Chapter 350: Kneeling at Camp Nou
"Xu Qi is indeed very capable. Marxville encountered great trouble when defending him, and his speed could not keep up with Xu Qi's rhythm at all. This time, Xu Qi created one of his yellow cards. Next, Marxville should be more careful when doing the moves!" He Wei explained.
However, the position of the set piece was a bit far from the penalty area, and Valencia just pushed it lightly and began to organize the attack.
It is indeed a very difficult thing to deal with Barcelona. The ball came to Xu Qi's feet on the right side again. After Xu Qi took the ball, he faced Marxville again.
Bang!
Xu Qi was able to directly force down and overtake, and he grasped the rhythm very well. At this time, Marxwell did not dare to move on his hands at all, so Xu Qi forced a pass.
However, before Soldado hit, the ball was cleared by Puyol.
"Xu Qi's cross is very threatening, and he passed a low ball. Fortunately, Puyor is skilled and brave. If it were another defender, it is very likely that he would directly create an own goal." He Wei did not forget to praise Barcelona's team spirit Puyor.
Valencia has always wanted the pace to get faster, but Barcelona forced the game to the rhythm they adapt to when they were in possession of the ball.
They are good at boiling frogs in warm water. It is difficult for you to take back the ball when they control the ball, but after giving it up, you need to keep a high concentration to prevent their sudden attacks.
But you can't always focus highly. Once they suddenly bring up the rhythm, it's hard for you to suddenly react and keep up with them.
Messi and Villa are all super killers who have been in La Liga for many years. They will appear at critical moments and give their opponents a fatal blow.
Emery kept reminding the players that it is Barcelona's time to control the ball, so you must be careful. The three fronts must be kept tight and try to compress the pass space of Barcelona players.
In Emery's words, it doesn't matter if we play unhappy, the key is that our opponents will play even more unhappy!
Valencia was originally a team that pursued offense, but now they must take the lead in implementing defense.
However, their defense was indeed very successful during this period.
Barcelona has not found any good opportunities yet.
At the beginning, Barcelona was a little slow to heat up. In fact, it has been almost half an hour since the game started. They have gradually controlled the situation and they have gradually become hot.
This is not good news for Valencia, but the five-guard formation does make Barcelona have no choice in a short period of time.
Thirty-eight minutes.
Barcelona took the ball, and after Messi got the ball horizontally, he passed directly to Villa in the penalty area. Villa stepped forward in time and broke into the penalty area, gaining a nearly single shot opportunity.
However, Villa's shot directly hit the post, and his shot did not break through the old master's goal. In a blink of an eye, Mathieu cleared the ball.
Moreover, this was not a simple clearance, because Mathieu passed the ball to Banéga's feet.
This player, who once claimed to be Redondo's third generation, still has not played as expected, but in Valencia, he is still deeply trusted by Emery.
At this moment, he took the ball very calmly, and it was time to show his talent.
Facing the pressure from Barcelona team Busquets, he took the ball and turned around and threw away Busquets!
A very cool and exciting bracelet breakthrough.
Then, the ball was directly passed forward, where Soldado had already started.
Valencia got an excellent counterattack opportunity!
This is exactly the opportunity Emery wanted to get before the game. Barcelona did not succeed in an attack. In turn, the counterattack opportunity created by Valencia will be the best opportunity to score!
La Liga players have good ability to handle the balls under their feet. They play this counterattack very clearly. The ball that Banegas gave Soldado was very accurate, just in the center that neither Pique nor Puyor could reach.
Soldado quickly stepped forward and just took the lead in grabbing the football. Then he faced two of the top defenders in football today, so he naturally did not dare to break through. Instead, he swept out of the corner of his eye to Xu Qi who had quickly inserted into the right side!
He pulled the ball, turned his back to Pique, and directly sent the ball to the right, hitting a time difference, just behind Marxville!
Xu Qi rushed forward and threw Marxwell away!
Then, Xu Qi dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
"Xu Qi, you've entered the penalty area! Solda made the ball very exquisitely once!" He Wei's voice increased octave, obviously very excited about the opportunity Valencia won.
Xu Qi's rhythm was very well controlled, and his body was strong enough that Marcosville had no choice but to do anything to him.
At this time, Xu Qi had already entered the penalty area, and Marcosville was even more afraid to make moves.
After seeing Xu Qi grab the ball on the side, Pique quickly intercepted Xu Qi, while Puyol followed Soldado.
In the penalty area, Pique's return to defense was in place, and Xu Qi had no chance to kick. At the critical moment, he saw Soldado who also entered the penalty area!
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi made a choice. He made a fake move that he wanted to shoot, and then his right foot did not touch the ball. Then, his left foot stretched out like a ghost and poked the ball directly. Pique obviously did not see through Xu Qi's fake move. He was completely deceived by Xu Qi. He could only watch Xu Qi pass the ball through his crotch and poke it to Soldado!
The attack did not end there, because Soldado had no chance to shoot at all. You know, Puyol was still watching him!
But Xu Qi did not penetrate the ball in front of Soldado, but behind Soldado.
At the same time, Xu Qi had already told the start, passing through Pique from his side and rushing towards the penalty spot.
Soldado understood it carefully, resisted Puyol with his body, stretched his legs in the direction of the ball, touched the ball gently, and sent the ball back to Xu Qi!
With a perfect cooperation, the two broke through the super defense line composed of Pique and Puyol!
Xu Qi kept up quickly without any hesitation. He rushed over from the right side, so he was naturally more suitable to shoot with his left foot at this time.
With his current left foot ability, there is no problem with handling such a shot!
Xu Qi kicked and shot!
Shoot with one kick!
With his left foot exerted force, the ball rushed out like a shell, while Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes could only make a symbolic save. He could not save this ball at all!
On the left side of the goal, top corner!
A blind spot!
The ball is super fast, how could he save?
The ball has entered!
Xu Qi set the first record in the Camp Nou when facing the powerful Barcelona!
A perfect cooperation with Soldado made him break Barcelona's goal with his left foot!
One to zero! Valencia leads!
How can we celebrate without passion at this time?
Xu Qi also saw a large number of Valencian fans gathered in a corner of Camp Nou.
He ran to the fan area, then after a sprint, he pressed his knees on the turf and performed a Camp Nou slip-kneel!
He opened his arms and began to enjoy the worship of the fans!
Chapter completed!
