Chapter 237
The next chapter of the title is to welcome the second round of the semi-finals. Liverpool is about to go to Barcelona and visit the Nou Camp Stadium!

Liverpool set off one day earlier and collectively flew to Barcelona to challenge this powerful opponent.

When they arrived at the airport in Barcelona, ​​many reporters rushed to interview them.

In an interview, Klopp said "we are ready".This statement was ridiculed by the local host in Catalonia on the evening news as preparation for losing.

In an interview, Lin Yi also refuted the idea that everyone thought they were eliminated: "I have never seen a situation where the first round was 0:0, it would be considered to be eliminated in advance. Two rounds of home and away games Isn't the game under the system just to prepare for something to happen in the second round?"

"But after all, it is Barcelona's home court. It is really difficult for Liverpool to beat Barcelona here." A reporter asked.

Lin Yi nodded: "Of course, it's not easy to beat Barcelona at home. But please note that this is a two-round home and away game. We defended at home, but the advantage of one goal in the away game can be used as an advantage." For two balls."

Before the start of the game, the Nou Camp stadium was full, but the atmosphere of the stadium was not too warm. Everyone felt that Barcelona eliminated Liverpool at home, and there was no suspense.

In the locker room, Klopp is cheering on his players!

"Of course it's going to be difficult for me to beat Barcelona away, but like Lim said, it's a two-leg home and away game, so there are away goals right? We don't need to beat Barcelona away, we just It’s enough to draw them away! 1:1 is enough for us to let them go home!” It’s not impossible to draw them, right? "

When the players from both sides walked out of the channel and stepped into the stadium accompanied by the Champions League theme song, there was a huge cheer from the stands of the Camp Nou stadium.

Amidst the cheers, Lin Yi, who was walking in the queue, suddenly raised his arms and waved towards the stands. At the same time, he looked up at the stands with a smile on his face.

The gestures and expressions are as if he is responding to the cheers of the fans...

But this is not Liverpool's home stadium, but Barcelona's home stadium!It can be said that 90.00% of the five people here are enemies of Liverpool!
But if Lin Yi still does this, people don't understand.

Originally, the cheers above the Nou Camp were deafening and powerful. It is conceivable that every Barcelona player who stepped onto the pitch in such an atmosphere must be full of pride in their hearts. They felt that no one in the world could stop them from winning. to victory.

But now, because of Lin Yi's sudden wave of his hand, the cheers that were going to continue took a very abrupt turn, from cheers to shrill boos.

I have to say that the Barcelona fans are really uniform, as if they are well-trained soldiers, they can boo if they say boo.

But in the ears of the listeners, this turn made them a little uncomfortable. The sudden boos not only stimulated the Liverpool players, but also stimulated the Barcelona players.

This can be seen from the actions of the Barcelona players who were startled by the sudden boos and then looked up into the stands.

And most importantly, with the constant boos, it will be difficult for the Barcelona fans to organize the massive cheers just now...

Some people booed Lin Yi and wanted to continue to cheer for their team, but some people continued to boo Lin Yi, which caused the cheers in the stands to be mixed with boos. People who didn't know thought it was Barcelona fans He's booing his own player, it sounds like he has no momentum.

So the Barcelona fans who were quite united were torn apart by Lin Yi...

At this time, the players from both sides were about to line up. Lin Yi followed the teammates in front of him and stood in his position, smiling without saying a word. His gaze was still on the stands.

In the ensuing side-picking ceremony, Liverpool lost the right to pick a side, and Barcelona chose the half-time game under the North Stand in the first half.In this way, Liverpool were placed in the half under the South Stand.

The South Stand of the Camp Nou is where the most die-hard and fanatical fans gather.

Letting Liverpool play against their most fanatical fans in the first half, Barcelona's intention is very obvious, hoping to put pressure on Liverpool under the influence of the fanatical atmosphere in the South Stand.You know, in this level of competition, fans can actually do a lot, and their contribution is far greater than people think.

Their tireless shouting, singing and yelling can interfere with visiting players.

Let Mignolet guard the goal for 45 minutes at a place close to them. There is a slight psychological fluctuation, maybe he will lose his hand in a save?
There are so many considerations for a simple choice. Football is not just a game of bragging, it also requires brains.

Because Barcelona won the right to pick a side, Liverpool naturally won the kick-off.After the game starts, they will kick off first, which means that possession of the ball is at Liverpool's feet when the game starts.

Lin Yi didn't care which side he played on, but it was great to be able to control the ball on his own side.

While the captains of the two sides were still getting together to complete the ceremony, Lin Yi grabbed Firmino and said to him: "As soon as the game starts, you go forward, run to their defensive ribs, and keep running .”

Firmino was surprised: "Keep running?"

"Yes, keep running." Lin Yi nodded.

Firmino nodded. He always believed in Lin Yi's decisions on the court, "And then? Do I just keep running like this?"

"Of course not. When you run past their back line, you have to be ready to catch the ball." Lin Yi said. "I will pass the football in front of you, behind their line of defense. At that time, there should be space behind their line of defense. After you catch the ball, it should be near the penalty area line. As long as you have the opportunity, just play. Foot shot."

"Shoot when you get a chance?"

"Yeah, don't care where it is, shoot when you get the chance! That's no problem for you, Fermi?"

"Of course!" Firmino looked confident.

Lin Yi did not wait quietly for the game to start in his position, he went to Royce and several other teammates, gathered them together, and told them that he would pass the football back for a while, but he hoped everyone would catch the ball After that, the football can be passed back to him immediately, and the speed must be fast enough not to be slow.

