Chapter 962: Ace vs. Ace


Barcelona took the lead in breaking the deadlock at the Mestalla Stadium, which many media reporters and commentators did not expect before the game.

After all, Valencia has been in very good form recently, and it should not be a problem to win Barcelona with the advantage of home court.

However, judging from the performance in the first few minutes of the first half, Valencia was clearly out of form.

On the contrary, Barcelona in the away game seemed more proactive and direct, showing its own characteristics.

The game restarted.

Valencia, which was lagging behind at home, consciously increased its intensity in attacking, and also reduced the dribbling time during the transition from defense to offense, trying to pass the football out so that Mata or David Schier could play.

Val came to lead the development direction of football and organize a more effective offense.

Valencia's self-adjustment was very successful and created enough threats after two minutes.

Cazorla got the ball near the center circle and pretended to pass the ball to Mata who was retreating to respond.

As a result, he shifted the center of gravity of Busquets and Xavi and suddenly buckled the left side of the net and shook it.

Open angle.

All Barcelona defenders thought that Cazorla's change was to find Aiello who was attacking the left rib, so Keita, Fabregas and Alves all consciously approached Aiello.

But what no one expected was that Cazorla turned out to make a long pass with his left foot to find Jordi Alba who came in at high speed from the left.

This change was obviously not expected by Barcelona.

Full-back Alves quickly braked, turned around and rushed towards Jordi Alba, who was looking for the ball to land.

When Alves approached Jordi Alba, the latter had already adjusted the football at his feet and crossed directly.

Alves subconsciously stepped on tiptoe with his left foot and flew forward to block the ball with his foot.

However, what Jordi Alba passed was not a high ball, because Aiello was not in the penalty area, and David Villa's physical fitness has declined with age, facing the combination of Mascherano and Pique.

It's hard to get a spot.

So Jordi Alba passed an inverted triangle.

As the camera switches, the football moves from Valencia's offensive left to the right of Barcelona's penalty area.

At the same time, the Valencia fans at the scene burst into loud cheers because it was Aiello who appeared here.

Keita, who was following Aiello, pressed hard with his shoulder, preventing Aiello from easily getting the chance to shoot.

At the same time, Pique also subconsciously moved to the right, approaching Ai Luo.

If Aiello chooses to shoot, Pique can still use his body to block Aiello's shot at the first opportunity.

However, Aiello's original idea was not to shoot at all.

When Keita applied pressure and attracted Pique's attention, his forward right foot did not touch the football, but cleverly missed it and the football rolled towards the big goal.

The top of the penalty area.

“Juan Mata” Following a shout from the commentator Hyde, Mata did not make any adjustments and raised his left foot to hit the football while running.

Both Pique and Mascherano seemed half a beat too slow to block the ball.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Valdez was focused enough to hit the ball, and he turned sideways to block Mata's shot with one palm.

"Oh oh oh" A burst of exclamations erupted from the scene.

Although Valencia's offensive change did not result in a goal, it sounded a warning to Barcelona.

Valencia could create enough threats while bypassing Aiello.

Ancelotti therefore returned to the coaching bench, continuing to cross his legs leisurely and mechanically chewing a certain famous chewing gum.

Since Valencia bypassed Aiello and also created a threatening attack, Barcelona's defensive attitude has become much more correct.

It is very focused on the defensive end and does not lose sight of one thing or another.

But what they don't know is that as long as there are not enough personnel to defend Ai Luo, it is a kind of losing sight of the other.

Because Aiello's personal ability is very strong, if there are not enough defensive players to restrict him, it is easy to be unable to guard against Aiello during defensive operations.

Three minutes later, which was the fourteenth minute of the first half, Wang Xiaolei took the shot of Messi, who was in very good form, in his arms.

He did not pretend to press the ball under his body and delay time like before, but directly took a run-up and threw the ball with one hand to the metronome Cazorla who wanted the ball.

Xavi, who was originally preparing to retreat, followed the essence of tikitaka's tactics and ran forward immediately, hoping to steal the ball with Fabregas.

Valencia, who had the same tactics, naturally knew that Barcelona would continue to counterattack immediately in this situation.

Cazorla did not stick to the ball at his feet, arched his feet, passed the ball to Benatia, and then turned around and ran.

Benatia also did not stick to the ball and passed the ball to Azpilicueta.

The football passed through the feet of Javi Martinez and Mata and returned to Cazorla's feet again.

After failing to grab the ball several times in a row, Barcelona players began to retreat to half court.

Valencia is worried about consuming too much physical energy, and Barcelona is also worried.

