It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 70 70 Absolute Protagonist (Daily Transition)

Charles couldn't stop laughing.

Valdes's ball sense is not as good as Eto'o's, and there is a big height difference between the two, so Valdes has to adjust more than twice before he can continue to launch an attack.

However, Eto'o usually stops the ball with his chest first, then picks it up with his left foot and heads it to complete the process of "receiving the ball - counterattack".

Sometimes, he can even complete a counterattack with just a header.

Soon, in less than two minutes, Valdés was already two goals behind.

"No, I request a substitution. It's really unfair to let the goalkeeper and the striker compete against each other."

Valdez shook his head and started to act like a spoiled brat.

Guardiola picked up the ball with a smile, "Okay, then our goalkeeper, who do you want to choose to replace you?"

Valdes didn't hesitate at all, "Charles, Charles, come here quickly."

Ciel climbed up from the yoga mat without any hesitation, "Watch me."

Eto'o threw the ball with a smile, and then touched his forehead in the same way and hit the ball over again.

Charles stepped back and picked up the ball, his eyes fixed on it while taking small steps forward.

When you see the ball is in about the right position, just head it in and dunk it.

The ball was moving extremely fast. In the first half it was like an arrow shot from a bow, flat and sharp. But as time went on, the ball fell faster and faster.

Eto'o stared at the ball closely, retreated slightly, bent his knees and squatted, his whole body tilted, and instead of stopping the ball, he directly nodded with his head.

"boom--"

Charles turned around, stretched out his right foot to meet the ball and kicked it up. Just when everyone subconsciously thought that Charles would continue to adjust and finally counterattack with his head.

Unexpectedly, before the ball fell, he twisted his body and hit the center of the ball with his right foot.

Volley!

The ball drew an arc, fast and sharp, and flew directly towards Eto'o's chest.

It was difficult for Eto'o to adjust his strength in this position, and the ball hit his chest and bounced out.

"woo woo woo woo!"

"Ahahahaha!"

"hihihihi——"

Valdes stood up domineeringly, patted his chest and let out a monkey cry.

In addition to him, there was also the roar of Wukong, and all kinds of noises appeared, and the entire activity center was like a zoo.

Just when Charles and his teammates were having a great time, various newspapers were reporting on Barcelona's victory over Lyon.

L'Equipe: "The last time Barcelona scored five goals in a single game was two months ago. The Red and Blue Army finally had another hearty victory tonight."

"But in addition to the joy, Barcelona's defensive loopholes were once again exposed. Zidane predicted before the game that the two sides would play 2-2. Now it seems that he at least guessed correctly that Lyon could score twice at the Nou Camp."

"Lyon's two goals hit Barcelona's two weak spots. At the beginning of the season, Barcelona did a good job in set-piece attack and defense, but recently the Catalan team has repeatedly lost points in this area."

Mundo Deportivo: "Charles played a full match for the first time, and in the Champions League for the first time, and he scored four goals, almost dominating the game." "Whether it was at the Gerland Stadium or at the Nou Camp, Charles was the absolute protagonist."

"In order to avoid Grosso's 'persecution', Messi stayed in the middle for a long time; Eto'o was targeted by the opponent's two central defenders; Iniesta was even more closely guarded, and he alone caused four Lyon players to receive yellow cards."

"In this situation, Charles bravely stepped into the dragon's den and proved once again why he is still the best player despite the low playing time."

"Daily Sports": "Guardiola remains humble and attributes the reasons to himself when the team performs poorly."

“And when the team plays well, he gives the credit to the players.”

"Guardiola was in the interview saying: 'We played very well tonight, we played a great game.'"

"'But those two goals and the last few minutes of the second half showed that we were not perfect.'"

"'We've played some really good football and some really good games before, and this was just one of those games.'"

"'But I hope that the spirit shown by the whole team tonight can help us go further on the road to winning the championship.'"

Manchester Evening News: "Among Barcelona's recent 13 goals, most were lost from set pieces, with the Red and Blue Army losing 1 penalty, 2 corners and 1 direct free kick."

"The second most common culprit was being conceded by the opponent's wing and midfield attacks and long shots. These two items resulted in a total of three goals conceded."

"In addition, Aguero broke through Barcelona's goal twice with his personal speed, while Valdés made a mistake and gave De La Pena a big gift."

"It is not difficult to see from the above data that set pieces, long shots and wing defense are Barcelona's biggest problems at the moment, which are also Manchester United's strengths."

"The Red Devils not only have heavy hitters like Ronaldo and Scholes, but stars like Vidic and Ferdinand are also strong points in set-piece attacks."

"Left-back Sylvinho is Barcelona's biggest weakness. Ronaldo playing against him will cut his value in half."

"Puyol will be injured in the second half of the season, and Abidal will take more than a month to return. Guardiola should probably start praying from now on that they don't face Manchester United, at least in the next round..."

Kicker: "Guardiola singled out his players for special praise in the interview. But the Barcelona coach did not offer more odes to Charles, Messi and Eto'o."

"'I'd like to give a special shout out to Sylvinho, I'm delighted with his performance tonight.'"

"'Of course, Busquets' talent and outstanding performance will never go unnoticed, he made a huge contribution to the team's victory, and he also knows that without the team nothing can be achieved.'"

"'As for Pique, he's had a great season. He's still young and I'm sure he'll continue to grow.'"

"When the reporter asked, 'How do you evaluate Charles' performance?' Guardiola smiled and shook his head without saying anything."

Daily Mail: "On the night at Camp Nou, we saw a smart and elegant Charles. In the duel between Benzema and Messi, Charles became the best protagonist."

"Messi is doing great and Benzema is famous, but Charles is the rising star."

"Maybe Guardiola is right to use Charles and Messi correctly, giving them more rest time instead of wasting their precious energy in unimportant leagues."

"Barcelona has an obligation to protect Charles. They made the right choice by hiring bodyguards, professional chefs and doctors for Charles."

"A momentary bloom is indeed stunning, but only a long-lasting bloom will be remembered."
