Chapter 336 Blood-stained battlefield
Seeing that Messi was about to rush into his own penalty area, Puyol quickly rushed out and intercepted.
As a former teammate, Puyol knows Messi's excellence very well.
Once Messi is allowed to rush into the penalty area, with his super fast action frequency, the defensive players dare not step on their feet.
When I was training in Barcelona, they had a lot of losses, such as these defenders, either getting beaten or getting penalty kicks.
Seeing his former captain Puyol come out to intercept, Messi trolled the ball to the left and did not continue to rush into Barcelona's penalty area, but began to dribble horizontally along the penalty area line, preparing to open the space and hit it directly
Door.
Messi's intention was soon seen through by Barcelona's defensive players. Marcos, who had been kaka, rushed back in time to make up for the defense, blocking the gap that Messi had just opened.
Messi did not give up when he found the space disappeared, so he played a fried croquette and dribbled the ball around Marcos. After flashing a gap, he did not give other Barcelona players a chance to make up for defense. He immediately made an arc with his left foot.
The ball shot.
"Bang!"
The ball drew a wonderful arc and flew towards the upper right corner of the Barcelona goal.
Messi's shot was very hidden. After the ball passed by Marcos in front of him, goalkeeper Valdes saw the trajectory of the ball's flying.
The ball was fast and fast, and the angle was clever. It was too late for Valdes to make saves at this time.
By the time Valdes flew over, the ball had already flown into the net.
“GOAL!”
With Messi's goal, Crystal Palace once again tied the score on the court to 3:3.
"Good guy, this Champions League final has really turned into a goal battle!"
"Yes, after only more than 60 minutes of playing, the two teams have scored six goals, an average of one goal in ten minutes, which is so exciting!"
"I like to watch this kind of final, which is much better than those that only play defensively."
"At present, it's hard to say who wins and loses in this game."
"That's the best. None of the two teams dares to relax. I guess there will be goals in the future."
......
The fans were excited to see the goal after the goal, but Rijkaard, one of the parties involved, couldn't be happy.
Crystal Palace kept chasing, and Barcelona could never establish a lead, which made the stone hanging in his heart unable to put down.
Especially when he saw Ronaldinho having gasped on his hips several times, the feeling of anxiety became more and more obvious.
After looking at the time, Rijkald gritted his teeth and couldn't care about that much. Then he turned around and called out Harvey and Yinnista from the bench.
After a simple warm-up, he replaced Ronaldinho and Deco with Xavi and Yinnesta.
It has to be said that Rijcard's actions were still very timely. The appearance of these two new forces immediately reversed the situation where Barcelona gradually fell into a disadvantage due to Ronaldinho's physical strength decline.
Maybe he was worried that Chen Ran underestimated the two substitutes, Xavi and Yinnesta, who came on the bench. After seeing Barcelona's substitution moves, Guardiola immediately came to Chen Ran.
"Boss, Xavi and Yinnista are very capable, and they are both from La Macia and have a tacit understanding. After they play, the threat may not be much worse than Ronaldinho, we still want it
Be more careful.”
"Well, Josep, what you said makes sense."
Chen Ran nodded. Of course, he, the reborn, knew very well.
"You'll inform Modric and Fabregas to warm up now, and use them to replace Tony and Yaya. Toure."
"Then Fabregas, Modric and Mascherano formed three midfielders, and the team's formation also changed from 4231 to 433's frontless formation."
"Transfer to Tony? Boss, didn't you like using high-altitude bombing tactics when you couldn't open the situation in the end?"
Guardiola glanced at Chen Ran in surprise. Is this the boss who likes to hoard a bunch of big men and bombard him?
He glared at Guardiola speechlessly, and Chen Ran retorted back with anger.
"What do I like to use high-altitude bombing tactics? This is the only tactic that can quickly take effect when I can't open the situation."
"As for why I don't use it now, have you forgotten our injury list?"
"Jan Kohler, Vieira, Vidic, Chiellini are all absent due to injuries. The remaining players can no longer form the effect of cluster bombing, do you understand?"
