Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 336 Ice and Fire

   In the 35th minute of the game, Thiago Silva broke Eto'o's dribble with a big foot in the penalty area.

  Kaka quickly determined where the ball was falling and intercepted it before Deco.

  Deke pulled and tugged in a hurry, but was still left behind by Kaka.

   Once Kaka rushes up, no one can stop him except fouls.

   First, another midfielder from Barcelona, ​​Marcos, rushed over to intercept Kaka, but before Marcos could start, Kaka rushed like a bolt of lightning.

   At the same moment, Ronaldo on the left and Messi on the right also accelerated forward together.

   In this way, Barcelona's two full-backs Thuram and Zambrotta had to focus on Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and there was no way to add in in time to protect the middle.

   In the penalty area of ​​Barcelona, ​​Edmilson was in charge of marking Tony and could not leave easily, and Puyol had to rush out to intercept Kaka.

   Seeing Puyol coming up, Kaka didn't even slow down. He just flicked the ball to the front right and charged directly towards where Tony and Edmilson were.

   This time, Puyol must bypass Tony and Edmilson if he wants to intercept.

   And Edmilson saw Kaka running towards his position, and hurried forward to block it.

   But Tony made a very smart step at this time, and immediately blocked Edmilson behind him and played a pick-and-roll in basketball, leaving a way forward for Kaka.

  Kaka was not polite, and rushed past Tony and Edmilson with the ball.

   At this point, only Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes and the goal were left in front of him. Without any hesitation, Kaka immediately kicked the door.

   At this time, Puyol finally came around from the other side of Tony and Edmilson, seeing that Kaka had already made a shot, and hurried a shovel to block the hole.

  Puyol didn't shovel. Although he touched the ball shot by Kaka, the ball still flew to Barcelona's goal after changing direction.

   And, Valdez, who reacted very quickly, had already made a save in advance. As soon as the ball changed direction, Valdez wanted to change the direction of his save, but it was too late, he could only watch the ball bounce from his side into the net.

   "GOAL!"

   With Kaka's wonderful one-stop performance, Crystal Palace overtook Barcelona 2:1.

"Oh!"

  In the Luzhniki Stadium, the cheers of the Crystal Palace fans sounded again, but the boos from the Barcelona fans were already a bit lacking.

   On the sidelines, Rijkaard, who saw Crystal Palace overtake the score, couldn't sit still.

  If you can’t lead Crystal Palace in the first half when you are still physically fit, how will you play in the second half?

   looked up at the game time on the big screen, then looked back at the Barcelona bench.

  Rijkaard went back and forth for a few laps, and finally resisted to play all the cards in his hand before the first half of the game.

Fortunately, the Barcelona players did not disappoint Rijkaard. At the end of the first half of the game, Ronaldinho first played a bull's tail and swayed past Yaya Toure, who was marking him. .

   Then a through ball penetrated Crystal Palace's back line. Eto'o, who slanted into the penalty area from the right, received the ball without any pause, and the ball was a volley.

  The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the Crystal Palace goal against the turf. The tall Cech couldn't make a save. By the time he made the move, the ball had already flown from his hand into the net.

   With Eto'o's goal, Barcelona tied the score at 2:2.

   As soon as this goal was scored, the Barcelona fans who were a little embarrassed just now became excited again.

   Correspondingly, the fans of Crystal Palace immediately sent overwhelming boos.

  The Luzhniki Stadium was turned into a vegetable market again, and the fans of both sides gave each other a "warm and warm" greeting.

   In such a noisy atmosphere, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game.

   The wonderful 45-minute game not only made the fans hooked, but even the commentators of major TV stations were also excited.

   After all, in this increasingly utilitarian era, the final = ugly has almost become a consensus of everyone.

   "In the first half, the two teams scored four goals. Is this still the Champions League final as we know it?"

   "In the Champions League final, it was extremely rare that there was a wide-open battle. Today's Champions League final will surely become an unforgettable classic game that will go down in history."

   "I have a hunch that the four goals in the first half will definitely not be the final result. Today's Champions League final is likely to become the Champions League final with the most goals in history."

"The head coaches of the two teams, Chen Ran and Rijkaard, adopted offensive tactics at the same time. No matter who the final championship trophy falls into, this evening, I would like to thank them for working together to present a football feast to the fans. "

   In China, thousands of miles away, in the early hours of the morning, the popularity of Crystal Palace’s post bar once again reached a new high.

   During the intermission, many domestic fans who bought tickets and went to watch the game, uploaded the photos and videos they took to the post bar.

   "Good guy, there are so many Crystal Palace fans here."

   "Yeah, this Luzhniki Stadium is the largest stadium in Maozi, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people. There are tens of thousands of fans from both Crystal Palace and Barcelona."

   "I'm going, this goal video was shot, it made me dizzy, but the atmosphere of the scene is really good."

   "That's right, Tete Meow has a sense of it. It's the first time I have personally experienced what it's like to be shooed by tens of thousands of people together."

   "Unfortunately, I was thinking that one day Ibrahimovic would be able to return to Crystal Palace. What he did today has completely blocked the road."

   "Forget it, let's go. Anyway, Messi's performance in exchange for him is also very good, at least not a loss. If Cesc Fabregas is added, it can be said to be a profit."

   "Haha, when did the chicken thief do a loss-making business?"

   "That is, chicken thief chooses players' vision, never doubt it."

   "I said, are you guys upstairs crooked? After talking for a long time, there is no content about the competition at all."

   "Is it still called irrigation if it is not crooked?"

   "Haha, what you said upstairs makes sense. Besides, such a wonderful game is over after watching. The discussion of the game is after the Crystal Palace gets the championship trophy."

