It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 110: 108 Level Alarm

Seeing Ronaldo rushing forward like a cheetah, Valdes passed the ball to Puyol again.

But I don't know what happened, maybe it was because Guardiola was too excited, Puyol's brain seemed to be still immersed in the atmosphere just now, and he didn't stop the ball at all.

Manchester United throw-in.

Seeing O'Shea pick up the ball, Charles also retreated, not daring to go too far forward.

Now he has also discovered that all the Barcelona players are not in good shape.

O'Shea threw the ball out, Park Ji-sung raised his foot to hit the ball hard, but the kick was too hasty and the ball fell directly into Barcelona's encirclement.

Charles saw the landing point and kicked the ball without hesitation.

"call out--"

The ball that was in the air just about to land was like a cat that had just used the low wall for support. After jumping onto Charles' feet, it jumped to a higher and farther tree with a "swoosh".

In Henry's eyes, the ball was like a naughty kitten. When he was about to hold the ball in his arms, Ferdinand behind him snatched the ball away. In the blink of an eye, he stepped between him and the ball, and with another kick, passed the ball away.

The ball returned to Manchester United's control.

After receiving the ball, Vidic immediately launched a long pass. Before Xavi could react, Anderson rushed out from behind him and kicked the ball out.

The ball did not stay at Giggs' feet for too long, but was passed to Carrick on the wing.

After receiving the ball with his right foot, Carrick quickly pushed the ball to his left foot, and after receiving the ball with his left foot, he looked like he wanted to dribble past the opponent.

I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe Guardiola’s enthusiasm is too strong and he hasn’t fully digested it yet.

Just as Carrick gently pushed the ball and was about to pass it to Anderson behind Busquets, Busquets quickly turned back and pushed Carrick away as he tried to pass by him.

"Beep——"

The referee blew the whistle quickly. Busquets clasped his hands together and looked pleading, but the referee's heart was as hard as a rock and he remained unmoved.

Just 90 seconds into the game, Manchester United won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Guardiola sat nervously on the bench, and then he also noticed that something was wrong with the team.

Barcelona's players either wanted to perform well so much that they over-exerted themselves, or they were too passionate and could not fully concentrate on the game.

All in all, it's a mess.

If Manchester United had scored a goal right at the start of the game, Barcelona would have been in big trouble.

If it comes to offensive play, then Barcelona can be said to be not afraid of anyone, but if they play against a "bus" like Chelsea, they may not be able to beat them.

Charles followed Valdes' instructions and began to form a human wall.

With a whistle, Ronaldo took a deep breath, took small steps to run up, ran faster and faster, and finally his right foot hit the ball crisply like a whip.

The ball accurately passed through the gap between the human wall. Park Ji-sung, who was standing next to Charles, turned around at the same time as Charles. Giggs was not willing to be left behind, and at the same time Charles turned around, he also ran past his right side.

Valdes concentrated his attention, and the moment his right foot pushed off the ground, he moved his left foot to the right, and then he lunged to the left like a tree knocked down by a typhoon, with both hands on the ball.

At the moment the ball bounced off the ground, Charles stepped to the left and directly blocked Park Ji-sung. Pique quickly and neatly cleared the ball at this time.

"Valdes made a mistake in his first judgement, but he immediately changed his center of gravity and saved the ball."

"It can be seen that the Barcelona players cooperated very well at this time. Charles blocked Park Ji-sung's position and Pique cleared the ball cleanly at this time."

Manchester United corner.

Manchester United took a corner kick, but it was a completely harmless one. As soon as the ball entered the penalty area, Charles pushed the ground with his feet, aimed at the ball and hit it with his head, but the ball was cleared again.

Rooney was standing at the back post and wanted to make a follow-up shot when the ball bounced towards him, but the ball slipped past the goal again.

Valdes took the ball thrown by the caddy and put it away, while Charles also returned to his position, ready for the next attack or defense.

No matter how many times you have watched the Champions League videos before, it still feels very different when you actually stand on the field for the first time.

Valdes had just passed the ball to Sylveno, who saw the opportunity on the field and wanted to pass the ball to Henry again, but unexpectedly, Manchester United's defense was at its maximum strength and the ball went out of bounds again.