"So that's it, I understand."
Guardiola rolled her eyes secretly in her heart. It turned out that it wasn't that you, you, have changed your sex life, but the current conditions do not allow it.
Soon, Rijkald saw that Crystal Palace used Fabregas and Modric to replace Tony and Yaya and Toure.
"No front-line formation?"
Rijkaard, who had carefully studied all the recent game videos of Crystal Palace, immediately reacted.
The characteristic of this formation is that almost all offensives are initiated by the back. Before launching the offensive, all offensive players are outside the penalty area, and there is no way to set up guards in advance.
Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka on the Crystal Palace are all attacking players with fast speed, good skills and strong ability to drive the ball, which is especially suitable for this tactical style.
Many strong teams have suffered their losses before, and Rijkaard deeply understood this when studying the game video.
After repeated weighing, Rijkaard immediately called out from the bench to a more mobile and flexible French international Abidal who can play both central defenders and left-backs.
After a simple warm-up, he replaced Brazilian central defender Edmilson with Abidal.
Then Puyol and Toulam were paired with the centre-back, Abidal played left-back, and Zambrota played right-back.
In this way, among the four defenders on Barcelona, Puyol, Abidal and Toulam are all players who can play both central defenders and full-backs, and Zambrota is also the left and right full-backs.
A competent all-rounder.
It can be said that Barcelona's current defense line has definitely achieved the ultimate in terms of flexibility and mobility. In order to resist Chen Ran's frontless formation tactics, Rijcard has racked his brains.
Seeing Rijkald's response, Chen Ran was also very impressed. This guy really studied Crystal Palace thoroughly.
However, with Abidal, Puyor, Turam and Zambrota, they wanted to defend against Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka, the three attackers, which were obviously a bit whimsical.
Compared with the previous midfielder combination of Yaya Toure and Mascherano, Chen Ran's ability to organize offense is much stronger, who has just replaced Modric and Fabregas.
Under their organizational dispatch, Crystal Palace's offensive trio had a greater threat than in the first half.
When the ball fell into Crystal Palace again, Modric dribbled the ball directly from the midfield.
He first played a two-by-one fight with Fabregas, and passed Yinnesta who came up to press. Then he played a two-by-one fight with Kaka, and then moved Harvey who came to intercept him.
Immediately before Marcos rushed over to grab the ball, Modric sent out a straight pass through Barcelona's entire defense line, passing the ball to Messi who was running forward from the right at high speed.
Messi used his speed to cut from Abidal's outside into the inside and directly penetrated into Barcelona's penalty area.
When he found that the situation was not good, Puyor, who was now playing against the left central defender, rushed over to make up for the defense.
Facing Puyol who was rushing towards him with great momentum, Messi changed direction and continued to move towards the bottom line.
Then before Puyor stretched out his foot to block the ball, he used his shooting force to pull the ball into the middle with a broom.
At the same time, according to the tactical requirements set by Chen Ran, Kaka in the middle and Ronaldo in the left side rushed forward at high speed.
Because Messi's passing power was too strong and his speed was too fast, Kaka was one step slower and unable to catch up.
However, because Ronaldo on the left was far away, when he rushed over, the ball just flew over.
Without time to adjust, Ronaldo immediately jumped into the top of a dive bombardment fish and threw his body out.
At this time, Barcelona's right center back Toulam also stretched out his foot, trying to break the ball out of the baseline.
"Bang!"
"ah!"
Ronaldo hit the ball, but Toulam's foot also hit his head.
The ball flew towards Barcelona's goal like a shell out of the borehole. Valdes tried his best to rush over, but was still a step slower, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding.
“GOAL!”
With Ronaldo's desperate leaping towards the top, Crystal Palace once again led Barcelona 4:3.
However, now everyone can't care about scoring goals.
Ronaldo, who was kicked in the head by Toram, fell to the ground immediately and blood flowed out with the naked eye.
"Go and save people!"
On the sidelines, without waiting for the referee to indicate, Chen Ran immediately urged the team doctor on the bench to enter the field to save Ronaldo.
