Chapter 427: Flying Germans (90/134)

Lazio has now regained their identity as a -taka team. When they get the ball, they are not in a hurry to pass the ball to the goal.  M

Because they also know that Barcelona's defense against Klose is very tight.

If they pass it rashly, it will not help Klose score, but will waste an offensive opportunity.

The game time is getting shorter and shorter, and Lazio's offensive opportunities are getting fewer and fewer. One less is one less.

Now Barcelona is trying every means to delay time. If the ball is at their feet, they will pass the ball continuously until the end of the game.

So we must ensure that the ball is under Lazio's control as much as possible.

When Lazio attacks, they start to pass back and forth in front of the penalty area. Everyone is running and looking for an opportunity to kill with one shot.

If this is a normal situation, it is not a difficult thing for Lazio to score a goal, because anyone can score a goal. As long as there is a gap, a player runs to the position, and then he can pass the ball and then shoot.

In that case, Lazio is now estimated to be five or six goals ahead of Barcelona.

But now it is not possible, because they can only pass the ball to Klose, back and forth, and the final pass target must be Klose.

Barcelona is much easier to defend.

※ ※ ※

Lazio is constantly passing the ball, and Klose in front is constantly running. Although he is actually very tired, he has not stopped his running pace.

Changsheng said that opportunities come from running, so he has to run. If he doesn't run, his teammates don't know how to pass the ball.

-Taka is flowing water, and it is threatening only when it flows.

Klose is in the penalty area for a while, and outside the penalty area for a while. He ran to the side and in the middle for a while.

But no matter where he is, there are Barcelona defenders around him.

Sometimes it is Puyol, sometimes it is Pique.

Sometimes there will be more than two Barcelona players around him.

It can be seen how much Barcelona values ​​him.

※ ※ ※

Ledesma took the ball outside the penalty area, and after a series of passes, the ball fell to his feet again.

This was not the first time he received the ball. In this process, he had received the ball three times, and the ball was passed from left to right. And from right to left three times.

But there was no good chance.

When the ball fell to Ledesma's feet again, he saw a gap!

But for this attack, it was too small, a tiny gap.

Should I pass the ball?

What if I don't pass it? Then I have to continue to pass horizontally and back.

But what's the point of doing this?

Ledesma decided to take a risk.

As an organizer, sometimes you have to take risks.

And when to take risks. When not to take risks is the time to test an organizer's ability.

Ledesma chose to take a risk.

After he received the ball, he made a slight adjustment and sent the ball to the gap!

※ ※ ※

At the same time, Klose was also rushing to the gap!

He and Ledesma saw the gap almost at the same time.

As a striker, his ideas were much simpler than Ledesma's. Ledesma saw the empty space and had to consider whether to use it.

Klose only needed to see the empty space. And run to the empty space. If the ball was passed, it was not his business.

Even if the ball was not passed, he had to run.

So he ran.

As a result, the ball was passed from the other side!

Barcelona's defense against Klose was indeed very tight. Seeing him running towards the ball, Puyol and Mascherano rushed from different directions to try to block his shot.

In the small space of the penalty area, it was difficult for Klose to stop the ball. Not to mention getting rid of the shot.

If he shot directly... This angle is very difficult, and the shot is likely to fly.

Barcelona's defense this time can be said to be seamless.

But Klose did not stop the ball. There was no shot, let alone getting rid of it.

When he ran towards the ball, he had already thought about what to do next.

He not only considered himself, but also the overall offense of the team.

He passed the ball before Puyol and Mascherano!

He didn't stop the ball or shoot, but passed it!

He passed the ball horizontally and passed it out of the penalty area in one breath!

Klose's choice was somewhat unexpected by the Barcelona players.

The ball passed in front of Mascherano and rolled out of the penalty area.

At the same time, outside the penalty area, Lazio's full-back Azpilicueta inserted and received Klose's pass!

Although there was a Barcelona defender in front of him, Klose's pass still created a gap for Azpilicueta.

This gap was not enough for him to break through or shoot, but it was enough for him to cross!

Azpilicueta kicked the ball directly!

※ ※ ※

After passing the ball, Klose immediately turned and retreated. He had already thought about what Azpilicueta would do.

