The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 523 Three Minute Storm

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the long sound of a goal from the on-site commentator, all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience quickly rushed out of their seats and rushed to the fence of the stands, and there was a surprised cheer.

After scoring the goal, Ribery turned around and rushed out of the penalty area. Along the way, he kept heading towards the stands where Tottenham Hotspur was located, which was dyed white by the fans' jerseys. He stretched out his right hand and kept doing a blowing kiss.

"Frank Ribery!! Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal in the No.204 minute by French left winger Frank Ribery. This is Tottenham Hotspur's first goal of the game A second shot into Barcelona's box, their second shot of the game, but a goal!"

"A very, very, very efficient goal, and it came very suddenly. Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of a sudden acceleration from right back Alves, and rushed past Barcelona's defensive formation on the right!"

The live TV camera is constantly replaying the whole process of the goal just now, and under the stands on the side where the Tottenham Hotspur fans are, all the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed towards Ribe Here, everyone is celebrating the Frenchman's goal.

"Throughout the goal, we could see the Tottenham attacking style, Messi used an off-ball run, pulled Mascherano away and gave Van Persie a chance to play Pique one-on-one. , and Alves obviously passed the ball to Van Persie instead of Messi who was closer to the goal, and Van Persie's consecutive two-foot stop after that made people have to marvel."

"It is very common to stop the ball twice, and then pass it to Ribery. The Frenchman did not hesitate and pushed the ball directly into the goal. It can be said that this attack is not just a reflection of the Tottenham Hotspur player. At the same time, it also reflects the tacit understanding and excellent sense of cooperation of Tottenham Hotspur players."

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience were chanting Ribery's name, and the French kept applauding towards the fans in the stands, even though he was out for a long time this season due to injury, or He is seriously out of shape, but this group of fans still haven't given up on him, and still haven't forgotten him.

"Perhaps Ribéry blew a kiss to dispel the rumors that he wanted to move to Real Madrid, because at Tottenham, he played two seasons in a row in the Champions League final and just won the Premier League. , and went to Real Madrid, can he get such an opportunity? Can he have such excellent teammates? And the tactics that suit him to play?"

The TV camera was shown to Guardiola. After seeing Ribery's goal, the Barcelona coach and deputy coach Vilanova both showed panicked expressions, and Guardiola even rushed out of the command area, but it still couldn't stop Ribery's goal.

"For Barcelona it will be a very, very bad goal because they will have to accept that they are behind and for Guardiola it will be the nightmare to concede a goal because he has to now To make a choice in the shortest possible time, do you want to press out and attack, or choose to defend?"

"Time waits for no one, the game restarts, what will Barcelona choose?"

Obviously, Guardiola wanted to stabilize first, so he kept walking to the sidelines, waving his hands constantly, signaling the players to calm down, not to press up, and adopt defensive tactics, first stabilize the situation and then slowly counterattack, Go for the goal.

But Ye Qiu also seemed very excited. He walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly at the players on the field. He even yelled loudly in English to this group of Toth who had just scored a goal and returned to the field. Nam Tottenham player, "Keep attacking, don't relax, keep pressing on me, attack!"

After the game restarted, Tottenham Hotspur reversed the laziness and slack just now, but adopted a pressing tactic step by step. I had to speed up the tempo from the start.

The 5 minutes after losing the ball is often the easiest to lose the ball again, because at this time the players are still in the same state of mind and spirit as when they just lost the ball. They are still trying to adjust their mentality. After all, 0 :0 and 0:1, these are two completely different situations, especially in the Champions League final.

At this moment, the lagging side will definitely start to worry about gains and losses, and begin to doubt whether their tactics are correct, while the leading side will boost their morale, and even show the momentum to swallow their opponents in one go.

Of course, there are also some very tenacious teams. They can overcome the pressure of falling behind very well, and then take advantage of the momentum and slackness of the opponent's goal to counterattack the goal and equalize the score, but such examples are few and far between. , On the contrary, there are countless cases of conceding the ball again within 5 minutes after conceding the ball.

Just like Barcelona this time.

When Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal, and when Tottenham Hotspur kicked off the ball again, they reversed the steady and steady tactics of the start and began to press on with all of them, and launched a wild press against them like a wolf and a tiger. Everyone was obviously frightened, and they all started to feel a little overwhelmed, not knowing what method they should take to deal with it.

Tottenham Hotspur pressed hard, and Barcelona habitually passed back, but when the ball was about to be passed from Busquets to Xavi, Xavi hadn't passed because of Fabregas' influence and interference. After receiving the ball, David Silva intercepted it in advance, and the latter passed the ball diagonally after getting the ball.

David Silva's pass was obviously on the right side of the small penalty area vacated by Barcelona's defense line, because after David Silva stole the ball, Messi immediately cut to the center and directly put Ah Vidal was brought over, while Van Persie ran to the right, pulling Mascherano away, while Ribery rushed into the penalty area.

