Chapter 77 Phenomenal Level [First Update, Kneeling for Monthly Tickets]

  First update, kneeling for monthly tickets!

  Lao Chen should go to work now, will update again at 12pm sharp, additional updates will be left till the end, please forgive me!

  Kneeling down and begging for monthly tickets!!

  After half-time break, both teams returned to the field again.

  The two teams returned to the field again.

  Bobby Robson obviously realized the tactical deficiencies of the team in the first half, especially the loss of midfield control. So in the second half, he adjusted the team's tactics, actively playing two wings, fully utilizing Figo and Giovanni's abilities, creating threats on both sides, but more attacks were still centered around Ronaldo, clearly trusting the Brazilian's super personal ability.

  Others may not be clear, but Yang Cheng knows that Ronaldo is now all-powerful!

  "The trap in the upper half of the creation must be adjusted!" Yang Cheng muttered with a headache.

  Kaiserslautern's 4-3-3 tactic is at a disadvantage on the defensive flank, although they have midfield strongmen like Nedved andGattuso, but when defending, they are still very passive, especially against players with super individual abilities like Ronaldo and Figo.

  The benefits of the offside trap are obvious, but the risks are also great, because as long as Barca is allowed to succeed once, Ronaldo will be directly facing the goal, and a team like him is unlikely to miss a single knife ball.

  "The physical condition of the three defenders has also declined greatly, after all, they are old!" Tim Hank sighed.

  Although Yang Cheng inquired about their situation during the halftime break, Bremer and others said there was no problem. In fact, this 36-year-old veteran looked a bit out of breath from the start of the second half, and Lutz had a tired expression, but both of them persisted.

  Yang Chen had already prepared a counter-strategy, so although the players on the field felt the change in Barca's tactics, they were still able to cope with it in an orderly manner, especially in midfield. No matter how Barca changed, the midfield was firmly controlled by Kaiserslautern.

  Time is ticking away second by second, and the Barcelona players seem to feel the loss of game time too, starting to get a bit anxious, especially attacking players like Ronaldo and Figo who have started to fall back, with Figo receiving a yellow card for a late tackle in one defensive play.

  "They're all done for, just one more breath!" Paul Baier laughed on the sidelines.

  Bar?a is getting more and more anxious, while Kaiserslautern's counterattack defense is becoming more and more patient. As long as the current situation continues to develop, victory will eventually belong to Kaiserslautern.

  "Time to switch?" Tim Hanks asked as he came out.

  Yang Cheng shook his head, "Wait a little longer!"

  In the Super Coach system's physical fitness score, Lutz's physical fitness is only 53 left, which has already reached the bottom limit close to collapse. Bremer is slightly better, with a score of 65. The substitution of these two old generals is a matter of time.

  However, the team is now turning in a favorable direction, and it's only 54 minutes into the second half. Yang Cheng wants to wait a bit longer, preferably until the situation stabilizes before making substitutions.

  Just then, the scene suddenly changed.

  Kaiserslautern's attack reached Bar?a's hinterland and was suddenly intercepted by Bar?a's central defender Nadal.

  Nadal passed the ball directly to Guardiola, who immediately distributed it to the right road for Figo.

  In Bar?a's tactical system, Guardiola's importance lies in his ability to distribute the ball to the left, middle and right directions at any time. He has a wealth of passing options, plus his own strength, so countless people later held that Guardiola is the soul core of this team.

  Guardiola's pass was exquisite, perfectly directing Nedved behind him, and Figo used his speed to make a direct pass along the sideline.

  Bar?a's counterattack was extremely fast, especially Figo and Ronaldo, these two players were like two sharp arrows, one on the left and one on the right, in the blink of an eye they had already arrived at Kaiserslautern's hinterland.

  Yang Cheng looked a bit worried on the sidelines, but when he saw Bremer, Koscielny and Rudiger all returned to their positions, Gatusso, Bellon and Nedved were all actively defending.

