Volume 1: Males Appear, People Pay Attention. Chapter 12 of White Mist: An Unexpected Angle (First Update Guaranteed)

Five minutes into the game, Barcelona's players and fans suddenly discovered a problem - in these five minutes, Liverpool had two shots, but they didn't even have one shot!

Is this normal?

It is normal not to have a shot in five minutes. .

But in these five minutes, their opponents had two shots, but they didn't have any. That's abnormal.

And it's not just that they didn't even get a shot. Barcelona didn't even attack Liverpool's thirty-meter area... not once!

This is even more abnormal!

With Barcelona's powerful attacking power, they couldn't even enter the opponent's thirty-meter area!

The combination of these abnormalities made this game vaguely abnormal.

Guardiola was the first to notice the problem.

This kind of aggressive pressing from Liverpool has never happened before.

Even at the beginning of the game, they need to bomb indiscriminately to score goals. When defending, it is not like this. They will shrink to their own 30-meter area and then organize the defense line there. No matter how the opponent attacks, first ensure that your defense line will not be messed up and the players will not be out of position when defending.

But now the situation is that Liverpool's defense is more active than before, even... radical! They can't wait to attack Barcelona's penalty area, so that they can't even get out of the penalty area.

Liverpool's performance in this game was abnormal. If Guardiola can't see this anymore, he is not worthy of being a qualified head coach.

But what if you can see it?

He also has to think about why Liverpool did this?

In doing so, there is a huge space behind Liverpool. As long as Barcelona penetrates it once, Liverpool's goal will be in danger.

The risk is huge for them to do this, so why would they do it?

Then he noticed the statistics five minutes into the game.

Liverpool attack a lot.

An idea popped into his mind.

Are Liverpool going to play against us at home?

As soon as this idea popped up, he was startled.

His first reaction was disbelief.

But then he thought of what Chen Yingxiong said before the game.

"We will completely defeat Barcelona in the first round!"

Is this your solution for Liverpool?

Guardiola figured it out with a disdainful smile on his face.

In his opinion, it is simply naive for Liverpool to use this method to completely solve Barcelona!

But this way... it's quite simple. Attack! See who has the stronger attack power!

Thinking of this, he did not get up, but continued to sit on the coach's bench.

He has nothing to worry about, he just needs to watch the game. The game will naturally develop in Barcelona's favor.

Guardiola, sitting on the coaching bench, calmed down.

Little did he know that he had missed an opportunity that could have saved him and his team's fate.

※※※

Five minutes later, the situation of the game was still that Liverpool was attacking and Barcelona wanted to attack.

Five minutes into the second. Liverpool's offense has not slowed down at all, and their defense is pressing forward as always, launching a crazy press in the midfield and frontcourt.

Guardiola's performance was calm. But the Barcelona players on the field were not used to Liverpool's defense.

They made consecutive mistakes under Liverpool's pressure.

Only Messi is a bright spot. His dribbling is still sharp.

Just because he is further away from the goal, his dribbling distance has also increased, so his final chance of successful dribbling has also decreased.

On the other hand, Liverpool's attack was overwhelming. Even if it doesn't result in a shot. It can also give people the feeling that "Liverpool has vaguely gained the upper hand".

Why do they feel this way when they don't come up? This is how they feel.

Their feelings are not supported by theory, but they are factual.

Liverpool really suppressed Barcelona!

The Liverpool fans in the stands were happy when they saw this scene - this proves that our Liverpool team is already the number one team in the world! Even Barcelona is no match for us!

But that's not all that makes them happy...

※※※

Head coaches with high tactical ability will always have this psychological misunderstanding - thinking that tactics can solve all problems.

As long as your own tactics can restrain the opponent's tactics, then the victory of the game will belong to you.

They sometimes ignore the fact that there are many factors that determine the outcome of a game, and exquisite tactics are only one of them.

Collectivism is certainly worth promoting, but no one can erase or ignore the light of individual heroism.

It may be an insignificant person who changes history, and it may be a star's inspiration that becomes a turning point in the game.

In fact, both teams have people with this ability.

Liverpool used passing organization to pass the football back and forth in front of Barcelona's penalty area line. Look for opportunities.

This is different from their straightforward style of play. Barcelona fans who don't care about Liverpool will find this Liverpool very strange, and some may even think that Liverpool is imitating others and following Barcelona. What good can be gained from this kind of imitating behavior?

