754 The victory is sealed!

First, Henry caught Iniesta's straight pass on the left, shot at the goal at a small angle in front of the baseline, but was blocked by Reina and then Barcelona failed to create a threat.

But just one minute later, it was another counterattack from Barcelona's midfielder's intercepted the ball. Etoo passed back Xavi, who dribbled the ball to the outside of the penalty area and suddenly passed it with a kick.

At the critical moment, Carragher headed the ball before Henry and Messi, rushed out of the baseline, and another corner kick.

This time, Barcelona's corner kick was pushed into Renner's arms by Pique, but it still failed to create a threat.

The good times didn't last long. The La Liga giants launched another offensive. This time, Iniesta dribbled the ball from the left and cut into the penalty area, and directly shot, but the angle was too straight and Reina hugged it tightly with both hands.

...

From the 70th minute, Barcelona launched waves of offensives one after another, making Liverpool almost huddled in his own half and defended his life, not daring to be careless at all.

Every player has tried his best to devote himself to the game and strives to ensure that the goal is not lost.

Liverpool quickly made its first substitution adjustment, replacing Aurelio with central defender Daniel Agg.

The Brazilian left-back was on the left to guard Etoo on the left in this game. It can be said that he worked diligently and did not make any mistakes, but the long pass he gave to Yang Yang became his most eye-catching performance in this game.

But in this high-intensity game, Aurelio's physical energy is consumed a lot, and now Barcelona has further strengthened their offensive and replaced Messi back to the right. Therefore, Benitez chose to replace him and let Avelloa come to the left back position.

In this way, Liverpool's defense became a combination of Aveloa, Daniel Ag, Scotter and Carragher.

The three midfielders in the frontcourt remained unchanged, but made some adjustments in part. Gareth Barrie paid more attention to protecting the left side, because Aveloa was the right-footed player, and the more important task was to cut Barcelona's inward cut from the right, but facing Alves' cross from the bottom, Gareth Barrie needed to return to defense.

Liverpool has already practiced this defensive tactic before the game. Once Benitez adjusts, the players on the court have already understood what they should do.

…………

…………

When he was getting the ball from the right, Messi dribbled the ball from the right and cut horizontally into the front of the penalty area, trying to throw away Aveloa with speed, but failed to do so. Instead, Mascherano came to help prevent and intercept.

In a hurry, Messi rushed to shoot directly.

The ball was once again held in Reina's arms and failed to threaten.

Barcelona's number one star was so depressed that he raised his head and looked very distressed.

Just now, Guardiola made adjustments and put Etoo in the middle to let Messi return to the right he is most familiar with. The purpose of this is obviously to hope that Messi can escape from the middle where Liverpool has the most tight defense.

In this game, Liverpool focused on defense in the middle and the front of the penalty area, and especially arranged for the national team friend Mascherano, who was very familiar with Messi, to drag it behind. Messi seemed to be trapped in this area in a dark quagmire and could not move at all, and did not perform well in the whole game.

Guardiola asked Messi to switch to the right and return to his most familiar position, obviously hoping that he could recreate the threat, but unexpectedly, Benitez, who was as cunning as a fox, made an adjustment immediately.

Two years ago, in February, Aveloa's first game to join Liverpool was entrusted by Benitez with an important task, playing as the left back in the Champions League knockout round, and completely frozen Messi in those two games.

Now, after two years, Benitez has once again replaced Aveloa to the left back, which is definitely targeted.

...

Although Messi was distressed, the game continued.

Back to the right-wing he is most familiar with, Messi becomes the key to whether Barcelona can turn the situation around.

Guardiola handed over the most important task of breaking through Liverpool's defense to Messi, hoping that the Argentine superstar can lead Barcelona to break through Liverpool's defense with his own strength.

It's like what Yang Yang just did.

Messi also worked very hard because he was extremely eager to prove to everyone that he was no worse than Yang Yang.

Soon, he dribbled the ball and cut in from the right again, but suddenly threw Aveloa away and passed it to the back point to Henry who cut in from the left, but Scotter took the lead, headed the ball and pushed the ball out of the outside of the penalty area.

Iniesta followed up and took a long shot from outside the penalty area before Xavi Alonso, which was high.

Just four minutes later, Messi took the ball on the right again, used the change of speed and direction to forcefully pass Aveloa, and passed the ball low at the edge of the penalty area to the front point, but Daniel Agg appeared in front of the goal in time, blocking Etoo with his body, blocking the ball out of the outside of the penalty area.

Gareth Barry made a long pass directly and sent it to the frontcourt.

Yang Yang retreated in the frontcourt to get the ball, blocking Puyor with his body. After stopping the ball with his chest, he pulled the ball behind him and directly pushed the ball towards Barcelona's penalty area.

