The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Blackburn Rovers and Barcelona was full of slots, and several decisions by the referee caused controversy again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ?ww?w?．??

Speaking after the game, Pep Guardiola said: "It was a good game and the win gave us confidence. Everyone takes the details seriously in exchange for the ultimate victory. I also want to praise the team for the excellent performance in defence, we did a good job defensively as a whole. Blackburn Rovers started the game with plenty of energy, we dared to keep the ball in the opposition half, showed what we were capable of, and successfully stopped the opposition from the wings, and we lost possession and quickly rebounded. Our opponents pressed high in the league last weekend, and today, Blackburn Rovers opted to play heavily in midfield. In any case, Barcelona remained positive throughout the game. ”

Messi said: "The knockout round is not over, the opponent will try to win the second leg, and we will do the same. Today's victory is something to be happy about, but we hope to find the best tactic to beat our opponent in the second leg. ”

But compared to Barcelona's satisfaction, Blackburn Rovers is furious, and the focus of the firepower is on the controversy created by the referee, such as Barcelona's failure to make offside, but the referee misjudged that the Blackburn player was offside, and then Suarez fell to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee thought that he faked a fall and showed him a yellow card, but judging from the slow-motion replay, Suarez and the opposing goalkeeper Valdés did have physical contact, although his movements were somewhat exaggerated.

After the game, Mensa Bangsu sarcastically said to Barcelona: "Barcelona is a team of crybabies and actors, and there is this unsightly referee today!" But you can't spoil our feast, come on Blackburn! ”

Didier Drogba, a former Blackburn star and now Evergrande's top player, also wrote on his Twitter: "Again, it's always like this! Again! ”

For this reason, Arthur returned to Blackburn Rover, and after learning the details of the game, he called Platini as soon as possible.

Arthur's phone call to Platini naturally didn't ask questions about the game, because it would be too low, and he just chatted with Planini about the weather, the other party's recent situation, and the preparations for the British Olympic team.

However, both sides are also well aware of the purpose of Arthur's call, and Platini also took the initiative to apologize to Arthur and apologize for UEFA for failing to appoint a high-level referee to officiate Blackburn's match with Barcelona.

This is also the only treatment, because of the status of the richest man in Europe, Blackburn's record, and Arthur's ability to influence the status of the four British Football Associations and many other factors, even Platini, who has been in charge of UEFA for many years, is still in awe of Arthur.

After getting Platini's response, Arthur also put the matter down, because it was not difficult for Blackburn to face the disadvantage of being only one goal behind on aggregate.

Reversal, Arthur's Blackburn is all too familiar.

In order to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with Barcelona, Arthur relieved Ancelotti and let Ancelotti calmly shake hands with Everton 1:1 in the 35th round of the Premier League.

On April 25, the most eye-catching focus of the Champions League semi-finals was contested at the Camp Nou, with Blackburn facing Barcelona away!

Barcelona's striker Lionel Messi bluntly pointed out his innate hostility to Blackburn the day before the game, both during the Ronaldo and now Messi era, who regarded the Roses as his worst enemy, and this confrontational demonstration was also supported by manager Pep Guardiola.

'Leo has been closely watched against Blackburn Rovers over the past few years, so it's understandable to have that sentiment. He really wants us to win, so I don't think it's strange for him to say that. Leo may not have used the word 'hate' in the wrong way, everyone uses the word 'hate', and very few people say 'dislike', which is easy to say, but it doesn't mean that he really hates Blackburn that way. ”

How will Messi's "hatred" be vented on the Roses?

Tomorrow's Camp Nou will give the answer.

And Ancelotti claimed on the eve of the away game against Barcelona that the current red and purple Barcelona is not "unshakable".

Ancelotti said: "I can feel the morale of the team is high and everyone is eagerly waiting for the game. ”

Pep Guardiola said Barcelona needed to focus on the rest of the season as we approached the end of the season, and as for Blackburn, he said: "Blackburn have been our main rivals in the Champions League. We're two of the most successful clubs in Europe right now, and when we come together, you'll see sparks fly. ”

In this game, Barcelona's lineup did not surprise the media before the game, and Sanchez, who returned from injury, sat on the bench.

For Blackburn, Mesut Ozil came on for J Ronaldo, who was plagued by a minor injury, and Phil Jones started for Vermaelen, who was injured in the warm-up.

Arthur, who appeared away for the first time in nearly two seasons, looked down from the VIP box, and although he could only see a small piece of the stands, there was no other color in the eye except for the boiling red and blue jersey.

