Chapter 258: Yi, Do You Love Us or Don't You Love Us?
For Barcelona, the league is a goal they strive for, and the Champions League is the highest honour.
In terms of selection, the Champions League is bigger than the league.
This time Barcelona regrouped to prepare for the next Champions League, and Griezmann also came to this team for this reason.
As early as the Ballon d'Or ceremony, the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League was held simultaneously.
Barcelona will face Napoli from Serie A.
Napoli is a traditional 'giant', and many people may say that Napoli does not deserve the title of giant.
But for some long-time fans, they still remember how terrifying it was during the Maradona period when Napoli was led by the Pampas Eagles.
Now that Maradona has left Napoli, the iconic No. 10 shirt has been retired, but even so, Napoli is still a club to be respected.
Napoli have not won much honour since the Maradona era, but Barcelona are not to be underestimated, especially as they are in danger of capsizing due to their precarious form after the regroup.
Serie A is notoriously consistent, and there are two ways to play against such teams.
Either launch a stormy attack, or stretch the line, constantly test with the wings, and play with them for a change of pace.
Barcelona are good at both, but Valverde doesn't know how to choose.
It's the same with Napoli, where Yile's team is a big problem in midfield.
Napoli's coaching staff also spent the night deliberating on how to limit Barcelona's midfield.
Both sides are preparing well for this knockout match.
And for the fans, this knockout match can be described as a gluttonous feast.
So far, there are a total of seven knockout teams that have not played in the Champions League.
And in this Champions League, no team has shown overwhelming strength, which has caused the Champions League to be full of sight.
Anyone can climb to the top of Europe.
The water ghosts are likely to overturn the giants, and the giants will also have a pull-over performance, which makes the results of this Champions League knockout round more and more confusing.
Even many people are ridiculing that Napoli in the top half and Atalanta in the bottom half will be chosen for the final.
Give it a go, and turn it into a motorcycle.
Both Atalanta and Napoli are the weakest teams in their respective semi-divisions in the predictions, and of course, the possibility of qualifying cannot be ruled out.
It's just that it's a joke, and no one thinks they're really going to show up, except for the fans on both sides.
......
Barcelona are actively preparing for the game, but in recent times, the coaching staff have found it a little difficult to concentrate.
This surprised them, after all, Yile's professional attitude is very good, this is a recognized thing, so what is wrong with him?
When the coaching staff came forward to ask, Yi Le expressed his concerns.
He has indeed been a little uneasy recently, mainly because Zhang Doudou is not far from the production period, and the premise that he is about to become a father has made this rookie father a little dazed.
For this, the coaching staff is also a big one, and they don't know how to enlighten Yile.
In the end, they gave the job to experienced people like Messi, Pique, etc.
When they heard about Yi Le's troubles, they couldn't help but look at each other, and immediately couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In fact, they also had this kind of worry at that time, always thinking crankily, this is something that cannot be avoided, but there is always a solution.
At Messi's invitation, Yile came to Messi's house to play with Mateo for a day.
Messi's original intention was to let Yi Le feel what it was like to get along with children, but he underestimated the lethality of his own children.
Matteo is very naughty and makes Yile a little scrambling.
And children at this age are the most annoying.
Over the course of the morning, Yile became more depressed.
Now, watching Yi Le leave with his head drooping, Messi was also stunned.
He was well-intentioned, but it seemed self-defeating.
For the next few days, Yile was in this situation, which worried the coaching staff and the players.
However, on the fifth day, Yile returned to normal.
This surprised the team members, and after asking, Yi Le was relieved after communicating with his father.
In other words, he was scolded by Lao Yi fiercely.
'Thinking of useless things, what's the matter?' If you don't want to bring it, bring it to us, your mother is talking about her grandson all day long, just for us to play... Ahem... Bring! ’
Yi Le: "........."
Later, Yi Le himself figured it out, it's not a big deal, everyone has come through this process, as for how to be a father, there is nothing exquisite, Yi Le will not make any big sense, but he hopes that he can grow up happily.
After thinking about this, Yile was relieved.
At the same time, the day of the knockout rounds of the Champions League is getting closer.
On January 20th, Barcelona vs Napoli will play the first meeting at Camp Nou.
This match was taken very seriously by both sides.
Although this match is not taken seriously compared to other matchups, it is still a focus in Italy and Spain.
The day before the match, El Catalunya published a manifesto:
At the top is an image of countless Barcelona fans standing in front of the camera, holding up their uniforms in their hands to face the camera, and the whole thing is a sea of red and blue.
'We are Barcelona! We are back with a new attitude, and the victory will be ours! ’
The words were arrogant, but Napoli was not to be outdone.
They shouted through the media:
'The will of the true Pampas X belongs to Naples, you are impostors!' ’
Looking at the sour words of Naples, El Catalunya replied:
'In addition to the 10th, we have the 21st! ’
'Oh? The genius who was swept away by you? ’
Le Catalunya immediately became furious: 'At least we have it, and we have cleared our suspicions, he loves Barcelona!' ’
'Who knows?' ’
The media on both sides are frantically targeting, which also makes Barcelona fans feel a little angry, and they have run to Yile's Twitter to leave messages.
'Easy, say quickly, you love Barcelona!' ’
'Yi, you love us, don't you?' ’
'Yi, we love you and you love us too!' ’
Yi Le looked confused, what are these fans doing again, like a group of children who lack love.
And when he learned the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help crying and laughing.
And forced by the enthusiasm of the fans, Yile also had to make a public statement.
Yile's response was simple.
He @ Barcelona and La Masia, and at the end is a 'careful' emoji.
Now, the Barcelona fans are comfortable.
"Gazeta Catalunya" was even more exclaiming: "Look! He loves us! ”
