It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 112 Hilbert's Outline
O'Shea lifted the ball high and hesitated.

Now Barcelona's defense is all in position. Park Ji-sung, Ronaldo and Rooney are all surrounded by Barcelona's midfielders and defenders, and are not suitable to receive the ball at all.

Carrick was right in front of him, very close, but that also meant that Charles was nearby.

After thinking about it, O'Shea finally threw the ball to the backcourt.

There is still time and there is no need to take risks to score goals.

Ferdinand gently pushed the ball to Giggs before Henry could intercept it.

Giggs did not rush to pass the ball, but waited for Busquets to stretch his foot to grab the ball. He quickly turned around to protect the ball, avoided Busquets with his left foot, and passed the ball back to Ferdinand with his right foot the moment after receiving the ball.

Messi still wanted to intercept, but Ferdinand didn't give him the chance at all. Just like the wrinkles naturally created by wind blowing across the surface of a lake, he tapped the ball with the outside of his right foot, and the ball changed direction again.

When Ronaldo turned around to receive the ball, although he blocked Messi and Eto'o behind him, Xavi was still eyeing him in front of him.

Charles observed the situation on the field and ran directly to Anderson, while controlling the connection between him and Park Ji-sung.

After seeing that his route was blocked, Ronaldo moved to the left and leaned to the right. He saw Busquets not far away in his peripheral vision, so he used the inside of his left foot to scrape the ball towards the far corner of the goal while supporting his body with his right foot and jumped up.

With just such a flash of inspiration, the ball successfully avoided the defending Busquets, but when Ronaldo jumped uncontrollably to the left, the ball brushed past Valdes' gloves and bounced out of the baseline.

Manchester United corner.

Under Valdes' arrangement, Charles wiped the sweat from his head and stood on the small penalty area line with two other teammates.

Eto'o and Messi surrounded Ronaldo and stood in the front position.

The other players stood on the penalty area line.

With the referee's whistle, Manchester United players took a corner kick. Charles was pushed forward by other players. At this time, the ball was like the oars of a boatman sitting on a small boat, and the air on the scene was like the green water waves.

"Gudong."

I don’t know if it was the sound of the oars sliding on the water or the tense atmosphere at the scene, but in the crowd, Ronaldo jumped high and headed the flying ball.

"boom."

The ball flew high and finally fell unwillingly after passing the crossbar.

"For this goal, Ronaldo was too impatient and didn't head it well."

"Sometimes wanting to win too much is not a good thing. It's like making a fire for cooking. If you use too much force, the rice at the bottom of the pot may have been cooked into a crust, but the rice at the top is still not cooked."

"In the first 10 minutes, although Manchester United didn't score, at least their shots were within the goal frame."

"But now, Manchester United's shots are getting further and further away from the goal frame."

"In order to score goals, Charles, as a midfielder, will often choose to pass the ball to his teammates; Messi will also choose to retreat to deliver ammunition to his teammates and create more opportunities."

"Playing football requires patience and not being impatient."

By now, Barcelona players have almost digested Guardiola's enthusiasm.

Facing Barcelona's precise passing and control, Manchester United was simply helpless.

"Barcelona are playing in their own style now. The ball didn't move forward much, but Manchester United couldn't get it even if they wanted to."

In the continuous passing of the ball, Charles once again received the pass from his teammate.

At this time, all of Manchester United's players have been reorganized, and their current positions are basically close to the lineup at the beginning of the game.

Xavi looked at Charles standing on the wing and Carrick beside him, and without much hesitation, he rubbed the ball with his right foot.

"boom--"

As if it was an accurate shot, the ball accurately dodged Manchester United's midfielder and came in front of Charles in the blink of an eye.

Charles quickly got out from beside Carrick, and after stopping the ball with his left foot, he did not choose to advance with the ball, but passed the ball forward again.

Just as Charles passed the ball to Henry, he was also making a crazy forward run.

Carrick felt that something was wrong when he saw this, and when he was about to run forward with Charles subconsciously, he stood between Henry and Charles.

At this time, Charles was about to run parallel to Manchester United's defense line. After seeing this, he immediately changed direction and ran towards the side.

