Godfather Of Champions

No goal was scored, but Wood was not upset. He turned and ran back, high-fiving Arteta who was covering him on the road. Ronaldinho watched this man and found that his face was as silent as water, without any fluctuations in his expression.

What was he thinking about? Wouldn't it be a pity that he didn't score the goal? Or... he thought he had a chance to threaten Barcelona's goal again?

If you really think so, you would be wrong!

Valdes drove the ball out and Eto'o received the ball and passed it to Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian is the core of Barcelona. As soon as he received the ball, George Wood leaned forward.

"George Wood is responsible for defending Ronaldinho, which is not surprising at all. If there is anyone in the Forest who can cause some trouble for Ronaldinho, it may be the number 13 in front of him. This is Wood. Defending Ronaldinho in a game for the first time! In last year's Champions League final, Wood was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and missed the matchup with today's first midfielder!"

Ronaldinho certainly knew that George Wood was famous for his defense, and faced Wood's frontal defense, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

After trying to make a fake move, Ronaldinho found that the opposite person was not moved at all. He frowned and passed the football to Messi who was rimmed.

Messi has someone responsible for it, so Wood won't rush to join in the fun. He continued to follow Ronaldinho not far away, watching the Brazilian's movements with his eyes.

Messi heads up against Forest left back Gareth Bale on the right. Eto'o has inserted into the penalty area and is ready to grab points.

It seems that Barcelona wants to pass the ball from the side and grab points in the middle.

Just when the players in Nottingham Forest focused their defensive attention in front of the goal, Messi gave a false shot but passed the football back to Ronaldinho in the middle.

Ronaldinho wanted to stop the ball and shoot straight away, but when he just stopped the ball, he saw George Wood appearing ghostly in front of him!

The foot that was originally squeezed to shoot has now become a huge flaw, because Ronaldinho briefly lost control of the ball.

George Wood saw the right time and slammed the ball out of the Brazilian's feet!

"Nice steal! Looks like Ronaldinho has met a rival!"

Ronaldinho was a little surprised. He thought that he had deceived the man in front of him by his falsely inward breakthrough. He didn't expect that he had just withdrawn to pick up the pass from Messi and he was eyeing him again.

This is the second time he has tasted this kind of taste this season-the first time was in an away game against Chelsea in the group stage, when he was seen as powerful and helpless by opposing Dutch defender Bola Luz.

In that game, Mourinho asked Bola Luz to implement a close press against Ronaldinho, and even used a foul to interrupt Ronaldinho's rhythm with the ball. This tactic was very successful. In that game, Barcelona's soul could not play any role. Last season's European champion also lost to Chelsea.

This game, it seems that Dunn is planning to copy Mourinho's tactics, but he used to target Ronaldinho is the more fierce defense, better physical strength, better physical fitness George Wood.

The narrator is right, Ronaldinho has encountered a difficult opponent this time. As the two sides met for the first time, George Wood was suspended for accumulating yellow cards. In that game, Ronaldinho galloped in the frontcourt of Nottingham Forest and played with ease. No one could form him at all. What a threat.

If the Brazilian is still playing this game with the experience of the previous game, Dunn believes that he will suffer.

After intercepting the ball, Wood passed the football to Arteta. He did not follow up again to participate in the attack, but honestly waited for the defense behind.

"George Wood is a defensive star rising from Nottingham Forest. His career is full of legendary experience. Because of his stable and outstanding performance in the team, he has been selected to the England national team and is one of the 23 One, played in Germany. Unfortunately, Eriksson believes more in big-name players, such as Gerrard and Lampard. As a young man who participated in the World Cup for the first time, Wood did not get a minute of playing time." The Spanish commentator is giving The Spanish audience introduced this young man who is still a little unfamiliar to them, "But looking at his current performance, it should only be a matter of time before he will become the main force in England in the future."

