Chapter 119: The Next City First (Plus!) Five more! )
Tottenham scored again in the second half, which was fatal for Barcelona.
They were still behind despite their lack of fitness, which was a big blow to Barcelona.
In the close-up of the camera, Messi is inserted at the waist, he purses his lips, his brows are furrowed, and he obviously feels a great burden.
For Barcelona, this goal was unacceptable.
Before the game, they didn't expect this game to be so difficult, they didn't expect Tottenham to be so strong.
The numbers on paper can only be used as a reference, and when they actually face Tottenham, they understand what kind of team they are.
This very young team not only has superb skills and tactics, tacit cooperation, good individual ability, and most importantly, their discipline and teamwork.
Tottenham's 11 players seemed to be kneaded together, and the Barcelona players felt like they were fighting like a giant again.
The noisy Camp Nou was quiet and the fans couldn't accept their defeat.
In their last game, they pulled off a shocking comeback and they thought they were going to be invincible, but in the face of Tottenham, their problems were laid bare in the open.
Messi failed to save the team and they could lose at home to Tottenham.
Even the La Liga media, which has been clamoring, is quiet.
They were the happiest before the game.
The scenario they set was for Real Madrid to take out Arsenal, Barcelona to slaughter Tottenham, and then the two teams, including Atletico Madrid, to advance to the semi-finals, to play a three-in-one, and finally complete the civil war of La Liga teams in the Champions League final again.
But the reality is a naked slap in the face, and Barcelona are likely to lose at home to Tottenham.
......
Tottenham and the English media, on the other hand, were full of laughter.
A Premier League reporter bumped the La Liga reporter on the shoulder and quipped: "Man, the Champions League sandwich biscuits you imagined are going to be lost." ”
This sentence is obviously an allusion to the delusional three-clamp-one model of La Liga media.
In the face of the arrogant Premier League reporters, the La Liga reporters looked very angry, but they had no reason to refute it, so they could only stare at the stadium with hatred.
At this time, Premier League reporters received a piece of news that was not too good.
Arsenal were unable to win the game against Real Madrid, as they were held to a draw at home by Real Madrid, with Alexis Sanchez and Ronaldo scoring a goal each. ’
Arsenal, who played with home advantage, failed to win Real Madrid, which made the Premier League media unhappy.
Look at Tottenham!
Gritting his teeth, he punched hard at Camp Nou.
You can still be held to a draw at home!
There is no harm if there is no comparison, and at this time, Arsenal's Premier League media has already confirmed the name of 'Tournament Soft Foot Shrimp'.
......
As the game approached 80 minutes, Tottenham still led Barcelona 2-1, which was good news for Tottenham.
At this time, Boas had no intention of continuing to expand the score.
And the wide range of runs not only tests the physical strength of the Barcelona players, but also the physical strength of the Tottenham players.
Running to such a large area is equivalent to the tactic of injuring 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 yourself.
Tottenham's average physical expenditure is several times that of Barcelona, which can drive Barcelona players to run wild.
Especially in Tottenham's midfield, Yile also showed some physical exhaustion reactions, you must know that Tottenham still has a second leg to play, and Yile can't have problems.
As a result, Boas was quick to make substitutions.
He directly used two substitutions.
Yi Le goes off and defensive midfielder Thomas. Carroll plays.
Dele. With Alli off the field, defender Voith came on to play as a defensive midfielder.
Yi Le saw the situation on the sidelines, and although he wanted to play the whole game, he still had to follow the deployment of Villas-Boas.
In the process of leaving the field, Yile received applause from the fans.
Even the Barcelona fans were applauding him.
Yile's performance in this game is obvious to all.
Bathed in applause, Yile came to the sideline with Thomas. Carroll high-fived and admonished: "Be careful, Barcelona's counterattack." ”
Thomas. Carroll nodded and joined Foyt.
Boas walked over and gave Yile a hug.
"It was a great kick!"
Boas rarely praises people, but Yile's performance in this game was just too good.
This game is almost Yile's super-level performance, and one person suppressed Barcelona's midfield, which can have the current advantageous situation.
In the face of Boas's exaggeration, Yile scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then stood on the sidelines with Ali to watch the game.
The two of them had just been doing strenuous exercise, and it was not good to sit down directly.
Moreover, they are also worried about Barcelona's next comeback.
......
Watching Yi Le walk off the field, the Barcelona players were also relieved.
The devil knows how much pressure this guy is putting on them.
Now that Yile is down, they can finally fight back.
