I'm 198cm tall. Are you giving me a Maradona template?

Chapter 247 It's really Barcelona
How to break through dense defense is a world-class problem.

But Liverpool is indeed not afraid of the opponent parking the bus.

Because they have the most powerful battering ram on the planet.

The second half of the game started.

Arnold received the ball on the wing.

Directly kick the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.

Within the restricted area.

Yangguang jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal.

Casillas flew to save the ball and knocked it back into the penalty area, but it was cleared by a Porto player.

Liverpool's sudden attack shocked everyone.

Especially the Porto players in the penalty area.

They looked at Yang Guang who rushed into the penalty area and scored a header in shock, and their faces became nervous.

"At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool took the lead and increased their crosses from the wing."

"Next we can see bombers taking off and bombing continuously."

The commentators also know that Liverpool don't have many options with this lineup.

Their best strategy is to take advantage of Sunshine's aerial advantage.

Just like this time just now.

Just get the ball into the box.

Next, just leave it to the sunshine.

Porto, who actively retreated to the penalty area, is now unable to effectively limit Liverpool's crosses from the flanks.

Because Liverpool's wingers don't seek to go down the flank.

As long as there is space, pass the ball immediately.

The football flew high into the penalty area.

This is actually a very inefficient tactic.

It's similar to a long pass.

Many times, it is a helpless move when various tactics fail to work.

but now.

Liverpool has turned cross-field passes into a regular tactic.

The sun rules the sky.

The fiftieth minute of the game.

Milner cooperated with Arnold on the wing and kicked the ball into the penalty area as soon as he got the space.

Within the restricted area.

Under double-teaming, Yangguang jumped high and headed the ball.

The top position is slightly straighter.

Casillas confiscated the ball.

Conceicao on the sidelines was getting a little restless.

Although Liverpool's attacks were resolved several times.

But if Yang Guang was given the opportunity to jump up and head the ball more often, he could have direct conversations with Casillas.

How many times can Casillas defend?

Conceicao frowned.

He is also getting anxious now.

It's embarrassing enough to just throw your hands up in surrender.

If you still can't hold on
That would be extremely embarrassing.

In the end, Conceicao couldn't figure out a way to deal with it.

The Porto players on the field wanted to limit Liverpool's crosses. They pressed to the wing to press Liverpool's offensive players and disrupt their crosses.

But that's what Liverpool want to see.

Intensive defense. Intensive defense.

If you pull the formation apart.

Is that still dense?
Fifty-fifth minute of the game.

Liverpool found their chance.

Klein got the ball on the wing and Porto players pressed forward.

Klein made a move to cross the ball, and just as the opponent's player made a move to block the cross.

He suddenly and secretly passed the ball through the ground!

"Positive!!!!"

to the exclamations of the narrators.

Sunshine got the ball on the edge of the penalty area
Because of fear of Yang Guang's header.

Porto players took the initiative to expand their formation to defend against the opponent's cross.

This created gaps in their dense defense.

Yangguang was very keen to see these gaps and suddenly withdrew from the penalty area.

And Klein was always watching the position of the sunlight.

When he saw Yangguang suddenly retreat, he understood what he meant and passed the ball to Yangguang on the ground.

This change in rhythm caused a little chaos in Porto's defense.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't cause them to lose the ball.

But the problem is.
The one who got the ball in this position was Sunshine.

They were only a small mess, but they were enough to make Sunshine a threat.

Yangguang got the ball with his back to the goal, then leaned back in a simple and rough manner, and entered the penalty area against two defensive players.

Outside the restricted area.

Porto's defenders also made moves.

In the restricted area.

They raised their hands almost instinctively to tell the referee that they were not doing anything with their hands.

Of course.

No action is impossible.

There are still quite a few small movements of their bodies.

But the small move wasn't enough to block out the sun.

As soon as you enter the restricted area.

The moment the pressure is relieved.

Yangguang seized the opportunity and shot with half a turn!
It caught Porto's defense off guard.

