Chapter 107: Fierce Attack

Ronaldinho's shot on goal, like a switch, completely kicked off the offensive climax of the game. At Camp Nou, Mourinho did not let Chelsea "retract" to play defensive counter-attacks, as Barcelona fans sarcastically did, but instead laid out a bold attacking tactic. With Lao Lei in control, Mourinho is confident that Chelsea will not fall too far behind. Although Chelsea are slightly inferior to Barcelona in terms of their ability to create chances and threats, Mourinho feels that it is still worth it in order to suppress Barcelona's attacking momentum and prevent the opponent from going crazy at home.

Coupled with Chelsea's superiority over Barcelona's defence, Mourinho doesn't feel his own side have any less chance of winning than Barcelona on this pitch. And the rest of the game is basically in line with Mourinho's conjecture, although Barcelona is slightly stronger in terms of offensive momentum, but in general, the two sides are still evenly matched. The scene immediately rose to an anxious Cheng dù, the two sides were back and forth, not giving in to each other, fighting against each other, and the wonderful shots that kept appearing made everyone watching the battle excited and attracted all their energy.

In the eighth minute of the first half, at the edge of the Chelsea penalty area, Lao Lei once again faced Ronaldinho, who cut inside with the ball. Just as Ronaldinho continued to dribble the ball down the middle, he suddenly toe and passed the ball to the left side that was out of his sight. The same kick as Lao Lei who doesn't look at people to pass the ball is to catch Lao Lei off guard. Although he reacted quickly and stretched out his foot to block, after all, he was born a defender on the weak side, and he was a step slower in time after all. The ball slashed across his toes and flew to the left side of the penalty area. There, Eto'o, the African cheetah, was already in full swing there.

Today, he is also very serious. He is also a well-known shooter in Africa. Samuel Eto'o was in the mood to compete with Didier Drogba, who had risen to fame in England. He also lived up to the name of the cheetah, and was in front of the ball in the blink of an eye. Then, without adjustment, you have to come with a half-turned volley. But if Chelsea's defence could have broken down so easily, Chelsea would not have conceded just eight goals in the Premier League so far this season. At the heart of the defence, John Terry was there just in time for him to be where he should have been, with his arms behind his back to keep Samuel Eto'o out of the net.

Then, the football happened to fall at the feet of Lao Lei, and Chelsea's counterattack began immediately. Half turned around and dunked, even the ball with people, and Lao Lei shook behind Ronaldinho, who was robbed. Directly start to accelerate and dribble forward. Although, in this game, Chelsea are playing positional battles, they will not forget their sharpest weapon, the quick counter-attack. Especially against a technical team on the ground like Barcelona who are afraid of high-altitude balls, counter-attacking and high-altitude balls are the best killer tool.

After advancing some distance, without waiting for Deco to pounce on and block, Lao Lei made a long pass with a big foot and gave the football to the feet of Duff, who had already started at high speed on the left side. However. He himself did not stop, continued to plug in at high speed, ready to answer in the middle at any time. After winning the ball, Duff used the speed he was proud of to pass the aging Albertini. Straight to Barcelona at left wing-back Van Bronckhorst. Before the Barcelona fans had time to sigh at the great goal opportunity they had just missed, they were worried about their own door again. Chelsea's counter-attacking prowess has long been known in Europe this season, and Barcelona fans smell danger.

Then. Near the bottom line, no adjustment is made. It was just a cross. At this time, Drogba, who was in the penalty area, used his body to his advantage. It was brought into full play. He almost pressed Barcelona captain Puyol to grab the first landing point, but unfortunately his body posture at this time was deformed under the interference of Puyol, and he couldn't shake his head to attack the goal with all his strength. This also led to his attack on goal, which was narrowly saved by Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdés, and also missed a great chance to score.

However, Chelsea's counter-attacks are known for being layered and continuous. This time it was the same, after Drogba's wave, there was also a wave of counterattacks that followed. The football, which was hastily cleared out of the penalty area by the Barcelona central defender, did not fly far and was grabbed by Joe Cole outside the penalty area for the second spot. Facing Xavi who came back from defense, Joe Cole stepped on the football with his left foot and pulled it, and then knocked it. In a fancy way of football, it is to hand the football to the side of the fast plug-in in front of the old ray.

At this time, Albertini also tried his best to return to the defense. Facing him, Lao Lei, who ran towards the football, directly stretched out his foot without adjustment to jump the football and flew over his head. Then, he also accelerated to bypass the opponent's side, wanting to pick the ball directly. However, Albertini is Albertini after all, and although he is not a player known for his defense and is already 34 years old, his experience is really old.