  Calm down a bit.

  But Ronaldo suddenly pointed to his front with his hand, Figo faced Bremer from the right route, directly a low pass, passed behind Lutz and Klose, and then saw the original two-person lag at least two minutes, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated.

  At this moment, Yang Cheng really felt a kind of powerlessness and despair, because if it were someone else, it's estimated that no one could have done what Ronaldo did, even Henry, who was invincible in the Premier League later on, would have found it difficult to create a bloody path from between two defenders when trailing by two goals.

  Because on the football field, half a second faster or slower doesn't make much of a difference, players like Ronaldo who can create an opportunity out of nowhere, are they really human?

  Ronaldo broke through between Lutz and Kosch, shaking off Reinke after receiving a pass.

  Then strolled leisurely in front of Kaiserslautern's goal, easily pushing the ball into the net, 1:1!

  Robson, with his white hair, jumped up from the bench excitedly and hugged Mourinho and other assistants to celebrate. They had been waiting for this goal for too long and were getting impatient.

  "This guy is an alien!" Paul Bier sighed.

  The whole world is studying how to contain Ronaldo, but almost no one can do it. Even Capello can only limit the passes that Barca gives to Ronaldo, and cannot restrict a high-speed dribbling Ronaldo at all.

  Yang Cheng also felt a sense of despair, especially when he saw Ronaldo strolling in front of his goal, he really had a feeling of helplessness, but as soon as he saw the Barcelona players excitedly celebrating, he immediately realized the danger.

  "Sebastian!" Yang Cheng turned his head towards the big man.

  Sabastian Kell immediately stood up from the substitute seat and came to Yang Cheng's side, "Head!"

  "You replace Lutz, form a central defender with Kosch, Barca is going to counterattack, you must hold on for me!" Yang Cheng said seriously.

  "Got it, sir!" Kyle replied solemnly.

  While Bar?a were celebrating the goal, Kaiserslautern made a substitution, replacing the exhausted Rutz with Sebastian Kehl, and the team's tactics immediately changed to 4-4-2.

  Fritz returned to the right-back position, Bremer played left-back, Kehl and Kosch formed a double centre-half, the left wing-forward was Niedzwiecki, the midfielders were Ballack and Beierlorzer, the right wing-forward was Gattusso, and the two forwards were Dern and Marshal.

  The reason for the change is because Yang Chen realized the effect of Ronaldo's goal!

  At that moment, if there was no Ronaldo's goal, Barca might have collapsed. But Ronaldo's goal saved Barca, his crucial goal at the critical moment completely boosted Barca's morale and fighting spirit, making them see the dawn of victory again, and both teams returned to the starting line.

  Although the formation changed, Yang Cheng's restriction on Barca in midfield did not weaken. The responsibilities of Nedved, Clarke, Bellon and Gatusso remained largely unchanged. Gatusso was still flying around the field to disrupt and harass, while the right flank's offense and defense relied more on Marshall on the right and Fritz who inserted from behind.

  In central defense, Kyle's speed and turning are obviously faster than Kosch, and his position is also more forward than Kosch. Kosch has rich experience, better coordination and positioning sense, he can fill the gap left by Kyle after the first round of grabbing, while Kyle's appearance can make up for Kosch's deficiency in turning and speed.

  But just defending is far from enough!

  ………………………………………………

  Taking advantage of an opportunity, Deneriazon ran to the side of the field to drink water, his position was right in front of Yang Cheng.

  This kid performed very well in this game and worked hard, his sweat and mud on his face and body are the best evidence, because he even used multiple dives to stop the opponent, it can be imagined that he really went all out.

  "Wait a minute, you should try your best to find opportunities on the left road!" Yang Cheng leaned over and said with a smile.

  Denilson's left route was just opposite Barca's right route, Figo performed actively, and Ferre also followed suit, but the more this happened, the more opportunities Kaiserslautern had.