Casillas tried hard to save the ball, but it was too tricky.

The football hit the inside edge of the post and bounced into the goal.

Casillas is out of reach.

"Yang! Yang!! Ahhhh! Look at this goal! Oh! This is the typical way a center forward scores a goal!"

"Liverpool only had one player, Yang, in the penalty area, while Porto had an entire defensive line. But Yang suddenly retreated, received the ball, entered the penalty area with his back, and volleyed the ball with a half turn! This sudden change in rhythm disrupted Porto's defense in an instant!"

"Fifteenth! Fifteenth! The fifteenth goal in the Champions League this season!!"

"He has once again widened the gap between him and Messi!"

Amid the commentators' shouts.

Sunshine slid and knelt in the corner flag area.

The camera lens was fixed on him.

Everybody knows.

Porto's strategy failed.

Their efforts to stop Sunshine from scoring a goal fell through!

Conceicao sat in the coaching booth.

He couldn't help but complain to his assistant: "How can we stop him?"

The Porto players are now in a dilemma.

First of all, will they continue to hold on?
Second
If you keep it.

How are they going to defend?
Shrinking in the penalty area like a turtle, Liverpool kept passing the ball from the outside.

It is still difficult for them to ensure that their defense is foolproof.

How about limiting their crosses?
The sun is not a wooden stake.

His range of activities is wide.

And
The goal just lost was proof of that.

If Sunshine is allowed to control the ball in a dangerous area.

Porto's goal is also very dangerous.

Think about it.

The Porto players made a sad discovery.
It seems that they have little effective way to deal with the sun.

This reality makes them very depressed.

in the next game.

Porto's morale is very low.

The morale of Liverpool's players was greatly boosted. They pressed forward and launched a crazy attack.

Sunshine works very hard.

He was extremely active in the frontcourt.

The range of activities is large.

After scoring the goal, he did not stop pursuing goals.

Because of Liverpool's pressure.

So Porto doesn't have to make a choice now.

Even if they don't want to defend it to the death.

Reality also tells them cruelly that they must hold on.

at last.

Eighty minutes in the game.

Sunshine scored his second goal of the game.

The goal was his signature header.

But it was not scored through a cross from the wing, but through open play.

It was a corner kick opportunity.

He jumped high in the middle and headed the ball lightly, changing direction and going into the goal from the blind corner.

"Ah! It's incredible! Scoring two goals! In such a situation, he still scored two goals! This is his sixteenth goal in the Champions League this season! The sixteenth goal!!"

The commentator yelled at the top of his lungs.

"What else can I say? What else can I say? Is there anyone in this world who can stop him?"

"Yang——!!! This game became a one-man show for him. His two goals helped Liverpool lead Porto 2-0 at home and 6-0 in the aggregate! There is no suspense about promotion. At the same time, he also made his 15th goal tally in the Champions League this season!"

"Messi had just completed a hat trick a day ago, raising his goal tally to 13 goals, but Sunshine quickly responded with a brace! He told the world that no one can threaten him on the scorer list! Not Ronaldo! Not Messi either!"

the England commentator yelled.

"Sunshine has told the world that his goal is to win the Champions League! Will anyone doubt his determination? Under his leadership, Liverpool is heading towards the Champions League title!"

After scoring the goal, Yangguang came to the corner flag area with his arms open.

But the Liverpool players who rushed up did not let him celebrate the goal in peace.

Everyone carried him up.

Van Dijk and Matip both carried him on their shoulders.

Everyone used this method to express their shock at Sunshine's performance in this game.

"Sixteen! Sixteen!"

"You horrible creature!"

“How many Champions League goals are you going to score this season?”

"Are you going to break last season's record?"

Everyone shouted.

The Porto players looked very depressed.

Casillas stood up from the goal line.

He spat fiercely on the ground.

Should have known so.

It’s better to go for it and give it a try!

It's so fucking embarrassing!
The next ten minutes.

Yang Guang is still very active and has not stopped his pursuit of goals.