As expected, Azpilicueta chose to cross, and it was a high ball!

This was within his expectations, because if he wanted to bypass Barcelona's defense, the safest way was to pass the ball high!

From the moment Klose passed the ball, his movements were beyond the expectations of the Barcelona defenders. Puyol and Mascherano lost their positions in order to catch him. Klose retreated and ran into the gap.

Then he rushed to the front of the goal again, intending to head the ball!

Although Puyol and Mascherano were shaken, there was still someone who was not completely shaken off.

That was Pique!

Pique rushed up from behind and faced the football!

Klose just ran out of position and noticed Pique's presence.

But at this time, he couldn't let it go.

This was the best opportunity. If he retreated, there would be no better chance to score.

Now is the time to fight!

Klose still jumped as planned.

At the same time, Pique also jumped up while rushing forward.

Both people faced the football at the same time.

It's just that Klose jumped backwards. And Pique was forward.

Logically, Pique should have more advantages.

But in judging the landing point of the football, Klose is obviously more skilled!

He got in front of Pique, grabbed the ball first, and then shook his head!

Just as he just swung his head to hit the football, he felt a huge force rushing from behind and knocked him forward!

※ ※ ※

"This is a foul!" The Italian commentator just saw this scene and couldn't help shouting loudly. In his mind, Pique knocked over Klose, and Klose headed the football under Pique's interference...

But this scene did not happen.

When Klose headed the football, the football did not fly directly over the crossbar, but flew smoothly towards the goal.

Then he was knocked off by Pique!

Pique was still a step late, and his collision did not interfere with the flight trajectory of the football, and the football flew directly to the back end of the goal!

While being knocked down by Pique from behind. Klose still completed a difficult lion's head-shaking action!

The football did not fly to the front post, but flew to the back point!

This caught Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes off guard!

※ ※ ※

In fact, Pique felt that he had no chance to head the ball when he jumped.

Because Klose's position was too good...

This old guy fully demonstrated his experience advantage.

It was impossible for Pique to get over Klose and head the ball.

So he temporarily changed his strategy. His goal was not to head the ball, but to hit him!

He wanted to knock Klose from behind and interfere with him!

This was a very risky move. If Klose fell to the ground, it might be a penalty.

But other than that, Pique really had no other choice.

So he hit Klose hard from behind!

He successfully knocked Klose over, but before he could laugh, he saw the ball flying past him. It flew straight to the back point!

He turned his head to see, and watched the ball hit the back post and then fell to the inside of the goal line...

"Ball...ball...ball in - ball - in!!!"

The commentator was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that the ball really flew into the goal, he cheered.

※ ※ ※

When Klose was knocked out by Pique, many people thought it was a foul. The ball would definitely not go in. If the referee didn't blow a penalty, they would scold the referee to death!

Lazio fans all had this thought in their hearts.

But when they saw the ball flying to the goal, they finally didn't have to do it!

All Lazio fans and Italian commentators jumped up from their seats.

"L!!!"

"Klose! Klose! Klose!!! The twelfth goal!! He surpassed Messi!! He is now the top scorer in the Champions League!"

"Amazing Klose! Flying German! Even if Pique's defense was a foul, it couldn't stop Klose's determination to score!"

"The last suspense is over! Lazio is the Champions League champion, Klose is the top scorer! He doesn't have to share with Messi!"

※ ※ ※

When Klose was knocked out of his way by Pique, he was still turning his head to see if the ball went in. He didn't care about maintaining his balance at all, so he fell to the ground hard in the end.

This fall was not light, but he didn't care about it at all.

He was still watching football.

Watching the football fly into the goal, he jumped up from the ground!

He finally didn't rush into the goal to pick up the ball, but turned and ran to the corner flag area, and then he did a somersault in the sprint!

Although Changsheng strictly forbade him to do this, he decided to make an exception now.

Without such a celebration, it seemed that he couldn't express his excitement at all.

And this time, Changsheng didn't shout and criticize Klose's celebration on the sidelines.

He just stood on the sidelines and waved helplessly.

Don't blame Klose at this time.

Being able to become the top scorer of the Champions League at the age of 33 is indeed worth celebrating like this!

After waving helplessly, Changsheng raised his thumb and stretched it to Klose in the distance.

Well done!
