Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 369: Momentum is building? Slap him to death! Messi's panic (8k)

"Oh!"

Suarez kicked the ball to Iniesta, who turned and passed it back to central defender Pique, who passed the ball to Mascherano on the wing.

If playing three defenders in the first round was Enrique's confident move, then playing three defenders in the second round was Enrique's helpless move.

The team's defender reserves are simply not enough. After Umtiti's suspension, there are no available defenders on the bench.

Mathieu, Pique, Mascherano, this is the strongest defender combination he can arrange.

There is another reason why Barcelona must attack strongly today. They play three defenders, which will help increase the number of people they attack in the frontcourt and enhance their threat.

In front of Barcelona's bench, Enrique breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Leicester City coming up to form a 4-5-1 defensive formation, feeling that his choice was the right one.

The three defenders keep an eye on Chen Yufeng and limit their counterattack points. Occasionally, one of the wing and center defenders can step up to form a double defender.

By doing this, the pressure in the attack will definitely be sufficient.

"The captain's explosive power is very good, are you still worried that he can't kick up in a few steps?" Maguire echoed.

And just when Enrique wanted to see some heaviness and missteps in Ranieri's expression, he suddenly saw that the other party turned his head with a smile and said hello to him.

"What's going on? Is this stupid or just pretending?" He quickly turned around and pretended that nothing happened, but he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

The scene was still very shocking. You can't find any reference to describe such a game.

At this moment, Emperor Li Yi's voice suddenly sounded: "Messi cuts in! This is a good opportunity for Barcelona!"

Enrique has led Barcelona to win many championships, but there are still very few people who believe in his coaching ability, because this team seems to be able to win championships with anyone who leads it.

It is possible that he once performed a one-stop performance against Portugal.

Enrique couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Ranieri. He wanted to thank the latter for his cooperation and observe whether there was any change in Ranieri's expression.

Leicester City is the complete opposite. This grassroots team is playing so well. In addition to paying attention to Chen Yufeng and others who have an extremely inspiring career, people will naturally also pay attention to their coach Ranieri, thinking that this tinkerer What an amazing coach.

As a coach, Ranieri's achievements in the past two years are the envy of everyone.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, commentator Liu Jiayuan kept chattering to arouse the audience's emotions, "We all know that in the Premier League, there are many teams that play pass control."

Enrique thought to himself: "Even the center back will not dare to attack."

Like a concert? Orchestra performance? Or maybe the Colosseum?

At this time, no matter what Chen Yufeng can do to break the situation later, it will have a delaying effect.

If there is no one to support him, Chen Yufeng should not have the ability to break through easily.

"Barcelona!! Barcelona!! Barcelona-!!"

When a high ball comes over, Chen Yufeng can't jump up, stop the ball with his chest, turn around and pass them by and score a goal, right?

Barcelona has someone who can track back and help defend.

In front of Leicester City's bench, Ranieri stood with his hands behind his back, turned around and asked the players on the bench, "Enrique may be laughing at me for playing lone forward. As far as you can see, those three or two people , can you defend Chen Yufeng?"

"Ranieri abandoned his martial arts skills and pursued stability as a lone forward. This is indeed not a wise choice. If Chen Yufeng is paired with a partner, then we will have to send out a defensive midfielder to mark them."

But that is something that can only be met by chance. How can it come every day?

As for Chen Yufeng’s threat...

…………

I was wrong this time. A helpless move turned into a precautionary measure.

This makes Enrique jealous.

The 0-5 defeat in the first round also intensified this contradiction, filling Enrique's heart with dark emotions.

"Yes." Odegaard, a midfielder next to him, also echoed: "You don't even need much space to start, you just need a little bit of speed to break through."

In the magnificent Camp Nou stadium, more than 70,000 Barcelona fans shouted the names of their favorite stars loudly, and their voices made the entire stadium tremble.

"There is no pass, you have to do it alone! Shoot...the ball, oops, the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Kanter! Not even a corner kick was given!"

"Arsenal and Manchester City are representatives of them. They did not take any advantage in their confrontation with Leicester City this season."

Not like!
You can only describe it as the second leg of the 1617 Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona faced the top dark horse Leicester City!
"Barcelona conducted rapid transmission in the frontcourt. They tried to use passing control to break up Leicester City's formation, but Leicester City stood firm and did not give many chances!"

Several people glanced at Enrique over there, with a hint of teasing in their expressions.

It can't be that Chen Yufeng can defeat them all in one go, right?

