Chapter 712 A goalkeeper who doesn’t want to be a striker is not a good defender [Part [-]]
He didn't know what others thought of Levi, and he didn't want to know. He applauded vigorously from the sidelines, which was his recognition of Neuer.
In fact, when Liverpool decided to attack, their defense was destined to have a lot of holes.
Even if it is an iron bucket formation, few teams can guarantee that they will not concede a goal against Barcelona coached by Guardiola.Not to mention that now Liverpool dare to attack.
Of course, although Liverpool's defense is in danger, in fact Barcelona's situation is similar to Liverpool's.
Neuer resolved a single shot by Barcelona this time, and Liverpool immediately fought back here.
After Yaya Toure and Griezmann made a two-for-one hit to the wall, Yaya Toure dribbled the ball to the bottom line and made a right-footed cross.
Suarez jumped high and headed the goal, but unfortunately the football hit the crossbar and eventually bounced into the stands.
…………
Guardiola's face is serious. He knows that the situation looks evenly matched now, but in fact it is not good for Barcelona.
Some of Barcelona's players became visibly irritable when handling the ball.
No wonder they are impatient.
Many fans know very well that Barcelona play total defense. When Liverpool attack, even Messi will come back to participate in the press. When the ball returns to Barcelona, Messi and the others have to rush to attack again. It consumes a lot.
Although Barcelona's physical reserves are very good, no matter how good their physical fitness is, they can't break through the boundaries of human beings. The great thing is that other players who play like this die in six or 10 minutes, and you die in seven or 10 minutes.
When attacking, players like Messi and Pedro have not recovered their physical fitness for a while, and there is no way to display some wonderful extraordinary moves.Although the physical recovery time is very short, it may only take a second, but the football field is changing rapidly, and just one second is enough to make the flaws in the defense line in front of you disappear and turn into a seamless steel wall.
In addition to physical constraints, Guardiola believes that psychological pressure is the most important issue for Barcelona players now.
Scoring two goals in a row in the second half is already a heavy task, and the players are more or less burdened with a certain psychological burden.
And when Liverpool attacked, they experienced the ecstasy that had just begun, and found that their offense failed to form a goal, but the opponent's offense endangered their own goal.In this case, it will become very important who gets the first goal. If Liverpool scores, Barcelona can be declared dead.And when Barcelona scored a goal, the gap between them and Liverpool was only one goal. The psychological pressure of Barcelona players would definitely be greatly reduced, and their morale would be greatly shaken, while Liverpool's morale would be plummeted.
And that's why Barcelona players get impatient with the ball, they want to score too much.
People often encounter such problems in life. The more you want to finish this thing quickly, the more accidents will happen, and then you will spend a longer time to do it well, and even end up messing things up. up.
Barcelona players are going through such a stage.
Even if Liverpool fail to score, the pressure will only mount as time goes on and Barcelona themselves fail to score.
The reason is simple, they are still two goals behind!
Every minute that passes, means that Barcelona's time is getting tighter.
Now it's No. 60 minutes, not counting stoppage time in the second half, and now there are only 10 minutes left for Barcelona!
…………
Sometimes pressure is motivation, which can force people to their amazing potential.
Alves dribbled the ball and passed it to Iniesta at halftime. After receiving the ball, Iniesta made adjustments and suddenly passed through Liverpool's entire defense with a through ball.
"Barcelona's good chance!" The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly.
"No! Neuer, he rushed out again!"
Pedro has run as hard as he can, trying to get the football away before Neuer.But football is moving in the direction of Neuer, and Neuer himself is not slow.
"Bang!" Neuer shoveled the ball directly. He was so powerful that the football was shoveled out of the sideline.
"Neuer! It's Neuer again! Why is it always Neuer!" The Spanish commentator repeated the name of the Liverpool goalkeeper almost bewildered.
Anfield stadium again sounded overwhelming cheers.
Although Liverpool did not score, it has to be said that Neuer's performance made people feel excited.
"I actually want to say, is he really a goalkeeper?" The England commentator shouted hoarsely: "But I love him to death! He may be able to cause changes in the goalkeeper position!"
Guardiola held his head in his hands, with an unbelievable look on his face, he didn't even know what to say!
Was Iniesta's pass bad?
Do not!
In the eyes of professionals, Iniesta's through ball can be called the most exciting pass of the game so far.The football directly penetrated the defense zone of the three Liverpool players, directly tore Liverpool's defense line to pieces, and sent the football behind the Liverpool defenders.
Is Pedro not doing well?
No, Guardiola knew very well that Pedro's running was very exciting just now. Not to mention avoiding Liverpool's offside trap, he also used the opportunity of Liverpool's defense to rush forward at the first time, so that the Liverpool defender had no time to catch up. .
At the same time, he did not make any mistakes when chasing the football. Since there was no slippage on the soles of his feet, and he did not handle the football carelessly, from his successful anti-offside to being tackled by Neuer, Pedro ran at full speed.
Perhaps some demanding fans will think that if Pedro is a little faster, Barcelona can score.
But in good conscience, Pedro's performance has really tried his best.And is Pedro slow?As a winger and the main player of Barcelona, Pedro's speed is definitely the top part of all football players.
It can only be said that Liverpool's goalkeeper is too perverted!
…………
Not to mention that Guardiola was stunned, Levi was also stunned.
What are these performances!
No wonder so many fans ridicule that Neuer is a goalkeeper with a forward heart.
Who would dare to do this with other goalkeepers?
As long as there is a little hesitation and a little slow speed, Pedro will be kicked into football.
At that time, the goalkeeper will fly to Pedro again, but it will be a penalty and a yellow card, or it will be a red card.
If there is no flying shovel to Pedro, the Spanish winger can also calmly push the empty goal.
But Neuer dared to attack!
The previous run was 40 meters, and this time it was more than 30 meters.
The most important thing is that he succeeded!
