I Just Can Score

St James' Park Stadium.

In the fourth round of Group C of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Newcastle United's home game against Barcelona was fully prepared. With the cheers of fans around the stands, players from both sides came out of the player tunnel.

The starters trot into the field in two rows.

As the players entered the field, the cheers in the stands also became louder. Among the noisy cheers, there was one tone that was the loudest. Just by listening to it, you could tell that it was the player's name——

"Zhen Shaolong!"

"Zhen Shaolong, come on!"

After the starting players of both sides officially entered the field, they stood in a row facing each other.

The opposite of Zhen Shaolong was Eto'o, he really didn't want to observe the strong man, so he looked around the stands, and then waved at the fans, which immediately aroused even more violent cheers.

The entire stadium was filled with voices supporting Zhen Shaolong.

The Barcelona players couldn't help looking left and right, everyone was lamenting Zhen Shaolong's popularity, "This guy is really popular!"

"Even when Ronaldinho was the most popular, he couldn't compare to him at all, right?"

The support at the Nou Camp is always given to the whole of Barcelona, ​​not to a single player. The popularity of the opponent even surpassed that of Newcastle United. It is incredible to think about it.

Recalling two seasons ago, Ronaldinho was also very popular. In the Nou Camp game, fans could occasionally hear the name of Ronaldinho, but only a small number of fans did that, and most of them still supported him. The entire Barcelona team, after all, has many stars in the team. Ronaldinho's performance is very good, and it is not overwhelming.

Ronaldinho can't do it, and the others are even worse.

Now the most popular star in Barcelona is Messi. Messi is the successor of Ronaldinho. He has been given great expectations by the club and fans, but so far, Messi is only famous and popular. Welcome, the real contribution to Barcelona is not big, and the support is still quite different from that of Ronaldinho.

at this time.

Messi looked around the stands and thought enviously, "When can I be so popular with the fans."

In the support of the fans around the stands,

Players from both sides take their positions.

"Beep~~~"

The referee's whistle announces the official start of the game.

Newcastle United kick off.

Martins passed the ball backwards to Barton, and then ran forward quickly.

opposite.

The Barcelona players stared closely at Zhen Shaolong. Pique, who was told to mark Zhen Shaolong in the backcourt, immediately ran forward, wanting to rush to Zhen Shaolong's side to mark, but he soon discovered something strange, the opponent did not He rushed forward at the first time, but retreated more than ten meters, and ran to the Newcastle United half.

"What is he doing?"

Not to mention that Barcelona couldn't understand it, neither could Newcastle United's teammates. The cameras were all pointing directly at Zhen Shaolong. The teammates didn't know, so they immediately passed the ball over.

Zhen Shaolong received the pass.

When taking advantage of the kick-off, he got the ball in his own half, but the opponent hadn't reacted yet, but Eto'o ran forward and approached, trying to come over and put pressure on Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong took the ball forward without rushing, his speed was very slow, it seemed like he was walking in his back garden.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Eto'o finally couldn't help rushing over, Zhen Shaolong calculated that the time was almost up, and immediately ran forward with the ball, and when he took a step, the effect of "Roar" could be activated.

"Be careful!"

Zhen Shaolong roared.

Eto'o was shocked by the sound, and was a little confused, so he froze for a while.

After Zhen Shaolong activated the skill effect, the football was controlled to the front of his body. He didn't need to pay attention to the football anymore. When he approached Eto'o, he didn't make any feints. He just accelerated and ran to one side, and immediately threw Eto'o behind.

Eto'o slowed down and turned his head, feeling a little depressed, "This guy actually affects me with his voice!"

"I'm still bluffed!"

In fact, Zhen Shaolong's roar had no effect at all, and he relied entirely on his explosive power and speed to pass Eto'o.

Many players who saw Zhen Shaolong dribbling the ball couldn't help sighing, "This guy's ability to handle the ball is really good."

The speed and explosive power of Zhen Shaolong running with the ball seem to be the same as running without the ball, but the football is firmly controlled in front of the body, showing an extremely high level of ball control.

After passing Eto'o, Zhen Shaolong rushed two steps forward and immediately met Messi who was rushing over.

