Chapter 128: Ronaldinho's Final Battle (Part II)

The score remained 3-1 until half-time and Chelsea will take the two-goal advantage into the second half. Now everyone with a discerning eye knows how difficult it should be in the second half if Barcelona wants to turn the tables. If they are to continue their Champions League campaign this season, they will need to win by three goals in the second half against Chelsea. At Stamford Bridge this season, it was an impossible task.

Barça themselves are clear about this. Although Ronaldinho's goal gave them a little hope, it was only a reservation. As it stands, it's only a matter of time before they take their last breath. The lonely faces of the Barcelona players when they left the field became the best proof of this, and I am afraid that even they themselves have sentenced themselves to death in their hearts.

Among them, even Ronaldinho is no exception. Despite still shouting the slogan of "victory", the Brazilian knew that his first Champions League campaign at Barcelona would end here. The stubbornness in front of Lao Lei is just because he doesn't want to admit defeat in front of Lao Lei. What Ronaldinho is doing now is quite a kind of tragic spirit of Conciu's "knowing that he can't do it", and this slogan can also be regarded as his encouragement to himself.

If Barcelona fans still have a glimmer of unpredictable hope, then the mainstream opinion of the outside world has already sentenced Barcelona to death, and Lineker has even defined the second half of this game as "Barcelona's battle of dignity" at half-time. Everyone knows that unless a super miracle happens, Barcelona's defeat is a foregone conclusion.

Currently such a shape shì. It is also very obvious that Xiàn is in the dressing room atmosphere of both teams. Compared to Barcelona's lifelessness, Chelsea's side is undoubtedly much more relaxed. Even Mourinho, who said that he could not be underestimated, could not hide the relaxed and happy smile on the corner of his mouth. Barcelona are now in a fiasco. made this "little translator" who was not valued in Barcelona at the beginning particularly happy. If possible, he would even like to fly in front of Cruyff at once to count and provoke the "stubborn old man".

As the clock ticked 15 minutes and the players from both sides were back on the pitch, the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge remained as hot and hilarious as it had been at the end of the first half. The enthusiasm of the Chelsea fans has not waned in the slightest, and they are still singing and dancing as if they were celebrating Christmas. This kind of game scene that presses the top European giants makes them fascinated. Can't be calm. They have always played the role of spoilers in the past, but at this moment they have tasted the sweetness of being the protagonists.

Amid the roaring team anthem of the Chelsea fans, referee Kriner blew the whistle for the start of the second half. Barcelona after kick-off. Adhering to the fierce attack of the first half, pressing into the Chelsea half, like a soldier who was about to die on the way to the charge, the scene was quite a heroic atmosphere. However. On the other hand, Chelsea were more than winners. In the second half, they will continue to defend their counter-attacking strategy. For Mourinho, it is a very thankless task to go to Barcelona again at this time. It's the same thing that a hunter will follow a wounded beast until it's exhausted before ending its life.

In the 52nd minute of the second half, Ronaldinho, Lao Lei, Deco, Lampard and several others formed a chaotic situation in the middle of the Chelsea penalty area. In the wrong in and wrong out. The football fell to Samuel Eto'o by coincidence. From 21 yards out, the African cheetah fired a powerful shot wide of the far post. As the first shot of the second half. The two teams began a fierce tremor in the second half.

Four minutes later, Van Bronckhorst stepped in and joined Ronaldinho in a wall combination. The Brazilian received a knockback ball from Van Bronckhorst and made a series of continuous and fluid directional feints on the edge of the left side of the penalty area, before accelerating directly to the outside to eat Ferreira from the outside. Then, his next pass, instead of being in front of goal, was passed to the edge of the box. Andres Iniesta, who received the ball, stopped and shook off Lampard before shooting straight at goal for Barcelona's second shot in the second half. The shot was powerful but angled and easily parried away by Cech.

With Barcelona's two full-backs also pressing frequently, although Barcelona's attack is more intense, the gap they leave at the back is also larger. Especially in the 59th minute of the second half, after Rijkaard let go and replaced Gerard with Gyuli, Barcelona's backfield can be said to be almost unguarded. In the face of such a huge gap, Chelsea's counter-attack had the best stage to play.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Iniesta dribbled too much in the front of the penalty area, and Lao Lei seized the opportunity. After continuous physical confrontation, Lao Lei made a fierce effort and successfully stabbed the football at Iniesta's feet from his side. Then, Lao Lei immediately made another beautiful long pass and found Duff, who had been activated on the right side. The open field in front of him allowed Duff to play his speed advantage heartily.

Coming to the vicinity of the Barcelona penalty area, he gave the ball to Gudjohnsson, who was following up in the middle. The Icelandic striker was unguarded and finished with a shot. Unfortunately, if it weren't for Valdés' right toe, Barcelona would have conceded another goal. But after this attack, everyone knew that as long as Chelsea's strikers weren't in the worst form, it was only a matter of time before Chelsea scored again. With a solid and orderly defence, Chelsea's counter-attack was a few points better than the Barca that were pressed by the army.