His hunger for goals is also one of the driving forces behind his continued scoring.

But he failed to score hat tricks in two consecutive Champions League knockout games - he scored five goals in two legs against Porto.

As the whistle blew to end the game.

The camera lens immediately locked onto the sunlight.

He was the undisputed best player of the game.

"The game is over! The game is over! Liverpool beat Porto 2-0 at home. With a total score of 6-0, they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!"

"Yang scored his 43th goal in the Champions League in this game. He scored goals in the Champions League last season. His total number of goals in the Champions League has reached , which is a very exaggerated number - he achieved this achievement in just two seasons. You know, many excellent forwards may not be able to score so many goals in the Champions League throughout their careers."

The commentators were shocked by Yang Guang's performance.

In the interview area.

Yangguang faced a large number of reporters.

Reporters swarmed over.

"Yang, let's talk about this game!"

"Yang, you scored twice again, how do you feel?"

"Yang, you have scored 16 Champions League goals"

"Yang, you have widened the gap between you and Messi again."

"Yang, can you tell me about your opponent in the quarterfinals?"

The reporters' questions rained down like raindrops.

So many questions.

Of course, it is impossible for Yangguang to answer all the questions one by one.

He raised his hand.

The reporters fell silent.

"It's a shame I didn't get a hat trick!"

Sunshine shrugged.

"16 goals is just the beginning, the season is not over yet."

"The opponent in the quarterfinals? It doesn't matter. Our goal is to advance anyway!"

"Messi? He is no match for me - at least in terms of goal scoring ability!"

【Yang: Messi is no match for me! 】

Yangguang's post-match interview caused a stir.

Many media outlets used his words as headlines.

Media all over the world are discussing it.

Some people think that this is Yangguang’s self-confidence, and it is also an important reason why he can achieve his current achievements.

[Sky Sports]: ".Maybe some people don't like Sunshine's aggressive personality, but if he didn't have such confidence, how could he score so many goals?"

Some media also criticized the "younger" Sunshine for not respecting Messi enough.

[Daily Sports]: ".Maybe he has scored more goals than Messi, but it is still a long way to go for him to surpass Messi in football status!"

[Mundo Deportivo]: "This kind of guy who doesn't know how to respect others won't be respected by others!!"

anyway.

This is the sunny character.

He always stirs controversy.

But one thing is undeniable.

That is.
His goal scoring ability.

Messi saw the interview with Sunshine.

"Messi is no match for me."

He stared at the words, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

"I hate this guy!"

he thought.

“But this guy is really strong!”

Messi took a deep breath.

He began to look forward to meeting Sunshine in this season's Champions League.

The topic between Sunshine and Messi was hyped up by the media.

at the same time.

The Champions League quarterfinals were also born.

Eight teams, including Sevilla, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona and Roma, have entered the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

La Liga has three teams in the quarterfinals, while there are five teams in the Premier League participating in this season's Champions League, only Liverpool and Manchester City lead the team into the quarterfinals.
This led many Spanish media to mock the Premier League teams for being "unworthy of their reputation".

Since the quarterfinals have been born.

Then the next step is to draw lots.

Considering that the topic between Messi and Sunshine is so hot.

Many people joked before the draw, saying that Liverpool and Barcelona might be drawn together.
结果
The guest responsible for the draw is Beckham.

The first team drawn was Liverpool.

Beckham then put Liverpool aside.

Then he stirred it back and forth over the large bowl containing the picks of the other seven teams.

Seeing this scene, Van Dijk couldn't help but complain: "Everyone knows that there are so many ways to do something, and you still pretend to do it..."

"You see, he grabbed a signature at the beginning."

Arnold said, pointing at Beckham on the TV screen.

"It really is?"

“It can’t really be Barcelona, can it?”

"Let's see."

Just as the Liverpool players were discussing.

Beckham drew out Liverpool's opponents.

He unfolded the paper in his hand.

Liverpool players opened their mouths wide.

"Really?"

“It’s Barcelona!”