At this moment, Henry also pushed the ball in sync.

The ball bypassed Carrick, who was half a step slow in reacting due to passive defense. After Charles received the ball, the entire Manchester United defense line moved forward.

Van der Sar looked at Charles, who was almost in a one-on-one situation, with trepidation, and kept recalling Charles' shooting habits in the cheat sheet he had prepared.

Charles glanced at Van der Sar and checked the situation of his other teammates.

Not long ago, when Charles passed the ball to Henry, Eto'o and Messi could almost be said to be living in Manchester United's defense.

But just after Charles received the pass from Henry, Messi rushed too fast and is now offside.

Carrick was still unwilling to give up. Just when O'Shea stretched out his foot in front of Charles, Charles pushed the ball out with his left foot, avoiding O'Shea's foot.

At this moment, before Charles could adjust himself, Carrick had already taken advantage of the opportunity when Charles was delayed by O'Shea to close the distance.

Just as he was about to reach out and grab Charles, Charles lightly stepped on the ball with the front of his right foot, jumped slightly with his left foot, and at the same time, his right foot passed over the ball, driving the ball to move outward.

Just as Carrick was moving towards the ball, Charles hooked the ball with the toe of his right foot and moved it to the left at the moment his left foot landed.

Seeing this, Carrick wanted to intercept the ball but he was one step too slow. Charles got rid of him and kicked the ball hard with his left foot.

"call out--"

The swan goose flies for a long time, and the fish and dragon dive into the water.

The ball passed the congested center and flew directly to Eto'o.

However, Eto'o did not react for a moment to Charles' pass that almost crossed half the field. It was during this moment of hesitation that Evra rushed up.

In a hurry, Eto'o shot directly without stopping the ball, but failed to control the ball.

The ball eventually flew straight over the crossbar.

"Oh, what a pity! If Eto'o had been able to react this time, maybe he would have scored."

"It was mainly because there were too many people in the middle. With the ball in hand and his vision, Charles could pass the ball wherever he wanted."

"But Eto'o was different just now. He was so far away that he didn't react at all. He was not mentally prepared, so he made a mistake when shooting just now."

Ferguson was standing on the sidelines. When he saw what had just happened, he instantly felt his blood pressure soar and his head was buzzing. "Do you think being 3:0 behind at halftime is enough? Guard him, guard him, don't give him space to kick!"

Ferguson finally turned on his hair dryer, but perhaps because the space on the field was too large, the effect was not very good.

In the next ten minutes or so, Manchester United's midfield was poorly organized, so the attack was sporadic. Barcelona, ​​while taking control of the ball, took the opportunity to put pressure on Manchester United's defense.

The ball went out of bounds again.

Puyol picked up the ball, Carrick patted his clothes, and stood beside Charles tremblingly.

Just as Puyol threw the ball to Eto'o, Evra rushed directly to him to press.

Just as Charles was moving subconsciously, O'Shea saw this and came over, surrounding Charles together with Carrick.

After receiving the ball, Eto'o tapped the ball with his heel and passed it to Xavi.

When Xavi received the pass from Eto'o, he saw Anderson behind him. He turned around to protect the ball and bypassed Anderson. At the same time, he also saw Charles who had just run to the middle.

Xavi took a look and immediately passed the ball.

As soon as Charles stopped the ball with his right foot, Carrick and O'Shea immediately flashed in front of Charles.

As he was double-teamed, Charles pushed the ball inwards with the inside of his right foot and leaned his body.

When Carrick saw this, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and bent his left knee downward, trying to stop Charles.

But at this time, while Charles pushed the ball to the right with the inside of his left foot, facing Carrick's descending interception, he turned to the right while supporting his body with his right foot, avoiding Carrick's foot in a very small space.

Just after Charles escaped from Carrick with the ball, O'Shea once again appeared diagonally in front of him. Seeing this, Charles made a quick decision and kicked the ball directly with the inside of his right foot.

At the same time, almost in a millisecond, O'Shea also made a bold sliding tackle towards the ball, but the moment he slid down, he regretted it.