Although the weekend's league opponents are not strong, the opponent Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals next week is completely tough.

After Robben joined Bayern Munich, the two wings formed by Ribery are extremely threatening.

Moreover, both of them are players who can pass and shoot, and their ability to cut inside is even better.

This is an offensive method that Barcelona must be afraid of.

This game cannot allow too much consumption.

With Barcelona's defenders retreating to half-court, Cazorla can calmly take the ball and look up.

This time he did not make a long pass to Jordi Alba, nor did he create space for David Silva on the right, but instead handed it to Aiello, who was guarded by only two people.

For a moment, Keita and Alves stared at him.

Of course, the two of them did not blindly stick together, but consciously kept a safe distance, because this could prevent the accelerated breakthrough caused by Ai Luo's super explosive power.

But what they didn't expect was that Ai Luo had already planned to use their little thought to create opportunities.

Aiello suddenly stepped forward to meet the football before it reached his feet, widening the distance between Keita and Alves, and then slammed the ball to the left with the arch of his right foot.

At the same time, he pushed hard with the toes of his left foot, turning his entire body to the left, completing a half-turn, and faced the defense of Keita and Alves head-on.

At this time, there seemed to be a big question mark hanging above their heads, and they had no idea what Ai Luo wanted to do.

But soon, they knew Ai Luo's intentions.

Aiello did not stop after completing the half-turn.

He first made an illusion with his right foot that he was going to pass to the right to Mata, deceiving Keita, who was close to the center, to move half a step to the left, and then quickly followed the general.

The football that was originally dunked with the right foot was dunked to the left.

His right foot landed on the ground, his left foot connected with the football that was dunked by his right foot, and he dunked hard into the space where Keita and Alves only saw.

“Fried meatballs” exclaimed a local commentator in Barcelona.

They are very familiar with this move.

It is Iniesta's famous stunt.

Out of defensive instinct, Alves fell to the ground and stretched out his foot to hook him.

Even if he didn't hit the ball, he still wanted to keep Aiello where he was.

Because now is the critical moment when switching from offense to defense, and the defensive system has not yet settled.

If Aiello is allowed to successfully break through, the result will be unpredictable.

Keita also had the same idea, but due to his previous movement to the left, the distance between him and Aiello was half a meter away.

It happened to be this half-meter distance that caused a fatal mistake in their joint defense.

Alves' defensive instincts are very quick, but Aiello's explosive power is stronger, and his acceleration on the spot is unparalleled in the world.

According to relevant research statistics from Cies, the authoritative European football organization, Ai Luo's explosive power on the spot is even stronger than that of Ronaldo, an alien.

So Alves Mao didn't even touch it.

The sky above the Mestalla Stadium erupted with huge cheers because of Aiello's wonderful breakthrough.

Valencia fans had already roughly guessed what Aiello's breakthrough meant.

He broke through the midfielder and full-back, which meant that the only defensive player he faced was the centre-back.

But David Villa's forward acceleration attracted Mascherano's defensive attention, and Aiello only had to face Pique next.

When Pique faced Aiello, he chose a defensive strategy of fighting and retreating half sideways.

Of course, his defensive action was to selectively give up the wing and block Aiello's inward route.

If Pique faced a first-class attacker, he would still be a wonderful defensive choice, but he faced the world's number one breakthrough madman Ai Luo.

Aiello unreasonably dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, and the speed immediately changed from third gear to fifth gear.

Pique subconsciously thought that Aiello was going to go outside, so he turned his body to the left and ran towards the baseline.

As a result, when he completed his turn, he could not see Aiello appearing on the outside.

As an experienced defensive player, he immediately realized that Aiello had spiked the ball in disguise while dribbling the ball at high speed.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch" Huge cheers erupted in the stands again, and the fans cheered for Aiello's visually impactful breakthrough.

Even Spanish King Juan Carlos, who was watching the game from the VIP seats, stood up and applauded Aiello's wonderful breakthrough.

"Beyond him."

Li Ai, who was sitting in the VIP box, couldn't help but clenched his little fists to cheer for his father because of the loud shouts that broke out at the scene.

And there was a picture in his mind of becoming a super star that attracted much attention, just like his father.

By the time Pique turned to the right, it was already too late.

Aiello's super explosive power seized the opportunity.

Mascherano had to give up his defense on David Villa and make up for it.

However, Aiello dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, and shot with his left heel from the line of the penalty area.

No one could have guessed this change in pace, including goalkeeper Valdez.

Therefore, his side dive when he fell to the ground appeared to be much slower, and the football rubbed the inner edge of the right goal post and bounced into the snow-white net:
