Chapter 92

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Romario once again showed his lone wolf style in the penalty area, helping Barcelona take the lead at home and break the deadlock first. This goal completely showed the characteristics of Romario. Lazy running, but quick to strike when the opportunity arises, and after deftly getting rid of it in a small area, he kills with his superb marksmanship in one hit. Cruyff once praised Romario, saying that he only needed one square meter of space to change the whole game.

And this time he can be the first to get the football passed by Haji, but it also depends on the speed and suddenness of his start. No matter who it is, when he doesn't run for a long time, it will always be overwhelming if he starts suddenly. Deportivo La Coruna's defenders have not paid a lot of attention to Romario, but there is no guarantee that anyone can focus on Romario all the time, especially when Romario generally doesn't run much. It has been calculated that Romario runs an average of a dozen rounds a game, and slowly the defenders will always unconsciously neglect to defend him.

However, when the opportunity arises, he will attack you like a lone wolf hiding in the middle of the night. And because of his short stature, low center of gravity, coherent and stealthy movements, and fast start, he can often easily form a break in the crowd and create opportunities to shoot. It's this killer trait that makes Romario a super killer, a lone wolf.

Although he has always known that Romario is powerful, this is the first time that Lao Lei has witnessed Romario's performance at his peak. Although I was on vacation in Brazil, I also played against Romario. But at that time, Romario was no longer as brave as he used to be, in addition to his skills and experience. Speed and power are no longer the same.

"Hmph", looking at the Barcelona players in celebration. A cold snort suddenly sounded in Lao Lei's ears. Turning his head, he saw that it was Stoichkov, who was looking at Lao Lei with smug eyes, full of provocation. Of course, Lao Lei knew his thoughts, and he just wanted to see his frustration after the team conceded the goal. But how could Lao Lei do what he wanted, "Have you ever touched the ball", after saying that, he turned around and walked away, not looking at his face. Lao Lei's meaning is very simple. What are you proud of. Does this goal have anything to do with you?

But to be honest, this goal really has a little credit to Stoichkov, if he hadn't contained Lao Lei, it is estimated that Haji would not have delivered an assist so easily. However, this credit is directly ignored in Lao Lei's eyes, and for the arrogant Stoichkov, it is naturally not that credit for this point. Wouldn't it be an admission that they didn't play a big role, and for people like Stoichkov, they wouldn't justify it and dwell on it. This credit never comes out of their own mouths, and they don't bother to show their own credit.

The game resumes. Lao Lei was a little clueless about the game, and for him who could not participate more in the attack, he could only watch Deportivo attack anxiously from the sidelines. In the period that followed, Deportivo La Coruna did not say that there was no chance of creating a zào. However, the form of the forward line in this game was disappointing. Neither Bebeto nor Radchenko were able to show enough competitiveness to contain Barcelona's defence. Unable to take advantage of his teammates' opportunities in the penalty area. In fact, after entering the second half of the season. Deportivo La Coruna's forward line has been mediocre. Bebeto was also unable to show his good form against Real Madrid and Barcelona with four goals.

Inability to participate in the offense. Lao Lei had to focus more on defense, and this also made Barcelona's next attack in the first half unable to achieve results again. Especially in dealing with Stoichkov, Lao Lei has put a lot of effort into it. All kinds of small movements made Stoichkov's head big, and Lao Lei's running ability was extremely strong, making it basically difficult for him to receive the ball easily. For a while, Stoichkov was made to lose his temper by Lao Lei.

The final first half ended with a score of 1-0, with Barcelona leading at home to Deportivo La Coruna thanks to a goal from Romario. At halftime, Deportivo coach Asseño, seeing that the forward line was weak, finally made a tactical arrangement of more forward attacks in line with Lao Lei's wishes. Although he still can't get enough possession, at least he can legitimately increase the number of times he can get forward, without the danger of being replaced by constant managerial orders.

In fact, this is not a good thing for Lao Lei, which just strengthens his personal combat ability. Lao Lei's best offensive choice in the second half is to break the ball himself, move forward with the ball, and counterattack. This is exactly the ability that Lao Lei needs to exercise the most and can grow quickly at present. In this way, the system did not arrange this holiday copy for no reason, and this time for Lao Lei, it has a strong exercise effect.

After the start of the second half, Deportivo continued to increase the firepower of the attack under the instructions of the manager. At the same time, the frontcourt players in the frontcourt are more violent. However, this kind of fierce attack is often a double-edged sword, which can not only hurt others very badly, but also hurt yourself very badly.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Lao Lei faced Stoichkov, who was attacking with the ball. Predicting the success of the defense, when he was about to sink the left button and pretend to be left, but in fact, the outside of his right foot was flicked to the right, and he was about to accelerate the breakthrough, Lao Lei, who saw through his intentions with the anti-judgment defense, was not moved at all. When he pulled the ball with the outside of his right foot, Lao Lei directly stabbed the ball, easily broke the ball from under his feet, and then accelerated forward with the ball himself.

Facing the pressure of Guardiola, Lao Lei first used a Marseille maneuver to get out of the space, and then relied on his physical advantage to withstand Guardiola's impact from the side, and then accelerated to get rid of the forward. When Lao Lei did the Marseille maneuver, he also caused a burst of exclamation from the fans at the Camp Nou, and at this time this move was still the footwork of Maradona in European football, because he was the first player to bring this action to the Europa League. It is impossible to verify who the inventor of this action is. And Zidane, who invented this action in general, was still in Bordeaux at this time, and did not show his fame in European football. So when the Marseille maneuver borrowed from Zidane's version was used at the feet of Lao Lei, it would cause such a big reaction.

Lao Lei's series of actions were not at all Mauro Silva's usual expression and style of play, so this made Guardiola completely unprepared, and even Deportivo La Coruna's players were stunned. How could they have seen Mauro Silva dribble so brilliantly with the ball? It wasn't until Lao Lei brought the ball to the front of Barcelona's penalty area and approached the big penalty area that Barcelona's defense came back to his senses and came to the front of Lao Lei. Considering the poor form of Bebeto and Radchenko in this match, Lao Lei decided to try it himself this time.

In the face of Nadal, an old acquaintance in the world in 02, Lao Leiqiu made a gesture with his left foot to dunk the ball, and then immediately pulled the football back with his right foot, and then flicked the outside of his left foot and dodged a shot angle. Then, without hesitation, Lao Lei's left foot slammed into the football, and with a dull "bang", the football flew quickly towards the Barcelona goal.

At this time, Barcelona's old goalkeeper Subi showed a world-class save. The body stretched, jumped high, and used his fingers to block Lao Lei's shot flying to the dead corner and flew out of the bottom line. This series once again made the fans of Camp Nou exclaim, but this time it became the fear and happiness of the rest of their lives. Although Lao Lei regretted it in his heart, he didn't care too much, because he felt that he was in good shape now, and the possibility of breaking Barcelona's goal was still very high.

After this attack, Lao Lei's forward insertions became significantly more frequent, and it was obvious that this attack brought Lao Lei a strong self-confidence on the offensive end. In the 63rd minute of the second half, Deportivo La Coruna managed to cut off the ball from his feet after forming a trap on Hadji at the back. After receiving the ball passed to him by Donato, Lao Lei rushed forward with the ball again. This time he didn't choose to break through on his own, but after playing two one-two in a row with Forlan, Forlan led the ball forward.

At this time, Guardiola reappeared, and with accurate prediction, broke the ball from Forlan's feet. At this time, because Lao Lei was still in the front, Deportivo LaCoruna's backfield was relatively empty and a good opportunity to counterattack. Pep Guardiola has once again shown his skills in long passing. This time, without the constraints of the old thunder, Stoichkov finally had the time to receive the ball easily and give full play to his strength. As the best attacking midfielder in recent years, Stoichkov has brought his strength to the fullest this time.

After unloading the ball with your left foot, turn around and dribble the ball forward quickly. In the face of Djukic, who pressed out of the penalty area to defend, Stoichkov flicked his left foot out, then buckled in with his left foot, and then suddenly flicked out with the outside of his left foot, and at the same time, the whole person's body also made a slight swing. These quick feints changed direction, dazzling Djukic and losing his defensive position.

By this time, Stokovic had been given space to shoot. And he also decisively got up and immediately chose to shoot, this time the "golden left foot", once again showed extraordinary left foot skills. The ball made a wonderful inward spin arc in the air and flew towards the top left corner of the Deportivo goal. With a perfect arc combined with power and speed, and this time the shot was very tricky, and despite all his efforts, Songoo was unable to stop the ball from flying into the goal. 2:0, Barcelona extended their advantage in the 64th minute of the second half.

When the Camp Nou was celebrating the goal, Stoichkov first turned around, showed a smug smile at Lao Lei, who had returned to the backfield, and waved his fist vigorously at Lao Lei.

Old Ray thrust his waist and looked at Stoichkov, his head held high, his face expressionless. (To be continued......)
