Had lunch, rested in the afternoon, yes, yes, rested, Slomka wanted everyone to be refreshed to deal with the game, he didn't arrange anything, he arranged dinner at 5 o'clock in the evening, the content of the dinner was relatively simple, the main thing was to replenish the energy of the players before the game, it was impossible to go hungry to the game.

After dinner, we rested for an hour, and then set off for Camp Nou at 7 o'clock, the hotel is not far from Camp Nou, and we arrived at Camp Nou at about 7:20.

The Camp Nou is the largest stadium in all of Europe, with a capacity of nearly 100,000 spectators, second only to the Maracanã in Brazil, with a jaw-dropping 200,000 spectators.

Barcelona is a very special club, its first president was Swiss, it was founded in 1899 when there were many foreigners in the team, and then the next year Barcelona gave birth to another club, that is, Espanyol Football Club, Espanyol was the first football club in Spain formed by Spanish fans. The original intention of the club was to create a club made up of local Spanish players, in order to compete with FC Barcelona, which was almost entirely made up of foreign players.

However, the tragedy later was that Barcelona of foreign origin became the pride of the Catalans, and the Spaniards became the object of disgust for most Catalans, because the Espanyol Club later accepted the title of the Spanish royal family, which made the Catalans very dissatisfied, the Catalans have a very strong sense of independence and have always wanted to split from Spain, and the Spaniards of course made their life in Barcelona very difficult.

So the Barcelona football team is the spiritual sustenance of football for Catalans, and it is very popular, and the Camp Nou not only has a large capacity, but also has a high attendance, and it is not too much to call it the home of the devil.

But this time Schalke 04's bus arrived at the stadium, but it was not "warmly" welcomed by the local fans, the reason is very simple, Schalke 04 is really nothing in the eyes of Barcelona fans, and Barcelona must have won at their home stadium, which is the real idea of Barcelona fans.

I really didn't expect to receive this kind of courtesy, Barcelona went to Schalke but was protested by the local Schalke 04 fans, Zhang Yuan didn't expect that Barcelona fans were not so excited when they came here, this is very good, to be honest, every time I go to the away stadium, I can't avoid the warm greetings of the opponent's fans, and it's good to be quiet and quiet by this kind of cold reception.

Zhang Yuan said to Neuer next to him: "The quality of Barcelona's fans is still quite high!" ”

"Tall fart, people don't take us seriously!" Neuer read the local media reports in Barcelona and said coldly.

"Ahh Zhang Yuan closed his mouth, Nai, it's really infuriating, this kind of courtesy is completely an insult to Schalke 04!

Zhang Yuan vowed to look good at the fans at the stadium! People are so strange, people scold you and think it's not the biggest insult, and it's the biggest insult that you don't even want to pay attention to. In fact, Barcelona fans didn't mean to insult Schalke 04, but everyone felt that this game was too ordinary, and Barcelona's promotion was too suspenseful, so there was no need to put pressure on the players of Schalke 04 outside the field.

Entering the away team dressing room, everyone changed their clothes and went out to warm up, the game only started at 8:45 p.m., leaving plenty of time for everyone to warm up, the Barcelona players had not yet arrived, and the Schalke 04 players were halfway through the pitch for warm-up training.

Zhang Yuan started the acceleration sprint, well, it feels pretty good, although he hasn't trained normally for more than a month, it seems that his speed hasn't slowed down yet. Running around the court with the ball, still as agile as before, there is nothing uncomfortable.

Rakitic saw Zhang Yuan stop, and passed a long pass directly to Zhang Yuan's back, Zhang Yuan grinned in pain, completely defenseless, although Rakitic did not use heavy force, but the sudden smashing on Zhang Yuan's back was still very painful.

Which is enough for the day, passing the ball like this, it hurts Lao Tzu to death!

Zhang Yuan looked back with a bitter face, and it turned out to be Rakitic!

Rakitic looked at Zhang Yuan's painful expression and asked in amazement, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Damn, you can try!" Zhang Yuan still bared his teeth and said.

"Haha, I'm sorry!" Rakitic's laughter proved that his apology was not sincere at all.

"How does it feel?" Rakitic asked Zhang Yuan.

"Not bad!" Zhang Yuan knew that he was asking about his own game feelings, after all, Zhang Yuan had only been back with the team for two days, and he was training alone the day before, and he came to Barcelona today to train with the team.

"That's good, I'll wait for you to put on a good show!" Rakitic said with a grin.

