Chapter 698 Protagonist
Novel Network
Each scored a goal in the opening ten minutes, and all of this seemed to herald the game, and then it proved it.
After the game restarted, Leeds United immediately launched an offensive, Modric scored the ball on the wing, and Bell took the ball and made a breakthrough on the wing, but facing Puyol, Bell finally passed the ball out.
Puyol's appearance on the right is obviously a special arrangement of Guardiola. Bell is the core of Leeds United. Guardiola has paid much attention to the progress of this season even when he is in Barcelona.
Except for a few players from Leeds United, he is no stranger to him, but the progress this season has really surprised Guardiola.
Although Guardiola is still a little unconvinced, the media often use Leeds United under Li Yi to run against Guardiola, but some have to admit that Li Yi is really good at cultivating young players.
Although Bell did not really break through Puyol, Puyol was not easy to defend Bell, and defensive players had a natural disadvantage against offensive players.
Besides, Bell failed to break through Puyol, but it also threatened Barcelona's defense, forcing Barcelona's defense to tilt, and this took the right to create an opportunity.
Mata inserted into the penalty area from the wing, received a diagonal transmission from Bell across Modric into the penalty area, the ball arrived at Mata, and then shot without any adjustment.
Spain in recent years is indeed enviable. Not only are there very good players in various positions, but there are even three top goalkeepers, and Valdes is one of them.
Mata's shot was eventually blocked by Valdes, and the subsequent corner was cleared by Pique. Barcelona also took advantage of the situation to play a counterattack, but it was finally resolved by Leeds United.
Leeds United, who conceded the ball, was more focused, so it was not easy for Barcelona to repeat the previous goals.
At the same time, Barcelona tried to focus on defense as well, but this is not without harm. In the 22nd minute, Pique was picked up by the referee because of his excessive defensive action and received the first yellow card of the game.
Who is Li Yi? Naturally, I seized this point at the first time, and then the next few attacks against Leeds United all attacked this point of Pique.
However, Pique's performance was somewhat beyond Li Yi's expectations, and he forcibly resisted the impact of Leeds United. Although there was help from his teammates, this performance exceeded Li Yi's expectations.
Pique withstood the impact of Leeds United, and Leeds United did not give Barcelona another chance to score.
Therefore, these two goals in the opening game were the only two goals in the first half. Although the two sides played not conservatively in the next time and had exchanges, they failed to break each other's goals.
We played well in the first half, Li Yi said when he returned to the locker room.
But the opponent is not bad, so we have to be more careful in the second half, and we must not let the situation in the first half repeat itself. Li Yi pointed out that the repeat was naturally a matter of Iniesta's sudden assist.
When I started the second half, we still focused on Pique. Li Yi believed that the Leeds United players could understand what he meant.
In fact, Li Yi had some guesses about what Guardiola said at half-time, and when the game started,
His guess has also been proved, Barcelona is indeed around Pique in the defense, and Leeds United also started the attack around Pique.
In the first ten minutes, the battles between the two sides were still frequent. Leeds United failed to achieve any good results in the final three attacks, but the same was true for Barcelona.
This deadlock was broken in the 59th minute. When Leeds United attacked again, Owen, who had the ball, rushed to Pique again. Barcelona's defense subconsciously revolved around Pique, and at this time, Owen passed the ball.
Crossed to Mata on the right, but Mata did not steer the ball forward, but sent it completely along the wing, and then I saw a white figure sprang from behind Mata and rushed towards the ball.
Zabaleta, the Argentine has only inserted once in the first half of the game, which gradually makes people let go of his vigilance, so the Barcelona players did not pay attention when Zabaleta rushed.
Zabaleta, catching up with the ball, immediately cut into the penalty area, and Barcelona's defense in desperation all tilted to the right, and at this time, Zabaleta passed the ball.
Who is it at the back? Zabaleta did not cross to the back of the penalty area, but diagonally to the back.
Baines, this is the perfect cooperation between the two full-backs. Zabaleta only got in the attack once in the first half, and Baines is even more amazing. The number of times the game has even crossed the center line is very few.
Because Li Yi gave Baines the heaviest task before the game, guarding Messi. Of course, it is obviously impossible to watch Messi with Baines alone. Matic has also been instructed to pull the side at any time. Assist in defense.
Guardiola is familiar with Leeds United, but is Li Yi unfamiliar with Barcelona? Doesn't Li Yi know where the strongest point in Barcelona is?
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~ Goal scored~~~ Leeds United~~~ 2:1, Leeds United took the lead again.
Bains~~~ scored the second goal for Leeds United in this game. Left back Baines volleyed and the ball went straight to the dead corner.
Unexpected attack, who would have thought that in the final of the Champions League, who and two full-backs who did not participate in the attack very much in this game would become the protagonists Actually, this is not the first time that Li Yi has made full-backs in an important game. The protagonist on the field.
It was a premeditated attack. When Zabaleta passed the ball and Baines rushed up, Bell got Puyol involved.
In the stands, the fans of Leeds United were completely crazy. It was nothing to lead by a goal at the opening, because there were still 90 minutes left, which was enough for the score to change, but now? The game has come to 60 minutes, and there is only half an hour left before the game.
But this half hour is enough to change a lot of things, so the Barcelona people don't know the frustration, but sadness is inevitable, after all, they are behind now.
On the sidelines, Guardiola stood up again. In fact, Guardiola had already vaguely guessed Li Yi's tactical intentions. He also instructed him at halftime, but sometimes it is not that you can do it by guessing.
Guardiola's reputation in the Barcelona team is still quite high. This is due to Barcelona's policy. Unlike Real Madrid's purchase of superstars, Barcelona cultivates it by itself. At this moment, most of the players in the Barcelona team are from La Masia, and Guardiola is the orthodox La Masia out.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the players in the Barcelona team at the moment watched Guardiola grow up and cultivated respect since childhood. This is also the reason why Eto'o failed to make any waves in the locker room.
