CHAPTER 16: RHODES GOAL!
Deegan was about to play, and just after he was still lamenting Camuro's goal, the angry Barcelona fans burst into cheers, as if they were welcoming their king.
He high-fived a disappointed Bojan and patted the young man on the back before Deegan ran onto the pitch in what was his first game for Barcelona.
'Deegan came on and fifteen minutes into the second half, Pep Guardiola made the first substitution of the game and he brought on Degan.
Degan's expression looked very relaxed, and when he passed by Kaka's side, he even smiled and said, "Ricardo!" I'm coming! ”
Kaka also smiled: "It's a little late, but there's still time!" ”
Deegan replied, "That's enough time! ”
The game restarted, looking at Messi in front of him, although Degan had fantasized about such a picture before, but looking at Messi with a gloomy face, he still felt a little funny, he knew that this Argentine dwarf regarded him as the most important rival in his life, but in Degan's heart, he never thought so, his opponent will always be only one, that is himself, his challenge is not to defeat anyone, but to constantly break through his own limits.
If there is anyone other than Deegan himself who can be called an opponent, that person can only be his brother Kaka!
The referee's whistle sounded, Digan kicked the ball to Messi, and then ran directly to Real Madrid's half, when Messi received the ball, his mood was very complicated, and he couldn't help but feel jealous when he thought of the cheers that just filled the sky over Camp Nou, those cheers originally belonged to him alone, but now he had to share them with another person, and that person was still the one he hated the most.
The football continues to pass skillfully at the feet of the Barcelona players, and at this time Digan seems to be out of the tactical situation, passing and controlling the play, of course he is fine, but now Barcelona need to equalize as soon as possible.
"Pass!"
Degan shouted, Xavi, who had just received the ball, was stunned, but still passed the ball out at the first time, he rubbed an overhead ball, and suddenly changed the way of passing, making Real Madrid's defenders look a little uncomfortable.
After Pepe came on the court, he immediately switched himself to attack mode, and immediately posted it, and his mouth was not idle: "Boy! Get ready for my revenge! ”
Degan didn't speak, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the little character, he saw the incoming ball, chose a good position, didn't jump, directly parked the ball with his chest, and wiped it to the right side of his body, in the process of the football falling, he leaned on Pepe and turned around, without waiting for the football to land, he directly volleyed.
"Shot ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Casillas's reaction was very fast, and he made the right judgment at the first time, of course, Digan's kick was also a little right, although it was very sudden, but he was still held in Casillas's arms.
"Ahh Pity! Degan's shot was very exciting, with his back to the goal, and Pepe behind him, he turned around and shot directly, although the ball failed to score, but this attack, played very exciting! ”
Deegan also felt a little sorry when he saw that the ball didn't go in, squinted at Pepe, then turned and ran back. What he still has is time for Casillas to know why he is the new generation of world champions.
Just before the game, Casillas said in an interview that he would not let Degan get any chance in this game, and he would complete the clean sheet against Degan.
What Digan has to do in this game is to make Casillas completely understand that he can't do anything!
He was going to throw this god-level taunt directly at Casilla's face.
"Calm down, if you're like this, you won't be able to win against Rhodes for the rest of your life!"
Pepe turned his head and saw that it was Kaka who walked to him, because of the relationship between Degan, the relationship between Pepe and Kaka was also very tense, he didn't expect that at this time, Kaka would take the initiative to relieve him.
However~~~~~~ Shaolin monks don't appreciate it!
"Don't worry about it, let your brother be careful!"
Kaka's face was cold, although he was an opponent, Kaka would not watch anyone hurt his brother.
The game continued, Casillas drove the ball directly to the midfield, and Digan, who was still in front of the Real Madrid penalty area just now, suddenly appeared in the midfield, in the process of running at high speed, and looked back from time to time to observe the landing point of the football, and then jumped high, completed the turn in the air, and grabbed Xavi. Alonso stopped the ball before that, and when he landed, he quickly dribbled forward.