The two or three thousand Blackburn fans who came with the team were like an inconspicuous wave in this vast ocean, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the midst of a loud and neat singing, a crisp whistle brought Arthur back to Camp Nou, and in any case, at least the victory in this game was a must for Blackburn.

Although in the dressing room, Ancelotti has made detailed arrangements. But after really arriving on the field, the Blackburn players felt the heavy pressure that Barcelona brought to themselves at their home stadium, facing nearly 80,000 home fans, the Barcelona players launched a fierce attack on Blackburn's position as soon as they came up.

Iniesta was rushing towards Blackburn's half with the ball, but before he could get far, Ozil stopped in front of him, and in the face of Ozil Iniesta's fine dribbling technique was instantly vividly displayed, with a flick and a button, plus a half turn, and threw Ozil behind him.

But Alonso, who was hiding behind, had been waiting for him for a long time, standing in front of Barcelona's midfield just past Mesut Ozil.

Although Ozil's defensive level is really average, his enthusiasm is enough, and as soon as he was passed, he quickly chased back and formed a flank attack on Iniesta with Alonso in front.

Although he was very confident in his skills, Iniesta was not blindly impulsive, seeing that Xavi next to him had already run over, he immediately swept and shifted the football to the middle.

Receiving a pass from Andres Iniesta sideways, Xavi stopped the ball firmly at his feet, ready to look for an opportunity to make some fuss in the middle, but when the Barcelona deputy just raised his head to look ahead, suddenly it was dark in front of him, and a tall figure stood in front of him.

There was no time for the Spanish midfielder to react, Xavi didn't have time to make any moves, a huge pain came from under his feet, and then his chest was stuffy, and after being hit hard, Xavi's whole body was like a thrown pocket, swinging high, and then falling heavily on the grass two meters away.

"Sigh......" With a burst of surprise from the fans in the audience, Xavi really didn't fake a fall this time, he only felt that there was darkness in front of him, Venus was shining, and the whole was about to faint.

"Tick!" Less than a minute into the game, the referee had to blow the whistle for a timeout.

And Frank Lampard, the culprit of the whole thing, was standing quietly in front of Xavi, who was still lying on the ground, looking down at his opponent with a gloomy face, and there was no trace of apology on his handsome cheeks, as if he was not only the opponent of the game, but also the enemy who killed his father.

As soon as the game began, Frank Lampard's gunpowder-filled behavior shocked the Barcelona players inexplicably, and only the Blue Devils were as calm as Tarzan.

That's exactly what Arthur instilled before coming to Spain, and they have to be tough in this game!

"Pay attention to your movements, control your emotions, just as the game started, I don't want you to go down without playing at halftime, understand?" The referee gave Frank Lampard a sternly worded warning, and behind him, Xavi woke up from his dizziness and slowly climbed up from the ground.

La Masia was not a place to develop tough guys, and with Lampard being so ferociously cared for at the start of the game, Xavi naturally had a hint of heart palpitations.

Rubbing his chest, which was still a little stuffy, and twisting his ankles, it was no big deal before Xavi let go of his hanging heart, but seeing the bloodthirsty Lampard in his eyes in front of him, Xavi's heart lifted again.

The free kick was quickly opened, and the game continued, but Barcelona's fluency was interrupted by a foul, and the game immediately entered chaos.

After several passes but no chances were found, Messi could only helplessly pass the football back to Cesc Fabregas behind him in the press of Kompany.

As soon as Cesc Fabregas got his hands on the football, Frank Lampard rushed at him quickly, and the Three Lions captain didn't want to leave any room for Cesc Fabregas to stay.

Obviously, Cesc Fabregas was also a little timid about Lampard's rough foul just now, so in a hurry, a helpless return pass, the football was completely handed over to Pique in the backline, but as soon as Pique received the football, Torres had already rushed towards him, and the fierce posture seemed to not care about the football at his feet, but just bent on knocking him away.

Pique, who could only talk hard, had to kick the ball back again, and after the game started, the football was forced back to his own door before the ball had not yet entered the Blackburn Rovers penalty area.

Valdés kicked the ball high with a big foot in a hurry, and flew far towards the midfield, no matter what time it is, danger must not exist in front of his own goal, this is the goalkeeper's first rule.

Everyone could see that Blackburn Rovers had dominated the pitch and the reason for that change was Frank Lampard's foul early on. (To be continued.) )