When the narrator introduced Wood, Nottingham Forest was attacking. Ronaldinho did not run back to participate in the defense. He stayed in place just like George Wood. He frowned and looked at the young man not far in front.

Through these two head-to-head confrontations, he can already give George Wood a simple judgment in his heart.

Excellent physical fitness, quick foot movements, and decisive. Calm and steady, not easy to be fooled, once you make up your mind, you will never give up halfway... Such a midfielder is really difficult to deal with.

He reminded himself of the current head coach of the Brazilian national team, former captain Dunga.

It seems that I have to change my strategy.

In the face of this kind of person, you still want to take more balls, and more dribbling will definitely not work. The result is either a break or a foul. This will obviously interrupt the team's offensive rhythm. What is the most effective way?

Pass.

Ronaldinho decided to reduce the number of times he took the ball and the time he held the ball, pass the football as much as possible, and if possible, try to pass it with one kick.

After Barcelona moved into Rijkaard, they have gradually formed a set of their own offensive tactics, which are now becoming more and more perfect. The players have a stable lineup and a tacit understanding. Ronaldinho believes that this is not difficult.

Now is a good time for Barcelona to create a new dynasty, how can it be planted at the foot of a little back?

Nottingham Forest's offense was taken by Valdes, who threw the ball to counterattack. Barcelona immediately switched from defensive to offensive. Barcelona may not invest much in defense, but they definitely have no shortage of people to rush to attack.

The football was passed to Ronaldinho again in three passes.

This time, Wood still rushed forward, Ronaldinho looked at the right side of Wood's body, as if to break through from there. When he saw Wood's body's center of gravity was obviously leaning there, he suddenly passed the football to the other side! Wood did not react, staying on the spot and watching the football fly by on his other side.

This is exactly what Ronaldinho is good at "sounding the ball".

Seeing this scene, the Catalan commentator became excited: "Ronaldinho's pass deceived George Wood! This is the real football wizard! Just warming up... It must be beautiful!"

※※※

Dunn just shrugged when he saw Ronaldinho performing on the sidelines. He was even very happy that Ronaldinho did this, because Brazilians who did not dare to dribble lost the general threat because they could not dribble. No matter how good the pass is, you must cooperate with your teammates. Your Ronaldinho is in good shape, and there is no guarantee that everyone in Barcelona is in good shape.

George Wood did an excellent job of his task.

This kid is growing every day. Facing the world's No. 1 midfielder, he is not timid at all, and he feels as if he is on the training ground.

Although he turned him from a porter into a professional player, these specific things are the result of constant efforts by Chris Lak and Albertini. He is very fortunate to have these good helpers around him, allowing him, the "two knives" coach to come to where he is today.

Albertini also leaned over and sat down beside Dunn.

The two did not talk, just glanced at each other, and then turned their attention to the court.

※※※

Ronaldinho's pass was passed to Messi, and Barcelona's intentions in this game are obvious: if Ronaldinho is in trouble in the middle, he will shift his offensive focus to Messi's side. Because the defender in Nottingham Forest is young Gareth Bale, who is under twenty.

Rijkaard and the entire Barcelona coaching staff studied the game video of Nottingham Forest and believed that Bell is a typical "heavy offense and lighter" full-back. He likes to assist and will not come back immediately after assists, so that he is behind him. It will cause a lot of empty space and be used by Barcelona.

Rijkaard and his coaching staff will study, won't Dunn?

Dunn certainly knows the characteristics of Bell-offense is better than defense. Then why didn't he play with Leighton Barnes, who is more stable defensively, but with Bell? Quite simply, Dunn needs Bell's offensive and positioning ability. However, in order to make up for his defensive deficiencies, Dunn asked Bell not to rush offense within fifteen minutes after the start of the game, but to concentrate on defense and resist Barcelona's use of the momentum of the home court.