When the low ball is passed, Pique and Mascherano are not big idiots. They will definitely come forward to restrict you and prevent you from turning around, right?

As a defensive player, Ndidi was the first to speak: "The captain's small-scale dribbling breakthrough has improved again. If he can find a good opportunity to start in the direction of the attack, he will have a high probability of completing the breakthrough against the two people. Three For humans, the probability won’t drop much.”

"Messi!! Messi!! Messi-!! Neymar-!!"

Ranieri was able to win FIFA Coach of the Year last year because of this.

"Anyway, after this game, we will see whether efficiency or ball control is more important in modern football, because Leicester City has no intention of controlling the ball at all!"

Enrique thought carefully about the possibility of three or two defenders marking Chen Yufeng. He deduced a variety of Leicester City's counterattack methods and finally came to a conclusion.

The substitute players looked at each other, and most of them shook their heads.

"We don't know if it's the decline of pass-and-control football or if the players on the team don't implement this tactic well."

The screen turned to a close-up of the scene. Messi stood up straight and covered his face with a little regret.

He stretched out his hands and patted them, encouraging his teammates.

"it's okay no problem!!"

"Good shot! Just play like this, there is hope!"

"Come on Barcelona!"

Most teammates also responded with enthusiastic encouragement, hoping to boost the team's fighting spirit.

Seeing that the home team had such a good opportunity at the beginning, the cheers of the Barcelona fans became louder and there was more emotion in their voices.

With their support, Barcelona played better and better, their offense became more and more powerful, their offense was dazzling, and shots kept coming!
In the sixth minute of the game, Neymar fired a high-quality volley from outside the penalty area. The football grazed Morgan's calf and almost flew into the goal.

In the ninth minute of the game, Barcelona pressed forward with all their players. Messi sent a half-high pass from the wing. Iniesta, who was outflanking in the middle, made a shovel shot and deflected the ball.

This ball was indeed just a little bit close. Judging from the replay, if he had hit it on target, Schmeichel would not have been able to save it.

In the twelfth minute, Messi moved around in front of the penalty area, passing Kante and Drinkwater who were trying to grab him with his feet. Then he got away from Huth and grabbed a fight before Kante could chase back the tackle. Low kick.

The football was saved from the bottom line by Schmeichel with one palm!

"Oh——!!" The Barcelona fans at the scene shouted and regretted. If they could seize two of these opportunities just now, their hope of comeback would be great.

The momentum of Leicester City fans also weakened a bit at this time. They really felt how strong Barcelona, ​​which still has the remaining power of the Dream Three Dynasty, is...

In the last game, they played away from home and handed over Umtiti and a penalty kick in the opening game. Barcelona did not perform as well as it should.

It should be said that it is not even 80%, at most 60 or 70%.

In this game, returning to Camp Nou, with the desire for revenge and reversal, they may be able to perform at 120%.

Looking at it this way, the score of five to zero seems not safe?

"Snapped!"

After Messi missed the opportunity on the court, he slapped the ground angrily, then quickly got up and ran back a few steps, shouting at his teammates: "Come on again! Come on!"

"We will definitely score, there is still a lot of time!"

His eyes were already ignited with blazing fighting spirit and desire to score goals, as if he wanted to eat up Leicester City.

Of course, Leicester City is not without opportunities during this period.

Mahrez once launched a quick counterattack after accidentally intercepting Mascherano who was dribbling the ball.

After attracting Pique's defense, he handed the ball to Chen Yufeng. After the latter passed Mathieu, he then shook off Busquets who came back from the press to complete the shot, almost completing the goal.

This ball initially brought Chen Yufeng's dribbling ability to the court.

A difficult kick was thrown to Enrique. In the end, he maintained his offensive intensity and believed that he could score first.

Or prevent Chen Yufeng?

Enrique felt that Chen Yufeng seemed to be in good condition today. Did he want to kneel down at Camp Nou?
After much deliberation, Enrique chose the former.

This is a whole team!

How can I lose to you alone!
We must score first!
…………

"Beep!!"

In the 23rd minute of the game, Barcelona received a well-positioned free kick.

Kanter received a yellow card for pulling during a defense, and also gave Barcelona a free kick opportunity on the right side of the penalty area.

This is Messi's corridor. In this position, he not only cuts inside and dribbles fiercely, but his free kicks are as accurate as penalty kicks.

Not to mention, Neymar occasionally scores a winning free kick!
When Schmeichel lined up the wall, Messi and Neymar appeared in front of the football. The relationship between the two had deteriorated, but it would not be too obvious before the big game.

