Chapter 241
Although there is no Gerrard, the hardness of Liverpool's midfield defense has not dropped much...

Sometimes, Barcelona's siege allows Liverpool players to pass the ball all the way to the goalkeeper Mignolet's feet, but this does not allow them to score goals.

If Liverpool’s defense gave them the impression of a wall in the past, then Liverpool’s defense now feels like a very dense net to Barcelona players. Their offense can deform and distort this net, but they cannot pierce it. This net, all the power is caught by this net.

But in the face of this net, the Barcelona players have an illusion-that is, with a little more force, this thin net can be pierced.

So they continued to siege Liverpool players in the frontcourt and midfield.

From Lin Yi's point of view, the beginning of an opportunity has appeared, but it is not the best opportunity yet. He still needs to observe and wait patiently.

Because this kind of opportunity is hard to come by, we must pay attention to one-hit kill. If you can't score a goal once, it will not be easy to get the next opportunity.With Barcelona's ability to control the ball, as long as they control the football and do not attack, they can drag the score of 2:1 to the end of the game.

But we can't wait too long.Because as the game time goes by, Barcelona is not stupid. If they see that there is really no way to break through Liverpool's goal, they will choose a more pragmatic approach and start to pay more attention to control and defense.

So in fact, the window period for Liverpool to score goals is very short. If you wait patiently, it may be the opponent's recovery, then you will miss the opportunity.

This is a test of Lin Yi's decision-making ability.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Yi had his own way.

If you blindly wait, you may not be able to wait until the end for a better opportunity, so what should you do if you want a better opportunity?
Of course it was created on its own initiative!

Lin Yi decided to make a more adventurous and bolder move. He wanted to participate more deeply in the team's offense.

Defensive counterattack is not just a method of long pass!
When the football was passed to Lin Yi again, Mascherano rushed forward.

Faced with Mascherano's fierce attack, Lin Yi did not pass the football.In the eyes of outsiders, Mascherano rushed very fiercely, aggressively, and the visitor was not good.But in Lin Yi's view, his whole body was full of flaws.

Maybe he didn't take himself seriously, or felt that he could only be forced to pass the ball by him.

But this time, Lin Yi had to make a different choice.

Faced with Mascherano rushing up, Lin Yi gently pulled the football to the left with his right foot.

Mascherano missed it.

A simple action that could not be simpler, even shook Mascherano away, and everyone present was surprised.

Including Mascherano.

But Lin Yi didn't, he didn't have time to be complacent.

After he pulled the football to the left with his right foot, he continued to push the football to the left with his left foot. At the same time, he jumped up and dodged Mascherano, who couldn't stop the car.

After landing, Lin Yi sped up and caught up with the football. He dribbled the ball forward and broke through!

Barcelona players rushed over from all directions to surround Lin Yi.

At this time, Lin Yi didn't continue to rush forward with the ball, he quickly passed the football to Royce who was not far away.He didn't stop after passing the ball, but continued to run forward.

Royce passed the football to Henderson on the wing, and Lin Yi had already run diagonally in front of Henderson.

Henderson passed the football to Lin Yi again.

All are passed with one kick, and no one stops the ball to adjust again, so that the encirclement of Barcelona will be surrounded.Only one pass can ensure that the football will not be intercepted halfway.

After Lin Yi received the ball, he also passed it with one kick, and passed the football to Henderson without stopping the ball.

He then circled behind Henderson and ran forward.

As he went around Henderson, Henderson knocked the football back to him with his heel.Facing the football knocked by Henderson, Lin Yi swung his foot and kicked the football to the middle, and Sterling, who retreated back, received the ball.

At this time, Liverpool had already reached the 30-meter area of ​​Barcelona!

In just a few passes, in six seconds, Liverpool went from defensive to offensive, and even threatened Barcelona's goal!

"It's Liverpool's counterattack!"

"Liverpool's quick counterattack has reached the heart of Barcelona!"

