Chapter 58 Patience

To put it bluntly, the foreshadowing on the football field is a high-risk investment.*

Linson asked Suarez to observe the half-time game on the sidelines. The answer given by Suarez prevented him from doing nothing, but if he really put all his hopes on Suarez alone, it would obviously be unrealistic.

Most teams can be said to be too busy to take care of themselves when facing Barcelona, ​​let alone attacking. But this does not mean that Barcelona really only need to defend with a passing through. They also have a world-class defense line. If a team like Barcelona only allows people to observe the half-game and find their weaknesses, then he is not Barcelona.

However, since Lin Sen let Suarez do this, it is actually a gambling besides believing in Suarez's ability.

Manchester City is not worse than Barcelona, ​​at least Lin Sen knows this, and Manchester City cannot make up for the poor in a short period of time, and Lin Sen does not think he can make up for it. Even if his plug-in is against the will, he will not be able to change this fact. Then, if Manchester City still wants to defeat Barcelona, ​​they will have to be rich and dangerous.

In the past twenty minutes, in addition to paying attention to the situation on the court, Lin Sen's most frequent small move was the time of the game. Almost every few minutes, he would look at the time of the game from the corner of his eyes. Of course, this was not because he was looking forward to the end of the game early, but because he was calculating how much time his team had left to implement another small conspiracy.

He told Suarez to be patient because once Suarez "losed his patience", then Barcelona would not be able to give him a second chance, but he did not know whether there would be an opportunity to "losed his patience" in the game, so time is the key.

But since this, even if Lin Sen's actions are hidden, he will inevitably be seen by those who are interested.

This person with interest is Barcelona's assistant coach Biranova.

Lin Sen's actions were seen by Bilanova, who had originally seen it accidentally. At that time, he thought it was just an illusion, which was not surprising. Not long after the second half began, who would have started to pay attention to the time of the game at that time? However, the next thing he saw Lin Sen's same actions again, which made him feel curious. But curious, he didn't understand what Lin Sen's actions meant.

Pay attention to the game time, every coach will encounter more or less, and the meaning is different. Some are judging the situation, while others are simply waiting for the game to end...

Bilanova, who couldn't figure it out, told Guardiola this little detail, but Guardiola didn't figure it out, just considering that from the beginning of the second half, the situation in the game was controlled by Barcelona, ​​it seemed that it could be understood that Lin Sen was just "suffering".

The knockout round of two rounds. The score of 1-0 is Barcelona. This can indeed be considered a score equivalent to none, but it is better to go to Camp Nou with a leading advantage than to go to Camp Nou with a draw or a lagging score, because such a score can at least give Manchester City a choice. A choice that many teams often make at Camp Nou.

That is, hold on to the end.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xavi passed the ball to Pedro, but Pedro did not see the chance. He passed the ball back to Keita. Facing the opponent's press, Keita quickly over-the-balled the ball to Busquets, and then Busquets handed the ball to Xavi...

What time is this passing?

No one went to count, and the fans in the stands only knew that the ball had been under Barcelona for a long time. Although they did not make a shot during this "long time", the ball was still under their feet. If you press, he would pass the ball, and if you fail, he would pass it back... In short, the ball was theirs.

Suarez is not unactive. When the ball appears in his area, he will still press, but he will never run all over the field because he has his task. However, for a forward who is used to holding the ball under his feet, it is still a slightly embarrassing situation for more than 20 minutes of playing and the number of touches has not even reached double digits.

Suarez was helpless in this regard. He could not complain about his teammates because he knew very well that his teammates were not not working hard.

Stay patient.

At this moment, Suarez remembered what his head coach told him.

Yes, stay patient and opportunities will always arise, and all he needs to do is to seize that opportunity.

Thinking of this, Suarez raised his head and looked at his slanted front intentionally or unintentionally.

The tall one is Pique, who is the same age as him. His career is smooth, Spain's future defense line core. The taller one is not that tall, and there is no way to tell that Mascherano, who is just "guest-playing" central defender. At this time, because the ball is controlled by Barcelona, ​​the two are standing in front and back, almost over the center circle.

Suarez twitched the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, and muttered in his heart.

Wait.