At this time, the Luzhniki Stadium, which had more than 80,000 people, fell into silence, with neither cheers nor boos.
Whether it is the fans of Crystal Palace or Barcelona, although everyone has different positions, no one wants something to happen to the player.
Looking at Ronaldo lying on the court from afar, Chen Ran felt even more nervous than the team's score.
Never have to worry!
Never have to worry!
If possible, Chen Ran would rather give up this goal in exchange for Ronaldo's health.
Fortunately, after emergency treatment from the team doctor, it was confirmed that Ronaldo was not seriously injured.
Next to the corner of his left eye, a wound about three centimeters long was kicked out by Tulam's shoe nails. Fortunately, he did not hurt his eyes, which was finally a blessing in disgrace.
After carrying Ronaldo out of the court on the stretcher, the team doctor sewed Ronaldo's eyes on the sidelines.
Seeing that Ronaldo was not seriously injured, Chen Ran felt relieved and turned around and called Guardiola to his side.
"Josep, hurry up and let Alves warm up, and use him to replace Ronaldo later. Then let Messi play on the left, and Alves takes over Messi's position."
"Okay, boss."
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Guardiola was about to set up a replacement, a voice came over.
Ronaldo, who had just finished sewing a needle, got up from the stretcher, "Boss, I can continue the game!"
"Chris..."
Guardiola originally wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Ronaldo's firm eyes, he swallowed the rest of the words back.
"Chris, for me, the Champions League trophy is far less important than your health. You have performed well enough today, and leave the rest to your teammates."
Chen Ran shook his head firmly, and what he said just now was the truth.
"Boss, I have no health problems anymore. I want to help the team complete the three consecutive Champions League championships!"
Chen Ran ignored Ronaldo and turned to look at the team doctor standing aside.
“Is it really okay for Chris to continue playing in the competition?”
"Forehead......"
Looking at Ronaldo's eager eyes, the team doctor at Crystal Palace took a deep breath.
"Boss, my professional skills tell me that Chris is not suitable for continuing to compete now."
"I understand. Josep, why are you still standing there? Follow my arrangement!"
"Okay, boss."
Hearing Chen Ran's order, Guardiola quickly turned around and ran to execute.
Seeing that Chen Ran had made up his mind, Ronaldo, who grew up with Chen Ran, dared not lose his temper at Chen Ran, and it was not easy to get angry at the team doctor who had just saved him. He could only sulk alone.
"Okay, Chris is just the Champions League champion trophy. As long as you keep following me, there will be times when you lift it with your own hands in the future."
After patting Ronaldo on the shoulder, Chen Ran comforted him a little, and then handed him over to the team doctor.
At this time, the referee, who saw that Ronaldo was not seriously injured, was relieved, and then called Toram in front of him and showed a yellow card.
"Not a red card?"
This question immediately popped up in the minds of countless people.
Suddenly, the Luzhniki Stadium, which was still calm before, was boiling again, and tens of thousands of fans of Crystal Palace burst into deafening booing.
On the sidelines, Chen Ran, who saw the referee's decision, did not react fiercely. He silently opened the system and used a "Hawkeye Guardian Card".
Then, although the players of Crystal Palace surrounded the referee and expressed their dissatisfaction, the referee still had no intention of changing the judgment. Instead, he showed a yellow card to Pepe, who was most excited.
Seeing this result, Chen Ran immediately understood in his heart that it was impossible to get the referee to show a red card to Toram.
In order to avoid worse results, Chen Ran immediately called Modric, who was closest to him.
"Little Luca, go and call them all back and prepare to continue the game. Especially Pepe, you can't let him be chaotic."
"I understand, boss."
The honest and obedient Modric immediately rushed towards the Crystal Palace player surrounding the referee. While conveying Chen Ran's orders, he pulled Pepe back tightly.
The angry Pepe wanted to break free from Modric's pull and continue to talk to the referee. When he suddenly heard that it was Chen Ran's order, he immediately became depressed.
The Champions League final, which was interrupted by Ronaldo's injury and more than ten minutes, is finally going to continue.
Chapter completed!
