It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 149 147 Benzema: It's all Charles' fault

"A great sound is silent, an elephant is invisible. Charles used a freehand heel pass to break the iron wall of the Bat Army!"

"Just when everyone suspected that Charles was not in good shape because he did not get enough rest, Charles once again proved himself with his incredible performance."

"Seeing this, I wonder if anyone else is reminded of something Bruce Lee said in a talk show in 1971, just like me."

"I still remember the beginning: A good martial artist is like water. Why? Because water is invisible."

“Even if we build a house, we still worry when we hear the sound of rain hitting the roof when it rains.”

"Whether it's a thatched house from thousands of years ago, a tiled house from hundreds of years ago, or a concrete building today, the rain dripping from the roof, the rain seeping into the wall from the roof, or the invisible rain in the air during the rainy season..."

"Silver arrows and golden pots leak a lot of water. I get up and watch the autumn moon fall into the river waves."

"From ancient times to the present, our iron walls have never been able to completely stop the intrusion of rain, just like Valencia today cannot stop the violent storm called Charles."

Charles was surrounded by his teammates and came to the away fans' stand.

Before they even got close, the fans who came with the team were already waving their flags and scarves in ecstasy.

They were not allowed to lose to Real Madrid at any place.

在29-30、90-91和97-98三个赛季他们曾经取得了开局六连胜，但是该死的皇马也有三个赛季开局连续7连胜以上，比他们还多。

But they firmly believe that under the leadership of Guardiola, they will be able to show off their strength in front of Real Madrid.

"Charle! Iniesta!"

"Charle!! Iniesta!!"

"Charle!!! Iniesta!!!"

Hefren couldn't help but get excited about his teammates who were conquering the field.

"How are they? Are my new pants good?"

Hearing this, Charles almost laughed out loud.

Puyol's curly hair, which was ruined by Benzema's express delivery last time, looked even curlier after hearing what Hefren said.

"Damn it, no one's wearing your pants right now!"

Puyol shouted at Hefren.

"Okay," Hefren looked a little depressed and wanted to say something, but after looking at Guardiola's expressionless face, he finally shut his mouth.

Although he is a member of Barcelona's youth training, if he wants to gain a foothold in the locker room, it depends more on his strength.

He wants to integrate into the first-team locker room, but currently he is just a substitute, so sometimes he will find some topics to talk more with his teammates.

Moreover, Guardiola is very enthusiastic most of the time and is willing to be close to the players. He has a close relationship with people like Messi, Charles, and Iniesta, and sometimes they are like friends.

But he is the main player.

Even if he is a main player, he doesn't dare to be as crazy as Ibrahimovic.

Guardiola didn't pay attention to what Hefren said. Although Charles is also a young player, he can't expect all young players to be like him.

Compared to Hefren, what is more worrying for him now is how to deal with Ibrahimovic.

He still remembers that when he first talked to Ibrahimovic, he told him that players could not drive Ferraris to the training ground.

At the beginning, Ibrahimovic was indeed very obedient and did not drive the Ferrari.

But this morning, Zlatan Ibrahimovic not only drove his Ferrari to the training ground, he also parked it in front of his office!

Guardiola touched his head with a headache.

Looking at the players laughing on the court, I couldn't help but sigh.

It would be great if all players, youth players were as obedient as Messi, and foreign players were as sensible as Charles.

Look at Charles, he never makes any demands for his playing time. Everyone listens to him and sits on the bench when he is asked to.

But looking at the situation on the field, Valencia's players, as Barcelona's opponents, were not in such a good mood.

Looking at Charles being celebrated by his teammates, Albert still hasn't recovered.

As a tough midfielder of Valencia, if he were to face Charles one-on-one, he believed that with his intercepting ability, only one of Charles' balls would be able to pass between the two of them.

And just now, when Toure passed the ball to Charles, it was obvious that everyone's positioning was very good. It was obvious that if they had waited just one or half a second longer, Barcelona's attack would have come to nothing under their stranglehold.

But, I really can't stop it.

Alberta considered himself a man of strong will, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel exhausted.

Their coach carefully prepared and analyzed the technical characteristics and defensive focus of all Barcelona's players before the game, and the prepared information was like building a dam.

They also worked on the field according to the drawings given by the coach, which was quite effective at the beginning and the dam looked very solid.

Then Ciel came.

It seemed as if he had done nothing but slightly bumped the dam, and then the dam collapsed.

Valencia restarts the game.

With a whistle, Mata passed the ball back, but as the ball moved backwards, Barcelona players also moved forward with the ball.

Bruno didn't have time to think too much and could only follow his inner thoughts and kick the ball hard.

Then this gift package from the sky was delivered directly to Pique's feet.

This time, Charles did not run to the middle, but stayed on the sidelines.

Valencia's defense is still as tight as before, and it seems to be affected by the previous goal. Their defense is like being coated with a layer of waterproof paint.

The moment Charles received the pass from Xavi, Matthew, Silva and Bruno worked together to surround him.

Just as Silva moved sideways and was about to snatch the ball from Charles' feet, he had just taken half a step when Charles' left foot had already hit the ball and passed it back.

Sometimes when faced with a roof coated with waterproof material and rainwater wants to seep in, the best way is to let the materials pull against each other to create gaps.

After some tug of war, Abidal passed the ball to Keita again.

Keita took a few steps with the ball and passed it directly to Iniesta.

At the same time, Charles was not idle either, but entered the penalty area from behind without hesitation.

With Iniesta holding the ball and ready to break through at any time on one side and Charles confidently breaking into the penalty area on the other, Valencia's defense was thrown into chaos for a while.

In this brief moment of confusion, Iniesta kicked the ball.

"call out--"

Goalkeeper Cesar only felt like a white light flying past his eyes, and its trajectory was very much like the shape of a reed.

At the end of the white light, Charles leaned forward, swung his arms, and kicked the ball hard with his right foot.

In an instant, the bunch of reeds seemed to be blown away by the wind.

There was clearly only one ball on the field, but all the Valencia players didn't know whether the ball was flying to Messi in the front or to Toure at the back!

The battle of Xiangyang was at the gate of hell, and the prime minister was chilled in the early morning.

Soon, Toure's jump answered the question.

Cesar had no time to react. He just felt a strong wind blowing across his face and subconsciously closed his eyes.

Just when I didn't want to open my eyes because of the pain, I suddenly heard my teammate's sigh of relief.

When he opened his eyes, Cesar almost cried for joy.

The ball didn't go in!

God still favors him.

Toure touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I missed the target this time. If I had known, I should have practiced heading more before training."

"It's okay, we're still ahead," Charles said with a smile, "We still have a lot of time."

Guardiola frowned on the sidelines.

It’s true that Charles likes to feed the ball to his teammates. This time he passed the ball very well and his handling of the ball in a very short time was impeccable. But did Charles like to feed the ball too much today?
Guardiola just stretched out his hand to call Charles over, looked at the time, and finally withdrew his hand.

Forget it, geniuses always have their own ideas and understanding of playing football, and what Charles did was also reasonable. He should be given more freedom to grow.

【Charlotte Bar】

"I thought the ball went in at first, but I saw it go through the back of the net and I realized Toure missed the target."

"Didn't Real Madrid lose to Sevilla in the last round? How come Valencia still can't beat Barcelona after the international break?" "Charles played like an iron man for the national team. He kept going to the hospital after returning to the club last season. How come he looks so strong now? He doesn't even have to worry about the 25-minute mark?"

"There is only one truth, and that is Benzema!"

"How to say?"

"You didn't watch the match between Real Madrid and Valladolid? Benzema's performance was not good in the last round against Sevilla, but Charles managed to survive for 25 minutes. So far in this match, Benzema has fired two high shots, but look at Charles' current state, he is full of energy."

"I see. Benzema's performance was not good. It was all Charles' fault! No wonder Charles was feeding Benzema like crazy when he was on the national team."

"No way, there are people who really believe it?"

"But putting aside other things, although one of them is in Barcelona and the other is in Real Madrid, they still have many similarities, that is, their status is stable enough."

"Nonsense, how can it be unstable? Benzema was brought in by the old man himself. The former Real Madrid sports director Mijatovic has been arrested. There are countless outrageous transfers in the past three seasons. Now there are countless players in Real Madrid who have problems with transfers and loans."

……

Xavi kicked the ball towards Charles, and Bruno made a diagonal move.

Just when he was wondering how Charles was going to get past him, he didn't expect that Charles simply transferred the ball to his right foot and then passed it directly to Toure.

Bruno could only curse in his heart. After seeing Charles's running position, he quickly shouted to his teammates: "Silva, follow him! Albelda, pay attention to defense."

Hearing his teammates' calls, Silva immediately stuck to Charles.

At the same time, Toure took the ball and shot directly. The ball drew a full arc in the air again, but Albelda, who was reminded, immediately blocked in front of Messi the moment he touched the ball.

"Snapped!"

Albelda raised himself high, blocked Barcelona's attack loophole with his head, and then sprinted with the ball.

Xavi rushed forward to intercept the ball immediately, but Albelda dribbled the ball, created space and immediately passed the ball to Silva.

At this time, Barcelona's defense was already in place. Facing Barcelona's iron midfield, Silva simply couldn't find a suitable space to pass the ball forward.

He was not Charles after all.

Just when he had no choice but to pass the ball back, the ball was intercepted by Charles.

"Oh, Valencia had no counterattack point in the frontcourt just now. When they had the ball in the midfield, Barcelona had already blocked all the space for them to pass the ball forward."

"Silva had no choice but to take a step back, but when he passed the ball back, Charles intercepted it."

"When you watch Charles' games, no matter which one, there is a very distinct common feature, that is, he is particularly good at seizing opportunities."

"Valencia is in danger. Charles didn't make any adjustments and passed the ball directly to Messi. When Valencia counterattacked, the backcourt was empty—"

"Messi, shoot!"

"Cesar attacked decisively and rushed out."

"Charles followed up with a shot from behind... the goalkeeper didn't have time to save it a second time, the ball went in!"

"Oh, what a pity! The referee blew the whistle and the ball was offside."

When Cesar heard the whistle, he couldn't help but touch his chest.

This goal came too fast, is this the strength of a champion?

Valencia had finally gotten the ball and was planning a counterattack, but unexpectedly, the ball was at Silva's feet one second and had already run away with Charles the next.

The game continues.

Albelda dribbled the ball and tried to pass it to Matthew, but Alves took a step forward, got in front of Matthew and headed the ball.

Silva and Toure rushed towards the ball together, and Toure was the better player in the end.

Just as Silva turned around, Xavi flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, and Toure, who came around Silva, caught up with the ball and hit it hard on the top.

Feeding Charles a goal is as easy as drinking water. Just give him the ball and you can get the answer to scoring a goal from him instantly.

"Snapped--"

Charles stretched out his foot to stop the ball steadily. Silva, Albelda and Matthew gritted their teeth and ran straight towards Charles.

Charles looked at the situation on the field and deliberately ran to the middle to leave space for Xavi to move forward.

In his peripheral vision, he noticed Silva running diagonally as if he was going to make a tackle. Charles did not make any unnecessary movements, but simply kicked the ball with his left foot.

There were obviously more Valencia fans in the stands than Barcelona fans, but time and again in these tense and critical moments, they were unable to speak up.

Their defense was indeed like being coated with waterproof paint, but Charles simply didn't buy it. Under his pulling and stirring, their players were exhausted, and the so-called "waterproofing" turned into "leaking"!
If this happened to Real Madrid, they would definitely be grinning from ear to ear.

After all, how much you loved someone in the past, how much you hate them now.

But now this scene happened to their home team.

After receiving the ball, Xavi kept looking back, and after seeing Charles successfully break into the Valencia penalty area, he directly kicked the ball into the middle.

Bruno had no time to intercept, and the ball flew up again in an exaggerated arc, directly bypassing their "Maginot Line" and accurately finding Charles.

Albert was anxious and jumped up directly, trying to clear the ball. Even if he failed, he could still use himself to interfere with Charles' actions.

But what he didn't expect was that just as he was about to jump, he suddenly felt a shadow above his head, as if something suddenly flew above him!

Frightened, Albert didn't dare to look up.

What he didn't know was that amid the exclamations, Charles flew over his head like a Pampas eagle and hit the ball hard!
Cesar looked at the scene in amazement. Not only him but all the Valencia players seemed to be petrified, standing there in a daze.

And in the midst of disbelief, the ball flew into the goal with unparalleled power.

"The ball goes in! Charles scores another goal for Barcelona!"

"If we used wisdom to break through Valencia's defense before, then this goal was completely a case of using force to break through cleverness."

"Valencia's defence was good, but Charles was so strong that he overpowered them. Albert was still trying to figure out what was going to fly over his head when the ball went in."

"No matter which type it is, it's hard to defend against a defensive player. If you use both soft and hard tactics, he won't be affected. If you are an iron wall, he will outsmart you... That's why everyone says that Ciel is hard to defend."

"If he wants to dribble past you, he'll use fake moves all over his body. If he doesn't dribble past you, a single pass will tear your defense apart in an instant."

"One-on-one, he is invincible; one-on-many, he can move away. It's just that invincible."

"Now, if you want to limit him, the best thing is to hope that he is in bad condition or Guardiola replaces him."

【Charlotte Bar】

"Wow, is this what a Gallic rooster looks like when it takes flight?"

"Albert: I was so scared... What on earth was that flying over my head?"

"My God, is this the influence of hiring two more chefs? Ciel is so hardworking that he's not afraid of having to stay in the hospital."

"Maybe the national team's protection buff hasn't come through yet?"

"The Gallic rooster is showing the Pampas eagle how to take off."

“Isn’t this commentary too crazy?”

"How crazy is that? Not even as crazy as the fans in the stands."

"Speaking of which, I also want to go to a Shire match in person. People say that watching it live is different from watching it on TV, but I really don't know what the difference is."

"Tickets for Charles' games are hard to buy. If you want to go to see him live, it's probably difficult, or you have to spend a lot of money to buy scalper tickets."

"Didn't Saudi Arabia want to rent Shire for a day to play an exhibition match? What's the situation now? Will Saudi Arabia's tickets be easier to buy?"

"It's impossible for him to go. It seems that he has other plans during the winter break and will return to Ajaccio to play a friendly match."

"Wasn't he persuaded to quit by Ajaccio? Why is he still going?"

"One is the 100th anniversary of his youth training club, one is the 100th anniversary of the club where he stayed for several years, and the other is an invitation from the local municipal government. You said you would not go?"

The Valencia coach glanced at Guardiola and couldn't help but sigh.

How come this bald guy is so lucky?
If his players hadn't been injured, if the team had a little more money... If Charles was his player, he could also be a championship coach!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to comfort himself.

It must be difficult to manage a team with so many big-name players.

Otherwise, why would Guardiola go bald so quickly?

He is not sour at all.

Really, not at all.

Has Anfield struck oil recently? The news of Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool is everywhere.