'Degan came on and was very positive, and after the shot he quickly returned to midfield, intercepted Real Madrid's long ball and then immediately launched a counter-attack.
Speed has always been Degan's sharpest weapon, and when he rushes forward at high speed, there is no way for his opponent to stop him except for fouling.
Once Degan's speed was fully raised, the whole stadium was completely under his control, his pace was very fast, even in the process of rushing forward at high speed, he always kept the ball under his control, and Real Madrid's defenders who pounced on him couldn't find a chance to break the ball with their feet.
In the blink of an eye, Degan was already in his range of attack, and the Real Madrid defender realized the danger and hurried up, but at this time, Degan passed the ball and shot at goal, and after attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, he passed the ball to the open position on the left, where Iniesta had already rushed over.
After the pass, Digan continued to press forward, a few steps into the Real Madrid penalty area, when he stepped into the penalty area with one foot, Iniesta's pass also arrived, Digan with the inside of his right foot, lightly knocked on the ball, and then jumped forward, dodged Pepe's black foot, and then took a step forward, caught up with the football, the outside of his right foot, held the ball horizontally, shook off Ramos in front of him, adjusted the pace, and directly volleyed with his right foot.
Casillas made a timely save, but Degan's shot was too powerful, and the ball was so fast that it went straight into the net from under Casillas' armpit.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”
The familiar roar, echoing over the Camp Nou for the first time, saw Barcelona score, and the fans jumped from their seats at the first time, hugged each other, cheered, and shouted Degan's name.
"Deegan scored, and after coming on the pitch, in three minutes, Deegan scored his first goal since joining Barcelona, great, great! From the broken ball counterattack, after only one pass, Degan completed the goal, Barcelona equalized, the goal was scored by the world champion Degan, Madrid clowns, are you shaking? ”
After the goal, Deegan also looked very excited, opened his arms, roared and rushed to the sidelines, celebrating with the fans, behind him, Puyol, Pedro and others also pounced and celebrated with Degan.
And in this attack, Messi, who has made no contributions, seems a little lost, because he has always played the role of this savior in the past!
Guardiola quickly calmed down after being excited, although Degan's goal was beautiful, and he was happy to have equalized, but the problem is that Degan's attacking method is not at all Tiki-TAKA, which Barcelona regards as a top martial arts secret, to put it bluntly, this is a show of individual heroism, and it has nothing to do with the tactics that Barcelona has always implemented.
"Don't think about it so much, the equaliser is the most important thing, I can feel that Digan is a very smart player, and it is not something that can be done overnight when he integrates into Barcelona's tactics, I believe he can do it well!"
Pep Guardiola's assistant coach Vilanova persuaded him, as Guardiola's assistant and friend, he knows Guardiola's thoughts best.
Pep Guardiola nodded and returned to the game.
Pep Guardiola is still unhappy that the goal was not a tactical one, while Mourinho on the other side is lamenting why Digan did not choose Real Madrid.
With Digan, Mourinho believes he will soon dominate European football and put his name on the list of Real Madrid's greatest managers.
Damn it! Why not Real Madrid!
On the field, after equalizing the score, Barcelona gradually overwhelmed Real Madrid in momentum, under the instigation of Digan, Barcelona then completed several shots in a row in just a few minutes, but unfortunately the luck was a little worse, plus Casillas is in his prime, it is not easy to knock his ten fingers.
However, through the ten minutes on the field, Degan's role in Barcelona on the offensive side has been completely highlighted, although it still seems that it has not been fully integrated into Barcelona's overall tactics, but it seems that Degan, a special component that is free from the whole, plays a very obvious role, and it can even be said to enrich Barcelona's offensive routine.
In the 73rd minute of the second half, Degan's individual heroism returned, after receiving a pass from Mascherano, he made a wall-hitting combination with Pedro, and then dribbled directly into the penalty area, facing the onrushing Casillas, and slotted home from a tight angle.
2:1!
Digan, who came off the bench, used two standard "Rhodes GOAL" to help Barcelona overtake the score in the second half.