  Isn't there a saying that goes like this? The more dangerous a place is, the safer it tends to be. The core of a storm is often calm!

  "I'll get them to pass you the ball more, use your skills to beat them, but don't fall behind, try to make diagonal cuts into Bar?a's flank, just like I told you during training, remember?"

  Dennilson nodded while drinking water.

  He is a player who is good with both feet, which is why he can make the flashy move of riding a bicycle look effortless, so even if he is on the left wing, he can still cut inside and use his right foot to shoot or pass.

  "Ronaldo is the most outstanding forward in today's football, he is an unquestionable genius, and so are you!" Yang Cheng patted Danielson's shoulder heavily before turning back to his own area.

  Denilson was stunned, since he had just witnessed Ronaldo's incredible football skills again, and he was thoroughly intimidated. He felt that his original belief that he could surpass Ronaldo now seemed laughable.

  But at this moment, Yang Cheng said it to him again, and from his eyes, he saw a sincere expectation, rather than bluffing, which reignited a motivation in his heart.

  Then he recalled a conversation Yang Cheng had with him before, and after that, he began to follow Moniz for special training.

  "Your speed and explosiveness are just above average, for a winger, you don't have too many outstanding performances in this aspect, but you have what others don't, that is your ball sense, as well as the composure you show when dribbling under pressure, and the delicate small techniques, these are all your strengths!"

  "Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, there is no perfect player in this world. The key is to know how to play your strengths and cover up your weaknesses, so you need to use different ways to make up for the lack of speed, such as changing gears and direction!"

  After following Moniz and drinking Mullenstein for a while, Denilson's national team is no longer relying solely on his original technical movements, but has become more concise, which has increased his movement speed. In addition to his ball sense, he can make unexpected moves and elusive fake moves, combined with agile and clever changes in speed and direction, making Denilson's performance on the wing exceptionally outstanding.

  In terms of pure sprinting speed, he's not fast enough, but if you add the ball and a series of moves like step-overs, his speed is on par with others. Moreover, in one-on-one situations, he almost never loses.

  Having thought of this, Dennyson suddenly felt a surge of motivation. He thought of Treysantana, Yang Cheng, Moniz and Mulensitin, and many, many others who had placed high hopes in him. He told himself that he absolutely could not let them down!

  Back on the pitch, Denilson started to harass in the middle and left roads, waiting for a counterattack, and from time to time also withdrew to respond to Nedved, after all, Barca's offense was a bit too fierce.

  As time went on, both sides of the game started making substitutions.

  Barcelona made the first substitution, with Robson replacing Stoichkov in midfield. The 31-year-old veteran was once European Footballer of the Year, but now he is no longer a key player for Barcelona due to his temper and off-field news. Despite this, he has still played 30 times this season, scoring 14 goals, mostly as a substitute, showcasing his incredible ability.

  Kaiserslautern's strength is definitely not comparable to Barca's, so Yang Chen chose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, retreat three lines, and focus on defense and counterattack. In addition, freezing Bar?a's midfield, forwards like Ronaldo are not good at attacking fortresses, so Bar?a's offense was ineffective for a while.

  But Yang Cheng also counterattacked, and Kaiserslautern's several counterattacks were very threatening. Especially Bellon's precise long pass in the midfield found his teammates accurately several times, including one that allowed Clemens Fritz to sprint 40 meters down the right flank and deliver a cross into the box, although it didn't result in a goal, but still won Kaiserslautern a corner kick.

  "Although I've been saying that we can't underestimate the young head coach, and we can't underestimate this young Kaiserslautern team, in reality, we still underestimated him and his team!" Bobbi Brosen said with a wry smile.

  Murini was also amazed and admired on one side.

  Since Ronaldo scored, Barca found the initiative of the game, but due to being suppressed in midfield, Barca's offense often opened from the side, but Kaiserslautern's defense was exceptionally strong and tenacious.