Facing David Silva's half-high ball, Van Persie gently raised his foot on the right side of the penalty area. The ball seemed to become very heavy. It hit his foot and rebounded slightly, but was quickly caught by his The chest stopped for a moment.

Mascherano is always close to Van Persie, he is looking for the right time to step down, and when he sees Van Persie uses his body to stop the ball, and it still stops to the bottom line, he wisely chooses to let Van Persie take the ball out of the bottom line, So he continued to stick to the position steadily.

But Van Persie insisted that before the ball was about to go out of the baseline, he made an emergency stop and spike before the baseline, and separated half a body from Mascherano. Although the Argentine was in a very good position, he prevented Van Persie from cutting inside and did not let He had the slightest chance to directly threaten the goal kick, but after being swayed halfway, he couldn't stop Van Persie from knocking back and inserting Messi.

Messi took advantage of the opportunity to stop the ball behind Mascherano. Abidal was obviously taken aback by Messi who suddenly rushed towards the goal again from the front of the penalty area. He lost to Messi in terms of explosive power and could only follow behind Messi.

Stopping the ball, Valdez didn't hesitate at all, and chose to attack immediately, but Messi suddenly accelerated again, grabbed the ball before Valdés, and poked the ball with his foot.

The ball almost followed a straight line, stuck to the turf in the small penalty area, and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Oh my god, Leo Messi scored a goal!!!"

"In less than 3 minutes, Tottenham scored again!"

"Scored two goals in a row. This time it was Leo Messi. After receiving a counter-knock from Van Persie, he stabbed calmly and passed through Valdez's defense. He scored the first goal for Tottenham Hotspur." Two goals, 2:0!"

"In less than 27 minutes in the first half, Tottenham took a two-goal lead!"

After Messi scored a goal, he rushed out of the penalty area all the way, ran forward frantically, and ran directly to the coach's bench of the visiting team, rushed to his head coach, and then hugged Ye Autumn.

Despite his small stature, Meixi was quite strong, and took advantage of Ye Qiu's inattention, and picked him up by the waist.

All the Tottenham Hotspur players quickly rushed out of the field and rushed to the coach's bench, each and every one of them tightly surrounded Ye Qiu and Messi. The Tottenham fans once again uttered deafening shouts.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. Tottenham Hotspur didn't start well, but in just 3 minutes, they exploded with crazy attack power, relying on the front three forks The cooperation of the halberds, as well as the outstanding personal abilities of the players, literally broke Barcelona's defense!"

"Let's look at the whole process of scoring again, from the oblique pass after stealing the ball, to Van Persie's sudden stop and spike after stopping the ball, knocking back, Messi's thrusting in behind, calmly poking and shooting, the whole process happened in the blink of an eye , but Tottenham Hotspur once again expanded the score on the field with lightning-fast attack speed!"

"Messi, and Ye Qiu, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur!"

The live TV footage showed a close-up of Ye Qiu and Messi. Now Ye Qiu's Versace suit was obviously covered with the player's sweat. Fortunately, he didn't have to pay for this brand-name suit. Otherwise, I believe he would feel distressed. endlessly.

"It was previously reported that Messi will transfer to Manchester City this summer, and there were also media reports that Messi's agent and his father, Jorge Messi, had a secret meeting with Barcelona's top management before the game. Doubt, Messi will move to Barcelona in the summer."

"But regardless of the rumors before the game, and regardless of how the transfer market works after the game, Messi proved with his outstanding performance that he is indeed the most trusted core attacker in the team for Tottenham fans, and he also He is using his own celebration to show everyone his gratitude to Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu."

"Sometimes, the operation in the transfer market is not enough to explain the true feelings of the players, just like if Messi really transfers, it doesn't mean there is a problem between him and Ye Qiu. He uses this hug to tell everyone People, he and Ye Qiu are still the best mentors and apprentices."

"Another noteworthy player in this game is Van Persie. Strictly speaking, although Ribery and Messi scored goals, their performances were not very good, especially Ribery, but Van Persie's performance in this game His performance was impressive, he contributed two assists, and both times showed his exquisite ball-stopping skills, very solid basic skills."

The players on the court are still celebrating, the referee is already calling for them to return to the court, and the live broadcast is repeatedly replaying the process of Van Persie's two assists just now.

"Now some people comment on Van Persie and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Frankly speaking, these are two relatively different technical attackers in today's football, but compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing the arrow center position, he is responsible for the team. The core responsibility of offense, Van Persie's tactical role will be relatively weak, and his physical fitness is not as good as Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

"Ibrahimovic belongs to the kind of center forward who has a strong body and delicate skills. If he has a chance, he can seize the opportunity. If there is no chance, he can create opportunities abruptly. He can adapt to almost any team's tactics. But the premise is that you have to attack around him, so that you can display his strongest combat effectiveness."

