Chapter 295 Leading by Two Goals——

force!

The referee Fricks' whistle blew, his finger pointed to the penalty spot, and at the same time he drew out a yellow card.

"Penalty kick! The referee awarded a penalty kick! Ah! When the home team Alkmaar was leading 2:1, the referee Flix gave Barcelona another blow. He awarded a penalty kick! If this penalty kick is scored, Barcelona basically lost the game."

The narrator's yelling was quickly drowned in the fans' carnival. The fans never thought that the third chance would come so quickly. Alkmaar scored a goal and won a penalty in less than 10 minutes. Chance, as long as this penalty is scored, Alkmaar can at least remain unbeaten, and there is a very high probability of beating the giant Barcelona. Although the fans thought about beating Barcelona before the game, to be honest, even Alkmaar Marl's fans were also beating their hearts, wondering how much chance they had compared with the real giants.

Dirk, who was sitting in the temporary VIP box, also stood up and applauded to congratulate the players. He is very satisfied with the performance of the players today. Being able to lead Barcelona is a remarkable achievement in itself. Now it seems that they It is also possible to extend the score to 3:1.

And the Barcelona chairman Nunez next to Dierk has an ugly expression. He came to the Netherlands with the confidence to win. Although Alkmaar has performed well recently and is a complete dark horse, he is used to big scenes. Nunes does not take Alkmaar seriously. In his opinion, at the stage of the quarterfinals, the dark horses are no longer black. Their style of play and strength have been seen through. It is very difficult to create miracles. But the performance of Alkmaar and Barcelona left him speechless. He watched Dirk applaud excitedly, and he didn't know what it was like.

Ronaldinho stood on the penalty spot, looking a little nervous. Although this penalty does not determine the outcome, it is also of great significance. If this goal is scored, Alkmaar can remain unbeaten, and the psychological advantage is even more obvious , and the missed penalty is likely to be hit by morale, and the following games will become more difficult. Besides, facing Barcelona and facing world-class goalkeeper Baia, scoring a goal is a very honorable thing. Ronaldinho is inevitably a little worried about gains and losses .

Baia was equally nervous. This penalty meant a completely different thing to Barcelona than it did to Alkmaar. For Alkmaar it was the icing on the cake, but for Barcelona it was a matter of life and death. Even an experienced goalkeeper like Baia was still calm. down.

In addition, this matter is also related to Baia's career in Barcelona. After his knee injury two years ago, his position as the main goalkeeper has been unstable. After his tactical style of play, Van Gaal meant to alienate him, and his performance in this important quarter-final of the Champions League almost determined his status in Van Gaal's mind.

Ronaldinho took a few steps back and prepared for a small run-up. After the whistle blew, he ran to the ball and made a volley with his instep, but he paused in the middle, jumping at Baia's body. When turning to the left, he turned his ankle slightly, pushed the right side of the goal, and scored the ball easily.

3:1

There were deafening shouts from the stands. Although there were only a few thousand fans, but because the stadium was small and close to the stands, it created a shocking effect that was not inferior to that of Camp Nou.

"Ronaldinho...! Ronaldinho scored a penalty kick! Ronaldinho, who has been very good before, is only one goal away, and now his performance is perfect. If In the end Alkmaar defeated Barcelona, ​​Ronaldinho contributed the most. Although there was only one assist, the game was completely completed under his organization and leadership. He is the real soul and core of Alkmaar..."

The Dutch commentator shouted hoarsely, with excitement in his voice, because this goal basically determined the outcome of the game.

The Alkmaar players who had already prepared for the celebration rushed forward and overwhelmed Ronaldinho in Barcelona's penalty area, celebrating wildly.

Jiang Mu on the sidelines raised his arms and shouted again, his hanging heart finally fell. Seeing Ronaldinho's nervous look, he was a little worried about missing the penalty kick, because a penalty kick is a psychological battle, and he didn't expect to lose the penalty in the end. Ronaldinho actually overcame the pressure and played a beautiful time difference.

When Fricks whistled a penalty kick, Van Gaal was mentally prepared to concede the ball, but after he actually conceded the ball, he was still very disappointed.Barcelona 1:3, this score really didn't even appear in Van Gaal's mind in a dream, and now, the bright red electronic scoreboard tells Van Gaal that this is a fact!Barcelona is behind, two goals behind, and there are less than 30 minutes left in the game. If Barcelona can't score two goals in these three 10 minutes, then they have to accept the fate of defeat in the away game.

