Chapter 23 The Key Mr.

There was too little time left in the first half, and Barcelona failed to score another goal in the end. After all, Real Madrid, as an opponent, is not a bottom team. Although the "White Legion" created by Plandelli is not the most luxurious, it is a very practical whole.

In the end, Barcelona could only enter the halftime break with a score of 1:2, but the score of 1:2 is enough to save Barcelona's hope. 0:2 behind and 1:2 behind are completely different feelings, and the team's morale and fighting spirit are completely different.

During the break, Simon Grayson didn't say anything to boost morale. He didn't need to say anything more in this regard. Barcelona players are very clear about what this game against Real Madrid means. At least they must not lose at home.

And Simon Grayson also saw it very clearly. Barcelona still has the advantage in the game. Being led by Real Madrid is just a matter of luck, especially the second goal conceding, which is simply a bit incredible. Higuain passed the ball on the wing and Lucas Moa made a pass in the middle, and the ball was actually in. This is really abnormal for Barcelona. Even if there is no Batista intercepting it in the middle, Rivero is enough to defend in the middle, not to mention Ben Parker, Raphael and others.

"In the second half, we will continue to strengthen our offense. Everyone should create opportunities with Shaq as the center. But if anyone has the opportunity to score, don't let it go. Don't forget that you are a team and a whole! Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Barcelona players of course understand that the team's boss "brutal Simon" now does not want them to help Shaq score goals, but to look for opportunities to score goals with Shaq as the center, that is to say... if the opportunity for others is better, Shaq will have to change from red flowers to green leaves.

After Simon Grayson nodded, the players let the players rest on their own. Shaq, Fabregas, Vasquis, Salave, and Ganso were also communicating with each other. Although there were still some language barriers, it would not affect their discussion on how to cooperate in the next game.

For Real Madrid, Plandelli had to make a substitution decision. In the second half of the first half, Coentran was a little worried by the opponent's attack. Now he can't keep up with Salave's pace. He has to be replaced.

This is how modern football matches are. No matter how rich the players have experience and excellent skills, they need abundant physical strength as the basis, otherwise they will not even have the chance to perform.

Coentrand's replacement is also a candidate who reassures Plandelli, because at least he knows Shaq very well. This person was dug from Manchester United with Papadopoulos during the summer transfer period... Jose Angel.

The Spanish left-back was the main left-back whom Simon Grayson was poaching from Roma when he coached Manchester United. During the four years at Manchester United, the number of assists in each season reached double digits. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a full-back with strong offense and weak defense. But in fact, Jose Angel's defensive ability is not weak at all, otherwise he would not be trusted by the "brutal Simon".

And most importantly, Jose Angel is not only familiar with Shaq, but also has a deep understanding of Simon Grayson's tactics. Before the game, Plandley once considered letting the Spanish left-back start, but in the end he chose Coentrane, who has more trust and experience.

When the two sides returned to the court, the commentator couldn't help but exclaim: "Real Madrid has substituted, Plander used Jose? Angel replaced Coentrand. Jose is Shaq's former teammate. They played for four years together at Manchester United. Think about Shaq, Papadopolos, Ganso, Jose? Angel, etc., who have played football together at Manchester United, it's not difficult to imagine what kind of strong Manchester United dynasty Simon created!"

Barcelona fans are not unfamiliar with Jose Angel. After all, they are a local player in Spain and an international player who has played 65 games for the Spanish national team. They can't do it even if they are not familiar with it. However, these fans immediately realized that their team might be facing difficulties again. One is familiar with Shaq and the other Jose Angel, who once played under Simon Grayson for two years, his appearance will inevitably further limit Barcelona's offense.

After the second half started, Real Madrid, who kicked off, controlled the ball slightly and passed the ball to Higuain in front. "Little Smoke Gun" is still Plandelli's most trusted center. C? Ronaldo is now 33 years old. His position in Real Madrid is getting lower and lower.

However, during the halftime break, Rivero and Batista also had a conversation. Batista was defending Higuain in the first half. The two thought that this would definitely involve the entire back line formation, so they simply decided to adopt regional defense in the second half to deal with Higuain.

Although Simon Grayson is nicknamed "Brutal Simon", it just means that he has a style in the transfer market and military governance. In fact, he still gives him a lot of freedom when setting tactics for his players. For example, Rivero and Batista privately decided to replace the man-to-man defense with regional defense, which is absolutely not allowed in other teams, but there is no problem with Simon Grayson.

"Bang!"

Rivero directly used his body to collided with Higuain, pushing the Argentine veteran away, and then stretched out his foot to block the ball. The 22-year-old Uruguayan talented central defender is now becoming more and more mature when defending. Moreover, because of Simon Grayson, he is still a person who is good at thinking and plays with his brain.