In the following time, Manchester United began to gain the upper hand, while Barcelona played very restrainedly.

……

Van der Sar kicked the ball forward again. With less than 10 minutes left in the game, Manchester United led Barcelona 5:0 in terms of shots.

Busquets saw the ball coming over, looked at Charles' position, and kicked the ball directly to Charles.

As soon as Carrick and Giggs saw Charles with the ball, they rushed up directly. On the other side of Charles, O'Shea was like riding a fast horse, chasing him relentlessly at lightning speed.

Giggs felt his face turn red. He had tried his best, but Charles ran faster and faster with the ball. What was under his feet didn't seem like a ball, but more like Hot Wheels.

Charles ran faster and faster. Looking at the goal getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but wonder if this would be his only chance to lift the Champions League trophy in his life.

As he was dribbling forward with big strides and no reservations, Ferdinand faced the approaching Charles, like a gate, and began to move towards him, trying to force him to the sideline.

At the same time, Giggs caught up with Charles the moment he slowed down and was only half a body length behind him.

Just as he stretched out his foot to kick the ball away, Charles also completed his spell pre-swing.

"call out--"

The ball flapped its wings in the air, drawing a cold and bright arc like moonlight reflected on a knife blade.

Vidic's defensive instinct made him feel something was wrong, and he quickly fell to the ground and slid - this was not to intercept the ball in the air, but to block the shooting angle of Messi who was running forward.

Ferguson sat in the chair, chewing the gum in his mouth faster and faster.

Manchester United's level one alert has been sounded!
Vidic didn't have time to feel the grass beneath him. He opened his eyes wide as the ball passed by him mercilessly and landed at Messi's feet.

"Snapped."

Messi took a step forward with his right foot, and Van der Sar lowered his head and stood in front of the goal, staring at the ball fiercely. In his eyes, he saw Messi stretching out his left foot, and gently padding the ball with the instep.

Van der Sar subconsciously fell back and opened his arms to grab the ball.

However, the ball was like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, and he was like a monkey trying to pick the moon, watching in vain as the ball mercilessly hit the goal post and finally bounced into the net.

"Barcelona 1:0 Manchester United."

"Eight minutes ago, Barcelona was having a really hard time playing. They couldn't control the ball, while the opponent's Cristiano Ronaldo kept attacking with all his might."

"But no one expected that at this moment, the strength of the offense and defense would change instantly."

"The all-conquering Vidic and the all-conquering Van der Sar were defeated at the same time."

"Before this, Manchester United had five shots against Barcelona, ​​but they were all just a little short."

"And this was Barcelona's first shot. It only took three passes to get the ball past Edwin van der Sar."

"Okay, the director gave the replay of the goal."

"For this goal, Charles's handling of the ball was crucial. Logically, this was his first time participating in the Champions League, and everyone would be more or less nervous." "In the opening period, Barcelona's performance was not very good, maybe this was the reason."

"But with more and more defensive players around him, Charles seemed to be getting more and more excited. His vision was as exaggerated as ever. He could pass such a deadly ball while dribbling at high speed."

“And at this time, as Charles expected, Messi also appeared in the position he directed.”

An excited Messi rushed to the corner area, and his teammates on the bench all stood up and raised their hands high on the sidelines.

Charles stood there to adjust his breathing. The cheers from the entire South Stand at this time were like a landslide and tsunami.

"Messi!"

"Messi!!"

"Messi!!!"

Messi noticed that Charles was still standing there to catch his breath, and ran over from the corner area excitedly.

"Come on up, I'll carry you."

Ciel felt like he had recovered and jumped on Messi without hesitation, "Go, go, go!"

Messi carried Charles on his back and ran steadily to the south stand.

"Great, great," Guardiola's tie fluttered in the wind, and he smiled from ear to ear, holding Vilanova's shoulders. "I knew we could do it, Tito, and no one could stop us."

Giggs pulled Vidic up from the ground and looked at Charles sitting on Messi's back with some headache.

Before the game, they had made detailed arrangements on how to target Messi and other Barcelona players.

But sometimes things are just like this. Just because you make arrangements and preparations, you won’t get any results.

Just before this goal, they all thought that their arrangement had worked, because Barcelona did not play the passing and controlling style that they were proud of.

