Midfielder

The duel between Lin Yi and Ronaldinho began silently, and from Lin Yi's quick counterattack, Chelsea gradually got rid of the embarrassing situation of being continuously suppressed by Barcelona.

It was as if Lin Yi's attack was the horn of Chelsea's counterattack, igniting the courage of the Blues to attack.

Especially in the frontcourt, the Blues beasts who were suppressed just now began to burst out their fierce breath. Under the crazy counterattack of Barcelona, ​​they also began to fight against the opponent with more fierce bodies.

When Chelsea pressed the line to the midfield, their two fast knives on the wing also became restless. Robben and Duff had been holding back for a long time. Finally, they had a little breathing space. They didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The most important thing is that the two full-backs of Barcelona began to consciously reduce the pressure assists. There was no way. Rijkaard didn't want his defense line to be so easily penetrated by the opponent. After Lin Yi's amazing attack, the assists of Belletti and Van Bronckhorst gradually converged.

Rijkaard also knew that the two full-backs of his team were strong in attack but weak in defense. Their frontal defense and positioning were mostly based on suppressing the opponent, rather than taking down the opponent's wingers in a one-on-one situation.

Just now, Lin Yi's pass to Robben after shaking off Belletti had reminded Rijkaard that the gap on the side was very dangerous. If he was not careful, Chelsea might tear open an offensive corridor from here.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Rijkaard loudly reminded his two full-backs that they must always pay attention to the opponent's assault on the side, especially not to leave the opponent space for a forced breakthrough, and not to let Chelsea find an offensive breakthrough from the two sides. He even considered giving up letting the full-backs press on to assist.

This is not because Rijkaard is timid, but because Robben's cross just now was really scary, just like Lin Yi himself thought, if it was not a cross just now, but a more threatening cut-in, then it might not be as simple as creating a threat, and it is very likely that Chelsea would have scored.

It is better to give up some of the benefits of the full-back assists and protect the side from being used by the opponent.

Rijkaard wanted to stabilize his defense in the attack, but his arrangement also weakened some of the offensive layers. The Barcelona team, which was like a tide just now, began to become calm.

Although the offensive threat in the front court continued, it lacked this continuous feeling, and it always felt that something was missing. Even Cruyff, who was sitting in the commentary seat, said, "After the two full-backs of Barcelona began to reduce the number of assists, the team's offense began to become less coherent, which is a troublesome thing."

Even the old boss of the Barcelona Dream Team said so. It can be seen that after fifteen minutes of crazy attack, the madness of the Catalans is gradually weakening, and this is because of the threat brought by Lin Yi.

Cruyff also said during the hosting process, "The young man from Chelsea has really good personal ability and a good grasp of the situation on the field. The most important thing is that he is only 17 years old and is still improving. If he can come to Barcelona to play, I think he will definitely create the strongest offensive line for us."

This old guy is really shady. Not only is he good at judging people, but he is also thinking about poaching people from Chelsea at this moment.

But Cruyff still forgot something. Barcelona doesn't have so much money now. Barcelona, ​​which is a membership system, doesn't have a wealthy Russian boss. Want to buy Lin Yi? Even Florentino is not sure.

The kid's value now will definitely not be lower than when Real Madrid entered Zidane. This transfer fee is not something Barcelona can afford. Even if Real Madrid wants to buy him, it will probably be a pain in the ass.

In the few minutes when the Dutch old man was fantasizing about Lin Yi joining, Chelsea has gradually gained a foothold on the field.

This may be the first time since the opening that Chelsea can calmly control the ball and organize in the midfield. I don't know if Mourinho has ever seen Chairman Mao's guerrilla tactics. Anyway, when Belletti and Van Brongthorst retreated, Robben and Duff immediately pressed forward boldly under Mourinho's instructions.

These two wild horses that have broken free from the reins were already very depressed by the first ten minutes of the game. Now they have finally turned over. How can they not run wild? It is estimated that no one can stop the breakthrough of these two speed-type crazy people.

Once Chelsea's wing is active, no matter which team is dealing with it, they will feel the pressure on defense.

Especially compared with the midfield full of talented players, Barcelona's defense is indeed much inferior.

Barcelona's defense is the best defense in La Liga this season. In 27 league games, they only lost 18 goals, with an average of only 0.66 goals per game. This efficiency really looks beautiful.

But it only looks good. In the Champions League, Barcelona's number of goals conceded is obviously much higher.

It can only be said that Barcelona's defense has never encountered a real test in the La Liga. Except for Real Madrid, which can slightly threaten Barcelona's goal, no one can really compete with them.

Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna are now extremely weak in the La Liga and cannot cause any trouble to Barcelona, ​​but even so, Barcelona's number of goals conceded is still far behind Chelsea.

So far, Chelsea has conceded no more than ten goals in the league, and even fewer goals in the Champions League. Some people have even said that Chelsea will occupy at least two or three places in the back line in this season's European best team, because their defense line really makes many people melancholy.

Even Arsenal and Manchester United have no way to defend, which is considered a steel defense line, and Barcelona is still far from it.

Sometimes, these superficial data can still be deceiving. Barcelona's number of goals conceded in the league has created a false impression for the Catalans. They have always believed that there is no problem with their defense line, but they have forgotten that they have not encountered a truly strong opponent until they ran into a tough opponent like Chelsea.

With Lin Yi's breakthrough, Chelsea's attack began to recover its precise nature. In the 18th minute, Lin Yi, who was playing street ball in the backcourt, suddenly sent a clever straight pass with the outside of his left foot in the center circle. Lampard suddenly inserted in the middle and successfully countered the offside, and was about to form a very threatening single-handed ball.

Just when Mourinho clenched his fists and prepared to be excited about Lampard's attack, the referee's damn whistle blew first. The linesman held up the flag to indicate that it was an offside ball, which made Lampard very dissatisfied.

"Hey! Did you see it clearly! That's a good ball! I'm not offside!", although Lampard yelled at the linesman.

But it seemed that the linesman, who was determined, had no intention of changing his mind at all. He even verbally warned Lampard not to speak rudely to him, otherwise the referee would punish such reckless behavior with a yellow card.

"What the hell! I was clearly behind Puyol! Damn that referee!"

Although Lampard was dragged away by Drogba and others, he still expressed his dissatisfaction, because he knew very well where he was when Lin Yi passed the ball, and it was simply a standard offside.

Mourinho also negotiated with the fourth referee on the sidelines about the penalty in a very loud voice, "This is a complete misjudgment, this is definitely not an offside ball, Lampard is at least two positions behind the opponent!"

But the fourth referee did not have any explanation except to let Mourinho return to his bench.

"It's a fucking home advantage, damn the penalty!" Mourinho cursed when he returned to the coaching seat.

Britto couldn't say anything at this time. There was no way. Such penalties were sometimes unpredictable. In addition to the home advantage, the linesman and the referee would bear some pressure from the fans, and such mistakes were difficult to avoid.

In fact, this was indeed a misjudgment. Especially when the big screen in the stadium replayed this shot, many Chelsea fans and English reporters in the media seats booed the referee who made the mistake.

"You idiot! Look up at the screen! You killed a perfect offensive match!"

Of course, the linesman would not look up to see his mistake. Maybe he would say in an interview after the game that referees are not omnipotent and mistakes are part of football games and cannot be changed at all.

But this guy's misjudgment saved Barcelona's life, otherwise, they would have fallen behind now.

However, Swedish referee Frisk still found a psychological balance for Chelsea two minutes later. In the 20th minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from the left, used his clever feint to shake off Robben's pull, and quickly cut into the penalty area. He stumbled and fell on the grass under Ferreira's tight defense.

"Penalty!!!", many Barcelona fans were shouting, but Frisk seemed not to hear these voices, and ignored Ronaldinho's protests and refused to make a penalty.

"Damn balanceism!" When Rijkaard saw this scene on the sidelines, he also waved his hands vigorously with great dissatisfaction, but this is a football game, this is the authority of the referee, what can you do?

When you can't change anything, you can only swallow your anger, this is the helpless fact.

After the fierce confrontation in the first ten minutes, in the remaining thirty minutes of the first half, most of the competition between the two teams was still concentrated in the midfield, with Lin Yi and Ronaldinho leading the offensive line of their respective teams.

These two guys are completely against each other. Every time the opponent creates a scoring opportunity for his team or completes a beautiful breakthrough, you just watch, the other guy will definitely return the favor immediately.

This back-and-forth confrontation attracted all the camera lenses to them, which caused the cheers in the Nou Camp Stadium to be intermittent, because those Catalans, every time after cheering for Ronaldinho, always have to look at the black-haired boy depressedly, and also perform a wonderful performance.

To be honest, even Cruyff would applaud Lin Yi's performance, especially the feeling when Lin Yi was dribbling, which was elegant and agile, and every move revealed an irresistible charm.

But this is Barcelona's home stadium. Even Cruyff has to keep this praise in his heart. When neither side breaks the deadlock, it is better to save the energy of cheering for Ronaldinho.