Messi stared at the ball under Zhen Shaolong's feet. He planned to try to steal it, otherwise he would put pressure on the opponent. Zhen Shaolong seemed to be affected. He slowed down a little, and then swung the ball to the left. Side kicked in the past.

He is really kicking hard, but also fake.

The skill effect of "Roar" has not been turned off, and there is still less than a second left. The time is very short, and it is enough to complete the swaying action. He didn't take the initiative to turn off the effect, and the skill also played a role immediately. He seemed to appear If you make a mistake, your feet are not aligned with the ball. If you brush the football past, the football will only roll forward a little bit, and it will still be in front of your body.

Zhen Shaolong's actual force was still hitting the ball, but the system controlled the ball not to roll forward, but his center of gravity still moved a little backward, but no matter how much the center of gravity shifted, it was not as big as Messi in front of him.

Seeing Zhen Shaolong's pass, Messi immediately waved his foot to the left to block the ball. Because he blocked the ball subconsciously in an unexpected situation, he didn't control his center of gravity, and fell to the ground crookedly.

After Zhen Shaolong adjusted his center of gravity, he calmly dribbled the ball past Messi, and then he had no intention of continuing to dribble the ball, so he directly handed the ball to his teammate Milner on the wing.

His series of actions are beyond comprehension.

The Barcelona players all understand this way, "This guy brought the ball for half a day, just to break through Eto'o, or to break through Messi? Messi was indeed shaken."

"Did he make a mistake just now? Who would have thought that he would make a mistake..."

"Is it a deliberate mistake?"

"It's definitely not intentional. Judging by his actions, how is it possible? He almost fell himself."

"But in the end it was Messi who got swayed..."

Messi was really depressed. It was a subconscious reaction to block the ball to one side. Didn't expect the opponent not to kick it?

Is it intentional?

It would be terrible if it was intentional, the opponent's movements were the same as the real ones, no one could see through such realistic fake movements!

"Maybe it's a coincidence?"

This is even more depressing.

Coincidentally, he can be swayed, and the opponent easily dribbles the ball forward, and Messi feels that God is unfriendly.

In fact.

Zhen Shaolong didn't take it seriously at all, he was just experimenting with the idea in his mind, to see if the new skill could perform 'fake moves', just like the effect of "Strike", he couldn't even pass the ball during the process.

The experiment just now proved that "Roar" can also do it. I really didn't plan to pass the ball in advance, but just planned to make fake moves.

This has some effect.

certainly.

Still tasteless.

The condition for the activation of "Roar" is to hold the ball for as long as five seconds. It feels like a dream to want to hold the ball for five seconds in the frontcourt during the game.

He couldn't do it anyway.

Newcastle United's first wave of offensive only hit the vicinity of the penalty area on the right, and was snatched by the opponent's full-back Sylvinho, and then Barcelona launched an offensive.

Barcelona still adopts ball possession tactics. Their style of play has never changed, and they will not change because of opponents. They don't even need to adjust to opponents, because ball possession tactics are both offensive and defensive, and they will always be effective.

Barcelona took advantage of constant possession of the ball to take the initiative on the field and launched consecutive offensives.

Newcastle United's defense is tight.

Compared with the previous game, Newcastle United's defense has been more stable. One is because they have experience against Barcelona and can quickly adapt to the home game.

The second is the work of Kevin Keegan.

Kevin Keegan is an advocate of offensive football, but his success is in Fulham, Manchester City and other teams, and his successful resume is also 'upgrade', 'relegation', etc. The benefits of coaching a small ball are , will know how to arrange intensive defense, and come to compete with top clubs.

The Newcastle United on the field now is to deal with Barcelona's continuous offensive with a small ball and an orderly and dense defense in the backcourt. Their defense is very tight, almost every position is marked, and the opponent occasionally makes a breakthrough. Immediately there will be players to make up defense.

The British commentator couldn't help but praise, "Newcastle's defense in the penalty area is very tight."

"It will give Barcelona a headache..."

This is the case in football games. Poor defense does not necessarily lead to conceding goals, and good defense does not necessarily guarantee goals.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Messi's diagonal pass found Iniesta who rushed into the penalty area, and the latter scored a winning shot to help Barcelona complete the goal.

1 to 0!

