Chapter 264 La Liga Final (Part 4)
No matter how much Iniesta thought, it was useless. He could only watch Eggsy's back and chase him desperately, even though he knew that there was a high possibility that he would not be able to catch up.
But you have to catch up even if you can’t!
No one in Barcelona has given up yet, and everyone is trying hard to catch up with Real Madrid, but they can only barely catch up. Real Madrid really pressed forward, and the defenders also pressed forward. They quickly intercepted some of the people that Barcelona wanted to catch, buying time for the midfielders and forwards in front.
Modric ran with the ball all the way, and behind him Kroos led the defenders to intercept the Barcelona players who wanted to catch up. Eggsy and the forwards in front had already rushed forward, Bale and Benzema followed behind, and Ronaldo was on the left side of the center. These three people kept looking back at Eggsy, and they almost shouted out loud.
"Bao! Give me the ball~~~"
But now the ball is in Modric's hands. He and Eggsy have just passed Barcelona's midfield line. Although there are only two people here, Eggsy and Modric, but at present the 1+1 of these two people is not just the combat effectiveness of 2. For now, whether it is Iniesta or Rakitic, they really feel difficult when they stop Eggsy and Modric who have a very high degree of tacit understanding.
In any case, Modric and Eggsy have a better understanding than Iniesta and Rakitic. Even without eye contact, Eggsy and Modric can already guess what the other is going to do by looking at the other's movements, habits and familiarity.
Modric is good at dribbling, and although Eggesi is different in size from him, he has his own strengths in dribbling speed and technique, so it is very difficult for Iniesta or Rakitic to intercept them.
Interception is not possible, and interference has become the main idea of Iniesta and Rakitic. At this time, if Barcelona can have one more person to form a triangular ball possession area, their interception possibility will increase. But now everyone is in their own position, and if they are capable enough, they will certainly come back to help.
The fact that they haven't come yet means that they are not capable enough, and Barcelona can be said to be in a state of emergency with all its players.
Modric and Eggesi were disturbed by Iniesta and Rakitic in the midfield, but they were not stupid, so they started a quick attack with Eggesi and added quick cross passes.
In this kind of attack, Eggsy and Modric were already sneaking past their opponents to attack, and Modric quickly found the opportunity and passed the ball to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, who was on the left side of the center, immediately started the attack with the dribble. It seemed that Ronaldo was passing the last three defenders and was about to break into the penalty area.
At this moment Pique suddenly rushed out and knocked Ronaldo and the ball almost flying out!
The whistle sounded immediately, and Pique raised his hand to receive the yellow card without any explanation. But after the collision, he still pulled Ronaldo up. Although Ronaldo was very angry, he didn't say much.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see why Ronaldo was knocked down outside the penalty area. Of course, if Ronaldo were to protect his club, he would probably do the same. So everyone is a player of the club, and Barcelona is still Pique's to some extent, not to mention that Pique is a defender.
So although they were unhappy, they didn't say anything. Of course, there was really no penalty for this goal outside the penalty area, so they could only kick off again, but this time Barcelona had already prepared for the back line, so of course it wouldn't be so easy to score.
Zidane watched the development on the court and smiled. Raul looked at him in surprise and asked, "How can you still laugh?"
"Hey, why can't I laugh when you say that?"
Raul looked at the field and then at Zidane, and then said: "Now our offensive momentum is gone, and you can still laugh?"
After saying this, Zidane laughed even more happily.
"Why is there no offensive momentum?"
Raul was stunned by Zidane's question, and then asked: "Do you think Barcelona's interference strategy is not scary?"
"Of course," Zidane said, looking at Raul with a smile, "Next time we will attack like this, do they have another Pique who can come out and get a yellow card?"
Yes, Real Madrid's attack is uninterrupted. As long as Barcelona is still attacking, Real Madrid will defend and counterattack. Can Barcelona block such a counterattack once, and can they block it the second time? Obviously not. So Zidane is not worried about this, but he is worried about other things.
For example, if Zidane could consume Barcelona's physical strength in the first half, he would definitely give Barcelona a final blow in the second half given his character.
The first half ended quickly. So far, only Bale scored 1 point with the assist of Eggsy, but this 1 point really forced Barcelona to fight hard with Real Madrid and had to follow Real Madrid in a tug-of-war in the first half.
Of course, Barcelona is also constantly looking for Real Madrid's weaknesses. They have used many tricks, but few of them are effective. Barcelona is not a soft persimmon, but facing Real Madrid, which is now more powerful with Eggsy, they really feel that they have more than enough.
Now that the first half has passed, many Barcelona fans at home have gone from crazy to calm, and now from calm to dead silence. Although Real Madrid did not overpower Barcelona in the first half, everyone can see that Barcelona is struggling to cope.
