Chapter 427
Barcelona, which has not changed much, continued the decline in the first half. No matter how loud the Barcelona fans roared, it seemed that they could not save the team's fate of defeat.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Villa received a through pass from Sneijder, and like a loach, he threw off the defense and shot successfully in the penalty area, rewriting the score to 2:0.
Although a two-goal lead on the football field does not guarantee victory, considering the strength comparison of the two sides and the situation on the field, Notts County feels that they can withdraw their troops with gold, and a two-goal victory with the ball from the away game can even be said to have been won. Killed the suspense in this first round.
As long as a super god-level player like Ronaldinho is on the field, no one knows if he will explode at a certain moment, and even pick the entire defense line of Notts County by himself. This is the possibility of a superstar, anyway. The victory is basically guaranteed, why not completely prevent the opponent from death!
So Notts County gradually changed from an offensive posture to a high-position press to catch Barcelona. Anyway, if Barcelona wants to equalize or even win at home, they must strengthen their offense, which is more beneficial to Notts County.
And Mascherano can also concentrate on marking Ronaldinho at this time. Even with his own strength, he can't limit the Brazilian superstar, but he can minimize Ronaldinho's threat.
Seeing the change in Notts County's style, Rijkaard knew that Notts County was sitting on the sidelines, but he had to order the team to hit the tree stump. Dare to rush is one thing, whether they can win is another It's the same thing.
Of course, Barcelona's offensive ability still has a foundation. Even if Notts County does well, it is impossible not to leave no chance for Barcelona, but the key is that Barcelona created a chance. In the same period of time, Notts County Ci County was able to get two or more opportunities through fast breaks, which made Barcelona helpless.
In the end, Barcelona failed to break Notts County's goal at home in this game. The complete defeat at home cast a shadow over their UEFA Cup trip, and even referred to the situation of the game, even Catalonia. The media are no longer optimistic about Barcelona's ability to make a difference in the UEFA Cup this season.
Notts County did not score in the later period. On the one hand, Loew deliberately slowed down the pace to control the game. On the other hand, it was also because of the physical problems of the players. Coupled with the relaxation from top to bottom after winning the championship, the players' condition is not ideal, and everyone thinks this score is enough, this is the key.
At the end of the game, the Barcelona players couldn't hide the lonely expressions on their faces. Even Ronaldinho, when he had not yet reached the peak of his career, was not as cynical as he was later. Having ideals and ambitions would let him know what shame is.
Iniesta walked over and hugged his good friend Harvey. Although the two are now their own masters, the deep friendship established in La Masia still makes them have a good understanding.
"Congratulations, Notts County played better in this game, and your performance is also very good. I almost can't recognize you on the court!" Harvey looked at Iniesta with a wry smile, feeling a little emotional road.
"Maybe when I joined Notts County, I didn't expect that we would achieve what we are today, but now it seems that all this seems like a dream. I never thought that there would be a day when I would meet Barcelona, but now we are. Really beating Barcelona at the Nou Camp, it seems that the faith in my childhood collapsed!" Iniesta also said with emotion.
Harvey looked at his friend, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, his expression was full of envy.
In the youth training camp, I had to enter the sight of the first team one step earlier than Iniesta, and Xiaobai chose another path because he was not recruited by the first team. In Harvey's view, his own My friend, this is blocking my room for improvement.
But today, three years later, my friends and teammates defeated Barcelona, who was on the road to recovery, at Camp Nou. This feeling is really indescribable.
"Have you ever thought about coming back? You know, the club has been very concerned about you before. After seeing your performance in this game, it is even more impossible to ignore it. Come back, let's fight side by side and bring Barcelona to the world football together." The pinnacle of the world is like the wish we made together when we were young!" Harvey invited Iniesta a little emotionally. Even if Harvey is not disappointed with the current Barcelona lineup, he will not be too disappointed. Expect a lot, without a big change, don't mention any revival, even with Ronaldinho, a world superstar, it's useless.
He stared at Xiao Bai with hopeful eyes, hoping to get the answer he wanted from his good friend, but unfortunately, he hoped.
Xiaobai fell into silence, maybe he didn't know his state of mind, anyway, he had no way to answer Harvey.
At this time, the Notts County players ran over to celebrate the victory together. Xiaobai glanced at Harvey apologetically, and then joined the celebration with his teammates.
Harvey sighed, and walked towards the locker room step by step, his lonely back was infinitely elongated under the spotlight
At the press conference after the game, Rijkaard faced the reporters in the audience with a dark face, as if everyone owed him money.
"I am very sorry for the result of the game. In fact, Barcelona had a lot of opportunities today, but we were unlucky. Since we did not win this game, we need to win Notts County away. I believe we can do it." This point, you must know that in the history of the UEFA Cup, there are not uncommon examples of losing in the first round and coming back in the second round!"
As the head coach of the home team, Black Swan was the first to speak. With his bold words before the start of the game, no matter what he said, he was destined to be slapped in the face at this time.
But no one thought that Rijkaard was talking nonsense with his eyes open, picking up some nice words, as if he was putting money on himself and Barcelona, but anyone who watched this game knew that he Pure nonsense.
Yes, Barcelona created some opportunities, but Notts County created more opportunities than them. It is really luck to lose only two goals, otherwise Barcelona will lose more.
And at this time, it is really meaningless to use history as an example. History is the most deceptive. What someone can accomplish in history does not mean that you Barcelona will definitely be able to complete it. The strength gap between the two teams exists objectively. It is not something that Rijkaard can erase with a few understatements.