Barcelona excitedly celebrate the goal.

"Iniesta, this young player cooperates very well with Messi. He rushed over just in time to catch the ball. No one in Newcastle's backcourt paid attention, and there will be opponents from the wing to keep up..."

"The goal is scored! 1 to 0!"

"In this game, Newcastle is a bit out of play..."

In fact, Iniesta was able to complete the goal, not only because of his personal performance, but also the tacit cooperation of his teammates. There was also a relationship between Newcastle United's defensive mistakes. The player who made the mistake was Jean. He should have taken care of one side, but he paid attention to the middle Eto'o, the other side suddenly missed.

certainly.

The game is not the time to pursue responsibility, and Eto'o's position also needs to be defended, and Jean cannot be completely blamed.

After Barcelona completed the penalty area, morale became even higher.

Their performance is even better.

During the game on the field, the continuous passing of the Barcelona players dazzled the audience and fans. Everyone must admit that Barcelona's skillful coordination, excellent player ability, and superior overall tactics .

Barcelona not only showed confidence in offense, but also in defense.

The performance of Zhen Shaolong in the last game can be said to have left a shadow on Barcelona, ​​but this time Barcelona summed up the experience, the first pick in charge of defending Zhen Shaolong, Pique, is already quite experienced in defense. His approach is, Keep an eye on Zhen Shaolong at all times, it is best to be able to defend close to the opponent to reduce the possible touches of the ball, keep the opponent from kicking at a close distance, and put pressure on the opponent at any time.

This kind of comprehensive defense is very tiring, but it is worthwhile to be able to tell Zhen Shaolong.

Pique's defensive effect is remarkable.

The game went on for more than ten minutes, and Zhen Shaolong didn't show much. He was really depressed by being defended. It was difficult to catch the ball in the frontcourt, and it was difficult to control the pass. The opponent began to ignore fouls, stop him Any possible kicks.

The defense was breached.

Can't attack.

Anyone who watched the game knew that Newcastle United's situation was not good, and the game was very unfavorable to them.

Zhen Shaolong also knew it.

He was worried that the team would be kicked without confidence, and felt that something should be done to increase the confidence of his teammates.

Confidence is important.

Teams with confidence can perform better, on the contrary, if they don't have confidence to play, their performance will be compromised.

So……

"What gives confidence more than scoring goals?"

"never mind!"

"Let's talk about the ball first!"

Zhen Shaolong made a decision and began to constantly look for opportunities. His running was obviously much more active, which also made Pique, who was defending next to him, miserable.

If Pique wants to defend comprehensively, he needs to put in more energy and stamina. He is much more tired than Zhen Shaolong. In just ten minutes, he is already drenched in sweat and needs to stop occasionally to rest.

After Zhen Shaolong increased his running, Pique felt even more tired. His physical fitness could keep up, but his energy couldn't keep up.

In the 19th minute of the game, Newcastle United's offensive hit the wing.

Zhen Shaolong rushed towards the side road.

Pique tried his best to follow behind, but because the start was a bit slow, he was pulled more than three meters. Three meters is a short distance on a football field, but it is enough for Zhen Shaolong to kick.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Zhen Shaolong stood on the left line of the penalty area, glanced at the goal and kicked directly.

"Shoot!" The British commentator shouted directly.

Zhen Shaolong's crosses are too few, as long as he kicks towards the goal, 99% of them are direct shots.

It was indeed a shot.

The shot was a bit far from the goal, and the angle was really small, so Barcelona didn't care too much.

Valdez was standing in front of the door.

He is not panicking.

Valdés judged the football route in the first time, had sufficient preparation time, and jumped at the most suitable time.

Then……

"Crack..."

Valdez felt a sudden chill down below, and his jumping action was immediately affected. He failed to catch the ball accurately, and the football fell from above his fingers, and then flew directly into the goal.

immediately.

The stadium was in shock.

"The ball went in?"

"what happened?"

"Valdes didn't even catch the ball?"

Amid everyone's doubts, after landing, Valdés did not look at the goal behind him, but lowered his head to check his shorts. He opened his legs and found that the crotch had been torn a big hole, and the inside was small. You can see the color of the pants.

"Is it red?"

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
