Chapter 226 Arrogance (16/134)
At the beginning of the game, Lazio increased the speed, which was different from the previous game. The two sides did not entangle and compete back and forth in the midfield. m
Taking advantage of the opportunity of kick-off, Lazio just made a short pass back and then quickly moved forward.
Unlike Barcelona, they don't have to wait for the opponent's formation to break apart before attacking.
They can tear apart the opponent's line of defense by relying on overall advancement and speed.
Even Guardiola, who knows Lazio well, didn't expect that this team would launch such a rapid offensive against Barcelona's goal at the beginning of the game!
It was the real "game start", only a few seconds after the whistle blew...
Lazio's fierce offensive not only surprised Guardiola, but also surprised Barcelona's players.
So Lazio's first attack was easily advanced to their back line.
"Cavani shot from a long distance—!"
The quality of the ball shot by Cavani is quite high.
Valdés was forced to make his first save of the game, slapping the ball away with one palm...
Otherwise, the ball would have gone straight into the goal!
So when Valdes threw the football, the Barcelona fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a huge exclamation.
It seems to be worried that the football will really fly into the goal... If Lazio is allowed to score within a minute of the game, then this game may really be unplayable.
Less than half a minute after the start of the game, Lazio gave Barcelona a blow: I heard this is your home court?
Cavani put his head in his hands, looking annoyed.
Not only him, but none of the Lazio fans are not upset...
At the Nou Camp, it was the Barcelona fans who exclaimed, in the city of Rome. It was the Lazio fans who collectively exclaimed. It doesn't matter if they're watching the game at home, or in a bar, or wherever.
※ ※ ※
"Barcelona beware,
from this attack. It can be seen. The Lazio players are in good form... Cavani's shot from long distance is very good, of course. Valdes can also save well... But you can't count on Valdes every time, can you? "
The Catalan commentator said, frowning.
Lazio's murderous look from the beginning of the game always made him feel a little bad.
The status of Barcelona's game is still unknown.
But at least Lazio have shown their form.
"Barcelona must show our strength next, and we must suppress the momentum of Lazio. Tell them, this is our home field! Otherwise, we will lose control!"
But not yet, because Lazio's corner is next.
Jose Passarella and Chiellini, two tall central defenders, both appeared in Barcelona's penalty area.
This made Valdez a little nervous. As we all know, Barcelona's air defense capability has always been very weak, and now basically it can only rely on Pique alone.
When the corner kick came out, it did.
Chiellini entangled Pique tightly. Let Jose Passarella pull out the space, and then suddenly turn back and go forward, rushing forward and pointing a lion to shake his head.
Marcos was one step too late and completely missed it!
"Jose Passarella!!! Oops!"
The Italian commentator saw Jose Passarella leap high in the front post. There was not even a Barcelona defensive player around him, he was overjoyed and shouted excitedly, he thought there was something to be done about the ball.
In fact, not only him, Lazio fans, including the Lazio coaches in front of the coach's bench, thought the goal had been scored.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the football hit the crossbar and bounced out again!
The crossbar is so wide that Jose Passarella hit it!
It's really... Usually let him head the ball there, I guess he can't hit it...
※ ※ ※
Jose Passarella's header caused chaos in the Barcelona penalty area!
When the football hit the crossbar, it also hit the hearts of many people.
They have a sense of loss of strength that survives a catastrophe, so when the football flies over and wants to clear the siege, they can't use their strength.
Abidal pushed the ball out of the box, but not far.
The football fell to Ledesma's feet.
Ledesma unloaded the football, then swung his foot and shot!
He has a very full preparation time, and his body stretches out as much as possible.
The football kicked out is full of power!
The ball went through everyone in the Barcelona penalty area. Then... a little bit higher than the beam.
There was another exclamation from the stands and in front of the TV.
"so close!"
"Only two minutes into the game, Lazio has already had three shots! And both of them are within the frame! They are full of momentum and enter the game very quickly! For Barcelona, this is definitely not good news!"
Even fools can see that Lazio is really in a good state in this game... Although I don't understand why, it is really good. Such a good state is enough to threaten Barcelona.
The Barcelona fans in the stands were a little surprised.
They looked at each other.
