Midweek.

The third round of the Champions League group stage kicks off.

This round of matches is increasingly capturing the attention of La Liga fans.

Because Lu Yang, who appeared on the roster in the last match, is starting this time!

"Today’s Focus! Bar?a’s First Match After Lu Yang’s Return!"

"Match Schedule! Lu Yang Faces Two Big Fans!"

"Champion of Champions League Returns to the Field! All Eyes on Him!"

"Finally Waiting for You! After the Serious Injury, Is Lu Worth Seventy Million?"

"Mebarak Is Suspended Within the Team, Young Pirola Continues to Start!"

"Canisell: Lu Yang Is in Great Form, He Can Lead Us to Victory!"

"Ortiz: Trust Me, This Barcelona Has Become Different!"

"Robin Fan: Very Excited! Hope to Score a Goal at Camp Nou!"

"Peterk: Lu Yang Is My Primary Defensive Target, I Know How Strong He Is!"

Both teammates, opponents, and fans have given this match an extremely high evaluation.

At eight o’clock local time, the match officially begins.

At the same time, the AC Milan VS Dortmund match next door also starts.

Compared to Bar?a’s side, that match is filled with suspense.

And the result also did not disappoint everyone’s expectations.

On Dortmund’s side, Hanlanda contributed an assist and a goal, continuing his brilliant performance.

Four goals in three rounds of the Champions League, the momentum is fierce.

However, Dortmund lost the regular match.

On AC Milan’s side, Sogel also had an assist and a goal, showing great form.

Milovich assisted on a free kick, and Andrés scored with a rear-point cut.

AC Milan’s right-back Scamacca made a cut-back pass after a baseline drive, causing a handball in Dortmund’s penalty area.

Andrés took a clean shot and scored, achieving a brace.

AC Milan narrowly defeated Dortmund three to two.

AC Milan leads the group temporarily with six points from three matches.

Dortmund has four points.

Back to Bar?a’s side.

The main referee blows the whistle, and the match officially begins.

Ajax’s offense is quite aggressive.

In the first five minutes, they were almost pressing Bar?a to play.

Especially in the fifth minute, Robin Fan received a pass from a teammate and launched a powerful shot outside the penalty box, posing a significant threat.

Kahn was in extraordinary form and barely managed to deflect the ball.

Ortiz fought for the ball on the right side.

At this point, except for Ajax’s goalkeeper, almost all players were in Bar?a’s half.

This is Ajax’s all-out attack and defense, very aggressive, very powerful.

At the same time, it reflects Ajax’s understanding of Bar?a.

Because the current coach of Ajax is the former head coach of Bar?a.

He knows Bar?a too well.

During his tenure, Bar?a was already establishing its pass-control system!

It is different from the system he wants to build, so he wasn’t happy during his time at Bar?a.

What is extreme pass-control?

It’s about passing the ball into the opponent’s goal.

This kind of attack represents a very precise control of the ball.

But because of that, Bar?a hardly ever counters.

Unable to.

Not willing to.

This gives Ajax the confidence to attack with ten men past midfield.

But this time...

"Pass!"

Lu Yang suddenly accelerated from the center line of his own half.

Ortiz, who received the ball, immediately knew what Lu Yang was up to.

His right leg suddenly kicked.

At this moment, a voice appeared in his mind.

"This is a counterattack, Bar?a doesn’t counter!"

His right leg reached its peak.

"Control the tempo, pass back!"

His right leg shot forward.

"No, this doesn’t fit the tactical requirements, this..."

Bang!

His actions betray his thoughts!

At this moment, the system couldn’t suppress Ortiz’s keen insight into the opportunity.

He had never been so excited.

He hadn’t felt this sensation of kicking the ball out without knowing what would happen next for a long time.

This sense of loss of control made his adrenaline surge instantly.

The ball flew into the sky, from right to left, from back to front, landing on the left side of Ajax’s midfield area.

Lu Yang adjusted his running path slightly from the center to the left based on the ball’s drop point.

Ortiz was still too conservative!

This pass was only about eight meters past the midfield.

But actually, even if it reached fifteen meters beyond midfield where the opponent’s backfield was empty, Lu Yang would handle it with ease.

It would further unleash his speed advantage.

Of course, Ortiz also had his considerations.

With the advance given by this pass, if Lu Yang is fast enough, he can seize the ball and dribble to threaten the opponent’s goal.

If Lu Yang’s speed is average, he can use his positional advantage to get the ball without being overtaken.

And when Lu Yang receives the ball, he can hold up against the opponent a bit, waiting for Bar?a’s players to come up to support him.

It’s a pass that doesn’t lead to any adverse consequences.

It’s also a reflection of Bar?a’s extreme pass-control football philosophy.

One hundred percent certainty!

Not to take chances because they believe they can definitely create opportunities, so they can afford to be a bit conservative.

Lu Yang’s position is offside.

But since he was in Bar?a’s half, it’s not offside.

After receiving the ball, he didn’t execute a Marcelo instep trap perfectly, wasted a little time.

Additionally, Ajax’s Peterk had already positioned himself early for defense, and his movement speed wasn’t typical for a big guy, faster than Mebarak.

Plus, the sprint distance was too short, Lu Yang didn’t open a long distance.

So after this move, Peterk is already close to sticking to Lu Yang.

Boom!

A cheer erupted loudly in a small section of Camp Nou stadium.