After the interception was successful, Rivero quickly passed the ball to the retreating Krissettigue. The Italian midfielder immediately passed the ball to the right back Raphael, and the Brazilian immediately passed the ball back to the German goalkeeper Mark. At this point... Barcelona snatched the ball.

After obtaining the ball, Barcelona became unhurried again. They tried to attack from the right through control of the ball. After seeing Shaq being followed by Papadopoulos and Jose Angel also faintly clamped the passing route, they passed the ball back to the back line, and then controlled it and started the offense from the left.

This time, Barcelona's offensive was launched. Vasquis and Shaq came to cooperate with each other. He easily turned away David Luis, and then Vasquis dribbled the ball to Real Madrid's left penalty area before he took off the ball horizontally. He really couldn't finish the shot by himself. Varane always ran from the side and blocked the shooting angle.

Fortunately, Vasquis' cross was still very exciting. The ball was not sent to Shak, who was in Papadopolos in the middle and Khedira had two defenders. Instead, he flew directly from their heads to the penalty area on the right.

"Bang!"

When the "Little Pharaoh" Salave appeared, he directly pushed the ball to the right goal of Real Madrid with his right foot bow. The Italian winger was not showing any signs of his appearance, and he directly threatened his opponent's goal as soon as he appeared on the camera.

"Bang!"

Standing in front of Real Madrid goal, Casillas was completely unaware that he was already thirty-seven years old. He was quick to save the fish sideways. He forced the ball out with his right fist in the air. Jose Angel, who was retreating, completed the understanding of the encirclement as soon as possible.

"Oh———It's a pity! Salavi's shot was only a little bit short of the goal! But we can still see that the team's offense is becoming sharp. I believe the goal should not be too far away from us!"

Simon Grayson did not ask how to play the team's offense during the half-time break, but Shaq, Fabregas, and Ganso are all veterans who have been through a long battle formation. Vasquis and Salavi are also very powerful. As soon as a few people discussed, they decided to make real and real plans in the attack. In other words, the offense that Barcelona can see for their opponents is basically not their real killer move. The fatal blow they want to use is hidden. The effect is really good after just trying it.

Three minutes later, Sharavi passed Shak in front of the penalty area on the right, like a stone pillar that never fell for a thousand years. Shak leaned against Papadopoulos and forced his turn, and then his right leg swung. The Real Madrid players immediately felt the hearts of the hearts.

Papadopoulos even pulled Shaq's clothes with his hands and fell to the ground to cut it off. Anyway, this position was outside the penalty area, so he was not afraid of sending a penalty kick. What's more, with his understanding of Shaq, in this case... Shaq is really unlikely to be dragged down!

Papadopoulos was very considerate, but the moment Shak touched the ball with his right foot, he pulled it into a bounce. The ball was bounced with his right foot and he bounced it toward Real Madrid's small penalty area on the right side.

The "Little Pharaoh" appeared again, swinging his right foot and pulled the ball out with a "bang"!

"Dong!"

Casillas was like a divine help. After quickly shifting, he knocked the ball upward with both fists. He only gave Barcelona a corner kick.

Although there were huge sighs from fans in the Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona fans are now becoming more and more confident. The team's offense is so sharp, and the goal is scored... isn't that a matter of time sooner or later!?

Barcelona fans didn't wait too long. When the game was 53 minutes, Barcelona launched an attack from the right. The ball was passed by Raphael to Salavei's feet. However, the "Little Pharaoh" did not break through this time. Instead, he drove the ball forward for more than ten meters and suddenly passed the ball straight towards Jose? Behind Angel... Shaq ran up from a diagonal line!

Even Papadopolos has to admit that when Shaq starts moving at high speed, he really can't defend Shaq anymore. If both of them are still or are not fast in the fight, Papadopolos still has a chance to defend Shaq. But now... Papadopolos can only watch Shaq run quickly to the passing route, and with his right foot, he breaks into the penalty area on the right side of Real Madrid.

Papadopoulos gave up chasing Shaq early in the morning, but went back to defend directly to his own small penalty area to block Shaq's shooting angle. Even Varane quickly blocked Gansuo from the middle.

"Bang!"

Just when everyone thought Shaq would shoot, Shaq kicked, but he didn't shoot, but kicked the ball into the small penalty area on the left side of Real Madrid!

"Bang!"

A flexible figure wearing a red and blue arrow shirt slid on the lawn outside the small penalty area on the left side of Real Madrid... Vasquis was in place!

When Shaq's pass arrived, Vasquis blocked the ball with his right foot, which he was not good at, and then the ball flew towards the right goal on the opposite direction of Casillas' movement...

"GOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Vasquis climbed up from the lawn and rushed towards the Barcelona fans in the stands with a loud shout...
Chapter completed!
