*****
Following the whistle of the referee, the players of both sides also turned around and entered the player channel, and returned to their respective locker rooms to prepare for the second half of the game.
Messi opened the scoring for the team in the first half. When his teammates entered the locker room, they did not forget to kiss him, stroked his head, and expressed their concern.
In stark contrast to him was Ai Luo's facial expression, frowning. The team failed to equalize the score in the first half, and he believed that he was also responsible.
In the first half, apart from the chance when he suddenly started an inside cut and was brought down by Oleg, he had two direct free kicks, but he kicked them into the stands.
So at this time, Ai Luo seemed particularly remorseful.
As his fame rose, he also gradually felt a sense of responsibility from the heart. When the team failed to open up the situation, he would always subconsciously think that it was because he was not doing well enough.
……
……
"Are you nervous about this game?"
As soon as the players came in, Flores suddenly asked.
No one expected that Flores would be so sudden.
"Uh, sort of..."
"how is this possible?"
"Not nervous at all"
……
……
After reacting, everyone answered in a hurry.
Flores quickly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop. After everyone quieted down, he coughed and said:
"I know that this game is a bit difficult for everyone. Of course, it is the same for me. Everyone and I are walking on a road that has never been taken, so we need to keep exploring to know how to continue. But... this kind of exploration will definitely lead to detours, but I hope everyone remembers one thing, that is, no matter what, remember our tradition!!"
Speaking of the latter, his voice rose an octave.
Tradition?
Many people at the scene did not know the traditions of Valencia. It is estimated that apart from Flores, the three veterans, Caniceres, Albelda and Baraja, know the traditions of Valencia.
So the above three subconsciously whispered: "We will fight to defend everything!"
If it is used here, it is... to fight to defend the dignity of the La Liga champion!
Because - we are the La Liga champions!
Why let Barcelona, the La Liga runner-up, show off its power here?Even if this is their home field!Also bow your head and bow down!
Before Flores finished speaking, he found that the fighting spirit of the players was almost back. He nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything more. Sometimes it's not a good thing to talk too much. Enough is enough, so he quickly shifted the topic to the tactics of the second half. "Barcelona is definitely not satisfied with leading by one goal in the first half. It is estimated that they will continue to attack in the second half, so we need to defend first, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack..."
Having said that, Flores suddenly paused and looked at Ai Luo.
The meaning is self-evident, the counterattack in this game depends on you.
Ai Luo nodded solemnly.
It's just that he doesn't care about this game in his heart.
……
……
The locker room of the home team was another scene. Rijkaard didn't say too many words, but directly talked about the tactics of the second half.
In his heart, scoring a goal in this game is far from enough.
Therefore, the tactic in the second half is to attack! !
*****
After the start of the second half, the home team Barcelona continued to play in the first half, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Barcelona had stepped up its offense. Except for right back Oleg not allowed to participate in the attack, left back Van Bronckhorst and Deco, one of the double midfielders, were all involved in the attack.
On the defensive end, there are only two central defenders and a right back plus Van Bommel, four people.
Rijkaard was able to make up his mind in this game and only let Van Bommel help defend Aiello still has his own ideas, because Van Bommel has already figured out Aiello in the past two contests.
And he also found the latter's shortcomings from the clips of Ai Luo's highlights this season.
Of Aiello's 38 goals this season, in addition to four direct free kicks and three headers, 31 of the remaining 29 goals have been scored with his right foot.
In other words, Ai Luo's left and right feet are extremely unbalanced, so he rarely hits the goal with his left foot.
Therefore, Van Bommel's defense has become much simpler, as long as he pays attention to whether Ai Luo's intention is to hit the goal with his right foot.
So from the beginning of this game to the present, Ai Luo didn't have any amazing performances, as if he was restricted.
After the start of the second half, Ai Luo still played the same as the first half, very helpless, very aggrieved, and always felt a little powerless.
Although Valencia's starting players recovered their fighting spirit at half-time, sometimes fighting spirit cannot redeem each other's disadvantages, especially when Barcelona's players are in such good form.
Ronaldinho took advantage of a free kick in the No. 605 minute to widen the score to two goals.
*****
After leading by two goals, Barcelona played more and more relaxed and became more and more efficient.
Flores made a decisive decision and quickly replaced Vicente with Albiol, leaving only David Villa and Aiello standing in front.
As the number of defenders in front of the penalty area in Valencia has increased, Barcelona's offense has become less easy.
