Chapter 255 Puyol

"The referee Horstel from Switzerland blew the whistle to start the game. Barcelona player Kluivert took the ball and the game officially started!"

"Audience friends, you are watching the second round of the UEFA Champions League in the 2001-2002 season. The match between Barcelona and Leeds United at home. This game was enforced by Swiss referee Horstel. In this game, Barcelona coach Lake Saatchi still followed the team's usual 4-3-3 formation. From the front to the back, the center Kluivert, the right winger Javier Saviola, the left winger Peter Pan Overmars, From this striker combination, we can see that including Kluivert, who has strong physical confrontation and ability to hold the ball, their common characteristics are speed and agility. This characteristic has a clear advantage against the tall and typical British central defenders. .”

"The strong explosion effect of the two sides will bring great pressure to Leeds United. Whether Overmars and Saviola can be successfully restricted is extremely critical for Leeds United in this game!"

"Of course, although such a striker combination is very powerful, it has very high requirements for the midfielder. Not only must it be able to send the ball in time, but it also needs strong control. This is the most important thing for Barcelona today. Scarce."

"The midfield composed of Enrique, Cocu and Rivaldo can be described as a typical attack and defense with insufficient control. Cocu and Enrique, the first and second captains of Barcelona's current team, are both midfielders. However, Cocu is better at the position of the defensive midfielder. An amazing long shot is his unique skill. Naturally, Cocu's defensive ability as a midfielder iron gate need not be repeated, but his ball control And the dribbling ability is a bit worse. And Mr. Golden Globe Brazilian Rivaldo is not a master who is good at passing and controlling. It's something Barca coach Rexach needs to address urgently in this game."

Unlike TV commentators who talked about Barcelona's frontcourt, Leeds United coach O'Reilly felt a little worried about Barcelona's defense.

The right back Frank De Boer is a well-known Dutch player. Although he is now playing the right back in the Barcelona team as the main defender, Frank De Boer is stronger than his contemporaries in terms of defensive strength. The distasteful top players are worse, and not really much worse.De Boer is more like a modern full-back. His powerful ability to play the ball, pass and free kick allows him to attack, retreat and defend, and he is very good at dribbling and protecting the ball.If Kenny and Kewell can't stop him immediately, then Hart may not be able to protect the outside security facing De Boer.

At the same time, the position of the left back is guarding the Italian international on loan from Barcelona, ​​who used to be Kenny's double teammate, AC Milan player Francisco Coco.In the same situation as Kenny, although Koko represented AC Milan in Serie A for the first time on August 1995, 8, he won the 27 and 1996 league titles as a member of AC Milan.However, due to the fierce competition for the left-back position of the AC Milan team, Koko rarely got a chance to play, so he was loaned to Vicenza, Turin and now the Spanish giants Barcelona.

Right now, with his excellent performance, Keke has not only become the main force on Barcelona's left back, but has also been selected for the new national team.

The combination of one old and one young central defender is also a headache. The veteran Abelardo, who has worked hard in La Liga for 11 years, not only has seasoned experience, but his stable appearance rate is a direct manifestation of his strength.At the same time, Puyol, who was born in the youth training of La Masia, can gain a firm foothold in the first team at this age, and it is naturally not an ordinary person.According to the information collected by O'Reilly at this age when the ball is rising, the teenager Puyol has excellent physical condition and discipline, and his defensive ability is also very good.

"Loris Kenny received Bowyer's pass and faced the Barcelona defender Puyol, oh? A fierce tackle destroyed the ball, and Kenny fell to the ground at the same time. The referee Hoss Kenny was very dissatisfied that Terl didn't make a penalty! But it didn't help, and the game continued!"

"Damn!" Seeing Hostel shaking his head, Kenny beat the turf hard. In his opinion, this was a foul!

"Get up, Italians! Are you all softies?" Just as Kenny stood up and was about to rejoin the game, the curly-haired Puyol said disdainfully as he passed by him. .

At this time, it was already the No. 207th minute of the start of the game. After the opening, Leeds United launched a fierce attack on the Barcelona side.As O'Reilly expected, Barcelona's defense line has become completely impenetrable. They can not only complete the restrictions on Leeds United's offensive players, but also catch them like Puyol did. Opportunity to steal the ball and become an important initiator of the transition from defense to offense.

But such a situation was not expected by the Leeds United players. Although coach O'Reilly emphasized the strength of the Barcelona team's defense many times before the game and should not be underestimated, to be honest, these Leeds United players really did not understand this sentence. Keep your words in mind.After all, in their opinion, compared to the star-studded midfield, Barcelona's defense is mediocre, and it can even be called full of loopholes. Even a boy like Puyol can stand firm in the starting lineup. Barcelona is really down!

But they never expected that Puyol slapped them hard with his actions, making them feel ashamed, and even Kenny failed in front of Puyol.

But hearing Puyol's disdainful tone at this time, Kenny was not angry at all, but extremely excited.Because although Puyol had just become the captain of Barcelona, ​​a giant club, when he crossed, it can be said that Puyol had to be mentioned when talking about the top defenders of that year.Not only was he selected into the UEFA Team of the Year for the second time, but he also helped Barcelona regain the La Liga and Super Cup championships. At the same time, he was extremely tenacious and aggressive on the field and was praised by people.

Therefore, Kenny is not annoyed at the moment, but excited, very excited.

"Slut? No. I'll let you see the real technology!"

"Wouldn't it be exciting to capture the Camp Nou?"