At the moment when Lao Lei picked up the ball, he turned his body in front of Lao Lei, even if he couldn't stop Lao Lei, it also put Lao Lei in an awkward state where he couldn't stop the ball comfortably. However, Lao Lei was also improvised, responded quickly, and started the first wonderful performance of the game on the offensive end. Just when the Barcelona fans were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they raised their hearts to their throats again.

I saw him make a fierce force, slightly pushed Albertini away, and then stretched out his long legs, faced the falling football, and picked it up again, picking the football back behind him. This time, Albertini had to stagnate, and he forcibly reversed his center of gravity very reluctantly, and was about to turn back. However, this is exactly what Lao Lei wants him to do, and since he understands Albertini's old ways, Lao Lei will naturally pay more attention.

As soon as Albertini was about to turn around, Old Ray showed no sign of turning back. Just turned his head back a little and looked at where the ball had fallen. Then he lifted the corners of his mouth straight back, and knocked the ball back to the front with his back heel like a shuttlecock. At this time, Albertini really had no choice, at his age, he could no longer force his center of gravity to change again in a short period of time.

Facing the football that fell back in front of him, Lao Lei raised his right thigh, stopped slightly, and then pulled out his foot to shoot angrily. Because, just now, Barcelona's back line thought that Albertini had followed Lao Lei, at least he couldn't shoot immediately. Therefore, in this way, they want to come up and block it at this time, which is already a step slow. Seeing that Lao Lei was about to shoot, the figure of a Barcelona player quickly slid over.

Desperately chasing him back, he completely threw his body to the ground, so that he could arrive before Lao Lei shot the goal. Albertini's block bought time for Deco's sliding tackle, and Deco stabbed the ball away with his own toe before Ray's right foot reached the ball. Then, the frightened Van Bronthorst did not give Duff a chance to counterattack, and directly kicked the football out of the sideline.

Old Ray looked at Deco lying under his feet, and saw his eyes full of battle fire staring at him, which were eyes that wanted to prove himself. "It's all those bastard media that's too much to do! Get me in trouble! Secretly saying in his heart, Old Ray leaned down and pulled Deco up. Deco didn't say anything, his eyes already represented a qiē. Looking at him again, Lao Lei touched the back of his head with a little headache, but a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It's so interesting, this game!"

At this time, everyone watching the battle had time to calm their violently beating hearts and breathe a sigh of relief. The series of tense, exciting, high-speed, and wonderful offensive and defensive dialogues just now gave them no time to breathe. "It's wonderful! In just a few minutes, there was hardly any quiet time on the field. The fierce attack and defense between the two sides is simply incomparable! I regret it, at this time, how can I come back to explain the game?! I should have grabbed a beer and enjoyed the game to the fullest! The 10-minute or so match fully met all our pre-match expectations. At this time, I already smell the classics!! ”

Taking advantage of the rare gap, the commentators also took a breath, drank saliva, and adjusted. However, there are also narrators who are born with a developed saliva system, and they don't stop sighing. However, regardless of them, the game on the field will go on. Both sides seem to have become Mustang who can't stop the car, and no one wants to slow down and admit defeat first, so they maintain the offensive rhythm just now, giving fans the feeling that they are watching a Premier League game.

Jose Mourinho likes to see such a scene, and Chelsea are undoubtedly better suited to play at such a tempo. Rijkaard, in turn, was naturally worried and dissatisfied. Because this rhythm is not Barcelona's favorite rhythm. The essence of Barcelona football culture is that even if I can't score, I have to control the rhythm and the ball, let you run with my rhythm, consume your body, and then I will wait for the opportunity to beat you.

But at this pace, it would be a thousand suicides for Barcelona and eight hundred losses to the enemy. Because compared to Chelsea, it is obvious that Barcelona's players are weaker than the inferior. This only needs to be compared with the physique of the players on the field, if Chelsea is a bandit physique, then Barcelona is just a weak scholar's physique. And if the game goes on at such a pace, it will definitely evolve into such a good show in the end, Xiucai encounters bandits, and is both robbed and lost.

But now the pace of the game, which Rijkaard can slow down if he wants to. After all, the game is played by the players, and when the players on the field have entered the state and rhythm, the manager's orders are at most outside for the players, and the military orders are not subject to them. This will continue until the end of the game, such as when the deadlock is broken, for example, when both players need a temporary physical break. Until then, the game can only continue like this.

The game has come to the 16th minute of the first half, and the score is still 0:0.

But the turning point of the game has come. (To be continued......)