Real Madrid's core player Eggsy can find tactical loopholes in every move he makes, and can even create loopholes for you if there are no loopholes. Such a midfielder is really terrifying.
Little did people know that since the emergence of tactical midfielder like Eggsy, his existence has found a new midfield direction for major clubs, and they have also begun to cultivate the so-called tactical midfielder.
However, you don't know until you train them. Once you train them, you will know that this kind of midfielder is not as simple as it seems on the surface. First of all, the midfielder must have a very broad awareness of the whole field and good physical ability. For example, Eggsy's height really helps him a lot.
192 is the peak on the court. Wherever Eggsy goes, of course he has a wide field of vision. He can instantly see the situation on the court and predict the movement in his mind. This alone is very difficult, and coupled with Eggsy's physical condition, explosive power, and movement agility, it is really rare.
The most fatal thing is his excellent mind, which enabled him to have an extraordinary understanding of tactics when he started his professional career. Coupled with Ranieri's tutoring and Zidane's tactical teaching, his understanding of other teams' tactics and flaws was on a completely different level.
So many clubs saw Eggsy but didn't care at the time. They thought Real Madrid bought him back just to train him and then rent him out, after all, Real Madrid has done this many times. As a result, not only are they out of their reach now, but even if they want to copy him, they can't do it even if they are half as good as him.
Seeing that Eggsy is about to become the core of Real Madrid and the top midfielder of Real Madrid in the next 20 years, don't they regret it? It's not that they regret it, but they just want to hang up the senior management who gave up Eggsy and beat him up.
During the halftime break, Zidane did not even take the players back to the lounge, but rested in the rest area on the sidelines. Of course, he would definitely change the tactics in the second half, but this time he did not tell the captain Ramos, but went directly to Eggsy.
At that time, Eggsy was gargling his mouth with water. Because the players still had to run in the second half, drinking too much water would easily cause bloating, but if they didn't drink, they would feel very thirsty, so most of the players would gargle with water to deceive their brains into thinking they had drunk.
Zidane ignored the water bottle in Eggsy's hand at this time, and directly hugged Eggsy around the waist and pulled him over, whispering in Eggsy's ear.
Many people on the sidelines looked over here, and everyone knew without guessing that Zidane must be telling Eggsy about some tactical arrangements. But in fact, Zidane just told Eggsy that his and Modric's assist bonuses would also be doubled.
Although Eggsy was happy, he wondered why Zidane said this at this time. However, when he looked back, he immediately knew Zidane's conspiracy, which was to make everyone think that he was still the tactical center of the second half.
Huo, you are really cunning.
At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona put all their efforts into the fight against Eggsy, but Eggsy in the second half was like a different person from the first half. This time, not only did he not organize the attack again, but he took advantage of the fact that he attracted the attention of most Barcelona players, and when he was not holding the ball to assist, he also helped Modric attract a large amount of firepower.
The greater the threat Eggsy posed in the first half, the greater his ability to attract firepower in the second half!
It was true and false, false and true. Several times Modric pretended to pass the ball to Eggsy, but the next second Eggsy passed the ball to Modric.
However, more often than not, Modric pretended to pass the ball to Eggsy, but it turned out to be a fake move that fooled the Barcelona defenders and was not real at all.
This back and forth was really hard to defend against, until the last 5 minutes, when both Barcelona and Real Madrid started to fight hard.
They knew this was their last chance, either Barcelona would fight to the death to tie the game and drag the game to a penalty shootout, or Real Madrid would win the game and even score another goal to win the game.
Modric was holding the ball and had just come to the midfield. He and Eggsy on the other side of the midfield were already sweating and panting. But Modric did not attack immediately, but trotted with the ball, seeming to look at Barcelona's lineup.
Iniesta was the first to attack and intercept. As he ran, he was still thinking whether Modric would pass the ball to Eggsy. However, when he found that Eggsy didn't seem to be moving towards him, he really thought that Modric would not pass the ball to Eggsy.
But when he thought Modric would not pass the ball, he actually passed it to Eggsy, shocking the Barcelona players to rush to defend. As a result, when the players were about to arrive, Eggsy passed the ball directly to the forward, making the Barcelona players run in vain.
After going back and forth like this, the Barcelona players' physical strength could no longer sustain, while Real Madrid was getting more and more excited. From this point on, many old fans and professional players saw that Barcelona was losing, and they were still cheering.
Barcelona's defense had collapsed to its limit. When Real Madrid's Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale were unable to break through, the ball was suddenly passed to Eggsy, and Eggsy suddenly passed the ball back.
Pass back? ? Pass to whom?
At this time, everyone was horrified to see Real Madrid's specialty, the No. 4 defender rushed forward on the left to receive the ball. Then, when no one reacted or defended in time, he ran over and shot directly into the penalty area!
“The ball—goes in!!!”