Huge boos rang out over the Camp Nou stadium. The boos were to put pressure on the Liverpool players, but they could also be interpreted as...a dying struggle!
When Sterling was about to catch the ball with his back to the goal, he also did not stop the ball, but directly swept the football to the left sideways, the football rolled to the left, and Firmino was advancing at high speed!
After passing the ball, Sterling turned around and inserted into the penalty area. At the same time, he raised his arm high, signaling Firmino to pass the ball to himself.

In addition to him, Henderson also inserted into the penalty area and formed a second support point behind Sterling, but he was a thief and did not raise his hand to signal.

In fact, Lin Yi was following behind him.

Lin Yi also accelerated and charged into the penalty area.

For a while, it was supposed to be a quick counterattack, but Liverpool fired three arrows in Barcelona's penalty area!

Firmino also didn't stop the ball after receiving the ball, he swept the football directly into it.

The football flies to Barcelona's goal!
Both Sterling and Henderson rushed forward, but they rushed past, and Firmino's pass was slightly behind.

Only Lin Yi made a sudden stop when accelerating towards the goal, catching Barcelona player Pique who was following him by surprise.

After the emergency stop, Lin Yi retreated, but Pique couldn't stop and could only continue to charge forward.One in front and one in back, the two of them distanced themselves, and Lin Yi was also in an empty space where no one was guarding.

After taking a step back, Lin Yi stood still, swung his left foot sideways, and slammed it towards the football flying in the air!

The boos over the Camp Nou suddenly increased many times, and almost no other voices could be heard.

In the crater, Lin Yi was extremely calm, his eyes fixed on the flying football, his left foot was like a whip, and he hit the football without hesitation!

Bang!
This sound seemed to be a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart. Although the sound was not loud, it could make the noisy boos of Camp Nou stagnate.

The football was drawn to the lower part by Lin Yi, and it changed direction and flew towards the goal!

At that moment, breathing stopped.

Claudio Bravo sees the football flying from behind the crowd, jumps up and hits it with a wave.

But he didn't hit the football. The football moved faster than him, and then it hit the lower edge of the crossbar, and then went down and bounced into the goal!
"Goal scored! Good goal! Beautiful! World wave!! Liverpool equalized! 2:2! They have two away goals!! If this score stays to halfway, Liverpool will take advantage of away goals Eliminate Barcelona!!"

"Who would dare to dream such a dream when Liverpool was sent off one man and one goal behind? I am afraid that even the most loyal Liverpool fans dare not think so! You must know that they are facing a mighty Barcelona. But they did it anyway! Lin! He made the attack and the final blow! It was perfect!"

Klopp on the sidelines jumped up from his seat, raising his arms and shouting!The players and coaches from the bench and the coach's bench also rushed out, roaring loudly on the sidelines, venting their emotions to their heart's content.

Klopp looked back and smiled happily.

After scoring the goal, Lin Yi pointed at Firmino and ran towards him. Firmino opened his arms and waited. Then Lin Yi jumped onto Firmino's body. Firmino clasped his arms, Hold him tight.Sterling and Henderson followed, knocking them both to the ground.

They roared in their ears.

More Liverpool players were coming from the back, cheering, roaring, arms outstretched like birds in the sky.

Liverpool's players celebrated the goal at the Nou Camp, while Barcelona's collective face was stunned-they never thought that Liverpool, who had been under pressure from them, would score a goal!

The scoring process was so fast, so fast that they didn't even realize how the ball was scored before they could clearly see how the ball was scored...

It made them feel unreal - did we really drop the ball?

Some players looked up at the big screen at the scene. An animation special effect had just finished playing on it, and a new score was refreshed - 2:2.

They were really evened out!

Equalized by Liverpool with one less man!
Before this kind of thing happened, it was simply a fantasy!
Messi frowns, Iniesta looks dignified, Pique puts his hands on his hips, Mascherano looks sluggish, Claudio Bravo sits on the ground... almost every Barcelona player shows They all mean the same thing - bewildered.

