Chapter Ninety-Four
After the resumption of the game, Deportivo launched an even more fierce attack on Barcelona as Cruyff had expected. Lao Lei's goal renewed Deportivo La Coruna's breath that was about to be broken. Barcelona, who pays attention to technical play, faces Deportivo La Coruna, who is almost crazy, and has a feeling that it is unreasonable to meet a soldier in a show. Although both teams also pay attention to technical play, compared to the gorgeous and delicate Barcelona, Deportivo La Coruna is different from this crazy spirit.
Such an offensive situation forced Barcelona, who wanted to stabilize the situation because of the lead, to be a little chaotic. Even Lao Lei, who played in the midfield position, moved forward to the midfield at this time, helping Deportivo frontcourt players to harass Barcelona's midfielders. On the defensive end, Lao Lei has changed from a defensive midfielder to a defensive forward. As for Barcelona's brain, Pep Guardiola is his key target. His move inadvertently had a great effect.
This period is the era when the playmaking midfielder is at its most glamorous, and the defensive midfielder has not yet appeared, forming a targeted opposition. And Lao Lei's position relocation just allowed him to play the role of a defensive forward. At this time, there is no attention paid to arranging a beast waist to protect the side of the organizational back waist, so Lao Lei can directly interfere with and destroy Guardiola's organization.
In the frontcourt, in the face of Guardiola, who was at an obvious physical disadvantage, Lao Lei shamelessly chose to use his strong body to endlessly contact Guardiola, and let him do any technical moves, which did not go well. Lao Lei's hit just hit the soft underbelly of Guardiola and Barcelona. As the brain of the Barça system. Guardiola was entangled like kraft candy by Lao Lei and was forced to scramble. Efficiency plummeted.
Coupled with the cooperation of Deportivo La Coruna's other frontcourt players, Barcelona fans were surprised to find out. His midfield was completely dominated by Deportivo La Coruna. The control of the midfield is like the most important lifeline for a team like Barcelona that focuses on ground coordination, and the lack of midfield is like being cut off from life supplies for them.
Barça's midfield's support for the forward line has dropped significantly. And without Barcelona's midfield support, Barcelona's front court has a gorgeous squad and stars, and there is no place for it. Cruyff, who was on the sidelines, was surprised to find that the Barcelona Dream Dynasty, which he had built and was proud of, was actually in his strongest attack. It has been greatly curbed, and there is no effective solution.
In fact, in real history, Capello's AC Milan used this similar way to give this Barcelona team a near-humiliating defeat in the Champions League final. Capello changed his formation decisively in the absence of two big players at the back. Up front, he put in two defensive forwards and almost completely disrupted Barcelona's midfield organization, and Barcelona's forward line was like a toothless tiger without any threat without adequate support. The whole game. Barcelona's attacking system is almost paralyzed and out of standard.
Having lost the biggest reliance on attack, they were beaten to the ground by Fabio Capello's AC Milan. In this way, when the media was once optimistic before the game, Cruyff's Barcelona was unexpectedly beaten 4:0 by AC Mulan. Swallowed an embarrassing zero egg. And such a situation inadvertently, Lao Lei's move forward appeared in advance.
In such a situation. Stoichkov, who was bent on paying homage to the old ray again, could only jump up front to ask for the ball, but received little response. Because Barcelona's pass was blocked in midfield. Only in their own half, between the midfielders led by Pep Guardiola at the back. conduction. In terms of the situation, a situation was formed in which Deportivo La Coruna pressed Barcelona to play. Cruyff on the sidelines and the Barcelona fans in the stands could only watch the situation on the field with fear, and the mentality changed from expecting the team to score another goal to seal the win, to now the team can hold on to this one-goal advantage.
In the 85th minute of the second half, Guardiola finally sent a pass that matched his level after adjusting to the stalking of Lao Lei. A precise long pass found Stoichkov, who had been asking for the ball for a long time. However, just as he was about to move forward with the ball, he was decisively pulled to the ground by Donato next to him, and used a tactical foul to disrupt the attack launched by Barcelona's midfielder.
Stoichkov, who was already in a bad temper, saw that the pass he had finally received this time was lightly destroyed by Donato, and decisively launched his explosive temper. He stood up and struck Donato beside him with a hammer, knocking Donato to the ground. This immediately ignited the already tense atmosphere on the field, like throwing a torch into the powder magazine.
In order to calm and control the restlessness of the Deportivo La Coruna players, the referee decisively showed Stoichkov a red card to the boos of the Barcelona fans and sent him directly to the stadium. In the next five or six minutes, Barcelona will have to play with 10 men. Considering Barcelona's previous extremely ineffective situation on the field, Barcelona is likely to pay for Stoichkov's temporary uncoolness.
Seeing Stoichkov being sent off with a red card, Lao Lei saw his heart and said that it saved me a lot of effort, but I didn't expect him to end up like this. In a certain way, Lao Lei even has some regrets. He knew that Stoichkov could be brought down so easily, and he regretted that he didn't do it before Donato, which he liked to do.