"No problem, I scored, please eat!" Zhang Yuan made a bet.

"Wow, I ate you last time, I didn't expect you to remember it! Well, if you score, I'll please eat, if not? Rakitic asked rhetorically.

"Big deal, I'll treat you to another meal! But the odds are slim! Zhang Yuan said with an oath.

"We'll see, see you!" Rakitic said with a smile and a thumbs up.

Schalke 04's players warmed up not long after, the Barcelona players arrived and changed their clothes and began to warm up in the other half of the stadium, Zhang Yuan saw Henry, Eto'o, Puyol, Zambrotta, Thuram and other stars, these players are emperor superstars, Schalke 04 can't take out a player of the same magnitude as the other party at all, hey, just look at the cards and know that the gap between the two sides is really huge.

Now Zhang Yuan will not be as excited as when he first came to Inter to see the stars, everything is used to it, what about the stars? In the last game, he was almost embarrassed by his own team, but this time Zhang Yuan is confident that his team can still make Barcelona embarrassed.

Imagine how cool it would be if Schalke 04 could play Barcelona very embarrassed, if he could score a goal and eliminate Barcelona, it would be so beautiful, thinking about these Zhang Yuan unconsciously smiled on his face.

After the warm-up, back in the locker room, Slomka drew a formation map on the tactical board, facing Barcelona he was ready to steal the start, the last game gave him a lot of confidence, he felt that Barcelona was far less powerful than on paper, and the last three axes were cut first.

How to cut these three axes is learned, Barcelona likes to control the ball, okay let Barcelona control the ball at the beginning, Schalke 04's strong offensive use means is the interception of the midfield, and then the long pass to find Kuranyi, Kuranyi grabbed the first point, Zhang Yuan, Asamoah grabbed the second point, this is a very simple high and high tactics, the midfielder will not invest too much in the front court but focus on interception, not only to ensure the defensive level formed by the midfield and the back line, but also to immediately launch a counterattack.

These three axes are Slomka's opening tactics, at the beginning of the game all three strikers have to be recycled, to attract the opponent's back line to press, if it works, Slomka will let the three strikers go out to carry out high pressing, suppress the opponent's back line, so that the two fullbacks assist weakened, to minimize the number of troops invested by Barcelona in the front, if it doesn't work, still take the high pressing tactics, he doesn't believe that the other side does not make mistakes.

In the announcement of the starting list, Slomka cheated again, and it was not Zhang Yuan who reported to UEFA at all, but Kobia Schvili, and as a result, Zhang Yuan stood in the starting position when he arrived in the player tunnel.

Rijkaard knew this, of course, he was still a little unhappy, but this matter is nothing, he formulated the tactic of Zhang Yuan's substitute attendance, and now since it is a big deal to start the game, it is enough to change the tactics.

"Hello everyone, this is the sports station! Welcome to watch the 07-08 season of the UEFA Champions League live broadcast, I am the commentator He Wei, today we are broadcasting for you the second leg of the 1/4 game, Schalke 04 away to challenge Barcelona, in the first leg of the contest Barcelona won 1:0 away Schalke 04, an away goal advantage allows Barcelona to take the lead, but from the recent state of Barcelona, they are not particularly good now, the first leg of the game Schalke 04 took the initiative on the fieldThe good news before the game is that Chinese player Zhang Yuan made a timely comeback before the game and was also included in the 18-man squad, but he was not a starter on the starting list we got from our hands, and it is still a question whether he can play today. Today's guest commentator we invite is still Tao Weitao! Coach Tao, what do you think of this game? "Of course, the sports station chose to broadcast the game live.

"Hello audience friends! Personally, I am still optimistic about Barcelona in this game, the overall strength will be advantageous to Barcelona, and at the same time they are at home, the problem reflected in the last game on Schalke 04 is that the striker's ability to grasp the opportunity is lacking, Zhang Yuan is not a pure shooter even if he comes back, and the ability to seize opportunities needs to be further improved! The significance of his comeback is that it can enrich the offensive play in the frontcourt, Schalke 04 can consider more ground attack, and Zhang Yuan's breakthrough in the front court will still cause a lot of trouble to Barcelona! Tao Wei expressed his opinion.

His opinion is also the voice of the majority of fans, no matter how Zhang Yuan is advocated in China, but Zhang Yuan is not as omnipotent as everyone advocates, and Barcelona's strength is there, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, there is nothing impossible in the football world, but the chance of an upset for a strong team like Barcelona is very small.
