Chapter 021: Sneak attack and retreat from Kiev

During their one year in Milan, Zhuoyang and Shevchenko had no close relationship, just a mutually respectful relationship as colleagues. But when they reunited at Camp Nou today, they were like long-lost brothers, hugging each other and being extremely affectionate.

"Happy birthday, Sheva." Zhuoyang said: "According to the habits of us Chinese, I wish you happiness every year and happiness every year."

Today coincides with Shevchenko's 33rd birthday, and 24-year-old Zhuo Yang sincerely sent his blessings. Time has passed, and the two top scorers ranked second and third in AC Milan's history met in other arenas wearing other jerseys. The feeling that things are different and people are different makes them sympathize with each other.

"Thank you, Zhuoyang. I also wish you all the best in Barcelona."

Camp Nou has memories of Dynamo Kyiv and Shevchenko, and they have deep memories. On November 5, 1997, in the Champions League group stage of the 1997-98 season, Dynamo Kyiv made a big event on this venue. They slaughtered Barcelona 4:0, and the then 21-year-old nuclear warhead Shev Cenko completed his hat trick in the first half.

That day was the battle that made Shevchenko famous in Europe, and it was also the most painful memory for Barcelona, ​​the La Liga champion that year. On that bloody night, the 27-year-old Guardiola was the captain of Barcelona, ​​and the 19-year-old Puyol was still a young player of the B team. He was temporarily transferred and sat on the bench with a pale face as he watched the Ukrainians wreak havoc.

Zhuoyang is an acquaintance in this team, not the former Asian king Shatskikh. He was completely marginalized in Kiev last season and has quietly returned to the Uzbek domestic league this season.

Kiev head coach Valery Gazaev coached CSKA Moscow in the 2004-05 season, and played an inseparable match with Zhuo Yang's Madiburg in the UEFA Cup semi-finals that year. In the two home and away rounds, Madibao finally took the lead thanks to the bravery of Egyptian Hassan Mido and Gomez, while Zhuoyang was severely restricted.

Zhuo Yang still considers CSKA Moscow that year to be one of the most difficult opponents in his seven-year career. Is Mr. Gazaev, who has changed his career now, an ordinary person?

Barcelona seems to be quite afraid of Eastern European teams. In the Champions League group stage last season, they lost at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, the subsequent UEFA Cup champions. This year's group stage situation, Group F clearly shows the battle between Barcelona and Inter Milan, and Kiev is the only team that can pose a threat to the two powers.

Combining these factors, Barcelona is facing a formidable enemy today and attaches no less importance to Kiev than Inter Milan. The Dutch referee Kupes blew the whistle, and the game started with Barcelona waiting in anticipation.

.

22-year-old Roman Yeremenko is also an 'acquaintance' of Zhuo Yang, but Zhuo Yang doesn't know him or doesn't remember him, but Yeremenko is very impressed by Zhuo Yang. Yeremenko is a Finnish product of Udinese's youth training. He played for Siena and Udinese in Serie A in the 2006-08 seasons. He is a pretty good midfielder and wide rookie. How could people who had made a living from Serie A in those two years forget Zhuo Yang's face.

After arriving at Dynamo Kiev in the summer of 2008, Yeremenko was transformed into a right back with both offense and defense. During the team's tactical preparation meeting a few days ago, head coach Gazzaev asked him: What restrictions should be placed on Barcelona's left winger Zhuoyang?

It is impossible to prevent Zhuoyang from dying, even in this life. As long as he can limit it as much as possible, he will have done a great job.

Yeremenko responded decisively: Foul! Tactical foul at the first opportunity.

Hearing this, both Gazaev and Shevchenko looked approvingly: Children can be taught...

After Messi and Ibrahimovic kicked off the ball, they saw Zhuoyang rushing forward with his head pressed against the sideline. Messi changed his mind and stabbed back, bypassing Milevski, and simply kicked the football far away to Zhuoyang, allowing He went to test the water first.

As a result, everyone in Kiev opened their eyes and watched Yereomenko fighting and retreating, planning to use any foul method to stop Zhuoyang.

Shevchenko said in his heart: Hold on and don’t let go.

Zhuoyang invited the imperial concubine to give him a toast and pushed Yeremenko aside.

He continued to test the waters with a brisk pace.

Gazaev thought to himself: Kick him over!

Zhuoyang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Before Yeremenko caught up with him, he cut inside and slid into the middle. Not only did Yeremenko fall into despair, but also Almeida, who came in hastily to defend. The sudden braking caused pain in the lumbar spine.

Shofkovsky, who faced three consecutive saves from Switzerland in the 2006 World Cup penalty shootout, said to himself: shovel!

Zhuoyang took a step in the penalty area and shot low. The football was like a snake swimming in the grass, and a wisp of smoke rushed in from the blind corner of the goal.

Shovkovsky, who stood there motionless, thought to himself: In...in? Grandma and grandson are entering now?

Shevchenko and Gazaev both looked at Yeremenko who was at a loss: where is the agreed foul?

Yeremenko thought to himself: Ten seconds...a foul? I thought about it, but it was only ten fucking seconds.

In the first 11 seconds of the game, Zhuo Yang succeeded in a generous sneak attack and Barcelona led 1:0. Shevchenko, Gazaev and Yeremenko all understood wrongly. The most important thing in defending Zhuo Yang is not to commit a foul at the first moment, but to concentrate all his attention from the first second.

.

Taking the lead at the beginning is equivalent to starting the game with the attribute of 1:0. Dynamo Kiev is in trouble. What they are best at is using their body and speed to counterattack under a solid defense. When they are behind, Kiev has no good solution.

Although Barcelona keeps talking about offensive football, in fact Barcelona is probably the team in Europe that is best at defensive counterattacks and leading the ball. However, Barcelona's defense is reflected by active possession of the ball, not the traditional retreat.

Next, Barcelona began to play the "walking monkey" style of play that was pleasing to the eye and refreshing, and turned the game into a ten-on-ten lap game. In just one half, the Dynamo Kiev team ran four kilometers more than Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona controlled the ball for 72% of the time.

On one side, people are running, and on the other side, the ball is running. When it comes to bullying, no one at Barcelona is convinced.

In this way, the overall situation of this game is actually decided after 11 seconds. There is no suspense. It just depends on whether the Barcelona people have a bodhisattva heart.

In the 26th minute, after Barcelona passed the ball 22 times in a row, Zhuoyang made a pass from the right rib. Messi cut in from the right side of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot 13 meters away from the goal. The football was knocked to the ground by Shofkovsky with one hand. After a moment, it still came in from a close corner, 2:0.

The scene remained unchanged in the second half. The tall Ukrainians were nearly vomited blood by a group of Spanish 'little guys'. After Busquets replaced Toure in the 74th minute, he made great achievements when he came on. He intercepted the ball from Vukojevic and launched a fast break. Xavi - Zhuo Yang - Messi - Ibrahimovic, the four people who were less than ten meters apart almost all stood still and kicked the ball, and they could hear bang bang bang.

The last pass was by Iniesta, who passed the football into the goal. It was 3:0, everyone was beaming with joy, then Zhuoyang and Messi were politely replaced, and Pedro and Heffron came up next.

Before the game, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, but the victory was an understatement. The Barcelona people felt that they had been afraid of ropes for ten years.

3:0 was the final score. The final whistle went behind, and Shevchenko, whose lungs were burning like needles, looked at Zhuoyang who was laughing and playing with Pique, and said to his heart: Is this day every year? If today is the same every year, how can we live like this?