"I'll do it." Messi didn't let Neymar run away, he just declared his sovereignty.

"Ah."

Neymar did not compete with Messi. He is indeed not as good as Messi in this position.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded, and Messi immediately started.

All the Barcelona fans stood up immediately and looked towards the spot where Messi took the free throw with bright eyes. Many people even took out their mobile phones because they felt that this ball had a 30% chance of scoring.

"Bang!" Messi took a shot, and the football quickly drew out and headed towards the wall first.

"Bang!" A harsh sound sounded again, and the football came into heavy contact with Morgan's face and bounced away.

It hit the wall and didn't threaten the goal!

"Ah..." Barcelona fans looked disappointed and regretful. They shouted with regret and sat where they were.

Just then, they saw Mahrez appear at the second point of the football.

The thin figure wearing the Blue Fox away jersey looked forward, then turned sideways and volleyed flatly.

He didn't wait for the football to land. Counterattack was a matter of seconds!
A diagonal pass quickly moved towards Barcelona's half. At this time, people could only see Pique and Mascherano chasing the football quickly, with Chen Yufeng behind them.

As for the others, they have just started and are rushing towards the half court here.

Fortunately, the placement of the ball was not very good. The ball was very close to the wing and there was no chance of directly threatening the goal.

Pique and Mascherano breathed a sigh of relief. When they felt that Chen Yufeng next to them quickly overtook the car, they were not surprised or nervous. Instead, they chose a defensive position while observing the situation of their teammates in the middle.

"Boom bang bang..."

Chen Yufeng receives the ball, and his speed is always one of his most useful weapons.

Seeing Pique and Mascherano retreating in front of him, he quickly rushed forward with the ball. There were no fancy moves, but just constant acceleration!
"He is crazy!" Pique shouted in a low voice, staring at Chen Yufeng's feet attentively.

Chen Yufeng could keep accelerating from the front, but he couldn't because he was the one retreating and walking with his back.

But that's fine. During the acceleration process, the football will definitely leave his feet, giving him a chance to steal.

at last!

Pique saw the best opportunity to steal and rushed forward.

At this moment, Chen Yufeng suddenly stepped forward and dunked the football to the left.

Swish!
Pique only felt a gust of wind passing by him, and then realized that he had missed the kick!
It’s a simple snap!
Just clean him up!

"Mascherano... Mathieu!" Enrique, sensing something was wrong, walked to the sideline. If not for the fourth official's loud shout to remind him, he might have walked into the stadium at this moment.

Chen Yufeng has already started to speed up. It is difficult to guard against such a person. Enrique, who often watches Messi's breakthroughs, knows this very well.

But Chen Yufeng doesn’t seem to be able to change direction quickly at high speeds, right? There is no ability to continuously change directions in a small range...

"Snapped!"

"Bang! Bang!" Chen Yufeng immediately glared and used two wonderful snaps to quickly dodge Mascherano and Mathieu who were chasing after him.

Still living a clean life!

The simplest action, the best effect!

"..." Messi in Barcelona's frontcourt was still holding his head in regret just now. After seeing this, his pupils shrank slightly.

Isn't this what he is most proud of? Isn't it something that other people in the world except Maradona, he, Neymar, Hazard and others can do it, but others can't?

How could Chen Yufeng do this?

Lingbo Weibu?

Or tango steps?

I’ll give you two nests!

In a moment of shock, Chen Yufeng had arrived at the center of the penalty area.

There was only Ter Stegen left in front of him, and the shooting angle was not wide. It seemed that he could only choose to push the wicket and try.

Chen Yufeng made a push with his right foot. After seeing Ter Stegen hesitate, he quickly moved the ball to the right, then straightened his instep and whipped the ball to the far corner!

“Bang bang!!”

The two voices connected quickly. Ter Stegen just hesitated when he saw the football flying from his left side, so fast that he could not get off the ground.

"Whoa!" When he looked back, the football had fallen into the side net behind him.

At the first moment, Ter Stegen only knew that it was over, because he saw the expressions of despair on the faces of the fans in the stands at the far end!

"Gudong!" Teshi seemed to be trapped in a world of his own. After swallowing deeply, he fell to the ground.

Then, he heard a burst of jubilant shouts from the north side of the stadium, "Yeah——!!!"

…………

"The goal has been scored! In the 24th minute of the game, Leicester City scored through a counterattack! This is another manifestation of Chen Yufeng's pure personal ability! He continued to dodge and move around, getting past Pique and then passed Maasche. Lano and Mathieu!”