How could this ball be lost?

Even the Nou Camp is very cooperative with their quietness.

It wasn't until the Liverpool players got up from the ground and walked towards their own half that the overwhelming boos sounded from the stands again.

Amidst the boos, Lin Yi once again raised his arms high and waved to the fans in the stands.

Hey, Barcelona fans are so enthusiastic!
With such a wave of his hand, the Barcelona fans in the stands booed louder...

When Liverpool returned to their position, the game continued.

Enrique quickly made adjustments - facing such a score, he had no choice but to attack.Try to tear down Liverpool's defense with a strong attack and score another goal before the end of the game.

It is now No.706 minutes of the game, and there are at least 15 minutes before the end of the game.

In 15 minutes, at their own home court, Barcelona, ​​who went all out, wanted to score a goal. Is it difficult?

Five minutes later, Enrique found it really difficult to score a goal...

After scoring a goal, Liverpool did not retreat directly to their 30-meter area as people thought, and then handed over possession of the ball, and they stuck to the goal and placed the bus.

Their defense is more aggressive.

As long as the football is at their feet, they will not easily give up the ball. Instead, they mobilize the Barcelona players through continuous and fast passing. Loopholes, using the pass to launch some counterattacks, threatening Barcelona's goal, so that they dare not press too presumptuously across the board.

Such a defensive style is almost unheard of, because no team has the courage to fall in front of their own box against Barcelona... and Liverpool did it, and it worked well.

If there is software to analyze the pass path of the Barcelona team after the game, it will be found that most of the passes are directed to Lin Yi.The data proves from another angle that Lin Yi is the core of this team.

In the face of Liverpool's pass, Barcelona strengthened their efforts to grab the ball in the frontcourt, so Liverpool's pass was under great pressure.

Facing the defensive actions of the Barcelona players, which were somewhat similar to fouls, the Liverpool players also panicked.After all, this is Barcelona's home court, so it's hard to say what really happened in the end.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer consecutive passes to each other, and after a few passes, the Liverpool players often drive the football forward with one big foot, so that possession of the ball returns to Barcelona's feet.

Lin Yi has nothing to do with it.

With less than 10 minutes left in the game, the two sides were already fighting hand-to-hand.

The referee whistled continuously, and the game was frequently interrupted.

Of course, most of the fouls are on Liverpool's side. The home court advantage is understandable.

In order to keep this score, Liverpool naturally tried their best.

Skrtel's foul drew huge boos from the Nou Camp, but the Liverpool players didn't care about the boos of the opponent fans. As long as they can draw away with Barcelona, ​​it is more important than anything else.

After Skrtel fouled, he didn't even pull up Iniesta, who was knocked to the ground by him, to show his friendship. Instead, he got up and turned around and ran away, leaving all the boos behind.

Barcelona did not make good use of the free kick obtained by Skrtel's foul.

After Iniesta's free kick was sent into the penalty area, Royce pushed it out first. In terms of headers, Liverpool is not afraid of Barcelona at all.

Then the game time passed by one minute and one second, and the score still had not been rewritten.

The atmosphere became dignified and tense.

Enrique stood on the sidelines, staring at the court nervously, waving his arms to the players on the court from time to time, shouting loudly.In fact, this kind of command does not have much effect, and the effect of self-psychological comfort may be greater... If the coach does not do this, he will feel that he cannot play any role in the face of a crisis, which will make them restless.

Even though I'm really nervous right now...

There were 6 minutes of stoppage time in the game. This decision caused great dissatisfaction with the British commentator, who believed that this was an approach that favored the home team.

He believes that although there was a dispute caused by the penalty kick in the second half, it should not give 6 minutes of injury time.

When the fourth official held up the six-minute stoppage time sign, the Nou Camp stadium also fell into madness.Every Barcelona fan was screaming - when their own players got the ball, it was deafening cheers.And when Liverpool players get the ball, it's boos that can almost pierce the eardrums.