After the resumption of the next game, Cruyff, who has always been proud and untamed, also adopted a substitution strategy to strengthen the defense. Romario and Hagi were substituted, and the intention of the substitution was obvious, which was to hold on to the final five or six minutes and maintain the one-goal advantage until the end.
After the resumption of the game, Barcelona quickly moved the line back and played a dense defense at the edge of their penalty area. At the Camp Nou, Barcelona were pinned down near the penalty area, bombarding and bombing, which was a spectacle. And A Coruña accomplished this feat. This is a memorable event for them. It's on par with victory. As the A Coruña commentator commented: "Regardless of the final result of this match, we should take our hats off to the watch of this Deportivo team." They may have finished the club's history. The most memorable performance. ”
But Lao Lei doesn't think like this, to score a goal, at least to equalize, that's what he wants. Although there are also thoughts about staging a super reversal and achieving the first victory of the dungeon. However, the difficulty is too great, and he can only work hard for this old Lei to do it, and then accept any result calmly. However, a draw is what Lao Lei is determined to win, after all, the game has reached the current situation, and if it can't be drawn. Even if it's too much of a failure. By now, Deportivo La Coruna can really press the attack with all their might, and Barcelona is really powerless to fight back.
However, Barcelona, who are fully defensive, also have a lot of pressure on the defensive end. Although they are now paying more attention to the old ray, the problem is that Deportivo have three people in the front court who send the lethal threat ball, Forlan, Manharin and the old ray. The current position of these three people is scattered, which disperses Barcelona's defensive strength, and the result is that the defense of everyone cannot be meticulous and thorough. If you want to be comprehensive, but you can't do it well, Barcelona's current defense is quite helpless to take care of the east and not the west.
Due to such a situation. Barcelona's defense was like a boat in a big storm for the rest of the game, and there was a possibility of capsizing at any time. In the 88th minute of the second half, Lao Ray and Forlan took advantage of a delicate collision with the wall. The result of transposition was achieved. Ray's heel gave Forlan a shot from outside the box. Since Barcelona's penalty area was too large to penetrate due to the number of people, long-range shots naturally became Deportivo's main attacking tool. Forlan's long-range shot. Playing at a very high level, the football raced towards the corner of the left foot of the goal.
At the critical moment, Lao Subi made contributions again. He used the tips of his fingers to block Forlan's shot. After the ball was slightly changed by Subi's fingertips, it hit the outside of the left post and bounced off the bottom line. The stands at Camp Nou suddenly resounded with a glad gasp. It shows the uneasiness of Barcelona fans.
However, old Subi can save Barcelona once, but not forever. After the corner kick was issued, the ball was finally pushed out of the penalty area by Koeman, and Lao Lei took the lead in grabbing the second drop outside the penalty area. After Lao Lei controlled the football with his back to Barcelona's goal, Guardiola was already pressed up behind him.
Lao Lei lifted his right foot and made a gesture to accelerate sideways to dribble the ball to the right to get rid of Guardiola's defense. After causing Guardiola's center of gravity to move to the left, Lao Lei's right foot fell and did not touch the football, and then his right foot suddenly hooked the football back. Taking advantage of Guardiola's adjustment of gravity, Lao Lei relied on the explosive power that has not weakened until now, and kicked him hard with his left foot to get rid of Guardiola's left.
This action is no stranger to everyone in Barcelona, the fans, the players, including their manager Cruyff. Cruyff's turn, the escape action named after Cruyff, was re-enacted at Camp Nou by the old ray in the name of the Deportivo La Coruna player. Cruyff looked at Lao Lei's action, and he seemed to see the galloping figure of his youth in a trance. And the Camp Nou, because of this action, once again fell into an inexplicable silence.
After getting rid of Pep Guardiola, Lao Lei adjusted a few steps, and suddenly a kick came to a long shot. Lao Lei hit a quick low flat ball, and the ball flew through the dense crowd in the penalty area to the bottom right corner of the goal. Old Subi's vision was blocked by the crowd, and he had nothing to do about Lao Lei's sudden cold arrow. The ball grazed the right post and flew into the goal. 2:2, Deportivo La Coruna equalized the score at the last moment with a long-range shot from Tongguò Laolei.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Unbelievable! Lore!! Lore!!! It's Silva again! It's so wonderful again! Silva scored twice, the first and second goals of his career.
This time he used Cruyff's way to kill Cruyff's team. It was a match that would be enough for him and all the fans of Deportivo to remember for a lifetime. “
After the goal, Lao Lei ran away excitedly. Inadvertently, he passed by the bench in Barcelona and saw Cruyff looking at him with a stunned expression.
He suddenly stuck out his tongue at him, shrugged his shoulders, and made a gesture that I was also helpless. (To be continued......)