What they don't know is that this situation often occurs in Liverpool after Gotze. After all, they can't conquer the world just by relying on long passes from the backcourt and quick counterattacks. As their strength increases, they will also face many teams that shrink and defend from the start. At this time, positional warfare is also an ability that Liverpool must master.

Gotze's transfer was also due to O'Neal's request.

in constant lateral transfer. Liverpool are patiently looking for holes in Barcelona's defence.

Faced with such an attack. Barcelona seemed to be at ease, dealing with Liverpool patiently.

No matter where the football is. As long as their own defensive position is not messed up, Liverpool will not find a chance.

The football was passed back and forth several times, and back again several times.

Piqui suddenly felt something was wrong.

What exactly is wrong?

In order to prevent Liverpool from crossing from the wing, they looked for Chen Yingxiong. They strictly guarded against crosses from the wing. This blocked Liverpool's cross path.

Let them only pass from the side to the center, and from the center to the side.

It stands to reason. This defense was successful and Liverpool could only play through the middle. If you go in the middle, Chen Yingxiong's biggest weapon, the header, will be useless...

By the way, Chen Yingxiong!

Where is that damn bastard?

When he thought of Chen Yingxiong's name, Barcelona's central defender quickly looked around.

He didn't see Chen Yingxiong beside him.

Going one step further, he didn't even see Chen Yingxiong in the penalty area!

Suddenly cold sweat climbed on his forehead.

In his penalty area, he did not find Chen Yingxiong. Doesn't this clarify the problem?

This shows that the problem is serious!

As a central defender, he actually lost track of his defensive target!

In panic, he cast his sight outside the penalty area.

At the front of the penalty area, at the top of the penalty arc, there is none!

He glanced to the right again, still not there!

left……

He saw Chen Yingxiong.

Right in the corner of the penalty area. On the outside of Barcelona's defence.

As for when he appeared there, no one knew.

And it seems that the Barcelona players did not notice him immediately...

Pi Kui's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to mind.

He opened his mouth to alert his teammates.

Just at this time.

Gotze passed the ball.

Without passing it to anyone else, the football fell directly to Chen Yingxiong's feet.

At this time, the other Barcelona players realized that Chen Yingxiong was no longer in the penalty area...

But when did he get here?

Many people are confused.

At this time, I didn’t bother to find the answer to this question.

A group of people rushed towards Chen Yingxiong.

Center backs, full backs, defensive midfielders, wingers... rushed at him from four directions.

Among them, the right back Alvis is stuck on the route that Chen Yingxiong wants to go forward. As long as Chen Yingxiong passes the football, he will surrender.

Piqui rushed forward as soon as he discovered Chen Yingxiong, intending to block Chen Yingxiong's shooting angle. In addition, he also plans to work with Alves to block Chen Yingxiong's breakthrough.

But Chen Yingxiong didn't dribble the ball forward. After he stopped the football, he stretched his left leg directly on the spot.

Followed by a shot!

The left foot was like the end of a whip, quickly hitting the football.

There was a bang.

The football flew close to the turf and headed towards the... near corner of the goal!

Chen Yingxiong chose a shooting opportunity that no one expected, and also chose a shooting angle that no one expected!

Just kick off and go straight to the near corner!

The ball slipped between Piqué and Alves.

Goalkeeper Valdez's reaction was obviously a beat too slow - because he didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to shoot so suddenly!

He fell to the ground and threw himself on his side, but it was already too late.

The football flew past his hand.

Then he brushed against the goalpost and dove in the ball...

The ball...the ball went in!

※※※

When they saw the football flying into the goal, everyone was stunned for a moment. Some people don't believe their eyes. They stared at the field with wide eyes. As if this would allow him to see more clearly.

Few people expected Liverpool to score so early in the game.

You know, it's not even ten minutes yet!

But soon Anfield Stadium erupted in huge cheers. The sound was deafening, sweeping across the world, and the breathtaking wave came towards the face.

"We are ahead! We are ahead! In the eighth minute, we are ahead of Barcelona!" Liverpool FC commentator Harry Levy shouted excitedly into the microphone.

But his voice was drowned in the cheers of the Liverpool fans.

"Long live Liverpool——!!Long live the hero——!!!"