Because he saw the ball was already in front of him like a ripe dandelion, blown by the wind, flying gently and softly just past his face.

Van der Sar lowered his head to face Charles and saw that Charles picked up the ball just before O'Shea tackled it.

The ball drew an arc in the air and accurately found Messi standing in the crowd.

Messi, who was standing with other Manchester United defensive players, subconsciously shook his head, and the ball was like a fish hit by a stick, rushing towards the goal in a daze.

But seeing it doesn't mean being able to do it. Now he is just like a cat behind a layer of ice, wishing to catch the fish under the ice. He clearly wants to catch the "fish", but he just can't do it.

The ball hit the goal post and then bounced in without hesitation.

The moment the ball bounced into the goal, not only the fans on the field and the players on the bench fell into ecstasy again, but even the Spanish reporters cheered wildly, seeming to be even more fanatical than the fans.

"The ball is in!"

"In the 44th minute, Barcelona scored another goal."

"Everyone on the field performed their duties well. Manchester United's players have fulfilled their responsibilities, but they never thought that the goal they guarded would be breached again."

"It's like Hilbert proposed a mathematical program in 1920, hoping to use the method of finitism to prove the consistency of infinite ideal mathematics."

"In Hilbert's vision, humans would eventually be able to create a mathematical machine that could deduce countless mathematical theorems step by step based on correct axioms."

“In his thinking, as long as he starts from axioms that are indisputably true, his inferences and conclusions will be correct and perfect.”

"Just like the Manchester United players today."

"As long as they follow the pre-match arrangements and execute every step perfectly, they will get the best results."

"But reality, the pillars of Hilbert's outline, were all torn down one by one by a young mathematician."

"The young mathematician Gödel broke Hilbert's beautiful vision with sub(n,n,17), just like Charles on the field today broke the good wishes of Manchester United players with his incredible pass."

"Just like exploring the ocean of mathematics requires a flash of genius, football is also a game of art and also requires a flash of genius."

"And when they have a flash of inspiration, it's like when the Manchester United players were in pain."

"We can't deny Hilbert's greatness, just like we can't deny the excellence of Manchester United players."

"But such excellence pales in comparison to Charles."

"At this moment, our Red Devils, the moment they put on the white jersey, seemed to have decided the fate of the game."

"They are not Real Madrid, but at this moment, the Red Devils running in their blood have faded."

Messi touched his head and turned around in disbelief.

Header?!
As for his heading ability, although his predictive ability is there, his "pure heading" ability is definitely not low, but due to physical limitations, the number of goals he can score will definitely not be many.

But what he didn't expect was that in the Champions League final, he actually scored a header at the end of the first half.

"Carrick, Carrick—"

Just as the Barcelona players were celebrating, Ferguson called his disciples.

"Messi is not a problem for us, you know what the problem is?"

Carrick ran for so long, looked at Ferguson with a red face and shook his head.

Ferguson pointed at Charles who was huddled together with his teammates on the field and said, "Look at him. Xavi and Charles have been controlling the ball all night. It was difficult for us to play. Now they have made good use of the ball possession advantage and we can't get the ball back."

"Now, we have to strangle one of them and disrupt their passing and receiving stability. Only then will we have a chance to turn the tables in the next game. Do you understand?"

Carrick seems to be unknown on the court, but he is the initiator of the team's offense and controls the rhythm of Manchester United on the court.

He can provide a barrier for the defense like Busquets, and control the rhythm of the game like Pirlo. He can be said to be a midfield master.

"Okay, boss, I get it. I won't give him a chance to kick."

Carrick nodded and turned firmly to look at Ciel.

Although this is difficult, Carrick, who inherited Roy Keane's jersey, will try his best to do it no matter how difficult the request is.

Guardiola didn't really care whether the old man opposite was using the hair dryer.

Vilanova opened his notebook and began to circle and draw. "He is too superstitious about Giggs and Ronaldo."

"It's not that Giggs is no longer able to play, it's just that Carrick and Anderson have to run around facing Charles and Xavi to make up for Giggs's responsibilities," Guardiola nodded, "but isn't this a good thing for us?"