Didn't it mean that these people didn't even sleep well? How could they still be alive and well in the game?
Does it look like you haven't had a good rest?
The group of Barcelona fans who participated in the early morning riots were the most surprised.
Looking at the performance of the Lazio players in front of them, they really wondered if they were in the wrong place early this morning...
※ ※ ※
Barcelona finally got a chance to attack. After the astonishment, the Barcelona fans cheered in the stands, cheering for Barcelona's attack.
Well, now that Lazio have proved their state with three consecutive goals, they muster up their momentum.
Then Barcelona will have to use a more violent offensive to push them back and get rid of their arrogance!
Valdés did not kick the football directly to the frontcourt, although the attacking speed would be faster in doing so.
But there are also big risks.
Barcelona is still used to pushing the football up a little bit from the backcourt.
So he passed the football to the central defender Pique, and Pique sent the football forward.
But what makes Barcelona players and fans can't believe it is.
Their attack advanced to the middle circle position, and it was cut off!
Yes. Surrounded by three Lazio players, Butzkes conceded the ball!
This scene really reminds a lot of people...
Lazio took advantage of the situation and gave up a swift counterattack, while Barcelona could only retreat back to the defense hastily.
Fortunately, Lazio's attack did not score in the end, otherwise Barcelona would have been forced to a dead end...
But this time it still shocked many people.
Because they really didn't think of their offense before. Can't even make it past midfield. It was cut off by the other party...
Lazio's players were like a pack of mad dogs, they rushed from three directions at the same time. The speed was so fast that Butzkes had no time to react, and he fell into the encirclement.
Then in a chaotic fight, the ball at his feet was lost.
Although Butzkes fell to the ground, arms outstretched. Looking at the referee with eager eyes, I hope the referee can know that Lazio's defense is fouled.
But the referee ignored him.
Lazio's defense is no problem!
Barcelona wanted to use this attack to form a continuous offensive to suppress Lazio's arrogance.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the opponent without even passing the middle circle, and let the opponent complete another attack...
※ ※ ※
Guardiola stood up from the coach's bench, and he stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and his brows furrowed.
He realized that this game was different from the last one.
Compared with the previous game. In this game, Lazio has increased their speed from the beginning, and their rhythm has always been carried out in a high-speed environment.
Lazio's players seemed to be indefatigable, rushing straight from the start to fifth gear.
Doing so will naturally make Barcelona unable to keep up with the rhythm. This is normal, if Barcelona can keep up with Lazio like this. This is strange.
It's just that this kind of kicking is very energy-consuming... Don't you often know?
Guardiola turned his head and glanced at Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng didn't stand on the sidelines, but sat on the coach's bench. From this angle, he could only see a quarter of his profile. There is no expression at all.
How long can Lazio last if they squander their physical fitness?
A game is definitely not going to last, how about the first half?
You must know that even if they are regarded as planes, it will have an impact on physical fitness.
Secondly, they didn't sleep well in the early hours of this morning.
In this way, it is also doubtful how much physical strength they can use.
But Guardiola is not concerned about this issue.
He knows the priorities. Compared with "playing like this, how can Lazio persist until the end of the game", it is obviously more important to "play like this, and Barcelona will lose the ball in a short time"...
He more or less guessed Chang Sheng's plan.
Why did the team try their best to attack at the beginning of the game?
Why did the speed increase to the highest gear at the beginning of the race?
Simple, they want a quick fix!
In fact, their physical ability is not enough, so they choose to devote themselves to the game at the beginning of the game, use up all their physical energy at this moment, and attack Barcelona's defense line, as long as they can successfully score one or two goals. The suspense of the game is gone.
Lazio already led by two goals in total, and now they continue to lead. It is not easy for Barcelona to catch up...
Then Lazio retreated to defend. With such a big lead, it was enough for them to eliminate Barcelona and advance to the final.
What Barcelona should do now is to control, slow down the rhythm, and focus on defense at the same time.
Just keep Lazio from scoring goals before they run out of energy.
When Lazio has no physical fitness and starts running, what is the difference between them and an ordinary team?
Such a team Barcelona usually can play five.
And now Lazio, for Barcelona, is very special.
They have the same genes as themselves, and are more ferocious.