  It can be said that the more fiercely Barca attacks, the greater the counterattack from Kaiserslautern will be. This tenacious fighting spirit and resolute counterattack make it difficult for Barca to fully exert themselves in attack.

  Everyone knows that Barca's offense is invincible this season, but their defense is a mess!

  "He's indeed a very interesting guy!" Muriniu said with a wry smile.

  Robinson glanced sideways at his assistant, "You rarely admit someone like that, especially since he's the opponent in this match!"

  Mourinho shook his head, neither confirming nor denying, "Bobby, be careful, teams with this kind of head coach are often more dangerous towards the end!"

  Robinson smiled confidently, he really didn't think Kaiser Slautern had a chance to turn the tables, he was just thinking about how to break through Kaiser Slautern's copper wall and iron wall, he had no interest in dragging the game into overtime.

  Just as he let last season's La Liga top scorer Pizzi go warm up, preparing to use him again on the field to strengthen the offense, he suddenly heard a shout.

  As Robson turned around, he saw Bellon's precise mid-to-long pass, the ball moved to the left, and Denilson had just moved into the empty space, where he calmly stopped the ball without being disturbed.

  Turn around, move forward, accelerate!

  Denilson's explosive power is far inferior to Ronaldo's almost abnormal speed, especially when he brings the ball into the opponent's half of the field, Barcelona's Abidal and other defenders have already returned to their positions.

  But if you just look at it with the naked eye, Denilson's speed is still quite fast, directly approaching Abidal and then making a gesture to continue dribbling to the left, Abidal was immediately deceived by his realistic fake move and fell to the ground. Who knew that Denilson suddenly stopped abruptly, using the outside of his right foot to cut the ball towards the ribs, leaving Abidal, who had been performing steadily throughout the game, extremely embarrassed on the ground, unable to do anything but watch as he made a run into the penalty area.

  Seeing his partner being humiliated like that, Nadal was forced to come up, but Djokovic's ball speed didn't slow down at all. Then he saw him make a dizzying bicycle kick move, looking as if he was going into the offside area, but after deceiving Nadal, he suddenly stopped and sent the ball to the right post.

  The force of this pass was very light, but the angle was just right, leaving Bajia in an awkward position where he wanted to attack but didn't dare, and wanted to defend the goal but was worried.

  Nowadays, Baia is no longer the world-class goalkeeper he used to be. His hesitation caused him to miss the best opportunity to block Barak's shot from behind, and in the end, he could only watch as Barak stormed into the penalty area, stopped the ball, and scored with a direct kick.

  It was a low and flat shot, very fast, Baia reacted but still couldn't stop the ball.

  “llllllllll!”

  "It's unbelievable! Kaiserslautern takes the lead again!"

  "In the 81st minute, Gatusso intercepted a pass and gave it to Bellon, who made an accurate long pass to Denilson. The Brazilian midfielder, on the left flank, dribbled past two Barcelona defenders, Abelda and Nadal, completely humiliating them!"

  "But in the end, when Drenthe had the chance to shoot himself, he selflessly chose to pass the ball, and Barak, who had made a run from deep, didn't waste his teammate's generosity, calmly slotting home with a low shot to once again extend the lead!"

  "This is a very beautiful team cooperation goal, especially Denilson, his speed change direction fake action continuous breakthrough is simply breathtaking!"

  As the live commentator let out a shout of surprise, Yang Cheng also reacted in the first instance, bursting into loud laughter and rushing to hug everyone around him, celebrating with abandon.

  "I knew it, this kid is definitely going to make it!" Yang Cheng exclaimed with a relieved laugh.

  Moniz was also just holding onto Yang Cheng's shoulder, shaking with excitement and shouting: "It's all thanks to you, it was your suggestion that led us to find the special training method for him, he will definitely become a phenomenal player!"

  Everyone thinks so!