With just over ten minutes to go before the end of the game, Tottenham's idea was simple, hold on for ten minutes and keep the 2-1 scoreline, which would be extremely beneficial for them in the second round.
Barcelona, on the other hand, fought back wildly.
Without Yile's suppression, Barcelona's almost collapsed midfield was finally liberated, and Messi and Suarez also came to the front.
In the 84th minute, Suarez passed a good pass to Messi, and after Messi got the ball, he went directly into the Tottenham penalty area.
But Alderved's defensive awareness was very good, and when Virhengtong was entanglement with Messi, he hooked Messi's ball from behind and defused the dangerous attack.
In the 86th minute, Barcelona sounded the horn of the counterattack again, this time from the right, Suarez relied on his speed to fight all the way to Tottenham's penalty area.
Kante and Thomas. Carroll gave him a bag clip, Suarez made a beautiful dive, and Thomas, who had just come on the field. Carroll successfully carries a yellow card.
On 89 minutes, Barcelona were already in a hurry, and they had to score as soon as possible.
This time, their passing and control play can be described as extraordinarily fluid and impactful.
Passing all the way directly into the penalty area, Busquets was in the confrontation, the final kick was not adjusted well, and the ball flew out of the goal frame.
It was a dangerous goal that almost gave Barcelona the back of the net.
Barcelona's head coach Enrique was also a little anxious at this time, he was extremely eager for a high school striker at this time, but Barcelona's average height was not good, and he was at a disadvantage in air combat.
The game entered injury time, and Barceloyan's counterattack was even more violent, a bit of a storm.
Even defenders such as Pique have joined in the counterattack, and the 1.9-meter Pique perfectly plays the role of a 'high school striker', frequently able to top the ball, and can also make the ball, which makes the pressure on Tottenham a little more.
The Tottenham fans in the stands were so angry that they were now afraid that they would have to catch their breath and blow the ball into their own goal.
Tottenham fans were stunned to hold their faces flushed, and finally a small inhale, a small exhale, that frightened appearance was really distressing.
A tactical foul by Tottenham and Barcelona boasted a well-placed free-kick.
Messi served as a non-concession standing at the penalty spot.
As the player with the highest free-kick percentage at this stage, Tottenham players are also close to the enemy.
No surprises, this is Barcelona's last chance to counter-attack.
Messi's expression was also extremely solemn, and he began to run slowly and slammed towards the ball.
The ball flew around the wall towards Tottenham's goal.
Aldved jumped as much as he could, but he could only touch the ball with his hair, unable to change its trajectory.
Everyone is looking away!
I just listened, and then an angry roar came.
Roar!!!!! ——
Lloris made a brave save, turning into Tottenham's real thigh and snuffing out Barcelona's last-ditch equaliser.
Seeing Lloris save the ball, the Tottenham players didn't have time to celebrate, and one by one they rushed to the spot where the ball landed with red eyes.
The same goes for the Barcelona players.
Everyone was huddled together, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
At this point, N'Golo Kante suddenly stepped up and took advantage of the chaos to kick the ball straight out of the touchline with a big kick.
Then, Kante turned his head directly and looked at the referee, this guy's eyes were almost eating people.
Whistle !! ——
The referee looked at the time gracefully, looked up at the unkind eyes of the Tottenham players, and immediately put the whistle in his mouth and blew a heavenly sound!
"The game is over!! The game is over!! Oh, God!!! Tottenham beat Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou! It was a score that no one could have imagined before the game, and when no one believed Tottenham, they believed in themselves and won the game!! At the BBC commentary desk in England, the three commentators and guests jumped up at the moment of the whistle.
"It was a great game!!"
"I couldn't believe my eyes! Tottenham won the game, they won the game away!! ”
......
On the field, the Tottenham players also jumped violently.
It was a tough match for them, but they still won it with tenacity.
In the direction of the coach's seat, Boas, Yile and others were also excited and difficult to be.
Assistant coach Michelle hugged Yile and shouted loudly in his ear: "We won!" We won! We won! Oh, God!! We really won!! ——”
In the stands of Tottenham, the fans were also jubilant as if it were the New Year.
Tottenham fans huddled in twos and threes, some of them were praying to the sky, some were covering their mouths and weeping, they felt so happy at this moment.
In a game in which no one was optimistic about them except Tottenham themselves, they ended up winning!
Nothing could be more exhilarating than this victory!
There's nothing more exciting than right now!
Thousands of Tottenham fans chanted.
Tottenham!!
Tottenham!!
Tottenham!!
We are the kings of White Hart Lane!
We are the pride of North London!!