Now based on the situation on the field, Dunn's arrangement is very correct. Barcelona continued to attack Bell on the wing after the opening. If Bell still presses on the assists, the forest team's defense will definitely be beaten by Barcelona. In normal games, George Wood can also come over to make up for the gap after Bale pressed, but today is not possible, he has a heavier task.

As a young man, Messi is much more famous than Bell. The latter is just a little famous in the local area. The former can be labeled as "the successor to the ball king Maradona" even though this label is in Argentina. It's very cheap. In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, there were many appearances for the "successor to the king" at the same time, but Messi is currently recognized as the player most likely to reach the level of Maradona.

Bale didn't dare to care about the famous Barcelona player. He kept in mind Dunn’s advice to him before the game: "...defense is something you need to concentrate on doing well at the beginning of the game, be careful of Messi."

Ronaldinho's side is currently temporarily unable to function, Messi has assumed the responsibility of Barcelona's offensive, facing a slightly nervous Bale, he seems comfortable. After all, it is a person who has seen a big scene...

Messi controlled his own pace, intentionally slowed down, and attracted Bell to defend. Then he suddenly smashed the ball and got rid of it when Bell leaned up!

Bell didn't expect Messi to break through so quickly. He was caught off guard and turned hurriedly, but slipped and fell to the ground!

Just as the Catalan narrator was about to shout: "Messi broke through the defense of Nottingham Forest", Messi was blocked by one person.

When it was clear who that person was, the Catalan commentator was silent for a few seconds.

The person in front of Messi is not George Wood who can't run, but an excellent player in the Barcelona youth training camp, the main center back of the Spanish national youth team, and the grandson of the former Barcelona vice chairman-Pique.

"Pikwe, once the pride of La Masia's defense, now...our opponent."

When Messi was not a famous supernova in world football, he and Pikwe played in the same youth team. At that time, they were teammates. Fabregas was with them. They had good personal relationships. They talked about their future ideals after training. Play for Barcelona, ​​win all championships for Barcelona. It was almost all the dreams of the La Masia teenagers at that time.

Messi is certainly a very talented player, but who can enter the main lineup of the Barcelona youth team, how many are not talented? Is Fabregas, who is now the new core at Arsenal, less talented than Messi?

And this one...Pikwe.

Messi was in a daze, but immediately recovered his calm eyes. He seemed to see Piquet smiling at himself, his expression seemed to say: "Come on, kid. Just like we did on the training ground in La Masia. ... let me guard you!"

Messi slowed down slightly to protect the ball. He is now on the edge of the penalty zone. As long as he breaks inward, Pikwe will never act rashly.

Pique turned half sideways at Messi, ready to turn around at any time. He knows Messi's strength and how powerful this kid who has been suffering from dwarfism since childhood is.

Messi made a false move to pass, hoping to trick Pique into losing his focus. But Pikwe remained unmoved and continued to turn half sideways, lowering his weight and staring at the ball at Messi's feet.

From the corner of Messi’s eyes, he suddenly noticed that Bell, who had just been knocked down by himself, was getting up and chasing him. He realized that Pique was just bluffing. The real purpose was to delay time and wait for Bell to come back and forth. Decided not to spend it with Pikwe here, but to force a breakthrough!

Messi dialed the ball and broke inward with a diagonal line. Pikwe followed the start and leaned his body up to prevent Messi from accelerating.

At this moment, Messi suddenly smashed the ball, stopped abruptly, and changed from behind Pikwe to a breakthrough!

Almost at the same time, Pi Kui also stopped anxiously, with his left foot firmly on the ground, quickly turned around, and extended his right foot to tackle!

Messi saw a leg suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was too late to react. The football was stopped by Pique, and he fell into the penalty area due to inertia!

There was a huge boo from the stands at Camp Nou, and they hoped the referee would give a penalty. But the referee on the penalty zone saw the whole process clearly, Pikwe's defensive action was neat and clean, and there was no foul.