----------------

No team can keep threatening the opponent's goal for ninety minutes, even Barcelona.

This is not that Barcelona does not have this ability, but because of objective conditions, just like Messi has enough ability to reproduce the "one-stop" just now, but he cannot play like this throughout the game. Moreover, as Guardiola was worried before, several attacks failed, the players' mentality will inevitably be restless. Once they are restless, the offense will no longer be as smooth as before.

At the same time, Manchester City cannot let Barcelona threaten their goal so unscrupulously. This can be seen from the sudden increase in the number of fouls by Manchester City.

So, the game was in a deadlock again.

Now, it's time for Guardiola to start watching games frequently.

The time of the game will make people feel "fast" in several situations. One is that when both sides are playing offensive football, both sides are back and forth, and everyone's attention is attracted, so they naturally ignore time. The other is when you are behind, such as Guardiola's feeling right now.

Before we knew it, eighty minutes had passed, which means that there were only ten minutes left for Barcelona to change the results.

At this time, Guardiola, who had never stopped moving, finally made a substitution.

Dutch winger Afelle replaced Pedro who was "locked" by Zabaleta in this game.

This substitution also made the commentator sigh at the Barcelona superstar Iniesta who missed this game. In his opinion, if Iniesta was not absent due to injury in this game, then Barcelona's midfield would definitely not let Manchester City "lock" to death so easily, and in that case, Barcelona would not fall into the current situation of lagging behind.

The commentator's feelings are not without reason, but they are of no help.

And just less than three minutes after this substitution, Lin Sen waited for the opportunity he had been waiting for in the second half, or in other words, Suarez waited for the opportunity he had been looking for.

The storm rises from the quiet waves.

In the 84th minute, Barcelona once again burned the offensive fire to Manchester City's right side through a dazzling pass, which was Afelle who had just played. Linson didn't know what Guardiola said to Afelle, but obviously, Afelle who had just played overestimated his ability.

Players who play at the last moment do not always become heroes, but may also become failures.

Afelle tried to use his skills to break through Sabaleta, but Sabaleta quickly told him that he was no less difficult than Pedro who had just ended up, and a clean tackle.

Afel fell to the ground in a mess, then opened his arms and complained to the referee about the other party's foul, but this tackle happened almost under his nose. The referee didn't want to pay attention to the other party's complaint at all. Sabaleta, who intercepted the ball, quickly transferred the ball to the retreating Yaya Toure, who was retreating.

Yaya Toure, who took the ball, originally planned to transfer the ball to two sides as he did before and then slowly organize the attack, but just as he turned his head, he found a dark blue figure standing at the farthest end.

The body is like a tense bow.

Not offside!

Yaya-Turai's eyes lit up.

Then, the ball flew through the half-court court like a guided missile and flew directly to the heart of Barcelona.

"Yaya Toure's long pass, Manchester City launched a counterattack... Oh oh oh... Where did he come out? Oh my god, was it offside? No! There was no offside! Suarez is chasing this ball, and now, he is the closest person! Barcelona is in danger!"

Biranova stood up from the coach's seat!

Guardiola, who always stood on the sidelines, felt a chill in his heart.

The entire Manchester City bench and coach stood up and looked at the side of the court with all eyes.

Hell!!!

Valdes cursed in his heart because he found that Mascherano, who was dragging in the end, could not keep up with Suarez's pace. In other words, if Suarez receives this ball, then this is an absolute single shot!

After hesitating for a moment, Valdes abandoned the door and left!

He hoped that he could reach the ball's landing point earlier than Suarez, but he underestimated Suarez's speed.

Just when he could almost see the stripes on the ball flying in the air, Suarez had already arrived at the landing point.

This situation made him feel cold.

The final landing point of the ball was not in the penalty area, but was less than two meters in front of the penalty area.

If Valdes rushed out of the penalty area, then his hand would be sealed. If he did not break out of the penalty area, he would not be able to block the opponent's shooting angle.

This is a dilemma, but Valdes must make a choice, immediately, immediately!

Valdes chose to keep moving forward.

Trying to destroy the football when the opponent is not firmly established. However, Suarez did not give him such a chance, because Suarez did not even stop the ball. He just puts force on his waist on the spot, then shook his head and pushed it lightly.