"In the end, after losing Ter Stegen's center of gravity, he hit the ball into the net!"

"One to zero! The total score is six to zero! We have an away goal advantage!"

"It can only be said that Leicester City has increased its probability of qualifying by 20 points!"

"Now, with every minute that passes, they are getting closer and closer to qualifying! Unless Barcelona plays consecutive attacks and scores consecutive goals, it is impossible to come back!"

Liu Jiayuan's excited voice sounded, and he himself had already hugged Li Yi tightly.

After Li Yi escaped from his arms, he smiled and said: "We all know that Chen Yufeng has the habit of sliding and kneeling in new stadiums. Let's see if he will skate and kneel in the Nou Camp. I am still looking forward to this scene!" "

"Hahahaha..." The two laughed together.

Their eyes looked to one side of the stadium, where Chen Yufeng was holding a group of Leicester City players to celebrate together.

"Boom...!!!"

Chen Yufeng compared his hands to two guns and crossed them on his chest. He shouted while accusing his strength and sliding out on his knees.

This time he skated very far, and his eyes were looking towards the sunset above the court. Unlike at the beginning, only the tail of the sunset was left at this time, and the roof of the court blocked most of his brilliance.

But so what, he scored this goal when the sunset was still shining on Camp Nou!
The dream of sliding and kneeling on the stadium!

Another one completed!
This place will always leave his mark, and he will always remember the scene in front of him, as well as the deafening shouts in his ears!
"Why do you shout boom every time? Is there any special meaning?" Mahrez, who assisted, was the first to arrive. Standing in this stadium full of glory, he felt that he had completed another assist and the team left. Mahrez was naturally extremely happy as he made another step forward in the final.

"No, I just feel very comfortable and can vent my emotions!" Chen Yufeng answered truthfully. The two laughed and hugged each other. They will always be the best partners.

What the two of them didn't know was that there were people imitating Chen Yufeng and shouting the same celebrations under the stadium at this moment.

"Boom...!!" Ranieri, an old boy, imitated Chen Yufeng's actions and shot into the sky with his teeth bared.

His whole body was shaking a little, and he was like the four fingers of a pair of guns, unable to close together, but he was having a great time.

Although he was confident, it was only at the moment when he had the away goal that Ranieri felt that the final was so close.

In happiness, Ranieri turned to look at Enrique who had just glanced at him.

There was no emotion on that man's face, but he was probably sad, because on his way back to the bench, he almost tripped with his left foot and slipped on his right foot.

…………

"Oh!"

Suarez gave the ball to Messi with a black face and they restarted the center circle for Barcelona.

Messi turned around stupidly, slowly raised his foot to prepare to pass the ball, then stopped at the previous moment, flicked the ball and passed it to the person on the other side.

Anyone can see their despair.

It only takes a second to go from emotional high to despair.

Messi's heart died when he saw Chen Yufeng use the actions of the person he respected the most to score a goal that killed the suspense of the game.

What else could comfort him?
He didn't think so.

Most people had the same idea as Messi. Barcelona seemed to have no desire in the next attack, and its own players began to delay the time.

It's a huge difference from just now.

The Barcelona fans on the field were instantly dissatisfied, and many began to boo the players to warn them.

More people didn't even bother to boo and started expressing their emotions directly.

"The favorite to compete for the championship every year! Fall before the final every year!"

"With Guardiola gone, won't everyone stop playing football?"

"Enrique is dismissed! He is out of date. He lost the championship last year, and this year he was beaten badly by Leicester City!"

"Do you really have no fighting spirit at all? Why didn't you tell the media earlier, which made us prepare so hard and cheer for you so hard!"

"Can't you change?! When you play against the wind, you play like shit!"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

"..."

Countless people pointed at the stadium to express their dissatisfaction, and the noise instantly penetrated the entire stadium.

The players on the field quickly felt the pressure, of course, only the Barcelona players were under pressure.

The Leicester City players are secretly feeling happy at the moment.

"Score a goal! Score a goal! Don't be confused!" After another weak attack, Iniesta clapped his hands and shouted. He didn't want to see the team like this. .

Even if you lose, you can't lose too badly, you have to score a goal, right?

If you are zero-blocked, you will really be laughed at for the rest of your life.

In fact, they were really close to scoring just now, but Chen Yufeng's goal broke their offensive rhythm and desire to score, making them look so depressed.

After Xiaobai shouted, the situation has not improved yet.