Amid the clamours of Chelsea fans, the goal finally came in the 67th minute of the second half. It was another counterattack, and another long pass from Lao Ray was launched, and Kezman received Joe Cole's cross and drew a successful end to the counterattack with a tackle in front of the goal. Faced with the football bouncing in the door, Puyol suddenly kicked hard. The resentment and loneliness in his heart at the moment were completely vented with this kick.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! 4:1! Mattea scored another goal to complete the game's brace. Although the top scorer in the Eredivisie. This season's performance at Chelsea can only be considered average, but I believe these two goals are enough to make him forget these troubles and be happy for the rest of his life. In a game. Breaking through the door of Barcelona twice is a rare thing for all players. ”

Kezman's goal not only detonated Stamford Bridge at this moment, but also sucked away the last trace of the soul of the entire Barcelona team. In the face of such a defeat, unless God suddenly rains a meteorite to kill the entire Chelsea team, there is no chance of Barcelona winning at all. It was a goal that completely killed the suspense. Even the theoretical possibilities are all but wiped out at this point. Stamford Bridge is starting to sing a victory song at this point, and the commentators have already begun to comment on why Barcelona had such a big defeat.

After seeing the football enter the net in the backfield, Lao Lei lightly clenched his right fist. With a faint smile on his face. At this moment, he was not very excited. For him, it was just a somewhat unexpected victory. Because he didn't pay too much for it, he wasn't as excited and excited as he was in the first round. Hugging Lampard in celebration. Ronaldinho's figure suddenly burrowed into the field of vision of Lao Lei. Panting, a little lonely and frustrated, but still upright and determined.

When the game resumed, the last bit of energy of the Barcelona players was gone with Kezman's goal, and they lost their fighting spirit. Although the number of people participating in the attack was still large, it was no longer as fierce as before. But there is one exception among them, and that is their number 10. Ronaldinho is still taking every chance to get the ball seriously and hard. is still struggling to make the last fight with Lao Lei. His self-esteem does not allow him to admit defeat in front of Lao Lei so lightly. Especially when the game isn't over yet.

But in the face of Chelsea's solid overall defence, his efforts alone are limited. Now he is like a mentally ill person who has found a wall, and then hit it with all his strength without hesitation. In the 68th minute of the second half, when he was already in question and was cut off by Lao Lei again, he was no longer able to make an effective counter-attack. In the end, he uncomfortably pulled down Lao Lei behind his back, allowing him to receive the first yellow card of the game.

Turning around, looking at Ronaldinho, who was sweating profusely, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he couldn't hide his tiredness, Lao Lei suddenly felt a little relieved and excited. At this point, he suddenly found a reason to continue playing the game at full strength, and his friend and rival had not given up on the game at the moment, still trying to beat him. Having such an opponent is a blessing for Lao Lei. The boring thing of Dugu seeking defeat is the last thing Lao Lei wants to face.

So, after the game continued to start, the people who were already summing up the game found something interesting on the pitch. Lao Lei and Ronaldinho seem to be completely out of the rhythm of the players on the field at the moment, and the two are still fighting fiercely and to the death when the players on both sides have already given up the game quite tacitly.

Before you know it, time flies, and the game has come to the 90th minute of the second half. At this time, the score of the two sides did not change, and it was still 4:1. Since the ball is now at the feet of Barcelona, Barcelona have the last chance to attack.

Seeing that the final time was about to pass, Ronaldinho raised his hand in a hurry and asked for the football from Deco's feet. When he took the ball and turned around, Lao Lei, who was also a little out of breath, appeared in front of him, and the two started the last one-on-one duel of the game.

This showdown does not have the previous Martian Radius, nor the previous wonderful classics. Ronaldinho, who has long been short of energy, is no longer even able to make his trademark magic dribble at this moment. In the face of Lao Lei, he could only grit his teeth and chose to forcibly change direction to speed up. But his legs could no longer bring him much lightness and speed at this moment.

On the contrary, although Lao Lei withdrew from the state of the devil's muscles, after all, his physical fitness still has an advantage, and he is much better than Ronaldinho. A precise tackle on the ground blocked Ronaldinho's progress and brought referee Kriner's final whistle.

At the hot Stamford Bridge stadium, when the whole Chelsea team was busy celebrating, Lao Lei came together and came to Ronaldinho, who fell to the ground. At this time, the Brazilian was exhausted, and the sweat on his face was already making him a little unable to open his eyes.

Looking at him, Lao Lei suddenly smiled, with a look of relief and joy. He then took off his jersey and leaned down and extended his right hand to the Brazilian.

Ronaldinho, who eased up a little, saw Lao Lei's right hand, and did not stretch out his hand, but stood up stubbornly with a frown.

After exchanging jerseys with Lao Lei, he didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Lao Lei couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good! ”

The last look of the Brazilian at him was deeply etched in his mind.

It was a pair of bright eyes, shining with a lot of dazzling things.

Collectively, these things are one word.

Victory!! (To be continued......)