After Pikwe broke the ball, he got up and kicked the football back to Bell who came back to catch it. Bell then passed the football to his teammate in front, and the Forest team reorganized the attack.

Pikwe, who had completed the defensive task, looked back at Messi who was lying on the turf. He hesitated, then walked back and reached out to the former teammate.

Messi took the hand that Pique had handed over, got up, and ran back without saying anything. Pikwe looked at his back, his eyes quickly shifted away, and stopped on his forest teammates. It is now another offense of the forest team, which is what he cares about.

※※※

"Pikwe's beautiful tackle successfully prevented Messi, and now is a great opportunity for the Forest team to counterattack. Just now many Barcelona players rushed to prepare for the attack, they may not have thought that Messi's dribble would be cut off so easily. , There are not too many people returning to defense... Oh my God! The one who is dribbling the ball is-George Wood!"

The narrator was taken aback, but he was right. At this moment, he was dribbling the ball to participate in the offense. It was not Arteta who organized the forest team's counterattack, but the unexpected George Wood.

After Bell passed the ball to Arteta, George Wood suddenly dropped Ronaldinho and sprinted forward at full speed. Arteta sent the football to his feet accurately.

The rhythm was still a bit chaotic when he first received the ball, but Wood quickly adjusted the pace and strode forward to take the ball. He has one advantage, which was later discovered by Dunn under Albertini’s reminder, that is, Wood’s dribbling pace is very large, and his pace is very good, and... he is raising his head. Rarely look down at the ball. This kid has never relaxed the practice of basic skills, and it is all manifested at this time.

Harvey wanted to break Wood's ball, but his body and Wood are not a heavyweight at all. Wood just crossed everything and separated Harvey from football. Harvey kicked Wood in the leg while running. Both of them staggered, but the results were different: Harvey staggered and fell to the ground, while Wood quickly balanced his body and continued to dribble.

"Stop him!" Puyol shouted in front of Wood, and Marcos rushed up.

Puyol also pays attention to protect Marcos at any time in the back. If the Mexican is broken, he will immediately rush to make up for it. He does not believe that Wood's footwork is good enough to connect two people in such a fast dribble!

Just as Marcos charged up, Wood suddenly passed the ball. He did not pass to Ribery and Ashley Young who were following up at high speed from the wing, but to Freddie Eastwood who was caught up in the penalty zone line!

After receiving the ball, Eastwood seems to have to shoot directly. He has scored many goals this season from this position. Puyol did not dare to neglect, rushed to block this shot. however……

Eastwood's shot was false and the pass was true. He pushed the football to Bendtner a little earlier. Zambrotta has been dragging behind, he knew that Bendtner would become a point of the Forest team's offense, this time he expected it! So the Italian didn't hesitate to push to Bendtner, oppressing him, preventing him from kicking the goal.

Unexpectedly, Bendtner didn't mean to shoot. After receiving Eastwood's pass, he immediately pushed out again...

"Two over one!" the commentator exclaimed.

That's right, it was the two-to-one between Eastwood and Bendtner, and it was also a continuous triangle pass from George Wood.

Eastwood came out of the siege, he received the ball in the penalty area, but was not offside. Now he doesn't even have a Barcelona defensive player!

Marcos didn't have time to return to the defense on George Wood's side. Puyol was at the place where Eastwood had just stayed, but he was already out. Zambrotta is entangled with Bendtner, but football is not here!

Eastwood saw the football rolling over. He raised his head and glanced at Valdés, who had rushed out. He volleyed his feet vigorously, but turned into a challenge when the foot touched the football!

"Picking shot! Beautiful-the goal! Freddie Eastwood! He opened the record for Nottingham Forest! At the Nou Camp stadium, they captured Barcelona's gate! The first half of the game only started ten minutes , Nottingham Forest leads Barcelona 1-0! What an unexpected start... Tony Dunn said before the game that this game is on his track, maybe this time he is not diverting his attention, he is... true !"
