the statistics from the first half confirm that view," said France 2. But Barca trailed Wolves in the most crucial statistic, with Wolves scoring two goals while Barcelona scored just one. ”
"To sum up the first half in one sentence, it was that Barcelona were in control of the game and Wolves won the score."
'But at the start of the second half, Wolves came close to scoring the Barca goal and they seemed to want to win the score. Take control of the game as well. ”
'Wolves' aggressive pressing will take the game in the other direction. The young Wolves have shown the world that this is not a game of strength and weakness, and that they have what it takes to challenge the mighty Barça! ”
"The competition is bound to get more and more intense!"
Milan TV said: "Wolves' high pressing is indeed very characteristic, once the opponent does not pass the ball decisively, the Wolves midfielder has the opportunity to press, while the other players wait for the opportunity to steal the football halfway. ”
'Pressing puts a lot of pressure on the players with the ball, at times like this. There will be problems with the quality of his passes, as was the case with Xavi's pass this time, which was robbed by Peter halfway. ”
'Wolves quickly counter-attacked after a steal in midfield. Form a shot. Peter's shot was so good that he was only half a metre away. ”
"That's where the Wolves are scary, they don't have to be afraid of attacking mistakes up front, and after the mistakes they press aggressively. Get the ball back at your feet and then hit the ground up with a quick counter-attack! ”
"This aggressive pressing also has two big effects, the first is to prevent the opponent from counterattacking quickly. The second effect is to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. ”
"A team like Barcelona that is about controlling the tempo, once you disrupt their rhythm, it's very difficult for them to be fluent in attack."
"Wolves can really do wonders!"
Before the game, the newspaper Sport believed that Wolves were no match for Barcelona, but now Milan TV believes that Wolves have a chance to win. That said, the media in the football powerhouse of Milan were divided over the game.
In the command area, Guardiola looked serious, he called Messi, who was closest to him, to the sidelines and gave his own command: "Pass the ball faster!" ”
Ince raised his eyebrows and yelled at Peter, "Good ball! ”
In the south stand, a loud voice sounded: "Wolves! ”
"Wolves!"
"Wolves!"
On the pitch, the Wolves players shouted at Peter, who was a little frustrated, and gave him a thumbs up.
Listening to the cheers of the coach, the encouragement of his teammates, and the shouts of the fans, Peter yelled, and his depression drifted through the Barcelona half with the roar.
At Barcelona's half, Pique felt a cold sweat break out of his back. Xavi admits to his team-mates that it was his mistake.
Barca, who have won four trophies, are undoubtedly in their prime, they know what it takes to win trophies, and instead of blaming Xavi, their team-mates stepped forward to comfort him.
The game restarted, Valdés kicked the football to Puyol, and the Wolves midfield rushed towards the Barcelona back line like a pack of crazy wolves!
A fierce game unfolded at the St. Louis II Stadium, and Wolves disrupted Barca's rhythm with their aggressive pressing, and Barcelona walked into a swamp like a lion, and every push was difficult.
The Spanish reporters off the pitch looked ugly, Barcelona was their pride, an unbeatable treble. British reporters are frowning, Wolves are just promotion horses in the Premier League, and they have forced Barcelona to look like this.
Dick Si and Gao Fushuai are not only evenly matched in the situation, but also lead in the score!
The winds in the media are slowly shifting towards Wolves, who believe they really have a chance to pull off a miracle. The heavy pressure was on the shoulders of every Barcelona player, and they looked extremely serious.
Since Pep Guardiola took charge of Barca, few teams have put so much pressure on them.
It is very ironic that this team is not a giant like Manchester United, but a Premier League promotion team.
It is clear that Barcelona are strong and as time goes on, they will push forward slowly, but once they get to within 30 metres of the Wolves goal, they will launch a fierce attack.
In the eleventh minute of the second half, Xavi kicked the ball over the top, and Thierry Henry on the left took two steps forward and volleyed before the Wolves central defenders did not pounce!
The soccer ball flies off the crossbar and out of the bottom line!
In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Messi suddenly cut inside and shot hard, and the football flew to the left side of the goal like a cannonball!
The hearts of Wolves fans almost stopped beating.
Messi's shot was angled so hard that the flying Oakes didn't touch the ball at all, and the ball headed towards the goal.
A flower of hope is born in the eyes of Barcelona fans!
Just when the Wolves fans were worried, "Pong! ......" with a loud bang, the football hit the post hard and flew out of the bottom line.
The hearts of Wolves fans can finally beat, and the flowers of hope in the eyes of Barcelona fans have withered. At this moment, Wolves suddenly launched a quick counterattack, and the central defender Craddock kicked the football into the center circle with a big foot!
Puyol yelled and pushed the ball back against Peter. Like a bolt of lightning, Bale took two steps forward to control the football at his feet.
Pique anxiously yelled at his teammates in the front court: "Retreat! Withdraw! ”
Bell, who holds the ball, is like a peerless swordsman holding a sword and rushing towards the opponent, he wants to stab the opponent's heart!
The Welshman's orange coat fluttered like lightning, and he scurried on the turf with a football.
Alves couldn't hold him, Pique was thrown off by him, and only Barcelona captain Puyol stood between him and the goal!
Wang Rui and Peter in the middle of the lane quickly intervened, what decision will the Welsh make! (To be continued......)