Although everyone knows that Barcelona has strong offensive capabilities, no one expected that the situation would change immediately at this moment.

What's even more terrifying is that he seemed to see the shadow of his former teammate Beckham in the No. 17 kid at Barcelona.

"Come on, even though we let them score a goal, we still have 80 minutes," Giggs put all this behind him and gathered all the players on the field together.

"For Manchester United, for glory, come on, come on, come on!"

Re-opening.

After Manchester United kicked off, the ball was passed back all the way and finally reached O'Shea's feet.

At this time, the Barcelona trident did not all charge forward again at once. Messi and Eto'o switched positions again, and one of them pressed forward.

Charles is in midfield.

Messi kept wandering in front of Manchester United's defense. If I must describe it, it was like a sheepdog.

The ball was like a lamb, and after being passed by O'Shea, it shuttled between the feet of Manchester United's defenders.

Charles saw the opportunity and when the ball reached Vidic's feet, he no longer stayed in the midfield, but moved forward flexibly.

When Vidic saw that Messi and Charles not only blocked the passing route but also seemed to be pressing, he didn't think too much and passed the ball back to goalkeeper Van der Sar.

The ball went out of bounds.

Manchester United panicked.

Charles shook his head. After all, football is a human game and will be affected by the psychological factors of the players.

Now after scoring the goal, Barcelona will play better and better, but with such influence, there will definitely be many mistakes.

Corner kick for Barcelona.

Iniesta took the ball thrown by the ball boy and wiped it.

Manchester United players looked at Charles standing leisurely outside the penalty area and always felt that they smelled a conspiracy.

Van der Sar glanced at Charles and suddenly recalled the video the goalkeeper coach had shown him not long ago, "Evra, you stay with Charles--"

Evra nodded, trotted over to Charles, and put his hand on Charles' waist.

Charles turned his head and asked, "Is this the hobby of your Premier League team?"

"No," Evra shook his head, "I'll put my hand down as long as you don't run."

As the referee blew the whistle, before Iniesta kicked the ball out, Charles sprinted forward without hesitation.

Evra cursed inwardly, and when he felt something in his hand, he rushed out with Charles.

Van der Sar's eyes involuntarily turned to Charles.

At this moment, when he was about to rush to the end line with Charles, Iniesta kicked the ball out. He realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Just as he turned around, the ball had already been passed to the penalty spot, where players from Barcelona and Manchester United were in a fierce battle.

Eto'o rushed out first, and Van der Sar quickly adjusted his posture. Just when he thought Eto'o was about to take a shot, he didn't expect Eto'o to open his legs and let the ball go.

The ball rolled backwards again, and Puyol was about to stop the ball, but Vidic saw this and blocked Puyol first. By the time Puyol got rid of Vidic, the ball had already rolled out.

Busquets stopped the ball before it went out of bounds, and when he looked up, he saw Anderson, the obstacle, standing between him and the goal.

Manchester United's alarm sounded again.

Ferguson's expression was calm, his face was still red as usual, and he was still chewing gum as usual, but where no one could see, his clenched hands were trembling slightly.

While Busquets was dribbling the ball back and forth outside the penalty area, Charles followed him and kept adjusting his position.

Charles, who was standing almost behind everyone, boldly raised his right hand. Seeing this, Busquets remained expressionless, but he lifted the ball up neatly with his feet.

"boom--"

Manchester United's air raid alarm was sounded. Vidic was in the crowd, looking at the ball above his head, and kicked hard with both feet.

But just a little bit, the ball brushed his hair, and the boat had passed through thousands of mountains and arrived in front of Charles again.

At this time, the Manchester United players immediately turned around, looking at Charles with bloodshot eyes as he stopped the ball with his chest in one go, letting the ball fall neatly, and then leaned his body.

In Charles' peripheral vision, he saw Evra running towards him with big strides. Seeing this, Charles first stretched out his hand to ask Evra to keep his distance.

Then he twisted his whole body backwards and kicked the ball with his right foot.

"Snapped."

Van der Sar made a wrong judgment at the first moment, and could only dive hard to try to stop the ball.

But the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air again, as illusory as a mirage, and he missed it.

Barcelona 2:0 Manchester United.