"Comparatively speaking, Van Persie will be relatively weak in terms of tactics. He does not have Ibrahimovic's physical fitness, which is a disadvantage in the opponent's penalty area, but his running support awareness, passing and stopping awareness are very good. Is outstanding, which allows him to create opportunities with interspersed runs in the frontcourt and catch the ball from any angle of his teammates."

"It's hard to say which of the two players is better, because they fit two different tactical styles, but in general, Van Persie's tactics will be more adaptable, after all, Zlatan Ibrahimovic needs the team to revolve around. He organizes the offense, while Van Persie can play in the middle of the frontcourt, on the wing, and even as a second striker."

As if frightened by the momentum of Tottenham Hotspur scoring two goals in 3 minutes, after the re-kick-off, Guardiola began to consciously keep the team's three lines compact, and set up the team in front of the goal. The frontier area of ​​the restricted area.

Obviously, Guardiola has been stunned by Tottenham Hotspur's two consecutive attacks. I believe he would never have thought that the situation would turn around like this before scoring the goal. Otherwise, he would strictly abide by the game. The previous arrangement, 5 minutes to attack, 5 minutes to close, so maybe the first ball will not be lost.

Instead of losing the first goal, the second goal can naturally be avoided!
But it’s too late to say anything now. Guardiola is very clear that Barcelona has been completely lost by Tottenham Hotspur in the first half. What he needs to do now is not to score goals, but to Stabilize the situation first, and then adopt the strategy drawn up before the game to let Tottenham Hotspur come up.

But Tottenham Hotspur didn't seem to be in a hurry. After scoring two goals in a row, Ye Qiu quickly signaled for the team to stabilize after seeing Barcelona's orderly shrinking defense. Strategy.

In the key finals, the word stability is the first!
Now with two goals in hand, Ye Qiu is more qualified than Guardiola to spend time slowly, because this is beneficial to Tottenham Hotspur, it is best to spend it until the end of the game, then Tottenham Hotspur Take down the opponent.

But it may be that the continuous rapid offensive within 3 minutes just now made the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands very happy. Now that both sides have slowed down a bit, this group of fans from England are all shouting. Attack and score.

Hearing the fans' cries, Ye Qiu shook his head towards Mauro Tassotti with a wry smile, "If we press up and fight now, it's like running into Barcelona's trap. They want us to press up and attack wildly now, then It's in their best interest."

If he hadn't considered the Champions League final, Ye Qiu would have agreed to continue attacking, but this is a Champions League final, and winning the game steadily is the first priority, so he still signaled the players on the sidelines to adopt patient and steady tactics.

After scoring two goals in a row, Barcelona's possession rate declined rapidly, while Tottenham Hotspur's possession time continued to rise. If you simply count the possession rate after scoring two goals in a row, Tottenham Tottenham Hotspur is almost as high as 65%. This is because Barcelona is a bit passive, and the number of passing and receiving errors has also increased significantly, while Tottenham Hotspur uses the backcourt to hold the ball and let Barcelona press out to grab it.

But the problem is that Barcelona just don't want to grab too much!
The time passed by one minute and one second, perhaps seeing that both sides played very cleanly in the first half, the game was not interrupted, and both sides obviously lost the idea of ​​​​continuing to make progress in the end, so the referee from Switzerland Saka only gave 1 minute stoppage time, and then announced the early end of the first half.

"This is almost a performance field for Tottenham Hotspur's stormy attack!" The live commentator was a little helpless, but he felt that this was normal, because this was the Champions League final, and for Tottenham Hotspur, As long as they win their opponents, they will become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League in 92.

"The first 10 minutes of the game were very tight, and it always gave people a feeling that the storm was coming soon. It was more like a kind of brewing, and it was also a kind of dormancy waiting for the opportunity, but it was difficult for us to distinguish clearly at that time. Who was the hunter and who was the prey, until Tottenham suddenly picked up the pace and headed straight for Barcelona's goal."

"At the critical moment, the overall strength of the team, as well as the individual strength of the players, played a key role in this duel. After Tottenham Hotspur scored, the defending champion team was obviously stronger than this group of players in Barcelona. More experienced and better at dealing with situations like this, so they continued to attack after scoring and scored the second goal very quickly!"

"Here, we also have to mention Guardiola. He was obviously restricted by Ye Qiu's tactics in this game. Although he maintained an active attack for 10 minutes after the start, he did not create the slightest threat. If it is an experienced head coach, he should see the danger at this time and choose to stabilize the defense, but he does not have such a sense of crisis."

Speaking of this, the on-site commentator shook his head and sighed: "Perhaps, the young Guardiola is paying tuition for his inexperience, and we all have reason to believe that after taking a two-goal lead, as long as Tottenham is in the second half. No more mistakes from Tottenham, Barcelona will have a very difficult chance to reverse."

"After all, whether it is from the experience of the Champions League final, or from the experience of coaching, and the level of targeted tactics, Ye Qiu is steadily and completely better than Guardiola!"