The teammates didn't quite understand what Lin Yi was trying to do, and this request was a bit inexplicable.But they all agreed, and did not ask Lin Yi why he did this.

This is the treatment Lin Yi enjoys in Liverpool now - whenever he has an opinion, trust him.

When Lin Yi finished these things, the captains of both sides returned to their respective camps, and everyone walked to their positions one after another, waiting for the whistle to sound.

When Liverpool kicked off, Lin Yi didn't stand in the center circle, because he is not a midfielder now, so he can't go in to participate in the kick-off.

Liverpool's kick-off was done by strikers Sterling and Henderson.

Lin Yi stood just outside the middle circle, waiting for the football to be passed.

With the whistle of the referee, Sterling knocked out the football, and Henderson turned around and passed the football back.

Sure enough, the football fell at Lin Yi's feet.

As soon as Henderson passed the ball back, Firmino started to run forward.

But at first he hesitated. Looking back, he found that Lin Yi didn't pass the football directly, but continued to pass it back. He knew that Lin Yi wanted to give himself enough time.So he didn't dare to neglect, stopped looking back at the situation behind him, and began to accelerate forward.

After Lin Yi put the football back on, he quickly looked back and saw the back of Fei Mi running.

So he turned his head again and motioned to Royce, who was receiving the ball, to pass the football to himself.

Lin Yi greeted Royce before the game, and Royce immediately passed the football back.

After Lin Yi received the ball, he didn't turn around and pass it forward, but passed it to Gerrard sideways.

After kicking the football out, he quickly turned his head and glanced ahead again to determine Fimi's position.At the same time, although he didn't look at Gerrard, his hand had already made a pass to Gerrard.

When Gerrard passed the ball to him, his head was turned back, just in time to see the ball rolling towards him.

He lifted his foot to catch the ball and completed the turn at the same time.

At this time, after Liverpool kicked off, including Henderson's pass to Lin Yi, there were only five passes in total.

Five passes with no more than six seconds to go.

For a game of 10 minutes, six seconds is just a very short moment.

What is this very short moment enough for?

Barcelona's attacking players have just moved to the vicinity of Liverpool's 30-meter zone. Suarez intends to come up and attack Lin Yi, steal his ball, and then attack directly.

But just as he rushed up, Lin Yi who was holding the ball suddenly made a long pass and kicked the football straight to Barcelona's defense, or to be more precise, the space behind Barcelona's defense!
The football crossed all obstacles in the air, like a precision-guided missile, and flew towards the space behind the Barcelona back line.

Six seconds was enough for Firmino to bypass the defenders, pass through several lines of defense, and reach his destination.

While the football was flying through the air, Firmino passed through the gap between Mascherano and Alves.

He broke out and became the leader!
"Fimi! Fimi!"

Claudio originally wanted to attack, but he just ran to the penalty spot, but hesitated - Lin Yi passed the ball very stealthily, although it was a strong long pass, but he controlled the ball's landing But it is very accurate. After the football lands, it is outside the penalty area and will be closer to Firmino, so Firmino will get the ball earlier.

Of course, if Claudio insists on attacking, it is not impossible, just rush to Firmino in one breath and block his shooting angle.

But Claudio paused for a while, and this pause gave Firmino an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Firmino, who rushed past the back line, looked back and saw that the football had fallen towards him, so he adjusted his pace and was ready to catch the ball.

He raised his foot to unload the football in the air, stopped the ball perfectly, and the football landed directly in front of his body!

"Beautiful stop by Fimi! Great stop!"

A good stop is almost half the battle in this counter-attack.

Firmino stopped the ball and looked up at Claudio.

Claudio happened to be on the penalty spot at this time, and he was in a very embarrassing situation-wanted to keep going?Time is running out and the distance is too far. Before he can rush to Firmino, the opponent may hang the door directly.Pull back?This increases the angle of Firmino's shot, allowing him to take it easy...

After hesitating for only half a second, Claudio still chose to attack—it would be too stupid to retreat halfway through the attack, and he didn't want to make such an amateur mistake.So at this time, like a pawn crossing the river, Claudio can only move forward, not retreat.

He rushed towards Firmino.

After Firmino observed Claudio's position, there was only one voice in his mind, which came from Lin Yi's words before the game: "Shoot when you have a chance!"

Isn't this an opportunity?
Take a decisive shot!

He did not choose to lob, but chose a low shot, and the football flew forward against the turf, not far from Claudio.

But this kind of shot makes Claudio feel uncomfortable when he pounces, because the goalkeeper is most afraid of bouncing the ground ball, and what makes them most uncomfortable in the ground ball is the kind of ball that is close to their body or far away. The far ball.Because the speed at which goalkeepers fall to the ground is slower than the speed at which they rise into the air, and the position closer to their bodies can be regarded as a blind spot for fighting with hands, which is determined by the structure of the human body.

Therefore, more thief shots will choose to play this position.

Sure enough, Claudio was half a beat behind when he fell to the ground. Before his hand could touch the football, the football had already rushed past him!

Now all he can do is pray to God that the ball will be blocked by the post, or simply missed...

He looked back at the football, then watched it... rolled into the net!

"AH! AH! THE GOAL!!! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!"

"Fimi! Shot—goal!"

"It's unbelievable! It's unbelievable! It was Liverpool who scored the first goal, and it was only eight seconds into the opening!"

"The fastest goal in the Champions League this season was born!"

"Before the game, everyone thought that Barcelona had an absolute advantage in their home court. But only eight seconds into the game, Barcelona's goal fell. This must have surprised most people! But I think this No surprises, because this is football, anything is possible!"