The two sides returned to the evenly matched situation before the end of the first half.
But this situation is slightly beneficial to Barcelona, because they are already two goals ahead of the visiting team Valencia, and this score is very safe for them.
As long as this game is not scored by Valencia, it will be a perfect game.
Rijkaard turned his head and glanced at Flores, and muttered, "You want to play in the midfield? Okay! I'll accompany you!! But... the victory in this game belongs to me!"
Not long after, Edmilson replaced Deco.
While strengthening the hardness of the middle, it is also preparing for the weekend's King's Cup final.
"Judging from this substitution in Barcelona, Rijkaard is very satisfied with the result. After 10 minutes of the game, he started to prepare for the Copa del Rey final on the weekend..."
Huang Jianxiang is a normal commentator, but the people who hear it will always feel a sense of helplessness.
A few days ago, Ai Luo won the first European top league championship honor for a Chinese player studying abroad, and now he has another chance to advance to the Champions League final, but... in the first round of this game, his condition was not good.
Ai Luo himself is very clear about his performance in this game. Although it is a bit poor, his state is not a problem. He is just looking for new methods. In the past two games with Barcelona, his various scoring methods were basically restricted, so he had to find another way.
Valencia's frontcourt is now only left with Aiello and David Villa, and the latter more often has to take care of the important task of harassing the opponent's central defender near the center circle, so the physical consumption is quite large.
So when fighting back, Ai Luo has a greater responsibility.
The counterattack was as usual, Aiello received a long pass from Albelda, and after the chest unloaded the ball, Van Bommel posted it up with malicious intentions.
David Villa consciously approached this side, trying to greet Ai Luo.
And David Villa's actions naturally attracted Edmilson's attention, so Ai Luo did not send the ball over, but swung his right foot to make an illusion of passing the ball to David Villa.
Van Bommel subconsciously stretched his left leg to steal the ball.
But Aiello is not passing the ball, but fakes.
Swinging his right foot back quickly, he slammed the ball behind him with his heel. Using Van Bommel's subconscious forward movement, he quickly turned his body and passed the latter once.
"It's... Cruyff turned around again!"
Valencia fans, less than 1 in the Camp Nou stands, stood up and shouted after seeing Aiello's action. This is their subconscious action formed after watching Ailuo's wonderful breakthrough this season.
Oleg saw Ai Luo walking past Van Bommel easily, and his reaction was obviously half a beat slow. When Ai Luo was in front of him, he didn't know what to do.
It wasn't until Ai Luo walked past him that he realized it.
At this time, Ai Luo had already run away, directly facing Puyol's defense.
Puyol, based on the experience gained from the previous contest with Ai Luo, must not be able to grab easily, otherwise he will not know how he was passed, so he had to follow Ai Luo's dribbling rhythm and kept retreating.
Meanwhile, Aiello has entered Barcelona's 30-meter zone.
At this moment, Edmilson decisively left David Villa and ran over and knocked Ai Luo to the ground.
The referee whistled for a foul on Edmilson, and at the same time gave him a yellow card. This was a very obvious tactical foul.
After Puyol heard the referee's whistle, he was delighted for a while, and then he felt a little ominous.
It seems... the distance is just right, right?
And Ai Luo's performance seems to confirm his conjecture.
At this place about 28 yards away from the left side of the goal area, Aiello did not disappoint the expectations of the Valencia fans. On the third direct free kick in the audience, the goalkeeper Valdez who kicked the world wave did not respond at all!
Help the team regain a victory.
"This is a priceless away goal!!"
Huang Jianxiang swept away the previous decline, raised his arms and shouted.
Then he seemed to realize another level of significance of the importance of this goal, "Beautiful! This is a goal beyond the legend! The record of 14 goals in a single season in the Champions League has since passed away and changed to the record of [-] goals scored by Chinese player Ai Luo in a single season!"
Similar to Huang Jianxiang's shouting was Hyde, the chief commentator from Valencia's No. 62 Sports Channel, "God! Ai won back 63% for us, and he also created a new record, surpassing the record of 14 goals in a single season created by the famous Milan star Altafini in the [-]-[-] season!!"
"The new Champions League scoring record in a single season has been rewritten by this young Chinese player who is only 20 years old!!"
"Beautiful direct free kick! Handsomely broke the 43-year Champions League scoring record in a single season!"
"While Ai is written on the back of the record, Valencia's name will go down in history!"