If it is a contest between two teams of comparable strength, such as Real Madrid and Manchester United, losing is not unacceptable. As long as one more goal is scored and the score is 2:3, it will be a victory against Barcelona, ​​but facing Alkmaar like this For a team like this, it is unacceptable to lose, and a 1:3 loss is even more intolerable. If this score is maintained until the end of the game, Van Gaal understands what kind of result is waiting for him.

First of all, he can be sure that the media will criticize him verbally and pens until he is completely criticized.Then came the protests and boos of the fans, followed by the attacks of Nunes' opponent La Bulta and others, and even the rebellion of the players. Barcelona's big-name stars have always had a bad relationship with the Dutch gang. impossible.

But Van Gaal looked at the bench, and only Litmanning and Zenden were left as forwards. Who should be replaced?Figo, Rivaldo or Kluivert, or a striker and a defender?

But no matter what, changes must be made. If this continues, it will be impossible for Barcelona to equalize the score, and there may even be a possibility of conceding a goal.

At this time, Van Gaal decisively showed Tie Shuai's wrist. He waved to Litmanning, and Finn Skate quickly stood up and walked to Van Gaal's side.

"Yari, go up, play on the left and pass the ball to Kluivert." Van Gaal chose to trust his old subordinates at the most dangerous time.

"I play on the left side? Where is Waldo?" Litmanning is still a little confused, because in most people's eyes, Rivaldo's performance is still very good, and he scored the only goal for Barcelona.

"Rivaldo is off." Van Gaal said blankly.

Litmanning stopped talking, he nodded, and immediately went to the sidelines to warm up.

In the 71st minute, Barcelona made an unexpected substitution. Rivaldo, who was serving as a left winger, was replaced, and Finnish striker Litmanning played.

When Rivaldo was substituted, his expression was very surprised. He never thought that he was substituted. When he left the field, he didn't even high-five Litmanning or shake hands with Van Gaal, and turned around directly. Went to the locker room.

The on-site commentator was puzzled and said: "Van Gaal's substitution is really incomprehensible. Barcelona's overall performance in this game is not good, but Rivaldo is definitely the best performer among these players." One, he also scored a goal? Why did Van Gaal replace him? Is it really because of the conflict between the two? If this is the case, then Van Gaal is too stingy, and now Rivaldo is sure I am very angry, and the conflict between the generals has increased, which will not only affect the next decisive battle at the Nou Camp, but may also affect Barcelona's league."

The outside world was surprised by Rivaldo's end, and they all thought that Van Gaal's move was a brain flood and replaced the best player. However, after Litmanning came on the field, Barcelona's situation gradually improved. It's getting smoother and more threatening, while Alkmaar has less time to hold the ball and less counterattacks.

Jiang Mu also noticed this. The reason for this change is that Litmanning stretched wide on the wing. He and Figo left and right, making full use of the width of the wing and his breakthrough cross. ability, and the combination of Guardiola and Harvey in the midfield is a bit weak in defense, but it can fully guarantee that the ball will be delivered to the most offensive place at the fastest speed. Rivaldo, the guy who affects the whole, Barcelona is obviously better than Alkmaar.

Especially Figo, after Rivaldo left the field, his possession of the ball increased significantly. His continuous breakthroughs and crosses with Litmanning from left to right on the wing allowed center Kluivert to grab points and headers. The ball was fully played, and the assist midfielder Enrique also made Alkmaar's defense more and more difficult.

Between the 71st and 75th minutes of the game, Barcelona completed two shots. Both of these shots were completed by Kluivert in the penalty area. This is the first time since the second half, which shows that Barcelona's offense directly threatened the penalty area. Between 75 and 78 minutes, the third, Enrique's long-range shot hit the post again.Xavi took Guardiola's pass and went into the penalty area and was cleared by Lucio when he shot.Alkmaar's penalty area was precarious for a while, making the fans nervous.

Jiang Mu not only admired secretly, but Van Gaal is a famous coach of the generation. It takes courage to dare to replace Rivaldo in such a situation, but it takes a very good vision and on-the-spot command ability to move this place to revitalize the whole audience. .To say that Van Gaal is poor on the spot is actually a misunderstanding. The difference in on-the-spot command depends on who he is compared with. Compared with Mourinho, of course he is worse, but compared with Wenger, he is absolutely superior.

Naturally, Jiang Mu would not sit still. He had already warmed up Thomason and Drogba. When Barcelona was playing well, Jiang Mu changed two players in a row to ease the tension of the game and replaced Drogba. Robben replaced Engel with Thomason, changed the game formation to 442, began to shrink, played intensive defense, and let Barcelona attack. In less than 10 minutes, Barcelona scored two goals if they had the ability, but the premise It is to not let Ronaldinho and Thomason get the chance to fight back.