However, one thing that cannot be denied is that this game watched by millions of people at the same time has increased the value of Lin Yi again. After all, this is at the Camp Nou, a big stage that attracts everyone's attention.

But Lin Yi doesn't have this feeling. Every time when the ball is at his feet, he just thinks about how to tear open the opponent's defense and let the ball get into the goal guarded by Valdes. He doesn't have time to think about other things.

This is a fucking game, not a show. Lin Yi now only wants to win with goals. The rest of the mess should disappear immediately. His brain has no time to sort out boring things.

Although Ronaldinho was not on the field and had no match with Lin Yi, Lin Yi did not want to lose to the other side even a little bit in performance. As the commander on the field and the organizer of the team, even if it was not a direct collision, Lin Yi had to prove that he was stronger than the other side and should win the game.

In this confrontation between the two of them, Lin Yi did not have any reservations at all. As long as the football was at his feet, he would do everything possible to create trouble for the Barcelona team's back line, or pass the ball, or break through with the ball himself. As long as there was an opportunity to attack, he would not let it go easily, but the goal did not appear.

It can be said that these two guys created a lot of opportunities. Lin Yi and Ronaldinho both delivered very good offensive opportunities to the striker, but they did not form the final goal. This may be a matter of luck.

And because of the hot performance of these two guys, the two teams' fighting actions on the field also seemed a little fierce. Forwards like Drogba also received a yellow card for fighting too hard in the penalty area.

After being tackled by Drogba, Marquez stood up and wanted to settle accounts with the African elephant, but Drogba was obviously stronger in terms of physique. Even if the two really competed with fists, he would not suffer any loss.

Maybe the atmosphere in the Camp Nou was too hot. Anyway, there were enough fouls on both sides in the first half. Chelsea's Makelele and Drogba both received yellow cards, and Barcelona's Belletti was also warned by the referee for pulling Duff. However, the scene of people falling and horses falling did not decrease because of the frequent whistle of the referee.

However, it was Chelsea who obviously suffered. This group of tough guys who were used to fighting in the Premier League would attract the roar of Barcelona fans as soon as they fought fiercely on the field. They thought it was a serious foul.

"Murder! Those British guys' tackles are murdering our players!" This kind of protest from Barcelona fans was definitely not just one or two, but more than 80,000 people in the stadium were protesting loudly to the referee.

Especially when fighting for midfield control, as long as the physical contact between the two sides is a little fierce, this sound will be heard in the Camp Nou stadium, and the Barcelona players are also very cooperative. Lin Yi even doubts whether these guys have been monks in Henan, and they are so damn skilled in the posture of rolling on the ground!

And with the painful expressions on their faces, Lin Yi even sometimes doubts whether his teammates are too hard? It can make these Spanish men lie on the ground for a long time and can't get up.

But Chelsea's players don't think this is a serious violation. You know, they play like this in the Premier League, and no one says they are maliciously hurting people, although the action looks very dangerous.

But so far, even if the Premier League games are included, no opponent's players have been injured by Chelsea, but this is an away game, this is Spain, even the referee's whistle has to be slightly biased towards the home team.

Anyway, in such physical contact, the players who are finally penalized for fouls are generally Chelsea players. Although Mourinho protested to the fourth official, the opponent's position is definitely not on the side of the visiting team.

This made many English reporters who were watching the game on the sidelines curse the guy from Sweden, thinking that it was the noise of Barcelona fans that was at work, which had seriously interfered with the referee's judgment, thus making a penalty in favor of the home team. This fucking game has lost its fair side so far!

"These noisy sounds have broken the balance of the game. At least in our opinion, the referee's whistle seems to be designed specifically for Chelsea. Every time he blows, he is aimed at Mourinho's players."

At this moment, even those English reporters who usually don't like Mourinho are on his side.

There is no way, this is called a common hatred of the enemy. The voices of those Catalan fans have caused a lot of trouble.

But the changes that Chelsea didn't expect are still behind, because the old bastard God doesn't seem to want the game to go on so quietly. He always looks forward to some exciting changes.

It's just that kind of change is not necessarily a good thing for some teams, especially a visiting team.

When the halftime whistle sounded, the players of both teams left the field and the coaches went into the tunnel, but no one could have imagined that an unexpected conflict would occur in the tunnel.

According to Chelsea assistant coach Brito, "It was a fucking chaotic scene!"

No one likes chaos, but some things just appear so suddenly that you are caught off guard. . .

God, that old bastard, just likes to see people being manipulated by him. . .

(Raul's national team goal record is finally sealed... Alas, a little disappointed...)