   "I'll go, upstairs you have more confidence in the Crystal Palace than chicken thieves."

   "Of course, in the past few seasons, in any finals that Crystal Palace participated in, has Crystal Palace ever lost?"

   "Huh? Hearing you say that, it seems like this is the case."

   "So, just relax and enjoy the game, and leave the rest to the chicken thief."

  In the locker room of Crystal Palace, looking at the sweaty players in front of him, Chen Ran clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he walked in front of the players.

   "Everyone performed well in the first half, and we will continue to play like this in the second half."

   "Barcelona just finished La Liga three days ago and their fitness is not as good as ours. This will become more apparent as the game goes on."

   "So, no matter what happens after the second half of the game, you guys have to take it easy. Just remember, time is on our side. Understand?"

"clear!"

   "Don't worry, boss!"

   "Yes, it's not the first time we played the Champions League final with Barcelona. We were able to kill them last time, and this time too."

   Seeing that the team members were full of energy and fighting spirit, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction. These players won so many championship trophies with him, they are no longer the rookies they used to be. Facing the current situation, he is still very confident.

   And in the Barcelona dressing room, Rijkaard was busy cheering on his players.

   Although we didn’t achieve the pre-match start, we planned to establish the lead early.

   But Rijkaard was relieved that the players were able to tie the score before the end of the first half and put the two teams back on the same starting line.

   He knew that the team members had done their best. At least, the initiative to compete for the Champions League has not yet fallen into the hands of Crystal Palace.

   However, looking at the drenched and panting team members in front of him, Rijkaard couldn't help thinking of the sword that had been hanging over his head.

   Physical fitness, especially the physical fitness of the core players, can it last until the end of the game?

   What if we have to play extra time in 1900?

  Thinking of this, Rijkaard first turned his attention to Ronaldinho.

  As the absolute core of Barcelona, ​​Ronaldinho, who has become famous in recent years, has completely released himself and indulged in the major nightclubs in Barcelona.

  Although the technical awareness is still there, the physical function has already declined significantly.

  If there is any player that Rijkaard is most worried about, it must be Ronaldinho.

   "Ronaldo, how are you now? Can you keep going?"

  Rijkaard is not the kind of strong-handed coach with a strong style, and he gets along well with the players, so he directly asked about Ronaldinho's status.

   "Boss, I'm fine, don't worry."

   picked up the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, Ronaldinho grinned at Rijkaard with a wide mouth.

   "Okay, let me know if you feel tired and I'll put you out to rest."

   "OK!"

  Although still not at ease, Ronaldinho's face still needs to be taken care of, Rijkaard decided to observe again.

  At the beginning of the second half of the game, everyone found that neither team made any substitutions, and even the tactical play did not change in any way, and it was still a fierce battle.

   Ronaldinho lived up to Rijkaard's trust, this time he dribbled the ball past Mascherano, and then a pick pass into the Crystal Palace penalty area.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic turned his back to the Crystal Palace goal and used his strong body to keep Pepe, who was in charge of marking him, behind him.

   The ball was first flipped with his chest, and then Ibrahimovic followed with an upside-down hook.

With a sound of    "Bang!", the ball flew quickly and quickly to the upper right corner of the Crystal Palace goal.

  Cech moved quickly and jumped to the right.

  Unfortunately, Ibrahimovic's barb shot was too angled. Cech tried his best and failed to touch the ball. In the end, he could only helplessly watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded.

   With Ibrahimovic's brace, Barcelona led Crystal Palace 3-2 again.

   This time, Ibrahimovic did not make any violent celebrations.

   But the Crystal Palace fans in the Luzhniki Stadium would not let him go. The deafening boos and the cheers of the Barcelona fans resounded through the sky, and they collided fiercely in the stadium again.

   On the sidelines, Rijkaard was even more excited than Ibrahimovic who scored. After cheering and cheering, the assistants around him hugged tightly.

   On the Crystal Palace side, whether it was Guardiola, Southgate and Simeone, their three assistants or those substitute players, they couldn't help but sneak a sneak peek at Chen Ran.

   Seeing that Chen Ran was still sitting in his seat calmly, all these guys breathed a sigh of relief, and the old **** was on the ground and began to discuss the goal of Ibrahimovic just now.

   was scored by Ibrahimovic again, and Crystal Palace fell behind again. Of course Chen Ran was very upset.

   But he knew very well in his heart that as a head coach, he must not mess up.

   After the guys next to him turned their attention, Chen Ran glanced at the time without any expression.

  The game has only been going on for more than 50 minutes, and there is still time.

   So, Chen Ran continued to sit on the bench calmly, believing that the players on the court would not make him wait too long.

  Crystal Palace's players did not disappoint Chen Ran. Less than five minutes after Ibrahimovic scored the second goal, Crystal Palace launched a new round of offensive from the right.

   Messi dribbled the ball all the way along the right line and saw Deco rushing to intercept, he immediately passed the ball to Kaka in the middle, but he bypassed Deco and continued to move forward at high speed.

   Kaka, who received a pass from Messi, pulled and dunked, and after Marcos, who came up to press, a through ball passed the ball back to Messi who was advancing at a high speed.

   After discovering Kaka's passing intention, Barcelona's left-back Zambrotta immediately stepped up to break Kaka's pass.

   As a result, Messi moved too fast, before Zambrotta's foot reached out, he stabbed the ball lightly, then flashed Zambrotta and played a personal ball.

   This time, a huge gap appeared in Barcelona's left defense line immediately.

   Messi, who caught up with the ball in two steps, turned inward and rushed directly to the penalty area of ​​Barcelona.