Gerald and Kuyt succeeded in counterattacking at the same time and rushed into Barcelona's penalty area, but the speed was a little slow. Valdes, who was abandoned, took the lead and fell to the ground and hugged him as soon as the ball entered the penalty area.

...

After Liverpool scored a goal, both sides no longer had any reservations.

Especially Barcelona, ​​after falling behind by one goal, Guardiola has basically no other choice.

When the game reached the 76th minute, Barcelona made the second substitution of the game.

Icelandic striker Good Johnson replaced Henry, which was another substitution to adjust the team's frontcourt offensive tactics.

Good Johnson has the physical fitness of a Nordic player, with a height of 1.85 meters, excellent strength confrontation, very active running, and good skills under his feet. He can compete in multiple different positions in the midfield and forward, and is considered a panacea.

At this time, Guardiola replaced Henry with Good Johnson, which was obviously necessary to play the tactical role of the Icelandic striker in the frontcourt and let him fight against Liverpool's Carragher, Scotter and Daniel Ager to fight against defenders like Liverpool, creating gaps for Etoo and Messi.

...

After the substitution, Barcelona continued to increase their offense.

As the game time gradually fades, the time left for Barcelona is getting less and less.

It can be clearly felt that Barcelona players on the court have become more and more urgent, and even become a little anxious.

After the substitution, Liverpool did not make a second substitution, but instead responded to changes.

After a long period of adjustment, Benitez was full of confidence in the team's physical fitness, and after taking the lead, the players became more motivated and more patient on the court.

Yang Yang was still patiently looking for opportunities.

…………

…………

In the 83rd minute, Alves gave Messi a wonderful pass when he broke into the penalty area from the right, but the Argentinian's shot hit Daniel Agge and bounced out of the bottom line.

Barcelona got a corner kick opportunity.

The La Liga giants quickly sent a corner kick, but Liverpool firmly controlled the commanding heights in the penalty area. Daniel Agg headed the ball and Xavi Alonso on the outside took the lead and stabbed the ball in front.

Yang Yang held the ball with his back to the offensive direction. Facing Puyol who was entangled behind him, he chose to take a step back and quickly passed it to Gerald, who was undefensive on the right.

Liverpool launched a counterattack quickly, but Barcelona's return to defense was also very fast.

Gerald dribbled the ball along the right, Kuyt followed in the middle, while Yang Yang deliberately fell behind Kuyt.

Although the game has come to an end, Barcelona's defense return speed is still very fast.

Silvinho went to the wing to guard Gerald, Puyol, Pique and Busquets all returned to the penalty area, and there were also Xavi, Iniesta, Goodjord, and Barcelona who returned to the defense were very strong.

Gerald pushed Sylvinho away on the right, forced his kick, and passed the ball low to the penalty area.

Kuyt had already rushed to the front of the small penalty area. After seeing Gerald unable to break through Sylvinho, he turned around, turned his back to the goal, and stopped the ball.

Stop, push forward!

Yang Yang deliberately kept a distance from Kuyt before in order to better capture Barcelona's defensive loopholes and take advantage of the second-tier attack. At this time, he saw Kuyt stop the ball, and he immediately accelerated and rushed forward.

Kuyt's ball came to Yang Yang, stopped to the left, and just opened the distance between the snatched Busquets. He got a chance to kick the ball. Yang Yang directly shot with his left foot.

Busquets tried to block the ball, but the ball still flew past him.

Valdes flew to make a save, but he still failed to touch the ball in the end.

In the penalty area, as long as Yang Yang is given a chance to raise his feet, he will be confident enough to create a threat.

And this time, the ball was as expected, almost rubbing against the left post and hitting the goal behind him.

...

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

"In the 84th minute, Liverpool will win another goal!"

"It's still a quick counterattack, the left foot shot from Yang Yang!"

“Two to zero!”

"This is definitely a goal that makes Barcelona feel desperate!"

"When Barcelona returned to defense, they made a hasty mistake. Yang Yang's very smart running position allowed him to escape from the defense of Barcelona players and finally got a chance to hit the ball in the penalty area."

"Scoring twice! Yang Yang helped Liverpool secure the victory!"

"Unless Barcelona performs a miraculous reversal, or if Liverpool itself collapses, Yang Yang's goal will secure the victory for Liverpool."

...

Yang Yang rushed to the sidelines excitedly, but was quickly carried onto the grass by Kuyt.

Gerald followed him and quickly rushed up, jumping onto Kuyt.

Then, Liverpool players rushed up one after another, and a stack of ramblings was staged outside Barcelona's penalty area.

The Liverpool fans all screamed wildly.