Enrique waited for a while, and finally had to use substitutions to establish his authority and change the situation. He first replaced Roberto with the younger Rafinha, and then shouted a few words to the offensive line to signal. If they don't want to play anymore, they can come down and rest at any time.

Mainly for Messi.

If Messi is the one who provides negative emotions, then the entire team will basically be ruined.

After the departure of the old captain Puyol, there has been no one in this team who can serve as the captain. It is not that there is no captain, but it is that he cannot drive the spirit of the team.

…………

"In the 43rd minute of the game, Barcelona got a corner kick."

Liu Jiayuan observed very carefully and commented: "The situation seems to have improved during this period. Rafinha played more actively after coming up, gradually changing the mood of the teammates around him."

"This is of course what we want to see. No matter what, as a veteran giant and a super giant that has won the Champions League five times, Barcelona's players should not give up. They should persist in the game and show the team's competitiveness. Spirit!"

"Let's take a look at this corner kick opportunity!"

"Morgan's header clearance! Barcelona caused no danger! Iniesta and Kante appeared at the second penalty spot in football!"

On the court, the second penalty kick once again became the target of contention between players from both sides. Everyone knows what winning this goal means to their own team.

Kanter and Iniesta rushed towards the football together. Taking advantage of his physical advantage, Kanter protected his position first and knocked Iniesta aside.

The latter instantly lost his center of gravity, and Kanter firmly gained dominance over the ball!

Behind him is Rafinha, who just came on the field and played very actively.

Being positive is a good thing.

But being aggressive on defense is definitely a bad thing.

When Rafinha came up, he wanted to use his body to knock Kanter down, or push him to commit a tactical foul. Unexpectedly, Kanter, as a defensive player, had already expected it, and turned around to get rid of the ball in advance.

Kanter also has a streak of passing people!

Leicester City had a lot of fun today.

The scene suddenly became clear.

After roughly assessing the situation, Kanter saw that Pique and Mascherano were marking Chen Yufeng.

Of course he can pass the ball with one kick and let Chen Yufeng perform and try.

But he wanted to do more!
"Move!! Move!!" Kanter signaled Chen Yufeng to run forward quickly, while taking long strides to hit the ball, trying to throw away everyone around him.

It just so happens that Busquets and Iniesta are not players known for their speed, and Rafinha can't outrun him.

Kanter's plan was implemented very successfully. He forcibly overtook these people. When he came to the front of the penalty area, he attracted Mascherano's defense and knocked the ball to Chen Yufeng.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yufeng had already formed a one-on-one relationship with Pique!

As long as he passes everyone and hits the goal within two seconds, the defensive players behind him will not be able to catch up!
"Kante, I love you so much!" Chen Yufeng shouted, and after taking the ball, he quickly pounced on Pique.

He has the ability to defeat several people, but even if Maradona stands here and keeps trying to defeat multiple people, the success rate will not be too high, right?
This is just a killing move, not a magazine that can be loaded with bullets and then eject bullets at will.

One-on-one is what Chen Yufeng likes best.

Whether it's a fancy Luo breakthrough, Ronaldo's pendulum, or Maradona's Lingbo micro step, you can use it!

Can even be combined!
Chen Yufeng rode his bicycle and approached Pique. Pique, who is known as the one who can see through things, is not an ordinary person.

Otherwise, he would not be the core of Barcelona's defense. At this time, he is in his prime and his defensive ability is at its peak.

But defending Chen Yufeng, he really has no confidence...

Pique accidentally recalled the scene of Ramos being taught a lesson by Ronaldinho when he was young. He felt that he now resembled the Shui Ye at that time.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

Chen Yufeng's change of direction came. He dunked the ball to the left, then made an ox-tail technical move, followed up with his body and flicked the ball to the right.

Just these few times, Pique was already a little overwhelmed.

Under the excited voices of commentators from various countries, Chen Yufeng accurately caught the moment when Pique spread his legs and moved the ball towards Pique's crotch!

After completing this step, Chen Yufeng stepped over Pique without any doubt, looking confident.

This is actually no different from celebrating in advance...

It was even more intense because it hit Pique in the face.

The key thing is that the football really passed through Pique's legs and was firmly controlled by Chen Yufeng who penetrated forward.

"Bang!!" Chen Yufeng hit a powerful and heavy instep volley towards the far corner of the goal. The football once again passed Te Shi's hand and flew into the net!

Two to zero!
Chen Yufeng scored twice! !
There is a reason for a lone striker!
Beyond greater pressure, there are greater opportunities!

Chen Yufeng is about to score his own hat trick at Camp Nou!
